Chapter 315: The House
Jiang Defu introduced Gu Yu to his wife An Jie and his two children, National Day and Military Day.
"Xiaoyu, are you dizzy on the boat? This is your Brother National Day, Brother Junqing, they will protect you in the future. An Jie squatted down, took Gu Yu's little hand and whispered softly.
"Chief of Staff Jiang, this is a letter written by Secretary Gu to you, this is some of Secretary Gu's relics, as well as his pension and Xiaoyu's luggage." Liu Sheng took out a letter first, and then handed the suitcase he was carrying to Jiang Defu, and as he spoke, tears fell.
Jiang Defu's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, took the suitcase and put it on the ground, and directly opened the envelope.
Looking at it, Jiang Defu's eyes were already red, and he held back his tears. The letter recalled their previous battlefield experience, and sighed that they couldn't watch New China get better and better, couldn't accompany Gu Yu to grow up, and didn't fulfill their father's responsibilities, and sincerely entrusted Gu Yu to him, and also explained the reason, in addition to the two of them being fellow countrymen and comrades-in-arms, as well as natural disasters in recent years, and worries, at this time, Songshan Island, which is lonely outside the mainland, is not much affected, like a paradise, and the beloved son of his parents has far-reaching plans, Gu Gang uses scorching ideals to burn himself and achieve the health of his family and country. At the last moment of the struggle against the disease, he could not avoid thinking about his son Gu Yu.
When Jiang Defu finished reading the letter and looked at the sea, his mood could not be calmed down for a long time. The villagers who came with Gu Yu and Liu Sheng moved all the things they brought over, came to Liu Sheng, and after confirming with him that the person in front of them was Gu Gang's comrade-in-arms, they suddenly knelt down and startled Jiang Defu.
"I can't help it, I can't help it, what are you doing here? Get up! Jiang Defu hurriedly pulled up the person in front of him, and beckoned An Jie and Liu Sheng, as well as the soldiers who brought things to help people up, Gu Yu also trotted over and helped Jiang Defu pull up the leader, because he had contact with Liu Sheng before, and knew that they had brought a lot of things, so Jiang Defu also called someone to help.
"You are Secretary Gu's comrade-in-arms, Chief of Staff Jiang, right? Xiaoyu will please you, it is the villagers in our county who are sorry for him, let him have no parents at a young age, Secretary Gu is our great benefactor, if it weren't for him, I don't know how many people will starve to death in recent years, we beg you to take care of this child, you are the person trusted by Secretary Gu, it will definitely not be wrong, that is, we are not at ease, we don't know a few words, and we can't speak, just beg you, you must take care of him, if you have difficulties and can't continue to take care of him, please tell us, we will take the child back, Our county is poor, but even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we will raise this child to adulthood, otherwise how can we be worthy of this child's parents. The middle-aged man in the lead cried and said, tall and thin, with vicissitudes of skin, and calluses on his hands from farm work.
Jinling County is an agricultural county, and there are not many people who really break away from agricultural production in this era, and the urban population is very small.
The villagers who followed behind were also in tears, in their hearts, they were grateful for the memory of the deceased Secretary Gu, and the guilt of Gu Yu who became an orphan.
"Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of him, I am a comrade-in-arms with Brother Gu, he is not only the leader of my revolutionary road, but also saved my life on the battlefield, you don't have to worry, I will treat Xiaoyu as my own child." Jiang Defu grabbed his hand tightly and swore that he would have to say with certainty.
Liu Sheng and the villagers in Jinling County did not stay to eat, and after they said goodbye to Gu Yu reluctantly, they embarked on the road home, and it took two or three days to get home.
"Xiaoyu, this is your new home, is it okay? Isn't this yard quite big? In the future, you can play here with your two older brothers. Jiang Defu hugged Gu Yu, introduced him to life on the island along the way, and came to the residence.
Although Gu Yu has the memory of an adult, he also cried when he was separated just now, and his eyes were still red at this moment.
Waiting for Jiang Defu to command the soldiers to put the things brought by Liu Sheng and his entourage in the courtyard, and then clean up the things later, the couple took Gu Yu into the back room first.
The house is assigned to Jiang Defu to live in accordance with the treatment of division-level cadres in this era, and in this era there are four bedrooms and two living rooms, entering the door is a row of washbasins, facing the dining room, to the left is the living room, in which is Jiang Defu Anjie's master bedroom, there are two bedrooms on the right hand side of the dining room, and there is a bedroom in front plus a kitchen, plus a private bathroom in the yard, and from the location, this is a small courtyard with a sea view, this living condition, even if it is modern, it is very good.
"Xiaoyu, this is your bedroom, we arranged it a little, and I don't know if you like it or not." An Jie took Gu Yu's small hand and asked softly, a little uncertain and nervous in his tone.
Gu Yu also looked at his bedroom, next to the dining room, it should have been Jiang Yafei's room for Jiang Yaning, who had not yet been born, the room was very large, after placing the bed, cabinet, and table, it still seemed to have a sense of space, as well as wind chimes decorated with shells, a small wooden horse next to the bed, and a display cabinet with all kinds of toys, wooden swords, and wooden guns.
Gu Yu could feel the hearts of Jiang Defu and his wife, although these toys seemed to me to want to play, anyway, on the National Day next to his parents, the eldest of the Junqing brothers was full of envy for seeing these, but a good tutor let them know that these were the new brothers, and their parents reiterated to them many times that they must love Gu Yu.
"Thank you, let my uncle and aunt bother, I like it very much," Gu Yu bowed to An Jie and Jiang Defu obediently.
Looking at the sensible Gu Yu, An Jie couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and even more distressed, as soon as he hugged Gu Yu, tears were about to fall.
"Xiaoyu, you don't have to be so polite with us in the future, at your own home." What Jiang Defu wanted to say, when he thought about it later, Gu Yu had just arrived, and it would definitely take time to get used to it.
"That, National Day, Military Day, you take Xiaoyu to have fun, remember what your parents told you. An Jie, let's go pack Xiaoyu's luggage, it's not too early, it's time to prepare dinner. Jiang Defu smiled and pulled up An Jie, who was squatting on the ground and hugging Gu Yu, and instructed two sentences.
"Well, yes, National Day Junqing, you are the elder brother, you have to take care of the younger brother, Xiaoyu, what do you want to eat? Auntie will do it for you. An Jie stood up, wiped her tears, and asked softly,
"I can do anything, I love to eat anything." Gu Yu replied in a milky voice, and was touched by An Jie's smile again.
The couple left Gu Yu's bedroom to give the children time to get acquainted with each other.
"I'm Jiang Guoqing, he is my younger brother, his name is Jiang Junqing, my father said, you will be our younger brother in the future, and we will definitely protect you." Guoqing patted his little chest and promised like a little adult, and Jun Qing also nodded vigorously.
Wouldn't it be more convincing if you could wipe your nose away? Also, the eyes that stare at the toy are also a little closer.
Gu Yu looked at the two children in front of him with a helpless expression, you must know that he is 27 years old in his heart, and the other is 6 years old and 4 and a half years old.
