At noon the next day, Gu Yi came back.

Li Ying and Gu Miaole circled around him, pulled the big padded jacket with their hands, and asked east and west.

"It's strange, why did you come back so late, it's the New Year tomorrow!"

Gu Yi put down the bamboo basket on his back, and pushed his mother and little sister away with a smile.

"The only tractor in the village went into the city today, and I came back from someone else's tractor. It snowed heavily the other day, and the mountain roads were slippery and wet, and I didn't dare to come back! ”

Li Ying asked angrily: "What don't you do a few days in advance?" The classmates who went to the countryside with you have already returned! What do you do the slowest? Yes? ”

"I'm ......" Gu Yi looked left and right: "I'm busy!" Mom, where's the little tiger? What about the tiger? ”

"Uncle!" Little Huzi flew out of the room, rushed over with joy, and shouted, "Uncle! Uncle! ”

Gu Yi's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward happily, scooped up the little tiger, made a few circles in the air, and threw a few more up and down, before holding the giggling little tiger in his arms, "Bobobo!" "Kiss a few times.

Xiaohuzi was most afraid of itching, and was amused to giggle again.

Gu Yi couldn't help but laugh along.

As soon as Gu Qi and Chen Xingling walked to the door, they saw this warm and cheerful scene, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of their mouths.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, Ah Yi...... Seems to be much more cheerful. ”

Chen Xingling blinked his eyes and whispered: "After the little uncle went to the countryside, he became taller, darker, and much stronger. Maybe there is someone in my heart, I have come back less often this year, but I always have a smile on my eyebrows and eyes, and I look sweet. ”

"Oh?" Gu Qi glared in surprise, and then smiled dumbly: "Really? ”

Chen Xingling grinned: "He didn't tell me, and I was embarrassed to take the initiative to ask him about his private affairs." But you can always trust a woman's instincts in such a thing! ”

Such words are too novel for Gu Qi, a straight man of steel, but the object is his wife, and he instinctively believes it.

Gu Qi thought about it and thought about it seriously.

"Twenty-one years old, you can really find a partner at this age."

Chen Xingling was amused by his serious face of "eldest brother is like father", and couldn't help laughing.

"Big brother! Sister-in-law! Gu Yi strode over with the little tiger in his arms, and he saw the warm scene of his brother and sister-in-law coming together, and his excitement and joy were overflowing: "Brother! Long time no see! ”

Gu Qi has never been good at expressing emotions, and although he is also very excited in his heart, he only smiles on his face.

"Ah Yi, I'm back. Did the road go well? ”

Chen Xingling's impression of the little uncle has always been excellent, and he greeted him with a smile.

"Little Huzi, did my uncle kiss you? Fast! You kiss your uncle a few times! ”

The little guy immediately complied, and kissed his uncle's cheek with his little mouth, but quickly wrinkled his cute little face and avoided it in disgust.

"Uncle's face is so cold! No kisses! ”

Gu Yi laughed, revealing a neat row of snow-white teeth.

Gu Qi looked at his younger brother and found that he hadn't seen him for a few years, and he had really changed a lot.

The pair of white and slender hands that used to hold the pen are now black and thick. is a lot stronger, and looks a little like a young man in the countryside, who has long lost the elegant temperament of a scholar.

Thinking that he must have suffered a lot during his trip to the countryside, but it is not a good thing to think back that boys can have the opportunity to go out to exercise when they are young.

Gu Yi pulled the eldest brother to ask, after all, they are brothers, even if they haven't seen each other for a few years, they are still very close.

Xiaohuzi jumped into his father's arms for a while, hugged his uncle's thighs for a while, and circled around them happily.

The brothers chatted and teased Xiaohuzi, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Chen Xingling poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

"It's cold on the road, isn't it? Don't be in a hurry to talk, take a sip of the hot one first. ”

Gu Yi smiled: "Thank you, sister-in-law!" If you go out before dawn, you'll be thirsty for a long time! Thank you! ”

Then, he drank most of the glass in one go.

Xiaohuzi teased crisply: "Uncle, you are a big buffalo!" ”

Gu Yi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you remember the big buffalo?" Uncle took you to see the big cow last time, do you remember? ”

"Remember!" Xiaohuzi read aloud carefully: "Eat grass slowly, drink water in large gulps, cultivate land diligently and love labor, and hum with a big nose - moo moo!" ”

Gu Yi laughed and kissed the little guy's head.

"That's amazing! I remember them all! ”

Then, he looked at Gu Qi and Chen Xingling and explained: "Big brother, sister-in-law, this kid must have a great talent for reading!" I read this sentence once, and he remembered every word in his mind! ”

Gu Qi was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I've been in contact with him for a few days. He was very playful and active, and he spoke well, much more than his peers. I haven't found anything else, so my memory should be okay. ”

Chen Xingling looked at the cute little guy and said warmly: "It's still a little bit young, grow up first, know how to be polite and hygienic, and take your time with the rest, don't be in a hurry." ”

The son can't sit still, and it's not a good material for reading.

But as a mother, especially the mother of the future villain, her greatest wish is to teach him to know the law and abide by the law, understand benevolence, righteousness and morality, and be a good law-abiding citizen, and he can't expect too much else.

Gu Yi rubbed Xiaohuzi's hair and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I remember that today is Xiaohuzi's birthday, right?" ”

Chen Xingling was slightly stunned, and then nodded.

"Yes...... Xiaohuzi is the twenty-eighth birthday of the lunar calendar, which happens to be today. ”

The son was born today three years ago, at the end of the Year of the Tiger, so according to his father's advice before going abroad, he was named "Gu Yinmo".

Because it was a little guy born in the tail of the Year of the Tiger, I didn't know who started to call "Little Tiger", and slowly got used to it, and shouted and shouted to have such a nickname.

At this time, most people celebrate the lunar birthday, not the birthday of the solar calendar, so they generally only remember the day of birth in the lunar calendar.

Gu Yi turned his head and shouted, "Mom, did you boil two red eggs for Xiaohuzi today?" It's his birthday today! ”

During the years he went to the countryside, he would go home from time to time, knowing that everything in the family was arranged by his old mother.

Although the work is done by the sister-in-law, what to eat and what to use at home has to be decided by the mother.

He once secretly ridiculed the old mother for being the old head of the feudal model, but the old mother also learned the stubbornness of the feudal old woman, and he didn't listen to what she said, he simply didn't bother to talk about her anymore.

However, when he wrote letters or called his eldest brother, he would occasionally hint that his sister-in-law was not doing well in his hometown, and even reminded him that he must take his sister-in-law back earlier, so as not to affect the relationship between husband and wife after a long period of separation.

Li Ying: "Huh? With a sigh, his eyes dodged.

"The ...... of a child's family What a birthday! The old hens in the family didn't lay many eggs, so they finally saved about 20 of them, which were kept for the New Year. ”

Gu Yi pursed his lips and whispered: "This is not Xiaohuzi's birthday~ Let's save one bite and two eggs - boil two red eggs." ”

"Mom! I haven't eaten a boiled egg in a long time! Gu Miao hugged Li Ying's arm and coquettishly: "Why don't you cook a few and give me one." ”

When Li Ying heard it, she couldn't help but feel distressed: "What are you talking about!" Cook a few at once, what will you eat for the New Year tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?! ”

Gu Yi was reluctant to let his eldest nephew have no eggs to eat, so he stopped: "Forget it, keep your eggs to hatch the chicks." ”

Then he dug through the basket and pulled out a few small eggs.

"Huzi, look! Uncle gave you the bird's egg! ”

Little Tiger was pleasantly surprised: "Wow! With a bang, his eyes lit up and he stared at the eggs.

"Uncle, can you eat it? Isn't it delicious? ”
