Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

Chapter 151 Gu An is back

After ending the call with Gu An, Gu Qingyu sighed deeply, picked up the phone again, and called Gu Yue's family in the county town and Gu Husheng's family in Xinhu City.

The old lady passed away suddenly. As the only daughter and the eldest grandson of the Gu family, these two people must be notified.

After doing all these things, Gu Qingyu suddenly felt empty in her heart, and she didn't know what to do for a moment. She mechanically took heavy steps and slowly walked towards the Gu family.

Every time Gu Qingyu returned from a long trip, Li Dahua would always stand at the gate, welcoming her home with joy. However, now the familiar gate is right before her eyes, but that warm figure is no longer there.

It is often said that elderly people often have a special premonition about their own physical condition.

Gu Qingyu now recalled that during the Chinese New Year, the old lady had forced her to learn cooking, contrary to her usual behavior. She was puzzled and surprised at the time. Now she thought that the old lady must have had a premonition that she was about to leave the world and was worried that Gu Qingyu would not be able to live well alone after she was gone, so she was so strong in asking her to learn to cook.

She once again thought about the little things she had experienced with the old lady over the years and the careful plans she had made for her in the last days of her life.

The tears that Gu Qingyu had been holding back all the way suddenly burst out like rain. She could no longer hold it back. She squatted at the gate of the yard in a very ungraceful manner and burst into tears.

No matter what, Li Dahua passed away peacefully at such an age, which could be considered a happy funeral. Therefore, Li Dahua's funeral was held very grandly. The wreaths that came to Gu's house to pay tribute to Li Dahua filled the dirt roads around Gu's house.

In addition to relatives and friends from the same family who came to pay their respects, more people from other villages heard the news and came to pay their respects spontaneously out of gratitude to Gu Qingyu for leading them out of poverty and into prosperity.

Gu An hurried back to Gujia Village on the third day.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Gu An and Chen Qingxuan didn't look much different, but Gu Dongsheng and Gu Beisheng had grown from young boys into grown men.

"Mother! Your unfilial son has returned to see you!" As soon as Gu An entered the room, he kowtowed and cried bitterly in front of Li Dahua's coffin parked in the main hall.

"Why did you leave so suddenly? Your son didn't even get to see you for the last time, and you haven't even met your two grandsons!" For a moment, the mourning hall was filled with Gu An's crying.

Seeing this, Chen Qingyu and his two sons also kowtowed to the old lady's coffin behind Gu An.

While Gu An was mourning, the villagers who were watching the excitement outside the Gu family's house were also busy. The crowd gathered around Gu An and started to talk quietly. Some gossiped about his love life, while others questioned why he hadn't returned to his hometown for so long. There were all kinds of things to say at once.

"This is Gu An, I can't recognize him! The last time I saw him was when he came to pick up Qingyu to go to Beijing!"

"Yes, it's been more than ten years!"

"Why didn't he come back to visit his parents in all these years?"

"Maybe he's busy with work, but I heard that Gu An has been sending living expenses to the old couple every month for so many years!"

Everyone started talking about the living expenses. Some people noticed Chen Qingxue and the others standing behind Gu An. People around them gossiped, "That must be the wife and child that Gu An will marry in the future! These two children really look like Gu family members."

"Isn't that nonsense? Their children must look like the Gu family!"

Inside the house, Gu Qingyu waited for these people to kowtow before handing over the lit incense in his hand and said to them, "Dad, light the incense for grandma first before crying!"

Uh, Gu Qingyu's words made Gu An choke for a moment, but fortunately he reacted in time, took the incense handed to him by Gu Qingyu, bowed three times in front of the old lady's portrait, and then inserted it into the incense burner.

The Gu family then surrounded Gu An and the others. The children were very curious about their second uncle, whom they rarely met and had only heard of through rumors from others.

"Second uncle, you must be tired after traveling all the way. I'll take you into the house first and put down your luggage, and then come out to have some hot food!" Gu Haisheng said to Gu An's family.

"You must be Haisheng, right? I haven't seen you for so long that my second uncle almost didn't recognize you. The ones next to you are your daughter and boy, right? They are so handsome!" Gu An said as he reached out and touched the tops of the children's heads.

"Yes, second uncle! These are the naughty kids in my family." Gu Haisheng touched his children's heads and said with a smile.

"Let me arrange them, Brother Haisheng, you go to the front and help greet people!" Gu Qingyu saw that someone else came to pay homage in the main hall in front, and spoke quickly.

"Yes, yes, yes! You guys go and do your work, and let Qingyu lead us there!" Gu An came back to his senses and said to Gu Haisheng.

"There are a lot of people at home recently, so you can stay in the north side room. There is a big kang there that was built for baking mushrooms before, which is just enough to accommodate your family of four." Gu Qingyu said to Gu An and others.

"Well, the situation is special, so it's fine as long as there's a place to stay!" Gu An didn't care about Gu Qingyu's words and agreed readily.

However, Gu Dongsheng and Gu Beisheng couldn't adapt to the room in front of them, which had nothing but a kang.

However, the two of them also noticed that Gu An and Gu Qingyu were in a bad mood, so they didn't dare to offer any opinions.

Gu Qingyu naturally noticed that the two people's expressions were not right, but she pretended not to know and waved at them, signaling them to come over.

"Come with me, both of you, and help bring the quilt and pillow over!" Gu Qingyu ordered the two of them.

Compared to her youthful appearance a few years ago, Gu Qingyu's temperament has undergone a qualitative change. She seems more serious and sharp. When these two people saw Gu Qingyu, they thought of the principal of their former school.

So when Gu Qingyu called out, Gu Dongsheng and Gu Beisheng didn't delay for a second and followed Gu Qingyu obediently to work.

The old man has been in a depressed state since the old lady passed away. Fortunately, the arrival of Gu An's family of four helped Gu Dahu feel a little better.

"Oh, the second brother and his family are back. We are really reunited this time. It's a pity that I don't have the chance to see it!" Gu Dahu suddenly said with emotion while holding the hands of his two eldest grandsons.

But as soon as these words were spoken, Gu An's family suddenly became embarrassed. After all, they had never been back once in all these years.

Seeing this, Gu Ping changed the subject, "Dad, why are you talking about this? The second son is busy with work. He's in the army, how can he come back just like that?"

"Yes, Grandpa! Second uncle is also busy with work!" Seeing this, others spoke up and agreed, making the atmosphere less awkward.
