Gu Yecheng patted her head, "You guys go ahead and eat, daddy won’t eat."
If it were in Lihua Village, you could exchange things like empty toothpaste boxes or chicken feathers for maltose candy, which wasn’t worth much money. It was a nice treat for the children at home.
Su Peng was about to make a trip back to Lihua Village, and Gu Yecheng, having nothing else to do, decided to tag along, naturally bringing the two children with him.
Looking up at the upstairs, Su Peng shouted, "Xiaofeng, Acheng and I are going back to the village. Do you want to join us?"
Xiaofeng was of course tempted.
For her, Lihua Village was the place she knew best.
She came out of her room, "Wait for me, I’ll be right down."
All the way, Xiaobao kept talking to mom, but mom didn’t seem very happy. She had to say many things before mom would respond.
Dad had said that mom was now a sick person and needed to be taken care of.
Of course, Xiaofeng was no stranger to the county town, but she wasn’t familiar either. Back when she was in school, aside from school and home, she wasn’t familiar with other places.
On this trip, she noticed that many places had changed.
When they reached Lihua Village and saw Su Peng’s car, many villagers came around: "Pengzi, you’re back."
"My goodness, there’s a pair of babies too. Are these the twins that Xiaofeng gave birth to?"
"Dr. Cheng, you’re back too."
"Xiaofeng, you’re really blessed. Not only did you give birth to boy and girl twins, but you also got married in a place like the Imperial Capital. Xiaofeng, our village will surely bask in your glory from now on."
Looking at these familiar faces, Xiaofeng just chuckled lightly.
In the past, these villagers weren’t so enthusiastic about her. They spoke behind her back, and she had heard plenty of unpleasant words.
"Acheng, you’ve come back too. It’s been some days since we’ve seen you." Third Great-Uncle came over, beaming: "Well, the boy and girl twins have grown so much, looking just like Fairy Child, so well-nourished."
As he spoke, Third Great-Uncle beckoned Gu Dabao and Xiaobao over: "Come to Great-Grandpa, let Great-Grandpa give you a hug."
Xiaobao looked at the bearded old man in front of her and reached out to grab his little beard.
Third Great-Uncle was tickled into a fit of laughter.
"Xiaofeng." Many villagers gazed at Xiaofeng with envy in their eyes: "We haven’t seen you in months, and you seem to have become even more beautiful. I heard you’re being a young mistress in the Imperial Capital. Is it like what’s shown on TV? Do you have people following you when you go out, and attendants to help you with eating and dressing?"
Xiaofeng knew these people, but the words coming out of their mouths combined together seemed incomprehensible to her.
Gu Yecheng naturally took Xiaofeng’s hand and said with a smile to the villagers, "Xiaofeng is shy, you’re making her embarrassed. Being a young mistress is an exaggeration. Life is definitely better than the average family. If you ever have the chance to visit the Imperial Capital, Xiaofeng will surely take good care of everyone."
"Dr. Cheng, your word is enough. But for people like us, we probably won’t get the chance to see a place like the Imperial Capital. It’s up to the young people to have that opportunity."
Gu Yecheng smiled and led Xiaofeng back to their home.
Xiaofeng certainly recognized the house in front of her.
It had been renovated, made more beautiful.
But this was where she grew up, no matter how much it changed, she would recognize it.
Gu Yecheng and she stood in front of the house, "Do you still remember this place?"
The news of her pregnancy had been diagnosed and announced by him in this house, and it quickly spread throughout the village.
