Chapter 283 Reunion
Gu Si was cutting noodles while the soup in the pot was bubbling. Seeing Pei Yanning coming in, he lowered his voice and explained, "It was a fork in the road. My second brother met an acquaintance who used to ride a sports car with him, so he took a ride here.

At this moment, the cart stopped at the edge of a forest on the way, and my second uncle planned to bring back some firewood. "

Pei Yanning: “…”

"This is really something your second uncle can do."

Uncle Pei has always been considerate, and it is indeed inconvenient for them here.

"I told Lao Hei earlier to help keep an eye out and send some charcoal over."

Gu Si also thought about this question.

"I originally thought that if there was not enough coal, it would be enough to cut down all the trees around our yard."

Many of the trees around the yard had their branches and vines stripped of their bark.

Even though this is Kyoto, life is still not easy. Just thinking about where the tree barks have gone, you can get a general idea.

Gu Si and Pei Yanning didn't have to wait too long. Just as they put the pot stickers into the pot, they heard the sound of a car approaching outside. Gu Si turned around and walked out. Pei Yanning hurriedly stuffed some firewood into the stove and followed him out of the house.

A truck just stopped in front of the door, the door opened, and people got out one after another.

Uncle Pei handed the children over one by one, and all three fell asleep. Minghui was also very sleepy and groggy, but he woke up after being tossed around like this. Seeing familiar people in an unfamiliar place, he was a little excited and poked his head around to look at what was going on.

Lingxi stayed at the end, and she could hardly open her eyes.

The train started to limit the use of coal in the afternoon yesterday. The carriage was freezing cold. She hadn't fallen asleep in the first place, and after arriving at the station around three in the morning, she took a nap in the carriage.

I was just trying to keep myself awake and give directions, but now it's already seven or eight in the morning.

Now that she saw her home, her fourth brother, her biological father, and that they were all alive and well, her nerves finally relaxed. Seeing Gu Si approaching the car to pick her up, she subconsciously smiled, then threw herself into his arms, and then let herself close her eyes. She really could fall asleep at any time.

The passenger seat in the front of the truck was a bit high, and when Uncle Pei and Pei Yu turned around, they saw Lingxi's extremely dangerous action. Fortunately, just as they were about to get nervous, they saw Gu Si catch the person quite skillfully and hold him steadily.

Uncle Pei was helpless: "Be careful."

And at this moment, when he truly held the little girl in his arms, he felt that the missing piece in his heart seemed to be filled.

He held the person tightly, and his already handsome features softened instantly. His cold and emotionless eyes were filled with layers of smiles. When he heard Uncle Pei's words, he just nodded to show that he was listening.

"Let Lingxi fall asleep first. She might be too sleepy."

Pei Yanning was a step behind, but he also saw the whole scene and added a sentence.

You don't need to think to know that I probably didn't get much sleep that night.

Ling Xi was really confused. She didn't quite remember what was going on. She just knew that when she saw Gu Si and his biological father, she felt safe and everything was fine.

When she heard what her father said, she just muttered, "I'm sleepy."

Lingxi fell asleep almost immediately after she finished mumbling.

"Go to sleep, we're home."

Pei Yanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and spoke in a soothing tone.

He rubbed Minghui's head and made sure Lingxi was fine. He was surprised but not that surprised to see the old man coming with them. He just said, "The kids are all sleeping, right? And Minghui, are you still sleepy? Do you want to sleep a little longer?" Minghui shook his head vigorously.

Not sleepy, don’t want to sleep!

He is in high spirits now.

Pei Yanning patted his head and instructed: "Go to the kitchen and help Fourth Grandpa to check the fire."

"Yeah." Minghui happily went in the direction Pei Yanning pointed.

After Pei Yanning and the others settled Lingxi and a few other children, they turned around and started moving things from the car.

Actually, the gifts I brought with me were not much. I only carried a few pieces of clothes, a small amount of food, meat, and the leeks and spinach grown in the house. Most of them were sent here two days ago, and they should arrive in two days.

But the main thing that was moved was not the gift baggage, but the firewood pulled from the cart.

Half a trainload of firewood is enough to burn until the snow melts next year.

Uncle Pei and his companions were very careful when they were chopping wood. They only picked trees with the bark peeled off. These trees were almost completely dried out by the sun. After they were cut down and the snow covering the surface was removed, they could be burned simply by roasting them.

The big brother who drove them here was initially frightened by the team of people equipped with real weapons guarding the door. What was going on with these people at the door?
however--

When I was moving firewood, they helped to move it and didn't stop people from coming in. I felt that these people were protecting the people inside. Then how awesome must Pei Yu's uncle be?
Thinking of this, the elder brother moved things more diligently.

We didn't want to let him work for free, so we invited him to have breakfast, and when he left, we gave him two packs of good cigarettes that you couldn't buy even with money.

Holding the special supply, the elder brother felt that things were exactly as he thought...

I didn't expect that Pei Yu, with such a big background, would remain quiet.
-
It was already three or four in the afternoon when Lingxi woke up. She hugged the quilt lazily and didn't want to move. She just stared at the furnishings in the room. The room was very simple, with a bed, a table, a chair and a wardrobe.

There was also a sofa under the window, but it should be new. Lingxi looked at the wood and compared it with the small bed with guardrails not far away, and she knew that it was probably made recently.

The room was completely unfamiliar, but as long as Lingxi thought about the fact that Gu Si had lived here for several months and that this house was bought by her father, Lingxi no longer felt unfamiliar and did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Gu Si has been paying attention to what's going on here!

Seeing that she woke up, she came over.

I pushed open the door and saw her staring at the crib, and smiled, "The baby slept until about ten in the morning, and now she's all around daddy."

Lingxi's brain was still working a little slowly, and when she saw Gu Si she smiled subconsciously. Gu Si came forward to hug her, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, without saying anything, but both of them smiled.

But at this moment——

"Aunt, aunt, ahhhh, aunt... help..." Minghui's voice came from the yard.

Gu Si: “…”

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

With a biological father, an uncle, and a second brother, and with so many younger brothers guarding outside with weapons, how could Minghui be in such danger that he needed to be rescued?
Although Lingxi thought so, she still planned to go and take a look.

Gu Si took Lingxi's clothes and put them on her quickly, letting her button them herself. He then helped Lingxi put on her thick cotton shoes, and then he took her hand and walked out slowly.
