Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 200 Arrival

This was the first time that little Gu Xinxin had seen so many people since she was born.

As soon as they got on the train and found their seats, Gu Zhan took down the small blanket that was wrapped around his daughter.

Little Gu Xinxin was a little confused at first. She didn't understand why everything was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye there were so many people. It was so crowded that she couldn't help feeling panic and insecure.

Just when she was about to cry with her mouth pouting, Gu Zhan hurriedly patted her back and picked her up.

The little guy sitting in his father's arms finally felt a little safe. He looked left and right with his big eyes. When he saw that everyone around him was unfamiliar except his parents, he retracted his head into his father's arms.

Li Xiaoxi glanced at Gu Zhan helplessly and whispered, "Xinxin seems to be frightened."

"Well, you'll just need to get used to it after a while." Gu Zhan said.

Sure enough, after about two hours, Gu Xinxin finally got used to it and dared to stand on the ground and play for a while.

However, there were many people in the car and it was very crowded. Gu Zhan was afraid that she would get bumped, so he didn't let her stay on the ground for too long.

People at that time lived a simple and frugal life. Even when they traveled far away, they would eat the dry food they brought with them.

At noon, the three adults in the group ate the steamed buns that Huang Guihua had made early in the morning, while the little girl Gu Xinxin ate steamed buns soaked in boiling water. She was very dissatisfied with this and refused to eat it at first, but finally gave in because she couldn't stand the hunger anymore.

After a shaky day and night, we finally arrived at our destination, Beijing, the next morning.

Li Chuanzhong had already written a letter to tell his son Li Kaiyue the departure and arrival time of the train. Therefore, as soon as Liu Xuehua left the station, she saw a man with a profile very similar to that of her son Li Kaiyue looking at something in the direction of the exit.

Liu Xuehua smiled bitterly to herself. She wasn't even old yet, but her eyesight wasn't working well anymore.

"Mom!" Liu Xuehua had not taken a few steps when she saw the person she had just seen walking towards her. He was very thin, but in good spirits.

Liu Xuehua was stunned for a moment, then realized that the man was his son Li Kaiyue.

"Kai Yue..." Liu Xuehua stood there in a daze.

Li Kaiyue walked over and his eyes became moist when he saw the gray hair on his mother's head.

"Mom, you're back."

"Hey, I'm back."

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

Gu Zhan and his wife stood behind Liu Xuehua and waited until the mother and son finished speaking before they went forward to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xuehua pulled the couple aside and introduced them to their son Li Kaiyue, "This is your father and I's benefactor from Shanghe Village. This year, they both passed the college entrance exam and are here in Beijing to study."

As he said this, he pulled the two of them in front of him and introduced his son to them.

"This is my son Li Kaiyue."

Li Kaiyue initially thought that they were just acquaintances, but now that he heard that they were his parents' benefactors, he began to become enthusiastic towards them.

"Thank you both for taking care of my parents. Really, thank you very much."

Gu Zhan smiled and said, "It's just a small favor, don't take it to heart."

Although Gu Zhan said it lightly, Liu Xuehua knew that according to her physical condition at the time, if she hadn't had Gu Zhan's help, she couldn't be sure whether she could come back alive, let alone stand in front of her son now.

"Aunt Liu, you are so polite." Liu Xiaoxi spoke at the right time.

"Alas, you two don't have a place to live right now. Why don't you come with me first and move out once you find a place."

On the way, Liu Xuehua learned that the couple planned to rent a house here. Thinking that they would not be able to find a place to live for the time being, she invited them.

Gu Zhan knew that Liu Xuehua's invitation was sincere, but now that they were a family of three and had a lot of luggage, it would be too much of a bother if they went there rashly. So he said, "Thank you very much for your invitation, but it's really too much of a bother. Why don't you leave your home address and I will visit you after I'm settled here."

Liu Xuehua had known Gu Zhan for some time, so she naturally knew his character. If he refused at the beginning, it would be useless even if she tried to persuade him later.

So she looked at her son Li Kaiyue.

Li Kaiyue understood what his mother meant and told Gu Zhan the address of his new home after moving.

Sitting on the bus, Gu Zhan looked at the brand new environment and felt more cheerful than ever before.

Even Liu Xiaoxi's homesickness of the past few days was swept away, and she and her daughter stared at the new and vivid scenery outside.

The bus was shaking and stopping frequently. Liu Xiaoxi felt it was a new experience. In Xia County, she only took such buses when traveling long distances. She never expected that the city of Beijing would be full of such buses.

Gu Zhan looked at his wife, who looked like a deer rushing out of the forest into the bustling city, and smiled slightly. Then he found that his wife was looking at him, so he retracted the corners of his lips.

After arriving at the destination, Gu Zhan and his men got off the car.

In this crowded yet unfamiliar place, the joy of arriving in Beijing just now disappeared, leaving only confusion.

"Where are we going?" Liu Xiaoxi asked in a low voice while holding the child.

"Let's go to the guesthouse first. I'll look for a house after you two are settled."

Liu Xiaoxi originally wanted to say that she would also go to look for an apartment, but after seeing her daughter who had been sitting in the car for several days, she compromised and whispered in Gu Zhan's ear, "Okay then."

After taking out the certificate and registering for a room at the guesthouse, Gu Zhan walked in front carrying the luggage, and Liu Xiaoxi followed behind Gu Zhan.

With a "rustle" and the sound of curtains being pulled, sunlight suddenly poured in from outside the glass window, filling the room with light in an instant.

Liu Xiaoxi also saw the scene in the room clearly.

The room was filled with red lacquered wooden furniture, brand new white sheets, and even the lights were powered by electricity, unlike the guesthouse in the county town that used candles.

After putting his luggage away, Gu Zhan also sat down to rest.

Gu Xinxin, who had not been out of bed for several days, could finally let go of her hands and feet and stumble around on the ground.

But she was a little girl and was wearing warm clothes. The floor was covered with tiles, so Liu Xiaoxi was not worried about her getting her clothes dirty. She simply let her toss and turn on the floor.

Gu Zhan looked at the unfamiliar scene in front of him and felt his eyes a little sore.

What I have been thinking about for decades has finally come true at this moment.

Sensing the change in Gu Zhan's mood, Liu Xiaoxi turned around and asked Gu Zhan: "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Zhan shook his head and smiled slightly, "It's okay, I just feel that the way it is now is good, you are by my side, and my daughter is by my side too."

After hearing what Gu Zhan said, Liu Xiaoxi was also a little stunned. Thinking about it, it seemed incredible that they had come to this strange big city from Shanghe Village in the blink of an eye.

"It felt like a dream, like a beautiful dream."

Gu Zhan stretched out his finger and tapped Liu Xiaoxi's forehead after a long absence, saying, "What are you thinking about? Wash your face, let's go have lunch."

"Okay."
