Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Finally Back Home!_1

Gu Huai’an gave a slight smile and said warmly to Song Liang, "Uncle Song, Old Mr. Ji called me and hoped I could pay attention to the matter. I happened not to have anything pressing these past few days, so I rushed over overnight. Luckily, I made it in time."

Song Liang hurriedly said, "That... that’s too much trouble."

Gu Huai’an smiled gently as jade: "It’s no trouble at all!"

Song Yunuan blinked her eyes: "Then, how should I introduce you to my little uncle later?"

Indeed, how should she introduce him?

The train arrived at the station.

Xia Xindong, wearing sunglasses, walked out with Secretary Bai.

Even with the sunglasses, he still saw a pretty little girl hopping and waving her hands at him.

Xia Guilan was overwhelmed with tears, her hands and feet at a loss, as Song Liang stepped forward to greet them.

His lips moved, but he didn’t know what to say.

Song Yunuan’s voice was cheerful: "Little uncle, I’m here!"

Xia Xindong’s aloof expression finally softened, and he took off his sunglasses, revealing a warm smile to Song Yunuan.

Was this the Song Yunuan that Shangguan Heng had gritted his teeth in anger about, and swore to kill with his own hands?

She was still such a kid at heart.

Yet she had accomplished a great feat.

Xia Xindong’s hands clenched. Home again, for his family, and for Little Nuan, he needed to make new plans.

He turned to Secretary Bai, and his voice was somewhat hoarse from not talking much: "Thank you for accompanying me on the journey, Secretary Bai. Please convey to Xia Bowen that I plan to submit the improved dshyt formula. There will be no copyright or legal disputes, so he can rest assured about the production. I hope he can help with the procedures."

Secretary Bai swallowed.

"What, um?"

Please forgive him for not understanding.

Song Yunuan said with a smile: "It’s the specific medicine for treating disease No. 06."

Then she looked at Xia Xindong: "Little uncle, did I get it right?"

Xia Xindong didn’t seem shocked, but just nodded with a smile in his eyes.

Secretary Bai still hadn’t caught on, mainly because he didn’t even know what disease No. 06 was.

And he didn’t dare to ask.

Secretary Bai, usually so full of bravado, was now sweating.

He stared blankly at Xia Xindong, instinctively nodding: "Uh, yes, of course, I will definitely pass on the message!"

Song Liang finally found his voice and said, "Well, it’s not convenient to talk here; let’s leave the station first and talk more at home."

Song Yunuan chattered away: "Little uncle, I came here by horse-drawn cart; let’s take the cart back."

Gu Huai’an had been standing quietly by, not far from Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan happily introduced Gu Huai’an and Xia Xindong to each other.

After all, he had come, and she knew, of course, that Gu Huai’an hadn’t planned on remaining unnoticed.

But she hadn’t expected Xia Xindong to ask Gu Huai’an, "Are you Gu Huai’an from Dragon Aviation?"

Gu Huai’an nodded: "That’s me!"

"You’re at the top of the list for the underground laboratory, and Shangguan Heng once said that this place can’t offer you the best equipment and conditions. If he could get his hands on you, in ten years’ time, you might be able to sit in a spaceship and travel through space."

Gu Huai’an laughed: "If he wishes to travel through space, I can arrange for him to leave early!"

Song Yunuan giggled.

[Little brother, from the time I’ve known you until now, today you’re the handsomest!]

Gu Huai’an straightened up, a hint of a smile on his lips.

A scene that was initially filled with tears and excitement suddenly held back Xia Guilan’s tears.

She couldn’t quite describe her feelings.

It seemed different from what she had imagined.

Song Yunuan drove the horse-drawn cart into Erdao River Village with a clatter.

She stopped right at the entrance of the Youth Education Spot.

Standing at the gate with a whip in hand, Song Yunuan cheerfully waved to Sun Zhiqing, who got so scared that he leaped backward several steps.

Just about to say something, he saw several people getting off the carriage.

Song Liang recognized him.

He had met Gu Huai’an once before.

But he didn’t know who the other one was.

Then he heard Song Yunuan shouting with her neck stretched out, "Grandma, Grandma, come out and see who’s come back."

Perhaps it is a mother’s intuition.

Since morning, Zhu Feng’s heart had been restless.

She couldn’t pinpoint why she felt this way.

Unable to stand still or sit down, she busied herself in the back garden.

She even plucked the sprouting grasses clean.

Xia Xinshan knew what was going on, but he couldn’t say it; he just kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the village entrance.

Then he heard the sound of a horse-drawn cart and hurried to the back garden to bring his mother over.

Just in time to hear Song Yunuan calling out for her grandmother.

Xia Xindong took step by step, walking forward.

Then Xia Guilan also followed, step by step, into the courtyard.

Zhu Feng stared blankly at Xia Xindong as he walked in.

Her eyes widened and mouth open, her heartbeat seemed to stop.

Xia Xindong stepped forward.

He knelt slowly in front of Zhu Feng, eyes brimming with tears, his voice hoarse, "Mom, I’m back!"

Zhu Feng’s mind went blank.

But the next moment, she embraced Xia Xindong, who knelt before her, crying heartrendingly, "Dongdong, oh my Dongdong..."

Xia Guilan hugged Zhu Feng and joined in the loud weeping. At that moment, Xia Guilan felt that this was how the scene should be.

Her voice filled with self-reproach as she choked up, "Dongdong, it’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been so playful that day, that evil woman wouldn’t have taken you away, and we wouldn’t have been forcibly separated for thirty years... Do you know how much suffering our mom went through to find you..."

Sun Zhiqing didn’t know anything about it.

But he understood the scene in front of him.

So, Grandma Xia had lost her youngest son and now had found him again?

Song Yunuan said to Song Liang, "Dad, I’m going back to tell Grandpa and Grandma, and I need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat; we’re having a feast tonight." Then she looked at Gu Huai’an, "Brother Huai’an, are you in a hurry to leave?"

Gu Huai’an shook his head, "No rush."

Song Yunuan glanced around and asked, "What about the people who protect you?"

Gu Huai’an raised his eyebrows and replied, "It’s very safe here, no need for protection."

Chu Zizhou also scurried over.

He too had witnessed the touching scene and wiped away a tear.

He nudged Gu Huai’an, "How can you be so calm? That’s not a good look."

Gu Huai’an patted his shoulder and said, "I was thinking of keeping it from you, but I felt that wasn’t right; there will be someone else in the car tomorrow morning, not just your mom and your sister."

Chu Zizhou glared, his eyes wary, "Who is it?"

"Xiaomin, who broke up with Shaomin. She says she’s here to clear her mind and hopes you’ll show her a good time for a few days."

Chu Zizhou instantly became agitated, "No, where did you hear that from?"

Gu Huai’an glanced at him, silent.

Chu Zizhou continued, "Xiaomin and Shaomin have been at this for months, isn’t it over yet? Besides, why should I take her out? Shouldn’t Shaomin be the one to do that?"

He grabbed Gu Huai’an by the arm, "Huai’an, you must help me this time."

"How can I help you?" Gu Huai’an asked, puzzled.

Chu Zizhou: ...

Just then, Song Yunuan ran over and said, "I’m going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat and ride the cart; Brother Huai’an, will you come?"

Gu Huai’an immediately said, "Yes!" Then, leaving Chu Zizhou unceremoniously behind, he walked alongside Song Yunuan, asking warmly, "Can I learn how to drive the cart with you?"

Chu Zizhou stamped his foot in frustration.
