Lin Yunchu stopped under a large archway.
The three characters "Yanweikou" are written on the archway.
This is where the original owner's biological parents lived.
There are many tall white magnolia trees growing on both sides of the archway, which are shaded by greenery and exude a light fragrance.
The road was paved with blue bricks, not as muddy as she imagined.
There is farmland on both sides of the road.
This is a very unique seaside commune.
It is adjacent to the sea on the outside, and there are farmlands inside. The farmland is flat and neat, and the rice flowers are fragrant.
The sea breeze blew slightly, and Lin Yunchu had a feeling that this place was not bad.
"Fellow, may I ask, where is the Gu family in the commune?"
After searching for a while on the road, Lin Yunchu couldn't find his way home, so he simply asked the people working on the roadside.
The man looked at her blankly and said, "Are you the daughter of the Gu family?"
"..." Lin Yunchu was a little surprised. She really didn't say anything.
This person has obviously never seen her before, so why is it so amazing that he can guess it right away?
"Oh, they are so similar. You and your mother are so similar when they were young, but your mother was not as beautiful as you when she was young. Shh, don't tell your mother!"
The uncle who spoke was in his forties. His face was swarthy from being blown by the sea breeze for a long time. When he smiled, his face was full of wrinkles. He was very humorous.
His familiar words made her feel more friendly.
It also gave her the feeling that she was originally from this place.
"Oh, the old Gu family's daughter is back. What else should I do? I'll take you to your mother!"
The uncle wiped his hands on his clothes, quickly climbed up to the edge of the field, held up his high trouser legs, and took her home directly without wearing any shoes.
"Wu Weiyin, your daughter is back!"
The uncle stopped under an adobe yard and roared toward the yard.
"Why!"
A middle-aged woman walked out of the yard. She wore a scarf on her head. She had good features, a high nose, and very beautiful eyes. Although her face had some fine lines, it was also very firm and round, giving people a very gentle feeling. , very tough feeling.
When Lin Yunchu saw the woman clearly, he was stunned.
This person does look very much like her.
No wonder when she walks on this street, people here recognize her at a glance.
She was almost fifty years old and had such a temperament. She could not imagine how graceful and dazzling she was when she was young.
"Yunchu?"
"It's really Yunchu!"
"My Yun Chu is back."
"I'm mom, my name is Wu Weiyin. Come, mom will take you home."
Wu Weiyin always had a smile on her face, but when she took Lin Yunchu's hand, tears filled her eyes as she spoke.
She knew that her biological daughter was living a very good life in the city, not bad at all.
So she kept laughing.
But when it came to skin-to-skin contact with her child, she couldn't bear it any longer.
This was a child she had only given birth to after ten months of pregnancy. She could hold her and grow up from the beginning.
This was the second time Lin Yun had such close contact with someone since he first entered the book.
The first time was with the Blackhawks.
The second time was Wu Weiyin.
Wang Xiujun raised her, but after she came here, he never got close to her.
Before she entered the book, she had no father or mother, and had no idea what it felt like to be held by her mother's hand.
Wu Weiyin's hands were covered with calluses, thick and a bit irritating. Her hands were obviously very thick, but she could feel the softness, that solid, soft, and reliable feeling.
After seeing her, she was surprised and excited, but more cautious and at a loss.

"Crackling, crackling..."
When Wu Weiyin pulled Lin Yunchu into the house, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded in the yard.
Then she was brought to the main room by an old elder.
"Yunchu, you are a child of the Gu family. This is your first time home. Come and pay homage to the ancestors of the Gu family."
In front of the shrine, incense smoke curled up and red candles burned brightly.
Lin Yunchu had never seen such a ceremony.
But he followed his elders and bowed obediently in front of the shrine in the main room.
The elder nodded, then held a big rooster in his left hand and a kitchen knife in his right hand.
He muttered towards the shrine, "The ancestors of the Gu family are here, this is the child of your Gu family. She has been away for eighteen years, and she came back today. Her name is Yun Chu. I offer you a rooster. You must bless her with good health, safety and good wind." Go with the flow.”
After chanting, the elder wiped the chicken's neck with a knife.
Most of the chicken blood is put into the bowl, and a small part is smeared on the shrine.
She had only seen these rituals in books and on TV. When she saw them, she felt that these rituals had no meaning.
When she was in this kind of ceremony, the only thing she felt was grandness.
Very solemn and formal.
Looking at the red candlelight and the rising smoke, the blood is connected like this.
Lin Yunchu was suddenly moved.
*
"This sister is so beautiful."
"Big eyes, fair face. Her clothes look good too, and her smile looks good too."
Many children gathered around the yard, like a flock of birds. Everyone looked at her with clear eyes, curious and full of inquiry.
It was the first time that Lin Yunchu was surrounded by a group of children. Although the chattering was very noisy, she could feel their enthusiasm for her.
"Sister, I'll treat you to some sweets."
Lin Yunchu dug out the things Li's mother had given her from the luggage bag she had brought, grabbed several handfuls of White Rabbit toffee, and gave one to each of the children present.
The children's eyes lit up instantly.
Wow!
White Rabbit Milk Candy!
Last time someone in the commune next door had a birthday, and when the candies were placed on the table, some White Rabbit toffees were put on the table. The quantity was very small. Some people from the commune went to drink, and the children who grabbed the White Rabbit toffee kept showing off to them.
"Look, this is the white rabbit toffee. The rabbit with long ears, so cute."
"Wow, this toffee is white, fragrant, so sweet and delicious."
Everyone was so greedy that they all wanted to take a bite.
It turned out that the boy was so bad that he ran away immediately after licking it in front of them.
This made them even more greedy.
When I went back to my parents to buy White Rabbit milk candies, the adults would sell them directly, "White Rabbit milk candies, White Rabbit milk candies, little bastards, don't you know how expensive this candy is? We can't afford to eat, but you still want to eat candy" !”
The White Rabbit toffee that their parents were reluctant to part with, they actually ate it at the Gu family.
This sister is so generous. After giving them White Rabbit toffee, she also gave each of them a loose small ear candy, which is a candy only available during the Chinese New Year.
Wu Weiyin stood watching Lin Yunchu handing out candies, her eyes moistened again. Her daughter was so enthusiastic about the children in their brigade, so she shouldn't hate their family, right?
Luo Feifei, the eldest sister-in-law of the Gu family, and Gu Qiuhong, the third sister-in-law, stood aside with their brows furrowed.
Ke Ke was indeed right. Their sister-in-law was very loose-minded and cared about the family at all.
There are so many White Rabbit candies and candies, they are scattered out as soon as they are told.
Doesn't she know that there are several nephews in the family?
Aren't you going to leave some for your nephews at home?
"Yunchu, mom, let me introduce you. You have three brothers. Your eldest brother is Gu Jiacheng. He happens to be at sea these days. This is your eldest sister-in-law."
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Lin Yunchu looked at Luo Feifei, who was short and fat, about thirty years old, and greeted her politely.
When Luo Feifei entered, she noticed her indifference.
"Your second brother's name is Gu Jiashi. He is a soldier in the army. He just came back yesterday. He hasn't gotten married yet."
"You three, Gu Jiapeng, just got married. This is your third sister-in-law."
"Hello, third sister-in-law." Lin Yunchu smiled and greeted Gu Qiuhong lightly.
Her third sister-in-law, like her elder sister-in-law, did not welcome her.
She will be indifferent to people who don't welcome her.
"Hey, where is your second brother? Why doesn't this guy come out at such an important time?"
Wu Weiyin shouted into the room, "Harvest! Where are you?"
Gu Jiashi walked out of the kitchen, and when he was about to turn the corner, he wiped his hair with water, even though he had a crew cut, then straightened his clothes and walked out in stride.
He wanted to walk loudly and handsomely, but he didn't look at the small bench on the ground.
"Clang." There was a sound and he almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, I have been in the army and am very responsive.
The moment he tripped, he quickly adjusted his posture and reversed his movements.
"..." Lin Yunchu, her second brother, is a bit stinky.
Looking again, she was stunned.
Her second best brother turned out to be the man who had been staring at her on the train!
What fate is this?
He did this deliberately. Did he recognize her on the train?
Gu Jiashi wiped his nose mentally and felt that he was quite embarrassed. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Girl, is it you?"
Lin Yunchu blinked his eyes and said, "You still want to act?"
"..." Gu Jiashi's expression froze in surprise, and he didn't know how to answer the question. His sister was smarter than he thought.
Mai's face turned red.
This time it was Lin Yunchu's turn to be surprised. Is her second brother, a big man, so shy?
"Your second brother said that he saw you on the train, but he didn't dare to recognize you. Although he didn't dare to recognize you, he was not careless at all when he came back. Let us prepare all kinds of things to welcome you in advance."
Wu Weiyin explained to Lin Yunchu with a smile.
"I'm going to cook first." Gu Jiashi quickly slipped away.
Lin Yunchu couldn't help laughing.
Then Wu Weiyin took her into her room.
"There aren't many rooms at home. Can you sleep in a room with me first?"
"Can."
Wu Weiyin's room was not very big, with a bed and no other furniture except for two cabinets for food, but fortunately it was very clean and tidy.
Lin Yunchu handed over all the things he brought from Yue City to her.
"..." Wu Weiyin was surprised and moved. Not only did this child not dislike their family, she also brought them so many gifts.
Gu Jiashi was busy in the kitchen alone, and it didn't take long to cook a very sumptuous meal.
Not to mention anything else, that bowl of chicken will make people drool.
Lin Yunchu sat down and had a delicious meal.
After eating, Wu Weiyin asked her to take a good rest.
Lin Yunchu obeyed and did as she was told. Although it was quite lively when she entered the house, she was actually very unfamiliar with everyone in the house.
After staying in the house for a while, a group of chirping sounds suddenly came from outside.
"I heard that my sister-in-law is back, so I came over quickly to take a look."
"Aunt Wu, where is my sister-in-law?"
The two sisters-in-law of the Pei family asked with a smile.
Wu Weiyin was confused and walked out and asked, "What's going on? How can we have your sister-in-law?"
"Aunt Wu, don't you know? Your girl took the initiative to marry my third brother. My mother took your information to the army, and the army approved it. They have already obtained a marriage certificate."
"..."
"Anyway, they are all girls from the Gu family. Our family doesn't choose. If it works, so can this girl who just came back!"
Wu Weiyin was shocked, "..."
Lin Yunchu understood clearly, she had been tricked!
