Sometimes ignoring is the most hurtful way.

The two returned to the Gu family, looked at the open door of the house, and walked into the courtyard with their feet.

In the courtyard, his cousin Gu Jiajie sat on his grandfather's recliner, and Gu Minmin squatted in front of a boy who was younger and thinner than her, not knowing what he was saying.

A crying sound came from the house, the voice of a woman, strange but somewhat familiar.

"Dad, we really can't live our lives anymore. My child's father and I used to be able to have enough food in the factory. Now we don't even have to do it in the factory, and the porridge soup can be seen. Xiaolei has been so thin these days. We can't afford anything with high prices this year..."

Listening to the crying sounds coming from the house, Gu Jin stopped, and the little boy behind him also stopped moving forward.

"Xiao Jin!"

Gu Jiajie saw her first sight.

He stood up from the recliner and ran straight for Gu Jin and An Mingji.

Looking at the cousin who was running towards him, Gu Jin smiled at him, raised his chin in the direction where Gu Minmin was, and asked, "Who is this little boy? He looks familiar."

Gu Jiajie looked along her gaze and sighed: "This is the child of my sister-in-law, Xia Jinlei, our cousin. This kid rarely comes back on weekdays."

My sister-in-law, Gu Qiuzhen, is the youngest daughter of Mr. Gu. She married Xia Hongguo in the county town. The couple worked in a toy factory and rarely came back during daily life except during festivals.

Even if I come back, I won’t stay for long and I will leave in a hurry.

Gu Jin rarely saw this sister-in-law, but I knew from the bottom of my memory that this was a cheerful woman.

Gu Minmin didn't know when he led Xia Jinlei and stood beside Gu Jin.

The little boy looked similar to An Mingji, but he was thinner than the little boy, and he looked a little malnourished.

Looking at the other party's shiny eyes, Gu Jin took out a bottle of calcium milk from the suitcase and stuffed a whole pack of biscuits into his arms.

“Eat.”

Listening to the words from the house before and the current situation, Gu Jin could understand that his sister-in-law and her family were not living well.

Prices are not under control now. It is a time when food is short and disasters are everywhere. Any food is sold at a sky-high price.

Looking down at the calcium milk and biscuits stuffed into her arms, Xia Jinlei swallowed, but did not move at all.

He looked up at Gu Jin and shouted crisply: "Cousin Jin."

"So well-behaved."

Gu Jin smiled and touched his head.

This scene felt very dazzling in An Mingji's eyes.

He looked at Xia Jinlei with vigilance and repulsion.

Gu Jin quickly withdrew his hand and said to Gu Jiajie with his suitcase: "I'll put the things in the house first, and then go to see my grandfather later."

"Then I'll tell them first?"

"OK."

Gu Jin and An Mingji returned to the east wing, opened the suitcase, and took out two small panda cigarettes, a few bottles of wine, candy biscuits, white rabbit milk candies, as well as the floral cloth I bought, two cans of balsamic acid, etc.

These are bought for family members.

Gu Jin put all the non-fragrant ones into a bag and handed them to An Mingji: "You take the things to the front hall first, and I'll go there later."

An Mingji nodded and turned around and left with his stuff.

After he left the room, Gu Jin took out some of the remaining white flour, rice, fruits and vegetables in the space and piled them on the floor of the room.
