Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 945: Chapter 945: Finally Returning Home

Meanwhile, the old couple of the Gu family secretly returned to the country after several twists and turns from the border.

The old couple knew their current situation well, and upon learning they could return to the country, their emotions were extremely overwhelmed.

The moment they stepped onto their homeland, the tears of the two elderly people streamed down uncontrollably; they had finally returned to the homeland they had longed for day and night, and were finally able to return to their roots.

They first temporarily settled in a village at the border and later joined Zhang Yueshan, who went there to meet them. After resting for a few days, they were ready to head back.

These days, Zhang Yueshan and they quickly became familiar with each other. With both sides harboring an urgent eagerness, they didn’t linger long and soon boarded a train.

Even while traveling by train, they didn’t dare to be careless and chose a small, unnamed station for transferring between trains.

This was a decision made after Han Jingchen and Zhang Yueshan had been discussing for a long time.

The old couple knew they would first live in East Province with Zhang Yueshan and did not resist this.

They understood that as long as they reached East Province, their daughter’s family would definitely find a way to meet them, especially since East Province was the stronghold of the Gu family.

Being able to return to the homeland meant that even if an unexpected incident occurred, they could rest in peace.

Besides, returning to East Province felt like coming home, and they felt very at ease there.

Along the way, under Zhang Yueshan’s care, the elderly were not subjected to any suffering. Perhaps due to a change in their mindset compared to when they left, they were very calm, enjoying the journey, and looking forward to it.

Xinyan arrived in Malan Town on the third morning.

When she reached the gate of the Zhang Family with her belongings, she saw Granny Zhang tidying up the courtyard.

Before she could greet anyone, Grandma Su from next door called out first, "Xinyan girl, you’re back?"

Xinyan was startled by the shout, turned around, and responded, "Grandma Su, it’s me, I’m back."

Grandma Su turned her head towards the yard, and at this moment Granny Zhang also saw Xinyan, "Yanyan."

She dropped the broom in her hand and quickly walked out.

Xinyan, a bit worried, hurriedly put down the things she was carrying and went up to meet her, "Please slow down."

Granny Zhang reached out to hug Xinyan, patting her back, "I told you if you’re busy, you don’t need to come, but you just won’t listen."

Xinyan hugged her back, "I missed you."

Upon hearing this, both of them started crying.

Grandma Su followed them in, laughing, "Aunt Zhang, your Yanyan is truly worthwhile to dote on, you should just wait to enjoy life."

After a good while, they finally calmed down, and the things Xinyan had left at the gate were brought inside by neighbors who had come over after hearing the commotion.

Xinyan busied herself making tea for everyone and brought out the snacks she had brought, "These are pastries from Beijing, everyone try them."

Then she took out various candies, "And these newly released candies, everyone try them later."

Someone asked with a smile, "Xinyan, are you here to take Granny Zhang back with you?"

Xinyan replied with a smile, "I do want to take her away."

Originally, they had discussed returning to the capital after the autumn harvest, and Uncle Zhang’s return couldn’t be revealed now, so she just responded this way.

Upon hearing she really came to take someone, someone joked, "Aunt Zhang, once you leave, we’ll have no one to chat with."

Granny Zhang beamed, "I’ll leave the keys to the gate with you all, so you can help air out the house."

Someone teased, "Aren’t you afraid we will empty your house?"

Granny Zhang looked at the person, "I know the kind of people you all are, I can trust you completely."

Laughter erupted in the yard.

Once the chatting crowd left, Xinyan cleaned the yard again, closed the gate, and brought Granny Zhang into the house, "Granny Zhang, Uncle Shanzi will be back soon."

Previously, Han Jingchen had mentioned it, and Granny Zhang had prepared herself mentally, but now that the day had truly come, she couldn’t hold back and covered her mouth as she cried, "Heaven does have eyes."

Xinyan also felt deeply moved, tears falling uncontrollably, "Granny Zhang, we should be happy, we can’t cry anymore, we can’t show any flaws yet."

Granny Zhang took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her tears, "You’re right, I can’t let anyone notice anything is wrong, I should be happy."
