Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 177 The Educated Youth on the Island 41

Two days later, Pei's father and mother came back exhausted.

When Pei's mother saw Gu Nuanyi's bulging belly, she put down her hand that was about to hug Gu Nuanyi: "You're only four months pregnant, how come you're so big? Have you been for regular prenatal checkups?"

Gu Nuanyi held Pei's mother's hand and gently placed it on her belly: "I go for prenatal checkups every month, and the doctor said the baby is healthy and developing well. The belly of twins is just bigger than that of a single baby."

"Thank you for your hard work. Why are you home alone? Where is Xiaocheng?"

"Acheng went to the Jingshi Army!"

Mother Pei hugged Gu Nuanyi with eyes full of heartache: "I have handed over all the work at the research institute. I will take care of you from now on!"

Pei's father has become accustomed to the fact that Pei's mother forgets his existence as soon as she sees her daughter-in-law.

I picked up my luggage and went into the house to clean up the room.

When Grandpa Pei heard that his son and daughter-in-law had returned, he stopped playing chess, dropped his chess pieces and was about to leave: "Old Qian, my son is back. I'll play chess with you another day!"

As soon as Grandpa Pei entered the door, he saw his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law hugging each other.

Grandpa Pei coughed lightly, and the two sisters, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, let go of each other's hands.

"Are you still leaving now that you're back?"

Mother Pei smiled and said, "The research institute has agreed that I will officially retire, but Brother Nan is not yet ready. He still has to work as a teacher at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University for a few years."

Father Pei nodded helplessly: "The Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University said they were in great need of teachers, so they just asked me to go there."

Grandpa Pei nodded: "If you can still do it, just work for a few more years!"

Pei Yucheng, who was training soldiers in the army, heard that his father and mother had returned.

After the training, I asked for leave from the commander and returned to the compound with the reward given by the commander.

Before I even entered the door, I heard Pei Yucheng shouting, "Mom, Nuannuan, I'm back!!!"

Having not seen her son for a long time, Mother Pei looked towards the door excitedly: "Oh, my son is back!!"

Mother Pei came to the door in two or three steps and warmly hugged her eldest son.

He even touched the big boy's head and said, "You've grown taller, so you're not as nice to touch as when you were a kid."

Pei Yucheng saved his head from Pei's mother: "Dad, Grandpa, I'm back!"

It was a rare occasion for the family to get together, Grandpa Pei was very happy and quickly said, "Mrs. Zhou, go buy some more vegetables!"

"Hey! I'll go right away!!"

Father Pei patted Pei Yucheng on the shoulder: "You look in good spirits! You have recovered!"

"Dad! I'm fine now!"

Pei Yucheng took out an envelope from his pocket: "It says there's a reward for me. Didn't mom say she wanted to go shopping with Nuannuan last time? I asked for some foreign exchange bills. Mom, take Nuannuan to the Friendship Store for a walk."

Mother Pei took the envelope and put it in Nuan Nuan's hand: "Okay, let's go shopping some other day!"

Grandpa Pei felt more energetic when he saw the whole family sitting together drinking tea and chatting.

The corners of my mouth never dropped, I was always smiling

When people get old, they just like to be lively.

Old Qian next door heard the laughter coming from the Pei family and felt itchy in his heart.

He hasn't seen his children for a long time.

The children at home are all busy, and except for the Chinese New Year, they have no time to come back to see him, the old man.

Old Qian looked at the yard outside and sighed: "Old man Pei's child is back. I wonder if he will come to play chess with me in the future..."

Grandpa Pei looked at the time and said, "Anan, go next door and invite Old Man Qian to come over for dinner! Old Man Qian has been accompanying me to kill time when you're not at home these years, so please invite him over to liven things up!!"

"Hey! I'll go right away!!"

Father Pei came to the next door and knocked on the door: "Is Uncle Qian home?"

Old Qian opened the door and immediately recognized the middle-aged man in front of him as the son of Old Pei next door: "You are Old Pei's son!"

"Hello, Uncle Qian! Dad asked me to invite you to have a meal next door!"

Old Qian waved his hand: "Why would I interfere with your family reunion dinner?"

"Uncle Qian, we, the younger generations, are unfilial and fail to accompany our elders. It's all thanks to you who often accompany my dad all these years!"

Old Qian sighed, "I accompany him just like he accompanies me! You youngsters have things to do, and we are old, so all we can do is try not to hold you back!!"

Seeing that Father Pei had not returned, Mother Pei also came over and happened to hear what Old Qian said.

"Uncle Qian, if it weren't for your generation's efforts, we wouldn't have such a stable life now!! Uncle Qian, the meal is ready, please do us a favor and have a meal with us, the unfilial younger generations!"

"Okay, as long as you don't mind me disturbing you! But don't say that again in the future! Old man Pei and I have never thought that you are unfilial!!"

Lao Qian followed Pei's father and mother to Pei's house

Looking at Grandpa Pei sitting on the sofa with a ruddy complexion and full of energy, I am really envious.

"Old man Pei, I'm here to join in the fun at your house today!"

Grandpa Pei waved his hand and said, "Xiao Cheng, go get a bottle of wine from under the bookshelf. I'm so happy that you're all back! Lao Qian, let's have a couple of drinks together today!"

On the other side, Mrs. Zhou quickly brought the dishes to the table, wiped her hands, came to Grandpa Pei and said, "Grandpa Pei, it's time to eat."

"Okay! Let's go eat!"

Pei Yucheng opened the wine and poured a glass for Grandpa Pei, Lao Qian and Father Pei.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Qian, Dad, I have to go back to the army for training tomorrow. I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

Grandpa Pei looked at the large table of people eating with him, and smiled until his eyes were only a slit: "Xiao Chen, sit down, it's okay! You can drink later sometimes."

Grandpa Pei was the first to pick up his chopsticks, and then everyone else started picking up their chopsticks.

Those who drink sit on one side, and those who don't drink sit on the other side.

Mrs. Zhou also prepared two servings of the dishes on the table.

Pei's mother and Pei Yucheng each picked up a duck leg for Gu Nuanyi

Grandpa Pei also shouted from the other side: "Xiao Nuan, come here, I'll give you the duck leg!!"

Gu Nuanyi blushed slightly: "Grandpa, I have some here too!"

"Haha! Come on, come on, what's wrong with eating one more? It's a blessing for our little Nuan to be able to eat!" Grandpa Pei was extremely excited today and insisted on giving the duck leg to Gu Nuanyi.

Gu Nuanyi smiled shyly and came to Grandpa Pei with the bowl in hand: "Thank you, Grandpa!"

During the time that Gu Nuanyi was in the Pei family, basically all the legs of any animal with legs belonged to Gu Nuanyi.

Gu Nuanyi looked at the three duck legs in the bowl. After eating these three duck legs, she really didn’t need to eat anything else.

This is such a sweet burden!!!

Gu Nuanyi leaned close to Pei's ear and whispered, "Mom, I can't finish these three duck legs!!"

"Then I'll help you share one." Mother Pei took one from Gu Nuanyi's bowl.

Pei Yucheng, who was sitting on the right, looked at Gu Nuanyi with eyes wide open, “Your man is sitting next to you!!!”

Gu Nuanyi noticed Pei Yucheng's gaze and put one in Pei Yucheng's bowl: "Acheng, I can't finish so much, can you help me too!!!"

Seeing that Gu Nuanyi also gave him one, Pei Yucheng smiled happily: "Okay!"

Mother Pei curled her lips: This eldest son is really useless... He even gets jealous of her...
