As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu began to pack their luggage and prepare to go home. The distance between the two cities was more than 400 kilometers. Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu decided to drive back by themselves.

Just after dawn, Gu Zining was pulled out of the bed by Li Ningyu, and then washed and changed. Gu Zining didn't really wake up until the car drove out of the community. In fact, this should be the first time that Gu Xiaomeng took Gu Zining back to his hometown. Come and see them.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaomeng frowned, she should not be a qualified daughter, no matter in the previous life or in this life.

"what happened?"

Li Ningyu's hand covered Gu Xiaomeng's, and Gu Xiaomeng shook his head when he recovered, without saying anything.

Lao Gu has retired, but was rehired by the school as a visiting professor. He has two or three big lectures a week, and spends the rest of the time at home alone raising flowers and fish.

According to Lao Gu's location, Li Ningyu came to the staff dormitory where Lao Gu lived temporarily. Although it was called a dormitory, it also had three bedrooms and one living room. The space was spacious and sunny.

"Grandpa!"

Gu Zining opened the car door, jumped out of the car and ran towards Lao Gu. Lao Gu picked up Gu Zining and kissed Gu Zining's face several times. Ever since he had Gu Zining, all Gu Zining had been thinking about was this little guy.

Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng took out the things they brought to Lao Gu from the trunk, and they came to Lao Gu with the things.

"dad"

Li Ningyu said hello to Lao Gu, who nodded with a smile, led the two of them into the gate of the community, and took the elevator to the floor where his dormitory was located.

"You have been driving all morning, go to rest first, I will make you some lunch, the innermost room is yours."

As soon as he walked into the living room, Lao Gu started talking.

"We are not tired, I will help you."

Gu Xiaomeng took Li Ningyu's hand first, let Li Ningyu sit on the sofa to rest, and then went to the kitchen with Lao Gu.Old Gu looked at his precious daughter who was always talking to him, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Why did you remember to lay hands on me?"

Lao Gu looked at Gu Xiaomeng while taking out the ingredients from the refrigerator, wondering if his daughter had something to ask him?But after much deliberation, Gu Xiaomeng should have nothing to ask himself.

"Can someone help you?"

Gu Xiaomeng took the dishes in Lao Gu's hands and washed them under the faucet. Looking carefully, it was not difficult to find that Lao Gu's temples had gray hair.

"When did you cook for me since I was a child?"

Old Gu snorted coldly, looking at Gu Xiaomeng with somewhat dissatisfied eyes.

"Old Gu, come with me in City B? That way I can go home and have dinner with you anytime."

Gu Xiaomeng had the idea of ​​picking up Lao Gu from City B, but Lao Gu's chopping hand paused for a moment before returning to normal.

"It's good for me to stay here, and I can visit your mother from time to time."

Old Gu rejected Gu Xiaomeng's proposal. He is getting older and older, and he may become a burden on Gu Xiaomeng when he arrives in City B. He doesn't want that. Besides, his friends, students, and Gu Xiaomeng's mother's cemetery are all in this city. He couldn't bear to leave.

"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The three of you and I will visit your mother's grave and let her see her granddaughter."

Lao Gu lowered his head, but his eyes were red.He tried his best not to cry in front of his daughter, Gu Xiaomeng nodded.

Zi Ning pestered Lao Gu almost until he went to bed, asking Lao Gu to tell him about his archaeological experience and the stories behind some cultural relics. Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng stood on the balcony, each holding a cup of tea in their hands while blowing the wind. While enjoying the night view of the city.

"We have been married for so many years, and it is the first time to accompany you home. I'm sorry, I ignored it before."

Li Ningyu feels a little guilty, as a 'son-in-law', she should accompany Gu Xiaomeng home more to visit Lao Gu.

"Actually, I was also negligent. Over the years, Lao Gu would visit us whenever he had time. I forgot that as a daughter, I should spend more time taking my wife and children home to see him and accompany him."

Gu Xiaomeng turned her head and leaned against the railing of the balcony, looking at the happy faces of the old and the young in the living room.

"Then I will accompany you back once a month, or we can take Dad to City B."

Li Ningyu also turned around and looked at the living room, Gu Xiaomeng shook his head after hearing this.

"I mentioned it to Lao Gu, but he didn't agree. In fact, now that I think about it, it might be better for him to stay here. His old friends are all in this city. When you are bored, you can find them to catch fish and drink tea. Although the city is closer to us, he will be more lonely, right? More importantly, my mother is here."

Although she knew that Qian Tong didn't love Lao Gu, she didn't let Lao Gu know until she died. Moreover, Lao Gu really loved Qian Tong. After Qian Tong's death, Lao Gu has been alone for so many years.

The next day, Gu Xiaomeng, Li Ningyu and Lao Gu brought Zining to visit Qian Tong's grave. They saw Qian Duoduo in front of Qian Tong's cemetery. Tombstone dusted.

"Auntie..."

Gu Xiaomeng called Qian Tong, Qian Tong raised her head to see Lao Gu, and frowned, but she held back the anger in her heart, she didn't want to argue with Lao Gu in front of Qian Tong.

"Um"

Qian Tong responded, lowered his head and continued wiping until the entire tombstone was spotless.

"Sister, I'll come see you another day."

Qian Tong hugged the tombstone and said softly, as if what she hugged was not a cold tombstone, but Qian Tong.After Qian Duoduo left, Gu Xiaomeng and his group stepped forward.

This was the first time that Gu Xiaomeng took Li Ningyu and Gu Zining to see Qian Tong. Gu Xiaomeng put the chrysanthemum in his arms in front of Qian Tong's tombstone.

"Mom, I brought Sister Yu and Zining to see you."

"Zining, kneel down."

Li Ningyu said in a commanding tone, Zining didn't understand why he had to kneel, but he chose to be obedient and knelt in front of Qian Tong's tombstone.

"Kowtow to your grandma"

Li Ningyu ordered again, and Gu Zining kowtowed to the tombstone.

"Zining, get up!"

Old Gu pulled Gu Zining up distressedly, and Li Ningyu stepped forward and stood side by side with Gu Xiaomeng, bowing deeply to the tombstone.

"Mom, my name is Li Ningyu, and I am Xiaomeng's lover. Don't worry, I will take care of her for the rest of her life."

Li Ningyu and Gu Xiaomeng clasped their fingers together, and Li Ningyu's gaze was firm.

A group of people left the cemetery and went home to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.Old Gu bought mooncakes early, and waited for Gu Xiaomeng and the others to go home to celebrate the first true Mid-Autumn Festival.

At night, the four of them sat on the balcony to watch the moon and eat mooncakes. Gu Xiaomeng didn't like the sweet and greasy taste of mooncakes, so he took a symbolic bite and stuffed them into Li Ningyu's mouth.

The TV in the living room is showing the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. There are many festivals in China, but the only ones that really have the meaning of reunion are Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival.Compared to the old Gu's family reunion full of laughter, at this moment, Qian Duoduo looked a little lonely standing alone on the balcony of the old house looking at the moon.

"Sister, I really miss you..."

Qian Duoduo looked at the moon in the sky and muttered to himself with tears.
