Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 372 The Surprise of Reunion
This is because the so-called household contract responsibility system is a new system.

It's quite difficult for people to accept new things all at once.

Moreover, they contracted for so many years at once.

If you can make some money every year, that's fine. But if you can't make money, or even lose money, then you're stuck with nothing.

As for the Gu family...

Now, only Gu Yunnan and his wife remain at home.

Gu Yunnan admitted that he was not that quick-witted, nor that good at studying, and could not be like his eldest and third brothers.

The only thing he's good at is farming.

But he also knew that it would be difficult to provide a better life for his parents, wife and children solely through farming.

But now, the emergence of the household contract responsibility system has given him hope.

"Father and Mother, the country is now developing in all aspects and is trying every means to improve the national economy."

"I think that since the household contract responsibility system was proposed by the state, the state will definitely support it strongly."

"I think this is a very promising field."

“I plan to contract our barren mountain and the field at the foot of the mountain.”

Old Man Gu puffed on his pipe. “Second son, I think this is a good idea, but do you have enough money? It’s not cheap to contract that barren mountain. After all, it’s a big mountain, and once you contract it, it’s for at least 10 years.”

Gu Yunnan scratched the back of his head. "It's not quite enough, but it's okay. Didn't I say we could get a loan from the bank? So I'm planning to..."

“Hey, how can we go to the bank for a loan?” Old Man Gu immediately objected.

The older generation is generally not very comfortable or trusting of borrowing money from banks.

"Second brother, how much money do you still owe?"

"Old woman, go and get our savings book. See if it's enough to help our second son a little."

“Okay.” Yao Chunhua didn’t hesitate at all.

After all, the second child is also her child.

Since the child wants to achieve something, no matter what it is, as parents, we should still support them.

As for money...

Yao Chunhua didn't value it much.

This is something you can't take with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die.

It's better to be able to help the children now than to let them keep holding on to their hands forever.

Gu Yunnan and Su Miao were taken aback when they heard this.

The couple's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Mother, you don't need to take it."

"Dad, Miao Miao and I came here today just to discuss the contracting matter with you, we didn't mean anything else..." Gu Yunnan hurriedly explained.

They really didn't mean anything by it.

They also knew that it wasn't easy for the elderly couple to save money.

They would love to give their parents more money for their retirement, so how could they possibly want their money back?

They never considered taking or borrowing it.

So, the couple's initial thought was to borrow money from the bank.

"Second brother, your parents still have some money. Your parents treat all four of you brothers and sisters the same."

"Whichever one of you can help, how could your parents not help?"

"Old woman, go get it."

"No, Father and Mother, it's really not necessary."

It looked like the two sides were about to start arguing.

Two childish voices suddenly rang out.

"Grandpa, Grandma~"

"Uncle, Aunt~"

Both Old Man Gu and his wife, as well as Gu Yunnan and Su Miao, were stunned for a moment.

Old Man Gu and Yao Chunhua exchanged a glance. The voice was so childish, it was a child's voice.

The only children who call them grandpa and grandma are...

Gu Yunnan and his wife also thought that the only people who could call them uncle and aunt were their younger sister's children.

So, what's outside...

So when they turned around, they saw Gu Jianing's family coming in with Shi Tou, Zhuang Zhuang, and the others.

The moment Old Man Gu and Yao Chunhua saw Gu Jianing, their eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Father, Mother, I'm back," Gu Jianing said, her eyes red with tears.

Yao Chunhua's tears fell like a burst dam in an instant. She ran over and hugged Gu Jianing tightly.

"My daughter, my daughter, you're finally back."

Old Man Gu rushed over, wanting to hold his daughter, but she was being held by her mother, so he couldn't.

All I could do was stand by and wipe away my tears.

Gu Yunnan walked over, looked at his younger sister, then at Xingxing and Yueyue, and then at Sheng Zexi, who was holding a small dumpling.

"You're back?" Gu Yunnan's voice was choked with emotion.

Sheng Zexi nodded. "Yes, I'm back."

"This must be Tuantuan." Gu Yunnan went over and saw the baby, who was about six months old, in Sheng Zexi's arms.

The little boy blinked his bright, big eyes, and he would look back at whoever looked at him.

Seeing Gu Yunnan looking at him, he smiled.

Gu Yunnan felt his heart melt. "This child is so good."

That's true, how could his sister's child be bad?

"Grandpa, Grandma~"

Over here, Yao Chunhua and Grandpa Gu didn't remember their grandson and granddaughter until they had finished hugging and kissing their daughter.

He quickly hugged them all in his arms.

"Xingxing, Yueyue, do you miss your grandpa and grandma?"

"I want to, I really, really want to."

"Yes, Grandpa and Grandma miss you too."

"Father, Mother, don't stand, come inside and sit down. Little sister, brother-in-law and the others must be tired from their long journey," Su Miao said warmly.

They took some malted milk powder, dissolved it in water, and brought it over.

Su Miao was willing to spend whatever she could to entertain her sister-in-law's family.

After all, her sister-in-law had saved her life.

"Yes, yes, come in quickly." Yao Chunhua hurriedly pulled Gu Jianing's hand and led her inside.

Old Man Gu also came in, holding Xingxing's and Yueyue's hands.

Gu Yunnan then went to help carry the luggage.

Upon entering the hall, Yao Chunhua noticed the six-month-old baby in Sheng Zexi's arms.

"This must be Tuantuan. Sigh, when you gave birth to Tuantuan, no one took care of you. I should have been there then."

Yao Chunhua recalled the time when she learned about the strong typhoon hitting Huansha Island and couldn't contact her daughter. She was really worried day and night, fearing that something had happened.

Gu Jianing quickly hugged her mother, resting her head against her mother's, and said, "Mother, don't worry, those things are all in the past. We are all doing well, safe and sound, and healthy."

Old Man Gu hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, my daughter is right. The most important thing is to be safe and sound and have everything go smoothly."

Yao Chunhua also held Tuantuan, making the little guy giggle continuously.

Then, Gu Yunnan brought up the topic of the household contract responsibility system.

He also mentioned his plan to lease barren mountains and some farmland.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jianing immediately raised her hand in approval, "Sure, Second Brother, you can take on the contract. I'll give you whatever money you need."

"I think this is a fantastic opportunity that we can't miss."

"We can plant fruit trees, medicinal herbs, or raise livestock on the barren mountains—anything is fine. As for the farmland, I think we can raise fish in rice paddies!"
