Chapter 173 They are not welcome home 2
They discovered a cruel fact from the various reactions of their family members.
The family does not welcome them home!
Gu Xiangwen has always known that there are many brothers and sisters in the family, and his parents have to bear the expenses of eight children. They are exhausted and out of breath, and they are old and haggard.
So when he wanted to go to the countryside, he immediately chose to sign up to leave the family where it was difficult to move around and reduce the burden on the family.
But in his heart, he has always been attached to this poor family and the relationship between his parents, brothers and sisters.
He originally thought that his parents and siblings would be happy when he finally made it back to the city after walking for so long. They would definitely cook him a delicious meal and celebrate his return warmly.
But now he realizes that he was wrong!
They did not welcome him back, and were even more afraid that he would rob them of the little living space they had left.
Even if Gu Xiangwen didn't come back to compete with them for this little living space, he would even bring them a lot of benefits.
However, they didn't even give him a chance to get to know him, and they gave him an ugly look when he entered.
Gu Xiangwen really found it ridiculous and sad.
They live in the city, do they only have this little vision? Have the poverty and difficulties at home caused them to lose even their family ties?
Gu Xiangwen originally wanted to go home and stay for a week.
But now looking at this small house of tens of square meters, there are ten people from three generations, old, middle and young, and it seems that they can't even squeeze in one more person. How can he live in it?
In the end, Gu's father and Gu's mother hurriedly cleared the place for Gu Xiangwen to sit.
After Gu Xiangwen sat down, Gu's mother began to complain to him without even asking him about his situation.
"Third brother, look at the situation in our family now. Your father is the only one who works full-time. Your eldest brother and sister-in-law and I are all doing part-time jobs, doing some handicrafts. Your seventh brother and eighth sister are still studying. Our family is My stomach is not full, what are you doing here now?"
His eldest brother Gu Xiangqian was also there and said: "Yes, third brother, you might as well stay in the country like the fourth and fifth brothers and still have enough to eat."
Gu Xiangwen's fourth and fifth brothers were also forced to choose to go to the countryside when they could not find jobs.
Gu Xiangwen had been insisting on returning to the city in the countryside, and he finally waited for the opportunity to return to the city.
But after his fourth brother Gu Xiangxue went to the countryside, he didn't hold on and married the daughter of the local village party secretary. They gave birth to a daughter earlier this year.
These fourth brothers all wrote to him and told him.
The fifth brother Gu Xiangdong also went to the countryside and wrote several letters to him. He still wanted to return to the city, but he had no one to talk to, so he stayed up day by day, waiting for the opportunity to return to the city.
Gu Xiangwen could deeply feel the confusion and despair in his fifth brother's letter.
Looking at his second brother now, apart from his eldest sister, he is considered the eldest son. He also stayed in the city. With the help of his parents, he married a wife and gave birth to three more sons.
The small house assigned to his father seemed to be his, and he seemed to be afraid that his younger brother would come back to rob it. His eyes were full of vigilance and caution.
Gu Xiangwen didn't want to argue with him.
But his eldest brother and his parents didn't welcome him back. When they saw him coming back, his parents didn't say a word of concern, so they started to complain and asked him why he came back?
Gu Xiangwen really didnt know what to say to them.
The enthusiasm before returning home was instantly hurt by their indifference and ruthlessness.
Since they didn't want him to stay, Gu Xiangwen didn't bother to say any more.
He directly picked up his handbag and took out the bag of apples that Jun Ning asked them to bring back, as well as two kilograms of pork and a bag of pastries. He said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, these are the apples, pork and cakes I brought back for you. You can try them."
The Gu family's eyes lit up when they saw the big bag of big red apples, the two kilograms of pork, and the bag of pastries that Gu Xiangwen took out, and they stared at the apples, pork, and pastries.
Gu Xiangwen looked at their performance, but his heart became colder and colder.
It is not as attractive as the apple pork pastry.
Gu Xiangwen continued to say to them, "In addition, I returned to the city because I found a job. However, the job is over there in Yucheng, and there are dormitories to live in. I usually don't have time to come back. Don't worry, I will go to Xiao Tao's to borrow it tonight." Stay one night and Ill go back to work early tomorrow morning.
After Gu Xiangwen finished speaking, he picked up his bag, stood up, and walked towards his father Xiao Tao's home.
The Gu family couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they saw Gu Xiangwen leaving immediately.
The youngest eighth sister, Gu Xiangqing, quickly chased after her, "Third brother, third brother, wait, wait..."
Gu Xiangwen thought that Bamei was trying to keep him, so he stopped.
In the end, his eighth sister just smiled and asked: "Third brother, do you have any money? Can you give me some?"
Looking at the thin face with a ghostly smile in front of him, Gu Xiangwen sighed softly in his heart and took out two dollars from his pocket and gave it to her, "Here, here you go, that's all."
Gu Xiangqing didn't expect to be able to get money from her third brother, so she couldn't help but smile happily: "Thank you, third brother."
Gu Xiangwen thought about how this eighth sister was still a little girl before he went to the countryside, but now she has grown into a slim girl.
When I was in the countryside, I often felt that my days were like years, and I couldnt look forward to them coming to an end.
But looking back on the past, I feel that time is like running water and it flies by so fast.
And the relationship between him and his parents, brothers and sisters, because of the nine years of separation in the countryside, has become as unfamiliar and uncomfortable as a stranger. He has really become what people say, the most familiar stranger. .
Gu Xiangqing saw that the third brother's expression was full of sorrow and sadness, as if he didn't know what he was thinking. Her heart tightened, and she asked him cautiously, "Third brother, will you come back next week?"
Gu Xiangwen smiled and said, "I'm very busy at work, so I won't be coming back. I'll come back when I have time."
Gu Xiangqing asked again: "Brother, where is your unit? If we are free, can we go find you?"
Gu Xiangwen shook his head, "No, our unit is a confidential unit, you can't go to me."
Gu Xiangqing frowned, "Then if something happens at home, how can we find you?"
Gu Xiangwen said with a self-deprecating smile: "I haven't been at home for the past nine years, hasn't my family been the same?"
Gu Xiangqing looked at him and said, "It was the same before, but now that you are back, it's different."
Gu Xiangwen sneered lightly, "If there's anything different, you can just pretend that I'm still in the country and haven't come back."
After saying that, he didn't want to talk to this sister anymore. What she meant was that since he was back, he had to shoulder certain responsibilities and obligations at home.
