As Gu Nianshen's hometown was located in a remote area, there was no high-speed rail, so they could only take this express train.
Ding Hao felt a headache when he thought about the train ride that would take more than ten hours.
He sighed as he watched Gu Nianshen eat her buns.
This silly girl actually didn't bring anything with her when she went out. Forget about her luggage, she didn't even bring food.
He clearly looked like he was going to the execution ground.
He didn't even get to eat his last meal.
"Give me your ticket."
Gu Nian took out the train ticket from her pocket and handed it to Ding Hao without asking him why he wanted it.
"I'm going to the washroom."
Ding Hao informed Gu Nianshen about this before he walked through the train to find the train attendant. He then paid for the hard seat to be changed into a sleeping berth.
Fortunately, there were not many people on the bus, so they managed to get a ticket smoothly.
"Do you want some?"
Seeing Ding Hao return, Gu Nianshen handed the bun over.
"Let's go."
"Where to?"
"Sleeper."
"What? We have hard seats."
"Just follow me."
Ding Hao pulled Gu Nianshen to his bed.
……
"Aren't you going to sleep for a while? There's still a long time to go."
"Go to sleep. I'm not sleepy."
"I'm sleepy. Come and sleep with me."
Gu Nian was a little shy, but she still came over.
Ding Hao hugged Gu Nianshen. The girl who had said she was not going to sleep soon fell asleep.
Time flew by.
At around 9 pm, the train stopped and finally arrived at its destination.
Ding Hao felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart after the bumpy journey.
Gu Nianshen's hometown was in the countryside, which was a few hours 'drive away from the train station.
Ding Hao hailed a taxi and arrived at the city center of the prefecture-level city. He had a meal with Gu Nianshen before buying a change of clothes for each of them and staying at a nearby hotel for the night.
The next day, she slept until she woke up naturally.
After taking a shower, changing clothes, and eating, the two of them took a bumpy ride. Finally, they arrived at Gu Nian's hometown, Xi Village, near noon.
Ding Hao came empty-handed.
"Xiaonian is back."
"Hello, Auntie."
"This is your boyfriend, right? He's so handsome.”
Ding Hao chuckled. He really couldn't treat a person with good taste and foresight with a cold expression."Hello, Auntie."
Along the way, almost everyone who saw Gu Nian greeted her.
Finally, Gu Nianshen led them to her house.
There was a central room and a kitchen. The wind and rain made it look a little old.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Gu Nian called out.
"Niannian is back."
A hunchbacked man walked out of the house.
He was in his forties, but he looked like he was in his fifties. His hair was white, his skin was rough, and the wrinkles on his face were crisscrossed like tree bark.
When he saw Gu Nian, he grinned, revealing his yellow teeth.
"I was just about to eat…Who is he?”
Seeing Ding Hao, Father Gu's eyes were filled with doubt.
Without waiting for Gu Xiao's introduction, Ding Hao said,"Hello, Uncle. I'm Ding Hao, Gu Nian's classmate.”
"Oh, so you're my classmate. Come in quickly.”
Inside the house.
A woman was sitting in front of the table. She had a fierce expression and a mean look on her face. She should be Mrs. Gu. On the other side, there was a little boy in his teens. He looked a little similar to the woman. He should be Gu Nian's brother, Gu Sheng.
"Mom."
Gu Nian shouted with a fearful expression. It was far worse than seeing Father Gu kiss her just now.
"Yo, you came back just in time for dinner.”
Mrs. Gu said sarcastically.
She glanced at Ding Hao.”
"He's Xiaonian's classmate.”
"Did I ask you?"
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Nian Nian's classmate." Ding Hao smiled.”
"Niannian, you're calling me so intimately. What's your relationship? It's your first time visiting and you didn't even bring a gift. How did your family teach you?”
"Mom!" Gu Nian could not help but exclaim.
"What are you shouting for!"
"Did I say anything wrong?!" You wretched girl, you actually dare to shout at your mother, are you itching for a beating?”
Tsk tsk.
Ding Hao finally saw what it meant to have unruly people in poor mountains and bad rivers. The person in front of him was simply a cunning woman.
It had not been easy for Gu Xiao and Gu Nian to have survived until now.
He noticed that when Mrs. Gu said this, the little boy sitting beside her was watching as if he was watching a show.
"Auntie, aren't you afraid of ruining your son by saying that?" Ding Hao smiled.”
Mrs. Gu's expression changed. Ding Hao continued,"Children are insensible and like to talk like adults. If you talk to your daughter like this, he will treat you the same way when he grows up.”
He scolded two people in one sentence.
As for Mrs. Gu, as Gu Nianshen's younger brother, he did not even greet Gu Nianshen when he saw his sister.
"What do you mean? Are you cursing me?"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?" Mrs. Gu was furious. Get out!"
When Mrs. Gu was angry, the world would change.
Father Gu remained silent.
Gu Nian's body could not help but tremble.
" Auntie," Ding Hao said calmly," have you been feeling short of breath recently? Do you often sigh and want to take deep breaths? You don't have much appetite, and your mouth is bitter and your throat is dry?"”
"How did you know?" Mrs. Gu looked at Ding Hao in surprise.”
"To be honest, my ancestor was a doctor, so I know a lot about some illnesses.”
Mrs. Gu's attitude immediately changed."Then take a look. What illness do I have?”
"Auntie, look, Niannian and I have traveled a long way and are tired from the journey. We haven't had a bite of rice or a sip of water yet.”
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and serve Xiaonian and her classmate some rice." Mrs. Gu immediately berated Mr. Gu.”
"Sit, sit."
Ding Hao and Gu Nianshen sat around the table.
"That…" Mrs. Gu was salivating.
"Just call me Little Ding."
" Little Ding," Mrs. Gu said," Do you think my illness is easy to treat?”
He was arrogant before, but now he was respectful. His attitude was completely different.
Ding Hao had originally thought that being flexible was a man's specialty. Now, it seemed that as long as it was shameless, it was fine.
Ding Hao smacked his lips. From the corner of his eye, he saw Mrs. Gu's expression change. Then, she said calmly,"Your illness is easy to treat, but it's also quite difficult to treat.”
"Then what exactly is my illness?”
At this moment, Mr. Gu had already brought the food over.
Ding Hao took the bowl and picked up the chopsticks.""Don't talk while eating or sleeping. If there's anything, talk after dinner.”
"Um, let's eat."
There were only two dishes on the table. One was stir-fried vegetables, and the other was tomato eggs.
When it came to eating, Gu Sheng picked up the tomato egg and didn't even look at the stir-fried vegetables.
Ding Hao was quick to react. Just as Gu Sheng was about to pick up the tomato egg with his chopsticks, he took out the largest piece of egg and placed it in Gu Nian's bowl.
Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then he threw away his chopsticks and wailed,"My egg, my egg…"
Gu Nian subconsciously wanted to pass the egg to Gu Sheng, but she suddenly felt someone touch her leg and stopped.
Mrs. Gu glared at Ding Hao, but she did not dare to say anything. She quickly said to Gu Sheng,"Oh, Little Sheng, don't cry. Look, there are still eggs here. It's all for you."
"I don't want it. I want that egg. Wahhh wahhh."
Ding Hao was calm and even smiled. If this thing was his son, he might have squashed it to death.
When Mrs. Gu saw that Gu Sheng was still crying despite the plate of tomato eggs being placed in front of him, she glared at Gu Nianshen and shouted,""You're the older sister. Can't you give in to your younger brother?”
