Lunchtime arrived.
All the villagers in the yard had gone back to their own homes.
Gu Jianguo, limping, placed the dishes on the table, first shouted upstairs for Gu Heng, and then stood at the backdoor, tirelessly calling out to Xu Hong, who was still boasting to a few villagers...
"Alright, alright, we'll chat later, my other half is calling me for lunch."
Hearing Gu Jianguo's voice, Xu Hong said to several middle-aged women, with a smile spreading across her face...
"Sister Hong is so lucky, married to a good man, she usually doesn't even have to cook, and now her son is so promising! Unlike me, I see no silver lining in my days!"
"You're telling me, if only my life could be half as good as Xu Hong's, I'd wake up laughing even in my sleep!"
As flattery filled the air, Xu Hong, humming the tune "Good Days," walked briskly towards the house, leaving behind envious gazes.
