Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1713: Switching the Beams and Pillars 1

Lu Erxiong ran quickly, his voice trailing off as he entered the house, while Doctor Guo was getting ready to go to the hospital.

"Who’s looking for me?" Doctor Guo put on a big straw hat.

Lu Erxiong stood under the ceiling fan, pointing towards the door, "I don’t know his name; my sister calls him Uncle Shi. I must have met him, but I was too young to remember, so it’s normal that I don’t recognize him now!"

Doctor Guo found it amusing that it was merely a question of recognition or not, yet the little guy came up with such an explanation.

Feng Qingxue finished washing the dishes and came in to cool off, unable to help saying, "Auntie, don’t listen to his nonsense."

"Let me see who it is."

Doctor Guo walked out of the main hall, and Gu Mei led a middle-aged man in his forties into the courtyard.

Seeing this man’s features, Doctor Guo suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

"Are you looking for me?" Why does he give her an indescribable sense of warmth?

Her chest felt full, as if a missing piece of her heart had just been completed.

Shi Guantao looked at the elderly woman who stopped in her tracks upon seeing him, his expression complicated. He noticed she seemed a little unsteady under the scorching sun and took a few large steps forward, instantly reaching her, setting down his luggage, and supporting her arm.

Lu Erxiong, disliking the heat and not wanting to go out, plopped himself down on the straw mat, constantly complaining about how hot it was outside after delivering the message.

Sister-in-law Gu was worried about the child getting overheated and saw her aunt and the visitor standing in the yard without speaking, so she walked straight over, "Aunt, if you have something to say, let’s go inside; I’ll call the kids in." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Doctor Guo responded, and Shi Guantao also looked up at Sister-in-law Gu.

The moment she clearly saw Shi Guantao’s face, Sister-in-law Gu blurted out, "Third Uncle?"

"Third Uncle?"

A puzzled voice escaped from Doctor Guo, but before she could speak, Sister-in-law Gu shook her head vigorously, "No, no, it can’t be Third Uncle; he’s been gone for many years."

Doctor Guo suddenly grabbed Shi Guantao’s arm that was supporting her, her gaze fixed on his face, "Xiaoman, do you think he resembles your uncle?"

The "Third Uncle" Sister-in-law Gu mentioned was Doctor Guo’s husband, who was third-ranked among his brothers.

Sister-in-law Gu came closer and studied him for a moment, "At first glance, he does resemble him a bit—his demeanor and spirit do. I really thought it was Third Uncle back again, but upon close inspection, his eyebrows, eyes, and nose don’t actually look like Third Uncle’s. Maybe I was seeing things."

"When I first saw him, he also seemed familiar, like I’d seen him somewhere before."

Feng Qingxue followed behind Sister-in-law Gu, stopping at the hall entrance. She recognized Shi Guantao at a glance and was about to greet him, but then she overheard Doctor Guo and Sister-in-law Gu’s conversation. She couldn’t help but glance at Shi Guantao a few times; his weather-beaten, rough face looked a decade older than Lu Jiang’s, and she couldn’t see who he resembled.

If she remembered correctly, Shi Guantao was even younger than Lu Jiang!

"Auntie, sister-in-law, whatever needs to be said, let’s discuss it inside. He’s Lu Jiang’s comrade-in-arms, called Shi Guantao, and I know him."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Guo promptly invited Shi Guantao inside.

Shi Guantao bent down to pick up his luggage and greeted Feng Qingxue again when he entered.

Cheng Baoguo saw Shi Guantao and casually remarked, "Guo Xia, is he a relative from the old Gu Family?"

Doctor Guo grasped onto what he said, "Brother Cheng, did you say he’s a relative of the Gu Family?"

"It’s obvious, right? Look at him—his build, his demeanor, his proud stride, and even his expression; doesn’t he resemble Gu Datou from your family?" Cheng Baoguo said, rubbing the stubble on his chin, "It’s odd; at first glance, he looks so similar, but a closer look at his features tells otherwise."
