Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 131: Mom, I’m Home!

The smell of stinky feet, the odor of a child’s excrement, and the neighboring man’s body odor almost made him faint.

When mentioning that day, the expressions on the three people’s faces didn’t look too good.

Gu Jin took out the food for the journey from the suitcase and then placed the suitcase under the bed they’d be sitting on.

His cousins chatted and played boisterously nearby; after tidying up, Gu Jin sat on the bed and waved to the well-behaved little one not far away, "Come here."

The child obediently approached, and Gu Jin placed the box of cookies from the bed into his arms: "This is your food supply for the journey, eat sparingly, and I’ll make you some delicious soup when we get home."

Thinking of her cooking skills, An Mingji swallowed silently and nodded vigorously.

The three boys who were playing nearby stopped what they were doing when they heard Gu Jin’s words, especially Gu Jiajie, who was already lying on the bed. He suddenly sat up and involuntarily swallowed.

Wandering outside for nearly a month, he hadn’t had a decent meal, and his meal times were all over the place.

Listening to his cousin’s words about cooking at home, recalling the delicious food at home, he truly was... craving it!

Having also tasted Gu Jin’s cooking, Liu Pingyuan and Wu Zhiren watched Gu Jin with eager expressions.

Noticing their gazes, Gu Jin estimated that they would be home by tomorrow afternoon; she smiled and said, "When we arrive home tomorrow, stay for dinner in the evening; consider it a welcome home for you all."

Upon hearing this, Liu Pingyuan and Wu Zhiren’s faces were full of smiles and gratitude, while Gu Jiajie, standing aside, looked at them with a face full of contempt, as if looking at country bumpkins.

However, deep down, he too was secretly anticipating and hoping to reach home quickly.

It was impossible for anyone to resist the delicious food cooked by his cousin.

...

By the afternoon of the next day, Gu Jin and the group returned to Qingshan Village under the cloudy skies.

The five of them stepped into the Gu Family’s courtyard, where Chen Hong was picking wild vegetables she had dug up from the mountains.

Even though the family had precious rice, white flour, and some preserved wild boar meat stored, with many mouths to feed, the household needed at least a hundred catties of grain every month for three meals a day.

Her son had been away in the county for almost a month without any news, and with Gu Jin taking the little one away, there were three fewer mouths to feed at home, which saved some grain resources.

Despite this, there wasn’t much grain left at home.

The skies had remained overcast for several days, and in another month, the grain harvest would begin, which might make life a little better.

While picking the wild vegetables, Chen Hong was worried and thought about when her son, who had been away for so long, would return; these past few days, her heart had been restless.

It was at this moment that the door of the Gu Family was pushed open, and Gu Jin’s group walked into the courtyard.

Hearing the noise, Chen Hong looked up and immediately saw her son, Gu Jiajie.

"Jiajie, you’re back!"

She stood up excitedly, her face full of surprise and joy.

"Mom, I’m back!" Gu Jiajie, holding his bag, walked quickly towards her.

Gu Jin, holding the little one’s hand, followed alongside Wu Zhiren and Liu Pingyuan.

"You naughty boy, you worried me to death, no news for so long; you heartless child!" Chen Hong embraced her son, her voice wavering with excitement.

"Here I am, back now..." Gu Jiajie voiced comfortingly.

The old man inside was also alerted and stepped out with his pipe in hand.

Seeing his eldest grandson return, the old man’s stern face softened significantly, and his gaze at Gu Jin held a hint of profundity.
