Chapter 477 Taking the Train

The next day.

It was already noon when Shi Meili got up. After lunch, she went to Su Nanzhi's house with murderous intent, but was turned away.

The gate of Su Nanzhi's house was closed. It was Niu Zhaoer next door who heard the knock on the door and came out to tell Shi Meili that Su Nanzhi had gone out early in the morning.

Shi Meili couldn't help but kick the gate, "Bad luck."

Niu Zhaoer looked at her like this, with a look of gloating on his face. In the end, he couldn't help but move closer to her and whispered to her.

Su Nanzhi didn't realize that her invitation to guests had caused problems.

Not long after Gu Xizhou went to work, she also got up and went to the train station.

The Xia family came to pick up Mr. Xu to go to Taipei. Because Gu Xizhou had to work and it was inconvenient for her to show up, she took Mr. Xu to the train.

Because time was tight, the person who came to pick up Mr. Xu was a close confidant of the Xia family, named Lu Zhi, who looked to be in his thirties.

Although Lui Che did not say what he did for a living, one could tell from his temperament that he was probably a soldier.

Because time was tight, the confidant arrived at the Xu family in the morning. After picking up Mr. Xu, he did not stop for any time and immediately bought the earliest ticket to Taipei City.

Mr. Xu had already made preparations after agreeing to this matter.

At this moment, he seemed much calmer than anyone else.

Su Nanzhi stuffed the food she had prepared for the train into Mr. Xu's hands.

"Grandpa Xu, have a safe journey. Grandma Xu, Jianian and I are waiting for you at home."

Old Mr. Xu looked at the full bag in Su Nanzhi's hand and took it without hesitation.

Although he and Su Nanzhi have not known each other for a long time, Su Nanzhi has helped his family a lot. It would be ridiculous if he still cares about these things.

Since he could not repay Su Nanzhi's kindness to his family in the future, he asked Xu Shunian to continue repaying her.

"Shunian, you must listen to your grandma and sister Nanzhi at home. With grandpa gone, you are the only man in the family."

Grandma Xu did not come to the train station to see Grandpa Xu off because of her eyesight problems.

I didn't want Xu Jianian to come at first, but Su Nanzhi made the decision and dragged Xu Jianian over.

Hearing what his grandfather said at this moment, Xu Jianian puffed out his chest and said, "Grandpa, now that I have grown up, I will definitely listen to Grandma and Sister Nanzhi."

Old Master Xu nodded with satisfaction, touched his head, and looked at Su Nanzhi.

"Girl, please take care of the house while I'm away."

Su Nanzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man. I will take care of the house even if you don't tell me."

"And I'm still waiting for your victorious return."

Xu Jianian, who was standing beside him, nodded in agreement, "Grandpa, you should come back soon and tell me what Tiananmen Square looks like."

The little bit of uneasiness that remained in Grandpa Xu's heart also disappeared because of what the two said. He nodded slightly and said, "Grandpa will bring you some Beijing specialties when the time comes."

They chatted for a few more minutes, and seeing that the train was about to depart, Mr. Xu walked towards the ticket gate.

Su Nanzhi pulled Lu Zhi, who was a few steps behind, a few steps ahead, then took out 400 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.

"Brother Lu, my grandfather is very stubborn and frugal. Please take care of him along the way."

Lu Zhi didn't want to answer, and then he heard Su Nanzhi continue: "If my grandfather wants to buy something when he goes to Beijing, please help me fold it. Thank you."

He thought for a few seconds before nodding and accepting the money.

"I will take good care of Grandpa Xu."

After saying that, without waiting for Su Nanzhi to respond, he chased Mr. Xu into the ticket gate.

Seeing that his grandfather had disappeared, Xu Jianian, who had just been excited, pouted and his eyes turned red instantly.

Before he could cry out loud, Su Nanzhi stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.

"Jia Nian, Grandpa is going to do good deeds, you can't cry."

Xu Jianian ate the candy in her mouth and stopped crying, but she still felt a little aggrieved.

"I miss grandpa."

He has been with his grandparents almost every day since he was born, and this is the first time that Grandpa Xu has left him.

Su Nanzhi touched his head and took out a pear from her pocket and stuffed it into his hand.

"Grandpa will be back soon. I'll take you to pick him up then."

This time Xu Jianian rubbed his eyes and nodded obediently.

Su Nanzhi felt relieved and first went to the grocery market to buy some vegetables, and then took Xu Jianian to Xu's house.

Although Zhao Xue’s incident happened before, it did not affect Gu Xizhou from repairing the Xu family’s shower room. Although the area is not large, it is much better than the previous shed that could not block wind or rain.

In addition, Gu Xizhou also repaired the hole on the roof of the Xu family.

Su Nanzhi put the vegetables she had bought from the grocery store for several days on the table, and chatted with Grandma Xu for a while before leaving.

It was already afternoon when she returned to the family compound.

Although the weather has become a little cold, the family compound is still as lively as ever.

But today's excitement came to an abrupt end after seeing Su Nanzhi.

Su Nanzhi glanced at Niu Zhaoer, who was standing in the crowd with a smug look on his face, raised his eyebrows and walked towards the crowd.

Niu Zhaoer didn't expect Su Nanzhi to come over. His expression froze, and then he looked at Shi Meili beside him.

Shi Meili didn't look at her, but just stared at Su Nanzhi.

Because she was busy entertaining guests yesterday, Su Nanzhi wore her old cotton-padded clothes to make it easier for her to work. Although she looked good, she looked a bit rustic.

Now, when Su Nanzhi walks in the sun, she looks like she is glowing. In addition, she is wearing a woolen coat that cost dozens of dollars from the supply and marketing cooperative. If no one tells her, anyone who sees her at first sight will think she is a city girl.

As she walked towards this side for a few dozen steps, she could hear the envious voices of the military wives around her.

"Comrade Su is really good-looking, and this dress is also beautiful. It must be very expensive."

"He's the head of a regiment, so he can definitely afford a woolen coat."

"I heard that the meal Captain Gu prepared for us yesterday was quite sumptuous."

"They are just a couple and don't have any children in the future. They are not as tight on money as us, a big family."

…

When she heard the words "no more children in the future", a look of disdain flashed across Shi Meili's face.

What if she is pretty and the wife of the regiment commander? She still won’t be able to have children in the future.

At this moment, Su Nanzhi had already walked under the big tree.

"Auntie, sisters-in-law, what are you talking about? I heard your voices before I even entered the family compound."

Her face was full of smiles, as if she hadn't noticed anything unusual just now.

Some of the more honest aunts and sisters-in-law avoided her gaze when they heard her words and didn't dare to look at her at all.

Some who were just looking for fun said bluntly, "Nothing serious. I'm just trying to figure out why she complained about not inviting her neighbor to your dinner party yesterday."
