Chapter 489 Reluctance

Just now he suggested that Su Nanzhi live with them, or live closer, so that they could take care of each other.

But if they move into the newly bought yard of Su Nanzhi, then wouldn’t the three members of the Xu family be taking advantage of her?

Su Nanzhi had known Mr. Xu for quite a long time. Before he spoke, Su Nanzhi seemed to know what he was going to say and spoke first.

"Grandpa, Xizhou and I don't have any close elders. Although you and Grandma Xu haven't known us for a long time, it's because of you that Gu Xizhou and I can become parents. It's not too much for us to recognize you as our grandparents."

"If you don't want to take advantage, then rent the house to me. My yard is big enough to accommodate a lot of people."

Mr. Xu was completely speechless.

Grandma Xu on the side made the decision, "Then we will rent Su Yatou's house, and we can take care of each other when the time comes."

As she spoke, she "looked" at Su Nanzhi's belly and a kind smile appeared on her face.

"Although my eyesight is not good, I raised Jianian's father and Jianian. Now this old bone can still take care of my great-grandson."

After chatting with Grandma Xu about some things in the yard, Mr. Xu and Grandma Xu left.

Two more days passed before the yard was completely cleaned up.

Gu Xizhou has been busy these days, and Su Nanzhi always feels that he looks a little thinner. She can't help him and can only give Gu Xizhou more nutrition.

Because they didn't bring much to the city, Xia Baichuan drove a jeep and took a few people directly to the yard.

While Gu Xizhou was busy checking and fixing the problems in the yard, Old Master Xu was not idle either. The day after Su Nanzhi invited the two of them to live in the yard, Old Master Xu went to help.

But after all, he is old and can't do any physical work, so he helps to see if there is anything missing in the yard, and goes out to buy it. If something is too expensive, he will go to the garbage dump to buy it.

Not to mention, Mr. Xu actually found a lot of good things from the garbage dump, which added a bit of charm to the already very quaint courtyard.

Su Nanzhi stepped into the courtyard again. If she had not been here once before, and saw Gu Xizhou and Old Master Xu there, she would have thought she had come to the wrong place.

The courtyard, which was originally a bit shabby and even covered in dust, has now been completely renovated. Like the old house of the Su family, some trees of unknown species are planted in the corners of the courtyard. There are also two lounge chairs under the trees, swaying in the wind.

The broken windows in the room have been replaced with glass, making the room brighter and warmer.

Although the room seemed a little empty because they had just moved in, it had everything a home should have, which aroused her shopping desire.

However, thinking of the two children in her belly, she suppressed her shopping desire.

When the baby is born, there will naturally be more things to buy. When the baby can walk and run, the yard may be a bit crowded. Buying furniture can wait until the child grows up.

"Thank you, Captain Gu!"

Su Nanzhi looked around the yard and then gave Gu Xizhou a thumbs up.

“This house is literally my dream home.”

Gu Xizhou was already used to Su Nanzhi's occasional flattery. When he heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up, "If you really want to say thank you, just hide in front of the children and mention their dad."

He will need to report to the new unit the day after tomorrow.

Su Nanzhi's due date is four months later, and by then it's unknown whether he will be able to make it to the birth of the baby.

Hearing this, Su Nanzhi nodded decisively, "Don't worry, when you leave Taipei, I will definitely tell my baby about you every day, so that they will know they have a good father from the moment they are born."

When she said this, although her face was full of smiles, she still felt a little bitter.

The next time I meet Gu Xizhou will probably be when the child is born.

She felt reluctant to let Gu Xizhou go even before he left.

Gu Xizhou immediately noticed Su Nanzhi's mood. He moved closer to her, touched her big pregnant belly, and pretended to be relaxed. "Babies, you must listen to your mother carefully. If you don't listen, when you come out, your father will hit your stomach!"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a touch on his palm, it was the baby's fetal movement.

"Okay, Dad will take this as your approval!"

Su Nanzhi couldn't help laughing when she heard Gu Xizhou's silly words, "I think your babies are not easy to deal with."

As the months went by, the children became more active. Su Nanzhi would be "kicked" awake by the two children from time to time at night. She felt that the two children had nothing to do with being well-behaved.

But Haibao's father couldn't stand hearing others say bad things about his child.

Before Su Nanzhi could finish her words, Gu Xizhou covered her mouth with a serious look on his face.

"Children can hear you. They will be sad if you say these words."

Su Nanzhi felt somewhat helpless. She had never imagined that one day Gu Xizhou would become such a child-loving maniac. She couldn't help but jokingly said, "Gu Xizhou, it seems that your principles will be invalid in front of children. From now on, the child's education will still depend on me."

Gu Xizhou was stunned for a moment, and then a look of deep apology appeared on his face.

"If I'm not by your side, you'll have to take care of two children by yourself."

"If it really doesn't work, why don't I retire from the army..."

When the word "discharge" was said, Gu Xizhou was stunned at first, and then he was calm.

If I hadn't joined the army and was assigned a job in Taipei City after discharge, I could have lived a good life with a wife and children.

But he was calm, Su Nanzhi got angry, and punched Gu Xizhou's arm.

"Going crazy again!"

Gu Xizhou rubbed his arm, which didn't hurt, with a hint of protest in his tone.

"You won't miss me!"

Without waiting for Su Nanzhi to answer, he placed his arm lightly on Su Nanzhi's shoulder.

"Forget it, you'd better not think about me. I won't be at ease in the army then. I'll save up some vacation time and come to Taipei City to see you more often."

He regained his sanity, and was confident that he could provide Su Nanzhi and the children with a good life after retiring from the army.

But it also means starting over in a completely new field.

It is better to endure a short separation and make more preparations for future reunion.

Seeing that Gu Xizhou was trying to comfort her, Su Nanzhi could no longer hold back her laughter.

"You sound so pitiful. My child and I won't come to see you during the winter and summer holidays."

Gu Xizhou's expression immediately turned serious, "That won't do!"

After thinking about it, he nodded again, "You'd better not bring the child to see me."

Sometimes Su Nanzhi felt that it was not her who was pregnant, but Gu Xizhou.

Gu Xizhou's mood is even more changeable than her, a pregnant woman.

"You have two children with you. I'm worried about you taking such a long train ride to see me."

Gu Xizhou was already reluctant to leave before he even left.

But when he thought about the fact that Su Nanzhi would have to take her two children on a car ride for several days to come to the army, he felt a little distressed and worried.
