Chapter 88 How Did She Get Here?
"Xiang Wan, don't worry! Your mother and I aren't that old, we're not at the point where we need anyone to take care of us." Gu's father waved his hand and said, "Besides, we're familiar with the situation in Bakeshu Village now, and you helped build the school. The villagers have completely accepted us now. If anything happens, we can ask Secretary Tong to take care of us. We're fine."
Hearing Gu's father say this, Su Xiangwan wanted to say something more, but Gu Yanxiao agreed: "Alright, I'll tell Aiguo and Yong'an to come over to visit more often and see if there's anything they can help with."
As he spoke, Gu Yanxiao gave Su Xiangwan a wink.
Seeing that he said that, Su Xiangwan had no choice but to agree.
However, just as Gu Yanxiao said, with Tong Aiguo helping to take care of them, they could feel much more at ease.
In the days that followed, they began preparations for their trip to the capital.
And it wasn't just their family making preparations; the four members of the Su family, far away in the United States, were also doing so.
"This dress is nice; it would look great on you, little sister."
"And these shoes, little sister's shoe size is 37, take a pair."
While shopping at the mall, Su Xiangnan and Su Xiangbei bought anything that suited Su Xiangwan as if it were free.
Before long, the two of them were covered in shopping bags.
When they returned home with their bags full of things, Feng Qinshu and Su Henian, who were unpacking, felt something was off after carefully checking what the brothers had bought.
"Why do I feel like you've missed something?" Su Henian said, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
"South and North, didn't you buy anything for the baby?"
Finally, it was Feng Qinshu who reminded the two of them.
"Oh dear! It's true, we didn't even prepare a gift for our little nephew." Su Xiangnan slapped his forehead.
They were used to putting Su Xiangwan first, so everything they bought today was for Su Xiangwan, while neglecting the baby in her belly.
"In three months, Wanwan's baby will be born. Since it's a rare trip back north, we should quickly prepare as many things as possible that are not available in China."
As Feng Qinshu spoke, she simply put down what she was doing and the whole family went to the mall again.
Especially when she saw disposable diapers, Feng Qinshu's eyes lit up: "We must buy a lot of these disposable diapers so that Wanwan won't have to work so hard washing cloth diapers! And formula, bottles, baby clothes..."
The family was so engrossed in the baby products store that they couldn't move an inch.
Feng Qinshu's eyes lit up especially when she saw the stroller.
Su Xiangbei quickly stopped her: "Mom, Mom, this thing really can't be moved, it really won't work."
Good heavens! Just these things he bought now require him to have his entourage help carry them; this stroller is really not suitable.
Feng Qinshu finally realized that they had bought way too much stuff.
If we add another stroller, I'm afraid we really won't be able to take it with us.
"Next time! Or I'll go to the best shopping mall in Beijing and pick out the best stroller for my nephew."
Su Xiangbei repeatedly assured Feng Qinshu, which finally dispelled her idea of letting him push the stroller around.
Even so, including the things at home, they packed up six boxes of stuff.
Su Xiangbei's own luggage consisted of only a pitiful half-box, while the other half was occupied by his unborn nephew.
Bakeshu Village.
As the days passed, the day of departure finally arrived.
With a letter of introduction from Tong Liqun and various official documents, Su Xiangwan and her brother Gu Yanxiao boarded a train to Beijing.
This time, thanks to Ding Yaping's help in booking tickets, they were able to travel directly in a soft sleeper carriage.
There were only the three of them in the carriage, and nothing else went wrong. They ate and slept well, the only downside being that it was a little boring.
Finally, the train entered the capital city.
As soon as Su Xiangwan and her two companions got off the train, they saw Vivian and Anthony waving at them.
Among the crowd of people with black hair and yellow skin, the two of them were extremely conspicuous, making it difficult for them to go unnoticed.
"Su, over here, over here, quick!" Vivian skipped and waved to Su Xiangwan, as if afraid she hadn't seen her.
Anthony helplessly stood by her side, protecting her from being bumped by the crowd.
"Vivian, Anthony, thank you for picking us up," Su Xiangwan said with a smile after giving Vivian a hug.
She didn't say anything polite like "You don't need to trouble yourself to make this trip" or "Thank you for your hard work."
Instead, he thanked the two of them directly.
Even so, Vivian said with a puzzled look, "Su, we're good friends, isn't it only right that I come to pick you up?"
"Yes, we're good friends." Su Xiangwan nodded, then gently flicked her nose with her hand: "I'll cook you something delicious when I have the chance."
Hearing this, Vivian's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Su, I still prefer your cooking to the food in restaurants."
At this point, she glanced at Su Xiangwan's large pregnant belly, hesitated for a moment, and then said reluctantly, "However, please wait until you give birth to the baby before you cook something delicious for me! Otherwise, I would feel really guilty making a pregnant woman cook for me."
Seeing how much she was craving it but was still trying to resist, Su Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh.
The group chatted and laughed as they got into the car and headed straight for the People's Hospital.
In those days, even in Beijing, there weren't many cars.
So not long after, the car stopped in front of the People's Hospital.
Su Xiangwan and the others got out of the car and walked into the hospital.
Although Su Xiangbei hasn't arrived yet, Gu Yanxiao has many tests that need to be done first.
So we arrived early.
Their group, with handsome men and beautiful women, plus two blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, naturally stood out.
Not only those inside the hospital, but also those who noticed them immediately.
Even passersby on the street couldn't help but be drawn to them.
Among them was Zhu Cuihua.
She had only glanced at Vivian and Anthony by chance.
But the next second, upon seeing the pregnant woman being linked with Vivian's arm, his expression changed drastically.
Su Xiangwan?
How did she end up here?
Didn't she and the Gu family all go to the countryside to become educated youth?
