Gao Shanyue held Jiang Xiaofei down with one hand, and her struggle was in vain.
Until a shadow fell in front of the two of them, Gu Zhiye's voice was faint, with rare gentleness: "Captain Jiang, can you chat?"
Jiang Xiaofei froze visibly, her face looking miserable. If Gu Zhiye was willing to talk to her on normal days, she would definitely jump for joy. But now, when she was in such an embarrassing moment, what did he want to talk about? Talk about how she was embarrassing herself? !
Jiang Xiaofei looked ashen, she uttered a low "hmm", and followed Gu Zhiye out of the courtyard, her back looking desolate.
Gao Shanyue folded his arms and stared at the two of them with narrowed eyes. Wang Guifen, who was far away in the kitchen, quietly poked his head out with a frown on his face.
Ten minutes later,
Gu Zhiye walked in boldly, his expression normal. He nodded to Gao Shanyue, who then went to the second floor. No matter what time it was, Gu Zhiye was always concerned about Su Niannian. If that was the case, why would he talk to Jiang Xiaofei? !
Gao Shanyue walked slowly outside. She saw Jiang Xiaofei hiding in a corner wiping her tears. Gao Shanyue teased her in an uncharacteristic way, "What's wrong? Did you cry after talking to Captain Gu for a few words? Captain Jiang has a low tear point."
"..."
For the first time in her life, Jiang Xiaofei did not argue this time. She did not even look at Gao Shanyue, and walked towards the path outside. She completely ignored the questions coming from behind her, and the only thing in her mind was what Gu Zhiye said: "Your love is a trouble to me. My wife can only be Su Niannian. If I hadn't met her, I would have no plan to marry in my life. It doesn't matter who comes first..."
The man shattered her love with his own hands. Jiang Xiaofei looked up at the sky. Perhaps, she didn't want to see the couple again for a while.
…
Giving birth is really exhausting. Gu Zhiye had never seen Su Niannian so tired. She fell asleep almost as soon as she hit the bed. In the middle of the night, her cat-like cry woke Gu Zhiye up. He turned over and got up, hugged Fubao in his arms, and coaxed him in a low voice.
"Stop making noise and don't disturb your mother's sleep."
Fubao, who was still just a baby, opened his big eyes like black grapes, pouted his red little mouth, and moved around, his lotus-root-like hands kept scratching and waving. After smelling the familiar milky fragrance coming from Gu Zhiye, his little mouth pursed as if he was going to cry in the next second.
Gu Zhiye rushed out with the child in his arms like a gust of wind, successfully blocking out the crying. He went down the stairs as fast as the wind and entered the kitchen to look for a thermos, milk powder, and a bottle. After a series of actions, he successfully calmed the little ancestor in his arms.
Gu Zhiye held the baby in one hand and a simple milk bottle in the other.
His expression was one of rare tenderness.
When Wang Guifen came out wearing her coat, she saw this scene. She rubbed her eyes, moved closer, and asked in a low voice, "Did Fubao bother you?!"
"I guess I'm hungry."
"Go back to your room and put on some more clothes. You have to take care of yourself even though you are young. Leave the child to me. I will take care of him when he sleeps at night. You still have things to do during the day."
Wang Guifen reached out and took the child in her arms. After patting him twice, she saw that Fubao didn't make any noise. Gu Zhiye breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandma, the child wakes up three or four times a night. You..."
"It doesn't have much impact on me. I couldn't wake up for the first thirty years, and I couldn't sleep for the next thirty years. I came to Ning County to take care of your children. As for you, just take good care of Nian Nian." Without giving Gu Zhiye a chance to refuse, Wang Guifen directly took Fubao, who was making a fuss in the middle of the night, away.
Until he lay next to Su Niannian again, Gu Zhiye's head was still a little dazed. He stretched out his arms and embraced his young wife, who rolled into his arms with ease. They fit so well that Gu Zhiye felt unprecedented satisfaction and had a good night's sleep.
…
The next morning.
When Su Jianshan saw Wang Guifen strolling in the yard with the child in her arms, he thought time had gone back. He said, "Grandma, let me carry Niannian on my back."
Wang Guifen turned her head and glared at him fiercely, causing the latter to break out in a cold sweat. When Su Jianshan saw his nephew's pretty face, he murmured, "I must have been sleepy! How come I woke up and saw my grandma taking care of the baby?!"
"You are a dog that can't spit out ivory, so why can't I take care of the baby? Didn't I raise you and your sister with all my heart and soul?"
"Oh, are you talking about the story of Chen Niannian eating shit and urine?!" Su Jianshan said with a numb face.
It seemed that Su Jianshan would tell the embarrassing stories about washing feet with boiling water, burping and throwing the baby away in the next second. Wang Guifen gritted her teeth, picked up the broom from the eaves while holding the baby and rushed towards Su Jianshan. It was early in the morning, and the Gu family was particularly lively with chaos.
By the end, Wang Guifen was exhausted. She shook Fubao in her arms and said breathlessly, "No... didn't you say you were going to propose marriage?! Hurry up and marry you off... Ugh! Give me this annoying thing away. You'll only piss me off every day!"
Su Jianshan, who was running away just now, suddenly stopped and came up to him: "Really?"
"Fake."
Wang Guifen took the opportunity to hit her grandson twice. The latter had thick skin and seemed to feel no pain at all. He kept chasing her and asking when they could go to the Liu family to talk. It was obvious that he wanted to marry the girl named Liu Tao home immediately. Even when Wang Guifen went upstairs with the child and called Su Niannian to get up, the other party kept chasing after her, as if he would not leave unless she agreed.
Gu Zhiye had gone to work long ago, and only Su Niannian was sleeping soundly in the room. When she saw her grandmother and eldest brother come in, she smiled and answered for Wang Guifen, "In two days."
Su Jianshan was so excited that he spoke incoherently: "Ahhhh!"
"Look at your useless look, get out quickly. Can't you see how anxious Fubao is?!" Wang Guifen glared at Su Jianshan, then slammed the door with a bang. As soon as Fubao returned to his mother's arms, he instinctively looked for food, like a hungry baby bird.
Wang Guifen changed her previous indifference. She sat on the bed and sighed, "To be honest, I don't know if your brother is suitable for marriage in this situation. Can the girl really accept it? It's not a matter of worrying about hunger and cold. I won't hide it from you. In fact, I have saved a betrothal gift for your brother a long time ago. But you know, if his disease is hereditary, it will harm others."
The pain in her chest made Su Niannian look dazed. She blurted out, "Taozi is a good girl. She really likes me."
"That's good. In that case, the things grandma gave me are worth it." After Wang Guifen said that, she took out a blue handkerchief from Su Niannian's bedside table. All the important things in the house were placed in it, including those brought by Wang Guifen.
The innermost package was filled with the old man's things. The blue handkerchief was lifted up layer by layer, revealing a bracelet of cold green color. The green was particularly transparent, warm and moist. It was obviously a good thing at first glance.
Wang Guifen stroked it twice and said softly, "This was given by my mother-in-law. She said it was for the daughter-in-law of the Su family. Your mother and second aunt didn't get it. Our Su family owes your brother and that girl. Take this as a gift from grandma."
Su Niannian's pupils suddenly shrank. This bracelet was obviously a rare treasure.
At least I can exchange it for half a courtyard house in the capital!
When did the Su family become so wealthy? !
But the important thing is that Liu Tao doesn't like bracelets at all. Because of the style of dance she performs, she doesn't like anything restraining her body. Somehow, Su Niannian felt a little uneasy.
