Chapter 16 Reunion



Even Captain Song's expression changed, coupled with what happened with Su Niannian.

Gu Shutong's character is clear at a glance.

No wonder…

Ma Hongmei impatiently called the villagers over, but ended up making things worse for them. Witnessed by Captain Song and the village party secretary, the Gu brothers separated and their relationship broke down. Even the house that had been renovated in earlier years was divided into two, and a wall was hastily built in the middle.

Captain Song was supervising the villagers to help with the repairs. He saw Gu Zhiye coming back from the clinic out of the corner of his eye, and he hurried over to ask, "What are your plans for this yard..."

"It's empty."

"Empty?!"

It seems that the rift between the two brothers is quite deep, and there is no way to persuade them in this matter. Captain Song looked embarrassed. The next second, Gu Zhiye carefully inquired about what happened to Su Niannian in Lianhua Village after he left. One thing after another, Gu Zhiye's face turned pale. He turned around and wanted to go to his eldest brother's house to settle the score, but when he heard the news that the couple had both returned to their parents' home, he ran away quickly.

Captain Song admitted that he felt sorry for Su Niannian and had wronged her that day. He hoped that Gu Zhiye could comfort her.

After dealing with the matters in Lianhua Village, he went straight to Xiangyang Village.

But I didn't expect to come up empty-handed.

Su Niannian was not in Xiangyang Village at all. Even Wang Guifen didn't know where her granddaughter was. Before Gu Zhiye went there, the old woman once thought that her granddaughter was in the staff quarters.

Su Jianshan, the only one who knew about the situation, kept his mouth shut like a clam and could not be pried open.

Gu Zhiye placed the things he bought on the table in Su's house. Su Jianshan looked at the milky white candies, fruit leather and hawthorn slices in the iron box and swallowed hard.

The former smiled faintly: "Brother, this is the White Rabbit milk candy I bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. Nian Nian is not at home, so I gave it to you. I came here today to ask how Nian Nian is feeling. Is she used to living in the northwest?"

Su Jianshan blurted out.

"Of course she's happy! With a new job, she..."

The next second, he covered his mouth tightly.

Gu Zhiye quickly thought about it. The letter of introduction issued by Captain Song was for Ning County in the northwest, so Su Niannian could not appear anywhere else. He could slowly look for a few factories that could provide jobs. After making up his mind, Gu Zhiye decisively said goodbye.

As soon as he stepped out of the Su family's gate, he keenly noticed the footsteps behind him. He thought that Su Jianshan had softened his heart, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Su Zhaodi.

She was completely different from the bright and lively girl she was that day. Now she was wearing a gray coarse cloth dress, and the look she gave Gu Zhiye was filled with desire and unwillingness.

"Comrade Gu, I know where Nian Nian is. As long as you take me with you, I am willing to accompany you to find her..."

Gu Zhiye decisively distanced himself from the sister-in-law. He caught a flash of a figure in the yard from the corner of his eye. He frowned and said, "No, thank you."

He turned and left, but Su Zhaodi's collapsed voice came from behind him: "She didn't really want to marry you. She wanted to run away the day you came to propose. Su Niannian had a lover in the capital. As soon as you left home, she called her cousin to pick her up. She had planned everything long ago. Your Gu family was just a stepping stone. You were all deceived by her..."

Every word of Su Zhaodi's accusation was heartbreaking.

The next second,

She felt a sharp pain in her scalp, and before she could see Gu Zhiye's reaction, she was dragged into the house by Wang Guifen.

A slap came directly on the face.

Wang Guifen changed her previous kindness and said angrily, "You just can't stand your sister being better than you, right? You throw all the dirty water on your sister, right? Su Zhaodi, don't forget that you can't write two Su characters with one stroke. When Nian Nian first went to the countryside, she gave you a lot of her beautiful skirts.

Since we got an officer son-in-law, our Su family has been standing tall when we go out. Everyone looks up to us. You like to make trouble. In this case, Jian Shan, you go and tell Aunt Hua from the next village that I agree to her marriage proposal. It doesn't matter if she is from the mountains. Just go back and tidy up and let Zhaodi marry far away!"

Su Zhaodi ignored the pain in her scalp and said in disbelief: "Grandma! Grandma! I am your granddaughter..."

"You're such a slut, how can you expect to find someone better?! Get lost..."

Su Zhaodi is pregnant and no traditional remedies can get rid of the baby.

Now it seems that the only way is to marry the other person far away.

And Su Zhaodi's world completely collapsed...

Su Niannian had no idea about the things that Gu Zhiye had caused.

She is worrying about training at the moment.

In fact, cultural and artistic soldiers do not need arduous training, but for a period of time before the selection, the army treated everyone as soldiers to train their physical fitness. Some male soldiers were fine, but girls like Su Niannian, who had been spoiled since childhood, suffered a lot. Just walking ten kilometers with a load every three days could cause blisters on their feet.

The pain kept her awake all night.

She was collapsing and healing at the same time. This kind of pain was nothing compared to the pain of a broken leg. So, even though people around her were not optimistic about her, Su Niannian persisted.

She is like a snail, completing her goal slowly and with difficulty.

Even Teacher Wu, who was in charge of training the new recruits, couldn't help but look at her with admiration. After the training camp, he decisively recommended Su Niannian and others to participate in the primary selection for art soldiers. Those who could join the art troupe had their own talents and gifts of varying levels.

Su Niannian's biggest disadvantage was her weak physique. After half a month of devilish training, she could do splits, kicks and bends smoothly and gracefully, all in one go. Just by walking onto the stage, her demeanor dazzled the judges.

A test of basic skills, plus a dance she choreographed herself.

Su Niannian successfully scored an A in the literature and art assessment.

Liu Tao, who became friends with her during the training, also won the A grade for her unique acrobatic performance and became a member of the second team with her. The art troupe is divided into different categories, including folk art, dance, creation, etc. There are three dance teams. The first team was selected long ago, and they are the elite who can perform in major military art evenings. The second team is composed of talented newcomers. As for the third team, it is the most ordinary dancers.

Liu Tao was born into a dual-income family. Her biggest wish was to become an arts soldier. She was well prepared and knew everything about the neighboring military region and art troupe.

After resting for two days, the other party came to the guesthouse to pick her up enthusiastically. While taking her to visit the art troupe, he introduced it to her: "Although our art troupe is not big, the various facilities are top-notch. For example, the sports equipment and basketball court here are all newly built. You can come here to exercise often. In the morning, we can stretch our legs and do some exercises..."

Su Niannian took some time yesterday to call her hometown. She learned from Su Jianshan that Gu Zhiye was looking for her. She felt inexplicably upset and a little absent-minded.

Liu Tao shook her arm and said earnestly, "Niannian, I am familiar with the art troupe, but I must remind you of one thing first. We must keep a distance from those soldiers from the neighboring military district, especially the battalion commander of the second district. What's his name? Yesterday, I accompanied my senior sister in the troupe to deliver something to him. Not only did he refuse on the spot, but he also scolded me to tears. He is simply a living devil.

A delicate girl like you probably can’t even withstand a punch from him. His name seems to be… oh yeah, Gu Zhiye——!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man standing at the entrance of the regiment headquarter looked over.

Just a glance,

Liu Tao broke out in cold sweats and almost died during the performance!

Help! !

Why would this living devil come to their art troupe out of nowhere? !
