"Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Su Niannian snatched the potato that was slightly sprouting, her face full of disapproval. With Jin Chuan's agricultural brain, it was simply a pipe dream to try to trick the other party about food. Since she had promised the other party to treat her to a meal, she could only bite the bullet and do it.
She took the green vegetables beside her, picked off the dead leaves, and worked carefully with Wang Guifen to cook.
at the same time,
Jin Chuan was looking at Fu Bao, who was crawling around randomly. The little guy seemed to be able to sense the malice emanating from him and didn't want to pay attention to him at all. In a way, he really looked like that Gu kid. Jin Chuan took the apple on the coffee table and waved his hand at Fu Bao, saying, "Come on, follow me and call, Daddy--Dad!"
Fubao looked at him doubtfully, his clear eyes full of confusion.
Jin Chuan was bored, so he raised his eyebrows and repeated it again. Just when he thought the kid had no reaction, he suddenly smacked his lips, raised his head and said excitedly: "Ba Ba Ba!"
Before Jin Chuan handed over the apple, a pair of bony hands suddenly reached out and took Fubao away. When he saw the army green shirt cuffs, the smile on Jin Chuan's lips instantly disappeared. He glanced sideways and raised an eyebrow at Gu Zhiye who had just returned home, and said with a smile: "Captain Gu, your son doesn't seem to be very smart."
Gu Zhiye held Fubao in his arms with one hand, his eyes did not fall on Jinchuan at all. He did not even ask a single word about why he was at home. He just looked at Fubao steadily, with an attitude of indulgence and pampering: "That's good, at least you know not to recognize a thief as your father."
"Is this the attitude of your Gu family towards your benefactor?! If it weren't for me, it's hard to say whether the child Fubao would be in your arms now." Jin Chuan's true face was exposed just now, so he simply stopped pretending. He leaned back and slumped his hands on the sofa, looking like the host of the house.
On the other hand, Gu Zhiye, who was exhausted from traveling, seemed to be at a disadvantage holding the child, but he stood straight, neither humble nor arrogant: "This is my attitude of gratitude. Otherwise, do you think you can sit here peacefully?! As for the truth of the matter, I will check it out myself..."
The two men's eyes met, both of them filled with hostility.
When Wang Guifen brought over the braised pork with preserved vegetables, she saw the tense scene between her grandson-in-law and Jin Chuan. Ever since she knew that Jin Chuan was the fiancé who abandoned her granddaughter, Wang Guifen's impression of Jin Chuan had been greatly reduced. At this moment, she couldn't even force a fake smile. The first thing she did was to care about her grandson-in-law's mood and express her own position.
But before she could finish her words, Jin Chuan stood up, took the dish she had prepared, and said with a smile: "Grandma, you are really polite. I told you to just eat whatever you want. You don't have to make it specially for me."
"..."
Wang Guifen regretted it so much that her intestines turned green. She gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Gu is coming home, so there must be no ambiguity. She must eat and drink well. Oh, I still have meat stewing in the pot. I won't chat with you..."
After saying that, she fled from the main room, and finally called her granddaughter Su Niannian back to clean up the mess. The meal was finally finished with everyone having their own thoughts and worries. Su Niannian did not have any verbal exchange with Jin Chuan throughout the meal, but could not resist his enthusiasm and picked up a lot of dishes for her.
While holding Fubao, Gu Zhiye silently switched his wife's and his own bowls. In the end, the two grown men ate all the food on the table as if they were angry.
After dinner, Wang Guifen took Jin Chuan to the next room to chat, asking him to help Ning Huan look at the flowers. Ning Huan and Jin Chuan were familiar with each other, so he couldn't refuse and had to nod in agreement.
Fubao always goes to sleep after dinner. When Su Niannian finished her work in the kitchen, Gu Zhiye had already settled the child. The man was changing clothes in the house. While taking off his shirt, Su Niannian could see the new wounds on his shoulders. The so-called mission was all about walking on knife edge.
In this situation, Gu Zhiye had to face Jin Chuan's provocation when he returned home. Su Niannian undoubtedly felt guilty. She stood at the door and her voice unconsciously lowered: "I'm sorry about Jin Chuan."
Gu Zhiye paused as he buttoned his shirt. He turned to look at Su Niannian and was silent for a second before saying, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he likes you, Nianbao. You know he has bad intentions towards you. You didn't like him from the beginning. Why do you want to be friends with him? This is your freedom. I can't interfere.
But as for Fubao's matter, it's my fault that I couldn't get back in time. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you and grandma bear all this. I shouldn't have..."
Before Gu Zhiye could finish his words, Su Niannian threw herself into his arms, her voice choking with sobs: "Let's try to go to the capital by next year at the latest, okay?"
The imperial capital belongs to the Gao family, and it is an area that Jin Chuan is unwilling to set foot in. Unless he marries Gao Wan, the other party will never go there.
Su Niannian had already made a plan in her mind. After defeating the other party, in order to prevent Jin Chuan from becoming desperate, she must take her family away from Ning County. Although she cannot tell Gu Zhiye about her plan to retaliate against Jin Chuan, the couple must agree on future plans, which can effectively avoid many conflicts.
What was unexpected was that as soon as she finished speaking, Gu Zhiye tapped the table with his hand, motioning her to look at the yellowed envelope. Su Niannian picked up the thing and read ten lines at a glance.
Gu Zhiye hugged her waist and said in a deep voice: "The organization wants me to report to the capital at the end of October. Nianbao, how dare I leave in your current state?!"
"..."
Su Niannian didn't expect someone to give her a pillow just when she was sleepy. She covered her mouth with her hands and said excitedly, "It's okay. I can protect myself better than you think."
In response to her, the man's embrace continued to tighten.
…
"Brother, I finally understand why you like her. She's so cute."
"Even fake smiles are so funny."
In the dark night, Jin Chuan smiled and toasted to the photo on the table. The young man in the photo had a gentle smile and a handsome face. Jin Chuan raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.
Having been stationed in Ning County for more than a year, today is his happiest day, so much so that he is drinking alone here late at night, wishing he could share this happiness with others. When Xue Weidong came to deliver information, he unexpectedly discovered that his immediate superior was drunk, completely losing his usual calmness. He slumped on the sofa with his fair face flushed.
He silently helped Jin Chuan clean up the mess in the room, even washing the dishes and chopsticks. Finally, he helped him to the bed and wiped his hands and face clean.
Jin Chuan naturally enjoyed Xue Weidong's efforts. In all his friendships, he was always the one who enjoyed the fun. Seeing this, he couldn't help but brag: "Weidong! I'm really...really happy today! So, so happy!"
There was nothing much to say to a drunkard, so Xue Weidong said perfunctorily: "Oh, then can you give me a raise?"
“Increase! It must be increased! I will find a way to make you a mid-level researcher—!”
