"Isn't this what you're supposed to do?"
"What should be done? Brother! Are you forcing me?" Jin Chuan's voice was faintly excited.
Jin Lou's movements did not pause for a moment.
But the moment he opened the door, someone moved faster than him. Jin Chuan pulled out the infusion tube at some point and jumped out of the window at lightning speed. There was a loud "bang" that shook Jin Lou's soul. This was the third floor!
His pupils suddenly shrank, and he once again felt his brother's uncontrollable emotions.
The next second,
The usually gentle man almost stumbled as he ran downstairs.
…
Gu Zhiye's concerns are justified.
On the fifth day of the New Year, Wang Guifen took Shen Xiu'e and others to the department store early in the morning. Only Su Niannian, who had a fierce battle the night before, was sleeping soundly at home. Gu Zhiye had to leave for the early morning train, and she didn't even get up to see him off. Just as Su Niannian opened her eyes, washed and dressed, there was a knock on the door, and Xue Ya's cautious voice came from outside.
"Aunt, do you want noodles or pancakes?"
"Eat whatever is available. Don't worry about it." Su Niannian decisively put on a turtleneck sweater to cover the marks on her neck, and wore a floral cotton jacket on the outside. She looked youthful and had a slim figure that did not look like a woman who had given birth at all.
Noticing that there were no footsteps coming down the stairs outside, Su Niannian paused buttoning her clothes and asked in a serious tone, "Yaya, is there anything else?"
"Aunt, do you have time later? I want to ask you for a favor."
Su Niannian opened the door and saw Xue Ya's embarrassed look. She kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes, as if she had made a great decision. She said nervously, "I want to go see my brother."
The smile on Su Niannian's lips disappeared without a trace.
She didn't even know whether Xue Weidong was dead or alive, but she definitely couldn't tell a kid like Xue Ya about this. Su Niannian squatted down, put her hands on the other's shoulders, and said patiently, "Yaya, I know you're worried about your brother not coming over for the New Year, but you should understand the different nature of his work.
This time, he was sent on a business trip to a faraway place, and even Auntie doesn’t know the exact time of his return, but don’t worry, he will come back one day.”
Xue Ya stared at her with confused eyes: "As long as I am good enough, will my brother come back to see me?"
"meeting!"
Xue Ya nodded, sensibly asked no more questions, and skipped down the stairs. Su Niannian's heart felt as heavy as if a stone was pressing on it. The little girl was sensitive, and this matter would need a result sooner or later.
Near noon,
Wang Guifen and her group were different from the serious ones when they left. When they came back, everyone was in high spirits. Even Wang Wei, who usually did not show his emotions, could not hold back his smile. Before Su Niannian had the chance to say anything, Shen Xiu'e spoke excitedly.
"Great news! Great news! My Zhaodi is pregnant!"
"It's your mother who takes good care of you! If I hadn't saved the meat and eggs for you, you..." Shen Xiu'e was so proud that she almost let the cat out of the bag. She covered her mouth in panic and clumsily changed the subject: "I would rather not eat it and save it for you. I raised you to be plump and white. Of course, the one who should be thanked the most is our Nian Nian..."
Su Jianshan touched Xue Ya's head, went upstairs and continued reading.
Everyone was immersed in this good news, except Xue Ya who was walking on thin ice. She was originally adopted by Su Zhaodi, and now she was pregnant. Her situation can be imagined. The little girl had visibly regarded herself as a background board. Only Fubao, who had just learned to walk, kept pulling at the corner of her clothes.
Su Niannian looked at her nose and her heart. After a while, she raised her eyebrows and said, "In this case, Second Aunt can stay in Ning County to take care of Sister Zhaodi. As for Grandma, she can follow me to the imperial capital. The house in this family compound was originally reserved for us by Captain Yan. After the New Year, we have to return it. As for Yaya..."
She paused at the right time, waiting for Su Zhaodi's response.
But the other party was completely immersed in the joy of being happy and had long since left this distant adopted daughter aside. Seeing this, he did not say a word and remained silent.
As the atmosphere became tense, Xue Ya's eyes gradually turned red and a tear was about to fall. Su Niannian quickly put her arms around the little girl's shoulders and held her in her arms. Fubao followed suit and hugged her sister's legs.
Wang Guifen saw all of this. It is said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, but the Su family can only get to where they are today thanks to the help of Su Niannian and Gu Zhiye. The second family was so stupid and did not realize how much Su Niannian valued Xue Ya. In order to prevent the second family from doing something stupid that would dig their own graves, the old lady simply stepped forward.
"I like Yaya. Zhaodi is pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to take care of the baby, so the little girl will stay with me, and Fubao will have a companion!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and Su Zhaodi even cast a grateful look towards the old lady, only to receive a cold stare from her!
After everyone left, Wang Guifen saw Su Niannian taking out candy to coax Xue Ya. She quietly came behind her granddaughter and said, "I hope you are not embarrassed by grandma's decision. Xue Ya eats little and won't take up too much of your quota. I will let Zhaodi and the others make up for it."
Xue Ya left sensibly, giving the two of them enough space.
Su Niannian frowned: "Grandma, what are you talking about?"
"I can see that you like that child very much."
"Her brother is my best friend. Something happened to him, so I must keep Xue Ya by my side..." Su Niannian stated the reason lightly.
Wang Guifen smiled and said, "Then take her with you. The child is very well behaved and keeps me company. Every time I go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, she can bring a small stool to help me. You young people have a lot of things to do and big ideas. Only the child can accompany an old woman like me. I like her very much..."
Xue Ya, who was hiding behind the door, had red eyes again and her lips were almost bitten until they bled.
…
After the fifteenth day of the lunar year,
The spring exam is approaching, and the house in Ning County is already being handed over. Su Niannian bought a ticket to go to the imperial capital to take the exam.
What she didn't expect was that
In addition to Gao Wan, the chief examiner was Jiang Xiaofei. She had lost a lot of weight and her face looked much colder for no reason. The dance for the spring exam was one that Su Niannian had practiced long ago. It was very proper and not outstanding, but there was nothing wrong with it either. After the dance, Gao Wan stood up and gave Su Niannian a warning without waiting for Jiang Xiaofei to say anything.
"Good qualifications, three teams included."
"..." Jiang Xiaofei stared at her in disbelief.
Both of them were familiar with Su Niannian. Admitting her was something they had discussed long ago. Jiang Xiaofei's team was the second team, and Gao Shanyue had already instructed them to arrange Su Niannian to the second team. However, Gao Wan acted faster and directly sent Su Niannian to sit on the bench. She was the captain of the first team and the chief examiner of this assessment. In a sense, she had more power than Jiang Xiaofei.
No matter how much dissatisfaction there is, you can only hide it in your heart.
After the recruitment is completed,
Before Su Niannian and Jiang Xiaofei could reminisce about the past, Gao Wan, who was arrogant, passed by Su Niannian and warned softly, "Gu Zhiye is your husband, right? The wife pays for the husband's debts. Don't think that you are excellent just because you have come to the imperial capital. This is just the beginning..."
