The soldier looked at Su Niannian with some embarrassment. The Jin family was not an unknown family in the imperial capital. In the entire family compound, the Gu family was not the only one to receive holiday gifts from the other party. However, the one who could do this was definitely unprecedented.
The soldier tactfully advised: "Sister-in-law, this thing..."
"The Jin family and the Gu family had a feud a few years ago. Their things cannot be accepted. Please return them or burn them. Sorry for the trouble."
In the eyes of these guards, Su Niannian has always been the easiest one to talk to in the Gu family. This is the first time that he has seen the other party in such a tense situation. It seems that the so-called grudge is not false. The soldier nodded, took his things, turned around and walked towards the next house.
Wang Guifen stood behind her granddaughter, hesitant to speak: "Niannian, your grandfather and the Jin family... wouldn't it be a bad idea to do this? After all, there is Gao Wan between them."
"Grandma, do you think the Jin family treats Gao Wan as a human being? I really don't dare to accept their things..." Su Niannian could see that her grandmother was soft-hearted for a moment. People of their generation were frugal and would not do anything wasteful.
But Su Niannian would never let the same thing happen in the Gu family. She leaned closer and told the old lady the truth about Gao Wan's illness. The next second, Wang Guifen took two steps back in fright, grabbed Su Niannian's hand and dragged her directly into the kitchen.
“Wash your hands, wash your hands! Wash your hands quickly—!”
The look of fear in her eyes was as if the Jin family had just sent her an intestinal poison that was hard to guard against. Su Niannian understood that this shot of cardiac stimulant was aimed at Wang Guifen's heart.
From now on, the other party will never touch anything of the Jin family.
After she washed her hands and changed her clothes, Wang Guifen put a scarf around her neck and naggled, "It's cold, you and Xiao Gu should take care of yourselves."
Gu Zhiye was already busy in the military district right after the second year of the Chinese New Year. Most of the interpersonal relationships in the imperial capital were maintained by Su Niannian and Gao Shanyue. The old man and Wang Guifen were happy to take care of the children at home. Fubao and Tudou were both well-behaved and never asked for adults to accompany them.
Seeing that Su Niannian wanted to go out, Fubao, who was still brushing his teeth, ran over and said in a baby voice, "Mom, remember to bring me the lobster pig."
"..." Su Niannian nodded with a smile.
She brought a holiday gift and headed towards East Street with familiarity. The storefront that Liu Juhua bought was in this place. After the other party had a falling out with Deputy Colonel Zhang, she took away her two youngest sons and lived here alone. Calculating the time, it was time to collect the fourth quarter's dividends.
When she arrived, Liu Juhua was kneading dough with her child. Seeing her carrying the large and small bags, she quickly wiped her hands and took them: "Come on, what else do you want? You're welcome..."
"Happy New Year, sister-in-law!"
After Liu Juhua received the things, she immediately went into the house and handed the money that belonged to Su Niannian to the other party, looking clearly embarrassed.
"Niannian, the money is a little less than last quarter. I'm sorry. Because of the matter between me and Zhang Kai, the people from the street office came to persuade me several times. To be honest, I don't want to go back to the family compound. As long as he doesn't bow his head and admit his mistakes, I will never go back! Director Li from the street office saw that I was having a hard time taking care of two children, so he helped me find a temporary job in a state-owned restaurant. I agreed, at least it can cover up my tracks, but the income will be a little less. I'm sorry..."
Su Niannian held her hand and smiled softly: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I'm so happy for you, why should I be angry?! I've already taken advantage of this job, but it's not a solution for you and Sanwa. Sooner or later, there will be a way out. I think the job in the state-owned hotel is good. You should work hard..."
"It's just a job of washing vegetables. What's good or bad about it? You're the only one who treats me the best." The current place to stay and the stable supplier in the black market, all of them were brought by Su Niannian. What he gave her was not only the confidence to challenge Zhang Kai, but also a brilliant future.
When their eyes met, Liu Juhua couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
An unhappy family will always be a scar in a woman's heart.
Su Niannian felt the chapped marks on her palms and changed the subject at the right time: "Let's not talk about those things during the New Year. By the way, since you have made money, you should spend it as needed. Don't be reluctant. Use clam oil and snow cream. The first thing to do is to love yourself..."
Liu Juhua looked at her hand and Su Niannian's hand placed together.
Like the difference between an old woman and a young girl, she burst into laughter and said, "Okay!"
"Where are you going today, dressed up so beautifully?" Liu Juhua looked at Su Niannian carefully and could see that she was different from usual. She even put on some lipstick, which made her look extremely healthy. Her lips were redder and her teeth were whiter, making her look as tender as a February flower on a branch. She didn't look like a married woman at all.
"Film studio, to discuss matters."
Liu Juhua was shocked: "Are you going to make a movie?"
"It's nothing, but I have this plan. It's hard to say whether it will succeed or not."
Liu Juhua patted Su Niannian's hand, her face full of envy: "You are as beautiful as the fairy in the New Year's picture. It will definitely work. When the movie comes out, sister-in-law will definitely be the first to go to support it!"
After refusing Liu Juhua's invitation to dinner, Su Niannian estimated the time and hailed a tricycle on the roadside to go to the film studio. The impatient reporter Chen had already been waiting outside the film studio. Su Niannian was a talent he had discovered, and the other party valued her very much. He led her all the way into the film studio's office to discuss the specific matters of the filming with Director Guo and others. In addition to time, cost, actors' cooperation, etc., many things needed to be finalized.
Su Niannian glanced through the script roughly, but what she didn't expect was that the filming location was not in the imperial capital.
But it is in Long County, City A, thousands of miles away.
Su Niannian's eyelids twitched. She closed the script and asked patiently, "Director Guo, why did you go to Long County to scout the scenes? Is there any reason for this?"
"For no reason, because I want to go."
The door of the office was pushed open, and Gu Shutong, dressed in a well-fitting suit, strode in. It is said that clothes make the man, and this saying is fully reflected in him. He is of a decent height, with handsome features, and his hair is combed back, revealing his full forehead. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses makes him look even more respectable.
He is totally different from when he was in the countryside.
The most important thing is that there is no problem with his feet at the moment.
Su Niannian didn't want to make eye contact with her former enemy, so she only looked at Director Guo. Director Guo, who was always arrogant, began to cut the cigar butt for Gu Shutong attentively. The latter took off his coat, leaned on the sofa, and examined Su Niannian with a critical look.
"Comrade Xiao Su, have you ever heard a saying?"
"Where you fell, there you get up..."
