Su Niannian's pupils suddenly shrank, and she asked anxiously, "What's the matter?!"
"I don't know the details, but it was a call from Captain Jiang of the art troupe, who told you to write back to your hometown if it's convenient for you." Xiao Zhang subconsciously looked at Gu Zhiye. It was not that he was tactless and wanted to disturb the young couple's world of two, but Su Jianshan had gone to the sea with his neighbors early in the morning.
After so many twists and turns, this news could only be told to Su Niannian.
Between the brother and sister, it is obvious that she makes more decisions.
Gu Zhiye changed into a white shirt and military pants, and called Su Niannian to have breakfast. He followed Xiao Zhang and hurried to the regiment headquarters. On the way, they happened to meet Su Jianshan who was carrying clams. Gu Zhiye simply took him over and made a phone call. Only then did he understand what happened in Xiangyang Village.
It turned out that Wang Guifen accidentally fell while chopping firewood in the mountains. Perhaps because of her old age, the old lady had been lying at home for half a month because of this fall. Her hometown originally wanted to hide it from the brother and sister, but Su Zhaodi was afraid that something might happen to her grandmother and it would be difficult to explain to Su Niannian in the future, so she secretly went to the town to send a telegram.
When the call came back, Wang Guifen's condition had improved a lot.
She kept nagging on the phone and refused to let the brother and sister go back to see her. Especially when she learned that Gu Zhiye had gone to the South China Sea and transportation was inconvenient, the old lady said she would not let her granddaughter come back no matter what, as the journey was tiring and not good for pregnant women.
Naturally, Gu Zhiye was reluctant to leave his wife, so he and Su Jianshan chose to conceal his affairs so as not to worry the old lady.
After hanging up the phone, Su Jianshan touched his head and sighed, "I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time. This time my grandma is in trouble. No matter what the old lady says, I will go back. As for Nian Nian, her health has only improved a little in the past two days. Let her stay in Nandao to accompany you. After the holiday, please ask my brother-in-law to send her back to Ning County. Otherwise, I will be worried."
Gu Zhiye glanced at his brother-in-law and reminded him in a deep voice.
"It all depends on what Nian Nian wants to do."
The two returned home quickly. After Su Jianshan told his sister everything, Su Niannian subconsciously looked at Gu Zhiye. The man stood beside her, his jaw clenched and his features were cold and hard. Even though he didn't say a word to retain her, his eyes, which were free of any emotion, were inexplicably stained with a hint of nervousness, and the light in his eyes became dim at some point.
Since they got married, the two have been spending less time together than together.
Su Niannian actually wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Gu Zhiye. Even if she took a step back, Wang Guifen was surrounded by her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, but she was the only relative of Gu Zhiye left. They had also escaped death, and although the man downplayed it, Su Niannian understood how difficult it was for him. It would be impossible for her to leave at this time, both mentally and physically.
Su Niannian pursed her lips and answered seriously, "Brother, you go back first. When my vacation is over, I will go back to my hometown. I'll ask you to take care of grandma first."
Su Jianshan grinned: "That's what I planned."
The two villains fighting in Gu Zhiye's mind had long disappeared. The moment he heard Su Niannian's answer, his heartbeat quickened, his eyes became hot, and even his voice became gentle.
"I'll go back with you then."
After arranging everything, all that was left was to send Su Jianshan away from South Island. Gu Zhiye used money to exchange some seafood with the fishermen and asked Su Jianshan to take it back to the Su family. Even the shells on the eaves were stuffed into the package by Su Niannian, who called it a souvenir for Su Zhaodi. Girls all like these things, let alone Su Zhaodi who had never been to the seaside in her life.
After seeing off Su Jianshan, this small courtyard was truly empty...
Gu Zhiye was afraid that Su Niannian would feel bored, so he took her to play on the island in different ways every day. Today they picked shells, tomorrow they picked mushrooms, and the day after tomorrow they picked pine cones. He let her play all the games that could be played. With his deliberate feeding, Su Niannian gained weight visibly.
Pine cones are one of the economic sources for the fishermen on the island. The dried pine nuts are very nutritious. Gu Zhiye took Su Niannian to the dense pine forest early in the morning. Because there were many people going to pick pine cones, the two deliberately kept their distance. Nowadays, even couples have to keep two meters apart when they are outside and cannot cross the line in the slightest. But considering that Su Niannian is a pregnant woman, Gu Zhiye has to keep an eye on her all the time.
Give some help occasionally.
When Su Niannian felt she was going to fall, she would subconsciously grab Gu Zhiye's arm. Her touch was very light, and the skin-to-skin contact was even more sensitive. Amid the blatant jokes from the people around them, Gu Zhiye felt a little overwhelmed. If Dr. Gu hadn't told him that pregnant women should exercise properly, he really wanted to keep Su Niannian at home, and the two of them could hug each other however they wanted. Why would they be laughed at for holding hands like now?
There were pine cones blown down by the typhoon on the roadside. Su Niannian picked them up out of curiosity and asked, "Does this have pine nuts in it?"
"It's empty. They were all stolen by field mice." The accompanying fishermen answered hurriedly, looking at Su Niannian with eyes full of courtesy. With such a beautiful woman accompanying them, they worked extra hard. As for Deputy Captain Gu's cold face, no one cared. They talked to Su Niannian whenever they got the chance, and for a moment, it seemed that she was quite popular.
"If you like, I'll pick the top ones for you later." Gu Zhiye moved closer and took the muddy pine cone from Su Niannian's hand.
The latter's eyelids trembled slightly, and he whispered, "Okay."
Gu Zhiye has always been a good worker. He is strong and accurate. He took the long pole and knocked down the top pine cone in just two or three strokes. Among the fishermen in the same industry, his movements were the fastest. Soon, pine cones were scattered on the ground, and many pine needles with green leaves also fell.
After he paused, Su Niannian immediately went forward with a basket to pick up pine cones. She was so happy. Gu Zhiye saw his wife's little action and raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that the two of them cooperated quite well.
If Su Niannian had not joined the art troupe,
Can I stay in South Island safely now? !
When he thought of this, his chest felt slightly hot, and he felt an indescribable throbbing, until he heard a shout from the side: "Chiye——!"
The political commissar in Zhongshan suit had obviously just returned from the coast. Seeing Gu Zhiye and others playing pine cones, including the new wife, he nodded and greeted Su Niannian, then called Gu Zhiye to the side for a talk.
"Were you serious about the report you handed in yesterday?!"
"yes."
"You kid! This time you captured the intelligence of the United States and you have made a great contribution. It is not impossible to move up. Although the South Island is hard, there are more opportunities than inland. Haven't you done a good job in the past two months? Why do you want to leave? Isn't it obvious that you are giving up your future? Young man, you should be daring and fighting. To be honest, I don't recommend you to return to Ning County. I will not approve this report."
Gu Zhiye tilted his head slightly and lowered his eyes, his voice carrying a hint of joy.
"My wife is pregnant and I can't leave her alone."
"Since she can't leave you, let her come to South Island!" The political commissar's words were firm, and he vowed to keep her.
Su Niannian's delicate little face came into view. Her skin was white and translucent, and her smile was as bright as the stars. Gu Zhiye was silent for a moment, and his voice was clearer than usual: "Political Commissar, I can't leave her..."
