Chapter 492 Care
As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Xu's gentle voice was heard outside the door.
"Su girl, Xiao Gu, are you guys up? Come out and have breakfast."
No matter how old Grandma Xu was, she would not eat breakfast at 5:30. It was obvious that she got up early to prepare it for Gu Xizhou.
Su Nanzhi took out a lot of fruits and unpacked snacks from her space and put them into Gu Xizhou's luggage bag.
"You can eat these on the train, so don't be stingy with your money when you're out and about."
As he said this, he stuffed a few hundred yuan into the bag.
Gu Xizhou listened to her nagging, and the smile on his face was so bright that it even illuminated the dim room.
However, he still stopped Su Nanzhi from stuffing the money into her pocket.
"No, I don't spend money in the army, and you and the kids need money for many other things."
"I'll mail it to you when the allowance is paid, so don't be reluctant to spend it."
Although he didn't know how much money Su Nanzhi had, Gu Xizhou thought about buying the current yard. Su Nanzhi also planned to buy the yard next door in the future. The money he had would probably not be enough. He, a grown man, could live well in the army, but Su Nanzhi was raising two children alone and needed money everywhere.
At Gu Xizhou's insistence, Su Nanzhi only gave him 100 yuan.
"In the army, you have to eat and drink well. Don't think about saving money. I still have a lot of money. I don't want you to look like you're fleeing from famine. People who don't know you might think I'm abusing you."
"No, I will definitely eat myself to get fat."
"That's not necessary. As long as you're healthy, that's all."
…
The two of them left the room while chatting and laughing, and there was already a plate of steaming dumplings on the square table.
"You two are so young, how come your actions are more slow than those of us old guys?"
Old Master Xu glared at the two of them unhappily and said, "Eat quickly, or it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Grandma Xu on the side glared at him and smiled at Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou.
"Don't listen to what your Grandpa Xu said. Before he went to bed last night, he was muttering about getting dumplings on the bus and noodles when he got off. He even prepared the dumpling filling last night and asked me to make it for you this morning."
Su Nanzhi finally understood why Grandpa Xu looked so unhappy yesterday.
"Then I have to try what Grandpa Xu's stuffing tastes like, but the dumplings made by Grandma Xu look beautiful and delicious."
After saying that, she picked up a dumpling without hesitation.
The dumplings were stuffed with pork and cabbage. Su Nanzhi bought these ingredients on the pretext of going for a walk. In fact, she took them out from the space supermarket. The quality was pretty good.
The pork is evenly fat and lean, mixed with the sweetness of cabbage, making it not greasy at all.
She gave the two old men a thumbs up.
"As expected, old ginger is still spicy. This is the first time I've eaten dumplings so delicious."
Su Nanzhi's flattery immediately made the two old men laugh.
Mr. Xu's smile was fleeting, but his eyes were still full of smiles. "I made these dumplings for Xizhou. They haven't eaten them yet, but you are enjoying them."
Gu Xizhou immediately said, "It's okay, it's all the same, let's eat together."
After saying that, he picked up several dumplings for the two old people, and then picked up some dumplings for himself.
Then, as if copy and paste, he also gave a thumbs up to the two old men.
"Nanzhi is right, the dumplings are indeed delicious. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious dumplings."
For a moment, the main room was filled with laughter, dispelling the gloom of parting.
But happiness is always short-lived. By the time we finished eating the dumplings, the sun had already risen and a horn sounded outside the door.
Xia Baichuan drove over.
Gu Xizhou picked up his luggage and looked at the others, "I'm leaving. I'll be back when I'm on vacation."
Then he looked at the two old people and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I'll trouble you to take care of Nanzhi while I'm away."
Grandma Xu's eyes turned red instantly, and she nodded repeatedly with sobs.
Mr. Xu on the side waved his hand with a sullen face, "Need I tell you? I won't let Su girl get into trouble."
After getting the agreement from the two, Gu Xizhou turned to look at Su Nanzhi.
After seeing the tears on Su Nanzhi's cheeks, his eyes also became a little red.
"When I get my leave, I'll be back. Wait for me. I'll write to you."
Su Nanzhi nodded, but didn't dare to speak, for fear that she would burst into tears if she opened her mouth.
But after Gu Xizhou gave her a hug, she could no longer control herself and hugged Gu Xizhou tightly.
"Gu Xizhou, I can't bear to leave you."
"You must be careful. My child and I are waiting for you at home."
Gu Xizhou placed a kiss on the top of Su Nanzhi's head and then responded in a low voice.
Then he let go of her hand, turned around and strode out of the yard.
Listening to the sound of the car engine going away, Su Nanzhi lowered her head and touched her belly.
"Baby, Daddy will be back soon."
Looking at this scene, a trace of heartache flashed in Mr. Xu's eyes, and he spoke to interrupt the somewhat depressing atmosphere.
"Don't cry, you're already a mother, so you're not afraid of your child laughing at you."
Su Nanzhi wiped the tears from her face and made a face at Mr. Xu.
"My kids won't laugh at me."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room angrily.
Seeing this, Grandma Xu patted Grandpa Xu on the back and said unhappily, "Xiao Gu is back in the army, and Miss Su is feeling very sad. Why are you so angry with her?"
Grandpa Xu snorted, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the yard. As he walked, he said, "I'm trying to distract her. Now she's only angry with me and has forgotten about Xiao Gu."
"I just ate too many dumplings. I'm going for a walk to digest it."
Grandma Xu shook her head helplessly, then walked towards Su Nanzhi's bedroom.
When he walked to the door of Su Nanzhi's room and didn't hear any crying from inside, he breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of pushing the door open, he went back to his room.
Su Nanzhi was lying on the bed. Perhaps she had cried, which made her feeling of parting less intense.
She lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
When she woke up again, it was already noon.
There was only one person missing from the house, but it seemed a little empty.
In order to prevent herself from falling into negative emotions, Su Nanzhi simply kept herself busy.
She went to find Xu Jianian who was playing in the yard.
As the saying goes, learning should start from childhood.
"Jia Nian, do you want to study at Peking University or Tsinghua University like your sister?"
When Xu Jianian didn't understand why Su Nanzhi said this, the expression on his face made him a little nervous, but he still nodded seriously.
Su Nanzhi continued to whisper devilishly, "Then start learning from now on."
The following afternoon, Xu Jianian knew in advance the "charm" of learning.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Jianian breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard Su Nanzhi say, "We'll continue tomorrow."
Xu Jianian's little face turned pale in an instant.
He felt that he didn't like studying as much as he thought.
In the end, Mr. Xu couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out to help, although it was only temporary.
"Not tomorrow! Have you forgotten that you have to register at Peking University and Tsinghua University tomorrow?"
Only then did Su Nanzhi realize that she had to report for duty tomorrow.
She looked at Xu Jianian and was about to speak when she heard Xu Jianian's impatient voice.
"Great, I don't have to study tomorrow. I'm going to take Sister Nanzhi to school tomorrow."
Seeing Xu Jianian looking like he had survived a disaster, Su Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. She didn't go too far this afternoon, right?
It was just teaching Xu Jianian some knowledge of third and fourth grade primary school, although Xu Jianian had not yet started formal school.
"It's okay. After checking in, you can continue studying at night."
Su Nanzhi still couldn't help teasing Xu Jianian.
This successfully made the smile on Xu Jianian's face disappear and shifted to her face.
Because of Xu Jianian, the yard was filled with laughter all night.
