Chapter 110 Life is hard, but love is sweet
There is no one like Su Niannian who would take the initiative to make friends with me.
For a moment, Widow Wu was really moved.
Seeing Su Niannian's tough attitude, Widow Wu did not refuse.
"Thank you." said Widow Wu.
"Baozi, come here and say thank you to your sister Nian Nian."
Baozi quickly listened to his mother and said thank you to Su Niannian. Su Niannian touched Baozi's head.
He took out another handful of candy from his pocket and handed it to Baozi.
When Baozi saw the candy, his eyes lit up, but he still didn't take it. Instead, he looked at his mother.
Widow Wu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up, "Sister Nian Nian gave it to you, please keep it."
Baozi took the candy that Su Niannian handed over with both hands, his eyes full of cherishment.
"There's no rush to make the clothes. Just do it whenever you have time." After Su Niannian said this, Widow Wu nodded, and Su Niannian and Gu Nan left Baozi's house.
Widow Wu thought that she would definitely make the clothes and send them to Su Niannian as soon as possible.
My family owes Su Niannian too much.
This little girl is so nice.
"Mom, can I eat one of this candy now?" Baozi asked his mother, holding the candy in his hand.
Widow Wu felt sad because she couldn't even buy Baozi a few pieces of candy during the Chinese New Year last year.
What she did as a mother was a bit lousy.
Baozi's mother touched Baozi's head and said gently, "Eat it."
Baozi carefully peeled a piece of candy and was about to put it in his mouth, but stopped when it was close to his lips.
As if he thought of something.
"Mom, you eat first."
"Mom doesn't want to eat it, so you eat it."
"If mom doesn't want to eat, then I won't eat either." Although Baozi is not very old, he knows that his family's situation is not good.
So he never made any excessive requests, and whenever he had time, he would go digging wild vegetables and picking wild fruits.
If there is anything I can do at home, I will take the initiative to help.
He knew that although his mother was poor, she had tried her best to give him good things.
Last winter, his mother was often hungry, but she still made sure to eat enough.
Baozi remembers everything, and he secretly swore in his heart that when he grows up, he will repay his mother for raising him.
This candy should be delicious. Mom hasn’t eaten anything delicious for a long time, so Baozi hopes that his mother will eat it too.
Baozi's mother looked at Baozi's serious expression and couldn't help feeling a little warm in her heart.
All his efforts are worth it. His son Baozi loves his mother very much.
"Okay." Widow Wu opened her mouth and Baozi put the candy into her mouth.
Widow Wu held the candy in her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, "It's so sweet."
"Eat Baozi too." Widow Wu said as she peeled a candy and put it into Baozi's mouth.
Baozi felt the sweetness of the candy in his mouth, and his eyes narrowed with happiness.
"Candy is so delicious. When Baozi grows up, I will give candy to mom every day." Baozi said with a smile.
Widow Wu touched Baozi's head with relief.
Although life is hard, the mother and daughter warm each other and rely on each other, and life can be sweet in their eyes.
On the other side, Su Niannian and Gu Nan went home together.
We arrived before work was over, so we didn't meet many villagers.
When the two returned home, Gu's mother had already prepared dinner.
Just wait for the two people to enter the house, and then you can extinguish the fire under the stove.
Su Niannian went to the kitchen to help Gu's mother serve the food and brought it to the dining table in the yard.
Gu Ningning took the bowl and chopsticks and brought in the food for her elder brother Gu Zhendong.
At this time, Gu Zhendong's condition was better than during the day.
"Brother, eat." Gu Ningning put the low table away and placed the dishes and rice in front of Gu Zhendong.
"I don't have much appetite. You guys eat." Gu Zhendong still had no appetite.
Gu Ningning tried to persuade her a few times, but to no avail.
Gu Ningning could only lower her head and leave Gu Zhendong’s room.
When Mother Gu saw Gu Ningning like this, she knew that Gu Zhendong definitely had no plans to eat again.
I got up and wanted to go over and take a look.
It was also at this time that Gu Nan patted his mother's shoulder and said, "I'll go."
Gu Nan got up and went to Gu Zhendong's room.
When I entered the room, I saw Gu Zhendong lying on the kang with his head tilted back, with a thin blanket covering him.
"Brother." Gu Nan called Gu Zhendong.
Gu Zhendong just realized that the person who came in this time was Gu Nan.
I couldn't help but turn my head and look to the other side.
In fact, after Gu Zhendong became a disabled person, he was a little afraid of seeing Gu Nan.
After all, as a disabled person, I will have to rely on my younger brother for support for the rest of my life.
Gu Zhendong even thought about dying, but he didn't have the courage to take this step.
So, every time he saw Gu Nan, he would feel guilty.
If I hadn't been disabled, the responsibility of this family wouldn't have fallen entirely on Gu Nan.
"I know what you are thinking. We are brothers, blood-related brothers, aren't we?" Gu Nan didn't continue looking at Gu Zhendong.
Instead, he sat on the edge of the kang with his back to the room, looking at the photos on the box in the distance.
That was a family photo taken in the past.
“Do you really understand what home is?”
"In my opinion, home is a person's last resort, a place where one can go no matter what happens outside."
Gu Nan didn't care whether Gu Zhendong could listen to him or not, and just started talking to himself.
This was also the first time that Gu Nan spoke so much at home.
"When I was in the army, I had a subordinate who was 22 years old. He was a platoon leader and led the team on missions."
"As a result, his identity was exposed and he was tortured by the enemy. When I led my men to find him..."
It was a summer, and the 22-year-old Han Wen led his team on a mission. As a result, because he wanted to save one of his soldiers, his identity was exposed and he was captured.
The enemy used many extraordinary means against Han Wen, even to the point of digging out flesh and bleeding.
Han Wen refused to say a single word.
Seeing that Han Wen was stubborn, the enemy decided to kill him. Since they couldn't get any information out of him, they might as well torture him to death to see how stubborn he was.
He even did things like pulling out fingernails while someone was still alive. Han Wen fainted several times but didn't say a word.
When Gu Nan and his men arrived, Han Wen was almost dead.
At that time, Han Wen only said one sentence to Gu Nan.
"Kill me and send my body back to my hometown." As he spoke, blood foam was still spurting out of his mouth.
At that time, Gu Nan just felt cold all over.
This is a tough guy with a strong character who can remain silent under the enemy's torture.
He just wanted to be free now.
But Gu Nan couldn't do that, because his weapon was used to kill enemies, not his compatriots.
What’s more, they are comrades-in-arms who you see day and night.
"If you are a man, you must live on. You have endured so much suffering. Is there anything more difficult than death?"
"Think about your mother who is waiting for you to come home!"
