Chapter 23 Do You Hate Me?
It was Gu Nan who was stunned.
In this family, no one knows more about his mother's illness than Gu Nan.
When his mother had a cough before, Gu Nan bought her medicine and took her to the county town for treatment.
However, the medical facilities in the county are limited. They just said that there might be some problems with the lungs and recommended going to a large hospital in the city, which has imaging equipment. You can see the condition of the lungs.
Gu Nan's mother didn't want to go, so she took medicine at home for a while and also took Chinese medicine for conditioning, but there was no effect.
Later, Gu Nan found a friend who had some say in the city hospital, and then asked the brigade to get a letter of introduction, and took his mother to a large hospital in the city for treatment.
The result is lung cancer...mid to late stage.
There is no chance of recovery.
Gu Nan walked out of the hospital with red eyes that day.
He didn't dare tell his family, let alone his mother.
Even though I took medicine and ate some nutritious food, the doctor said it would take less than a year.
It still hurts Gu Nan's heart all the time.
Gu Nan knew that his mother had less than a year to live, but he was powerless to save her.
Now listening to what my sister said, is it really possible for her to cure my mother?
Better than the doctors in the big hospitals in the city?
Gu Nan couldn't believe it, afraid of having hope but then being disappointed.
All he could do was to make his mother live happily in her last moments.
But looking at the little girl sitting opposite him, with her bright smile and a face full of confidence and determination... Gu Nan's heart was also shaken.
Who knows, what if?
Who knows, maybe it really works?
Su Niannian noticed Gu Nan's gaze on her, and when they looked at each other, she knew that he must know how serious Gu's mother's illness was.
Return a genuine smile.
"It will be fine."
She said it, and he actually believed it.
It's a very strange feeling.
Gu Nan rarely put his previous thoughts aside and nodded with a smile.
There was also a hint of anticipation in those deep eyes.
Everyone ate a lot at this meal, especially Gu Nan, who rarely ate so full.
After dinner, Su Niannian wanted to help wash the dishes, but Gu Nan snatched the job away from her.
He didn't say anything, but started washing the dishes.
"Let him brush. Don't be polite to him." Mother Gu grabbed Su Niannian's hand and walked into the yard.
I want Su Niannian to sit down and rest for a while.
"No, I have to go back to find Song Zhiqing. We agreed to go to the carpenter to order a cabinet."
"Besides, she's still hungry. We're going to cook together now."
Su Niannian patted Gu's mother's hand and spoke softly.
"Order a cabinet? My Gu Nan can also do carpentry work, let him do it!"
"This can save a lot of money, and I have several good boards behind the woodshed in the backyard of my house, all of which are dry. These cabinets are better than new boards."
Mother Gu told Su Niannian that she really liked the little girl in front of her.
"Besides, it's too late for you to cook now. Why don't you take two steamed buns and chicken soup from me and give them to that educated youth Song? There's still a lot left."
As Gu's mother said this, she was afraid that Su Niannian would refuse, so she went to the back to find an aluminum lunch box and filled it with chicken soup and potatoes. There were only a few pieces of chicken left, but Gu's mother still filled more than half of the lunch box.
She took another piece of oil paper and put two steamed buns in it. However, she didn't know whether Song Zhiqing was a man or a woman, so she was afraid that he wouldn't have enough to eat, so she still wrapped three steamed buns.
Gu Nan glanced at his mother's action of packing steamed buns, and his heart was beating fast. Could Song Zhiqing be a man?
Thinking about it, Gu Nan felt a little uncomfortable.
Maybe not just a little bit, but very uncomfortable.
Mother Gu packed the things and then took them out and handed them to Su Niannian.
"What size cabinet do you want? What kind do you want? Tell Gu Nan later. He can make it. He's very skillful!"
Seeing that Gu's mother was so enthusiastic, Su Niannian couldn't refuse.
He took the lunch box generously.
"Thank you, auntie. You are so kind." Su Niannian said with a smile. Her gentle voice melted Mother Gu's heart.
What a nice girl.
The more you look at it, the better it looks, and the rarer it becomes.
At this time, Gu Nan had also washed the dishes, then wiped his hands and came out.
"I'll take you back." Gu Nan said in a light voice. In fact, he wanted to go and see who Song Zhiqing was.
I completely forgot about the problems that were bothering me while eating.
"Okay!" Su Niannian didn't refuse at all. Only a fool would refuse such a great opportunity to be alone.
When Mother Gu saw that Su Niannian didn't say anything shy and said, "No need, don't bother me," she couldn't stop smiling.
It seems that this little girl doesn't dislike Gu Nan at all.
Although I know that Gu Nan is not worthy of such a good girl now, people still yearn for beautiful things.
In fact, when Gu Nan said he wanted to send her off, he thought she would refuse, but he didn't expect that she would agree so readily.
He took the lunch box from Su Niannian's hand, picked up his own backpack, and walked outside.
Seeing that Gu Nan left first, Su Niannian said hello to Gu's mother and Gu Ningning, and quickly followed him out.
"I'll come again tomorrow!"
Gu Nan suddenly paused, then continued walking.
Su Niannian followed behind.
But... Gu Nan is so tall, his legs are longer than her life, and he walks really fast.
Su Niannian trotted after him.
Gu Nan also realized that he might be walking too fast, and slowly slowed down his pace.
Seeing the man next to her slow down, Su Niannian felt warm inside.
"You are so awesome." Su Niannian walked beside Gu Nan and couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Nan was stunned. What did she mean by "amazing"?
Su Niannian saw Gu Nan looking at her in confusion and explained.
"You can actually do carpentry work."
Oh... so this is what she was talking about.
"Yeah." Gu Nan just hummed, and nothing else happened.
"Then I'll go back and write down the dimensions of the cabinet I want to make and tell you. Song Zhiqing also wants one made. I'll ask her what size she wants tonight."
"Um."
"I want a bigger cabinet, one with drawers, can you make it?"
"Um."
Seeing that he responded so coldly, Su Niannian couldn't help but slow down her pace.
With his hands behind his back and his lips pouted, he looked unhappy.
Following behind from a distance.
Gu Nan felt that the figure beside him had disappeared, and thought that he was not walking very fast, so where was the person?
After taking a few more steps, I felt that the figure beside me seemed to be farther away... I still couldn't control myself and turned my head to look behind me.
Su Niannian looked a little aggrieved.
My heart couldn't help but tighten.
"What's wrong?" Gu Nan stopped, looked back at the small figure who was still walking towards him, and asked.
"Do you hate me?"
