Chapter 474 Family is the endless source of motivation!
"Yongkang, what's wrong with you?" Gu's mother noticed the change in her husband's eyes and asked worriedly.
"Other people have been implicated in this incident, and some... have already died."
"Some died of illness, some died of starvation, and some died from being unable to bear the humiliation."
"Even if we investigate thoroughly, it's all in vain if the person is gone." Gu Yongkang said.
His expression became lonely.
If I hadn't persisted at that time, I'm afraid what would have been waiting for this family would have been a death notice.
Gu Ningning sat at the table. She always thought that when her father came back, the house would be full of laughter and joy.
Everyone will laugh happily, the kind that can't stop laughing.
Unexpectedly, when Daddy was back and everyone was so happy, everyone seemed to have a sad look on their face.
This was something Gu Ningning had not thought of before.
She now cherishes the present day and feels that everything is so unreal.
Gu Ningning got down from the chair and came to her father.
Holding daddy's hand, "Dad, you haven't thought about dying, have you? You've been able to hold on because you have us!" Gu Ningning said while hugging daddy.
As she spoke, tears began to fall unconsciously.
"Yes, as long as one is alive, there is hope. Daddy has always hoped that one day he can see you again."
“It’s you who kept me going.”
"Don't cry, girl! Daddy is back. Once everything is investigated clearly, Daddy will be cleared." Gu Yongkang touched Gu Ningning's head.
Said in a gentle tone.
Gu Ningning nodded heavily.
Over there, Gu's mother's hand was also placed on Gu Yongkang's hand.
Gu Yongkang felt the warmth given to him by his wife and children.
"Hurry! Eat first!" said Gu's mother, and picked up another piece of meat for Gu Yongkang with chopsticks.
But there was no place to put Gu Yongkang's bowl.
"Everyone, eat! We're happy today, have a couple of drinks." Su Niannian said with a smile, and stood up to pour the wine.
Mother Gu also had a drink today, which was rare.
Zhao Tian over there also poured some wine and said that she was in a good mood today and it was okay to drink a little.
There was constant talking during the meal.
We talked for a long, long time.
The light bulb in the yard was not bright, but on this night, this dim light illuminated the hearts of everyone in the Gu family.
It was midnight when the family reluctantly left the table.
Gu's mother boiled some hot water for Gu Yongkang so that he could take a comfortable hot bath and have a good sleep.
After Gu Yongkang finished taking a shower, he placed his spare clothes outside the bathroom.
It's not new, but it's clean.
Gu Yongkang smiled and put on his clothes.
The clothes were from the past and now they seem a little too big for me.
In the room, Gu's mother was making the bed.
Gu Yongkang did not bring back any of his things, or rather, there was almost nothing he could bring back.
Ragged clothes, tattered mats, broken bowls...
None of these are worth bringing back.
The clothes that Gu Yongkang is wearing now were given to him by a big brother in the village.
Gu Yongkang walked into the room, and his mother saw that there was still water on Gu Yongkang's hair.
I used a clean towel to dry the water on his hair.
"You look much older." Mother Gu murmured.
Gu Yongkang smiled and said, "It's not easy to be alive."
Yes, it’s not easy to be alive.
Gu Yongkang is less than 50 years old this year, but he looks like he is in his 60s.
He is just a skeleton and looks very fragile.
"It's okay. Eat more and take good care of yourself and you'll be fine." Mother Gu said as she continued with her hands.
But seeing her husband's current appearance still touched the softest spot in her heart.
The tears fell silently again.
The old couple talked a lot that night.
Sometimes they talked about the times when they were bullied and despised, and sometimes they talked about the times when Su Niannian treated his own illness and his eldest son's illness.
There was also the time when Gu Zhendong got divorced and wanted to go back to Yangyang.
They also talked about marrying Zhao Tian and how Su Niannian turned the tide.
The two of them felt sorry for each other for a while, and then laughed happily.
We talked a lot that night.
That night, Gu Ningning and Yangyang went to sleep in Gu Zhendong's room.
Su Niannian asked them to sleep in their own rooms. Yangyang agreed, but Gu Ningning disagreed.
Gu Ningning felt that her second sister-in-law was pregnant and needed to have a good rest.
Yangyang is very noisy when he sleeps and can roll from the head to the foot of the bed.
It will definitely disturb my second brother and his wife.
When the yard returned to silence, Gu Nan embraced Su Niannian and lay on the bed.
"The moon is very bright tonight." Gu Nan murmured while hugging Su Niannian.
"Yes, it's very bright." Su Niannian responded.
"Dad is back, and this family is complete." Gu Nan said again.
"Yes, you can also put down the burden now. Before you met me, your life must have been very tiring." Su Niannian said, hugging Gu Nan tighter.
Are you tired? tired!
But Gu Nan felt that he was a member of this family and should take on the responsibility of taking care of this family.
But now, his father is back and his eldest brother's leg has completely healed.
Gu Nan felt that all the tiredness seemed to be worth it.
Hugging Su Niannian tightly, Gu Nan felt as if he owned the whole world.
The two fell asleep in each other's arms.
Su Niannian felt Gu Nan's breathing, which gradually became steady.
It’s great to be reborn. It’s great.
When the sun was awakened again the next morning, Su Niannian got up and stretched.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Gu Nan washing up in the yard.
Seeing Su Niannian, Gu Nan wiped his face casually and walked over.
"You got up early today." Gu Nan whispered in Su Niannian's ear.
"That's right! I was also a diligent and good child!" Su Niannian said proudly.
"Yes, yes. Second sister-in-law is really a good child!" Gu Ningning said with a smile.
Su Niannian stuck out her tongue.
I didn't expect that this little girl would hear me talking to Gu Nan.
But it doesn’t matter!
The main feature is thick-skinned!
Gu Yongkang and his mother came out from the kitchen upon hearing the noise.
"Nian Nian got up early today." Mother Gu said with a smile.
It's indeed earlier than usual.
"Mom! Even you say that, making me look like a lazy bum!" Su Niannian pouted.
"Not lazy. Nian Nian is the most diligent girl in the world." Mother Gu comforted with a smile.
Here, the food was brought out from the kitchen.
Freshly cooked porridge in the morning, and some leftover dishes from last night.
Zhao Tian made egg pancakes again, and the fragrance spread from ten miles away.
The family sat down and had a happy breakfast.
"Dad, are you going with me now, or should you go later?" Gu Nan asked his father while eating.
"I'll go with you. It was dark yesterday and I didn't remember to clear the way!" Gu Yongkang took a sip of porridge and said while looking up.
