Chapter 459 Gu Nan's father is coming back!
"Perfect timing, I'm free, I'll bring it over to you in a bit," Gu Nan said.
Then he added, "It was instructed by Commander Lu."
Upon hearing the words "Commander Lu," Tian Guangzhi couldn't help but smile.
"In the end, I still feel I have failed him in his care," Tian Guangzhi said helplessly.
He's good to you without expecting anything in return; you have your own choices.
“He might not understand, but he will support me,” Gu Nan said, taking his things and walking out first.
Yes, Tian Guangzhi knew that his old commander Lu was really good, very good.
"Damn, why don't you take two more? Otherwise, we'll have to make another trip!" Tian Guangzhi called out from behind Gu Nan as he saw Gu Nan carrying two bags out.
Gu Nan acted as if he hadn't heard anything. There were only two floors; let him carry it himself in two trips.
Gu Nan still needs to go and drive the car over.
Tian Guangzhi and Gu Nan put the things on the military jeep, which was the vehicle that Commander Lu used exclusively.
Gu Nan drove to the location Tian Guangzhi had indicated.
Neither of them said a word the entire way.
When they arrived at their destination, Gu Nan helped Tian Guangzhi unload his things. Since it was afternoon, Gu Nan did not see the comrade-in-arms that Tian Guangzhi had mentioned.
After putting the things away, Tian Guangzhi wanted Gu Nan to stay for dinner.
Gu Nan said he had to go back to his unit; he had other things to do there.
Upon hearing this, Tian Guangzhi's eyes dimmed slightly, but he still smiled and saw Gu Nan to the courtyard gate.
Gu Nan knew that Tian Guangzhi needed some time to adjust, and as for discussing with Su Niannian about asking Tian Guangzhi to come and help, Gu Nan didn't tell Tian Guangzhi right away.
Give him some time to recover; there's no rush.
Meanwhile, Su Niannian returned to the military compound in a car.
When Su Niannian arrived home, she found that the Gu family's courtyard was quite lively.
"Niannian is back," Gu's mother said with a smile.
"Second sister-in-law!" Gu Ningning rushed over to Su Niannian as soon as she saw her return.
But he still gently hugged Su Niannian.
"Girl."
Su Niannian saw that Chief Lu and her grandfather were both in the courtyard.
The two were sitting at a table in the courtyard, drinking tea.
Driver Xiao Yang was washing fish at the kitchen doorway.
Gu Zhendong was holding Yangyang while reading a comic book.
Su Niannian stroked Gu Ningning's head and pulled her inside.
"Grandpa, it's Chief Lu!" Su Niannian greeted him with a smile.
"Girl, you're back. Why did you go to the city again? Did you come back in the family compound's car?"
Grandpa Bai got up and walked to Su Niannian's side.
"Yeah! I'm going to the city center with two friends to take care of some things," Su Niannian replied with a smile.
"Old Lu and I are having dinner here tonight. We brought two fish, some pork belly, and some chicken." Old Master Bai pulled Su Niannian's hand and walked towards the chair.
Su Niannian must be tired after being away for so long, so Grandpa Bai asked her to sit down.
Gu Ningning, being very considerate, went over and poured warm water for Su Niannian.
Because Gu's mother said that the best thing for pregnant women to drink is warm water.
The family members chatted and cooked, and soon a table full of dishes was ready.
Gu Nan returned a little later than before.
When Gu Nan returned, he saw that the whole family was quite happy, and Chief Lu and his grandfather had also come.
He greeted me with a smile.
Gu Nan's expression was somewhat strange.
Su Niannian noticed it, but with so many people around, she didn't ask Gu Nan if something had happened.
The family sat down to eat together, and Su Niannian brought out some white wine with spiritual spring water added.
When Old Master Lu saw the wine, his eyes narrowed with a smile.
I tried it last time, and it was absolutely delicious.
Even Grandpa Lu couldn't wait to savor the memory.
Once the wine was poured, everyone raised their glasses.
Those who cannot drink alcohol are offered tea and warm water.
"Congratulations to Gu Nan on his promotion to brigade commander!"
"Congratulations on your promotion to brigade commander, Second Brother!"
Su Niannian was also very happy. She hadn't expected that Gu Nan could be promoted to brigade commander so quickly after returning to the army.
Everyone at the dinner table was delighted with Gu Nan's promotion.
The rice and vegetables were delicious, and everyone enjoyed their meal.
Suddenly, Chief Lu raised a glass of wine.
"Actually, there's another piece of good news today. I originally wanted to wait until things were finalized before telling Gu Nan."
"Since Gu Nan has been promoted to brigade commander today, let's add some icing on the cake!"
"Commander Lu said with a smile on his face."
Everyone's attention was focused on Chief Lu.
"Grandpa Lu, what good news is it?" Gu Ningning swallowed the braised pork in her mouth and asked with a smile.
Everyone else also looked towards Chief Lu, waiting for him to continue.
Old Master Bai, on the other hand, seemed to already know the answer, and sipped his wine slowly.
Chief Lu's gaze swept over everyone before landing on Gu Nan.
When Gu Nan saw that Chief Lu was looking at him, he stood up on his own.
"Is it about me?" Gu Nan asked.
"It concerns every single member of your Gu family!!" Chief Lu replied.
If we hadn't said it that way, it would have been better. Now that we've said it this way, everyone is even less sure what Chief Lu is trying to say.
What good news is there for everyone in the Gu family?
"I can't guess, please tell me!" Su Niannian urged with a smile.
Perhaps because he had been drinking, Chief Lu was still trying to keep things in suspense and didn't intend to say anything right away.
Old Master Bai glared at his old friend.
"You old codger, if you won't tell me, I will."
"Gu Nan's father is coming back." As soon as Old Master Bai finished speaking, the scene fell silent.
Everyone stared blankly at Old Master Bai.
Old Master Bai was surprised by the outcome of his speech.
Grandpa Bai thought that after he finished speaking, everyone would stand up and cheer.
Why... did it suddenly become quiet?
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"You old fool!! Why did you blurt it out first?"
"I've laid the groundwork and prepared for this for so long, and what have you said?" Chief Lu was immediately displeased.
I should have known better than to talk to that old geezer this afternoon.
Damn it!
Such a bombshell announcement wasn't even made by him.
"If I don't speak, you'll probably keep dawdling for a while longer!" Old Master Bai was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Old Chief Lu picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing it while glaring at the old man a few times.
Over there, the first to react was Gu's mother.
At first, perhaps Gu's mother didn't realize it.
But when she saw the two old men talking like this, Gu's mother's eyes immediately turned slightly red.
Crystalline tears welled up in her eyes.
"You two mean... my husband, Gu Yongkang... is coming back, is that right?"
"Is it the kind of person I understand who has returned?" Gu's mother's voice trembled with excitement.
