Chapter 436 Applying for discharge from the military was a well-considered decision.
Soon, Guo Futian drove Su Niannian back to the military family compound.
Guo Futian started helping Su Niannian unload her things from the car, trip after trip.
When Gu's mother and Zhao Tian saw this, they also stepped in to help.
Soon all the items were placed in Gu Nan's yard.
Gu's mother asked Guo Futian to stay for dinner.
Guo Futian said he had something to do later and then took his leave.
After Guo Futian left, Gu's mother and Zhao Tian looked at the Chinese medicinal herbs scattered on the ground, along with some bottles, jars, basins, and buckets, completely unaware of what they were for.
Su Niannian told them what she needed to do.
Although Gu's mother and Zhao Tian didn't know much about face masks, face creams, and ointments.
But they knew Su Niannian was capable, so since she wanted to do it, they naturally had no objections.
"Niannian, you're pregnant now, is it okay for you to be in contact with so many Chinese medicinal herbs?" Gu's mother asked Su Niannian with some concern.
Su Niannian said that it was okay, as these Chinese medicinal herbs were all very safe and would not affect her fetus.
Mother Gu was relieved.
The two planned to help Su Niannian clean the Chinese medicine and brew it, but Su Niannian said that everything could be done tomorrow.
Gu's mother and Zhao Tian helped put the things aside first.
Before long, it was time to cook dinner, and Gu's mother and Zhao Tian went to cook.
Around 6 o'clock, Gu Ningning got home from school.
A short while later, Gu Nan also arrived home.
After the family finished eating and washed up, they went back to their room.
Once inside, Su Niannian told Gu Nan everything that had happened that day.
Gu Nan was initially worried when he heard that someone was following Su Niannian.
But when he heard Su Niannian release the little guy to teach Wei Laosan a lesson, he couldn't help but laugh happily again.
"You're such a clever little devil," Gu Nan said with a smile, gently pinching Su Niannian's nose.
Over there, Gu Nan was holding a palm-leaf fan and fanning Su Niannian.
"Of course I'm smart. I'm carrying your baby now, so I won't put myself in any danger," Su Niannian said with a smile.
Her hand was gently placed on her lower abdomen.
Seeing Su Niannian like this, Gu Nan finally felt much more at ease.
I will take good care of my little girl.
The two then talked about selling ginseng.
Gu Nan was also surprised that the space was so magical. The ginseng that was only a few years old had reproduced generation after generation in the space and matured into a five-hundred-year-old ginseng in a short period of time.
At this rate, we might see thousand-year-old ginseng very soon.
Su Niannian smiled as well; for her, an old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, this was indeed a magical point.
As they talked, Su Niannian's eyelids began to droop, and she leaned against Gu Nan's chest.
Watching Gu Nan gently fan himself, Su Niannian slowly drifted off to sleep, enjoying the cool and comfortable breeze.
I had a good night's sleep, and dawn broke quickly.
When Su Niannian got up, Gu Nan had already gotten up early again.
After having breakfast and seeing Gu Nan and Gu Ningning off, Su Niannian, along with Gu's mother and Zhao Tian, began the process of decocting the traditional Chinese medicine.
The main types to be made are divided into two categories.
One type is traditional Chinese medicine skincare, and the other type is plasters for joint pain and rheumatism in middle-aged and elderly people.
Soon, Su Niannian had picked out two large basins of Chinese medicine.
Zhao Tian and Gu's mother helped with the cleaning, and then put the medicine into the pot in batches to boil.
Over there, Gu Zhendong was also cleaning containers.
The Chinese medicine prescriptions were all ones that Su Niannian felt were very suitable.
However, she planned to add a certain amount of spiritual spring water to it.
This ensures that the face cream and ointment will be much better than those commonly found on the market.
Furthermore, Su Niannian discovered something else: things containing spiritual spring water didn't seem to spoil or deteriorate.
Originally, there was always a concern that face creams or ointments containing traditional Chinese medicine would easily spoil if they were not made in a sterile environment.
Moreover, at this time, Su Niannian couldn't get any preservatives, making it difficult to achieve the desired level of freshness.
However, with the addition of the spiritual spring water, this problem seems to have been solved quite well.
These past two days, Su Niannian has been working with Gu's mother and Zhao Tian to research the production of face creams and ointments.
Meanwhile, Tian Guangzhi had already returned from his hometown after burying his younger brother, Tian Guangwen.
Although there were still many questions about Tian Guangwen's sudden death back home, seeing Tian Guangzhi's grief, they didn't ask too many questions.
However, Tian Guangwen's parents have been making things difficult for Tian Guangzhi because of Tian Guangwen's passing.
Tian Guangzhi endured it all and did not say anything that he could not say.
Tian Guangwen's parents felt that his death was suspicious. Even if he died on a mission, he shouldn't have been discharged from the military.
What kind of serious mistake must one have made to be discharged from the military?
Unless he committed a serious crime, he should be buried in the place designated by the Beijing Military Region.
Therefore, I've always wanted to find Tian Guangzhi and get some answers.
Tian Guangzhi didn't want to tell the truth, so Tian Guangwen's parents always wondered if Tian Guangzhi had killed their son.
Back in my hometown, there have been several incidents of protests.
Tian Guangzhi never offered any explanation and silently endured it all.
Even when they returned to Beijing, Tian Guangwen's parents still wouldn't let it go.
However, out of consideration for Tian Guangzhi's father, they didn't make things too difficult for him and let him return to the army.
Before leaving, Tian Guangzhi's father spoke earnestly to Tian Guangzhi.
"Guangzhi, you and Guangwen grew up together since you were little. Even blood brothers aren't as close as you two."
"I know you have something on your mind right now, and you may not be able to explain it clearly in a short time. I just hope that when you go back to your hometown, you can give your uncle and aunt an explanation."
Tian Guangzhi remained silent, simply nodded, and boarded the bus back to the city.
After Tian Guangzhi returned to his unit, as expected, he submitted his discharge application to Commander Lu.
Chief Lu sat in his chair, looking at Tian Guangzhi with a face full of anger.
Do you know how much Tian Guangwen paid to keep you in the army?
"Do you know how humble and earnest he sounded when he told me he wanted to participate in the undercover operation?"
As he spoke, Commander Lu slammed Tian Guangzhi's discharge application onto the table.
He leaned back, taking long breaths.
He seemed to be so angry at the brat in front of him that he was about to die.
Seeing the old commander Lu's angry expression, Tian Guangzhi smiled helplessly.
"Commander Lu, I've thought this trip back to my hometown very carefully."
"This is my decision after careful consideration, and I hope the commander will approve it!" Tian Guangzhi put away his smile, stood up solemnly, and gave Commander Lu a standard military salute!
