Chapter 407 Sister-in-law, very sensible
"How fortunate I am to have you by my side." Gu Nan finally managed a smile.
Gu Nan understood the reasoning behind it, but after all, this had just happened.
Gu Nan and Tian Guangwen were not actually close, but Gu Nan had a good relationship with Tian Guangzhi.
Gu Nan felt bad for Tian Guangzhi, knowing that his good brother had encountered such a thing.
But as Su Niannian said, everyone has to bear the consequences of their choices.
Everyone is like that.
Even if I'm sad, it won't help.
If Tian Guangzhi ultimately chooses to stay in the army, that would be great. But if Tian Guangzhi ultimately chooses to leave the army, Gu Nan will still support him.
He supported every decision his best friend made.
Moreover, Tian Guangzhi is very intelligent and clever. If Su Niannian needs help, Tian Guangzhi would be a good choice.
Moreover, Tian Guangzhi is quite skilled. If Tian Guangzhi could help Su Niannian, Gu Nan would feel much more at ease.
Outside, they heard Gu's mother calling Gu Nan, saying the water was ready.
"Why don't you wash first?" Gu Nan asked Su Niannian.
"I don't smell bad!" Su Niannian snorted.
Then they brought out clean clothes for Gu Nan.
Gu Nan smiled and took it, then gently flicked Su Niannian's little nose.
My mood seemed to have improved a lot, so I left the room and went to take a shower.
Outside, Zhao Tian had already carried Yangyang back to the room.
A short while later, Gu Ningning's voice calling for her mother was heard.
The voice was cheerful, indicating that Gu Ningning must have had a good time on her first day of school.
Su Niannian left the room.
Then Gu Ningning took off a military green crossbody bag.
Place it on the chair in the yard.
From carrying Gu's mother, to running over to hug Su Niannian.
Her movements were gentle, truly carrying out Gu Nan's instructions to the end.
"Second sister-in-law!" Gu Ningning said to Su Niannian with a smile.
Seeing Gu Ningning's happy face, Su Niannian smiled and asked, "How was your first day of school, our little elementary school student?"
Su Niannian stroked Gu Ningning's head.
When Gu Ningning heard Su Niannian ask her that question, she quickly answered with a proud look on her face.
"The teacher said I have a very good foundation and praised me for being smart."
"The students in the family compound are all very nice. I'm new here, but they've been very welcoming to me."
"Some classmates even offered me candy."
"I'd like to bring some candy to school tomorrow to treat them," Gu Ningning said happily.
The children in this residential compound must all come from relatively well-off families.
But these days, few children are willing to share their candy with someone they've just met.
After all, even if a family is well-fed and clothed, they won't always buy things like candy unless it's a holiday.
It's clear that Gu Ningning is quite popular at school.
That makes sense, really. The Gu family has great genes. Whether it's Gu Nan, Gu Zhendong, or Gu Ningning, they're all quite good-looking.
Gu Ningning was bullied in Kaoshan Village because of her family's bad class background.
Otherwise, such a cute little girl wouldn't be bullied wherever she goes.
Nowadays, in schools located within military compounds, only those with relatives serving in the military are admitted, so no one thinks about the issue of family background.
Moreover, during this time, Gu Ningning was no longer as frail and sickly as before, and she had gained some weight.
She looks like a very pretty and cute little girl, so naturally she's very popular.
"Okay, Second Sister-in-law has lots and lots of candy, I'll get it for you later." Su Niannian said to Gu Ningning with a smile.
Then he patted Gu Ningning's head.
"Ningning, just take regular fruit candies to school, don't bring milk candies," Su Niannian added immediately.
At first, Gu Ningning didn't understand what Su Niannian meant.
But after thinking about it for a while, I immediately understood.
My second sister-in-law isn't being stingy; she just doesn't want to reveal that her family is too well-off.
While other children took regular fruit candies, I took milk candies, which are much more expensive than fruit candies.
It's like trying to show off how great your own home is.
Gu Ningning nodded understandingly.
Su Niannian smiled. Gu Ningning was quite clever; as soon as she explained, she immediately understood what was going on.
Over there, Gu Nan had already finished showering and come out.
Gu Zhendong also came out on crutches.
Gu Ningning was even happier when she saw her eldest brother come out and her second brother return.
He ran over and showed off to the two people what he had learned at school that day.
Zhao Tian also came out carrying Yangyang.
Gu Nan went to take a shower, and Zhao Tian, as his sister-in-law, took Yangyang back to the room first.
Although the bathroom also had a door, Zhao Tian still chose to avoid suspicion.
In fact, Su Niannian also thought this sense of propriety was very good.
Although we're all family, this sense of propriety makes people feel very comfortable.
"That's great! Today is Ningning's first day of school, and Gu Nan has also returned from his mission. Niannian even brought back two roast ducks from Quanjude. It's perfect for the whole family to sit down and have a proper meal together," Gu's mother said happily.
When Yangyang saw Gu Ningning return, he stopped letting Zhao Tian hold him and instead eagerly played with Gu Ningning.
"Ningning, take Yangyang to wash his hands, we'll start eating soon!" Gu's mother called out.
Su Niannian was wiping the table with a small rag when Gu Zhendong snatched it away.
"I'll do it," Gu Zhendong said, and began wiping the table.
Now, with the help of crutches, Gu Zhendong can move around on his own.
Just as Su Niannian went to move a chair, Zhao Tian snatched it away, saying, "I'll do it."
Then Gu Ningning helped Yangyang wash his hands, put Yangyang on a chair, and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
The roast duck and some accompanying side dishes were wrapped in oil paper, but Gu's mother felt that such good food should be placed on a plate to make it look more formal.
So, everything was placed on a plate.
As darkness fell, light cords were strung up in the yard, so the lights were turned on directly.
It's one of those old-fashioned light bulbs, and the light is a yellowish glow.
However, the presence of a family sitting together, accompanied by such a yellow light bulb, actually creates a more inviting atmosphere.
"Let's eat! This is Quanjude roast duck. I've heard that there are many side dishes before, but I never expected that there would be something like hawthorn cake."
"Mom, is this white powder sugar?" Gu Ningning asked, pointing to the white powder in front of her.
"Right! You'll know once you try it," Mrs. Gu said with a smile.
Over here, Su Niannian, worried that everyone wouldn't know how to eat it, demonstrated how.
"The duck skin here may not be as crispy as it was when it was fresh out of the pot, but try eating it with white sugar."
"Also, use this dough to wrap duck meat dipped in sweet bean sauce, plus shredded scallions and cucumber strips."
