Chapter 485 Disturbed, Gu Nan Didn't Go Home
"Second sister-in-law, so many nice things, including notebooks and pencils, are they for me?" Gu Ningning asked with a smile.
The answer is obvious. Among all the people in the Gu family, who else but her would have access to notebooks, pencils, and brightly colored hair accessories?
Su Niannian smiled, patted Gu Ningning's head, and said that these were for her.
Gu Ningning was so happy she felt like she could fly.
"Then I also have something to give to my second sister-in-law!" Gu Ningning happily opened her schoolbag.
Su Niannian guessed that it must be Gu Ningning's test paper.
I heard about the exam a couple of days ago, and judging by the time, the scores should be coming out soon.
As expected, Gu Ningning took out the test paper.
Su Niannian looked at the two papers with the red 100 marks on them and smiled happily.
"Our Ningning is so great!" Su Niannian praised.
Gu Ningning smiled, then became serious.
"Second sister-in-law, I will definitely study hard and earn money for you when I grow up!"
"I'll also buy you lots and lots of delicious food and things you like," Gu Ningning said earnestly.
Just hearing Gu Ningning say that made Su Niannian very happy.
Seeing that the food wouldn't be ready for a while, Su Niannian told Gu Ningning to go do her homework first.
Not long after, Gu Zhendong also got off work and went home.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can smell a wonderful aroma of food.
He might not have felt it before, but now, smelling the aroma of the food, Gu Zhendong suddenly felt a little hungry.
After greeting Su Niannian, changing my clothes and washing my hands, I went to check on the kitchen.
Su Niannian smiled as she watched Gu Zhendong walk normally.
"Mom, what day is it today? You've made so much delicious food again."
"They even stewed some meat!" Gu Zhendong grinned as he looked at the pork and potato stew in the big pot.
"The food that Niannian brought back wasn't for any special occasion."
"Well, we get to eat meat every day, don't we? Life is wonderful!" Mrs. Gu said with a smile.
Zhao Tian saw that Gu Zhendong was trying to sneak a bite, so she patted him on the back.
"How are you today? Does your leg hurt?" Zhao Tian asked Gu Zhendong with a smile.
"No, my leg has recovered very well. My sister-in-law is amazing. I feel exactly the same as before my leg was injured."
"I even feel lighter than before when I walk."
"Being able to walk is such a wonderful thing," Gu Zhendong said, trying to sneak a piece of food, but his mother slapped him away.
"Wait for your brother to come back so we can eat together! Don't look like you're starving." Gu's mother rolled her eyes at Gu Zhendong.
Gu Zhendong sheepishly withdrew his hand, and when his mother wasn't looking, he grabbed a piece, threw it into his mouth, and ate it.
Gu's mother smiled as she watched Gu Zhendong's retreating figure, pointing with a spatula, "Look at him, at his age, he's still like a child." Gu's mother said to Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian just smiled and shrugged.
She didn't think anything of it; on the contrary, she found Gu Zhendong quite adorable.
Looking at Zhao Tian's smile, Gu's mother knew that the two of them were truly as sweet as honey!
However, Gu's mother enjoyed watching it, and her old man had also returned, so she was quite happy.
The food was ready, and it was getting dark, but Gu Nan still hadn't returned.
If nothing unexpected happens, Gu Nan usually returns on time.
If there's overtime work or something going on in the military, Gu Nan will let him know in advance.
Everyone kept glancing towards the door, trying to see if Gu Nan had returned.
“The last time my second brother didn’t come back this late was because Father came back and it delayed us,” Gu Ningning said.
Everyone was a little hungry, and Gu's mother wanted Su Niannian to eat first, since she was still a pregnant woman.
As a result, Su Niannian said she wasn't hungry and wanted to wait a little longer.
"Don't wait any longer, let's eat first. Gu Nan is probably delayed by something, and we don't know when he'll be back." It was Gu's father who finally spoke.
Over there, Gu's mother went to get clean plates and bowls, and set aside some of each dish for Gu Nan.
Then everyone started eating.
Su Niannian felt that Gu Nan would definitely not encounter any accidents, after all, his skills were undeniable.
However, for some reason, Su Niannian felt uneasy at this moment.
They ate a simple meal, and because Gu Nan hadn't returned, no one drank alcohol despite the food being quite good.
The Gu family members are not heavy drinkers; they just have a couple of drinks to celebrate when something makes them happy.
Because Gu Nan didn't come back, the delicious meal lacked its usual atmosphere.
After dinner, the dishes and chopsticks had all been cleared away, but Gu Nan still hadn't returned.
"Don't worry, Gu Nan will be fine. He was just held up by something." Zhao Tian went to Su Niannian's side and patted Su Niannian's shoulder to comfort her.
Su Niannian shook her head, indicating that she was not worried.
Zhao Tian poured Su Niannian a glass of warm water and cut an apple for her.
Su Niannian smiled and thanked her.
It was already past 8 p.m., and Gu Nan still hadn't returned, so Gu's mother was starting to worry.
"Old Gu, look at Gu Nan. There's a pregnant woman waiting for him at home, and he's still not back so late," Gu's mother said to Gu's father.
“You know Gu Nan is a very capable person, right? Something must have been holding him up. Stop pacing around me, you're making me dizzy just looking at you,” said Gu’s father.
Mother Gu then stopped wandering around and plopped down on the bed.
"I'm just a little upset!" said Gu's mother.
Around nine o'clock, it was almost time to turn off the lights and go to sleep, but Gu Nan still hadn't returned.
Su Niannian had already returned to her room, but looking at the courtyard with the lights on, she still felt uneasy.
Compared to last time, Su Niannian was a little worried this time.
I walked into the yard and sat down in a chair.
She wanted Gu Nan to come back so she could see him immediately.
Meanwhile, Gu's mother had been watching the courtyard the whole time. When she saw Su Niannian sitting in the courtyard so late, she got up and went out as well.
Before leaving the room, I grabbed a light jacket.
He walked over to Su Niannian and draped his light jacket over her shoulders.
"Niannian, don't worry, Gu Nan must have been delayed because of work."
"Why don't you go back to your room and rest first? I'll wait for you," Mother Gu said gently.
Su Niannian shook her head. "It's a bit stuffy inside, it's cooler here! I'll wait for him here."
Su Niannian said with a smile.
Indeed, it was starting to get stuffy inside the skylight.
It was indeed quite cool and comfortable outside at night.
