Chapter 393 Infiltrating and Fishing, tonight after nightfall
"The apple of Old Master Bai's eye," Guo Futian said with a smile.
Grandpa Bai... the apple of the eye of a leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine.
Well, thankfully my attitude was decent enough that I didn't offend this person.
Holding the medicinal diet recipe in my hand, I hurried off to prepare it.
In those days, traditional Chinese medicine shops had a dedicated area for decocting Chinese medicine.
Some traditional Chinese medicines require specific methods of preparation, so they need to be decocted by a specialist.
Of course, some wealthy people also prepare medicinal cuisine, so the ingredients for medicinal cuisine are quite complete here.
This person immediately began preparations.
Over there, Su Niannian was still smiling sweetly as her grandfather gave her instructions.
So this is what it feels like to be cared for and loved by family.
Su Niannian smiled as she listened to her grandfather speak.
"What are you grinning about, you silly girl? You need to take what I'm telling you seriously!"
"Please, whatever you do, don't let your guard down, even though we're both excellent doctors."
"After all, twins are really hard to give birth to," Grandpa Bai quickly said when he saw Su Niannian just grinning foolishly.
"Yes, yes, I've written down everything you said."
“I laugh… simply because I hadn’t felt the love of my family before, but now, with Grandpa by my side, I feel very happy.”
"Before I went to the countryside, I did the hardest work at home and ate the worst food."
"It's okay if we can eat our fill, but we go hungry for two meals a day for three days straight, and even leftovers aren't enough to fill us up."
"Whenever my family occasionally eats refined grains like rice or steamed buns, I'm always the one who has to go out to buy them."
Su Niannian spoke with a smile, as if she hadn't experienced it herself.
In fact, Su Niannian did not tell her grandfather about the most tragic side of her life.
Compared to the beatings she endured, the cracked hands and feet in winter, and the need to wash clothes in icy water, these were nothing.
And there was her drafty storage room in winter, and her wooden bed, where she had no thick clothes, blankets, or mattresses in winter...
Su Niannian didn't explain these things to her grandfather in detail.
Despite this, Grandpa still felt sad when he heard Su Niannian's words.
"Child, you've suffered."
"With me, your old man, around, you won't suffer any injustices or hardships."
"No matter what happens, as long as I, your old man, am alive, I will protect you every single day."
As he spoke, Grandpa Bai stood up and hugged Su Niannian.
An aged hand patted Su Niannian's back repeatedly.
Hearing her grandfather say that, Su Niannian felt very warm inside.
"Grandpa, it's so good to have met you again."
"Moreover, the entire Gu family treats me very, very well. Gu Nan loves me especially, and he values me more than his own life."
"Niannian feels extremely happy right now." Su Niannian's smile reached her eyes.
"Gu Nan is a good kid, and he's very smart. His future is limitless, and he's barely a good match for you," Old Master Bai said with a smile.
"Hmm, barely passable!" Su Niannian smiled as well.
At the entrance, Guo Futian was about to go in, but after thinking about it, he decided it was better not to disturb the time the grandfather and grandson spent together.
So he pulled a chair aside and sat down to wait.
More than an hour later, the medicinal meal prepared for Su Niannian was finally ready.
Guo Futian took it and personally carried it inside.
Su Niannian started eating under her grandfather's supervision.
Guo Futian also let Grandpa Bai eat some with him. There was nothing in it that could help with pregnancy, but it was all about strengthening the body and boosting immunity.
Therefore, even if Su Niannian is pregnant with twins, it will not cause the fetuses to grow larger than normal.
After the grandfather and grandson finished eating, it was already past 2 p.m.
"Grandpa, I'll be going now. You go ahead with your work. I'm going to buy some things and then take the military compound's shuttle bus back."
"I'll come see you again next time," Su Niannian said with a smile.
"Why take the compound's car? I'll take you home."
"Besides, you need to buy things, I'll go with you." Old Master Bai felt that everything else was trivial compared to Su Niannian.
No, nothing can compare to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian couldn't refuse her grandfather, so she had no choice but to go to the supply and marketing cooperative with him.
Grandpa Bai bought a lot of meat for Su Niannian, all of them leaner cuts.
After all, Grandpa Bai didn't want Su Niannian to gain weight too quickly.
I also bought some rice, wheat flour, millet, and other refined grains.
I also bought some chicken eggs and goose eggs.
"That's enough, that's enough. It's too hot to keep them fresh." Su Niannian quickly refused as she saw her grandfather buying more and more.
“The Gu family has a lot of members. If you eat some, they will also need to eat some.”
"If you buy too little, you'll be reluctant to eat it, and then it'll be all over."
"No need to save money for Grandpa, Grandpa has plenty of money," Grandpa Bai said proudly.
Money is something you can't take with you when you're born or when you die, so of course you should spend it when it's time to spend it.
Guo Futian accompanied him throughout, his hands covered with things.
Just as Old Master Bai realized that Guo Futian was about to be completely covered by the object, he finally stopped.
"Let's buy these for today, we can buy the rest later." Grandpa Bai finally stopped buying.
Su Niannian smiled helplessly; her grandfather actually wanted to buy more in the future…
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Guo Futian felt like he had come back to life when he put his things in his car.
While they were inside, Su Niannian offered to help Guo Futian carry it, but Guo Futian dared not.
Even when Old Master Bai offered to help Guo Futian get it, he refused.
As a result, Guo Futian has become a mobile shelf.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Niannian thought that there probably wouldn't be a chance to get a rice threshing machine today.
I can only go into the space later and use the stone mill to grind out a little rice.
"Niannian, get in the car quickly, Grandpa will take you home." Grandpa Bai urged as he saw Su Niannian standing there in a daze.
Su Niannian smiled and agreed, then got into the car with Grandpa Bai.
Guo Futian, who had just transformed into a shelf, started the car and drove towards the military compound.
Old Master Bai's car was registered in the military compound, and everyone knew he was an old friend of Commander Lu. There was no obstruction, and he drove straight in.
Upon arriving at the Gu family's gate, Zhao Tian, Gu's mother Gu Ningning, also helped unload the goods.
Seeing so much stuff, Gu's mother felt very embarrassed and decided to leave it blank for the old man to have dinner at home that evening.
Grandpa Bai naturally wouldn't refuse, after all, he would be happy to be by his granddaughter's side.
Meanwhile, Gu Nan and his group had arrived in Jin City and met up with the locals.
The deal is set for tonight after 10 p.m.
Everyone is preparing for tonight's events!
