Chapter 161 Something's not right!
"These two kids eat pretty fast," Gu's mother said with a smile.
Because the table was small, Baozi and Gu Ningning each grabbed a small stool and sat down to eat.
They were eating the steamed buns with gusto, and wouldn't even drink the fish soup offered to them.
Looking at his family and friends eating together with laughter, Gu Nan felt that life was still wonderful.
It's not as monotonous and tasteless as before.
Finally, Gu Nan's gaze fell on Su Niannian.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Su Niannian was still as beautiful as ever, just like when they first met, dazzling and attracting his attention.
This lovely young lady will become his bride the day after tomorrow.
Although it all seems like a dream, it actually happened.
Gu Nan's smile reached his eyes.
Su Niannian felt Gu Nan's gaze fall on her and couldn't help but look up at him.
Su Niannian smiled deeply as she looked at the man she loved most.
That's great, after tomorrow they will be husband and wife.
In this life, Su Niannian won that man over very early on.
In this life, they have enough time to spend together and love each other, which is wonderful.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, and a happy expression appeared on everyone's face.
Delicious food can heal everything.
Gu's mother, Aunt Zhou, and Widow Wu agreed to come and help tomorrow at noon. Aunt Zhou will also call a few more familiar aunties to come and help.
After all, tomorrow night is the wedding banquet, and although the dishes aren't as elaborate as the main banquet, quite a few people will still come to eat.
There's still a lot to do.
Meanwhile, Li Ergou and Gu Nan were already going door to door borrowing tables, chairs, benches, bowls, and chopsticks.
This is also in preparation for the banquet.
As for Su Niannian, she didn't need Gu Nan to escort her today because Song Zhaodi was by her side.
"When Gu Nan and Li Ergou went out to borrow chairs and benches just now, look at the way you looked at them, oh, you were so reluctant to leave." Song Zhaodi walked next to Su Niannian, nudged her with her elbow, and said with a deep smile.
Su Niannian smiled upon hearing this.
"You can stay at the educated youth settlement for two more days. You're getting married the day after tomorrow, and I'm really going to miss you." Song Zhaodi's smile faded as she murmured.
"What are you saying? We're still in the same village, so why are you afraid you won't have a chance to see me?" Su Niannian said with a smile, then patted Song Zhaodi's bottom.
"Then I'll be left with those two in one room, and I feel disgusted whenever I see them." Song Zhaodi felt a headache coming on just thinking about how, after Su Niannian got married, she would be left alone in that room with Huang Yingying and Zhao Sulan.
"Zhao Sulan should move out with Lu Xingguang soon, as for Huang Yingying..." Su Niannian suddenly thought, this girl probably won't behave herself these next few days.
After all, she really wanted Gu Nan, and thinking of this, Su Niannian couldn't help but feel that she had to be on guard.
Huang Yingying might do something desperate in the last two days and cause some trouble.
After the two returned to the educated youth settlement, Su Niannian lay on her long-unused bed.
Su Niannian didn't get a proper rest during the past few days away from home.
Lying down like this, I felt my whole body relax.
Huang Yingying and Zhao Sulan were both absent, and it was unclear what they had gone about.
Song Zhaodi knew that Su Niannian was probably exhausted these past two days, so she prepared hot water for Su Niannian to wash up.
Su Niannian didn't want to move at all, but seeing that Song Zhaodi had even prepared hot water for her, she smiled and got up to wash up.
When she was washing up, Zhao Sulan returned looking exhausted.
He came back with Lu Xingguang and a few other male educated youths.
Zhao Sulan's complexion was noticeably unpleasant, and she looked exhausted.
When Zhao Sulan saw Su Niannian return, she couldn't help but glare at her.
Su Niannian felt innocent; why was this guy glaring at her?
Song Zhaodi came out of the house at this time and saw Zhao Sulan, who looked a bit disheveled, so she quickly stepped aside to let her pass.
"What's wrong with her?" Su Niannian asked Song Zhaodi, who had just arrived.
"I'm just tired," Song Zhaodi said.
Then I briefly explained the situation of the past two days to Su Niannian.
It turns out that during the two days that Su Niannian was away, Zhao Sulan tried to please Lu Xingguang because Lu Xingguang was a bit cold towards her.
After all, the two had only been married for a short time and should have been enjoying a blissful marriage, but Lu Xingguang didn't seem to pay much attention to Zhao Sulan.
This puzzled Zhao Sulan.
So these past two days, whenever Lu Xingguang went to work at the old house, Zhao Sulan would go with him.
In order to please Lu Xingguang, Zhao Sulan kept working non-stop.
This can be considered a significant change for Lu Xingguang, after all, Zhao Sulan has always been a lazy and gluttonous person.
However, Zhao Sulan's efforts were not appreciated by Lu Xingguang.
Lu Xingguang also complained that Zhao Sulan didn't stand at attention while working and wasn't efficient in her work.
For some reason, he disliked Zhao Sulan even more.
Zhao Sulan felt very sorry for herself, and even wondered if Huang Yingying had seduced Lu Xingguang.
This has made Lu Xingguang no longer care about himself.
These past two days, whenever Zhao Sulan runs into Huang Yingying, she makes trouble for her.
Huang Yingying initially tolerated everything, but later, for some reason, she started to go against Zhao Sulan.
The two of them argue as soon as they meet, even over the smallest things, it's so annoying.
Listening to Song Zhaodi's words, Su Niannian couldn't help but think that Huang Yingying's change might be because the news of her marriage to Gu Nan had spread, causing Huang Yingying's mental state to collapse, which was why she was behaving abnormally.
Otherwise, Huang Yingying wouldn't have clashed with Zhao Sulan, since Huang Yingying was also one of the culprits for what happened that night.
After washing up, the two went back to their room. Zhao Sulan, contrary to her usual behavior, had already gone to bed.
There were even intermittent snoring sounds coming from inside; they were truly exhausted.
Seeing this, Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi decided not to continue chatting and lay down to prepare for sleep.
However, Su Niannian was a little bothered by the fact that Huang Yingying had not returned yet, so she just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, waiting to see if Huang Yingying would cause any trouble.
It wasn't until late at night that Su Niannian heard a noise at the door.
A moment later, Huang Yingying pushed the door open and came in.
Because Zhao Sulan was sleeping next to Huang Yingying, and Huang Yingying came in without turning on her flashlight, the lighting was poor.
He accidentally bumped into Zhao Sulan when he got onto the kang (heated brick bed).
Zhao Sulan's foot was pinned down, and she let out a loud scream, which woke up Song Zhaodi as well.
Su Niannian pretended to have been woken up by the noise and sat up.
"Are you crazy? Going out partying in the middle of the night, and then deliberately stepping on my foot when you get back?"
"If you're going to act crazy, go outside and act crazy, or go find your wild man to sleep with, don't bother others, okay?" Zhao Sulan's voice had recovered, and she no longer spoke in a muffled tone.
