A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

Gu Nan, however, was taken aback.

In this family, no one knows his mother's illness better than Gu Nan.

Gu Nan had bought medicine for his mother when she had a cough before, and also took her to the county town to see a doctor.

However, medical conditions in the county are limited. They only said there might be some problems with the lungs and suggested going to a large hospital in the city, where they have imaging equipment that can visualize the condition of the lungs.

Gu Nan's mother didn't want to go, so she took medicine at home for a while and also used traditional Chinese medicine to regulate her body, but it didn't have any effect.

Later, Gu Nan contacted a friend who had connections at the city hospital, and then got a referral letter from the brigade, taking his mother to a large city hospital for treatment.

The result was lung cancer... in the middle to late stages.

There is no chance of it being cured.

Gu Nan walked out of the hospital with red eyes that day.

He dared not tell his family, let alone his mother.

Despite taking medication and eating nutritious foods, the doctor said it would take less than a year.

It still stung Gu Nan's heart every moment.

Gu Nan knew that his mother had less than a year to live, but there was nothing he could do.

Now, listening to her sister's words, is it really possible for her to cure their mother?

Are they even better than the doctors in the big hospitals in the city?

Gu Nan couldn't believe it; he was afraid that if he held onto hope, he would be disappointed.

All he could do was make sure his mother lived happily during her final days.

But looking at the girl sitting across from him, with her bright smile and confident expression... Gu Nan's heart wavered.

Who knows, just in case?

Maybe it really will work?

Su Niannian noticed Gu Nan's gaze and they exchanged a glance. She knew then that he must know how serious Gu's mother's illness was.

Respond with a sincere smile.

"Will be fine."

She told him, and he actually believed her.

Very strange feeling.

Gu Nan, unusually, put his previous thoughts aside and nodded with a smile.

A hint of anticipation also appeared in his deep eyes.

Everyone ate a lot during the meal, especially Gu Nan, who rarely eats this much.

After dinner, Su Niannian wanted to help wash the dishes, but Gu Nan took the initiative and took it from her.

He didn't say anything, but started washing the dishes.

"Let him pay, don't be polite with him." Gu's mother grabbed Su Niannian's hand and walked into the yard.

I wanted Su Niannian to sit down and rest for a while.

"No, I have to go back to find Song Zhiqing. We made an appointment to go to the carpenter to order a cabinet."

"And she's still hungry. We're cooking and eating together now."

Su Niannian patted Gu's mother's hand and spoke softly.

"Ordering cabinets? My Gu Nan can do carpentry, let him do it!"

"This will save a lot of money, and there are several good boards behind the woodshed in my backyard, all of which are completely dry. Making cabinets this way will be better than using new boards."

Gu's mother told Su Niannian that she really liked the little girl in front of her.

"Besides, you won't have time to cook when you go back. Why don't you take two cornbreads and some chicken soup from me to take back to that educated youth Song? There's still plenty left."

As Gu's mother spoke, fearing that Su Niannian would refuse, she went to the back and found an aluminum lunchbox, then filled it with chicken soup and potatoes. There were only a few pieces of chicken left, but Gu's mother still filled the lunchbox more than halfway.

I took another piece of oil paper and put two cornbread buns inside. I didn't know if Song Zhiqing was a man or a woman, and I was afraid he wouldn't have enough to eat, so I wrapped three cornbread buns in the paper.

Gu Nan glanced at his mother packing cornbread and felt a pang of unease. Could that Song Zhiqing be a man?

Thinking about it, Gu Nan felt a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps it's not just a little, it's very uncomfortable.

After packing the things, Gu's mother took them out and handed them to Su Niannian.

"What size cabinet do you want? What kind do you want? Tell Gu Nan later. He can make it. He's very skillful!"

Seeing how enthusiastic Gu's mother was, Su Niannian couldn't refuse.

He accepted the lunchbox without any hesitation.

"Thank you, Auntie, you're so kind." Su Niannian said with a smile, her gentle voice melting Gu's mother's heart.

What a nice girl.

The more I look at it, the better it gets; the more I look at it, the rarer it becomes.

Gu Nan finished washing the dishes, wiped his hands, and came out.

"I'll take you back," Gu Nan said calmly, though he actually wanted to find out who this educated youth, Song, really was.

I completely forgot about the problems that had been bothering me while I was eating.

“Okay!” Su Niannian didn’t refuse at all. Only a fool would refuse such a great opportunity to be alone.

Seeing that Su Niannian didn't hesitate to say anything like "No need" or "Don't bother," Gu's mother couldn't stop smiling.

It seems this young girl doesn't dislike Gu Nan at all.

Although I know that Gu Nan is not good enough for such a nice girl, people still yearn for beautiful things.

Gu Nan had anticipated that she would refuse after he told her he would give her the gift, but he didn't expect her to agree so readily.

He took the lunchbox from Su Niannian, picked up his own basket, and then walked outside.

Seeing that Gu Nan had left first, Su Niannian greeted Gu's mother and Gu Ningning, and then quickly followed him out.

"I'll come again tomorrow!"

Gu Nan paused suddenly, then continued walking.

Su Niannian followed behind.

But... Gu Nan is so tall, his legs are longer than her life, he walks really fast.

Su Niannian jogged after her.

Gu Nan realized that he might be walking too fast, so he gradually slowed down.

Seeing the man beside her slow down, Su Niannian felt a warmth in her heart.

"You're really amazing," Su Niannian said admiringly as she walked beside Gu Nan.

Gu Nan was taken aback. What aspect of hers was she referring to when she said "amazing"?

Seeing Gu Nan turn his head to look at him with a puzzled expression, Su Niannian offered an explanation.

"You can even do carpentry?"

Oh... so that's what she meant.

"Hmm." Gu Nan simply hummed in response, and that was the end of it.

“Then I’ll go back and write down the dimensions of the cabinet I’m making and tell you. Song Zhiqing also needs one made. I’ll ask her about the dimensions tonight.”

"Ah."

"I want a larger cabinet, the kind with drawers. Can you make one?"

"Ah."

Seeing his cold reply, Su Niannian slowed her pace even further.

He stood with his hands behind his back, pouting and looking unhappy.

They followed at a distance.

Gu Nan felt the figure beside him disappear, thinking that he wasn't walking very fast either, so where did the person go?

After walking a few more steps, the figure beside me seemed to be even further away... I still couldn't control myself and turned my head to look behind me.

Su Niannian looked a little aggrieved.

My heart tightened involuntarily.

"What's wrong?" Gu Nan stopped, turned around and looked at the small figure continuing to walk towards him, and asked.

Do you... hate me?
