After hearing Gu Ningning's words, Gu Nan suddenly realized something.

Was it because I was too silent when I took the girl back to her former educated youth settlement yesterday, and she spoke to me?

She even wondered if she disliked her...

I didn't answer.

Perhaps that's why she got angry?

The more Gu Nan thought about it, the more likely this was the reason.

Su Niannian has been going in and out of the kitchen several times, talking to her mother and sister, but ignoring her.

Gu Nan felt a little uncomfortable after the little girl's actions.

Putting down the wooden board in his hand, Gu Nan walked into the kitchen somewhat awkwardly.

Seeing that the little girl was busy cutting up the pig offal and still ignoring him, he realized that the girl was busy cutting up the pig offal and still ignoring him.

"Ahem, the dimensions of that cabinet..." Gu Nan started to make conversation.

Her voice was a little hoarse, but that only made Su Niannian more attracted to it.

Su Niannian took a piece of paper out of her pocket and slapped it directly onto the wooden table near Gu Nan.

They continued cutting up the pig offal.

This time, Gu Nan was completely bewildered.

She... was really angry.

But this is for the best.

This way you can stay away from yourself, right?

Then I won't have to worry about being a burden to her!

Gu Nan's eyes darkened, and he took the measurements and turned to leave.

"You dog of a man! You big jerk!" Su Niannian couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly and curse.

After boiling water, blanch the pork offal twice, then Su Niannian adds seasonings and starts braising the offal.

During this period, Gu Nan did not come in again.

Gu's mother offered to come and help, but Su Niannian refused.

Once the Chinese medicine is ready.

Su Niannian poured a bowl out and gave it to Gu's mother.

After drinking the Chinese medicine, Gu's mother felt a sense of comfort throughout her body.

It tasted even better than the chicken soup I had last night.

I feel like my breathing has become much easier after drinking this bowl of Chinese medicine.

I no longer have that itchy throat that makes me want to cough.

"Niannian, this medicine is truly miraculous! I feel like it's already working after just one bowl." Gu's mother couldn't suppress her smile.

When Gu Ningning heard her mother say this, she hurried over to see.

It was visibly that my mother's complexion had improved.

Gu Nan listened to what was being said, glanced at the paper, and then began cutting the wooden board according to the dimensions on it.

There's always a feeling of unease in my heart.

It's a good thing that the girl is staying away from me, but why do I feel so empty and sad inside?

Su Niannian was taking Gu's mother's pulse at this moment.

Then Su Niannian's eyes lit up.

I originally thought that with this medicine and the spiritual spring water, it would take at least a few months to cure the disease.

But after taking this bowl of medicine, the patient's pulse actually changed.

It seems the effects of the spiritual spring water are more powerful than she imagined.

"Judging from this, it should get better in less than a month."

Upon hearing this, both Gu's mother and Gu Ningning were overjoyed.

Even Gu Nan, who was working nearby, couldn't help but be stunned.

If it's really as the little girl says, that would be wonderful.

At this moment, the aroma of braised meat wafted out.

"Sister Niannian, this smells so good! Is this really the smell of pig offal?" Gu Ningning was a little incredulous.

This smells better than pork, so how can it smell like unwanted pig offal?

Mother Gu also found it strange; the aroma was so wonderful, it was even more fragrant than the chicken soup from last night.

Although Gu Nan could smell the fragrance, he was preoccupied with the fact that the girl was ignoring him, so he had no interest in smelling the fragrance.

It was dinnertime, and the neighbors next door, standing in their yard, could also smell the delicious aroma.

"What's going on with the Gu family? Are they planning to eat all the wild boar meat they were allocated yesterday in the next couple of days?"

"They don't know how to manage money. They're not even planning to save this meat to eat slowly."

The neighbor next door felt that the cornbread and wild vegetable soup in his hand no longer tasted good.

For the past two days, the smell coming from the Gu family's house has been so delicious, it's unbearable!

But there was nothing he could do. It was common knowledge that Gu Nan was skilled in combat. He couldn't say that Gu Nan wasn't good at hunting, even if he himself was.

Even if they don't catch wild boars, they often hunt pheasants and rabbits, and there's always a pleasant aroma coming from there. But these past two days, the smell has been just too wonderful.

The other side is the neighbor's house, Old Wang's house.

"No! Old man! This doesn't taste like pheasant or rabbit, it tastes like pork!"

"If the Gu family manages to catch pork, they have to hand it over to the brigade; they can't keep it for themselves! That would be poaching!"

When Gu Nan heard his wife say that, the old man from the Wang family next door rolled his eyes on his thin, wrinkled face.

"That's what happened!"

Thinking that Old Wang had put the bowl of corn porridge he was holding on the wooden table, he got up and went out to take a look.

Just as he reached the door, Old Man Wang suddenly remembered something.

"Gu Nan just hunted a wild boar yesterday, and he got quite a lot of meat. This should be the meat we got yesterday!"

Old Mrs. Wang also remembered, but the 1.5 jin of meat they received had already been made into cured meat, which they planned to cut into two slices each time during the busy farming season to replenish their sons' energy.

"Sigh!" Old Mrs. Wang sighed helplessly, and Old Mr. Wang returned to continue eating his corn porridge.

Just then, Li Ergou happened to come looking for Gu Nan. He had just reached the vicinity of Gu Nan's house when he was attracted by the smell of meat and couldn't move.

When they arrived at Gu Nan's house, they happened to see Gu Nan's family preparing for dinner.

Su Niannian was holding a bowl of braised meat, which she had just placed on the table.

"Why is Su Zhiqing here too?" Li Ergou's eyes lit up when he saw Su Niannian.

He quickly walked over.

He was initially drawn in by the aroma of the braised meat, but upon seeing Su Niannian, he completely forgot about the smell.

Su Niannian nodded to Li Ergou.

"I came to see Aunt Gu. I'd like to borrow her pot to stew some offal," Su Niannian said with a smile.

"Ergou is here. Come on, sit down and eat with us."

"This is the pork offal that Niannian made, it's so delicious!" Gu's mother went to the kitchen and brought out another set of bowls and chopsticks.

Invite Li Ergou to eat together.

To be honest, in those days, very few people would eat at someone else's house, because every family was short of food.

Although Li Ergou and Gu Nan have a good relationship, he usually doesn't eat at Gu Nan's house.

But the smell today is just too wonderful.

In particular, Li Ergou heard that the aroma came from pig offal.

In Li Ergou's memory, that thing was not a delicious treat.

Li Ergou stood there scratching his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Besides a large bowl of braised pork offal, there was also a stir-fried pork belly dish on the table.

The aroma of scallions combined with the fragrance of pork belly is simply mouthwatering.

This is the pork belly that Gu Nan was going to give to Su Niannian yesterday, but Su Niannian gave it back to him. Just now in the kitchen, Su Niannian cut off a portion and stir-fried it.
