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

Huang Yingying, on the other hand, stood there, bewildered in the wind.

"I can pay more!" Huang Yingying shouted again at Gu Nan's retreating figure.

No response.

Gu Nan made the cabinet for Su Niannian, not for money!

This person is crazy!

Gu Nan went straight home.

After I got home, I rinsed myself off with water.

After all, I worked hard all morning and was covered in sweat.

Su Niannian will be here soon; maybe there will be a chance for some fun.

She's such a clean person, it wouldn't be good if she disliked her own smell.

Thinking of this, Gu Nan couldn't suppress the smile on his lips again.

At this moment, Gu Ningning and her mother watched as Gu Nan was wringing out a towel with a smile on his face.

"Niannian is such a good girl to our family."

When Gu Ningning returned in the morning, she told her mother everything that had happened at the threshing ground.

Gu's mother was very touched and grew to like Su Niannian more and more.

"I feel that Second Brother's change is very likely because of Sister Niannian!" Gu Ningning said, hands on her hips, looking in Gu Nan's direction, like a little adult.

"Don't say these things to anyone. Niannian has been so good to our family, we can't let it affect her reputation."

In this era, reputation is especially important for a girl.

"But this morning I saw my second brother looking at Sister Niannian and secretly laughing."

Gu Ningning thought for a moment and continued.

“I felt that my second brother’s eyes were shining when he looked at Sister Niannian! I’ve never seen him like that before.”

In truth, Gu's mother also wished that Su Niannian, this young girl, could be with her son.

That's right, given her family's current situation, they really aren't a good match for Su Niannian.

However, putting aside her family background, she truly admired her son.

If Su Niannian could disregard everything else and be with Gu Nan, it would truly be a stroke of good fortune!

By this time, Gu Nan had tidied himself up and changed into clean clothes.

There were also many wooden planks piled up in the yard, which were to be used to make cabinets for Su Niannian.

Now that there's some time, Gu Nan needs to hurry up and make the cabinet that Su Niannian wanted.

If... that educated youth Song wasn't a man, Gu Nan could have helped her make a cabinet.

Before long, the cabinet on Gu Nan's side had already taken shape.

Gu Nan had been to that educated youth settlement before and knew that the space inside wasn't very large, so Gu Nan strictly followed the dimensions Su Niannian gave him and didn't make it any bigger.

I'm also worried that if it's too big, there won't be enough space to put it.

Meanwhile, Su Niannian was still weeding in the field.

“You don’t need to work so hard. I’ll help you with more things later,” Song Zhaodi said to Su Niannian.

The sun was so strong that Song Zhaodi felt sorry for Su Niannian, whose face was flushed.

Su Niannian looked up and saw that once the whole row was pulled out, that should be three work points.

"I only need to do three work points today, and there's still this row left." Su Niannian wasn't trying to take advantage of Song Zhaodi.

Song Zhaodi felt she owed Su Niannian too much. If she wasn't even allowed to do this little bit of work, Su Niannian would probably feel uneasy eating her food in the future.

"It's nothing, you go and rest first, I'll take care of it for you in a bit." Song Zhaodi waved to Su Niannian and told her to rest under the shade of a tree.

"Don't do too much work, just three work points a day is enough. I'll leave your lunch here, I'll go check on how the cabinets we're making are going."

Su Niannian left Song Zhaodi two cornbread buns, some pickled vegetables, and a pot of water, and informed Song Zhaodi of this.

He left with a smile.

Cornmeal steamed buns are much better than the dark flour and buckwheat pancakes that others eat.

Moreover, there was also the sweetened spring water, which was enough to restore Song Zhaodi's strength.

Su Niannian carried her basket on her back and happily headed towards Gu Nan's house.

When Su Niannian arrived at Gu Nan's place, Gu's mother had just finished preparing lunch.

He quickly invited Su Niannian over for dinner.

I made a simple bok choy soup, some braised pork from yesterday, and rice.

Because Gu Nan said that Su Niannian would be coming later.

Rice is not something the Gu family eats often.

Thinking that Su Niannian wouldn't have a chance to eat rice during her trip to the countryside, Gu's mother steamed rice for her.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Su Niannian smiled and helped serve the rice.

"What are you saying? You bought this rice yourself." The more Gu's mother thought about it, the better she felt about this young girl.

"I'll go get some rice for my older brother." Gu Ningning came over with a large bowl.

"Let me do it." Su Niannian took the bowl from Gu Ningning's hand.

He filled the bowl with rice, then added a lot of braised meat, and finally ladled in a large spoonful of the braised meat broth.

The broth poured over the braised meat gives it a glossy sheen, making it look even more appetizing.

He ladled out another bowl of bok choy soup and handed it to Gu Ningning.

"Sister Niannian, I want to eat like this too!" Gu Ningning looked at the food in her hand and unconsciously swallowed.

Su Niannian's cooking skills were quite good; this was even more delicious than the braised pork rice bowls of later generations.

Su Niannian smiled and nodded, and Gu Ningning went to deliver food to her older brother.

When Gu Ningning returned, the four of them sat down to eat together.

Su Niannian also made a bowl of rice with toppings for Gu Ningning.

Every grain of rice was soaked in the broth from the braised meat, and the aroma was irresistible. Gu Ningning ate them one by one without making a sound.

Rice and soup were still stuck to the corners of his mouth.

Su Niannian wiped Gu Ningning's mouth and told her to eat slowly.

Gu's mother also had a smile on her face.

"This braised pork offal is even more flavorful, it's really delicious." Gu Ningning said with a smile, eating with great satisfaction.

"If you like it, eat more. I'll go to the county to buy some more in a couple of days and cook some more." Su Niannian smiled, happy that her cooking skills had been recognized.

Looking at Gu Nan, Su Niannian noticed the smile on his lips even though he was eating with his head down.

Su Niannian smiled even more happily.

Seeing the two of them like this, Gu's mother felt as if her suspicions had been confirmed.

He also had a smile on his face.

Ever since Su Niannian came here, the Gu family seems to have changed.

After the meal, Su Niannian took Gu's mother's pulse.

She noticed that Gu's mother's condition had improved a lot, but the improvement was a bit too fast.

I think we should dilute the spiritual spring water a little more.

Otherwise, Su Niannian felt that Gu's mother's condition would improve significantly in a few days.

Last time Su Niannian went to the county town, she originally wanted to buy a set of acupuncture needles, but they were not sold there.

Now it seems that buying needles isn't so urgent anymore; we can buy them whenever we go to the city.

"How is Mother's illness?" Gu Nan asked when he saw that Su Niannian hadn't spoken.
