Gu Ningning was incredibly excited; in her eyes, Su Niannian was an exceptionally good person.

If Su Niannian really becomes her second sister-in-law, Gu Ningning would probably be overjoyed.

"Even so, you mustn't go around saying it... As long as they're not married yet, this matter can't be told to outsiders." Gu's mother was also very happy, but this matter still couldn't be told to outsiders so soon.

"I know, I know!" Gu Ningning was so happy she felt like she could fly.

Gu's mother had always thought that Gu Nan would be held back by this family, but now it seems that Gu Nan is really lucky to have found such a wife.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of my eldest son.

"Zhendong is unlucky."

A year ago, Gu Zhendong broke his leg in a fall on the mountain. At first, his eldest daughter-in-law took care of him wholeheartedly.

But just when the doctor clearly stated that Zhendong's legs would be useless in the future.

The eldest daughter-in-law took the money and the child and went back to her parents' home.

Although they haven't gone through the divorce proceedings yet, their intentions are already very clear.

Zhendong's spirits and mood became increasingly depressed due to the departure of his eldest daughter-in-law.

People strive for higher positions, but when disaster strikes, everyone scatters. Mother Gu didn't blame her eldest daughter-in-law; she just felt… a little sorry for her son.

Seeing her mother's expression change from joy to worry, Gu Ningning hugged her again.

“Mom, it’s my sister-in-law’s choice to leave. We’ll just live our lives as a family,” Gu Ningning said.

Su Niannian had also told her this principle: don't make things difficult for yourself because of other people's behavior or opinions.

"Yes, you are all very sensible. Our family will get better." Gu's mother stroked Gu Ningning's head, tears welling in her eyes, but she was still full of hope for the future.

Outside, the two had finished their embrace, and the cabinet that Gu Nan had made for Su Niannian was almost complete.

This cabinet is one meter wide and one and a half meters high, and it is simply made of a few pieces of wood.

The upper part is divided into two layers by a partition, and the lower part has three drawers.

Gu Nan thoughtfully added two doors on top, which can be locked with a single padlock.

Once Gu Nan finishes this cabinet, he can make the one for Song Zhaodi.

That one is even simpler; it doesn't even need a drawer.

The size is the same, but three partitions have been added inside, dividing the cabinet into four parts.

By evening, both cabinets were finished.

Gu Nan called Li Ergou and asked him to drive the donkey cart over.

So we can transport these two cabinets back to the educated youth settlement.

"Su Zhiqing, you've come to the right person for Nan Ge to make your cabinet. None of the carpenters in our village are as skilled as Nan Ge!"

Li Ergou was also a little surprised that Su Zhiqing actually knew that Brother Nan could make cabinets.

Nan Ge was quite unusual; he actually agreed to help Su Zhiqing build the cabinet.

You know, Brother Nan doesn't like to interact with people.

He especially dislikes interacting with young girls.

Previously, some newly arrived educated youths had tried to get close to Brother Nan, but they were all scared away by his aloof demeanor.

Of course, it could also be because his family had a bad class background.

In short, Brother Nan has an unapproachable demeanor.

This time it was quite unusual; he even helped Su, the educated youth, build some kind of cabinet.

"Yes, it was done quickly and well." Su Niannian thought so too.

In her previous life, Gu Nan was an all-rounder in her eyes, as if he could solve any problem.

The only pity is that Gu Nan gave up the idea of ​​returning to the army in order to take care of her.

Many times, Gu Nan would sit alone on the sofa, looking forlorn, and stroke the military medals he had won in the past.

In this life, once the Gu family has shed its negative social class label, she will allow Gu Nan to pursue what he wants anew.

Thinking of this, Su Niannian looked at Gu Nan with anticipation in her eyes.

He must be even more handsome and charming in his military uniform, full of vigor and spirit!

Gu Nan looked up and met Su Niannian's gaze. He saw the shadow of someone else in her eyes again.

My heart ached again.

Gu Nan turned her head away.

Gu Nan and Li Ergou placed the two finished cabinets onto the donkey cart.

The board at the back of the donkey cart wasn't as big as the cabinet, and part of the cabinet was still sticking out.

The two were tied together with hemp rope. Even so, they still needed to hold on to each other to prevent the two from tipping over.

After loading the car, Gu's mother wanted Su Niannian to stay for dinner.

"Auntie, I'll come back tomorrow to brew your medicine again. Come over for dinner tomorrow."

Su Niannian is now cooking with Song Zhaodi, but she often doesn't go home for meals every few days, which doesn't seem right.

So I wanted to go back to the educated youth settlement before dinner.

When Gu's mother heard what Su Niannian said, she stopped trying to persuade her to stay.

Then he quickly went into the kitchen and filled a lunchbox full of braised pork offal for Su Niannian.

"Auntie, keep this for yourself."

"It's getting hot, so it can't be kept for that long, otherwise it will spoil and be a waste."

Although offal is cheap, Su Niannian's cooking is delicious. In this era, it's not easy to have enough to eat, so wasting food is out of the question.

Normally, the food we make is eaten before it spoils.

But this time, Su Niannian made a lot, so even if it really broke, Gu's mother would definitely not be willing to throw it away.

“Okay.” Su Niannian accepted the aluminum lunchbox handed to her by Gu’s mother without any hesitation.

She can make this anytime, it's not troublesome, so there's no need to be polite.

The lunchbox was full, and it weighed more than two pounds.

After saying goodbye, Su Niannian came out of the Gu family's courtyard.

At this moment, Li Ergou was sitting in front of the donkey cart, holding a whip in his hand, while Gu Nan was standing at the back of the donkey cart, holding onto the cabinet.

"Do you want to sit on it?" Gu Nan asked Su Niannian.

Su Niannian shook her head.

There weren't many seats left on the donkey cart to begin with, so if I got on, wouldn't I be sitting next to Li Ergou?

"I'll help you push the cart from behind."

Su Niannian put the lunchbox down and went to Gu Nan's side, holding onto the cabinet.

"Let's go!" Li Ergou said, and drove the donkey cart forward.

Su Niannian walked beside Gu Nan.

I had a feeling that Gu Nan had been acting strangely since the afternoon.

"Are you going to the back mountain again tonight?" Su Niannian asked Gu Nan in a low voice.

"You're not allowed to go." Gu Nan didn't answer Su Niannian, but told her directly that she wasn't allowed to go to the back mountain at night.

“Oh…” Su Niannian replied, drawing out the sound.

Of course I'd go!

Li Ergou looked back quite often along the way.

I always felt that there was a bit too much of a distance between Brother Nan and Su Zhiqing.

It's not just about the physical proximity they're physically close; it's also about the relationship between the two people.

I always felt that the two of them had a very good relationship.

Could Su Zhiqing have fallen for Nan Ge?

Thinking about it, Li Ergou shook his head, shaking the idea out of his mind.

But even if they do like each other, so what? Brother Nan is aloof and unapproachable; there's definitely no chance of anything developing between them.
