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

Grandpa Bai smiled too.

Su Niannian stuck out her tongue at Grandpa Bai.

The mission here is over, and Zhou Qishan is left here to set up new covert lines and intelligence personnel.

The next day, Shen Tao and his group prepared to return home.

Shen Tao heard that Gu Nan was going to take Old Master Bai to Kaoshan Village for a couple of days.

Concerned for the safety of Old Master Bai and Gu Nan, they left four more soldiers for them.

They are all highly skilled; hopefully, their safety can be guaranteed.

They originally wanted to keep more, but Gu Nan refused.

Four is the limit that Gu Nan can accept.

Shen Tao expressed his respect for this, after all, Gu Nan's abilities are undeniable!

Kaoshan Village is not a dangerous place.

Shen Tao also told Gu Nan that if anything happened in Kaoshan Village, he could go to Long County to find the local police.

Gu Nan said that he was too long-winded.

Although Gu Nan had already asked Chief Lu to let his parents know he was safe when he reported to Chief Lu earlier, Gu Nan had already done so.

However, seeing that Shen Tao had gone back first, Gu Nan still told Shen Tao to go to his home again after returning to Beijing to let his family know that he was safe.

Shen Tao naturally had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.

Shen Tao left Gu Nan a large military jeep, and with Guo Futian's car, there was enough room for all of them.

It's been almost a month since he was discharged, and Tian Guangzhi has been busy taking care of things at the hospital.

During this period, Su Niannian paid him a salary once.

When Tian Guangzhi saw that Su Niannian gave him eighty yuan, his jaw almost dropped.

It's worth noting that the job Tian Guangzhi previously worked for only paid 25 yuan a month.

This is equivalent to more than tripling the price, and he absolutely refused to accept it.

However, Su Niannian said that this was just the beginning, and the money he would earn in the future would be more than he expected.

Tian Guangzhi felt like he was dreaming.

Originally, Su Niannian planned to give Tian Guangzhi more money, but Gu Nan said that it was better not to reveal the situation too early and to give him the current equivalent salary.

We'll give Tian Guangzhi more money when he can generate greater benefits for Su Niannian.

Otherwise, given Tian Guangzhi's personality, he probably wouldn't feel secure even with so much money.

Therefore, the monthly salary was finally set at eighty yuan.

There are many, but not too outrageous.

Su Niannian felt that Gu Nan was a sensible person, which was a good thing.

After Shen Tao left, Gu Nan's two cars also drove towards Kaoshan Village.

Su Niannian had already made up her mind that she planned to talk to Song Zhaodi about reviewing high school academic subjects after she arrived.

After all, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination would be announced on October 21, 1977.

In December of the same year, the college entrance examination, which had been closed for ten years, was reopened.

If Song Zhaodi wanted to, she could take advantage of the resumption of the college entrance examination to change her fate.

Of course, it also depends on whether Song Zhaodi wants to go to university. After all, when Su Niannian left Kaoshan Village, she and Li Ergou already had signs of developing a relationship!

After driving for more than five hours, we entered Long County.

Su Niannian bought a lot of things at the supply and marketing cooperative, intending to give them to her good friends when she got back.

Su Niannian is now five months pregnant, and her belly is noticeably protruding.

Behind them stood Gu Nan, Tian Guangzhi, and Guo Futian, resembling three walking Christmas trees.

He was covered in things.

Grandpa Bai and the four soldiers were resting in the car outside.

When the group returned to the car after buying their things, the four soldiers were quite surprised.

Is this how you buy things...?

After loading everything onto the car, the vehicle drove off again, heading towards Kaoshan Village.

It was a little past three in the afternoon, and the group arrived at Kaoshan Village at four o'clock.

Just then, we saw Grandpa Jiang driving his oxcart back home at the village entrance.

Grandpa Jiang saw unfamiliar military vehicles appear at the entrance of the village.

I thought something had happened to someone's family, so I kept my eyes on the vehicles.

As a result, the two front doors of the car were seen to open.

Gu Nan and Su Niannian got out of the car.

For a moment, Grandpa Jiang thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes.

After it was confirmed that Gu Nan and Su Niannian were involved, Grandpa Jiang greeted them with a smile.

"Uncle Jiang, have you missed me?" Su Niannian greeted him with a smile.

Seeing Su Niannian's happy expression, Grandpa Jiang smiled happily as well.

"Little Su, the educated youth! It's been so long! I've missed you! I've missed you, Grandpa Jiang!" Grandpa Jiang said with a smile.

At this moment, the people who had just gotten off Grandpa Jiang's oxcart also saw Su Niannian and Gu Nan.

Gu Nan, dressed in military uniform, exuded an imposing aura.

He was completely different from the rough, unrefined man he used to be when he worked in the fields in the village.

However, that indifferent and calm demeanor is still quite similar.

Upon seeing Su Niannian's protruding belly, several older women who knew her came up to greet her.

There were two female educated youths remaining at the educated youth settlement.

Although he wasn't particularly close to Su Niannian, he still came over with a smile and curiously looked her over.

Su Niannian asked Gu Nan to bring down the gift she had prepared for Grandpa Jiang.

When it was handed to Grandpa Jiang, he refused to accept it no matter what.

"Little Su, what are you doing? You're back, why did you bring me all this stuff?"

"You're pregnant, you can't spend money recklessly." Grandpa Jiang refused to accept the money no matter what.

When Su Niannian and the Gu family went to Beijing before, they left them a lot of things.

What was given to Grandpa Jiang was cured meat and some snacks.

The pastries were all soft and fluffy, perfect for the elderly couple.

None of these were cheap items, and Grandpa Jiang and his wife already felt they owed Su Niannian something.

How could I possibly want anything from Su Niannian...?

Isn't this just taking advantage of others?

"Uncle Jiang, you and Aunt Jiang came to see me off on my wedding day. You were already part of my family. How come you're no longer part of my family just because I've been gone for a few months?"

"If Gu Nan bullies me in the future, I'll still be counting on you to back me up!" Su Niannian said with a straight face and her chin raised.

“This…” Grandpa Jiang listened to Su Niannian’s words and looked at Gu Nan.

"Goodness! Gu Nan is the kind of person who dotes on his wife. Would he bully you? You're already being kind by not bullying him." Grandpa Jiang inadvertently spoke the truth.

Su Niannian glanced at Gu Nan, at his cold yet harmless face.

It seems... what Grandpa Jiang said wasn't wrong.

Wait, when did I ever bully Gu Nan?

"Uncle Jiang, hurry! Take it, I still have to deliver things to other people!" Su Niannian gave Gu Nan a look.

Gu Nan placed the things in Grandpa Jiang's car.

Grandpa Jiang still wanted to decline.

But seeing Su Niannian's angry expression if she refused again, he realized that Su Niannian was about to get angry.

Grandpa Jiang could only smile and accept it.
