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

"It's a bit too flamboyant," Su Niannian whispered to Gu Nan, sounding a little worried.

"With Grandpa here, everything will be alright!" Gu Nan patted Su Niannian to reassure her.

It's common knowledge that Mr. Bai is wealthy.

It was also out of consideration that this was the full moon celebration for the Gu family's child; otherwise, Grandpa Bai would probably have booked a state-run hotel to celebrate the birthdays of his two great-grandchildren.

The meal was a delightful one for both the host and guests.

Even Gu Zhendong, who was in charge of collecting the gifts, was quite shocked.

When Mr. Bai's friends come to give gifts, the minimum is at least one hundred yuan.

The amount of money given as a gift was very large, equivalent to several months' wages for a worker.

Old Qian, Lü Hongliang, Jiang Fangyuan, and the others put the bill on Su Niannian's side, and the amount they actually gave was five hundred yuan, which was something Gu Zhendong never expected.

Five hundred dollars!! Five hundred dollars in 1977!!

Those who originally planned to give a gift of two or five yuan all doubled their amount.

Five or ten yuan at a time.

The gifts from Gu Nan's comrades couldn't even come close to what Su Niannian's side could offer.

After discussing it with Zhao Tian, ​​Gu Zhendong also contributed 500 yuan.

The amount of money involved in the gift money alone is astonishing.

After the meal, the guests left one by one; those who left were all people who still had work to do.

The remaining people, seeing that Chief Lu and Grandpa Bai were there, stayed to say a few more words and strengthen their bond.

It's definitely not a bad thing to have more contact with people like that.

During the meal, Su Niannian and Gu Nan each took one of the babies out for a walk.

The child is still young, and even if someone teases him a little, I don't dare to touch him directly.

These are two precious children; no one dares to have too much contact with them.

After most of the guests had left, the family finally had a reunion dinner together.

The people helping in the kitchen also reserved a table for them.

After finishing their meal, Lao Qian and Lü Hongliang, along with their men, packed up their belongings, including the tables, chairs, benches, bowls, chopsticks, and plates they had brought, and loaded them into the car.

These things need to be taken back after use.

"Then we won't keep you from your reunion any longer. We've packed our things, so we'll be leaving now," Old Qian said to Su Niannian.

Su Niannian pulled Gu Nan aside and expressed her gratitude once again.

"You're too kind. By the way, these two are for the children," said Lü Hongliang, handing two small wooden boxes to Su Niannian.

Su Niannian opened them and took a look; they were two gold locks.

It's quite heavy when you hold it in your hand.

It's solid and worth a lot of money.

"We've already helped so much, and you're still giving me this..." Su Niannian felt a little embarrassed.

"It should!"

"Don't be so polite."

Old Qian and Lü Hongliang greeted the others and then left.

Both Chief Lu and Old Master Bai drank quite a bit of alcohol at noon.

The two also talked about the traditional "grasping ceremony" for their child's first birthday.

"If you ask me, when preparing for a baby's first birthday celebration, you should definitely prepare a gun!"

"I just think that men should join the army to defend their country!" Commander Lu said, taking a big gulp of wine and pointing at Old Master Bai with his glass.

"Hmm? Being a soldier is too dangerous. Studying medicine is better!" Old Master Bai replied.

The two old gentlemen had flushed cheeks, showing that they had thoroughly enjoyed the drinking session.

"Study medicine? Let Yining study medicine, but Yiqing will definitely join the army!" Chief Lu continued.

"Serving in the army is bad, it's dangerous! How can my precious great-grandson go to the army!" Old Master Bai continued to object.

Over there, Su Niannian and Gu Nan exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.

The baby is only a month old, can't speak or walk, yet the two elders have already started discussing what the baby should do in the future.

"What do you want your child to be when they grow up?" Gu Nan asked Su Niannian, who was sitting next to him, with some curiosity.

He kept his voice very low, intending to ask quietly.

As a result, despite asking in such a low voice, the two old men sitting opposite her noticed.

"Yes! Girl, what do you want your future children to be?" Chief Lu asked, looking at Su Niannian.

Grandpa Bai and everyone else at the table also focused their attention on Su Niannian.

They were also curious about what Su Niannian hoped her child would do when they grew up.

Then Su Niannian showed a big smile.

"I will leave the choice of my children's lives to them, and I will not interfere with their choices."

"They can do whatever they like."

"I would agree to it even if it were just setting up a roadside stall to sell roasted sweet potatoes."

Upon hearing Su Niannian's words, Gu Nan grasped Su Niannian's hand.

Whether it's this era or later generations.

No matter when, parents always hope their children will become successful and outstanding.

To have a good job, to have a good means of making a living.

But Gu Nan hadn't expected Su Niannian to think this way.

In fact, Gu Nan also hoped that in the future, boys could join the army and girls could marry good men.

However, after hearing his wife say that, Gu Nan suddenly felt that it was fine for the children to do whatever they wanted in the future.

After all, it's their own life, and even as their father, Gu Nan shouldn't interfere with their choices.

"But boys should join the army to protect their country!" Commander Lu insisted on his opinion.

Mr. Gu quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"The children are still young, let's talk about it when they're older!"

"Let's eat and drink!" Gu's father said, raising his glass to toast Chief Lu.

The group started drinking again.

Zhao Tian, ​​over there, was touching her belly, also thinking about this question.

What kind of job should my child do in the future?

Zhao Tian simply didn't want her child to live a life of backbreaking labor in the fields.

She wanted her child to have a job that wasn't tiring.

Live happily and joyfully.

The meal didn't end until after 3 p.m.

Commander Lu was so drunk that he could barely walk.

Gu Nan escorted Chief Lu and Old Master Bai back to Chief Lu's home.

Guo Futian and Gao Wentao also stayed there to keep an eye on the two old men.

When Gu Nan returned, the family reunion dinner table had already been cleared away.

Su Niannian was in the room with the two children.

When Gu Nan pushed the door open, he saw Su Niannian make a shushing gesture.

Gu Nan nodded.

I saw two children lying on the heated kang bed, their little faces rosy.

While she was still nibbling on her chubby little hand, I couldn't help but feel a soft spot in my heart being touched.

"Isn't it cute!" Su Niannian whispered to Gu Nan.

Gu Nan hugged Su Niannian beside him and held her in his arms, saying, "No one is as cute as you."

Upon hearing Gu Nan's words, Su Niannian snuggled into his arms and poked his chest with her finger.

The two of them leaned even closer together.

With a family, a wife, and children, Gu Nan felt that he had gained so much this year.
