He stopped refusing and started eating heartily.

After finishing the steamed buns, Su Niannian took the water bottle and handed it to Gu Nan, worried that he might be thirsty.

"Don't worry, it's not the kettle that Baozi and Baozi's mother drank from." Su Niannian blinked at Gu Nan.

Gu Nan took the water bottle and drank two sips.

Then Su Niannian took out two oil paper packages from her bag and led Gu Nan toward Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu.

"Secretary Jiang, Brother Zhou, Gu Nan and I just bought some meat buns outside. You probably haven't eaten lunch either, so have something to eat first."

Su Niannian smiled and handed over the oil paper package in her hand.

Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu exchanged a glance, but neither of them reached out to take it.

These oil-paper packages clearly belong to state-run restaurants.

Inside state-run restaurants, a meat bun cost 18 cents and required a ration coupon.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare spend money to buy this kind of thing to eat, so how could they possibly eat the meat buns that Su Niannian bought?

"Gu Nan and I have already eaten. We've already bought the buns, so they won't taste good if they get cold."

"Don't be so polite," Su Niannian said with a smile. She knew perfectly well why the two of them wouldn't accept her meat buns.

So, they simply stuffed the two oil paper packets into their hands.

"Then we'll give you the money," Jiang Aiguo said, reaching for his wallet.

Zhou Daniu also had to pay. Although he would never normally buy meat buns, Su Niannian had already bought them, so he certainly couldn't just take them for free.

"You're too kind..." Su Niannian naturally wouldn't accept their money.

But both Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu acted as if they wouldn't eat unless they were paid.

"You guys eat," Gu Nan, who was standing next to Su Niannian, said.

Then he nodded to the two of them and pulled Su Niannian to sit down on a chair next to him.

Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu were both stunned by Gu Nan's actions.

What's happening here?

Did you read that correctly?

Did Gu Nan hold Su Niannian's hand?

Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu both looked at Gu Nan with knowing glances.

Gu Nan's lips curled up into a smile as if he had found money, and he nodded slightly.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Are you two dating?" Zhou Daniu finally asked.

Su Niannian and Gu Nan exchanged a smile and then responded.

"Yes."

"Ah."

Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu were completely dumbfounded.

In their eyes, Xiao Su, the educated youth, was naturally a very outstanding individual.

However, Gu Nan's family background is indeed not very good.

In those days, having a bad family background was a huge stain on one's reputation.

But setting aside his background, Gu Nan is indeed a very good person.

Regardless of physique, appearance, or ability.

They are all top-notch.

This is someone who can kill two wild boars with his bare hands; in terms of combat prowess alone, he already surpasses all the men in the village.

Moreover, he did quite well in the army before he was discharged and returned to his village.

To become a regimental commander at the age of twenty is a sign of a very promising future.

Unfortunately, Gu Nan's future was ruined because of his father's affair.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Nan really felt a little sorry.

But since Su Niannian is willing to date Gu Nan, she must have her own reasons...

Jiang Aiguo could understand why two outstanding young people were drawn together.

Zhou Daniu, on the other hand, was extremely grateful to Su Niannian for saving his child.

Now that Su Niannian is going to be with Gu Nan, whose family background is considered problematic, she can't help but feel a little worried.

"Little Su, the educated youth...you." Before Zhou Daniu could finish speaking, Su Niannian had already guessed what he wanted to say.

“Gu Nan is great, I like him very much.” Su Niannian said with a smile, her tone full of determination.

She turned to look at Gu Nan, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Gu Nan sat next to Su Niannian, and his lips curved into a smile because of Su Niannian's sudden confession.

Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu had rarely seen Gu Nanxiao, and had never even seen him smile.

It now seems that Gu Nan genuinely likes Su Niannian.

Gu Nan felt happy because of Su Niannian's words.

In that case, all they could do was offer their blessings.

"I hope you two will have a happy and fulfilling life together in the future."

"Thank you," Gu Nan said, still not being very talkative with strangers.

"We'll treat you to wedding candy when we get married!" Su Niannian said generously and without any hesitation.

Gu Nan's smile deepened upon hearing Su Niannian's words.

His little girl would occasionally say things that would make Gu Nan's heart flutter.

At that moment, Widow Wu's voice came from inside the ward.

"You guys eat first, Gu Nan and I will go see her." Su Niannian pulled Gu Nan and ran from the corridor to Widow Wu's ward.

Because Su Niannian heard Widow Wu crying and calling for steamed buns.

Jiang Aiguo and Zhou Daniu, not wanting to eat anything at this time, quickly followed the two into the ward.

"Steamed buns...steamed buns!!"

"Mommy's child, where's Baozi??"

"How did I end up in the hospital? Where's my steamed bun?"

When Widow Wu woke up, she found herself surrounded by white walls and smelled of disinfectant.

Seeing the IV needle in my hand, I realized I was in a hospital.

Hospitals are places that burn through money.

If she had that money, Widow Wu would definitely want to treat her son, how could she possibly use it to treat herself?

The IV needle had been removed by Widow Wu.

Widow Wu's foot was already on her own shoe, and she immediately wanted to go find her son.

"Baozi's mother, don't worry, Baozi is fine now."

"Finish this IV drip at the hospital first, then I'll take you back to the village to find Baozi." Su Niannian sat on Widow Wu's hospital bed, her hands on Widow Wu's shoulders.

I wanted to calm her down.

Su Niannian's voice was gentle. When Widow Wu heard Su Niannian say that her steamed buns were alright now, her eyes widened in surprise.

Seemingly incredulous, he quickly grabbed Su Niannian's arm.

"You, are you telling the truth?"

"My child, my steamed bun, is everything really alright?" Widow Wu could be heard asking, her voice filled with agitation.

"Yes, it's alright, I promise you!" Su Niannian assured her, continuing to reassure Widow Wu.

Gradually, Widow Wu finally believed Su Niannian's words.

I believe my steamed bun is fine now.

"Then, I want to go find my Baozi now, I want to see him." Although Su Niannian spoke sincerely, she couldn't put her mind at ease until she saw her son.

"I'll take you to find Baozi after you finish this IV drip." Su Niannian had to make sure Widow Wu finished the IV drip.

Because she had exchanged a lot of spiritual spring water into it.

After the IV drip was finished, Su Niannian believed that Widow Wu's health would improve significantly.

They might even be in better physical condition than before.
