Baozi looked at Gu Ningning again, wanting to give one of the steamed buns to Ningning.

"I don't want it. There's other food tonight. This is from Sister Niannian, so you can eat it." Gu Ningning waved her hand.

Although she also likes to eat meat buns, her older sister Niannian had just given her some a few days ago.

Besides, there are other delicious foods to eat tonight. Baozi's family is not as well-off as my own, so let's save this steamed bun for Baozi.

Seeing this, Su Niannian thought to herself that she should have taken more from the hospital.

My backpack isn't very big, and with so many people around, I can't just conjure up steamed buns, can I?

"You can eat your steamed bun first. In a few days, when Sister Niannian buys some meat, we'll make our own, and we'll make lots of big meat buns," Su Niannian said with a smile, patting the bun's head.

The child is so sensible.

Su Niannian felt that she had encountered more kind people than anything else this time she was able to be reborn.

Su Niannian likes her current life.

Seeing Su Niannian say that, Baozi finally took a bite of the bun.

The warm steamed buns, with their juicy filling spreading in my mouth, and their fluffy, soft skin, are simply the best steamed buns I've ever eaten.

Seeing the steamed buns being eaten so happily, Widow Wu felt a lump in her throat.

The child has suffered a lot following me. If I could earn more work points and more money, Baozi could live a better life.

Gu's mother beckoned Gu Ningning to go out and serve the dishes.

Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi also quickly followed to help.

Widow Wu told the buns to stay and eat slowly, and then she went over to help.

Actually, the food is already prepared, and the stewed chicken is ready too; it's just being kept warm on a low heat.

There was still some rice porridge that Gu's mother had made for Baozi, so she also made large steamed buns with cornmeal and wheat flour.

He even made a few white flour steamed buns with scallion oil separately for Su Niannian.

The dish consisted of stewed old hen with wild mushrooms and potatoes, along with two stir-fried green vegetables, and slices of pork in the green vegetables.

There was also the wild rabbit that Gu Nan had hunted before, which Gu's mother made into a wild rabbit soup with bok choy.

Although it wasn't a particularly lavish meal, it was the kind of meal usually served during the Lunar New Year.

It's not impolite to entertain guests like this.

When Su Niannian went to the kitchen, she took a look and then brought out the rabbit soup, which she had added some spiritual spring water to.

After serving Gu Zhendong some food separately, they put it in his bowl.

Everyone sat down and began to eat.

Widow Wu and Song Zhaodi appeared somewhat reserved.

"This afternoon, thanks to Song Zhiqing, she helped me a lot. Song Zhiqing, please eat more." Gu's mother sensed the mood between the two and quickly and warmly welcomed them.

He picked up a piece of meat and put it in Song Zhaodi's bowl.

"I didn't do anything," Song Zhaodi said, scratching her head.

This is chicken, stewed until it smells delicious.

She had never eaten anything so delicious at home, and for a moment, she couldn't stop drooling.

"You eat too, don't be shy." Gu's mother put another piece of chicken on Wu's plate.

Widow Wu quickly expressed her gratitude.

"Don't be shy, everyone. Eat as much as you like. My aunt is a great cook," Su Niannian said with a smile.

They also put meat on everyone's plates.

Then, as Su Niannian looked down, there was already a chicken leg in her bowl.

It was obvious that Gu Nan put the food on Su Niannian's plate while she was busy serving food to others.

Su Niannian smiled and happily picked it up and ate it.

Gu Nan smiled as he looked at Su Niannian.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Although Widow Wu and Zhaodi Song were a little reserved, they were still urged to eat quite a bit.

After finishing their meal, Song Zhaodi and Widow Wu left first.

The main problem was that Widow Wu and Song Zhaodi were vying to wash the dishes, but neither of them could beat Gu Nan.

They were afraid of staying and interrupting the family's conversation, so they made up an excuse and left.

Song Zhaodi knew that Gu Nan would definitely take Su Niannian home that night, so she didn't need to worry about Su Niannian.

After the three left, Su Niannian said she wanted to go for a walk in the back mountain, and Gu Nan readily agreed.

It was already getting dark, and there weren't many people on the back mountain. If I went with Su Niannian, we might have a chance to get closer.

What could Gu Nan possibly disagree with?

Gu Ningning initially jumped up, wanting to go too, but was stopped by her mother.

Gu's mother gave Gu Ningning a look, and Gu Ningning immediately understood and quieted down.

"I'm not going. I need to stay home and help Mom with chores. You guys have fun!" Gu Ningning winked at her second brother.

Gu Nan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Gu Ningning.

Gu Ningning shrank her neck. Sure enough, her second brother reserved all his gentleness for Nian Nian.

Me... sigh.

Gu Ningning sighed silently.

Su Niannian watched the scene before her with a smile.

Holding Gu Nan's hand, the two of them, carrying a basket and a flashlight, headed towards the back of the mountain.

It was barely dark when two major events occurred in the village in the past two days. So after dinner, the aunties and grandmas from the intelligence station gathered in small groups and chatted animatedly about the gossip.

They shared their firsthand information.

Several people actually saw Gu Nan and Su Niannian walking hand in hand side by side.

"Hmm, it seems these two are really dating."

"And it was done openly, heading towards the back mountain so late at night, could it be that even Little Su, the educated youth, was there..."

"Shut your stinking mouth. If you don't have money to buy a toothbrush, you can use the stick in the latrine."

"Exactly, is Xiao Su, the educated youth, that kind of person? Do you think everyone is like Lu Xingguang and Zhao Sulan?"

"Well, that's true, and the second son of the Gu family isn't the type to act recklessly."

"Isn't this getting off-topic? Weren't we talking about the educated youth Lu and Zhao?"

"Right, right, where were we? Was the aphrodisiac drug that Zhao Zhiqing took for the sow forced to be given by Lu Zhiqing?"

"Of course! What kind of good person would willingly take this kind of medicine? If I gave it to you, would you dare to take it voluntarily?"

The village gossip spreads mainly through these aunties and grandmas.

Now that the evidence is conclusive and so many eyes have witnessed it, this gossip is truly based on fact.

On the other side, the weather in early May was not yet hot. The two held hands and walked side by side toward the back mountain.

"This is much better, no need to sneak around," Su Niannian said meaningfully.

Gu Nan naturally understood what she meant and nodded silently.

Since acquiring the spiritual spring water in her space, Su Niannian has been drinking it every day. Although she still looks a bit thin, her physical condition is actually quite good.

So, she doesn't feel tired at all when she climbs a mountain or walks a path.

As for Gu Nan, he was a soldier and now does farm work every day, so his physical condition is excellent.

Both of them walked lightly and quickly up the mountain.

Su Niannian stopped when she reached the middle of the mountain.

By this time, it had completely darkened.

Su Niannian handed the flashlight in her hand to Gu Nan.

"What's wrong?"
