Chapter 472 Gu Nan's father is back!
Gu Nan shifted his gaze from Su Niannian to the man in dark blue clothes behind him.
"This is Niannian, the Su Niannian I told you about, my wife," Gu Nan introduced.
An irrepressible smile played at the corners of his mouth.
Su Niannian looked at the man who was smiling at her; he looked to be in his fifties or sixties.
He was a bit older than the father Gu Nan had mentioned before.
However, judging from Gu Nan's behavior, Su Niannian felt that this was Gu Nan's father.
"Hello, I am Gu Nan's father, Gu Yongkang," Gu Nan's father suddenly said.
It seems a little strange, but it's also very serious, isn't it?
It's just that it's a bit too formal.
Su Niannian guessed correctly.
With a smile and a slight nod, she said, "Hello, Father! I am Su Niannian."
Su Niannian's smile reached her eyes, and then she looked at Gu Nan, who returned a big smile.
Su Niannian knew that Gu Nan had been waiting for this day for a very, very long time.
Now that Gu Nan's father has returned, Gu Nan and the Gu family must be very happy.
He was also very happy, and Gu Nan reached out and took Su Niannian's hand.
Su Niannian could truly imagine how excited Gu Nan would be when his father appeared before him.
Even now, Gu Nan could hardly hide his excitement.
A burning sensation came from my palm.
The people behind him were stunned when they heard Gu Yongkang's words.
Gu's mother was holding a glass, but upon hearing the name Gu Yongkang, she dropped it to the ground.
A sharp sound rang out as glass shattered on the floor.
Fortunately, the water in the cup wasn't hot, so Gu's mother wasn't burned.
When Gu Zhendong heard his father's name, he stood up excitedly.
Gu Ningning covered her mouth in surprise.
Ignoring the broken glass on the ground, Gu's mother saw her husband, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
I felt like it was all unreal, and my body started trembling involuntarily.
Gu Nan pulled Su Niannian aside and stood two steps away.
The person blocking the view of the people in the courtyard immediately moved aside.
Everyone could clearly see the person standing behind Gu Nan.
"Father? Mother! It's Father!"
"Father is back!" Gu Ningning exclaimed excitedly.
Seeing that her mother and older brother did not make any move, Gu Ningning ran over and pounced on her father.
Gu Yongkang looked at Gu Ningning in front of him.
"Ningning, you've grown taller!" Gu Yongkang murmured to himself.
Those eyes also reddened.
Tears welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision somewhat.
"Father! It's Father!" Gu Ningning hugged her father's waist and leaned against him.
Gu Yongkang bent down and picked up Gu Ningning.
"Ningning has grown up and gotten heavier," Gu Yongkang said affectionately, holding Gu Ningning in his arms.
The last time I hugged Gu Ningning like this was two years ago.
Seriously, kids grow up so fast; it feels like just yesterday they were born.
Gu Yongkang felt that it was wonderful to be able to see his family again.
After putting Gu Ningning down and affectionately patting her head, Gu Yongkang looked at the person by the table in the courtyard.
His gaze swept over Gu Zhendong and Zhao Tian, and then landed on Gu's mother.
This is my wife, my lover. I've been away from home for two years, and she's been taking care of this family in my place.
Gu Yongkang felt that he had let his wife down.
I walked over there.
Every step was extremely difficult, after all, this separation would last for two years.
Gu Yongkang originally thought that he would probably never see him again in this lifetime.
Unexpectedly, two years later, I emerged from that godforsaken place.
He saw his child and his wife again.
Every step felt so heavy.
It seems as if they want to go back to the past through this distance of a dozen meters.
Gu's mother watched as Gu Yongkang walked towards her.
Tears streamed down her face like a broken string of beads.
Gu Yongkang stood in front of his mother.
Gu's mother noticed that Gu Yongkang looked like he had aged twenty years in just two years.
The white hairs at his temples were clearly visible.
Many hooked calyxes also appeared on her face.
He looks much older.
"You've suffered a lot these past two years, haven't you?" Gu's mother's hand was still trembling slightly as she gently placed it on Gu Yongkang's cheek.
Her skin was rough, and she had hardly any flesh left.
It's clear that they've suffered a lot these past two years.
Looking down, you can see that because it's summer, there's almost no flesh on their bodies.
“It’s not hard! My second brother told me that life wasn’t easy for you guys in Kaoshan Village either.”
"I've dragged you all down with me!" Gu Yongkang said with some self-reproach, his voice choked with emotion.
In the evening, Gu Yongkang met Gu Nan, and the two briefly embraced.
Gu Nan hugged his father, who had become much thinner, and felt extremely sad.
Gu Nan also told Gu Yongkang about everything that had happened in the past two years.
Back in Kaoshan Village, the family endured countless scornful treatment.
My mother fell ill, and my eldest brother had an accident while hiking, leaving him disabled in both legs and unable to walk.
The eldest sister-in-law abandoned her eldest brother and left home.
Gu Ningning's mother has a serious lung disease, and she is frail and sickly.
Everything started to get better when Su Niannian came to the Gu family.
He married Su Niannian and returned to the military base in Beijing.
He was promoted from regimental commander to brigade commander through a special promotion.
Gu Nan told his father everything as if pouring out beans.
Gu Yongkang looked deeply at Gu Nan and patted him on the shoulder.
"These past two years, thanks to you for taking care of this family, Father, I'm sorry."
Gu Nan shook his head.
"However, I really didn't expect someone with your personality to get married so early."
Actually, Gu Nan was not young when she got married, but Gu Yongkang knew that Gu Nan was aloof and had difficulty getting close to people.
It's quite remarkable that he was able to get married at such a young age.
Moreover, at that time, Gu Nan didn't have the halo of the military; he was just a country bumpkin.
It was quite unexpected for Gu Yongkang, a country bumpkin with a bad class background, to marry a sent-down youth.
However, all parents want the best for their children!
As long as the children are happy, that is the greatest expectation of parents.
Seeing the state of the Gu family now, and seeing that he had returned thanks to Gu Nan's great achievements.
Gu Yongkang was very pleased.
Her own son, so outstanding he shines.
This was also the first time Gu Yongkang had seen Gu Nan speak so much at once.
It seems that Gu Nan has changed a lot.
The two talked for a long time, losing track of time.
By the time the two realized it, it was already dark.
Gu Nan took Gu Yongkang home.
Looking at his wife and children, Gu Yongkang felt a pang of emotion, and tears streamed down his face.
