Chapter 274 Is this the power of love?
When Gu's mother saw the basket in Gu Nan's hands, she noticed that it was quite full, almost completely packed.
"Goodness, so much stuff, Niannian must be exhausted," said Gu's mother to Su Niannian, who had just reached the kitchen door.
"I'm not tired. I saw that the fruit was selling well in the county town today, so I bought some more."
Su Niannian said with a smile.
At this moment, Gu Nan had already taken things out of the basket one by one.
It was packaged in a mesh bag, which Su Niannian had bought and stored in her spatial storage beforehand, just for convenient storage of items.
It's perfect for holding fruit right now.
Apples, pears, peaches, and some dates were all brought out.
The basket was also filled with some cakes, pastries, and small fried dough twists, which Su Niannian bought to treat her family.
Also, Su Niannian bought a lot of the candy that Gu Ningning mentioned before.
"Next time Niannian buys this much stuff, let Gu Nan go with you and help you carry it."
"You must be exhausted from carrying such heavy things. Go sit down at the dining table," said Gu's mother, feeling sorry for Su Niannian.
Su Niannian smiled and repeatedly assured everyone that she wasn't tired.
However, there's a kind of tiredness that only your mother feels. Helpless, Su Niannian had no choice but to leave the kitchen and go to the dining table.
Gu Zhendong was also sitting at the dining table. Gu Nan had carried him out early, saying it would be good for him to get some sun.
Gu Ningning took Yangyang to the kitchen and came out with her hands full of things.
Even little Yangyang was carrying something in his hand.
Gu Zhendong took a look and saw that they were all cakes, pastries, and candies, which looked expensive.
"You're spoiling the kid too much." Gu Zhendong hadn't worked to earn money in a long time and felt somewhat guilty.
Moreover, when Gu Zhendong had just injured his leg, he not only didn't earn money, but also spent a lot of his family's money.
Gu Zhendong has always felt guilty about this.
"Brother, what are you saying? Aren't children meant to be cherished?" Su Niannian said with a smile, but a bitter feeling inevitably arose in her heart.
In Su Niannian's memory, she was very happy when her mother was still alive before she was six years old.
My mother would cook the food I liked for me herself.
She would buy things that her mother couldn't make for Su Niannian.
That was the happiest time for Su Niannian before she met Gu Nan.
Since Su Niannian's mother passed away and Tao Chunhua entered the family, Su Niannian's life has become unbearable.
However, no matter how difficult or painful it was, it's all over now.
Su Niannian looked at the handsome figure busy in the kitchen, a smile on her lips.
Seeing how good the relationship was between Su Niannian and Gu Nan, Gu Zhendong sincerely wished them well.
He only hoped that Gu Nan and his wife could continue to be happy.
"Gu Ningning, it's time to eat! Why did you open the cakes? Come and serve the dishes!"
Standing at the kitchen door, Gu's mother saw that Gu Ningning had already opened the oil paper package containing cakes and pastries, and scolded her.
Gu Ningning was called upon by her mother. She stuck out her tongue, hurriedly pinched the oil paper package together, and rushed over to help.
Soon, the food was all placed on the table.
It's just a simple meal with a few vegetables, some slices of meat, and rice as the main dish.
"Everyone, please start eating," said Gu's mother, placing a piece of meat on Su Niannian's plate.
"Try it," said Mrs. Gu with a smile.
Su Niannian also served some food to Gu's mother and then started eating.
"Mom's cooking is getting better and better," Su Niannian exclaimed after taking a bite.
"I'm glad you like it." Gu's mother smiled.
Then, Gu's mother nudged Su Niannian with her elbow and looked at Gu Nan.
"Huh?" Su Niannian asked, puzzled.
"This dish was cooked by Gu Nan," Gu Zhendong said with a smile.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing; it would be better to just say it directly.
Gu Zhendong chewed the food in his mouth and thought it tasted good, much better than what he could cook himself.
Thinking back to the beginning...
Gu Zhendong remembered that Gu Nan had cooked when he first returned from the army.
That was... hard to swallow.
It's no exaggeration to say that Gu Zhendong thought Gu Nan's cooking was a complete waste of food!
It's such a simple and basic dish; it wouldn't taste so bad if you just stir-fried it casually.
Compared to the dishes Gu Nan makes now, they are worlds apart.
Is this... the power of love? Gu Zhendong thought to himself.
Then I realized I'd accidentally been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), it was really...
Upon hearing this, Su Niannian's eyes widened as she stared at Gu Nan.
It seems they are asking if it's true or false.
Gu Nan smiled and nodded silently.
Su Niannian's eyes narrowed with laughter.
My own dog of a man, now he can cook so well.
Seeing Su Niannian smiling happily, Gu Nan felt that everything he did was worthwhile.
This feeling is so good.
I was thinking that if I had time in the future, I could make my little girl the things she likes to eat.
Gu Nan hoped that Su Niannian could be happy every day, so that he would feel that the world was complete.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
It seems that ever since Su Niannian appeared, the gloomy atmosphere in this family has turned into sunshine.
The sunlight shone in.
"Brother, I went to the county town today and got some medicine for you. I'll brew it for you after dinner," Su Niannian said to Gu Zhendong.
Gu Zhendong smiled and nodded, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Niannian, you don't need to. You should eat and rest. You must be exhausted after carrying such heavy things all morning from the county town," Gu's mother quickly said.
“I’m in very good health right now, I can brew the medicine myself,” Mother Gu continued.
Su Niannian wanted to refuse, but Gu Nan shook his head slightly at her.
"Then thank you, Mother," Su Niannian replied with a smile.
Su Niannian knew what Gu Nan was thinking.
Since Su Niannian married into this family, she has been contributing to it. It is understandable that Gu's mother wants to do what she can to help.
Therefore, Gu Nan told Su Niannian not to refuse.
Although her man is usually quiet and seems aloof, he is actually very thoughtful.
After dinner, Gu Nan helped his mother clear the dishes, and Gu Ningning also went to help.
Su Niannian wanted to help, but the three of them firmly refused.
Su Niannian smiled helplessly and could only play with Yangyang in the yard for a while.
Yangyang's condition has improved a lot in the past few days.
When Yangyang first came back, he was very careful in everything he did.
They were terrified that they might do something wrong and be beaten.
But now, in just these few days, Yangyang's face and body have clearly gained weight.
Moreover, his mental state has improved a lot.
They've stopped being so paranoid and have regained their childlike innocence.
