Chapter 484 0 Money, What an unfamiliar phrase
"It's nothing, I just thought of one of my junior brothers, Gao Wentao, who seems to be coming back soon."
Gao Wentao, in Su Niannian's memory, was indeed such a person. He was also one of her grandfather's most proud and favorite apprentices, and she had met him before.
I heard that he recently went to remote towns to collect Chinese medicinal herbs. Judging from Guo Futian's words, Gao Wentao should be back soon.
Although she didn't know why Guo Futian was smiling like that, Su Niannian didn't find it too strange.
After Guo Futian put everything in the car, he let Su Niannian get in.
They drove the vehicle towards the military family compound.
After dropping Su Niannian off at the Gu family's door and helping to put her things in the yard, Guo Futian took his leave.
Mother Gu had figured it out: as long as Old Master Bai wasn't around, Guo Futian would never stay for dinner.
Out of politeness, Gu's mother still said she wanted Guo Futian to stay for dinner, but was unsurprisingly refused.
Guo Futian greeted everyone and then left.
Su Niannian bought quite a lot of things. While her family was moving things to the kitchen, Su Niannian sneaked into the kitchen and took out some vegetables and fruits from her spatial storage, putting them together.
They weren't discovered.
The vegetables and fruits produced in this space taste great and are of excellent quality.
This was the first time Gu Yongkang, Gu's father, had seen Su Niannian bring back so many things. Although his wife had told him about it before, he was still quite surprised to see it for the first time.
Seeing Gu Yongkang's expression, Su Niannian knew that Gu Nan's father was used to being frugal all his life and was afraid that he would think she was a spendthrift. Su Niannian was about to smile and explain something.
But Gu's mother interrupted him.
"Niannian knows you've suffered a lot outside, and I want to buy you more food to help you recover."
"Don't talk about her like that, she's very capable," Mrs. Gu explained to Mr. Gu while packing his things.
Su Niannian smiled at Gu's mother, who gave her a reassuring look.
Gu's father had already heard that Gu Nan, that brat, had found a wonderful wife. From the moment Su Niannian entered the Gu family, the Gu family's life underwent a dramatic change.
Originally, I wanted to tell Su Niannian to be a little more frugal, since there would be many expenses after the child was born.
But then he thought that since he was back and Gu Zhendong had started working, the family would have two more sources of income, so he decided to just buy it.
What's more, his wife told him that Su Niannian had given her four hundred yuan before they came to Beijing.
Goodness, four hundred dollars these days.
When Mr. Gu heard this, he told Mrs. Gu to return the money to Su Niannian. However, after Mrs. Gu explained the situation in detail, Mr. Gu's eyes softened instantly.
"Su Niannian is truly a good child. We must cherish her as if she were our own." These were the words that Gu's father said to Gu's mother at the time.
In return, Gu's mother rolled her eyes, saying, "I've always treated Su Niannian like my own child."
"This child suffered a lot before going to the countryside," Gu's mother told Gu's father everything she knew.
Gu's father also fell into deep thought. How could someone who was treated so harshly at home still find an opportunity to learn medicine? It was clear that Su Niannian was a very smart person who knew what she wanted to do in the future.
Gu's mother had already organized all the food that Su Niannian had bought and put it in its proper place.
The remaining notebooks, pencils, and some small trinkets like hair accessories were to be taken to Su Niannian's room by Gu's mother.
"Mom, these are all for everyone, and these snacks and candies are all for you to keep," Su Niannian said with a smile.
Gu's mother agreed.
Gu's father was still standing there, while Gu's mother wondered if her old man was thinking of something again.
He nudged Gu's father with his elbow in the past.
"What's wrong?" Gu's mother asked.
"Nothing much," Mr. Gu said, coming back to his senses.
Then he took out twenty yuan from his pocket.
He walked slowly to Su Niannian's side.
"Niannian, here's the money for you," Mr. Gu said, his expression slightly unnatural.
Older men of this age are not very good at communicating with their daughters-in-law.
"Father, what is this...?" Su Niannian asked, puzzled.
“It’s not any other kind of money, it’s pocket money given to me by my father,” Mr. Gu continued.
Pocket money...
What an unfamiliar word.
Su Niannian hadn't seen any pocket money for a very, very long time.
In the past, Tao Chunhua's son, Li Junlang, had pocket money.
Su Wenxue and Su Wenli, the children of their father and Tao Chunhua, also have pocket money.
Only I don't have it.
Not only do they not have anything, but they are also exploited for all their value.
But now, the pocket money that Gu Yongkang handed over made Su Niannian feel loved by her father again.
Twenty yuan is not much, even very little, for Su Niannian.
Twenty yuan was almost a month's wages for a worker in this era.
Even for Gu Yongkang, a technician, twenty yuan is not a small amount.
Su Niannian stood there, looking at the twenty yuan in Gu Yongkang's hand, and felt like crying.
Over there, Gu's mother looked at her old man with a smile.
Although she knew that twenty yuan was not much money for Su Niannian.
But it was also her husband's wish.
"Niannian, please accept it. Don't think it's too little; it's just a small token of your father's affection," said Gu's mother, standing to the side.
Upon hearing this, Su Niannian shook her head, her eyes slightly red when she looked up.
"I don't mind that it's not much, thank you, Daddy." Su Niannian accepted the twenty yuan that Gu Yongkang handed over with both hands.
It wasn't much money, but it was pocket money, the kind of pocket money that Su Niannian had once lacked but envied others for.
Su Niannian smiled sincerely. Seeing how touched Su Niannian was by the twenty yuan he had given her as pocket money made Gu Yongkang feel a little sorry for her.
“Although your father doesn’t have any great abilities, you two can still come to me if you encounter any difficulties or setbacks,” Gu Yongkang said.
Su Niannian smiled and nodded.
Zhao Tian had been watching from the doorway. Seeing this scene, she also felt that the Gu family was truly wonderful.
Because Zhao Tian also received twenty yuan from Gu Yongkang, even though Zhao Tian said she didn't want it.
But it was still stuffed into my hand.
Zhao Tian and Su Niannian exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
"Niannian bought a lot of delicious food today, let's have a good meal together." Gu's mother likes to see the family in harmony.
She felt that as long as the family was together, thinking in the same direction and working together, things would definitely get better and better!
Su Niannian was asked to leave the kitchen again, and Gu Ningning returned with her schoolbag.
Gu Ningning's eyes lit up when she saw the things on the table in the yard.
