Chapter 253 The Feeling of Happiness, Long Time No See
Looking at the milk candy, Gu Ningning knew it was given to her by her second sister-in-law.
He accepted it with a smile.
Gu Ningning hugged Gu Tianyang, then carefully peeled off a piece of candy wrapper, revealing the milky white candy inside.
Gu Tianyang stared wide-eyed at the candy in his aunt's hand.
A milky, sweet aroma filled my nostrils.
It smelled so sweet; Gu Tianyang hadn't smelled anything so sweet in a very long time.
And it's such a precious milk candy.
Gu Ningning smiled and put the candy in Gu Tianyang's mouth.
The moment Gu Tianyang's saliva touched the milk candy, his eyes narrowed.
Savoring the milky flavor in his mouth, Gu Tianyang thought, "This is so delicious!"
"Auntie has lots of milk candies, Auntie will give them all to you," Gu Ningning said with a smile.
It seems that Gu Ningning has grown up ever since Yangyang came back.
They immediately adopted the demeanor of an elder.
Gu Zhendong's lips curled up in a smile as he watched.
Gu Ningning felt her older brother's gaze on her, and raised her chin slightly, as if to say, "See? I've grown up!"
Gu Zhendong's smile deepened.
This feeling of happiness is something I haven't felt in a long time.
Gu Tianyang ate candy while Gu Ningning teased him, and Gu Zhendong leaned back and watched the two of them with a smile.
This feeling is really good.
Before long, the food was ready.
Because it was getting late, we decided to have dinner in Gu Zhendong's room.
Su Niannian lit candles and a kerosene lamp, making the room very bright.
The whole family sat down. Today, Gu's mother steamed flower rolls with wheat flour and cornmeal, as well as thirteen-spice powder and chopped green onions. They smelled very good.
The steamed buns are soft and fluffy, and look very appetizing.
I also made a cabbage and tofu soup, with some slices of meat in it.
Originally, they wanted to have soup and steamed buns, but Su Niannian brought back three dishes from a state-run restaurant.
And each type comes in two portions, which are already heated and placed on the table.
Yangyang looked at the dishes on the table, including the steaming hot steamed buns, and his mouth watered.
However, he remembered that when he was with his mother, he couldn't eat this kind of dish.
Or, I can only eat a very small amount. Now that I'm back at my father's house, can I eat these things by myself?
Yangyang really wanted to eat, but she didn't dare. Gu Zhendong sat diagonally on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), and Yangyang stood beside him, then hugged his arm.
They stared longingly at the dishes on the table.
Upon seeing this, the others immediately understood what was going on.
"Yangyang, you can eat all of these dishes, as much as you want." Looking at Yangyang, Su Niannian felt a soft spot in her heart being touched.
It breaks my heart.
Although Yangyang heard Su Niannian say that, he still didn't dare to move.
Gu Zhendong picked up the child and wanted to put him on his lap, but feeling that his leg was still injured, he could only signal to his mother to hold Yangyang.
Gu's mother quickly picked up Yangyang and placed him on her lap.
"Yangyang, we're home now. Eat whatever you want," Gu's mother said, holding Yangyang in her arms.
Yangyang glanced at Gu Zhendong again, and only after seeing his father nod did he return his gaze to the table.
Yangyang's eyes lit up as he looked at all the meat and vegetables on the table.
Su Niannian placed Yangyang's bowl in front of Gu's mother, and put a steamed bun and a few pieces of meat that looked fairly well-cooked into it.
Seeing that Yangyang didn't move, Gu's mother said to her eldest grandson, "Then Grandma will feed you."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it near Yangyang's mouth.
Yangyang was hesitant to eat at first, but the taste was just too good. A three-year-old child has no patience, so he opened his mouth.
Mother Gu fed the meat to Yangyang.
Yangyang chewed the meat in his mouth, revealing a very satisfied expression.
"It's delicious, so delicious!" Yangyang said in his childish voice.
Seeing this, Gu Ningning patiently said to Yangyang, "This is only average. Second sister-in-law's cooking is the best." Gu Ningning said proudly.
Upon hearing this, Su Niannian smiled and then placed a piece of meat into Gu Ningning's bowl.
"Thank you for coming, but you should eat some of the better-tasting meat first," Su Niannian said with a smile.
Everyone present laughed.
Gu Nan reached behind Su Niannian and quietly patted her back.
Su Niannian looked at Gu Nan and saw in his eyes that he was saying thank you to her.
Su Niannian couldn't help but smile at Gu Nan.
I thought to myself, if it weren't for how you treated me in my past life, my whole life would have been ruined.
You are the person I should thank the most.
The two smiled at each other, and the whole family began to eat.
Yangyang gradually accepted everything before her.
When Yangyang tasted the delicious flavor in his mouth, he realized that everything was so real.
He grabbed a steamed bun with his hand and took a big bite.
As Yangyang ate, he started to laugh.
He's still young, and he's already happy as long as he has good food and enough to eat.
Gu Zhendong appeared to be smiling happily on the surface, but in reality, he felt extremely bitter inside.
If I hadn't been careless and broken my leg, and if I had always been healthy, my child wouldn't have suffered so much.
I remember when Gu Tianyang was two years old, he was fair-skinned, chubby, and looked just like the lucky baby in the painting.
But now, he's not exactly skin and bones, but he's extremely thin.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhendong hated himself, hated his own uselessness.
Gu Zhendong secretly vowed in his heart that once his leg was healed, he would make sure his child, mother, and family lived a good life.
Aside from the year he was injured and depressed, Gu Zhendong is actually a very capable person.
Everyone enjoyed the meal. Although they knew Yangyang had suffered a lot this past year, it was a good thing that he was back.
After the family finished eating, Gu's mother and Su Niannian cleaned up the dishes, and Gu Nan took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Gu's mother and Su Niannian helped tidy up in the kitchen.
Gu's mother asked Su Niannian how she managed to take Yangyang back from Zhao Fengxia today.
Su Niannian told Gu's mother everything truthfully.
Mother Gu listened without saying a word.
Su Niannian was a little curious and asked Gu's mother why her eldest brother would marry a woman like Zhao Fengxia.
What exactly happened back then?
Gu's mother then told Su Niannian everything about how the two of them started.
“The Fengxia of the past was not like this. I don’t know why she is so hostile now.”
Gu's mother recounted the events of the past to Su Niannian.
Although Zhao Fengxia was introduced to Gu Zhendong by a relative, the two got along very well after meeting.
At that time, Zhao Fengxia was very poised and sensible.
