Chapter 252 Don't feel guilty, just work harder in the future!
Just as Su Niannian had guessed, Gu Zhendong was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
She wanted to get out of bed to see Yangyang, but she couldn't move her legs.
Fortunately, at this moment, Gu's mother, having heard Su Niannian's words, came over with Yangyang in her arms.
Gu Zhendong had already moved to the edge of the earthen bed by himself.
Then he saw his mother carrying his child in, and Gu Zhendong's eyes reddened the moment he saw Yangyang.
"Yangyang..."
"Yangyang, let Daddy hug you." Gu Zhendong's tears fell, he wiped them away casually with his hand, and stretched out his hands to Yangyang.
Yangyang saw his father, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and reached out his hand.
Seeing this, Gu's mother put Yangyang on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Yangyang looked at Gu Zhendong, tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed over with open arms.
When the father and son hugged each other, they both cried.
The two hadn't seen each other for a year, and during that year, Gu Zhendong had missed his child very much.
But the thought of my legs being useless, and if my child stayed with me, he would have a disabled father who would need to be in bed for everything, including eating, drinking, and using the toilet.
When they go out, they get laughed at by other children.
For Yangyang's future, Gu Zhendong suppressed his longing for his child.
I hope to find a way to bring Yangyang back after my leg heals.
But when he actually saw Yangyang, Gu Zhendong could no longer hold back his emotions.
Hug the child tightly.
"Daddy, Yangyang misses you," Yangyang said, crying, his voice still trembling with sobs and his childish voice.
"Father misses Yangyang too, Father misses Yangyang," Gu Zhendong said, crying.
Tears slid into my mouth, and a sour taste spread.
Gu's mother, standing to the side, also covered her mouth and cried, tears streaming down her face. No one in the family missed Yangyang.
I had been to Zhao Fengxia's parents' home before, but Zhao Fengxia wouldn't hand over the child.
Zhao Fengxia made it clear that since Gu Zhendong's legs were completely useless, he was destined to be a cripple for the rest of his life.
She could no longer live with Gu Zhendong.
Zhao Fengxia said all of that.
Gu's mother was worried that such a thing would affect Gu Zhendong's mood and didn't want him to feel even worse.
Neither of them mentioned to Gu Zhendong that they had visited Zhao Fengxia's family home.
But even if his mother didn't say anything, Gu Zhendong was not completely unaware of it.
That's why Gu Zhendong was so depressed that year, and even thought about ending his own life.
Fortunately, I had the support of my family, who took care of me without ever abandoning me.
"Yangyang, don't cry. Be good, stay with Daddy from now on, Daddy will take good care of you." Gu Zhendong wiped the tears from the child's face with his hand.
Su Niannian, Gu Nan, and Gu Ningning also entered the house at this time.
Seeing the three people in the room crying together, Gu Ningning's tears also flowed uncontrollably.
Gu Ningning climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and then patted Gu Zhendong on the back like a little adult.
"Big brother, that's great! Second brother and sister-in-law have brought Yangyang back. Now our family can all be together properly."
"Your leg will be better in a few months, and then our family will live a good life together!" Gu Ningning said to Gu Zhendong.
Gu Zhendong nodded vigorously.
Su Niannian then went to Gu's mother's side.
He hugged his mother and said, "Mom, it's good news that Yangyang is back. Why are you crying?"
"Let's not cry anymore. Just like Ningning said, good days are waiting for us in the future," Su Niannian said gently.
Seeing this scene, Su Niannian also felt like crying.
But the whole family can't cry together.
So she carefully comforted Gu's mother.
Upon hearing this, Gu's mother controlled her tears, preventing them from falling, and then spoke earnestly to Su Niannian.
"Niannian, you are such a wonderful girl. Ever since we met you, you have been moving in a positive direction."
"I am so grateful to you," said Gu's mother, tears welling up in her eyes again.
Since Su Niannian appeared, his lung disease has been cured; he no longer coughs up blood or experiences chest pain.
Gu Ningning's body is no longer as weak as it used to be, and Gu Zhendong's leg will also have a day when it is fully recovered.
Thinking of this, Gu's mother felt that Su Niannian was her family's little lucky star.
"Mom, what are you saying? Aren't we family? Don't you treat me like your own child?"
Su Niannian pouted and said.
"Yes, yes, we're family. You're our Gu family's lucky star. With you here, the future will be bright." Gu's mother was amused by Su Niannian's pouting.
Yangyang turned her head to look this way and stopped crying.
At this moment, Gu Zhendong's emotions had calmed down a bit, and he had stopped crying.
"Alright, alright, I'm going to cook. I even brought back some delicious food from the state-run restaurant today." Su Niannian patted Gu's mother's back, let go of her arms, and said with a smile.
"I'll go with you." Gu's mother and Su Niannian went to the kitchen together.
Gu Nan was not good at expressing her emotions, but she also wanted to go out.
Just as Gu Nan lifted the curtain, a voice came from behind him: "Thank you."
The "thank you" was said by Gu Zhendong to Gu Nan. Gu Nan paused for a moment while lifting the curtain, then turned to look at Gu Zhendong.
"Work harder and take better care of the family from now on," Gu Nan said, before walking out.
Gu Nan's meaning was clear: Gu Zhendong had previously felt that he was a useless person and that his family relied on Gu Nan for everything, which made Gu Zhendong feel very guilty.
Despite being the eldest brother, he couldn't be a help to the family; instead, he became a burden.
This family is entirely supported by Gu Nan's hard work.
Now that Gu Zhendong's leg will recover, in order to prevent Gu Zhendong from continuing to feel guilty, the responsibility of taking care of the family will be handed over to Gu Zhendong.
Anyway, Gu Nan will need to return to the army in a while.
Gu Zhendong smiled as he watched Gu Nan's departing figure.
His younger brother was indeed not good at expressing himself, but Gu Zhendong understood everything.
Gu Nan didn't want to live with guilt, which is why he said those things.
"Big brother, second brother said you should take good care of the family. You need to get better soon." Gu Ningning sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and patted her legs.
"Little Yangyang, come here and let Auntie give you a hug!" she said to Yangyang, acting like a little adult.
Upon hearing her aunt's words, Yangyang immediately left Gu Zhendong's embrace and rushed towards Gu Ningning.
"Tsk tsk, he really is my good son." Gu Zhendong hadn't even had enough of praising him when Yangyang ran off to Gu Ningning.
Feeling the warmth in his arms disappear, Gu Zhendong couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
However, there's still plenty of time, and I'll have time to hold my son eventually.
Gu Ningning held Yangyang in her arms, and Yangyang took out two milk candies from his pocket and handed one to Gu Ningning.
"Auntie, have some candy," Yangyang said in his childish voice.
