Yao Chunhua was relieved by her daughter's maturity. Since the incident of jumping into the river and being rescued, her daughter had truly changed a lot.
But how could a person change so drastically overnight? Yao Chunhua secretly felt that her daughter must have suffered greatly in places she hadn't seen. Thinking this, she felt both relieved and heartbroken.
"Good, I'll thank you on behalf of your second sister-in-law first."
Gu Jia Ning shook her head, not thinking much of it. When she jumped into the river and was rescued, her second brother immediately killed the hen that was originally intended for her second sister-in-law's confinement meal and made soup. Her second sister-in-law didn't object; she repaid kindness with kindness.
After her rebirth, Gu Jia Ning understood a principle: treat those who are kind to her kindly, and don't be polite to those who aren't.
When Gu Jia Ning went out to the old house, Yao Chunhua carried two cans of milk powder to her daughter-in-law's room.
Because she was still in confinement, Su Miao couldn't help out today, but she kept her ears pricked up, listening to the lively sounds outside.
Hearing her husband just come in and say that Officer Sheng had sent a betrothal gift, Su Miao couldn't help but sigh, her younger sister-in-law was truly lucky.
Of course, while envious, Su Miao felt that marrying into the Gu family and marrying Gu Yun Nan was also good.
Looking at her son Zhuangzhuang lying beside her, her brow softened.
At this time, there was a noise outside, and she saw her mother-in-law come in, holding something in her arms. Upon closer inspection, it was two cans of milk powder.
After her mother-in-law put down the milk powder and explained her intentions, Su Miao quickly said, "Mother, no, this is Officer Sheng's engagement gift for my younger sister-in-law, how can you give it to me?"
Milk powder was extremely valuable and difficult to obtain, even in the city.
Although she knew that her son would certainly grow better if he drank the milk powder, Su Miao felt that she couldn't be greedy; it was her younger sister-in-law's.
"This is Ningning specifically saying it's for you. Not only you, but others also have other things. This is also Ningning's, as a younger sister-in-law, heartfelt intention towards her nephew. Just take it."
Yao Chunhua's meaning was undeniable, and Su Miao didn't expect that it was her younger sister-in-law who specifically designated it for her. Her eyes welled up, and she was very moved.
"You don't need to say thank you, just remember it in your heart. Don't cry, crying during confinement can blind your eyes."
Su Miao quickly composed herself. She wasn't crying, she was happy.
Yao Chunhua still had to prepare lunch, so she didn't stay long.
When Gu Yun Nan came in, the redness in Su Miao's eyes hadn't completely faded, and seeing the two cans of milk powder on the table, she asked about the reason.
"Since Mom said it was Ningning's, then accept it. With these two cans of milk powder, our Zhuangzhuang can grow even better."
"I'll have more time to go to the mountain recently and try to hunt more game."
"Good."
Gu Yun Nan sighed. Outsiders said that the Gu family was too indulgent towards Gu Jia Ning, but in fact, their eyes weren't blind; there was a reason for spoiling Gu Jia Ning.
Since childhood, whenever Ningning had something good, she would share it with her three brothers.
Sometimes when they made mistakes and were to be beaten, Ningning would protect them.
Although Ningning was a bit spoiled, she was just a bit more pampered. They were also willing to spoil such a pampered younger sister.
It was only after meeting Wen Zhiqing that Ningning changed a bit.
But they felt that Ningning was influenced by Wen Zhiqing.
Now, after jumping into the river once, Ningning no longer liked Wen Zhiqing, and it seemed that Ningning had returned to her previous self.
Gu Yun Nan thought this was pretty good.
Meanwhile, Gu Jia Ning went out and walked on the road to the old house when suddenly a person darted out.
"Comrade Ningning."
Gu Jia Ning looked at the refined man in a white shirt and black trousers in front of her, and for a moment, she felt as if time had stood still.
It had been several days since her rebirth, and this was the first time she had seen Wen Zhuqing in this life.
That's right, the person in front of her was Wen Zhuqing.
Gu Jia Ning looked at him, her eyes downcast, and intense hatred flashed across her eyes, her hands under her sleeves tightening slightly.
Quickly, raising her head again, she regained her usual innocent look, blinked, and said, "It's you, Wen Zhiqing."
From the moment he saw Gu Jia Ning, Wen Zhuqing had been subtly observing her. Looking at the girl with bright eyes, he found that Gu Jia Ning seemed even more beautiful than before.
To be honest, Wen Zhuqing was also a man, and Gu Jia Ning's beauty was hard to find even in Shanghai, where he previously lived.
Therefore, he was also attracted to Gu Jia Ning's beauty and figure.
But he also knew that as a person from Shanghai, with his future aspirations, it was impossible for him to marry a country girl with no background.
However, now that he was in the countryside, thinking about his family's situation and the current situation, he didn't know when he could return to the city.
However, even if he was in the countryside, he could still plan something for himself.
Just make his life a little better.
Wen Zhuqing knew that he had good looks and a gentle personality.
Since coming to the countryside, many girls had shown him affection, and among them, he was most satisfied with Gu Jia Ning. After all, her father was the village chief, her three brothers were also capable, Gu Jia Ning was beautiful and innocent, and her family also spoiled her.
If he could win Gu Jia Ning over, it would definitely bring him many benefits.
Thinking this, he did so.
In the past six months, things had gone smoothly, and he was sure that Gu Jia Ning's heart was completely on him.
Recently, Gu Laoda got a job as a worker at the steel factory, and he knew his chance had come.
In a few words, he incited Gu Jia Ning to voluntarily help him get a job.
Wen Zhuqing didn't expect Gu Jia Ning to jump into the river for the job, but he wasn't surprised either.
He thought that after jumping into the river, the Gu family would compromise, and he would soon get the job and no longer have to work in the fields.
Unexpectedly, that day, he was ambushed and beaten twice, and he could only lie in bed for the past few days.
On Gu Jia Ning's side, however, rumors of her blind dates with officers continued to spread.
He originally planned to wait until his body recovered before going to Gu Jia Ning to find out the situation, but today, hearing the rumor that the officer came with his family to propose marriage, Wen Zhuqing couldn't sit still anymore. He struggled to get out, wanting to find a chance to see Gu Jia Ning. Unexpectedly, he was so lucky to run into her.
Looking at Gu Jia Ning's expression, it seemed to be no different from before, but somehow, Wen Zhuqing always felt that something was different about her.
Unable to figure it out for the time being, Wen Zhuqing had been recuperating for several days. The swelling on his face, which had finally subsided, habitually wore a gentle smile. His peach blossom eyes seemed affectionate, yet seemed to be telling of grievances. "Comrade Ningning, I heard you're getting engaged today?"
……
After Sheng Ze Xi sent his grandparents back to the hotel, he remembered that he had forgotten to discuss with Gu Jia Ning when to take wedding photos and get the marriage certificate, so he drove back.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jia Ning wasn't at the Gu family home; she had gone to the old house. Sheng Ze Xi knew where the old house was, so he walked there.
Not far away, two aunts walking towards him were talking, and the content of their conversation drifted over.
"Hey, didn't the Gu family girl get engaged to an officer today?"
"Yeah, the Gu family was lively today. That officer, he's from Beijing, the betrothal gifts were lavish."
"Then do you think Gu Jia Ning really doesn't like Wen Zhiqing anymore?"
"Probably."
"But I saw Gu Jia Ning and Wen Zhiqing meeting just now?"
"
