Chapter 124 Embrace, Love, Satisfaction
This is certainly not a problem.
Su Niannian found a few sheets of paper and listed the medicines for Gu Zhendong's medicinal bath.
We're going to start preparing traditional Chinese medicine for Gu Zhendong today.
"We need a foot bath tub that can reach above the knees," Su Niannian said to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan nodded; he could do it himself.
It can be done with just some wood and a special waterproof coating.
Gu Nan immediately took action to prepare.
At that time, even the supply and marketing cooperatives didn't have such basins; it was considered good enough to wash one's feet on ordinary days.
Where can you find a foot bath tub that's knee-deep?
Su Niannian prepared the medicine, packaged it separately, and prepared a seven-day supply.
I took it and went to the kitchen to brew the medicine.
Su Niannian replaced at least half of the amount of spiritual spring water this time.
What they wanted was for the spiritual spring water to open up the nerves in Gu Zhendong's legs and allow his muscles to recover to a better state.
Seven days later, Su Niannian planned to break Gu Zhendong's legs to begin formal treatment.
On Gu Nan's side, a tall wooden bucket was also made out of planks, with a diameter greater than the length of two feet.
This made it easier for Gu Zhendong to put both his legs and feet inside.
"Have some mung bean water first." Su Niannian handed a bowl of mung bean water to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan still had a lot of wood shavings in his hands. He clapped them together, took the mung bean water that Su Niannian handed him, and drank it.
The weather is starting to get a bit hot during the day, and with Gu Nan working, a bowl of mung bean water like this is really thirst-quenching.
Gu Nan handed the empty bowl to Su Niannian.
They went back to work.
Gu Zhendong had already been put back to his room by Gu Nan, and Su Niannian used the silver needles she had just received to perform acupuncture on Gu Zhendong.
By evening, Gu Nan's wooden bucket was finally finished.
However, it needs to be left to dry for a while to allow the waterproof paint to dry completely.
"I'll soak it for my brother later. The water doesn't need to be too hot. His nerves in his legs aren't very sensitive right now. If it's too hot, he might not be able to feel it and it could cause burns."
Su Niannian patiently explained all the precautions to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan nodded, indicating that he understood.
The family ate dinner together in the yard that evening.
Gu Zhendong also unusually did not eat alone in his room.
Since he overcame his inferiority complex, he has been willing to interact with his family.
Gu Ningning looked at the meat and vegetables on the table and was very happy.
But what made her even happier was having dinner with her older brother.
Since my older brother's accident and my sister-in-law left the family, my older brother has never eaten with the family again.
Now, seeing her older brother sitting in the courtyard eating with her, Gu Ningning felt very happy.
Although I was also very hungry, I still put a lot of meat in my older brother's bowl first.
"Big brother, eat more, eat more to gain weight and get better faster!" Gu Ningning said to Gu Zhendong with a smile.
Gu Zhendong smiled and said, "Okay."
Gu's mother was very gratified. She had considered the worst-case scenario. How long ago was it that her dilapidated home could be so warm and happy?
Gu's mother looked at Su Niannian with a loving smile.
Su Niannian also put some food on Gu Ningning's plate, saying, "Little glutton, I've been watching the meat for a long time, you should eat more."
Su Niannian smiled, and Gu Ningning smiled even more happily.
The family enjoyed the meal very much.
Gu Zhendong felt a long-lost sense of family happiness and smiled sincerely.
"Once my leg is healed, let's have a good drink together, brother," Gu Zhendong said, patting Gu Nan on the shoulder.
Gu Nan nodded, indicating that he could.
After dinner, it got completely dark, and Gu Nan escorted Su Niannian back to the educated youth settlement.
On the way, Su Niannian brought Gu Nan into the space.
"Why are you back in again?" Su Niannian's arrival was so sudden that Gu Nan only asked after entering the space.
"Find able-bodied men!" Su Niannian smiled.
Then he pointed to a pile of saplings in the space and smiled.
"……"Fine.
"Are these all fruit trees?" Gu Nan asked Su Niannian.
Su Niannian nodded and began to introduce herself.
In fact, Gu Nan came from a rural background, so he didn't need Su Niannian to explain what fruit trees were.
Gu Nan knew it all at a glance.
But seeing how earnestly Su Niannian explained, Gu Nan followed behind her in silence.
The little guy was playing with the chicks a bit further away when he sensed Su Niannian and the others coming in.
The little guy quickly ran over.
Gu Nan lunged at Su Niannian. Although he already knew the little guy wouldn't hurt Su Niannian, he still instinctively hugged Su Niannian's shoulders and used his body to separate her from the little guy.
The little guy is incredibly strong now; with one leap, he knocked both of them down.
Fortunately, the ground wasn't hard.
Realizing he might have done something wrong, the little guy rolled his eyes, pretended nothing had happened, and stepped back to the side.
However, the situation between Gu Nan and Su Niannian is somewhat ambiguous.
"Aren't you getting up?" Su Niannian turned her head to the side and said to Gu Nan above.
"The little guy probably hurt his back, he can't move it." Gu Nan's ears started to turn red.
These days, people don't even bother to think before they lie.
These words just came out of his mouth.
How could Gu Nan, who is so strong, injure his back just from being pounced on by a little guy?
Wait, my back? Su Niannian sat up abruptly. Any injury is fine, but how could my back be injured?
No, injuries are not allowed anywhere.
Su Niannian quickly got up, and Gu Nan, seeing this, also felt that he shouldn't have said he was injured.
His little girl was worried about him, so she couldn't maintain the pose.
With a deep sigh, Gu Nan got up.
"You're alright?" Su Niannian could tell that Gu Nan was definitely okay when she saw the muscle lines and movements he made when he got up.
"Hmm. I misspoke," Gu Nan said helplessly.
He can't tell his girlfriend he's injured next time, or she'll worry.
"Okay." Su Niannian couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This scoundrel, now he's lying so easily just to get closer to me.
But after that brief intimate contact, Gu Nan's heart was pounding.
He wrapped his arms around Su Niannian's soft waist and hugged her tightly.
In arms.
He buried his head in Su Niannian's neck and shoulder, inhaling her faint fragrance.
"I brought you here to be a strong laborer, and you're taking advantage of me?" That's what Su Niannian said.
But actions don't lie; Su Niannian hugged Gu Nan's waist and back tightly.
Su Niannian loved the feeling of being held by Gu Nan. The faint scent of soap on Gu Nan made her feel very safe and secure.
I am very happy and satisfied.
"I love holding you."
"Me too."
