Mr. Nie noticed that something was wrong with Gu Nan's expression. He looked at her and asked with concern, "Nan Nan, what's wrong?"
"fine."
Although the name didn't match, the appearance did, and Gu Nan still believed his first impression.
She adjusted her mood and continued chatting with Mr. Nie, "I remember you said that he went to the countryside to jump in line? Did he never come back?"
Mr. Nie replied, "Twenty years ago, when my mother and grandmother passed away, he came back."
"Then do you know where he is?" Gu Nan asked again.
When Mr. Nie mentioned his nephew, his mood became very low. He lowered his eyes and shook his head, "I don't know. He said he was doing well in the countryside and didn't want to go back to the city. He asked us not to contact him."
He came back to attend the funeral and asked everyone about the girl he had been with. At that time, some relative in the family said that the girl had passed away. Mr. Nie remembered how terrifying his nephew looked at that time.
When grandma was buried, he left without saying goodbye.
He looked at the tall and lanky boy in the photo and sighed, "He probably blames me for not protecting Huang Ying back then."
"Huang Ying?"
When Gu Nan heard this name, his tone of excitement became even higher.
Her godmother!
She looked at Mr. Nie in great shock.
It is even more certain that the Nie Bin mentioned by Mr. Nie is Nie Yun.
Because Gu Nan's reaction was out of curiosity, Mr. Nie replied, "That's the girl Nie Bin secretly talked to, the girl who was caught and criticized."
"No more, no more."
Mr. Nie waved his hands with a sad expression, unwilling to recall the painful past.
Gu Nan's expression at this time could no longer be described as fantasy.
In her previous life, she knew that her godmother was a person with stories.
She resented all officials.
As long as they are cadres and the like, they will not be treated.
It turned out that such a tragic thing had happened to her.
Although Mr. Nie didn't go into details, Gu Nan could already fully understand what his godmother had gone through in his mind.
For a long time, Mr. Nie looked at the photo of Gu Nan and Lu Hao taking hand in hand on the iron bridge on the table, and said with soft eyebrows, "Look at how good society is now. Young people can walk hand in hand on the street casually, and they can
How wonderful it is to love freely under the sun."
Gu Nan felt mixed feelings in his heart when he saw the old man's helpless sigh.
That was the tragedy of an era.
It's not love's fault.
Gu Nan saw the tears flashing in Nie Laoyan's eyes at this moment, and her heart ached.
, "Then do you miss him?"
"How could you not want to?" Mr. Nie mentioned his nephew, and his tone began to become more subdued, "I really want to meet him in my lifetime."
Gu Nan said, "Logically speaking, if you go to the countryside, you should have an address."
"Twenty years ago, he moved from the place where he originally went to the countryside to another place. I don't know where exactly."
He sent a letter to the place where he originally went to the countryside, but there was no reply.
Later, he also went to the countryside to look for him, but the local cadre said that he had been transferred.
Where exactly he went, no one knows.
Once the letter is broken, it is nowhere to be found.
"The countryside is so big and he deliberately hides it. It's really hard to find him."
Mr. Nie sighed, "I'm getting old too. Maybe I should have some regrets in life. I can't force it. No matter where he is, as long as everything goes smoothly, that's enough."
From Mr. Nie's words, Gu Nan roughly figured out why Nie Yun settled in their village.
Twenty years ago, he must have been looking for information about Huang Ying.
, but twenty years ago, he returned to Lancheng to attend his grandmother's funeral, and learned that Huang Ying had passed away. Then, he was disheartened, so he returned to the countryside, changed his place, changed his name, and retired to the countryside.
No wonder Nie Yun was so shocked when he deliberately provided him with clues about Huang Ying in front of Nie Yun.
But why didn't he dare to see Huang Ying?
Are you afraid to face it or do you have something else to hide?
Gu Nan now confirmed that her master Nie Yun was the nephew Nie Bin mentioned by Mr. Nie.
But she was struggling with how to tell Mr. Nie the news?
She should tell Mr. Nie.
But, how should I say it so that it doesn’t seem so sudden?
No matter how strong Mr. Nie is, he is still an old man. The last time Chen Youde came to see Lu Hao, he fainted from the stimulation and woke up with hemiplegia.
Gu Nan had a psychological shadow and did not dare to provoke the elderly at will.
She was struggling with the words in her heart, and the sound of the clock on the wall disrupted her thoughts.
Mr. Nie looked at five o'clock in the afternoon and began to urge her, "Nan Nan, didn't you say you wanted to cook for me? Do you have food at home?"
"Grandpa, yes. I knew you were coming, so I went to buy groceries. You can try my cooking tonight." Gu Nan gathered her thoughts and planned to cook first.
When the old man had eaten and drank enough and Gu Yahui and Lu Hao were by her side, she would tell Old Nie the news.
For the old man, this is great news.
Mr. Nie said, "Xiao Hao and Ya Hui are about to get off work."
"You sit and watch TV first, and I'll cook for us." Gu Nan got up and turned on the TV, letting Mr. Nie watch it first, and then went to the kitchen.
When the meal was halfway done, Lu Hao and Gu Yahui came back from get off work.
Gu Yahui knew that grandpa was coming to Lu Hao's house today, so he came with Lu Hao and planned to send grandpa home after dinner.
Gu Nan specially cooked their hometown's special stew for Mr. Nie.
In early winter, when the weather turns cold, eating a bowl of hot stew will warm your whole body.
Gu Nan also bought steamed buns with stew..
"Grandpa, are you here?" Lu Hao greeted Mr. Nie in a gentle tone when he saw Mr. Nie watching TV at home.
Mr. Nie raised his head and glanced at them, "You guys are really punctual in getting off work. You didn't stay in the hospital for a moment longer."
"I'll get off work if I have nothing to do today. You can't just ask us to work overtime and not let us get off work. Doctors are also human beings and need to balance work and rest."
Gu Yahui retorted, picked up the pineapple on the plate and started knocking it.
As a result, I knocked so hard that I almost broke my tooth.
"Oh, how can I eat this thing if it's so hard?"
Gu Nan came out with the stew, looked at Gu Yahui's funny grin, and said with a smile, "Look, the quality of young people today is just not as good as that of old people. Grandpa was very happy, but you are too young to bite."
Mr. Nie glanced at Gu Yahui faintly and snorted, "You guys, you've eaten too much and too well, and your teeth have become soft. My teeth are made by chewing tree bark."
Gu Yahui rolled his eyes and thought, "Have you, a professor, ever chewed tree bark?"
Lu Hao couldn't wait to ask, "Grandpa, where are the photos?"
Mr. Nie raised his chin and motioned to him, "Put it on the TV cabinet over there."
Lu Hao said to Mr. Nie, "I asked Yahui to bring his camera over and take a new photo of it. I can take the photo and develop it later. If this photo is lost, it might as well be a memory."
Without the film, the photo studio cannot develop it, so it can only be backed up in this way.
When Mr. Nie heard this, his expression brightened and he nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, that's a good idea. Take a photo and develop a few more."
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still dark and the light was good, Mr. Nie took out the photo and asked Gu Yahui to take a photo.
After Gu Yahui took the photo, Gu Nan's stew was also served on the table.
"Eat quickly, how about you try the stew I made?"
Gu Yahui sniffed his nose, looking intoxicated, "Well...that's the smell."
Mr. Nie looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What does it smell like?"
"The taste of red and white affairs in the countryside."
