Traveling through time with spatial abilities, the scientific research genius is a little sweet.

Chapter 172 Comforting Su Jianjun

Su Nuannuan and Su Daliang didn't have to wait long before Li Gang came over with two pieces of cured meat.

He handed the cured meat to Su Daliang and said.

"This is ten catties of cured pork. Each piece weighs five catties, and I specially picked out the two fattest pieces for you."

When Su Daliang saw Li Gang return, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took the cured meat, weighed it in his hand, and found that the two pieces of cured meat weighed ten jin (5 kg). A smile finally appeared on his face.

He smiled and said to Li Gang.

"Section Chief Li, thank you."

Section Chief Li waved his hand, appearing every inch the good leader who serves the people.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. It's getting late, you should go home now."

After he finished speaking, Li Gang glanced at Su Nuannuan unintentionally.

Su Nuannuan smiled throughout and didn't glance at Li Gang even once.

After saying goodbye to Li Gang, the two began walking home.

It was already dark when they got back. The two could only rely on the reflection of the snow on the ground to get home.

The night was cold and windy, and Su Daliang wanted to take off his coat and give it to Su Nuannuan. However, Su Nuannuan refused.

Although she was cold, she had already put many hand warmers on the inside of her clothes. She wasn't worried about getting cold at all.

Su Daliang didn't insist after Su Nuannuan refused. He just stood in front of Su Nuannuan whenever he left.

When the two arrived home, their family was still packing.

Su Daliang handed the two pieces of cured meat he had bought to Chen Xiuting.

Chen Xiuting took it, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at the glistening cured meat.

"This cured meat is good; your eldest and second eldest sisters will definitely like it."

After saying that, he looked at Su Daliang and Su Nuannuan.

"You two go soak your feet quickly, there's food in the kitchen. After you eat, go back to your room and go to sleep."

Su Nuannuan and Su Daliang nodded in agreement. The two first found a foot bath basin, put hot water into it, and began to soak their feet.

Soon, their feet, which had been a little cold, gradually warmed up. After a while, the warmth spread to their bodies, and they felt warm as well.

After soaking her feet, Su Nuannuan felt much more comfortable.

After pouring out the water, Su Nuannuan and Su Daliang began to eat.

Dinner consisted of freshly steamed cornbread, served with spicy cabbage that Chen Xiuting had taken from a jar. In addition, there was a bowl of sliced ​​roast duck.

Su Nuannuan doesn't eat much; she only ate one steamed bun and was full.

After Su Nuannuan finished eating, Su Daliang poured the rest into his own bowl.

After Su Nuannuan finished eating, she saw Chen Xiuting still tidying up. Actually, they had already packed their own things. However, Chen Xiuting wanted to bring some things from home for Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan knew she couldn't help much, so she didn't interfere and went back to her room.

Back in her room, Su Nuannuan saw the watch on the table that she had prepared to give to Su Jianjun.

Su Nuannuan slapped her forehead, feeling regretful.

How could I have forgotten about that?

Actually, it's not Su Nuannuan's fault. Although she's only been back for two days, a lot has happened at home.

Su Nuannuan sighed.

At the same time, she was also very fortunate that she was at home. Otherwise, her second sister's daughter would have been truly doomed.

Su Nuannuan picked up her watch and left the room.

When I came out, I saw Su Jianjun sitting on the steps by the door, constantly stroking his head. His already somewhat messy hair became even more frizzy under Su Jianjun's large hands.

Su Nuannuan knew that Su Jianjun was very worried about his second sister and her child.

She took her watch, not caring that it was dirty, and sat down next to Su Jianjun.

"Dad, are you worried about Yueyue?"

Su Jianjun nodded, his usually tall figure now appearing somewhat dejected. A rare hint of vulnerability appeared on his resolute face. "Sigh, it's all my fault. Back then, I didn't stop your two older sisters from marrying so far away. Now that this has happened, I can't even go see them."

Su Nuannuan knew that Su Jianjun was blaming himself for not being able to see his eldest and second sisters, so she hugged his arm and comforted him.

“Dad, this isn’t your fault. The people of Hongqi Village can’t do without you. We’ll go visit my eldest and second eldest sisters.”

Su Jianjun patted Su Nuannuan's head and said gently.

"When you get there, please take good care of your two older sisters for your father. If they need anything, just write to me and I'll send it to you."

Su Nuannuan nodded.

Although she knew that even if her eldest and second eldest sisters were truly lacking something, Su Jianjun wouldn't have the chance to get it for them, she still wanted to reassure him in this way.

Su Nuannuan sat with Su Jianjun for a while longer.

In the end, Su Jianjun told Su Nuannuan to go back to her room.

"Go back quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow to go to the train station."

"Okay, Dad."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan did not leave immediately, but handed a square box that she had been holding to Su Jianjun.

Su Jianjun looked at the box with some doubt, picked it up and weighed it in his hand, and asked in confusion.

"Nuan Nuan, what's this?"

Su Jianjun had never used a watch before and did not know that the box contained a watch.

Su Nuannuan smiled and said to Su Jianjun.

"Dad, this is what I bought for you in Beijing. I forgot to give it to you yesterday. Open it and see if you like it."

Upon seeing that it was a gift from his daughter, Su Jianjun's face broke into a big smile.

"Okay, let me see what good stuff my daughter gave me this time."

After saying that, Su Jianjun opened the box.

The first thing that catches the eye is an exquisite and understated watch. The watch face is made of quartz glass, and it has a mechanical movement inside. The strap is a black cowhide strap that Su Nuannuan specially selected, which looks low-key and understated.

Su Jianjun stared at the watch, his eyes wide open.

"Nuan Nuan, this...this is...a watch!"

Su Nuannuan nodded with a smile.

“I bought this specifically. You didn’t have anything to tell the time, so I saved up and bought one.”

As Su Nuannuan said this, she still felt a little uneasy. After all, she had taken the watch directly from her spatial storage. And right now, she had a whole bunch more in there.

Su Jianjun watched Su Nuannuan's mouth open and close, but he just couldn't understand the meaning behind her words.

"You said you saved up money to buy this?"

Su Nuannuan nodded and continued speaking.

“I can earn at least 500 yuan a month, and I have quite a lot of savings now. Next year, I will buy one for my mom too.”

Su Jianjun swallowed hard and asked Su Nuannuan for confirmation.

"You didn't earn that money from translation, did you?"

Su Nuannuan nodded, feeling extremely uneasy.

Unlike Su Nuannuan, Su Jianjun's eyes lit up several degrees when he heard Su Nuannuan's words.

He finally realized how easy it is for intellectuals to make money.

Thinking about his three sons taking the college entrance exams next year, Su Jianjun felt a surge of excitement.

He didn't know if his second and third sons would pass the exam. His eldest son, however, was certain to pass.

When they got to university, they also had Da Liang do some kind of translation work so he could earn money to get married.

Seeing Su Jianjun's joyful expression, Su Nuannuan didn't disturb his reverie and quietly returned to her room.
