In the evening, the family sat down for dinner.

Su Chengguo recounted the amusing incident from her recent visit to her mother-in-law's house.

It made everyone laugh nonstop.

Zhou Chunmei covered her mouth and smiled shyly, her eyes filled with admiration and joy as she looked at Su Chengguo.

Although it might be a bit of an exaggeration, it's true that my parents are 150% satisfied with Su Chengguo as their son-in-law.

As soon as Su Chengguo arrived at her parents' home, she was both sweet-talking and hardworking.

He chopped wood, carried water, and swept the floor at home, praising his mother for her strong abilities and skill in managing the household. He also mentioned that the chickens and ducks at his house were plumper than those at other people's houses. He then said that he had passed by someone's house and overheard them arguing, and that the chickens and ducks at that house looked thin and sickly.

She praised her father for having a good wife, praised her mother for looking young again, and praised her children for being obedient and sensible, etc.

After a round of flattery, her mother was so happy she couldn't stop smiling. She immediately went to the chicken coop to catch chickens and slaughter ducks. At mealtime, she even gave Su Chengguo a big chicken leg.

"When I was leaving, my mother-in-law cried, saying she couldn't bear to part with me..."

Su Chengguo then gave a final summary of the trip, and while everyone was listening attentively, he grabbed a pig's trotter and started eating it.

Sure enough, he's the smartest in the family. He has to concentrate more when eating, otherwise all the good food will go to the smartest guy.

"Brother, how does your mother-in-law treat you?"

Su Chengguo asked Su Chenggong with a smile.

Su Chenggong smiled and said, "My mother-in-law praised me for being steady and reliable. These past few days I've been helping my family harvest the crops, and I've been eating big meals of fish and meat every day."

He wasn't as sweet-talking as his younger brother, but his mother-in-law and father-in-law valued him highly.

Li Xue's brother would also ask for his opinion and thoughts.

The family was very happy there, and the children got along well with each other.

Su Chengguo gave Liu Xiaohua a thumbs up: "When it comes down to it, my mom is the most amazing. She gave birth to two such good sons."

Liu Xiaohua laughed: "Then I'm a hero."

Su Dahai smiled gently and replied, "Of course you are a great contributor; you deserve the most credit in the whole family."

With Liu Xiaohua around, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

My clothes are clean, the house is clean everywhere, and my heart is at peace.

In his heart, Liu Xiaohua was the greatest contributor to the family and a source of reassurance.

"Yes, Dad is right."

Li Xue smiled and agreed, then served Liu Xiaohua some food.

"Grandma, eat this!"

Several children followed suit and served food to Liu Xiaohua, and everyone was all smiles.

Liu Xiaohua's bowl was soon piled high.

Several children then served food to Dai Ping'an.

"Great-grandfather, eat this."

After clipping Dai Ping'an's hair, she clipped Su Dahai's hair.

Everyone had a big smile on their face.

After dinner, Li Xue and Zhou Chunmei cleaned up and let Liu Xiaohua go to rest.

It rained for two days on August 18th.

The family was busy with the harvested grain.

The weather was nice on August 21st.

The Su family father and son went to sea.

Liu Xiaohua, Zhou Chunmei, and Li Xue went to the fields to harvest grain.

We've planted some corn that's ready to harvest; we'll dry it and use it to feed the livestock.

Su Luo stayed at home to learn from Dai Ping'an and cooked lunch.

Besides Su Xuemin, who was in school, Su Tiantian's other older brothers all went to the fields.

Su Tiantian yawned and fell asleep while listening to Dai Ping'an's stern teaching voice.

That's right, she's out having fun again.

Everyone at home is busy, and no one is there to play with her. She also doesn't want to sleep, since she gets plenty of sleep at night.

Luckily, she's not an ordinary child, otherwise it would be so tiring.

Actually, Su Tiantian misunderstood. Ordinary children don't think that much. With enough to eat and drink, they have nothing to worry about. Many infants of this age are not playful, except for Su Tiantian.

As soon as Su Tiantian entered the sea, Yu Qing surrounded her.

"Brother Yuqing, I'm feeling great right now. I haven't been out playing for days. I've been very good..."

Before Yu Qing could speak, Su Tiantian spoke first.

Yu Qing wanted to persuade her to go back, but the little princess kept circling around him, her eyes so clear.

Su Tiantian's dragon form was very beautiful. Her white body had healthy scales like white jade. She was plump and her little rolls made Yu Qing unable to take her eyes off her.

This is a baby dragon! Who could resist her?

It was too late for Yu Qing to close his eyes now, so he could only say, "Well, okay... but can you go home after playing for half a day?"

I've compromised halfway, but not completely. When I try to persuade the little princess to go home later, I'll make sure to close my eyes early.

If you can't see it, you can harden your heart a little; being soft-hearted is a bad thing.

Su Tiantian nodded obediently: "Mmm-hmm."

Su Tiantian kept smiling as she went out to sea.

The ocean, the source of water, a familiar and welcoming atmosphere—this is her home.

Su Tiantian loved chasing schools of fish with Yu Qing; she had a lot of fun.

On the sea, Su Dahai and his two sons cast net after net.

Su Chengguo looked around on the deck. Su Chenggong walked over, patted Su Chengguo on the shoulder, and asked with concern, "You've been a little distracted since we set sail today. Are you feeling unwell?"

Su Chengguo shook her head, looking at the calm sea with a puzzled expression, and said, "Big brother, Yuqing didn't talk to me today. I think it's a bit strange. I called him, but he didn't respond..."

When they go out to sea, no matter how aloof Yuqing is or how much she thinks he talks, she will still talk to him for a bit.

But today, no matter what he said, Yuqing just ignored him.

If it weren't for the fact that the internet was flooded with posts as usual, he would have suspected that Yuqing wasn't home today.

This situation felt strangely familiar to Su Chengguo.

What exactly caught Yuqing's attention? Su Chengguo had a guess in her mind, but she felt that it shouldn't be like this, since the little guy was at home every day.

If she were to come out, Su Chengguo couldn't imagine what the situation would be like, and she was very worried.

Seeing Su Chengguo looking worried, Su Chenggong didn't know how to comfort her, since he couldn't hear Yu Qing's voice. He could only pat Su Chengguo on the shoulder and say, "Don't think too much."

"I've made up my mind."

Su Chengguo suddenly made up her mind.

Instead of guessing here, he might as well go down and take a look.

Su Chenggong looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What have you decided?"

Su Chengguo has a lot of ideas, and Su Chenggong can't keep up with his thinking. He doesn't know what good idea Su Chenggong has come up with now, since he was just frowning a moment ago.

"Brother, I want to wear a wetsuit and go down to take a look. Isn't this wetsuit for diving? It's not right for us to be so reluctant to use it."

Su Chengguo decided to put on a diving suit and go down to take a look.

He shouted here, but Yuqing ignored him.

He wanted to go down and see what was down there that made Yuqing not talk to him.

Is the little guy really there?

Su Chengguo couldn't contain her excitement; her heart was pounding.

"Then be careful."

Su Chenggong hasn't used a diving suit much, and he doesn't really like going into the sea. Su Chengguo, on the other hand, likes it very much and wears it for an hour every time she goes out to sea, and she's had no problems with it.

"It's not even noon yet! Why are you already going into the sea?"

Su Dahai looked at Su Chengguo putting on her diving suit and couldn't help but ask, "This child doesn't seem like she's playful, why is she suddenly in the mood to play today?"
