Father Su was so delighted by his son's praise that he looked at the travel bag with an unnatural look.
"Ever since you married Jiaojiao, your mouth has become sweeter and sweeter. Your mother even thought I was old and wouldn't buy me any clothes. Haha..."
"My mother saw how beautiful you looked in your new clothes, and she will definitely buy you a lot of clothes in the future."
When Su Shuoci saw that his father particularly liked the new clothes, he suddenly felt very happy.
He also constantly hinted to his parents that they should spend the money they earned on themselves.
Father Su pointed to the paper boxes in the travel bag and said, "Xiao Wu, look at what's in those boxes?"
"Xiao Wu, don't look through them. Those boxes contain facial masks. Jiaojiao specially gave them to my parents for facial use."
"What? Give it to me, hehe, why would an old man like me need a facial mask? Jiaojiao is so thoughtful."
Although Father Su said no, his expression did not show that he did not want it. His face showed that he really wanted to apply the facial mask.
Sheng Shiwu started rummaging through the travel bag again and saw three pairs of leather boots in a plastic bag.
He immediately shouted excitedly: "Wow, come and see, there is wool inside these leather boots, Uncle Su, come and try it."
When Song Zijie heard Sheng Shiwu's surprised voice, he hurried over. When he saw the leather boots in the bag, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Oh my god, these are actually a pair of high leather boots with fur inside. They shouldn't get wet even on a snowy day!"
Mother Su covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the three pairs of high boots. "Old man, these two pairs of leather boots must have been bought for us by Jiaojiao."
As she spoke, she handed the pair of large-sized leather boots to Su's father, and she herself couldn't let go of her pair of leather boots and looked at them carefully.
Tears fell down her face. Her daughter-in-law always gave them the best things, just wanting them to live a decent life.
And she! She and the old man had worn themselves out, their faces wrinkled and pale...
Father Su didn't notice her tears, and continued to smile, "Haha... I'll wear these down jackets and leather boots to Jiaojiao when she comes back."
"Old man, I will buy you two new sets of clothes tomorrow." Su's mother raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes.
Su Shuoci couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw how much his parents took care of the clothes and shoes Jiaojiao bought for them.
He said softly to his parents, "Dad, Mom, Jiaojiao bought these specially for you to wear now. When we come back, she will buy more."
Su Shuoci did not lie, because his wife had space, and these down jackets and leather boots were actually from her department store.
Song Zijie looked at the pair of leather boots in amazement, "Brother Su, when you go home for the New Year, can you..."
Su Shuoci interrupted Song Zijie and said gently, "Okay, you can write down the sizes of your parents and grandfather to me, so that we can fit them when we drive home for the New Year."
"Brother Su, are you serious? I'll give you the price first, and I might buy a few more pairs."
"OK."
"Brother Su...can you bring me a few pairs of furry leather boots?" Sheng Shiwu asked cautiously.
"Who do you want to buy it for?" Su Shuoci asked in a cold voice.
"My grandfather, my father, my eldest brother and me." Sheng Shiwu saw that Su Shuoci looked unhappy, but he still said it.
"Well, tell me what size your grandfather and you wear, and I'll bring it to you when you go home. Jiaojiao has already mailed it to your dad and big brother."
When Su Shuoci saw that Sheng Shiwu didn't mention buying it for his second brother and sister, his expression relaxed a lot.
"Hey, I'll go to the kitchen and bring you breakfast. It's almost dawn now. Call Jiaojiao after you finish eating." Father Su said with a smile.
Song Zijie and Sheng Shiwu also sat down to have breakfast together. They had gotten up at three in the morning to pick up Su Shuoci at the train station, and they were also hungry at this time.
It was almost six o'clock after breakfast. When Su Qinchun got up, she saw that the lights in her living room were brightly lit.
This was something she hadn't seen in the past two months. Since her elder brother and sister-in-law left, her parents were nowhere to be seen every time she got up in less than half a month.
Her parents were actually still at home today. She ran downstairs and shouted excitedly, "Brother, you're back?"
"Chun Nizi, get up. Come over and see me. Your sister-in-law bought you a down jacket and fur boots. Dad will go get some water to wash your face."
When Father Su saw his daughter coming downstairs, he immediately put down his chopsticks and said happily that he was still wearing a down jacket and was really warm.
"My sister-in-law also bought so many things for me. Big brother, please thank her on my behalf."
"Chun Nizi, your elder brother worked hard to carry it back for us." Mother Su smiled so hard that all the wrinkles on her face spread out, and she looked even more kind.
"Thank you, brother." Su Qinchun was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. It was mainly because her brother's return home made her feel the warmth of home again.
Su Qinchun tried the down jacket first, which fit her perfectly and she liked it very much. She also tried the leather boots, which were really comfortable.
She wore her leather boots as she brushed her teeth and washed her face. She felt that today's meat buns were particularly delicious. It was almost seven o'clock when they finished breakfast.
"Brother, I have to go to school. Can you call my sister-in-law?"
"She usually hasn't gotten up at this time, why don't we..." Before Su Shuoci could finish his words, he heard the phone ringing in the living room.
He rushed over and picked up the microphone, [Hello~]
[Su Shuoci? Why aren't you going to bed yet? You haven't slept all day and all night, aren't you tired?]
Gu Jiaojiao didn't expect that it was Su Shuoci who answered the phone. She thought she would sleep better if he was not at home making a fuss, but she was not used to it.
Dependence is really a terrible habit. When he is not at home, although she does not suffer from insomnia, she does wake up very early.
Su Shuoci did not answer immediately. In the silence, it seemed as if an invisible current was flowing between the two of them through the telephone line.
They seemed to be communicating silently through the thin telephone line, feeling each other's throbbing.
[Wife, you ask so many questions at once, how should I answer? Do you miss me?] Su Shuoci asked in a low voice.
He also knew that there was someone else in the living room, but he just couldn't suppress his longing for her and wanted to ask her if she missed her as much as he did.
They often talked on the phone when they were in the imperial capital, but nothing could make him feel nervous like a long-distance call.
Although Su Shuoci's voice was very low, the few people in the living room who were listening attentively still heard his whispers.
They thought to themselves that Su Ge (the son) was such a shameless person.
[Yes, a little.]
[Just a little? Ahem... Jiaojiao, Mom and Dad, and Chunnizi all want to talk to you.]
Su Shuoci wanted to raise his voice to ask her, but he was afraid that his family in the living room would laugh at him, so he quickly changed the subject.
[Haha...Su Shuoci, let's talk about it tonight. Give them the phone number.]
Gu Jiaojiao laughed out loud on the other end. She could imagine the man's awkward look.
