Wang Shuping smiled and said, "No matter who it is, as long as two people love each other and live a good life together, that's all that matters."
“Shuping is right,” Zhao Dajiao said with a smile. “Brother Shuliang is good-looking and learned, so of course he should find a good wife. There aren’t many Chinese people abroad, so there might not be any good girls. But there are good girls among the foreigners, so it’s a good match.”
"Oh, I see that Third Aunt is very satisfied with Anna. Third Aunt looks very healthy and much younger than before," Liang Hongyu said. This Third Aunt has had a tough time. If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't be able to go on living after their son disappeared and their husband died.
But Auntie San was alive and well, and even her own son came to visit her.
Those who can't let go of their worries, even if their son is very successful, will die young and never enjoy any happiness.
Wang Shuping nodded and said, "Yes, Zhenghan and Zhengmin have also been well educated by Anna. They grew up abroad and never looked down on our poor and remote place."
“Yes, look at how good those two kids are, and what they’re wearing, tsk tsk tsk…” Zhao Dajiao said enviously, “It’s just that even if we had clothes like that, we couldn’t wear them.”
“Our sweet girl is still the prettiest,” Liang Hongyu said. “Her little face is so delicate, you could almost squeeze water out of it. By the way, who are those two old ladies? They look so familiar.”
“Yes, I think Tian Tian looks a bit like one of the old ladies,” Zhao Dajiao said. They had a guess in mind, which is why they asked that question.
Wang Shuping knew that Zhao Dajiao and Liang Hongyu weren't the type to gossip, so she whispered, "We're such good friends, I'd feel bad if I kept this from you two. But before I say anything, please keep it a secret for our family. We would be extremely grateful."
"What are you saying?" Zhao Dajiao said. "Sister Shuping, if it's inconvenient to say it, then don't say it, so as not to put you in a difficult position."
“Yes, although we won’t gossip about it outside, we’ll let it go if it puts us in a difficult position,” Liang Hongyu said. Although she was curious, she didn’t want to put the honest Wang Shuping in a difficult position.
After all, Wang Shuping is the village's expert, and the village's peach orchard will depend on Wang Shuping and He Jingyu in the future.
“My two sisters-in-law treat me like family, so I can’t be distant with them either,” Wang Shuping said. “This can’t be kept secret. Anyone with eyes can see that my daughter and mother-in-law look alike. Even if no one says anything, everyone can guess. That’s my mother-in-law. She’s an overseas Chinese from the United States. She had to go back to China for some business back then, but then our country blocked her from coming back. This time, it was my brother Shuliang who helped me find her.”
"I see, no wonder they look so alike," Zhao Dajiao said with a sigh. They had just guessed that even if she wasn't He Tiantian's grandmother, she must be a relative of He Tiantian's family.
“Yes, your mother-in-law is beautiful, but she seems difficult to get along with,” Liang Hongyu whispered. “I’m not trying to sow discord between you two, I just think your mother-in-law is very domineering.”
Wang Shuping smiled and said, "Tian Tian also said that her mother-in-law is a very strong-willed person, but our family hasn't seen each other for more than 20 years, so there shouldn't be any problems."
“You have a good temperament. Whoever marries you will surely have a much more peaceful family,” Liang Hongyu said. “You’re right. It is indeed a good thing for a family to be reunited. Sister Shuping, I only said that because I think we have a good relationship. Please don’t take it to heart.”
Wang Shuping smiled and said, "How could that be! I know you meant well."
The three women were all efficient, and in no time they had prepared two tables of food.
After Zhao Dajiao and Liang Hongyu finished their work, they went home and did not stay for dinner.
With so many people, if they stayed, there would be even more people, making things even more chaotic.
When Qi Shuliang, Qi Dazhu, and He Jingyu brought Old Man Qi home, the meal was already prepared.
Qi Shuliang had his third grandmother and old man Qi sit on chairs on either side of the eight-immortal table in the main room, and then placed his father's portrait on the table.
Qi Shuliang, along with his wife and children, kowtowed and paid their respects to his mother, father, and second uncle once again.
"Alright, get up, all of you," said Grandma Qi. "You are all good children. Your father and grandfather in heaven would be very happy. Well, the food is ready, hurry up and eat."
"Yes, Third Brother is so lucky to have such a good son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren," said Old Man Qi, expressing his envy.
Thinking of his son and wife who died unjustly, Old Man Qi felt a pang of sorrow.
Everything is fate. He has a tough fate and is destined to be alone for the rest of his life.
"Alright, Shuliang is your nephew, he will take care of you in the future," said Grandma Qi, comforting Old Man Qi.
She knew what Old Man Qi meant.
She was aware of the help Old Man Qi had given her.
She had no way to repay him before, but now at least she has found her son to take care of Old Man Qi in his old age and see him off in his final days, thus repaying him.
There were two tables, and the dishes were the same.
There was one table for men and one table for women, except that there were two bottles of wine on the men's table.
Wang Shuping took out her mother's peach blossom wine and poured a cup for Anna, Bai Qiongyu, Xianglan, and He Tiantian.
"Auntie, why don't I have any?" Qi Zhengmin asked, sniffing the peach blossom fragrance in the air.
He Tiantian patted Qi Zhengmin's small hand to stop her from reaching for the wine bottle, saying, "You're still too young to drink alcohol. Although peach blossom wine is a little sweet and smells fragrant, it's still alcohol after all."
"You all have some, and I want to drink some too," Qi Zhengmin pleaded. "Just a little bit."
“Zhengmin, you’re too young to drink that,” Anna said. “You can drink plain water.”
Qi Zhengmin was unhappy when he heard it was just plain water.
Wang Shuping smiled and said, "Don't worry, although you can't drink peach blossom wine, I still have peach blossom honey! I'll make you some peach blossom honey, and you'll definitely like it."
After saying that, Wang Shuping took out a bamboo tube from the house, opened it, scooped two spoonfuls into a bowl, poured in warm water, stirred it with chopsticks, and a peach blossom fragrance wafted out.
"It really smells like peach blossoms, thank you, Auntie," Qi Zhengmin said. "Mom, have some."
Anna smiled and said, "You can drink it."
Although dinner was simple, everyone was hungry and ate with relish.
I didn't take a shower last night because it was cold here.
Wang Shuping, being from the city, asked He Jingyu to go to Hujia Village to buy ten wooden basins—three larger ones and seven smaller ones.
In this way, even without showering, you can still maintain personal hygiene.
After the meal, everyone drank hawthorn water. Grandma Qi San said, "Shuliang, Anna, Zhengmin, Zhenghan, Sister Bai, Sister Lan. This is what our hometown is like. It's not as developed as America, nor as luxurious as the hotels in Beijing. This is just a farmhouse. You might not be used to it, but please understand that we came here for our family, so please forgive us and don't mind."
