Su Lan held her husband's hand and said, "From now on, the children and I will be your closest people. Everyone else is irrelevant to us."
Zhou Cheng thought the same way. He figured he would never see his parents again in this lifetime, so he wanted to cherish the people in front of him.
If there weren't so many people around, he definitely would have held his wife in his arms.
The car quickly returned to the tenement building, and Su Lan took out some money from her pocket and gave it to the driver.
"Master, please take this money!"
Old Wang waved his hand, "I'm just helping my brother out! I can't accept this money!"
Su Lan looked at Hu Youli, "Then I'll treat you to dinner another day!"
Hu Youli nodded with a smile, "Sure! I have to eat this kind of food, it's so delicious! It's a pity I didn't get enough rabbit meat today!"
Su Lan, "I'll definitely make sure you get your fill another day!"
Hu Youli said to Zhou Cheng, "Brother, go back and get some rest. A good night's sleep will make you a strong man again!"
Zhou Cheng patted her shoulder casually, "I won't thank you enough. From now on, you're my brother!"
The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
Although they weren't close before, after this incident, they became best friends!
Lu Zhixia looked at the sky outside and saw that it was getting dark. Then she checked her watch and realized that she had already missed the time when her child would be dismissed from school.
She couldn't help but worry whether Gu Lingxiao had picked up the child.
She had just gotten out of the car when she saw Gu Lingxiao's car approaching from a distance, so she quickly went over to it.
The moment the car stopped, she saw Gu Huailin sitting in the back seat and felt a great sense of relief.
"Thank goodness you managed to pick them up!"
Gu Lingxiao opened the car door and got out. "I arrived early today. Grandpa told me you went to the countryside! So I went to pick up the child. Has the matter been resolved?"
Lu Zhixia turned around and saw that they had already gone upstairs. "Well, the result was actually pretty good!"
Gu Lingxiao: "That's a pretty perfect ending!"
Lu Zhixia: "Has Grandpa not gone back yet? I'll go upstairs and call him down."
Gu Lingxiao said, "I'll call him down first, you can rest in the car for a while."
Lu Zhixia said, "Then I have to go upstairs too. I bought a rabbit today and I plan to make you guys dry pot rabbit meat tonight."
Gu Lingxiao turned to Xiao Wang and said, "Keep an eye on the child, let's go upstairs."
Xiao Wang didn't answer, but waved and watched them walk away one after the other. Then he turned back to the child and said...
"Your dad is so lucky, your mom is such a good cook!"
"That's for sure!" Gu Huailin said proudly. "How could my mother's cooking be bad?"
Xiao Wang touched his nose, thinking of the woman who had caused trouble at the door. Luckily, the child's personality was like his father's, otherwise the captain would have raised an ungrateful child!
These past few days, he's been driving his car to the back gate of the military base, not daring to go through the front, for fear of running into that difficult woman!
There was no other way; provincial leaders were currently conducting an inspection, and we couldn't afford any more mishaps!
Lu Zhixia went upstairs to pack her things, then went to the next room and saw her grandfather taking Zhou Cheng's pulse.
Grandpa Bai moved his hand away and said, "Your health is fine, but you've been dehydrated these past few days. You need to replenish your fluids gradually, and eat slowly, avoiding overeating!"
Su Lan was relieved after hearing this, "Thank you, Grandpa Bai!"
Grandpa Bai stood up. "That's all for today. It's getting late, we should head back."
Su Lan escorted them all the way to the stairwell and watched them go downstairs before turning around and going home.
When Aunt Pang saw her return, she quickly pulled her into the house.
"What happened?"
"Sigh, don't mention it, it's a long story, but it's all in the past." Su Lan didn't want to talk about her husband's troubles; walls have ears, and it wouldn't be good if people around heard.
"It's all in the past now." Aunt Pang didn't press further, but instead took out some dried radish that her family had given her from the cupboard.
"Do you have any of this at home? If not, take some home, soak it in water, and then mix it with other ingredients to eat?"
Su Lan picked one up and examined it, noticing that Aunt Pang's dried radish was dried quite well. She couldn't help but think of what Lu Zhixia had said: dried radish mixed with side dishes is something everyone loves. She could use it as a free gift when the new store opened, but if she dried it like that, the demand would be huge.
So she made a special trip back to her parents' home and asked them to dry more radishes.
Do you have a lot of dried radish at home?
Aunt Pang said, "It's alright! There aren't many vegetables to eat in winter, so I just dried a lot of them."
Su Lan whispered to her, "Xiaxia is preparing to open a shop, and she will need a lot of dried radishes. If you trust me, go back and have them dry more dried radishes. Yours will be the first to be purchased!"
Aunt Pang thought to herself, "What a great thing!" and quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll go back and tell them tomorrow. This thing isn't worth much in my family, but if we can sell it, my parents will definitely be happy!"
Su Lan said, "I haven't cooked dinner at home yet, so I'll head back now. We'll talk again when we have time!"
Aunt Pang filled a basin with dried radish. "Take this back with you."
Su Lan didn't stand on ceremony with her and took the basin from her hand.
"I'll have the child bring the basin back in a bit."
“Okay, whenever you want to deliver it,” Aunt Fatty replied.
Su Lan returned home with the basin and saw that the children had all come back and were gathered around Zhou Cheng. Knowing her husband wasn't getting enough rest, she went over and called out to him.
"Don't disturb Dad's rest, all of you come outside."
Zhou Yong clenched his fists and came to his mother's side. "Mom, tell me, is Dad being tortured over there?"
