Lee explained.
Su Huaiyi said "hmm".
He didn't really think there was anything going on between the two of them, he just wanted the old woman to explain to him in front of Gu Shen.
This is probably the man's desire to win, so he can prove that he is the one Shuangshuang cares about the most.
[Little Sloppy, I didn't expect Zheng Jianzheng was sloppy when he was a child, otherwise how could he have this nickname. ]
Zheng Yanjin curled his lips and smiled. Who would have thought that his father, who was always so serious, had the nickname of "Little Sloppy".
Gu Shen was unhappy and deliberately said something that only he and Li knew.
"Shuangshuang, do you still remember He Yaya? She has changed her name to Gu Ya and married the sloppy guy. Yan Jin's mother was Yaya back then. I remember you liked Yaya so much back then and praised her for being cute all day long."
Li was speechless.
She had only mentioned it casually at the time, and what she was praising was not the cuteness of one-year-old He Yaya, but the small mole on He Yaya's ear.
Some time ago, she recognized Gu because of the red mole on his ear.
Li raised her hand and said, "Stop, don't call me Shuangshuang, just call me Li."
[The Grand Minister of Agriculture is really a man who brings up all sorts of issues. Gu Ya almost got me beaten up.]
Gu Shen blew his beard and glared.
Hey, you He Yaya, I'll talk to Xiao Lazi about this when I get back.
Li wanted to make things clear today.
She stood up and said, "I shouldn't talk about my personal affairs at my son's banquet today, but I still have to make it clear."
"Gu Shen, I rejected you very clearly at the beginning, and I also said that I would retire from the underworld. I hope you won't bother me anymore."
"I understand!" Gu Shen nodded, "But we agreed that if you use that identity again, I will come to find you."
As if afraid that Li would overthink it, Gu Shen hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry, I just came to see you. Now that I see you have a lot of children and grandchildren and you are all happy, I feel relieved."
"Eat, let's eat." Gu Shen picked up his chopsticks first.
He did that on purpose just now, just to test whether Huaiyi cared about Shuangshuang.
Now that they are both happy and contented, that's all! Gu Shen took the wine and drank it all in one gulp. His throat felt hot, then sweet again. It seemed to intoxicate his heart that had been sealed for decades.
Sometimes he thought, maybe the order of appearance is really important! Su Huaiyi toasted, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, I toast you a glass."
In the end, the two of them drank so much that their faces turned red, and they fell asleep on the table.
Zheng Yanjin carried Gu Shen on his back and put him on the carriage.
The banquet was over and everyone left.
Li brought some sobering soup to Su Huaiyi.
After drinking the soup, perhaps he became a little more sober, and Su Huaiyi began to smile foolishly.
"Old lady, I knew you cared about me the most. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to help me up when I fell to the ground..."
After saying that, he fell asleep again.
Li was helpless, but her eyes were full of warmth.
Yeah, why don't you care.
She recalled the scene when she first met Su Huaiyi and couldn't help but smile.
Su Yun was curious, "Grandma, what other identity do you have?"
"What identity? Identity is identity." Li started talking nonsense again.
Su Yun simply stopped asking.
[No hurry, I will know it later anyway. ]
…
After discussion, the Su family prepared to move to the capital.
One reason is to enable Su Bing to better prepare for the imperial examination next spring.
Second, Su Huaiyi and Li also figured it out. Since they had the conditions, they might as well move to the capital. Perhaps one day, their second son would come to Beijing, and the family would eventually be reunited.
Early October.
The land was rented to the chief of the Sioux tribe, and the rent was paid every year.
This time I go, I will come back to worship my ancestors during the Qingming Festival every year.
After everything was arranged, the Su family set off.
When leaving, Wang Lin burst into tears.
Su Yun sat in the carriage and waved her hands.
"Go back. I'll be back next year during the Qingming Festival."
Su Yun always felt that she was the unfaithful man who went on a long journey and never came back.
She was a little nervous and didn't dare to look at Wang Lin.
The journey was smooth.
Two days later, the Su family had arrived in the capital and rented a small courtyard.
It is worth mentioning that it is still in the alley of South Street.
The yard was tidied up and tidy, and Su Huaiyi also bought a persimmon tree and planted it next to the courtyard wall.
At this time, the small tree was only as tall as Su Yun, with a few lonely leaves hanging on it.
"Mom, let's go out for a walk." Liu Xia said.
Li smiled and nodded, "Bring the three children along, it's just right for them to broaden their horizons. The last time I came to Beijing, I didn't even walk around a street."
[Of course not, they are all in jail.] Su Yun nodded secretly.
Li touched the heads of Su Yun and the other two. The children were indeed wronged that time.
"Grandma, I want to eat candy cake."
Su Xingxue has made progress this month and can finally pronounce words clearly.
Maybe he was scared after getting into trouble and getting beaten last month, so he isn’t making trouble as much anymore.
Su Huaiyi always believed that if he didn't teach his children well, others would teach them a lesson when he went out. So he simply beat Su Xingxue to scare her! He also made three rules: if she did it again, the whole family would be beaten up in mixed doubles.
Now Su Xingxue still feels a little scared when she thinks of the scene where her buttocks were swollen from being spanked that night.
Su Ruiwen walked with his hands behind his back, looking like a real old man.
He raised his head, serious.
"Milk, I want to eat too."
"Okay, let's go out shopping and buy some brown sugar and make some fried brown sugar cakes." Li smiled.
As soon as a few people went out, Su Huaiyi followed Liu Quanzheng and left.
Su Bing was the only one left at home.
Su Bing:? Doesn’t he feel like he exists at home? This is definitely isolation!
…
Just outside the alleyway of Su Yun's home is the bustling South Street.
Su Xingxue was running in front, standing on tiptoe from time to time to look at the strange things being sold on the roadside.
She pointed at the contents of the pot.
"What is this?"
"Whose child speaks so clearly? How cute! These are sugar-roasted chestnuts. Come, let me give you one to try."
The lady selling sugar-roasted chestnuts peeled the shelled chestnuts.
A golden chestnut was cooled and placed in Su Xingxue's little hand.
"Eat it."
"Thank you, it's delicious!" Su Xingxue opened her eyes slightly, her cheeks puffed up like a little squirrel, and she gave a thumbs up while eating.
The people around might have been attracted by her appearance, and the old lady’s stall was surrounded by people in an instant.
Su Xingxue was also squeezed out.
She hugged Li's thighs.
"Granny, eat some chestnuts."
"Okay, let's buy, buy, buy." Li nodded.
What makes her happiest now is that Xingxue is no longer naughty. If she continues to be so well-behaved, she will buy her a sack of chestnuts without saying a word.
After waiting in line for a long time, the Su family finally got their turn.
Suddenly, a fat woman cut in line. She crossed her arms and looked Li and his companions up and down.
She recognized Li and Su Yun from a distance. It was this old man and the young boy who caused her and her wife to suffer a setback at the government gate last time.
This time in the capital, these old and young will definitely suffer the consequences.
"Hey~ Isn't this the old lady from the countryside? Are you and your family country bumpkins who came to the city to look around?"
[It's so annoying~ No matter where I go, there are always people picking on me. I can't have a moment of peace and quiet every day.] Su Yun clenched her fists.
Without saying a word, she walked forward and pulled the man aside forcefully.
