Chapter 165 After Returning Home
She was still young, and he was afraid that speaking rashly would frighten her.
So I want to show her through my actions first, let her gradually get used to being with me, and then confess my feelings when the time is right, and then everything will fall into place naturally.
Unfortunately, the girl didn't seem to catch his attention, acting hot and cold towards him, leaving him quite confused. Several times he wanted to confess, but felt the timing wasn't right. As a result, she's now gone, and he still hasn't confessed.
Thinking of this, Shang Ziming frowned, feeling somewhat irritated.
Qin Wan was bright and generous, and her arrival in Xiaheshan Village caused quite a stir, making the educated youth compound, which was already in turmoil, even more unsettled.
Su Xiao returned to Nancheng, exited the train station, took a bus, walked a short distance, and soon arrived home.
The courtyard gate was slightly ajar, and Su Xiao pushed it open and went inside without any effort.
"Grandpa, I'm back." Grandpa Su was tidying up the vegetables in the garden in the yard.
Yes, the old man came to town, but he couldn't get used to the idle days, so he started a vegetable garden in the open space in the yard. Now the seedlings are growing quite well.
"Hey, you're back." Grandpa Su looked a little flustered, put down his small hoe, and patted the mud off his hands. "You must be tired. I'll go get you some water."
"No need, I'll go back to my room first." Su Xiao stopped him and walked straight to her room, where the lock was still on the door.
Su Xiao was very satisfied. She took out her key, opened the door, and went inside.
The room had been unoccupied for over a month, so there was bound to be some dust. She found a basin, grabbed a rag, and began cleaning.
After going back and forth between the room and the well a few times, it was quickly cleaned up.
Grandma Su, who was in her room, had already heard the commotion in the yard, and her eyes were fixed on the doorway.
After waiting for a while without seeing Su Xiao come over, his already unpleasant expression turned even more unpleasant.
"Old man," she pounded the bed in frustration.
"You're here." Grandpa Su heard the voice, immediately dropped his hoe, and came in to ask, "What's wrong?"
"Who's here?" Grandma Su asked, her voice rising slightly, though she already knew the answer.
Su Xiao thought for a moment, put down the basin, walked back to her room, opened her backpack, took out a dried chicken and a dried rabbit, and carried them to the door of the next room.
Grandpa Su was talking to Grandma Su in a low voice, very patiently, but he always seemed a little humble.
"Hmph, hmph..." Grandma Su snorted several times, looking like she was difficult to please.
"Grandma, Grandpa," Su Xiao greeted as she entered the house.
Grandma Su squinted at her, her face twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything.
“There are mountains where I was sent to the countryside. These are wild pheasants and rabbits that some of the other educated youth caught. I bought two of them to bring back for Grandma to make soup to nourish her body.” Su Xiao put the chicken and rabbit on the table next to her and said with a smile, “Grandma, I’m coming back to take an exam. I’ll leave after I finish the exam.”
Su Xiao wasn't afraid of the two of them; she just thought it was better to avoid trouble. She was only going back to stay for a few days anyway, and her grandmother was still in bed, so there was no need to argue with them.
She's just concerned about saving face; just give it to her.
"Hmm." Grandma Su squinted slightly and gave a soft "hmm," which could be considered an answer.
Su Xiao smiled and nodded, "Then Grandma, please rest well. I won't bother you any longer."
Su Xiao turned and left.
Grandpa Su sat on the edge of the bed, sighed softly, and said gently, "Why did you have to do this? The child has finally come back for a visit."
Grandma Su averted her gaze and remained silent.
