Chapter 168 Visiting Relatives and Friends
Su Xiao sincerely expressed her gratitude, saying, "I'll treat you to a meal at the state-run restaurant later."
"Okay," Huang Feiyan readily agreed, without further hesitation; it was just a small token of her appreciation.
"Xiaoxiao." Someone called her again.
Su Xiao wondered to herself, was she really that popular at school?
Looking back, they saw Cao's soldiers.
"Cao, is there something you need?" Su Xiao asked him calmly.
“Uh, that…” Cao Bing was caught off guard and was speechless for a moment.
"If there's nothing else, then I have to go, I'll be going now." Su Xiao didn't want to talk to him anymore, turned around and winked at Huang Feiyan, then quickly left.
Cao Bing watched her departing figure, pursed his lips, and his eyes dimmed.
"Class has started, go back now." Huang Feiyan was also helpless, not knowing how to comfort him.
"Okay." Cao Bing nodded, turned and left without saying another word.
The morning after returning, Su Xiao took the porridge and a bowl of steamed eggs that she had cooked in her space and went to the hospital to deliver breakfast.
After inquiring about Grandma Hua's condition, Su Xiao learned that it had improved significantly since yesterday. Seeing Grandma Hua getting healthier day by day, Su Xiao was very happy.
There's also a letter that Grandpa Hua wrote to Grandma Hua in her online space. It's in the hospital, so it's inconvenient to take it out to her. She's also afraid that Grandma Hua will get too agitated and it will worsen her condition.
Therefore, Su Xiao planned to give her the letter after she was discharged from the hospital and settled back home, and at the same time have a good talk with her.
Seeing that Grandma Hua was getting better, Su Xiao was also in a better mood.
He prepared another basket of things and headed to the Shu family's house.
Xu Xiuyun opened the door and was surprised to see Su Xiao. After the surprise, she was happy. "Oh, Xiao Xiao, come in quickly. Old Shu, come out and see who it is..."
When Shu Zhendong saw Su Xiao, he was also surprised. Then, after thinking for a moment, he remembered something and said happily, "You came back to take the exam?"
“Yes, Uncle Shu.” Su Xiao took out two dried chickens and two dried rabbits from the basket. “These were caught by the educated youth in our educated youth compound. Uncle and Aunt Xu, please have a taste. I also brought you a letter from Brother Bowen.”
Shu Zhendong took the letter and started reading it. Xu Xiuyun looked at the chicken and rabbit and said, "You silly child, it's not easy for you to come back. Why did you bring anything? You should keep it for yourselves..."
"It's just a small token of my appreciation, nothing special," Su Xiao said with a smile.
Shu Zhendong read the letter quickly and laughed, "This kid is complaining again. It's really outrageous. He needs to be trained properly."
Xu Xiuyun took the letter and read it through. She said with heartache, "If the child is complaining, then he must be really suffering. If you don't feel sorry for him, fine, but why are you making such sarcastic remarks?"
“You’re such a spoiled child,” Shu Zhendong shook his head.
Xu Xiuyun was unconvinced and asked Su Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, tell me, how was your life in the countryside?"
Su Xiao laughed, "It was indeed very hard work. Bowen had never worked in the fields before, and he would get scolded if he didn't do well. But I found it quite interesting. I work at the farm, so it's not tiring. Bowen has always taken good care of me, so I really didn't suffer much..."
Su Xiao talked on and on about the interesting things that happened in Xiaheshan Village, which made Mr. and Mrs. Shu Zhendong smile and listen with great interest.
Because Shu Zhendong and Xu Xiuyun still had to go to work, she didn't stay long and prepared to say goodbye.
Xu Xiuyun was reluctant to leave and wished she could take leave from work.
Finally, it was Shu Zhendong who spoke up, inviting her over for dinner that evening, and they continued chatting until the conversation ended.
