Su Wei smiled and said, "It's pretty good. get off work and home, regular life, and I treat myself to a meal at the state-run restaurant after I get paid. Oh, and I also met a girl at the factory. But..."
His gaze softened when he spoke of the girl, then dimmed, and he said with a hint of self-deprecation, "After what happened with my mom and Peipei, it seems like it's all over again..."
Looking at his dejected expression, Su Xiao didn't know what to say to comfort him.
Fortunately, he adjusted himself and said, "If it's over, it's over. She's so good. It would be a real shame if she had stayed with me."
Hearing his self-deprecating tone, Su Xiao couldn't help but say, "Don't be too self-deprecating. If you and she can't be together, it just means you two aren't meant to be. You'll meet many people in the future. As long as you're hardworking and responsible, someone will eventually see your efforts and sincerity."
"Hearing what you said makes me feel much better." Su Wei smiled again. "It seems I really made the right decision to come here."
Su Wei chatted with Su Xiao for a while before leaving, humming a little tune.
Su Xiao stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching him walk with his hands in his pockets, still so nonchalant, and couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.
I never expected that after such a short time, they would be able to chat peacefully again. Life is truly unpredictable.
Time flies, and things get busy before the New Year: spring cleaning, paper cutting, pasting couplets, steaming buns, making dumplings... it seems like every day is busy.
Su Xiao admired paper-cutting the most. The paper-cuts made by Grandma Su were so lifelike, they were amazing.
Su Xiao and Huang Feiyan couldn't help but want to learn, and Grandma Su, without saying a word, taught them everything she knew.
The courtyard became lively again with the return of Su Xiao and Huang Feiyan, and Grandma Su and Grandpa Su's smiles grew wider.
Indeed, a family still needs people.
Su Xiao would also go to Grandma Hua's house next door every day to talk and chat with her and help her with some housework.
As the days passed and Grandma Hua's health improved, Su Xiao's anxiety gradually subsided.
She was incredibly grateful for her arrival, which had a butterfly effect, allowing certain things to change.
On New Year's Eve, Su Xiao cooked a delicious meal and enjoyed it immensely. Just like that, another year passed.
As the morning sun rises in the east, the new year arrives.
Aside from the Shu and Hua families, Su Xiao had no other relatives or friends to visit. She wouldn't be going to the main branch of the Su family.
However, Su Ming's family and Su Wei came to the Su family home on the first day of the Lunar New Year to wish Grandma and Grandpa Su a Happy New Year.
Su Ming and Li Qin were quite surprised to see Su Xiaoxiao at home, and felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, there was a child, Su Ming's son, Su Mo.
"MoMo, call her Auntie." Li Qin taught the child to greet people.
"Auntie, Happy New Year." Su Mo was quite well-behaved. Although he was a bit active, he wasn't naughty. Li Qin was quite good at teaching children.
Su Xiao took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Good boy, here's a red envelope. Study hard and make progress every day."
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, you're too kind. Momo, quickly thank your aunt." Li Qin took the red envelope from Momo's hand and stuffed it into her own pocket.
Mo Mo seemed to have gotten used to it. She took the red envelopes without a care and focused on eating the peanuts and melon seeds on the table.
Seeing Li Qin's behavior, Su Xiao didn't say much and pretended not to see it.
Thinking back to her own childhood, it seems that her red envelopes were also kept by adults, and then they would disappear after a while.
They all use the same old tricks.
