Chapter 89: A high ponytail is a man's best dowry
Jiang Yu looked at Su Yi's slightly disgusted expression, raised his eyebrows, and said disapprovingly:
"I told you, I only have a basic understanding!"
It doesn’t matter if you are compared to others. It’s not difficult to admit that others are better than you. Everyone has their own strengths.
Su Wan couldn't let go of his fifth brother's painting, just like getting a photo in modern times, and he was very satisfied with it.
Jiang Yu felt a little sad as he looked at his portrait painting that no one cared about and put it away silently.
Seeing this, Su Wan moved the paintings in front of him.
"Don't throw it away! I'm keeping this as well. It's all a painting of me. This is the first time I've been painted by someone, so it's very worth collecting!"
Su Wan blew the paint on the two paintings dry completely before stacking them neatly.
At that moment, Jiang Yuyou was comforted. Although she liked the picture of herself drawn by her fifth brother more, it was good enough that she was willing to do it reluctantly and that he accepted it.
"Come on, Fifth Brother, I believe in you!"
Su Wan gave Su Yi a very bright smile, which instantly calmed Su Yi's still somewhat restless heart.
"Not bad, Brother Wu. I didn't expect you to be so capable!" This was the first time that Su Yun looked at his twin brother with such admiration.
…
In order to welcome Su's father and mother home, the brothers and sisters made preparations early. They got up early in the morning to boil water, kill chickens, and cut up fish. Su Yun also wanted to make some braised pork for his parents to taste.
His braised pork received praise from everyone, and I believe Su's father would like it too.
The couple came back the next afternoon. Su Chen was specially sent by Su Wan to pick them up halfway. His parents had worked in the mine for several years, and they were a little tired after carrying large and small bags back for a long time.
Su Chen took the warm water and shaqima prepared by Su Wan and fed the two of them to quench their thirst.
Seeing her son waiting for her, Su's mother felt warm in her heart. Perhaps this is the benefit of having many children.
"Achen, why are you here?"
"Mom, Wanwan asked me to pick you up. She and the fourth and fifth brothers have prepared meals for you at home. This is the water and food Wanwan prepared!" Su Chen never takes credit for himself. He also wants his parents to know more about Wanwan.
Let them know that their own daughter is also a filial person.
"Wanwan is so thoughtful. It's true that my daughter is so considerate!" Mother Su was very pleased. To be honest, Yueyue was not as considerate as Wanwan.
"Yes, Wanwan knew you were coming home, so she bought chickens, fish and meat. She wanted to wait for you to come back and have a good meal. She even cut some cloth into cotton for mom and dad so they could make new winter clothes for the New Year!"
Su Chen wanted to say all the good things about Su Wan.
When Su's father and mother heard what happened to their daughter, they didn't know what to feel in their hearts. Now they think that they owed her after all. After returning home, they should try their best to make up for the lack of family affection between them.
Su's mother's eyes were filled with tears. Thinking back to the past, all the truth came so suddenly that she didn't know how to face it. Facing the return of her biological daughter, she was afraid that she would look down on the family's conditions and was afraid of being blamed, so she was eager to escape.
"Mom, don't cry, I'll tell you about the latest news at home!"
Along the way, Su Chen told his parents about the recent events at home, including the fact that Su Yun made nearly a hundred taels of silver from selling shaqima.
There was also the fact that Jiang Yu was still staying at home. Before going to the mine, he had briefly told them about Su Wan and Su Mu saving people, so as to remind them to be polite to them when they returned home. After all, they had spent money to continue living in the Su family, and they always helped them with things on weekdays. Now they were good friends, so they should be treated with courtesy.
Both Su's father and mother are hospitable and polite people, and they understand this principle.
When they returned to the village, smoke was rising from their yard, and Su Wan was standing at the end of the path, waving at them from afar.
She now has parents and brothers, and she will never be alone again.
"Dad, Mom, welcome home!"
After getting closer, Su Wan called them sweetly.
Su's father and mother quickly agreed. Su's father walked forward and looked his daughter up and down. She was indeed his daughter, she was born beautiful, and it made him very proud as a father.
"Good boy, you've been working hard at home and you look thinner!"
In fact, Su Wan didn't lose weight, but in the eyes of the elders, he seemed to have lost weight after not seeing him for a long time.
"I'm not tired. My brothers are doing everything. I'm just doing odd jobs."
She offered some advice. Now that Su Yun was in charge and there were enough people, she didn't have to make shaqima or cook anymore. She just had to move her mouth.
Su's mother stepped forward and took Su Wan's hand, holding it in her palm. With the other hand, she stroked the hair on her forehead that was messed up by the wind, and looked at her with a loving face. She was wearing a newly made floral dress with lavender flowers, which was very playful. She tied a simple pigtail, but it couldn't hide her temperament. People who are good-looking will look good even in a sack.
"It's cold outside, go home and talk, kid!"
Faced with the intimacy between Su's mother and father, Su Wan was still a little unresponsive. She looked at her third brother, who only nodded and smiled at her, meaning to reassure her.
She had never been treated like this by her elders before, and she felt like crying. Since she was old enough to understand, she had only faced all kinds of inexplicable scolding from her aunt and her uncle's indifference.
If she doesn't learn to be optimistic, she might just trap herself in a cage, become paranoid and depressed.
Su's mother took her home, and Su Yun and Su Yi ran out when they heard the sound.
Su Yun was still wearing an apron and holding a spatula with a wooden handle.
"Mom and Dad are back, so we can have dinner soon. It's Chinese New Year today, so we'll have chicken, fish, and meat!"
After saying hello, thinking about the braised pork in the pot, he hurried back to the kitchen.
Su Yi also called his parents obediently and took the initiative to take their bags.
Jiang Yu was wearing a lavender robe with round patterns today, and her high ponytail was also combed very neatly.
He really loves purple, a color that represents elegance and nobility.
It is said that if you want to be pretty, a high ponytail is the best dowry for a man.
He came over and performed a very proper etiquette to Su's father and mother:
"I want to ask Uncle Su and Aunt Su how they are doing. I'm honored to meet you!"
Su's mother had never seen such a scene before. They were common people and rarely had the chance to deal with such people.
The third son said that Jiang Yu was the son of a wealthy family, so it was normal for him to be well-mannered.
However, they were truly amazed by Jiang Yu's appearance and demeanor, which was also extraordinary.
"Don't be so reserved, Mr. Jiang, just be casual!"
Jiang Yu was not reserved, but Su's father and mother were very reserved, especially in their own home.
"Uncle and aunt are too formal. Just call me Jiang Yu. I am good friends with the brothers of the Su family, and also with Wanwan. I will have to bother you for a while. Uncle and aunt should be at your leisure. There is no need to be so bound by formalities!"
