Su Ying and Sun Xuelin chatted for a while about what they had seen and heard over the past three years. Gu Sinian got annoyed and pulled Sun Xuelin away, leaving Su Ying looking completely bewildered.
This man is still so jealous.
She's practically a vinegar jar.
Even though they've been married for so long, they're still so jealous.
They had only discussed business matters, yet this man was being so unreasonable and dragged her away.
She still hadn't mentioned the fish.
The man told her to calm down and that he would handle the matter.
She just wanted some peace and quiet.
When the man returned, dinner was already being served in the living room, and Su Ying quickly went up to greet him and ask what was wrong.
"How's it going? How's the fish chunks coming along?"
"He agreed. Given that Willow Village has a much larger population and needs to create more jobs, and knowing about the fish business, he agreed without hesitation."
Su Ying frowned. "It would be more convincing to tell the captain about this."
“He went back and said that the words of this father and son are certainly more practical than those of us outsiders.”
Su Ying sighed. If only it were during the reform and opening up period, she could make a fortune by selling dried yellow peaches and fish chunks.
Such thinking is futile now. Doing business is not supported now; if you are caught, you are accused of speculation.
With the arrival of the reform and opening up, the dried yellow peaches of Liushu Village had already gained fame, and by then, doing these businesses was no longer profitable.
After all, nobody's stupid; everyone will come to the primary source of goods to get their products. She, as a middleman, isn't very reliable.
Since the reform and opening up, Liushu Village has made a name for itself, and now it's more suitable to make a little money.
“Okay then. We have space, it’s vacation time now, we have plenty of time to travel around and earn more money to support our children.”
Gu Sinian smiled helplessly, "I'm not so bad as to be unable to support you and the children. You underestimate me."
"I'm not underestimating anyone. It's just about making more money to get through these next few years. After all, the things in the space aren't that valuable."
"Whatever you say. My older sister wants us to go over for dinner, let's eat first."
"good."
Sun Xuelin was no longer at the dinner table; he stubbornly refused to stay for the meal.
Su Ying and Gu Sinian were both stunned when they saw so many delicious dishes.
"Isn't this too many days?"
Bai Shouwang said, "Not much, not much. You two are great benefactors to our Bai family. If you hadn't arranged everything for us before you left, we would still be wasting our lives in Phoenix Village. We wouldn't have the good life we have now."
"Everyone in my family has a good job. They take care of the saplings, research new varieties, and get dividends at the end of the year. Life couldn't be better."
“Our Bai family’s life is no worse than it was in Beijing. Girl, you have no idea how bad our life was in Phoenix Village. When the children had fevers, no one cared and we were left to fend for ourselves.”
"The villagers of Liushu Village are very kind and never give us a hard time. They are really good."
Su Ying smiled and said, "I recommended Willow Village because I knew it was a good place for you. After we left, Willow Village had a few extra spots, which is perfect for you."
Bai Shouwang looked at him gratefully, poured himself a glass of wine, and toasted the couple.
"My gratitude is in this wine. Thank you so much for helping us out of our time of need. We will remember this for the rest of our lives."
"Even if I can't go back to Beijing in the future, it would be nice to live in Liushu Village for the rest of my life."
"I'm glad you're all doing well."
Everyone at the table raised their glasses and drank a toast. Su Ying sat down and said, "That's enough about expressing our gratitude. Let's eat properly; the two children are starving."
Gu Siqing turned to Bai Yuchuan and instructed, "Take good care of your younger brother and sister, okay?"
Bai Yuchuan nodded. He had always liked his uncle and aunt very much, and by extension, he also liked their children. He took meticulous care of Gu Lichen and Xiaobao.
He would pick out whatever the two children wanted to eat, and if they couldn't reach the food, he would patiently walk a short distance away, pick it up, and then come back.
He would carefully remove the bones from the dishes and then serve them to his younger siblings.
The two children were not familiar with this older brother at first, but because he had been taking care of them, they quickly became acquainted with Bai Yuchuan.
After finishing her meal, she dragged her brother out to play.
Su Ying looked helpless. "These two mischievous monkeys are never still for a moment."
"Kids are all like this. You should cherish these moments. My Yu Chuan has never been this lively. She was so cute when she was little, but now she's so silent I want to punch her."
Su Ying disagreed, "I still prefer someone quieter. With the two kids together, they almost tore the house down."
"After you become quiet, you'll be just like me."
Laughter erupted in the living room.
The next morning, after Su Ying and Gu Sinian finished breakfast, the two left the Bai family home one after the other and wandered around.
Most of the villagers knew the couple, except for a few who had married into the village from elsewhere.
"Comrade Su and Comrade Gu, you've finally decided to come back and see us."
"Yes. The brigade leader invited us so warmly that my wife and I felt bad refusing, so we came back to visit."
"I just didn't expect that the days since we last saw Liushu Village would have changed so much. When we entered Liushu Village yesterday, we thought we had taken the wrong road. We really couldn't recognize it."
The aunt chuckled, "This is all thanks to the contributions you two made. You gave us the recipe for dried yellow peaches without hesitation, for free, and you also came up with so many ideas for our Willow Tree Village, making our Willow Tree Village a well-known wealthy village far and wide."
“My husband passed away early. There are my mother-in-law and son at home. My mother-in-law has been sick for many years, which costs a lot of money. Life at home is getting harder every day.”
"My son is of marriageable age, but no matchmakers come to our door. We're too poor to find a wife."
"I never expected this... Since you came to Willow Tree Village, our village has undergone earth-shaking changes. You are truly our village's lucky star."
“I can’t believe how good life is for my family now. Gangzi has been built, my daughter-in-law has come up, and we even have a grandson. I never dared to dream of such a good life.”
Su Ying listened quietly, becoming more and more engrossed. She realized that helping others was such a joyful thing.
The older woman stepped forward and grabbed Su Ying, thanking her profusely. "Thank you so much, Su Qingqing. You have no idea how wonderful my son could marry such a wonderful girl."
Su Ying gave an awkward smile. She felt embarrassed whenever she heard "thank you" too many times and didn't know how to respond.
Gu Sinian pulled the woman aside; he was startled by the woman's overly enthusiastic manner.
"Auntie, we have to go now."
The woman was taken aback; she hadn't finished speaking yet.
“You…you don’t have to work, let’s chat a bit more.”
Gu Sinian grabbed his wife and ran away; his wife being too popular was also a troublesome thing.
