Chapter 130: Uncles’ Favor
The lunch was prepared in a hurry, but it was not perfunctory at all.
My father and father-in-law slaughtered a chicken, the fish caught from the river were very fresh, and even the vegetables were very delicious.
Su Wan ate two large bowls of rice before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm stuffed."
Su Wan put down her bowl and chopsticks. Li Cuihua saw her tired look and quickly said, "Wan Wan, go back to your room and rest. The room at home has been tidied up. You can sleep anywhere you want."
"I'm really a little sleepy now. I'm going to sleep for a while."
Back in the room, Su Wan lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The temperature in Su Province was still a little cold, and she slept soundly under the new quilt her mother had made for her.
Outside, Su Jianguo was pulled around by Zheng Aifang and asked all sorts of questions. He had no time to rest and looked at his biological mother pitifully. Is he still her biological son?
Knowing that her sons had made a lot of money last year, Zheng Aifang didn't think about taking their money. Instead, she asked them to save it and take care of their health.
After Su Jianguo left and went back to his room to rest, Zheng Aifang sighed, "I never thought I'd have the blessing of a daughter in this life. She's changed so much since getting married. Even now, seeing her so tired every time she comes home, it really hurts."
"If you don't suffer when you're young, will you suffer when you're old?"
Su Daming disagreed with his wife. "I think they're fine the way they are now. As parents, we help as much as we can, but the rest is up to them. I think Wanwan is fine the way she is now. This is much better than before when she didn't even know how to help her when she fell."
Zheng Aifang was embarrassed.
The daughter used to not know how to feel sorry for her parents at all. Even though they doted on her so much, she acted as if it was her due.
Although parents do not expect their children to repay them, they should still show them the minimum respect.
"How much does this little house cost?"
Zheng Aifang muttered as she looked at the small villa drawn on the blueprint.
"If the kids like it, we'll build it according to their wishes. We've saved a bit over the years, and if it's not enough, we'll just contribute some ourselves. Besides, one of my sons brought home 2,000 yuan at the end of last year, so we have over 10,000 yuan at home now, so there's nothing to worry about."
Su Daming had also seen the world, and he knew that the cost of building a small villa would definitely be high, so he didn't think about not paying for it.
Zheng Aifang nodded and said, "It's better to build it sooner rather than later, so we don't have to worry about it all the time."
After discussing it, the two of them agreed that the house should be built sooner so that they could hold the wedding banquet by the end of the year.
"This house and yard is about 1,000 square meters. Our old house is next to it. I'll talk to my family and see if we can give them some extra money to sell us the land."
"Okay, I'll take care of this. Don't worry, I'm sure I can handle it."
Su Daming said this and left.
When Su Wan woke up, it was already past seven in the evening.
She stretched herself and felt that it was a rare opportunity for her to have such a good sleep.
Just as I was about to go out, it started to drizzle outside.
As soon as I reached the living room, I saw my family sitting inside and I immediately became more awake.
Seeing Su Wan, Uncle Su said cheerfully, "Wan Wan is up?"
"Uncle." Su Wan called out, then looked at the others, "Second uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, why are you all here?"
"Your father said your family was planning to build a house, and he wanted us to sell him the land where our old house was built. We came here to sign the contract."
As Second Uncle Su explained, First Uncle Su immediately explained, "There's no need to buy it. We're all family, and talking about money hurts our feelings. This old house is no longer habitable. If your family wants to build a house, just take it."
"That won't work. We should pay what we deserve."
Su Wan didn't want to take advantage, so she said immediately.
Several people looked at Su Wan happily and said, "What's wrong with that? We are your uncles. Although we can't help much with your family's house construction, it's unnecessary to spend money."
"That's right. We're going to build houses too, and when we do, we'll occupy your vegetable plots. Doesn't this cancel out the difference?"
"Wanwan, I heard you have other blueprints. Show them to uncle. I want to build one too."
Su Wan responded and went to the room to get the other drawings.
Several elders sat together looking at the drawings drawn by Su Wan and couldn't help but praise him.
"Wanwan is getting better and better now. She can even draw construction blueprints."
Su Wan felt very embarrassed when she heard the praise from her elders.
She quickly gathered her thoughts and said to them, "Uncle, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, you can take a look at these small houses. If you want to build one, just show the construction drawings to the workers."
There are three more small villas above, but they all like them very much, so they simply plan to take them home to study.
After putting the blueprints away, Uncle Su said to Su Wan with gratitude, "Wan Wan, I really appreciate you taking your cousins out to make money. If it weren't for you helping them out, they wouldn't be able to make so much money now, let alone earn enough to build a new house in such a short time."
"Uncle, what are you talking about? We are a family. If you are so polite, I will be angry."
"You're right. Family members don't need to be so polite. That's why the land of the old house is close to yours. We brothers have discussed it and are willing to give it to your family. Don't mention money in the future. If you do, your uncles will get angry with you."
Su Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, uncle..."
Several people asked Su Wanpeng about the city's special zone and left after they finished asking.
When Zheng Aifang came in with the chicken soup, Su Wan was the only one left in the living room.
She asked suspiciously, "Where are your uncles?"
"They all went home to sleep." Su Wan answered honestly.
"You little girl, don't you know how to stop your uncles and let them have a simple meal at home."
Zheng Aifang put the chicken soup on the table. Afraid that Su Wan would be hungry, she couldn't bear to blame her, so she served her a big bowl of chicken soup. Two big chicken legs were in her bowl, stuffed full.
"Have some chicken soup first. Mom will stir-fry some dishes and we'll be ready to eat soon."
After saying that, he quickly left the living room.
The lights in the 1980s were a bit dim. The last time Su Jianguo came back, he brought a lot of incandescent lamps, which made the room very bright. Su Wan could even see the piles of angelica and American ginseng in the chicken soup, as if they were afraid that she was malnourished.
Drinking the soup, Su Wan felt very happy.
As Su Wan was sipping her soup, she heard Su Jianguo come in and ask her, "Wan Wan, are we going to the provincial capital tomorrow?"
