Chapter 167 Su Wanru comes to the capital
After seeing Xiao Dingkun off, Fubao felt a little lost and reluctant.
She had just walked for a while holding his hand, and every eye contact was so hot, but after just a moment of separation, she felt reluctant to let go.
Perhaps because he had met his own parents, this relationship became more legitimate, and Fubao's emotions, which he had been suppressing deliberately, burst out like a flood.
She liked Xiao Dingkun, was addicted to the smell of him, liked the low voice that made her ears tremble, was intoxicated by the way he looked at her, and even longed for the taste of his kiss on her. She wanted to be close to him, snuggle up to him, and feel his warmth. Even if she turned into ashes like a moth, she would be happy to do so.
She was so overwhelmed by this intense desire that she could only look up at the sky, take a deep breath, and calm herself down again and again.
She is still very young, life has to go on, and she is busy with studies. She can't always be obsessed with getting along with Xiao Dingkun. She has a lot of things to do and many people to face.
After finally calming herself down, she returned home and saw the whole family happily unpacking the gifts Xiao Dingkun had brought. There were packages of all sizes, including knee pads and gloves for Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, a thermos cup for Grandpa Yu, and a Double Happiness lacquered boxwood comb for Ning Huiyue and Liu Guizhi. The other men in the family also received a gift each. The value was not high, but they were all just right.
In addition, I also brought some supplements commonly used by the elderly.
This time, not only Old Man Yu, but even Ning Huiyue couldn't help but laugh: "Dingkun is really thoughtful, considerate, and capable."
It's not like Ning Huiyue would be attracted by such a comb. Her husband's position has been rising rapidly in recent years, and she has enjoyed all kinds of good treatment and has seen all kinds of good things. What she liked was Xiao Dingkun's thoughtfulness. He bought gifts for everyone, which showed that he cared about Fubao and would treat Fubao well in the future.
As for Miao Xiujiu and Liu Guizhi, they were naturally satisfied, thinking that Dingkun was indeed a good kid. Look, he just came here and he got a lot of praise from people. They wouldn't have to worry about entrusting Fubao to him in the future!
Fubao felt more relieved when he saw everyone like this.
To be honest, when she heard others praising Xiao Dingkun, her heart leaped with joy, even happier than when she was praised herself.
——
The next day, as planned, the Gu family was going to go to Huo Jinyun's place, but who knew that it was just a coincidence that just when they were getting ready to go out, Huo Jinyun showed up.
The two sides happened to meet each other.
What no one expected was that Su Wanru was accompanying Huo Jinyun.
When Fubao first saw Su Wanru, she couldn't believe it. Su Wanru rushed over and hugged her shoulders: "Fubao, I miss you so much!"
Fubao finally realized what was happening and shouted out joyfully, "Sister Wanru, Sister Wanru, you're in the capital too!"
In the middle of winter, Su Wanru, dressed in a winter coat, smiled until her cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling. "Yes, I'm here too. Our school has an early final exam, and I rushed over before the results came out. It's perfect. Since you're still in the capital, I can go visit Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu."
Huo Jinyun greeted the Gu family first, then said with a smile, "Fubao, you're just like your sister. I've been saying I miss you. That's why I just came to the capital yesterday, and today I'm eagerly looking for you. We happened to run into Dingkun yesterday, and we knew you weren't at Imperial University, so we asked for your address and came here."
Su Wanru let go of Fubao with a smile and went to greet the Gu family.
Miao Xiuju smiled so hard that her teeth showed. "What a coincidence! Look, we were carrying our things and were just planning to visit Teacher Huo, but who knew Teacher Huo came to see us first? How rude!"
Huo Jinyun hurriedly said, "Aunt Gu, judging by what you said, we should be the ones to come and see you."
Miao Xiuju took Su Wanru's hand again and praised her, "You are different from before. You are getting younger and younger."
Su Wanru couldn't stop laughing when she heard this: "Oh, my Aunt Gu, I really love to hear you say that!"
Fubao is no longer at his best age, so of course he likes to hear such words and wishes he could hear them every day.
However, Miao Xiuju was very serious: "Maybe the food in college nourishes me. I look young and full of vitality."
When she said this, everyone laughed. How come living people are so full of life?
However, Su Wanru, who was smiling, seemed to have some feelings. Since she went to college, her state of mind was indeed different from before when she was in the countryside. She felt that she was alive again, that she could recover her lost youth, and that she could work hard and strive to change her life like young people.
I feel that my life is in my own hands.
This may be what the elderly mean by vitality.
After a round of greetings, everyone went back to the Yu family. As soon as they entered the door, Fubao quickly introduced them. This is Principal Huo of my elementary school, and this is my elementary school teacher Wanru. Ning Huiyue had already known about this teacher Huo and Wanru from Miao Xiujiu's story, not to mention that she had met Huo Jinyun before - although it was not very pleasant.
Now, without mentioning all the past unpleasantness, Ning Huiyue happily welcomed them in.
Entering the yard, Grandpa Yu was sitting lonely on a recliner in the corner, looking at the Euphorbia milii there. The Euphorbia milii was in full bloom, but Grandpa Yu felt deserted in his heart. It was originally so lively and crowded, but the Gu family was leaving tomorrow and Jing Yue was going back to school, so the house was going to be deserted again.
When you get older, you crave lively places, crowds, and the sound of people.
I was feeling lonely when I suddenly heard voices. I thought I was hallucinating, but when I turned around, I saw that the Gu family was back, and there were two younger ones!
Mr. Yu was immediately amused: "What's going on? Are you back again?"
Miao Xiuju laughed and said, "We said we were going to see Teacher Huo, but Teacher Huo came to see us first. We were a step late and were blocked at home!"
Mr. Yu: "Oh, Teacher Huo is here, so let's have lunch here today!"
The old man suddenly perked up.
——
Su Wanru excitedly told everyone about herself, her school days, and her trip to the capital. When Fubao asked about her plans for the New Year, Su Wanru was unusually embarrassed: "I do have plans..."
Fu Bao, who already had a girlfriend, immediately realized it and looked at Huo Jinyun.
Huo Jinyun smiled gently: "Wanru and I are planning to get married during the Chinese New Year, and we're preparing now."
As soon as these words were spoken, Miao Xiujiu and others naturally congratulated him one after another, and Gu Weidong also hurried to congratulate Huo Jinyun. The two of them were considered great benefactors of the Pingxi Production Brigade. They had taught and educated countless people, and had been single until now. Now they had finally achieved their goal.
Miao Xiuju even chanted "Amitabha": "These past few years have not been easy, and it hasn't been easy for everyone!"
Su Wanru smiled and said, "Actually, I really miss our Pingxi Production Brigade and Dagunzi Mountain. I'm thinking of taking some time to go there after the New Year."
When she said this, Miao Xiuju's eyes lit up, and she looked at Ning Huiyue: "Why don't we go together when the time comes, and have fun together? That would be great!"
Ning Huiyue naturally agreed, but Old Man Yu got excited. He thought for a moment and said, "I have to go see the Big Roller Mountain that Fubao mentioned."
Su Wanru laughed at Old Man Yu's childish words despite his age, "That's great, Grandpa Yu, let's go together then."
As they were talking, someone suggested, "Why not just go back during the Chinese New Year?"
Huo Jinyun smiled and said, "We're having our wedding during the Chinese New Year—"
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly thought of something.
Why couldn't he hold a simple wedding in the capital first, and then go to Dagunzi Mountain to hold a formal wedding, and according to the customs of Dagunzi Mountain, let Su Wanru get on the bridal sedan, pay homage in the hall, and then distribute wedding candies to the villagers?
So he proposed this idea, and everyone thought, isn't it? Miao Xiuju laughed heartily and said, "That's fine. Leave your wedding to me when the time comes. I'll help you arrange it! You can just sit back and be the bride and groom. It's just in time for the Chinese New Year, so everyone has time to celebrate. It's going to be lively and exciting. We can even hire suona players and sedan chair bearers. It's guaranteed to be a great occasion!"
Listening to Miao Xiujiu's words, Su Wanru recalled that year. She was still young and Fubao was still a child. Widow Wang from the village and Li Jinlai got married and held a wedding. They took the bride to the hall to kowtow and make a scene. Obviously, there was a shortage of food and clothing in those days, and obviously everyone was barely given a piece of pear candy. But she still remembered the smile on the face of the bride, Widow Wang, which was as happy as it could be.
Is she going to have a wedding like this too?
Su Wanru smiled, her cheeks flushed slightly. "Then we would like to thank Aunt Gu in advance!"
In just a few words, there was a wedding taking place during the Chinese New Year in the distant Pingxi Village of Dagunzi Mountain. Miao Xiujiu became excited. She liked to take care of these things and even more so to watch the newlyweds get married in a lively manner. She immediately began to discuss with Su Wanru the specific time and what they planned to do.
While they were discussing this, Ning Huiyue also discussed it with Old Man Yu. After discussing it for a long time, they finally decided: "During the Chinese New Year, we will go there to attend Teacher Huo's wedding and visit Big Rolling Mountain!"
That’s settled.
