That afternoon they shot a deer and two chickens.
Return with a full load.
In the evening, the Dickey family invited their neighbors, friends, and fruit farmers to have an open-air BBQ to enjoy today's harvest.
The wild barbecue, a whole barrel of beer, and everyone's singing and laughter all turned into rare treasures in the end.
Su Lvyang was a master at grilling meat, and his skills were praised by everyone. Xiang Ling leaned against him, feeling proud of himself. Even at the end, amid the crowd's cheering, Xiang Ling, blushing, took the initiative to kiss Su Lvyang.
Su Luyang once again sighed that Xiang Ling was so frank and adorable after getting drunk.
In China, three days before New Year’s Eve is Xiang Qi’s birthday.
Su Luyang was a little unhappy because Xiang Ling only told him the day before his birthday, which made him almost unable to buy a birthday present for Xiang Qi.
Xiang Ling apologized bitterly. He had already prepared the gift for Xiang Qi and really forgot to tell her.
On the birthday, Cheng Qing and Xiang Yaya went to the kitchen early in the morning to bake birthday cakes. Su Luyang didn't expect that they made them by themselves, so he huddled beside them to learn from them.
Xiang Yaya is an excellent cook and is also good at making desserts. Seeing that Su Luyang was interested, she taught him how to bake cakes, apply cream and decorate cakes. She also taught him how to make cranberry cookies, orange pie, matcha mille-feuille and cupcakes, and squeezed fruit juice and milkshakes of various flavors.
Xiang Qi invited neighbors and friends to her birthday party, all of whom had children. Xiang Yaya planned to set up a dessert table, and it was then that Su Luyang realized how awesome Xiang Yaya was.
Su Luyang learned quickly and helped a lot by assisting the staff.
When the work was almost done, he carefully decorated a cupcake with cream flowers and put Xiang Ling's favorite raisins on it.
Su Luyang took the cupcake to find Xiang Ling. Xiang Ling was receiving guests on the lawn outside. When Su Luyang walked out, he heard the laughter of a group of children.
Xiang Ling was playing Eagle Catches Chicken with them.
Su Luyang couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had seen people playing this game. Xiang Ling had become the king of the children, a well-deserved mother hen, protecting a group of little friends behind her, and not a single one was caught by Dicky, who was pretending to be an eagle.
Xiang Ling is very strong, but in terms of physique, Dicky is taller and stronger than Xiang Ling. However, Xiang Ling is very flexible and has an active mind. He can always escape with the chicks from places that Dicky can't expect.
They were having a great time, and Su Luyang didn't bother them. He stood silently by the table, holding a small cake specially made for Xiang Ling.
"He is very childish sometimes, right?" At some point, Xiang Zheyan suddenly walked to Su Luyang, stood side by side with him, and looked at Xiang Ling together.
Su Luyang felt like he could praise Xiang Ling for three days and three nights without repeating himself, but in front of Xiang Ling's father, he felt a little hesitant to "be rash," so Su Luyang could only say, "He's very cute."
Xiang Zheyan turned his head to look at Su Luyang: "You may not know, he has a nickname at home, Xiang Xiaotian, which means Mr. Sweetheart in our family."
Su Luyang opened his eyes slightly: "Xiaotian..."
Oh my god! How could he not have thought of such a title? It was so suitable for Xiang Ling!
Xiang Zheyan said, "But every time Xiang Ling hears us call him that, he gets mad. I mean, mad, that's the word you young people use."
Su Luyang suddenly thought that Father Xiang was also very cute, and replied with a smile: "Yeah, but he is even cuter when his fur is blown up."
Xiang Zheyan looked at Su Luyang's expression. He was over fifty years old and had met countless people. He could see that the child in front of him was a good seedling, and a good seedling that was not easy to come by. It was not easy for him to grow up to this point in such a difficult environment.
"When he was little, your aunt and I didn't restrict him too much. We let him do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't break the law or lose his sense of justice and morality. We basically let him grow up on his own," Xiang Zheyan said. "The fact that he has grown up to be who he is now is completely beyond my expectations."
Su Luyang looked at Xiang Ling running on the lawn, and a sense of envy suddenly welled up in his heart. It was great to have such a family.
"Xiao Ling told us before you came that he wanted to give you the best parents in the world," Xiang Zheyan said. "He said your aunt and I are the best parents in the world, so he hopes we will treat you not as a daughter-in-law, but as a son."
Su Luyang: “…”
Su Luyang suddenly felt as if he couldn't breathe, his heart was filled with inexplicable sadness, and his face was hot.
"He likes you very much. This is the first time I've seen him like someone so much." Xiang Zheyan's tone was filled with a smile. "To be honest, I'm a little jealous, but when I think about it, your aunt's father probably thought the same of me."
Su Luyang didn't know what Xiang Zheyan wanted to say next, but now he suddenly wanted to tell Xiang Zheyan what was in his heart to prove his sincerity.
"Uncle." Su Luyang said solemnly, "I will treat him well."
"I'm not very reliable right now. I don't have the ideals that Xiao Ling is willing to stick to, nor do I have any impressive abilities. Even to this day, I don't have a decent life plan for myself."
Su Luyang discovered that when he was about to speak, he realized that some things simply could not be expressed in words.
"For the past six months since returning from the States, I've been living a mediocre life. Even the major I'm studying now is just because a friend in the States recommended it to me. It has nothing to do with my true feelings." Su Luyang looked directly at Xiang Zheyan and laid out all his shortcomings. "For the past six months, my life has been miserable."
"But at the same time, I'm living a wonderful life." Su Luyang suddenly laughed and turned to look at Xiang Ling. "He pulled me back from my half-dead state. Maybe he himself didn't realize how profound an influence he had on me."
"Xiang Ling is so important to me. He made me realize that this world is actually very beautiful. It's not just about bad people, but also about people who are full of kindness and gentleness."
"This tenderness is too strong," Su Luyang said. "It makes me want to fight to the hilt to continue living."
"Uncle." Su Luyang turned back to look at Xiang Zheyan. "I know it's a bit hard to ask you to be at ease with us being together right now, but I hope you can trust me. I will start from scratch, step by step, and build a future that belongs to both of us, Xiang Ling and I."
"I just said that I don't have a plan for my future right now, but no matter what my future plans are, Xiang Ling will be there."
"Xiao Ling told you that I suffered a lot in the past. I lost everything, and I had nothing. It's true, because for me, the moment Xiao Ling appeared, my life officially began."
Xiang Zheyan was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and patted Su Luyang on the shoulder, saying earnestly, "Good boy, don't put too much pressure on yourself. As your parents, we just want you to be happy. You and Xiaoling, we hope that you two are well, happy, and healthy."
Su Luyang: “…”
Su Luyang clenched his fists unconsciously and was confused for a moment.
"Your aunt and I never asked Xiang Ling to be a particularly successful person. No matter what, your aunt and I have worked hard for most of our lives, and there is absolutely no problem in supporting him and Xiaoqi until they die. Now adding you to the family, and adding Xiaoqi's partner in the future, is more than enough."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a plan or a goal. It doesn't matter. You're still young, and the future is long. It's normal not to know what to do now. One day you will find what you want to do. Even if you don't, it doesn't matter. Why do people have to live for goals? There is also a kind of beauty in the journey of finding goals."
"The most important thing in life is to be happy. Mom and Dad just want you to be happy. Don't overthink it, don't make it hard on yourself, don't worry about money, don't worry about those worldly annoyances. As long as you feel that what you are doing is right and makes you happy, that's all that matters."
Su Luyang was stunned.
Xiang Zheyan lowered his eyes to look at the cake in Su Lvyang's hand. Before Su Lvyang could recover from the previous topic, he snatched the cupcake away and said, "Take your time to think about it. I'm leaving now."
Su Luyang: “…”
Su Luyang: "No, that cake..."
Before Su Luyang could stop him, Xiang Ling suddenly stopped playing and ran over with a group of children. He chased Xiang Zheyan and shouted, "Comrade Xiang Zheyan, please put down the cake in your hand. You are surrounded. I repeat, please put down the cake in your hand. The sea of suffering is endless, turn back now, and actively cooperate with the children's investigation!"
Xiang Zheyan ran forward quickly, took a quick bite of the butter, and shouted triumphantly, "The hostage has been killed. You're too late!"
Su Luyang stood there without moving, staring at Xiang Ling in a daze.
Now that he thinks about it, a big part of the reason why Xiang Ling attracted his attention so much was because of the irresistible gentleness in him.
This gentleness does not refer to his tone, actions or eyes, but his heartfelt kindness towards the world and everyone around him.
Su Luyang also understood why Xiang Ling was so gentle, because his parents were also gentle enough.
After watching the fight for a while, Su Luyang returned to the room, picked up a new cupcake, and framed a heart-shaped flower on it.
This time Xiang Ling successfully ate Su Luyang's loving little cake: "Delicious, delicious, delicious!"
Xiang Ling is always focused when eating, with a happy expression, which makes people hungry. Su Luyang especially likes to eat with him.
"I have learned it. I will make it for you when you want to eat it in the future." Su Luyang said.
Xiang Ling bit into the cake, ate the fruit filling inside, and said happily, "Okay, you will be responsible for feeding me from now on."
After Xiang Ling finished eating the cake, Xiang Zheyan, who had fled for fear of punishment, was also caught by Cheng Qing. He was dragged back to the living room and sat on the sofa to prepare for trial.
Xiang Zheyan has diabetes. His diet is well controlled under Cheng Qing's supervision, but he likes to eat sweets secretly, which is a headache for him.
Cheng Qing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and directly took the blood glucose meter to measure Xiang Zheyan's blood sugar.
At first glance, it’s 15.3.
Cheng Qing's face was as black as coal, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
"You don't understand. I'm actually doing an experiment!" Xiang Zheyan was still quibbling. "I want to see if sweets will affect blood sugar."
Cheng Qing sneered: "I don't know whether sweets will affect your blood sugar, but I know that sweets will definitely affect your pocket money."
Xiang Zheyan: “…Ah?”
Cheng Qing smiled kindly: "Well, do you want to eat more?"
Xiang Zheyan cried: "I don't dare anymore, I can't afford to offend you!"
(Speaking)
The author has something to say:
Thanks for your support.
In fact, Mr. and Mrs. Xiang are still worried. After all, this is the person their son wants to spend his life with, so how can they not worry?
So Mr. Xiang came to Su Luyang today just to ask him for his attitude. During this period of time, Su Luyang has passed the test in terms of character, but how does he think of Xiang Ling? Mr. Xiang must hear it from Su Luyang in person.
Congratulations to Susu for getting real parents. I wish Susu a better future.
