After Su Yan dealt with Lu Ting's troubles, she went home to clean up, took the children and walked to catch the bus back to Shanghe Village.
Lu Ting knew that his wife had left with the children, and he didn't have time to see them off. If the trouble caused by that woman was not handled properly, it would surely be known to everyone in the courtyard. The most urgent thing was to deal with this trouble first.
The car swayed all the way and it was already eleven o'clock when we returned to Shanghe Village. Looking at the classical Suzhou garden-style courtyard with green bricks and green tiles not far away, Su Yan smiled.
This is the Su family's villa in Shanghe Village. This house will never be out of date even after a hundred years.
"Mom, is that our house?"
"Well, my mom paid for grandpa to build it, and it's all decorated. I had a housewarming party last time while you were in school."
Lu Yian exclaimed, "Mom, does Grandpa live alone in such a big yard?"
"It's a two-story main courtyard. Your grandparents live on the first floor, and we live on the second. The five rooms in the east courtyard are for your eldest uncle's family, and the five rooms in the west courtyard are for your second uncle. There's a garden in the front and back. Your grandfather planted some flowers and plants in the front yard, and a few fruit trees in the back yard."
"I thought Grandpa would grow vegetables in the backyard?"
"I, your mother, have rented so much land. Wouldn't it be easy to use a few acres to grow vegetables?"
Lu Yian thought so too. If vegetables were grown in the backyard, grandma would probably raise a few chickens in the backyard.
Lu Yining looked at the greenhouse not far away and thought, my mother wouldn't let them work in the greenhouse, would she?
It's so hot in the summer, working in the greenhouse is no different from baking in the sun. It was all because of my sister's disobedience that they were punished together.
With such a strong sun, he would probably be tanned into charcoal if he stayed in Shanghe Village for two or three days. Oh my God, who will save us?
Lu Yirou looked at the neatly arranged greenhouses and asked, "Mom, you rented out all the land in Shanghe Village. Does that mean they're out of land?"
"There are only about 100 mu of land in Shanghe Village, and I rented less than one-third of it. I paid them for the land, and also paid them to help with the farming.
They help me work and I pay them wages, which is several times better than growing crops myself."
Lu Yian smiled and said, "It's a win-win cooperation. Mom is helping them create the greatest value."
Lu Yian really admired his mother. She had worked so hard to raise them, even sending his eldest brother to study abroad. She bought a courtyard house and a shop, set up a stall to sell braised dishes, built a fleet of cars, rented land for Chinese medicinal herbs, fruits, and flowers, and wholesaled watches to his second uncle to sell...
He didn't know if his mother had quarreled with his father over his sister's matter. He felt that his parents were in a cold war and he had to think of a way to make them reconcile as soon as possible.
He didn't want to be like his cousin Lu Yilan, who never went home, pestered her grandparents for pocket money all day, couldn't read, and complained about the unfairness of the world.
Only my younger sister, that little fool, would believe her lies about being good sisters and good friends. She was obviously jealous that her younger sister had the love of her parents, lived a wealthy life, and went to the Youth Palace every week to learn dancing and playing the piano.
He vowed to keep an eye on his sister and not let her come into contact with young people in society.
Su Yan turned around and saw that her second son was looking at his younger sister with a strange look in his eyes. What was he thinking about in his little head?
They're triplets, the third is 5'77" tall, the second is only 5'74", only 8cm taller than Rourou. Could he be the shortest of the three? He needs to be given some extra weight.
"Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Look at you, you're only 120 pounds, aren't you? You're growing, so I want to make you some more bone soup."
"Mom, are you disgusted by my short stature? Don't worry, my dad is the shortest gay man in our family. I will definitely grow to be over 1.85 meters tall."
Lu Yining patted Lu Yian's shoulder gently, "If Second Brother is over 1.85 meters tall, I will definitely be over 1.9 meters tall.
We have the same face, so why are you shorter than me? Could it be that you were originally my younger brother, and the doctor made a mistake and said you were my older brother?
"Lu Yining, why aren't you going to heaven? If you want to be my brother, come back in your next life. Why am I shorter than you? Don't you know what's going on? Every time I eat something delicious, I give it to you and your sister."
"Okay, stop arguing. Ask your grandpa to catch two soft-shelled turtles for lunch today. One for stewing soup and one for braising. They'll both be nourishing."
"Mom, didn't you say you only catch turtles during the Chinese New Year?"
"Catch a few for yourself first."
The uncles and aunties working in the fields greeted Su Yan when they saw her, "Hey, Miss Yan is back."
"Hello, Aunt Huang, hello, Uncle Daniu, An An, Ning Ning, and Rou Rou are calling for help."
"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!"
"Okay, okay, your dad is helping pick strawberries and watermelons in the greenhouse. Do you want to take the kids over there, Yan?"
"Let's go home and cook first, and then go help pick the melons in the afternoon."
She and the children all had luggage with them, so she had to take the luggage back first. Then she would see what vegetables were available at home, use a net bag to catch two turtles from the turtle pond, have lunch, change clothes, and then take them to the fields in the afternoon to weed and pick strawberries, watermelons, and cantaloupes.
When Su Qingshan learned that his daughter and grandson had returned, he quickly walked home carrying a small basket of strawberries.
"Yan Yan, Yan Yan, you are back."
As soon as Su Yan put down her luggage, she saw her father hurriedly walking in with a small basket of strawberries.
"Dad, did you go strawberry picking?"
"Well, I'll keep an eye on them to prevent them from taking the strawberries home."
Su Yan knew that no matter what era, there would always be a group of women who liked to take advantage of others. When the men picked strawberries, they would only eat a few at most, and those old women would find ways to hide them in their pockets and take them back. Some would simply take the strawberries and take them away together with the baskets.
