Having tried it on, Nan Qu knew this vest was no ordinary vest. So when Su Ruoyan said she wanted to change, she agreed without hesitation.
Then, without hesitation, he stabbed at Su Ruoyan's hand.
Although the dagger did not pierce his hand, he felt as if his heart had been stabbed.
"Aren't you even a little bit hesitant?"
Seeing Su Ruoyan's aggrieved look, Nan Qu paused for a moment, then laughed without hesitation: "Are you acting like a child who didn't get candy and is throwing a tantrum?"
Su Ruoyan said, "I couldn't bear to see you get hurt. But you didn't hesitate at all."
Nan Qu said, "That's because I know you won't get hurt."
Su Ruoyan wanted to say something, but Nan Qu kissed her directly: "Husband, are you sure you want to waste your time on these things?"
...
The next morning, Nan Qu got up early and made dumplings with Lin Yaqing.
Everyone in the family except the two children got up.
Fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed in the urban area of Beijing, so you won't be scared.
Su Ruoyan and Su Ruisheng went out for a run. Of course, it's easy to guess that they were there to discuss Su Ruohe's matter.
The Su family had a history of three prominent figures: one in politics, one in the military, and one a leading scientist. It's fair to say that all three children were exceptionally talented. Su Ruisheng hoped that while he was still alive, he could use his connections to help his children.
He never expected that his most trusted son would cause him such a mess. Su Ruisheng worried that without any power or influence in the family, they might not be able to protect their family members in the future.
Su Ruoyan's other identity is a secret, even Su Ruisheng doesn't know it. It's normal for him to have this concern.
Once Su Ruohe steps down from that position, it will be very difficult for Su Ruisheng to return, given his abilities.
With this in mind, how could Su Ruisheng not worry?
However, when the two returned from exercising outside, seeing Su Ruisheng's happy expression, especially when they saw Nan Qu, they exclaimed, "Little Qu, you are a benefactor to our Su family!"
Nan Qu roughly guessed what Su Ruisheng meant and quickly said, "Dad, this is what I should do."
But Lin Yaqing, standing next to her, misunderstood. She looked at Nan Qu with a happy expression, then at Nan Qu's belly: "Xiao Qu, are you pregnant?"
Nan Qu was taken aback for a moment before realizing she had misunderstood. She quickly said, "No, no, Mom, you've misunderstood. Dad is thanking me because Ruoyan's health has improved. I've discussed it with the two children, and we don't plan to have any more children in the near future."
Lin Yaqing was initially disappointed, but then she was overjoyed to hear that Su Ruoyan had fully recovered. As if remembering Su Ruoyan's previous condition, Lin Yaqing felt a lump in her throat and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Yes, your father is right. You are a benefactor to our Su family. Not only have you found the Su family's child, but you have also saved the third son. You don't know how much your father and I have been unable to eat or sleep since we found out the third son was sick. We were afraid that one day we would receive the news that the third son was gone."
The third brother knew we were worried, and kept saying he was busy with company matters, so he hadn't been home once in five years.
As she spoke, Lin Yaqing's eyes reddened: "You have no idea how excited your father and I were when we heard that our third son had recovered. We accepted the fact that he would have some health problems later on. At least he's still alive, isn't he?"
Seeing Lin Yaqing like this, Su Ruisheng couldn't help but sigh: "Why are you saying these things during the New Year? Look at you, you're even crying?"
Lin Yaqing wiped away her tears: "Yes, don't cry. This is a good thing! The dumplings are in the pot. Dinner will be served soon. You should wake the two children up. We're going to visit the neighbors for the New Year today."
Nan Qu smiled and said, "Okay."
Nan Qu turned and walked towards the children's room, gently knocking on the door. A groggy reply came from inside, and a moment later, the two little ones appeared in the doorway, rubbing their eyes.
After breakfast, Nan Qu offered to help clean the kitchen, but Lin Ya Qing refused.
"You all change your clothes. Didn't we buy new clothes before the New Year? Change them up and go pay your respects. Your dad and I are here."
After saying that, Lin Yaqing said to Su Ruisheng, "Don't just sit there. Put out all the things we bought for the house on a fruit platter. What would it look like if we had nothing when our guests come over? Also, have you prepared the red envelopes?"
Upon hearing Lin Yaqing's words, Su Ruisheng quickly stood up and said, "Coming, coming."
Then Su Ruisheng said to Nan Qu and the others, "Go on, go on, we'll take care of things here."
Nan Qu and Lin Yaqing specially bought bright red clothes for the New Year, and the whole family had one. Su Ruisheng changed into his clothes in the morning, and Lin Yaqing would change into her clothes later after cleaning the kitchen.
Nan Qu and Su Ruoyan had changed their clothes, and the two children were already waiting. When neighbors visit each other for the New Year, there's no need to bring gifts; just visiting each other's homes is enough. Nan Qu had gone to visit neighbors for the New Year with her father when she was little. That was a very long time ago.
Now, being with Su Ruoyan, she feels happier than her two children.
After leaving their home, the family came to the street.
The courtyard was filled with the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year. Red lanterns hung all around the courtyard, couplets were neatly pasted, and the character "福" (fortune) was pasted upside down, symbolizing the arrival of good fortune. There were still some firecracker debris on the ground, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder mixed with the aroma of dumplings.
Su Ruoyan held Nan Qu's hand, his face beaming with happiness. Looking at the familiar courtyard scene before him, he was filled with emotion. He had once thought he would never again enjoy such simple and beautiful times, but thanks to this kind and intelligent woman beside him. Nan Qu also felt this warm and harmonious atmosphere; she knew that here, she had found true belonging to a family.
After leaving the Su family's house, I walked only a few steps to Uncle Li's house next door.
At this moment, the front door of Grandpa Li's house also opened.
Su Ruoyan called out from outside the door, and Grandpa Li immediately came out with a smile: "Come in quickly."
Seeing how enthusiastic Grandpa Li was, Nan Qu felt a little strange. Although the old man did have a good relationship with them, he usually acted like this to ask for wine or to compete with her father-in-law for tea.
Their current enthusiasm seems suspiciously suspicious.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered the door, the old man couldn't hold back any longer: "I heard that your older brother brought home a girlfriend who is even younger than you yesterday?"
Seeing the old man's gossipy look, Su Ruoyan chuckled: "I don't know, why don't you ask my dad?"
Grandpa Li said irritably, "What can you possibly get out of your father, that old fox? Tell me, is that woman pretty? Your brother even quit his job for her?"
Su Ruoyan knew that these old people were well-informed. His older brother had deliberately kept it a secret before, but now that he had brought it up himself, everyone would naturally be able to find out.
I don't know if she looks good or not, but she's young!
Nanqu couldn't help but chuckle. Because in the last couple of days, their family had completely overused the word "young."
