She smiled at her second brother, and no one knew what they were saying. The car went further and further away and soon disappeared from sight.
As Su Chenhao watched the sun set, a feeling of returning home welled up within him.
"Wife, God has been kind to me! Although life was tough before, now that I have you, I feel sweet every day, like I've eaten candy."
Qiao Xiaoni wrapped her arms around his waist. "I feel the same way. Being with you gives me a sense of belonging and a feeling of inexplicable peace."
Su Chenhao smiled, "Maybe we were a couple in our past lives."
"Hmm, it's not impossible." Qiao Xiaoni looked up at the roadside grass, realizing that happiness really is that simple. As long as you meet the right person, even an ordinary life can be fulfilling and joyful.
night.
Qiao Xiaoni's first attempt at cooking pig intestines was even more successful than expected. Old Chen had already cleaned the intestines; all that was needed was a quick rinse with water. Without any further trouble, she stir-fried a whole pot of them.
The aroma was wonderful, so I stir-fried some cucumber with free-range eggs for the kids.
The food was served, and everyone sat down together to eat dinner.
Qiao Dashan poured himself a glass of wine. "I'm happy today, I'm going to have a few more drinks."
Tao Chunfang coughed, indicating that he shouldn't drink too much. The shop was under renovation, and if he drank too much, he wouldn't be able to work tomorrow!
Li Meihua was quite direct, taking the bottle away directly. "Just have one drink, you still have work to do tomorrow! You need to pay more attention to your own work."
Qiao Dashan realized that he did have a lot of work to do tomorrow, so he didn't object.
After taking a bite of pig intestines, Qiao Haisheng exclaimed, "I never expected pig intestines to be so delicious!"
Li Meihua didn't like eating pig intestines, but she saw the old man eating them with great pleasure.
"Honey, buy some more pig intestines tomorrow and stir-fry them again. They're inexpensive and delicious."
"Yes, if I had it, I would definitely buy it," Qiao Xiaoni replied with a smile.
...
Four days of this peaceful life passed in the blink of an eye. The shop was renovated and officially opened two days later on an auspicious day.
The plaque hung on the eaves of the door, covered with a red cloth, to be unveiled on the day of the opening.
Qiao Xiaoni looked around the renovated shop, which was even better than she had expected. Several tables could be set up outside, and with the tables inside, it could accommodate dozens of people to eat together at the same time.
Qiao Xiaoshan jumped off the stool. "It's finally all done. We're just waiting for the opening the day after tomorrow so we can take it down."
Su Chenhao settled the accounts with the construction workers, paid them their wages, and agreed to contact them again if needed in the future. The job was considered done.
Qiao Dashan came out from inside carrying a basket.
"All the trash in the house has been cleaned up."
Qiao Xiaoni nodded, "Big brother, you've worked hard cleaning up all by yourself for so long."
"What kind of work is this?" Qiao Dashan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "The work I've done these past few days is the lightest I've done in the past few years."
Qiao Xiaoni inadvertently saw that the door of her neighbor's house opened again, and a woman came out with a little boy of about two years old. Then an old woman of about fifty or sixty years old came out. It seemed that they were about to go out after locking the door.
The old lady wasn't in good health; she coughed as she walked.
When Qiao Xiaoshan saw Ma Yulan come out, he looked completely lost, not knowing where to look.
