Chapter 613
The next morning, the Su family's yard became bustling with activity. Today's plan was that Su Yuanzheng and Su Yu would each drive a car, pick up Su Miao, Su Hui and Jiang Fengyi, and set off back to Sujia Village with a load of New Year's goods.
While having breakfast, Su Miao saw Jiang Fengyi and was still confused as to what was going on.
On second thought, Jiang Fengyi has no parents at home, and perhaps the bosses in the army are too busy this year to celebrate the New Year with him.
Then she said enthusiastically:
"Brother Yi, just come back with us to celebrate the New Year and make it your own! Have you ever been to the countryside to celebrate the New Year? It's so lively there, and my second aunt even sings folk songs."
"Okay! I'll go back with you guys, hehehehe!"
Jiang Fengyi laughed "hehehehe", Su Miao thought he was weird, and Sister Hui, who was busy sorting New Year's goods with her head down and silent, also looked weird.
Su Miao looked down at the New Year's goods Jiang Fengyi brought, which were twice as much as the store gave out. She suddenly felt super strong and pulled her father to the corner and muttered:
"Brother Yi is so polite. He brought so many gifts when he went to have a few meals with us."
Su Yuanzheng gave his daughter a meaningful look and said with a smile, "You really don't know? Didn't your sister Hui tell you?"
"What did you say? Is there anything else I can't listen to?" Su Miao looked confused and forgot to bite the bun in his hand.
"Ayi and Ahui are going back to meet your second uncle and second aunt. They are dating. If everything goes well, they can go and calculate the date after the New Year."
Su Miao's mind seemed to be stirred by an iron rod, and he said blankly:
"Dating? Is it the kind of dating that I understand or the kind that I don't understand?"
Su Yuanzheng rarely saw his daughter in such a dazed state, so he tried to tease her:
"So, what is your understanding of dating, and what is your understanding of dating?"
After hearing his father's question, Su Miao felt that it was probably the kind that he both understood and didn't understand.
What I understand is that men and women of marriageable age develop feelings for each other, get to know each other, and talk about marriage.
What I don’t understand is why her trip to the capital became such a big deal.
Her best cousin was dating a brother she trusted, and she didn't even know anything about it! She's so tight-lipped! How much has she missed out on? She can't accept this!
"That's not right! Dad! When did you find out that Sister Hui and Brother Yi were dating? We've only been away for half a year, how could things progress so quickly?"
"I've seen it a long time ago! Otherwise, why do you think I kept calling you to come back and take a shower when Ayi was helping your sister Hui watch over the fire to make rice dumplings? You were still eating roasted sweet potatoes in front of others like an idiot.
After we went to Beijing, your second uncle called me and told me about this and asked me what I thought. Then I knew that they were dating with the intention of getting married.
They are both good kids, and I think it's a good thing for them to be together. And this way, Ayi will truly become part of our family."
Su Miao looked annoyed: "Ah? There were signs so early? I didn't even notice anything."
Su Yuanzheng comforted his daughter, "You are still young, it's normal that you don't understand these adult matters."
"So, are Sister Hui and Brother Yi progressing so quickly? They're going home to meet their parents for the New Year? Don't most people have to date for two or three years before settling down?"
"Hey! What's wrong with you, little brat? Aren't you usually the best friends with that family? They're also very kind to you. Don't you want them to be together?"
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just... a little surprising. After all, I really didn't get any information before."
"It wasn't that fast, actually. After all, they had known each other for a few years and had worked together for a while, so they knew each other's personalities, conduct, and family backgrounds very well.
We've been dating for about half a year now, so I can finally get to know my family. Besides, the wedding date isn't right around the corner; who knows if it'll be half a year from now."
Su Miao quickly accepted the fact that due to his blind spots in knowledge, he was unable to get the gossip about his cousin's love life first.
Even though the matter has been accepted, the person still needs to be questioned strictly.
While the men were loading New Year's goods into the carriage, Su Miao took Sister Hui to the backyard.
"Sister Hui! You're so mean! You didn't even tell me such a big thing!"
Su Hui looked at Su Miao, who was as tall as herself, and said with a smile:
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that we got to know each other more and fell in love, so we got together naturally."
Su Miao's eyes sparkled as he leaned closer and asked:
"So when did you and Brother Yi get together? Ah~ I was wondering, when I mentioned Sister Xiuyu, you just happened to come in. Why was he so flustered? So that's why!"
The morning breeze blew, and a few leaves fell from the trees in the yard. Su Hui reached out to catch one and said softly:
"We just got to know each other slowly before. When we hit it off, we would chat together all the time. He was also very active in helping us with anything we needed.
At that time, you were preparing for the college entrance examination and had to take care of the store's affairs. I couldn't come and talk to you about these things and distract you.
Then you and Uncle Shi went to the capital. One day, he went to the workshop to drink with your brother Yu. When I saw him off, he said he liked me very much and asked if I would be willing to date him with the intention of getting married.
Su Miao listened with great interest. When she stopped, he quickly asked:
"And then what? You agreed?"
"I was undecided at the time. I didn't know if dating a coworker would have a negative impact, so I asked my dad to ask your dad for his approval. I only agreed after your dad agreed."
Su Miao exaggeratedly covered his head, which was getting hot.
"Ah?! Sister Hui, I have to say you're incredibly ambitious. Your first reaction to someone confessing their love was to worry about the negative impact, and you even had to ask my dad for his approval before agreeing?
You're so calm, I should learn from you! So... do you like Brother Yi or not? "
Su Hui laughed and said, "Of course I like you! I'm not someone that just any gay man can chase after! So of course you have to like me!"
Su Miao looked at Su Hui with admiration and said:
"Sister Hui is truly a role model for our generation! No matter how powerful Brother Ren Yi is outside, he will eventually be conquered by you. Wow! From now on, Brother Yi will be my brother-in-law!"
So, am I considered to be related to several high-ranking military officials by marriage? I will have a strong backer in the future. Just thinking about it makes me excited!"
"Great! You're already plotting right in front of me. If this really happens, I'll have to keep a close eye on my finances to prevent them from being emptied out by a little hamster like you."
Su Hui pretended to hit her, but Su Miao dodged nimbly. The two sisters chased each other in the yard, and their laughter was so loud that it could be heard from the front.
