When Liu Nian woke up in the morning, she opened her eyes groggily and saw Su Xu lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) writing in his diary.
Covered with a thin blanket, his body was hunched over, his brows relaxed, and a smile played on Su Xu's lips.
Afraid of making a noise, Liu Nian cautiously approached.
Seeing that Su Xu wrote—
“I am included in Nian Nian’s future plans.”
It's always been there, you fool.

After the wheat harvest, the next festival is "Kan Re". Here, Kan Re is the second most important festival after the Spring Festival. On this day, all the men must go back to their mothers-in-law's house with their wives.
They carried bottles of fine wine as a gift for their father-in-law, and fruits and snacks for their mother-in-law. The market lasted from dawn till dusk, for about five days, and the children's hearts were set on playing there.
Su Xu had prepared everything early on, and at daybreak he took Liu Nian back to his parents' home. Zhang Suzhen, of course, took Liu Qiang and the child back to the Zhang family home.
The elders of the Liu family passed away early. Liu Dafa has a younger brother named Liu Dayong and a younger sister named Liu Chuanfang. When their great-aunt returned to her parents' home, it was the two older brothers and their wives who were busy entertaining her.
But this year is more lively. Liu Nian got married, and Sister Xiuxiu, who married far away, also came back.
"We should be there soon." Zhou Hongyi couldn't sit still and went out to check every now and then, going back and forth several times.
“Your second aunt has been talking about it for ages,” Liu Hua said with a smile. “Strictly speaking, Xiuxiu didn’t marry anyone from that far away, just from the next county, but it’s not easy for her to come back.”
After saying this, Liu Hua felt quite pleased with herself, knowing her daughter was right beside her. Whenever she missed her daughter, she would just walk a few steps, make something delicious, and bring it to her. There was nothing that made her happier than having her daughter by her side.
Liu Nian, heavily pregnant, was responsible for sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) and stuffing food into her mouth. Her husband, worried that she would go hungry or not like the food, specially made a snack box for Liu Nian to hold and eat from.
Liu Chuanfang was the aunt who had returned to her parents' home after the wedding. She did nothing but chat with Liu Nian, saying, "Your sister Xiuxiu married well. Her husband is honest, and his family are carpenters. They have a skill. I was the matchmaker!"
Her aunt's job was to act as a matchmaker. If a match was made, she would receive a gift for the introduction and would have to sit at the head table at the wedding banquet. She was always full of praise and had a knack for sweet talk.
"Xiuxiu is doing so well, she should thank me properly." Liu Chuanfang proudly tilted her head back at Liu Nian, "Everyone I introduced to her is living a happy life."
"Hey, we've been married for over a year and still don't have any kids. What's going on?" Liu Chuanfang muttered to Zhou Hongyi, "You really need to ask her about it. Look at how many kids she has, three of them."
Zhou Hongyi twitched the corner of her mouth but didn't say anything.
In her previous life, Liu Nian didn't have much of an impression of Liu Xiuxiu. After marrying Su Hang, Su Hang didn't want her to get close to her relatives, saying they were all poor relatives who were bloodsuckers. So Liu Nian cut off all contact with them.
To be honest, Liu Nian really wanted to show it off.
The door opened, and Zhou Hongyi, who was sitting on a stool picking vegetables, jumped up immediately. "Is that Xiuxiu?"
Outside the door, Liu Xiuxiu was carrying holiday gifts, waiting for her husband, Du Jianguo, to park his bicycle.
The two walked in, and everyone in the room quickly went out to greet them.
Su Xu tugged at Liu Nian's hand and said, "I feel like I've seen your brother-in-law somewhere before."
Seeing Zhou Hongyi's beaming face, Liu Nian nodded and said, "You should have met her when we got married."
“No.” Su Xu frowned.
On their wedding day, Su Xu was so nervous that he couldn't tell who was who, and he had no recollection of what Du Jianguo looked like.
Suddenly, a scene flashed through Su Xu's mind. "I remember now, it was the hospital. I was buying you some supplements when I bumped into someone on my way downstairs, it was your brother-in-law."
At that moment, Du Jianguo hurriedly picked up the medicine from the ground, glanced at Su Xu, and turned to leave.
