Two days before the Chinese New Year, the winter village of Luoshui finally welcomed the return of its long-awaited residents.
Su Aimin, with his wife and daughter, carried his things and walked home, one step deep and one step shallow. Along the way, he met many villagers from Luoshui Village who were going to the town to buy New Year's goods. When they saw these three people, they widened their eyes and suddenly thought they had seen them wrong.
"Oh my goodness, Aimin, your family is finally back! How long has it been? You've been away for a year, right?"
"The change is quite big. He really looks like someone from a big city. If I saw him on the street, I wouldn't recognize him."
"You have to go back quickly. Aunt Wu probably forgot to see through her eyes at home. She is looking forward to your return."
"Qingyun is getting more and more beautiful. Is she dating someone in the capital? If not, I'll introduce you to someone who's very handsome and an officer."
When Su Aimin heard the first few words, his face was still full of smiles, but when he heard the last sentence, his face immediately drooped halfway, and he forced a smile and said, "That's not necessary. Our Yunyun is still young and goes to school. We are not considering finding a partner for the time being." This guy is really idle.
After saying that, he said to Su Qingyun: "Right, Yunyun?"
Su Qingyun nodded somewhat guiltily.
Su Aimin nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, sister, we are in a hurry to go home, so let's not talk about it for now."
After saying this, he quickened his pace, and Qin Ying and Su Qingyun followed behind him.
The family arrived at Luoshui Village before lunch. As soon as they entered the village, the Su family heard the news and hurried out to greet them. They saw three figures from a distance.
There were smiles of surprise in the eyes of the Su family. He was finally back.
Wu Guixiang could only see Su Qingyun, and no one else. She kept calling out, "Yunyun, my precious child, you're finally back. I missed you so much."
Su Qingyun also quickened his pace and trotted over, "Grandma, I miss you too!"
The scene of the grandparents and grandchildren hugging each other was very touching. Su Aimin and Qin Ying, who were walking behind, had calm expressions. It was normal and they were used to it. When Yunyun was around, their mother could not see anyone else.
Su Aiguo patted Su Aimin's shoulder. Being a simple and honest man, he was not good at speaking. He just said, "I'm glad you're back."
Li Xiulian smiled and said, "That's right, Third Brother, I've finally been waiting for you to come back."
"Hey, Third Brother, how come you look so energetic after being away for a year?" Zhang Xinlan joked when she saw Su Aimin, "It's true that clothes make the man. This outfit really makes you look like a city dweller. It's not cheap, is it? How much did you buy it for?"
"Hey, Yingzi, your scarf is also very beautiful. It looks comfortable and warm. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously mentioned money. Wu Guixiang gave her a deathly glare, "You keep talking about money. Can you please be quiet?"
As soon as they came back, they kept talking about money. If you didn’t know, you would think that the third brother and his family had gone out to work for a year to earn money.
Su Aidang gave Zhang Xinlan a look and she shut up immediately. She just wanted to ask and had no other intentions.
Qin Ying smiled and said, "We brought some things back for everyone. They're all trendy over there."
"It's enough that the people are back. Why do you spend this money?" Wu Guixiang felt anxious when she thought of the third brother's family's house in Beijing. What will happen in the future if they spend money so lavishly?
"That's impossible." Su Aimin disagreed. "How can I go home for the New Year empty-handed?"
Zhang Xinlan's eyes lit up, "Come on, come on, third brother, let's go inside quickly, it's so cold outside." It didn't matter whether it was east or west, the main thing was that she was afraid they would get cold.
Wu Guixiang rolled her eyes at her. She was more enthusiastic than anyone else in saying that there were gifts to be had.
The family entered the house, where there was a fire burning, and it was finally a little warmer. Li Xiu Lian took the initiative to go to the kitchen to boil water and make some brown sugar ginger tea to help them ward off the cold.
Su Aimin took out all the things he brought with him, scarf, gloves, hat...
From small things like hairbands to big things like clothes, there was everything, and the whole family was stunned by the sight.
"Third brother, how much did you spend on this?" Zhang Xinlan asked in disbelief. These things looked expensive. Didn't Third Brother and his family go out to study? Did they get rich?
"It's not much." Su Aimin smiled nonchalantly, "I don't know what you like, so you can choose for yourselves."
Anyway, they are all leftover goods that he has not sold, and they are not worth much money. But even if they are leftover goods, as Yunyun said, they are at the forefront of fashion here, and any one of them is so rare that people can't help but want it.
"OK!"
Zhang Xinlan's eyes lit up even more. Just as she was about to make her move, Wu Guixiang glared at her and said, "Is the meal ready? Wait and see."
"Okay, Mom." Zhang Xinlan withdrew her hand with a playful smile. Anyway, the things were at home and would not fly away, so she was not in a hurry.
Wu Guixiang pulled Su Qingyun's hand and looked it up and down several times. When Su Aimin and Qin Ying returned to their room to pack up, she quietly asked her, "Yunyun, tell me, were you not at home for the past two months?"
Su Qingyun was stunned. "No...no."
"I'm stuttering, and I haven't said anything yet." Wu Guixiang had a look of expectation on her face. "Your parents wrote that letter and tried to deceive me. They spoke to you in a completely different tone. I noticed it a long time ago."
Wu Guixiang had noticed it the first time she received the letter written by Qin Ying and others on Su Qingyun's behalf, but she also knew that they did so because they were afraid of making her worry, so she didn't expose it. Now that they were back, she asked about it.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it from her grandmother, Su Qingyun could only nod and say, "I went out to work earlier and couldn't go home. I was afraid you would worry, so I asked my parents to write the letter for me."
