Su Congwen stood there for a long time, so long that he seemed like he was going to become a rooted tree.
He looked at Li Xiufang and her daughter who were crying and almost fainting, and at the solemn and sad villagers. After saying goodbye to Brother Zhang for the last time in his heart, he turned around and left silently.
"Mom, uncle is gone." Huahua, with her eyes red from crying, looked at the road out of the village and said to Li Xiufang.
Li Xiufang watched Su Congwen leave and hugged Huahua tightly. "Uncle is a hero just like your father. He still has so many things to do."
"Okay." Huahua nodded ignorantly. She didn't know what a hero was, but she knew that this uncle was a very, very powerful person like her father.
After the funeral, many people in the village expressed their concern for Li Xiufang and her daughter. Zhang Jianlin even said that if they have any difficulties in the future, they can tell the team and they will definitely do what they can.
Li Xiufang nodded. After seeing everyone off, she was exhausted both physically and mentally. She sat in a chair in a daze, looking at the sky outside. She was overwhelmed by the uncertainty of the future.
"Mom." Huahua opened the things Su Congwen left behind and her eyes widened. "So much money."
Li Xiufang was stunned and looked over quickly. There was a neatly arranged stack of money, even in small amounts, including banknotes. This was what Su Congwen left behind. He had saved all his allowance here and only left money for himself to take home.
She looked at the money and her nose felt sore again.
——————
Su Congwen returned to Anding City. He stood on the street, looked around, and watched the people coming and going. His eyes were confused for a moment. Brother Zhang had gone home, so where should he go next?
He stood there for a long time, until he saw a parent and child walking home, and then he suddenly came out of his heavy mood. It was time for him to go home, his family was waiting for him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt urgent to go home. He wanted to tell his family the news of his return as soon as possible. Writing letters and sending telegrams were too slow. Su Congwen couldn't wait and found a place to call the steel plant in Luoshui County directly to find his elder brother Su Congjun, wanting to tell him the news that he was about to return home.
"Looking for Su Congjun? He's not here." A familiar accent came from the other side, which made Su Congwen stunned.
Isn't it time to go to work now? Why isn't he at work? What happened?
"Who are you to Su Congjun?" the person opposite asked in confusion.
"I'm his younger brother, Su Congwen." Su Congwen replied, "Isn't my brother at work today?"
The person on the other side thought for a moment, thinking they had heard that Su Congjun had two younger brothers, one working at the county textile factory and the other serving in the army. "No, he took leave. His whole family went to Beijing to attend a wedding. Don't you know you're his younger brother?"
Su Congwen was stunned. "Wedding?"
"It was his sister, Su Qingyun's wedding." The person opposite said, "He left yesterday."
"Then may I ask if you have the specific address of the place where they are going in Beijing?" Su Congwen asked hurriedly.
"The address? Yes, I need to look for it."
Su Congjun needed a letter of introduction to go to the capital, on which the address of his destination would be written.
"Thank you." Su Congwen thanked him.
After getting the address, he bought a train ticket to Beijing, his heart heading straight to his beloved relatives.
"A-choo! A-choo!" Zhang Xinlan, who was far away in Beijing, sneezed twice in a row. She rubbed her nose and muttered, "Who is cursing me behind my back?"
"Who has the time to scold you?" Wu Guixiang rolled her eyes. "Are Congjun and Congwu arriving soon?"
"That should be it," Li Xiulian said, "The train arrives at 5 pm."
"Okay, go pick someone up later." Wu Guixiang instructed, "I'll accompany Yunyun to try on wedding dresses later."
Su Qingyun's wedding dress was made by a skilled craftsman from Beijing whom Su Aimin specially invited. Because time was tight, he added a lot of money to the dress. The fabrics and patterns were all the best, and even the style was designed by someone he had Su Qingyun confirm.
"Okay." Li Xiu Lian and Zhang Xin Lan both nodded.
When she went to try on clothes, Su Qingyun didn't see her parents, so she asked her grandmother, "Grandma, where are my parents?"
"I'm out. I have something to do. I'll go with you to try on clothes."
"Okay." Su Qingyun didn't think much about it.
"Let's go, Master Ren is probably waiting."
"good."
The grandparents went out to try on clothes, while the others went to pick up Su Congjun and the others.
"Try it on first to see if it fits. If it doesn't, you can alter it." When they arrived at the place, the master craftsman took out the finished wedding dress and handed it to Su Qingyun.
"Okay, thank you."
Su Qingyun went into the inner room to change clothes, and Wu Guixiang was waiting outside.
Soon, she came out, and when she saw her granddaughter's appearance, Wu Guixiang's eyes lit up.
"It looks good! It looks really good!"
She kept praising it, saying that this was not a granddaughter filter.
Su Qingyun's wedding dress was red, but not the kind of red that was too bright and flamboyant. It was a slightly darker red that did not appear gloomy or dull.
The style is a top and skirt design, with a beautiful flower adorning the slanted collar and irregular delicate buttons that outline her slender waist when buttoned. The skirt has a slightly fishtail design, and the overall look is both fashionable and elegant, perfectly blending with Su Qingyun's temperament.
The master craftsman also looked with satisfaction at the clothes he made being worn by the right people.
"Yunyun, take a quick look, there is a mirror there." Wu Guixiang urged.
"good."
Su Qingyun stood in front of the mirror, looked around, and thought it was good.
"Not bad, it fits me well. Let's take this." She nodded with satisfaction.
Ji Yue's clothes were also custom-made here, a well-tailored suit, but he didn't have time to try it on, so Su Qingyun and the others could only take the clothes back and let him wear them directly when the time comes.
As soon as the grandparents and grandchildren returned home with the clothes, they saw Su Aimin and Qin Ying coming back in a hurry, with happy looks on their faces.
"Yunyun, let's go somewhere with Dad."
"What?" Su Qingyun was stunned. She had just returned and hadn't even sat down yet.
"Let's go." Her mother also urged.
"Okay." Su Qingyun called her grandma, "Grandma, let's go together."
"Okay." Wu Guixiang followed with a smile, as if she knew something.
Su Qingyun thought the place he was going to was very far away, but he arrived after just a few steps. It was only two blocks away from Oak Alley, where there was a commercial housing complex that had just been built.
"Mom and Dad, what are we doing here?" Su Qingyun was puzzled.
Su Aimin pointed to the building in front and said, "Yunyun, look over there."
Su Qingyun looked over in confusion.
"The fourth floor is the house your mother and I bought for you." His tone was proud, as if he was giving orders.
What? Bought a house? Su Qingyun was stunned.
