"Okay, Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you." Xia Qiu nodded readily. She also wanted to hide away in peace and quiet.
"Kid, why are you bothering me? Come on, go into the house." Qin Ying asked her to go back together.
At the Su family's house, Li Xiu Lian and others who were busy in the house heard the noise and hurried out.
"Oh, Mom and Dad, Third Son and his wife, you are finally back!" Zhang Xinlan clapped her thighs, extremely happy.
"Mom and Dad!" Su Aiguo and Su Aidang shouted happily.
My parents have not been home for so long, they must miss me too.
Li Xiu Lian was also excited and quickly took the things from their hands.
"Come into the house quickly and warm up. It's very cold today." Li Xiu Lian called them to go into the house quickly.
"OK."
The family entered the house, and Zhang Xinlan and Li Xiu Lian poured them hot water.
"Drink some to warm yourself up." Li Xiu Lian handed the water to Qin Ying.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Xiao Qiu is here too."
"There are too many people at home. I'll sit here for a while, Auntie. I'll be leaving soon." Xia Qiu said with a smile.
"Don't worry, stay home for dinner today." Li Xiu Lian said.
"It's okay, I'll just sit here and listen to you guys chat." Xia Qiu also picked up a glass of water and drank it in small sips.
The whole family sat together, feeling excited and thrilled.
"Third brother, Yunyun and A Yue haven't come back yet?" Zhang Xinlan asked with concern.
"No." Su Aimin said, "They are busy with work, that's normal. It will be more lively if we celebrate the New Year together."
"That's right. Congwu and the others will be off the day after tomorrow. I reckon Congwen should be home in the next couple of days." Congwen only has a few days off, and Zhang Xinlan has been counting the days eagerly. She vowed, "When Congwen comes back this time, I'll definitely arrange for him to meet five girls a day. I don't believe there won't be any he likes."
Zhang Xinlan has asked the matchmakers to pick out all the good girls in the surrounding area. She must take advantage of Congwen's vacation to solve Congwen's most important life event. Otherwise, she will worry every day, and she won't be able to sleep well, or eat well... or eat well.
Xia Qiu held the cup in her hand, stunned. What? Meeting five girls in one day? This was too horrible, even more horrifying than what was happening at her home.
If five men were in front of her and met her, she would probably faint.
Before Su Congwen returned, Xia Qiu had already begun to sympathize with him.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Wu Guixiang rolled her eyes when she heard this. "You can even imagine meeting five girls in one day? Do you think this is how the emperor used to choose his concubines? Lining them all up in a row for him to choose? My family's literary talent is excellent, but it's not a treasure that everyone sees and thinks is precious."
"Besides, which good girl would you choose like this?" Wu Guixiang became more and more angry as she spoke. This second son's wife only gave bad ideas all day long.
"Then I...then I have no choice, right? I'm so anxious." Zhang Xinlan said aggrievedly, "If Congwen doesn't work hard, I must help." Her younger brother Congwu is already the father of two children, but Congwen still has no place to go. How can she not be anxious?
"No matter how anxious you are, you can't do this. If you spread the word, what will others say about our Su family?" Wu Guixiang said with a sullen face. "People will think that our Su family has had a good life in the past two years, so we've become so serious. Be careful that they will report us directly to the higher-ups and punish us. What will you do then?"
Wu Guixiang is now doing mediation work in the street very well and has seen a lot of things. Some people can really do anything.
"Believe it or not, if you dare to let Congwen meet five girls in one day today, someone will report Congwen tomorrow and say that he has problems with his work style?" Wu Guixiang now knows a lot of words. Although she is only in charge of a few alley mediation matters, she has seen a lot of things. Those people in the unit report back and forth all day long, and she is tired of seeing it.
"What is a style issue?" Zhang Xinlan didn't understand and asked stupidly.
"It's just that there are problems with my personal life and character." Qin Ying interrupted and helped explain.
"How is that possible!" Zhang Xinlan was startled and raised her voice in panic, "Our Congwen is a war hero, how could he have such a… style problem?"
"That's why I told you not to do that," Wu Guixiang warned her. "Don't bring shame to Congwen."
"See what I said, this won't work." Su Aidang said.
"I understand." Zhang Xinlan said reluctantly. Although her mind was not very clear most of the time, she could still distinguish the importance of things when it came to her son. After hearing what they said, she vaguely realized the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to do as she had originally planned.
"What about Congwen? This makes me worried." Zhang Xinlan sighed.
"Aunt, don't worry. Brother Congwen is a man who can do big things. He must know what's going on." Xia Qiu comforted her.
"I'm worried he'll be too busy with other important things and forget about his most important task." Zhang Xinlan still had a worried look on her face. "Now that I think about it, even though Congwu is a bit naughty, he still hasn't given me any worries about these things."
She now felt a little relieved when she thought about how Cong Wuhu had brought Shuhui home directly. She was now looking forward to the day when Congwen would bring a girl home directly. Then she would definitely set off three big firecrackers to celebrate.
"Okay, second sister-in-law, every child has different plans. It's useless to force him. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings." Qin Ying also said with a smile, "I believe Congwen. Maybe one day he will bring someone back."
"That would be great." Zhang Xinlan said. Of course, she thought so too. If Congwen could bring a girl home, she would really be thankful.
Xia Qiu looked at Zhang Xinlan and felt relieved. Fortunately, although she was a girl and not young anymore, her parents never urged her to do these things. She was still lucky.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's take a look at what we brought back." Su Aimin said, "Everyone will have a piece of clothing, a pair of pants, and a pair of shoes to wear during the New Year."
"Oh, the third brother is preparing to let us all wear new clothes for the New Year." Li Xiu Lian was happy.
"Of course." Su Aimin said proudly.
He has a pretty good business now, and many people from all over the world wear the clothes he has bought. It doesn't make sense that his own family can't wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year.
"Put them all on." Wu Guixiang ordered. They were exhausted after bringing back so many clothes.
"Okay, put on new clothes."
Everyone nodded happily.
