This was the funny scene that Su Luo saw when she pushed the door open.
She couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Gu Yi! Go home!"
When Gu Yi heard the shout, she stopped crying instantly and rolled off Aunt Niu's body. Like a small cannon, she rushed into Su Luo's arms and said, "Mom! You are finally back. I was so anxious and wanted to go find you, but Aunt Niu wouldn't let me go out!"
Su Luo couldn't help laughing, and said to Aunt Niu cheerfully: "Thank you, Auntie! I'll bring you some braised shredded chicken tomorrow!"
Aunt Niu also smiled: "No, no, you've been busy all day, go back!"
Su Luo smiled and nodded.
Aunt Niu called her again: "Xiao Luo, is there any food at home? Otherwise, bring the children over and eat at my house?"
Su Luo shook her head: "No need, auntie, I've already eaten in town tonight!"
"Okay, go ahead!" Aunt Niu said cheerfully, "I'll come to your house for dinner tomorrow, too. I'll cook a dish and bring it over to celebrate your second child's return home!"
Su Luo did not refuse: "That's great!"
Su Luo brought Gu Yi back home, and Gu Xiaoer was waiting at the door.
The family of three is finally alive and well.
In the afternoon, the chicken farm delivered chickens. She gave Aunt Niu money in advance. The chickens were placed in the kitchen and kept in ice with well water.
Su Luo took a deep breath and looked at the two little guys: "Go play by yourselves! Mom has to work."
They couldn't help much with handling the raw chicken.
Gu Yi and Gu Xiaoer had been separated for a long time and had a lot to talk about, so they moved some small stools and sat next to each other to talk.
Su Luo listened to them sharing their lives over the past few years while processing the chickens. The work was not tiring at all.
The next day, Su Luo came back from selling the braised meat, and everyone in the village knew that she had found her child.
She deliberately did not let Gu Yi go with her to sell braised meat today, but instead asked Gu Yi to take Gu Xiaoer to play in the village and get familiar with the home environment.
Su Luo and Aunt Niu came back together and agreed to meet at noon.
Su Luo went home first, cleaned the kitchen, and waited for Aunt Niu to come home and finish cleaning, then bring the ingredients over so they could cook together. The two of them also bought a bottle of wine in town.
Aunt Niu happily washed the car and steamed the breakfast rack, then went to Su Luo's house across the street with a bag of peaches and two pounds of pickled edamame.
As soon as he stepped out of the house, he was stopped.
The one who held her back was Nong Jiao, a famous matchmaker in the village.
Aunt Niu smiled when she saw her, "Hey, have you eaten yet?"
Nong Jiao nodded: "I ate it, I ate it."
Aunt Niu said happily: "Okay, I'm going to cook now."
Nong Jiao glanced at what she was holding and asked, "Which restaurant are we going to cook at?"
She raised her chin and pointed towards Su Luo's house.
Aunt Niu saw that she seemed to have a little disapproval on her face, and the smile on her face faded a little: "Yes."
Nong Jiao said with a reproachful sound: "Sister-in-law, look at you, there are so many neighbors here, why are you so close to her?"
"Xiao Luo is a good girl. She has turned over a new leaf and is reliable and capable!" Aunt Niu was so proud that she seemed to be praising her own daughter.
Nong Jiao frowned so hard that it could kill someone. "Sister-in-law, you are so confused! She did something like that, and the whole village was in an uproar. Who wouldn't stab her in the back? If you get close to her, you will ruin your own reputation in the end."
"Xiao Luo is a kind-hearted person. How can she ruin my reputation?" Aunt Niu gave her a disapproving look.
Nong Jiao said angrily, "You don't care about your reputation, but what about your daughter's reputation? Isn't your daughter still working in the county? She only comes back once a month, and it's almost time for her to get married. If you get together with someone who has a child out of wedlock, your reputation will be ruined, and Qiuyun won't be able to get married!"
Qiuyun is Niu Fang's daughter, and her surname is also Su.
Hearing her daughter's name, Aunt Niu showed a hint of hesitation: "No way..."
"Why not?" Nong Jiao lowered her voice, "She fooled around with a man before getting married and gave birth to a bunch of kids, and the man ran away. Wouldn't anyone be criticized for this? You always follow her in and out, and everyone in the village is watching you. Who can stop the gossip? When Qiuyun is looking for a husband in the future, people will send people to our village to inquire about it. You are an only child, and you are close to this kind of woman, so they will suspect Qiuyun later!"
Aunt Niu pursed her lips. She had never thought about this before, but after being reminded by Nong Jiao, it was indeed true...
She is upright and willing to help Su Luo. Su Luo is indeed a good person now, but there is no guarantee that others will not gossip about her.
After she became close to Su Luo, the women she used to hang out with rarely hung out with her anymore, but she hadn't noticed it before.
If it was her, it would be fine. She is just a widower and no one can criticize her in any way they want. But her daughter is her life, and she can't... and doesn't want her daughter to be affected by such things.
Aunt Niu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand what you said."
Nong Jiao nodded and said, "I'll come to your house later. I have several good comrades here who are asking about Qiuyun's situation. They all work in the county."
Aunt Niu nodded quickly: "That's great, just come."
Nong Jiao nodded, and then said: "Then I'll go get busy first, I still have a few families to visit, and several children are waiting to get married by the end of the year."
Aunt Niu nodded, watched Nong Jiao leave, and then went towards Su Luo's home.
Su Luo saw her coming and greeted her with a smile: "Aunt, come and try it. My braised fish is pretty good today."
Gu Yi and Gu Er were lighting a fire at the stove. When they saw Aunt Niu come in, they greeted her obediently.
Aunt Niu saw that the two children were well-behaved and sensible, and then looked at Su Luo who was busy with work. She felt inexplicably guilty about what Nong Jiao had just said to her.
In fact, this child has a miserable life. What does he know at the age of fifteen or sixteen?
It was because her mother forced her to marry Wang Mazi that she was frightened and confused and did the wrong thing.
The child has now turned over a new leaf and knows that it is not easy to keep the child by his side.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Su Luo couldn't help but raise her hand and wave in front of her eyes: "Aunt?"
"Ah?" Aunt Niu came back to her senses: "Oh, cooking, right? Come on."
Su Luo laughed and said, "Aunt, is there something wrong? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Aunt Niu looked at her and hesitated for a while: "Harm!"
She has never been a shy person and has always been straightforward. Since Su Luo asked, she naturally couldn't help but say it.
But she also knew to avoid these children.
Niu Fang said to the two children, "I'll light the fire. You kids are disturbing us here. Go out. Your mother and I will take care of the kitchen."
Su Luo saw through that she had something to say, so she followed suit and chased them away, throwing the two brats out and closing the kitchen door.
