Chapter 101 Su Xinyao's Visit
But no matter what Su Yufen thought, she was reborn with the help of Su Tang and others.
Su Tang and Lu Xiao took their parents on a boat and then a train before arriving in the northwest.
As the train door opened, a strong gust of wind rushed in, choking Su Ma and causing her to cough several times.
"Ouch, that wind!"
Su Ma quickly covered her mouth and nose, and her eyes squinted due to the wind.
Dad Su was also a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously tightened his collar and looked at the scene in front of him, which was completely different from the island.
"Dad, Mom, slow down."
Lu Xiao helped the two elders down the ladder steadily, one in each hand, while his other arm was always around Su Tang to block the crowded crowd for her.
His back was straight, giving him a sense of stability.
"This is the Northwest..."
Su Tang took a deep breath of the dry air. His nose felt slightly itchy, but his heart felt strangely calm.
She turned her head to look at Lu Xiao. His well-defined jaw revealed a calmness, letting her know that where he was, was home.
Lu Xiao had already arranged everything.
A green military jeep was waiting outside the station. It picked up the family and drove through the somewhat shabby and dusty streets of the county town all the way to the base on the outskirts of the city.
That is where Lu Xiao is now. The last time he came back, he asked someone to clean up his own yard.
The car finally stopped in front of a group of neatly arranged gray brick houses. This was the family compound.
Their new home is an independent bungalow with a small courtyard.
Pushing open the gate, the ground was compacted loess, with a few clumps of unknown weeds stubbornly sprouting in the corners.
There are three main rooms, the kitchen is built separately on one side, and there is even a small chicken shed under the eaves.
"The place is not big, so I'll ask Mom and Dad and Tangtang to live here first."
Lu Xiao carried the luggage into the house and said apologetically, "The conditions here are just like this, not comparable to the city."
"Not too small, not too small!"
Dad Su waved his hands repeatedly, his face showing fatigue after a long journey, but more of it was a longing for a new life.
"It's nice to have a yard and a house. It's much better than when we were on the island!"
"This soil looks alright. Tomorrow I'll go find some rapeseed, peppers, eggplants... I can always grow something so I can eat it myself!"
The frustrating days of living under someone else's roof on the island made Su Ma especially cherish this little world of her own.
Father Su's attention was drawn to the empty chicken shed. "Hmm, this shed is perfect! I'll go see if I can get a few chicks and raise them to lay eggs to nourish Tangtang!"
He seemed to have seen the scene of fluffy chicks pecking at food in the yard.
Lu Xiao looked at the two elders who quickly found a way to make ends meet in life, and the last bit of worry in his heart was put down.
He looked at Su Tang, who was curiously looking around the room. He walked over and naturally took her hand: "I've simply cleaned up the room and lit the kang. Come and rest for a while? You must be exhausted after sitting in the car for a few days, right?"
Su Tang was indeed tired, with sore back and waist, but he felt more relieved after everything was settled.
She shook her head and held his warm hand in return, her brows curved: "I'm not tired, let's take a look at our new home."
"It's good for my parents to live here, but it's a pity that I haven't finished my job yet."
Su Tang sighed, and Lu Xiao smiled and rubbed her head: "Maybe, soon."
Listening to Lu Xiao's words, Su Tang was a little confused.
However, Lu Xiao did not explain in so much. What he thought was that he would tell her after everything was done.
Su Tang took some time to go back to the hospital. This time she was delayed for a long time, and the hospital leaders actually had some opinions about her.
However, the dean and vice-dean took the responsibility for her.
Su Tang felt very embarrassed and asked for three more days off, thinking that he would help Su's parents settle down completely before coming back to work.
After settling down, I feel busy and fulfilled.
Su's father and mother quickly adapted to the dry climate of the northwest and quickly made the courtyard prosperous.
Su Ma got some chili, green onion and radish seeds from somewhere and carefully sowed them in the small vegetable patch that had been tilled.
Every morning and evening, you can see her hunched over, carefully watering and weeding, with a look of concentration and satisfaction on her face.
The woman who was always elegant has now adapted to life in the countryside.
And Dad Su really brought back five or six furry, tender yellow chicks.
He used bamboo strips to enclose a larger activity space in the corner of the courtyard, and every day he happily chopped vegetable leaves, mixed bran, and served these little ancestors.
Lu Xiao is very busy at work, and it is normal for him to leave early and come back late.
But as soon as he gets home, he always rolls up his sleeves and shares all the chores around the house.
He took even more meticulous care of Su Tang.
The couple finally spent three days together, and Su Tang was about to go back.
However, before leaving, Lu Xiao told Su Tang that the hospital here was expanding its enrollment and she could apply to transfer here.
Su Tang was in a very good mood. She was so happy when she thought about their family being reunited.
It was an afternoon when the sun was shining brightly and the courtyard door was open, allowing for easy lighting.
A burst of hurried footsteps came from afar and stopped at the door.
"Excuse me, is this Deputy Captain Lu's home?"
A clear, yet slightly condescending female voice sounded.
Su Tang raised his head, and Su's father and mother also stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the voice.
A young girl was standing at the door, with two long, shiny black braids tied with fashionable light green glass threads at the ends.
He was wearing a well-tailored Dacron floral shirt, neatly ironed army green trousers, and a pair of shiny black leather shoes.
She has a beautiful oval face and fair skin, which makes her stand out among the faces that have been roughened by the northwest wind and sand.
But those slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes were now filled with undisguised scrutiny and a hint of contempt.
"Tangtang, aunt, uncle-in-law!"
When he saw Su Xinyao, an instinctive sense of vigilance and resistance instantly surged into Su Tang's heart.
She subconsciously straightened her back.
Seeing the visitor dressed respectably and mentioning her son-in-law's position, Su Ma wiped her hands on her apron and greeted him with simple enthusiasm: "Yes, yes, yes, young lady, who are you?"
Su Xinyao's eyes swept over this and a big smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"I'm Su Xinyao, auntie, don't you recognize me?"
Su Xinyao was very enthusiastic in front of Su's father and mother.
She came over and grabbed Su Ma's hand: "I heard that you came to the northwest, and I asked around for news about you."
"Auntie, you've suffered."
As she spoke, Su Xinyao shed two tears, and she looked so sincere.
When Su Ma recognized her, the enthusiasm on her face faded a little, but she still maintained basic politeness.
"Why are you here too?"
There was a distinct sense of distance in Su Ma's tone, which surprised Su Tang.
