When Grandma Wang heard Su Wan say that she had someone who was a good match for Wu Gang, she excitedly pulled Su Wan toward her home.
"Xiao Su, it's too cold outside. You're still pregnant, don't catch a cold. Let's go home and sit inside and talk slowly."
The stove in Grandma Wang's house is dual-purpose. It is connected to an iron pipe to discharge the smoke outside. The stove can not only be used for cooking but also for heating, killing two birds with one stone.
In the summer, we moved the stove to the kitchen. When the weather came, Grandma Wang put the stove in the living room.
There is a thick curtain hanging on the door to keep you warm. Once you enter the room, it feels warm and comfortable.
The prince was a quiet old man, but he was very kind. It was just that he had a bad leg and seldom went out.
When Su Wan came in, 놛 was reading a newspaper. Seeing Su Wan coming, 놛 hurriedly greeted her with a smile.
"Xiao Su is here, come sit down and warm yourself up."
"Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang, your home is so warm." Su Wan couldn't help but complimented.
"There's nothing we can do. We are old and can't resist freezing like you young people."
Grandma Wang smiled and poured a cup of hot water, adding some brown sugar to it. She stirred it with a spoon and placed it in front of Su Wan.
"Have a couple of sips to warm yourself up."
Su Wan took it and drank two sips. Seeing that Grandma Wang was staring at her, she smiled.
"Grandma Wang, the person you are talking about is not someone else, but your in-laws' sister-in-law, who is also your sister-in-law."
"Ah? Your sister-in-law? Then your man's brother..."
"He passed away two years ago, also due to illness."
"Then...then, how old is your sister-in-law now?"
"She seems to be under 30 years old. Anyway, she is not too old. She has three children, two boys and a girl. The oldest is seven years old now, and the youngest is just over two years old. It is a posthumous child. When her husband passed away, the child was still in her belly."
Grandma Wang uttered an "oh" after hearing this and sat there thinking for a while.
"It's a heavy burden indeed, but I've considered it this way. Wu Gang is not young anymore, and it's probably difficult for him to have his own child in this lifetime. Of course, it would be best if he could have a child of his own.
If not, there is no need to force it. These children can be raised as if they were your own, and you will have both sons and daughters in the future.
As long as you treat the children well, I believe they will not abandon you when you are old. "
"Grandma Wang, I didn't expect you to be so open-minded. It's really unexpected that you would think this way. I thought you would disagree after hearing this."
"I have lived in this world for more than a decade and have seen everything. In fact, life is just like this. It doesn't matter whether the child is your own or not. What matters is whether the child is filial or not.
If you meet someone who is unfilial, even if they are your own children, so what? You can’t do anything about it, so it all depends on your own luck.”
Su Wan nodded, and suddenly remembered that there was one question that she hadn't explained clearly, so she quickly said to Grandma Wang:
"By the way, Grandma Wang, there is one more thing I need to tell you. If Brother Wang and Sister-in-law get together, it would be best if they could live in our Shiqiao Village. I wonder if you would be interested?"
"So you want Wu Gang to come to your house, not your sister-in-law to remarry with her children?"
Su Wan nodded and said, "It's best this way, because my parents-in-law value those three children very much, and they will definitely not want my sister-in-law to marry with three children.
But if I leave three children behind, my parents-in-law will be getting older and older, and they will not have the energy or ability to give us a good future.
Although the children still have uncles and aunts, you also know your situation. When a man is in the army, it is difficult for him to come back once, not to mention that he has to take care of his own children and can't take care of us at all."
After listening to this, Grandma Wang held her chin and thought for a while, "It's hard to say, I have to ask Wu Gang before I can tell you.
You know, unless it is absolutely necessary, men will definitely not be willing to come to your house..."
"Grandma Wang, I know this, but don't worry too much. This is what I've considered. If you two are successful, I plan to bring my parents-in-law here."
Su Wan stretched out her hand and touched her belly as she spoke.
Grandma Wang immediately understood, "Do you want your parents-in-law to take care of your child?"
"Well, after I have the baby, I want to find a job. After all, there will be several more people in the family, and I plan to take care of my parents-in-law as well. The allowance I get from my military service is definitely not enough, so I have to work hard to earn money to support the family."
Grandma Wang's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
Men visit the elderly because they are afraid that they will not be able to get along with them. If there are no elderly people at home, then such a visit seems acceptable.
"Okay, that's all for now. Next time Wu Gang comes over, I'll talk to you about it. If it works out, we'll have done a good deed."
"Okay, now that the weather is clear, I'll go back and talk to my sister-in-law. If both of us are interested, we can arrange a time for us to meet."
Su Wan said this and stood up, ready to go back.
Grandma Wang hurriedly pulled her.
"Don't worry, I'll get you some food. Wu Gang brought it to you today."
"No, Grandma Wang, we have some food at home, you should stay and enjoy it slowly."
Grandma Wang refused and insisted on giving Su Wan a cabbage, some potatoes and carrots.
“These are all grown by Wu Gang himself, take them home and try them.
"It's a good idea to grow vegetables. Look at how big these vegetables are growing."
Su Wan really didn't want them. No matter how good these dishes were, they couldn't compare to the vegetables in her space.
But Grandma Wang was so enthusiastic that she couldn't refuse her kindness, so she had to accept it with a smile.
Su Wan originally thought that once the snow melted, the road would be dry in two or three days, but she didn't expect that the snow would fall without end.
It kept raining and stopping, stopping and rising, and it rained for two or three days before stopping.
The temperature dropped several degrees due to the snowfall. It was minus five or six degrees Celsius and ice was everywhere.
Su Wan sighed inwardly. It seemed that she would have to wait for ten days or half a month before she could return to Shiqiao Village.
