In the early summer weather, the couple rode their bicycles out of Hongxi Village and headed towards Hongwan Village.
They entered the village quickly.
"Nianxue is back!" The village aunties greeted her warmly, while also glancing at Gu Yanbai.
Even if we disregard the fact that the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, they are quite a good match in terms of appearance.
That brat has a bad temper; it's a pity that Nianxue is such a good girl.
"Aunt Fang, we're heading back now. You go ahead with your work." Su Nianxue waved to her, and her bicycle sped past.
They soon arrived at the Su family's house.
Knowing they were coming today, the whole family waited inside.
When Wang Lanhua saw the bicycle packed full of things, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.
"Oh my, Xiao Xueyanbai, you're finally back."
Your dad has looked towards the gate at least ten times already. If you don't come back soon, he'll probably have to go out of the village to meet you.
Wang Lanhua's smile was exceptionally sweet today, and her words were pleasant to hear, so Su Nianxue couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
Is there some good news?
The two stood together at the door and called out, "Mom and Dad!"
Su Jianguo glanced at Su Nianxue. She looked tired, but her complexion was very rosy, so she seemed to be doing well.
He nodded to himself and instructed Wang Lanhua, "Come in! Xiaolong's mother, quickly go and pour some water."
Wang Lanhua responded and quickly brought out two glasses of water from the kitchen.
Gu Yanbai took everything off the bicycle and carried it into the house.
Su Nianxue also piled the things she was holding onto the table.
The two children's eyes lit up when they saw the pile of things on the table, and they reached out to take them.
Wang Lanhua glanced at the things on the table, her smile growing even sweeter.
"You guys just came, why did you bring so much stuff?"
Gu Yanbai replied, "We young people don't know how to behave properly."
If there's anything I haven't done well enough, please let me know so I can make amends.
Su Nianxue wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Gu Yanbai seemed a little more nervous today.
Wang Lanhua quickly said, "That's enough, that's enough."
She deftly unwrapped the mesh bag, took out a package of pastries, opened it, and handed it to the two children.
"Come on, Da Long and Xiao Long, have some pastries to tide you over!"
How old are you? Don't you know how to greet people?
"Hurry up and call her 'Big Sister' and 'Big Brother-in-law'!"
Upon seeing the pastries, the two children's previous estrangement from Su Nianxue disappeared, and they quickly called out, "Big Sister Brother-in-law."
Su Nianxue nodded in agreement, but she didn't see Su Jiaojiao today.
Su Nianxue took a sip of water and asked, "Why haven't I seen Jiaojiao today?"
Has he changed his ways and gone to work in the fields?
However, she quickly shook her head, judging by Su Jiaojiao's spoiled young lady attitude.
When everyone goes to work in the fields together, she pretends to have a stomachache or headache to avoid labor.
How could she possibly go to the fields alone when the whole family was resting?
If that day ever comes, it must be because Su Jiaojiao has gone mad.
Sure enough, after comforting the two children, Wang Lanhua sat down next to Su Jianguo.
“Our Jiaojiao found a boyfriend, and he’s from town! He just asked her out.”
She had a smug look on her face and emphasized the word "town".
Su Nianxue seemed oblivious to the smugness on her face. "Yes, it's fine."
Su Jianguo was not a talkative person to begin with. Gu Yanbai was not familiar with them, and since they were from the Yue family, he was a bit more reserved and not as open as he was in public.
So, it was Wang Lanhua and Su Nianxue who were doing the talking.
Su Jianguo glanced at the glass clock on the wall; it was almost eleven o'clock. He called out to Wang Lanhua, "Xiaolong's mother, go cook!"
Wang Lanfang glanced at the clock subconsciously, "Okay, I'll go cook, you guys chat."
As he spoke, he carried all the meat on the table to the kitchen.
Su Nianxue also stood up, "I'll go with you!"
Now, only Gu Yanbai and Su Jianguo remained in the main room.
The two children had already taken the pastries and were showing them off all over the village.
Su Jianguo was somewhat intimidated by his reputation.
But after thinking about it, he realized that his son-in-law was still his son-in-law, and as his father-in-law, it was only right for him to give him a few words of advice.
He cleared his throat. "Yanbai, you're married now. Go to town less often and spend more time in the fields when you have free time."
The land is the most fertile ground for human beings; the more you invest in it, the more grain it produces.
My daughter is very hardworking. As long as you two work hard, you won't have to worry about not having a good life in the future.
Speaking of this, Su Jianguo was quite proud of himself; when it came to farming skills, he was considered one of the best in the village.
However, he was also a little worried. This brat had been doing this for so many years, how could he be changed overnight?
It's okay now that there are only two people in the family, but what will we do to support a child in the future?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but resent Wang Lanhua again.
If she hadn't lent out all the family's money, why would he have married his daughter to someone like that?
Gu Yanbai was exceptionally respectful and humble today, solemnly saying, "Dad, don't worry, I won't let Nianxue suffer."
Although Su Jianguo didn't really believe him, he was still quite satisfied with his attitude.
He couldn't help but say a few more words, "That's good, that's good. You're already married, and it won't be long before you have to raise a child."
We men have to support our families, raise our children, and support our wives. We can't keep living such aimless lives.
If you have any questions about farming in the future, just come to me. I can't help with other things, but I'm quite good at farming.
"Thank you, Dad!" Gu Yanbai's attitude remained very respectful.
Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, Su Jianguo roughly understood what was going on.
It seems the young couple is living a harmonious life.
To be fair, his daughter is quite capable. She's only been married for a few days, but she's already got this rascal completely under her thumb.
Now let's talk about the kitchen.
Wang Lanhua was in charge of cutting the meat, while Su Nianxue stir-fried it in the pot.
Wang Lanhua spoke first, "Nianxue, your Yanbai doesn't have a formal job either."
Unlike our Jiaojiao, that young man is a skilled tailor. As long as he sits at home, people come to him asking him to make clothes.
I'm not worried about her.
You're the one! How are you going to live from now on?
I'm so worried about you!
Although Wang Lanhua said those words, her eyes were full of smugness, and her gaze towards her contained a hint of disdain and pity.
Su Nianxue continued with her hands, a half-smile on her face, and said, "Isn't it all thanks to you that I was able to marry Gu Yanbai?"
Besides, I only married him to save my dad. He's a proud man, and he wouldn't just stand by and watch me go hungry.
I've already made plans. If things get really tough in the future, I'll bring my whole family to stay at my place for a few days.
My dad probably won't kick me out.
Wang Lanhua paused, then suddenly realized that what she said made a lot of sense.
The mere thought of Su Nianxue bringing her whole family of children to her house to freeload made her feel terrible!
