Now, Siyuan Restaurant has opened in the city, and the electronics store business is also progressing at the same time.
Gu Yanbai became busier day by day, and he would not be seen for ten days or half a month.
All the household chores fell on Su Nianxue's shoulders, but fortunately, with Gu Yanliu's help, things became much easier.
The fruit trees by the fishpond are also in bloom, and they will bear fruit this year.
Gu Yansong and his wife both smiled as they watched the turtles swimming in the pond.
After two years of careful exploration, the couple has gained some experience in aquaculture.
The fishpond did indeed suffer some losses in its first year.
But they started making a profit in the second year, though not much, but they were satisfied.
Now in its third year, the two are full of confidence looking at the plump turtles in the pond.
This year will definitely be a big year for me!
The couple is very busy every day now.
They had to manage the tobacco in the fields and also look after the fishponds; they wished they could be in two places at once.
Of course, they have long since paid off their debts.
Seeing that they were making money, the villagers also started to get their hands on some ideas.
As a result, a wave of pond-digging quickly swept through the village.
Zaozao is a sensible girl; at such a young age, she can already help with many chores around the house.
As soon as school was over, I would go straight home, finish my homework first, and then help my great-grandfather feed the pigs and chickens.
The little girl is only as tall as the stove, but she can already stand on a stool and skillfully cook.
After a busy day, Gu Yansong and his wife come home to a hot meal.
The two felt very close and repeatedly remarked that this girl had probably come to repay a debt of gratitude!
There was a meddlesome old woman in the village who once made fun of Zaozao's background in public.
They said she was adopted and not Taozi's biological daughter.
They even asked her if she would go back to find her biological parents when she grows up.
But the little girl always said very seriously that she only has one father and one mother.
She is her mother's biological child, but she was born under a jujube tree, so she was named Zaozao (meaning "jujube").
On the contrary, Gu Yansong and his wife took the matter very calmly.
The child came into their lives when he was still a baby.
Watching her grow from a swaddled baby to a toddler, then to a babbling babbler, little by little, until she's this big now.
Although they have been very tired over the years, they have been very happy.
The couple were grateful for her companionship over the years. Although she was not their biological child, they had raised her for so many years and had long regarded her as their own flesh and blood.
Naturally, we respect her choice and don't want to put her in a difficult position.
It depends on Zaozao's own wishes!
When she grows up, if she wants to go back to find her biological parents, they will definitely not stop her.
That evening, Gu Yanbai put his arm around her waist and said, "Let's move to the city!"
"Going to the city? Isn't that too sudden?"
"It's not sudden. I've been thinking about this for a while now. Look, our family business has already expanded into the city."
"I'll be going there quite often in the future, and each time I'll be gone for a long time. Don't you... miss me?" His tone was somewhat teasing.
...
"What...is there to think about?"
I feel so comfortable being home alone.
"This whole big bed is mine. I can sleep however I want tonight." Her breathing quickened, and her body became even more supple.
She even moved a little closer to him.
"Is that so?" Gu Yanbai's smile deepened, and he tightened his grip. He really was just saying one thing and meaning another.
"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to sleep or not?" Su Nianxue glared at her with her almond-shaped eyes.
"Of course I need to...sleep!"
Soon, the room was filled with a lively atmosphere.
A long, long time later.
Once the room had quieted down again, Gu Yanbai brought up the matter once more.
“Let’s move to the city together! I miss you and the children. I always feel empty without you by my side.”
"Alright, since you've said so, then I'll come and keep you company with the kids!" He's been running around these past few days and has really been exhausted; he's lost a lot of weight.
Moving to the city would save a lot of trouble.
Moreover, being together as a family provides mutual support.
"Okay, then I'll ask someone to find a house right away." Gu Yanbai lightly kissed her rosy lips, feeling completely pleased.
"Are you that happy?"
If we don't go, wouldn't you be more comfortable being out there alone?
"Tsk tsk, far from the emperor's reach, right? It's convenient to do whatever you want, isn't it?" Su Nianxue's lips curved into a smile, and she winked at him mischievously, teasingly.
"What else can I do?"
Back then, I traveled to such a far place, but I didn't do anything outrageous.
We're only in the provincial capital now, how far could it be?
Besides, my life is like that of a kite.
No matter how high I fly, the string is always in your hand! No matter how far I fly, you can just pull me back, right?
He was absolutely captivated by her energetic demeanor, and before he could resist, he kissed her lips again.
"That's right, if it weren't for me holding you back, you'd be drifting off somewhere!" Su Nianxue showed no intention of being modest.
"Yes, you deserve the most credit in our family." The smile in his dark eyes could not be hidden.
………
The next day, they told their families about it.
Grandpa Gu sighed softly, "Go ahead! It's good for the family to be together and look after each other."
The child has grown up, his wings have hardened, it's time for him to fly away!
He shouldn't be the reason to keep him tied down, even though he's very reluctant to part with him!
Gu Yansong and his wife agreed, saying, "You go ahead, we'll take care of Grandpa."
However, Gu Yanliu said somewhat dejectedly, "Sister-in-law, now that you're gone, what am I going to do?"
She didn't want to live with the old man; she'd be driven crazy by his nagging.
The old man kept urging her to get married, and she was so tired of hearing it.
She must have racked her brains trying to come up with excuses to avoid blind dates.
If we live together every day from now on, she won't have anywhere to hide!
Su Nianxue knew her worries and gently patted the back of her hand, "Come with us to the provincial capital!"
"But what can I do there?" Gu Yanliu naturally wanted to stay with them.
She has lived with the couple all these years, and they have two children whom she watched being born and growing up.
She couldn't bear to part with them.
“When you go to the provincial capital, just continue doing what you used to do!” Gu Yanbai said with a smile.
"Brother, will this work?" She was tempted, but also a little worried.
"Have you forgotten what your brother does? Does he think he can leave you without work?"
"Okay, I'll go with you." Gu Yanliu clenched her fist, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind.
She had thought it through; she knew she couldn't stay at home any longer.
It's good to go to the city with them.
With such a large area, and being able-bodied, she'll surely find a way to survive and won't let her brother support her for nothing.
