"Today is indeed a good day!" After Tang's mother was surprised, she slapped her thigh vigorously. She was so happy! Not only did the young daughter-in-law of their Tang family do well, but the children she gave birth to also did well!
"We have to celebrate today! I'm going to cook for you right now! We'll make braised pork, fried meatballs, eggs, fish, and a whole table full of them! We'll have enough for everyone to eat."
Tang's mother rubbed her hands and walked towards the kitchen excitedly, muttering to herself.
The happiest person is Yuan Yi!
In the past few days, he has witnessed Tang's mother's cooking skills with his own eyes, and finally understood why Lan Guoer had so many delicious dishes in her space, but ate the home-cooked meals made by Tang's mother every day. The aroma of the food has the taste of home!
Especially the fried meatballs made by Tang's mother, which are crispy but not hard, oily but not greasy, and chewy in the mouth. One bite leaves an endless aftertaste... They are so delicious that he wants to call Tang's mother mom!
The fried meatballs made by Tang's mother were also Lan Guoer's favorite! She washed her hands and went to the kitchen to help.
Qinghe had already washed the vegetables. Although she was busy in the kitchen just now, she heard everything that happened in the yard clearly.
"I've always said that our three children are different from those of other children! Look, I'm right, right?"
Qinghe handed the dish to Tang's mother, muttering to herself, "From now on, we have to take good care of the children! Such good children, we can't be careless in taking care of them!"
Tang's mother nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes! Aunt Qing, you are right!" Tang's mother had already made up her mind to stay with her grandson all the time.
Lan Guoer listened to the conversation between the two, pursed her lips and shook her head! She finally understood what the "generation gap" people in her previous life meant.
"Oh right! Guo'er, why did I hear your aunt say today that someone introduced Commander-in-Chief Su to a girl?" Tang's mother recalled her conversation with Su Guoyu and asked casually, "What does your father mean? Does he want to find another one?"
Lan Guoer handed the peeled garlic cloves to Tang's mother, thinking about Su Guosheng's reaction when Aunt Hua and Aunt Liu went to their house to propose marriage, and replied,
"Dad said he doesn't want to look for one. But I think he's not even fifty yet, and he has so much time ahead of him. It would be too lonely for him to be alone all the time. If he meets the right person, I'll support him getting married again."
Tang's mother nodded in agreement. Her eyes turned and she suddenly thought of someone! She nudged Lan Guo'er with her elbow and asked tentatively,
"Guo'er, what do you think of your Aunt Han?"
Lan Guoer and Tang's mother exchanged a glance and instantly understood what Tang's mother meant! Her mother-in-law was trying to bring her father and Aunt Han together!
Lan Guoer naturally had no objection to Han Wenying, but if she were to become her father's wife, Lan Guoer couldn't help but think about it.
Su Guosheng had no material needs, no shortage of people to clean and care for his family, and no shortage of children to support him in his old age. If he remarried, it would not only be to find someone to accompany him, but more importantly, to find spiritual comfort.
The person he wants to spend the rest of his life with should be someone who can share his happiness and worries, and someone who can make him feel warm and comforted.
Han Wenying is knowledgeable and educated, has skills and a stable job, but as a martyr's family member, she has no children and is all alone. Her needs are somewhat similar to Su Guosheng's.
If the two of them lived together... Lan Guoer thought about it, and suddenly felt that it seemed not impossible.
"I get along very well with Aunt Han, but I don't know what my father thinks. If the two of them can get along, I would be very happy for them," she replied.
"It's fine as long as you have this attitude!" Tang's mother's eyes lit up. She was waiting for Lan Guoer to say this.
Han Wenying lived not far from Jinyuan and often visited there when she had free time. Tang's mother and she were both straightforward and very compatible. After a while, Tang's mother started to treat her like one of her own, and the two of them got along like sisters.
Although Su Guosheng is Lan Guoer's father and a high-ranking official, after getting along with him for a long time, Tang's mother naturally treated him as one of her own.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she had talked to Old Man Tang more than once about how she felt it was heartbreaking that Su Guosheng was living alone at such a young age without anyone around him who understood him.
She had always wanted to bring Su's father and Han Wenying together, but she could never find the right opportunity.
Tang's mother had always been very clear-headed. She knew very well that as a mother-in-law, it was not a good thing for her to interfere in the affairs of her daughter-in-law's family. However, if she could successfully facilitate this matter, it would be a good thing for her family! She didn't care what outsiders thought!
Su Guoyu was Su Guosheng's younger sister, and Tang's mother had already sounded out her opinion. She was about the same age as Han Wenying, and because of Lan Guoer, they got along well, so she naturally had no problem with Han Wenying.
Today, after learning about Lan Guoer's attitude as a daughter, Tang's mother felt that it was time for her to take action!
With her and Su Guoyu around, if Su Guosheng and Han Wenying showed any sign of rebellion, they could ignite the fire between them.
For this purpose, Tang's mother specially fried some more meatballs, thinking that tomorrow was the weekend and Su Guoyu should be resting at home, so she could send some to Su Guoyu and discuss the matchmaking strategy with her.
As expected, all the adults and children in Jinyuan ate too much at lunch.
After dinner, the whole family went out for a walk in the backyard with their bulging bellies.
"This is a good life!" Old Man Tang sighed, puffing on his pipe.
"Back in the day, when I was in the village, I wouldn't be so eager to eat. I'd even come out to eat! I was so eager to get into bed that I could gain as much weight as possible, afraid of wasting that little bit of food."
"Grandpa!" Xiao Nuan shook Old Man Tang's arm, looking up with curiosity, "Where is the village? Is it fun there?"
Xiao Ling and Xiao Lie also looked over here when they heard it. They were also curious about this question.
"Oh! Grandpa's darling granddaughter!" Old Man Tang saw his little granddaughter running towards him and picked her up.
"This village is our hometown. It's also where Grandpa, Grandma, and your father were born. As for whether it's fun or not, Grandpa doesn't know how to tell. When you grow up, Grandpa will take you back to see it for yourselves, okay?"
"Okay!" the three children said in unison.
Old Man Tang stroked the heads of his two grandsons, put Xiao Nuan down, and looked ahead. His gaze seemed to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers, and he saw the small mountain village where he was born and raised, the Tang family's yard, and the other children and grandchildren of the Tang family.
Lan Guoer glanced at her father-in-law, then at her mother-in-law, "Dad, Mom! This Spring Festival, let's take the children back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year. They haven't been back since they were born."
