Qin Xiaoxiao decided to stay away from Su Lu from now on, and stop going up the mountain to freeload every week... He didn't need to continue the meal-sharing arrangement, so as not to cause any misunderstandings with his wife in the future.
Su Lu, who had happily returned home, was unaware that Qin Xiaoxiao had unilaterally removed him from her list of dining companions. He went back to his room, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and fell into a blissful sleep.
The next morning, Qin Xiaoxiao put all the things Su Lu had sent into her spatial storage, and then sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) thinking about how to reciprocate.
We're running out of food. There's only so much to eat these days. She doesn't lack meat, and we just gave her nutritional supplements yesterday, so she doesn't lack those either. She also has plenty of mountain produce. So all we have left are daily necessities.
Su Lu doesn't have a boyfriend yet, so it's not appropriate to give someone a wedding gift. Therefore, it's necessary to give someone something valuable but not too flashy.
After browsing through the space, Qin Xiaoxiao picked out a watch.
Wearing it on his wrist, it wouldn't be noticeable as long as it wasn't exposed. If he didn't say it was a gift from her, no one would know.
Moreover, the watch she chose wasn't very valuable; its current market price was only around 120 or 130 yuan, which was enough to cover the gift he gave her last night, and even the cost of the meal she ate with him on the mountain a few days ago.
Swallow it, that's it.
Qin Xiaoxiao took the watch with satisfaction and went to the Qin family home. She also took a stroll around the Su family's house, but didn't see Su Lu. She wasn't in a hurry and leisurely went to the Qin family home for breakfast and dinner.
After not seeing Su Lu for three days in a row, Qin Xiaoxiao was getting anxious. With New Year's Day approaching, she was supposed to go to the county town to collect her subsidy, but she still hadn't seen Su Lu. Qin Xiaoxiao started to think of a solution.
When Wan Guihua saw Qin Xiaoxiao standing smiling at her front door, she was stunned for a moment.
Why did Xiaoxiao come to her house? Is something wrong with Qin Feng?
"Xiaoxiao, come in quickly. What brings you here today?"
Qin Xiaoxiao entered the Su family's gate with a generous air. She was led into the backyard by Wan Guihua with a smile. As they walked, she said, "Aunt Wan, I'm here to see Comrade Su Lu. It's like this, it snowed a little a couple of days ago, and the ground is slippery. I have to go to the county town today, and my brother has something to do. So, I'd like Comrade Su Lu to accompany me."
"Of course, it's not just me, there are two other female comrades at the educated youth settlement too, is that alright with you?"
When Wan Guihua heard that Qin Xiaoxiao wanted her silly son to accompany her to the county town, she immediately smiled broadly and happily agreed, "Okay, okay, why not? Let Su Lu go with you."
There are three pretty young girls. Her son is so handsome, surely one of them will be interested in him? She doesn't ask for much, just one of them having feelings for her son is enough.
Of course, it would be even better if that person were Qin Xiaoxiao.
The Su family and the Qin family were already on good terms, she was friends with Ma Dahua, and her mother-in-law and Old Mrs. Qin were even best friends. With so many connections, if the two of them could get together, it would be a match made in heaven.
I just don't know if Qin Xiaoxiao will be interested in her son.
Thinking of this, Wan Guihua quickly took two steps and said, "Xiaoxiao, take your time. Go to my room and wait for me. I'll go and ask Su Lu to get ready."
Before Qin Xiaoxiao could respond, Wan Guihua ran off without looking back, moving at lightning speed.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention and looked around at the layout of the Su family's house.
The Su family's property covers a large area, and the layout of the front and back yards is similar, with three main rooms and two side rooms on each side, except that the front yard has two more side rooms than the back yard.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know which room was Wan Guihua's, so she stood in the courtyard without moving, waiting for Su Lu to come out.
Wan Guihua ran all the way to Su Lu's door, and without knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.
"You brat, still sleeping? Get up now, quick, quick!"
Without any hesitation, Wan Guihua yanked off Su Lu's quilt, instantly exposing Su Lu's fair and firm skin to the air.
Su Lu had never taken off his clothes in front of outsiders since he was twelve years old. Even his own mother, Wan Guihua, had never seen her son's body. Therefore, when she saw Su Dang's snow-white skin, she was almost dazzled.
Holy crap! Is her son really that fair-skinned?
Huh? There are six more small bumps!
Wan Guihua's eyes lit up, feeling that she was one step closer to marrying her son's wife.
Su Lu had already woken up from the cold. The moment the quilt was pulled off, he quickly grabbed a handful and successfully covered himself with it.
Su Lu looked up with a dark expression and saw that it was her own mother. No matter how angry she was, she had to endure it.
"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you pulling off my blanket so early in the morning instead of sleeping?"
Wan Guihua glared at Su Lu, "You brat, what haven't I seen before? What's wrong with taking a look?"
After saying that, Wan Guihua coughed awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.
After all, her son is an adult now, no longer the child who would come to her naked and beg for a hug.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao's here to see you, get up quickly."
After saying that, Wan Guihua quickly walked to the only box in Su Lu's room, opened the lid, and rummaged through it.
Su Lu was somewhat surprised to hear that Qin Xiaoxiao had come to see him, but when he saw his own mother rummaging through his suitcase, his face instantly darkened.
"Mom, what are you doing? This is my room, can you please..."
"No way, if he's my son, then shut up. I'm busy, I don't have time to deal with you."
Wan Guihua, taking a moment from her busy schedule, glared at Su Dang before continuing her search.
In no time, Wan Guihua pulled a white shirt and a pair of black pants out of the box.
He took it in his hand, examined it for a moment, and said with a pout, "This is the only set without any patches, and I've worn it for two years. I should have made a whole new set."
He tossed the clothes to Su Lu, saying, "Hurry up and put them on. Xiao Xiao said she wants you to go to the county town with her. Dress nicely and don't embarrass her."
Holding the clothes, Su Lu looked at Wan Guihua speechlessly, wanting to ask her if she really wanted him to wear this. Didn't his mother consider how cold it was outside?
"What are you looking at? Hurry up!"
Su Lu wanted to retort, but then he remembered that this was his own mother, and if he got angry, it would still be his fault in the end, so he lowered his head and obediently put on his clothes.
The bottom is easy to deal with; the pants are baggy, and you can't tell if he's wearing cotton pants underneath. But he can't just wear a white shirt on top, can he?
"Mom, what should I wear outside?"
Wan Guihua was taken aback. "What do you need to wear? This is fine, isn't it?"
Su Lu's lips twitched. "Mom, don't you have any idea how cold it is outside?"
I can't take it anymore; if I keep putting up with it, he'll explode.
Wan Guihua suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Su Lu's white shirt with some regret.
My son looks so good in his white shirt. It's a pity that Xiaoxiao couldn't see it.
Sigh, why isn't it summer now? Spring or autumn would be fine too. In the dead of winter, a white shirt won't stand out.
Finally, at Wan Guihua's insistence, Su Lu put on a white shirt with a blue cotton-padded jacket over it.
Amidst Wan Guihua's disgusted expression, Su Lu stepped out of the room and immediately saw Qin Xiaoxiao standing gracefully with a smile on her lips.
