Su Xieqiu quickly called the two of them into the house, "Grandpa, Yuejuan, come in and warm up."
"Okay, okay." Grandpa Du agreed, and then said with a smile: "Zhenyu's wife, your uncle insisted that I come to stay for a few days, and there is nothing to do at home, so what do you think I should do here?"
"Grandpa, you won't come if there's nothing to do at home?"
Su Xieqiu smiled and said, "It's not my uncle who asked you to come this time. It's your grandson who missed you and wanted you to come and stay for a while. If you want to blame someone, blame your grandson, don't blame my uncle."
After hearing her heartwarming words, Grandpa Du's smile deepened, "You and Zhenyu are both good children."
He knew very well that his grandson was on a business trip and couldn't take care of the family at all. This was all thanks to his grandson's wife's filial piety.
Du Yuejuan said shyly behind her grandfather: "Sister-in-law, I heard from my father that you went to the city to ask for favors for my work. Thank you."
"Yuejuan, come in quickly. We are a family and we don't need to be polite." Su Xieqiu took her arm and led her into the main room.
Du Yuejuan is 17 years old this year. She is about the same height as Su Xieqiu, but thinner. She has beautiful facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes. She looks a bit like Aunt Du.
Chenchen ran over and called affectionately, "Great Grandpa."
"Hey." Grandpa Du smiled and picked up Chenchen.
Su Xieqiu said, "Chenchen, An'an, this is Aunt Yuejuan, you two should go and call someone."
"Hello, auntie." The two kids called out obediently.
"Chenchen, An An is so good." Du Yuejuan squatted down and teased An An.
Grandma Du smiled and rubbed her granddaughter's hand, "Yuejuan, are you cold?"
"Grandma, it's not cold." Du Yuejuan was raised by her grandmother and was very close to her.
Su Xieqiu smiled and said, "Grandma, Grandpa, Yuejuan, please go sit on the kang. Our fire wall hasn't been lit yet, so it's a bit cold in the living room."
There was a very strong wind last night. Although it didn't snow, the temperature dropped. It was several degrees lower than yesterday.
Su Xiaqiu planned to light up the fire wall and stove in the afternoon.
Her family cut a lot of firewood this year, and Han Zhenyu brought back a few carts of coal a few days ago.
He also bought a stove, saying that when it snows heavily in winter, he can use the stove to boil water and cook without having to use a big pot.
Grandma Du said with a smile: "Okay, listen to Zhenyu's wife, go sit on the kang, there's nothing to do anyway."
Su Xieqiu took the kettle to the room where Grandma Du lived, brought a plate of melon seeds, washed a few apples and placed them on the kang table.
The apples she picked out from the space were the smallest and ugliest, similar to those sold in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Grandma Du had eaten them yesterday, and there are still two of them on the kang cabinet.
Seeing that she brought so many more, he said distressedly: "Zhenyu's wife, I still have two here, you can put these away for Chenchen and An'an to eat."
Su Xieqiu smiled and said, "Grandma, there's more."
She handed the two pieces of cloth in her hand to Grandma Du, "Grandma, I bought these two days ago, but I don't know how to cut them. Cut them according to Yuejuan's size, and I'll use the sewing machine to make them for her to wear when she reports for duty tomorrow."
When Du Yuejuan heard that such fine fabric was for her, she quickly waved her hand and refused, "Sister-in-law, I have clothes. You can keep this fabric to make clothes."
"What you have is yours. This is my sister-in-law's gift." Su Xieqiu gestured with the two pieces of cloth on her body, nodded and smiled, "It looks good."
"Yuejuan will go to work in the city in the future. She is a grown-up girl now and needs to have a set of clothes to wear when going out for tea."
Du Yuejuan shook her head. "Sister-in-law, I really can't accept it. My brother told me that you gave me this job. How can I have the nerve to ask for your things again?"
Su Xieqiu was stunned for a moment when he heard her say that he gave her the job.
She didn't even know that Han Zhenyu had said this to her uncle and the others, and she thought that guy was quite capable.
Su Xieqiu was afraid that her grandparents would notice, so she quickly said with a smile, "Why can't we go? We are all family, so it doesn't matter who goes, right?"
"Sister-in-law, thank you." Du Yuejuan said gratefully, and then looked at her grandmother again.
Grandma Du then said, "Juan'er, accept your sister-in-law's kindness and remember her kindness in the future."
Du Yuejuan nodded quickly, "I know, grandma, I will definitely remember how kind my brother and sister-in-law have been to me."
Grandma Du smiled and said to Su Xieqiu, "Daughter-in-law Zhenyu, let Yuejuan sew it herself. She has been learning needlework from your aunt since she was a child. Her skills are better than mine. She can also operate a sewing machine. If you have anything to do, ask her to help you. This girl is very skillful."
"Oh, really?" Su Xieqiu went to buy two pieces of cloth and said happily, "Yuejuan, let's go to my room and do it."
Du Yuejuan smiled and followed her to another bedroom. As soon as she opened the door, she smelled a faint fragrance, the same as her sister-in-law's.
The room was very cozy, with a large wooden wardrobe against the inner wall and a desk next to it, covered with a floral cloth.
The things on the desk were neatly arranged, including books, stationery, pens and ink, and a can filled with wild grass and dry branches, which looked quite nice.
There were floral curtains hanging on the windows, and four quilts on the kang cabinet, two gray and two floral, as well as pillows to match the quilts.
"Sister-in-law, your room is so beautifully tidy. You are so capable." Du Yuejuan couldn't help but praise as she looked at the room.
"Yuejuan, stop praising me. Your brother complained about me a few days ago, saying that I have nothing to do all day and only do these useless things." Su Xieqiu put the table in the corner and said with a smile, "Cut on the kang. I'll get you a pair of scissors."
"Sister-in-law, I don't believe it. My brother loves you so much, he definitely won't be willing to say anything about you."
