Chapter 122 Home 2
"This is too expensive! You're such a spendthrift, kid." Mother Su could tell at a glance that the brooch was quite heavy and unique. It must have cost about a hundred yuan.
Mother Su looked at Hechuan in surprise. Didn't she say her daughter was found in the countryside? When did farmers become so rich these days?
"Auntie, I'm glad you like it. Su Tao and I picked it out specially for you." He Chuan saw through it and with his mother-in-law in his grasp, all problems were solved smoothly.
"I like it, thank you. You guys sit down and have some fruit. Old Su, why don't you finish cooking? I still want to chat with our Taotao." After thanking He Chuan, Su's mother turned around and scolded Su's father.
"Oh, then I'll make dinner." Although he wanted to stay and talk to his precious daughter, he had to get up and make dinner when he thought about how Su Tao must have not eaten well on the way back from such a long car ride. Anyway, Su Tao would not stay this time, and there would be plenty of time to talk in the future.
"Uncle, let me help you." He Chuan said, and seeing that Su's father had no objection, he quickly followed.
Su's mother peeled an orange and handed it to the little girl. She then dug out some biscuits from the cupboard and told the little girl to help herself. Then she sat down, turned around, and shook Su Tao's hand and said, "How's it been going in the countryside? You must have suffered a lot. You never tell me when I call you, only good news and not bad news."
"Mom, I really didn't suffer. When I first started doing farm work, He Chuan helped me with all the work, so I wasn't tired at all. Later, your daughter was very capable and became the village accountant. I wrote and took notes in the office every day, regardless of the wind or the sun. It wasn't hard at all." Su Tao said with a smile.
Su's mother initially didn't believe it. How could anyone go to the countryside without suffering hardships? Look at Aunt Wang's daughter next door. After a few years in the countryside, she came back as thin as a black monkey. And Aunt Li's nephew came back to visit his family a while ago, crying and crying, and just begging Aunt Li to find a way to use her connections to transfer him back.
But now that she saw Su Tao, she believed it. Her daughter had truly endured no hardship. Her little hands felt smooth and tender in hers, without a scratchy scratch, unlike those she'd used to do farm work. And her face was so clean and tender, even more delicate than a freshly peeled egg, that a gentle pinch would almost ooze water. She seemed more than a head taller than him, and somehow she felt even better cared for than when she was at home, even more lively and charming.
Before leaving home, her face still held a hint of childishness, but now, like a bud in full bloom, she has begun to blossom with her unique beauty. Initially, they had strongly opposed her going to the countryside, fearing she wouldn't be able to endure the hardships. Now, it seems she was right to go. Not only has she returned prettier, but she's also become more mature and sensible, as if she had grown up overnight.
"Is He Chuan good to you? Why did you get engaged so suddenly? You didn't even tell us in advance." Mother Su said with some resentment.
They didn't know about He Chuan before, and suddenly told them that she had been admitted to university and was coming back, and was engaged. No wonder Su's father found it difficult to accept it at first.
Su Tao is the apple of Su's father's eye. Marrying Su Tao is like digging out his eyes. He digs them out without any psychological preparation.
"I'm just afraid that you will be angry and refuse to accept it. Dad was so angry about Shen Ziqian's incident that he became sick. You see, he has never met He Chuan and doesn't know him. What if he misunderstands and gets angry and becomes sick again? That's why I don't want to talk about it until I bring him back to you." Su Tao lowered his chin slightly, glanced up, and muttered in a guilty manner.
"You're the only one with too many little thoughts," Su Ma nodded indulgently at Su Tao's head, then paused. "However, I think this He Chuan is not bad, and he looks energetic. He's countless times better than that Laozi Shen Ziqian. But is he really a farmer from the countryside? I think the gifts he brought today cost a lot. Don't spend money lavishly on others. They don't earn their money easily. Since you're engaged, you should live a good life. There will be plenty of places to spend money in the future."
