Chapter 143 Chapter 143 “That’s not quite…
"Isn't that nice?"
Chen was applying osmanthus ointment on her body. Su Li had made this ointment herself two years ago. She said applying it on the body could make the skin more delicate. Chen was skeptical at first, but after applying it for a month, her skin really got better. So Chen has been applying it every day for the past two years.
Father Su, who was standing by, saw her applying this and immediately shifted his attention. He asked curiously,
"What are you applying?"
"Ointment, smell it, it smells so good." Chen stretched out her arms in front of Su's father.
Looking at the arm so close, Father Su lowered his head and sniffed it. "It's really fragrant, it's the scent of osmanthus."
"Give me some too," Father Su said as he reached out and dug out nearly a fifth of the bottle. Chen looked at him with great distress, "Give me less. You've already taken it all."
Father Su glanced at the bottle and said with a smile, "There are still so many."
The two of them bickered back and forth, completely eliminating the strangeness that had been brought about by the past few years.
In the past few years, both of them have changed a lot.
After several years of training on the battlefield, Father Su was like a sharpened sword, with a bit more sharpness in his eyes. Unlike before, although he also trained in the garrison every day, he looked no different from other farmers.
As for Chen, the change was even greater. Not only her temperament, but also her speech and manners were more generous and decent. She was completely different from the peasant woman who was always covered in mud. No one dared to say that this was the same person.
Under the candlelight, Chen looked at Su's father silently, and Su's father also looked at Chen silently, and there was unbreakable affection in their eyes.
It's late at night and everything is unsaid.
The next day, when everyone was still asleep, the two brothers Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe got up early in the morning. This was the most comfortable sleep they had had in all those years. The last time was a few years ago when they were at home.
After getting up, the two did nothing but practice a set of boxing in the yard, then took a broom and started sweeping the yard and chopping wood. Awen and Awu, who had gotten up early in the morning and were about to work, were frightened and quickly stepped forward to stop them, "Two young masters, let us do this kind of thing."
"yes."
"Let's do it."
Awen and Awu hurried over to take the broom and hatchet, but Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe said indifferently, "It's okay, this is not tiring." After that, they went back to their own work, leaving the two at a loss.
As soon as Su Li got up, she saw Awen and Awu looking at her with sad faces. Su Li looked over and found that her two brothers had actually taken away the work that was originally theirs. She felt funny in her heart, but didn't say anything.
Su Li walked up to the two and said, "It's okay. Have you eaten? Go eat first."
Then he said to Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe, "Second brother, third brother, why are you up so early?"
Su Qingshan saw Su Li coming over, stopped what he was doing, and said with a smile, "Hey, can't you sleep? Fifth sister, why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Su Li looked at the red sun in the sky with some helplessness, and her expression seemed to say that it was already late.
Su Qinghe, who was standing next to him, smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, second brother and third brother, why didn't you change your clothes?" Su Li suddenly said. She said that she always felt something was weird. It turned out that the two of them were still wearing the old coats that she had made for them at home.
"Isn't this work? I'm afraid those nice clothes will get dirty." Su Qingshan thought of the new clothes his mother gave them last night. They were all made of excellent materials, so good that they were reluctant to wear them as soon as they saw them.
After hearing what her second brother Su Qingshan said, Su Li didn't know what to say. Everyone in their family had a common characteristic, which was that they were very easy to satisfy, just like her grandparents and her mother. Over the years, if Su Li hadn't mentioned it and asked them to make new clothes for them, they would never have done it. They always said that enough was enough to wear and there was no need to make too much to waste. Anyway, except for the fourth sister Su Tao, everyone else in the Su family had a mentality of being content with what they had.
Su Li opened her mouth to say something, but at that moment Chen came out and asked them to go eat.
It turned out that Chen got up earlier than them. She went to the kitchen early in the morning to cook porridge and soup. She was very busy.
At this time, Mrs. Wu and Old Man Su also got up, and Lian Gu and Su Xun also followed Su Hong to the front yard.
For a moment, the yard became completely bustling. However, today was different from the previous bustles. Today, because of the return of Su's father and Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe, everyone had smiles on their faces, and even the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.
During meals,
"Eat more, you've become too thin." Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Chen kept picking up buns for Su's father and Su Qingshan with concern.
"Okay milk, that's enough, I can't eat anymore."
Here, Father Su also picked up some food for Chen to eat. Chen felt a little embarrassed in front of so many people.
"What are you picking for me? Just eat it yourself," said Chen.
Upon hearing this, Father Su picked up a soup dumpling and said, "Eat it right away."
After saying that, he opened his mouth and took a bite. The boiling hot juice flowed out from the broken hole. The moment Father Su felt the heat, his mind was occupied by the delicious soup. Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe beside him even exclaimed, "Why is there soup in this bun?"
“It’s so delicious.”
The food was so delicious that the two of them almost cried. You know, the food in the military camp was so bad. In those years, whenever they ate, they would think of the meals made by their fifth sister Su Li, and thought that if they could come back alive, they would eat enough at once. Now that they really came back alive, and could eat such delicious buns, they felt so satisfied. They ate one soup dumpling at a time and ate it happily.
Fortunately, the weather is not too hot now and the soup dumplings cool down quickly, so they are not burned.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you." Mrs. Chen couldn't help but speak when she saw her son eating voraciously.
But Mrs. Wu said, "If they like to eat, let them eat."
She looked at her son and grandson with a loving look on her face. In the past few years, she prayed to the Buddha every day to bless her son and grandson to return safely. Now her son and grandson were sitting in front of her and she felt that she could never see enough of them. No matter what they looked like, she was happy in her heart as long as they were healthy.
Old Man Su didn't say anything, but his expression was the same. He was not as emotional as Mrs. Wu, but he still cared about Father Su and his two grandsons. As a soldier who had been on the battlefield, he knew that those years in the north were not as easy as his son and grandson said. There must have been many hardships during that time. He also knew that they mentioned it casually because they were afraid that they would worry. Because of this, he was even more worried that they would only report good news and not bad news. Fortunately, after his observation last night and this morning, they should be fine and have not suffered any serious injuries.
"Yes, Mom, we finally get to eat such delicious buns!" Su Qingshan ate another one and said vaguely.
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen felt heartbroken instantly. Thinking of the hard life her sons had lived over the years, she stopped talking and silently put the buns in front of them.
"I have more here." Su Li was afraid that her two brothers would not have enough to eat, so she passed the food in front of her to them. Su Tao also followed suit, fearing that Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe would not have enough to eat.
For a period of time afterwards, Chen and Su Li put any delicious food in front of Su's father and the other two, for fear that they were not full. Not only that, Chen and Wu also stewed tonic medicine for them every day. After a while, the three of them had rosy complexions, and they could not sleep all night long and had to get up to practice boxing, so that the three of them had to hide outside when they saw the tonic.
As soon as he went out, he happened to run into the Wang family father and son who came to visit. This time, not only because they heard that Su's father and the other two had returned, they also came to discuss the wedding date.
"Brother Wang, long time no see."
"Brother Su, long time no see!"
"Uncle Wang..."
"Uncle Su..."
After they greeted each other, Father Su warmly welcomed them into the house. To be honest, when Father Su first heard about his eldest daughter and Wang Ergou, he couldn't believe it and thought Chen was joking with him. After all, the two didn't look like they would be together. However, after confirming that this was true, he quickly accepted Wang Ergou as his son-in-law and called him a virtuous son-in-law.
The same went for Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe. When they first heard the news, they couldn't believe it, but they accepted it very quickly. The reason was simple: the two families had been friends for so many years, and he was really willing to help when encountering any problems. He was a real man, so the two of them quickly accepted him as their brother-in-law.
So everyone was very happy when they met this time, not only because they hadn't seen each other for many years, but also because they were going to be in-laws.
Only Chen was a little emotional after hearing that the wedding was set for half a month.
"Isn't it too rushed to set the wedding date for half a month from now?" Chen said as she helped her husband undress in the evening.
"Didn't you say everything is ready?" Father Su had been drinking and was not very clear-headed, with his eyes half closed.
"It's prepared, but..." Chen didn't know why she felt reluctant. She didn't want her daughter to get married, nor did she want her daughter to leave her.
"But what?" Father Su held Chen's hand in his backhand and asked in confusion.
Chen sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. She didn't know why, but she felt a sense of loss in her heart.
Father Su could only comfort her when he saw this, "Are you worried that Daya will be bullied?"
Chen shook her head. She knew the father and son of the Wang family. They were not the kind of people who would let their daughter-in-law suffer any injustice.
Upon hearing this, Father Su asked again, "Then what are you worried about?"
Chen couldn't answer either.
"I see. Are you reluctant to leave your daughter?"
Chen: "A little bit."
Father Su smiled. He looked at Chen and said, "Why would you be reluctant to leave? They're so close. If you want to go and see them, just go. Besides, can you really stop them from getting married?"
Chen retorted, "I didn't mean to stop it, I just thought it was too rushed."
However, after saying this, Chen also felt that it was true. Getting married was a matter of time. Even if Daya didn't get married now, she would get married in the future. It was a matter of time. It was useless for her to stay a few more days.
Father Su saw Chen's expression and knew she had figured it out, so he said nothing more. "It's all my fault. I have to go back to the barracks next month, otherwise I wouldn't have to rush like this."
Yes, Su's father, Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe can only stay at home for one month, and they will set off for Jizhou again after one month. Now the three of them are soldiers of the Tiger Head Camp under the command of King Ji. They will be in the territory of King Ji in the future and cannot come back except at specific times.
Chen also knew about this and said, "That's right, it's all your fault." Chen was very unhappy that her husband had to leave right after coming back, but she also knew that her husband now had a better place to go, and she should be happy for him.
