Chapter 164 Chapter 164 So,...
So, Song Ling and the gifts he brought with him successfully entered the Su family.
Over here, Su Li was still in the kitchen preparing today's New Year's Eve dinner with Chen and others. They said they were preparing together, but in fact they were just sitting together chatting and warming each other. The food was prepared a few days ago, and today they only needed a little processing before they could eat it.
Chen, "Just stir-fry some more vegetables and it will be ready."
I've eaten too much meat during the past few days during the New Year holidays, and I feel like I'm getting a sore throat, so I want to eat some vegetables.
"Okay." Su Li responded. She would do it even if her mother didn't tell her.
"Or we can just have hotpot tonight." Su Tao suggested. Hotpot is good. It must be very comfortable to have a hotpot meal in the cold winter.
"That's a good idea." Chen nodded. "Then ask your grandpa and grandma later if they want to eat it."
"That's great!" Su Tao was happy.
Su Li thought about it and realized that it had been a long time since she had eaten hotpot. The weather was indeed suitable, so she voted in favor. Fangcao also nodded in agreement. It was only after she came to the Su family that she realized that there were so many delicious foods in the world. The meat that she had never been able to raise at home was now raised immediately after she came to the Su family.
She even felt that she had gained a lot of weight, especially her waist had become much thicker. However, Fangcao did not take it to heart. She just silently decided to eat less in the future.
"Then I'll go ask your grandparents." Chen said as she wiped her hands and went out.
However, when Chen went out, she brought little Cheng'an back. As soon as little Cheng'an came, he ran to Su Li and pointed at the stove. Su Li understood immediately.
It turns out that Xiao Cheng'an wanted to eat sweet potatoes again today after eating them yesterday.
So Su Li buried two more small sweet potatoes for him and said, "Let's go eat first and come back to eat after dinner, okay?" Su Li lowered her head to ask for Xiao Cheng'an's opinion.
Little Cheng'an blinked his big eyes, which were the same as Song Ling's, and seemed not to understand why he couldn't eat now.
Su Li patiently explained, "Look, today is Chinese New Year, and we made so many delicious dishes. If you eat the sweet potatoes, you won't be able to eat them later."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of prying it open. Su Li, "You mean, eat half, and then eat the other half for dinner?"
Xiao Cheng'an nodded.
Su Li touched his head, but little Cheng'an didn't move and let Su Li touch him. Su Li looked at his sensible appearance and her heart softened.
"Okay, let's eat half."
Little Cheng'an then sat down again and stared at the fire obediently.
Chen couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene. Such a good child, yet he couldn't even speak.
Su Li also felt a little uncomfortable. She asked Master Song, and Master Song said that little Cheng'an became like this because he was frightened when he was a child. She had seen many doctors, but they all said that it depended on when he wanted to speak up, and there was no other way.
But little Cheng'an seemed to have no desire to speak at all. No matter how others coaxed or induced him, he refused to open his mouth.
Thinking of this, Su Li sighed and treated the boy in front of her more gently. To be honest, Su Li didn't like children. Children were noisy and noisy, which was really annoying. But the little boy in front of her was smart and sensible. In comparison, he was one in a million.
"Okay, now that we're done eating, let's go to the front." Su Li wiped little Cheng'an's hands and picked him up.
The little boy didn't seem to be used to being held by others. His face turned red. He struggled for a while, but finally he obediently hugged Su Li's neck and put his little head on it.
When Song Ling saw Su Li, he happened to see this scene. He stepped forward calmly and took the person over. "Let me do it. Thank you for your hard work, sister A Li."
Su Li looked at Song Ling in front of her. Today, he was rarely wearing the blue shirt. Instead, he wore a moon-colored brocade robe and his hair was tied up with a jade crown. He really lived up to the saying that a gentleman with a bad reputation has jade ears and a face as bright as a star.
Su Li was distracted for a moment and quickly looked away.
Speaking of which, the Su family is considered to be quite good-looking, with almost no one ugly. Even Su Li's generation is not ugly. But if we really talk about looks, Song Ling and Cheng Ge'er are good-looking in another way, especially Song Ling. The hint of nobility and coldness around him makes him look particularly different, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
Mrs. Wu said, "Sit down and eat."
Today is New Year's Eve, and Chen rarely agrees to let Su Li and Su Tao have a drink with her. At first, the Su family was a little restrained because of the addition of Song Ling. After all, the Su family used to celebrate the New Year at home, but this year there were three strangers. But soon, as the wine started to flow, the atmosphere became lively. The Su family did not have the habit of having separate tables, so everyone sat together, chatting and laughing while eating.
"I hope we can have this day every year." Old man Su stood up and raised his glass, and everyone stood up with him. This was something Su Li said casually before, but since then, it has become everyone's catchphrase every New Year.
“Every year has this day, every year has this morning.”
“Every year has this day, every year has this morning.”
Everyone stood up and clinked glasses, then sat down again.
Today is different from every previous year, not only because we are all together this year, but also because we are in a foreign land this year, and because there are other people this year. However, despite so many differences, what is the same as every previous year is that we are still staying up together to welcome the New Year, and we still set off fireworks together after dinner.
When the fireworks bloomed above the yard, almost everyone was full of hope for the future. Su Li also made a wish in her heart, hoping that the people she loved would be safe and healthy.
After secretly making a wish, she opened her eyes. However, when she turned her head, she saw Song Ling who was also looking at her. In an instant, Su Li's heart began to be confused.
To be honest, during these two days of contact, Su Li was not completely unaware of Song Ling's intentions. Although at first she believed that he had no place to celebrate the New Year, after thinking about it, she realized that it was impossible for him to not find a place to celebrate the New Year with his status. Moreover, he was so flattering to her parents and elders, and just now he gave her a jade hairpin as a New Year's gift.
No matter how stupid Su Li was, she understood it. However, even though she knew it, she could only pretend not to know. Their family backgrounds were very different. If they were really together, it might be even worse than being with that Zhao Sanlang. Su Li didn't want to live a life without freedom for the rest of her life, so she could only pretend not to know.
Fortunately, the other party did not make the matter clear, but just visited frequently in the following days. Sometimes he accompanied Old Man Su to go fishing, sometimes he accompanied Su's father to drink, and sometimes he taught Su Qinghe and Su Qingshan how to shoot, and captured the hearts of everyone in the Su family.
As for Su Li, she was still a coward, pretending to know nothing until something big happened.
It was a day near the Qingming Festival. A flood occurred in the south, submerging several cities. Hundreds of thousands of people were affected overnight. It happened that Mrs. Wu, Old Man Su, and Mrs. Chen went back to Qinghe County to worship their ancestors, and they encountered this wave of refugees. Not only that, Qinghe County was also surrounded by refugees. When Su Li received the letter, she learned that her eldest sister and uncle were trapped in the city and couldn't get out.
To make matters worse, Su's father and two brothers had just gone to the south with the army to provide disaster relief some time ago. This made Su Li very anxious, and she immediately wanted to take Awen and Awu back with her.
Jiao Li, "Little sister, there's nothing you can do if you go back. You'd better stay here and see what happens." Jiao Li and Su Tao's marriage has been decided, and it will be next month. It was originally agreed that Chen and others would go back and pick up the relatives from Qinghe County to attend the wedding banquet, but who knew they would encounter such a thing.
Fangcao agreed, "Yes, fifth sister, let's wait and see. Maybe the situation will get better in a few days." Fangcao was pregnant and did not go back this time.
Su Li sighed. She knew very well that there was nothing she could do if she went back, but she was still very panicked.
Su Tao was as anxious as Su Li, "You don't have to go back. I'll go back with my fifth sister."
After these words were spoken, Jiao Li didn't dare to say anything else.
After hearing this, Su Li calmed down and began to think seriously about what to do.
But before Su Li could think of a solution, the Song Mansion sent a message, "Our Master told Madam Su not to worry and just wait at home. He has already taken people to Qinghe County and will definitely bring all of Madam Su's relatives back safely."
This sentence was like a reassurance, and Su Li calmed down instantly. It was at this moment that she realized that in her era, public security and war could happen at any time, and accidents could happen at any time. She used to think that having money would be enough, but when the critical moment came, no one was willing to help even if she spent money to hire people.
"That's all good now, thanks to Master Song."
"yes."
Su Tao and Fang Cao were thankful, and Su Li also thought to herself, yes, thanks to the other party, otherwise I really don’t know what to do this time.
On the other side, Song Ling led people to Qinghe County, and the Wen Mansion also sent people to pick up Su Li. When Madam Lin saw Su Li, she reached out and held Su Li's hand and comforted her.
"Are you scared? Don't worry, Uncle Meng has already taken people there. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
After that, Lin started talking about Song Ling's youth, saying how superb Song Ling's martial arts were and how he had never lost a fight.
It was only at this time that Su Li learned that the seemingly weak young man actually had such a past. What she heard from Lin seemed like the life of another person, and he was two completely different people from the current Song Ling.
"Thank you, ma'am." Su Li knew that the other party said this in order to let her not worry, so she said gratefully.
Seeing that she understood, Lin was relieved. "From now on, don't call me wife anymore. Call me Aunt Lin."
Su Li hesitated for a moment, but soon she figured it out, "Aunt Lin."
"Oh." Lin smiled with satisfaction.
Then, Lin invited Su Li to stay for dinner before letting her go.
After Su Li left, Lin showed a worried look, "I don't know if Uncle Meng's body can handle it now." Ever since Song Ling escaped death that year, his body has been seriously injured. I don't know if he has recovered over the years. It's really worrying.
"Young master, you are a lucky man. Everything will be fine." The old woman comforted Lin.
Lin, “I hope so.”
On the other hand, just as Lin had expected, Song Ling's old injury relapsed while fighting with refugees after arriving in Qinghe County, and he almost died there. Fortunately, Mrs. Wu acted decisively.
"Let's go back to the village first. There's a cellar there with medicine in it."
Only then did Chen remember the cellar that her father-in-law and son had dug.
"Yes, there is medicine in the cellar."
So the group helped Song Ling back to Xiaoxi Village.
