Xie Limo looked at Su Lenghan’s expression and said, “You seem pretty contented now.”
“Yeah. All I thought about in the past was how to make the Su family more prosperous. To be honest, I had great ambitions too. However, after I really let go of everything, I realized that this is the kind of life that I really want. A person’s life is merely a few decades long. Living a simple life is pretty good too. However, everyone has a different life that suits them. You guys must work hard. Sometimes, your view of the world will be broadened when you’re standing at a high point.”
Xie Limo and Yun Bixue both nodded their heads. Su Lenghan’s words were very true.
Yun Bixue could not stand idling around either, so she went to the kitchen to help out.
Although Mother Su insisted that she did not need help, Yun Bixue still tried her best to help her at the side.
As they busied themselves, Mother Su and Yun Bixue started chatting as well.
“Bixue, you’re a good child. It’s a pity that I was blind to this in the past.”
“Auntie, it’s all in the past now. There’s no need to talk about all these. We are acquainted with each other after all. Seeing that you all are leading a decent life now makes me happy too.”
Mother Su secretly wiped her tears with her apron and smiled as she said, “Bixue, you’re a kind and good child. You will surely have happiness.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
“Although it’s been a long while, I still remember that you love eating french fries. We planted and grew these potatoes ourselves. I fried some of it myself. You can have more of it later. There’s chives and eggplant here. I made some fried stuffed eggplant. It’s really delicious. These vegetables are all homegrown and organic. Here, try it. I also made some rice cakes two days ago and fried breadsticks…”
When Yun Bixue heard Mother Su saying all these, she could not help but be impressed. “Auntie, you can make so many dishes on your own now!”
Mother Su felt a little abashed as she smiled and said, “I learned it all from our neighbors. Here in the countryside, everyone is very nice. They will try their best to teach what you don’t know. They won’t try to hide or conceal anything. If there’s anything nice to eat, they will go and give some food to those families that are having a hard time. When our family first moved here, the neighbors all felt that we were having a hard time, so they always sent their dishes and eggs over.”
As she said that, Mother Su’s eyes reddened. “Bixue, you don’t know how touched my husband and I were back then. We did not even know what to say. No one had ever treated us so kindly without asking for a favor in return. My heart felt very warm then. I suddenly felt like life was pretty good here. Our family started to lead our lives and work earnestly. Now, I’m as close as sisters with the elder sisters in the neighborhood…”
Yun Bixue could also sense the simple joy in Mother Su’s words.
Not long after, an array of dishes filled the table. Seeing that Mother Su was about to continue preparing more food, Yun Bixue immediately went up to stop her and said, “Auntie, stop making more food. There’s already so much here. It will just go to waste if we don’t finish it.”
“Bixue, just let Auntie busy herself around, or else I will feel bad. You’re a good child and have been helping us all along, but I couldn’t really do anything for you. You know as well that Yangyang is like that child Lenghan’s lifeline. Our family will only be happy if she is well. You didn’t mind the past and saved her life, and I would almost have kowtowed to you for this.”
“Auntie, don’t be like this. Yangyang is a very lovable child. Even if it was a stranger’s child, I wouldn’t leave the child in the lurch either. You guys must live on well and raise Yangyang up. If there’s someone suitable, let Su Lenghan find a partner as well!”
Yun Bixue felt that Yangyang still needed a mother.
Mother Su sighed. “Lenghan doesn’t listen to us. Bixue, if… if it’s possible, can you try helping to persuade him?”
