“Yeah, you’re right.” Ding Wan nodded. She had been to many places in the past, thanks to her husband and son.
However, she was weak then, and they were not in the mood to sightsee whenever they traveled. They practically lived in the open and hungry as they looked for a miracle doctor to cure Ding Wan.
She found it hard to describe how she felt then. Just thinking about it made her heart ache. She also felt sorry for Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian.
Nonetheless, Ding Wan had recovered completely, and her family’s living conditions had improved exponentially. The trio could stand tall whenever they went out. They were proud and confident.
Ding Wan knew it was because of Su Binglan. The former said, “Qiuhua, I feel a lot of emotions when I think about the past. Time flies, and changes happen so quickly. It’s thanks to Binglan that my family and I are here now.”
Shen Qiuhua smiled. “Don’t say that. We’re family, so we should help each other. I’m not used to you thanking me all the time. Binglan always says she didn’t do much. It was you, Fengzhang, and Wenxiu who helped her a lot.
“Binglan didn’t feel at ease hiring others when she built the noodle shop and winery. It was you three who helped her with running those places.”
“l understand.” Ding Wan shook her head. “Although you say that, I’m still grateful to her. I wouldn’t know what would’ve happened to my family if it weren’t for Binglan.”
Ding Wan dared not think about it, even though she had suffered in the past. Now that she had a good life, she cherished it. Moreover, she always reminded her son not to forget his roots.
She continued, “The house we got Wenxian is also because of Binglan. They don’t have to get a new house once they get married. It’s convenient for them to live there.
“l ordered some custom-made furniture from Madam Zhou. I even ordered quits, a mattress, and other things from the embroidery shop. Everything looked beautiful.
“l must say, it’s so convenient to buy things in Su Teng Village.” Ding Wan sighed.
Shen Qiuhua chuckled. “You’re not the only one who feels this way. So many others have mentioned it to me, too. Everyone loves how convenient living here is. There’s so much delicious food.
Ding Wan nodded with a smile. “Sushui and her parents didn’t want to leave after visiting. They loved the food and the plays at the Grand Theater. They found the plays delightful.”
Shen Qiuhua responded, “The things we have here aren’t available anywhere else.”
“l agree, especially with the fruit juice. So many people want to buy it that most people can’t even get it, even through their connections. It’s just like when Binglan first built the noodle shop.”
The demand was too high for the noodle shop to meet when Su Binglan first established it. They did not have enough stock for everybody. Later, the shop expanded, and the family hired more people to make the instant noodles.
Gradually, there was more supply in the market, and everyone could buy it.
The fruit juice factory had opened not long ago, and it would probably take some time before the production could meet demand.
Ding Wan and Shen Qiuhua chatted for a long while before the latter left to visit Su Fenzhi and Madam Liu’s house, However, only Madam Liu and her grandson, Su Xuerui, were home.
Su Xuerui studied at Blue Mountain Academy, but it was the summer vacation, so he stayed home.
Madam Liu was ecstatic when she saw Shen Qiuhua, greeting, “It’s nice to see you, Sister-in-law. Quick, come in.”
She pulled Shen Qiuhua into the house as the little one called out, “Hello, Grandaunt Qiuhua! ”
Shen Qiuhua smiled. “You’re looking livelier than ever, Ruirui.”
Su Xuerui had just celebrated his fourth birthday.
Madam Liu was delighted to see her grandson so enthusiastic. She said, “l remember how quiet Ruirui was last year. He was so shy, but his personality has improved.
“He usually plays with Xuexuan and Xuehai in the academy. I feel at ease whenever he goes to the academy because his cousins are with him. Ruirui has only been attending school for half a year, but he has learned many things.”
Madam Liu was pleased that her grandson was bright. “l just hope he’ll be capable when he grows up after learning as much as possible. It’ll be easier for him to build a career in the future.’
Shen Qiuhua nodded, saying, “That’s right. When I look at Xuexuan and Xuehai, I know they’ll grow to be fine young men who will have their own families. I’ll be happy to see my great-grandchildren.”
Shen Qiuhua and Madam Liu were grandmothers. They smiled when they spoke about it.
After entering the house, Shen Qiuhua put down the basket and said, “We were so busy talking that I almost forgot to show you what 1 brought.”
She took out the popsicles and said, “Here, have a taste. These are the popsicles Binglan sent us from the capital. These will help relieve the heat. Children can eat these, too.’
Madam Liu lit up when she heard that Su Binglan had sent the popsicles. The former knew they would taste good.
Shen Qiuhua gave one to Madam Liu and one to the little one. “Ruirui, this is the popsicle your aunt made. It’s cold, so eat it slowly, okay?”
“Thank you, Grandaunt Qiuhua! I must thank Aunt Binglan, too.” Su Xuerui was brilliant and knew his aunt always made delicious food and snacks. He also knew she made many fun things, like toys and lanterns.
“Grandaunt, when is Aunt Binglan coming back? 1 miss her.”
The little one’s words amused Shen Qiuhua. “I’m surprised you know what it means to miss someone, Ruirui. Can you tell me what that means?”
Su Xuerui said thoughtfully, “It means I’m thinking about her in my heart.”
Shen Qiuhua and Madam Liu laughed. The former said, “I’ll tell your aunt to come home earlier so that you can see her, okay?”
Su Xuerui was thrilled. “Okay!’
Shen Qiuhua looked at the little one holding the popsicle and said softly,
“Hurry and eat the popsicle before it melts.”
Only then did Su Xuerui start eating the popsicle. He happily said, “It’s so tasty, Grandaunt!”
“It’s all yours, but you must eat it slowly. There will be more next time, okay?” Shen Qiuhua was happy to see the little one enjoying the popsicle.
She liked cooking and studying food every day. She felt a sense of satisfaction whenever she cooked for her family and listened to their praises.
At that moment, Madam Liu bit into her popsicle and was full of praise, “This thing is wonderful. I feel cool all over after eating it. It’s suitable to eat during summer.”
“Yeah, 1 agree with that sentiment. Binglan was the one who developed it.” Shen Qiuhua looked around and said, “Where are the others? Now that it’s summer, there shouldn’t be a need for charcoal, right?”
Previously, Su Wenlin and Su Wenchi were responsible for the charcoal factory. They were busier during the winter, but Shen Qiuhua thought that should no longer be the case since it was summer..
