Lu Xiaomei’s voice grew quieter and quieter, and Susu had to stretch her neck and lean in to listen carefully.

“How is it? The main thing is he has a good character, and there is no mess at home.”

“He’s a pretty good guy, the only college student in his family, and they all supported him to get admitted. He also studies really hard, and we are in the same class.”

Susu, curious, asked, “So how did you two get together? Did he confess to you first?”

“Sister-in-law~”

Lu Xiaomei didn’t expect her sister-in-law to ask such detailed questions—her whole face instantly turned red and hot.

After a long while, she moved her lips and muttered softly, “We kept bumping into each other, so we started talking more. After a while, he made it clear that he wanted to date me, and I agreed.”

“Wow, the young man is quite bold.”

…

“Susu, Lu Xiaomei has finished eating.”

The two, engrossed in their conversation, then realized that the little guy had already fallen asleep at some point.

Even though he was asleep, his head was still turned towards Lu Xiaomei, giving a sense of eavesdropping sleepiness.

The weather was hot in summer, and the household typically kept meals simple; otherwise, cooking in the hall for too long would make it unbearably hot, and the heat would make it impossible to sleep on the heated brick bed.

Today’s dinner was just cold noodles: a big bowl of chilled white noodles, a big bowl of shredded cucumber, and a big bowl of tomato and egg sauce.

A bite of the cold noodles cooled her down significantly, and Susu had to admit, Mrs. Lu’s cooking skills were improving impressively.

Susu, enjoying her meal, said, “Mom, your cooking skills are now comparable to a state-run restaurant’s chef; it’s really delicious.”

Mrs. Lu was so pleased that she couldn’t stop smiling, “Eat more if you like it.”

Lu Xiaomei also mimicked her sister-in-law, shoving a large bite of cold noodles into her mouth, giving a thumbs up, and said unclearly,

“Mom, this is so delicious.”

Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at her daughter, with a face of disdain, “Finish eating before you talk. A young lady should sit and eat gracefully.”

Lu Xiaomei, shocked, her eyes widened; she looked down at herself and then up at her sister-in-law, who was giggling like a kitten.

Feeling helpless, she pouted her mouth, “Okay, the same action that looks cute when my sister-in-law does it, looks… not so nice when I do it.”

Seeing how his wife had quickly finished her meal, Lu Xiaoting said, “Wife, do you want more? I’ll mix it for you.”

Susu nodded, “Get me another half bowl. Mom’s cooking is too delicious.”

Mrs. Lu was beaming with joy throughout the dinner.

“Susu, what do you want for lunch tomorrow? Mom will make it for you.”

Susu thought for a moment, “Let’s have oat noodles, boil some potatoes, and have a cold salad. I’ll bring some spiced meat back.”

“Okay.”

Lu Xiaomei, taking advantage of her mother’s absence, quietly complained to her sister-in-law, “Sister-in-law, ever since the college entrance exam ended, my mom hardly notices me anymore; she doesn’t even ask what I’d like to eat.”

Susu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Well, what do you want to eat? I’ll speak for you.”

Lu Xiaomei giggled a little, “I’d like to have oat noodles too.”

Susu… rolled her eyes at Little Aunt.

“Hehe, Mom, Little Aunt, let me clean up the dishes. You two rest.”

…

The family had finished their breakfast before it even turned dark.

As the sun set, accompanied by a cool breeze, it was no longer so hot outside.

The family sat in the yard enjoying the cool air, chatting about family matters.

Every so often, the squabbling voices of the neighboring children and the scolding voices of adults could be heard.

Susu patted Xiao Yu’s head with emerging stubble of hair, “Xiao Yu, have you finished your homework?”

“Finished, Uncle has checked it all.”

Xiao Yu nodded his head, his eyes comfortably squinting like a lazy kitten.

“Xiaomei, go find another stool.”

Lu Xiaomei was bewildered as her second brother abruptly picked her up from the stool, utterly confused.

Susu witnessed the Little Aunt being picked up by a man like picking up a small chick and couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Faced with Little Aunt’s accusing eyes, she silently turned her head at a forty-five-degree angle.

Lu Xiaomei: “…”

Looking up at the sky and around, but pointedly not at her sister-in-law, Lu Xiaomei sneaked a glance at her second brother who had just given her a cool look and quietly went to find her mother and Little Aunt.

Mrs. Lu and Little Aunt were smiling warmly, waving and pulling Lu Xiaomei to sit between them.

“Xiao Ting really is… stingy.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, sitting with Mom is just as good.”

“That kid, Xiao Ting, is really clingy with his wife.”

——

There were no entertainment activities at the moment, so the large family usually washed up and went to bed by a little past eight.

Lu Xiaoting wrapped his arms around his wife, pulling the woman who was nearly plastered to the wall back into his embrace.

Susu, feeling resigned, had even tried to escape this man by moving toward the wall, but ended up being embraced by him again.

“Oh, let me go, it’s too hot,” Susu struggled to wriggle out of the man’s embrace.

“Not letting go, just not letting go of my wife.”

“It’s hot, your body is too hot, I’m burning up.”

Lu Xiaoting slightly loosened his muscular arm, complaining to his wife.

“Wife, I think you and Xiaomei are keeping secrets from me. You’re not even being affectionate with me anymore.”

Susu felt both itchy and warm from the breath of the man speaking near her ear and couldn’t help but dodge away.

As she listened to the man’s pitiful complaints, the image of a nearly six-foot-tall tough guy looking all miserable and pitiful popped into her mind.

She couldn’t hold back a laugh, her shoulders shaking.

Lu Xiaoting, feeling helpless, said, “Wife.”

“Oh, please, whatever is between me and Xiaomei, that’s women’s business; why are you, a big man, getting jealous?”

Susu turned over to face the man, soothing him with a smile.

“Wife, I don’t care, I’m jealous.”

The corner of Susu’s mouth twitched as she sensed a whining tone.

Quite afraid of the man’s persistence, she simply planted a kiss on him, “Alright, alright, no more jealousy. I love you the most.”

In the dark of the night, a victorious smile appeared on the man’s lips, his voice husky and seductive.

“Wife, I love you the most too.”

Susu’s heart skipped a beat, it took her a moment to realize that those words had actually come from this man’s mouth.

Leaning in again, she gave the man a rewarding kiss.

“Alright, let’s sleep, you have to work tomorrow.”

“Hmm, wife, good night.”

Susu curled her lips, closed her eyes, and moved away from the warmth of the man.

Just as Susu was about to drift off into sleep, her mind suddenly flooded with a mess of scenes.

Susu abruptly opened her eyes, carefully recalling the storyline of the original book.

Shocked, she covered her mouth. Wasn’t the Phoenix Man, whom Xiaomei eventually married in the original book, the one mentioned today?

Huang Chengzu—a college classmate of Lu Xiaomei, a love born from freedom, married straight after graduation.

Their married life had started off quite happy.
