Liu Yinyin was just as shocked as her husband when she ate her popsicle. Her eyes widened as she thought of how wonderful the new snack was. She could beat the summer heat by eating a popsicle.
Su Xuehai took one bite after another and jumped happily. “Grandma, this is nice!”
Shen Qiuhua’s heart melted when she saw how adorable her grandson was.
“Eat it slowly, okay? Your aunt sent a big box over, so you can have one a day.”
Su Fengmao added, “It’d be great if we could have a popsicle factory. We can manage enough if we specialize in making these things.”
Shen Qiuhua playfully hit his arm, saying, “Binglan says you can’t eat too many of these. You can only have two a day. Eating too many of these will ruin your stomach. Xuexuan, Xuehai, eat one today and another tomorrow, okay?”
“Yes, Grandma,” Su Xuexuan nodded and said, “We’ll listen to you and Aunt
Binglan. ”
“I’ll only eat one a day.” Su Xuehai raised his hand.
Shen Qiuhua smiled brightly. “You two really are the best grandsons.”
She could not stop smiling when she saw how sensible and intelligent her grandsons were. The little ones were also the top students among their peers in the academy’s student assessment.
The family sat together and ate their popsicles, unable to stop smiling. Afterward, everyone cooled down and began to eat the noodles.
During dinner, Shen Qiuhua seemed to have thought of something and said,
“I’ll send some popsicles to your grandparents tomorrow.”
Su Wenxiu said, “Aunt Zhizhi is pregnant, so she can’t eat snacks like these.” Since he studied medicine, he knew what pregnant women could and could not eat.
Shen Qiuhua responded, “Then I’ll send some to your grandparents and Fengchen. ”
Miao Zhizhi had been pregnant for a few months. Old Madam Su, Old Master Su, and Su Fengchen were thrilled when they heard the news. Immediately after, they did not allow Miao Zhizhi to help with the housework. They only allowed her to eat and rest.
Su Fengchen always cooked for his pregnant wife, so his cooking skills improved exponentially. Fortunately, he had hired a group of people to do his work for him.
He even had several managers for his cured meats store. He no longer had to worry about the store and could focus on caring for his wife and checking the store’s accounts. Even Old Master Su and Old Madam Su had plenty of free time.
When the family had nothing to do, they would watch the plays at the Grand Theater and stroll around the village’s development site.
“Uncle Fengchen treats Aunt Zhizhi very well,” Liu Yinyin said, “He won’t eat anything she can’t eat because he won’t want her to feel left out.”
Su Wenzhe nodded. ‘You’re right. Uncle Fengchen is so good to his wife. I can tell they have a splendid relationship.”
“Your uncle is gentle and attentive,” Shen Qiuhua said, “You have much to learn from him.”
“Mother, everyone’s personality is different.” Su Wenzhe was mature and steady whenever he was away from home. However, his demeanor changed whenever he was at home. He would seem more unrestrained. That was because he felt comfortable enough to behave like a child around his parents. Shen Qiuhua said, “I want you to learn from your uncle and be more gentle with Yinyin.”
Liu Yinyin smiled, saying, “He treats me very well, Mother-in-law.”
Liu Yinyin knew that although her husband seemed careless, he was meticulous by nature. Small matters did not bother Su Wenzhe, but he was attentive toward significant matters.
When the Su family’s conditions were bad in the past, Su Wenzhe could not bear to see his wife do any heavy lifting. Although he did not say it, his actions revealed everything.
If Liu Yinyin woke up in the middle of the night, Su Wenzhe would pour her some warm water to soak her feet. However, she would not allow him to do that in front of Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua.
Moreover, Su Wenzhe was dutiful to his parents, and Liu Yinyin noticed it.
Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “Good on you for speaking up for him, Yinyin.” She could not stop smiling because she knew her son and daughter had an excellent relationship. Even Liu Yinyin smiled sweetly.
After some thought, Su Fengmao said, “Wenxian is engaged, too, y’know. He’s getting married in the autumn, so we must tell Binglan about it.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “Of course we do. She’ll come home to participate in the wedding. Your Aunt Ding treats Binglan as if she were her own. Ding Wan hopes Binglan will be around for the wedding.”
Su Fengmao smiled when he mentioned it. He continued, “Fengzhang and Ding Wan won’t have anything to worry about when Wenxian gets married and has a child.”
“Ding Wan said she wouldn’t have let Wenxian get married at nineteen if it weren’t for her weak body. Fortunately, her health has improved. Wenxian’s fiancee is good, too.
“l heard her family lives on an island, and her father is the owner. The girl is also bright and beautiful.”
Su Wenzhe asked curiously, “Father, Mother, how did Wenxian and Teng Sushui meet?”
Shen Qiuhua answered, “Sushui and her parents visited the village to look around. They happened to meet Wenxian, and the two got to know each other.’
Liu Yinyin blinked, saying, “If it’s that straightforward, they must’ve fallen in love at first sight. That’s wonderful.”
Shen Qiuhua nodded. “Fengzhang and Ding Wan are happy with Sushui. Her parents are satisfied with Wenxian, too, so the two got engaged pretty quickly.”
She thought of something and went to take out a box. She returned to the family and continued, “The things inside here are pearls from the sea. I heard there are plenty of these on that island.
“Sushui’s parents gave many of these to Ding Wan, and she gave some to me, my mother-in-law, Fengzhi, and Zhizhi. I want to ask Binglan if she can make these into jewelry.”
“These pearls are gorgeous!” Liu Yinyin exclaimed, “They’re so round and shiny! They’ll look lovely if Binglan could make them into jewelry. Still, I wonder how she’ll pull that off.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “That’s why we have to wait for Binglan to return. I’ve yet to tell her about these things because she’s swamped in the capital. I’ll have to remember to mention it in my letter.”
After lunch, Shen Qiuhua sent some popsicles to Old Master Su and Old Madam Su.
When the older couple woke up from their afternoon nap, they sat under a big tree in the courtyard to enjoy the shade. Old Madam Su was doing some
needlework outside when Su Fengchen came out and saw her.
He said, “Qiuhua has already asked the embroidery shop workers to make things for my unborn child. Don’t tire yourself out. Why don’t you rest instead?”
“That’s different,” Old Madam Su said, “It feels different when 1 make it myself. I made all the clothes you and your brothers wore when you were young. I need to make blankets and clothes for your child.
“Don’t worry about me. I’m delighted to do these things. Also, keep your voice down. Zhizhi is sleeping.”
Su Fengchen countered, “She’s already awake, Mother..”
