Seeing the careful, pleading expression on Mother Su’s face, Yun Bixue sighed in her heart before she said, “Auntie, I’ll try!”

Mother Su grabbed Yun Bixue’s hand agitatedly and said, “Bixue, Mother Su, the Su family owes you too much!” As she said that, she almost cried.

Father Su coughed and said, “Don’t make a joke out of yourself in front of the child.”

Yun Bixue could not take Mother Su crying like this and said, “Auntie, you don’t owe me anything, alright? My life is pretty good now.”

In fact, she was really grateful for her life. The various turns in her life let her and Xie Limo meet each other, so she had always looked at everything with a heart of gratitude. She did not have any grievances or resentment but lived life positively.

“Yes, yes. Bixue, as long as you’re doing well, Auntie’s heart will feel a little better.”

When it was time to eat, a table was placed on the brick bed, and the dishes were all laid out on it. Everyone sat around the table and ate as they drank tea.

It was snowing outside, while there was warmth right beneath them. They felt a sense of warmth in both sight and mind.

The Su family had a habit while eating, which was to attend to Yangyang first.

Yun Bixue also asked them a few questions out of curiosity. “She’s already one year old now. Has her teeth grown out? What does she eat usually?”

“When she was only a few months old, we fed her fresh milk. Now, we feed her with milk formula, eggs, and yam. Yam is widely planted in the farms. It’s best to feed children with that…”

“When she turned one, she can make sounds already. That day, she called Lenghan ‘dad.’ He was so touched that he cried.”

“Mum, stop talking about it.”

“Lenghan is embarrassed. Once you both become parents, you will understand that kind of feeling. You two will feel happy and touched at every milestone of your child too…”

Yun Bixue listened carefully. She felt that she would definitely put it to use in the future.

Father Su suddenly recalled something and said, “When they leave tomorrow, prepare some yams, sweet potatoes, and some vegetables for them.”

“Yes, we definitely can’t forget this. Once you guys have children, come visit us often. The eggs, yams, and vegetables here are all organic. It’s safe and healthy for children!”

Yun Bixue’s face reddened when she heard Father Su and Mother Su’s words. Indeed, she felt a little embarrassed.

Xie Limo held her hand silently as he said to Father and Mother Su, “Thank you so much.”

“Why are you thanking us? You’re too polite. Let’s eat. Here, eat more of the food!”

Yun Bixue reacted and said, “Auntie, what do you mean we’re leaving tomorrow? We have to hurry back home tonight.”

Mother Su immediately said, “Bixue, look at the snow outside. The sky is getting dark soon. Don’t go back now. There’s a house beside ours. Dad had already warmed the brick bed. You guys should just stay for the night. Also, there’s a market fair tomorrow. Why don’t you guys go and take a look? Just relax yourselves for a while. Staying in the city all day long can be tiring too.”

Yun Bixue’s eyes lit up when she heard that there would be a farmer’s market tomorrow. This was her first time hearing of it.

Xie Limo could naturally guess what Yun Bixue was thinking. He said, “Thank you, Uncle and Auntie. We will have to trouble you both then.”

“It’s no trouble at all. We are really happy that you both can stay.”

After the meal, everyone sat around the brick bed, covered with a blanket as they chatted over tea.

Most of the time, it was Mother Su talking about the happenings in the neighborhood. Su Lenghan also talked about some interesting stories in Guan Tao Village.

Xie Limo accompanied them as they talked while Yun Bixue listened quietly as she played with Yangyang. Her expression was calm and gentle.

When the sky turned dark, Mother Su brought Yun Bixue and Xie Limo to the house next door.

She unlocked the door and said, “The brick bed is all warmed up, and there are blankets inside as well. I bought this house so that in the future, if Lenghan can think things through and find a wife, they can stay in this house. I’ve thought things through now. It would be best for them if they can live separately and have some privacy.”
