Ads by Pubfuture Chapter 891: A Relaxed Summer Night Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
That evening, the villagers had an early dinner and took their stools to the door to enjoy the shade. It was pretty much a gathering of chatting neighbors.
Since there was no television or internet in this era, the villagers would come out and chat. After all, they had nothing much to do at home, If it were winter, they would probably go to bed straight after dinner.
During summer, everyone would go out to enjoy the shade after dinner. They would share their stories with their neighbors.
There were not that many mosquitos in the summer during ancient times because the air was fresh and the environment was perfect. Still, there would be a few mosquitos flying around. The villagers would simply need to fan themselves to avoid getting bitten.
The night wind brought a chill when it blew past, making the villagers feel cool and relaxed. Everyone smiled as they chatted.
“We no longer have to worry so much about wars in Chu Country.”
“Yeah, everyone can rest assured with our new emperor and princess. We’ll be fine as long as they live.”
“l agree. His Imperial Highness has already reduced our taxes. Besides that little bit of tax, the grain we harvest is more than enough for everyone.”
“Not only can we eat our fill, but we can also rest assured. We can even have white rice for every meal.”
“The previous emperor and Crown Prince were evil. They increased our taxes and also forced people to become soldiers. Those two were just sending people to their deaths. It was terrifying.”
“Yeah, there were bandits all over the capital, too. It’s much safer now.”
Everyone was emotional and dared not go out in the past. There was not enough food to go around, either. The people could only eat gruel to survive. They did not even dare to sleep, and even a dog’s bark would wake them.
The previous emperor never cared about the commoners’ lives, but things had changed. People could go out as they pleased and had nothing to worry about.

“That’s not all. I heard we’d also have factories and farms here. We’ll benefit from those.’
“Yeah, did you read the newspaper? Every county will have schools in the future. The children in surrounding villages can attend school for free, and the schools won’t charge any extra fees.”
“That’s exciting news! ”
Although the villagers were not as cultured as the people in the capital, the former knew how critical reading was. An entire village would be proud if they could produce even one scholar.
Nonetheless, it was challenging for village folk to provide for their children to become scholars. The villagers were excited that their children could enroll in a school for free.
“The news must be true because the newspaper office belongs to His Imperial Highness. The news can’t report anything without His Imperial Highness’s consent.”
“You’re right. It’s just like the notices from the government office, so it must be true. Now, both of my children can attend school. Besides, paper is cheap now. We don’t have to worry about not being able to afford it.”
“l heard those who do well in their studies will get something called a scholarship.”
The villagers discussed such things enthusiastically.
“The schools will have Imperial Examinations and teach the students many helpful skills. Some will learn embroidery, several will learn martial arts, others can study accounting, etcetera.”
“The schools will teach our children how to produce more crops per acre, too. It seems they’ve thought of everything.”@@novelbin@@
Everyone became spirited as they spoke. They knew their children would live extraordinary lives because they could learn life skills by attending school. The parents would no longer have to worry about their children’s futures.
The villagers were relieved to hear this news. They were not in the same state of mind whenever they chatted in the past. However, they seemed to be smiling brightly now because they were full of hope.
“I’m pleased with our new emperor and princess.”
Ads by Pubfuture “Me, too! Everyone has always liked Prince Ruozhu and Princess Ruobing. It’s even better now that they’re our new rulers.”
“The current princess isn’t Princess Ruobing, but Princess Binglan is just as good. I was shocked when Her Highness visited my house and told me she wanted to buy my cow.”
“l had trouble believing she was our princess because of how soft and gentle she was.’
Everyone’s eyes were full of admiration as they talked about Su Binglan.
“Father, Mother, can we attend school, too?” a little girl asked, her eyes revealing a look of longing.
The girl’s mother smiled, saying, “Don’t worry. You and your siblings can go to school, especially since there’s a lot to learn. You told me you like embroidery, right? You can learn it in school.
“You can learn to read after studying for three years and then move on to learning about embroidery.
“Speaking of which, there’s a shop in the capital that sells school bags, four-piece suits, sweaters, and so on. Those things are from the embroidery shop in Dingzhou. The women who work in that shop earn more than most men.”
Certain things in Dingzhou were no longer a secret. The people also knew about the many great creations that came from there.”
“You seem to know a lot about Dingzhou, huh?”
“l have a distant cousin who lives in Su Teng Village. She sent me some wheat seeds through the courier. Her letter stated that the seeds have a higher yield than ordinary ones.
“She also told me about many other things about Su Teng Village in her letter. That’s why I know so much. The things I read about Dingzhou sounded like legends to me. Now, I believe them.
“Her Highness is in the capital now, and she said she’d build a factory and hire the villagers.”
Everyone’s hearts were full of enthusiasm as they chatted and laughed together.
Su Binglan did not even have time to eat when she returned to the Wei Manor. She looked at the few buckets of milk and said happily, “Now we can make milk tea and ice cream!”
Su Chun and Su Ju were beside their master, watching and helping curiously.
Su Binglan said, “Let’s prepare the fruits first. We have melons, apricots, watermelons, and mangos. Wash and dice them, please.”
“Right away, Master.”
While Su Chun and Su Ju were busy, Su Binglan scooped some plain water into the basin and added some spiritual spring water. She then added sugar and stirred everything together.
Su Chun and Su Ju finished their work swiftly. After washing and dicing the fruits, they awaited their master’s following instructions..

Su Binglan had already added the milk to the pot at that moment. She then said, “Su Chun, you can start the fire. Su Ju, juice the fruits with that wooden juicer but leave a portion of the diced fruits.
“After that, add sugar to the juice and put the mixture into the mold. Once that’s done, add the diced fruit into the mold.’
“Understood, Master.” Su Chun and Su Ju were excited to help.
After Su Chun started the fire, Su Binglan placed the glutinous rice flour and rock sugar into the pot and stirred it.
“I’ll boil this for a while and then simmer it. Later, we’ll let it cool down and then put it into an ice mold to freeze it.”
The Manor even had a cold storage cellar. Su Binglan had asked someone to make it, and it was just right to store the ice cream.
“You can eat them once they’ve frozen over.”
Su Chun and Su Ju looked at the two things, wondering what they would taste like. Still, they knew it would be delicious because their master made it.
‘So, these will turn into ice cream.’
Su Binglan said, “There are several flavors of ice cream, but I’ll make these two first. I can open an ice cream shop next time.”
Fortunately, Lan Ruozhu had already arranged for people to build many factories near the capital. After building these factories, Su Binglan could mass produce her products.
“You can only eat ice cream after it’s frozen, but they should be ready before we go to bed. I made plenty, so everyone in the manor can try some. Next, we’ll make milk tea.’
Su Binglan smiled when she thought about drinking milk tea later. She first prepared the ingredients and then added brown sugar and warm water to a big bowl. She then added a suitable amount of sweet potato starch and mixed everything.
Ads by Pubfuture When adding the starch, she stirred it slowly. She used chopsticks to stir the starch into the mixture and then kneaded it into a smooth dough using her hands.
Su Binglan told Su Ju, “Observe these steps. I’ll leave the milk tea shop to you.”
Su Ju was in high spirits when she heard that. Her eyes widened as she observed every step. “Of course, Master.”
Su Binglan explained every step in detail as she worked. ‘All right, prepare a clean plate.”
“Yes, Master.”
When Su Ju brought the plate over, Su Binglan sprinkled some sweet potato powder on it. Then, she took a little dough and kneaded it into a ball before putting it onto the plate.
“Just do it like this and make the dough into small balls.”
After that, Su Binglan boiled a pot of water and placed the dough balls into it. Soon after, she removed and soaked them in cold water. She could then prepare the milk tea.
She poured a suitable amount of pure milk into the pot and then added black tea with white sugar, saying, “Use a small fire and simmer the mixture. Don’t forget to keep stirring.”
“It smells so good!” Su Chun exclaimed. It smelled different from food, but it was rich and sweet-smelling.
Su Ju also took in the fragrance, thinking, ‘No wonder everyone’s envious of
Su Chun for always being by Master’s side. Su Chun can eat unique foods from time to time and even watch the cooking process.’
Su Binglan smiled, saying, “It does smell good, doesn’t it?”
She missed the taste of milk tea.
“Now, wait until the color of the pot turns red, and then remove the black tea bag. Then, scoop the milk tea into a cup and add the balls we just made. Those are the pearls for the milk tea.
Ads by Pubfuture “It’s still a little hot now, so drink it when it cools down. You can chill it a little if you want to. Let’s keep these for now and chill the rest. We’ll remove them later for everyone to try.”
Su Chun and Su Ju did as their master said. Afterward, they sat beside the milk tea bottle and waited for its contents to cool down before drinking it. Su Binglan smiled as she looked at the duo.
A while later, Su Binglan took the milk tea from the ice water and said, “All right, you can drink it now. Call the butler and the housekeepers to get the rest. Everyone has one bottle.”
Su Chun got up and went to inform the butler of Su Binglan’s request. Soon after, Butler Zhou rushed over with the housekeepers. They were moved when they found out that Su Binglan had made drinks for everyone. They were shocked when they smelled and drank the milk tea.
“l never knew such a thing existed.”
“The milk tea and juice taste different, but they’re both good.”
“Ah, it’s nice to drink this on such a hot day. It’s so refreshing.”
“It’s sweet and fragrant. It’s also different from fruit juice.”
Everyone drank their milk tea with excitement. Su Chun and Su Ju barely spoke as they drank half of theirs. However, they stopped when they realized they had only half left.
Su Binglan sighed in relief after drinking hers. She then looked outside and asked, “Why isn’t Jin’an home yet?”
“The general is still in the military camp. He sent us a message, telling Her Highness to eat without waiting for him. I’ve already asked the kitchen to prepare the meal.”
Su Binglan waved. “I’m not hungry after drinking this. Let’s wait for Jin’an to get back before eating.”
She had grown accustomed to eating with her husband. She would not have an appetite if he were not around. She even left some milk tea for Luo Jin’an.@@novelbin@@
Su Binglan noticed everyone enjoying the drinks and thought she should organize the people in the manor to make milk tea together. Then, she could open a milk tea shop.
She also wanted to make more milk tea and ice cream to send to her family in Su Teng Village. Since Su Wenwu had made a box for convenient storage, she could store the two items inside for a few days without melting.
Soon after, Su Binglan went to the study to design a shop. As she was drawing, she heard footsteps outside. Strangely enough, she recognized them as her husband’s.
She raised her head and met Luo Jin’an’s gaze. At that moment, the moonlight shined on him, stunning Su Binglan. She rubbed her eyes and softly said, “You’re back.”
Luo Jin’an felt relaxed immediately after seeing his wife. “Yeah, I’m back. Butler Zhou told me you haven’t had dinner yet.”
Su Binglan nodded. “I wanted to wait for you so we could eat together. Oh, I made some milk tea. Try some.”
She passed the milk tea on the desk to her husband, along with a spoon..

Luo Jin’an’s expression softened when he met his wife’s expectant gaze. He took the spoon and scooped the milk tea into his mouth. He became wide-eyed as the sweet taste filled his mouth. It tasted unique and gave him a refreshing feeling.
Su Binglan noticed his expression and eagerly asked, “How is it? Do you like it?”
Luo Jin’an smiled. “It’s tasty and unique. It’s also fragrant.”
Su Binglan was happy to hear it. “I plan on opening a milk tea shop. Since one of the shops you gave me is in the city center and pretty close to home, I’ll use that one.
“Then, we can buy milk tea whenever we want instead of making it ourselves.
The people will also enjoy it because there’s more than this flavor.”
Luo Jin’an smiled and said, “I’m sure the other flavors will taste as good as this one. Everyone will be thrilled to drink milk tea. Even your fruit juice was a hit, let alone milk tea.’
He knew how well the milk tea shop would do. After all, his wife always had a way of doing business. He believed the milk tea would be as popular as everything his wife had previously made.
“Oh, the popsicle should be ready now. We can try it soon.” Su Binglan then called Su Chun and Su Ju over. The duo went to the ice cellar to get the popsicle she had made.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan took out the popsicle and said, “Su Chun, tell Butler Zhou to bring everyone inside. I made a popsicle for each person.”
As the duo went to do their master’s bidding, Su Binglan took two popsicles and went looking for her husband in a hurry. At that moment, Luo Jin’an had just exited the study. He said, “Slow down. Don’t fall.”
His voice was full of affection as he reached out to hold his wife. Su Binglan handed him a popsicle, saying, “Here, have a taste.”
“All right.” Luo Jin’an nodded and smiled. He then took the popsicle and ate it. Immediately after, he looked surprised as he felt his mind and body relax. The popsicle had helped to relieve the summer heat from his body.@@novelbin@@
Luo Jin’an felt the heat around him dissipate when he ate the popsicle. He thought the popsicle was magical as he felt a cool sensation inside his body. The popsicle tasted sweet and fruity, but the sweetness was perfect.
Su Binglan observed her husband’s expression and knew he enjoyed it. She said, “I’ll make some more if you like it. Since it’s summer, you’ll want to eat more of these. We’ll make them ourselves.’
Luo Jin’an sighed. “Thanks for this, Bing.”
Su Binglan shook her head. After all, she enjoyed making such things. That night, she did not sleep early. Since she was in a good mood, she called everyone to make more popsicles.
Everyone had just finished their popsicle and thought it was delicious. They became energetic and motivated when they heard they would make popsicles.
With everyone working together, they finished making popsicles quickly. Moreover, they typically did not sleep early in the summer. When there was nothing to do, everyone would sit in the courtyard after dinner to chat.
They would only go to sleep when the cool wind blew in the middle of the night. Still, everyone was delighted now that they had something to do. The staff at the manor were excited after eating their popsicles.
They did not expect such a thing and wanted to eat a few more. However, Butler Zhou told them not to overeat because they might get sick after having too much. The people of this era had to adapt to such food.
After savoring the taste, their stomachs felt comfortable, They felt the sweltering weather just now, but not anymore.
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua was sweating as she cooked at home in the afternoon. She said, “l wonder if Binglan has gotten used to living in the capital. She’s been there for a long time now.”
Su Fengmao wiped his sweat as he attended to the fire, saying, “Don’t worry.
Binglan often sends us letters, so we know what it’s like in the capital now. I heard she wants to open shops and factories there.”
He knew his daughter could not sit idly by and that she would be busy. As her parents, the older couple could only support their daughter.
Shen Qiuhua said, “It’s not that. We just haven’t seen Binglan in a long time.
I’m not just to it.”
“You’re not the only one who isn’t, dear. Even the villagers aren’t.” Whenever Su Fengmao went out, the villagers often asked if Su Binglan had returned from the capital. Everyone missed her.
Even so, Su Teng Village continued to improve, and the villagers would soon harvest their wheat and sweet potatoes. Everyone looked at the fields and knew their yield would be much higher this year. Their production had doubled, which was exciting.
Shen Qiuhua smiled and said, “Yeah, 1 guess everyone misses her. Still, even though the capital is bustling, I think it’s still not as good as our village. Our Grand Theater is so famous that even people from the surrounding towns visit to watch the plays.
“A new batch of students has enrolled in Wenxiu’s medical school, so more doctors have come to teach them. All the students have to go through an assessment now.
“Also, Wenxiu used the other building Binglan gave him as a large medical center. The treatment and medicine are affordable for the people. I also heard Wenxiu is preparing to open a chain of medical centers. He’ll be even busier.
“When the time comes, he will put his successful students in charge of his medical centers.’
Su Fengmao said, “l don’t understand much of what he’s doing, but 1 know he’s doing a good thing for the people.”
Shen Qiuhua responded, “Of course. Everyone is grateful to Wenxiu and
Binglan.. What do you think about that student of his—that Zi Die girl?”

Su Fengmao was stunned, saying, “Well, Zi Die’s an outstanding student. I heard she was first in both medicine and surgery in the last assessment.”@@novelbin@@
Shen Qiuhua looked at her clueless husband and shook her head helplessly. “Why don’t you know what I’m talking about?”
“Huh, what do you mean?” Su Fengmao was confused because he had many things going on. Still, his daughter had many subordinates who were in charge of the factories.
Although the older couple no longer had to worry about the shops and factories, Su Fengmao still visited them whenever he had the time. He would even help his uncle, Chief Su, do some work.
Since Su Teng Village never stopped improving, people continued to move there. Chief Su had sold all of the residential houses in the village’s development zone, including the newly developed residential area in town.
Anyone could tell how popular Su Teng Village and Tenghe Town had become.
Of course, there were many attractions in Su Teng Village, and many people would visit Chief Su to discuss things.
Su Fengmao would help his uncle whenever he got too busy. Therefore, Su Fengmao had a lot on his mind and could not keep up with what his wife meant.
The former continued, “Wenxiu has to worry about the medical school. I don’t know what you’re saying. Why are you overthinking?”
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua knew men thought differently from women, so she could only whisper helplessly, “l just feel Wenxiu treats Zi Die differently. Do you think they’re…”
She weighed her words, thinking she should not speak rashly. Although the Su Teng villagers were straightforward and had good thoughts, the relationship between student and teacher was still bizarre to outsiders.
Su Fengmao naturally asked, “Do I think they what? She’s a good student, so it’s only natural for Wenxiu to treat her differently. Teachers like good students, after all.
“Fengchen was brilliant in his school days, and his headmaster paid more attention to him.’
Shen Qiuhua added noodles to the pot and said, “You really don’t understand what I’m trying to say, do you? I’m trying to ask if Wenxiu likes Zi Die.”
She felt it was the other way around in that Zi Die liked Su Wenxiu. However, Shen Qiuhua felt she could not say that. Besides, her son was good to Zi Die, and she could feel he was exceptionally gentle toward her.
It once poured outside, and Shen Qiuhua happened to see Su Wenxiu carrying Zi Die on his back. It seemed Zi Die had a sprained ankle at that time. Shen
Qiuhua also witnessed her son teaching Zi Die how to make medicinal dishes.
Su Wenxiu’s voice was gentle at that time, but Shen Qiuhua had never seen him behave like that toward anyone before. She felt her son might be pretty attractive to younger ladies.
Su Wenxiu had even opened a medicinal cuisine restaurant, and business was booming. Zi Die also helped manage the restaurant and even developed a recipe for one of the herbal dishes. The two seemed to work exceptionally well together.
As a mother, Shen Qiuhua could not help overthink their relationship.
Upon hearing his wife’s words, Su Fengmao stopped tending to the fire and said, “Oh, so that’s what you meant. But they have a student-teacher relationship. Others might start gossiping if they knew about this.”
Ads by Pubfuture After some consideration, he continued, “Still, our family isn’t old-fashioned.
We, as parents, should support our children as long as they’re happy. Isn’t
Wenwu doing well now, too?”
Su Wenwu’s business in the south was in full swing since he went there with Ye Feiran.
There were no more wars and civil strife in Chu Country since Lan Ruozhu became the emperor. He even quickly established a courier station in the south, so Su Wenwu would often send letters to his family.
Since that was the case, Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua knew how he was doing. Although some did not know Su Wenwu’s true identity, they knew he was an excellent businessman who became popular in the South.
Everyone liked Su Wenwu and even more so the delicacies he had introduced to the South.
Shen Qiuhua nodded. “You’re right. We should support our children as long as it makes them happy.”
She felt Zi Die had a lively personality and spoke sweetly. While the older couple chatted, a voice came from the door, “Mr. Fengmao, are you home?”
The person’s voice was loud and clear. Su Fengmao immediately recognized it, saying, “It’s Xiao Liu from the courier station. He must have a delivery for us.” The couriers recognized the Su family and were highly familiar with them. Therefore, they would prioritize delivering the family’s parcels. People would even tell the Su family about their packages before the staff could.
Su Fengmao bolted to his feet and said, “I’ll collect the parcel.”
“Go ahead. I wonder what we got. It must be from Wenwu or Binglan.”
Ads by Pubfuture The family even received many anonymous letters and parcels because everyone was grateful to them. Some even sent their specialties to the family.
Since Su Fengmao and the family were too shy to receive these things, the senders would deliver the items anonymously. Therefore, the older couple felt warm inside whenever they received parcels.
Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua knew their children did many meaningful things. They were happy because Su Teng Village did not stop improving.
Before collecting the parcel, Su Fengmao gave a few pieces of cut watermelons to Xiao Liu. The latter was embarrassed, saying, “Mr. Fengmao, I can’t accept these.’
“Just take these. You went through so much trouble to deliver this parcel.”
Xiao Liu was delighted. When he took the parcel to deliver it to Su Fengmao, the other staff members fought to take over. They knew Su Fengmao would offer them food whenever they delivered the parcels.
Since it was summer, he would offer them watermelons because they were sweet and refreshing.
“You have a package from the capital, Mr. Fengmao.”
Su Fengmao lit up when he heard that. He knew it must be from his daughter. “All right, thank you!’
When Xiao Liu left, the older man hurried inside and realized how heavy the package was. He opened the box and saw many popsicles inside, muttering, “What are these?”
“They look cold. They must be a new food Binglan made.” Shen Qiuhua looked over curiously.
The couple was puzzled because the box looked like the inside of an ice cellar. Still, the couple knew it was something good, even though they had never seen it before.
“There’s a letter, too,” Su Fengmao said, “Let’s read it to find out what these are. ”
After reading the letter, he said, “These are popsicles. It’s something to eat in the summer because it helps to relieve the heat. Binglan made these for us to eat. ”
Shen Qiuhua forgot about eating her noodles when she heard that. She and her husband took a popsicle each and ate them.
“Ah, it’s so delicious.’
“Yeah, it’s incredible!”
Su Fengmao was sweating when he went to collect the package, but after eating the popsicle, his whole body cooled down..

Shen Qiuhua was shocked. “l didn’t expect this to taste so delicious, especially during the summer heat.”
She did not have much of an appetite because it was so hot, but her entire body cooled down when she ate the popsicle. She felt refreshed.
Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao did not have time to talk. The older couple ate happily and could not stop praising the popsicle.
“It relieves the heat on such a hot day.”
Previously, the family would eat watermelons to cool themselves down. However, they felt the popsicle tasted better.
During summer, people would take cold showers to cool themselves down.
Even so, the effect would not last long because the water would evaporate. Su Fengmao ate one popsicle and then picked up another.
Shen Qiuhua said, “Binglan said we shouldn’t overeat. She said we can only have two a day.”
“Then let’s have two for lunch and some watermelon for dinner.”
Shen Qiuhua lamented, “We couldn’t even bear to eat watermelon in the past.”
When the family harvested their watermelons at that time, they would sell them in town. On such hot days, they would stand at their stall under the blazing sun to sell watermelons.
Ads by Pubfuture It was so hot that they would sweat all over. Still, they could not bear to eat the watermelon because they needed to sell them for profit. Although it was tough back then, things had changed.
The family could eat watermelon and drink fruit juice every day. Moreover, the watermelons this year were especially sweet.
Su Fengmao felt guilty. “I made you suffer in the past.”
Shen Qiuhua shook her head. “No, you were the one who went to town to sell watermelons back then. Your face was red from the hot sun. I remember how sunburnt you were when you came home.”@@novelbin@@
Her heart ached at that time. However, they no longer had to suffer because they had money. Every household in the village had improved. Even if people went to sell things in town, they would bring a parasol they bought from the embroidery shop to block the sun.
Parasols were convenient to use and carry around because they were foldable. The villagers no longer needed to sell their watermelons in town. People would come to them to buy some.
Afterward, couriers would send the watermelons to Flower County to be processed and turned into juice. It was convenient for the villagers.
The villagers could sell their fruits immediately after plucking them from the ground. They had nothing to worry about, so everyone was willing to sow more seeds and plant more fruits.
No matter what they planted, there would always be people who were willing to buy them. The villagers were also about to harvest their wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
Some were willing to sell those things. Someone from the county government would be in charge of collecting them. The officials would not haggle the villagers, either. They would even pay the villagers on the spot.
Lan Ruozhu emphasized agriculture when he became the emperor. He ordered officials from all over the country to purchase grain at market prices. The Imperial Court would also manage the granaries of all regions.
As for the high-yield crops in Suteng Village and the prefecture, Lan Ruozhu had his people purchase them. He planned to distribute these seeds everywhere else so that they could continue to grow high-yield crops.
That way, the country’s food reserves would continue to grow. Even the commoners would have more to eat. Everything would develop in a good direction. By then, everyone in the country could eat their fill and more. Lan Ruozhu wanted to be the best emperor, one who would prioritize his people. Only then would he feel he had done something meaningful.
Su Wenxiu became even busier as the dean, especially after another batch of students enrolled.
Ads by Pubfuture Although the medical school was in the village, he did not have time to eat at home. Instead, he would just eat a simple meal at school.
This time, he just happened to settle the new students in and prepared to go home for lunch. After exiting the school, Su Wenxiu walked along a spacious avenue.
The village roads were not only vast now but also paved with cement. The villagers would no longer have to worry about muddy roads if it rained or snowed.
Many visitors were amazed and envious when they saw the cement roads. Although the cement factory was in the prefecture, Lan Ruozhu owned it. He had the final say on where to send the cement and where to use it.
Su Teng Village was the first to get cement. The surrounding villages and Tenghe Town also had cement roads. Teng County looked brand new, and many were curious about cement. They would visit Su Teng Village just to take a look.
When Su Wenxiu reached home, he saw his parents sitting and eating something. Whenever he went home for lunch, the older couple would either be cooking or waiting for his return.
However, Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua did not notice his return this time as their attention was only on the popsicle. Su Wenxiu was stunned, asking, “What are you two eating?”
Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua returned to their senses when they heard their son’s voice. “Oh, you’re back!”
“What are those?” Su Wenxiu could tell from his parents’ expressions that the things they were eating were tasty. Still, he had never seen such a thing before. He felt it was magical when he saw the mist coming from the popsicle.
Shen Qiuhua hurriedly passed a popsicle to Su Wenxiu. “Here, try one. Your sister made these. She calls them popsicles.”
Su Fengmao happily added, “These things are so tasty and help to relieve the heat in our bodies.’
Su Wenxiu could not wait to eat the popsicles when he heard that his sister had made them. After taking a bite, a cool feeling spread from his teeth to his mouth.
“Mmm! It’s so refreshing!” Su Wenxiu was stunned. The coldness entered his stomach and then spread through his entire body. He felt all the heat from his body dissipate. It felt different from eating watermelon.
Shen Qiuhua smiled, saying, “How is it? It’s delicious, isn’t it?”
Su Wenxiu nodded. “Of course, it is.’
He could not help but think of Zi Die when he ate the popsicle. Whenever he ate something new and delicious, he would always want Zi Die to try it, too.
Su Wenxiu asked, “Sister sent these over, right?”
Shen Qiuhua looked at his expression and smiled. “That’s right. Someone from the courier office sent these over just now. There’s a big box of popsicles. You can take a popsicle to the academy when you return to work later..

Naturally, Shen Qiuhua understood her son’s thoughts. She knew he probably wanted to give one of the popsicles to Zi Die.
Su Wenxiu was stunned, wondering how his mother understood his thoughts so well. However, he did not think his mother knew about him treating Zi Die differently.
Although the customs in Su Teng Village were better and no longer too conservative, people could not help but discuss student-teacher relationships. Su Wenxiu had not considered how he would tell his parents about Zi Die.
Still, he treated her as a student. Perhaps he would look at her differently when she became an adult. His mind even started to race when he thought about what Zi Die had told him.
Su Wenxiu did not realize how gentle he looked whenever he thought about her. Shen Qiuhua noticed it and became even more confident in her judgment. As a mother, she could always understand her children’s thoughts.
Soon, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin returned home with their sons. As soon as they entered, Su Wenzhe said, “Father, Mother, we’re home!”
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai followed suit. “Hello, Grandma and Grandpa! Hello, Uncle Wenxiu!”
Su Wenxiu put down the popsicle and went out to carry the two boys, one in each arm.
“Can you even carry us, Uncle Wenxiu,” Su Xuexuan said.
Su Wenxiu helplessly said, “Do you think I’m not strong enough, you brat? Still, I think you two have grown taller now. I’ll need more strength to carry both of you.”
Although Su Wenxiu often practiced martial arts to strengthen himself, Su Xuexuan was seven, and Su Xuehai was five. Indeed, it was not easy to carry both in each arm.
Ads by Pubfuture When Su Wenxiu carried Su Xuehai, the latter hugged his uncle and turned to face his grandparents.
Shen Qiuhua noticed the little ones’ school bags and asked in confusion, “Why are you carrying your school bags when it’s still the afternoon?”
“Blue Mountain Academy is starting its summer break,” Liu Yinyin explained, “That means they won’t have school for a while.”
“Is that a holiday?” Shen Qiuhua was stunned. “I’ve never heard of a summer vacation before.’
Liu Yinyin continued, “Mr. Kong says the school will have summer and winter vacations. Each one will last for a month so the students can rest. Mr. Kong told us the emperor and princess set these rules.
“All the academies will carry out corresponding reforms so students will have a balance of rest and study.”
Since the emperor and princess arranged these things, it must be Lan Ruozhu and Su Binglan.
Su Fengmao said, “I think that’s an excellent idea. Xuexuan and Xuehai can have a good holiday. I know it’s hard to study on such hot days. They can return to school once the weather cools down. Then they’ll have better focus.” Shen Qiuhua nodded. “You’re right. It’s hard to focus when it’s so hot.”@@novelbin@@
Su Wenzhe looked outside, saying, “It’s extra hot this year, so it’s good that they can stay home.”
He then scooped a bucket of water from the courtyard to wash his face and cool himself down. “Father, Mother, have you cut the watermelons? We should have some to refresh ourselves.’
Su Wenzhe and his wife were typically in charge of the noodle shop, but SU Binglan had arranged for one of her subordinates to take over. Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin felt much more relaxed now.
The couple could rest at home when they had nothing to do. Still, they could help at the noodle shop if they were bored. Su Binglan had arranged it that way so her family could rest more.
After all, her businesses and factories were constantly expanding. Indeed, it was challenging to let her family help out at all times. Thus, Su Binglan entrusted most of the work to her subordinates.
Since it was noon, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin could go home for lunch whenever they wanted to. Unlike when they were busy, they did not even have time to go home for dinner.
Ads by Pubfuture The noodle shop’s business bloomed, and they had hired a group of people to work. Although they had even expanded the shop, the supply still barely met the demands.
The shop supplied instant noodles and hot and dry noodles all over Chu Country. Merchants from all over would visit the village just to purchase such goods.
Previously, merchants from other provinces were unable to come to Dingzhou to purchase goods because of the chaos in various places. However, things were different after Lan Ruozhu took over as the emperor.
The country was peaceful, and the various states were recuperating. There were many things to do, and the merchants could travel freely. They knew about all the unique things in Su Teng Village, so they came to stock up.
Since that was the case, Su Teng Village was lively in the morning and at night. The village’s development site had become a prosperous economic area and a transportation hub.
Moreover, it was convenient to transport goods by land and canal. Many people even came and went. Su Teng Village’s development site and the inn in Tenghe Town played a significant role in this.
Since the inn was not open yet, people from other places began to stay in the villagers’ houses. Therefore, even Willow Village and Stone Village became tourist destinations.
Since some did not have an inn to stay in, they would stay in the villagers’ houses. Of course, the village chiefs would discuss it with the villagers in advance.
If anyone were willing to provide accommodations, they would register with the village chiefs. Outsiders even had to go through an identity check before they could stay at the villagers’ houses.
Since these rules were in place, there was no need to worry about safety. The surrounding villagers would also earn more income. That was why everyone was smiling all the time.
Shen Qiuhua told Su Wenzhe, “These are better than watermelon. Your sister made these popsicles and sent them to us. Your father and I were just eating these just now.”
Upon hearing that, Su Wenzhe knew the popsicles would be delicious. He quickly took one and bit into it. He stammered, “Th-this is just like ice, but it’s sweet.”
After recovering from his shock, he took another bite and said, “No, it’s different from ice cubes. It’s fruity and soft. Ah, it’s so cooling, too.”
He was so excited that he could almost cry. The heat from his body disappeared, and he felt cold all of a sudden.
Shen Qiuhua even gave Liu Yinyin and the two little ones a popsicle each. “You guys have one, too, but don’t eat too fast. It’s not good for your stomach. Eat them slowly to relieve the heat.
“We’ll have some noodles after we eat the popsicles. I made pickled fish noodles for lunch.” She had grown accustomed to cooking in the summer whenever she got bored.
Pickled cabbage and fish noodles could quickly whet one’s appetite. Moreover, the Su family enjoyed eating, so Shen Qiuhua made a lot.
Even the noodle shops on the food street sold pickled cabbage and fish noodles. It was a popular dish, let alone the other noodle dishes..

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.
Ads by Pubfuture 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.@@novelbin@@
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.”
Ads by Pubfuture 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.”
Ads by Pubfuture “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..”

Su Fengchen looked gentle and affectionate when he mentioned his wife. It was evident he and Miao Zhizhi loved each other very much.
Old Madam Su smiled with joy when she noticed her son’s expression. She felt at ease that he had an excellent relationship with Miao Zhizhi. The older woman was still energetic and could help the young couple care for their unborn child.
Old Master Su was making toys beside her with a smile on his face. He felt the wooden toys he made himself would be more meaningful than the ones he could buy.
At that moment, Shen Qiuhua arrived with the popsicles. “Hello, everyone.” “Sister-in-law!” Su Fengchen greeted Shen Qiuhua respectfully. After all, he was much younger than his brothers. Shen Qiuhua had already married Su Fengmao when Su Fengchen was still a child.
Shen Qiuhua had watched Su Fengchen grow. To the latter, she was like his biological sister. Su Fengchen was always happy to see his sister-in-law. Moreover, he would not be where he is now without his niece’s help.
The older couple quickly put down their things and stood up. “Hello there, Qiuhua. Aren’t you feeling hot on such a sunny day?”
Shen Qiuhua smiled. “No, I’m not. Binglan sent some snacks over that can relieve the heat. I came to give some to you. Try them.”
She brought a box to the stone bench under the tree as she spoke. The older couple’s eves lit up, thinking whatever their granddaughter made would be delicious. They looked excited.
Old Madam Su asked curiously, “What are those? It would be great if there were food to relieve the heat.’
Eating regular food during summer always made her feel hot all over. Although the family had fruit juice and fresh water in the well, they still looked forward to eating whatever Su Binglan made.
Even Su Fengchen went to the bench to look at the items in the box. The family genuinely missed Su Binglan.
Ads by Pubfuture Shen Qiuhua was happy when she noticed everyone’s expectant expressions. Now that the Su family’s living conditions were good, they could eat together as often as possible. Shen Qiuhua felt warm and fuzzy inside when she thought about it.
“These are the popsicles Binglan made, Eating these will cool you down and make you feel refreshed. They’re different from iced fruit juice. Try them. Still, Zhizhi should avoid eating these because they’re frozen treats. She should be fine to eat one or two mouthfuls, but that’s it.’
Su Fengchen would not let his wife eat anything frozen. However, he would cook various dishes for her to whet her appetite. He said, “So these are popsicles? It looks like there’s a mist coming from them.”
“It looks like ice but also not like ice. Still, it looks enticing.” Old Madam Su could not wait to try the frozen treats.
“Quick, have a taste, everyone.”
“All right then.” The older woman smiled and bit into the popsicle. After just a bite, she exclaimed, “Wow, this is tasty! It makes my stomach all cool inside.
Its sweetness is just right, and it tastes fruity.”
Old Master Su was full of praise, too, “Everything Binglan makes is tasty. Although every dish is different, they’re all delicious. But why does the popsicle taste a little milky?”
Su Binglan had previously obtained a spiritual cow at the border province. However, she got someone to bring the cow to the village when she went to the capital.
She knew Miao Zhizhi was pregnant and asked her parents to give the cow to Su Fengchen. That way, he could make milk for his wife daily. After all, it was good for her health and the baby’s development.
Su Binglan also told her grandparents to drink the milk and that it was good for their health.
Soon after, Old Madam Su also said, “It smells a little like milk. It’s fresh and doesn’t smell bad, either.’
Shen Qiuhua explained, “Binglan used milk and fruits to make these popsicles. ”@@novelbin@@
Ads by Pubfuture Old Master Su nodded. “If we could produce these things in a factory, they would be popular, especially since it’s summer. I’m sure people will rush to buy these.”
“It’ll be time to harvest the wheat in a few days,” Su Fengchen said, “It’ll be hot when we begin harvesting. Eating one of these will help us tremendously.”
He looked toward the village fields and saw a large area of wheat and sweet potatoes. Since it was harvest season, the villagers were excited and looked forward to a bumper harvest.
Anyone could tell just by looking at the densely packed fields of wheat. Everyone was happy whenever they went to check out the fields. Even though everyone worked in factories, they still hoped for a bountiful harvest.
The villagers attached great importance to the harvests. It was a habit they had developed long ago. The villagers had a profound affection for the land. They could all sleep comfortably, knowing their crops grew well.
After some thought, Shen Qiuhua said, “I’ll write to Binglan soon and ask if she can open a popsicle factory. That way, the villagers can have these, too.”
Shen Qiuhua had nothing much to do since the paper mill and printing factory were on the right track. Moreover, Su Binglan’s subordinates were in charge of the other factories.
If Shen Qiuhua knew how to make popsicles, she could help run a factory.
After all, she had managed the tofu factory, paper mill, and printing factory. She had accumulated an abundance of experience.
There were many factories in Su Teng Village’s development site. Still, there was an empty factory there that the family could use to make popsicles.
“Everyone will be happy to eat these things.” Old Madam Su was proud of her granddaughter for creating popsicles.
At that moment, Miao Zhizhi heard the chatter outside and came out. She called out sweetly, “Hi, Sister-in-law!”
Shen Qiuhua strode forward to help Miao Zhizhi. “Slow down. You’re pregnant, remember? Don’t come outside since it’s so hot.”
Miao Zhizhi smiled. “Don’t worry. Wenxiu checked my pulse earlier and told me 1 was in perfect health. He also said it would be good if I walked more.”
She looked around and felt warm inside. She loved her home and felt happy every day. She also cherished her new family as the village completely differed from the Miao Border.
Shen Qiuhua explained, “Binglan sent us some popsicles to relieve the heat, but they’re frozen treats. I don’t think you should eat them.”
“I understand, Sister-in-law,” Miao Zhizhi said, “I’ll eat these after I give birth and after my confinement..”

Miao Zhizhi watched her diet because she cared a lot about her unborn child. She looked forward to raising her child with her husband. Therefore, she disciplined herself and did not eat what she was not supposed to.
Still, she was content because she had tasted many delicacies before. She knew she could eat more after giving birth.
Shen Qiuhua liked Miao Zhizhi’s personality, and they had an excellent relationship. The former said, “Binglan will make more when you give birth and are out of confinement. You can eat whatever you want then.”
Old Madam Su asked curiously, “Did Binglan make anything else this time?”
Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “Binglan mentioned something about crayfish and crabs in her letter. I barely understood it, but she said those things were delicious.
“Wenwu sent her those ingredients from the south. Binglan cooked them for the people at the Wei Manor. She might make them for us when she returns.”
Although Shen Qiuhua had never eaten crayfish and crab before, she knew they would be delicious.
“Of course,” Old Madam Su said, “Binglan’s cooking is always the best.”
She knew the other old ladies envied her for having Su Binglan as a granddaughter. Her precious granddaughter knew many things and could even cook countless dishes.
Su Binglan had also brought fame and fortune to the surrounding towns. Since she had become the princess, she made the Su family royalty.
Old Madam Su never expected to eat so many unique dishes in her life. The old woman was full of expectations for life, looking forward to her family living and eating well.
After chatting for a while, Shen Qiuhua went to Su Fengzhang and Ding Wan’s house.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Fengzhang and Su Wenxian were still in charge of the winery, but the duo had a manager to help. Previously, Su Binglan had emphasized that everyone had to rest at noon.
Since the duo would rest for two hours before working in the afternoon, they were at home that afternoon. Su Fengzhang, his wife, and his son were sitting under the shade in their courtyard at that moment.
Many households had trees in their courtyard. After all, trees could shade them from the summer sun. Ding Wan’s house was at the back of the village, and the wind from the mountain blew over, cooling the family down.
The family even had a bottle of fruit juice beside them as they sat in the courtyard. They had just taken the bottle out of the ice cellar, so it was even more refreshing.
The villagers would do the same when they bought fruit juice for themselves. They would soak the bottles in the well water and drink them whenever they cooled down. That way, the juice could relieve the heat from their bodies.
Su Fengzhang and his wife stood up when they heard the footsteps nearby.
Ding Wan smiled when she saw Shen Qiuhua, addressing her, “Hello there, Qiuhua.”
“It looks like you’re enjoying the shade there, Sister-in-law,” Shen Qiuhua replied.
“Yeah, it was too hot just now, and 1 couldn’t sleep. Since that’s the case, 1 came outside to enjoy the breeze. Thanks again for the fruit juice. It soothed me when I drank it.’
Fruit juice had become everyone’s favorite drink, young and old. Whenever they entertained guests in the past, only the men would drink wine, and the women would drink water.
However, young and old men and women began enjoying fruit juice together since Su Binglan introduced it to everyone. Although people could not simply buy fruit juice because the demand was too high, the Su family could.
That was the benefit of being a member of the Su family. Everyone was envious because of that.
Ding Wan could not stop smiling since settling her son’s marriage. Shen Qiuhua smiled, saying, “I brought you guys something new. These are the popsicles Binglan made. Here, try them to relieve the heat.”
Su Fengzhang and Ding were amazed when she revealed the popsicles. They felt those things would be better than fruit juice. The older couple could not stop praising the popsicles.
Shen Qiuhua said, “Binglan will send us more next time. I’ll suggest that she opens a popsicle factory. Still, I’ll have to discuss the details with her.”
Ads by Pubfuture Ding Wan replied, “The delicacies your daughter develops are always consistently tasty. I sent some of Binglan’s delicacies to Sushui and her family.
They were delighted.”
Teng Sushui was Su Wenxian’s fiancee, and their wedding would occur in the autumn. Ding Wan continued, “They even liked our braised sausages, juices, and instant noodles.
“l prepared quite a few dishes for them. When they visited us, 1 brought them to the food street to eat. I plan to give Wenxian and Sushui a new house after their wedding. They can even live with me and my husband if they want. “They can choose whichever they want. After all, they’ll still be in the village anyway.”
The new house Ding Wan spoke of was in the residential area Su Binglan had built. The latter had left several houses for her family to use. Ding Wan and her husband had discussed giving a new house to their son and daughter-in-law. The house was expansive. Even Teng Sushui’s parents could live there.
Su Fengzhang said, “Wenxian said he’s already discussed it with Sushui. He’s coming to have dinner with us later. Even if he sleeps in his new home after work, he’ll visit and stay here on his days off.”
“That’s great!” Ding Wan said smilingly. As parents, the older couple liked having their son around as much as possible. Although they were happy to be busy for a while, they had to think more about their son.
Su Wenxian and Teng Sushui would feel more comfortable if they had their space. Still, it was good that he planned to visit his parents during his days off.
Shen Qiuhua happily said, “That means Sushui is sensible.”
Ding Wan nodded in satisfaction. “Sushui is lively and has a good heart. Her parents are reasonable, and their living conditions are respectable. They don’t care about how much betrothal gifts we give. They’re easy-going and easy to get along with.”
“That’s wonderful news.” Shen Qiuhua was genuinely happy for Ding Wan.
“When they have a child, you can help care for them.”
Ding Wan smiled when she thought about it. “You’re right. Things at the winery are right on track now, so Wenxian and Fengzhang aren’t as busy as before. Fengzhang and I can help take care of the children so our son and daughter-in-law can relax a little.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “By the way, the pearl you gave me last time was gorgeous.”
Ding Wan nodded. “Sushui says her parents have plenty of new and exciting things on their island. Let’s go inside. I’ll show you what we got from them.”
She pulled Shen Qiuhua into the house as she spoke. She then showed Shen Qiuhua the things Teng Sushui and her family had sent. “We received these things over the past few days. I placed them all on the table because I think they look good as decorations.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at the items with bright eyes, saying, “They’re beautiful! They’re different from the decorations we have here.”
Ding Wan said expectantly, “Their island has shells and pearls. Wenxian said he’ll bring me and Fengzhang to Sushui’s family’s island when it’s not so hot. I haven’t lived on the island before, so I wonder what it’s like.’@@novelbin@@
“It’s good that you get to travel,” Shen Qiuhua said, “You can also broaden your horizons..

“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.@@novelbin@@
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..
