Su Xue was immersed in making clothes in front of the sewing machine. The other three brothers and sisters were not at home. Before going out, she said she was going to the new house to do some cleaning. Su Baoer followed the two brothers in a hurry.
Su Xue is the only one in the family.
In a quiet environment, she made clothes much faster.
There were several pieces of fabric placed on the cupboard on one side, which she brought back from the supply and marketing cooperative to make samples and sell in the shop she rented in the town.
Someone shouted outside the warehouse, and Su Xue recognized Su Qingbai's voice. She stopped what she was doing, stood up from the sewing machine and walked over.
"dad?"
Su Qingbai's clothes were stained with some yellow mud, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. From this look, it was obvious that he had just returned from work. He didn't know what kind of work he had done.
"What are your clothes?"
"Oh, I was just pulling weeds at the new house and accidentally got some yellow mud on it." Su Qingbai smiled and patted the dirt on his body. Only then did Su Xue see that his palms were a little red, which showed that he was really pulling out the weeds.
That's too much.
"You can just leave those things for me to take care of when I have time. How did you get there?"
Su Xue said this with a guilty conscience, because even if she kept it, it would not be her who would take care of it, but He Qingdong or Su Xiaolong. But no matter who it was, they could not let Su Qingbai's hands hold test tubes for experiments.
Go and clean up.
Su Qingbai waved his hand indifferently.
"It's okay, it's okay. Dad also grows vegetables at the base."
"dad……"
"It's okay. You can still exercise by doing some work." Su Qingbai smiled gently, not minding his current image at all. "By the way, I came back to get the hoe and knife. Where are the hoe and knife at home? You put them
Find them for me."
"In this room, I'll give it to dad." Su Xue turned around and went to the utility room to take out the hoe and hatchet, and asked Su Qingbai what she wanted with these.
Su Qingbai didn't hide it either.
"I see that the open space in the backyard of my new home has not been plowed yet. I happened to have nothing to do so I went over and plowed the land. In two days, I can plant vegetables. Then you will have vegetables to eat."
"dad……"
Su Xue's voice was a little choked.
Forgive her because she is an easily moved person. Especially after so many things happened, Su Qingbai's love for her has never changed, and she was even more moved.
"Silly girl, why do you want to cry now?" Su Qingbai smiled and pinched Su Xue's cheek: "Don't forget that you will get married in two days. It is not good to cry all the time."
"What if we have a grandchild in the future and her mother still cries more than she does?"
"dad……"
Su Xue was originally very moved and wanted to cry, but when Su Qingbai said this, and then thought of herself crying with her child, she felt shy and funny.
If that day comes, will He Qingdong coax the child or her first?
Su Xue suddenly realized that her idea was a bit dangerous, and she quickly shook her head.
"It's too early to talk about having children."
"It's getting late, your mother and I..." Su Qingbai paused and then said, "Your aunt and I gave birth to your eldest brother when we were nineteen..."
After what happened in the morning, Su Qingbai also felt that it was inappropriate for Su Xue to call Zhao Meifen her mother. He didn't know whether Zhao Meifen was ashamed or not. In short, he was very ashamed.
As the father and daughter chatted, they both tacitly avoided Zhao Meifen and did not mention it. They saw the postman coming towards them from a distance.
"Su Xue, is there someone named Su Xue here?"
The postman took out two thick letters from the green mail bag. Su Xue walked over quickly: "Hello, comrade, I am Su Xue."
"Su Xue, right?"
The postman glanced at Su Xue, with surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Here is your letter."
"Uh...Okay, okay, thank you, comrade."
Su Xue quickly thanked her and politely asked the postman to come home for a drink of water. However, the postman waved his hand and refused. Hongqi Village is very big, and there are a lot of letters sent from outside. In addition, after the postman has delivered the letters here, he still has to go home.
He had no time to waste as he went to the village, or even to the inner villages.
Watching the postman come and go in a hurry, Su Xue held the heavy letter and was very grateful.
"Is this from your eldest and second brother?"
Su Qingbai saw the handwriting on the envelope and recognized it as his son's handwriting.
Su Xue also recognized it.
"Well, Dad, do you want to see it?"
"Why should I show you this? Open it and see what they say. These two brats couldn't come back even after such a big incident happened at home. Don't be angry with them."
"No dad."
Su Xue smiled and opened the letter in front of Su Qingbai. In addition to the thick letter paper, there was also a remittance slip.
She picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was eight hundred yuan.
"dad……"
Su Xue felt that the remittance order was very hot and wanted to give it to Su Qingbai.
Su Qingbai waved his hand, "This is the money your brother and others gave you, you keep it."
"But dad..."
"It's nothing special, just keep it and see what your second brother said."
Su Qingbai's attitude was firm. Su Xue could not force the remittance slip to Su Qingbai. She could only accept it first and then start reading the letter.
The letter was written two months ago, with strong handwriting. It was full of greetings and worries. I was worried that Su Xue would not be accustomed to living in the village, worried that she would be bullied, worried that she would not have enough to eat and sleep well...
The letters written by the two brothers are all similar. They are full of concern for her and expressed between the lines. It doesn't matter even if they are not biological brothers and sisters, the relationship between them has already transcended blood ties...
Su Xue wanted to cry again.
In the eldest brother's letter, there was also a letter written by the eldest brother's partner to Su Xue.
What she was talking about was some private talk between her daughters. Su Xue looked at it twice and her face turned red. She raised her head and looked at Su Qingbai on the side.
"What's wrong? What did the boss say?"
Su Xue gave all the letters in her hand to Su Qingbai except the one from her future sister-in-law.
"This...is written for me by my eldest brother."
Su Qingbai understood.
"Well, your eldest brother is studying medicine. You can write more letters to her in the future."
"I know dad."
Su Qingbai roughly scanned the letters from her two sons and made sure that their thoughts were the same as hers. Then she returned the letters to Su Xue and asked her to put them away.
"I'm going to work."
"Dad, please take your time and don't get too tired."
"Don't worry, your dad and I are young."
Su Qingbai waved to Su Xue and strode away with the hoe.
On the other side, Su Qi, who was far away in the army, did not receive Zhao Meifen's call in time. Zhao Meifen did not give up and called her second son again.
Su Chen, who had just returned from training, heard someone calling, and immediately stood up and left the infirmary.
"Hey, Battalion Commander Su, Battalion Commander Su, your injury hasn't been taken care of yet!" the female soldier called repeatedly and trotted over.
Su Chen had tall legs and walked very fast. It didn't take long for him to throw away the little nurse who was following him and walk to the place where he answered the phone.
Before she picked up the phone and could speak, the sound of Zhao Meifen's whimpering sounded on the phone.
Su Chen's untreated wound hurt even more. He hissed and took a breath.
