Chapter 131 I May Have to Find Two Children
After Lin Yue Niang left, Su Man looked at Wang Dagui, who had not spoken since he entered the door.
"Brother Dagui, you are old enough to get married, why don't you think about finding a good girl to marry?"
Wang Dagui's face flashed with disappointment, and then he shook his head slightly and said,
"It's not that easy. My brother and I don't have parents. We've always been the type who can barely make ends meet. Without any help from our parents, who would be willing to marry their daughter to us?"
"Why not? Don't you have stable jobs now? I think if I find you a girl to marry at this time, as long as you treat her well after marriage, it shouldn't be difficult to find one, right?"
Wang Dagui paused, then shook his head.
"No, I...I don't have any idea yet. I'll talk about it when I have one."
"Really? Do you have someone you like? If so, you can tell me. Aunt Mei and Aunt Cui would be happy to help you propose marriage."
"No need!" Wang Dagui was not sure what Su Man said that surprised him, so his face turned pale and he said this excitedly.
Because the sound was quite loud, some people in the store looked over.
"I'm leaving first. I'm a little tired. I want to go back to the store to rest. If you need anything, come find me." After he said this, he glanced at the direction where Lin Yue Niang left, and then left in a hurry.
Su Man stroked her chin and watched Wang Dagui flee. Oh, her thought really came true, and her guess was right.
However, it still seems a bit tricky.
But it can't be said to be tricky, it's just that some people can't get over it psychologically and are afraid of Aunt May.
Anyway, everything is on track now, and she has nothing to do anyway, so she might as well do something good.
Su Man walked towards Lin Yueniang and the others' embroidery room.
Fu Si and Fu Qi looked at each other, and it seemed that the lady had something else to do.
Su Man explained some things inside before coming out, because she had to go back to the village tomorrow and there were some things she needed to explain clearly.
Finally, she went to Youran Residence again and told Fu Fu that she would return to the village to stay for two days. She asked Fu Fu to help keep an eye on Xiaqiu Tower and Xiaqiu Pavilion, and told Fu Fu not to deal with everything unless he could not handle it.
This is also an assessment she gave. She can't be in the town every day, so she has to train these people so that they can stand on their own.
After giving instructions for everything, they slowly walked back to Xiaqiu Building.
Su Man glanced at the second floor, but finally did not go up. She just said to Fu Si and Fu Qi,
"Okay, let's get ready. We will go back to the village early tomorrow morning and stay in the village for two more days."
On the one hand, I wanted to get the house ready as soon as possible when I got back, and on the other hand, I wanted to talk to Old Man Fan about the next plan.
Old Man Fan had said that he would follow her wherever she went, so she would definitely not abandon the old man. She would just explain the pros and cons of the matter to the old man, and the final choice would be up to the old man himself.
The next morning, Su Man and the other two packed some things and returned to the village.
After so many days, the house is almost finished and the wall is being built.
That’s right, Su Man surrounded both the old house and the new house with walls, so the privacy will be relatively higher.
Watching her own room slowly being built, Su Man felt a sense of pride.
Originally, Su Man thought that in addition to a sense of pride, there should also be a sense of belonging, but now she found that she didn't have that. She thought, maybe someone hasn't come back yet, but they will meet soon.
Old Man Fan was also very happy to see them back, and he immediately began to excitedly tell her what had happened during this period and the progress of the house.
"It's almost finished now. I asked Xiao Li, and he said it will be finished in five days at most, and we can move in after cleaning up. But your house is so big, and there are so many rooms. It's quite lonely with just a few of us living here. It would be great if we had two children here, and it would be much more lively."
Now Su Man has gotten used to the fact that her two children are not around, so Old Man Fan is not afraid to bring it up in front of her.
"They will come back." Su Man said, not sure whether she was comforting Old Man Fan or herself.
But the bastard said he would bring the child back, so she believed him.
Old Man Fan was also cheerful, "Yes, yes, they will come back. They will definitely come back."
Su Man smiled and said, "I'll go check out the house first."
"I'll go make some medicine for you three. I've been waiting for you to come back."
Su Man: “…”
In the end, Old Man Fan went to make medicine, and Su Man took Fu Si and Fu Qi to see the new house.
The new house was full of workers, but when they saw Su Man they greeted her very friendly.
It was not only because Su Man paid them, but also because Su Man did not look down on them because of their status. Instead, she treated them very well, provided them with both meat and vegetarian food, and was very approachable, making them feel comfortable working in such an environment.
Su Man led the two to a row of houses in the backyard, stopped, and said to Fu Si and Fu Qi,
"If you come back in the future, you can live here. If you want to get married and have children, I will build a separate house for you in the village."
Fu Si and Fu Qi were stunned. They had a lot to say, but in the end they just said "OK".
In the future? After they go back this time, who knows if there will be a future. But the lady is thinking about them now, and they can't hurt her heart.
After noon, Su Man prepared a pot of mung bean soup for the people who were building the house.
She had soaked the mung beans at Xia Qiu Lou when she came back from town, and brought them back in a wooden barrel, so it is still easy to cook them now.
Su Man brought over two large buckets full of mung bean soup and told them to drink as much as they wanted.
The sweet syrup surprised the workers very much. This was sugar. They didn't expect Su Man would be willing to put so much sugar in it.
The result was that Su Man received a lot of praise again.
Su Man smiled and didn't say much. She was just trying to put herself in other people's shoes and have a clear conscience.
At night, Su Man and the other two inevitably drank the bitter medicine under the watchful eyes of Old Man Fan.
Su Man put a candy in her mouth and started to cook dinner.
Boiled chicken, braised pig's trotters with soybeans, braised fish, fried duck with basil, smashed cucumber to relieve greasiness, cold bean sprouts, and pork ribs and corn soup.
It was very rich and delicious, and the aroma had already aroused the appetite of old man Fan.
"Ah, girl, it's better to have you around. Although I have the food you gave me these days to satisfy my cravings, it's not delicious food. I'm tired of eating the food that the village chief brings occasionally, and his cooking is not delicious either."
Listening to Old Man Fan's complaints, Su Man found it very funny, but she also knew that the old man was still very grateful to the village chief.
"I'll be staying for two more days anyway, so just save your stomach and eat. You guys take the bowls and chopsticks first, I'll take some to the village chief and his family. He cooks for you every day, so let's get some for him now."
In fact, there was another reason because Su Man knew that Aunt Mei was having dinner at the village chief's house today. After all, she was alone and it would be troublesome to cook at home, so it would be better for them to eat together.
The village chief and his wife, their two sons, Aunt Mei, and Gousheng. Gousheng has been living in the village chief's house these days.
At first, when Gousheng knew that the two children had left, he kept crying.
Thinking of the two children, Su Man couldn't help but smile again. Such a long time has passed, the two children should have grown up a lot, right?
She held the basket in one hand and knocked on the door with the other.
The one who came to open the door was Gousheng who was running over. When he saw Su Man, he immediately called out sweetly.
"Auntie."
"Gousheng, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you feel the pain in your legs again?" Su Man said as she took out two fruit candies and gave them to him.
Gousheng's leg actually healed more than ten days ago, but Su Man felt that it would take a hundred days to heal a broken bone, so she was still a little worried and asked about it every time they met.
"No, Grandpa Fan comes to see me every day, so don't worry, Auntie."
"That's good. If you feel uncomfortable, you should tell us directly. Don't keep it to yourself, otherwise it will cause you to have a bad illness in the future. Your sister is not here now. If you have any problems, go to the village chief or Grandpa Fan. You can also find us when we are at home, okay?"
Gou Sheng nodded obediently, "Aunt, when will Zixia and Ziqiu come back? They have been gone for a long time, I miss them so much."
Su Man's face paused, and then she said with a smile,
"Almost. We'll be back soon. Let's go in first. I brought you some food."
When Gousheng heard that the two children would be back soon, he cheered and turned around and ran in to tell others.
Su Man walked slowly behind him, and couldn't help but sigh when she saw Gou Sheng's happy expression.
Aunt Cui and the others were just getting ready to eat, and they felt embarrassed when they saw her bringing so much food.
In fact, Su Man didn't take anything, just some braised fish and fried duck with basil.
"Anyway, there's some at home. My uncle also said that he can't cook when I'm not at home, so I always cook for him. Now that I'm back once in a while, I'll bring some over for you all to try."
Everyone now knew Su Man's character, so they accepted her polite words.
Su Man originally wanted to talk to Aunt Mei about something, but seeing how happy they were, she changed her mind. She decided to wait until she went to town in two days before talking about it. She was so happy now, there was no need to affect Aunt Mei's mood.
So in the end Su Man said nothing and went back with the empty basket.
After dinner, Fu Si and Fu Qi were washing dishes and tidying up in the kitchen, while Su Man and Old Man Fan were sitting in the living room.
"Oh, today's meal was really a great enjoyment for me. It was so delicious and appetizing!" Old man Fan sighed while rubbing his stomach while sitting in a chair.
Su Man smiled helplessly, "You still say you are a doctor, don't you know that eating so much at night is bad for your health?"
"Of course I know that, but it's rare for you to come back and cook, so of course I have to eat well."
Su Man shook her head helplessly again. When she saw the satisfied look on Old Man Fan's face, she sighed softly. She didn't want to break the peace, but she had to do it.
"What's wrong? Why are you sighing for no reason?" Old Man Fan asked directly when he saw Su Man sighing.
"Please sit down first. I do have something to tell you, but I'm afraid to scare you."
She said this half seriously and half jokingly.
Sure enough, when Old Man Fan heard her tone, he didn't take it seriously and thought Su Man was joking with him.
"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Although I'm old, I'm not that naive."
Su Man was silent for a moment, then said seriously,
"I might have to go find two kids after a while."
"Oh, go...what?" Old man Fan suddenly woke up and quickly sat up and looked at Su Man.
"What were you talking about just now? What do you mean by going to look for the two children? Didn't we agree that we would stay here and not cause any trouble? Why are you going again? Besides, would Fu Si and the others let you go?"
Perhaps because he was afraid that Fu Si and the others would hear him, Old Man Fan lowered his voice and even sat on the chair closest to Su Man.
Su Man glanced at him and deliberately said, "Didn't you say you weren't that naive? Why are you so anxious now?"
Old Man Fan was so angry that he glared at her.
"Girl, think about what you just said. How can I not be anxious? You just went to die. Do you know what you are saying?"
Su Man directly told Old Man Fan about what happened yesterday with the woman in pink and what she discussed with Fu Si, Fu Qi and the others.
After listening to this, Old Man Fan's face became more serious and solemn.
"Anyway, this is how things are now. I told you this just to prepare you mentally. If you want to stay here, don't worry. The house has been built, the store in the town is profitable, and you can live a good life.
But if...if you go with us, then, as you said, you are going to die. As for me, I will support you no matter what decision you make, but I also hope that you can spend your remaining years here. You are not young anymore, so you should not toss around like this."
When Old Man Fan heard her words, he became even angrier.
"Shut up! Do I look that old? And what's the point of leaving me here alone after you all left?"
"So..." Su Man looked at him.
"So what do you mean by so! Of course I'm going with you guys. You said you'd take me with you wherever you go. Now don't even think about leaving me alone!"
"But you just said that if you follow me, you will die."
"I'm dead, what's there to be afraid of? If you're not afraid, what do I have to be afraid of at such an old age? What's more, that bastard Luo Yun actually drugged me. I'm going to settle the score with him in person! His behavior is tantamount to betraying his master and ancestors!"
