Su Binglan said, “I made the clothes for them, so you can let the little ones wear them, Sister-in-law. They’ll have new clothes during the New Year.”
Liu Yinyin’s face lit up upon hearing that. She also looked forward to wearing the new clothes Su Binglan had prepared for her. She knew they would look good.
She nodded. “Okay, I’ll help put on their sweaters now.”
Su Binglan looked at her parents and said, “Father, Mother, the weather is cold now, so you should also put on your woolen sweaters and pants.”
She had already told the embroidery shop to knit sweaters and trousers for her family. Hence, she told her parents to wear them.
Everyone said they would wear their new clothes when the weather got colder, but to put it bluntly, they were still reluctant to wear them. Since it started snowing, the family would not object if Su Binglan told them to wear their new clothes.
Shen Qiuhua heard her daughter’s insistence and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll wear them tomorrow morning. Don’t say it. I know the sweater and pants will feel warm.”
Shen Qiuhua, Su Fengmao, and the others had tried on their new clothes when Su Binglan brought them back. They all felt warmer after wearing their winter clothes but carefully folded them and placed them in the cabinet immediately after trying them.
The family said they would wear their winter clothes when it got cold but were reluctant to wear them because they feared damaging them.
However, Shen Qiuhua was all smiles when she considered wearing her new sweater and pants. She felt excited about wearing her new clothes. After all, the family would not be willing to buy even a single piece of clothing in the past.
She could only buy new clothes for her children during the New Year, but they were always reluctant to wear them. Now that her family’s conditions had improved exponentially and her children were doing well, she could care for herself.
Still, she would sometimes ignore herself, but her daughter would consider everything for her. Su Binglan was attentive and dutiful, allowing her family to eat well, live comfortably, and wear new clothes.
She understood that her parents were reluctant to wear their new clothes and smiled. “Mother, your clothes won’t wear out so quickly, and you’ll have many more new c10tnes m cnrrerent styles. YOU can wear tnem witnout worry, 0Kayc
“You’re getting older and have been worrying about us all this time, so it’s about time you enjoyed yourself.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “How can your father and I not worry about you? Even though you’re all grown up, we can’t help but think about you. Still, you’re all sensible and capable, so we’re not worried.”
She said those words from the bottom of her heart. Although the older couple’s children had grown up to be capable and live good lives, being a parent felt different. They could not help but think about their children’s needs.
While the mother and daughter talked, Liu Yinyin brought her sons to wear their new sweaters and pants. The two little ones were thrilled, and Su
Xuexuan felt warmer. He said, “I don’t feel cold when I wear these, Aunt Binglan. ”
He could feel the warmth around his body. He and his brother looked excited.
Su Xuexuan did not even dare to touch his sweater, afraid it would tear. After all, it was completely different from what he used to wear.
Su Xuehai, who was only four, looked highly excited. He liked his new clothes and reached out to touch them.
Su Binglan looked at them curiously and thought they looked amusing. She asked, “Do you like them?”
“We do, we do!”
Su Xuehai repeatedly nodded, saying, “I love them!”
He looked adorable in his new clothes.
Su Binglan was in an excellent mood when she saw how much the little ones enjoyed their new clothes. She felt happier than when she wore the clothes she liked. She thought it was effortless for children to be happy.
Liu Yinyin said, “Your aunt personally weaved those for you. She said the pattern on it is a cartoon, and no one else has it but you.”
“That’s Mickey Mouse,” Su Binglan said smilingly.
Soon, the snow outside became heavier as layers covered the ground and eaves. The white snow made the night sky look whiter than usual.
“It’s snowing heavily.” Liu Yinyin looked at the snow outside and felt its coldness. Still, she felt warm at home.
Su Wenzhe was helping to light the fire when he glanced at the snow outside and said, “It’s good that it’s snowing heavily. We can build a snowman.”
“Do you think you’re still a child?” Liu Yinyin retorted.
“I’m talking about bringing Xuexuan and Xuehai to build one.”
Su Wenxiu was studying in the inner room while Su Wenwu helped to cook.
Su Wenwu interrupted, “Wenzhe, Wenxiu, and I would have snowball fights in the yard and build snowmen when we were younger. We also played in the snow with our friends. We barely felt the cold back then because we had so much fun.’
Shen Qiuhua could not help but laugh. “You guys also said your clothes were wet when you returned. When the weather was good, I had to rush to wash
them for you.”
“It was so fun back then, and it’s great now.” Su Wenwu laughed.
He was still carefree when he was young. At that time, he did not consider anything else and just wanted to eat delicious food and play. Furthermore, he looked forward to the New Year because he could eat things he could not normally eat.
The three brothers knew they would face troubles when they grew up. However, they would also better understand their parents and their family’s conditions.
The three brothers started understanding their sense of responsibility and considered earning for their family. Still, it was useless to think that way in the past. It was because of Su Binglan that Su Wenwu had proper businesses now.
There were two hotpot restaurants in town now, one in the east and one in the west. Both were popular, and Zhou Shan and Li Shi were in charge of their own.
The two were managers of the hotpot restaurants and had hired some more people to work there. Now, the duo was swamped but on the right track.
Su Wenwu occasionally checked on things but did not have to worry much. Still, he had to control things as he was still in charge of overseeing everything in the hotpot restaurants.
Moreover, he often visited the neighboring town. He wanted to open another hotpot restaurant there. Of course, Su Wenwu would continue practicing his kung fu whenever he had time.
Luo Jin’an had taught Su Wenwu the kung fu he practiced. Initially, Su Wenwu did not think his brother-in-law knew kung fu, but the more he practiced, the more he felt the power of Luo Jin’an’s lessons.
Even Su Wenzhe would learn from Luo Jin’an when he had the time. Su Wenzhe also said that his sister was the one who told him that it was good to learn more about kung fu.
Many people from other villages envied Li Shi because he had successfully settled down in Su Teng Village. Not only did he buy land and build a house there, but he also brought his parents along.
Mr. and Mrs. Li were usually at home to help look after the house while cooking breakfast and lunch for their son. Li Shi would then go to the hotpot restaurant in town. Although the restaurant only opened at noon, Li Shi always arrived early.
Mr. and Mrs. Li also looked much better now. They typically cared for their chicken and ducks at home whenever they had nothing to do. The older couple treated Li Shi better now, as if they wanted to make up for how they had treated their son.
However, everyone discussed these things behind the Li family’s backs and said that Mr. and Mrs. Li could only live in Su Teng Village because of their second son.
They also mentioned that if the older couple did not treat Li Shi well, they would have to return to Northern Song Village..
