Lin Cheng was thrilled to hear the news about the job at the pig farm. Having the chance to work there was definitely a good opportunity.
Although Su Shen had been particularly considerate of them because of his sister, Lin Cheng also wanted to earn a living and support Xiao Hua with his own hands.
He told Li Zhu, “Of course, I’ll do my best!”
Lin Cheng felt he must work hard to repay Su Shen’s kindness.
Lin Hun, once again, pulled Lin Cheng aside and requested, “Brother Lin, take me with you. I don’t need a wage; I just want to help you! ”
Lin Cheng didn’t know why Lin Hun wanted to go to the pig farm. But considering all the help Lin Hun had provided, he asked Li Zhu if it was possible to arrange for Lin Hun to join them.
Lin Hun was ecstatic upon hearing this, eagerly looking at Li Zhu.
Li Zhu helplessly said, “I can’t make the decision, but you can both go to the farm together tomorrow and talk to Big Brother Jin Long; he can help you.”
Saying that, Li Zhu drank two bowls of hot tea, and then left with the truck driver.
The truck driver dropped off Li Zhu at Su’s house and headed back to the city.
Li Zhu knocked on the Su family’s door, and it was Gu Zi who answered.
“Li Zhu, come in. Are you here to see Su Shen?” she asked.
Li Zhu walked in and said, “Sister-in-law, I just came back from the Lin’s. I delivered a fridge and a hundred pounds of pork to your parents. Now I’m here to report to Brother Shen. Also, Brother Lin is planning to work at the pig farm.”
When Gu Zi heard Li Zhu’s words, her mouth almost opened into an “O” shape. Did Su Shen have to be so generous?!
A hundred pounds of pork plus a refrigerator—how much did that cost? And he arranged a job for her brother too.
She had been thinking of sending ten cans of fruit preserves to the Lin family to give them a taste.
In comparison, she seemed a bit stingy!
Li Zhu went straight to the kitchen to find Su Shen. When he caught sight of his boss, he could hardly believe his eyes.
The 1.9 -meter-tall man was wearing a flowery apron, skillfully cooking at the stove.
‘Wow! Sis-in-law is so charming that Brother Shen willingly skipped work at the pig farm to come home and cook for his wife and child,’ Li Zhu thought to himself.
Li Zhu hesitated for a moment before calling out, “Brother Shen, I’ve taken care of the things you requested.”
Su Shen turned around and glanced at Li Zhu. “Okay. Ask your sister-in-law if she needs anything taken to the Lin’s. You can help her with that tomorrow.” Li Zhu went out and asked Gu Zi. She pointed at the ten cans of fruit preserves she had set aside, “These need to be sent over. Is it okay?”
“No problem, Sister-in-law,” Li Zhu said. “I’ll come early tomorrow to pick them up. If you need anything else taken there in the future, just tell me.”
After saying that, Li Zhu prepared to leave, but Gu Zi insisted, “Stay for dinner and then go.”
“Thank you, Sister-in-law! But my mom has dinner ready; if I don’t go back, she’ll scold me.”
Though Li Zhu really wanted to taste Su Shen’s cooking, he figured Su Shen wouldn’t want him hanging around.
Seeing Li Zhu insist on leaving, Gu Zi didn’t press further and gave him a jar of her homemade fruit preserves, which Li Zhu happily accepted before leaving.
During dinner, Gu Zi felt a bit overwhelmed seeing the table full of dishes.
Su Shen’s cooking was generous in portions and meat. In short, lavish!
There was a big bowl of stir-fried bacon with scallions, another big bowl of sautéed fresh mushrooms with meat, a large bowl of braised tofu, a big bowl of sautéed vegetables with green peppers, and a large pot of pork rib and soybean soup.
He had prepared all the meals for the day! Although she didn’t say anything, she was already silently planning how to manage the leftovers the next day.
Su Bing and Su Li also seemed a bit surprised. Su Bing sat down without saying anything, while Su Li exclaimed, “Wow, so much meat! Dad, can we skip dinner tonight?”
Su Shen told Su Li, “Have a bit more meat, but you need to have some rice too. It’s not good for your health otherwise.”
After saying that, he turned to Gu Zi and added, “I thought of making extra for you all. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow to another place. It might take two or three days before I can come back.”
As the man spoke, his large hand touched Su Le’s head. The man’s rough fingers were not as soft as Gu Zi’s hand.
This unfamiliar touch made Su Le raise her head and then furrow her brows. She turned around and pulled Gu Zits hand over, placing it on the man’s large hand.
As he was going on a business trip for a few days, he prepared a lot of food for them. Gu Zi found Su Shen’s consideration particularly endearing.
While Gu Zi was feeling happy about this, she didn’t anticipate Su Let s reaction..
