Chapter 602: Chapter 602 Someone Likes It Chapter 602: Chapter 602 Someone Likes It Su Yunjin and Gu Ya, the married couple, had been staying at the Su Family for almost half a month. Aside from staple foods like flour and rice, they had run out of vegetables.
Today marked the first day Su Yunjin’s family visited their new home, so it wouldn’t be proper to lack dishes with meat.
It was even less possible to have no vegetables at all.
Thus, Su Yunjin arranged for Gu Ya to go buy vegetables. Auntie Song, aware that Su Yunjin had returned, brought over some chicks, saying, “Yunjin, you and your husband are finally back. You have no idea, during the days you were away, your sister-in-law Mrs. Chu came looking for you several times! Oh, and your mother-in-law visited too.”
Auntie Song handed the chicks to Su Yunjin, who noticed that the chicks had grown quite a bit after ten days.
Su Xiaobao came closer, his fondness for the fluffy chicks evident, even reaching out to touch them. Su Yunjin handed a cage of chicks to Su Xiaobao and said to Auntie Song, “Auntie, thanks to you for looking after these chicks while we were away. How about this! Come and have lunch with Uncle Xu at noon!”
Auntie Song waved her hands.
“Yunjin, I appreciate your kind offer, but I won’t be there for lunch. Your uncle’s selling pork in town, and I need to go deliver his meal,” said Auntie Song as she left. Having heard from Auntie Song that Mrs. Chu and mother-in-law had been searching for her, Su Yunjin decided to send Gu Ya to visit the old house.
To ask if her mother-in-law or Mrs. Chu had something important? Su Xiaobao crouched on the ground, engrossed in watching the chicks, as Mrs. Shen approached with a smile.
“Yunjin, that Auntie Song seems like a decent person. Now that you’re neighbors, it would be good to interact with her more. If you get along, you can help each other out.” Su Yunjin liked Auntie Song and knew she was right, “Mother, I understand,” she replied, holding a chick and heading to the backyard.
Su Yunjin planned to put the chicks back into the coop, with Su Ningxiu and Su Xiaobao following behind her. Su Xiaobao wanted to hold a chick, so Su Yunjin let him.
Walking behind with her second older sister Su Ningxiu, Su Yunjin thought about that unnamed man and once again warned Su Ningxiu, “Second sister, if that man shows up again, you mustn’t be easily deceived by him. If his character is bad, and he ends up like Fan Wenxuan, getting involved with him would not be good.”
For some reason, Su Ningxiu felt that the man wouldn’t be like Fan Wenxuan; she knew her younger sister cared for her wellbeing.
Su Ningxiu nodded, “Yunjin, I understand,” she said, having been reminded. Looking up, they saw Su Xiaobao already holding a chick outside the coop.
Su Xiaobao brought the cage inside after opening the coop.
Su Yunjin asked Su Xiaobao to put down the chicks and come out, but he started playing inside instead. Seeing Su Xiaobao enjoying himself, she and Su Ningxiu did not interfere, letting him play with the chicks in the coop.
Before long, Gu Ya, who had gone out to buy vegetables, returned. He brought back not only vegetables and meat but also a basket of fresh loquats.
The loquats were yellow and orange,
particularly large in size,
easily twice the size of the smaller loquats Su Yunjin had eaten at the Su Family. Su Yunjin held one up to compare, and it was nearly the size of half a fist.
“Husband, why did you buy loquats?” Su Yunjin asked, surprised.
Gu Ya looked at his young wife with a smile and a hint of meaning, “Someone liked them, so I bought them.” His little wife so enjoyed eating them,
he naturally bought some for her when he saw them at the market.
