Su Wenwu was amazed by the news things around the house as he curiously touched them here and there. He looked at the red brick and said, “This brick will feel good if we build a house with it.”
He liked the color, so he thought of building a beautiful house with them. However, he knew the red bricks would not be cheap either. He carefully touched them as his mind wandered.
Su Wenwu wanted to build a big house for his family, but he knew the money he had earned was not enough. Hence, he thought of earning and saving more. He wanted his family to have a bigger house so they could all live together.
After a while, he looked at his father’s foot and confirmed it had healed. He asked, “Father, has your foot really recovered?”
Su Fengmao was happy when Su Wenwu mentioned his foot. “Yeah, it’s better now. Here, let me show you.”
He stretched his foot and moved it back and forth as he spoke, “This is all thanks to your sister. She operated on my foot, and it finally recovered. It doesn’t hurt anymore, so I can walk like normal after taking care of it. Our family has gone through great changes, thanks to your sister.”
Su Fengmao wished he could tell everyone about his recovered foot. That’s why he always ran around the streets as if he feared others would not know that his foot had recovered.
Of course, that was his little trick. He wanted those who did not know about his recovered foot to start talking about it.
Shen Qiuhua knew her husband was just showing off his daughter’s capabilities because if others saw him running around, they would wonder how he had recovered.
Naturally, the villagers would learn that Su Binglan had healed her father. Then they would envy Su Fengmao for having such a gifted daughter.
“L- Little Sister has medical skills?!” Su Wenwu’s jaw almost hit the ground. He even wondered if there was something wrong with his memories since he knew his sister did not possess any medical knowledge. Also, the other doctors said that they could never heal Su Fengmao’s foot.
However, Su Wenwu saw that his father’s food was fine and had no problems. It was as if Su Fengmao’s foot had never gotten smashed.
Su Fengmao said proudly, “Of course, your sister knows many things. It’s just that you were unaware. Don’t worry. You will know more about her soon enough.”
Su Wenwu felt that his family had changed so much since he had been away for more than three months.
He wanted to see his mother’s excited reaction when he handed her the two silver taels he had worked so hard to earn, but she looked calm.
Shen Qiuhua said to Su Wenwu, “I know it wasn’t easy for you to earn money out there, so you can just stay with us since our conditions have improved. You no longer have to go on long journeys.”
Su Wenwu was in disbelief because he just gave her two silver taels. Previously, his mother would be thrilled if he brought home even twenty copper coins. However, his mother’s expression was calm, even though Su Wenwu gave her two silver taels.
He carefully hid the two silver taels in his sleeves when he hurried home to give them to his mother. He expected his mother to be thrilled.
“M-Mother, that’s two silver taels. Aren’t you happy?” Su Wenwu emphasized.
‘That’s two silver taels, not two copper coins.’
Su Wenwu was beyond happy when he received the two silver taels. His heart almost jumped out of his chest back then. Nonetheless, he looked like a child asking for praise from his mother at this moment.
Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “Of course, I’m happy. I know you’ve worked hard to earn this, my son. Still, I’m sad that you had to struggle so much.”
Indeed, she was happy but also felt a trace of sourness for her youngest son. If it were the past, Shen Qiuhua would jump with joy when she saw the two silver taels, but she was much calmer now.
Even so, it did not mean she was unhappy. It was just that she had seen more silver these days and had grown accustomed to it. Hence, her emotions were not so obvious.
Su Wenwu did not get the reaction he expected, but he was delighted to hear that his mother was happy. He looked at his siblings, and everyone looked calm. It was strange.
He also noticed the family was preparing a lot of meat, like pork and mutton.
‘That’s a lot of meat. We could never afford so much meat, even during the Chinese New Year, let alone the Mooncake Festival. Have my family’s conditions improved that much while I was away?
When the family mentioned their conditions had improved, Su Wenwu thought it would only go so far as to be able to eat white bread. Still, it seemed his family had improved beyond his imagination and understanding.
He was stunned as he asked, “Has our family improved that much, Mother?”
“Of course, we’re wealthy now, so you don’t have to risk leaving town for work. Just stay with us and move around town. There’s no need to go so far away since we’ve recently built a bigger house.
“That big red house over there belongs to our family, and your father just completed the beam. We’ll move in the furniture we ordered in a few days, and then we can move in permanently.”
Shen Qiuhua rambled as she spoke about this.
Su Wenwu was shocked. He seemed to remember seeing a big red house when he ran home. However, he was so focused on reaching home that he did not think much of the big house.
He finally reacted after thinking about it again. ‘There was a huge house back there. Is that ours?’
“I-Is that true, Mother?” Su Wenwu stuttered.
Su Fengmao said, “Of course, it’s true. That’s our new house, and everyone will have their own rooms and courtyards. When you marry and have children, they will have much room to grow. Since you have your own room, you will have privacy, even though you’re living with your parents.”
Su Wenwu excitedly rubbed his hands together, saying, “Can I go check the house out?”
He could not wait to see what the house looked like up close.
Shen Qiuhua said smilingly, “What’s the rush? We can move in soon anyway.”
“Mother, let Third Brother check it out,” Su Binglan handed Su Wenwu the key as she spoke, “It’s quite big inside, so just walk around for a while and come home early for dinner.”
“Okay, Little Sister!” Su Wenwu took the key and devoutly ran toward the new house.
After Su Binglan had prepared everything she needed for the hotpot, Su Wenwu returned and excitedly exclaimed, “Father, Mother, our house is enormous! I couldn’t even finish exploring the inside before I came home for dinner!”
He smiled brilliantly and talked about what he saw with everyone. Although it was already late, the moon was more prominent, rounder, and shined brighter since it was the Mooncake festival.
The moonlight could light up the entirety of the new house, and one could see more clearly. Even though the house was big, the interior design gave off a warm and inviting feeling.
The new house had a more extensive living area where everyone could gather, and the family could grow many herbs and vegetables in the courtyards.
Everyone had gone to see the new house and knew what it looked like, but they became even more excited when they listened to Su Wenwu’s description.
Everyone was chatting and laughing when Baili Jinghua and her son came in. Then Su Binglan introduced her and the little guy to Su Wenwu.
Soon after, the family ate hotpot together as Su Binglan explained, “These are the seasonings, so you can all choose which you like most. Then you can put the meat into the pot to heat it, dip it in your seasoning, and eat it..”
