Everyone was relieved when they heard Su Fengmao’s words. After greeting
Su Fenmao and his family, the villagers took their rapeseeds home. When they reached home, they still had to go to the fields to transport the rapeseeds home.
It was pretty troublesome, but people relied on hard labor in ancient times when productivity was low.
Fortunately, everyone’s living conditions had improved. Most families could afford small carts, making pulling crops from the Melds more convement.
Su Binglan recalled not having a cart. After harvesting the crops, her parents would carry food home with poles and bindles. They also had to make multiple trips. Sometimes, they were so tired that their arms ached.
Su Binglan’s heart ached for her parents when she recalled those times. Therefore, she became emotional as she watched the busy villagers. She knew it was not easy to grow and harvest crops.
Although the villagers looked normal, many of them were tired and aching. Su Wenxiu only gave the villagers free consultations after studying medicine. Moreover, his medicine was more affordable, so many would visit him regarding their health issues.
Su Wenxiu sighed during dinner, so Su Binglan knew about his troubled thoughts. Still, the villagers would be grateful, no matter how busy they were. There was always a sense of joy from a bumper harvest.
The Su family talked while walking and soon arrived home. Shen Qiuhua poured out the willow sprouts and washed them in a large basin. She said, “Binglan, should we make meat or vegetable dumplings?”
Su Binglan replied, “l bought some pork belly yesterday. They’re perfect for dumplings.”
Liu Yinyin said, “I’ll cut the meat, Binglan.”
Su Binglan nodded. “You’ll be in charge of mixing the fillings, too, okay?”
The family had made dumplings many times before. Shen Qiuhua and Liu Yinyin were skilled at making them. Su Binglan no longer needed to mix the fillings herself because the others knew how to use seasonings.
Shen Qiuhua was in the courtyard washing willow sprouts, saying, ‘iWenwu has sent Feiran to the south. They can’t eat fresh willow sprout dumplings.”
No matter how old a child was, their parents would still treat them as such. Shen Qiuhua could not help but worry about her son not eating or sleeping well during his time in the South.
She said, “Wenwu grew up in the north, but can he get used to living in the south? I heard the Southerners’ eating habits differ from ours.”
Shen Qiuhua could not help but vent to Su Binglan. The latter understood her mother well, saying, “Don’t worry. Wenwu sent a letter saying everything was going well over there. Besides, Feiran is familiar with the South, so she’ll take good care of Wenwu.”
Shen Qiuhua smiled when she heard Ye Feiran’s name. “She’s a good child. I just want Wenwu to finish his work quickly so I can visit the Ye family and propose a marriage between Feiran and Wenwu.”
She thought Su Wenwu was not so outgoing in the past, so she did not urge him. However, since he liked Ye Feiran, Shen Qiuhua wanted them to get married as soon as possible.
Su Wenzhe said worriedly, “But the Ye family doesn’t know Feiran is a woman, right? I heard the family is pretty complicated, so we can’t go there rashly. We must discuss it with Wenwu and Feiran first.’
Shen Qiuhua looked at Su Binglan, asking, “Do you think we should ask them about it first?”
Ye Feiran and Su Wenwu had stayed home for a few days before heading to the South. Su Wenwu only followed Ye Feiran there to open a shop, so he left out some details before leaving.
However, Su Binglan knew the duo’s thoughts. She said, “Mother, Ye Feiran’s situation is peculiar. She has to build a foundation in the South through her efforts. She needs the strength to compete with her entire family. That way, it would not affect her identity as a woman disguised as a man.”
Shen Qiuhua fell silent for a while and then said, “She doesn’t have it easy, huh? I know how challenging it is to live in a complicated family.”
Su Binglan continued, “So, we can only support Wenwu and Feiran.”
The Su family had discovered Ye Feiran was a woman and treated her as their own. Moreover, Su Wenwu had sent a letter to his family, asking someone to collect the things Ye Feiran had prepared for them.
Ye Feiran had even gifted Shen Qiuhua a jade bracelet.
Shen Qiuhua nodded. “You’re right, Binglan. Feiran had sent us things last time. I wonder when Wenwu will send us another letter. I’ve also sent someone to bring them the food I made.”
Shen Qiuhua had inherited her daughter’s culinary skills. The former would make snacks whenever she had free time.
Su Binglan smiled. “All right, I’ll get someone to send the food you made them.”
Shen Qiuhua scooped out the washed willow sprouts and said, “That’s right. The noodles are delicious, but I heard the Southerners prefer eating rice. Their eating habits differ from ours, too,
“l prepared steamed buns and pickled side dishes for your brother. It’s best to eat steamed buns to fill his stomach.’
Su Binglan was amused, thinking Su Wenwu could cook with Ye Feiran in the south. After all, Su Wenwu also had excellent cooking skills. Perhaps all parents worried about their children, no matter what.
That evening, the Su family chatted and ate willow sprouts dumplings together. Su Wenxiu excitedly shared his meal with everyone, saying, “Sister, I went to see the medical school at the commercial street. I didn’t expect it to be so well-built and vast.’
Su Binglan ate a dumpling and said, “Then the medical school will be under your management. It’ll have classrooms and laboratories inside, so you’ll be responsible for everything there.”
Su Wenxiu had become a fine doctor. That was because he had been hosting social gatherings and exchange meetings with various doctors for the past month or so.
Whenever he held an exchange meeting, they would discuss and learn many things together. The atmosphere stimulated Su Wenxiu’s enthusiasm to study medicine further.
The doctors also discussed many of their discoveries together and did not treat Su Wenxiu like a child. Instead, everyone respected and learned from each other. Moreover, many doctors participated in the exchange meeting.
Su Wenxiu was about to cry, saying, “Sister, you’re so good to me. I now have a massive, perfect-looking medical school.”
“Well, you are my brother, after all,” Su Binglan said, “Of course, I’ll support your dreams, especially because you can teach many doctors and nurses in your new medical school. They can help many more people after completing their studies..
