Naturally, Shen Qiuhua understood her son’s thoughts. She knew he probably wanted to give one of the popsicles to Zi Die.
Su Wenxiu was stunned, wondering how his mother understood his thoughts so well. However, he did not think his mother knew about him treating Zi Die differently.
Although the customs in Su Teng Village were better and no longer too conservative, people could not help but discuss student-teacher relationships. Su Wenxiu had not considered how he would tell his parents about Zi Die.
Still, he treated her as a student. Perhaps he would look at her differently when she became an adult. His mind even started to race when he thought about what Zi Die had told him.
Su Wenxiu did not realize how gentle he looked whenever he thought about her. Shen Qiuhua noticed it and became even more confident in her judgment. As a mother, she could always understand her children’s thoughts.
Soon, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin returned home with their sons. As soon as they entered, Su Wenzhe said, “Father, Mother, we’re home!”
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai followed suit. “Hello, Grandma and Grandpa! Hello, Uncle Wenxiu!”
Su Wenxiu put down the popsicle and went out to carry the two boys, one in each arm.
“Can you even carry us, Uncle Wenxiu,” Su Xuexuan said.
Su Wenxiu helplessly said, “Do you think I’m not strong enough, you brat? Still, I think you two have grown taller now. I’ll need more strength to carry both of you.”
Although Su Wenxiu often practiced martial arts to strengthen himself, Su Xuexuan was seven, and Su Xuehai was five. Indeed, it was not easy to carry both in each arm.
When Su Wenxiu carried Su Xuehai, the latter hugged his uncle and turned to face his grandparents.
Shen Qiuhua noticed the little ones’ school bags and asked in confusion, “Why are you carrying your school bags when it’s still the afternoon?”
“Blue Mountain Academy is starting its summer break,” Liu Yinyin explained, “That means they won’t have school for a while.”
“Is that a holiday?” Shen Qiuhua was stunned. “I’ve never heard of a summer vacation before.’
Liu Yinyin continued, “Mr. Kong says the school will have summer and winter vacations. Each one will last for a month so the students can rest. Mr. Kong told us the emperor and princess set these rules.
“All the academies will carry out corresponding reforms so students will have a balance of rest and study.”
Since the emperor and princess arranged these things, it must be Lan Ruozhu and Su Binglan.
Su Fengmao said, “I think that’s an excellent idea. Xuexuan and Xuehai can have a good holiday. I know it’s hard to study on such hot days. They can return to school once the weather cools down. Then they’ll have better focus.” Shen Qiuhua nodded. “You’re right. It’s hard to focus when it’s so hot.”
Su Wenzhe looked outside, saying, “It’s extra hot this year, so it’s good that they can stay home.”
He then scooped a bucket of water from the courtyard to wash his face and cool himself down. “Father, Mother, have you cut the watermelons? We should have some to refresh ourselves.’
Su Wenzhe and his wife were typically in charge of the noodle shop, but SU Binglan had arranged for one of her subordinates to take over. Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin felt much more relaxed now.
The couple could rest at home when they had nothing to do. Still, they could help at the noodle shop if they were bored. Su Binglan had arranged it that way so her family could rest more.
After all, her businesses and factories were constantly expanding. Indeed, it was challenging to let her family help out at all times. Thus, Su Binglan entrusted most of the work to her subordinates.
Since it was noon, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin could go home for lunch whenever they wanted to. Unlike when they were busy, they did not even have time to go home for dinner.
The noodle shop’s business bloomed, and they had hired a group of people to work. Although they had even expanded the shop, the supply still barely met the demands.
The shop supplied instant noodles and hot and dry noodles all over Chu Country. Merchants from all over would visit the village just to purchase such goods.
Previously, merchants from other provinces were unable to come to Dingzhou to purchase goods because of the chaos in various places. However, things were different after Lan Ruozhu took over as the emperor.
The country was peaceful, and the various states were recuperating. There were many things to do, and the merchants could travel freely. They knew about all the unique things in Su Teng Village, so they came to stock up.
Since that was the case, Su Teng Village was lively in the morning and at night. The village’s development site had become a prosperous economic area and a transportation hub.
Moreover, it was convenient to transport goods by land and canal. Many people even came and went. Su Teng Village’s development site and the inn in Tenghe Town played a significant role in this.
Since the inn was not open yet, people from other places began to stay in the villagers’ houses. Therefore, even Willow Village and Stone Village became tourist destinations.
Since some did not have an inn to stay in, they would stay in the villagers’ houses. Of course, the village chiefs would discuss it with the villagers in advance.
If anyone were willing to provide accommodations, they would register with the village chiefs. Outsiders even had to go through an identity check before they could stay at the villagers’ houses.
Since these rules were in place, there was no need to worry about safety. The surrounding villagers would also earn more income. That was why everyone was smiling all the time.
Shen Qiuhua told Su Wenzhe, “These are better than watermelon. Your sister made these popsicles and sent them to us. Your father and I were just eating these just now.”
Upon hearing that, Su Wenzhe knew the popsicles would be delicious. He quickly took one and bit into it. He stammered, “Th-this is just like ice, but it’s sweet.”
After recovering from his shock, he took another bite and said, “No, it’s different from ice cubes. It’s fruity and soft. Ah, it’s so cooling, too.”
He was so excited that he could almost cry. The heat from his body disappeared, and he felt cold all of a sudden.
Shen Qiuhua even gave Liu Yinyin and the two little ones a popsicle each. “You guys have one, too, but don’t eat too fast. It’s not good for your stomach. Eat them slowly to relieve the heat.
“We’ll have some noodles after we eat the popsicles. I made pickled fish noodles for lunch.” She had grown accustomed to cooking in the summer whenever she got bored.
Pickled cabbage and fish noodles could quickly whet one’s appetite. Moreover, the Su family enjoyed eating, so Shen Qiuhua made a lot.
Even the noodle shops on the food street sold pickled cabbage and fish noodles. It was a popular dish, let alone the other noodle dishes..
