Crossing the Unknown Country

Their business cannot be stopped, as it is the main source of income in the future. Noodles can be sold for money at ordinary times, and can be kept as food when they are useful. This is also the main reason why Su He has always wanted to do food business. Those who were able to escape disasters in the past life were those who had reserves.

Su He's father took Su He and Su He's mother to Fengyu City. This time they walked very fast. The weather hadn't warmed up yet, and it wasn't the New Year, so there were relatively few people on the road. There was nothing around, the trees and the fields were still bare, and there weren't many people working in the fields.

Su He got up early in the morning. She was already familiar with the scenery along the way, and there was really nothing to see. She sat in the car, took out the quilt, lay down and fell asleep again. Her mother sat directly at the door of the car and chatted with Su He's father, so that Su He's father would not feel bored.

Su He's mother listened to Su He's father talking about the houses in the city. Although she had heard it many times, she never got tired of it. She still listened to Su He's father with relish.

The last time Su He's mother and her family came back from the city, Su He's father took out the bracelet and earrings he bought for her when they went to bed at night. She took the bracelet and earrings with great excitement. This was the first time she had her own jewelry. The earrings she wore when she got married were a dowry given by her mother. She never dared to wear them. In the end, she had no money to see a doctor, so she took them to the pawnshop to exchange for silver to buy medicine.

This was the first time that Su He's mother had her own jewelry and could wear it at will. Su He's father said that he would buy her gold and jade jewelry in the future and she could wear it at will. She was reluctant to wear it when cooking or working at home, but Su He forced her to wear it and Su He also wore it.

She just tried it on, then put it away, saying she would wear it when she went to the city. This morning, Su He urged her to put it on, and put on the dress she bought for her in the city. The children and her father all said it looked good.

Since Su Heniang got married, the couple worked hard on the farm, but no matter what? Apart from the grain handed over to the government, the rest of their family could only barely make ends meet. If a child got sick or had an accident, they would have to sell grain to pay for the treatment, and eventually the family would run out of food. Most of her dowry was sold, and every time her parents went there, they took advantage of it, and she couldn't get anything back. Over the years, she felt more and more embarrassed to go back, and she hasn't been back for nearly two years.

I wanted to go back this year, but I haven't been back yet and I don't dare to go back. My children and their father don't want to go, and I'm too embarrassed to bring it up.

Su He's mother mustered up the courage to ask Su He's father: "Dad, the child's grandparents are not young anymore. Our family is well off now. Can you go back to visit them sometime?"

Su He's father was shocked, then smiled and said, "I thought you didn't want to go back! I didn't dare to ask during the New Year. I'll listen to you, I'll go when I get back this time, and buy some good things for my parents in the city. After all, we were poor before, and we caused a lot of trouble for them."

Su He Niang said with tears in her eyes: "I have been undecided in my heart. Last time, my brother and sister-in-law scolded me, and I was embarrassed to go back. We can't honor our parents, and we also cause them to be scolded. I feel sad when I think about it."

Su He's father went on to say, "Now our family is getting better and better. If we were still in the old house, we wouldn't dare to think of anything. Now we have a new home and a house in the city. Our family conditions are getting better. I was thinking about whether we could invite them to stay with us for a few days, so that they can enjoy the happiness with us for a few days."

Su He's father looked at Su He's mother and comforted her, "Whatever you want, I'll listen to you. Now that we are well off and have a big house, it's only natural for the old man to come and live with us."

The two of them were talking, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Fengyu City. The tall city gate was right in front of them, and Su He woke up when he heard the noisy voices outside. He sat up and looked outside. They had arrived at Fengyu City, and at the gate where people were coming and going, Su He's father had already gone to pay the money.

It didn't take long before Su He's father came back and drove the mule cart into the city. Their mule cart went straight to their home.

Su He's mother looked out excitedly and asked Su He, "Is our new home far away? Which street is it on? Have I been there before?"

Su He smiled and said, "It's not far, we'll be there in a little while, but it's not on this street, you haven't been to that street. We haven't been there before, it's near Brother Qin Ming's house, it's a nice place."

Su He's father drove the car onto that street and soon arrived at his doorstep.

He jumped out of the car and pointed at the gate and said, "Mother, look, this is our home."

As he said this, he took out the key from his pocket, unlocked the door, pushed open the gate, removed the door cutout, and drove in.
