Crossing the Unknown Country

Su He and her mother made egg soup, egg pancakes, and fried fresh vegetables in the morning. Seeing how good the food was in the morning, her grandmother said to Su He's mother, "We are here, so you don't have to make so many delicious dishes. Rice porridge and steamed buns will do."

Su He's mother smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, we would have eaten the same way even if you hadn't come. What's the point of earning money if we don't have food or clothes to wear?"

Su He's father also smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry. We have always eaten like this. The eggs are laid by our own chickens, and the vegetables are grown in our own fields. Only when we are full and satisfied can we work well."

After dinner, Su He's grandpa and grandma watched Su He's parents start to knead the dough and make noodles. Only then did they realize that this was quite busy and the whole morning passed by unknowingly while they were kneading and rolling the dough.

Su He sat at the desk and copied books and studied. The whole family was busy, and no one was idle until noon.

After lunch, Su He's parents continued to make noodles in the afternoon. Su He started to make some vegetable juice and asked his parents to add it to the noodles. The family started to make vegetable noodles, and the whole big room was full of noodles.

Seeing that their daughter and son-in-law didn't tell them about it, Su He's grandparents knew that their children trusted them very much. They also decided not to say anything when they returned, as this was a way for their daughter's family to make money.

Grandma Su He helped them to stretch the dough, while Grandpa watched from the side. The dough was really well made, and it was stretched out in time, and finally became thin noodles. This dough kneading is really a skill, otherwise such a large ball of dough would become so long and thin little by little.

Su He's mother discussed with her parents that they would go to the town together to see a doctor tomorrow. It would be convenient with a car, and they could also visit the shops and try the food in their own restaurant.

Su He's grandparents heard yesterday that Uncle Su He and his family had opened a food store in town, and they were happy for them. They were also capable enough to open a store in town. It was a good opportunity to go and see Su Feng and his family, as they hadn't seen them for a long time.

Everyone agreed to leave for town early tomorrow morning. Su He's grandparents had no objection. They came here mainly to see a doctor, so it would be better to go home sooner. No matter how good it is here, I still want to go home. After all, there are still a lot of things to do at home, and I am worried if I stay here for too long.

The next day, they got up early to exercise and had breakfast. Su He's father drove them to the town. Su He's grandmother looked at the river in the village and said, "Your Shili Village is a good place, with mountains and water, better than our village."

Grandpa Su He said, "We married our daughter here because we liked this place and our son-in-law's character. It seems that the feng shui here is good. Look, the children are all successful now and are living a good life."

Su He smiled and said, "Grandma and grandpa, you have good vision, otherwise how could we three brothers and sisters come into being?"

Su Heniang smiled and said, "Yes, my parents have good vision. They let me have a good husband and good children."

The whole family burst into laughter, and at last Su He praised his parents: "I have good parents, otherwise how could we exist?"

The family chatted and laughed as they arrived at the town. Seeing the town's big plaque from afar, Grandma Su He sighed, "We are finally in town again. The last time we were here was ten years ago. It has been so many years."

Grandpa Su He said, "I haven't been here for five or six years. Your uncle and his family came to deliver grain these few times."

As they walked into the town, they lamented that not much had changed here, and it was still almost the same as before, except that some shops had changed their signs and remodeled their front doors.

Su He's father knew that he had to hurry to Hui Medical Hall. Su He jumped out of the car, helped his grandmother get out of the car, and walked into the clinic. When the medicine boy saw Su He coming, he greeted him and told him that Doctor Jin was seeing a patient.

Su He smiled and said, "My grandma is here to see a doctor, too. Go ahead and do your work! We can just go over there."

Su He helped his grandmother walk directly to the clinic. They found a stool outside and sat down first. Su He looked over and saw that Doctor Jin was seeing a patient.
