"Yeah, yes, it's her. What do you think?" Aunt Wang looked at Su's mother nervously.

"Is she the girl whose boyfriend is dating someone else and is throwing dirty water on her?" Mother Su nervously held Aunt Wang's arm.

"Don't look down on her because of this. She did nothing wrong in that matter. Later, when her ex-boyfriend saw that the truth was revealed, he wanted to use money to shut up her family and make them admit that it was her fault. But her family chased him out with sticks, saying that no matter how poor they were, they would not let their daughter be tainted by this stigma." Aunt Wang was afraid that Su's mother would have a grudge and believe the rumors, so she quickly explained to her.

\"Although Wang Cuilan's family is poor and she has an unmarried brother, her family has no intention of exchanging her for a dowry. Moreover, her family is different from others. They gritted their teeth and let her and her brother go to high school.\" Aunt Wang took a breath and continued. She felt sorry for Wang Cuilan, a good girl. She heard that Su's mother didn't mind marrying Su Kang, a woman with a child. Then Wang Cuilan was a hundred times better than a woman with a child. "It's just that her reputation was ruined because of her ex-boyfriend. She is already 21 years old, and no one is willing to come to propose marriage, so it has been delayed until now."

"What are you talking about? I don't look down on her at all," Su's mother rolled her eyes inwardly, "I'm just excited. If it really is Wang Cuilan, I'll be happy from the bottom of my heart."

Aunt Wang saw Su's mother's reaction and knew her character. She realized that she really didn't look down on Wang Cuilan, so she put her mind at ease and said, "Then I'll ask your Su Kang?"

"Well, please ask," Su's mother nodded quickly, "but I'd like to trouble you to be a little low-key. I want to wait until Tian Fang remarries and then bring Aiguo back home, and then let Su Kang meet her. I don't want to cause any trouble, which might be unfair to Wang Cuilan."

"I understand," Aunt Wang thought of the rumors in the village and understood Su's mother's worries. "Don't worry, I'll quietly tell her family and see how they react."

"Okay, when Su Kang and Wang Cuilan's relationship is settled, I'll send you, the matchmaker, a big carp."

The two smiled at each other and became excited.

Soon it was Aunt Wang's turn, and then it was quickly passed to the next person in line. By the time the sun set in the afternoon, the food for the villagers and educated youth had been distributed, leaving only the two old people in the cowshed. The other people on the village committee wanted to go home early, so they became a little impatient.

After Su Ping saw this, he glanced at Su's father and said to them, "I guess the two people in the cowshed are old and slow, so they haven't arrived yet. How about this, you go back first, and my father and I will wait for them. If it really doesn't work, I will send it to them in the evening. No matter what, we have to finish the food distribution today."

"Okay, then thank you Accountant Su and the team leader." The others were overjoyed when they heard this. They quickly thanked Su's father and Su Ping, packed up their things, and left.

After a while, it was dark. Su An arrived at the threshing ground. Together with Su Ping, he carried the grain for Mr. Du and Mr. Li on his shoulders and walked home. Su's father followed slowly behind them.

When they met villagers on the road, they curiously asked Su Ping and Su Tai why they were carrying grain. Su Ping answered casually, "The people living in the cowshed are old, and it's dark now. We are worried that they might fall or get hurt when they come to collect the grain. If nothing happens, it's fine. But if something happens, won't it cause trouble for our village? So, we carry the grain home first, and then deliver it to them after dinner. This will save our village trouble, and the distribution of grain can be completed today."

"The captain is very thoughtful," the villagers praised, "and he is a kind-hearted captain who is willing to take care of people from the 'five black categories'."

"What are you talking about? This is my duty!" Su Ping laughed and took back the praise for taking care of the "five black categories".

When they got home, Li Yue and Wang Ye had already prepared the meal. Su's father, Su Ping and Su Tai immediately washed their hands and went to the table to eat. Not to mention, the white flour buns made from new grain were so delicious!

After dinner, it was already dark. Su Yunyun carried a basket with 1 jin of sugar, a bottle of malted milk, a bottle of Maotai liquor, and 4 packs of Daqianmen. Su Ping and Han Sen carried the food. Su's father asked Su's mother to carry an unlit kerosene lamp and went to the cowshed.

Today, the villagers distributed food, and everyone had a full stomach. They also went to rest early, so no one was hanging around on the road, and the Su family and their group didn't run into anyone, and they arrived at the cowshed smoothly.

A kerosene lamp was lit in the cowshed. Old Du and Old Li carefully tidied up the cowshed, which was already very tidy. Then the two old men changed into their clothes. Although they were worn out, they were their best clothes. Then they sat on the stools and waited solemnly for the Su family to arrive.

Su's mother lit the kerosene lamp and asked Su Yunyun to knock on the door. When Mr. Du opened the door, the warm and dim light came out, allowing the two sides to meet formally.

Su's father and mother saw that although the faces of the two old men, Du and Li, were full of traces of time, they could tell that they had a peaceful mentality and lived a transparent life. They were not the kind of people who were discouraged and had no interest in life. They admired in their hearts: They are indeed cultured people. They are different from the people in the village and have great wisdom!

Mr. Du and Mr. Li also observed Su's father and mother. They were dressed simply, had firm eyes and simple faces. Their facial lines naturally softened when they looked at the children. They were not as rough and unkempt as some of the villagers. They also understood why the Su children were so likable.

"Mr. Du, Mr. Li, sorry to bother you so late," Father Su took the initiative to greet the two elders, "Here are your food. I'll deliver it to you first."

Mr. Du thanked Mr. Su and invited them in, while Mr. Li guided Su Ping and Han Sen to put the food in the designated location.

"Mr. Du, my Yunyun wants to learn medicine from you," Father Su took out Daqianmen cigarettes for the two of them. Mr. Du didn't smoke and waved his hand to refuse. Mr. Li took it and put it behind his ear. "I didn't expect she would be so lucky. She can learn medicine from you. It's really a blessing from our ancestors."

Hearing what Father Su said, Elder Du smiled and said, "Don't say that. I like Yunyun. She is smart, kind, and ambitious. She is a good candidate for studying medicine. If I miss her, it would be my loss."

"Mrs. Du is too polite. You will have to bear with Yunyun's temper." Father Su did not dare to accept Mrs. Du's praise for Yunyun. He had to be humble and said, "If she does anything wrong in the future, you can say it and scold her. His mother and I will never say anything."

Su's mother also nodded in agreement. She felt very lucky that her daughter could find such a teacher. Otherwise, how could she have such a professor?

"Yunyun is very smart and will definitely do well!" Old Du said hurriedly. In his opinion, Su Yunyun is much better than what her parents said.

"Alright, alright, stop praising this girl. If you keep praising her, she'll be so proud." Elder Li looked at Su Yunyun, who was proudly holding her head high. Elder Du and Su's father were constantly communicating with each other, and thought that he had to interrupt them. "Everyone is here, let's start paying respects to her!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyun immediately stepped forward and took out the things in the basket one by one and placed them on the small cabinet in the cowshed.

When Du Lao saw this, his face turned cold, "What are you doing?"
