Chapter 505: What are you doing?
Before the Su family could react, Aunt Li continued, "Look at how many college students your family has. There will be many more in the future. For example, Xiaohao should be in the second year of high school, and next year he will be another college student!"
Mother Su smiled at this time, "It's all thanks to the children!"
"You are too modest!" Aunt Li waved her hands and said, "Everyone in the village said that in addition to your children's hard-working, your family also has good feng shui. Otherwise, how could Grandpa Zhang's grandson be admitted to university? He was not a good student before, but after moving to the old house before yours, it was as if his brain had been enlightened. As people say, he makes rapid progress. And my youngest son's son, although he is still young, he learns everything very quickly. Others say that he will go to university in the future. This should be the credit of Yunyun's house."
After saying this, Aunt Li continued to praise, "So, in the final analysis, your house has good feng shui. It not only protects your family, but also those of us who moved in later have been blessed."
"You are exaggerating!" Although the current atmosphere is not as strict as before, and matters related to gods, Buddhas, and Feng Shui can be discussed face to face, Su's mother does not want this matter to be mentioned frequently. After all, in her eyes, it is better to be cautious so as not to give others a handle and cause unnecessary trouble.
"That's not an exaggeration," Aunt Li shook her head. "My eldest son blames me for not exchanging the old house with you guys before. If I had, my eldest grandson would probably have been able to get into a good university."
"You guys are a little obsessed!" Mother Su didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so she found another reason, "You just mentioned Master Zhang. We have to go see him when we come back this time."
"Oh, don't go," Aunt Li said with some regret, "He went there two years ago!"
"..." Su's mother and father both looked incredulous, "Isn't he in good health?"
"That's good, but this is a happy funeral," Aunt Li explained quickly, "He died of old age. After all, his age was there, and it was his blessing to die without pain or disaster."
"Let's go and burn some incense and paper for him later." Su's father reminded Su's mother, and Su's mother nodded to indicate that she had taken note of it.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. How long will you stay this time?" Aunt Li asked quickly because she didn't want them to fall into grief.
"You can only stay for five days, then you have to go back," Su's mother replied immediately, "Everyone has to go to work, and the children have to go to school, so you can't stay for long."
"Okay, I'll cook all the dishes here for you these few days so you can enjoy them to your heart's content," Aunt Li said as she waved her hand and made arrangements. "Even if we cook the same way in Beijing, we probably won't be able to make the dishes taste like those in my hometown because the water is different!"
"You're right!" Mother Su slapped her thigh when she heard this, and suddenly realized, "I've tried many times with my eldest daughter-in-law and her friends in Beijing, but we can't make the same taste. It seems that the reason lies in the water!"
So Su's mother and Aunt Li started discussing it together. Seeing this, Su's father shook his head helplessly, then signaled his sons and daughters-in-law to move around freely, and he also went out for a walk.
Su Yunyun and Han Sen took Du Lao, Lin's mother, Zhang Ming and Cao Dan to wander around the village, explaining from time to time how they used to live in Dongshan Village, working from sunrise to sunset.
It was not until the sun was about to set that they and the children gathered again at Aunt Li's house.
"If you don't come back, I'll ask someone to look for you," Aunt Li said, wearing an apron. "You have to go back to town later, so let's eat this meal early."
Then Aunt Li asked everyone to take a seat, and her daughters-in-law brought the prepared food to the table.
Su Yunyun saw that the dish had chicken, fish, meat and eggs, and said, "Aunt Li, today's meal cost you too much!"
"Why spend so much? These dishes are not like before, when we could only eat one or two during the Chinese New Year and thought it was a big deal. Life is much better now, and we don't feel bad about eating them occasionally," Aunt Li said cheerfully. "Besides, the specialties you brought back cost as much as the dishes on the table!"
"According to Aunt Li's meaning, if you come back to eat next time, you have to bring some local specialties with you so that you can exchange them for food!" Su Yunyun joked.
"Oh, please don't," Aunt Li refused immediately. "What's our relationship? You can come over anytime these days, but if you bring anything with you, I won't provide meals for you!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Su Yunyun replied with a smile.
After dinner, Han Sen went to the brigade headquarters to borrow a phone to call the driver of the tractor in the town. After they chatted for a while, it gradually got dark and the tractor arrived.
Everyone said goodbye to Aunt Li, agreed to come back to the village in two days, and then got on the bus back to town.
In the next two days, except for those who were going back to their mother's home to visit relatives, everyone else went to stroll around the county town. When Su Yunyun saw the changes in the county town, she was deeply moved. The people's lives have improved!
Han Sen also took the time to find Lu Feng to chat about his recent situation and communicate his feelings, and of course there were other reasons.
They were so leisurely that they didn't know that someone in Dongshan Village was eagerly waiting for them.
These people are mainly from the Tian family and the Han family.
In fact, they learned the news from other people on the day the Su family returned, and then secretly followed and watched them.
When they found that they were dressed in bright clothes and had rosy complexions, and it was obvious that they were living a very good life outside, the jealousy in their hearts was like weeds that made them sink deeply into a sea of regret.
The Han family thought that if they had not signed the severance agreement with Han Sen, the Tian family thought that if they could hold Aiguo tightly in their hands, their lives would surely be prosperous, and they would not have to live on plain food and not have enough food and clothing like they do now.
So they all decided to find Han Sen and Aiguo to reestablish their relationship.
No matter what means he used, he had to tie his family together with them. This way, he could not only improve his own life in the future, but also go to the capital and live the life of city dwellers.
So these two days they came to Aunt Li's house from time to time to find out when the Su family would come to the village again.
Aunt Li never treated them well because she was keenly aware that they were paying New Year's greetings to chickens like weasels and had no good intentions, so she said impatiently that she didn't know and drove them away.
But these two families seemed to be drowning people who had grabbed a life-saving straw. They clung to Aunt Li and insisted that she give them a definite answer.
Aunt Li was so helpless being pestered that even her own life was affected. For example, when she was having lunch, the two families did not leave but stared at the food on their table, saying that they were welcome to serve themselves, but then they picked up their chopsticks and wolfed down the food on the table.
Aunt Li's family was stunned when they saw this scene. When they reacted, they found that the food on the table had already been eaten up by them in a flash.
"What are you doing?" Aunt Li was furious.
