After having Rhubarb, the three of Su Ruanruan were busier than before, but they were also more fulfilling.
If you have nothing to do, teaching Rhubarb and playing with Rhubarb is a good pastime.
Not long after, Su Ruanruan received a reply from Xiao Chengjin and got the answer to the question he had asked before.
—Do you prefer a daughter or a son
—I like you and the children you gave birth to.
Su Ruanruan recited these two sentences over and over in her mind several times, unable to hide the smile on her face.
Not to mention Grandma Chen and Su Aimin, even Dahuang felt Su Ruanruan's good mood.
As September enters, the weather becomes cooler.
Taking advantage of the rest during the day and working the night shift at night, Su Ruanruan decided to go back to the third production brigade.
Even though it’s only September now, it’s getting cold very quickly.
So before the weather gets colder, she has to get two loads of firewood.
She and Xiao Chengjin had done this together before.
But now that Xiao Chengjin is away, Xiao Aiguo and Qian Aiju are even busier at work than she is, so Su Ruanruan wants to take care of things first while she has time.
Su Ruanruan got up at dawn. After eating, she rode her bicycle back to the third production brigade.
She went back alone and rode faster. In almost an hour, Su Ruanruan had already entered the third production brigade.
Su Ruanruan went directly to Xiao's house. The autumn harvest had passed by now, and more than half of the busiest days of the year had passed. The next step was to plow the land and plant some vegetables. It was not as busy as before.
When Su Ruanruan arrived at Xiao's house, Luo Yufeng was working in the yard.
The domestic cat Su Ruanruan walked in pushing the car. Luo Yufeng dropped what she was doing and ran towards Su Ruanruan.
"Ruanruan is back! Are you tired from the journey? Is it hot? Are you thirsty? Just wait, I'll get you a glass of sugar water!"
In Luo Yufeng's mind, she still regarded Su Ruanruan as a child. Every time she saw Su Ruanruan, she would either let Su Ruanruan drink sugar water or give Su Ruanruan gummy candies.
Su Ruanruan didn't want to let down Luo Yufeng's kindness, so she sat in the yard and waited with a smile.
Not long after, Luo Yufeng came out with a tea jar, "Drink quickly! Let's talk after drinking!"
Su Ruanruan nodded fiercely and started drinking without refusing.
After riding for an hour, she was indeed tired and thirsty now.
After drinking all the water in the teapot in one breath, Su Ruoruan asked about Luo Yufeng's current situation.
After the two people talked for a while, Su Ruanruan thought of the letter Xiao Chengjin sent back a few days ago, so she took it out and gave it to Luo Yufeng.
"Grandma Luo, this is the letter Cheng Jin sent back a few days ago. It's for you and Grandpa Xiao."
Luo Yufeng was not literate, so she turned over the letter several times and handed it back to Su Ruanruan, "I'm not literate, Ruanruan, just read it to me."
There were never any secrets in the letters Xiao Chengjin wrote back. Su Ruanruan was not afraid of seeing something she shouldn't, so she took the letter and read it.
A letter was only two pages long and was read quickly.
When Su Ruanruan folded the letter properly, she looked up and saw Luo Yufeng wiping tears from her red eyes.
"Cheng Jin is a child who doesn't endure hardships when he is away from home. But he doesn't say anything, just say okay, okay! He also asked us to pay attention to our health. What else should we pay attention to at home..."
