The Su family members did not understand what Su Binglan meant but knew it was something good.
Soon after, the family happily kneaded the dough to prepare the fillings and made dumplings together.
Su Binglan was so busy after returning to the village that she almost forgot about Gongsun MO and Lei Tongtong.
The last time she was in Su Teng Village, she knew the two had recovered completely. The young couple had moved out after staying at her family’s house for a while. Even so, they lived in Su Teng Village, near the Su family’s house.
“I finished making some dumplings,” Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an and added, “Let’s send some to Gongsun MO and Lei Tongtong later.”
She knew her husband was eager to see Gongsun Mo.
Luo Jin’an nodded and said, ‘Okay.”
Su Binglan was always attentive, and Luo Jin’an would not have to say anything, yet she would understand his thoughts.
The family made many dumplings with various fillings. After completing a portion, Su Binglan told her parents, “Jin’an and 1 are going to see Gongsun Nio and Tongtong and bring them some dumplings.”
Shen Qiuhua smiled. “All right, you two go ahead. Your father and I will wrap the rest of the fillings together. Besides, Gongsun MO and Tongtong like eating dumplings. Since we’ve made ones with newer fillings, you should send some over for them to try.”
She helped Su Binglan pack some dumplings as she spoke. Then Su Binglan brought her husband to Gongsun MO and Lei Tongtongs place.
The sun had not yet set when the husband and wife left. The setting sun’s afterglow shone on the village, giving it a warm halo. Although it was winter, they did not feel cold because they wore down jackets.
Su Binglan looked at the amber sky and noticed how saturated it was. The village looked warm and inviting, even though the cold winter wind carried a chill.
Her face reddened from the cold, and Luo Jin’an stopped before reaching out to help adjust his wife’s scarf.
Su Binglan no longer felt cold with the scarf wrapped around her. She did not know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt a warmth enveloping her.
She said, “It’s just a short walk away.”
“Yes, but it’ll be freezing when we return later,” Luo Jin’an spoke gently. He sometimes felt his wife neglected caring for herself.
Su Binglan understood Luo Jin’an’s anxiousness and said, “I’m healthy now, not like when I was Lan Ruobing. You don’t have to worry.”
Still, Luo Jin!an could not help himself. He feared Su Binglan would feel too cold or uncomfortable. After all, Lan Ruobing could not stand the cold in the past.
When Su Binglan looked up and saw the look in her husband’s eyes, she could not help but chuckle.
‘So this is what it feels like to be cared for by a Nervous Nellie. I feel genuinely cared for.’
After a while, the couple arrived at Gongsun MO and Lei Tongtongs house. Their house was new, and it seemed that Gongsun MO and Lei Tongtong had planned to settle down here for good.
Meanwhile, Lei Tongtong noticed it was getting late and went to the courtyard to get some firewood for cooking. She asked, “Dear, what do you want to eat tonight?”
Gongsun MO had been busy making wooden toys ever since he recovered. His toys were popular among children. Whenever Su Teng Village opened, Gongsun MO and his wife would set up a stall to sell toys.
Many people bought Gongsun Mo’s wooden toys. Foreign merchants acknowledged his unique toys and would buy more to bring them home to their children.
Business was good since Gongsun Mo’s prices were affordable. Being skilled in woodwork and making toys allowed Gongsun MO and Lei Tongtong to make a living.
Gongsun MO would use his earnings to buy food and provide for his wife. He even bought her whatever she wanted. Although Lei Tongtong did not want anything, he enjoyed pampering her.
He looked at his wife gently and asked, “What do you want to eat tonight?” After some thought, Lei Tongtong said, “l don’t know.”
She wanted to try many things but did not know where to start. Gongsun MO knew his wife well and suggested, “What about instant noodles?”
Instant noodles became everyone’s favorite food when the noodle shop launched their product. Many people bought it, and no matter how much the shop produced, it would still not be enough for everyone.
Previously, Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin had to ship most of their instant and dry chili noodles to the prefecture, so they had very little stock remaining.
They only started selling the products to the public after the war.
Nonetheless, Lei Tongtong liked it, and Gongsun MO bought some for her.
One could eat instant noodles by boiling them in water instead of making them by hand. However, Lei Tongtong enjoyed cooking, so she would add cured sausages and a poached egg to the already delicious instant noodles.
Her eyes lit up when her husband mentioned instant noodles. “Okay, let’s eat that.”
She also enjoyed eating dumplings but had never eaten those too often. She had only tried making dumplings and ate them a few times while staying with the Su family.
However, she felt clumsy and did not know how to wrap them properly. Since that was the case, she did not want Gongsun MO to trouble himself with helping. Therefore, she avoided telling him she also wanted dumplings.
Fortunately, she also loved eating instant noodles with her husband, so that sufficed for her.
Since the young couple would have instant noodles for dinner, Lei Tongtong considered adding chopped green onions, cured sausages, and two poached eggs.
As she and her husband discussed dinner, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an arrived.
When Lei Tongtong saw Su Binglan, the former became so excited that she jumped up and down, exclaiming, “Sister Su, you’re back!”
Lei Tongtong and Gongsun MO had not seen Su Binglan since she left. The young couple typically stayed home during the day and did not know about anything going on outside.
Naturally, they would not know that Su Binglan had returned in the afternoon.
Su Binglan looked at Lei Tongtong and noticed she might have grown taller. However, the latter still behaved like a child. It probably had something to do with Gongsun MO spoiling her so much. Still, it was good to be happy and simple.
“Yes, I’m back. Look what we brought for you.”
Lei Tongtong looked at the things in Su Binglan’s basket and exclaimed again, “Those are dumplings!’
Her eyes lit up while her husband looked at her and shook his head helplessly. Then Gongsun MO said, “Thank you, Sister Su.”
Immediately after, Gongsun MO noticed who was beside Su Binglan—Luo Jin’an.
Luo Jin’an had been standing behind his wife just now, and Gongsun MO only saw him when he entered the house. Gongsun Mo’s head hummed and rang as he subconsciously called out, “Young Marshal Wei!”
Although Gongsun Mo did not have much contact with Luo Jin’an, he remembered his elder brother often meeting and having a good relationship with Young Marshal Wei.
Gongsun MO occasionally met Young Marshal Wei through his brother. Therefore, although Wei Jin’an’s appearance had changed slightly, Gongsun MO immediately recognized him.
Gongsun MO even suspected he was hallucinating. However, he soon realized he was not mistaken..
