The steaming dumplings were just taken off the stove, and Yang Qinghe had arrived. This kid really had good fortune; as soon as the meal was ready, he showed up!
The Little Old Lady saw Yang Qinghe sitting on his tractor from the outer room and smiled at Zhao Lianzhi. "Indeed, this Young Couple is quite blessed!"
Zhao Lianzhi smiled as she scooped dumplings onto a plate. After being here for so long, she felt that life was becoming more promising by the day. Hearing Zhao Lianzhi say this made the Little Old Lady even happier, her smile wide enough to light up her face. "Of course! Just look at whose granddaughter she is. Their lives are getting better every day, even more prosperous than those in the city. Who in the village wouldn’t look up to her?"
Moreover, her granddaughter and Son-in-law were a perfect match; others could only envy them.
"Grandma, where’s Xiao Yu?" Yang Qinghe jumped off the tractor and called into the house.
This kid hadn’t even entered yet and was already eager to find his wife! The Little Old Lady found it both amusing and endearing, opening the door to let Yang Qinghe in.
Yang Qinghe whispered something in the Little Old Lady's ear, making her smile bloom even wider. She hurriedly asked Zhao Lianzhi to call Yu Songyu.
"You’re here? Why didn’t you come in for dinner?" Yu Songyu asked, puzzled as to why she had been summoned outside.
Seeing Yu Songyu come out, Yang Qinghe took a brand new bicycle off the tractor and placed it in front of her.
"Wow, a bicycle! And it’s a Phoenix brand!"
Yu Songyu jumped down from the steps but nearly stumbled; fortunately, Yang Qinghe was quick enough to steady her.
She would definitely need a bicycle for trips to town; she had really wanted one but didn’t have a ticket to get it. To her surprise, what she wished for had come true, and she felt overjoyed.
"Do you like it?" Yang Qinghe watched Yu Songyu's expression, guessing that she would love it.
"I love it! It’s amazing! Is it really for me?"
Yu Songyu had never seen a vehicle from this era before, and she was quite curious as she looked around.
"Yes, it's for you. This way, it'll be convenient for you to run errands in town!"
Yu Songyu eagerly hopped onto the vehicle and took it for a spin, making sure to bring Xiao He along for the ride. The little girl was thrilled to be on the vehicle for the first time, giggling uncontrollably behind Yu Songyu.
"The food is ready! Come in and eat!"
The Little Old Lady couldn't stop smiling; the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him. She felt a thousand times satisfied with this marriage arrangement.
"Oh, it smells so good!"
Even before entering the house, they could hear Li Xiuzhen's loud voice. Thankfully, they lived far enough from others that they wouldn’t attract jealousy.
"Great, another lucky one!"
The Little Old Lady sighed in relief that there were plenty of dumplings today; otherwise, with so many people, there might not have been enough to go around.
"Li Xiuzhen, go get some bowls and chopsticks!"
The Little Old Lady instructed from her spot on the kang, shifting to make room for Li Xiuzhen.
"Okay, Grandma! Dumplings, yum!"
Li Xiuzhen's eyes lit up at the sight of the dumplings, and she couldn't help but swallow hard, making everyone burst into laughter.
"Xiao Yu, what’s up?"
Li Xiuzhen's mouth was stuffed with dumplings, yet she still tried to speak.
"Uh, let’s talk after we finish eating!"
"What’s there to wait for? Why do we have to wait until after dinner?"
Yu Songyu knew that Li Xiuzhen was impulsive but didn’t mind. She just wondered if Li Xiuzhen would feel comfortable talking in front of everyone.
"Aren't the dumplings good?"
Instead of answering directly, Yu Songyu countered with a question.
"Huh? They’re delicious!"
Li Xiuzhen looked confused; if these weren’t good, she couldn’t imagine what would be.
"If they’re so good, then why aren’t you eating more?"
Yu Songyu chuckled as he picked up a few dumplings from his own bowl and placed them into Li Xiuzhen's bowl. "This will definitely block you up, hehe!"
