When Old Man Du and Du Ping saw the money, their pupils dilated involuntarily.

One hundred unions are bundled into one bundle, and Susie has three bundles on each side of her left and right hands.

Neither of them dared to reach out to pick it up. Ruan Zhonghua stepped forward, took the money, and put it in their hands.

The two of them held the money, their hands trembling for a while, and their foreheads were sweating. Let alone they had seen it before, they dared not dream of so much money.

Susie hadn't contacted Mr. Du before because the situation was uncertain. However, she had expected that their life would not be too good. These days, the workers in the city can live a decent life, but the countryside is really suffering.

She had prepared two sets of money in advance, three thousand each, which was insignificant to her and Mr. Du, but it would make the Du family's life much easier.

Su Qian said softly: "Uncle Du, I think you are not in good health, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible."

Uncle Du held the money and shook his head again and again, "This is an old problem of mine, I don't need to look at it, and I can't look at it well."

Susie was a little helpless. The old man must have been poor for so many years, and he was reluctant to see a doctor even if he had money.

At this time, a thin voice sounded in the room, "Yaoguang, he, did he marry another wife outside?"

Su Qian looked at Second Sister Liu. Her big eyes were drooping, and the whites of her eyes were cloudy. She was a little shy, but there was still a ray of hope in her eyes.

Susie knew very well what the hopeful light in Liu Ermei's eyes represented.

Mrs. Du was the only man in Liu Ermei's life. She was Mr. Du's wife, and she kept chastity for him all her life. Since her husband was still alive, she naturally looked forward to the reunion of husband and wife.

However, in Mr. Du's eyes, she was just a vague shadow in his memory, and she only occupied a few short days in his decades of life.

Mr. Du couldn't even remember her name, let alone any relationship between husband and wife.

Su Xi didn't know what to say, Mr. Du should not be married, but she didn't know whether Mr. Du had a woman around him now.

Sensing Su Qian's hesitation, Second Sister Liu hurriedly said, "I, I don't mean anything else. He's outside alone, and no one takes care of him. He should marry another wife. I, I just ask casually."

Su Qian could only sigh at Liu Ermei's virtuousness and generosity. For thousands of years, men have asked women to be chaste, but men themselves have no concept of chastity at all.

She smiled at Second Sister Liu, "I'm not sure about that."

Seeing what Su Qian said, Second Sister Liu didn't ask any more questions, but the light of hope in her eyes obviously dimmed.

Du Ping glanced at Su Xi and hesitated to speak.

Su Qian changed the topic, "Uncle Du, I brought my camera. How about you call the whole family over and take a family portrait so that I can send it to Mr. Du."

Uncle Du waved his hand, "Du Ping, go and call everyone."

He paused, "Don't say what it is, just tell them to come back."

He didn't want to let too many people know about this matter, he was afraid that children who were ignorant would leak their mouths outside, although he didn't do that now, he was still a little afraid.

Du Ping promised, he still had the money in his hand, he picked up the jacket on the bed to cover the wallet, and then went out.

Second Sister Liu suddenly became flustered, stroked her hair, stood up and walked out, "I, I'm going to change clothes."

Susie smiled, "Don't worry, just change slowly. I'm fine anyway, so it doesn't matter how long I wait."

Second Sister Liu gave Su Qian a grateful look, and went out too.

Uncle Du put the money on the bed and covered it with a quilt.

After a while, the Du family came back one after another.

Uncle Du introduced Su Qian one by one. He pointed to a tall guy and said, "This is my grandson, the old man's. He's eighteen this year."

Pointing to a girl with a shy expression, he said, "This is from the second child's family, and he is fifteen this year."

Then two boys in their teens came in, "This one belongs to the second child's family too."

"This child belongs to Du Ping, named Du Pengfei. Du Ping got married late, and his mother-in-law is not in good health, so he gave birth to this one."

Ruan Zhonghua opened the camera case and took several pictures of Du Pengfei.

Du Pengfei looked curiously at the camera in Ruan Zhonghua's hand, as if he wanted to touch it, but he didn't dare to go forward.

Ruan Zhonghua also took two photos for Uncle Du. After a while, the Du family members arrived home one after another.

The room was full of people, and Uncle Du's wife also came back from the vegetable garden and asked, "Why do you call everyone back?"

Uncle Du said: "This is the child of a former friend of mine, come and see me."

"It just so happened that someone had a camera and said they were taking family portraits for us."

The wife hurriedly said: "Say it sooner, I have to comb my hair." Then he went to get the comb.

Susie came out of the room. There were too many people in the room and it was crowded.

Ruan Zhonghua directed the Du family to move the chairs and stools outside. He counted the Du family's total of fourteen people.

After the chairs and stools were set up, everyone came out of the house, and Ruan Zhonghua arranged everyone's seats.

Four chairs are for Uncle Du and his wife to sit on, and the other two are for Liu Ermei and Du Ping.

The rest of the people stood back, and a few smaller children sat on the small benches in front.

Seeing that everyone had sat down and stood up, Second Sister Liu was still in the room.

Du Ping got up to call his mother, Susie smiled, "It's okay, just wait."

In the room, Second Sister Liu had actually heard the voices outside, and knew that a photo was about to be taken.

She looked at a small rusty round mirror hanging on the wall, and suddenly covered her face.

When the man left, she was a big girl. Now she has wrinkles all over her face. She really doesn't want him to see her now.

She only hoped that she would always be that delicate and beautiful girl in his memory.

Liu Ermei covered her face, opened the door after a while, and said to the outside: "You take pictures, I won't take pictures."

Du Ping went over to pull her, "Mom, don't dawdle, just take pictures together."

Liu Ermei held the door frame with one hand, "I don't want to take pictures, I really don't want to take pictures, I don't like taking pictures."

Seeing that Second Sister Liu seemed to be about to cry, Su Qian walked over, "Ma'am, let's just forget about taking pictures."

Du Ping didn't know what was wrong with his mother, and he couldn't say anything, so he went over to take pictures.

Du Ping's wife was dragged to sit next to Du Ping. Ruan Zhonghua found a good angle and took three pictures in succession before saying, "Okay."

Uncle Du got up and directed his eldest son, "Go grab a chicken and kill it, and entertain guests for dinner later."

Just as the eldest son was about to leave, Susie hurriedly said, "Uncle Du, don't worry about it. We'll go to the city later and won't eat here."

Uncle Du was full of anxiety, "What's the matter, you guys who came all the way, you have to eat before leaving!"

Seeing that the eldest son was still standing, he waved his hand, "Hurry up and grab the chicken, and get some more eggs."

The eldest son went to catch chickens, and the second sister Liu also came out of the house at this time, "I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables."

She said to Su Qian: "Sister, let's eat at three or four o'clock, eat early, and it won't delay your business."
