Chapter 104 The Happy Su Family

However, to their even greater surprise, Su Nuannuan took out a bag of strawberries and grapes from her large bag.

As soon as the strawberries and grapes were brought out, everyone smelled the wonderful aroma of the fruit.

Upon seeing these two kinds of fruit, the Su family members all swallowed hard.

Su Erqiang stared intently at the strawberries and grapes in Su Nuannuan's hand, his mouth watering. At the same time, Su Erqiang pointed at the strawberries and asked Su Nuannuan a question.

"Nuan Nuan, what's this?"

They had seen watermelons and grapes, but never strawberries.

In the past, they would only pick wild fruits on the mountain to eat; they never bought any at home.

Strawberries were introduced to China much later than watermelons and grapes. People living in the far northeast of China had never seen this fruit before. Therefore, Su Nuannuan wasn't surprised that the Su family didn't recognize strawberries.

Su Nuannuan handed the strawberries to Su Erqiang and said.

"These are strawberries; you can eat them after washing them. I bought these fruits specifically in Beijing and brought them back for you to try."

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Su Erqiang immediately picked up a strawberry, wiped it on his clothes, and put it in his mouth.

Seeing Su Erqiang enjoying himself with his eyes closed, everyone swallowed even more frequently.

Su Sanquan patted Su Erqiang on the shoulder and said.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

Su Erqiang opened his eyes, nodded vigorously, and tried to reach into the bag to take out strawberries.

Seeing this, Su Jianjun slapped Su Erqiang's hand and snatched the bag of strawberries.

"Wait for your mom to come back, then we'll all eat together."

Su Sanquan, who had been somewhat eager to try, suppressed his desire.

After Su Jianjun put the fruit away, Su Nuannuan started taking things out of the big bag again.

At this point, the large bag was less than one-fifth deflated, and there were still many things inside that hadn't been taken out. Everyone was eagerly anticipating what would happen next.

Su Nuannuan reached out and took out fountain pens, which she intended to give to Su Daliang and the other two. The pens were packaged in long, black boxes, and each pen also came with a bottle of ink, making them look very high-end.

She took out three boxes of fountain pens and handed them to Su Daliang.

"Big brother, this is a gift I brought for you. You, second brother, and third brother can share it."

Su Daliang felt a little embarrassed upon receiving his sister's gift. Before he could say anything, Su Erqiang and Su Sanquan squeezed in.

"Big brother, quickly open it and see what's inside?"

Su Er's impatient voice came through, and Su Sanquan nodded, looking eager to see.

Su Daliang smiled helplessly and handed two of the boxes to Su Erqiang and Su Sanquan.

"Take it, see for yourselves."

The two took the box and lovingly touched its exquisite packaging. At that moment, Su Daliang opened the box, revealing a black fountain pen and ink set inside.

A look of surprise flashed in Su Daliang's eyes as he looked at Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, thank you for the pen. Big brother likes it very much."

Su Erqiang and Su Sanquan also really liked the fountain pen that Su Nuannuan gave them. You see, at that time, many students considered it an honor to own a Hero brand fountain pen.

Both of them thanked Su Nuannuan.

Just then, a voice came from the door.

"Jianjun, come out quickly and help me carry my things."

Chen Xiuting is back.

Su Nuannuan quickly put down the things she was carrying and ran out of the house, where she saw Chen Xiuting carrying large and small bags into the house.

When Chen Xiuting returned, she didn't ride in an oxcart, nor did she see any villagers. Therefore, she didn't know that Su Nuannuan had returned.

Upon seeing Su Nuannuan, Chen Xiuting's face lit up with surprise, and she dropped what she was holding on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan quickly ran to Chen Xiuting.

"mom."

Unable to contain her excitement, Chen Xiuting grabbed Su Nuannuan's hand and looked her up and down. "You've grown taller and thinner."

Su Jianjun and his three brothers also came over and helped Chen Xiuting pick up the things she had thrown on the ground.

"Mom, I brought you a gift. Let's go home and see it."

"it is good."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan pulled Chen Xiuting into the house. Su Jianjun and the three Su brothers followed behind them.

The mother and daughter walked ahead, holding hands and chatting intimately.

"Nuan Nuan, why are you back?"

"Isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day? The school has a ten-day holiday, so I wanted to come back and see you all."

"That's great. Mom will make dumplings for you today."

"Okay. Mom, I'll tell you..."

……

When the group arrived at the main room, Chen Xiuting saw two bottles of Moutai liquor and two large bags of fruit on the table.

"Nuan Nuan, did you bring all of these back?"

Chen Xiuting could not hide her surprise.

Su Nuannuan nodded.

"I bought it in Beijing and brought it back especially for you to try."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, she took out the gift she had prepared for Chen Xiuting from her large bag.

"Mom, this is the gift I prepared for you. Take a look and see if you like it?"

Su Nuannuan held two boxes of face cream and a green silk scarf in her hands, her eyes shining as she looked at Chen Xiuting.

Chen Xiuting, who was about to say that her daughter was wasting money, swallowed her words when she met Su Nuannuan's expectant eyes, and happily accepted the face cream and silk scarf.

Chen Xiuting preferred the silk scarf that Su Nuannuan brought back to her rather than the face cream.

She gently stroked the silk scarf with her hand, a look of joy flashing in her eyes.

When Chen Xiuting was young, she was a beautiful girl in the surrounding villages. But after having children, she became reluctant to spend a penny on herself. Years of hard work made her face rough, and compared to people of the same age in the county town, she looked much older.

Seeing how much Chen Xiuting liked the silk scarf, the Su family felt quite uneasy.

Su Sanquan was the first to break the silence.

"Mom, when I go to college, I'll buy you a silk scarf too."

Su Erqiang also answered actively.

"I'm buying a dress for my mom."

Su Daliang didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes showed that he shared the same thoughts as his two younger brothers.

Seeing this scene, a hint of relief flashed in Su Jianjun's eyes.

He stepped forward, picked up two bottles of Moutai liquor from the table, and introduced them.

"This is the wine my daughter bought for me."

After saying that, a hint of smugness flashed across his face.

Su Erqiang and Su Sanquan also took out the fountain pen that Su Nuannuan had given them and showed it to Chen Xiuting.

"Mom, look, this is the fountain pen that Nuannuan bought for us."

Su Daliang smiled and, together with his two younger brothers, opened the pen box to show Chen Xiuting.

Seeing that everyone in the family had received a gift from Su Nuannuan, Chen Xiuting's face showed a hint of relief, and she took Su Nuannuan's hand and said.

"Nuan Nuan, you're not allowed to buy so many things for the family anymore. You can keep your money for yourself."

Since learning that Su Nuannuan could earn money through translation, her family was no longer worried about her living conditions in Beijing. Chen Xiuting knew that Su Nuannuan had money, but she hoped that Su Nuannuan could save it and use it as a source of support.

Su Nuannuan nodded, knowing that Chen Xiuting was doing it for her own good.
