Chapter 109 Reunion with the Liu Sisters

Hearing Yu Weiwei's panicked voice, Su Nuannuan's face, which she had covered with her arm, revealed a sly smile.

To make it look realistic, Su Nuannuan dipped her finger in saliva and dabbed it on the corner of her eye, making her eyes look like she had cried.

After doing all this, Su Nuannuan lowered her arm, looked at Yu Weiwei with slightly red eyes, and said.

"So, will you still accept my gift or not?"

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Yu Weiwei had completely forgotten her previous thoughts and nodded her head vigorously.

"Collect! Collect! Collect!"

Upon hearing Yu Weiwei's words, Su Nuannuan placed the perfume in her hand. After giving the gift, Su Nuannuan continued to drink tea.

"Then Vivi, you absolutely must have this perfume. Otherwise, I'll be heartbroken."

"I'll use it! I'll definitely use it!"

After Yu Weiwei accepted the perfume, Su Nuannuan finally couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing the smile on Su Nuannuan's face, Yu Weiwei was also very happy and smiled as well.

After giving Yu Weiwei's perfume to her, Su Nuannuan took out the off-white silk scarf she was going to give to Zhou Yinglan and Yu Tie's lighter.

"Weiwei, these are gifts for Aunt Zhou and Uncle Yu. Please accept them on their behalf."

Compared to Yu Weiwei's perfume, Zhou Yinglan and Yu Tie's gifts seemed less valuable. Therefore, Yu Weiwei was less resistant to them.

Afterwards, Su Nuannuan chatted with Yu Weiwei for a while and then began to ask her about her recent review progress.

Unlike others, students like Yu Weiwei who are taking the college entrance exam for the second time usually study at home, with the exam arranged by the school. Therefore, those who lack perseverance are prone to giving up halfway.

Yu Weiwei wasn't as smart as Su Daliang; nor did she have Su Daliang to supervise and tutor her like Su Erqiang and Su Sanquan. Therefore, Su Nuannuan was very worried about her studies.

If Yu Weiwei fails to get into university the second time, Su Nuannuan plans to persuade her to apply for a vocational school.

In Su Nuannuan's view, university a few years from now would be like a battlefield, where a slight misstep could lead to serious consequences. At that time, only those from three generations of poor peasant families or orphans of martyrs would be safe from trouble.

Moreover, after the university turmoil subsided, classes would be suspended. That meant the university students who hadn't yet graduated would have wasted their time. Therefore, at that time, attending a vocational school was better than going to university. Vocational schools focused on technical skills, faced less turmoil, and wouldn't be suspended.

However, if Yu Weiwei can get into university this year, Su Nuannuan still hopes that Yu Weiwei will do the same.

Those who pass the exam this year will graduate in four years. The scandal will only emerge then, and it won't affect Yu Weiwei and other graduates.

Yu Weiwei is quite confident about her studies.

Ever since Su Nuannuan sent her a set of "Self-Study Series on Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry," Yu Tie has been urging her to do some of the exercises in the book every day. Sometimes, he even supervises her personally.

Although Yu Weiwei found it somewhat boring, she made great progress.

With the materials Su Nuannuan had prepared for her before, Yu Weiwei's studies are now on track.

Su Nuannuan asked Yu Weiwei some simple questions, and seeing that she could answer them all, she felt much more at ease.

Before we knew it, it was already noon.

When Zhou Yinglan and Yu Tie returned, they saw Su Nuannuan chatting happily with Yu Weiwei, and their eyes lit up.

"Nuan Nuan, you're back?"

When Su Nuannuan saw Zhou Yinglan and Yu Tie, she stood up from her chair and smiled.

"Yes. School's on holiday, so I came back to visit."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, Yu Weiwei showed them the silk scarf and lighter.

"Dad, Mom, this is a gift from Nuannuan to you."

Zhou Yinglan picked up the off-white silk scarf from Yu Weiwei's hand, a surprised smile appearing on her face.

"What a beautiful silk scarf!"

Yu Weiwei then handed the lighter to Yu Tie.

"Dad, this is yours."

Yu Tie took the lighter, tested it in his hand, and found it very smooth. He liked it very much. As the head of the grain station, Yu Tie frequently interacted with others. The simplest way to build rapport was to offer cigarettes, which everyone used to light with matches. Matches were prone to dampness and not very durable. Sometimes, Yu Tie had to replace a box of matches every two or three days, which was extremely inconvenient.

I've heard that Haishi produces lighters that are very easy to light. Yu Tie had only heard of them, but had never seen one.

Unexpectedly, Su Nuannuan gave him a lighter.

The gifts Su Nuannuan gave were very thoughtful, and Zhou Yinglan and Yu Tie both liked them very much.

Unlike Yu Weiwei, they didn't return the items to Su Nuannuan; instead, they generously accepted them.

Zhou Yinglan took Su Nuannuan's hand and said to her.

"Nuan Nuan, stay for lunch today."

Yu Tie then spoke up.

"Yes, it's been a long time since you and Weiwei have seen each other. Weiwei misses you too."

Hearing what the two said, Su Nuannuan accepted their suggestion.

Zhou Yinglan was very happy that Su Nuannuan agreed to stay.

"Honey, go and buy another pound of pork ribs."

"it is good."

After Yu Tie left, Zhou Yinglan took out the persimmons and mooncakes that she had stored at home and gave them to Su Nuannuan to eat.

The mooncakes were filled with red bean paste, which was a bit too sweet, and Su Nuannuan didn't like them. She, however, ate quite a few persimmons. The orange-red persimmons were soft and mushy, and the flesh inside was perfectly ripe.

Su Nuannuan made a small opening at the top of the persimmon and then sucked on it. A mouthful of rich persimmon pulp flowed into Su Nuannuan's mouth, making her eyes light up.

Delicious!
These three words were all that remained in Su Nuannuan's mind. She ate two more. Seeing how much Su Nuannuan enjoyed them, Zhou Yinglan packed up all the persimmons in the house so Su Nuannuan could take them with her when she left.

Su Nuannuan felt a little embarrassed. However, she eventually accepted.

When Yu Tie returned, Zhou Yinglan had already cooked two dishes. She planned to make braised pork ribs and stir-fried vegetables before serving dinner.

These two dishes didn't require much effort, and Zhou Yinglan prepared them in no time.

Yu Tie brought out the dishes, and Zhou Yinglan took out a bowl of steamed white flour buns. The buns were already steamed and only needed to be heated up before eating.

This wasn't the first time Su Nuannuan had eaten at the Yu family's house, and she felt completely at ease while eating.

After Su Nuannuan finished eating, she chatted with the three of them about her time at school before preparing to leave.

When leaving, besides persimmons, Zhou Yinglan also gave Su Nuannuan some red bean paste mooncakes and peach shortbread. Su Nuannuan couldn't refuse her, so she had to accept them.

He waved goodbye to the three of them.

It was still early when she went back. Su Nuannuan put the things she was carrying into her spatial storage and walked back alone.

Feeling the gentle breeze blowing across the open field, Su Nuannuan felt very calm.

As she neared home, Su Nuannuan unexpectedly saw the three Liu sisters. They were carrying baskets on their backs, and it seemed they had just come down from the back mountain.

They were delighted to see Su Nuannuan, and the eldest sister, Liu Zhaodi, took the initiative to greet her.

"Nuan Nuan, you are back."

The second sister, Liu Pandi, was a little shy. She smiled at Su Nuannuan and then said nothing more.

The younger sister, Liu Xiangdi, was lively. She remembered the younger sister who had helped her back then and greeted her happily.

"Hello, Nuannuan."

Su Nuannuan smiled and greeted the other person. Then, she asked...

"You guys, this is it?"

The three sisters exchanged glances, and Liu Xiangdi took the initiative to speak.

"Nuannuan, we're going to the back mountain to dig up medicinal herbs to sell for money."
