Chapter 442 Care
"I was Professor Ouyang's student, and I graduated two years ago. How is Professor Ouyang doing now?"

Ouyang Jingdang's eyes widened, and suddenly, a picture flashed into his mind.

A refined and handsome middle-aged man proudly held up a photograph and spoke to him.

“Jingdang, she is the best student I have ever taught. You must study hard, and when you get into a university in Beijing, your uncle will introduce you to Nuannuan.”

The memory stopped, and Ouyang Jingdang looked at Su Nuannuan, who was smiling gently in front of him, in disbelief.

"You must be Su Nuannuan?!"

Ouyang Suiping had repeatedly praised Su Nuannuan to Ouyang Jingdang, saying how amazing she was. Especially during the New Year's Eve dinner, his uncle would always mention his most outstanding student—Su Nuannuan.

Ouyang Suiping also told him many times that if he weren't so young, he would definitely act as a matchmaker for the two of them.

After learning that Ouyang Jingdang was Teacher Ouyang's nephew, Su Nuannuan developed a lot of goodwill towards him.

Previously, Su Nuannuan had never really liked Ouyang Jing's faction. Even though he was very outstanding, Su Nuannuan still couldn't bring herself to like Ouyang Jing's faction, who was responsible for the conflict between Jiang Jiaojiao and Dong Aihua.

However, it is different now.

Just because the other party is Ouyang Suiping's nephew, Su Nuannuan will not leave him alone.

Because both of them had close relationships with Ouyang Suiping, Su Nuannuan and Ouyang Jingdang became even closer.

The two chatted for a while longer, and when Su Nuannuan saw that it was almost time, she got up to leave.

“Jingdang, I’ll have my mom bring you some food in a bit. These next few days, just focus on recovering in the hospital. Once you’re discharged, don’t go back to Hongqi Village yet. Come to my house, and I’ll have your brother-in-law help you take care of your health.”

Ouyang Jingdang felt a little embarrassed and wanted to shake his head to refuse.

However, Su Nuannuan did not give the other party a chance to refuse.

"It's settled then. I'm heading back now."

After a friendly exchange, Su Nuannuan automatically recognized Ouyang Jingdang as her younger brother.

After get off work, Su Nuannuan went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a big fish.

Seeing Su Nuannuan carrying a large fish and Chen Xiuting holding Dabao, she looked at her with a reproachful expression.

“You can catch fish right by the river at the village entrance, why did you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them? That must have cost you a lot of money.”

Since the birth of their first and second children, Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou's standing in Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting's eyes has steadily declined.

In the past, Chen Xiuting would be the first to support whatever Su Nuannuan did.

But now, every time Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou spend money extravagantly, the old couple keeps nagging.

It's not really fair to say that Chen Xiuting had a problem with Su Nuannuan; it's just that Su Nuannuan's spending habits were based on her previous life.

In today's terms, that would be considered extravagant.

In Chen Xiuting's eyes, Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou were unreliable parents who didn't know how to save money for their two children.

Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun were worried that Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou would spend all their wages and not have enough money to support their two children.

So the elderly couple secretly saved a sum of money for their two grandsons.

Compared to their other grandchildren, Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting's actions inevitably showed favoritism. However, what could they do when their eldest and second grandchildren grew up by their side, and Su Nuannuan was their most beloved daughter?

Moreover, Su Nuannuan treated them very well, which made the elderly couple's hearts lean even more towards Su Nuannuan's family.

Su Nuannuan knew that Chen Xiuting was doing it for her own good, so she wasn't impatient at all.

She placed the fish in the kitchen, took Da Bao from Chen Xiuting, and said.

"This fish was bought for Ouyang, the educated youth."

Chen Xiuting was shocked.

"What? Who did you say it was for?"

Su Nuannuan tapped Da Bao's nose with her finger, then replied, "It's Ouyang Jing's faction."

Chen Xiuting's eyes widened as she thought of Ouyang Jingdang, who was a womanizer in the village. Her face contorted in a grimace, as if she were contemplating something.

Then, Chen Xiuting looked like the sky had fallen and shouted.

"My dear daughter, Mingzhou is such a good boy, you can't let him down!"

Thinking about how kind Dong Zhiqing was before, and how he took Jiang Zhiqing to the hospital immediately after meeting Ouyang Zhiqing, and then thinking about Jiang Zhiqing's attentiveness to Ouyang Zhiqing...

Chen Xiuting's face looked increasingly unpleasant.

Hearing Chen Xiuting's earnest advice, Su Nuannuan picked at her ear and said speechlessly.

"Mom, what are you thinking about!"

Seeing Chen Xiuting like this, Su Nuannuan could easily guess what she was thinking.

Chen Xiuting thought Su Nuannuan was stubborn and looked unhappy, speaking sarcastically.

"How could I possibly think about that? I just don't know what's so great about that Ouyang Jingdang guy, so many good girls are chasing after him. And you... you even bought him fish! I think you're just a stupid fish!"

In Chen Xiuting's eyes, Su Nuannuan had already embarked on a path of 'crime', and her gaze towards her was full of accusation.

Thinking about how good Chu Mingzhou had been to her and her husband, Chen Xiuting was even more disgusted by the fish that Su Nuannuan had bought.

Su Nuannuan was speechless.

She felt that if she didn't say something, Chen Xiuting might throw the fish she brought back out.

“Mom, what are you thinking! My university professor is named Ouyang Suiping. Today, I found out that Ouyang Jingdang is my professor's nephew. Professor Ouyang helped me a lot when I was in school. I was just thinking of taking care of Ouyang, the educated youth.”

Worried that Chen Xiuting wouldn't believe her, Su Nuannuan added one last sentence.

“Mingzhou also knows Teacher Ouyang.”

Hearing that Chu Mingzhou and Ouyang Suiping knew each other, Chen Xiuting felt relieved.

Thankfully, thankfully, my daughter didn't make a mistake.

“What a coincidence! Ouyang, the educated youth, is a family member of your teacher. We must take good care of him. I’ll go kill the fish now.”

Having resolved her doubts, Chen Xiuting is now full of energy.

She used half of the big fish Su Nuannuan brought back to make soup and the other half to braise. Finally, she also chopped up a pound of cured pork to stir-fry.

Su Nuannuan found Chen Xiuting's change somewhat both amusing and exasperating.

When Chu Mingzhou returned from get off work, Su Nuannuan told him about Ouyang Jingdang's affairs.

Chu Mingzhou was also surprised, never expecting that they would have such a connection with Teacher Ouyang.

"I'll take the afternoon off, let's go visit Ouyang, the educated youth."

Chu Mingzhou witnessed firsthand how Ouyang Suiping took care of Su Nuannuan during his university years. He was also very grateful to him.

However, before they could do anything, they had already left Beijing.

Now that Teacher Ouyang's nephew is with them, they must take good care of him.

Su Nuannuan thought so too.

“Once Ouyang is discharged from the hospital, let him stay at our house for a while. You can get him some medicine and help him recover.”

When Su Nuannuan examined Ouyang Jingdang, she found that he was still somewhat weak. Although it wasn't a serious illness, it would definitely affect his future life.

Chu Mingzhou had no objections, nodded, and agreed.

After Chen Xiuting finished cooking, she delivered the meal to Ouyang Jingdang.
