They arrived in Wutong County around 11 a.m. Shen Qinghuai told Liu Qiushui that he was almost home and that there was no need to cook lunch today, so they could go straight to the restaurant. After hanging up, he took Lu Sui to the supermarket to buy gifts.

Liu Qiushui was still rummaging through drawers and cupboards. Hearing they were almost home, she started even more frantic. Xu Suya stood at the living room door and knocked, "Qiushui!"

"I'm inside! Come on in!"

"I'm not going in. These are sweet potato leaves I picked from the vegetable garden. I ran into Old Wang on the way. He said he went fishing in the river and dug up a bag of lotus roots. He shared some with us. I'm leaving them at the door for you!"

"OK!"

"Then I'll be leaving first."

"good!"

Liu Qiushui put the things she found under her pillow and went to wash the sweet potato leaves and lotus root shoots that Xu Suya had mentioned. Seeing that the bag was full, she walked to the wall and said, "Why did you give me so much?"

"Isn't Qinghuai coming back soon? Put some in the fridge so you can cook for him later. It'll get even hotter in a few days, and nobody's going to go down to the river then."

Liu Qiushui felt a warm glow in her heart. After washing herself clean, she put the clothes in the refrigerator. In the meantime, she took a shower, changed into new clothes, combed her hair neatly, and turned on the air conditioner in Shen Qinghuai's room. She also left her own room door open to lower the temperature in the living room.

At midnight, Shen Qinghuai and Lu Sui arrived home on time. He didn't let Lu Sui get out of the car; he carried all the things down himself. Liu Qiushui heard the car and quickly came out, taking things out of her pocket. Not seeing Lu Sui, she asked, "Where's Xiao Lu?"

"Mom, you sit in the car too. We'll go eat after I take all my things down."

"Okay." Liu Qiushui opened the back door and got in. She wanted to take the things out now, but she felt it wasn't the right time. Being too hasty would seem unprofessional. So she leaned out to chat with Lu Sui. Before she could speak, she heard Lu Sui say, "Hello, Auntie."

Liu Qiushui's eyes crinkled into slits with laughter. "You got a haircut?"

"Yeah, it's hot, and my hair feels heavy."

"You look good with your haircut." Liu Qiushui leaned on Lu Sui's chair as she spoke to him. Lu Sui turned to listen. "Has that brat been bullying you lately?"

"…without."

"I'll say it again: if he bullies you, tell me, and I'll beat him up."

"Um."

"She's so beautiful, and her voice is lovely too," Liu Qiushui muttered.

Although her voice was soft, Lu Sui still heard it clearly: "I'm not a girl."

Liu Qiushui immediately became nervous, "I...I know, I definitely didn't think of you as a girl."

"You don't object?"

"I don't object. I'm getting old and it's time for me to start enjoying life. Whether I hold my grandchildren or not doesn't matter."

Otherwise, she would have to clean up after the baby and listen to the baby cry. Any bumps, falls, or injuries would be considered a sin. She could guarantee that she was a good mother-in-law, but she couldn't guarantee that her daughter-in-law would be a good daughter-in-law. The current balance was good enough. The money she had saved was enough for her and Zhao Wenxiu to live a good life in their old age.

Lu Sui seemed thoughtful, then asked, "How do you want to enjoy life? Is one million a month enough?"

Liu Qiushui's vision blurred. "That's not what I meant! I didn't ask you for money! I... oh dear, how did our conversation turn out like this!"

Seeing her anxious expression, Lu Sui was somewhat puzzled, but sincerely continued to ask, "What about the two million? I'll buy you another villa, and you can enjoy life by watching flowers, swimming, and shopping every day, isn't that considered living a life of luxury?"

Two million?!

The number nearly made Liu Qiushui faint. She waved her hands repeatedly. Shen Qinghuai had just finished talking to Xu Suya, locked the door, and got into the car. Liu Qiushui seemed to have found her pillar of support. She clung to the driver's seat and said, "Qinghuai, tell Xiao Lu that his money is his, and I don't want it."

Shen Qinghuai asked what they were talking about earlier. After learning the whole story, he patted Lu Sui's hair and said that one million was a lot. Some people don't even spend 50,000 a year. Lu Sui then realized that he had scared Liu Qiushui a bit. He then asked Liu Qiushui how she could be considered to be enjoying a life of luxury.

Liu Qiushui said, "Now I'm just enjoying life. When I'm free, I'll open the noodle shop for a few days, and when I'm tired, I'll close it and rest. I eat well, drink well, and sleep well every day. When I miss you all, I'll call you... Why do I think I hear a child crying?"

"It's not a child, it's something we won't abandon."

Once we started talking about not losing anything, we had something to talk about along the way.

restaurant.

Liu Qiushui opened the handkerchief, inside was a bracelet, very beautiful, with a very clear and fine texture, only a little bit of floating cotton, and small pieces of naturally transitioning green jadeite.

"Xiao Lu, this was passed down to me by my mother, and now I'm passing it on to you."

Shen Qinghuai was somewhat taken aback, because he had never seen this bracelet before.

It's clear how much Liu Qiushui cherished her.

Lu Sui hesitated for a moment, then didn't answer. Instead, he turned on the QR code scanning function on his phone. Shen Qinghuai helped him turn it off, saying, "Your mother gave you the bracelet because she likes you a lot. We're close friends, so there's no need for money to make up for it."

"…Um."

When Liu Qiushui saw Lu Sui wearing it on his wrist, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. "It looks really good."

"Thanks."

"You're my son now too. No need to thank me for giving him this." After she finished speaking, she took out another red envelope, almost the same thickness as the last one, and handed it to Lu Sui.

Lu Sui shook his head, "No."

"Take it, it's all from my heart."

Lu Sui looked at Shen Qinghuai, saw him nod, took the bag and put it in her bag, "Thank you... Mom."

"!" Liu Qiushui rubbed her knees and exclaimed excitedly.

I wanted to say that this wasn't a fee for changing my address, but I swallowed my words back. Anyway, changing my address was just a matter of time.

Her reaction made Lu Sui feel embarrassed.

Lu Sui enjoyed the meal, and Liu Qiushui was happy too. Seeing Shen Qinghuai wiping Lu Sui's mouth and serving him food, she felt a pang of emotion.

When it comes to dating, as long as there is love, you can date. What does gender have to do with it?

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Qiushui sat in the living room feeding Bu Diu, pinching its little paws, and said that Bu Diu was really just like a child, whimpering and whimpering.

Lu Sui looked at him and said with certainty, "You like children."

Liu Qiushui got nervous again, stammering and unsure of what to say. Shen Qinghuai gave Liu Qiushui a reassuring look and asked Lu Sui if he wanted to sleep. Lu Sui nodded, and he led Lu Sui back to the room, pushing the two suitcases and their contents into the room.

As soon as the door closed, Shen Qinghuai cupped Lu Sui's face and kissed him, "Are you unhappy?"

"I can't have children."

Seeing that his eyes were red, Shen Qinghuai picked him up and said, "Everyone loves a cute child. You're so cute, I love you to bits. But liking someone and wanting them are two different things (all characters are much older than adults)."

"Do you want to?"

"In no mood."

"lie."

"I really don't want to have a child. If I have a child, I will have to take some of the energy I need to take care of you. I will always feel like I owe you something. Maybe I will hurt you without my knowledge. I don't want to be unable to detect your emotions in time. You will always be more important to me than the child."

Lu Sui hugged Shen Qinghuai's neck, rubbing her face against his, "It feels so full."

Shen Qinghuai's eyelids twitched. "Where is it swollen?"

"heart."

"Because you were moved by what I said. If other parts of your body are bloated, it's probably because you ate too much."

"...You said that close relatives don't need to give money to compensate, then what should they give?"

"That statement is not comprehensive. If a relative gives a gift, we should bring them a gift next time. If it's Mom, then our care and love in return are more valuable than money. If the gift is very expensive, we should give money, but this money cannot be used to offset it. In today's situation, our little one doesn't need to give anything; she just needs to accept it."

"Can't understand."

"You'll understand later." Shen Qinghuai rubbed Lu Sui's thigh. "I don't care if you can have children or not, the outcome is not important."

"What's important?"
