Su Congwen stood for a long time, as if he was about to become a tree taking root.
He looked at Li Xiufang and her daughter who were crying and almost fainting, and at the solemn and sad villagers. After saying goodbye to Brother Zhang for the last time in his heart, he turned around and left silently.
"Mom, uncle is gone." Huahua, whose eyes were red from crying, looked at the road out of the village and said to Li Xiufang.
Li Xiufang looked at Su Congwen's leaving figure and hugged Huahua tightly, "Uncle, like your father, is also a hero. He still has many things to do."
"Okay." Huahua nodded confusedly. She didn't know what a hero was, but she knew that this uncle was a very, very powerful person like her father.
After the funeral, many people in the village expressed concern for Li Xiufang and her daughter. Zhang Jianlin even said that if there are any difficulties in the future, he can tell the brigade and they will definitely solve it if they can.
Li Xiufang nodded. After sending everyone away, she was exhausted physically and mentally. She sat in a chair in a daze, looking at the sky outside, feeling confused about the future.
"Mom." Huahua opened the things Su Congwen left behind, her eyes widened, "That's a lot of money."
Li Xiufang was stunned, and quickly looked over. There was a neat stack of money, with odd bits and pieces, including cents. This was left by Su Congwen. All the allowances he had saved before were here, leaving only for himself. money to go home.
She looked at the money and her nose felt sore again.
——————
Su Congwen returned to Anding City again. He stood on the street and looked around at the people coming and going. His eyes were blank for a moment. Brother Zhang has gone home, so where should he go next?
He stood for a long time, until he saw a pair of parents taking their children home, and he suddenly escaped from the heavy emotions. It was time for him to go home, and his family was still waiting for him.
Thinking like this, he felt urgent to go home. He wanted to tell his family the news of his return as soon as possible. It was too slow to write letters and send telegrams. Su Congwen couldn't wait, so he found a place and made a phone call directly. He returned to the steel factory in Luoshui County and looked for his elder brother Su Congjun, wanting to tell him that he was about to return home.
"Looking for Su Congjun? He's not here." A familiar local accent came from the other side, but Su Congwen was stunned.
Isn't it time to go to work now? Why didn't eldest brother go to work? What happened?
"Who are you from Su Congjun?" the person opposite asked doubtfully.
"I am his younger brother Su Congwen." Su Congwen replied, "Didn't my brother go to work today?"
The person opposite thought for a moment and seemed to have heard that Su Congjun had two younger brothers. One worked in the county textile factory and the other was serving as a soldier. "No, he asked for leave. The whole family went to the capital to attend a wedding. You are his Brother, don’t you know?”
Su Congwen was startled, "Wedding?"
"It's his sister, Su Qingyun's wedding." The person opposite said, "I left yesterday."
"Then please, do you have the address of the specific place they went to in the capital?" Su Congwen asked hurriedly.
"The address? Yes, I have to look for it."
Su Congjun had to write a letter of introduction when he went to the capital, and the address of his destination would be written on it.
"Thank you." Su Congwen thanked him.
After getting the address, he directly bought a train ticket to the capital, and his heart went straight to the relatives he missed.
"Sneeze! Sneeze!" Zhang Xinlan, who was far away in the capital, sneezed twice in a row. She rubbed her nose and muttered, "Who is scolding me behind my back?"
"Who has the time to scold you?" Wu Guixiang rolled her eyes, "Are Congjun and Congwu coming soon?"
"Probably." Li Xiulian said, "The train arrived at five o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay, you go pick them up later." Wu Guixiang ordered, "I will accompany Yun Yun to try on wedding clothes later."
Su Qingyun's wedding dress was specially made by a master craftsman from Beijing who was specially hired by Su Aimin. Because time was tight, he also spent a lot of money. The fabrics, colors and other materials were the best, and even the styles were found by him. After someone designed it, let Su Qingyun confirm it.
"Okay." Li Xiulian and Zhang Xinlan both nodded.
When she went to try on clothes, Su Qingyun didn't see her parents, so she asked her, "Hey, where are my parents?"
"I'm going out. I have something to do. I'll go try on clothes with you."
"Okay." Su Qingyun didn't think much about it.
"Let's go, Master Ren is probably already waiting."
"good."
The grandfather and grandson went out to try on clothes, while others went to pick up Su Congjun and the others.
"Try to see if it fits first. If it doesn't fit, can you change it?" When they arrived at the place, the old master took out the wedding dress and handed it to Su Qingyun.
"Okay, thank you."
Su Qingyun went into the inner room to change clothes, while Wu Guixiang was waiting outside.
Soon, she came out, and Wu Guixiang's eyes lit up when she saw her granddaughter's appearance.
"Good-looking! So beautiful!"
She kept praising that this was not a granddaughter filter.
Su Qingyun's wedding dress is red, but it is not a red that is too bright and flamboyant, but a slightly darker red, but it does not look gloomy and obscure.
The style is a top and skirt design. There is a beautiful flower on the side of the slanted collar. The irregular and delicate buttons outline her slender waist after being buttoned. The skirt has a fishtail design, and the overall look is It is both fashionable and elegant, perfectly integrated with Su Qingyun's temperament.
The old master also watched with satisfaction as the clothes he made were worn by the right people.
"Yunyun, take a quick look, there's a mirror over there." Wu Guixiang urged.
"good."
Su Qingyun stood in front of the mirror, looked left and right, and felt good.
"Not bad, it fits well, that's it." She nodded with satisfaction.
Ji Yue's clothes were also custom-made here. He was a well-tailored suit, but he didn't have time to try it on. Su Qingyun and the others could only take the clothes back and let him put them on when the time came.
As soon as the grandfather and grandson returned home with their clothes, they saw Su Aimin and Qin Ying coming back in a hurry, with happy faces.
"Yunyun, let's go, let's go somewhere with dad."
"What?" Su Qingyun was stunned. She had just come back and hadn't even sat down yet.
"Let's go." Her mother also urged.
"Okay." Su Qingyun called to her, "Nay, let's go together."
"Okay." Wu Guixiang smiled and followed, as if she knew something.
Su Qingyun thought the place he was going to was far away, but he arrived within a few steps. It was only two blocks away from Oak Alley, where a commercial housing complex had just been built.
"Mom and Dad, what are we doing here?" Su Qingyun was confused.
Su Aimin pointed to the building in front and said, "Yunyun, look over there."
Su Qingyun looked over doubtfully.
"The fourth floor is the house your mother and I bought for you." His tone was proud, and it felt like he was giving advice.
What? The house you bought? Su Qingyun was stunned for a moment.
