Chu Country’s granaries were practically overflowing with grain. The other countries that had established diplomatic ties with Chu Country would buy grain seeds from them.
The various things that Chu Country produced were excellent and popular in other countries as well.
Su Binglan saw many people holding their children’s hands as they strolled around the streets.
Li Dazhuang and Jiang Xiaocheng’s sons were playing with the other neighborhood kids at that moment. Old Madam Li smiled at her great-grandson and said, “Don’t run so fast. You might fall.”
“Yes, Great-Grandma!” The child’s voice was crisp.
Meanwhile, Li Mei and Du Xiaoshuan had twins. Du Xiaoshuan’s mother watched over them so that her son and daughter-in-law could continue working.
Li Mei had even become the tofu factory’s chief manager, and the factory had even doubled in size. Her rewards and salary were much higher than those of many other managers.
On the other hand, Du Xiaoshuan delivered stinky tofu and had more freedom at work. He would go home and spend time with his twin sons whenever he finished work.
His sister had also gotten engaged and would soon get married. Meanwhile, his mother was in good health and always smiling. Over the past three years, many more children were born in Su Teng Village.
Every child was happy and healthy. The place was also safe for them to play whenever they wanted. That was because the neighbors would help take care of them. After all, it took a village to raise a single child.
Furthermore, there were many guards around Su Teng Village, further increasing its safety and security.
The government had also made Blue Mountain Academy a school where students could attend for free. Children would go there as soon as they were of age.
Su Binglan smiled when she saw the hustle and bustle of Su Teng Village. “I feel like the village has become even livelier with so many more children around.”
Luo Jin’an said, “That’s because of the policies that Ruozhu and the government have implemented. Don’t forget about the high grain production. People can also earn a significant living by working in factories.
“Children can attend school for free, and it’ll be easier for them to find jobs after graduating.”
Su Binglan nodded. “You’re right. I like hearing the children’s voices as they play. Let’s have a child, too.”
“What?! Okay!” Luo Jin’an said excitedly.
Su Binglan smiled. “It just so happens that we’ll be staying for a while longer anyway.”
Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua were thrilled now that the couple had returned. Meanwhile, Liu Yinyin carried her one-year-old daughter out of the room. She told her daughter, “Tuan, that’s your Aunt Binglan. Go ahead and greet her.”
“Hey there, Tuan. Do you know who I am?” Su Binglan asked as she watched her little niece reach out to hug her.
Su Tuan said softly, “Hello, Aunt Binglan.”
Su Binglan laughed. “That man over there is your Uncle Jin’an. Go say hi.”
Su Tuan’s eyes lit up when she saw Luo Jin’an. She hurried over and urged him to carry her, saying, “You’re pretty, Uncle Jin’an. Carry me.”
Liu Yinyin helplessly shook her head and smiled. “She probably only wants Jin’an to carry her because he’s handsome.”
Luo Jin’an had a gentle expression as he carried his little niece. She then hugged him and even kissed his cheek.
“She’s so clever for her age.” Su Binglan found Su Tuan adorable.
Luo Jin’an looked at his new niece, thinking he would also like to have a daughter with Su Binglan. He also hoped his future daughter would look like his wife. No matter what, he would dote on his child to no end.
A while later, Su Xuexuan appeared with a two-year-old boy. When the little boy saw Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an, he greeted them, “Hello, Aunt Binglan and Uncle Jin’an.”
The boy was Su Wenwu and Ye Feiran’s son, Su Xuedong.
After Ye Feiran settled her family affairs, Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua visited Ye Feiran’s parents with Su Wenwu to propose a marriage. Soon after, the two families became one when Su Wenwu and Ye Feiran got married.
Since Su Wenwu and Ye Feiran were still busy with their various businesses, Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua helped care for Su Xuedong.
Su Wenwu and Ye Feiran developed a habit of staying in Su Teng Village for half a year and then in the south for the other half. Sometimes, Ye Feiran would even bring her parents to visit Su Teng Village.
The older couple were impressed when they first visited.
