Chapter 171 Arrived home
At the east end of the village, at the old Li family's house, Uncle Li was sitting at the door smoking a pipe.
He listened to passersby talking about Su Panpan and couldn't help but sigh, "Su Panpan is really capable. Look how generous she is. She gave me meat, cakes, scarves, hats and gloves. When will I be able to have such a blessing?"
Uncle Li's wife also nodded in agreement: "That's right, if our sons had half the ability of Panpan, we old couple would be very satisfied."
At the home of Widow Xu at the west end of the village, several women sat together doing needlework, and their topic was always about Su Panpan.
"Have you heard? Su Panpan's house in town is really magnificent. I heard that she even hired a lot of craftsmen to help build it."
"Oh, this person has accumulated virtue. He is so kind to the people in our village. This is all a blessing."
"That's right. My kid is so happy today. He is so reluctant to eat the pastries given by Uncle Xiao next door. Those pastries are from Panpan." Widow Zhang also interjected.
"It would be nice if you could ask me to do some work, too."
"Panpan has no shortage of manpower now, and the house will probably be completed soon."
The children in the village were also talking about Su Panpan while playing.
"Qin Mu, everyone in the village says that your mother gave everyone a lot of good things. How come your mother is so capable and can make so much money?" Erhu from the village asked Qin Mu naively.
"Because... because of my mother, because my mother is very hardworking." Qin Mu didn't know how to answer.
Yueyue held her head high and said proudly, "Because my mother is very capable."
"Yes, it's amazing." Qin Xiao also agreed.
"It's because mom is not only hardworking, but also very smart." Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to them, was amused by her younger brothers and sisters and couldn't help but say something.
Now all the children in the village love to play with Qin Mu and his friends, which is completely different from the past.
One is that there are candies and pastries to eat when playing with Qin Mu and the others. Every time Su Panpan comes back, she will bring back a lot of pastries, dried fruits, candied fruits, candies, peanuts and melon seeds. Qin Mu and the others can't finish them all, and they are willing to share them with the good kids in the village.
Secondly, the adults in the family were also happy for their children to play behind Qin Mu, hoping that they could become familiar to Su Panpan and see if they could be called upon to help her in the future. After all, there were too few ways to make money in ancient times, so the villagers had no choice but to resort to this trick.
As Su Panpan's reputation in the village became more and more famous, her image gradually became a role model in the hearts of the villagers.
The elders in the village began to educate their grandchildren, asking them to learn from Su Panpan, to be hardworking and daring, so that they could achieve something in the future.
Erniu sent Aunt Wang, Mother Wang, and Aunt Liu back before bringing Su Panpan and Shen Ru back.
"Panpan, you're back!" Zhang Fulai greeted her excitedly, his pipe in hand.
Su Panpan smiled and nodded.
"Uncle Zhang, these are some supplements I brought for you. I hope you and Auntie are in good health." Su Panpan handed Zhang Fulai a burlap bag from the car, which was filled with various tonics and medicinal herbs.
"That's thoughtful." Zhang Fulai took the cloth bag and nodded repeatedly.
"Hey, Panpan, you haven't been back for a long time." Wang Hexiang hurried out of the house.
"aunt."
"Let's eat inside. Hey, Erniu, why did you buy so much meat?" Wang Hexiang couldn't help but ask as she watched Erniu and Shen Ru unload the meat from the car.
"I'm not going to eat anymore. I have to go back to see the kids."
"This is the meat Panpan gave us to eat, as well as two pieces of cloth and cakes." Erniu responded.
"Panpan, kid, it must cost a lot of money to have so much meat." Wang Hexiang took Su Panpan's hand and patted it.
"Everyone has some. After all, we've all worked so hard for so long. The winter solstice is coming soon, so I'll buy some meat for everyone to celebrate."
Zhang Fulai was asking Erniu some questions about the progress of the house. When he heard Erniu praising the flush bathroom, his eyes widened and he looked incredulous.
At this time, Shen Ru came forward and said to Wang Hexiang with a smile, "Auntie, Panpan has always been thinking about everyone. This time, she not only prepared meat and cloth, but also cakes, hats, scarves and gloves. Panpan really put a lot of thought into making sure everyone has a good holiday."
After saying that, Shen Ru looked at Su Panpan, her eyes full of appreciation and admiration.
"Hey, where are Brother Daniu and Sister Xiu'e?" Su Panpan smiled embarrassedly after hearing what Shen Ru said, and changed the subject.
"Oh, I told them to dig the soil in the fields today and burn the rice stalks. It's still early, and they haven't come back yet."
Everyone stood there, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
On the way back, Su Panpan and Shen Ru went to Lin Yue's parents' home again.
Before I even walked into the yard, I saw the dilapidated fence standing crookedly, as if it would fall down at any time.
There was only a dilapidated water tank in the yard, which was covered with cracks and seemed like it would break completely with a slight touch.
Several broken wooden basins were placed casually in the corner, and the edges of the basins were worn out.
When I entered the room, I saw a simple wooden bed in the corner. The bedding on the bed had been washed so much that it looked white, and was covered with patches.
The patches were of different colors, and some had become hard from repeated sewing.
There was a small cabinet next to the bed with the door half-open, and some worn clothes were placed inside.
Some of the clothes had holes in them, while others were too short, obviously because the children had outgrown them.
The child was wearing tattered clothes and looked at Su Panpan, Shen Ru and Erniu timidly.
Su Panpan looked at all this and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Su Panpan knew that it was not easy for Lin Yueniang to raise the children alone, so in addition to some meat and cakes, she also brought her some cloth, needles and thread, as well as some clothes for the children.
"Panpan, you are so kind. I don't know how to thank you." Lin Yueniang said excitedly with tears in her eyes.
At this time, Erniu and Shen Ru, who came together, also showed sympathy on their faces.
Erniu scratched his head and said, "Yueniang, we are all from the same village, it is only natural that we should help each other."
Shen Ru nodded gently and said softly: "Yes, things will get better in the future."
Lin Yueniang quickly pulled Baoer over and said, "Baoer, quickly thank Aunt Su, Brother Erniu, and Aunt Shen."
Baoer was a little shy, lowered her head, and said in a weak voice: "Thank you Sister Su, Brother Erniu, and Aunt Shen."
Su Panpan smiled and touched Baoer's head, saying, "Baoer, be good. Listen to your mother's words from now on."
After exchanging a few words at Lin Yue's parents' home, they said goodbye and went home.
"Hey, Qin Mu, your mother is back." Erhu pointed at the ox cart and said.
Su Panpan looked at the house in front of her and felt that she was finally home. It felt so good to be back.
When they saw Su Panpan and her group coming back, they all ran over like happy little birds.
The youngest child rushed directly to Su Panpan's legs and called out in a baby voice, "Mom."
The other children also gathered around.
