205 Profound Feelings

Su Wenzhe was excited to see his siblings. “Welcome back, Wenxiu and Binglan!”

It had been so long since Su Wenzhe had seen them, so he could not be happier. The whole family was worried about Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu the entire time.

The family was not used to Su Binglan not being home and always felt something was missing from everything they did. Now that Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu were home, Su Wenzhe could not be more thrilled.

Su Binglan said smilingly, “We’re back, Big Brother.”

!!

“It’s good that you’re back safe and sound.” Su Wenzhe went to hug Su Wenxiu and patted his back. “You’re finally with us. We were so worried about you.”

Su Wenxiu started crying again. “I missed you too, Big Brother. I miss mom and dad, and even the two little ones. I’ve longed to come home and won’t be leaving again. I discovered my home and family’s preciousness while out there.”

Su Wenxiu developed profound feelings when he said those words. He thought of when he left home, and his heart ached. His heart’s grievance welled when he returned and saw his family.

When he got kidnapped while delivering herbs for Hundred Herbs Hospital, he dared not be weak, cry, or recklessly speak because he did not want to look like a fool and no one would care.

However, it was different when he returned to his family, as they cared for him and welcomed him with open arms. Thus, his suppressed emotions overflowed.

Su Wenzhe said, “Indeed, there’s no place like home.” He also felt moved.

He almost died working in the Zhu residence when his little sister saved him and brought him home. From then on, Su Wenzhe could feel safe by his family’s side and sleep peacefully. He also felt motivated to do business and earn money with his family.

After talking for a while, Su Wenxiu said happily, “I heard from Binglan that our family owns some shops now, and we have plenty of money. That’s great news!”

He saw the stall outside when he first arrived at the village. People came in twos and threes to buy food in the afternoon. Su Wenxiu did not expect his family’s conditions to improve so much that they could start their own businesses.

When the fourth prince’s secret squad kidnapped Su Wenxiu, he always thought that if he could return home alive, he would eat a meal a day so his family would have enough.

However, he heard from his sister that not only could the whole family eat full meals, but they could also eat delicious food like meat dishes and desserts.

Su Wenxiu thought his sister was only comforting him, but he realized it was all true when he saw it with his own eyes.

“You must be famished. We just made some sesame buns and haggis soup. Have a taste.” Su Wenzhe hurriedly brought Su Binglan and the other two some buns and soup.

Su Binglan wasn’t very hungry because she had stored some pound cakes in her pocket dimension, but Su Wenxiu wanted to try the soup and buns because they were delicacies his sister had put together, and Su Wenzhe had made.

After eating the warm sesame buns and drinking the refreshing haggis soup, Su Wenxiu’s tears rolled down his cheeks.

Su Wenzhe looked at his second brother and said, “Are you okay, Wenxiu?”

Su Wenxiu hurriedly wiped away his tears and said, “I-I think it might be a little too delicious.”

“You can eat more if you enjoy it. I’ve made plenty, and you can eat your fill,” Su Wenzhe said.

Su Wenxiu nodded sobbingly. “Okay, Big Brother.”

Su Wenzhe said to Su Binglan, “Little Sister, in the month or so that you’ve been gone, our big house is almost complete. Moreover, Uncle Zhengde is building it with the red bricks you told him about. The house looks perfect!

“The villagers were there to see it, and Uncle Zhengde told them you were the one who taught him about the bricks. After some of the villagers finished collecting their corn, Uncle Zhengde organized them into a team to help build our house, so there was no need for our parents to worry. The house is almost complete according to your blueprint.

“Also, Uncle Fengzhi’s barbecue skewers are popular throughout the villagers and townsfolk. Many go there to taste his lamb skewers. Do you see those other shops on that street? No one rented shops there in the past, but it’s so lively now.”

…

Su Wenzhe talked a lot, and Su Binglan listened carefully. Still, she wanted to know about her husband, but she did not ask because Su Binglan knew she would see him later that night.

Su Wenzhe was careless whenever he spoke, but Liu Yinyin was cautious, so she said, “Binglan, Jin’an is doing good too. He brings Xuexuan and Xuehai to the academy daily and comes here to help at noon.

“Whenever we go home after work, he fights to help with the house chores. We don’t need him to help, but he insists. D-Don’t worry. Jin’an takes his medicine on time, and his body is okay.”

Su Binglan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Luo Jin’an was okay.

After eating a bit, Su Binglan, Su Wenxiu, and Lin Zheng went to see where Su Fengzhi had set up his stall. Even though it was the afternoon, many people were at the stall.

Su Fengzhi and Su Wenchiu were busy barbecuing lamb skewers for their customers when they saw Su Binglan. The duo was stunned.

“B-Binglan?! Wenxiu?!”

“Cousin Binglan! Cousin Wenxiu!”

The father and son duo could not care less about barbecuing and hurriedly ran toward Su Binglan. They were thrilled when they saw Su Wenxiu behind Su Binglan.

“Wenxiu is back too!”

“How are you, Uncle Fengzhi?”

Su Fengzhi noticed the change in Su Wenxiu and replied, “It’s great that you’re back. You’ve grown taller and darker, huh?”

Su Wenxiu felt a warmth in his heart when he saw his other family members. When he heard their dialects and listened to their familiar tones, he thought it was delightful to hear.

When Su Wenxiu was in the capital, he heard everyone speaking foreign dialects, so he was happy to hear something more familiar.

Su Wenchi called Su Wenxiu and hugged him. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Su Binglan said, “Uncle Fengzhi, Wenchi, don’t forget about your lamb skewers. They will burn if you leave them on the fire like that.”

“Oh, no! We were so happy to see you that we forgot about the lamb skewers!” The duo quickly returned to the barbecue pit to remove the skewers from the fire.

Su Fengzhi put some seasoning on the lamb skewers and gave them to Su Binglan, Su Wenxiu, and Lin Zheng.

Su Wenxiu’s eyes widened as he ate, and he smiled happily. “There’s so much delicious food to eat here now, and these lamb skewers smell so good.”

He had heard about the food his sister told him about and could not wait to come home and try them. He had finally tried the lamb skewers his sister talked about and discovered how delicious they were.

Su Fengzhi said to Su Binglan, “My nose and throat have entirely recovered. It’s all thanks to the medicine you gave me. Also, the barbecue stall has earned quite a lot this month. Your aunt and I didn’t know how to repay you, so we thought of giving you a commission.”

Su Binglan said, “There’s no need for that, Uncle Fengzhi. After all, we’re family, so let’s not talk about these things. You’ve worked hard to earn a living, and your business is booming, so I’m happy.”

Lin Zheng followed his master because he wanted to taste the barbecued lamb skewers.

He was standing at the stall at that moment. When he saw Su Fengzhi, he said, “Third Master Su, we went to the capital, so there’s something you should know. Zhu Liang has become mute and lost his sense of taste.”

Lin Zheng knew Zhu Liang had developed those conditions because his master had done it to avenge her third uncle.
