Su Wenwu was thrilled to hear he would eat a new dish tomorrow. He said, “I’m so excited that I don’t think I can sleep tonight!’
He had fallen asleep after dinner, so he did not feel sleepy now. On the contrary, he felt energized.
Su Wenwu’s excitement infected Su Binglan’s mood. She smiled and said, “Since you’re so excited, why don’t you consider opening another hotpot restaurant?”
Su Wenwu was stunned. “Another one so soon? I just opened several hotpot restaurants in Dingzhou.”
Su Binglan suggested, “Well, we can open one in Flower County.”
She wanted to open one there to drive the county’s economic development. On the other hand, she felt it would be more convenient for her mother to visit Lin Qin whenever Su Wenwu inspected the restaurant.
Then, Shen Qiuhua could also check on her G.o.dparents whenever she visited.
Su Wenvvu listened to his sister while looking at his mother. He had avoided opening a hotpot restaurant in Flower County because he was worried about Madam Ma. After all, she had treated Shen Qiuhua poorly.
Shen Qiuhua sighed, “Wenwu, I know what you’re thinking. I forgave Madam Ma for my G.o.dparents. Your uncle is their biological son, so theyd want him to have a good life.
“l can understand how parents feel because I am one. My G.o.dparents will be delighted if our family is more harmonious. They’re getting old, and I just want them to be happy.
“Also, Madam Ma doesn’t have bad intentions. She’s Zhishan’s mother; you know how gentle and kind he is. I’ll be a grandaunt soon, so I want to visit my new grandnephew often.”
Shen Qiuhua had already started missing her G.o.dparents. She grew sad and upset when she saw how gray they had gotten. Although Su Binglan could understand how Shen Qiuhua felt, the Su brothers might not.
Su Wenwu noticed his mother’s expression and nodded. “All right, I understand. I’ll open a hotpot restaurant there and hire people to help me run it. In that case, I can also help Cousin Zhishan and the others.
“Then, it’ll be more convenient for you to visit more often since you can come along whenever I inspect the restaurant. We can also send provisions to
Grandpa and Grandma if needed.”
Shen Qiuhua felt at ease after hearing that. She said, “That’s great, Wenwu.”
She wanted to spend more time with her G.o.dparents because they were getting older. She could visit her G.o.dparents more often since she no longer had to worry about her children.
After all, they had grown into promising young adults who could care for each other. After chatting together, the family returned to their respective rooms to rest.
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an had heated their brick bed before returning to their room. Su Binglan was tired and wanted to sleep after lying down. However, she stopped and asked, “Jin’an, have these past few days been tiring for you?”
Luo Jin’an knew his wife was always concerned about him. He smiled and stroked her hair, saying, “How can 1 be tired when I’m with you? I’ve never been tired, even when I used to guard the border. Also, it felt good to help your mother’s G.o.dparents.”
Su Binglan sighed in relief and smiled. “l felt good helping them, too. It’s also because I feel at ease with you beside me.”
The feeling Luo Jin’an gave her differed from what her parents gave her. She knew she needed Luo Jin’an.
The latter’s heart skipped when he heard his wife’s response. He hugged her, saying, “l feel good with you beside me, too.”
He also felt a sense of dependence on Su Binglan. She leaned into his embrace, and his robust heartbeat made her feel at ease. Soon after, Su Binglan fell asleep.
Luo Jin’an had many more things to say to Su Binglan, but he realized she had fallen asleep when he heard her light breathing. He smiled and gently tucked her in before falling asleep beside her.
The following day, Su Binglan planned to build a few more factories, shops, and a house. She had previously bought plenty of land, where she planned to build a small district, a commercial street, and a theater.
Su Binglan felt it was the right time to make arrangements, so she called Su Xueye over in the morning and told him about her real estate project. Su
Xueye was ecstatic as he showed Su Binglan the blueprints he had drawn.
He had initially drawn some blueprints and showed them to her. She even gave him suggestions and guidance. Afterward, he revised his blueprints according to Su Binglan’s guidelines.
When Su Binglan called Su Xueye that morning, he readily brought the blueprints to her. Su Binglan looked at the drawings with gratification, saying, “You did perfectly, Xueye.”
She made minor adjustments to the blueprints and continued, ‘Xueye, let’s build a residential area based on this blueprint but according to the terrain.
“There will be a toy factory, a theater, and a shopping mall near a commercial street. I also want the street to accommodate food stalls.” Su Binglan drew her plans as she spoke.
Furthermore, she did not need to do calculations as the specific information flashed in her mind. Su Xueye listened to Su Binglan while looking at her drawing.
He exclaimed, “Aunt Binglan, are you really going to build all that?!”
“That’s right. I bought so much land for this purpose. Consider how many
people can live in that residential area after building it. I want it to accommodate up to a thousand people.
“There will be a lot of foot traffic there, including those who visit from the surrounding villages. Building a shopping mall, a business, and a food street there will create convenience for the people.
“They can also watch plays and performances at the theater, especially since I designed it to accommodate many people.”
Su Xueye grew excited hearing about Su Binglan’s plans. “Aunt Binglan, many people will want to buy the houses in the residential area. My uncle and the others want to move to Su Teng Village, but we don’t have any extra houses.
“If we build this residential area well, my uncle and the others would buy one for themselves. Then, they’ll have a better place to live, and my mother can visit them more often. You also included a guarded gate in the blueprints, so it’ll be safe..
