Chapter 737: Chapter 735: Going Back the Day After Tomorrow
"Wife, daughter, let’s also go back to our room and catch some sleep," Jiang Changhai, who had made a trip to Stone Bridge Village and a trip to the train station that morning, was also somewhat tired. He stretched and said to the two of them.
"Hmm, Mom and Dad, then I’ll go back to my room first," Jiang Mianmian said before she too went back to sleep.
In the master bedroom, Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu lay in bed, but they were not sleeping. Instead, they were whispering sweet nothings to each other.
"Wife, Uncle and the others have come all this way, it doesn’t seem right for us to keep going to work every day. I was thinking of asking for a couple of days off at the factory to take them around," Jiang Changhai suggested.
"Brother Hai, it’s like our minds are connected! I was also planning to ask for a couple more days off," Su Wanyu, turning to face him, laughed and looked at Jiang Changhai.
"Haha, otherwise, why would they say we’re husband and wife? Even our thoughts are so alike," Jiang Changhai said playfully.
After discussing it, they decided to call their respective workplaces in the afternoon to take some leave.
Zhang Guihua saw that Big Uncle Jiang and the others had arrived, so she wasn’t in a hurry to go home.
After all, they were esteemed guests from Haicheng, and she worried that Eldest and his wife might not entertain them well enough, so she planned to stay and help out.
When everyone woke up in the afternoon, Jiang Changhai took them for a stroll by the river.
Big Uncle Su even played a couple of rounds of chess with the neighbors in the alley, and when Aunt Su called him away, he reluctantly made plans to come and play again the next day.
Su Wanyu rarely saw this child-like side of her Uncle.
The Su family came from a big city. Compared to their place, the small town where Jiang Changhai lived was no more than a large village, and there wasn’t much of interest.
Even so, Jiang Changhai still racked his brains every day to find fun places to show the Su family around.
That evening, after their stroll, Big Uncle Jiang seized an opportunity to pull Su Wanyu aside and said, "Wanyu, Uncle has been here for a few days now, and we plan on going back to Haicheng the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyu, somewhat reluctant to let them go, said, "Uncle, you’ve come such a long way, stay a few more days before you go."
Big Uncle Su shook his head and explained, "No, Wanyu, we’ve been out for several days now. Your sister’s children are missing her, and we need to get back to work, so we won’t stay longer. When you have time, bring Mianmian and Changhai to visit us in Haicheng."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyu no longer insisted, "Okay, Uncle, when we have time in the future, we’ll come to see you."
"Hmm, knowing that you’re doing well here makes us feel relieved. Wanyu, as we’ve been here for a few days, I’ve been thinking, tomorrow I’d like to bring some gifts and visit your mother-in-law’s house," Big Uncle Su softly said.
"Hmm, okay, Uncle, I’ll talk to Brother Hai later, and we can go to Stone Bridge Village tomorrow," Su Wanyu, understanding the expected courtesies, said after some thought.
After discussing the plan, they went inside.
When it came time to sleep at night, Su Wanyu mentioned to her husband about her Uncle’s wish to visit Stone Bridge Village.
"Alright, wife, then tomorrow morning, we’ll all go to Stone Bridge Village together," Jiang Changhai, hearing this, agreed without any hesitation.
The next morning, Big Uncle Su and Aunt Su got up especially early, freshened up, and went straight to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. They had stayed several days and were already familiar with the vicinity.
Knowing that Su Wanyu’s father-in-law loved to drink, they bought some high-grade liquor, several boxes of cigarettes, cans of food, pastries, candies, and milk essence.
