Mr. and Mrs. had lived average lives since coming to Su Teng Village. They prepared dinner early after feeding their ducks and chickens as usual. Then the older couple sat on the brick bed and waited for their second son to return.

The older couple became a little anxious once the sky got dark. After a while, the two noticed it was snowing.

“It’s snowing!”

They exited the house without caring about the cold when they saw the snow. Mrs. Li worriedly said, “It’s snowing so heavily and will get even heavier. How will Li Shi come home?”

Mr. Li was also anxious. “Why don’t I go to town to pick him up?”

Mrs. Li said, “Li Shi said not to go. Didn’t he end up caring for you on the way home the last time you went to pick him up? So listen to Li Shi.”

Mr. Li looked at the snowflakes in the sky and sighed. “It snowed early this year. In the past, it would only snow after more than half a month had pa.s.sed.

It’s good to have snow since auspicious snow signifies a b.u.mper harvest. Everyone will have a good harvest.”

Although Mr. and Mrs. Li lived with Li Shi now and had no land in Su Teng Village, Li Shi still did not want his parents to tire themselves out from farming.

He now managed a hotpot restaurant. He earned a monthly salary and bonus high enough to support his parents. Therefore, he did not want them to work. Although his parents did not treat him well when he was younger, it was all in the past, and they began treating him well.

Since that was the case, he would return the favor. He could feel more at ease since he had a home now. He knew he had a home to return to after finishing work.

He felt like a dandelion floating in the wind in the past, not knowing where he would land. Although he had made money then, he still felt lost and confused.

However, things had changed, as he looked forward to going home after work. His parents would have already prepared dinner and warmed up the brick bed whenever he got home.

Li Shi could also tell his parents about his day whenever he returned. Then he would eat and sleep on a warm, comfortable bed. His parents would have already prepared a meal for him when he woke up the following day.

That was what it felt like to have a home.

Mr. and Mrs. Li could not sit still on the brick bed. They stood at the stove and looked at the door.

Mr. Li occasionally walked out of the courtyard and looked into the distance at the street’s entrance. He wanted Li Shi to come home as soon as possible. Snowflakes would even collect on his forehead, but he was unaware as he only wanted to see his son return.

Mr. Li was concerned it would be too difficult for his son to walk home on such a snowy evening.

Mrs. Li sighed. “Fortunately, we’ve moved to Su Teng Village since it’s closer to town. If we were back in Northern Song Village, going back and forth from town would be too far. It would be even more dangerous on snowy days.” Speaking of Su Teng Village, Mr. Li said happily, “This village is magnificent.”

“Exactly. Everyone helps each other and is honest. If Li Shi didn’t work for Miss

Su, how could he settle in Su Teng Village?”

“Yeah, many people from other villages want to move here but can’t. They can’t pa.s.s the review if they’re problematic. Chief Su won’t let them move in.”

“Someone said Chief Su will get good seeds for everyone to plant when spring arrives. The yield should be very high, so why don’t we buy more land to plant some? It can also help Li Shi.”

The older couple simply could not let their son care for them. Although they raised ducks and chickens and could sell eggs for money, Li Shi had to buy all the food they ate.

They could eat enough without buying food if he bought land and planted crops. That way, Li Shi would not have to buy rice and noodles from town.

When Mr. Li heard that, he said, “I had the same idea. We should buy two acres of land to grow some food and vegetables. Then we’ll have enough food for ourselves.”

Mrs. Li added, “The land will still belong to Li Shi since he bought it. We’ll help him by planting crops.”

Mr. and Mrs. Li were no longer confused and were clear about everything. The land would belong to Li Shi, and his brothers could not come to s.n.a.t.c.h it from them.

Mr. and Mrs. Li paled when they thought of their other two sons. If not for Li Shi, the older couple might not have survived until now. They could still eat eggs every few days because of their second son.

Li Shi told his parents to replenish their nutrients and eat well to be healthy. However, the older couple never expected to rely on him to support them when they got old. To be honest, their son was perfect.

The duo was worried about Li Shi and could only talk to pa.s.s the time. They were less anxious after talking to distract themselves.

Mrs. Li started thinking about Li Shi’s marriage as she spoke, “I found a matchmaker from here. They found a few girls from the surrounding villages and two from Su Teng Village.

“One works at the tofu factory, and the other at the embroidery shop. They’re both good girls.”

Mr. Li was a little puzzled. “The girls of Su Teng Village who work in the factory and embroidery shop are popular. Will they be willing to marry Li Shi?”

Mrs. Li became unhappy when she heard her husband’s question. She said, “Why would you say that? Li Shi is perfect. He’s dutiful, sensible, and capable.

He manages one of the hotpot restaurants, after all.

“Besides, everyone knows he’s Miss Su’s subordinate. She’ll put him in a more significant position in the future. Of course, the girls of Su Teng Village would be thrilled to marry him. That’s what the matchmaker said.”

Mr. Li responded with his head lowered, “I’m just afraid the things we did in the past will affect him, that’s all.”

Mrs. Li said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already said we’ll live with our son and future daughter-in-law. We’ll listen to them. Once our future daughter-in-law comes to live with us, we’ll let her take charge of the family. I’ve already asked around. Those two girls are dutiful children.

“Anyone who can work at Miss Su’s tofu factory and embroidery workshop is a child from a good family. She wouldn’t have hired them if they were problematic.

“Besides, it’s not like you don’t know Su Teng Village’s culture. Every family pays attention to filial piety.”

Mr. and Mrs. Li only considered Li Shi’s well-being. However, they also feared getting chased out of the village. Nonetheless, they did not need to worry about the girls of Su Teng Village.

The older couple did not have to worry as long as the girls worked for Su Binglan.

“I heard from someone that those who were not respectful to their elders and had problematic characteristics could not work for Su Binglan. Even if she were unaware of it initially, she would fire them when she found out later.

“The person also said it’s in the workers’ contracts, which were the rules. The atmosphere in many other villages began improving because of these rules.

“Those who didn’t treat their parents well suddenly became more respectful because everyone wanted to work for Su Binglan, not to mention the high pay and bonus, which were excellent for one’s reputation.”

As Mr. and Mrs. Li discussed these things, they suddenly saw someone driving an oxcart in the distance. The two knew they did not own an oxcart but still wondered if it was Li Shi.

‘Could Li Shi have returned in an oxcart?’
