Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Children Should Be Educated from a Young Age
Su Wensong rode his bicycle to the grocery store.
He went straight to the counter selling snacks and dried fruits, first buying a pack of dried plums, calcium milk cookies, animal cookies, and some fruit peel snacks, as well as some canned goods and pastries.
After all was said and done, he left the grocery store with a big net bag full of items.
When he got home, the Bun Shop hadn’t closed yet, so he put down his things and went to help out at the Bun Shop.
The two of them were busy until the Bun Shop closed, locked the shop door, and then returned to the courtyard.
Granny Su couldn’t stay idle and had already prepared dinner for them.
Su Wensong took out the big bag of snacks and held it up to Sun Lanlan like he was presenting a treasure.
"See anything you’d like to eat? Here are your favorite dried plums, or would you like a can of something?"
Sun Lanlan had been feeling much better these past few days, and she hadn’t even finished the dried plums she bought last time, now there was this whole bag of delicious treats.
"I eat quite well at the Bun Shop every day, and Granny’s cooking is delicious; there’s really no need for all this."
Despite both earning salaries, they shouldn’t be spending money like this.
Sun Lanlan grew up in a village and was still very frugal at heart.
"These pastries and canned foods are for Granny to eat; I’m fine with these snacks."
"Granny has her share too; I bought some for her, all of these are yours."
Su Wensong said, taking out a strip of candied fruit peel and holding it up to her lips.
"Try this, I tasted it after I bought it; it’s sweet and sour and really delicious."
Granny Su was standing right next to them, and Sun Lanlan was embarrassed, especially since Su Wensong was coaxing her like a child, insisting she take a bite.
Sun Lanlan had no choice but to take a bite, and Su Wensong anxiously asked her, "Is it good? Do these snacks make you feel a bit better?"
"I’m really not reacting that much anymore; you don’t have to be so worried."
Seeing that Sun Lanlan was really not feeling any discomfort, Su Wensong finally breathed a sigh of relief and seriously said to her belly, "You behave yourself, don’t give mom a hard time anymore, or else watch out when you come out—I’ll spank you."
Sun Lanlan’s face flushed red, and seeing Granny Su looking at them with a laugh, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
She slapped Su Wensong’s arm and chided, "What are you talking about?"
Although they were married and pregnant, she had only been a young woman three months ago, and was still very shy.
Su Wensong just chuckled, "I’m educating our child; you have to start young."
Is that starting young? More like starting from inside the stomach.
Sun Lanlan couldn’t outtalk him, so she turned to Granny Su for help.
Granny Su intervened, "Alright, alright, let’s eat."
Seeing the loving couple, Granny Su was genuinely pleased.
The meal was cooked to Sun Lanlan’s taste, and Granny Su’s cooking was excellent and refined. Sun Lanlan ate a lot.
This was the first time in a while that she had eaten so much, and Su Wensong’s appetite improved as well.
When Sun Lanlan and Granny Su put down their chopsticks, Su Wensong finished off the rest of the food.
As they ate, he talked to her about things happening in town.
He had been urgently called away early in the morning, and Sun Lanlan had been worried all day.
Now that she knew everything was over, she also felt relieved.
"Mr. Lin knows that you feel unwell due to your pregnancy and wants you to rest for a while. How about we take a few days off? I heard that it gets easier as the months go by. Or I can talk to Mr. Lin about promoting another manager so you can stay home and focus on the pregnancy; I can support you and our child."
He is now earning about 100 yuan a month, which is more than what some families make.
Sun Lanlan glared at him dissatisfiedly, "What now? You think you’re a big deal since you became a factory manager, and your wife should just stay at home to serve and take care of you like a lord? Even thinking of stripping me of my manager position?"
"I didn’t mean that," Su Wensong hurriedly explained.
Sun Lanlan chuckled. She knew that wasn’t what Su Wensong meant.
"Don’t worry, I’m not that delicate. I have been feeling much better these days, and the work at the Bun Shop isn’t too demanding. Just handling orders and keeping accounts. In our village, which wife doesn’t do this while pregnant? Both my sisters-in-law worked in the fields when they were pregnant."
Compared to them, she already felt very fortunate.
Work is easy, her husband is considerate, and Granny Su loves her so much.
If she quit her job now, she would really become a lazy bum who only eats and does nothing.
"Besides, I really like my job. Although I can’t achieve something big like Xiaxia and become an economically independent woman, it’s great enough being this way. I don’t want to quit."
The more she got to know Su Wensong, the more she recognized his excellence.
No wonder Xiaxia valued him so highly.
Now that Su Wensong is a factory manager, Sun Lanlan feels that only by doing well as a manager can she be worthy of the outstanding Su Wensong.
Knowing that she truly enjoys her work, Su Wensong, seeing her insistence, didn’t say much more.
Granny Su can’t stay up late, so she went to rest in her room after dinner.
Su Wensong swiftly cleaned up the dishes and went to prepare bath water for Sun Lanlan.
The weather was hot, and a daily bath was a must. Su Wensong was worried about her bathing alone during her pregnancy, so he always stood by the door.
Sun Lanlan laughed at him for being silly, but he still insisted.
Through the crack in the window, Sun Lanlan glanced at the man sitting on the stool outside.
The water in the tub was at the right temperature, and he even placed a small stool by the tub for her convenience.
The towel and soap were arranged on the side, and even her change of clothes was prepared in advance.
She was well-loved at her parents’ house, pampered by her parents and three older brothers, but Su Wensong cared for her even more, down to the smallest details.
Previously, she thought her elder brother and sister-in-law, as well as her second brother and sister-in-law, had it good—working together, discussing matters together, sharing meals together.
She always thought that harmonious marital life couldn’t get better than that.
But she never imagined that true marital harmony meant considering each other in everything, true care means spoiling someone to the depths of their heart.
Sun Lanlan was washing herself when suddenly she yelled out.
The man outside immediately stood up and rushed in like an arrow, "Lanlan, what’s..."
His words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
The girl’s body was glistening and beautifully curved.
Her long black hair spilled over her shoulders, partially veiling...
His deep gaze lingered on the trembling droplets of water, watching them eventually roll down her skin, making his Adam’s apple unconsciously bob.
"You..." Su Wensong’s voice was a bit hoarse as he coughed lightly, "Are you okay?"
Sun Lanlan stepped out of the tub and reached out to embrace his waist, resting her head on his shoulder, her voice frail,
"I think I saw a mouse earlier; it startled me. It’s gone now, but my heart is still pounding—you can feel it."
Su Wensong mechanically raised his hand, his mind slightly dazed...
