Lin Cheng chuckled, his eyes revealing a simple and honest gaze that made him appear somewhat endearing. “Dad says he’s a hedonist. He feels uncomfortable staying in the hospital. Let’s let him come home and recuperate. He’ll be more at ease here,” he suggested.

Gu Zi nodded in agreement. Turning to Su Shen, she proposed, “Shall we all go together tomorrow?” Gu Zi was seeking his consent, not out of fear of his disagreement, but out of respect for him as her husband.

Su Shen glanced at Gu Zi, his gaze unusually warm. “Let’s go early tomorrow. I’ll drop off our boys at school and then take you all to the hospital,” he suggested.

Lin Cheng and Li Hua exchanged glances, wondering if this might be too much trouble for Su Shen. After all, they had only come to ask for leave, but it had turned into a trip to the hospital to pick up their father. It seemed a bit much to ask the young couple to make the journey.

However, since Gu Zi and Su Shen had both suggested it, they didn’t feel it was their place to object. Besides, the whole family going together to bring their father home from the hospital would undoubtedly make their parents very happy.

Given that it would take some time for Lin Cheng and Li Hua to return to Daqing Village, Su Shen offered to let them stay the night. It would be more convenient for their trip to the city the next day. At first, Lin Cheng was hesitant, not wanting to impose on his sister and brother-in-law. But Gu Zi persuaded them to stay, and they graciously accepted the offer.

When it was time for bed, Gu Zi brought them fresh sheets. Li Hua said, “Give them to me, I can change them myself.”

Gu Zi handed over the bedding to Li Hua, “Sister-in-law, make yourselves comfortable and get some rest. Goodnight!”

The next morning, Gu Zi woke up early. Having guests in the house naturally meant an early start for her, as if her biological clock was set that way.

Su Li nodded but was reluctant to leave. He watched as his mother and aunt each held a plump piece of dough, stretching it into a long strip, then shaping it into a rectangle. They then made a vertical cut in the dough with a kitchen knife and overlapped the two pieces before placing them in the pot.

The dough sizzled as it met the hot oil, a sound that was music to the ears of any food lover. The dough sticks, huddled in pairs, visibly turned from light yellow to deep yellow, and finally to a golden color. Once they were shiny with oil, they could be removed and drained. Their shape was somewhat reminiscent of a DNA strand.

The fried dough sticks were quite ordinary in appearance, but Su Li knew that they were the epitome of simple deliciousness. Of course, for the Su Li of the past, this ordinary delicacy was a rare treat that he and his brother seldom enjoyed. They would usually see it at food stalls and silently salivate.

Chen Fu, a classmate from the city, often brought fried dough sticks to school and shared them with the classmates who acknowledged him as their leader. The others could only watch. Once, Su Li saw Chen Fu casually discard a half-eaten dough stick. Unable to resist, Su Li picked it up and secretly ate it. That was the first time he had tasted a fried dough stick…

After a quick trip to the bathroom, Su Li returned to the kitchen, having finished washing up. He asked, “Mom, Aunt, could you make some extra fried dough sticks? I’d like to take some to school for lunch..”ƒгeewёbnovel.com
