Chapter 424: Making Dumplings
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Under the watchful gaze of Gu Zi, Su Shen walked over to her, his face cold as he moved the young boy who had been clinging to her aside. He took a seat next to Gu Zi, handing her a small box. “I bought this for you, take a look,” he said.
Gu Zi looked at the delicate box in surprise. With the arrival of winter, the pig farm had become busier, and Su Shen’s return home was often delayed. But today, not only had he returned early, he had also brought a gift, a rarity indeed.
She opened the box to find a gleaming gold bracelet. Looking up at Su Shen, she was struck by the simplicity of his expression of love – another gold bracelet!
Gu Zi was reminded of the first gift she had received from him, also a gold bracelet, given after she had helped him deal with a swine fever outbreak. It felt as though it had happened just yesterday, but they were already married now.
Time had passed quickly. Just as she was about to say something, the boy who had been moved aside earlier clung to Su Shen’s leg and said, “Dad, we’re having dumplings tonight. Mom said that Northerners love to eat dumplings when it snows!”
Seeing this, Gu Zi put away the gold bracelet and said to Su Shen, “Today is the start of winter, and I’ve prepared several types of dumpling fillings. How about we have dumplings tonight? It’ll be a change of taste and a nod to tradition.”
Su Shen’s face was as expressionless as ever, but his eyes, as they looked at his wife, were like the rain outside the door, cold yet filled with an unexpressed warmth. This softened his sharp features considerably. “As you wish,” he replied, “we’ll make them together.”
Su Shen always felt that he owed Gu Zi something. Whether it was a small matter like what to eat or bigger decisions, Gu Zi was fully capable of making them for the family.
He had been absent recently due to the busyness of the farm, leaving little time for them to spend together. Today, he had gone into town for some work and had some time upon his return, so he had hurried home. After changing his clothes, which he didn’t want to dirty, he gave her the gift he had just bought.
Gu Zi had thought he had come home for dinner and had suggested dumplings. Su Shen couldn’t refuse, deciding that he could return to the farm after dinner if necessary.
