Chapter 498: 461 When will Sister Tang Su become a bride? (1 more)

Within an hour, two cars, one following the other, entered Tong Village.

As soon as they reached the crossroads, the villagers ran out of their homes as if to watch a festivity.

The Tang family of Tong Village had become prosperous, something everyone was aware of.

Besides, each generation was stronger than the last.

It was truly an enviable position.

Grandpa Tang and Grandma Tang had been hardworking farmers, known for their honesty and sincerity in dealing with people and things. Now, even though their descendants had prospered, Grandpa and Grandma Tang continued to live and work as they always had.

The villagers envied them but harbored no resentment towards the family.

After entering the village, Tang Shengyi rolled down the car window, and the villagers greeted him and Su Ruoan warmly, "Yo, is that the third one and his wife coming back?"

"Yes, we’re back for the New Year. We’ll stop by for tea once we are done with our errands, cousin," Tang Shengyi also called out to them in a down-to-earth manner.

"Alright, alright, we’ll stop by later. You all go ahead and do what you need to."

"Here, take this pack of cigarettes," Tang Shengyi threw a pack of cigarettes down to them.

He had prepared several cartons of cigarettes just for these pals he had known since childhood, to offer them when they came visiting.

"Wow, a whole pack? Thanks a lot, third one!"

"Don’t mention it."

Tang Shengyi was grateful. Back when he and his siblings had pooled money to repair their family home, these cousins had been a great help. A small kindness deserved a big return, not to mention just a pack of cigarettes?

Seeing Tang Shengyi’s generosity with the cigarettes, the smoke-loving cousins gathered around. Tang Shengyi alone couldn’t handle the crowd, so Tang Feng stopped the car and helped distribute them.

Some approached Tang Su and Lu Han’s car, and since Lu Han also had cigarettes in his car, he handed them out while Tang Su gave candy to the children who had gathered around.

"Thank you, Sister Tang Su. When are you going to be the bride?" the children asked, all talking at once.

Tang Su: "..."

Tang Su was startled by their question.

The whole of Tong Village knew that Tang Su would be getting married after the New Year. Grandpa Tang was so happy that he couldn’t contain his joy. During the festivities earlier in the year, when children came to play in the Tang family courtyard and clamored for lollipops, Grandpa Tang told them that they would have plenty of sweets once their Sister Tang Su came home.

True to his word, Grandpa Tang didn’t let them down.

The older children asked Grandpa Tang, "Why do we get sweets when Sister Tang Su comes home?"

Grandpa Tang told them it was because their Sister Tang Su was going to become a bride.

The children immediately erupted into cheers; in recent years, whenever there was a new bride in the village, she would give out candies, and they were eagerly anticipating Sister Tang Su’s turn to be the bride.

"Who told you that Sister Tang Su is going to be a bride?" Tang Su asked, her face turning red.

"Grandpa Tang told us."

Tang Su was at a loss for words: "..."

It was good that they had bought plenty of things because if not, they would have run out before even reaching home.

Lu Han said to one of the taller children, "Go and count how many kids are staying in the village for the New Year. Later this afternoon, Sister Tang Su will give each of you two packs of Wangwang gift bags."

"Really? Those gift bags are expensive. You’re giving us two each?" The tall child asked incredulously.

There were cheaper versions, and after receiving their New Year’s money, they’d dare only to buy the cheaper ones, which contained much less.

Even with those cheaper ones, if the adults let them buy a pack, they would be overjoyed.

How generous of this Big Brother who came with Sister Tang Su to give them two packs outright. Did he know how many kids there were in the village?

Two packs for every child, how much money would that cost?

I can’t even imagine.

"Of course it’s true, Lu Han wouldn’t lie to us. Since it’s New Year, good things come in pairs. Hurry up and make a list, you all go and sign up with big brother. Once you’ve got the tally, head over to Grandpa Tang’s house to find us."

"Okay, thanks, Sister Tang Su, and thank you, brother."

Thus, the children who had gathered around the car dispersed, and Lu Han managed to drive the car back to the flat area in the Tang Family’s backyard and park it properly.

Tang Su: "..."

She had to admire Lu Han’s intelligence. When those kids started arguing, it was like stirring up a hornet’s nest, a constant buzz. Tang Su could only handle it for a while, but any longer, and she would really get a headache.

As it turned out, Lu Han’s tactic was truly brilliant.

However, having promised the children, they had to deliver. The kids in Tong Village, when added up, surely numbered several dozen, right?

Every household had two kids, some even had three or four.

The people of Tong Village, like her dad, like her second uncle, all had two children. Her two male cousins each had two children, and then there were the grandchildren from her eldest uncle’s family. Just the Tang Family’s kids alone added up to quite a few.

Where were they going to buy so many big gift bags now?

Surely they couldn’t drive back to Hua City again, could they?

It’s already the last month of the year, even supermarkets are probably picked over by now, right?

Asking for an emergency restock wouldn’t be easy, would it?

As Lu Han parked the car, Tang Su was still fretting about this issue when the Tang Family Elders already came out from the back door, "Lu Han, you’re here! Welcome, welcome, welcome to the old Tang house for the New Year."

Tang Su: "..."

They both got out of the car together, yet it seemed her grandparents only had eyes for Lu Han?

So it turns out, a granddaughter can fall out of favor, too?

Tang Su pouted, "Grandpa, Grandma, can’t you see me? I’m not wearing invisible clothes today, am I?"

Grandma Tang knew her beloved granddaughter was feeling jealous and immediately wrapped her in her arms, "Of course we see you, but Lu Han is visiting our Tang house for the first time, you see. Today, he’s more important than you."

"You’ll get used to it over time," Grandpa Tang chimed in.

Tang Su made a funny face.

Grandma Tang quickly interfered, "Silly girl, don’t do that. It’s the New Year, keep it nice. Where are your dad, your mom, and your brother?"

"Dad is out there giving out cigarettes, my brother has just parked the car."

No sooner had Tang Su finished speaking than Tang Feng arrived in his car, and the two vehicles ended up parked side by side.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Happy New Year." Tang Feng was wearing a white down jacket on his upper body and comfy lined jeans below. Winters in Tong Village, as he remembered, were quite cold, and not dressing warmly enough could easily lead to the shivers.

They were all honest folks who needed to stay warm.

"Happy New Year, Fengfeng," Grandma Tang released Tang Su to embrace her grandson. "This year, we can finally spend the New Year at home, that’s wonderful, just wonderful."

"Yeah, this year I’ll watch the Spring Festival Gala with Grandpa and Grandma."

"Oh, my good Fengfeng, Grandma made you some New Year’s cake. Come on, follow Grandma to the kitchen. Tang Bao, Lu Han, you two come along as well."

"Okay."

As Tang Shengyi got out of the car, before he could even call out "Mom," Grandma Tang, with the three younger generations in tow, had already turned and entered the house.

"This mother of mine, now that she has grandsons and granddaughters, she doesn’t even want her third child anymore. And to think I wanted to bring her some new clothes to try on," Tang Shengyi complained mildly, feeling like a less favored son.
