Chapter 148 - 148 Making Schoolbags
148 Making Schoolbags
Su Binglan had taken the time to start making schoolbags ever since she decided to send Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai to school. Everyone was used to carrying schoolbags at that time.
In her opinion, it was more convenient to pack things in schoolbags because she could fit many more things in them.
She used rags to make the schoolbags. She had already made two, but she did not expect the admissions to go so smoothly. Also, she did not know if her husband would agree to go to school, so she needed to make another one.
Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an did not sleep in the same room. She was in the back while Luo Jin’an slept in the one outside.
Luo Jin’an was about to sleep when he saw a lit candle through the window. He knew his wife was not asleep. He tossed and turned several times but still got off the bed and knocked on his wife’s door.
Su Binglan was amid making the bag when she heard the knocking. She thought something had happened to her husband, so she hurriedly got off her bed and opened the door. She looked at Luo Jin’an puzzled and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen to you?”
Luo Jin’an looked at his wife, then at the things on her bed. He asked, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Su Binglan noticed Luo Jin’an looking at the bags and explained, “I’m making bags. Each of you will have one for school, and you can carry more school supplies.”
She stepped aside and let her husband into her room. “Come and have a look. What do you think?”
Luo Jin’an entered the room and approached the brick bed while his wife showed him the schoolbags. “That’s the inner layer, and this is the interlayer. You can put some change in here, and some books there. There’s a lot more space.”
There were no zippers in that era, so Su Binglan put some buttons on the bag.
Luo Jin’an looked at the bags, and admiration appeared in his eyes. “Excellent work.”
Su Binglan said smilingly, “Since you said so, it must be good.”
With that, she sat on the brick bed again and picked up her needle and thread to continue sewing. She looked at her husband, who stood beside her. After some thought, she said, “I’ll go to bed in a while. You can sleep first.”
However, Luo Jin’an did not move.
Su Binglan carefully looked at her husband’s expression but could not tell what he was thinking. She could only guess Luo Jin’an might be interested in the schoolbags.
She hesitated, patted the brick bed, and asked tentatively, “Why don’t you sit here for a while?”
“Sure.” Immediately after, Luo Jin’an sat beside her.
‘H-Huh? That was fast.’
Su Binglan was surprised. She thought Luo Jin’an was different from her predecessor’s memories.
However, neither spoke, and Su Binglan felt the awkwardness between them. She thought about it and figured it was better to find something to talk about instead of just sitting in silence.
“You, Xuexuan, and Xuehai will go to school together tomorrow. The two are still young, so please take care of them.”
Luo Jin’an looked deeply at his wife and said, “We’re family, after all.”
‘F-Family?’
The two were only married because of an arrangement, so Su Binglan always reminded herself of that. Still, she did not expect Luo Jin’an to say that. Nonetheless, it was pleasant to hear.
Su Binglan felt a sense of warmth at that moment, and the two sat in silence again. Then Luo Jin’an said softly, “You said you knew medical skills?”
Su Binglan replied, “Yes, and I meant what I said after that.”
After a short pause, Luo Jin’an said lowly, “So, what you said about curing my illness was also true?”
Su Binglan finally realized her husband was genuinely asking her about it. She answered honestly, “Yes, there are several poisons within you, including the most severe cold poison. Your condition is rather complicated. Even so, I can still cure you when I find the proper herbs.”
