Su Shen nodded his head in acknowledgment, then exited the grand doors, heading towards the first truck.
Simultaneously, several men entered from outside. After exchanging glances with Su Shen, they approached Jin Long. Jin Long instructed them, “First, unload the custom-made furniture. Just arrange it according to the blueprint I gave you. Hurry up, brothers. Once you’re done, we’ll unload the luggage.”
As soon as Jin Long finished speaking, the men went out to unload the goods. They moved the furniture piece by piece into the house, quickly and orderly. Jin Long, hands on his hips, watched with a satisfied smile.
Moving was part of Su Shen’s plan. Now that it was being executed so smoothly, it was very much in line with Su Shen’s style of doing things. Jin Long was more than willing to follow such a boss.
Su Shen walked in, leading a large yellow dog. As soon as the dog entered, it ran around Jin Long a few times. Jin Long petted it, jokingly saying, “Well, our Big Yellow has finally made it to the city. It’s a new step in a dog’s life. But you’re not new to riding in a car, so why were you making such a racket in the back? Just like your master, getting old and scared, huh?”
Su Shen immediately shot him a sharp look, startling Jin Long. Damn it, he thought, he was just joking. Was it really necessary to react like that?
Su Shen said in a deep voice, “Don’t mention my age again, especially not in front of your sister-in-law.”
Jin Long was taken aback. Did Su Shen think his wife didn’t know how old he was? Of course, he wouldn’t say it out loud. He felt a pang of jealousy.
Gu Zi took the two children upstairs to see the rooms. When she came down, she found the two men acting strangely.
At the same time, the big yellow dog decisively left Jin Long’s side and ran to Gu Zi’s feet. It rubbed its head against her pants and looked up at its mistress with deep eyes, as if it had been traumatized. It probably thought its owners had abandoned it.
Her heart clenched. She squatted down and stroked the dog’s head, looking at it with soft eyes. “Good boy,” she said, “you’re part of our family, an indispensable part. We would never leave you behind. Look, this is our new home. You’ll have to make do in the living room tonight, but tomorrow I’ll make you a warm little nest in the front yard, okay?”
The dog’s eyes visibly softened. It looked at its mistress and made a “woof woof” sound, as if responding.
Gu Zi patted its back and nudged it into the house, letting it explore on its own. As the dog walked in, Su Shen understood Gu Zi’s intentions and followed.
Gu Zi stood up, smiling at Su Shen’s accommodating behavior towards the dog. She thought he was really reliable. There was no man more reliable than Su Shen.
She invited Jin Long with a smile, “Come in and sit for a while. We’ve all had a long drive and we’re tired. I’ve prepared some food and drinks in advance. Su Shen just took them into the living room. You go and call everyone over. Have something to eat and drink before we get back to work.”
Jin Long nodded. They had all been on the road for a while and were indeed hungry. “You’re so thoughtful, sister-in-law. I’ll go call them.”
In no time, Jin Long had gathered the other eight movers in the living room. Gu Zi was distributing food. When they entered, she had already placed the food she had prepared on the table. Each person received a bowl of braised pork over rice and a bottle of glucose sweet water that Gu Zi had prepared herself.
The rice bowl was filled with meat, eggs, vegetables, and even three shrimp for decoration. It looked very appetizing. The sweet water was white and looked refreshing. A few bites of rice followed by a sip of water was a satisfying combination.
Everyone was so attracted by the food in their hands that they forgot to be polite. They had heard about Mrs. Su’s excellent cooking skills and were thrilled to finally taste it. They ate heartily, thinking that the faster they finished eating, the faster they could get back to work.
Jin Long also took a portion, his cheeks bulging as he ate. He didn’t forget to talk to Gu Zi, “Sister-in-law, do you know how much Brother Shen cares about you? He specifically looked for a large villa so that you could live comfortably and continue to do what you love, like gardening. He went to great lengths to buy it. I never thought I’d see the day when my brother became so devoted to his wife.”
Gu Zi’s smile faltered for a second. Didn’t everyone like large villas with front and back yards?
She had thought that Su Shen, being an older man, was used to living in large houses in Daqing Village, so he bought a large house in the city. She hadn’t expected it to be because of her. She stood up and said, “I’ll go call them down for dinner. You guys eat first.”
