Miao Zhizhi looked at Su Binglan’s work and exclaimed, “It’s so beautiful!”

“Hang this up early in the morning when you and Uncle Fengchen get married. It’ll look better,” Su Binglan said.

Old Madam Su was also happy when she saw this. “You’re very good with your hands, Binglan.”

Su Binglan responded, “I’ll cut some frames and make small lanterns as decorations, too. I’ll put them in the room after.”

She started cutting with the scissors as she spoke while everyone stopped eating and watched her hand movements. They could only think of how skillful the young lady was as she cut several frames.

Su Binglan also made lantern decorations, which everyone thought looked excellent.

During dinner, Old Master Su and Su Fengchen carefully poured the wine from the jar and started drinking. After taking just a sip, Old Master Su was amazed. Old Madam Su anxiously asked, “How is it? Is it good?”

She did not know much about wine but genuinely wanted to know if it tasted good, especially since her granddaughter had brewed it.

Old Master Su carefully put down the small bowl and said happily, “It’s delicious. It’s too delicious. This wine is better than all the ones I’ve drunk before. It’s mellow and fragrant.”

He took another sip and smacked his lips, savoring the smell of alcohol. Su Fengchen added, “I think the wine Binglan made tastes good, too.”

He also picked up his tiny bowl and took another sip. Immediately after, he nodded in admiration and said, “This wine is exquisite, Binglan!”

Old Madam Su said happily, “Our Binglan is so capable that she can even make her own wine.” She did not expect her granddaughter to be able to brew wine.

Everyone was delighted as they spoke of the wine and enjoyed their dinner. Soon after dinner, Su Binglan prepared to go home.

However, before leaving, she said, “Aunt Zhizhi, I asked the others to prepare something nice for you. You’ll know what they’ve prepared when they send

them to you.”

Her words piqued everyone’s curiosity.

Old Madam Su asked, “What are they, Binglan?”

“They’re just daily necessities for Aunt Zhizhi and Uncle Fengchen. We’ll place their dowry in the carriage on their wedding day, and everyone will see it. These things will also consist of supplies from our embroidery shop. Aunt Ding will bring them over tomorrow to show you.”

Old Madam Su pulled Su Binglan’s hand and said, “Now that you mention it,

I’m so anxious to see it. It must be good.”

Miao Zhizhi looked at Su Binglan gratefully and said, “The things you prepared must be good. Binglan, thank you.”

She spoke the truth to Su Binglan and liked the Su family even more. Here, she felt the warmth of home. Old Madam Su and Old Master Su treated her well, while Su Fengchen was considerate and concerned.

She felt as though they had healed her broken heart.

Su Binglan smiled at Miao Zhizhi. “You don’t have to thank me. I only want you and Uncle Fengchen to live well. That’s the most incredible gratitude you can give me.”

Miao Zhizhi understood what Su Binglan meant. She nodded, saying, “Don’t worry, we will.”

Miao Zhizhi knew how deep her feelings for Su Fengchen were. Not only was he her savior, but he had also mended her heart. She knew she would cherish and treat him well.

Su Fengchen understood his niece’s words and held Miao Zhizhi’s hand before saying to Su Binglan, “Don’t worry about that, Binglan.”

Su Binglan felt relieved when she looked at the couple. Although she was their niece, she was still concerned for her aunt and uncle.

She exited her grandparents’ house and noticed it was snowing as she walked home. She saw snowflakes beginning to fall and was stunned.

“Is it snowing?” She looked at the snowflakes and felt pleasantly surprised. Then she stretched out her hand, and the snowflakes melted on it.

The north wind blew at this moment, blowing away the snowflakes drifting in the air. Su Binglan thought it might snow heavily soon, so she picked up her pace and soon arrived home.

Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua had not eaten yet, as Su Wenzhe and Su Wenwu returned just before Su Binglan. The family was busy cooking as Su Binglan entered.

“My daughter is back,” Su Fengmao said happily.

“Father, did you see the wine jar?”

“I saw it. Your second brother says he can’t wait to drink your wine. However, your mother said we should cook a few more dishes tonight to enjoy the wine.” At this moment. Sli Fengmao wag thrilled

Su Wenzhe and Su Wenwu were delighted, too. The duo occasionally glanced at the wine jar, thinking they should prepare and eat the dishes as soon as possible.

Su Binglan could not help but laugh when she saw everyone’s happy expressions.

Shen Qiuhua was cutting vegetables when she looked at her daughter’s hair and said, “Why is your hair a little wet?”

“It’s snowing outside,” Su Binglan answered.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked outside when they heard it was snowing.

“Is it snowing?”

The sky was not as dark then, so everyone could see the falling snowflakes when they looked out. Then the snowfall gradually became heavier.

“Wow, it’s really snowing.”

“It looks like it’ll snow heavily.”

“The snow is good. Auspicious snow heralds a bumper year.”

Farmers liked to see snow during winter because it heralded a bumper year. It would typically be an excellent following year if it snowed heavily. Then the weather would be good, and the farmers could harvest their crops.

Everyone smiled. Even Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai knew it was snowing. They ran to the door and clapped excitedly. “It’s snowing! It’s snowing!”

“You’re not wearing much now.” Liu Yinyin pulled them back. “So, you’re not allowed to go into the courtyard.”

She was worried her two children would catch a cold.

Su Binglan looked at Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai and said, “Get them to put on their pants and sweaters.”

She had already knitted sweaters and pants for the two youngsters. However, Liu Yinyin felt the clothes were too good and wanted her two sons to wear new clothes during the New Year instead, so she gave them two thick clothes they had from previous years.

Still, those clothes were only thick but not very warm.

Su Binglan looked at her sister-in-law and said, “I made a few for them, but they’re still in the embroidery shop. I also made them down jackets and several other clothes. Let the two wear their sweaters and pants, Sister-in-law.”

Liu Yinyin said, “Those clothes are too good. I’m afraid they’ll wear them out and get dirty. They won’t feel the same after I wash them.”

The family had grown accustomed to wearing good clothes on rare occasions or when visiting relatives. They would typically store their good clothes in the cabinet or quickly wear out if they wore them daily.

Although the family’s financial situation improved exponentially, Liu Yinyin retained this habit. After all, she barely had good clothes in the past, let alone new ones.

She usually had to sew and mend her family’s clothes constantly. Also, it was already good enough to have clothes to wear..
