Chapter 23

Su Xinghui came to the backyard. Sure enough, his aunt Su Cuie was busy in the kitchen. He called out "Auntie," and Su Cuie looked up and said happily, "Xinghui is here! You must be hungry, Auntie's food will be ready soon."

Su Xinghui sat on a small stool by the stove and started adding firewood to the stove. When he was a child, this was the chore he loved to do the most.

Su Cuie asked while stir-frying, "Xinghui, I heard you started working?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, I've been working for more than twenty days."

Su Cuie said, "You must work hard. By the way, when are you getting married?"

Su Xinghui was a bit embarrassed. "Auntie, I don't even have a girlfriend."

Su Cuie chuckled. "Then you have to hurry up."

The aunt and nephew chatted for a while, then brought the food out to the main room, and the family started eating.

Yu Maode's eldest son, Yu Gaoping, and second son, Yu Gaoshan, had long since married and moved out, and both daughters had married. Only the youngest son, Yu Gaofeng, still lived with the old couple.

Yu Gaofeng was Su Xinghui's cousin, but he was actually only a month older than Su Xinghui. Both were only twenty-one years old this year.

Yu Gaoping and his wife farmed at home, Yu Gaoshan made a living by selling fish, and only Yu Gaofeng followed his father to study medicine. Each generation of the Yu family only had one descendant studying medicine, while the others either farmed or studied. Because the Yu family was not only a family of medical practitioners but also a family of scholars and farmers, in Yu Maode's generation, his family was the only one practicing medicine in the entire Yujiawan.

Yu Maode had excellent medical skills, good martial arts, and a head full of knowledge. He passed his martial arts and land to his eldest son and his medical skills to his youngest son. It was a pity that his second son only liked making money and refused to learn anything. Fortunately, there was Su Xinghui, his nephew, who not only liked to learn martial arts from him but also inherited his head full of knowledge. How could Yu Maode not like Su Xinghui? ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
