Chapter 595
Outside the Sun family's door, Su Xinghui hesitated for a moment and raised his hand to knock. A few seconds later, the door opened, revealing a face that was very familiar to Su Xinghui.
Of course, this face was much younger than the one in his memory because she was only seventeen years old now.
She was Sun Xuelan, Su Xinghui's wife from his previous life.
At this time, Sun Xuelan was just a high school sophomore. She was still excessively young and somewhat timid, making it hard for Su Xinghui to associate her with the shrewish wife from his previous life.
Su Xinghui was momentarily dazed, and he had some trouble distinguishing which space-time he was in.
Sun Xuelan's voice pulled him back to reality: "Are you Su Xinghui? My dad is waiting for you."
Su Xinghui steadied himself and said, "Hello, I am Su Xinghui."
Sun Sinian's voice came from inside the room: "Is Township Head Su here?"
Sun Sinian walked out of the kitchen and greeted him enthusiastically. Seeing the fruit Su Xinghui was carrying, he complained, "Township Head Su, you're here, why bring anything?"
Su Xinghui said, "Just a small token of my appreciation."
Sun Sinian took the things from Su Xinghui's hands and pulled him into the living room, saying, "Sit, sit. Xuelan, pour your Big Brother Su a cup of tea."
Su Xinghui sat down on a sofa, and Sun Sinian sat beside him. Sun Xuelan poured a cup of tea for Su Xinghui, placed it on the coffee table in front of him, and said, "Big Brother Su, have some tea."
Su Xinghui was again left between laughing and crying. The generations were all messed up; Sun Sinian said they were brothers, and now he was letting Sun Xuelan call him Big Brother. He looked at Sun Xuelan and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
Sun Xuelan blushed and said "You're welcome," then ran into her room somewhat flustered.
Sun Sinian smiled at Su Xinghui and said, "My youngest daughter, Sun Xuelan."
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Mm, very pretty."
Su Xinghui had originally just said it as a polite remark, but Sun Sinian's eyes immediately lit up: "Is she really very pretty?"
Su Xinghui had already said it, so he couldn't take it back immediately. Besides, in all conscience, Sun Xuelan was indeed quite pretty, and she was only in her teens now, so tender she could almost drip water.
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Mm, quite pretty."
At this time, Sun Sinian's wife, Zhang Ping—Su Xinghui's mother-in-law from his previous life—came out of the kitchen carrying two dishes: "Old Sun, dinner is ready. Little Su is here, let's eat, let's eat."
Su Xinghui stood up, but Sun Sinian complained, "Zhang Ping, what are you babbling about? Call him Township Head Su."
Zhang Ping hurriedly said, "Oh, Township Head Su, Township Head Su, let's eat."
Su Xinghui laughed, "It's fine, just call me Little Su."
Sun Sinian ushered Su Xinghui to the dining table to sit down and then called out, "Xuefei, Xuelan, Zhuoxuan, come out to eat."
Zhang Ping brought the dishes out one by one, and Sun Sinian's three children also came out. His eldest daughter was named Sun Xuefei, nineteen years old, a high school graduate working at the Tobacco Bureau. The youngest daughter was Sun Xuelan, seventeen. The son was named Sun Zhuoxuan, almost sixteen, currently in his third year of junior high.
Although Sun Xuefei was only two years older than Sun Xuelan, she looked much more mature. Her hair was permed into the big waves popular in this era. She wore a red woolen coat on her upper body and the black stirrup pants popular in this era on her lower body. Her lips were painted with bright red lipstick, which looked like blood at first glance.
Actually, in Su Xinghui's eyes, her style was a bit tacky, but Sun Xuefei had good features—red lips and white teeth, bright eyes, and skin that was white with a rosy tint. No matter how she dressed, she was still quite pretty; it was just that she looked several years older than her actual age.
Sun Xuelan was still dressed like a student, with a plain face, simple clothes, and her hair tied in a ponytail. However, she looked more pleasing to Su Xinghui's eyes. Looking at Sun Xuelan as she was now, and then thinking of her hideous appearance more than a decade later, Su Xinghui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Sun Zhuoxuan still had a childish look, and at home, he acted like a good boy. However, Su Xinghui knew his background all too well: his studies weren't great, he fought and caused trouble at school, and later, after graduating high school, he hung out with the Shan Xiaolong gang.
In this life, the Shan Xiaolong gang had all gone where they belonged, and he didn't know what Sun Zhuoxuan's fate would be in this life.
After the three children sat down, Sun Sinian introduced them to Su Xinghui: "This is my eldest daughter, Sun Xuefei."
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Mm, very pretty."
Sun Sinian said, "She works at the Tobacco Bureau."
Su Xinghui said, "That's a good unit."
Sun Sinian said, "Yes, the Tobacco Bureau has high wages, and the benefits during holidays are not small either. This year, her benefits alone amounted to several thousand yuan."
This wasn't a lie; the Tobacco Bureau's benefits were indeed very good, almost on par with the Power Bureau. At that time, both were monopoly enterprises.
Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Good, good."
Zhang Ping laughed, "Xuefei doesn't have a boyfriend yet. Whoever marries her will be blessed."
Su Xinghui couldn't respond to this. He became vigilant in his heart—could this couple be thinking of marrying Sun Xuefei off to him?
Sun Sinian complained, "Why are you saying these things to Township Head Su?"
Zhang Ping rolled her eyes at him and lowered her head, but she still muttered, "Wasn't it you who told me to say it?"
