Lu Xiao clutched the ration tickets, his heart a mix of shock and joy as he listened to his mother-in-law.
He straightened his back and gave Mrs. Su a solemn military salute. "Ma, thank you! I won't let you down. I'll work hard!"
Seeing his serious expression, Mrs. Su couldn't help but laugh. "Don't be so formal with me. Just treat Tangtang and the baby well. That's better than anything."
She and Su Wenbin only had one daughter, Su Tang. Everything they had would one day be hers.
And naturally, it would also be Lu Xiao's.
Paving the way for Lu Xiao was, of course, paving the way for Su Tang.
Su Tang watched this scene from the side, the corners of her mouth turning up in a smile.
Her parents' arrival was like adding another warm fire to the home, making her feel incredibly secure.
Mr. Lu brought the simmering fish soup to the table, its rich aroma instantly filling the air.
"Come on, try some. The fish was just caught, it's as fresh as can be."
