In the early 1980s, as the eldest sister returned to the city with her family, Su Xueqing suddenly realized she had transmigrated into a book.
There was no spare room at home, so Su Xueqing s...
Chapter 107 Fragments Go Traveling
Wei Yaozu's mouth was full of oil. He didn't think he had done anything wrong. He didn't even know that Wei Shanshan had gone to take the college entrance examination. The good things at home were always given to Wei Yaozu first. When Wei Yaozu saw the roast chicken on the table, of course he ate it himself.
Wei Dashan did not stop Wei Yaozu. If he told Wei Yaozu not to eat, Wei Yaozu would be unhappy and even mad. Wei Dashan could only let Wei Yaozu eat first. When Wei Yaozu was eating, he didn't even dare to ask Wei Yaozu to leave some for Wei Shanshan.
"Is this a celebration?" Wei Shanshan took a deep breath.
"Is today my birthday?" Wei Yaozu asked.
"..." Wei Shanshan was speechless. When is Wei Yaozu's birthday? Doesn't Wei Yaozu know?
"Cake, eat cake." Wei Yaozu saw the cake in Wei Shanshan's hand, "Hurry up, cut it, I want to eat cake, I want to eat cake."
No matter whose birthday it is or what holiday it is, Wei Yaozu has to eat since he is the eldest in the family.
Amelia Su threw Wei Shanshan's things aside, took the cake from Wei Shanshan's hand, and said to Wei Shanshan, "Put your things aside."
"Oh." Wei Shanshan watched her mother open the cake and cut the cake for Wei Yaozu to eat. "This is what my aunt gave me..."
“Can you finish such a big cake?” Amelia Su said.
"You can put it in the refrigerator." Wei Shanshan said.
"The refrigerator has to hold other things, so there's no space for this cake." Amelia Su said, "Put your things in, wash your hands, and come and eat. Eating a piece of cake is also a celebration of your high school entrance exam. The high school entrance exam is over, but you still don't know how many points you'll get, and whether you can get into your ideal school."
“Mom, I want to eat cream.” Wei Yaozu pointed at the cake and asked Amelia Su to give him more cream.
“Okay, I’ll give you some cream.” Amelia Su nodded.
"And fruit." Wei Yaozu had just eaten a piece of fruit dipped in cream. It was so delicious that he wanted more.
“Okay.” Amelia Su said.
Wei Shanshan thought that if it was her aunt, she would definitely let her cut it and give her the first piece. Wei Shanshan sniffed and thought that in this family, it was good enough for her to have something to eat, so she shouldn't think too much about it.
When Su's mother learned that Su Yamei had brought Wei Shanshan back, she felt much more relieved. Su's mother was worried that Su Yamei would leave Wei Shanshan with Su Xueqing and would not bring Wei Shanshan back.
"Fortunately, she brought Shanshan back." said Su's mother.
"Of course the eldest sister will take Shanshan back." Third sister Su said, "The eldest sister is very proud. She can let Shanshan live with the younger sister for a while, but she can't let Shanshan live there forever. I was just outside and heard others praising the eldest sister, saying that the eldest sister attaches great importance to the children's high school entrance examination, and that the eldest sister went to pick up Shanshan..."
When Mrs. Su heard those words, she was speechless. Amelia Su didn't care about Wei Shanshan at all. If Amelia Su hadn't taken good care of Wei Shanshan, it would be uncertain whether Wei Shanshan could pass the college entrance examination smoothly. If Wei Shanshan still had diarrhea during the high school entrance examination, it would greatly affect her performance in the exam.
“……” When Su’s mother heard this, she also fell silent.
The Su family knew clearly that Amelia Su didn’t care about Wei Shanshan at all. Amelia Su cared about Wei Yaozu.
"She didn't wait until tomorrow to pick up Shanshan, but went to pick her up today, isn't it to make people feel that she values Shanshan's high school entrance examination?" Su Sansao knew what Amelia Su was thinking with her toes. Amelia Su was a selfish and patriarchal person. "Little sister did so many things, but the eldest sister knew how to pick peaches."
After so many years, Third Sister Su still couldn't like Amelia Su, her elder sister-in-law. Amelia Su's actions were disgusting, but she didn't commit a crime, and no one could do anything to Amelia Su.
"I don't know what will happen to Shanshan in the future." Mrs. Su said, hoping that Wei Shanshan would not become an ungrateful person.
Of course, Mrs. Su didn't think about Wei Shanshan repaying her, and she thought Su Xueqing certainly didn't think about Wei Shanshan repaying her. For Su Xueqing, those things were small things, and she was willing to help Wei Shanshan, so she helped.
Su's mother didn't know what would happen to Wei Shanshan in the future. Wei Shanshan grew up in an environment where she was neglected by her parents. Even if other people tried to be nicer to Wei Shanshan, they were not Wei Shanshan's biological mother after all, and there was no way they could pay attention to Wei Shanshan all the time.
Xiao Wenjun is on summer vacation, and a tutor has to be arranged for her. Before that, Su Xueqing and her husband plan to take Xiao Wenjun out for a few days of travel.
If the altitude is too high, forget it. If you have altitude sickness and feel unwell, you may collapse at any time. No matter how rich you are, it is useless in the face of life-threatening danger.
Su Xueqing and her husband planned to take Xiao Wenjun to the capital to let Xiao Wenjun see the Forbidden City, the flag-raising ceremony, and the museum... Su Xueqing and her husband did not think of taking Wei Shanshan or other juniors with them, they would just take their children with them. Su Xueqing originally wanted to ask Su's father and mother if they wanted to go, but after thinking about it, she decided not to let Su's father and mother go with them. This was a happy time for the three of them, so she decided not to let Su's father and mother go with them.
When Ning Yuhao learned that Xiao Wenjun was going on a trip with her parents, he insisted on going with them.
Mrs. Ning stopped Ning Yuhao from going, saying that she would take Ning Yuhao with her another day and asked him not to go with them. Ning Yuhao was still young, and if he went with them, Su Xueqing and her husband would have to take care of Ning Yuhao more. Xiao Wenjun already needed her parents' care, and Mrs. Ning didn't want to trouble Su Xueqing and her husband.
So Su Xueqing told the Su family, and the Ning family also knew that Su Xueqing and her husband and Xiao Wenjun had set off for the capital.
"Junjun went out to play by plane." Ning Yuhao saw his aunt coming home. He stared at Ning Jiaxuan, "Aunt, my sister went out to play. Brother, my sister went out to play."
"Let's go play." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Do you want to go out and play too?"
"I wanted to, but mom wouldn't let me, saying that my uncle and aunt have to take care of my sister." Ning Yuhao said, "If I go, I still need my uncle and aunt to take care of me. It's too much trouble for my uncle and aunt. Mom said she would take me out to play another day."
"Your mother is right." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Look, Junjun is so beautiful, and many people want to be friends with her. If your uncle and aunt didn't keep an eye on her, and she was taken away by someone, what would you do?"
"So I didn't say I was going." Ning Yuhao said, "Wait until I'm older, a little bit older."
Ning Yuhao is about eleven years old now. Children of this age can take care of themselves, but they are also naughty and will run away at any time. Mrs. Ning knows what kind of personality her child has, so she can't let Ning Yuhao go out to play with Su Xueqing and her husband.
"Yes, wait until you are a little older." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Let your parents take you. No, when you are older, you don't even need your parents to take you on a trip, you can go by yourself."
"When I grow up, I will take my sister there." Ning Yuhao said.
"It depends on how old you are and how old your sister is. If she is too young, you will be beaten." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You only have one sister."
It was Xiao Wenjun's first time on a plane, and she felt everything was new to her, poking here and there. Xiao Wenjun kept chattering, asking this and that, and had a lot to say.
"Mom, is the capital very big?" asked little Wenjun.
"Yes, it's very big." Su Xueqing said.
"Mom, have you been there?" Xiao Wenjun asked again.
"I haven't been there, but your father has." Su Xueqing said.
In her previous life, Su Xueqing had been to the capital, but that was not this life. The previous life and this life were parallel time and space. Su Xueqing didn't know what the capital of this life looked like, but it should be roughly the same.
"Ask your father." Su Xueqing said.
"Dad, Dad, isn't the capital very big? Is it bigger than South City?" Xiao Wenjun said.
"It's bigger than Nancheng." Ning Yanjing replied.
"Then why do we live in the South City instead of the capital?" Xiao Wenjun wondered, "Isn't bigger better?"
"Because our family lived in South City in our early years." Ning Yanjing said, "If mom and dad were not in South City, we might not have met, and you would not be here."
"No, you still have to have mine." Xiao Wenjun said, "Then you should live in South City. We all live in South City."
"..." Su Xueqing looked at her daughter. Her daughter's thoughts changed so quickly.
"We can go to the capital to play." Xiao Wenjun said. "After a few days, I won't feel like playing anymore and I want to go home."
"You still miss home?" Su Xueqing said.
"Grandpa, grandma, brother, grandma, grandpa, uncle and aunt, they are all at home." Xiao Wenjun counted on her fingers, "I have to go home too. Only after I go home can I continue to play with them. If I don't go home, I can't play with them."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "Take a closer look and tell your brother when you get back."
"I want to see it." Xiao Wenjun said, "And take pictures, mom, make sure I look good, not ugly."
"Okay, I'll make sure you look very pretty." Su Xueqing said, "Didn't they all say you look very pretty?"
"It's not good if you look good but don't look good in photos." Xiao Wenjun said, "Mom, let's be beautiful together."
After the plane arrived in the capital, the group went to the hotel first. Xiao Wenjun was also curious about the hotel because it was different from her home.
In the past, Xiao Wenjun was still too young, and Su Xueqing and her husband took Xiao Wenjun around South City, not far away. Xiao Wenjun has grown up a little, almost seven years old, and can really go out to play.
Su Xueqing and her husband did not think about getting up too early in the morning. They had time and did not need to rush around. Some people travel in a hurry, getting up very early in the morning and playing outside at night. It is very busy and very hard. Su Xueqing and her husband took Xiao Wenjun with them, so of course they had to relax a little and not get too tired, otherwise the child's body would not be able to bear it.
Ning Yanjing found a tour guide, who specifically took the three of them on the tour, so they didn't have to follow the main group and worry about getting left behind.
At the Su family, Amelia Su came to see Su's mother, and she was complaining about Wei Shanshan.
"The high school entrance exam is not over yet, and you said that she couldn't work, so I didn't let her work. Now that the high school entrance exam is over, she is at home, just washing her own clothes, and she doesn't know how to do more work." Amelia Su said, "I asked her to sweep the floor, and she only swept it. If I didn't ask her to sweep the floor, she didn't sweep it. Mom, tell me, why is she so lazy."
"Let her rest for a while." Su's mother said, "The high school entrance exam is also very hard..."
"Why can she be so hard?" Amelia Su said, "Other people who took the college entrance examination were not like her. She really is... I don't know how to describe her. No wonder her grandmother asked me to teach her more and let her work more. She is in the city, so it's okay to do less work. If she were in the countryside, who would dare to marry her if she didn't work?"
"Will someone marry you if you do housework?" Su's mother said, "If someone is really capable, they don't have to do housework."
"Mom, you're not talking about my younger sister, are you?" Amelia Su said, "My younger sister graduated from college, and she has a pretty face, so she climbed up the ladder. Look at Shanshan's face, it's completely the face of a Wei family member, and she's not as good-looking as me. She's not pretty enough, and she wants to not do housework in the future? It would be fine if her grades were good, but her grades are not good."
"It's enough for her to go to a technical school." Su's mother said, "Didn't I tell you all this? You still keep nagging about Shanshan's poor grades. Her poor grades are not because you two are not good at studying. She inherited them from you."
"I……"
"If you can't do it well yourselves, don't even bother talking about the children," said Su's mother.
"Looking at her gives me a headache." Amelia Su said, "Other children can help with more housework, but she doesn't work."
"I've already told you, stop talking." Mother Su frowned, "After a while, she will have to go back to school. When she graduates from technical school and gets a job, let her move out. Don't worry about it."
"Mom, she is my biological daughter, how can I ignore her?" Amelia Su said, "She has graduated, and she will have to find a partner in the future. What if I don't keep an eye on her and let my younger sister keep an eye on her? Will my younger sister introduce her to someone? "
"What does this have to do with your little sister?" Su's mother said, "As long as Shanshan goes to the hospital to work as a nurse, there will be many people who will introduce her to potential partners. You don't have to worry about Shanshan not finding a partner. You are worrying about these things now, but it's all in vain. I think you are not worried that Shanshan can't find a partner, but you are afraid that Shanshan will not give you the betrothal money."
"I...that's not the case." Amelia Su felt guilty. She was indeed thinking about the betrothal gift.
"Your younger sister can't possibly take Shanshan's betrothal money. She doesn't need this little money." Su's mother said, "You have to look at Shanshan herself. Does Shanshan want to give you the betrothal money? If Shanshan gives you the betrothal money, will you turn around and give the money to Yaozu?"
"No, nothing happened." Amelia Su said, "Mom, we are saying that Shanshan is not doing anything, not that she is going to get married. She is still young and is not in a hurry to get married."
"At this time, you know that she is still young." Su's mother said.
“Xiao Wenjun is even younger, and my younger sister even took her on a trip.” Amelia Su thought of Amelia Su and her husband taking their children on a trip to the capital, “They are not afraid of losing their children.”
"They both value their child very much, so it's impossible for them to lose the child. Only you could lose the child," said Su's mother.
Su's mother didn't know what happened in the original book. If she knew, she would definitely say a few more words to Amelia Su. In the original book, Amelia Su had a bad temper with her mother and took Wei Shanshan out on the day she returned to the city, but ended up losing Wei Shanshan.
"Xue Qing also said that she would let your father and I go to the capital for fun some other day. She would sign us up for a tour group and let us go by plane." Su's mother said.
“Some other day…some other day, why doesn’t she take you there directly?” Amelia Su said.
"They are a family of three, why should we go over there?" Su's mother asked.
"You are my younger sister's biological parents. She..."
"If we don't go together, we are not her parents? Yamei, what you said is too unpleasant to hear." Su's mother said, "Your little sister is so good to us, can you be so good to us?"
“Okay, okay, okay, I’m not as good as my little sister, I’m not as good as my little sister.” Amelia Su said.
"Don't talk about Shanshan." Su's mother said, "It's only been a few days since her high school entrance exam. Other parents give their children extra food so that they can replenish their bodies. What about you? Did you buy Shanshan delicious food?"
“Bought it, bought it.” Amelia Su said.
"It's all in your family Yaozu's belly." said Su's mother.
"No, Shanshan also has food." Su Yamei said. As for whether Wei Shanshan ate the leftovers of Wei Yaozu, Su Yamei didn't think it was a big problem. As long as there was food, there was no need to be so particular.
"You are... I don't even like to say anything to you." Su's mother said, "I've said it to you so many times, but you are always like this. You don't know how to change at all. You don't know how to be nicer to your daughter. Look at the neighbors in the neighborhood. Those who have daughters are happy. Daughters will come to visit their parents and bring more food for their parents when they come back."
"It's rare for a married daughter to come back, so what's wrong with bringing some food?" Amelia Su said.
“…” Forget it, Mother Su didn’t tell Amelia Su anymore, it didn’t make sense at all. Amelia Su had her own logic, and she couldn’t listen to what others said.
Ning Yanjing had a friend in the capital, and the friend invited Ning Yanjing and his family of three to dinner. Su Xueqing asked Ning Yanjing about his situation. They also brought gifts to that friend and to the child, so they couldn't just go there empty-handed.
Ning Yanjing chatted with his friend, while Su Xueqing sat next to him and played with the friend's wife. After all, they were not familiar with each other, so she asked a few questions and found more topics.
"Do you have a job?" The friend's wife was surprised. She thought Su Xueqing didn't have a job.
"Yes." Su Xueqing nodded, "I have a job."
“Yeah, I heard you’re a top student, unlike me… I’m fine at home.” said my friend’s wife.
"Being a housewife also requires a lot of hard work. It's not that you don't have to work hard, it's not easy for you either." Su Xueqing said.
Everyone has different ideas about whether to work or not. Some people get married because they don’t want to work, while others get married because they are forced to stay at home and be housewives.
The friend's wife asked a lot of questions, asking if Su Xueqing had time to take care of the children while working in the company? How much did the company pay? That little salary was not enough to hire a maid at home, and said it would be more cost-effective for Su Xueqing to take care of the children at home.
When Su Xueqing heard those words, she didn't know how to answer and just smiled.
After returning to the hotel from that friend's house, Su Xueqing didn't say much about Ning Yanjing's friend's wife, but Ning Yanjing could feel that his wife was not very happy.
"If you don't want to talk, then don't say too much." Ning Yanjing said.
"She's your friend, how can I not tell her?" Su Xueqing said, "She just asked me to have a second child, saying that my family needs a son for their business."
Su Xueqing said at the time that men and women are equal, girls can also inherit the family property, and girls can also do business. Su Xueqing did not cover her daughter's ears. Her daughter had already heard it, so she had to let her daughter understand her parents' attitude. She and her husband thought that their daughter would inherit the family property in the future, and did not think about letting Ning Yuhao and Ning Yurong inherit it.
Ning's father, Ning's mother and others did not think about Ning Yanjing sharing his property with Ning Yuhao and his brother. Ning Yanjing and his eldest brother had already separated.
"I told Xiao Junjun that girls can also inherit the family property." Su Xueqing said, "Having her in our family is enough."
Su Xueqing not only said those words to her friend's wife, but also to her own daughter, telling her not to let her daughter misunderstand Zha.
"This friend's wife stayed at home after she got married." Ning Yanjing said, "She also graduated from college, has no job, and stays at home to take care of the children."
"Graduated from college..." Su Xueqing was silent for a while. College students at this time are very valuable, not to mention those who graduated from college in previous years.
"Someone has to take care of the children at home, so they can't work." Ning Yanjing said, "Their family situation is different from ours."
"I can see that." Su Xueqing said, "You are richer than your friend, but your friend's family conditions are not bad either."
"Don't worry about them. They live their lives and we live ours." Ning Yanjing said, "You don't need to be like her. You don't need to stay at home all the time. You do what you like, and it doesn't count as a waste of the family's money. Making money is for enjoyment and to live a happier life. If you are not happy, then it is a real waste of money."
"Yeah, I think so too." Su Xueqing said.
"Me, me, I think so too." Xiao Wenjun quickly raised her hand.
"Okay, our little Junjun thinks so too." Su Xueqing chuckled, "Little Junjun, don't care what those people say, just be yourself."
"Listen to your mother. She is right." Ning Yanjing said, "Those people outside are talking nonsense."
"I know." Xiao Wenjun said, "I'm not that stupid."
Ning Yanjing's friend said he would take Ning Yanjing and his family out to play, but Ning Yanjing said no, and asked his friend to continue to be busy with his own things, and they hired a tour guide. Fortunately, the friend's wife didn't have to travel with Su Xueqing's family of three. If they did, Su Xueqing didn't know what the friend's wife would say.
In fact, the friend's wife is quite pathetic. She had a very good starting point, but because there was no one at home to take care of the children, she had to go home to take care of the children and did not continue to work. Su Xueqing heard from the friend's wife that her husband's salary was high, and that they couldn't both take care of the children. She said that it was better to take care of the children by themselves than to hire someone to take care of the children...
Su Xueqing didn't know whether that person really thought so, or was just comforting herself, or was thinking that others would approve of her and make Su Xueqing the same. Su Xueqing had her own consciousness, and she couldn't do things according to other people's ideas.
Su Xueqing and her husband took Xiao Wenjun to climb the Great Wall. Xiao Wenjun walked very fast at the beginning, and Su Xueqing asked Xiao Wenjun to slow down and keep her in their sight. Xiao Wenjun was very excited at first, but when she found that the Great Wall was really long, she was silent for a long time and would not have run if she had known.
"Are you tired?" Su Xueqing asked Xiao Wenjun to drink some water and wiped the sweat from her daughter's forehead with a handkerchief.
"Not tired." Xiao Wenjun was obviously tired, but she said she was not tired.
When they returned, Xiao Wenjun had fallen asleep in the car before they even reached the hotel.
After arriving at the hotel, Ning Yanjing was about to carry Xiao Wenjun out of the car when Xiao Wenjun woke up.
"Mom." Xiao Wenjun was dazed.
"Yes, yes." Su Xueqing said.
"Mom, I just dreamed that you disappeared." Xiao Wenjun said.
"It was just a moment and you were still dreaming." Su Xueqing said with a smile.
Xiao Wenjun woke up, and Su Xueqing took Xiao Wenjun to the hotel, so Ning Yanjing didn't have to hold Xiao Wenjun.
Su Xueqing and her family of three played outside for about a week, and then they returned to Nancheng. At this time, Wei Shanshan's admission letter arrived, and her score was indeed enough to enter a technical school.
After Wei Shanshan received the admission letter, she showed it to Su's mother.
Su's mother was very satisfied when she saw this, and told Wei Shanshan to study with peace of mind. After graduation, she could work as a nurse in a hospital and have a stable job without having to ask others for money.
"It's good that you can go." Su's mother said, "You are old now, it's time to buy some nice clothes."
"My aunt bought me several pieces of clothes before." Wei Shanshan said, "I can't bear to wear them. I will wear them when I go to school."
Wei Shanshan didn't want to wear those clothes in front of Amelia Su. She didn't like Amelia Su nagging some useless words in her ear. Her biological mother didn't buy more clothes for Wei Shanshan, and she asked her aunt to buy them. Wei Shanshan didn't have a deep affection for Amelia Su. She wanted to graduate from technical school and work early so that she could leave her original family early.
"Okay, let's put it aside for now." Su's mother understood what Wei Shanshan was worried about.
Su Xueqing's family of three went to the Ning family first, and they brought gifts to everyone. Xiao Wenjun told Ning Yuhao about her experiences in the capital, what she ate, what she played, and that she still liked South City more... She had a very talkative little mouth, and no one listened for a long time.
"Brother, you have to go and have a look. It's still okay to play for a few days." Xiao Wenjun said, "If you play for too many days, you won't want to play anymore."
"Let my parents take me there later." Ning Yuhao said.
Brother Ning often doesn't have time, while Sister-in-law Ning has a little more time, but she is also very busy.
"No, let my grandparents take me there." Ning Yuhao said.
"Yeah." Xiao Wenjun nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay."
Ning's father, Ning's mother and others were very satisfied with the gifts brought back by Su Xueqing and her husband. They didn't care about the gifts. When they saw Xiao Wenjun so happy, they were happy too.
"Little Junjun likes going out to play very much." Ning's mother sighed.
"From now on, take her out for a walk every year when you have time." Su Xueqing said, "Let her see more of the scenery outside."
"I want to go too." Ning Yuhao said quickly.
"Go, you know you have to go." Sister Ning said with a smile, "I'll take you there some other day."
"When is another day?" Ning Yuhao didn't believe these people. They said they would take him out to play, but they never did.
"Well, next time, you go out with us." Su Xueqing said, "We'll bring two more bodyguards to watch over the child, that's all."
This time, it was mainly because Su Xueqing and her husband were taking Xiao Wenjun to a faraway place for the first time, and it was not convenient to bring others, so they did not bring them.
"Okay, okay." Ning Yuhao said.
"Your aunt said it, and you believe it? You don't believe it when I say it?" said Mrs. Ning.
"Auntie is much more trustworthy than you." Ning Yuhao said, "Auntie has to go to work, but what she says counts."
"Okay, your aunt is the best." Mrs. Ning had long discovered that these children all liked Su Xueqing very much.
Mrs. Ning thought that these children were all obsessed with looks. Su Xueqing was beautiful and gentle, so all of them liked Su Xueqing. Forget it, forget it, they just liked Su Xueqing. At least Su Xueqing wouldn't deceive them, which was better for them, and it was better than these children being deceived outside.
Su Xueqing's family of three had lunch at Ning's house. After lunch, they took a nap here and would go back after dinner in the evening.
In the afternoon, Xiao Wenjun talked a lot with Ning Yuhao. The two of them had a very happy chat, and Ning Yurong was also listening.
After returning home, Su Xueqing took the gift to find Ning Jiaxuan next door. Su Xueqing went to find Ning Jiaxuan before going out in the morning. She wanted to ask Ning Jiaxuan if she wanted to go to Ning's house together. Ning Jiaxuan was not at home, so Su Xueqing waited until the evening to find Ning Jiaxuan.
At this time, Ning Jiaxuan was at home.
"I slept at my mother-in-law's place last night." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I only came back this morning. I guess you'd have gone out by the time I came back."
"Maybe." Su Xueqing nodded, "It's a gift for you."
Su Xueqing handed the gifts to Ning Jiaxuan and her child. Su Xueqing bought a set of clothes for the child. She originally wanted to buy something else. But Ning Jiaxuan's child was too young, and some things were not suitable for young children to play with, so she simply bought a set of nice clothes for the child in the capital. Su Xueqing bought Ning Jiaxuan a bracelet, which was not cheap.
"It looks good." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I knew you wouldn't forget me."
"Everyone has some." Su Xueqing said, "We just went to my parents' house this morning and brought them all the gifts."
"Alas, I came back too late. If I had come back earlier, I would have gone with you." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"We can go together another day. We don't have to go together today." Su Xueqing said, "I have to go back. Even if we say we have fun, I am tired."
"Go back and rest early." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"I'll go to my parents' place again." Su Xueqing said, "Send the things over early, I have to go to work tomorrow."
"You run to several places every day, you must be tired." Ning Jiaxuan said.
Su Xueqing did not take Xiao Wenjun to the Su family, and asked Xiao Wenjun to rest at home, and she went with Ning Yanjing. Su Xueqing meant that Ning Yanjing was tired, and Ning Yanjing could rest at home and accompany Xiao Wenjun. Ning Yanjing said that he would go with Su Xueqing. Xiao Wenjun played too hard during the day, and fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed when she came back in the evening.
Su's mother didn't expect that Su Xueqing would come over at 7 o'clock in the evening. Su Xueqing and her husband brought some things to give to Su's father and mother, which they bought in the capital.
"You bought a lot of things." said Su's mother.
"It's OK." Su Xueqing said, "You guys take it, we'll send it off, and then we have to go back. We have to go to work tomorrow."
"Didn't you ask for a day off tomorrow?" Su's mother asked.
"How can we always rest?" Su Xueqing said, "I can take a long vacation this time because I worked overtime before, and the previous project was completed, so I can rest now. There are many places that need us for urban construction, and there are many large and small projects."
"Okay, you guys go back and rest early." Su's mother said, "By the way, Shanshan's admission letter has arrived."
"That's good." Su Xueqing said, "Go to school. She's still young. She shouldn't go out to work directly at such a young age. She still needs to study more."
"That's what I told your eldest sister, let the children read more." Su's mother said, "You go back first, rest more, and don't get tired."
"Okay." Su Xueqing nodded.
"Mom, let's go back first." Ning Yanjing said.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing quickly took the car back. In the car, Su Xueqing said, "Look, I'm just going to deliver something and then go back. Why did you come with me? Aren't you tired?"
"Not tired." Ning Yanjing held Su Xueqing's hand tightly. He really didn't feel tired at all. "I haven't been here for a while. It's good to see your parents with you."
"I don't know if Xiao Junjun is still sleeping or whether she has woken up." Su Xueqing said, "Let the teacher come to teach her in a few days."
"Then let her have a good rest in two days." Ning Yanjing said.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing had to go to work, so they did not force Xiao Wenjun to study immediately. Xiao Wenjun was still young, and the child should have a happier childhood.
It was a new day, and Su Xueqing went to work. Only then did she hear that the company was going to send people to undertake projects abroad, and they would have to stay abroad for one or two years.
In her previous life, Su Xueqing had gone abroad to undertake projects. In this life, Su Xueqing did not intend to stay abroad for such a long time. Su Xueqing still had children, so she would not go.
"The company doesn't plan to let female colleagues go out." Han Fang said, "Some places abroad are quite chaotic, and female colleagues are more likely to get into accidents when they go out. Not to mention female colleagues, even male colleagues are likely to get into accidents when they go out."
"Someone still has to go out." Su Xueqing said.
"The company asked everyone to sign up voluntarily, and male colleagues are given priority." Han Fang said, "If you go abroad to work on projects, the salary is high and can be doubled."
"Why, are you moved?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Looking at the salary, it's really enviable." Han Fang said, "But we have to do what we can. Some money is not something we can earn. My husband is going to sign up."
Han Fang's man doesn't work in the same office as her, but he also works in the same unit.
"We both already have a child and we have family planning, so we don't plan to have any more children." Han Fang said, "If he goes out to work for a year or two and brings back more money, it will be of great benefit to our family. He just needs to be careful and not run around. If he follows the main group, there won't be any big problems."
"Have you thought about it?" Su Xueqing asked.
"I've thought about it." Han Fang said, "His ability is not particularly outstanding. Going abroad to work on a project can be considered as gilding. When he comes back, he can get a raise."
"That's true." Su Xueqing said, "If you don't go abroad to do projects, there are many projects in China. Now the country is building roads, digging mountains when there are mountains, and building bridges when there are people. There are also many things to do."
"Isn't it the money that's different? The qualifications are also different." Han Fang said, "There are so many people doing things in China. It's too difficult for him to stand out. We are not like you. You think about everything very carefully and make better designs than us. My husband and I discussed it for a few days. I also want him to be with me and the children, but for the sake of the children, he still has to go out."
"Just make sure you guys agree on it." Su Xueqing said, "Going out, the salary is high and it looks good on your resume, but it's very hard work. Some places are not only messy, but there are also all kinds of mosquito bites, which is very uncomfortable."
"He's prepared for it," Han Fang said. "He's making more money abroad, and I'm working and taking care of the kids in China. It's hard for him, and it's hard for me too. If we grit our teeth and hold on for a year or two, life will get better."
"Your idea is very good." Su Xueqing said, "Both sides should work together, so that we can live a better life."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We're not stealing or robbing, and we're not doing business. If we do business, there's the risk of losing money." Han Fang said, "We can't do anything else, so we can only do these things."
"If you encounter any problems, just tell me." Su Xueqing said.
"It's okay. When the child is not in school, you can bring the child to work." Han Fang said, "But my husband won't be around at the time, so I have to take care of the child more. It's hard, but one or two years will pass quickly."
Su Xueqing admires Han Fang and his wife. They are both very organized people.
When she returned home in the evening, Su Xueqing said that her unit had taken on a project abroad.
"You want to go?" Ning Yanjing's heart tightened.
"I didn't go. Xiao Junjun is still so young, why should I go?" Su Xueqing said, "There are many things to do in China, and we don't need to go. For things like this, male colleagues have priority, and the company has made it clear. Overseas is different from China, and there is no certainty about what problems you will encounter. Cultural differences, dietary differences...all kinds of different customs and habits, if you are not careful, you will violate other people's taboos. It is indeed inconvenient for female colleagues to go out, and male colleagues will be better."
For people in Su Xueqing's field, not only do companies prefer to send male colleagues abroad, but they also prefer to send male colleagues to some projects abroad. The proportion of male colleagues in companies like theirs far exceeds that of female colleagues, so there is basically no need to worry about no male colleagues taking the work. On the contrary, female colleagues have fewer opportunities, and this cannot be entirely blamed on the company for not giving them opportunities. Sometimes it is really difficult for female colleagues to go.
It is not right that the male colleagues took a big risk while the female colleagues who did not take the risk said it was unfair. Some things really cannot be simply said to be fair or unfair, nor can it be said that the company does not allow female colleagues to go. If female colleagues really want to go, they can sign up and persuade the leaders. The leaders are not against them going.
"It's Han Fang's husband who wants to go." Su Xueqing said, "They want to make more money so they can give their children better education in the future. It's all for the children. When you have a child, parents want to think more about the child. The child hasn't grown up yet, but they're already thinking about what to do when the child grows up, and the child's marriage. Not to mention others, my eldest sister, she works so hard to open a store and make money, all for her family's honor!"
At this time, Amelia Su was scolding Wei Shanshan, "Your brother broke the bowl, don't you know to pick up the pieces? And you know he hurt his hand."
