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 52: Thunder Breakfast Shop Opens
"Ruyun also said that if you are willing, you can live there first." Brother Xu said, "I was worried that you would not be willing, so I was embarrassed to ask you."
"I've been bullied to this extent. If I don't go over, my things will be taken away." Yu Li said, "Don't let the things you buy for your family become old things. The new things should be used to show filial piety to your parents."
Yu Li is not someone who is willing to suffer a loss. She has no blood relationship with Xu Dasao. Even if they are brothers and sisters, Yu Li will never give in to Xu Dasao. Yu Li does not want to be laughed at by Su Xueqing, saying that she dares to say something to Su Xueqing, but dares not to say something to Xu Dasao, and dares not to fight for what she deserves.
"Tomorrow, go prepare the straw mats and quilts." Yu Li said, "The straw mat in my dormitory is for one person and is too narrow. You can bring the quilts with you first."
"I'll pick you up from school tomorrow." said Brother Xu.
"I have to tell the dormitory manager." Yu Li said.
Yu Li didn't plan to say that she would not live in the dormitory at all. If it didn't work out later, she would still have to live on campus. It all depends on whose side Brother Xu will stand on. I wonder if Sister Xu will make a scene early.
When closing the stall, Xu Ruyun left with Xu Erge and Yu Li.
"Second sister-in-law, you can live over there." Xu Ruyun called Yu Li directly. "My second brother doesn't understand those things, and he thinks that the eldest brother is his real brother, so he is easily influenced by others. You go over there and keep an eye on him."
Xu Ruyun still admires Yu Li, who knows how to plan for herself. Xu Ruyun doesn't think Yu Li is wrong. In her previous life, she didn't know how to plan for herself. She always thought about others. When she suffered losses, it was too late to plan for herself. For someone like Yu Li, as long as she was given a sweet treat, Yu Li would stand on Xu Ruyun's side.
"Your second brother and I haven't obtained the marriage certificate yet... Don't accuse me of rushing the process." Yu Li said, she thought of Su Xueqing, "When my classmate was not yet engaged to her boyfriend, she also moved out of the dormitory and lived in separate rooms. I think it's good for her to do that, the two of them can cultivate their feelings."
"Of course, of course." Xu Ruyun said, "Don't worry, my second brother will definitely be responsible for you. Second sister-in-law, are your parents coming soon?"
"We'll arrive tomorrow afternoon." Yu Li said, "That's perfect. We'll pack our things tomorrow morning and pick up my parents at the train station tomorrow afternoon."
"That's good." Xu Ruyun nodded. "When your parents arrive, we'll go to the restaurant for dinner and let my second brother take them to a hotel."
"Yeah." Yu Li said. She didn't say that her parents should live with her. If her parents lived in the room, then Brother Xu would sleep on the floor.
Originally, if Second Brother Xu had not moved out, he would have lived in the Xu family, and Yu Li and her parents would have lived in the house over there, which would have been the best.
When Yu Li moved out of the dormitory, Xiang Yutong had already moved to Tian Jiao's dormitory. Yu Li brought Brother Xu to move things, and Xiang Yutong came out of the dormitory next door.
"Are you moving away?" Xiang Yutong asked.
"Move out first." Yu Li said.
Xiang Yutong didn't ask more, Yu Li didn't say anything, and it wouldn't be good for Xiang Yutong to ask more. They wouldn't be students of the same major in the future, and they wouldn't live in the same dormitory. Why would she ask so many questions? It would only add to her troubles.
Yu Li asked Brother Xu to move the things away, and she also moved some things. Brother Xu rode a tricycle over, and they put the things on the tricycle. Nancheng University is close to Brother Xu's house, and the two of them quickly moved the things to the house bought by Brother Xu.
Xiang Yutong didn't pay much attention to Yu Li, because many people knew that Yu Li had moved away.
In the afternoon, Yu Li and Xu's second brother went to the train station to pick up the Yu family, and the Xu family and the Yu family had dinner together in the evening.
When Su Xueqing went to school in the afternoon, she met Tian Jiao and learned that Yu Li had moved out.
"When you were dating, you moved out of school, and Yu Li also moved out. You were the one who supported her, so if others wanted to talk about her, they would have to talk about you first." Tian Jiao said, "Someone met her, and she said you were like that at the time."
"..." When Su Xueqing heard this, she really couldn't say that Yu Li was wrong. She did move out of the dormitory early and did not live in it.
"Yu Li's parents came over today." Tian Jiao said, "When she moved out of the dormitory, a classmate asked her and she said so. It's quite formal, it's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words."
"She is old enough to get married." Su Xueqing said, "The school does not have a rule that students cannot get married."
"She should get the marriage certificate." Tian Jiao said, "Since her parents are here, there's no way she won't get the marriage certificate. If both parties are satisfied, getting the marriage certificate early can also avoid other problems that may happen later."
"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded.
"She has been going on blind dates for a long time and has met many people," said Tian Jiao.
"You know?" Su Xueqing asked.
"I heard from people that she went out for blind dates, but she didn't meet anyone the first or second time. But after a few times, she eventually met someone." Tian Jiao said, "In order to stay in Nancheng, she made preparations early. After getting married, it doesn't matter whether she can be assigned a job in Nancheng or not. At worst, she can find a job on her own and still stay in Nancheng."
"Her partner is my next-door neighbor, who lives next door to my parents' house." Su Xueqing said.
"So close?" Tian Jiao didn't know this yet.
"Yes." Su Xueqing nodded.
Xiang Yutong knew a little, but she didn't tell Tian Jiao and the others. Su Xueqing came to school basically for classes or to the library, and she didn't tell Tian Jiao, so Tian Jiao naturally didn't know about this. At most, she thought that Su Xueqing's parents lived in a small alley with Yu Li's boyfriend, but she didn't expect the distance to be so close.
"I heard that her boyfriend bought a house." Tian Jiao said, "She is moving to that house this time. It has two rooms, which is quite convenient."
"Yes, I bought a house." Su Xueqing said, "It's also in the alley over there."
"You...you have no ideas?" Tian Jiao asked.
"What should I think? She's not marrying my brother." Su Xueqing said, "She doesn't cause trouble for me, and I don't cause trouble for her. We live in peace. They bought a house, not next to my parents'. If we meet on the street, we don't have to say hello."
"That's true." Tian Jiao felt that Su Xueqing was right. "The road is wide and each of us walks halfway."
"What about you? Are you also thinking of finding a partner in South City?" Su Xueqing asked, "If you want to find one..."
"Forget it." Tian Jiao said, "I didn't think about finding a partner in South City. My grades are average. My parents mean to go back to my hometown. Our family is also in the city. I can have some connections there, which will be convenient for me to work and get married. If I stay in South City, they can't help me. I think what they say is right."
It's not that Tian Jiao doesn't want to work hard in Nancheng, but she doesn't want to be too tired. She can be more relaxed, so why make herself so hard?
"It's far from my mother's home. If something happens, I won't be able to help." Tian Jiao said, "If I ask you classmates, you have your own things to do. It's impossible for you to help me deal with those trivial matters."
"You have ideas and decisions." Su Xueqing said, "Go the way you want to go in the future."
"Are you going back?" Tian Jiao and Su Xueqing walked out of the library together and talked a lot on the way.
"Let's go back." Su Xueqing did not go to the school cafeteria to eat.
"Okay, I'll go to the cafeteria to eat, you go back." Tian Jiao was holding a book in her hand and she waved to Su Xueqing.
The Yu family and the Xu family were having dinner at the table. Xu's mother talked about the betrothal money. This betrothal money was not all paid by Xu's father and mother. 666 yuan was agreed upon in advance and it was not reduced. Yu's mother had heard from Yu Li earlier that the Xu family was willing to pay this betrothal money and the Yu family had no objection.
Mrs. Xu had some opinions, but she didn't say anything. They bought a house and gave so much money as a betrothal gift, just because Yu Li was a college student from Nancheng University, those people thought that Yu Li was going to become the face of the Xu family. Mrs. Xu thought, even if she was a college student, so what? After getting married, college students still have to make a living.
"It's settled then. Then... let them go and get the certificate in the next two days." said Xu's mother.
When Xu's mother came, she brought the money directly. To be more precise, after Xu's mother arrived at the hotel, Xu Ruyun asked Xu's second brother to give the betrothal money to Xu's mother first. Xu Ruyun was worried that if Xu's mother took the money too early, Xu's eldest sister-in-law would have some ideas. In order to prevent Xu's eldest sister-in-law from having such ideas, it was best to give the money when everyone was having a meal together at the hotel.
When Xu Dasao saw the large amount of betrothal money, she couldn't take her eyes off it, wishing she could get the money in front of her. Xu Dasao also wanted to buy a house, so why didn't her parents-in-law say to give less betrothal money?
"We brought the household registration book." Yu's mother said. She counted the betrothal money and made sure it was correct before saying these words.
Yu's mother knew Yu Li's thoughts. Yu Li wanted to stay in South City, which was better than their hometown. Yu's mother would not destroy her daughter's bright future. As long as the Xu family followed the Yu family's requirements, Yu's mother would not make things difficult for them.
When Mrs. Xu went to the bathroom, she saw Xu Ruyun and deliberately said, "They are not reserved at all. They didn't refuse at all."
"I like it, and it's suitable, why would you reject it?" Xu Ruyun didn't follow Mrs. Xu's words, "It's a different era now, there's no need to be so particular."
Some families have rules that require the man to visit the woman several times before she agrees.
The Yu family lives in another province, not in this one. They can't stay here for many days, so of course they have to resolve the issue quickly.
"Our family has done a good job and has been very polite. Others have no reason to refuse." Xu Ruyun said, "Sister-in-law, you are not trying to be that excuse, are you?"
"That's not true!" Mrs. Xu said quickly.
"There is no best." Xu Ruyun said, "Speaking of which, sister-in-law, you and second sister-in-law are really not on the same level."
"I……"
Xu Ruyun didn't continue to pay attention to Xu Dasao, she went to the box first. Xu Dasao's maliciousness was exposed, and Xu Ruyun didn't want to waste time talking to Xu Dasao. Xu Ruyun thought that Yu Li couldn't be the same as the second sister-in-law in her previous life. The second sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law in her previous life were the same kind of people. The two of them stood together and said that Xu Ruyun shouldn't think about divorce, and asked Xu Ruyun to think more about the children.
Now, from the very beginning, Yu Li and Mrs. Xu did not get along.
Xu Ruyun was happy to see the conflict between Xu Dasao and Yu Li. Yu Li was a smart person and she knew whose side to stand on. If possible, Xu Ruyun wanted to get Xu Dasao and Xu Dasao to divorce and change to another sister-in-law. But Xu Dasao had given birth to children for Xu Dasao, so it was impossible for the two to divorce.
Mrs. Xu felt aggrieved when she saw Xu Ruyun leave like that. She was just stating the facts and the Yu family just didn't have the modesty of a woman.
After arriving at the private room, Mrs. Xu didn't dare to say anything about being reserved. She picked up some food for the child and asked him to eat more. "It's rare for you to come out for a good meal. Eat more."
Xu Ruyun glanced at Mrs. Xu and thought, it was just a meal, how petty.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you should eat more too." Sister Xu said, "We don't usually have such good food to eat."
Yu's mother knew at first sight that Xu's sister-in-law was dissatisfied. But what's the point of a sister-in-law being dissatisfied? It's not the sister-in-law who is marrying a daughter-in-law.
When Su Xueqing returned to her room and prepared to take a shower, she saw Aunt Li put the washed pajamas in the closet. The three sets of pajamas were bought by Ning Jiaxuan. Su Xueqing reached out to touch the pajamas and said she would change them when she went to bed. She had to go downstairs later and couldn't wear such thin pajamas.
Su Xueqing has long hair. After washing her hair, she sat in the living room, where there was a fan. Su Xueqing did not plan to go out for a walk. The temperature outside was still very good. If she walked, she would sweat again.
"What did you gain today?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"Do you want to hear me talk about work or gossip?" Su Xueqing asked.
"All is fine." Ning Yanjing said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
"My roommate who changed her major is going to marry the son of my neighbor, who lives next door to my parents." Su Xueqing said, "She moved out of the dormitory. When others asked her, she said she moved out too."
"I lost." Ning Yanjing sighed.
"Huh?" Su Xueqing was puzzled, "What did you lose?"
"They must have obtained the certificate earlier." Ning Yanjing said.
Su Xueqing thought Ning Yanjing was going to say something, but she didn't expect Ning Yanjing to say this, "Everyone else in the dormitory is older than me. She is old enough to get a marriage certificate, so she can get one. You can't ask me to change my age and get a marriage certificate with you. I don't want to be one year older for nothing."
"Wait until you reach the age." Ning Yanjing said.
"Today I went to the river with the teacher and saw someone fishing there." Su Xueqing said, "The teacher went over and talked to him. Do you know what the teacher said?"
"What?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"Guess." Su Xueqing said.
"Those who say they are fishing are going to raise fish." Ning Yanjing said.
"How do you know?" Su Xueqing was surprised.
"People who fish often come up empty-handed." Ning Yanjing said, "When Dad goes fishing, it's good if he can catch a small fish. If Dad doesn't catch any fish, he goes to buy fish and comes back to lie to Mom that he caught a fish. Mom is too lazy to expose Dad, so she lets Dad feel proud for a while."
"My dad rarely goes fishing, but my brother does go fishing and catching shrimps." Su Xueqing said, "They are small fish, about the length of a middle finger or index finger. After these small fish are processed, they are fried in a pan on both sides until they are browned and the bones are crispy. My mother would tell my brother not to go alone, saying that those who drown are those who can swim."
Su Xueqing liked the small crispy fish very much, but she didn't want her brother to be in danger, so she asked him not to go. Even though Su Sange said he was on the shore and used a net to catch fish, and said he didn't go to the center of the river, the family still asked Su Sange to go less. Their family is not fishermen and does not make a living by fishing.
"Now that I have money, I can go to the street to buy some." Su Xueqing said, "There are many fish sellers on the street, and some people sell small fish like this."
"Ask Aunt Li to buy it some other day." Ning Yanjing said, "Ask Aunt Li to make whatever you want to eat."
"I can't cook, I can only eat." Su Xueqing said, "Aunt Li's food is delicious, it doesn't matter how you cook it."
Su Xueqing had no opinion on the food cooked by Aunt Li. This is the case for those who can't cook. The food cooked by others is delicious. If others' cooking skills are better, Su Xueqing will even find them amazing.
The Su family, the third brother Su bought some small fish from the street. Small fish have many bones, and you need to fry the bones until they are crispy, which requires a lot of oil. Some families don't like to buy such small fish. Deep-fried small crispy fish smells good and tastes good, but it is expensive.
"Are you buying all the remaining people?" Su's mother saw the fish in the bucket.
"I've bought them all." Brother Su San said, "I'll return the bucket to them tomorrow."
It was already past seven in the evening when Su Sange got off work. The man who was selling fish near their factory said that he went there in the afternoon and the price was cheaper, but they hadn't sold out yet. If they couldn't sell out, they would have to take it home and eat it themselves. Su Sange knew the man, so he just bought it all.
"It's so late, and we still have to deal with these fish." Su's mother went to get a pair of scissors. She had to kill all the small fish first. She had to wait until they were clean before putting them in the refrigerator.
"We are all acquaintances. I saw that he still had so much fish. We have a refrigerator at home, so I bought it directly. He gave it to me at a lower price." Brother Su San said, "I remember that my little sister used to like deep-fried small crispy fish very much. She always removed the fish head before eating it, and there were several small fish heads left in the bowl."
Su Xueqing was afraid that others would say she was wasteful, so she would run to the door and meow a few times to see if there were any kittens coming to eat the fish heads. Su Xueqing sometimes secretly dumped the fish heads into the soil in the backyard, saying that it was fertilizer to make the cucumbers grow faster.
"It will explode tomorrow. Send some to your younger sister." said Su's mother.
"That's what I thought." Brother Su San said, "There aren't many of these fish. Fry them and they'll shrink."
"It's a good thing you still remember your little sister." said Su's mother.
"Of course I remember. My little sister and I grew up together." said Brother Su San.
Brother Su San also fought for Su Xueqing. When others bullied Su Xueqing, Brother Su San would fight directly. Although Brother Su San seemed to have no sense of existence, he was really good to his sister.
"Grandma, you go and have a rest, I'll do it." When Mrs. Su saw that Old Lady Su was going to handle the fish, she hurriedly said, "Your eyesight is not good, let us do it, we can see clearly and handle it cleanly."
"You think I didn't handle it properly?" Old Mrs. Su said with a smile, "Okay, you guys go and handle it."
Su's mother and Su San's wife sat at the door with stools. There was a faucet next to the door, and the space was larger than the backyard.
"Be careful, don't hurt your hands." Su's mother said.
"Don't worry, Mom. It's not like I haven't handled fish before." Mrs. Su said, "The Xu family next door hasn't come back yet."
"I went to see my parents-in-law, so I won't be back so soon." Mother Su said, "I'm having dinner at a restaurant outside. There are some things we need to discuss."
"They are really fast." Mrs. Su sighed.
"If you meet the right one, act quickly and make a decision early to avoid any accidents." Su's mother said.
"That's right, college students have more choices." Mrs. Su said, "College students have come to our company and they work in offices directly, and their salary is not low."
When Mrs. Su heard what her colleagues said, she was particularly envious of them because those people no longer had to work on the assembly line and could sit in the office with fans on.
"She has studied for so many years and has brains, so she deserves the money." Su's mother said, "If it were you, would you be able to get into college?"
"I can't pass the exam." Mrs. Su said, "After the college entrance examination was resumed, many people took the exam but failed."
Su San's wife handled the small fishes skillfully. She and Su's mother handled it for more than half an hour before they finished handling all the small fishes. Su San's brother bought a lot of fishes, and some of them were very small, so it took time to handle them. Su San's wife did not tell Su San's brother not to buy such small fishes next time. Someone in the family likes to eat them, so it would take a little time.
Amelia Su and her husband no longer ate at the Su family's house. They cooked their own food. They ate their own steamed buns in the morning, and went back to cook after selling them at noon. They are now waiting for the store to open, which will be more convenient.
The Yu family did not stay in a hotel. They stayed in the house bought by Xu Erge. Xu Erge vacated a room and slept in the living room. Yu Li had one room, and Yu's father and mother had another room. Xu Erge asked Yu's father and mother to stay in a hotel, but they did not go. They said they could just stay in the house bought by Xu Erge. Yu's mother said she could sleep in one room with Yu Li, and Yu's father could sleep in one room with Xu Erge. Xu Erge said he could just sleep in the living room.
The Yu family didn't want to save money for Xu Erge, they were afraid that Xu Erge and Yu Li would mess around, so they decided to wait until the two of them got married before living alone under the same roof. Xu Erge didn't dare to say no, as long as things went smoothly, he would be happy.
In the room, Yu's mother pulled Yu Li aside to talk, and Yu Li told her some things about Su Xueqing.
"You used to say bad things about others." Yu's mother poked Yu Li's head, "Look at them, they didn't say bad things about you behind your back, and they didn't want to ruin your marriage."
"I..." Yu Li opened her mouth and felt deflated. Su Xueqing did not stop her from being with Brother Xu.
"You also said that the other person's partner is capable. If he really wants to deal with you, you won't even have a chance to resist." Yu's mother said, "Don't speak ill of others in secret in the future. You need to know your limits. You are not a little girl anymore. You are going to get married soon. You need to be sensible."
"I know." Yu Li said, "Mom, that sister-in-law...she is the real bad one."
Yu Li no longer regards Su Xueqing as an enemy, and does not say much about Su Xueqing's faults. Mrs. Xu is her biggest enemy.
"It's not good." Yu's mother nodded. "I know it from what she said at the dinner table."
Yu Li and her mother closed the door and spoke in low voices, fearing that Second Brother Xu would overhear them. There were some things Second Brother Xu could hear, but there were others that Second Brother Xu could not hear.
"You and your classmate will be neighbors in the future," said Yu's mother.
"She doesn't live here..."
"Her parents live here." Yu's mother said, "They have lived here for many years and know a lot of people. Don't offend others, be sweet-mouthed, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative, get along better with people."
"She doesn't even talk to me anymore." Yu Li said.
"No, she doesn't care about you, you don't have to rush to her." Yu's mother said, "I mean you and her parents, her family, your neighbors, and your classmates will come over in the future. It's always better to have one less enemy than one more. Or you unilaterally treat people as enemies. You make them unhappy, so how can they be nice to you?"
When Yu Li went on a blind date, her mother was very worried that she would just marry someone just to stay in Nancheng, and that she would not know how to distinguish right from wrong. Yu Li was spoiled by her parents and sometimes she was a little spoiled and didn't think before she spoke. With her parents by her side, Yu Li had good grades since she was a child. After she went to Nancheng University, she felt a frustration she had never felt before.
Su Xueqing didn't know about the conversation between Yu Li and Yu's mother. If she knew, she wouldn't be able to say much. There was nothing to say between Su Xueqing and Yu Li.
When Su Xueqing learned that the Yu family had arrived, they had already left. Yu Li and Xu Erge got their marriage certificate, and they were legally married. As for the wedding banquet, the man and the woman held it separately at different times.
Amelia Su and her husband's breakfast shop was about to open, and Su Xueqing got up early. The breakfast shop sold food, so it had to be early. Su Xueqing was dazed and a little sleepy. After breakfast, she went with Ning Yanjing.
Amelia Su set off firecrackers at around eight o'clock in the morning. She didn't dare to do it too early. It would disturb the people and some people would still be sleeping. At eight o'clock, it was considered quite late. Many people had already gotten up, but those who were on shift might still be sleeping.
Su Xueqing covered her ears, and Ning Yanjing also helped Su Xueqing cover her ears. They stood by and watched.
When Wei Dashan set off the firecrackers, he deliberately chose a place far away from the bun shop. Even though the buns were covered by the steamer, Wei Dashan was still worried about dust. He set off the firecrackers from a distance and with the door slightly closed.
There were several flower baskets placed in front of the breakfast shop. In addition to the flowers sent by the brothers and sisters of the Su family, Aunt Su's family also sent a flower basket. Brothers Yu Jiachao and Yu Guochao did not send flowers individually. They did not have much money, so they combined and sent one to save some money.
The Yu family meant that it was a small bun shop, and there were not enough flower baskets to be placed at the door. People from the Su family would send them, so don't send too many. Flower baskets were worthless in Amelia Su's hands, and buying too many would be a waste of money. Amelia Su would not thank them too much, so it would be better for them to spend less money and keep the money in their own hands.
Amelia Su had no objection to the Yu family only sending a flower basket.
"Eat buns, eat buns." Su Yamei distributed buns to the relatives who came. It didn't matter how many guests there were today. When the relatives came, they couldn't just stand by.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing each held a bun in their hands. Su Xueqing had already had breakfast and couldn't eat anymore, but she still held the bun, not wanting to stuff it into Ning Yanjing's hands at this time. Su Xueqing thought about it, and then she broke the bun into two halves, eating half for herself and the other half for Ning Yanjing.
When Amelia Su saw this scene, she thought that Amelia Su and Ning Yanjing had a really good relationship.
“Eat what you have in your hand, there are more.” Amelia Su said with a smile, “There are several different types of buns, you can try them all.”
When Amelia Su distributed the buns, she distributed meat buns. Anyway, it was just a one-time opening, so she had to let the relatives know how generous they were and not be too stingy. After all, the relatives didn't take more buns. One was enough. Some people took two more, but Amelia Su didn't argue with them.
There were not many relatives who came, and they were all close relatives. After they took the buns, many of them left. The rest were the Su family and people from Aunt Su's family.
Aunt Su didn't come, and Amelia Su didn't tell Aunt Su. Aunt Su heard others say that Amelia Su opened a store, and she didn't receive Amelia Su's invitation, so she couldn't come. Aunt Su has always been arrogant and had to let others praise her.
"These buns really taste good." Aunt Su said, "Can we make money by selling buns?"
"Whether you can make money depends on your skills. If your skills are not good, the buns you make will not taste good, and people will not buy them." Amelia Su said, "Dashan started learning during the Chinese New Year. He learned from his mother and the pastry chef. That's how he became like this. Not to mention Dashan, I also learned. The buns we make are not exactly the same as theirs. We make the fillings ourselves. Aunt, you'll know after you try it."
"It's OK." Aunt Su said, "It will cost you a lot of money to sell the store, right?"
"Yes, it's impossible to sell a store for free." Amelia Su said, "Others can't run the store anymore, so we have to spend money to buy it."
Aunt Su looked at the steamers in the shop and asked, "So many steamers, are they steaming everything at the same time?"
“Aren’t they all steamed together.” Amelia Su said, “It’s impossible for us to make them all at once and steam them separately. Aunt, does your family also want to open a breakfast shop?”
Amelia Su wanted to ask more: "Auntie, do you have money? You can't open a breakfast shop without money."
"We borrowed money from our parents to open the store." Amelia Su said, "I used all the betrothal money that my younger sister left with my mother."
“…” Amelia Su didn’t expect that Amelia Su would say that her mother gave her eight hundred yuan, leaving only eighty-eight yuan in her hand.
"Little sister, when you get married, I will definitely pay you back." Amelia Su said, "Marriage is a big deal, and you can't do it without money. We can't give you a dowry if someone gives us a betrothal gift."
Amelia Su said this deliberately. The money borrowed by Aunt Su has not been repaid yet. It has been less than a year, which is a short time. But given the current situation of Aunt Su's family, it is likely that it will be difficult for Aunt Su's family to pay back the money.
"Sister, let's go back first." Su Xueqing said, "I got up early today and I feel a little sleepy."
These days, Amelia Su was busy with Professor Guo, and she was also very tired. After finally taking a day off, Amelia Su's breakfast shop opened, so Amelia Su had to come with Ning Yanjing.
"Go, go." Amelia Su waved her hand. She was in a good mood.
Many people came to the breakfast shop to buy steamed buns today, and some people bought several at a time.
Amelia Su’s face was full of smiles. It was a good start, and she believed that things would get better and better.
When Amelia Su left, she glanced at Amelia Su again. Amelia Su and Ning Yanjing walked a little further away, and Amelia Su sighed, "Sister has found something to do."
"I have things to do, so you don't have to worry about it." Ning Yanjing said.
"I don't worry about it." Su Xueqing said, "The buns she makes are really delicious."
"Do you want to eat more?" Ning Yanjing still had a bun in his hand.
"I can't eat." Su Xueqing said, "If I knew that my elder sister was so generous today, I would have come here without eating."
Amelia Su wasn't sure if Amelia Su would give everyone food, after all, Amelia Su was going to open a store to do business. Su Yanan was not sure either, so the two sisters discussed bringing some food over so that they wouldn't have nothing to eat and their stomachs would growl.
After Su Xueqing left, Su Yanan took the children back home. She was still thinking that she had taken advantage of her elder sister today. The three little kids all got to eat buns, and they were all meat buns.
Mrs. Su didn't go to work today, so she could take care of the children. Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su went home, and Su's mother patronized Amelia Su at the breakfast shop.
Some customers are repeat customers. They bought from Amelia Su and her husband when they were selling buns from their cart.
"You guys really opened a breakfast shop." The customer said, "I'll come here to buy some other day."
“Yes, we sell it here. We don’t push the cart to sell it.” Amelia Su said.
Before, when Amelia Su and Wei Dashan were pushing the cart to sell, Amelia Su would put some buns and steamed buns in the bamboo basket and sell them on the street. After they had a shop, they no longer had to sell them on the street. People would come to the shop to buy directly, and they would not have to find them to buy buns and steamed buns.
After Yu Li and Xu Erge got married, they slept in the same room. After they got married, they still had to buy the furniture. They bought the refrigerator and TV first, but they had to wait for a few days for the cabinet, which was still being made.
Yu Li didn't make breakfast. She went directly to Amelia Su's breakfast shop and bought steamed buns and soy milk.
"From now on, we will buy breakfast at the breakfast shop at the door, which is opened by the daughter and son-in-law of the Su family." Yu Li said, "Their steamed buns are delicious and the price is also reasonable, much more cost-effective than making them ourselves."
"Buy it over there." Brother Xu had no objection. Making breakfast in the morning could save a little money, but it was too hard. Yu Li was a college student, and Brother Xu was embarrassed to let Yu Li stay in the kitchen to wash vegetables and cook.
Amelia Su and her husband made some more steamed buns today, and before noon, they were all sold out. There were only two steamed buns left, and Amelia Su and her husband did not sell them anymore, but packed them up and took them back, and then they closed the store.
When they got home, Amelia Su and her husband cooked again. They did not go to the Su family for dinner. Amelia Su was humming while cooking, and she was in a very good mood.
Amelia Su was cooking outside on the roadside. When the neighbor saw Amelia Su cooking, she asked, “Is business good?”
“It’s okay. Please take care of my shop when you are free.” Amelia Su said.
After the meal was ready, Amelia Su and her husband had their meal, and then they went to Su's house to pick up their son. Wei Shanshan stayed at Su's house. Amelia Su meant that it was already difficult for her to take care of a child, so she let Wei Shanshan stay with Old Lady Su. Wei Dashan had to do other things, and he had no time to take care of Wei Shanshan.
After Aunt Su and her family went back home, after dinner, Yu Dasao and others sat at home. They had no job, just odd jobs, and there was no work every day.
"Mom, how about we open a breakfast shop?" said Mrs. Yu.
“Open a breakfast shop?” Aunt Su just asked Amelia Su so many questions. She wanted to know if opening a breakfast shop could make money. If it could, it would be nice to open one at home.
"You asked your cousin those questions because you also want to open a breakfast shop, right?" said Mrs. Yu.
"The steamed buns we make are not as good as theirs." said Aunt Su.
"Let them teach us." Mrs. Yu said, "We didn't open a store with them, so if we open one here, they will agree."
Mrs. Yu thought that Amelia Su and her husband already knew how to make steamed buns, so her family could go and learn directly without having to pay extra to find someone else to learn.
"this……"
"It's hard to say since they are opening today." Mrs. Yu said, "Wait another day and ask them if I can learn from them."
"..." Aunt Su was silent.
"Mom, please ask." Yu Dasao said, "If it's possible and can make money, we can open a breakfast shop and don't have to look for odd jobs everywhere. They don't let us find a job for our future cousin's husband, so let's learn the skills from our eldest cousin, right?"
"I'll ask another day." Aunt Su said, and the heavy burden fell on Aunt Su again.
The Yu family is counting on Aunt Su to speak up. Of course, Aunt Su's family members have to go to Aunt Su to speak up, as it won't work if others speak up.
"I see how happy my cousin is, she must have made some money," said Mrs. Yu. "I heard they used to push the cart out to buy things, and now that business is good, they're selling the store. If business wasn't good, they wouldn't have sold the store, they would have tried to find a job."
Yu Dasao meant that if Amelia Su and her husband said that they didn't make money, it was fake that Amelia Su was fooling Aunt Su. Yu Dasao was not sure whether Amelia Su was willing to pay them, so she asked Aunt Su to ask anyway, and they didn't need to come forward. Amelia Su had to give Aunt Su some face.
In the afternoon, Su Xueqing was awakened from her sleep by a loud thunder.
Su Xueqing thought of the clothes on the top floor, so she hurried upstairs, only to find that Ning Yanjing had put away the clothes.
Aunt Li had just gone out and hadn't come back yet. Ning Yanjing went upstairs to collect clothes by himself, and he also collected Su Xueqing's clothes.
"Let me do it." Su Xueqing quickly took the clothes from Ning Yanjing's hand. Her thin pajamas were still in Ning Yanjing's hand.
"I'll get it." Ning Yanjing said, "I'll give it to you when I get downstairs."
"It's okay, I'll get it myself." Su Xueqing was a little embarrassed, knowing that her underwear was also there, "Clothes... Clothes may not be dry yet."
"Put it under the eaves." Ning Yanjing said as he spread out the clothes.
"Done, done." Su Xueqing hurriedly stopped Ning Yanjing. These were her clothes.
Aunt Li's clothes were not hung out to dry with Ning Yanjing and Su Xueqing's clothes. She hung them somewhere else to dry. On the top floor were Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing's clothes. Aunt Li usually collected the clothes and folded them.
"I've seen it." Ning Yanjing said, "The style of the pajamas is nice."
"..." Su Xueqing thought that she should not wear it and should just put the pajamas in the closet.
"After buying it, you still have to wear it." Ning Yanjing knew what Su Xueqing was thinking as soon as he saw her expression.
Suddenly, there was another loud thunder, and Su Xueqing was startled and her body trembled.
Ning Yanjing hurriedly walked to Amelia Su and hugged her, “Don’t be afraid, let’s go downstairs.”
