Chapter 56: All Engagements Are Sour

"She's on a blind date?" Su Xueqing was surprised.

"Not bad." Ning Yanjing said, "Take a look early and see what you like."

“…” Su Xueqing didn’t know what to say, and Ning Jiaxuan didn’t tell Su Xueqing.

"She probably hasn't told you yet because you're busy." Ning Yanjing said, "She will probably ask you."

"I..." Su Xueqing wanted to say that she didn't quite understand, but she still waited for Ning Jiaxuan to tell her.

Su Xueqing doesn't want Ning Jiaxuan to follow the path of the original novel. She still needs to be careful and not be easily fooled. Some people go on blind dates, but these people like to pay attention to love later, and don't want a fiancée, but to pursue true love.

Su Xueqing can't like the kind of man who has a fiancée but still pursues true love and doesn't talk nicely to his fiancée.

You have a mouth, can't you say something? Explain it clearly and save everyone's face.

The male protagonist didn't say anything, he just thought that if he failed to pursue true love, he could still marry his fiancée, so he had no loss. While his fiancée was fighting with true love, the male protagonist felt happy because so many women liked him and he was the only one.

"I went on a few blind dates." Ning Yanjing said.

"You have to look carefully when you are going on a blind date." Su Xueqing said, "You have to look at all aspects of the conditions."

"Mom has asked around, not everyone can go on a blind date with Jiaxuan." Ning Yanjing said, "Jiaxuan said she wants to find a significant other and stop eating dog food all the time."

"There's no rush to find a partner," Su Xueqing said.

"There's no need to rush." Ning Yanjing said, "I didn't go on blind dates early, and I haven't met anyone I like. I'm not that old, so there's no need to rush."

If Ning Jiaxuan were here, she would definitely roll her eyes. How could her brother not be anxious? At first, her brother was not anxious because she had not met Su Xueqing. After her brother met Su Xueqing, her brother knew he was anxious.

Just as Ning Yanjing thought, Ning Jiaxuan went to find Su Xueqing two days later.

"You don't know how bad those people are." Ning Jiaxuan said, "They really think I know nothing. For some people, I know what kind of people they are without my parents asking. My second aunt really dares to bring anyone in front of me. I think she wants to arrange a terrible person for me to highlight how happy her daughter is."

"If you don't like it, don't force it." Su Xueqing said, "Don't pick the tallest among the short ones. You can still look at others."

"I didn't pull it out." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I shouldn't have gone on a blind date, I shouldn't have said I wanted to go on a blind date. These people are not good people, they are all very bad. One of them already has a girlfriend, and his girlfriend is pregnant, but he still refuses to take responsibility."

"Pregnant?" Su Xueqing was surprised.

"Yeah, he was with a female college student." Ning Jiaxuan said, "The female college student probably wanted to stay in South City, and the guy just wanted to have fun and didn't want her."

"What should we do? We're pregnant." Su Xueqing asked.

"Just get rid of it." Ning Jiaxuan said, "That guy said that in front of me, saying that it was just for fun, that it wasn't serious, and that he said that before I was with him. After I was with him, he would never do these things and would definitely behave well. No one would believe him. He also said that with conditions like ours, it would be enough for us to be a good match, and that I could have fun outside in the future."

"Ah?" Su Xueqing was surprised, "We can't have this."

"Of course not." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Do you really think I'm a fool? When he has other children outside, will my child still compete with those children for the family property?"

"There is no heir to the throne in their family. Even if there is, such a person would not be suitable." Su Xueqing said, "He is fooling you because of your good family background. Later, when he finds someone else, he will say that you knew he was that kind of person all along."

"That's right." Ning Jiaxuan nodded. "That's right. Of course I can't agree to it. Do you know what my second aunt said?"

"You said it doesn't matter?" Su Xueqing guessed, "You said that's before marriage, and men will be fine after marriage?"

"How do you know?" Ning Jiaxuan was surprised.

"These are all old excuses." Su Xueqing said, "Some people can't control their sons, so they expect their daughters-in-law to do it. Others think that the person is not their own, and saying a few words will not affect their family, and may even bring benefits to their family, so of course they say that."

"Yeah, they are so hateful." Ning Jiaxuan said.

"It's very hateful." Su Xueqing agreed, "People like this are not good. Don't even meet them."

"My second aunt likes that. I didn't ask to meet her, but she brought her boyfriend to me and told my mom how great they were." Ning Jiaxuan rolled her eyes. "Before, she wanted to introduce someone to my brother. My brother told her not to, but she insisted on introducing him. She even brought the boyfriend to my house and forced my brother to meet him, saying that there was nothing to lose by meeting him once and maybe they would fall in love with each other."

"..." Su Xueqing had heard Ning Jiaxuan say this before, but she didn't ask what kind of woman Ning Yanjing had met.

"Second Auntie looks like she's thinking about us, but that's not the case. She's thinking about herself." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I don't know how much benefit she has received from others in private."

"You don't want to see it." Su Xueqing said.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Even if we meet, I won't be fooled." Ning Jiaxuan said.

"Don't meet them alone." Su Xueqing said.

"They don't dare to do anything to me." Ning Jiaxuan said, "They are still afraid of our family."

"I'm afraid, but I still have to be careful." Su Xueqing said.

"Don't worry." Ning Jiaxuan said again, "I went on a blind date just to see how bad they could be. Yesterday, someone came to our house and said that the two families had a child marriage, and that it was arranged by the older generation, that is, my grandparents' generation. Isn't my little brother engaged to you? They told me that their grandson is not bad."

"Huh?" Su Xueqing was surprised, "You didn't say it before, but you are saying it now?"

"They were not in Nancheng before, but came to Nancheng recently." Ning Jiaxuan said.

"Did you see someone?" Su Xueqing thought, could that person be the male protagonist?

My God, Su Xueqing hoped that Ning Jiaxuan would not fall for that man, but she had no choice. She couldn't just say that she was dreaming and dreamed that Ning Jiaxuan became a vicious female supporting role. How could Ning Jiaxuan believe it?

"I haven't seen her yet." Ning Jiaxuan said, "It was the man's grandmother who came."

"Didn't he come to Nancheng with you?" Su Xueqing asked, "If he came to Nancheng, why didn't he come with his grandmother to see you? Was he delayed by other things?"

"I'm not sure. They said they had something to do and didn't come with us. They said they would come together another day." Ning Jiaxuan said, "They said we grew up together. They originally lived in South City, but moved to other cities and are now back in South City. Their family... their family was once sent to a farm."

When Ning Jiaxuan said this, she looked around. They were talking at Su Xueqing's residence, and Ning Jiaxuan was worried that others would hear these words.

"This..." Su Xueqing thought that was the male protagonist. The male protagonist's family had been sent to a farm and later rehabilitated. The male protagonist's family conditions were still good. After the rehabilitation, many things were returned.

But the protagonist's family had been sent to the farm for many years, and many things had changed.

"What do you think?" Su Xueqing asked.

"My mom means that we still have to meet him." Ning Jiaxuan said, "It's been many years, and I can hardly remember what that person looks like. My grandparents are long gone, but I still have to see him. However, you don't have to worry, their daughters are basically married, and even if they are not married, you and my brother are already engaged. If they have any shame, they will not let you and my brother break off the engagement. Don't even think that you can get a divorce after you get married. If they really dare to do that, it's not a marriage alliance, it's an enmity, and my brother will never agree to it."

"Let's not talk about me and your brother. The important thing is you." Su Xueqing said, "They are coming for you, not your brother."

"Let's wait until we meet." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I've met so many ugly people, I don't mind meeting one more. Anyway, I'm still in college and haven't graduated yet, so there's no rush, let's meet first."

Ning Jiaxuan and Su Xueqing didn't know that at this time, the man was talking to Xu Ruyun. The original hero's name is Yan Yichen. His family returned to South City. The Yan family was preparing to do business and expand the business.

Yan Yichen had met Xu Ruyun before, and he knew that Xu Ruyun had drawn the design of the headdress for the factory to produce, which made Yan Yichen see an opportunity. Don't underestimate this small thing, many families buy it for their children, and it can be used by children and adults.

Designing things like jewelry is a big deal, but it’s a bit difficult to do such things now.

Yan Yichen decided to start from a smaller place, such as building a factory to produce headwear and establish their own brand. Yan Yichen admired Xu Ruyun very much. Xu Ruyun worked very hard and had talent. Xu Ruyun was short of money, so she couldn't build a factory. She probably couldn't manage a factory either. She could only take the design drawings to find a factory to produce.

If they join forces, one pays for building the factory and the other draws the design, they will definitely make a fortune.

"You mean you will pay?" Xu Ruyun was surprised. She had just arrived to set up the stall when Yan Yichen showed up.

When Xu Ruyun encountered difficulties in purchasing goods, she met Yan Yichen, who helped her solve the problem. Xu Ruyun did not expect that she would meet Yan Yichen again. Is Yan Yichen so rich?

"Yes." Yan Yichen nodded, "I'll pay, you come up with the design."

"Do you have money?" Xu Ruyun doubted. She didn't think she had the ability to get others to pay for building a factory and give her shares. When Xu Ruyun went to find a factory to produce, they only wanted to buy the design drawings. Some factories didn't even want to buy the design drawings, saying that they knew how to produce after just one look and that the design drawings were worthless.

"Yes, we can sign a contract." Yan Yichen said, "We can find a notary."

Xu Ruyun still didn't quite believe the person in front of her, "Why are you looking for me? You can ask someone else to design it."

"Your designs are warm, not just beautiful." Yan Yichen said, "You said that the jewelry you made is safe and will not hurt children."

Yan Yichen had heard Xu Ruyun say this to others before, and he thought it was a very good idea. Children's headwear must be beautiful and safe. Xu Ruyun was so attentive to a small headwear, which showed that she was a person who cared about children and women. If they wanted to make money from women, they had to consider more issues.

"Did you know that Nancheng is going to build a development zone?" Yan Yichen asked.

"I know." Xu Ruyun nodded, "Someone from our street went there to participate in the construction."

"I plan to buy a piece of land to build a factory." Yan Yichen said, "The development zone has not been built yet, but Nancheng needs us to invest funds for construction, and there are certain support policies."

The Yan family came to Nancheng at this time because they wanted to invest in Nancheng. They had lived in Nancheng before. No matter what happened to them here, good or bad, it was all in the past. They had to focus on the future. Yan Yichen wanted to have those high-tech technologies, but it was very difficult. Instead of thinking about those complicated things, it was better to think about simple things. People's livelihood is no small matter. Things that can make money are good things.

"You can count it as a technology investment." Yan Yichen said, "This is not without requirements. There are requirements. You have to continue designing. Not only does it have to be a good-looking headdress, it also has to be safe."

"These things are not jewelry." Xu Ruyun said, "I don't know how to design jewelry. I only know these simple things."

Xu Ruyun said in advance that she didn't want Yan Yichen to misunderstand her. "I am just a simple person in the market. I don't know those high-end things, and I don't know how to cut or design jewelry. If you ask me to design gold jewelry, I may not be able to do it."

"You don't have to do all that. You just need to design these simple things you mentioned." Yan Yichen said, "Simple things will have many buyers and a huge market. Don't underestimate these little things. There are so many people in the country and every household will buy them."

A family cannot have only men. Men always have a significant other. As long as there are women in the family, they basically have to buy things like hairbands.

Yan Yichen considers himself not a person with a big appetite, he has to be down-to-earth.

"We can't give you a lot of shares." Yan Yichen said, "We can't just ask you to design in the future."

"Okay." Xu Ruyun said, "Sign the contract."

Xu Ruyun wanted to take a gamble. She didn't make a lot of money. If Yan Yichen was really rich, there was no need for him to lie to her. Xu Ruyun didn't want to set up a stall all her life. She wanted to open a store and have her own factory, her own company, and her own brand. Xu Ruyun learned those things by herself in her previous life. She didn't learn professionally from others. She loved her children deeply, so she did it by herself.

Ning Jiaxuan went back after dinner. Su Xueqing asked Ning Yanjing about the Yan family.

"Your name, Yan, Yan... are quite similar." Su Xueqing suddenly thought of this.

"Don't think too much. There's also 'Yan' in my eldest brother's name." Ning Yanjing said, "I and the Yan family... I have met the girls of the Yan family before, but we were still young at that time, and I didn't have any romantic feelings for them."

"Does your family have to have someone?" Su Xueqing asked.

"Not necessarily. It depends on whether Jiaxuan and the Yan family are attracted to each other." Ning Yanjing said, "If they are not attracted to each other, this marriage will naturally not count. My parents originally thought that the Yan family would not come to talk about this marriage. So many years have passed, and it was just people of my grandparents' generation who said it casually. When the Yan family was sent to the farm, I don't know if they looked for our family. Something happened in our family at that time. My grandparents died one after another, and we were unable to take care of ourselves."

In that special era, who dared to easily help others, especially those who were criticized? Most people were seeking self-protection and did not dare to get involved in those things.

"Didn't your family help them?" Su Xueqing asked.

"I did send things, but I don't know much about other things." Ning Yanjing said, "Before that, I'm still young, and my parents can't tell me everything. My grandparents are gone, and our family rarely goes out, so we are very careful in everything we do."

The Ning family donated their property during the war, and some Ning family members sacrificed their lives. The country values the Ning family, but this does not mean that the Ning family can help others at will. The Ning family is also in a precarious situation, and it is good enough to take care of their own family.

"Our family didn't take advantage of their misfortune." Ning Yanjing was sure of this. "People around us were sent to farms, but my parents didn't dare to say anything."

Some people say that Ning Yanjing's grandparents died at the wrong time. After their death, the leaders above also wrote words, so who would dare to touch the Ning family at the risk of their lives?

Ning Yanjing never told Su Xueqing about those things. They were all things of the past and there was no need to make Su Xueqing sad.

"This time, they came and talked about the marriage between the two families." Ning Yanjing said, "My parents can't say no, Jiaxuan thinks we can give it a try. If the person is willing, it's not impossible."

"this……"

"In this era, arranged marriages, is this what you want to talk about?" Ning Yanjing asked.

"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded, "It still depends on Jiaxuan's own wishes. Don't let Jiaxuan be with that man just for the so-called promise. They came back to Nancheng and looked for your family for marriage. In fact, they were thinking about development."

"Marriage is not as simple as you think." Ning Yanjing said, "Don't worry about it. Jiaxuan is not a three-year-old child. She knows what to do."

"A marriage without love will not be happy." Su Xueqing said.

"Yes." Ning Yanjing said.

People at their social level sometimes don't care about love or not.

Ning Yanjing can find the one he loves, but Ning Jiaxuan may not be able to find one, and many people can't. If you can't find the one you love, then it's better to be with someone who is of the same social status as you, rather than being with someone who has a bad family background and is eyeing their family's property.

Before things happened, Su Xueqing couldn't stop Ning Jiaxuan. Sometimes the more she tried to stop him, the less successful he would be. Things turned out to be different from what she expected, which would further promote things. Being too clever is just like that.

"Don't worry." Ning Yanjing emphasized, "We are already engaged, and many relatives know about it. The Yan family can't ask me to cancel the engagement. They still have dignity, and their daughter also has dignity."

The steamed buns made by Yu Guochao and his wife were still not very tasty. The bun skin and steamed buns were a bit rough, which was related to the flour. But they didn't want to give up. They still wanted to make it to see if they could sell it. As a result, the sales effect was not good, very bad.

Someone told Yu Guochao and his wife that they could put something in the flour. With that little thing, the steamed buns would look good and taste good.

So Yu Guochao and his wife bought some and used them, but they didn't last for many days. Mrs. Yu didn't want to get up too early, and Yu Guochao didn't want to either. After working so hard, the money he earned was not as much as that of a part-time worker, so he might as well quit.

"Are you not making buns and steamed buns again?" asked Aunt Su.

"No more." Yu Dasao said, "I have to get up so early every day, even chickens don't get up that early."

"..." Aunt Su was speechless. These people asked her to find the Su family, and asked Yu Dasao and his wife to learn how to make steamed buns from Amelia Su and her husband, and asked Su Xiao to find the secret recipe. As a result, it didn't take long for Yu Dasao and his wife to stop selling breakfast. "Then what do you do?"

"We do whatever work is available," said Mrs. Yu. "We make steamed buns and those people insist that we buy their flour and other things. We get up early and at the end of the day, we make money for them."

Mrs. Yu decisively gave up selling breakfast. She didn't mention any secret recipes. Why bother trying to make something you can't do?

"You can't make all the money," said Mrs. Yu. "If you always get up so early, you'll age a few years older."

"Yamei and the others can do it." Aunt Su said.

"That's because their business is good." Mrs. Yu said, "They use such good flour, aren't they afraid of losing money? Don't they need to switch to cheaper ones?"

It was when Yu Dasao was making buns and steamed buns at home and selling them that she found out that there was cheaper flour. Someone was selling that kind of flour, and if you bought more, you could get it even cheaper. Also, the powdery stuff those people gave her really made the buns look better.

"This is their family matter." said Aunt Su.

"You are my cousin's aunt, you can remind her." said Mrs. Yu.

"No need to go. They also understand what we all understand," said Aunt Su.

"Maybe they used that flour." Yu Dasao said, "Next time, if you go there, don't eat their buns and steamed buns. They might have put something unclean in them."

A few days ago, when Yu Dasao and his wife were making steamed buns to sell, they made them separately for their own consumption. Now, they don't do it anymore, but they know a little bit about it.

Sister Yu began to suspect whether Amelia Su had added something that shouldn’t be added to the noodles, and suspected that the flour was not good. If Amelia Su was here, she would definitely want to tear Sister Yu’s mouth to pieces, what does it mean to put something unclean.

Amelia Su and her husband used good and fresh ingredients for breakfast, and they also ate it in front of the guests. The Su family also went to buy and eat it, so others knew that the steamed buns made by Amelia Su and her husband were good and the quality was guaranteed. If the food was not good, the Su family would not buy it, and Amelia Su and her husband would not eat the steamed buns they made themselves.

When Amelia Su learned that Yu Guochao and his wife were not going to sell breakfast again, she was speechless.

"Why did they ask so many questions in the first place? They asked my aunt to come forward, and they came to sleep on the floor here with you, parents." Amelia Su said, "They also doubted our private secret recipe. It's only been a short time since we started, and they stopped doing it."

"Maybe they didn't do it well." said Su's mother.

"I don't think they can do it well, but they don't want to get up early." Amelia Su said, "To sell breakfast, of course you have to get up early. How can you not get up early? Selling breakfast means selling until about noon. You have to go back to rest in the afternoon and go to bed early at night."

Amelia Su arranged her time well. If she didn't rest well, she wouldn't have the energy to work.

"Dashan goes to buy fresh vegetables and meat every morning." Su Yamei said, "If he doesn't go early to buy, the buns can't be made. We have to decide how much we need every day, and the amount we need for the next day must be decided the day before. We have to tell them what kind we want, and we can't use bad things. Do they really think we can make money just by doing it casually? We also put our heart into it."

"Don't worry about them. They didn't make breakfast, so they don't need to bother you." Mother Su said, "Isn't this good?"

"Those who know understand that it is because they can't get up early, and those who don't know think that we deliberately hide something and don't teach them well, so that they can't make good things." Amelia Su said, "I told them a long time ago that we earn money through hard work. We can't make a fortune. It's good enough to have a meal. They don't believe it. They think we make a lot of money and they have to learn."

"They will know after they have done it themselves." Su's mother said, "Don't say these things in front of your aunt."

“I won’t say anything until my aunt comes to me. If she comes to me, I will still say something.” Amelia Su said, “What do you think I am?”

Amelia Su doesn’t like the Yu family, not at all.

"That's good. If they don't make breakfast, then there's no need to blame us." Amelia Su said, "You used to think I was lazy, but I think the Yu family is really lazy. They are obviously short of money and need to pay it back, but they are still dead pigs that are not afraid of boiling water and refuse to work."

"The same thing, don't bother with them." Su's mother said.

"When they ask you to borrow money, you should ignore them." Amelia Su said, "They only know how to trouble others all day long, and they don't know how to do things properly. Pay back the borrowed money as soon as possible."

Su's mother did not urge the Yu family to pay back the money. Aunt Su was Su's father's biological sister and Su's mother's sister-in-law. If Su's mother always urged others to pay back the money, it would make Su's father and Su's old lady unhappy. Anyway, they had already lent money to Aunt Su, so Su's father and Su's old lady would not be unhappy. They would only think that Aunt Su was not doing her job well.

On the morning of a new day, Xu Ruyun signed a contract with Yan Yichen. After signing the contract, Xu Ruyun took the contract back to Xu's house and told Xu's family that she wanted to open a factory with someone else.

"Are these shares yours?" Xu's mother took a look at the contract.

"Yes, it's mine." Xu Ruyun said, "They want to sign a contract with me and let me do the design. They can't use eldest brother's name, because I'm the one doing the work, not eldest brother." Xu Ruyun knew clearly that if she used eldest brother Xu's name or Xu's father's name, it would be difficult for her to get these shares back in the future, and there would be other troubles.

"They chose me," Xu Ruyun said, "They want to cooperate with me, not with the eldest brother or the second brother."

"Now that the factory is open, you can let your eldest brother go over to work." Xu's mother said, "Your second brother has a job during the day, so he's not in a hurry."

"Let big brother be an ordinary employee?" Xu Ruyun said, "I own very little shares, not much. They said that in the future, I can't be the only one designing, I have to find someone else to design. Giving me these shares now is already very good, there will be others in the future, and others don't have shares. After listening to him, I think it makes sense. If I don't agree now, it will be too difficult to find someone to pay for opening a factory in the future."

Xu Ruyun doesn't think about the big cakes painted by others. What's important is that she can get the money and get it in her hands. This is the most important thing. If she can't get it, it's all fake and useless.

Rebirth cannot make a person suddenly very smart. Xu Ruyun knew that her simple brain could not beat those people. Those people had money and connections, but she had no money and no connections. Taking too many shares would be too hot. Having 10% or 20% of the shares would be good enough.

People must know how to be content and not sigh too much. Xu Ruyun didn't know whether she could be reborn or not. What she knew was that she had to grasp this life and treat it as her last. She couldn't be complacent and think that she could be reborn.

"Why don't you give some shares to your elder brother and second brother?" said Xu's mother.

"Okay, you pay." Xu Ruyun said, "If the eldest brother and the second brother can pay, I will tell them that our family wants to pay and take more shares. I think he will agree, as long as you can pay. This money is used to buy land, build a factory, and pay wages to workers... If you can afford it, then pay."

"This...how much money will this cost?" Xu's mother sighed.

"It's not something that can be done with just a few hundred or a few thousand dollars." Xu Ruyun said, "Their family has connections, so they can do things better. We don't have money or connections, but they cooperate with us because they like my craftsmanship. Mom, don't be too greedy. If you are too greedy, others will not cooperate with us."

Xu Ruyun deliberately waited until the contract was signed before she told her family, "We previously went to find a factory to help produce headwear, but they were unwilling to pay us more. If we met a ruthless person, they would just copy our product and not give us a dime."

It is very difficult to succeed without a backer.

In her previous life, Xu Ruyun was a good housewife, but she also made some money, helped Liao Jiankai to find out some information, and played with the wives of other factory employees. Others said that Xu Ruyun was a good wife, but Liao Jiankai didn't care. He only knew that he worked outside and Xu Ruyun didn't make any money at home.

"I didn't want to tell you about this so early." Xu Ruyun said, "It's useless if the contract is signed but the factory hasn't been built yet. We can't force them to pick up the factory quickly. It takes time."

"Okay." Xu's mother said, "As long as we can make money, it's fine. If the factory is built, you still have to find someone to go to the factory to take a look, and there must be people in the factory. If you don't arrange for people, others will make money and tell you that they didn't make money."

"I know." Xu Ruyun said, "Let's wait until the factory is built. It hasn't been built yet."

Xu's mother didn't care whether the factory was built or not. She only knew that her daughter would become a big boss and her family would have a better life. In the future, they would buy a high-rise house and eat meat every day in different ways.

After Xu's mother said that, everyone in the alley knew that Xu Ruyun was going to open a factory with someone else.

When Su Xueqing came to see Old Lady Su, she heard people saying that Xu Ruyun was going to be very successful. They were all saying that it didn't matter that Xu Ruyun didn't marry Liao Jiankai, and Xu Ruyun had a better future.

Previously, those people said that Xu Ruyun must regret not marrying Liao Jiankai, and that Xu Ruyun must be crying quietly in private, but now, those people have changed their story. Some say that Xu Ruyun is going to be a big boss, and some say that the Xu family is so proud even though the factory has not even been built yet.

When Su Xueqing heard those words, she thought of the plot of the original novel. The plot of the male and female protagonists cooperating to open a factory shows that the male and female protagonists have met, but the two have not yet liked each other and have no deep love between men and women. Later, the male and female protagonists have been in contact for a long time and fall in love with each other.

"The Xu family has become powerful all of a sudden. Some people even asked if the factory wants to hire people." Su's mother brought out the cut apples.

"Why are you asking so early? Isn't the factory built yet?" Su Xueqing said.

"It hasn't been built yet, so ask first." Su's mother said, "Building a factory requires people, so ask early, otherwise you will miss the opportunity if you ask too late."

“……” Su Xueqing was silent.

"Eat an apple." said Mrs. Su.

The two little kids were already asleep. Old Mrs. Su and Su's mother let them stay in the small bed, which had guardrails so the children would not fall off the bed with a plop.

"It's a bit sour." Su Xueqing frowned as she ate.

"Your father bought it." Su's mother said, "He doesn't even choose the fruits carefully."

Su Xueqing ate a small piece and stopped eating. Fortunately, she didn't put the whole apple in her mouth, otherwise, she would have to bite the whole apple.

"Don't eat it anymore. Let your dad eat it." Su's mother said.

Old Mrs. Su didn't mind whether the apples were sour or not. When she was young, it was not easy for her to eat some fruit. The wild fruits on the mountain were all sour, and few were sweet.

In spring, there are many raspberries on the mountain. When the raspberries have not turned red and are not fully ripe, many people go to the mountain to pick raspberries. Basically, the raspberries are picked when they are slightly red. The raspberries that are slightly red but not completely red are sour and sweet, and the taste is pretty good. If they are too sour, people will not pick them. If they taste okay, they will be picked first. If you don't pick them, they will be picked by others.

Old Mrs. Su hasn't gone to the mountains to pick raspberries for many years. Living in the city, she seldom goes hiking to pick wild fruits.

"Dad, doesn't he frown when he eats?" Su Xueqing asked.

"It's okay, let him eat it." Mrs. Su said, "He bought it himself."

Su's mother told Su's father not to buy fruits casually, and to choose carefully when buying fruits, and told Su's father to buy the ones that he could taste. If he couldn't taste the taste, Su's father couldn't choose, then he shouldn't buy it. But Su's father had money in his hand, and he thought he would be able to pick delicious fruits this time, so he went to pick them.

Sometimes, the fruits are generally sweeter, and Su's father did not make a mistake. He thinks that he is good at picking fruits and can buy them again next time.

Mr. Su has no idea how many times he has failed to buy fruits, but he still likes to buy them and says that what he buys is cheap and not expensive.

"You have to eat the cut ones, otherwise they will oxidize." Su Xueqing looked at the cut apples on the table.

"Got it." Old Mrs. Su thought of the candy at home.

"What happened?" Su Xueqing was puzzled.

Old Mrs. Su took the apple to the kitchen, and she also found some rock sugar and other things. Su Xueqing followed her to the kitchen and saw that she wanted to make candied haws, but she replaced the apples with sugar. With sugar, the sourness of the apples was not obvious.

"Grandma, should I cut the apple?" Su Xueqing asked. An apple that big would be hard to chew if made into a flat candied haws. It would taste better if it was cut into smaller pieces.

"You don't have to cut it." Old Mrs. Su said, "You rarely cut it, so it's easy to cut your hand."

"Then I won't cut it. I'll just watch." Su Xueqing said.

Old Mrs. Su was in the kitchen, and Su's mother went to look after the child. One of Su's mother and Old Mrs. Su had to look after the child; the child could not be left unattended.

In the evening, when Su Xueqing returned home, she brought two strings of candied apples made by Old Mrs. Su.

Su Xueqing handed Ning Yanjing a bunch of candied apples, "Here."

"Where did it come from?" Ning Yanjing wondered. The two of them often went out for a walk and rarely saw anyone selling candied haws nearby. And those who sold candied haws didn't sell things like this.

"My grandma made it." Su Xueqing said, "It's all because of my dad. My dad always bought sour apples, which were not delicious. Grandma simply cut the big apples into small pieces and made them into candied apples. The taste is okay. I brought you a bunch to try. One bunch for each of us, and the taste is okay. In the past, a relative gave us hawthorns, which are very sour. Grandma made them into candied haws and also made them into jam."

"Grandma is a good cook." Ning Yanjing held the candied apples.

Su Xueqing had already eaten at the Su family. She had told Ning Yanjing earlier that she was going back to the Su family. Ning Yanjing was going to the Ning family tonight to have dinner and accompany Ning's father and mother. Ning Yanjing came back after dinner.

"When my parents were working and my third sister-in-law hadn't married my third brother yet, grandma cooked." Su Xueqing said, "After my third sister-in-law got married, she cooked and grandma helped."

Old Mrs. Su is old, and no one wants her to stay in the kitchen to cook all the time.

"It's a pity that Dad was working overtime today and didn't come back early." Su Xueqing said, "If Dad was here... it probably wouldn't be of any use. Mom has already told Dad that he still likes to buy some fruit for the family when he has money."

"Uncle values his family." Ning Yanjing said.

At this time, Yan Yichen went to the movies with Ning Jiaxuan, and Ning Jiaxuan had a good impression of Yan Yichen. Yan Yichen was not bad looking, and was considered a handsome man, with a good overall appearance and temperament, much better than the ugly guy Ning Jiaxuan had dated before.

Ning Jiaxuan looked at Yan Yichen several times while watching the movie. People really need to be compared. Compared with those blind date candidates, Yan Yichen is much better. Yan Yichen makes people feel very reliable, which is not comparable to those idiots.

"Everyone in our family likes you very much. We hope you will consider this engagement carefully." After the movie, Yan Yichen and Ning Jiaxuan took a walk on the road. Yan Yichen said, "You don't have to worry about whether I got married in the countryside. No. I am not married to anyone else. I am still single."
