Xiaoqi ran home.
I can't even look at the interface in front of me.
I didn't even bother to listen to the voice behind me.
After nearly three hours of driving, Su Xiaoqi met his old classmates again, which gave him a new understanding.
It is absolutely not allowed to casually show off your wealth without a proper reason.
These aunties and grandmas are sweet to my face and come to my house to sit down, but they start gossiping before they even take a few steps behind my back.
She didn't know what Zhang Juan was doing outside. Her spending seemed a bit exaggerated, but she had been to school outside and knew that there are always people better than you. It was no big deal that she could afford those things.
It’s just that Zhang Juan loves to show off too much.
And it is really difficult to keep smiling. The most she can do is smile politely, like Zhang Juan, who greets everyone with a sweet smile. Su Xiaoqi can't do that.
Even if Zhang Juan behaves like this, these aunties will still gossip about her.
So smiling and treating the world with kindness doesn't necessarily mean you'll be treated kindly in return. She couldn't be as good as Zhang Juan, but she could maintain her politeness. At least this time, the reward was much better than usual. Except for the driver Dayong calling her a college student, no one else teased her.
She gained enough from just a smile.
exactly.
When I got home, I saw my father at the door weaving a winnowing basket among a pile of bamboo strips, and my mother was doing the same. They were sitting side by side, not too close to each other, because if they were too close, the bamboo strips would hit others.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back." Xiaoqi shouted loudly.
This actually scared Su's father and mother.
"Why are you back? What happened? Why didn't you call in advance?" Father Su stood up nervously.
Mother Su also put down the half-made winnowing basket in her hand.
Xiao Qi walked into the living room, letting her mother see her more clearly, before speaking, "It's okay. I found a tutoring job and started yesterday. The parent is very satisfied with me and wants to introduce me to new students. I was worried that I would be too busy to go home later, so I came back today."
When she said this, both Su's father and mother breathed a sigh of relief.
But Mother Su immediately said, "You must be starving. I'll go make you something to eat. If you hadn't told me you were coming, we wouldn't have much to eat at home. Youfu, go to the grocery store and see if they have any chicken feet. Xiaoqi likes that. Buy one pound, or three. I'll braise it and have her take it to the city tomorrow. And bring some for her aunt too."
Mr. Su stood up and was about to go out, but was stopped by Xiaoqi.
"No need. My aunt knew I was coming back, so she asked me to bring a lot of delicious food. I brought extra because I was bringing it for Third Grandma."
Xiaoqi opened the bag and found duck and meat inside, with double portions of everything.
Su's father and mother were a little surprised.
"Why did you bring so many things this time?" Before, it was just some fruits, and Su's father and mother felt a little embarrassed to accept them. Their daughter had already eaten at her cousin's house, and she still wanted to bring things home.
"Well, it must have been given by a patient, and my aunt wanted to give it to Third Grandma, so she divided it into two portions."
As a result, after Xiaoqi said that, Su's father and mother said they didn't want any of it at all, and said they would just pack it into one copy and send it to the third grandmother.
Su Xiaoqi: ...It’s really hard for me...
"Aunt has already packed them. If you do it later, Third Grandma will misunderstand. Aunt has already bought them, so you can take them. When I am well off in the future, I will also be filial to Aunt. Don't be embarrassed." Su Xiaoqi made the decision.
This actually stunned Su's father and mother.
It's rare to see my daughter so generous and decisive. I feel relieved and sad at the same time.
My daughter is so good, she deserves better.
"Then Mom will make you something to eat to fill your stomach. Then I'll quickly send the food to your third grandma." Mother Su went to the kitchen to wash the pots and vegetables.
Father Su made a fire.
Mother Su fried the leftover rice from lunch, added eggs, and cooked a bowl of vegetable soup.
My mother’s cooking skills are much better than my aunt’s. Xiaoqi has been exercising a lot recently, so he ate the whole pot and drank up the soup.
He wiped his mouth, rinsed it, and then stood up to pick up his things.
"I just picked up something very heavy. Should I ask your dad to deliver it with you?" said Mother Su.
"No need, I can carry it. I carried it all the way back." Su Xiaoqi didn't say much and just picked it up and left.
Third Grandma's house was in the middle of the village. Xiao Qi walked over quickly and saw Third Grandma. She looked healthy and was helping her daughter-in-law take care of her grandson. She put down her things and left without staying for long. She just said that they were given by her aunt.
Third Grandma was a little surprised. She knew her own daughter well. She was always stubborn and didn't want to come back after the divorce. How could she remember to buy her food?
I'll call my daughter later to ask about it. She should be at work now.
Xiaoqi liked Third Grandma very much. She was in good health and had a happy smile on her face, which gave people a good impression. However, if he stayed any longer, he would have to lie, so he just left.
When I got home, I saw Dad helping Mom prepare the ingredients. He went to the grocery store to buy chicken feet, and Dad was cutting the little nails on the chicken feet.
When Xiaoqi saw that her parents were wearing the slippers she bought, a big smile appeared on her face.
"Mom, why aren't you wearing the clothes I bought for you?"
"Such good material, it would be a waste to wear it while working. At the end of the month, your eldest cousin from your uncle's family is getting married, and you will have to attend a banquet there, so you can wear it then." Mother Su said with a smile.
Xiaoqi took out the things he bought for his father from his schoolbag.
Mr. Su looked at the things in front of him and was stunned for a long time.
"Did the woman buy it for me?"
His hands were shaking a little as he held the scissors.
Afraid that the scissors would damage the new clothes, he quickly put them down.
I washed my hands again before I dared to touch the clothes.
When he saw the leather shoes, Su's father's face froze a little, from surprise to ugliness.
"Where did you get so much money? Don't lie to your dad. These shoes are not cheap. They are made of leather."
"Dad, what are you thinking? Even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare do anything bad. The parent of the tutoring job I have is very nice. She pays me one hundred yuan an hour, and I got two hundred yuan for two hours. She also introduced a few students to me, and some of them paid deposits. In total, I received more than eight hundred yuan. I just wanted to buy you something."
Su Xiaoqi sighed inwardly. One lie was destined to be covered up with countless lies. Lying was really too hard.
"Is the parent a man or a woman?" Dad Su couldn't help but ask. They had been through a lot and heard good and bad things. They absolutely didn't want their children to go astray for a little thing.
"My student is a girl in the second grade of junior high school. Her parents are divorced and she lives with her mother. There are only her and her mother at home." This is not a lie. Su Xiaoqi said it much more smoothly.
"Then you have to teach her well. It's not easy for an orphan and a widow." Just after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but scold her for spending money indiscriminately. The tuition fee was about to be paid, and if she didn't save it, she couldn't buy it next time, otherwise he wouldn't wear it even if she bought it.
But he still touched the clothes, pants and shoes again and again and asked if he could return them.
The earrings that Xiaoqi gave her mother could only be described as gold-plated. They were bought from a small shop for a few dozen dollars. She knew that even if she said so, her mother would still cherish them.
Mother Su put it on immediately, touched it left and right, and was very happy.
In the evening, Mr. Su took a special shower, changed into all his clothes, even his pants, which fit him perfectly, and put on leather shoes. He seemed to have suddenly become seven or eight years younger.
He had a smug smile on his face and wanted to wear it out to show off immediately, but he looked at himself in the mirror for a while, then changed his clothes, pants and shoes back on.
Wear your usual clothes.
"Dad, why don't you wear it? Don't you think it looks good? You can exchange it if the size is wrong, but you can't return it."
Xiaoqi cut off the tag, but didn't throw it away and kept it.
"Why would I wear something so nice on a normal day? Your mom said your eldest cousin is getting married at the end of the month and we'll be having a banquet, so I'm wearing this."
After changing his clothes, Dad Su went to the living room to make a dustpan.
Xiaoqi also sat in the living room. She also had an additional card for bamboo weaving skills, and this time she came mainly to use it for her father.
"Appoint Su Youfu to use the Bamboo Weaving Skill Platinum Supplementary Card. Su Youfu's Bamboo Weaving Skill is Basic Level+, and will reach Expertise Level+ after using the Skill Card."
