Chapter 87 A Group of Second Generations, Su Family News (Happy Holidays, My Darlings)
That day, Su Jiani and her friends had a great time. They went to the ice rink and met a new friend, Wang Qiming. Later, he learned that Su Jiani and her friends had just arrived in Beijing, so he enthusiastically took them to tour the Forbidden City.
Now the three of them made some new friends, and they made an appointment to climb the Great Wall together tomorrow.
It's winter now, and I don't know where they got the interest from, but Su Jiani and the others would not refuse.
After all, it's a new place, new friends. Besides, when she was in Shenzhen, she was devoted to practicing with her master and didn't even have a close friend around her.
Just like in her previous life, she did everything alone. Now that she has a new life, of course she will make more new friends.
When Su Zhongguo and Li Guixiang learned that the three of them were going to climb the Great Wall, they repeatedly told their two sons to keep an eye on their younger sister.
This happened all the time in their home, and Su Wen and Su Jie had calluses on their ears from hearing it.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I will take good care of my sister and won't let her suffer any grievances. You can just go about your business."
Su Wen held his mother's hand and repeatedly assured her, "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go."
On the third day in Beijing, his mother was just as busy as she was in Shenzhen, leaving early and returning late.
If he wasn't on vacation now, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see him.
Seeing his eldest son acting like this, Su Zhongguo immediately stepped forward and slapped him, "How dare you talk to your mother like that, you little brat? You deserve a beating, don't you?"
Su Wen immediately let go of his mother. He had no choice but to not fight back.
"snort."
Su Zhongguo ignored him and looked at his daughter, "Jia Ni, bring some money with you. It's not good to spend other people's money when you are out. It's okay for us to treat ourselves. Dad has money."
As he spoke, he took out a large wad of cash from his briefcase.
Judging from the quantity, there are at least two to three thousand yuan.
Now Huaguo has hundred-yuan bills, unlike before when they only used the Great Unity banknotes, which were difficult to carry in their wallets when they went out.
"Thank you, Dad." Su Jiani would never be polite to her own father.
Wasn't this the day she had urged her parents to grow up for? Now that her wish had come true, she naturally wouldn't shirk her responsibility.
"Okay, Dad and your mom still have something to do. Let's have a good family gathering when the Taoist priest comes in a few days." He touched his daughter's head and coaxed her softly.
After seeing their parents off, the three of them got ready and went out.
What they didn't expect was that when they arrived at the agreed place, there would be so many people waiting there.
"Brother Wang, Brother Ke, Brother Bi, Brother Ruan." The three people who knew each other called out in unison.
Those who don’t know them are waiting for them to introduce them.
"You're here. Come, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Ruan Dongxue. She's thirteen years old, younger than Su Wen, but the same age as Su Jie. You can call her whatever you like."
Ruan Daoyong came with some people, so naturally he introduced them to the three of them.
"And me, and me." Ke Boyang pulled his sister forward, "This is my sister, Ke Mengmeng, she's twelve years old. She knew we were going to climb the Great Wall today, so she came with me early in the morning to play."
The three of them called for help again.
Fortunately, this time she was accompanied by two girls, and Su Jiani was also willing to interact with others.
I just don't know what the temperaments of these two are.
Of course, if they can get along, then they can get along. If they can't, then they can forget about it. She is not the kind of person who would let herself be wronged.
Fortunately, both of them had good tempers, and the three girls soon became good friends.
"You said you would go to school in Beijing after the new year? Which school are you going to?" Ke Mengmeng is the most outgoing and has already started talking about their future.
Su Jiani thought about where her home was, then smiled and said, "Jiedaokou Primary School. What about you? Where do you go to school?"
Ruan Dongxue and Ke Mengmeng looked at each other and laughed. Ruan Dongxue said, "Haha, that's great. We will be in the same elementary school from now on. However, I'm in the sixth grade and will be going to junior high school in the second half of next year. Then we won't be able to go to the same school."
You can tell there is disappointment in her tone.
"It's okay, I'm also in the sixth grade and will go to junior high school in the second half of next year." Su Jiani looked at the fair and cute little girl with grievance in her eyes, and couldn't help telling her a good news.
"How is this possible?" Ke Mengmeng said in disbelief. "How old are you? How can you be the same age as us? How old were you when you started school?"
Could Su Jiani tell them that she skipped a grade because she felt the lower grades were too childish?
No, I can't say.
"Well, I go to school early."
But who would believe this? It's impossible for her to become like this no matter how early she is. She's only ten years old and in the sixth grade.
They chatted as they walked, and soon they entered the main Great City area.
I have to say that climbing the Great Wall in winter is not a wise choice. Not only is the wind and snow strong, but it is also very freezing.
"Well, why don't we go to another place to play? Look at my clothes, they're all frozen." Bi Qiufan was the first to stop. He really couldn't bear it anymore.
He can't compare with Wang Qiming and Ke Boyang. These two have been training since childhood, and he doesn't have such a good physique.
Seeing him stop, everyone formed a circle.
The oldest, Wang Qiming, exhaled mist and said, "Qiu Fan is right. It looks like it's going to snow again. Let's go back."
He didn't mind, he had trained in the middle of winter anyway, but there were three little girls.
"Then where are we going?" Ruan Daoyong covered his sister's face. Seeing that her eyelashes were frozen, he felt a little distressed. "Preferably somewhere warm."
Bi Qiufan looked at everyone, and then he suggested: "Why don't we go to the library? It's warm there."
But his proposal was rejected on the spot. Neither Wang Qiming, Ke Boyang nor Ruan Daoyong were interested in the library.
Naturally, Su Wen was not happy about it either. "Forget about the library. I'm afraid I'll walk in and fall asleep when I come out."
He felt sleepy when he saw the book.
He finally came to university and could graduate by working hard, so why would he do such a thankless job?
"In this case, I might as well go to the gym. At least there's something fun to do."
Su Wen's words made his younger brother Su Jie very unhappy. "What's wrong with the library? It's you who falls asleep as soon as you touch a book, brother. Humph, if you do this again, I'll go home and tell my parents."
My eldest brother is really embarrassing. Look at what he said.
The others were amused when they saw the two brothers quarreling over the library.
In the end, it was Su Jiani who spoke up, and the two of them stopped bickering.
"We don't know much about the capital. I wonder if my sister has any good suggestions?" She doesn't care about her stinky brothers. Brothers are not as good as her sisters.
Ruan Dongxue and Ke Mengmeng naturally had places they wanted to go. When they heard Jiani say this, they immediately agreed, "It's so cold, so of course we should go see a play and have some tea. Grandpa Hong's singing is really nice."
Su Jiani's eyes lit up. To be honest, she had never been exposed to these things in her two lives. She wanted to go.
Ke Mengmeng didn't care. She often followed her grandmother to teahouses of all sizes to listen to music and watch plays.
"Jiani, what do you think?" But she still asked Jiani.
"That's great. I've never seen a play, only movies." I watched the movie when I was in Shenzhen to make up for the regrets of my previous life.
After watching it, many dramas she had watched on TV in her previous life came to her mind.
I have to say, the special effects at this time were really bad.
It was also because of this that she asked her father and uncle Bai to invest in entertainment.
"Then it's settled. Let's go watch the show."
Ruan Dongxue was the happiest and walked back with Su Jiani and Ke Mengmeng.
What can six guys do?
Just spoil them, because they are your sisters.
Several people came to the most famous teahouse in Beijing, Dexinglou, which not only sells tea, but also allows customers to order dishes and tea snacks.
You can spend a whole day here with three or five friends.
But most of the people who come here are elderly people.
As soon as they came in, they looked down on the few acquaintances in the lobby.
"Grandpa Li, Grandpa Xu and the others are here. Brother, should we go over and say hello?" Ruan Dongxue had sharp eyes and saw several old men who were good friends with his grandfather as soon as he came in.
Ruan Daoyong looked at the people around him and shook his head. "No, let's go to the box first. I'll come back with you to greet the old men later."
Ruan Daoyong's family and Bi Qiufan's family are in the political field, while Wang Qiming and Ke Boyang's family are in the military field. Their circles are somewhat different.
These old men are well-known in the political field, but they are somewhat unfamiliar to the military.
It would be best to settle this place first before going.
Wang Qiming and Ke Boyang naturally understood this principle. Wang Qiming patted Ruan Daoyong on the shoulder and said, "Alright, we know the way. Those are our elders. It would be bad if we didn't greet them. You guys go over there and I'll take them up."
Hearing this, Ruan Daoyong looked at the three Su siblings with an apologetic look in his eyes, "Sorry, we will come up later."
Su Wen shook his hand. "Nothing, you guys are busy, Brother Wang and the others are here."
Hearing this, Ruan Daoyong and Bi Qiufan smiled, then led Ruan Dongxue away from the main group and went straight to the old men in the lobby.
Just as Su Jiani and others went upstairs, Ruan Dongxue and others arrived next to the old men in the middle of the lobby.
Su Jiani glanced down and saw that the three of them quickly started chatting with the old men.
These are the connections that outsiders like them cannot match.
However, there is no need to rush. She believes that her father and his friends will become one of the connections that others will be vying to make.
"Those old men are all retired. They made great contributions to the country when they were young. Now that they are old, they all want to rest and recuperate. So, they just like to drink."
Seeing that they were looking down, Wang Qiming helped to explain.
Although Su Wen loves martial arts, it doesn't mean that he is stupid. He naturally understands what Wang Qiming means.
"Yeah, it's a pretty good hobby. When my grandparents come over, I'll bring them over to play with it."
This is true. If he really has this plan, his grandparents will have to work hard all their lives and it's time for them to take a break.
After entering the box, Su Jiani soon found a menu in her hand.
But it was a little early for lunch, so she put it down and asked, "Are we having lunch now?"
Seeing her like this, Ke Mengmeng smiled and picked up the book, "This is not a menu, but a play script. We can order a play..."
As he said that, he opened it and introduced it to Su Jiani.
Su Jiani was stunned when she heard this, "You can still play like this."
"That's right, does Jiani have any favorites?"
She didn't understand the acting at all, nor did she pretend to understand. "I don't understand. Sister Mengmeng, which one do you like? Let's order."
Seeing her like this, Ke Mengmeng was so happy that her impression of her became even better.
"I'm fine with either. When it comes to watching a show, it has to be those old men down there. Why don't we just listen to what they say?"
Su Jiani has no objection to this.
"good."
A new play was about to begin. Regardless of her brothers, Su Jiani was dragged to the front of the stands by Ke Mengmeng, "Hurry up, the show is about to begin."
The babbling sound was very melodious and Su Jiani was fascinated by it in a short while.
"Do you know if that's a boy or a girl?" Ke Mengmeng's eyes rolled, and she immediately wanted to tease him.
"She's a woman, so pretty, with such a high-pitched voice, how could she be a man?"
Su Jiani answered without hesitation.
"Haha, you guessed wrong, that's a man."
The two little girls were guessing enthusiastically when they heard a noise coming from a table below.
"Where's the play I ordered? Why hasn't it been my turn yet, after several performances?"
A loud and sharp voice drowned out the singing on the stage.
Su Jiani felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. After looking for several times, she finally recognized the "noble" old lady.
Xu Qiuniang, her nominal grandmother.
Haha, it’s true that enemies meet in a narrow road. We can meet each other like this.
Seeing her making a fuss, a man dressed as a waiter walked over and said, "Please wait a moment, Madam Su. Can I check for you?" He was respectful and polite.
Since he could call out Xu Qiuniang's husband's surname, I guess he knew the Su family.
"Humph, what are you checking? Change it for me right now. Change it to what I ordered."
He looks like a scoundrel and doesn't seem to come from a noble family.
The waiter seemed to be used to it and did not agree immediately, but insisted on checking.
After a while, someone brought over the performance schedule.
After asking what play Xu Qiuniang had ordered, he smiled and said, "Madam Su, your play is scheduled for the last three performances. Why don't you go out for a walk first?"
Some noble people will do this: they will come to order a show first, and when they know that their own show will be later, they will go out for a walk, and then come back to watch the show they ordered.
Not all plays are popular.
"What? Do you want to drive me away?" Xu Qiuniang was a bit of a scoundrel when she was in the village, not to mention that now her Su family has achieved some success in the capital and is often flattered by others.
Of course she couldn't stand being humiliated like that, not to mention that she was going out with a lady from the Zhang family today, so she wanted to show off her status.
I don't want to lose face in front of Mrs. Zhang.
After recognizing Xu Qiuniang, Su Jiani withdrew her gaze, and then saw everyone coming to the stands.
Especially the disdain in their eyes made Su Jiani guess, "Sister Mengmeng, do you know that old lady?"
Ke Mengmeng didn't think much about it and immediately told what she knew.
"Yes, an unknown wealthy old lady who rose to prominence by relying on the power of the Zhang family really thinks that the capital belongs to her family."
These words were said by Wang Qiming, which shows how much he dislikes Xu Qiuniang.
"What do you mean?" Su Wen took over the conversation. There are some things that his sister shouldn't say too much about.
Not only did his sister recognize grandma, he recognized her too.
He still remembers the grudge between his family and his second uncle's cousin.
Now when we meet, we naturally have more words to say.
"What else can I say?" Wang Qiming retracted his gaze. "This old lady's husband's surname is Su. Everyone outside calls her Old Madam Su for the Zhang family's sake."
