Chapter 164 Chapter 164 Today's update
Seeing Shen Moer easily carrying several large bags and throwing them into the tricycle, the expressions of everyone in the Su family were a little frozen for a moment.
Su Jingnian couldn't help but say, "Mo'er is quite strong."
Shen Shaoyuan didn't care: "So she's very strong? You haven't seen her knock down three or four strong men with ease." His eyes swept over Yang Le and Yang Qian, brother and sister.
The brother and sister shrank their heads and thought carefully. Apart from some impolite looks in their eyes, they had never provoked Shen Moer.
Su Jingnian opened his mouth and finally sighed: "Is it because of years of farm work? Oh, you have suffered so much." As he spoke, his eyes became red.
Shen Shaoyuan: “…”
Not really, it was mainly caused by fighting with the Imperial Guards.
Chen Moer threw a few bags onto the tricycle, and Xiao Liangliang was about to climb onto the tricycle using his short legs. Su Jingnian felt distressed when he saw her: the child really had never had a good life. At such a young age, he already knew how to be self-reliant.
He hurried over and picked up the little guy: "Let's go in the car with uncle."
Seeing the little guy hesitate, he quickly said, "Uncle has delicious candies in the car."
The little guy looked at the tricycle, and made a difficult decision between following his mother and his uncle's candy. Finally, he nodded in embarrassment and chose the candy.
After all, her mother often takes her on a tricycle, but her uncle doesn't often do that.
Su Jingnian felt relieved at once, and lovingly carried the child in his arms as he went to get in the car.
"Where are you moving to? Make sure it's not so big that cars can't drive in." Yang Qian stared at the little kid who was eating candy in Su Jingnian's arms for a while, and couldn't help but sneered.
Su Jingnian frowned and looked at her, then said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to go, go back to the hotel."
It's not that he didn't see the flirting and fighting between the younger generations, but he thought that Mo'er didn't have a good relationship with the cousins of the Shen family. If she could get closer to these younger generations in her family, she would have more close peers.
Yang Qian paused for a moment, then looked aggrieved: "Uncle, I just said it casually..."
Looking at Yang Tong for help, Yang Tong frowned: "Qianqian, pay attention to your manners."
Yang Le tried to smooth things over: "Aunt and uncle, Qianqian just spoke without thinking, she didn't mean anything else."
Little Liangliang, who was nestled in Su Jingnian's arms, tilted her head up: "Huh, my car is big, it can be as big as it can be!" She opened her little hands and made a big, big gesture, "Grandpa, drive the car, Grandpa Wang, drive the car, Mom, drive the car, all drive!"
She glared at Yang Qian angrily and pouted her lips.
Su Jingnian was immediately amused by her cute appearance: "Our Liangliang is right, our Liangliang's house is the best and biggest, everyone's car can drive in."
Yang Qian curled her lips, thinking that the little brat was really good at boasting, and she no longer dared to show any contempt on her face.
Chen Moer and her friends rode two tricycles behind, while Su Jingnian and his friends arrived at Yongning Hutong first. They drove around in the alley for a while, and finally found the place by following the direction pointed by Xiao Liangliang.
Su Jingnian was suddenly surprised again: "Our little Liangliang is really smart."
Yang Qian muttered to Yang Le: "Just pointing the way."
Yang Le wanted to ask why you were arguing with a little kid, but when he saw that Su Jingnian's heart and eyes were full of little kid, he pursed his lips.
But soon the two of them no longer had the heart to think about these trivial things.
I saw Xiao Liangliang walked to a courtyard with a pair of stone lions in front of the gate, and knocked on the gate covered with copper nails. The gate then rang with a ding-dong ding-dong sound. Xiao Liangliang shouted in the music: "Open the door quickly, it's me, Liangliang is here!"
After saying that, he looked up and showed off to his uncle: "This is the doorbell my father made!"
Su Jingnian had noticed that there was a button under the gate where the child could reach it, and said with a smile, "Then your father is quite awesome." The key is the thoughtfulness towards the child.
Soon, a voice responded from inside the door: "Hey, our little Liangliang is back, grandma is here."
Yin Xiuwen opened the door and saw a group of strangers standing at the door. She was startled for a moment and subconsciously hugged her eldest granddaughter who was clinging to the threshold, and looked at them vigilantly.
Xiao Liangliang struggled and said, "Grandma, uncle, aunt, and aunt Tingting!"
Su Hao, Yang Le, and Yang Qian, who still had no names: "..."
Yin Xiuwen reacted: "Oh, it's my uncle and aunt, please come in!"
She made way for him. "I heard Moer say that she would invite you after she had finished cleaning up. I thought you would come in the afternoon. But it's just right. Actually, the house is almost cleaned up. It's just right for us to have a simple meal together at noon."
Su Jingnian and others followed him inside. The courtyard was very large and had obviously just been renovated. Everything was neat and new, with lush flowers and trees, and windows and carved railings. It was very elegant and simple.
"The house was renovated by Mo'er's father himself. It was done very well. My old man and old lady loved it very much. They both said that they would renovate their house in the same way in the future."
Yin Xiuwen held Xiao Liangliang in her arms as she walked and said, "Our courtyard is at the other end of the alley, and the structure is similar to the house here. They lived in that small courtyard earlier because they wanted to be close to the school. Now that they all live in the same alley, it's convenient for our grandfather and grandmother to see Xiao Liangliang."
Little Liangliang had already complained to her grandmother. Yin Xiuwen glanced at the Yang brothers and sisters from the corner of her eyes and casually showed off: "Our Fu family's ancestors had prime ministers and imperial merchants. After the establishment of New China, most of the family property was donated. But with what is left, our little Liangliang will have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life."
She sighed and said sadly, "But I see that Mo'er is so capable, she will probably make a lot of money in the future. I'm afraid she won't be interested in the things that we, as the elders, leave for Xiao Liangliang."
Su Jingnian: "...It's a good thing that the child is capable."
Of course he understood what this meant. The Fu family is wealthy, Moer is capable, and Xiao Liangliang has a lot of family property to inherit, so they don't care about the Su family's things at all.
After just one encounter, the other person saw through these good-for-nothings in his family, and Su Jingnian was immediately embarrassed.
Su Hao and the Yang brothers and sisters all looked a little unhappy, but Su Ting smiled and responded, "My dad bought a manor for Liangliang in Beautiful Country and raised several ponies. These little Liangliang will definitely like them."
Yin Xiuwen looked at her deeply and laughed, "You are so thoughtful, of course Liangliang will like it."
When Shen Moer came back on her tricycle, Su Hao, Yang Le and Yang Qian looked at her with complicated expressions.
She was clearly moving into a "luxury house", but why were the moving tools so "plain and simple"? Otherwise, they would not have misunderstood that she was moving to some remote corner.
At night, Shen Moer invited relatives, friends, and neighbors to a banquet. Su Jingnian sat at the same table with a group of old men and women, listening to them talk about some things in the past. After a little thought, Su Jingnian realized that these neighbors of his niece were actually extraordinary.
They have all participated in wars or held high positions.
When the old men and women heard about Su Jingnian's experience, they also sighed and lamented that he was lucky and had a good life, otherwise he would not have been able to live safely until now and successfully recognize Shen Moer as his relative.
One of the gray-haired old ladies suddenly sighed and said, "All of us who can sit here must be lucky. Take me for example. There was a big fire in our old house that year. The whole alley was almost burned down. My brother was naughty and ran out to play that night. My family searched outside all night, and that’s how we escaped."
An old man nearby sighed, "I know about this fire. Many people were killed, and some of them couldn't even be identified! Old Lin, your family was lucky to escape."
Old Madam Lin nodded and whispered, "My mother consulted a fortune teller and he said that we were originally recorded in the Book of Life and Death and we were lucky to escape. So we all changed our names. It is said that this will fool the ghost catcher and he will not take us away again."
After she said that, she chuckled twice.
As soon as the situation was relaxed in the past two years, various suppressed "feudal superstitions" immediately revived.
In the past, Mrs. Lin would definitely not tell anyone about such a name change due to feudal superstition. However, the situation has changed now and it would be okay to talk about it behind people's back occasionally.
Su Jingnian, who was chatting with the old man of the Fu family, felt as if he had heard something very familiar. He apologized and turned to look at the old lady Lin who was speaking.
He recalled that they seemed to have talked about a big fire, and the whole family changed their names... He couldn't help but ask Mrs. Lin: "Excuse me, are you talking about... that fire?"
He told me a time and a place.
Mrs. Lin was surprised and asked, “Have you, who have fled abroad, heard about this fire?”
Su Jingnian's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly denied: "That's not the case. It's just that a friend of mine is looking for someone, and the old friend he wants to find lives in that area. I wonder if you know him."
Mrs. Lin was curious: "Oh, what's his name? There are a lot of people in our area, but I know a lot of our neighbors."
Su Jingnian then said, "It's a female comrade named Lin Yufei, the "yu" in jade and the "fei" in jadeite."
Old Madam Lin was stunned for a moment: "Lin Yufei, you said your friend is looking for Lin Yufei?!"
Su Jingnian nodded: "Yes."
Seeing that Mrs. Lin looked a little unhappy, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know Lin Yufei?"
Old Madam Lin had a complicated expression on her face: "My name used to be Lin Yufei."
