Chapter 11: Itching, please tell me in advance
"It's impossible not to quarrel." Mother Xu said, "Wait, it's just the beginning now. Amelia Su's temper is not that good. It's so difficult to find a job now. Many educated youth who returned to the city couldn't find a job. Their family is not a very large family. It's not certain whether Amelia Su and her husband can find a job."
"..."Xu Ruyun wanted to see the Su family quarreling over the missing Wei Shanshan.
For a moment, Xu Ruyun felt that she was extremely despicable.
But that happened in the previous life, and Xu Ruyun had all kinds of reasons to let herself ignore that matter. Now, Amelia Su's daughter was not lost, and Xu Ruyun thought that maybe it was because she was reborn, the butterfly effect, the butterfly gently fluttered its wings, and the influence expanded little by little.
"You've reached the age to get married." Xu's mother said, "The boyfriend you mentioned before..."
"He is not my boyfriend. He and I are not suitable for each other." Xu Ruyun said hurriedly. After her rebirth, she did not go to look for her husband from her previous life, who is her current boyfriend, and her boyfriend did not come to find her either.
Xu Ruyun wondered why she hadn't noticed in her previous life that this boyfriend was always waiting for her to come over, and she had paid a lot. Others said that this boyfriend was honest and capable, haha, some people look honest on the surface, but they are not that good people.
"How can it be inappropriate? You have been dating for a long time." Xu's mother thought her daughter was just throwing a tantrum. "When you are in a relationship, sometimes there are small conflicts. Don't..."
"Mom, you see, he hasn't come to see me these days." Xu Ruyun said.
"He's working overtime. He wants to earn money to marry you. He..."
"No, he just cares about himself." Xu Ruyun gritted her teeth.
"I saw him yesterday and he said hello to me." Xu's mother didn't think this man was bad. "He has a stable job, he..."
"He's not the only one who has a job and can make money. I can also go to work and make money." Xu Ruyun said, "Mom, I don't want to rely on a man for the rest of my life."
"Don't we women rely on men?" Xu's mother said, "You..."
Xu's mother originally wanted to continue talking, but when she saw her daughter's impatient look, she felt helpless.
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say anything for now. Think about it carefully." Xu's mother said, "As a mother, I can coax you a little, but your significant other can't coax you all the time."
In the Su family, Amelia Su is the biological daughter of Su's father and mother. Old Mrs. Su asked Su's father to find a way, and Su's father could only find a way. And Su's father's idea is to let his son-in-law do the work. The son-in-law is strong, and it is easier for men to find work than women, and men can earn more money.
Father Su didn’t tell Amelia Su about this. It hasn’t been decided yet. He will talk about it when he asks people and gets a job.
There are many people in the family, and everyone needs to take a bath. Even if it is fast in summer, it still takes a lot of time. It is too troublesome to boil hot water.
Su Xueqing did not take a shower at home, but prepared to take a shower at school. Su Xueqing had already prepared some hot water and a kettle. It would take time for her to go from home to school, so it was more convenient to take a shower at school.
"Don't take your elder sister's words to heart." Old Mrs. Su took Su Xueqing to the room, and she took some food for Su Xueqing, "If you don't want to come back these days, just eat outside."
When Mrs. Su heard Amelia Su say those words at the dinner table, she was very unhappy. It would be fine if they just listened to it, but Amelia Su had to involve Amelia Su. Mrs. Su was very dissatisfied with Amelia Su's behavior. Amelia Su, as the eldest sister, was jealous of her younger sister.
"Grandma." Su Xueqing didn't expect that Old Lady Su would say that.
"It's hard to find a job. I told your father to think of a way, but..." Old Mrs. Su sighed, "If you want to buy a job..."
"After the reform and opening up, it's better not to buy jobs." Su Xueqing said, "Some factories have been sold after their management departments were removed. Once the factory is sold, it's not certain whether the subsequent boss will want them to continue working. If you really have that much money to buy a job, you might as well give it directly to your eldest sister."
In fact, Su Xueqing felt that what her mother said made sense. If it really didn't work, she could just set up a stall to sell food. As long as she could make a little money and support her family, that would be enough.
"You don't have to focus on those state-owned factories, you can also look at other factories." Su Xueqing said.
"I think so too, but would your elder sister agree?" said Old Mrs. Su.
“…” Amelia Su was silent, it was possible that Amelia Su was really unwilling.
Not to mention this era, even in Su Xueqing's previous life, many people thought that jobs in private companies were unstable, and they all wanted to find a job in a public institution to join the system. Everyone wanted to keep their job for life, rather than being fired after working for a few years.
"You don't have to worry about these things. If you say it, your eldest sister won't believe it. She will just think you are talking without any pain." Mrs. Su knows Amelia Su too well. Amelia Su now believes that everyone in the Su family owes her. "Your eldest sister also said that she could go to college without going to the countryside. She didn't even look at how bad her grades were at the time. Her grades were not as good as yours."
In front of Amelia Su, Mrs. Su didn’t say too much about these things. She thought she was still giving Amelia Su face, but Amelia Su liked to think highly of herself.
Amelia Su thought that if she stayed in the city, she would be fine. Su Yanan also stayed in the city. She had poor grades in junior high school, didn't like studying, and always liked to skip classes. She was just smarter and knew that she had to find a suitable partner as soon as possible.
Mrs. Su deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke, for fear that Amelia Su would hear it.
"You came back to listen to her say those nasty things." said Old Mrs. Su.
"Those things from the baking class are still edible, bring them back." Su Xueqing said.
"Well, that's fine. If you find it inconvenient, I'll go to the door of the training class to pick up the things." Old Mrs. Su didn't want to make Su Xueqing sad.
"It's okay." Su Xueqing shook her head. "It's just a short distance, not far. After delivering the things, I can go back to school earlier. The food in our school is cheap and delicious."
"Okay." said Mrs. Su.
After the Ning family had dinner, Ning Yanjing told his family that he wanted to pursue Ning Jiaxuan's roommate. Su Xueqing is already an adult. The age for getting a marriage certificate is 20 years old for women. It is normal to have a relationship and wait until the age to get a marriage certificate. Many people have held wedding banquets not long after graduating from junior high school, but they just haven't obtained a marriage certificate.
Of course, Ning Yanjing didn't think about holding a wedding banquet with Su Xueqing first. He admired Su Xueqing, so naturally he wanted to give his sweetheart the best things.
"Jiaxuan's friend?" Ning's mother was surprised. "She... that... she is not..."
"She's very good." Ning Yanjing said, "She's pretty, has a good temper, and is well-educated. She's a top student at Nancheng University."
Ning Yanjing knew that what Ning Jiaxuan said before could easily be misunderstood. If he did not pursue Su Xueqing, it didn't matter how his family misunderstood him. Besides, even if his family misunderstood him, they would not say anything bad about Su Xueqing in front of others, and would continue to let Ning Jiaxuan and Su Xueqing interact. They would think that Su Xueqing was someone who could be controlled as long as they were given some money.
Now, Ning Yanjing wants to pursue Amelia Su, so he naturally cannot let his family continue to misunderstand. Ning Jiaxuan was spoiled when she grew up, and sometimes she could easily be misunderstood whether she said anything or not. Not all the family members have seen Amelia Su, and even if they have seen her several times, they may not think much about it.
"She is indeed very beautiful." Ning's mother nodded.
Ning's mother had met Su Xueqing. Ning Jiaxuan had never brought Su Xueqing home, but her mother had met Su Xueqing when she went to South City University. Ning Jiaxuan did not bring anyone home casually, even though she liked Su Xueqing very much, but the family conditions of the two were quite different. She wanted to wait for a while, and if their friendship had not deteriorated, she could bring Su Xueqing home.
But before Ning Jiaxuan brought Su Xueqing home, Ning Yanjing had already fallen in love with Su Xueqing.
"I said my taste couldn't be bad." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Brother is indeed my biological brother, and his taste is as good as mine. I thought he was kind and wanted to care more about me, his sister, but who knew he would suddenly become smart and know how to pursue girls. Xueqing is even younger than me."
"You are my sister, a blood relationship. Your friend can be my sister who is not a blood relationship." Ning Yanjing said, "But your friend, Su Xueqing, if she wants to be my sister, she can only be..."
"She can only be my sweet sister." Ning Jiaxuan rolled her eyes.
"Don't you like her?" asked Ning's mother.
"No, no, no, I don't dislike her." Ning Jiaxuan said, "She is younger than me, it seems that she has just turned 18. The little brother is about six years older than her. There is a generation gap between three years old and six years old is like a Himalayas. They... can they get along well?"
Ning Jiaxuan found that her brother was staring at her, so she lowered her voice. Suddenly, she spoke louder, "Xueqing is my roommate and my good friend after all. I can't just watch her get hurt. If the brother feels that it is inappropriate, he can just clap his hands and leave. Xueqing has never been in love before, she will get hurt."
"She has never been in love?" Ning Yanjing's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, if she had been in love, would you not like her anymore?" Ning Jiaxuan asked.
"It's just that I met her too late." Ning Yanjing emphasized, "I have never been in a relationship either."
Ning Yanjing had never been in a relationship before, so he thought he could talk about it when his sister was talking to Su Xueqing.
"..." Ning Jiaxuan immediately understood what her brother meant.
"Since you and your sister both think it's a good idea, then it's fine." Ning's mother had no objection.
After experiencing the special times, Ning's mother was not so obsessed with her children's other half, and she did not have to match them with the same social status. Besides, as a top student of Nancheng University, this person must have a good brain. If this person really does not understand something, then we can teach him when the time comes.
Life is meant for couples, so there is no need to care too much about what others think.
"That's what you think, but Second Aunt doesn't." Ning Jiaxuan thought of her Second Aunt, who always wanted her children's partners to be awesome. She also liked to introduce them to potential partners. "She just treats us as tools. Mom, it's okay for little brother to pursue my friend, but you have to make it clear to Second Aunt and the others not to introduce him to anyone. People who don't know would think that little brother just treats my friend as a little lover and wants to keep her as a canary outside. Who would be willing to let their good daughter be someone else's mistress?"
Ning Jiaxuan is not a naive person who knows nothing. She knows that some people in their circle secretly keep women outside. They also say that making money is for enjoyment, and that men in ancient times had three wives and four concubines. Bullshit, they are not men in ancient times. They are just lowly and self-degrading. They just have to compare themselves with the so-called ancient people to make others think that they are already affectionate and loyal good men.
That's all a disguise and a form of mental oppression to make women their bootlickers.
"You can't bully someone just because she's poor." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I asked her to attend the training class with me, and I paid the registration fee. In such hot weather, the registration fee is not worth anything at all. She is just kind-hearted and is willing to accompany me. In fact, her family is not short of food, she..."
When Ning's mother heard her daughter say those words, she used to think that Su Xueqing was very good at coaxing people, but now, Ning's mother thought that Su Xueqing should be a very good person.
Children in the countryside tend to get lice when their hair grows long, but adults wash their hair more often and take care of it, so it's okay. But a child like Wei Shanshan obviously doesn't take care of her hair, and she just scratches it when her head itches.
"Lice, is this a louse?" When Su Sansao saw Su Yamei washing and combing Wei Shanshan's hair, she was sharp-eyed and saw a small louse. She was shocked. No wonder she always felt itchy on her head today. Maybe a louse had run into her hair.
