Chapter 120 Special Shanshan's Dowry
"Why am I arguing with her?" Amelia Su said, "I..."
When Amelia Su thought of Wei Shanshan's strength, her temper weakened a lot.
In the past, Wei Shanshan was weak in front of Amelia Su. Since Wei Shanshan started working and moved her household registration, Wei Shanshan really didn't give Amelia Su face. Amelia Su also knew what kind of temper Wei Shanshan had. If they really quarreled, Wei Shanshan could directly lock her out of the door.
Amelia Su felt very intuitively that Wei Shanshan had grown up and was no longer a child.
"In a few days, she will bring her partner back." Amelia Su said, "I told her that she must give a betrothal gift. It won't work without a betrothal gift."
When Amelia Su learned that Wei Shanshan was going to bring her boyfriend back, she couldn't stop him. Wei Shanshan was Amelia Su's biological daughter, so when it came to marriage, Amelia Su had to step in. Amelia Su couldn't control that, and she couldn't control it.
Amelia Su went to find Su's mother and asked her mother to watch more. Amelia Su and Su Xueqing didn't get along well. If Amelia Su saw Amelia Su, she might get angry, and it would be even more difficult to deal with.
"I hadn't thought of introducing a date to Shanshan, but someone happened to ask, so I told Shanshan to let her decide for herself." Su Xueqing said, "Shanshan thought the guy was okay, so they started dating. I didn't tell my eldest sister about this in advance, and let Shanshan decide for herself."
"It's time for Shanshan to decide for herself." Mother Su did not say that Su Xueqing did anything wrong. "Don't worry, I'll go and see when the time comes."
Su Xueqing has done enough for Wei Shanshan, and Su's mother shouldn't let Su Xueqing worry about the remaining matters.
"Mom, remember to keep a closer eye on her." Su Xueqing said, "Don't just think that I introduced her..."
Amelia Su was worried that Amelia Su would be unhappy, and was afraid that Amelia Su would take the opportunity to embarrass Wei Shanshan. It didn’t matter if it embarrassed the man, because if a man wanted to marry, he always had to go through some thresholds.
"Don't worry." Su's mother said, "As long as he is a good one and Shanshan likes him, let them be together."
"It's still up to them to decide." Su Xueqing said, "If Shanshan wants to get the marriage certificate, she has to wait until next year. She's not old enough yet, so she can wait and see."
Amelia Su said a few words to Su's mother, and then she went back. Amelia Su did not go to Amelia Su. She said that if she talked too much, it would easily disgust Amelia Su. Wei Shanshan was not close to her biological mother, but close to her aunt, and Amelia Su would indeed be unhappy.
When Amelia Su saw Amelia Su get in the car and leave, she walked to Su's house. Amelia Su just stopped and did not go to Su's mother. After waiting for a while, she saw Amelia Su coming out.
Amelia Su went to Su's mother's place. She took a look at the things on the table. When Amelia Su came, she basically brought big and small bags of things.
"Mom, Xueqing is here to see you again." Amelia Su said.
"Shanshan is bringing her boyfriend back." Su's mother said, "You didn't even tell me."
"Hasn't she brought him back yet? When Shanshan brings him back, won't we know?" Amelia Su said, "If I hadn't heard from others that Shanshan was dating someone, I would have gone to find Shanshan, but Shanshan wouldn't have brought him back."
"How can we not bring the person back? It's just a matter of time." Su's mother said.
"The person my younger sister introduced to her." Amelia Su said, "She trusts her aunt very much. The person her aunt introduced is good."
"Don't be so sarcastic." Su's mother said, "Someone asked about Shanshan, so your little sister introduced her to me."
"The person my younger sister introduced to me..."
“Not bad.” Mother Su was afraid that Amelia Su would say something unpleasant, “Shanshan’s conditions are there. If your little sister wants to introduce her to someone better, it depends on whether others like her.”
“If the person my younger sister introduced to her doesn’t live a good life in the future, don’t blame me as a mother for not introducing her to a good person.” Amelia Su said.
"No one is saying anything bad about you." Su's mother said, "When Shanshan brings her boyfriend back, you...you shouldn't be too harsh."
"Just wait for her to bring the person back." Amelia Su said.
After returning home, Su Xueqing told Ning Yanjing that Wei Shanshan was going to bring her boyfriend to meet Su Yamei and her husband. The two talked about it in the bedroom.
"At first, I didn't plan to introduce Shanshan to someone." Su Xueqing said, "Matchmaking is not easy. If Shanshan doesn't live well in the future, she will probably blame me. But... I just happened to meet the right one, so I have to ask her. I can't just reject her directly."
Amelia Su didn't think Ning Jiaxuan was wrong to introduce Wei Shanshan to someone. Introducing someone required the person's consent. If the person didn't agree, they couldn't do anything more.
"She agreed to it herself." Ning Yanjing said, "When I first met you, didn't I ask Jiaxuan to act as a matchmaker?"
"Well, Jiaxuan said it depends on my own thoughts. It doesn't have to be because of her or because you are a member of the Ning family. So I nodded." Su Xueqing said.
Su Xueqing recalled the past, when she was more difficult than Ding Ming, and Ning Jiaxuan and his sister came over. Ning Yanjing also helped Su Xueqing, he looked good and had good financial conditions, so Su Xueqing agreed.
"In fact, when it comes to blind dates, how many people don't look at the other party's conditions?" Su Xueqing said, "Blind dates are originally meetings between strangers. They don't know each other well, so material conditions have to be considered even more. Your biggest advantage at the time was that you were rich."
"It's good to have advantages, but I'm afraid of not having them." Ning Yanjing said.
"That's what you think." Su Xueqing leaned in Ning Yanjing's arms, "If it were someone else, they might think I was snobbish. At that time, I was playing with Jiaxuan, and others thought I was after Jiaxuan's money. They were right, I was indeed after what Jiaxuan had, and I would take it if Jiaxuan gave it to me."
At that time, our family was in a difficult situation. We had little food to eat. When we ate an egg, we had to think about how to eat it. Should we steam it or make egg drop soup? If we fried it, the portion was too small and it wouldn’t be tasty for so many people. When we bought meat, we only bought a little bit. Lard residue was a precious commodity.
If she had recovered her past life memories earlier, Su Xueqing thought she might not be able to hold on, and she would feel that life was too hard. Su Xueqing did not recover her past life memories earlier, but waited until college to recover her past life memories. She was glad that she had survived the painful days, as long as she went to college, everything would become better.
When she was a child, Su Xueqing had also had some dreams in which there were all kinds of delicious food. Su Xueqing did not think that it was the memory of her previous life, but only thought that she was too short of food, so she had such a dream.
"I dreamed of a big cake. I wanted to take a bite, but the cake became hard and broke my teeth." Su Xueqing said, "Then, I worried about my teeth in my dream."
"Didn't you get to eat the cake?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"No." Su Xueqing said, "In the dream, I told myself that this was a dream and I wanted to control the dream, but I just couldn't control it."
Su Xueqing tried many times in her dreams. She had many similar dreams, but in the end, she failed to eat the cake.
"Now I can eat it in reality." Su Xueqing said, "I rarely have such dreams anymore."
"Let's go eat whatever you want." Ning Yanjing said.
"I've eaten a lot since I was with you." Su Xueqing said, "Wait until Shanshan brings her boyfriend back and see what the situation is. I wonder what my elder sister will think."
Amelia Su was afraid that Amelia Su would not want to accept the marriage because of her.
"Don't worry too much. Didn't you go to see mom?" Ning Yanjing said, "Mom cares about my elder sister so much, she will definitely go to see her."
Su's mother didn't want the relationship between Amelia Su and Wei Shanshan to become too strained, so she would definitely intervene. Su's mother always said to mind her own business, but if something really happened, she couldn't help but intervene.
"Just wait." Su Xueqing said.
A few days later, Wei Shanshan brought Ke Baoquan to the house, and Ke Baoquan brought a lot of things. Ke Baoquan knew the etiquette, even though he already knew that Wei Shanshan and Amelia Su did not have a good relationship, but the etiquette should not be less.
Amelia Su saw that Ke Baoquan brought a lot of things, and those things were not all very cheap, so she felt a little relieved. Also, the person that Su Xueqing introduced to Wei Shanshan must not have too bad financial conditions.
"Hello, aunt." Ke Baoquan was a little reserved. This was the first time he met Wei Shanshan's parents.
Ke Baoquan was worried that Wei Shanshan's parents were dissatisfied with him and afraid that these people would have something to say.
"Sit down, sit down first." Wei Dashan said.
When Wei Dashan spoke, he also glanced at Amelia Su, fearing that Amelia Su would be unhappy.
“Sit down.” Amelia Su said.
Su's mother didn't rush over, but waited a while. She had to wait for Amelia Su to meet her future son-in-law first and let Amelia Su ask questions first. If Su's mother went over early, it would only make Amelia Su unhappy. Once Amelia Su was unhappy, things would be difficult to handle.
Amelia Su didn't make things too difficult for Ke Baoquan, but as she spoke, Amelia Su said, "You have to give a betrothal gift. We have to keep a part of the betrothal gift. When Yaozu gets married, you sisters and brothers-in-law have to help."
The most important thing is to let Wei Shanshan help Wei Yaozu, and Amelia Su puts Wei Yaozu first. Amelia Su thinks that if Ke Baoquan disagrees, then she will not agree to this marriage.
"Okay." Ke Baoquan said.
Wei Shanshan had already told Ke Baoquan that her mother would definitely ask them to help Wei Yaozu in the future, and she asked Ke Baoquan to just agree verbally. Anyway, in the future, whether Wei Yaozu needed help or not, and how to help him, wouldn't it be up to Wei Shanshan and the others to decide, and they could just not help Wei Yaozu.
Now, for the sake of everyone else's face, I still have to nod.
When Su's mother came over to Amelia Su, Ke Baoquan and Wei Shanshan were about to get up.
"Grandma." Wei Shanshan saw Su's mother and said with a smile, "Grandma, we are just about to go over to see you."
Wei Shanshan did not forget about Su's father, Su's mother and others, and she did not plan to eat at Amelia Su's place. If the two of them ate here, Amelia Su would have to nag about Wei Yaozu, and Wei Yaozu did not have a good face for them. Wei Yaozu looked high and mighty, and Wei Shanshan felt disgusted when she saw Wei Yaozu.
"Come over. I've asked your aunt to cook and I'm waiting for you to come over and eat." Su's mother said.
Su's mother was afraid that Amelia Su hadn't prepared those things, so she asked Su San's wife to prepare them. If Amelia Su had prepared them, it would be okay for Su's mother and others to eat them by themselves.
"Yamei, you all come over and eat too." said Su's mother.
“Mom, are you ready?” Amelia Su asked.
"Your dad and his family are all home today, so it's a good opportunity for us to have dinner together." Su's mother said, "Your dad has long wanted to see Shanshan's boyfriend."
Su's mother said this to give Amelia Su a way out. Amelia Su nodded, "Then let's go."
When Ke Baoquan came, he bought a lot of things, some of which were for Su's father and mother. Ke Baoquan borrowed a car from someone to come here, because it would be much more convenient to have a car, and he could carry a lot of things. Ke Baoquan's family was relatively wealthy and had plenty of money.
Arriving at the Su family, Amelia Su didn't say much, to avoid her mother from scolding her, so she might as well let her mother ask about the situation. Mother Su didn't ask too many questions, she knew that Amelia Su had asked, and Su Xueqing had asked someone to inquire, so there was no need for her as a grandmother to ask too much.
Mrs. Su San specially cooked a fish, which was done according to the instructions of Su's mother. When the children in the family bring their partners back and the elders agree, they have to cook more dishes, and there are some rules for cooking.
This time, Amelia Su did not make a fuss. She thought that as long as she could get the betrothal gift, that would be enough. Wei Shanshan's household registration had been moved out, and Amelia Su could not control Wei Shanshan. If Wei Shanshan directly got married with someone and did not give a penny of betrothal gift, Amelia Su would not have the slightest way to deal with it.
Amelia Su was still thinking that when Wei Shanshan got married and was unhappy in the future, she would know that Amelia Su was not that good. Amelia Su, as a mother, did not want her daughter to be happy in the future, and she was still thinking about the difficulties her daughter would encounter in the future.
Wei Shanshan felt that her mother was too quiet, and she was most likely thinking about something else in her heart. Wei Shanshan thought that as long as her mother didn't make trouble, things could get by, that would be fine. Wei Shanshan didn't have much hope for Amelia Su, and her biological mother wasn't a very good person.
Before Wei Shanshan and Ke Baoquan got engaged, Yu Xiuxiu became pregnant.
Yu Xiuxiu was pregnant. Her husband knew about her previous affairs, so he didn't say much. Yu Xiuxiu was pregnant. Su Xueqing and others didn't know it at first. It was someone from the Yu family who told them.
"I thought they were going to pay back the money to my parents, but in the end, they didn't." Su Yanan sat at the door of the grocery store, holding a fan in her hand, "They owed money for so many years, and they didn't pay it back. Now they say Yu Xiuxiu is pregnant, I think they are waiting for others to give them red envelopes, saying that they are going to hold a wedding banquet."
"Hold a wedding banquet?" Su Xueqing was surprised. "It didn't happen last year, but they are going to hold it again this year? They have already received the red envelopes given last year. Do they want others to give them red envelopes again?"
"Most likely." Su Yanan said, "If they hold a wedding banquet again, some relatives will probably not go. Last time, the banquet broke up before it even started. People gave red envelopes and sat down, but they didn't eat the banquet. This time, even if Yu Xiuxiu really got married and had a child, who would be willing to go?"
"I'm not going." Su Xueqing said, "I didn't go last time, and it's even more impossible for me to go this time."
"It's impossible that they don't know anything about Yu Xiuxiu's in-laws. They are all in South City. If you ask around, you can find out everything." Su Yanan said, "Although Yu Xiuxiu is getting married for the first time, but... I don't plan to go there, and I won't give them a red envelope. Where would I get so much money to give them a red envelope?"
Su Yanan didn't want to give Yu Xiuxiu a red envelope at all. When Tian Guohua fainted and was hospitalized, Yu Guochao and his wife didn't even come to see him, not to mention the red envelope. Yu Guochao and his people just treated the Su family as ATMs, and didn't treat them as relatives at all.
"Then we won't go." Su Xueqing said, "I gave you a red envelope last year, so that counts."
"It's not that we are short of money, but they are really too much." Su Yanan said, "Yu Guochao's wife pushed my sister-in-law down, and she also said that you didn't lend them money. They are so greedy and asked to borrow so much money right away. They have the nerve to do so. Anyway, we won't go, and my parents won't say anything to us."
"Don't go, don't go." Su Xueqing said the same thing, "If you go, you will be asking for trouble. It's not like you need a meal."
"Yeah." Su Yanan nodded, "Shanshan is getting engaged, right?"
"Yes." Su Xueqing said, "The details still depend on the arrangements of my eldest sister. Shanshan is my eldest sister's biological daughter. It's not my turn to worry so much."
"Let them do it." Su Yanan said, "You have helped Shanshan enough."
Tian Caixia now works in a cake shop. Some cake shops do not make cakes, but the headquarters sends the finished cakes to them. However, the cake shop where Tian Caixia works still needs their employees to make cakes. After Tian Caixia graduated from a technical school, she had good baking skills, so she worked in a cake shop first.
If Tian Caixia opened her own store, she would need equipment and a huge investment. Even after the investment, she might not be able to get her money back. Tian Caixia could learn more and save some money by working in the store.
Su Yanan and his wife were very satisfied with Tian Caixia's work. If Tian Caixia wanted to find another job in the future, it was fine, and they would not stop her. Girls would get married sooner or later. If the job was not good, she would find a man to marry and would not have to worry about too many things.
Wei Shanshan's engagement party was scheduled for early September in a hotel. Wei Shanshan had to wait until next year to get her marriage certificate with Ke Baoquan, so they got engaged first. There weren't many tables at the engagement party, just very close relatives from both sides.
The man had already agreed with Amelia Su on how to give the betrothal gift. Amelia Su learned that the man wanted to divide the betrothal gift into two parts. If she could keep the part given to her, she would have no objection. If Amelia Su could not stay, Amelia Su would definitely have something to say. Even so, Amelia Su was still not very satisfied. She felt that Wei Shanshan took too much, but the man's family said that it was good for Wei Shanshan to take the money, but it was for the young couple.
Wei Shanshan's future mother-in-law said a lot of things in front of Amelia Su, meaning that she couldn't sell her daughter, and she had to leave more things for her daughter so that she wouldn't be laughed at. She also said that Amelia Su made a lot of money from running a breakfast shop, and the man's family didn't ask Amelia Su to treat her children the same way, and didn't ask Amelia Su to give Wei Shanshan a dowry, so that part of the betrothal gift would be Wei Shanshan's dowry.
Wei Shanshan's future mother-in-law also said that if it were another man, he might not give those gifts, meaning that Amelia Su should stop while she is ahead.
No matter how unhappy Amelia Su was, she could only shut her mouth. Amelia Su was afraid that it would be a waste of effort, so she would take as much money as she could.
At the engagement party, Amelia Su’s smile didn’t reach her eyes, and it looked fake.
Wei Shanshan and others didn’t care whether Amelia Su was happy or not, the engagement party was held smoothly anyway.
When she got home, Xiao Wenjun asked Su Xueqing, "Mom, is Auntie dissatisfied with Sister Shanshan's marriage?"
"How do you know?" Su Xueqing asked.
"I can see that. Auntie doesn't look very happy." Xiao Wenjun said.
"If you can see it, others can see it even more." Su Xueqing said.
"Auntie is really not afraid that Sister Shanshan will be unhappy." Xiao Wenjun said.
"Your aunt is just like that. She didn't introduce the person to Shanshan. She felt that the betrothal money she got was not enough." Su Xueqing said, "She didn't dare to make a fuss, so she just dared to annoy people like this."
Wei Shanshan already knew what her mother was like, she didn't care whether her mother was happy or not, as long as she was happy. Wei Shanshan was all smiles at the engagement party, she wasn't afraid of her mother being cold.
"It's okay, it's okay, mom, you are different from auntie." Xiao Wenjun said, "Sister Shanshan has worked so hard."
"Your aunt..." Su Xueqing touched her daughter's head, "Of course we are different. As long as you don't fall in love and don't just find a man to marry, it will be fine. If you really do that, I can't control it, so I won't care."
"I won't." Xiao Wenjun said.
After Wei Shanshan's matter was settled, Amelia Su did not really not prepare a dowry for Wei Shanshan, but she only planned to prepare two quilts. The Ke family had all the other things, so if Amelia Su prepared them herself, it would be in vain.
Su's mother didn't ask Su Yamei what she wanted to give Wei Shanshan as a dowry. The man had said before that he would just leave a part of the betrothal gift and give it directly to Wei Shanshan as a dowry. The man gave the money directly to Wei Shanshan without going through Su Yamei's hands, which was much more convenient, saving Su's mother from having to ask Su Yamei to take out the betrothal gift money to buy a dowry for Wei Shanshan.
No one from the Su family went to attend Yu Xiuxiu's wedding banquet, which made Yu Xiuxiu and others very dissatisfied with the Su family. Yu Guochao and his wife specially arranged a few more tables for the banquet, thinking that those relatives would come, but there were too few relatives who came, and many people did not go to the banquet, and received even fewer red envelopes. Fortunately, they did not hold the banquet in a hotel, but hired a chef to cook the banquet at home.
The wedding banquet was held in October. The weather was not so hot at this time, so it was easier to store the food in the refrigerator. Since many people did not attend the wedding banquet, there were still many dishes left. Those dishes could only be eaten in the next meal. Some of the remaining dishes were not cooked but kept in the refrigerator.
Yu Jiachao and his wife did not attend Yu Xiuxiu's wedding banquet. They just didn't want to go there even though they were so close. In their opinion, since Aunt Su became like that because of Yu Xiuxiu's matter, and Yu Guochao and his wife were still unwilling to provide for her in her old age, then Yu Jiachao would just treat her as if he didn't have a brother like Yu Guochao.
Yu Donghua and Yu Chunhua did attend Yu Xiuxiu's wedding banquet, but Yu Jiachao was very tough and said he would not go. Yu Jiachao did not go, and Yu Guochao and his wife did not invite them. Yu Guochao and his wife felt that they did not need to have a good relationship with Yu Jiachao and his wife. They all felt that Yu Jiachao just wanted them to support Aunt Su.
Fortunately, Yu Guochao and his wife, and Yu Xiuxiu were both very thick-skinned. The relatives did not attend the wedding banquet, so they just left some food for themselves.
Time passes day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it is a new year again.
Wei Shanshan got married. When Wei Shanshan got married, Su Xueqing gave all the rent that Wei Shanshan gave her, and added some more. Su Xueqing made Wei Shanshan understand that she should save some money for herself and not take out all the money for household expenses.
It is not certain whether a couple can stay together until the end. If they can stay together until the end, they have to save money so that they can spend money when they are old. At the critical moment, the man does not have to pay.
The two quilts prepared by Amelia Su seemed very thin.
Fortunately, Wei Shanshan had already prepared herself mentally. She had known for a long time that her mother would not give her more things.
The wedding banquet was held in May. The Su family went to Wei Shanshan's wedding banquet, but Yu Guochao and his wife did not come. Yu Guochao and his wife thought that if the Su family did not go to Yu Xiuxiu's wedding banquet, they would not attend Wei Shanshan's wedding banquet. The Su family did not care whether Yu Guochao and his wife attended Wei Shanshan's wedding banquet or not. Whether they attended the wedding banquet or not, Yu Guochao and his wife were not important.
This was in 1997. When Wei Shanshan followed Amelia Su back to the city, it was in 1982. Fifteen years had passed.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing have known each other for fifteen years. Their child is already twelve years old, and Xiao Wenjun is about to enter the third year of junior high school.
"Are you ready?" Su Xueqing knocked gently on her daughter's door.
"Okay, okay, that's it." Xiao Wenjun said.
Xiao Wenjun was changing clothes in the room, and she was thinking about what kind of clothes to wear when going out. Xiao Wenjun looked at the skirt, then at the trousers, and finally decided to wear the trousers when going out.
Xiao Wenjun opened the door. Su Xueqing saw that Xiao Wenjun was wearing long sleeves and long pants. "Why do you spend so much time choosing clothes like this?"
"I wanted to wear a skirt, but there are a lot of mosquitoes on the mountain." Xiao Wenjun said, "It's better to wear long pants. Mom, how about you, just wear this skirt?"
"Change your clothes." Su Xueqing looked at her daughter. Her daughter was already wearing long pants, so as a mother, she should also change.
Ning Yanjing had been waiting downstairs for more than half an hour. He was very patient. It would take time for his wife and daughter to change clothes. Ning Yanjing and his friends planned to go hiking and have some fun on the mountain. In addition to Ning Yanjing, Ning Yuhao was also here. Ning Yurong was not here. After he went to college, he often went to the court to listen to cases, watched the news, and went to work and did more things with the professor.
Ning Yuhao prepared a mosquito repellent bag and even a big watermelon in it. He was going to carry the watermelon up the mountain. Once they were on the mountain, they could eat the watermelon.
"Coming, coming." Xiao Wenjun went downstairs and Su Xueqing followed behind Xiao Wenjun.
Su Xueqing and her group first took a car to the foot of the mountain, and then they climbed the mountain. There were many people who came to climb the mountain, and many of them came to climb the mountain together.
Xiao Wenjun and Ning Yuhao both had good physical strength, while Su Xueqing had the worst. Xiao Wenjun and Ning Yuhao did not continue to climb up, they knew they had to wait for Su Xueqing, and Ning Yanjing walked beside Su Xueqing.
"You can go first, but you can't go to undeveloped areas, and you can't walk around randomly." Su Xueqing said, "Undeveloped areas are very dangerous."
In her previous life, Su Xueqing often saw people getting into accidents in undeveloped areas of scenic spots. In fact, there was nothing to see in undeveloped areas, just some mountains and rivers. Anyway, Su Xueqing was not curious about those undeveloped areas, and they looked just like that.
"I know." Xiao Wenjun said, "Mom, you told me this before we set off, and I wrote it down a long time ago."
"It's easy to get hypothermia if you run around in the wild." Ning Yuhao said. He also remembered what his aunt said. They came here to climb the mountain, not to die.
"Okay." Su Xueqing nodded, "You two can walk a few more steps and see other people. Don't go to places with few people."
"Okay." Xiao Wenjun said, and she walked forward with Ning Yuhao. They could find a flatter place first, and then stop when they found a better place to rest.
Ning Jiaxuan did not come, her son is a little younger, Lou Li is seven years old this year. Ning Jiaxuan took her child to enjoy the cool at home, eating watermelon, watching TV, and using the air conditioner. It was a comfortable life.
"Next time, when the weather is cooler, we'll go hiking again." Ning Jiaxuan said, "If you want to hike, we'll go."
"No need to climb mountains." Lou Li shook his head. "You can do homework."
Lou Li prefers reading at home rather than climbing mountains.
A few days ago, Su Xueqing asked Ning Jiaxuan if she wanted to go hiking, but Ning Jiaxuan refused. Ning Jiaxuan preferred to go to a banquet with friends rather than go hiking. Ning Jiaxuan asked Su Xueqing and the others to go by themselves, and when Su Xueqing came back from hiking, Ning Jiaxuan would go to play with her again.
"You, on the other hand, only know how to do your homework." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"You asked me to do my homework, and Dad asked me to do it too." Lou Li said.
"..." Ning Jiaxuan felt guilty, "It's because you don't listen that I asked you to do your homework. If you were so good to your sister Junjun, I wouldn't punish you by making you do your homework."
"Sister Junjun is smart." Lou Li said, "I want to be like Sister Junjun."
"Okay, same, same, go do your homework." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I'll hire two more tutors for you another day, and you just study hard."
Ning Jiaxuan thought this was good, she didn't have to keep an eye on the child. But this child looked too much like Lou Mian, two nerds in the family. Ning Jiaxuan wondered why she thought Lou Mian was good at the beginning. What was so good about Lou Mian? Lou Mian did get promoted to associate professor, and in a few years, he could become a professor.
This is the only thing Lou Mian can show off; Ning Jiaxuan doesn't want to talk about anything else.
Su Xueqing and her husband climbed for a long time before they met up with Ning Wenjun and the others.
Ning Yuhao opened his bag, which contained a watermelon and a fruit knife.
"You brought such a big watermelon?" Su Xueqing was stunned.
Su Xueqing asked Ning Yuhao to come and play, but she didn't let Ning Yuhao carry a big watermelon.
"Yes, I brought it from home specially." Ning Yuhao said, "My mother chose it for me. I told her that it must be a red and sweet watermelon, not an unripe one."
Ning Yuhao cut the watermelon. Fortunately, the watermelon was red. If it wasn't red, he would cry. Ning Yuhao cut a piece of watermelon first and handed it to Su Xueqing, then to Xiao Wenjun. They each had a piece of watermelon.
"Not sweet enough." Ning Yuhao commented.
"Sweet, very sweet." Su Xueqing said.
"Very sweet." Xiao Wenjun agreed.
Su Xueqing and Xiao Wenjun looked at Ning Yanjing, and Ning Yanjing said, "It's very sweet, very good."
"Because I carried it on my back, it's sweet, right?" Ning Yuhao knew at a glance why these people said the watermelon was sweet.
"It feels sweet inside," said Xiao Wenjun.
The four of them ate the watermelon, sat for a while, and continued to climb up. There were still some watermelons left, and Ning Yuhao carried them in a bag. Su Xueqing asked Ning Yanjing to carry them, but Ning Yuhao wanted him to carry them himself.
"I picked it sweet." Ning Yuhao said.
"You bring it up." Ning Yanjing stopped arguing with Ning Yuhao.
The group continued to walk up the mountain. They climbed the stairs. There was a road on the other side where they could drive. There was a restaurant on the mountain. Ning Yanjing and others arrived at the restaurant and ordered food.
The restaurants on the mountain don't have many dishes and they are expensive. Many people bring food with them and don't eat in the restaurants.
There is also a panda house nearby, which houses pandas. There are also some other buildings on the mountain, including a temple.
Chinese people like to build temples on mountains. Not only on mountains, but also in some cracks in the ground, people can carve Buddha statues in them. When there is a dry season in a reservoir, there are Thousand Buddha Caves and Ten Thousand Buddha Caves.
After dinner, Su Xueqing and others went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, took a look at other buildings, and then went to see the pandas.
The panda is eating bamboo with its back to everyone. There are quite a lot of bamboos in Nancheng, of various kinds. The panda can also eat fresh bamboo shoots in this season.
"Mom." Xiao Wenjun opened her mouth, but covered her mouth again, not wanting to scare the panda.
Xiao Wenjun has seen pandas before, but every time she sees a panda, she still thinks it is very cute. Pandas are adorable and so cute.
There are still many people who come to the mountain to see the pandas. They have to buy tickets to see the pandas. Even if there are not many pandas here, everyone is happy to pay for the tickets. There are many trees on the mountain, the temperature is lower, and the pandas can stay outdoors.
The staff placed several large ice blocks in the panda area, and there was a small pool with flowing water.
At noon, when it was very hot, the staff asked the panda to go back, but the panda didn't want to go back. There were big trees outside, and even if the big trees in the venue were broken by the pandas, the pandas still liked to stay outside. At night, it was even more difficult for the staff to collect the pandas, because such a big panda was lying on the tree.
Fortunately, there are few earthquakes in this area, and most of them are caused by earthquakes on the neighboring islands. The staff sometimes let the pandas stay outside. The most important thing is that the pandas like it. As long as the pandas are not sick or injured, it doesn't matter. The indoor space is a little small, and the outdoor space is large.
A large area here is the pandas' activity area, with fruit trees and many flowers and plants.
Xiao Wenjun likes pandas very much. Ning Yanjing and his wife also donated money to the panda house so that the pandas can get better treatment.
Ning Yuhao took out paper and pen and started drawing a panda.
Su Xueqing looked at Ning Yuhao. Ning Yuhao brought so many things. When Su Xueqing set out, she knew that Ning Yuhao's backpack was big, but she didn't expect Ning Yuhao to be able to carry so many things.
"The painting is very good." Su Xueqing said in a low voice, she was afraid that her voice would be too loud and disturb the panda.
At this moment, there are not many people coming to see the pandas, and there are only two pandas in the panda house, unlike the panda house in the panda habitat which has many pandas.
Su Xueqing didn't expect Ning Yuhao's painting skills to be so good and lifelike. The panda painted by Ning Yuhao was so cute.
Because Ning Yuhao was drawing pandas, Su Xueqing and the others stayed in the panda house for a while longer, and then took a car back home around five in the evening. Ning Yuhao followed Su Xueqing and her husband back home, and he stayed at Su Xueqing and her husband's home at night.
At night, Su Xueqing and Ning Yuhao were in the bedroom, and Su Xueqing thought of the panda that Ning Yuhao had painted.
While having dinner, Ning Yuhao wanted to draw and make animation.
Su Xueqing thought it was good for Ning Yuhao to have a dream, but she didn't know whether Ning Dasao and her husband would support Ning Yuhao in doing animation. To make animation, you need money, and the animation you make may not be popular, especially animated movies. But if you don't give it a try, how can you know if it will work?
"Yuhao's painting skills are so good." Su Xueqing said.
"When you told him about making panda animation, his eyes lit up." Ning Yanjing said. He did not miss Ning Yuhao's performance.
It was normal for Ning Yuhao to like Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing always understood Ning Yuhao's thoughts. Ning Yanjing sometimes felt that Sister Ning might not understand Ning Yuhao better than Su Xueqing. Ning Yuhao dared to tell Su Xueqing what he didn't dare to tell his biological parents.
"The fact that domestic animation is relatively backward doesn't mean there is no hope," Su Xueqing said. "Precisely because of the backwardness, if they can make slightly better animations, many people will like them. Our country has many mythological stories that can be made into cartoons and movies. There are a lot of materials that can be used. If you can develop in an industry you like, it would be a very happy thing."
"When he goes to college, if he still insists, I will invest in him," said Ning Yanjing.
"We have to wait until college." Su Xueqing said, "High school is the time to study, and we can't be distracted. When he is in college, if he still wants to make animations, he can continue to do it."
Su Xueqing didn't plan to tell Sister Ning about this. Ning Yuhao liked painting so much and was so good at it, it was impossible for Sister Ning to not know about it. Sister Ning might have thought about letting Ning Yuhao do those things after he went to college.
In the room, Ning Yuhao looked at the paintings he had drawn during the day. He also drew some paintings at home. Ning Yuhao didn't dare to tell his mother that he wanted to make cartoons in the future. He was afraid that his parents would be disappointed in him. His brother studied law and would work in the judicial organs in the future. As for himself, he didn't paint Chinese paintings or oil paintings, and he didn't paint paintings that could sell for a lot of money. Instead, he made cartoons, which were not that advanced.
Ning Yuhao thought of what his aunt said. She praised him for his good drawing skills and said he had great potential. This made Ning Yuhao's blood boil. Could he really make animation in the future? If his mother knew, would she say he was immature?
The next day, Ning Yuhao went back after breakfast, and Ning Jiaxuan came over after Ning Yuhao went back. Ning Jiaxuan complained to Su Xueqing about her son, "My son is really becoming more and more like his father, like a nerd."
