Chapter 25: Away from the Ancient City
"If it's lost, go find it." Ning Yanjing comforted Su Xueqing, "Don't worry, we will all go find it, we will definitely find it."
"Yes." Su Xueqing nodded, "Come with me to find it."
Su Xueqing didn't dare to go out alone, especially at night, because it might be dangerous outside. A young girl must be careful when going out. Su Xueqing couldn't risk herself in the search for Wei Shanshan, so Old Lady Su asked Su Xueqing to wait at home.
If Ning Yanjing was with them, the two of them could go out and look for her together. At least with a grown man by their side, it wouldn't be so dangerous.
"Okay." Ning Yanjing held Su Xueqing's hand tightly. He felt Su Xueqing's hand trembling. "Let's go out and look for it together."
All the neighbors nearby knew that Shanshan was missing, and they all rushed to look for Wei Shanshan.
"Shanshan."
"Shanshan."
"Shanshan, Wei Shanshan."
…
Everyone was shouting loudly, and some people went out with flashlights to look for the person. Some people went to the train station and bus station, just in case someone had left with the child.
Wei Shanshan was very timid and cowardly, and she was afraid that she would be taken away. After being frightened a few times, she dared not speak. The traffickers could also use drugs to knock the child unconscious, so that the child could not speak.
Those people went to look for Wei Shanshan. Several hours had passed, and they didn't know whether they could find her or not, so they still had to look for her.
Su Yamei was pregnant and had felt dizzy before, so she did not go out to look for him, but stayed in the rental house. Wei Dashan put down his work and asked for leave. He had to find Wei Shanshan and find his daughter.
Wei Dashan was very anxious. Wei Shanshan was his first child and he loved her very much. Even though he often went to work in the fields and could not often accompany his daughter, he still wanted his daughter to be well.
"Shanshan, Shanshan, where are you?" Wei Dashan was looking for someone everywhere with a flashlight. They had already called the police, and the police were also looking for someone.
None of the Su family members went to Amelia Su’s side, they were all busy looking for someone.
When the Xu family, who lived next door to the Su family, learned that Wei Shanshan was missing, they all shook their heads.
"I think it was Amelia Su who deliberately lost the child." Xu Ruyun spoke directly at home, "She doesn't want to raise a girl, she just wants to raise a son."
"If they didn't want the child, they could have just abandoned the child in the countryside. Why did they come to the city..."
"There are many rich people in the city." Xu Ruyun said, "They can think that maybe Wei Shanshan was adopted by a rich man, and they won't feel so guilty."
"Speak softly, don't let them hear it, there are people at home." said Xu's mother.
“Why are you speaking so quietly? You just have to speak louder.” Xu Ruyun said, “It’s just that Amelia Su doesn’t want the child, she lost the child on purpose.”
Xu Ruyun was upset. Yes, she was planning to be a black lotus in this life. She was afraid that she would intervene, so she stayed at her aunt's house for one night. Before, Amelia Su's daughter was not lost, but now she is lost again. This made it difficult for Xu Ruyun not to think that Amelia Su did it on purpose. Wei Shanshan was just a five or six-year-old child, a child who came to the city from the countryside, and a child who was still trembling.
Anyway, Xu Ruyun couldn't help find Wei Shanshan, and she didn't know where Wei Shanshan in her previous life went. Xu Ruyun just wanted to speak out loudly, so that the Su family and other neighbors would know Amelia Su's ugly face. Amelia Su lost the child herself. She said she was pregnant and not feeling well. She was lying at home, and others went to find Wei Shanshan.
Amelia Su just wanted to have a son, but now with the family planning policy tightening, Amelia Su had a reason not to raise Wei Shanshan.
"The child is so young, and the mother doesn't have a job. How can she not take good care of the child?" Xu Ruyun asked, "She can't take good care of the child herself, and she still expects others to help her take care of the child?"
When Mrs. Su heard Xu Ruyun's voice, she sighed. Mrs. Su was old, and after Mr. Su passed away, Mrs. Su became ill. Her family did not let her go out to look for someone, but let her stay at home.
Amelia Su has a bad temper, and the Su family can see it. They can also see that Amelia Su is not particularly good to Wei Shanshan. Amelia Su did not consider Wei Shanshan going out to make friends, and directly shaved Wei Shanshan's head, but Amelia Su herself did not shave her head.
In the middle of the night, Ning Yanjing's people found Wei Shanshan, who was in the police station near the train station. Wei Shanshan was indeed taken away by human traffickers, but the traffickers found out that Wei Shanshan was a girl, and someone else was looking for a child, so they dumped Wei Shanshan in the toilet at the train station.
Fortunately, someone found Wei Shanshan. When Wei Shanshan was found, she was still in a coma, probably because she had been drugged.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing went to the train station and took Wei Shanshan home. When they went to the police station, Wei Shanshan had just woken up. Wei Shanshan was confused and wanted to find her mother. Then, some children came to play with her, so she went with them. Then, she didn't know how she ended up in the police station.
"It's okay, we'll be home soon." Su Xueqing gently touched Wei Shanshan's head, "Next time, don't go out to play with strangers."
Who would have thought that someone would use a child to trick Wei Shanshan? They first used the child to get closer to her, and Wei Shanshan really wanted to play with other children. Wei Shanshan was not wearing a skirt, but a blue dress and pants, and she was bald. Maybe the traffickers thought Wei Shanshan was a boy, so they kidnapped her. Later, the traffickers found out that Wei Shanshan was a girl, and someone else was looking for her, so they threw her away.
Girls are too young to be sold, boys are the easiest to sell. Girls are preferably 14 or 15 years old, older and able to have children, they are easier to sell. Girls are too young and need to be raised. The most important thing is that many rural people don't want girls, and some even throw them away.
A money-losing item is easy to be discovered. If you don't throw it away and keep it with you, it will only get you into trouble.
Su Xueqing had already heard the police's relevant speculations. She looked at Wei Shanshan, a tiny child.
"Don't be afraid." Su Xueqing said.
Wei Shanshan looked up at Su Xueqing and opened her mouth, "Aunt."
"Yes, it's my aunt." Su Xueqing nodded, "It's okay, it's okay."
Amelia Su hugged Wei Shanshan, saying that as long as the person was found, everything would be fine as long as the child was fine. Amelia Su didn't want the relationship between the Su family and Amelia Su to get worse, even if Amelia Su herself didn't take good care of the child. Amelia Su would not think it was her own problem, but only someone else's problem.
When Amelia Su saw Wei Shanshan coming back, she rushed up to hug Wei Shanshan. When she got in front of Wei Shanshan, Amelia Su said, "I told you to stay at home, I told you to stay at home, why are you running around? Do you want to kill me?"
Amelia Su's eyes were slightly red, and she really felt that Wei Shanshan had disappeared. Wei Shanshan was the child that Amelia Su had worked so hard to conceive and give birth to. Of course, she hoped that the child would be safe and smooth, and she didn't want anything to happen to the child. Sometimes Amelia Su felt that Wei Shanshan was not good enough, Wei Shanshan was not generous enough, and the child always acted very timid. Amelia Su felt that Wei Shanshan was not like her child.
"Everyone is looking for you everywhere, you..."
"She was kidnapped." Su Xueqing said, "The traffickers thought she was a boy because she had a bald head, so they had this misunderstanding."
“Bald, are you blaming me?” Amelia Su said.
"The child has been delivered. We'll leave first." Ning Yanjing pulled Su Xueqing. He didn't want Su Xueqing to be scolded.
Su Xueqing followed Ning Yanjing and did not speak. However, Amelia Su slapped Wei Shanshan's hand and said, "Run, run, run. You only know how to run. This is the city, not the countryside. Do you understand? You don't know anything. How can I have a daughter like you?"
The next moment, Su Xueqing turned around, walked to Wei Shanshan, picked her up, and said, "I'll take her home to eat something."
Su Xueqing took Wei Shanshan back home. Wei Shanshan was so scared that she didn't dare to speak. Su Xueqing thought that the reason why Wei Shanshan became like this was closely related to Su Yamei's teaching. How could Su Yamei still have the nerve to say that about Wei Shanshan? Wei Shanshan was so young, how could she know so much.
It was almost dawn, Ning Yanjing sent Su Xueqing back to Su's house, and then he went back. Su Xueqing asked Ning Yanjing to go eat something, and Ning Yanjing said he would wait another day.
"If you have any problems, come to me." Ning Yanjing said this before he went back.
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "Be careful on the road and have a good rest when you get back. You haven't rested all night."
"You too, need to have a good rest." Ning Yanjing said.
Ning Yanjing went back. Su Xueqing asked Wei Shanshan to sit in the living room while Old Lady Su went to cook noodles.
The people from the Su family came back one after another. They were relieved to learn that Wei Shanshan had been found. Some other people were still looking for Wei Shanshan. Brother Su went out to inform those people that they didn't need to look for her anymore because Wei Shanshan had been found.
"Let Shanshan live with us." Old Madam Su said, "Yamei is pregnant and she can't take care of the child."
Mrs. Su didn't want to say more, but Amelia Su didn't keep an eye on the child this time, what about next time? Mrs. Su thought that her family was not too bad to girls, unlike other families who favored boys over girls, but Amelia Su became like this.
Su Xueqing looked at Old Lady Su, “Grandma.”
"I can still stretch my muscles, I'll take care of her." Old Mrs. Su said, "It's enough for something like this to happen once."
This time, they found Wei Shanshan, but what about next time?
No one knows what will happen next time, all they can do is try to avoid it.
"Xueqing, thank you and Yanjing for your hard work this time." said Old Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su was unhappy because she felt that Amelia Su was too embarrassed and was afraid that the Ning family would have a problem with Amelia Su. Now Amelia Su is just a college student who has not made a name for herself, a college student who seems to have only a pretty face and does not have much ability.
Some people are born a few years earlier, so they can appear more powerful. Those who are born a few years later, who have not yet entered society and made their mark, will appear much weaker.
Currently, this is the case with Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing. Su Xueqing is a sophomore next semester, while Ning Yanjing has already graduated from college and started his own business. The two seem to be very different.
"It's good that Shanshan is found." Su Xueqing said, "Wait until Shanshan's hair grows out. When her hair grows long, she can get a hairpin like girls wear."
Wei Shanshan was eating noodles, one mouthful at a time, she ate by herself, without anyone feeding her. Wei Shanshan didn't know how worried everyone was when she disappeared, she just fell asleep. Wei Shanshan only knew that her mother was very unhappy just now, and she didn't dare to go back home.
Su Xueqing took a nap on the bench in the living room, and Wei Shanshan went to Old Lady Su's room.
At dawn, Su Xueqing went back to the school dormitory to catch up on some sleep. The child had been found, and Su Xueqing had someone broadcast the news to prevent others from continuing to look for her. She was very grateful to those who helped find Wei Shanshan. If it hadn't been for the loud noise, that person might not have kept Wei Shanshan.
The police also asked Wei Shanshan what the trafficker looked like. How could a child know how to describe a person's appearance? The description was not so detailed, just a simple description of whether the person had long hair or short hair. If there was a photo, Wei Shanshan might be able to tell, but without a photo, it would be difficult for Wei Shanshan to describe it.
When the Ning family learned about Wei Shanshan's situation, they sighed. Fortunately, Wei Shanshan was found. If Wei Shanshan had not been found, this matter would have become complicated. In the end, Su Yamei was to blame.
“Xue Qing’s elder sister…” Mother Ning sat on the sofa. She took a sip of tea. She didn’t know how to talk to Amelia Su.
Mother Ning asked about the Su family and knew some things about Amelia Su.
"I just hope she doesn't lose her child again." said Ning's mother.
"It shouldn't happen again." Ning Yanjing said, "Fortunately this time, we found the person."
"Where's Xueqing?" Ning's mother asked, "Didn't they say the bed in their living room was moved away? How does she rest?"
"I guess we'll just have to make do with it for one night. We should be going to school now." Ning Yanjing said, "I'll go see her later."
"She must be feeling bad too." Ning's mother said, "A lot of things happened after her elder sister returned to the city."
"Yes." Ning Yanjing said.
Ning's mother didn't say anything bad about Su Xueqing, nor did she say anything bad about the Su family. Many educated youth who went to the countryside returned to the city with all kinds of troubles, but fortunately Su Xueqing wasn't that bad. Ning's mother was looking at Su Xueqing's future. Su Xueqing was a potential stock, with a smart brain, and it would be easy for her to get a good job in the future.
Wei Dashan sat in the Su family, and the Su family told Wei Dashan about Shanshan. Wei Dashan was a little embarrassed when he learned that Mrs. Su decided to let Wei Shanshan stay in the Su family. He knew that it was because Amelia Su lost her child, so Mrs. Su asked Wei Shanshan to stay with Amelia Su less.
"Pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years." Old Madam Su said, "You and Yamei should just stay together and don't worry about Shanshan."
Old Mrs. Su glanced at Wei Shanshan. After all, Wei Shanshan was her relative, and Old Mrs. Su didn't want Wei Shanshan to have a bad life.
"We won't ask you for child support," said Mrs. Su. "After the child goes to school, she will live with you in two or three years."
"Thank you for your help." Wei Dashan said.
"Please take care of Yamei." said Old Mrs. Su.
"Of course, of course." Wei Dashan said.
Wei Dashan looked at Wei Shanshan, he was a little scared, fortunately the child was fine. When Wei Dashan came to the Su family, Amelia Su was still very unhappy. She thought those people were blaming her, she didn't mean it, how could she know that Wei Shanshan would get into trouble. If she had known earlier, she would have taken Wei Shanshan with her directly.
Amelia Su was angry, and she was also angry with Wei Dashan. When Wei Dashan returned from the Su family, Amelia Su's face was still very ugly.
“What did they say?” Amelia Su asked.
"Nothing, just let Shanshan stay with her parents first." Wei Dashan said, "Wait two or three years, then let Shanshan live with us. You are pregnant now, you are quite tired, so let you relax a little."
“I don’t think they are letting me relax, they clearly don’t believe me.” Amelia Su said.
"They didn't say you did it on purpose." Wei Dashan said.
“They didn’t say it, but they may think so in their hearts.” Amelia Su said.
"..." Wei Dashan was helpless. Amelia Su didn't understand how good others were to her. Wei Dashan wanted to coax Amelia Su, but he didn't know where to start.
In the evening, Su Xueqing went out to eat with Ning Yanjing, and Su Xueqing told him about Old Lady Su's decision.
"Grandma was worried that Shanshan would get lost again, so she just let Shanshan live with her." Su Xueqing said, "Originally, she said that when Shanshan was in school, grandma would take care of the child more."
"Grandma is really nice." Ning Yanjing said, "She is very gentle to the girls in the family."
"Well, as long as I can remember, grandma was very nice to us." Su Xueqing said, "My second sister and I are girls, and grandma was not too bad to us. This time, Shanshan was abducted by human traffickers, and grandma was really unhappy. She was very disappointed with my eldest sister."
Ning Yanjing didn't want to say anything about Amelia Su. He and Amelia Su hadn't gotten married yet, so it was not easy for him to say anything bad about Amelia Su.
“You…you stay away from her.” Ning Yanjing thought of Amelia Su’s attitude towards Amelia Su. They sent Shan Shan to Amelia Su, and Amelia Su looked like they had done something wrong.
"You don't have to tell me. I don't want to get too close to her. Grandma also said so." Su Xueqing said, "Maybe it's because I didn't go to the countryside and didn't experience those hardships, so I can't understand my elder sister's feelings and don't understand how my elder sister became like this step by step."
Amelia Su’s temper was too sharp, not only towards her family, but also towards her own daughter.
When Amelia Su thought of Amelia Su, she wanted to shake her head.
"You don't have to worry about Big Sister's job. Wait until she has the baby, has finished her confinement, and is over her breastfeeding period. You don't have to worry about it." Su Xueqing said, "If she needs a job, she can find one herself."
"No matter what." Ning Yanjing said, "I'll do as you say."
"You were busy for so long last night. After you went back..." Su Xueqing paused, "Are your parents unhappy?"
Su Xueqing was a little worried that Ning's father and mother would be unhappy because there were too many troubles at home.
"No, they were worried that Shanshan hadn't been found yet." Ning Yanjing said, "They are relieved that she has been found."
"It will be much better if Shanshan follows Madam." Su Xueqing said.
Mrs. Su doesn't have Alzheimer's disease, so she can take care of Wei Shanshan more. Wei Shanshan is not lively and doesn't run around all the time, so she is easier to take care of.
Xu Ruyun's words were heard by several people, and someone said at home that Amelia Su deliberately lost the child. At first, it was said at home, and later, someone said it outside. When the Su family heard those words, they of course said that Amelia Su did not do it on purpose. Amelia Su was very angry. Why did those people say that?
The baking training course was over, and Su Xueqing did not live or eat at home, so she went home less often.
On this day, Su Xueqing and Ning Jiaxuan went to the ancient courtyard in the south city together. This area is the ancient city area and covers a large area. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to walk from one end to the other, not to mention the alleys.
Su Xueqing brought paper, pen, ruler and other things, and put all those things in a large backpack.
Ning Yanjing came along and helped Su Xueqing carry the backpack. The bag had a lot of stuff in it and was quite heavy. Ning Yanjing could just carry it on one shoulder. As a grown man, he didn't think the backpack was heavy. If Su Xueqing carried it, she would carry it on both shoulders, which would be easier, but it would make her back sweat more.
"Our teacher asked us to come over and take a closer look, and to draw the blueprints of these buildings." Su Xueqing said, "Some of the internal structures may not be visible, but the surface structures can be seen."
"Didn't I ask you to design a new one?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"To design new things, we must also learn from the old ones." Su Xueqing said, "The wisdom of the ancients is no less than that of us today."
The roofs of ancient buildings are mostly made of wood. The arrangement and structure of the wood are very particular. There are also drainage systems and various small ideas in the courtyard.
In her previous life, Su Xueqing had studied these things. During her holidays, she had seen many ancient buildings and even designed some. In this life, this time is a good time. Many special economic administrative regions have not been established, and many are in a state of being developed. At this time, film and television cities and the like have not developed so maturely. There is a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and Su Xueqing, a professional, can play a big role.
"Look, the four corners of the eaves of the house, these upturned corners, and the patterns on them are slightly different in different provinces, and the architectural styles are also slightly different." Su Xueqing said.
Ordinary people still live in this ancient city area. If these places are developed, they can become a good tourist attraction.
Su Xueqing asked Ning Yanjing to put down her bag. She took out a pen and paper and had to draw it and check the proportions. Su Xueqing had studied in her previous life, but those materials were from her previous life, not this life. The two worlds are parallel time and space, not exactly the same. Su Xueqing had to respect this world and couldn't always think about her previous life. But most things are similar, basically close.
"Our current buildings basically don't have these features, and they focus more on practicality." Su Xueqing said, "Each era has different buildings with their own unique characteristics."
The two were in the living room of a house, and Ning Jiaxuan looked at the tree in the corner. That tree had a lot of green leaves, but no flowers. That tree bloomed in spring, so naturally there were no flowers now.
"It's still quite cool here." Ning Jiaxuan said, "It's a little cooler than outside."
"Warm in winter and cool in summer." Su Xueqing said.
"A place like this is good. We have a garden at home." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Mom said she has taken it back. I'll go with you to see it some other day."
"Can't you go by yourself?" Ning Yanjing looked at his sister, and his sister said what he was about to say.
"Oh, sorry, little brother, I almost forgot." Ning Jiaxuan stuck out her tongue at Ning Yanjing, "During the lecture, the teacher also mentioned our garden and said we should go over to take a look."
Su Xueqing remembered that when the teacher talked about that garden, he also talked about the Ning family. However, the teacher did not say much, but the few words the teacher said could let everyone know how powerful the ancestors of the Ning family were.
"Xue Qing, if you're worried that my brother won't be able to control himself and will do something to him, then you can let me go with you." Ning Jiaxuan chuckled, "But my brother probably won't do that."
Ning Jiaxuan looked at her brother, and when she said a few words, her brother became nervous.
"Brother, don't worry. I won't say bad things about you. I'm still waiting for Xueqing to become my sister-in-law." Ning Jiaxuan said, "If my good friend becomes my sister-in-law, I will definitely live a comfortable life from now on."
"You feel relieved." Ning Yanjing thought that having such a sister around, he was worried that she would seduce his girlfriend away at any time.
After more than ten minutes, it started to rain, a heavy rain.
Su Xueqing and others had to stay in the living room of the house, which was paved with stone slabs, which were similar to ceramic tiles.
The house here also has a corridor, and there are some hollow patterns on the wall, which can see another place from one side. Looking from this side, you can also see trees and other scenery. These are all carefully designed and have a kind of classical beauty.
At this moment, Aunt Su pretended to go to see Amelia Su.
"It would be good to let your grandmother help you take care of the child." Aunt Su said, "In my opinion, they shouldn't have moved the bunk beds in the living room. If they did, Shanshan would sleep with your grandmother, and Xueqing would have no place to sleep when she goes back. By the way, you really quit your job, don't you want it anymore?"
“My mother quit my job for me.” Amelia Su said.
"What a pity." Aunt Su said, "If you hadn't quit, and you hadn't done it, you could have asked your cousins and their wives to do it. They can do it. By the way, are you short of people over there?"
"That side... is not clear." Amelia Su said, "Aunt, if you want to know, just go and ask yourself."
"I used to... I used to be useless." Aunt Su said, "Nowadays, to find a job, you either have money to buy a job or have connections. If you don't have money, it doesn't matter. Who will arrange a job for you?"
"I said I wanted my third sister-in-law to take my place, but my mother wouldn't let me. She insisted that I resign, so she took the initiative to resign for me." Amelia Su said, "She was afraid it would be bad for my younger sister, so that was the job arranged by her boyfriend."
"What a waste. Why not give it to your family members?" Aunt Su said, "They are relatives. Your sister's boyfriend will not disapprove. Your mother is really a fool. She just quit her job. Look at you. You are pregnant and have a daughter. Your husband is just a temporary worker. You have to pay rent for this house. There are so many things to spend money on."
Amelia Su naturally knew that her family would have to spend a lot of money, but she had no choice.
"How about you help ask around and see if the restaurant over there is still short of people. Then, send someone over to do the work." Aunt Su said, "Let your cousin's wife go over there. She will give you some money in the first few months. How about that?"
“Give me some money?” Amelia Su frowned.
"Yes." Aunt Su said, "I don't know how long this job will last. If you are paid monthly, you won't suffer any loss, and we won't lose too much either."
Aunt Su thought that if she had known that Amelia Su had quit her job, she would have come here earlier. It was a pity that they did not live in the same street. Even if they were in the same city, if they had not come here, they might not know those things.
“Let me think about it.” Amelia Su thought that if she could get some money, that would be the best thing.
The rain stopped and the sun came out again. This rain only lasted for a while, it came quickly and went away quickly. After the rain, there was a smell of dust in the air.
Ning Jiaxuan looked at the drawings drawn by Su Xueqing, and then looked at her own drawings. She felt that they were drawing two different things. Why did she think that architecture was easy to study before? She also thought that architecture only needed to be beautifully drawn, and the rest could be left to the workers.
"I was wrong." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"What?" Su Xueqing looked at Ning Jiaxuan.
"You are wrong, you should do it yourself." Ning Yanjing looked at the drawings drawn by Ning Jiaxuan.
"No, I should have applied for other majors. Xueqing and I are not in the same major, so you may not meet Xueqing." Ning Jiaxuan puffed her cheeks and said, "Brother, please don't always look down on me for being a light bulb, okay? Xueqing and I are students of the same major, and we study together. This is study, not your date. Brother, you are the redundant one."
Ning Jiaxuan snorted twice, "The ancient city area here is so big, we have to come here in the next few days. Brother, do you still want to come? You have to go to work."
"You can come over after get off work." Ning Yanjing said.
"Come over after get off work and take us to eat something delicious." Ning Jiaxuan said.
Su Xueqing looked at a small red bag hanging in the middle of the eaves. The bag had several corners and contained some spices and other things. Due to the long time, there was a lot of dust on it, and the red color was not as bright and vivid, and there were some embroidery patterns on it.
It would be nice if I had a camera so I could take a picture. It's not very good to look at it with the naked eye. If you stand below, you won't be high enough to see the lines. Even if you use a ladder, it has to be a relatively high ladder.
Some roofs have two jars placed on them, facing different directions, one facing forward and the other facing backward.
Su Xueqing has seen many bungalows and jars. There are one or two houses like this on their street. This has something to do with Feng Shui. Those people pay attention to Feng Shui and other things, so there are all kinds of designs. Not to mention ordinary people's houses, there is also a box in the Forbidden City, which contains some things and is placed there.
It is not easy to learn about architecture without a camera, just by looking at people's eyes and relying on their hands.
No wonder the teacher always told them to come to this ancient city area. If they don’t have more funds, they can come to the ancient city area in the south city. This way they can learn a lot and also reduce travel expenses.
"Xueqing, your drawing is still better. Mine is just like a child's, just like playing house." Ning Jiaxuan sighed.
"Just draw it a few more times." Su Xueqing said, "We are not studying art, just draw a structure."
"I would rather doodle." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Do you know why I want to study architecture?"
"Why?" Su Xueqing was curious.
"Because there is a very famous woman who is very good at architecture. She has drawn many blueprints of ancient buildings. She visited the sites one by one and drew them one by one." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I saw that she was so famous, so I wondered if I could be that famous too. After studying this major, I found that I thought too much. I only wanted her fame, not her talent."
Ning Jiaxuan sighed again, this major is too difficult, she regretted it very much. Ning Jiaxuan turned around and looked at her brother, the only use of her studying this major is to help her brother find a partner.
"Brother, you must give me a big red envelope for being a matchmaker." Ning Jiaxuan said, "If it weren't for me, how would you two be together?"
"You just know how to ask for pocket money." Ning Yanjing said.
"I can't help it. I spend money too fast." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Money is like running water. It moves before I move it. I don't need to push it forward. It flows away by itself."
Su Xueqing looked towards the corner and saw a little frog jumping over.
"Wow, frog." Ning Jiaxuan pushed her brother out, but couldn't push him away, so she hid behind him. Ning Jiaxuan thought about it and thought it was wrong, so she stood up and gently pushed Su Xueqing, pushing Su Xueqing behind Ning Yanjing.
"I'm not afraid of frogs. They don't bite people." Su Xueqing said.
"Oh, okay." Ning Jiaxuan said, she leaned close to Su Xueqing's ear, "Is my brother too..."
Ning Jiaxuan noticed her brother looking at her out of the corner of her eye, and she stopped talking.
"..." Su Xueqing was still waiting for Ning Jiaxuan to continue, but Ning Jiaxuan stopped talking.
"I'm a little thirsty, let me drink some water first. You guys take a look." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"..."Su Xueqing was speechless when she saw Ning Jiaxuan running to the corner to drink water.
Ning Yanjing handed Su Xueqing a piece of chocolate. He also had a bottle of water in his hand, which was for Su Xueqing to drink.
At nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, Amelia Su and others went to the restaurant to eat together. Since Amelia Su no longer worked in that restaurant, Ning Yanjing took Amelia Su and Ning Jiaxuan to eat together.
Just at this time, Amelia Su and Aunt Su went to the restaurant. They went to ask the chef if there was any shortage of people.
"Her younger sister is dating your boss." Aunt Su said this deliberately.
The head chef is not responsible for staff recruitment. He had previously wondered if Amelia Su had some connections, and now it was confirmed. But in this situation, the head chef didn't know how to deal with it, so he asked the manager of the restaurant to come over. When the manager learned that Ning Yanjing was coming, he wanted to ask Ning Yanjing.
Of course, the manager did not ask in front of Ning Yanjing foolishly, but found other reasons.
"I'll go out for a while." Ning Yanjing said.
Ning Yanjing followed the manager out, and they did not go directly to the kitchen.
"They said they were your boyfriend's aunt and elder sister," the manager said, "asking if the hotel is short of anyone."
"No shortage, let them go back." Ning Yanjing said.
"Yes." The manager nodded.
The manager didn't ask anything else, he just turned and left.
"Wait." Ning Yanjing said again, "Be polite, but don't be too polite."
Ning Yanjing was afraid that those people would go and cause trouble for Su Xueqing later. These people really were not considering Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing didn't know about those things. She was just waiting for dinner in the box.
The restaurant was quite large, Amelia Su and Amelia Su were not in the same seat, and Amelia Su and others were in a private room, so they had no idea what Amelia Su and Aunt Su were doing.
Amelia Su thought about coming here to give it a try. If it works, she can get some money. If not, she won't lose anything. Amelia Su didn't expect that Aunt Su would directly tell them that Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing were dating. Isn't this the same as telling them that they have a relationship and those people must agree to them?
"I'm sorry, we don't need any staff." The manager said, "Our restaurant is owned by more than one person."
The manager found a reason so as not to affect the relationship between Ning Yanjing and Su Xueqing.
"Then my niece is also the future boss lady, she..."
"Aunt, let's go." Amelia Su's face was burning with pain. She didn't want others to think that she was relying on Amelia Su. She didn't work here anymore, so let's not talk about Amelia Su.
"It seems that your little sister is not that useful." Aunt Su said, "Not at all."
Amelia Su just wanted to quickly pull Aunt Su away. She didn't want to see the people she used to work with looking at her. Amelia Su thought that she still couldn't come here to work in the future. She had to work in another place in the future. She felt that those people were looking at her in the wrong way.
After Amelia Su and others had dinner, Amelia Su and Aunt Su had already left.
Ning Jiaxuan went home first, and Ning Yanjing sent Su Xueqing back to school.
When Ning Yanjing and Amelia Su were walking on the school path, he told her about Amelia Su and Aunt Su.
"They want other people to come to work. I asked the manager to say there is no shortage of people." Ning Yanjing said.
"We are not short of people." Su Xueqing looked embarrassed. How could her elder sister and aunt get together? This made Su Xueqing feel helpless. She had not graduated from college yet and did not have great ability. She could not help them, but they wanted to rely on Ning Yanjing. "If they still have such behavior, don't pay attention to them."
Amelia Su originally thought that she and Aunt Su would quietly go to the hotel to ask, if it was okay, then it was okay, if it was not okay, then it was not okay. Amelia Su did not expect Aunt Su to say that directly, and she did not expect the manager of the hotel to say no. Amelia Su only hoped that Su Xueqing did not know about this matter, and she did not want to be told by Su Xueqing.
Now, Amelia Su is looking forward to graduating soon. After graduation and having a job, she can be tougher and even rush to those people and say "no". But Amelia Su is pregnant at this time. Amelia Su can't lose her temper with a pregnant woman. Aunt Su is an elder. It is difficult for Amelia Su to take advantage of her if she goes against Aunt Su.
"It's not your fault." Ning Yanjing felt Su Xueqing's powerlessness, "Want to teach them a lesson?"
"How to teach them a lesson?" Su Xueqing said, "We Chinese people value ancestral family rules, clan relations, and family affection... Once we encounter these things, we are prone to smoothing things over. Others will say: How can you, a younger generation, do this? You, a younger sister... I was just born too late."
"It's not too late, it's just right, I happen to meet you." Ning Yanjing said.
"you……"
Su Xueqing was held in Ning Yanjing's arms, and she felt Ning Yanjing's heartbeat.
Amelia Su failed to help Aunt Su, so Aunt Su went back cursing. When Amelia Su returned home, she saw Mother Su, and she felt guilty.
"Mom...you...is Shanshan disobedient?" Su Yamei asked, avoiding Su's mother's eyes, not daring to meet hers.
"Your aunt came to see you, what were you doing?" Su's mother asked. She heard from the neighbors that Aunt Su came and went to see Amelia Su. Haha, does this person look like someone who knows and cares about Amelia Su?
