Chapter 30 High-quality tour guides
"Do you plan to let Shanshan stay with you forever?" Aunt Su asked Su's mother.
Mrs. Su San took Wei Shanshan to wash her hair and take a bath. It was not Mrs. Su who took care of Wei Shanshan. Mrs. Su San was a good aunt. She did not say that she wanted Wei Shanshan to go to Amelia Su.
"Let her stay for a few years first." Su's mother said, "Yamei is pregnant, and she has to take care of herself after giving birth. It's not convenient for them."
"It's not convenient for them, but it's convenient for you?" Aunt Su said, "Mom is so old now, it's fine for me to take care of your children, but now I have to take care of your daughter's children and your granddaughter. This is not suitable."
Second Aunt Su was worried that Old Lady Su's body couldn't handle it. Taking care of children requires a lot of energy, and children have to deal with all kinds of things. Second Aunt Su sometimes felt overwhelmed when taking care of her grandchildren because the children were too noisy.
"Shanshan is quite well behaved, so she's OK." Su's mother said, "There's a urinal under the bed, take a look, and don't knock it over."
There is some water in the urinal, which is poured out every day to reduce the odor.
Wei Shanshan was young, and she didn't dare to go to the toilet in the backyard at night. Old Mrs. Su was also old, so Su's mother simply took a urinal to Old Mrs. Su's room. Old Mrs. Su would empty the urinal herself every morning, so Su's mother didn't have to go into the old lady's room to empty it every day.
"Yamei has been in the countryside for so many years, so we can help her take care of Shanshan." said Su's mother.
In the past, Mrs. Su often said that Su Xueqing's personality was very similar to Su's mother's, and there was a reason for that. Su's mother was too soft in dealing with some things, and Su Xueqing was not strong enough in some things, considering family affection and social impact...
Second Aunt Su thought about it and decided not to say more. After all, Amelia Su was Su's mother's biological daughter, and Wei Shanshan was Su's mother's granddaughter. The children were not raised in Second Aunt Su's home. If Second Aunt Su said too much, it would only make people disgusted.
None of the Su family wanted Second Aunt Su to live with Su Xueqing. The house where Su Xueqing lived belonged to the Ning family. Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing were not married yet, so it would be a little inconvenient for Second Aunt Su to live there. The Su family did not mention it, and Second Aunt Su did not say anything.
Second Aunt Su wanted to spend more time with Old Lady Su. Old Lady Su was old, and Second Aunt Su married someone from another place, so she rarely had the chance to show filial piety to Old Lady Su. When Wei Shanshan saw the elders, she became even more silent.
"This is your aunt." Mother Su said to Wei Shanshan, "Don't be afraid. If you have anything to do at night, you can call your aunt."
"Yes, call me, call me." Aunt Su Er said with a smile, "Aunt can get up at night."
Su Xueqing was engaged, but she didn't invite her schoolmates. No matter how close they were, it was inappropriate. On the second day of her engagement, Su Xueqing invited her close classmates to have lunch together. Ning Yanjing was also there. She invited several female classmates and two male classmates. Everyone was close, and when Su Xueqing invited Tian Jiao, someone clamored to invite them together. Su Xueqing invited them together. In addition to Ning Jiaxuan, there were six classmates in total.
Ning Yanjing saw those people and greeted them.
"I have a good relationship with my classmates." Su Xueqing said to Ning Yanjing.
"The relationship is good." Tian Jiao said.
The other students said they should eat more and have a good meal.
"You don't know that Yu Li has been very unhappy these days. She told you to just get married instead of studying." Tian Jiao said, "She can't stand you trying to balance love and study, and you still failed the exam. No one likes her."
Yu Li deserves it. She is not nice to others and expects others to be nice to her. It is impossible.
Ning Yanjing listened to what those people said. They were not flattering Amelia Su. When he was with Amelia Su, those people had a good relationship with Amelia Su.
"Brother, are you envious of the pure friendship between them?" Ning Jiaxuan said in a low voice.
"You're the only one who knows." Ning Yanjing said.
"I'm envious too." Ning Jiaxuan liked Su Xueqing because she was pretty, had good grades, and was not likely to make people jealous. She also had a good relationship with her classmates. It was not easy for Ning Jiaxuan to get along well with her classmates. All she could do was buy some food for her classmates, which was more like a financial exchange.
People who have eaten the food she gave them would naturally not say bad things about her behind her back, and would also take the initiative to say hello to her.
Ning Jiaxuan didn't want to please those classmates, she longed for ordinary friendship. Ning Jiaxuan was surrounded by interest relationships, she hated that kind of relationship, and hoped to have a simple and pure friendship, but that was too difficult.
As she grows older, Ning Jiaxuan increasingly understands the value of ordinary friendship.
"Eat more and don't be polite to my brother. He has money." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Ask Xueqing to take all my brother's money out of his wallet. We can't make him poor by eating."
Ning Jiaxuan took the initiative to order more dishes. They had a few people and could eat and have fun.
Those students didn't order too many dishes, not because they were afraid of not being able to finish them, but because they were afraid of spending too much money on Ning Yanjing. As a result, Ning Jiaxuan said that she took the initiative to order more dishes, and even when someone said it was enough, Ning Jiaxuan still ordered.
"You can eat." Su Xueqing said, "It's not like I haven't eaten with you before."
Since you are inviting people to dinner, you still have to make sure they have enough food to eat. You can’t skip it.
Tian Jiao took out a book. It was an old book, quite old, but it was the book that Su Xueqing wanted to read before.
"We don't know what to give you, so we'll give you this book." Tian Jiao said, "We found it together."
"Where did you find it?" Su Xueqing was surprised. You know, this book about architecture is very hard to find. "I looked for it a lot but couldn't find it."
"Don't worry about how we found it, we found it anyway." Tian Jiao said, "Put it away first, there are bacteria."
"Okay." Su Xueqing quickly put the book into her bag.
"Xueqing's boyfriend, we'll just give Xueqing away, since you're a family anyway." Tian Jiao said.
Tian Jiao and the others gave this book to Su Xueqing because Su Xueqing wanted it. They also wanted Su Xueqing to continue studying hard and not delay her studies for a man. They did it for Ning Yanjing to see. They cared about Su Xueqing, not Ning Yanjing. No matter how high Ning Yanjing's status was, it belonged to Ning Yanjing, not Su Xueqing.
"Okay." Ning Yanjing had no objection.
Ning Jiaxuan just looked over and saw that these people really understood Su Xueqing, and Su Xueqing liked those books. Ning Jiaxuan looked at these classmates again and saw that they really knew how to cater to their preferences.
In the dormitory, Yu Li was listless. She did not go to the library, but lay on the bed. Yu Li turned over and looked at Xiang Yutong who was sitting below. Xiang Yutong was reading quietly. There were too many people in the library and there were no seats, so Xiang Yutong stayed in the dormitory. Xiang Yutong wanted to go to the classroom, but thought about it and decided not to go.
"No matter how hard you try, it's useless." Yu Li said, "They have connections, but you don't. They can practice with the teacher, but you can't."
"It depends on the grades." Xiang Yutong said, "Xueqing's grades are among the top three in the major. I can't compare to her. Xueqing is very meticulous in everything she does, and the teachers all praise her."
Xiang Yutong thought she was wrong. She should not stay in the dormitory but go to the classroom.
"Who knows how she got those results?" Yu Li said.
"..." Xiang Yutong didn't say anything.
"She's in love and engaged. Wait, maybe her grades will plummet all of a sudden." Yu Li said, "She's busy in love and not studying hard."
"You should retake the course first and make up for the ones you failed." Xiang Yutong said. It was ridiculous that a person who failed a course and needed to retake had the nerve to say that he was in the top three in his major.
Seniors are busy with job assignments, and all want to be assigned to good schools. Some have already secured jobs, while others have not yet. It all depends on the employer and the students.
Nancheng Daily did not choose Ding Ming, a person with a disciplinary record, and was not suitable to join their company. The person who joined Nancheng Daily was another student, whose academic performance was not bad.
Ding Ming thought that others were worse than him and that he was the one who got in. Ding Ming went to see the counselor, hoping that the counselor could help him.
"You know what you did, and you have been punished. It is impossible for the employer not to consider this issue." The counselor said, "You have to learn how to be a good person while working."
"Teacher, can't you think of a way?" Ding Ming said, "I really want to go to Nancheng Daily. I have even submitted an article. I..."
"The quota has been decided, and there is nothing for you to do." The counselor said, "Do you like writing articles and news, or do you prefer to stay in South City?"
"I..." Ding Ming certainly wanted to stay in Nancheng.
"If you want to work in a newspaper, you can go to newspapers in other places." The counselor said, "There are other newspaper companies in the province, and they are also in the city, just not in South City. Don't always focus on South City. South City is the provincial capital, and many people want to stay here. The competition is fierce."
Ding Ming's wife came to the school to make trouble, and the counselor dealt with it. The counselor didn't want Ding Ming to be sent back to the unit, or the unit said that their school didn't tell Ding Ming in advance that he was punished. There are so many students in the school, why should the school focus on Ding Ming to help him.
"You can consider other units and try to apply," said the counselor.
The government assigns jobs, so personal applications have little effect. But if you don’t give it a try, how can you know it won’t work?
Ding Ming understood what the counselor meant. These teachers said that on purpose, but it was actually useless. In order to go to Nancheng Daily, Ding Ming wrote a sincere letter of nearly ten thousand words. He thought that his punishment was just a small matter. As long as the leaders of Nancheng Daily loved talents, Nancheng Daily would still accept him.
The leaders of Nancheng Daily have read many people's articles. Ding Ming is old, his writing is not particularly good, not lively, and even more rigid. The leaders can't make an exception for Ding Ming, and can't let Ding Ming go. It's not like Ding Ming is the only one who can write such a thick letter. It's full of nonsense and meaningless arguments. Such a person is useless to Nancheng Daily.
If you can get a job by writing a letter like this, many people would write it, and they could even write better.
Coming out of the Humanities College office building, Ding Ming looked up at the sky, which made him hate Sun Cuihua even more. Sun Cuihua shouldn't have come to Nancheng. If Sun Cuihua hadn't come to Nancheng, he would have been warned at most, but not formally punished, and he would have had a chance to stay in Nancheng.
Now that things have turned out like this, those good companies in South City are unlikely to hire him, so he can only go somewhere else in disgrace.
Ding Ming was unwilling to accept this. He had finally been admitted to Nancheng University. He thought his future was bright. But now, he felt that his future was much darker. There was no light ahead. He wanted to find the light. The senior year had just begun and nothing was settled yet. Ding Ming had to look for opportunities. There was always someone who could help him.
In the afternoon, Su Xueqing went back to visit the Su family. Aunt Su lived in the Su family, so Su Xueqing had to go back as a junior. Ning Yanjing did not go there, he went to deal with other things.
Su Xueqing was wearing new clothes. In addition to the new clothes made for her by Old Lady Su, Ning Yanjing bought her many sets of clothes. Ning Yanjing said that they were dating and engaged, so they should buy more new clothes. There would be clothing expenses for the two of them to get married. Su Xueqing didn't say anything polite to Ning Yanjing, she accepted the clothes.
"Second Aunt." When Su Xueqing came back, she happened to see Second Aunt Su drying mustard greens in the yard.
Mustard greens are called "gaicai" in some places. This kind of vegetable is suitable for making pickled vegetables. First, cut the "gaicai" from the ground, peel off the leaves one by one, and put them in the sun. When the leaves wilt, you can start making pickled vegetables.
"Did you buy some radishes?" Su Xueqing asked. There was no vegetable garden at home, and the small space in the backyard was already very difficult to grow cucumbers and grapes.
"Yes, I just went out with your grandma to buy it." Aunt Su Er said, "Your grandma's pickled cabbage is delicious. Don't I have to stay here for a few days? It's just right, I can make it with your grandma."
Second Aunt Su is Su Xueqing's biological aunt. She is not like the first Aunt Su who always likes to talk about Su Xueqing. She occasionally says a word or two and then quickly shuts up. Second Aunt Su does not want to annoy her nephews and nieces, but the first Aunt Su likes to act like an elder aunt, looking superior and making others listen to her.
"Aren't you on holiday today? Why aren't you with your partner?" asked Aunt Su Er.
"We just had lunch with my classmate, and he went back for something." Su Xueqing said, "I came back to take a look. Second aunt, you are so busy every time you come here."
"It's just a small matter." Aunt Su said, "It's rare for me to come here, and I always bring something back with me."
Su's mother would take out some things for Second Aunt Su to take back, and everyone would feel good. Su's mother didn't say that Old Lady Su and others were too good to her daughter. Su's mother herself had a daughter, so she could understand the feeling.
"Are you going to have dinner at home?" asked Aunt Su.
"I'll go back and eat." Su Xueqing said, "I thought you should be at home, so I came to take a look."
Su Xueqing watched Aunt Su Er preparing the covered dish. She looked around to see if she should find a small stool to sit on and help her.
"You sit next to me." Second Aunt Su didn't see Su Xueqing peeling the leaves of the cabbage. There were fluffy thorns on the leaves, which were not sharp, but Su Xueqing was delicate and tender. Second Aunt Su glanced at Su Xueqing's hands. She felt that Su Xueqing was not suitable for doing these things. "You are in college now, you have a promising future, and you don't have to make these foods in the future. If you want to eat, ask your mother to make it for you, or you can buy it outside. It's simple."
Aunt Su didn't say that Su Xueqing didn't know how to do housework. So what if she doesn't know how to do housework? It's not like there are no other options.
"Among us, you are the best at studying." Aunt Su said, "Your brothers and sisters didn't set an example for you, so you should work hard on your own."
"I just don't want to work." Su Xueqing said. Seeing how hard her brothers and sisters worked, she also knew how to work hard.
"Your brother and sister...are all fine in the city." Aunt Su Er said, "Your cousin and the others have never thought about studying hard. When they were young, I asked them to study hard, but they refused to do so. It was useless to chase them for miles with bamboo strips. When they were a little older, we beat them again, and they ran even farther, not coming home for days and nights, and we had to go find them. Later, we were too lazy to beat them. They know they regret it now, but what's the use of regretting?"
Aunt Su Er put the leaves of the radish next to her, and Su Xueqing hung them out to dry. There were a few stools in the yard, and on the stools were long wooden boards. Su Xueqing placed the leaves of the radish on the boards, spreading them out one by one.
"Without a diploma, they have to do hard, tiring and unpaid work." Aunt Su Er said, "They envy others for having easy jobs. They also have opportunities. It's not that they don't have opportunities, but they don't seize them."
"My cousin and his sister are doing well now." Su Xueqing said, "As long as we can live a good life."
"I don't like to talk about them." Aunt Su Er said, "When I talk about them, they say their ears are getting calloused and they ignore my words. You'd better listen to your parents."
"There are times when I don't listen to them too." Su Xueqing said.
"Now that you've grown up, you should have your own ideas." Aunt Su Er said, "Your parents are not well educated. You really should think more about it yourself. What they say may not be right."
"Second aunt, you are really good at talking." Su Yanan came over with a few apples, with a smile on her face, "You didn't tell us that before?"
"If you had a higher level of education, I would tell you the same thing." Aunt Su said, "Xueqing is the most educated and the most capable person in our family. She is also very knowledgeable and knows things that we don't know. No matter how much we say, we are not as good as her. We cannot plan her future path. She has her own path to follow."
"Second aunt, you are a wise person." Su Yanan said, "You are hundreds of times better than the eldest aunt."
Su Yanan looked at Su Xueqing who was fiddling with the leaves of Gaicai, "Little sister, stop doing this. Do you want to be the Xishi of Gaicai by wearing such beautiful clothes and doing this?"
"Hey, second sister, what are you talking about?" Su Xueqing said.
"Stand aside, you don't have to do these tasks, I'll do it." Su Yanan joked, "Grandma said that she would pass on the secret of making sauerkraut to me, you don't want to learn it too, do you?"
"I can't learn it." Su Xueqing had watched Old Lady Su make sauerkraut more than once, but she could only eat it but not make it.
Eyes: I’ll see.
Hand: It’s useless, it’s useless!
Su Xueqing watched Old Lady Su and others making sauerkraut easily, but she tried to do it herself, but it didn't work because her hands wouldn't obey.
"Second Aunt has already said that you don't need to learn." Su Yanan said, "If you still want to learn these, how can we live? You have to leave some work for us to do, so that we don't have to do it all."
Su Yanan's movements were quick and she did the housework faster and better than Su Yanan. Su Xueqing simply didn't touch the covered dishes and let Su Yanan and Aunt Su handle it.
People in the same courtyard saw the Su family preparing the pickled cabbage and asked, "How many jars of pickled cabbage are you going to make?"
"Make more. There are so many brothers and sisters. If we share them, they will be gone." Aunt Su said.
"That's right. If we can't finish the food, we can sell it." The neighbor said, "It's convenient to live in the city. How many days do you plan to stay and when will you go back?"
"I'll go back in two or three days." said Aunt Su Er.
"Won't you stay a few more days?" asked the neighbor.
"Stay longer, that is, five or six days. Something happened at home, so I have to go back. I can't stay here all the time." Aunt Su said, "I came here this time to accompany my mother. I don't know when I can come next time."
"Your sister didn't come?" the neighbor asked again.
"She lives in this city and can come over anytime." Aunt Su said, "Don't bother her with this matter."
The Su family didn't make sauerkraut to sell. Nowadays, almost every household knows how to make sauerkraut. Sauerkraut must be delicious to attract buyers. Old Mrs. Su likes to make sauerkraut pancakes, which everyone in the family likes very much. The sauerkraut at home is usually eaten with porridge in the morning, and then sauerkraut pancakes are made.
Old Madam Su came out of the house and said, "I told you not to buy so much, but you insisted on buying so much and you haven't even packed it up yet."
"Not much." Aunt Su said, "How much can there be? It can fit in a jar."
"Your biological daughter is different." The neighbor looked at Mrs. Su, "Your stepdaughter really doesn't care about you."
Many people around her knew what kind of person Aunt Su was. When Aunt Su gave something to Old Man Su, they were worried that Old Lady Su would steal it. Aunt Su also asked people around her to let everyone know that she had given something.
It is not easy to be a stepmother. No matter how good a stepmother is, the stepdaughter will always think that she is not good enough and will hide everything from her.
After listening to her neighbor, Old Mrs. Su didn't say much to Aunt Su.
"Today's weather is good, it's a good time to dry the cabbage." The neighbor said, "Just dry it for two days."
"Let it dry first." said Mrs. Su.
Second Aunt Su did not ask Old Lady Su for help and did not let the old lady do any work that required bending over.
Su Xueqing went out to the street to buy some meat and some leeks. She didn't know how to roll out dumpling wrappers, so it was better to buy ready-made ones. Su Xueqing bought some and brought them back to the Su family. She had money in her hand, so she bought as much as she could.
"Why did you buy so much?" Aunt Su Er said, "I saw you were having trouble carrying them, so I thought you were going back home, but it turns out you were going to buy these things. Didn't you say you were going back home to eat? Why are you buying more?"
“I didn’t eat here, you can eat.” Su Xueqing said, “I don’t like eating dumplings.”
Dumplings have more fat, which makes them taste greasy. For others, they prefer to eat dumplings. Su Xueqing likes to eat flat meat, which is made from hand-hammered meat, and is particularly crispy and delicious.
It was impossible for Su Xueqing to buy lean meat and have her family pound it, so she simply bought dumplings.
"Leave the things here, I'll go back." Su Xueqing said.
"You bought so much dough? We have flour at home, we can make it." Old Mrs. Su took a look at the dumpling wrappers.
"It's troublesome to make dumpling wrappers. It's more convenient to just buy ready-made ones." Su Xueqing said, "Grandma, I'll go back first."
"Okay, be careful on the road." said Mrs. Su.
"You're really not eating at home?" Aunt Su said, "The table is smaller, so we can eat at the side."
"No." Su Xueqing said, "My boyfriend said he would have dinner with me tonight."
"Accompany your boyfriend, accompany your boyfriend." When Aunt Su Er heard this, she didn't say much.
Second Aunt Su originally planned to buy some meat and make something delicious for Old Lady Su, but she didn't expect that Su Xueqing had already thought of it.
"Mom, your concern for Xueqing is not in vain." Aunt Su said.
"She is sensible." said Mrs. Su.
Many people nearby envy the Su family for having a daughter like Su Xueqing, and they also hope that their own daughters can be as capable as Su Xueqing.
Amelia Su heard people outside saying that the Su family was going to make dumplings today. She thought about the leftovers from lunch. Amelia Su didn't want to eat those. She wanted to eat dumplings. When the Su family was making dumplings, Amelia Su went over. Su Yanan had gone home, and Amelia Su didn't stay in the rental house.
When Old Lady Su saw Amelia Su, how could she not understand what Amelia Su meant. Amelia Su took the initiative to make dumplings, could the Su family not let a pregnant woman eat at home?
Wei Dashan didn't go to the Su family. He didn't get off work. Even if he got off work, he was too embarrassed to go there to eat dumplings. As soon as his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house had something delicious, Wei Dashan rushed over. It was too outrageous. Wei Dashan's face was not as thick as Su Yamei's, and he knew to avoid it a little.
“You can make some egg and chive fillings.” Amelia Su said, “You can pack more since there are so many people here.”
"It's enough for tonight. Don't pack too much." Mrs. Su said, "It's a bit hot in this weather."
“Grandma, when will you buy a refrigerator?” Amelia Su asked, “If you buy a refrigerator, we can also put some things in it.”
"If you have money, go buy it. Do you know how much a refrigerator costs?" Old Mrs. Su said, "You just ask for it. Do you think our money is blown by the wind and it's easy to get it?"
There is still a refrigerator, why doesn’t Amelia Su ask this old lady to cut off the meat from her body and eat it?
Su Yanan came to take a look, and she also saw the meat that Su Xueqing bought, but she didn't stay to eat it. Su Yamei didn't bring anything, and she came to make dumplings and eat them, and she also said she wanted to make other fillings. Su Yamei treated her as their living ancestor.
Aunt Su looked at Amelia Su and also felt that Amelia Su was a little bit unreasonable, but she didn’t say much.
"I'll go fry some chives and eggs," said Mrs. Su. "It's better to make more."
Mrs. Su thought that if Amelia Su ate here, she didn't know if Wei Dashan would come to eat, as Wei Dashan had a big appetite. Mrs. Su felt uncomfortable, but she still went to make it. If there was not enough dough, she could make some, or buy some, which would cost less than buying meat.
After returning to the residence, Su Xueqing prepared to go out with Professor Guo to practice what they were going to use. They were not going to be there for long. They were only going to be there for three days, including the weekend, to go to other areas near the south city. They had to take a car to get there and then stay there.
We're going at the end of October, it's still early, there are still more than 20 days.
It goes without saying that you need to bring clothes and other things, as well as some papers and stationery.
"Start preparing these things so soon?" Ning Yanjing wondered.
"Prepare them first. It's not easy to prepare them at the last minute." Su Xueqing said, "Those stationery are the most important."
"There is still money. You need to take some out and keep it with you." Ning Yanjing said.
"Yeah." Su Xueqing nodded, "Jiaxuan said she's going too."
"She is going. She has paid the money, so she can go." Ning Yanjing said, "Not only has she paid the money, but our family will pay for most of the expenses for your trip this time."
Su Xueqing went there relying on her own strong abilities, while Ning Jiaxuan went there relying on her family's wealth.
"It's great to have money." Su Xueqing sighed, "You can't do academic research without funding. Without funding, you'll just stay where you are."
"So you can take out the money in your passbook and use it to enrich yourself while you are still in college." Ning Yanjing said, "Jiaxuan will tell you where she wants to go for research, and if she doesn't have money, she will just ask for it."
"She knows how to plan for herself, which is good." Su Xueqing said.
"You guys are going to do research, and she's going to have fun." Ning Yanjing said, "There are professionals here who can explain more to her. She treats you as tour guides."
"..." Su Xueqing looked at Ning Yanjing. Rich people can travel more carefully. This reminded Su Xueqing of the research trips that were listed on the Internet in her previous life. Going with the research team cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, and they were snapped up as soon as they were listed.
"You don't have to worry about her. She brought two security guards with her and paid the money." Ning Yanjing said, "Jiaxuan knows what to do. She didn't go there just because of you."
"I didn't say it was because of me." Su Xueqing had already discovered that Ning Jiaxuan liked to watch but didn't like to do anything. "It's better to watch more. I'll watch more too."
"I bought a refrigerator and will send it to grandma tomorrow." Ning Yanjing said, referring to Old Mrs. Su.
"How did you think of buying a refrigerator?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Isn't there a small empty space in the living room? It can be used to put a refrigerator." Ning Yanjing said, "I was planning to buy it a few days ago, but some things delayed it."
Ning Yanjing saw Su Xueqing watching TV. Although Su Xueqing didn't like watching TV very much and only watched for a while, Ning Yanjing thought of the situation of the Su family. Ning Yanjing originally wanted to give her a TV, but after thinking about it, he felt that the TV was not very useful, and it would be more practical to buy a refrigerator.
"The things my uncle and aunt bought can be placed in the refrigerator so they don't spoil easily." Ning Yanjing has a keen sense of smell and can smell it out if something is slightly spoiled.
When ordinary people put meat outside and it smells a bit, they don't throw it away, but continue to eat it. When Ning Yanjing and Su Xueqing went to the Su family for dinner, the Su family didn't cook the smelly meat for Ning Yanjing to eat. Ning Yanjing listened to them and said that it shouldn't go bad in the hot weather.
The Ning family has a refrigerator, and they basically eat fresh food. If the food is kept in the refrigerator for a long time, the taste will change and it will not taste good. There is also a refrigerator where Su Xueqing lives, where she can put milk and other things.
Aunt Li ordered fresh milk, and the milkman came every day. There were also some other things in the refrigerator. When Su Xueqing opened the refrigerator, there were basically cakes that could be eaten immediately.
"When we first started dating, you said we didn't need to buy too much. We were engaged, so we could buy some things to bring over." Ning Yanjing said, "We went over more often."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "I didn't even take out the money to buy it, you bought it."
The Ning family gave Su Xueqing a lot of money, but Su Xueqing hasn't spent much yet. The Ning family gave the betrothal money to the Su family, and the Su family didn't spend it recklessly. Su's mother meant to keep it for Su Xueqing's wedding, and she had to buy a dowry for Su Xueqing, and there was also money in the bottom of the box.
Mrs. Su San and the others did not think about that sum of money, and the family was not in such a difficult situation that they had to use that sum of money. If the situation was extremely difficult, it was not impossible to use a little of it and make up for it later.
"You keep the money from your side." Ning Yanjing said, "My money is also your money."
When the Su family was eating dumplings, Father Su saw Amelia Su, glanced at her, and said nothing else. After the Su family was full, Amelia Su took a lunch box and packed some dumplings. She packed them directly in front of Su Sansao.
"Dashan will be hungry when he comes back, so let him eat something. I don't have to cook for him separately." Su Yamei said.
If Su Yanan was here, Su Yanan might just pour out the dumplings in the lunch box. Does Amelia Su still have any shame?
Old Lady Su and others did not stop Amelia Su. They thought that with Amelia Su’s bad temper, it was good enough that Wei Dashan could tolerate Amelia Su and not divorce her.
After Amelia Su left with the dumplings, Second Aunt Su asked Old Lady Su in a low voice, “Has she been like this since she returned to the city?”
"That's exactly what happened." Old Mrs. Su sighed, "She thought she was suffering for us in the countryside."
"..." Aunt Su Er was speechless, "That's because of the policy."
"She has suffered so much after all, her parents love her a little bit." Old Mrs. Su said, "Even so, she still said that her parents favor her younger sister."
"I'm not saying anything harsh, but if Yamei stayed in the city, she wouldn't be able to find a partner as good as her younger sister." Aunt Su said, "People should look at what they can get, not what others can get."
"How is your family now?" asked Old Mrs. Su.
"Everything is fine, Mom, you don't have to worry about that." Aunt Su Er said, "I see there are a lot of things piled up in your room, let's reorganize it tomorrow. Let's throw away the unwanted and useless things, don't pile them up, they have a strong smell."
Second Aunt Su entered Old Lady Su's room. There was a strong smell, but fortunately she could still bear it.
"When you come, you just pack up your things." said Mrs. Su.
"I don't have any other skills, so I can only do these." Aunt Su said.
The next morning, Aunt Su rolled up her sleeves and packed up. Last year, when Grandpa Su passed away, she only packed up Grandpa Su's things, and there were many things that she hadn't had time to sort out. Aunt Su washed the bed boards and other things first. The sun was good, so they could be dried in the morning and at night.
All the wooden boxes in the room were turned out and washed, and some things were placed in the living room, which looked messy.
At this time, someone came to Su Xueqing's house carrying a refrigerator.
"Here, here." Aunt Su said, "Xueqing's home is here, but she doesn't live here now."
"That's right." The man moving the refrigerator said, "Your daughter bought a refrigerator and asked us to move it here. Where should she put it?"
"Oh, they were talking about a refrigerator yesterday, and now we have one." Aunt Su was wondering if they had said this in front of Su Xueqing. It seemed like they hadn't, but it seemed like they had. No matter what, they had already bought the refrigerator. "Mom, where should we put this refrigerator? Xueqing bought it."
Ning Yanjing did not tell these people that he bought it, but only asked them to say that Su Xueqing bought it. Ning Yanjing knew how to save face for Su Xueqing and did things beautifully.
"How to spend this money?" Old Mrs. Su said this with a smile on her face.
"Where should we put it?" the man moving the refrigerator asked again. The refrigerator was a bit heavy.
"Put it in the living room, put it in the living room." Old Mrs. Su said hurriedly, "Wait, I have to wipe that floor, I have to clean it."
Old Mrs. Su hurried to fetch some water, as this refrigerator was a precious item.
Xu's mother next door heard the noise, she walked out of the yard, and saw the man moving the refrigerator. My God, this is really a refrigerator, how expensive it must be.
"Do you want a ticket?" asked Xu's mother.
"No need for a ticket." The man moving the refrigerator said, "The price is not low. If you have a ticket, the price can be lower."
"..."Mother Xu looked at the refrigerator, which was still covered by a cardboard box, so she couldn't see it clearly.
After Mrs. Su cleaned the floor, the people who moved the refrigerator moved it in, opened the paper box of the refrigerator, and let Mrs. Su and the others take a look. The refrigerator can only be plugged in after a while, and cannot be plugged in immediately.
"What if it breaks?" said Old Mrs. Su. It's hard to tell now.
"If it's broken, we will return it for a replacement." The man moving the refrigerator said, "Don't worry about that. This refrigerator is in good condition, brand new, and there is no problem. If there is any problem, feel free to contact us."
The people who moved the refrigerator left quickly, and Xu's mother walked into the Su's house to take a look. She stared at the refrigerator. Xu's mother touched the refrigerator, then took her hand back, fearing that it would break.
"You can touch it." Old Madam Su said, "You have to touch it when you use it."
"Let me take a look." Xu's mother opened the refrigerator and looked inside. "It doesn't look like there's much space."
"Okay, we don't need such a big space. We didn't have a refrigerator before and there was no place to put it." Old Mrs. Su didn't dislike the refrigerator. This refrigerator was not small at all, and they didn't have to pay for it.
"Isn't your granddaughter still studying? Where did she get the money? It must have been given by her boyfriend." Mother Xu said, "It must be her boyfriend."
"Isn't her partner still her partner?" said Old Mrs. Su.
"..."Mother Xu looked embarrassed.
"Did your daughter really break up with someone?" Old Lady Su asked, "Has she found someone new?"
"Not yet, don't worry." Xu's mother said, "She has set up a stall recently and made some money. Maybe after a while, she will find someone suitable and we can get together."
Xu's mother looked at the refrigerator again. It would be great if she could have a refrigerator at home. When Xu's mother left Su's house, she walked to the door and looked back at the refrigerator.
"The place where Xueqing sleeps is now used to put the refrigerator." When Xu's mother returned home, she said to Xu Ruyun with emotion, "If you have a good partner, your family will be happy. As for you, don't just focus on doing business, you have to find a partner. Look at the partners that others have found, they all buy refrigerators for their homes."
"I don't need my partner to buy a refrigerator for our family. I can buy it myself." Xu Ruyun emphasized, "Isn't it just a refrigerator? We can do it ourselves. We can't rely on men for our whole life."
In this life, Xu Ruyun doesn't trust those men, she only trusts herself. She wants to find a partner, but she can't rely on him for her whole life. There are few reliable men in this world. The most important thing is interests, and money is the most trustworthy.
At this moment, Su Xueqing was in class at school. She sneezed and rubbed her nose.
"Have you caught a cold?" Tian Jiao asked Su Xueqing, "Recently, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it's easy to catch a cold. The ballroom dance club is holding an event tonight, do you want to go?"
