Chapter 33: Face puts the meat in front of you
Mei, the matchmaker, was originally very polite to Yu Li, and she was flattering Yu Li and treating the woman with more compliments. Mei, the matchmaker, did not expect Yu Li to be such a person, so her attitude towards Yu Li naturally changed.
Yu Li was angry. She wanted to turn around and leave, but if she left, how could she stay in Nancheng?
When Matchmaker Mei saw Yu Li's expression, she instantly understood that Yu Li wanted to stay in South City and she didn't want to give up this opportunity. Lin's mother asked Matchmaker Mei not to introduce Yu Li to anyone, but Matchmaker Mei didn't think so. Yu Li's conditions were not bad, as long as she wasn't introduced to people whose families were too powerful, Matchmaker Mei was worried that something would happen later and she would be retaliated against.
In Mei's matchmaker's opinion, this was just a minor quarrel between the young girls, and since Yu Li understood her mistake and stopped making a fuss about it, the matter would be easy to handle.
"Girl, if you still want to stay in South City, you should listen to my advice." Matchmaker Mei held Yu Li's hand, "If there is no such person, there are others. Others may not know about you and the future daughter-in-law of the Ning family. As for you, don't worry about the future daughter-in-law of the Ning family. Just take care of yourself."
"Is there any other way?" Yu Li asked, unwilling to give up.
"Okay, it can be done." Mei Matchmaker said, "Watch your mouth and don't say bad things about her. Others may not be able to find out everything if they ask. There are other reasons for that person moving out of the dormitory, such as she wants to live with her fiancé and it's inconvenient for her to be in school, understand? Don't say bad things about others like you did today. You are so sarcastic. Do you really think others don't know?"
"..." Yu Li pursed her lips, "Can it be better than this one?"
"That... that's not necessarily true." Matchmaker Mei said, "His father is a leader in the Grain Bureau, so sons like him are in great demand. When you said those words just now, I couldn't even make eye contact with you. It's just a small problem, you just need to be careful and don't offend anyone, isn't that enough? You're still saying those words, you're still young and don't know how serious it is."
Yu Li felt uncomfortable after being told this by Mei Matchmaker. Unfortunately, she couldn't find anyone else to replace Mei Matchmaker. Mei Matchmaker really helped people find partners, not fake ones. Some people said they were helping people, but they weren't helping people at all, they were trying to cheat people out of money. Yu Li asked Mei Matchmaker to help her find a partner, but she wouldn't take the money if it didn't work out. She would receive a red envelope from the matchmaker if it worked out.
Mei, the matchmaker, regards these college students as resources. She knows that many people like these college students. The matchmaker is not in a hurry to give out red envelopes. If you are impatient, you can't eat hot tofu.
Lin's mother and Lin Jincai were walking on the road, and Lin's mother got angry just thinking about it.
"What the hell? You've offended people, don't you know? And you want us to offend others as well." said Lin's mother.
At first, Lin's mother asked Aunt Zhao to go to the Su family to discuss the blind date. Later, Ning Yanjing was dating Su Xueqing, and Aunt Zhao said something unpleasant. Lin's mother was worried that the Su family would hate them and that the Ning family would retaliate against them. Fortunately, nothing serious has happened so far, and Lin's mother is slightly relieved.
When Lin's mother learned that Yu Li and Su Xueqing had a bad relationship, she would never let Yu Li in.
"Blind date, take your time, don't rush, don't look for random people." Lin's mother said, "She is a good girl from Nancheng University. She is a classmate of Su Xueqing. If you offend her, you will have a hard time in the future if you marry her."
"I don't like her." Lin Jincai said.
"I don't like her, that's right." Lin's mother said, "She's such a nasty thing. Looking at her like that, I think she wants us to tell her that Su Xueqing is wrong. What does Su Xueqing have to do with us? Su Xueqing is not your girlfriend."
"Yeah." Lin Jin nodded.
"She is still a college student. Such a college student is useless. She will offend people when she works after graduation." Lin's mother said, "If she wants to stay in South City, her husband needs to find a way for her. She is so good at offending people, who dares to help her? Fortunately, I asked a few more questions. If I hadn't asked a few more questions, I wouldn't have known she was such a thing."
Mother Lin cursed all the way, "I have to talk to the matchmaker, don't introduce someone like this next time. If it really doesn't work, students from other universities will do, but they can't be such bad-hearted people. They have no ability and don't know how to restrain themselves. Who does she think she is? Will others flatter her when they see her?"
"..." Lin Jincai listened to what his mother said without refutation. When Lin Jincai first met Yu Li, he did not feel moved by her, and even felt a little annoyed.
Lin Jincai thought that Su Xueqing was a good person, but such a good person had a partner, and the partner was not him. Lin Jincai felt sad. If only he had told Su Xueqing earlier that he wanted to be with her, it would have been better. If he had told her earlier... No, it would have been useless if he had told her earlier. Su Xueqing's age was too young. It was impossible for Su Xueqing to go on a blind date with him and be with him.
"Did you hear what mom said?" Lin's mother turned around and looked at Lin Jincai, "We can't keep a woman like that."
"I really can't have it." Lin Jincai said, "I will listen to my mother."
"Mom is doing this for your own good." said Lin's mother.
Matchmaker Mei invited Yu Li to dinner, but Yu Li didn't plan to pay, because she didn't order the dishes. Yu Li went back to her dorm, feeling very upset. She thought she was a student at Nancheng University, and the man would be very satisfied with her. She fantasized that she could pick and choose the best one. Reality slapped Yu Li in the face. Others were still picking on Yu Li, and it was not Yu Li's turn to choose someone. If it was Yu Li's turn to choose, it would probably be all ugly.
Xiang Yutong saw Yu Li coming back exhausted and wondered, "Who were you racing with?"
"I walked a long way." Yu Li did not say that she was going on a blind date, and she did not intend to tell Xiang Yutong. One more person going to Mei Matchmaker would mean one more competitor. There were not many good families, and Yu Li had to wait until she found a good partner before she could tell Xiang Yutong.
"Take your time." Xiang Yutong said.
At about 4:30 in the evening, Ning Yanjing went to Nancheng University to pick up Su Xueqing. The rest of the Su family had already gone to Aunt Su's place. Su's mother bought some meat and vegetables. Since there were many people in the family, she brought more things with her. The more gifts, the less blame.
Amelia Su and her husband went there, and Wei Dashan was supposed to go to work and switch shifts with others. It was Wei Dashan's first time to have dinner at Aunt Su's house, and he felt embarrassed not to come. It was not a matter of coming later or not, but respecting the elders.
"Sit down and chat." Aunt Su said. She has two sons and two daughters, and both daughters are married. The eldest son and the second daughter went to the countryside as educated youth and both got married in the countryside. The third daughter went to the countryside to work in the production team and got married after returning to the city. The youngest son is older than Su Xueqing and has not yet married.
Aunt Su's third daughter, Yu Donghua, came to help Aunt Su cook. Yu Donghua was born in winter and was named Donghua by her family. Yu Donghua's elder sister was born in spring and was named Chunhua.
Yu Donghua was wearing an apron and was busy in the kitchen.
"Aunt, you brought these dishes. Today's dinner is much more sumptuous." Yu Donghua said with a smile, without stopping her hands.
"You work hard, you have to cook." Su's mother said.
"Early in the morning, my mother caught and killed chickens, waiting for grandma to come." Yu Donghua said, "Aunt, you sit down, I will do it."
"It's okay, let's do it together." said Su's mother.
Su's mother, Su's second aunt and others helped to clean up, and someone went to carry the table to the yard. This big table was usually put away, and was moved out when there were guests at home. Su's third sister-in-law helped to wipe the table and clean it.
Amelia Su was pregnant, so she sat next to them. There were many people doing things, so Wei Dashan didn't need to help. Wei Dashan simply stayed by Amelia Su's side. Aunt Su brought out melon seeds and peanuts early. Su Yanan and his wife brought their youngest daughter over, and the other two children were taken care of by Su Yanan's mother-in-law.
“Has Xueqing not arrived yet?” Amelia Su asked.
Aunt Su and others didn’t ask this, Amelia Su asked first.
"Didn't she say she had to go to class?" Su Yanan said, "She'll be late after school, so she'll have to come later."
"Our Shanshan has asked for leave." Amelia Su said.
"Can kindergarten be compared with university?" Su Yanan said.
“Isn’t it easier to skip classes in college?” Amelia Su said, “I heard that some people skipped classes.”
Su Yanan glanced at Amelia Su, “Don’t you need to give your son in your belly a good prenatal education? He hasn’t been born yet, and you said you skipped classes.”
“…” Amelia Su’s expression changed slightly. She didn’t want her son to skip classes, and she wanted her son to be more powerful than Amelia Su.
Su Yanan saw that Amelia Su's face had changed, and then said, "Teach by example, elder sister, if you want your son to not only know how to farm in the future, you have to start preparing early. What kind of kindergarten, elementary school and junior high school the child goes to, all have an impact. Good schools have expensive tuition fees, especially those private schools. The tuition fee for one semester is scary."
When Amelia Su and Ning Yanjing arrived at Aunt Su's house, Amelia Su had already shut her mouth and said nothing. Amelia Su came late, and she didn't know what Amelia Su said. Ning Yanjing bought some wine and roast goose. He asked Amelia Su if she wanted to buy anything else. He wanted to buy more, but Amelia Su said no.
Aunt Su Er doesn't live in South City, but Aunt Su Xiao does. Now both of them eat there, so it's not appropriate for Ning Yanjing to buy too much. An appropriate gift is enough to make people feel relaxed and happy.
"How come you brought so many things?" Aunt Su said with a smile, "Your mother and the others have already brought a lot of things."
"It's not much, just a token of my appreciation." Su Xueqing said, "Please cut this roast goose, auntie."
Su Xueqing thought that Aunt Su should have chickens and ducks, but not roast goose. Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing decided to buy a large roast goose, but they hadn't even cut it yet.
"Please sit down, please sit down." Aunt Su said, "You guys brought some food here to share the table."
Aunt Su’s attitude towards Amelia Su was very good. Amelia Su looked at this scene and thought that she did not receive such a warm reception from Aunt Su.
It was almost six o'clock when Su Xueqing and the others arrived here. The teacher's class was a little late, and it took a little time to buy things on the way, so they came here at this time. Aunt Su's family had lights in the yard, and they had already turned on the lights.
The weather was good today, it didn't rain, and we could eat in the yard. Because there were so many people, we divided the table into two. The big table in the yard and the small table in the living room. Su Xueqing was left to eat at the big table, Su Yamei went to the small table, and Wei Dashan and Tian Guohua were also at the big table.
In the past, Su Xueqing also ate at the small table. After she was admitted to the university, when she came to eat, the Yu family asked Su Xueqing to go to the big table, which was the main table. Su Xueqing didn't care, she could eat at the small table. This time, Ning Yanjing was there, so Su Xueqing sat with Ning Yanjing. Second Aunt Su and Old Lady Su sat at the big table, and Su's mother was still helping to serve the dishes.
Aunt Su asked Su's mother to eat first, but Su's mother didn't go first.
Su Yanan sat with Su Yamei. Su Yanan didn't think there was anything wrong with such a seat. There was no shortage of dishes, and they could still eat those dishes. They women didn't drink, so it was meaningless to sit there.
"Drink, drink." Uncle Su invited Ning Yanjing to drink.
"I drink beverages." Ning Yanjing said, "I don't drink alcohol."
"Okay, you drink the drink." Uncle Su did not force Ning Yanjing.
It's lively to see so many people sitting together, chatting about family matters and talking about work.
Uncle Su likes to drink. He drank the wine that Ning Yanjing brought and praised it, "It's really good, very good!"
"It's okay." Ning Yanjing bought good wines. When inviting elders to drink, you can't buy bad wines.
"Drink less." When Aunt Su brought the dishes over, she specifically reminded Uncle Su.
"Aunt, please sit down and eat quickly." Su Xueqing said.
"You guys eat." Aunt Su said, "Eat your fill."
Aunt Su was busy all the time. When the dishes were almost served, Su's mother sat down and let Aunt Su and the others get busy.
Wei Dashan drank two sips of wine and stopped drinking. Amelia Su was pregnant, and Wei Dashan couldn't get drunk all over his body.
After finishing the meal, everyone sat for a while and then went back. When they came here, Su's father borrowed a tricycle and rode it here. A small tricycle couldn't hold so many people, so some people came by bus. If they didn't leave soon, the bus would stop.
Ning Yanjing's car could still accommodate people. The driver drove, Ning Yanjing and Su Xueqing sat in the back, and there was still room for two people. Second Aunt Su, Old Lady Su, and Wei Shanshan followed Ning Yanjing's car. Father Su, Third Brother Su, Third Sister Su, and Mother Su rode tricycles back. Su Yamei and Wei Dashan followed Su Yanan and the others and called a car together, so they didn't have to take the bus.
Amelia Su wanted to take Ning Yanjing's car, but she didn't ask, and Old Lady Su and others didn't take the initiative to ask her to take Ning Yanjing's car. Old Lady Su and others were worried that Amelia Su would speak without thinking, so it would be better to let Amelia Su take another car.
The car was driving fast. The driver first took Old Lady Su and others home, and then took Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing home.
Old Mrs. Su and Second Aunt Su took Wei Shanshan out of the car. Old Mrs. Su said with emotion, "The car is really fast and comfortable to sit in."
"It costs money." Aunt Su Er said, "How much does a car cost? A tricycle doesn't cost that much. A car also costs money for gas. How can an ordinary family afford it?"
Su Yanan and his wife arrived home first, and Tian Guohua paid directly, without Su Yamei and her husband having to pay again. For a moment, Su Yanan wanted to say that the family would pay half, but then she thought better of it. Everyone was happy today, and there was no need to make everyone uncomfortable at this time.
Even so, Amelia Su still talked about Su Yanan when she returned home.
"Pretending, too much." Amelia Su said, "She, Su Yanan, married a city person, she is rich."
"What are you pretending for?" Wei Dashan didn't understand.
"Just now, she said they had paid all the money. Look how proud she was." Amelia Su said.
"..." Wei Dashan didn't see how proud Su Yanan was, "Isn't it a good thing that they pay?"
Wei Dashan wanted to pay half, but Amelia Su was still holding Wei Dashan back at that time.
"Good news? Haha." Amelia Su said, "Su Yanan is showing off to me, showing off that she is rich. As for me, I married a useless person like you, who has no house and no money."
"We have a house in the countryside." said Wei Dashan.
“A broken house in the countryside, is it considered a house?” Amelia Su said, “We come to the city, but we can’t live in it, it’s just a decoration. A broken house in the countryside can’t be rented out.”
“……”Wei Dashan didn’t dare to speak.
"My aunt and uncle are so enthusiastic about Amelia Su's boyfriend, what about you?" Amelia Su said, "You should be more motivated."
Wei Dashan was silent. What could he achieve as a temporary porter? It was difficult for Wei Dashan to become a formal worker, so he could only work as a worker.
After the Su family left, Aunt Su and Yu Donghua and others cleaned the table and washed the dishes. There were still some uneaten things left, which had to be sorted out and put away. The weather was not very hot at this time, so they could leave it alone for a while.
"Mom, Xueqing's boyfriend is really generous." Yu Donghua said, "How much did such a big roast goose and wine cost? I heard they also bought a refrigerator for my uncle."
"Their family is rich, it's their business." Aunt Su said, "Your uncle used to have a hard life, but his life has gradually improved over the years."
"It will be better in the future." Yu Donghua said, "I think Xueqing is a filial person. She will definitely help her parents more in the future."
"Yes, we can." said Aunt Su.
"I think my cousin..." Yu Donghua paused, "She...she doesn't look very well."
"Ah, her." Aunt Su sighed, "Your second sister went to the countryside as an educated youth and got married there. She didn't return to the city and is still in the countryside. I wonder how your second sister is doing?"
"You won't starve to death." Yu Donghua said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Not everyone can return to the city. Many people still stay in the countryside. Life in the countryside is a little harder, but it's still manageable. If you don't have a job, it won't work if you return to the city now."
After returning to the city, Yu Donghua quickly found someone to marry. Without a job and no salary, she couldn't stay at home and let her parents support her. Yu Donghua was very satisfied that the man had a room of more than ten square meters. As long as the man had a job and could support the family, other things were not that important.
"Second aunt will go back tomorrow." Yu Donghua said.
"Yes." Aunt Su was still washing dishes, and she did not call Aunt Su over.
Aunt Su originally wanted to call Aunt Su, but was stopped by Yu Donghua. Su Xueqing did not invite Aunt Su to the engagement party. Those people in the Su family must not want to see Aunt Su, so they should not have invited Aunt Su to come. Aunt Su, Aunt Su, and Father Su are all the biological children of Mrs. Su, and they are not born to the same mother as Aunt Su.
In the past, Aunt Su often brought this up, saying that she was a stepdaughter and Mrs. Su was a stepmother. When Yu Donghua was a child, she heard Aunt Su say that when Grandpa Su passed away, Aunt Su didn't think about burying Grandpa Su quickly, but wanted to ask Mrs. Su to take out the things that Grandpa Su left behind and divide them up. Grandpa Su had not worked for many years and had a little pension, but he needed money to live. According to customs, those things were left to the male, that is, to Su's father. If there were a lot of things, it would be okay for Aunt Su to fight for them, but the key was that there were not many things.
"Mom, you should have less contact with my aunt in the future." Yu Donghua said, "My aunt is not a kind person."
"Yeah." Aunt Su nodded.
On a new day, Ning Yanjing asked the driver to drive Aunt Su to the train station, and Old Lady Su got in the car to see Aunt Su off. Ning Yanjing and Su Xueqing were busy and didn't come to see her off, so Ning Yanjing had already made arrangements and bought some things in advance for the driver to give to Aunt Su.
In the waiting hall of the train station, Old Mrs. Su and Second Aunt Su were waiting for the train together.
"Mom, you don't have to come. I can take the bus by myself." Aunt Su said.
"It's rare to see you, and you have a car." Mrs. Su said, "The driver is waiting, I will go back with him later."
"Mom, if the eldest sister causes trouble for you, please don't bear it." Aunt Su Er said, "Her biological mother died two years ago, and you married Dad."
Whenever Second Aunt Su thought of the ugly words said by First Aunt Su, she wanted to tear the face of First Aunt Su to pieces. Old Master Su took care of a baby by himself for two years. He couldn't stand it anymore and went on a blind date. Through the matchmaker's introduction, he met Old Lady Su.
"It's true that you are her stepmother, but you didn't make things difficult for her." Aunt Su said, "If you really made things difficult for her in that era, would she still be alive?"
"Don't talk about her." said Mrs. Su.
"Xueqing did a good job. She didn't invite my eldest sister to her engagement party." Aunt Su said, "My eldest sister has a bad temper. This is what she deserves."
When Second Aunt Su came to South City, First Aunt Su did not come to see Second Aunt Su. Second Aunt Su did not marry in South City, but married somewhere else, and her in-laws were not very rich. First Aunt Su thought Second Aunt Su was useless to her, and she would not pay much attention to Second Aunt Su.
"Also, Yamei always comes here to eat. Forget it when she is pregnant. Wait until she has the baby and is out of confinement. Don't let her do this." Aunt Su Er said, "I wanted to talk to her about it, but she is pregnant and it is difficult to say it."
Aunt Su was worried that if time went on for a long time, Aunt Su would be unhappy. Amelia Su was too wrong. She didn't bring any delicious food to her parents' home, but instead kept taking advantage of her parents' home.
"Wait until she gives birth to a child." Old Madam Su said, "I hope she gives birth to a boy. With a son, she will know how to make money."
"I hope she can figure it out later." Aunt Su Er said.
Aunt Su got on the train, and then Old Lady Su took the train back. But Old Lady Su did not go back to the Su family, but went to Su Xueqing's place. Su Xueqing happened to come back from school, and she warmly invited Old Lady Su to come in and sit down.
"Grandma, eat here." Su Xueqing said.
"I can go back and eat." said Mrs. Su.
"It's okay, let Aunt Li do more." Su Xueqing said.
It was not yet eleven o'clock, and Aunt Li was preparing to cook. When she heard Su Xueqing's words, she said, "I'll cook more."
"Okay." Su Xueqing nodded.
There are vegetables in the refrigerator, so Aunt Li can prepare some extra dishes. If there are guests coming, she can also make more dishes. Ning Yanjing basically comes back to eat in the morning and evening. Su Xueqing eats at noon, and Ning Jiaxuan rarely comes over.
Ning Jiaxuan had skipped many classes in just a month of this study. She was not interested in those courses and preferred to crawl to sleep in class. Ning Jiaxuan thought that it would be better for her to sleep at home instead of sleeping all the time. If that didn't work, she could find someone to tutor her.
"When your second aunt left, she praised you and your girlfriend." Old Lady Su said, "You even prepared something for her."
"It wasn't prepared by me, it was prepared by Yan Jing." Su Xueqing said, "I even forgot to prepare some things."
Su Xueqing didn't remember those interpersonal relationships. She hadn't even gotten married yet, so how could she have thought about it? According to customs, unmarried girls don't need to prepare those things. Ning Yanjing prepared them, and he helped Su Xueqing save face.
"Your partner is really good." Old Mrs. Su sighed, "You have spent a lot of money during this period, the refrigerator and these things."
Old Mrs. Su wanted to give Su Xueqing some money, but unfortunately she didn't have much money. Besides, Su Xueqing would never accept the money from Old Mrs. Su.
The Su Xueqing of today is not the Su Xueqing of the past. She is not short of money and does not need her family to give her money.
"We have a refrigerator here." Su Xueqing said.
"You can give us the old refrigerator." said Mrs. Su.
"This refrigerator has been used for more than a year." Su Xueqing said, "It's still very new, but how can I give it to someone as a gift? Yan Jing is rich, so he doesn't need this little money."
"He doesn't need it, but others will talk about you," said Old Mrs. Su.
"Let them talk." Su Xueqing said, "There's a big gap between Yan Jing and I in family background. I know that, and everyone knows that. If I don't take anything back, people will say that I secretly gave money to my parents. Since I can't stop others from talking, I might as well enjoy it early. Grandma, don't worry, I'm still in college now. After I graduate, I'll make them look at me with new eyes."
"He hasn't even graduated yet, and yet he keeps waiting." said Mrs. Su.
"I'm confident, not blindly confident." Su Xueqing said, "I've made up my mind. I'll go to the School of Architecture after graduation. I'm learning more from my teacher now. I'll do something if I can to show them what I can do. With the reform and opening up, there's a lot of work to be done. If we want to prosper, we must build a lot of buildings. I can be of great use."
"Yes, you are very useful." Mrs. Su said, "You are the most useful person in our family."
"We all have our own strengths, and we shine in our respective fields." Su Xueqing said. She did not say that other people in the family were not good enough. Everyone has something they are good at.
Old Mrs. Su looked at Amelia Su so modestly, and she thought how great it would be if Amelia Su could be like Amelia Su. Among the grandchildren, Amelia Su was the most troublesome.
In the evening, Mrs. Su went to pick up Wei Shanshan. When she returned home, Mrs. Su San did not start cooking. Mrs. Su San went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that she was pregnant. Mrs. Su San just returned home. She did not stop cooking because she was pregnant. She still went to the kitchen.
Mrs. Su thought that she was not Amelia Su, and she still wanted to live a good life. Being pregnant did not mean she could not work. Mrs. Su took out a piece of meat from the refrigerator. She wanted to fry some meat. The doctor said that pregnant women had to supplement their nutrition and eat more meat.
"Cooking, and still laughing?" When Old Mrs. Su went to the kitchen, she saw Third Sister-in-law Su laughing there.
"Grandma, you are going to be a great-grandmother again." said Mrs. Su San.
"Really?" Old Mrs. Su's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true." Mrs. Su said, "I went to the hospital today and had a check-up. The doctor said I'm pregnant. Calculating the time, it's almost two months."
"Okay, okay." Old Mrs. Su nodded. She wanted to hold her great-grandson, or great-granddaughter would be fine.
At dinner time, Amelia Su came again.
Mrs. Su placed the meat directly in front of her, and Amelia Su reached out to put the meat in front of her. Old Mrs. Su patted Amelia Su’s hand with chopsticks.
"Your sister-in-law is pregnant and needs some nourishment." Old Mrs. Su said frankly.
"Pregnant?" Su Yamei frowned. She got pregnant after being married to Wei Dashan for several years, but her third brother's wife is pregnant now?
"Yes, I went to the hospital for a checkup." Mrs. Su said, "The doctor said I need to take some supplements."
"Eat more." Old Mrs. Su picked up some meat for Su San's wife.
Mother Su was very happy to hear this. "Tomorrow morning, cook an extra egg for yourself. Third brother, take care of your wife more."
The Su family was particularly happy, even happier than when they knew Amelia Su was pregnant. Amelia Su felt that she was being left out, but it was useless because the child in her belly did not have the surname Su.
"Shanshan, eat meat." Mrs. Su picked up a piece of meat for Wei Shanshan.
No one paid much attention to Wei Shanshan. She ate her rice by herself. Mrs. Su San saw it and she couldn't bear to see her child suffer like this.
Amelia Su couldn’t put the meat in front of her, and she was angry, “Can you eat so much meat by yourself?”
"Sister, you ate a lot of meat in the past two days." said Mrs. Su.
“I…” Amelia Su opened her mouth but didn’t say anything.
"Yamei, if it doesn't work, go back and cook for yourself. Why are you talking so much?" Su's mother said.
“I have morning sickness and feel uncomfortable. I can’t cook.” Amelia Su said, “Eat here.”
Amelia Su thought that since Third Sister-in-law Su was pregnant, the Su family would definitely prepare more delicious food, and she couldn’t go back to cook.
Su Xueqing didn't know about Su Sansao's pregnancy yet, so she ate with Ning Yanjing. Aunt Li rarely sat with them to eat, she always cooked some dishes and ate at another small table.
"Grandma praises you, Second Aunt praises you, they all praise you." After dinner, Su Xueqing took a walk with Ning Yanjing, holding hands.
Ning Yanjing's palms are big, while Su Xueqing's hands appear small, delicate and soft.
"What do you say?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"Grandma also said that I would be criticized for taking too many things back." Su Xueqing said, "I said as long as you are not unhappy and your parents are not unhappy, why bother about others' happiness or not. Some people always like to meddle in other people's affairs and like to talk too much."
"You're right, we are a family, as long as we are happy." Ning Yanjing held Su Xueqing's hand tightly, his heart warmed. He felt that he played a big role in Su Xueqing's life, and he could be relied on by her. "No matter how much money you have, it can't buy happiness. Don't be stupid and stare at what others think of you. No matter how well you do, they think you are constantly chasing me and trying to please me."
Ning Yanjing loves Su Xueqing very much, but others don't think so. They think Ning Yanjing is now immersed in Su Xueqing's beauty, and after a while, Ning Yanjing will get tired of her and look for another woman. Ning Yanjing is not unfaithful, and he and Su Xueqing are first love, but others still speculate so.
Some people joked that Ning Yanjing dumped Amelia Su, and they could have some fun with Amelia Su.
After hearing this, Ning Yanjing not only made things difficult for them in business, but also put a sack on them and beat them. It was not enough to just lose money, the money could be earned back, and they had to feel the pain physically as well.
Ning Yanjing didn't tell Su Xueqing about these things, Su Xueqing didn't need to know.
"Do what you want according to your preferences." Ning Yanjing said.
"As for me, I want to do architectural design." Su Xueqing said, "I want to design local landmark buildings. When people come to our city to travel, they all want to go and see the buildings. If they don't see the building, they will say that their trip was in vain and they have to come again."
When Su Xueqing talked about these things, her eyes lit up.
Ning Yanjing looked at Su Xueqing. He knew that Su Xueqing loved architecture.
"Of course you can." Ning Yanjing said.
"I have drawn some design drawings." Su Xueqing said, "I will show them to the teacher some other day."
"Not given now?" Ning Yanjing puzzled.
"No." Su Xueqing shook her head. "I'm going to participate in the practice with Teacher Guo. It's not appropriate to let the teacher take a look at it now. It's easy for the teacher to think that I'm too ambitious. The teacher may not read it. After I finish the practice and write the report, I will let the teacher take a look."
After Su Xueqing recovered her past life memories, she had many ideas. In her past life, Su Xueqing designed many buildings, some of which were very famous. Su Xueqing had to follow the path of her past life step by step and prove herself with her strength.
"Have you planned everything?" Ning Yanjing said, "I can find someone to help you take a look."
"No, I'll show it to the teacher." Su Xueqing said, "When I need your help, I will not be polite. Now I don't need your help, I can find a teacher myself. The teacher is in front of me, but I still need to find other people. The teacher will think that I am not confident enough. I have to put pressure on them through your family to let them know that I have a strong backer."
"Okay, I won't make any move, and you just fly up into the sky." Ning Yanjing said.
"You trust me so much?" Su Xueqing was outside.
"If I don't believe you, who should I believe?" Ning Yanjing reached out and rubbed Su Xueqing's head. "I have met many people. When I first saw you, I saw your beauty first, but I also saw your temperament. At that time, I thought you must be a tough person."
"You can see so much?" Su Xueqing was puzzled. "This is the first time we meet..."
"To be precise, it was my first time looking at you, not your first time looking at me." Ning Yanjing said.
"Oh." Su Xueqing responded.
In the evening, Wei Dashan returned home, and Amelia Su told Wei Dashan with an unhappy expression that Mrs. Su was pregnant.
"She actually got pregnant at this time." Amelia Su said, "As soon as she got pregnant, she put the meat directly in front of her, not in the middle. I had to stretch my hand a little to grab the meat."
"Why don't you just eat at home instead of going over there?" Wei Dashan said, "I'll buy you some meat."
“How much meat can you buy with your salary?” Amelia Su said, “There are three people working in their family.”
"My sister-in-law and grandma don't have jobs, and Shanshan is also there..."
"They do odd jobs." Amelia Su said, "They have a lot of money. I'll go over and eat a little, not all of it."
"Come back to eat, don't go over there." Wei Dashan said with a hint of pleading in his tone.
“No, I still have to go over to eat.” Amelia Su said, “This is what my parents owe me. I’ll eat it at home after the baby is born.”
“…” Wei Dashan had no choice, he couldn’t persuade Amelia Su.
At this moment, Aunt Su Er had already returned home. When her family saw the things she brought, they were puzzled and asked, "Did you buy these?"
"No, it was given to me by Xueqing's boyfriend." Aunt Su Er said, "He asked the driver to drive me to the train station, and he gave me the gift this morning."
It took about five and a half hours to get from Nancheng to Aunt Su's home by green train.
"When I was at my mother's house, Xueqing bought meat several times. She also bought a refrigerator for the family." Aunt Su Er said, "Xueqing is generous and willing to spend money."
"Isn't she a student?" said Uncle Su.
"It was a student." Aunt Su Er said, "Her boyfriend gave it to her. I originally thought she would bow her head in front of her boyfriend, but after seeing this, it turns out that's not the case."
Aunt Su saw Su Xueqing's sincere smile, and she was really happy, not pretending. From some of Ning Yanjing's little actions, it can be seen that Ning Yanjing treats Su Xueqing well. The relationship between young lovers is good, which is more important than anything else.
Early in the morning, matchmaker Mei went to Lin's house again and brought some photos to show Lin's mother.
"There are polytechnic schools and normal colleges. Take a look." Mei the matchmaker said.
"Don't have those nasty problems this time." said Lin's mother.
"No, no, we found them according to your requirements." Mei Matchmaker said, "I can't cheat you. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing before. If I had known earlier, I would never have introduced it to your son."
Lin Jincai and Su Xueqing did not have a successful blind date, but the Lin family sent someone to tell everyone, and many people knew about it. If Lin Jincai were to date Yu Li, who had a conflict with Su Xueqing, it would be obvious to others that the Lin family had something against the Su family.
Yu Li can marry someone else but not Lin Jincai.
"I know exactly what I'm doing." Mei the matchmaker said, "I haven't been matchmaking for a day or two, I have to satisfy you. This girl from the Normal School is good, she will be a teacher directly after graduation. Is your unit or school short of teachers? You can just let her go, it's easier. She can also take care of the children and teach them, so you don't have to ask others to tutor them. The children of teachers start early and have better academic performance."
Matchmaker Mei introduced those people one by one. She praised them to the skies, saying how good those girls were and how capable they were of taking care of their families.
"The girl is staying in the city with your family. She will definitely listen to you at home. If you say go east, she will definitely not dare to go west." Mei Matchmaker said, "Let your son take a look and choose. If you think that just looking at the photo is not enough, you can also see the person in person. You can take a look."
We haven't settled down yet, we're just seeing each other, it doesn't count as being in multiple relationships.
Mei Matchmaker also told those girls that before settling down, meeting more people would increase the success rate. To put it bluntly, blind dating is like a high-end vegetable market, and you still have to be selective.
"Look at them all." Lin's mother said, "I have to check it out too. It won't be the same as last time."
Lin's mother was not very confident in the matchmaker, fearing that he had hidden something in order to ensure the success of the matchmaking.
At the weekend, Su Xueqing went back to the Su family. When she learned that Third Sister-in-law Su was pregnant, she was very happy. "I didn't know. I didn't bring you a gift. I came back empty-handed."
