Chapter 34 Two-Way Choice What holiday is today?
"You have brought so many things home. You don't have to bring things every time you come back." Mrs. Su said, "You haven't married yet. Even if you are married, you don't have to do this."
Mrs. Su looked around and whispered, "Your eldest sister came back to eat empty-handed more than once or twice. I put the meat directly in front of me. My parents didn't say no, and my grandmother told me to eat more meat. But my eldest sister still came. She stretched out her hand to grab the meat, but she didn't even think to grab a piece of meat for her daughter."
There is no child who doesn’t like to eat meat, they just don’t dare to pick it up.
Wei Shanshan stayed at the Su family very carefully, and Su Sansao could feel it. Sometimes Su Sansao picked up some food for Wei Shanshan, but Wei Shanshan still didn't pick up enough meat. When the adults asked Wei Shanshan to pick up some, she would pick up a piece.
"..." Su Xueqing's mouth twitched slightly, her elder sister really was, "Put it in front of you, you have a baby in your belly, the reason is legitimate."
"To be honest, I don't want to put the meat in front of me. Let's all eat together. Put it in the middle." Mrs. Su said, "Put it in the middle. Your eldest sister will just pick up the plate and put most of it into her own bowl."
Mrs. Su was unhappy when she saw Amelia Su eating meat enthusiastically. Her husband, her parents-in-law, and the people who worked didn't eat two pieces of meat. Instead of letting Amelia Su eat it, it would be better for her to eat it herself, and Mrs. Su would give more to her children.
"When elder sister comes to eat, you should cook less. Wait until she comes back, then you can take it out and eat it." Su Xueqing said.
"I thought so too." Mrs. Su said, "Where did you get so much meat? You bought meat these few times, so we ate more. On weekdays, vegetables and radishes are considered good dishes."
Nowadays, few people eat meat. When the meat is stewed, the aroma of the meat is very obvious. People can find out which family is cooking the meat by just sniffing and looking around.
"I plan to buy some eggs and make some steamed eggs with minced meat." Third Sister Su said, "I will eat them secretly and not give them to your eldest sister."
“Okay, that’s totally fine.” Amelia Su didn’t think that what Third Sister Su did was wrong, it was just that Amelia Su’s behavior was too weird.
If Wei Dashan and his wife had brought money to the Su family, it would be fine for Amelia Su to eat at the Su family, but Amelia Su held on to the money tightly. Amelia Su knew how much money Wei Dashan made. Wei Dashan couldn't give money to the Su family even if he wanted to, and Amelia Su wouldn't let him.
"I'll ask your third brother to cut the meat into minced meat and freeze it in the refrigerator, and take it out a little at a time." Third Sister Su said, "At meals, eat it the same as before. Your eldest sister can still eat it when she comes over, with less meat, but it's not that you can't eat it. If you come over, I will definitely serve it all."
"I eat meat." Su Xueqing said, "Every day."
Ning Yanjing was responsible for the food expenses, not Su Xueqing. It was impossible for Su Xueqing to say that she could eat so many delicious foods, and it would be inappropriate for her to ask her family to come over to eat.
Su Xueqing did not let her family members go over too much. She wanted to make sure that things were clearly divided, to avoid confusion later and cause big problems.
"Third sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about me. When I came here, I could eat the vegetables and radishes." Su Xueqing said, "If I don't like it, I'll eat less and go back to eat again. It's not a big deal, it's okay."
Su Xueqing took out her wallet, took out ten yuan from it and handed it to Su Sansao, "Third sister-in-law, take it and buy something to eat."
"No, no." Mrs. Su refused.
"Take it." Su Xueqing stuffed the money into Su Sansao's hand, "Eldest sister often comes to eat, you can eat quietly and eat as much as you can. This is to buy food for you, don't worry about eldest sister."
"When you get pregnant and give birth, we may not have the money to give you." said Mrs. Su.
"It's okay. Do I need this money?" Su Xueqing said, "When I graduate and work, I will make money by myself, so I won't need it."
"You are so good. You got into university and have plans for your future." Mrs. Su was particularly envious of Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing had managed everything well and didn't need others to worry about her at all.
"Have a goal and move forward." Su Xueqing said, "If you don't work hard, it won't work. For a family like us, we can only be useful if we move forward on our own."
As for marrying a good man, you can marry a good man, but you also have to be capable. To put it bluntly, if you get divorced in the future, you can still make a living if you have the ability. If you don't have the ability, how can you live with the little money that the man gives you?
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Su Xueqing clearly understands her own situation. People must have self-knowledge and have plans.
"It's difficult. Everyone knows that they need to move up, and there are only a few people who have done so." Mrs. Su said, "Look at us. We talk about working hard all day long, but we're still like this. It's enough to just be able to make a living. We are an ordinary family. We have some skills, not much, but that's enough."
Mrs. Su San is very content. Not everyone is Su Xueqing. There are only a few people like Su Xueqing in their alley.
When Amelia Su was talking to Su Sansao, Amelia Su was at the door. She wanted to come to her mother's house to see if there was anything to eat. Amelia Su happened to hear the conversation between Amelia Su and Su Sansao. For a moment, she wanted to rush in directly, but she held back.
“Yamei, aren’t you going in?” Mother Xu asked when she saw Amelia Su standing there.
When Xu's mother spoke, Su Xueqing and Su Sansao both heard it.
Amelia Su and Su Sansao didn’t know how much Amelia Su had heard. The two just spoke, some in low voices and some in normal voices.
Amelia Su walked in, and she pretended that she didn’t hear anything, “Little sister, didn’t you buy any fruit today?”
"No." Su Xueqing said.
"Your third sister-in-law is pregnant, so she needs to take more supplements." Amelia Su said, "Next time you come, buy more and I'll eat a few bites. The baby in your third sister-in-law's belly is your nephew, and the baby in my belly is your nephew."
Amelia Su looked at Amelia Su. Amelia Su just said these words and didn’t make a fuss. Does this mean that Amelia Su didn’t hear those words?
As expected, one still has to be careful when speaking, especially in a house like this. Talking in the room may not be safe and may be overheard by others.
"It depends." Su Xueqing said, "When I go home, it's like visiting relatives."
"Xueqing hasn't married yet, so there's no need to buy so much." Mrs. Su said, "Xueqing, aren't you going to go out for practice with the teacher? Are all your things ready? Where are you going? Is it safe?"
"It's safe. Let's go to the Tujia settlement near the south city to see their buildings." Su Xueqing said, "A boy will go with us. Jiaxuan will go too. Yanjing found two security guards."
The two security guards will not only protect Ning Jiaxuan completely, but will also protect Su Xueqing.
Su Xueqing had been out in practice in her past and present lives, so she knew she had to be more careful. Especially in unfamiliar places, where she didn't know people's customs and taboos, she should say less and make fewer mistakes, and follow the crowd. Su Xueqing did her homework in advance, so she had to be careful too.
"My future brother-in-law did the right thing. It's the right thing to do when he goes to a strange place and find someone to protect him," said Mrs. Su.
“How much will this cost?” Amelia Su asked.
"No matter how much money is spent, it's not your money, big sister." Third Sister Su said, "It's their money, they can spend it however they want. This is also spent in the right place. The fiancée is out doing research, and the fiancée can't go with her to protect her. It's right to send someone to protect her."
“It should be, it should be, Third Sister-in-law, you really know how to say it.” Amelia Su sneered, “This should be done, that should be done, we haven’t even gotten married yet, it’s just as it should be.”
"Even though they are not married, they are engaged." Third Sister Su said, "If they don't behave well before marriage, how can you expect them to behave well after marriage? Big sister, do you think everyone will be like you and rely on their parents' family from time to time after marriage?"
Mrs. Su really doesn't like to talk about Amelia Su and her husband. Amelia Su is thick-skinned, and Wei Dashan looks like he can't do anything to Amelia Su. If Wei Dashan really wants to, he can still give some money to the Su family, but Wei Dashan is afraid of angering Amelia Su and causing her to have a miscarriage... Haha, Wei Dashan is good to Amelia Su, but Amelia Su's family will be persecuted by Amelia Su.
"This is my mother's house, I'm just leaning against it, what's the matter." Amelia Su said, she picked up an apple on the table and went back directly, "I'll come over for dinner later."
"..." Su Xueqing was shocked to see her elder sister like this. It was not even time for dinner, yet she could come over to get some fruit.
Amelia Su was so shocked that she admired her elder sister a little. How could her elder sister be so shameless? Most people couldn't do this. When Amelia Su went to the countryside, Amelia Su was very young. She didn't know what Amelia Su was like at the time. She just heard it from others.
"Is she always like this?" Su Xueqing looked at Su Sansao.
"Yes, she said she suffered a lot in the countryside and changed a lot." Mrs. Su said, "She said so herself."
"She...she is not one to waste time on internal conflicts..." This was all Su Xueqing could say.
Amelia Su's main point is that she is happy, and it doesn't matter whether her family is happy or not, and she is not afraid of offending her family. Amelia Su's actions, to a certain extent, make Amelia Su feel good. As long as there is no burden in the heart and it is shameless enough, this life can be considered chic.
No wonder so many people want to be the best, many people have moral bottom lines, and they can’t do it to Amelia Su’s level.
"Being pregnant, relying on the baby in her belly." Mrs. Su said, "There is a big difference between a woman being pregnant and not being pregnant."
"Isn't it just..." Su Xueqing didn't say anything else. Isn't it just that there is an extra piece of fat in the belly?
"Child, the future of the family is bright." said Mrs. Su.
Xu's mother watched Amelia Su chewing an apple and coming out of the Su's house. She went back to the living room and saw Xu Ruyun still making bracelets. Xu Ruyun was very hardworking. When she didn't set up a stall, she would get up early to do things, so that when she set up a stall, she could have more fresh things to please customers.
"Can you sell so many bracelets?" asked Xu's mother.
"It's sold. The one I have on my hand was custom-made by someone else." Xu Ruyun said, "Wearing gold and silver makes it easy to be robbed, and you may not have the money to buy it. This kind of bracelet made of rope is cheap and beautiful. The most bad thing is that it is not easy to touch water. It will get wet easily. Take it off when you take a shower and put it on again later. It's not a pity to lose it, you can buy a new one. Many girls like to buy bracelets, and buy several different styles at a time. Some even bring their friends to buy them."
Xu Ruyun felt that those girls had a high level of consumption. Since they had no money, they would save money and dress themselves up.
"Good-looking things will never have trouble selling." Xu Ruyun said, "I still don't have enough stuff, so I'll have to buy more when the time comes."
"If you can sell it, buy it. If you can't sell it, don't buy so much." said Xu's mother.
Xu's mother wanted to know how much money Xu Ruyun earned, but Xu Ruyun didn't say much and didn't even let her mother come over to count the money when she was counting it.
In her previous life, Xu Ruyun had been married and betrayed, but her family still let her continue living, saying it was for the sake of the children. In this life, Xu Ruyun knew that her family was not so reliable, and she could not tell her family how much money she made, but still had to look at herself.
"It can be sold. Mom, please don't keep saying that it can't be sold. You will ruin my good luck." Xu Ruyun said, "I'm not going to make a lot of money, I just want to make some small money."
This is the money that Xu Ruyun knows. If she is asked to make money beyond her knowledge, she dare not. Rebirth does not increase Xu Ruyun's IQ or EQ. She has to grow up slowly and learn to communicate. After the initial period of rebirth, Xu Ruyun gradually settled down. She was not as indignant as at the beginning, and was not blinded by those bad things.
"I can make jewelry, but I'm not so good at making clothes." Xu Ruyun had made some clothes for her daughter and son in her previous life. She tried to make them prettier, but she was just imitating them. The clothes she imitated were not pretty enough. Xu Ruyun chose to make hair accessories and jewelry. These small things were not expensive, but the profits were high, and she could control them herself.
Things that cannot be controlled, no matter how much money others make, it has nothing to do with Xu Ruyun.
"I heard that the son of the Lin family from the Grain Bureau is looking for a blind date, and he wants to find a college student." Xu's mother sighed, "If he doesn't find a college student..."
"If they don't find one, it has nothing to do with us." Xu Ruyun said, "The Lin family is holding their breath. They want to find a college student. If Su Xueqing is not available, there are other college students. So what? If they find a college student, will that college student be better than Su Xueqing? By then, that college student will not be able to compare with Su Xueqing, and who knows what life will be like in her husband's family. The Lin family is not easy to get along with. They are high and mighty."
"Their family is rich and they are leaders." Xu's mother said, "It's easy to get things done."
"Does that mean sacrificing one person and letting the husband's family do things for the wife's family?" Xu Ruyun asked, "Mom, do you want to sell your daughter to help your son?"
"I didn't say that." Xu's mother said guiltily.
Xu Ruyun glanced at her mother. It was obvious that her mother wanted that. In her previous life, her mother once said that Liao Jiankai was not capable enough and that Liao Jiankai could not help when there was something wrong at home. Xu Ruyun thought that Liao Jiankai could not help, so why didn't they let Xu Ruyun divorce Liao Jiankai when he found another woman?
There are some things that everyone knows, and there is no point in talking about them.
"This bracelet is really well woven for you." Mother Xu looked at the bracelets that Xu Ruyun had woven. The bracelets were of different colors and styles. The ordinary ropes became so beautiful after being woven by Xu Ruyun. "It's very beautiful."
"If you like it, you can wear it." Xu Ruyun said.
"I'm not a young girl, why should I wear this?" Xu's mother said, "Your second brother should find a partner."
"Second brother, just give it to his girlfriend at cost price, no problem." Xu Ruyun said.
"We still have to pay according to the cost price?" Mother Xu frowned.
"Yes, my second brother gave him a girlfriend, not just once." Xu Ruyun said, "If he gets it for free every time, without counting the cost, he will lose money. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. At most, we can record it in the account and deduct it from the dividends."
"You are so particular even with your own brother." said Xu's mother.
"Mom, you are my mom, we should be filial to you." Xu Ruyun said, "What if my second brother doesn't find a partner later? We should calculate the money we spent. Even if we don't ask the girl to get her back, we should know how much we spent. No money, no matter how much, we gave away too much. We should ask for a cost price. Before giving anything away, my second brother will also weigh how much he should give and how much he spent."
"..." Mother Xu looked at Xu Ruyun and felt that her daughter was very strange. "How can you find a partner without spending money? If you don't spend a penny, do you think it's easy to fool others?"
"It doesn't mean that finding a partner doesn't cost money. It doesn't mean you should calculate more." Xu Ruyun said, "You have to consider the cost of everything you do. You can't do it blindly."
"When dating... you have to do this..." Xu's mother said, "If you haggle over every little thing, the girl will be unhappy."
"I'm not haggling over it, I'm just calculating a little bit." Xu Ruyun said, "Our family is not a wealthy one, we don't have that many good things, nor that much money. If it works, it doesn't matter, but if it doesn't, it's all sunk costs."
"It's ice-cold." said Xu's mother.
Xu Ruyun was uncomfortable when she heard this. What does "cold" mean? This is the lesson she learned in her previous life. Being a housewife is not without contribution. Others just say that she doesn't make money at home, which directly erases all her contributions. Between people, the relationship is very good at the beginning, but it may be that there is no relationship at the end. It is better to be clear at the beginning. Isn't it a good thing?
If a man says he will give everything to a woman, it is best not to marry such a man, because he gives you everything, which is too heavy. If a man says he will give you something, which is one-tenth of his property, or even less, but it is a lot, far more than what others have, it is not a heavy burden for this man, and women do not need to bear too much pressure.
This is what Xu Ruyun figured out after what happened in her past life: all men like to lie, and few men are good.
"Yes, I am cold and ruthless." Xu Ruyun said, "You have warmth, Mom, you have to be nicer to your daughter-in-law. My eldest brother and his wife will come back sooner or later, there is no way they won't come back. Life in the countryside is not much better even if there is no shortage of food."
Xu Ruyun worked hard to make money. If her eldest brother and sister-in-law came back, she would rent a house instead of living at home. There were not enough rooms at home. She now had her own room. If her eldest brother and sister-in-law came back, she would have to vacate the room. Her second brother was already of marriageable age, so he couldn't vacate the room. Only Xu Ruyun, who was of marriageable age, could vacate the room.
When Xu Ruyun was dating Liao Jiankai, she wanted to get married early and vacate the room. By then, her elder brother and sister-in-law would come back and there would be less disputes at home. This is what Xu Ruyun did in her previous life.
The Xu family felt that Xu Ruyun should do that, and that a girl had no right to occupy her parents' house for a long time. When a girl got married, her parents' house could keep a vacant room for her. If there was no vacant room, then there was nothing she could do, and the married girl would have to sleep on the floor or live outside.
Xu Ruyun is very disappointed with her family. She was disappointed in her past life and in this life. It can only be said that the Xu family is ordinary people. Many families have the same idea as the Xu family. The most important thing is that she has money, so she doesn't have to think too much about these people.
"Your elder brother and sister-in-law haven't come back yet." said Xu's mother.
"They haven't come back yet, but they will be back soon." Xu Ruyun said, "Maybe they will give us a big surprise during the Chinese New Year."
Xu Ruyun was reborn, so she certainly knew when her elder brother and sister-in-law would return to the city. In her previous life, they came back during the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, Xu Ruyun and Liao Jiankai were already married and registered at that time, and they did not live at home, so the Xu family could be happy. In this life, Xu Ruyun was not married, so she would either sleep in the living room or be forced to move out.
"We have to ask them." Xu's mother was going to call her eldest son and daughter-in-law to find out what those people were planning as soon as possible.
Amelia Su went back home, and Amelia Su did not go over. The relationship between the two could not be very harmonious. Amelia Su had a bad attitude towards Amelia Su, and Amelia Su was not the kind of person who would rush over.
"Did you hear it, elder sister?" Su Xueqing couldn't help but ask Su Sansao.
"She didn't make a fuss, so she probably didn't hear it. If she heard it and made a fuss, would she still come over?" Third Sister Su said, "If she really heard it, she would probably remember it silently in her heart, and when she comes back with money, she will make us suffer."
“……” Su Xueqing was silent.
"I'm short of money, so I have to come over to eat and take advantage of you." Mrs. Su said, "You can eat at home. I'll steam some tender eggs for you."
"No, no, I... I can't seem to help you do anything." Su Xueqing wanted to do it herself, but then she realized that she didn't know how to do it at all. The eggs she steamed had many holes in them and were very old. Sometimes she put too much salt and it was still salty. When she didn't put too much salt, the steamed egg custard didn't take shape.
A small egg custard may seem simple to others, but it becomes very difficult for Su Xueqing.
"You don't have to do it. I can still do these things." Mrs. Su said, "I'm not the eldest sister. I'm not that precious. I can still do things. It doesn't mean that a woman can't do things when she's pregnant. It depends on the situation."
At noon, Old Mrs. Su picked up Wei Shanshan to come back for lunch. When she saw Su Xueqing, she asked a few questions.
"In a few days, I will go out for practice with my teacher and may not come back." Su Xueqing said, "I'm telling you in advance."
"Well, okay." Old Mrs. Su nodded, "I know where you are going, so I feel relieved."
Amelia Su didn’t say anything. She picked up the food with chopsticks. She wanted to eat more.
At night, when Su San's wife and Su San's brother were in the room, Su San's wife gently patted the quilt. The quilt had been exposed to the sun during the day and smelled much better.
"My little sister gave me ten yuan today so that I could buy some delicious food." Mrs. Su said, "I joked that I might not be able to give her this much money in the future, but she told me not to be polite to her. You are a really good little sister."
Mrs. Su thought that it was worth her kindness to Su Xueqing. After she got married, she would share the delicious food with Su Xueqing and eat it quietly. Mrs. Su thought that Su Xueqing had good grades and would be very successful in the future. Even if Su Xueqing didn't get into a good school, she had a beautiful face and had a bright future.
"You took it?" Brother Su frowned slightly.
"I took it. Your younger sister forced it on me. I won't be polite to her. When your younger sister gets pregnant, we'll give it to her too." Third Sister Su said, "Do you really think I'll be so stingy? I can't give it to your elder sister because she's stingy and wants us to pay for it. She always says we're good to her. If she's half as good as her, we can treat her better."
"That's my little sister's money." Brother Su San was embarrassed to ask Su Xueqing for money, "We are not short of money."
"I know, that's why I refused, but my younger sister gave it to me anyway, so I took it." Third Sister Su said, "My younger sister knew that my elder sister was eating here, and she was worried that I didn't eat well. My younger sister is like my own sister, no, she is my own sister."
Mrs. Su felt that her own sister didn't give her the money and didn't care about her so much, but Su Xueqing, her sister-in-law, cared about her very much. In Su Xueqing's view, anything that could be solved by giving some money was not a problem.
"Forget it, just take it." said Brother Su San.
"Don't worry, I know my limits." Mrs. Su said, "My younger sister is so generous, my future brother-in-law should know that. Won't my future brother-in-law buy a refrigerator for our family? He doesn't care about this little money. If we are shy, it will be bad."
"Don't let eldest sister know." said Brother Su San.
"Maybe the eldest sister already knows. I was talking to my younger sister in the living room, and halfway through, someone next door called the eldest sister." Mrs. Su said, "I don't know when the eldest sister stood at the door. She didn't say anything else, so we just assumed she didn't know."
"Big sister didn't make a fuss?" Brother Su was surprised. "Did little sister give her money?"
"I don't know." Mrs. Su said, "I can't ask the younger sister directly whether she gave money to the elder sister, as it would make me feel like I'm forcing the younger sister to give money to the elder sister. The elder sister is so stubborn that no matter how much money you give her, she won't know how good others are to her."
"..." Brother Su San was silent. What he said made sense.
"We know how to reciprocate with our younger sister, but the older sister doesn't necessarily." Mrs. Su said, "The older sister is trying to take advantage of us. My parents can still say that they feel guilty towards the older sister, but what does the younger sister feel guilty about? I tell you, the older sister's going to the countryside has nothing to do with us. According to age, she should have gone to the countryside first."
Mrs. Su was afraid that Brother Su would be stupid enough to be nice to Amelia Su, because Amelia Su would only take the things back and would never take them out.
"Yeah." Brother Su San responded.
"I'm telling the truth. Don't take it lightly." said Mrs. Su.
"Really, really." said Brother Su San.
But Amelia Su was not so relaxed when she talked to Wei Dashan. Amelia Su didn't want to talk about Su Xueqing's behavior. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She still wanted to talk to Wei Dashan.
"My younger sister favors her third brother. I'm right. She gives her third sister-in-law money to buy food, but not to me, her eldest sister." Amelia Su said, "I don't know how many good things they have secretly eaten behind my back. I just went there to eat."
Wei Dashan listened and didn't express his opinion. Amelia Su always found various angles to say that her family was wrong. Wei Dashan knew that Amelia Su and Su Sansao were both pregnant, and they couldn't be treated equally. The child in Su Sansao's belly was surnamed Su, and the relationship between Su Sange and his wife and Amelia Su was also good. Amelia Su couldn't compare with Su Sange and his wife.
As long as Amelia Su didn't make a scene at her parents' house and just talked about it in front of Wei Dashan, Wei Dashan thought it was a good sign.
Su Sansao's family is in the south city, and her maiden name is Jiang. When Jiang's mother learned that her daughter was pregnant, she was happy for her daughter. Su Sansao sat in the living room of her family's house. Jiang's mother cut some fruit, and her sister-in-law from her family was going to fry some meat for Su Sansao.
"Is your sister-in-law still having dinner at your house?" asked Jiang's mother.
"Yes, she's pregnant, so it's not easy to drive her away." Mrs. Su said, "My parents-in-law can still tolerate her. I think, just bear with her. Everything will be fine after she gives birth. By that time, my parents-in-law will not be able to tolerate her anymore. How long can their previous family affection last? There will be no filial son for a long-term sick bed. This married girl who always relies on her parents' family must have an end. Now that I'm pregnant, my parents-in-law will not let her eat more meat and I eat less meat."
"Okay, if they don't let you eat, tell us and we'll go over there," said Jiang's mother.
"My sister-in-law is good." Mrs. Su said, "She often brings things back and gives me money so that I can buy things to replenish my body."
"Your sister-in-law is just engaged, not married yet. You should take less of her money." Jiang's mother said, "Don't let her fiancée's family think that she is draining her husband's family out because she is not married yet."
Jiang's mother is not someone who always wants to take advantage. Su Xueqing is good to Jiang's mother's daughter, and Jiang's mother will also think about Su Xueqing.
"That's right." Mrs. Su said, "We said that my younger sister did bring back something. She was very generous. She has a good future and is enjoying it in advance. We are not on the same level as her. We are not as knowledgeable as her and our thinking is far behind her. We don't spend money recklessly. If she really has problems, we can give her some money."
"That's right." Jiang's mother nodded.
"Before, I thought my little sister was different, but now I think she shines even more." Third Sister Su said a lot of good things about Amelia Su in front of Jiang's mother, all of which were praises. Third Sister Su didn't want to say much about Amelia Su. She always said bad things about Amelia Su behind her back, but she didn't get any benefits. Why did she say bad things about Amelia Su?
Su Xueqing has not yet told Ning Yanjing about Su Sansao's pregnancy. Su Sansao is still young, and Su Xueqing doesn't need Ning Yanjing to do anything more. When Su Sansao officially announces her pregnancy, Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing will go over and bring some supplements. That's it.
Time soon came to the afternoon before Su Xueqing was due to leave for practice. Ning Jiaxuan came to Su Xueqing with some things so that they could set off together.
"Food, snacks." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Small cakes, bread, and some other dry food."
"Food? Bring so much?" Su Xueqing was surprised, the whole box was full of food.
"Not much." Ning Jiaxuan said, "What if we can't eat the food over there and we have vomiting and diarrhea after eating? The food we brought can be useful. We can eat it when we are hungry at night after dinner. These things can be kept for many days, and they are not easy to spoil in this weather. I also brought canned meat, take a look, is there anything else you need?"
"You brought a lot of food." Su Xueqing thought about the things she brought, and then thought about the things Ning Jiaxuan brought. Ning Jiaxuan really looked like she was going on a trip.
"We found the car and paid for it," Ning Jiaxuan said. "When the time comes, there will be space enough to put these things. The car will come directly to the school to pick us up. Everything has been arranged properly."
"Did you arrange this?" As soon as Ning Yanjing came back, he heard Ning Jiaxuan say those words.
The Ning family paid for most of the expenses. The car and other things were indeed arranged by the Ning family. The route was not planned by the Ning family. They also checked it. Ning Yanjing's fiancée and sister were both going there, and he was worried. He wanted to go with them, but he couldn't go with them every time. Ning Yanjing was afraid that Su Xueqing would be unhappy if he always followed them, so it would be better to let them go a little and let them go by themselves.
"It's our family's money, okay?" Ning Jiaxuan said, "Brother, are you worried that I will take the credit for your hard work?"
"You can't be greedy." Ning Yanjing said. Su Xueqing should know how much Ning Jiaxuan weighed after spending so much time with her. Ning Yanjing looked at Su Xueqing, "Are all the things ready?"
"We started preparing early, and everything is ready." Su Xueqing said, "You can bring some water over."
"Have someone move it to the car." Ning Yanjing said, "Don't worry about that. There is a dirt road where you are going. The car can pass through, but it will be bumpy. The road is relatively flat and it is not on a high mountain."
"The places we studied are considered good. They are basically places that can be reached by car." Su Xueqing said, "They are places where many people live. If there are fewer people, some buildings will not exist."
Some villages that retain unique architectural styles are basically ethnic minority gathering places, and the roads may be a little difficult to travel. The national policy is biased towards these ethnic minorities. When providing water, electricity and roads, priority will be given to villages with large populations. In some villages, the residents are very clearly scattered, with one family on this side of the mountain, another family on that side, and some are just a single family on the mountainside.
Su Xueqing had been there in her previous life. Most of the time, they were in densely populated places, places that the Chinese people had carefully selected for hundreds or thousands of years. These places were usually better developed and had more developed roads.
"I brought mosquito repellent bags and ointment." Su Xueqing said, "The team will bring a medical kit."
Su Xueqing couldn't just rely on the team's medical kit, so it would be a good idea to prepare more on her own.
"It's best to wear cloth shoes instead of slippers." Su Xueqing looked at Ning Jiaxuan, "When walking on dirt roads, your feet may get hurt sometimes."
"Okay." Ning Jiaxuan nodded. "I'll put the slippers in the suitcase and wear them when I go to bed at night."
Ning Yanjing took out his wallet and gave most of the money to Su Xueqing and a small portion to Ning Jiaxuan.
"Young man, you are biased." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"You have poor self-control." Ning Yanjing said.
"I... yes, yes, yes, I can't, but I'm the one going with Xueqing, so you still have to give me money, right?" Ning Jiaxuan raised her eyebrows, "This is the reserve fund you put with me in case something happens to my sister-in-law."
"..." Su Xueqing looked at Ning Jiaxuan.
"If I hadn't gone with Xueqing, I wouldn't have gotten the money." Ning Jiaxuan reached out to hug Su Xueqing, but was pushed away by Ning Yanjing.
"You also know that you are going with Xueqing?" Ning Yanjing thought that since he did not go with them, he should have hugged his fiancée, and Ning Jiaxuan went aside.
"Omitted." Ning Jiaxuan made a face at Ning Yanjing.
"Don't worry about her." Ning Yanjing looked at Su Xueqing, "Just do your thing when the time comes."
"Yeah, okay." Su Xueqing nodded.
In recent days, Yu Li has been on blind dates with several people, but none of them worked out. The people that Mei Matchmaker introduced to Yu Li were not as good as Lin Jincai, whose family background was good, and Yu Li was not satisfied with those people.
This gave Yu Li a headache. After a new blind date, she asked the matchmaker directly in the park, "Can you introduce me to someone better?"
"That's pretty good," said Mei, the matchmaker. "You don't have a Nancheng hukou, so they'll try to help you stay in the city. They'll have to use connections and spend money. It's good that you're a student at Nancheng University. You have a choice, and so do they. Blind dates are a matter of mutual choice. If you're not suitable, then look for other options."
"Look at other things, they have to be better." Yu Li said, "The man today stuttered and stammered."
"He has a stable job, and his brothers and sisters are all good," said Mei, the matchmaker. "He doesn't need to help his brothers and sisters, because they can help him instead. You have to think about this. You need to have a good family to make a living. You can't get a city hukou just because you want one. Some people even marry cripples just to get a city hukou."
Matchmaker Mei didn't think the person she introduced to Yu Li was bad. "People with some status, when they are looking for a daughter-in-law, don't they need to investigate? Do you think the things you did in school won't be discovered? You are only a sophomore, don't be in a hurry, there is still time, you can slowly go on blind dates. If you wait until your senior year, you are in a hurry, and you come for a blind date at the last minute, it will be difficult to find a good one. Ask others, I am a good matchmaker, there are not many matchmakers who can do the same as me. College students like you who are eager to stay in the city are the easiest to deceive, and others will deceive you every time."
"This... I..." Yu Li was too embarrassed to say anything bad about Mei the matchmaker when she heard this. It wasn't that Yu Li didn't want to find another matchmaker, she was afraid that other people were unreliable and she was afraid of being cheated.
"Take your time, don't rush. If you feel it's not suitable, then change someone." Mei Matchmaker said, "I didn't charge you any money, so you can go on more blind dates without spending any money. The men also pay for your meals, so what can you lose? No one has accused you of cheating on food and drinks, so what are you afraid of?"
Mei Matchmaker treats these female college students as resources. She does not charge money from these female college students, but she gets more money from the men. Men with good family backgrounds are not afraid of going on more blind dates and do not mind spending money on meals.
"If you don't want to go on a blind date anymore, it's okay, I won't..."
"No, no." Yu Li quickly grabbed Matchmaker Mei's hand, fearing that she would leave like this, "We have to go on a blind date."
"Okay, let's take it slow," said Mei the matchmaker.
At the Su family, Su's mother was making fried buns. She knew that Su Xueqing was going to practice tomorrow, so she wanted to make some food for her little daughter to eat. Su's mother went to buy fresh meat early today, and also bought long beans, fungus, bean sprouts, leeks, etc. She put these things together and fried the stuffing, which was fragrant.
"What festival is today? How do you make these delicious dishes?" As soon as Amelia Su entered the kitchen, she saw the fried buns in the bowl and reached out to take them. Before her hand touched the buns, it was slapped down by Su's mother.
