Chapter 40: This is your reward for being picky
"No one has a birthday." Su Xueqing said, "Grandma, it's me. I joined the Architectural Design Institute. Although I'm not a formal employee, I'm in. I'm in."
Amelia Su stepped forward and happily took Old Lady Su’s arm, “Grandma, am I amazing?”
"Great, great." Old Mrs. Su nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm pretty awesome, right?" Su Xueqing laughed.
In front of her family, Su Xueqing acted like a little kid. "Yan Jing bought this cake for me to celebrate. We ate a little bit, and there's still a lot left. I brought it here for you to eat. Grandma, don't be disgusted that it's left over from us."
"This is not what you left over." Old Mrs. Su said, "You just cut off a part, this is considered new."
"Come, eat the cake first." Su Xueqing said, "I'll cut it for you."
Ning Yanjing put the cake on the table, not on the coffee table, which was filled with unfinished dolls. Ning Yanjing unwrapped the cake, and Su Xueqing took a knife to cut the cake. After cutting it twice, she felt it was difficult to cut, so she let Ning Yanjing cut it while she served the cake to her family.
"This cake is delicious. I've eaten it." Su Xueqing first brought a piece of cake to Old Mrs. Su, followed by Su's mother, Su's father, and Wei Shanshan.
Su San's wife reached out and poked Su San's brother, asking him to get up and take it, and not to let the younger sister bring it over. Su San's brother took the cake and gave it to Su San's wife, and after Su San's wife had eaten it, Su San's brother went to get her own portion.
Amelia Su didn't go to call Amelia Su over, Amelia Su came over by herself. Amelia Su saw Amelia Su's figure through the window, and she came when she saw Ning Yanjing holding something in his hand.
“Eat cake.” Amelia Su handed Amelia Su a piece of cake.
“Whose birthday is it?” Amelia Su asked.
"Yan Jing bought it for me when I joined the Architectural Design Institute." Su Xueqing said.
“Aren’t you graduated yet?” Amelia Su wondered, “You’re going to work in the company so soon?”
"It's not a formal job now. You should think of me as doing research with the teacher." Su Xueqing said, "The teacher said that he will give me some subsidies."
“…” Amelia Su took a bite of the cake. The cake tasted really good. She glanced at Amelia Su, and then she looked at the cake on the table, “Your brother-in-law hasn’t eaten the cake yet.”
"Cut a piece and take it over." Su's mother said. Wei Dashan worked hard for Su Yamei, and it was a good thing that Su Yamei could consider Wei Dashan more.
The six-inch cake on the top layer had been cut, and the eight-inch cake on the bottom layer was still halfway done. Amelia Su took the knife to cut it herself, and she cut a large piece.
“I’ll take it back and put it away first.” Amelia Su said, “You guys make dolls, if you accidentally get them stained, it will be difficult to deal with.”
Amelia Su put the cake that she had taken a bite of aside first, and she took the cut cake back first to prevent it from being eaten later.
Amelia Su was quite speechless when she saw Amelia Su’s actions, and they did not compete with Amelia Su for food.
"Has elder sister always been like this?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Occasionally." Su's mother said, "Dashan is embarrassed to eat at our house, so he cooks for himself. When I make steamed buns and steamed buns, I ask him to come and eat, and he will come to eat."
"Brother-in-law, please have some dignity." Su Xueqing said.
"You guys eat too." said Su's mother.
"We don't want to eat anymore. We just ate." Su Xueqing said, "We can't eat anymore."
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing can buy cake anytime they want, because they originally brought the cake for the Su family.
Amelia Su put the cake on the table in her room, found an enamel basin to cover it, and then went back to the Su family. Amelia Su was in a good mood. She was happy to have cake to eat. Amelia Su was not unhappy that Su Xueqing had a good future. If Amelia Su was not doing well, she would not have these things to eat. It was good for Amelia Su to do better, so that she could benefit from it and eat more.
When Amelia Su returned to the Su family, Amelia Su and Ning Yanjing had already gone back.
“Where’s my little sister?” Amelia Su asked, “She’s leaving now?”
"They are here to deliver the cake." said Su's mother.
"The house is so crowded and there is no place to stay, so they left." Amelia Su said, "Such a small living room, if it can be expanded outside the yard, it will be more spacious."
"We can't expand it. The yard outside belongs to everyone." Su's mother said, "The yard outside is not that big. If our family wants to expand it, other families will also have to expand it."
Especially those educated youth who returned to the city and whose homes were too small would clamor for expansion.
At present, the Su family still has enough space to live in, mainly because Amelia Su does not live at home.
"Eat your cake," said Su's mother. "You don't have to worry about these things."
“I didn’t say much about my little sister just now.” Amelia Su said.
"..." Mother Su's mouth twitched slightly. She saw that Amelia Su knew that she was tight on money and had a hard time recently. The city was not the countryside. In the countryside, you could go to the mountains to find some food, but in the city, you had to spend money. Otherwise, go to the vegetable market to pick up the rotten leaves that others didn't want?
There were indeed people who went to pick up the rotten vegetable leaves in the vegetable market, but it was impossible for Amelia Su to do so while she was pregnant.
Su's mother planned to catch a few more chicks. The chickens that were barely kept in the backyard would have to be killed in a few days to nourish her daughter-in-law. She could go to the vegetable market to pick up some rotten leaves to feed the chickens, which would save her some money.
"Look how happy my little sister is." Amelia Su said, "I haven't seen her so happy since returning to the city. She wasn't even so happy when she got engaged."
“Why do you care when she will be happier? Just take care of yourself.” Mother Su said, Amelia Su’s words made it easy for people to think that Amelia Su was unhappy about her engagement.
“Have you eaten all those cakes?” Amelia Su found that there were no cakes on the table.
"Yes, eat them all." said Su's mother.
In fact, there were still some cakes that had not been eaten. Old Mrs. Su asked Su Sansao to put the cakes in the room and she could eat them later. The cakes would be cold if they were put in the refrigerator, and pregnant women were not suitable to eat cold things. She put them in Su Sansao's room and she would eat some after she finished her work, as pregnant women tend to get hungry easily.
Mrs. Su San doesn’t eat much cake, and she doesn’t eat too much sweet food. This cake is fluffy, and she doesn’t feel much after eating a piece.
Amelia Su didn't quite believe what her mother said. She looked at Third Sister-in-law Su. She thought that these people probably asked Third Sister-in-law Su to put the food in the room while she was not here, fearing that she would eat the leftovers again.
“Forget it, I’ll go back first.” Amelia Su said, “I’m standing here, and I’m not doing anything. If I’m not careful, I’ll be tripped by the dolls you dropped on the ground. That’s not worth it.”
Amelia Su took the unfinished piece of cake in her hand and went back to eat it slowly.
Su's mother couldn't help but shake her head gently, wondering how Su Yamei could develop such a virtue. Su's mother remembered that before Su Yamei went to the countryside, she was quite hardworking and could do more things. But after Su Yamei came back from the countryside, she was unwilling to do more things.
"Go to the countryside, go to the countryside, doesn't she have to work in the countryside?" Su's mother sighed, "She doesn't even work when she returns to the city."
“Whether she works or not, as long as her husband is here, we don’t have to worry about her.” Old Mrs. Su said that she would not care much about Amelia Su. As long as Wei Dashan was here, those people would speak up and ask for help when they couldn’t make ends meet.
In the evening, when Wei Dashan returned home, he saw only a few bites of cake left on the table. Amelia Su ate her own piece of cake, and wanted to continue eating, so she simply ate the cake she wanted to leave for Wei Dashan. When Wei Dashan came back, Amelia Su was about to eat the remaining few bites.
“I originally wanted to leave it for you to eat, but the baby in my belly wanted to eat it.” Amelia Su said, “So I ate it.”
"Eat it." Wei Dashan couldn't let Amelia Su not eat it. He didn't ask where the cake came from. He knew it must be the cake from his father-in-law and mother-in-law's house.
"My younger sister entered the Architectural Design Institute. I guess she went in to help out and do some odd jobs." Amelia Su said, "It's not a formal job. She was very happy and bought a cake to celebrate. When I had a job, I didn't celebrate like this. She celebrated so early. When she graduates...she can get in after graduation. Her fiancé's family is so powerful that they will always find a way to get her in. Unlike me, my in-laws and my own family are unreliable."
My husband's family lives in the countryside, and the people there are busy taking care of themselves, so how can they possibly take care of the mountains?
When Wei Dashan and Amelia Su were about to go to the city, others asked them about their house, meaning that they should hand over the house to other people to live in. Amelia Su refused. Those people didn't give them money, so why should they live in it? Those people also said that the house in the countryside would soon be broken down if no one lived in it.
Amelia Su still didn't agree. She said that she would consider lending the house to relatives after she had a place to live in the city for half a year or a year. Amelia Su was worried that she couldn't get along with Wei Dashan and had to go back to the countryside.
Of course, Amelia Su was just leaving a way out for herself, not really going back. The house in the countryside was locked, and the lock was easy to pry open. If someone wanted to pry the lock, they could easily pry it open. There was nothing valuable in the house in the old house, so Amelia Su and her husband gave the key to Mother Wei.
Wei's mother had several children, not just Wei Dashan. Wei Dashan did not live with Wei's mother and others. Wei's mother lived with her youngest son and his wife. Wei Dashan's younger brother was eloquent, unlike Wei Dashan who got married at an older age.
“I don’t know if your mother gave the key to someone.” Amelia Su said, “Your brother and his children are here, they probably won’t let such a young child live there.”
"I don't know." Wei Dashan said, "I didn't call back to ask."
"No need to call." Amelia Su said, "If they have arranged it, they will call and tell you. They are calling to ask for money. There is nothing wrong. Why are you calling back? Your parents will naturally call you if they have something. Your job is a temporary job, not a big moneymaker. If they call you for money, you have to tell them clearly that we don't have any money. I'm pregnant and I have to go to the hospital to give birth."
"Okay." Wei Dashan said.
The Wei family did not call Wei Dashan to ask for money for the time being. This was not the busy farming season, but the harvest season. If they needed to buy seeds and fertilizers for farming and were short of money, the Wei family would ask Wei Dashan for help. They could also owe the money for seeds and fertilizers and pay it back at the end of the year. When buying things in the town, everyone was familiar with each other and could keep accounts.
"Go pour me some water for washing my feet, I'll wash my feet." Amelia Su said.
Wei Dashan went to get the kettle again. He was working outside and had to take care of Amelia Su when he came back.
Although people from other majors in the school might not know that Su Xueqing had joined the Architectural Design Institute, many students in the Department of Architecture knew about it. When Yu Li learned about it, she looked dazed.
"Why, she went?" Yu Li walked beside Xiang Yutong, she still couldn't believe it.
"It's normal for her to go. If someone else went, that would be abnormal." Xiang Yutong said, "Xueqing's grades were very good when she was a freshman. She ranked first in all her major courses. She is now a sophomore and is going out to practice with her teacher. She has strong abilities and the teacher recognizes her and guides her to do things. It's normal."
"The Ning family, her fiancé's family!" Yu Li firmly believed that it must be because of Su Xueqing's in-laws.
"..." Xiang Yutong was speechless. Yu Li insisted on thinking so, and Xiang Yutong had no choice.
Xiang Yutong only felt that Yu Li was stuck in a dead end, and Yu Li could not get out of this dead end. When a person is prejudiced against another person, no matter how well the other person does, it is difficult for this person to believe that the other person is really capable. This is the case between Yu Li and Su Xueqing. Yu Li firmly believes that Su Xueqing is not capable enough.
"She is still an undergraduate student, not a graduate student." Yu Li said, "She doesn't have a real mentor, and she is not considered a student of those teachers. Why did the teachers take her? I heard that when Teacher Guo led the team to study abroad, the Ning family paid for it."
Yu Li is possessed! This is how Xiang Yutong feels.
"Even without the Ning family, Xueqing can go." Xiang Yutong said, but the Ning family's halo is too strong, making it easy for people to overlook Su Xueqing's own abilities.
Yu Li wanted to deceive herself, Xiang Yutong did not stop her. She had said everything she could, but she still wanted to think that way. Xiang Yutong had no choice. She could not change the dormitory, Xiang Yutong could not help but laugh at herself. Fortunately, her academic performance was not as good as Su Xueqing's, and her appearance was not as good as Su Xueqing's. She was just an ordinary person. Otherwise, she would be envied by Yu Li, who was too jealous.
"You are stupid." Yu Li looked at Xiang Yutong, "Really stupid."
"..." Xiang Yutong was speechless. Was she stupid? Forget it, forget it. I was stupid. I was stupid.
Xiang Yutong walked forward, and Yu Li did not follow Xiang Yutong. Yu Li did not expect Su Xueqing to be able to enter the Architectural Design Institute at this time, which made her wonder if she could be like Su Xueqing if she found a good partner early. Even if she did not enter the Architectural Design Institute, she could still enter other units.
But she is still a student, so there is no need for her to work so hard so early. Yu Li told herself that it would also be hard for Su Xueqing to go into work at this time.
Yu Li decided to go to Mei Matchmaker and ask her to introduce a few good candidates to her so that she could choose carefully. If she met more people, she would be able to choose a good one.
Mrs. Xu, the wife of Vice President Xu, went to the Ning family. She had already learned from her husband that Su Xueqing had entered the Architecture Research Institute and that the drawings designed by Su Xueqing had been approved. Mrs. Xu did not speculate Su Xueqing with the greatest malice, nor did she think that the Ning family had found a master to design drawings for Su Xueqing. Mrs. Xu thought that it was no wonder that Ning Yanjing liked Su Xueqing, and Su Xueqing was indeed capable.
"My husband told me yesterday when he got home." Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "He said Yan Jing's fiancée has joined their company. Your Yan Jing has a really good eye."
"She's still studying." Ning's mother was happy, but she still said, "She hasn't really started working officially yet. She's just doing some small things there."
"No way." Madam Xu said, "You didn't tell us, and we didn't help her, she went in on her own. Before, I thought she was pretty, but I didn't expect she was so talented. After all, there are only a few who are inferior to those who can pass the college entrance examination and enter Nancheng University. Your Yan Jing's fiancée is even better, very much better."
"It's OK, it's OK." Ning's mother said, "At the beginning, Jiaxuan and Xueqing were classmates and roommates. I thought Xueqing knew how to coax Jiaxuan, but I didn't expect her to be so capable."
"I'm not saying that your Jiaxuan has a bad temper." Madam Xu said, "Xueqing is prettier than her, but she can still be friends with others, which shows that she knows how to get along with others. Jiaxuan has a bad temper, but she also knows how to judge people. She can feel whether a person is good or not."
"Indeed." Ning's mother nodded, "We all think Xue Qing is good."
"You have found a good daughter-in-law." Madam Xu said, "You have found someone so capable. If Xueqing and Yanjing have a child, the child will definitely be very smart. The girl is beautiful and talented, and the boy is handsome and capable. They are really a perfect match."
"I haven't heard you say this before." Ning's mother sighed.
"Isn't that because Yan Jing only cares about the face?" Madam Xu said, "Let's not talk about Yan Jing, but me. When I look at Xue Qing's pretty little face, I want to rub it and want her to stay by my side. Who doesn't like to look at a beautiful woman?"
If she has no real ability but only a pretty face, people like Mrs. Xu might take a few glances at her, but it is unlikely that they would look up to her.
"It's rare to hear my husband praise someone." Madam Xu said, "There are relatives in their courtyard. Some relatives don't do their job well and make mistakes. They let those people do less work, and they want to climb up. My husband scolds those people at home a lot."
"Isn't it because Xueqing is Yanjing's fiancée that he praises her?" asked Ning's mother.
"No." Madam Xu said, "He is not a person who would praise others against his will. If he really praises someone, it is mocking, and the tone is different. Xue Qing did not go in through him, but through another powerful person. Whether it is a mule or a horse, we will know it after we take a walk. Whether he has the ability or not, he will know it in his heart after asking a few questions."
Mother Ning felt even better when she heard what Madam Xu said, "Yan Jing is definitely not someone who only looks at the face!"
"Yan Jing's fiancée will surely have a great future," said Madam Xu. "She will participate in the development zone construction early on and become a meritorious official in the future."
"I'm grateful for your words." Ning's mother said, "It's her blessing to be able to participate in the construction of the motherland."
This made Ning's mother more satisfied with Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing made the Ning family proud. For a family like the Ning family, it was easy to want a beautiful daughter-in-law, but it was difficult to want a very talented daughter-in-law who could shine in related fields. The glory paved with money would collapse once the money was gone, but people like Su Xueqing, who had strength, would not collapse even if they lost money. They could hold on by themselves.
"It's a blessing, but also fate." Mrs. Xu said, "My husband said that their child was not capable enough, so he didn't get in, but Yan Jing's fiancée got in."
"Your child is pretty good." said Ning's mother.
Next, the two of them praised each other's children, and Ning's mother was very happy. She was thinking about giving Su Xueqing something, as good children should be rewarded.
In the evening, Su Xueqing returned to her residence and was a little surprised to see Ning's mother. You know, Ning's mother rarely came over, and Su Xueqing was still a little nervous facing her future mother-in-law.
"Xueqing is back." Ning's mother said with a smile, "Did you come back from school?"
"Yes, I just came back from school." Su Xueqing said.
"I heard from your cousin that you joined the Architectural Design Institute, so I came to take a look." Ning's mother said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."
Mother Ning took out a box from her bag and handed it to Su Xueqing, "Take a look."
Su Xueqing opened the jewelry box and found a set of jade jewelry inside. The first thing she thought of was how much it cost.
"Auntie, this... please take it back." Su Xueqing was a little embarrassed.
"Take it." Ning's mother said, "This is for you. Congratulations on getting into the Architectural Design Institute. You will have to call me auntie in the future. Don't be polite. I will give it to you sooner or later. Take it."
"Thank you, Auntie." Su Xueqing held the jewelry box.
"Sit down, no need to stand." Ning's mother pulled Su Xueqing to sit down, "Your cousin said that your cousin's father praised you and said that you are capable."
"Not bad." Su Xueqing didn't expect that Vice President Xu would praise her in front of Mrs. Xu.
"It's great." Ning's mother said, "Keep working hard in the future."
"Auntie, please have dinner here." Su Xueqing didn't know what to say, so she could only talk about eating.
"No, I'll go back soon." Ning's mother said, "Jiaxuan always goes out to play, I'll have dinner with your uncle. If I don't go back to eat, he will be alone and lonely."
Ning's mother came here mainly to give Su Xueqing something, which was considered as a statement to her husband. This was definitely a good thing. Ning's mother thought Ning Jiaxuan didn't have the ability. If Ning Jiaxuan wanted to enter the Architectural Design Institute, she had to use her family's connections and spend some money.
Ning's mother didn't sit for too long. After delivering the gifts and sitting for a while, she went back first. Su Xueqing sat on the sofa. She opened the box and looked at the jewelry inside. The jewelry looked gorgeous. She touched her neck, which was empty.
Su Xueqing didn't dare to wear jewelry when she went out, fearing that she would be robbed on the road. Also, she didn't have any jewelry originally, and the jewelry she had later was bought by the Ning family. This world is quite chaotic, and thefts and robberies happen from time to time. Without surveillance, it is difficult to find out who is responsible. Su Xueqing went to and from school by herself, and she was very careful, so there was no need to appear too rich.
When Ning Yanjing returned to his residence, he saw Su Xueqing sitting on the sofa. Su Xueqing was a little dazed and she didn't notice that Ning Yanjing had come back.
"What are you thinking about?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"I was shocked." Su Xueqing came back to her senses, "Auntie came over and gave me a set of jewelry, saying it was to celebrate my admission into the Architectural Design Institute. She said your uncle-in-law told your auntie, and your auntie told her."
"I wanted to say it, but I was afraid you would be unhappy, so I didn't say it." Ning Yanjing said.
Su Xueqing thought this matter was important, but she didn't think it was so important to other people, so she didn't think about telling the Ning family. Unexpectedly, the Ning family knew about it so quickly.
"I said no, but Auntie insisted on giving it to me, so I took it." Su Xueqing said, "This set of jewelry is very expensive."
"It's just money." Ning Yanjing said.
"That's all?" Su Xueqing thought that she didn't have that much money. These people were too rich. She felt a little jealous of the rich.
Lin's family in the Grain Bureau, Lin's mother was surprised to hear that Su Xueqing had joined the Architectural Design Institute, even though she was not a formal employee, but just an assistant. Then she thought that Su Xueqing's fiancé's family was the Ning family, so it was normal for Su Xueqing to join the Architectural Design Institute so early.
"Don't think about Amelia Su. She is now with the Ning family, living a luxurious life." Mother Lin said, "She even entered the Architectural Design Institute. If she followed you, would you let her in so quickly?"
"I……"
"I think that girl from the Normal School is pretty good." Lin's mother said, "You've seen her too. She's more dignified and elegant."
"Is that dignified and elegant?" Lin Jincai didn't think so. "The chin is so long that it's about to collapse."
The girl had a long head, and was neither fat nor thin. It might be hereditary, and her chin looked a little folded. Lin Jincai had taken a fancy to Su Xueqing before, mainly because of her beauty. The female students in the Normal School were considered average-looking, not ugly, but with Su Xueqing as a comparison, Lin Jincai felt that the girl was too ugly.
"I asked you to go on a blind date, but you said this one's chin is ugly, and that one's eyes are small." Lin's mother said, "You've been picking and choosing, but you haven't decided yet. Are you thinking of waiting for Su Xueqing to be dumped by her fiancé? Will you take over? Let's not talk about whether you can wait, but if you wait, if you take over, won't it offend the Ning family?"
"I……"
"Listen to mom, don't think about her." Lin's mother said, "There is no fate between you two, it's not suitable. She graduated from a normal school and can be a teacher. This school is considered a good one. It's not a technical secondary school, but an undergraduate school. It's easy for her to stay in the city. When the time comes, let her go to the middle school affiliated to the Grain Bureau, right? Your dad can get it done in a few words."
"Mom, I..."
"If you don't want this one, which one do you want?" Lin's mother said, "Don't let this one get you by then. This one is good. She works at the school and is close to home, so it's convenient for her to take care of the kids. That's it, this one. You can ask her out to play later to strengthen your relationship. I think she's also very anxious. She's about to graduate. If she doesn't settle down, she'll have to go to those small places."
The female student from the normal school was older than Su Xueqing, but Lin Jincai himself was not young, and the female college student was not older than Lin Jincai.
"If you don't want to, there are people who are willing." Lin's mother said, "There's a queue behind you."
"Okay, as you say." Lin Jincai was helpless. He wanted to choose a better one, but there was no better choice for him.
"You can't just look at the school, you also have to look at the job unit, whether it's easy to assign a job, and whether it's stable." Lin's mother said, "Now some state-owned factories have been sold to private individuals, and it's impossible for private individuals to keep everyone. Don't assign a job one foot and then lose it the next. The teachers in the school are good, and the children have to go to school and need teachers."
It's not that Lin's mother didn't want to find a female student from Nancheng University for Lin Jincai, but it's not that easy to find one. Some of them are arrogant and proud. There are very few female students from Nancheng University who are willing to come for a blind date and rely on the man to stay in Nancheng. Many of those who come for a blind date are like Yu Li, who puts on airs and puts herself on a pedestal. Lin's mother doesn't want a daughter-in-law who is uncontrollable, but an obedient, sensible and filial daughter-in-law.
On weekends, Su Xueqing went to work at the Architectural Research Institute. She had work experience in her previous life, so she worked quickly and steadily.
Han Fang was stunned when she saw Su Xueqing finish the work so quickly.
"So fast?" Han Fang asked.
"Not fast." Su Xueqing felt that she was rusty, not as fast as in her previous life. In her previous life, there were computers, and it could be faster.
"Isn't that fast?" Han Fang asked, "Aren't you afraid that the teacher will say you didn't read it carefully and it was too fast?"
"What are you talking about?" Professor Guo tapped Han Fang who was sitting on her seat with a rolled-up paper.
Han Fang was hit on the head. When she turned around and saw Professor Guo, she was a little scared.
"I'm talking about you, Han Fang." Professor Guo said, "You don't have enough ability, so you can only rely on time to make up for it. You should be thankful that with time, at most you will have a few more gray hairs, but not a whole head of gray hair."
"Teacher..." Han Fang didn't want a head full of white hair, even a few more white hairs would be ok.
"If you don't want gray hair, you can choose to be bald." Professor Guo said.
Han Fang looked at Su Xueqing: Look, this is how the teacher treats me, woooo.
The villain in Han Fang’s heart was crying, the teacher was too vicious.
Professor Guo looked at the information compiled by Su Xueqing and nodded, "You are much better than your senior sister. You did a good job."
"..." Su Xueqing didn't say anything, she looked at Han Fang.
"Han Fang, you should reorganize yourself and stop slacking off." Professor Guo said, "With your current condition, do you still want to get a good job after you graduate?"
Professor Guo took a quick look at Han Fang's work and found some problems.
"Which one of you two is the graduate student?" Professor Guo asked.
"Teacher, aren't you afraid that I will turn around and bully my junior schoolmates?" Han Fang couldn't help but ask. Isn't it easy for people to feel resentful when a teacher suppresses them like this?
"Do you dare?" Professor Guo raised his eyebrows. "Instead of looking for the reason in yourself, you look for it in your junior schoolmate. You are capable."
Professor Guo was very relieved. Han Fang dared to say this, which meant that Han Fang did not dare to bully Su Xueqing.
During lunch, Han Fang and Su Xueqing complained about Professor Guo.
"He always says that we are slow and fussy. No, he says that he is talking about me and other students, not you." Han Fang said, "We also say that he is picky."
"People in our industry strive for perfection," Su Xueqing said. "Buildings are not ordinary things. We have to stay in them. If something goes wrong, a small problem may lead to a big problem. It's right for the teacher to want to do better. In our industry, we can't just do it halfway."
"We also know that strict teachers produce excellent students, so just bear with it." Han Fang said, "Today, I saw several people passing by our office, and when the door was not closed, several people poked their heads in."
"I didn't notice." Su Xueqing said.
"I guess they're looking at you." Han Fang said, "Those people know that a beautiful lady has come to our company, and they all want to see what you look like."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Su Xueqing said.
"Yes, some people even asked me if I had a partner. When I told them I did, they were disappointed and said if you don't have a partner, they can introduce you to one." Han Fang said, "It's not just you. I don't have a partner, and those people also want to introduce me to one."
"It's okay to introduce a good candidate." Su Xueqing said.
"What good partner can there be? Sometimes, they are just ugly." Han Fang whispered, "Their relatives, who are registered in Nancheng and have not even graduated from junior high school, dare to introduce them to me."
"Ah?" Su Xueqing thought of her past life when she was at work. Those people who introduced her were also relatives. Some of them were not on the payroll but auxiliary police, and they had a low monthly salary. The good ones had urban hukou, a place to live, and just needed to make some money to eat. Others praised Su Xueqing in front of them, saying how good that person was, but Su Xueqing would not see them.
"If I meet her, it will hurt me. If I don't meet her, she will think I look down on her." Han Fang said, "The teacher came out and told me to do my job well so that I can graduate on time. The teacher didn't say that I can't go on blind dates. I can still go on blind dates. The teacher said something, and I can use the teacher as an excuse, which makes me feel much more relaxed."
Han Fang told Su Xueqing about her experience. She liked her junior Su Xueqing very much and she performed very well.
"The teacher is still very good." Su Xueqing said.
"Well, yes, generally speaking." Han Fang nodded in agreement.
Some people in the Architectural Design Institute discussed Amelia Su. Some said that Amelia Su relied on connections, and some said that Amelia Su was beautiful... They talked about it privately, but they didn't say it in front of Amelia Su. If it was just relying on personal strength, it wouldn't matter if they suppressed it. If it was relying on connections, it would depend on whose connections were stronger.
Some people in the company have not even graduated from junior high school. They want to criticize a college student? Do they think that they can suppress others because they have worked for many years and have a lot of experience? Be careful, don't step on the wrong path.
Now many units have made changes, and some people are still worried about being kicked out. Fortunately, units like theirs will not kick people out at will, so they can just blend in. When encountering problems, they can push them to others if they can, and if they can't push them, they can just drag others along and do it anyway.
This world is a huge makeshift team. All these people think about is getting paid, getting more and doing less.
Time passed day by day, and Yu Jiachao's wedding banquet was still three or four days away. The Yu family had already confirmed the people who would help with the banquet, including the cooks and waiters.
Su's mother planned to take two days off in advance to go over and help, but Su's father didn't need to take leave, as the wedding banquet happened to be on the weekend.
Amelia Su had no money, so she went to Su Yanan.
"Do you have money? Lend me ten dollars." Amelia Su went to Su Yanan's house, "So that I can give Yu Jiachao a red envelope."
"You don't need so much money to give a red envelope." Su Yanan brought the cut apples and placed them on the table.
"No, it's already December, isn't it?" Amelia Su said, "It's almost February, and my due date is in the first month. Speaking of which, my child and my younger sister can have birthdays in one month. Going to the hospital costs money, and your brother-in-law is a temporary worker, working alone, and has to pay rent. We've only been back in the city for a short time, and we're short on money. I'm asking you to borrow money now, so we can borrow it all together, so that we don't have to ask you to borrow money again later. Just ask once, and that's it."
"I'll lend you this money, so you can spend it sparingly, or you'll have to ask others to pay for it when you're hospitalized." Su Yanan said. She didn't say she wouldn't lend money. Ten yuan was fine, but no more. Don't say she's cruel as a younger sister. Every family has to make a living, and there are more places to spend money at the end of the year. Many people like to hold weddings at the end of the year and in the first month of the year, and the amount of money to be given as gifts is also high. "When you give birth to a child and sit in confinement, when the child is a few months old... when your third sister-in-law gives birth to a child and your mother retires, you can leave the child to your mother and go find a job."
"It's not easy to find." Amelia Su said, "At least you have to wait until the child is weaned. If the child is not weaned, and you go to work, you still have to express milk, and the child will still cry with hunger at home."
"You have your reasons." Su Yanan was helpless. "Don't come up with other reasons not to work. I'm not saying that my brother-in-law's salary is only for one person. If he was a regular employee, it would be fine. Temporary workers get less money and it's not stable. It's best if you can work. Children need money to go to school. You can't expect your parents to pay for the tuition for both of your children."
"I didn't ask my parents to pay for the tuition of the baby in my belly." Amelia Su said, "Shanshan, when she grows up...we have no choice. We don't have a house. It's okay for her to live with her grandmother, but it's not convenient for her to live with us. You are better. You have a house with three rooms and you can live comfortably."
"My mother-in-law doesn't live here. If she does, it won't be easy to live here." Su Yanan said, "You decide for yourself. I'll have no money to lend you next time after I borrowed the money this time. I have three children and I don't have a job, so I have a lot of expenses."
Su Yanan was afraid that Amelia Su would ask her to borrow money next time. If it weren’t for the sake of their sisterhood and the fact that Amelia Su had been to the countryside, Amelia Su would never lend money to Amelia Su.
“Borrow money from me, don’t borrow money from my little sister.” Su Yanan reminded Amelia Su, “It’s not easy for my little sister.”
“She entered that architectural institute and said there was a subsidy.” Amelia Su said.
"She can get a few subsidies, and if they are enough for her to spend, that's good enough." Su Yanan said, "The rest of the money is given by her fiancé and her future in-laws, isn't it? If you ask her for money, it's the same as asking her future in-laws for money. My little sister is going to get married and live her own life in the future, so don't make things difficult for them."
As sisters, Su Yanan could talk to Amelia Su more. The two were close in age and grew up together, so the relationship between them was deeper. The relationship between Amelia Su and Amelia Su was much shallower, and Amelia Su would not say the same thing about Amelia Su as Su Yanan did.
“I didn’t ask her for money, I came directly to you to borrow money.” Amelia Su said, “My little sister can’t lend me money, why should I go over there and wait for her to refuse me? I don’t want to lose face!”
Amelia Su still wanted to show off her eldest sister’s style, “Even if I want to find a job in the future, I won’t ask her for help!”
"You said it yourself." Su Yanan said.
Because Amelia Su and Su Sansao were both pregnant, they did not go to the Yu family to help early, so Su's mother and Su Yanan planned to go there to help early. Some of the things for the Yu family's wedding banquet were bought cheaply by Su Yanan's husband.
Aunt Su's eldest son and his wife came with their children, and her second daughter also came with a child. There was no room at home, so Aunt Su could only let her second daughter and grandson sleep on the floor in the living room.
"Mom." Yu Chunhua looked at her mother. She came here not only to attend her youngest brother's wedding, but also to let her son stay in the city. She had just come back and thought about waiting until her brother's wedding was over before saying anything. "Are my eldest brother and his family going to stay in the city?"
