Chapter 46: Will we only arrest that person when something happens?
After Yu Guochao and his wife came back, the atmosphere in the Yu family changed.
Yu Jiachao and his wife originally thought that Yu Guochao and his wife might not come back at this time, but they happened to come back at this time. Yu Jiachao and his wife had already bought most of the New Year gifts and other things. Of course, the money was paid by Su Xiao's uncle. Even so, Yu Jiachao and his wife were still not very happy.
Now that everyone is here, we still have to be polite to each other on the surface. The house still has to be shared out.
At night, when Yu Jiachao and his wife were talking, they all thought that Yu Guochao and his wife deliberately came back at this time in order to take advantage of them.
"They asked mom to borrow some more money later," Zhu Baoqian said. "How can they pay back so much money? My uncle has been reported and his salary has been reduced. If they go to my uncle to borrow money again, what will he lend them?"
"Uncle can't lend me money." Yu Jiachao said, "There are two pregnant women over there. Mr. Cousin, please buy some eggs when the time comes."
"Do we consider these eggs to be given by us, or by your parents?" Zhu Baoqian asked. "There are some rules here. If they are considered to be bought by your parents, they have to pay for them. Others will think that your eldest brother also got a share of the money. I don't want to give money to your eldest brother and his wife to save face."
"You can go with mom when the time comes." Yu Jiachao said, "Let mom buy eggs."
"Okay, let's do it this way." Zhu Baoqian said.
The Su family didn't care whether Yu Guochao had returned to the city. What they wanted was for Su Xueqing to come back for the New Year.
"Where did your partner spend the New Year? Did he go back to his parents' home?" Su's mother asked, "You haven't gotten married yet, so it's only natural for you to go back to your own homes to have New Year's Eve dinner."
A pot of meat filling was bought on the table. The Su family made dumplings in advance and put them in the refrigerator to freeze. There were too many things to prepare for the New Year, and Su's mother also planned to make some nougat. There were children at home, so it was cheaper to make some by yourself.
"I haven't asked him yet, but he should go back to his parents' house to have the New Year's Eve dinner." Su Xueqing said.
"Then come back home and eat." Su's mother said, "Ask your father to buy some front leg meat and some tenderloin, and make flat meat for you."
"Okay, I like the flat meat made at home the most. It tastes good and is crispy." Su Xueqing looked at her thin arms, "I can't beat it."
"Just eat." Su's mother said, "You don't have to do these. You can still have the New Year's Eve dinner at home while you're still married. Make more."
"Even if you get married, it's not like you can't come back for the New Year's Eve dinner." Su Xueqing deliberately said, "Mom, do you dislike your daughter and want to throw her out early?"
"No, you can come back anytime you want." Mother Su said, "Tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you."
“Mom, you didn’t even ask me what I wanted to eat, you only asked my little sister.” Amelia Su said.
"You eat at home every day, do you still need to ask?" Su's mother said, "You are about to give birth, don't eat too much. If you eat too much, the baby will be too big and it will be difficult to give birth."
"How can a child grow up if he doesn't eat meat once a week?" Su Yamei said. She ate at the Su family. The Su family could eat meat four or five times a month, which was very good. It was impossible for them to eat meat every day.
Amelia Su still felt that she ate too little, and it was impossible for her to feel that she ate too much.
“It’s my third sister-in-law, she eats a lot.” Amelia Su knew that these people secretly gave Third Sister-in-law Su extra food.
The Su family did give Su Sansao extra food, but she ate little meat. Meat was expensive, so she was very happy to have some steamed eggs with minced meat.
"Let your man make it for you, and you can eat more." Su's mother said, "Don't move around with a big belly."
“I’m here to my mother’s house, not to wander around.” Amelia Su said.
Su Xueqing ignored Su Yamei and helped make dumplings. Her dumplings were not as good-looking as Su's mother's, and some chive leaves were even exposed. The dumplings made by Su's mother were almost the same. Su Xueqing had to press the dumplings twice more, for fear that the dumplings would fall apart when they were put into the pot. When Su Xueqing made one dumpling, Su's mother had already made several dumplings.
“Are we eating dumplings today?” Amelia Su leaned over to take a look.
"Eat it on New Year's Eve, not today." said Su's mother.
"I packed so much..."
"This is considered a small amount." Su's mother said, "Cook it and the whole family can sit together and eat it all in one meal."
Su's mother was reluctant to cook dumplings tonight. During the Chinese New Year, the family could indulge in dumplings, chickens, ducks, etc. On weekdays, the Su family didn't have such luxury. Eating meat was the best thing. Most of the time, they ate vegetables. Su's mother sometimes felt that the refrigerator was not very useful. They didn't have many dishes.
“I thought we were going to eat it today.” Amelia Su said, “My little sister didn’t eat at home, so why don’t you cook?”
Su's mother frowned, "It doesn't matter whether your little sister is at home or not, just wait until the New Year."
Su Xueqing had lunch at home before going back. Su Xueqing returned to her residence and took a nap. When she went downstairs, she found that Ning Yanjing had brought back a lot of things.
"New Year's gift?" Su Xueqing asked.
"I have to see my uncle and aunt off." Ning Yanjing said.
Ning Yanjing and Su Xueqing are already engaged, and they are an engaged couple. Ning Yanjing has to send a New Year gift to the Su family.
"During the Chinese New Year, you go home for the New Year's Eve dinner, and I go home for the New Year's Eve dinner too." Su Xueqing said.
"My elder brother and his wife didn't come back this year." Ning Yanjing said.
"Not coming back?" Su Xueqing asked, "I mean, do you want to come back later?"
"Yes." Ning Yanjing nodded. "The northwest is slow to come back to the south city, so they just stayed in the northwest. My parents asked them a long time ago, and they said they would wait and see, but in the end they didn't come back."
"They...then you really should spend more time with your parents." Su Xueqing said.
"Come over after the New Year's Eve dinner." Ning Yanjing said.
When Ning Yanjing was preparing the New Year gift, he did not ask Wei Dashan how much he would give. Not all the gifts had to be the same as Wei Dashan's. Wei Dashan gave less, so Ning Yanjing also gave less. This would not be good, because others would wonder why Su Xueqing found such a stingy partner.
Two days before the Chinese New Year, when Ning Yanjing and Su Xueqing were delivering something to the Su family, they happened to see Wei Dashan carrying a fish. Wei Dashan's legs and feet had improved a lot, and he didn't fall too badly. He was still using a cane, and he had to wait for a while before taking off the cane.
Wei Dashan had little money, and when he spent the New Year in the countryside, everyone liked to give fish as gifts. Wei Dashan simply bought a bigger fish and gave it to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. When he saw that Ning Yanjing was carrying a lot of things, he decided to go to the Su family with Ning Yanjing.
The things are placed there, so one fish won’t become two fish just because Wei Dashan delivers it late.
When Su's mother and others saw what Wei Dashan and Ning Yanjing were carrying, they did not complain that the things Wei Dashan brought were too few.
"Put it there for now." Su's mother took the fish in Wei Dashan's hand to the backyard. She filled a basin in the corner of the backyard with water and dripped some water with a pipe. With running water, the fish would not easily turn white and die.
Ning Yanjing nodded to Wei Dashan, who was a little reserved. Wei Dashan felt that he looked weak in front of Ning Yanjing, even though he looked bigger.
"Dad, Mom, let's go back first." Su Xueqing pulled Ning Yanjing away.
Su Xueqing glanced at Wei Dashan and felt a little embarrassed, so she decided to leave first.
"Are you leaving just to sit for a while?" Su's mother returned to the living room from the backyard.
"Go back first." Su Xueqing said, "The results of our school are out, I'll go back and take a look."
Su Xueqing's final exam results came out a long time ago, and she had already seen them. She found an excuse to go back first. After Su Xueqing went to college, the Su family did not pay attention to Su Xueqing's grades. They all thought that Su Xueqing went to college and achieved her ultimate goal. Su Xueqing never needed the Su family to worry about her. She knew how to work hard.
Ning Yanjing also knew that Su Xueqing's results had come out a long time ago, but he did not point it out, and went with Su Xueqing. If Ning Yanjing and Su Xueqing did not leave, then Wei Dashan would go. Wei Dashan could not leave, and he was going to help with some work.
The Su family's living room is so small, and with so many people standing there at once, it feels a bit oppressive.
"I wonder if my second sister and her husband have come to deliver anything." Su Xueqing returned to her residence and told Ning Yanjing. She was afraid that if she met her second sister and her husband outside, the atmosphere would be even more awkward. "I thought my eldest sister and her husband had already delivered something. Who would have thought that they would wait until today to deliver it."
If Su Xueqing knew that Wei Dashan was going to send her off at this time, it wouldn't matter if she and Ning Yanjing were a little late, one or two hours late. People from both sides went together, there would be no harm without comparison.
Amelia Su was not embarrassed, she was afraid that Amelia Su and her husband would be hurt again.
"There may be situations like today in the future." Ning Yanjing said, "It's impossible for every situation to be equal."
"Yes." Su Xueqing said, "It doesn't matter. We will continue like this in the future. We don't have to worry about Big Sister and Big Brother-in-law being unhappy. After all, everyone gives gifts according to their own abilities."
"Yes." Ning Yanjing reached out and gently brushed Su Xueqing's hair on her forehead, "Don't worry about them."
If Wei Dashan's defense is broken because everyone does not send the same things, it is Wei Dashan's problem.
Wei Dashan was not defeated, he just felt that he was incapable. Wei Dashan thought of what Su's mother had said a few days ago about opening a shop to make steamed buns. Wei Dashan wanted to do it, but his cooking skills were average. Wei Dashan also thought that making steamed buns was mainly about the fillings. If the fillings tasted good and the dough fermented well, that would be great.
Wei Dashan was thinking whether he should learn how to make steamed buns. He had made steamed buns in the countryside, but he had never made steamed buns that were sold as commodities. Wei Dashan was willing to learn, and he wanted to ask Su Yamei later. The factory was not doing well, and the knife might fall on Wei Dashan's head, and Wei Dashan could not continue to work in the factory.
It takes strength to carry things, and it also takes strength to knead dough. Wei Dashan wanted to use as much strength as possible to knead the dough well.
Su's mother and others didn't know what Wei Dashan was thinking. They didn't mock Wei Dashan just because the New Year gift he gave was too little.
In the evening, Wei Dashan told Amelia Su about his thoughts.
“Do you know how to make buns? Just go and do it?” Amelia Su asked.
"Mom also mentioned opening a bun shop before." Wei Dashan said.
"Who told you that?" Amelia Su asked.
"Dad said so." Wei Dashan said, "If Mom can do it, we can learn from her and do it."
"Aren't you afraid that mom will say you stole her job?" Amelia Su stared at Wei Dashan for a long time, "Are you sure you can make the buns well?"
"Not sure." Wei Dashan said, "I plan to make buns at home to see if I can make them well. If I can..."
“What kind of filling do you make?” Amelia Su asked, “I’m about to give birth and I have no money. What kind of filling do you make for the buns?”
“…” Wei Dashan was silent. He thought about Amelia Su’s childbirth. Having a second child would cost more, so he thought about opening a bun shop.
"Dad said that to you because mom and dad have enough money to buy the store." Amelia Su said, "We don't have enough money to buy the store, so we can only sell it. Mom wants to do it, so we can do it too!"
"Ask mom." Wei Dashan said. After all, it was Su's mother who first thought of opening a steamed bun shop. Wei Dashan was stimulated by the things Ning Yanjing sent today. He wanted to make more money.
"Ask after the Chinese New Year." Amelia Su said, "In the first month of the lunar year, I gave birth to a child, so you ask. You can try it while I am in confinement. The buns my mother makes are delicious. If she is willing to teach you, it's not bad. I'm just afraid that she... I'm afraid she won't be willing to teach you."
Being a son-in-law is not that important!
Amelia Su thought that if her mother didn't teach her, it didn't matter. It was just making steamed buns. She could do it herself, but it wasn't as delicious. Amelia Su regretted that she hadn't learned how to make steamed buns from her mother before. Her mother had taught Amelia Su before, but Amelia Su didn't pay much attention, so the steamed buns she made tasted a little worse.
Yu Li did not go home for the Chinese New Year. She failed another course, which gave her a headache. She finally succeeded in retaking a course, but failed again. Yu Li decided to change her major. She had to change her major. The courses in the second semester of her sophomore year and her junior year would be even more difficult. Yu Li was worried that if she failed again, she would be expelled and would not be able to graduate smoothly. She had finally been admitted to Nancheng University.
Xiang Yutong went back home for the New Year, and Yu Li stayed in the dormitory alone. Yu Li went to find the teacher who failed her subject, and it was not Professor Guo who failed her, but another teacher. The teacher did not change Yu Li's grade, but asked Yu Li to study hard.
Ning Jiaxuan said this when she came to play with Su Xueqing.
"I don't know." Su Xueqing said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve."
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I can't come over to play with you today?" Ning Jiaxuan raised her eyebrows. "I originally wanted to buy new clothes with you, but you've been busy, and my brother wants you to accompany him, so I can only come over now."
"Yes, of course I can come." Su Xueqing nodded.
"Yu Li should change her major next semester." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"She could change her major when she was a freshman," Su Xueqing said. "At that time, the counselor told everyone to think carefully and not to rush into changing majors."
In my freshman year, several people in my class changed their majors, but some failed to change and had to continue studying in their original majors. Some majors require freshmen to change majors, and those majors do not accept sophomores.
"Do you know what she is doing?" Ning Jiaxuan raised her eyebrows, looking mysterious.
"What to do?" Su Xueqing asked.
"She's on a blind date." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Looking for a good partner."
"Blind date?" Su Xueqing opened her eyes wide. Ning Jiaxuan went to school only rarely, so how could she know so much?
Su Xueqing felt that she was out of date as she didn't even know about this.
"Didn't I participate in the activities of the ballroom dance club before?" Ning Jiaxuan said, "I told you at that time that I heard someone talking about a blind date. I heard it right. It was a blind date. It seemed that they went on a blind date through a matchmaker. They were really bold and were not afraid of being cheated at all."
“…” Su Xueqing really didn’t know that there was such a thing.
"I don't know if the school knows about it, but it's spreading among the school privately." Ning Jiaxuan said, "It's not just Yu Li who went on a blind date. There are other people who went on a blind date. In order to stay in Nancheng and get a Nancheng residence, they went on a blind date."
"If there is no fraud, the school can't do anything about it. At most, it will remind the students." Su Xueqing said, "The school doesn't have a clear rule that you can't date or get married in school. Do they have to pay for blind dates?"
"No need." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Why are you concerned about money?"
"Free things are always the most expensive." Su Xueqing said, "Even if you spend money, you may get scammed and end up with nothing."
"Take a shortcut." Ning Jiaxuan said, "If you have the chance, why not take it. I used to think you were more realistic, but you are not realistic enough, or you are too naive. Those people are truly realistic."
"I'm naive?" Su Xueqing was surprised. How could she be naive? She was obviously very rational and she was not a silly girl.
"Innocent and cute." Ning Jiaxuan reached out and rubbed Su Xueqing's cheek, "Very cute."
Ning Jiaxuan thought about it for a moment and realized that the matchmaker was treating the college students as resources. The college students thought they didn't spend any money, but they made money, but they didn't know that the matchmaker was the one who made the most money.
"If I didn't have you as a friend, I wouldn't pay much attention to these things." Ning Jiaxuan thought that if she hadn't been friends with Su Xueqing, she would have stayed at home more often and rarely gone to school. She would just take the final exam and the teacher would give her a suitable score, and the Ning family would donate some money to the school. Now that she's been admitted to university, the final exam score is easy to talk about.
After Ning Jiaxuan paid more attention to school affairs, she found that there were many things behind it. The school was not as clear and simple as she thought. The students in the school were like a group of fish in a lake. When someone came to throw bait, a group of fish emerged. When no bait was thrown, the fish scattered, making people think that there were few fish in the lake.
"Then you should pay more attention to it." Su Xueqing said, "Don't be as naive as me. Understand more."
Su Xueqing looked at Ning Jiaxuan and thought about the original novel. Su Xueqing hoped that when the original novel's plot developed to Ning Jiaxuan, Ning Jiaxuan would not be like the original novel. Ning Jiaxuan should be proud and unrestrained, and she should not break her wings for a man.
After spending a long time with Ning Jiaxuan, Su Xueqing found that Ning Jiaxuan's foreign language skills were really good. Whether it was oral or written, Ning Jiaxuan could do it very well. Such Ning Jiaxuan would not be unable to communicate with the locals when living abroad.
"Yeah." Ning Jiaxuan nodded. She couldn't help it and still wanted to rub Su Xueqing's cheek. It was so soft.
"Is that enough?" Ning Yanjing watched for a long time. His sister had been rubbing his fiancée's face for a long time. He felt that his fiancée's face was almost red.
Ning Yanjing couldn't help it, so he came over after all. Ning Yanjing pulled Ning Jiaxuan's hand down, preventing her from touching Su Xueqing any further.
"Brother, are you so stingy? I haven't seen Xueqing for several days." Ning Jiaxuan curled her lips.
"Find a partner and rub his/her face, but don't touch other people's partners." Ning Yanjing said.
"Other brothers don't want their sisters to find a partner so quickly, but you want your sister to find a partner early." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Brother, you are not the same person as before?"
"Wasn't I like this before?" Ning Yanjing asked back.
"..." Ning Jiaxuan thought about her former brother. It seemed that her brother used to be like this. She was speechless. Ning Jiaxuan took a deep breath, "If it weren't for me, would you have met Xueqing? Brother, Xueqing should have had my share!"
Su Xueqing wanted to look up at the sky. Did they treat her as a piece of cake?
Ning Jiaxuan ran to the other side, she hugged Su Xueqing tightly, and looked at her brother provocatively, "I rubbed it, I hugged it!"
"Okay, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Su Xueqing asked.
On New Year's Eve, Ning Yanjing went to the Ning family in the morning, and Su Xueqing returned to the Su family in the afternoon.
Su Xueqing prepared some one dollar and wrapped several red envelopes with one dollar each. After the New Year's Eve dinner, she gave the red envelopes to the children. Su Xueqing did not prepare red envelopes for Su's father and mother. She did not have a job yet and had only a small subsidy, so it was not appropriate for her to give her parents a large red envelope. Su Xueqing did, but Su's mother and father refused to accept it. Su Xueqing bought a coat for Mrs. Su, but not for Su's father and mother.
Amelia Su was jealous when she saw Su Xueqing bringing a mink coat to Old Lady Su.
“Did you buy this? Or did your boyfriend buy it?” Amelia Su asked, “You didn’t bring it here the past two days, but you brought it here today?”
"Bring it here today. You can't return it at this time." Su Xueqing said.
Su Xueqing was afraid that the old lady Su would ask her to return the clothes. A good piece of clothing can be worn for many years. Su Xueqing did not plan to return the clothes. The people who sell clothes may have two prices before and after the New Year, and they will not allow returns. The old lady is also willing to believe that there are two prices before and after the New Year, so she will not think about returning the clothes.
"Grandma has worked hard for so many years, it's only right for her to wear better clothes." Su Xueqing said.
“I thought you gave it to grandma on purpose in front of me.” Amelia Su said.
“You come to my parents’ house every day, and when I come here, how many times have I not met you?” Amelia Su didn’t indulge Amelia Su, she directly retorted.
“I…” Amelia Su thought about it carefully, and it was really as she said to Amelia Su.
During the New Year's Eve dinner, Third Sister Su smiled and asked Amelia Su to eat more, but she didn't even ask Amelia Su. Amelia Su eats here every day, so why does she need to be asked by others? Seeing Third Sister Su being so enthusiastic towards Amelia Su, Amelia Su felt even worse.
“Dad, Mom, grandma, I have something to announce.” Amelia Su said deliberately.
The Su family didn't expect Amelia Su to say this. Wei Dashan also looked at Amelia Su. Wei Dashan was wondering what to announce? Was it to announce the child's name?
"Dashan and I are planning to open a steamed bun shop." Amelia Su said, "Dashan injured his foot as a porter. If he gets hurt once, he will get hurt again. We can't let him get hurt again."
"..." Su's mother was obviously not very happy when she heard this. She had talked to her husband about opening a steamed bun shop before. Su's mother was going to do it when she retired. What did Amelia Su mean by saying this at this time?
"Dad, Mom, you have money to lend to Guochao Jiachao, do you have money to lend to us to open a store?" Amelia Su said, "You can be considered as shareholders, what about my little sister? Will you join in?"
“I won’t join.” Su Xueqing didn’t get involved in Amelia Su’s affairs.
"Let's talk about such a big thing after you give birth to the baby," said Su's mother.
"Mom, Dad can't even take care of himself in the factory." Amelia Su said, "Dashan is a temporary worker, he will be fired sooner or later. It's better for him to leave on his own than for others to let him go. Dashan's buns are not cooked enough, you can teach him. Don't you always say that if you have a skill, you don't have to worry about not having food to eat?"
Su Xueqing lowered her head and ate the flat meat quietly. The flat meat tasted good.
Mrs. Su San picked up a chicken leg for Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing looked up at Mrs. Su San, and Mrs. Su San gestured to Su Xueqing to eat quickly.
Su Xueqing saw that the atmosphere seemed a little strange, so she didn't marry the chicken leg to Old Lady Su, she ate the chicken leg. It's not that Su Xueqing couldn't eat a chicken leg.
"Do you know that it costs money to sell a shop?" Su's mother asked.
"We can sell the store instead of buying it. We can push the cart over there first." Amelia Su said, "If the business is good, we can buy the store later, so you won't have to accuse us of wasting money."
"Let's eat first." Mrs. Su said, "We'll talk about it later."
Mrs. Su was unhappy. Amelia Su said, does it have to be discussed at the New Year’s Eve dinner?
“Grandma, I just want to make progress.” Amelia Su said.
Amelia Su didn't care whether Amelia Su wanted to make progress or not, she was going to slip away after finishing the New Year's Eve dinner. When Amelia Su was about to leave after finishing her meal, she happened to see Ning Yanjing at the door.
"Yan Jing." Su Xueqing's eyes lit up, and she quickly trotted to Ning Yanjing's side.
"Have you eaten?" Su's mother hurried to Ning Yanjing.
"I've eaten." Ning Yanjing said, "I'll come pick up Xueqing."
"Okay, Xueqing has just finished eating, you guys go back first." Su's mother said.
Su Xueqing walked with Ning Yanjing. After walking for a while, Su Xueqing took out a red envelope from her pocket.
"Forgot..." Su Xueqing originally wanted to give Wei Shanshan a red envelope, but now she thinks it's better not to give it.
"Is it for my uncle and aunt?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"No, it's for the children." Su Xueqing said, "Now, I won't give it to you. I'd better be stingy. How about giving it to you? The red envelope is very small, don't despise it."
"Here." When Ning Yanjing took the red envelope, he also handed a red envelope to Su Xueqing.
"Hmm?" Su Xueqing was puzzled. "You gave it to me?"
"Celebrate that you are one step closer to the legal age for marriage." Ning Yanjing said.
"The legal age for marriage is one year old." Su Xueqing received the red envelope. She opened it in front of Ning Yanjing. Inside was a 100-yuan note. She deliberately said, "It's very thin."
"In a few days, go meet your future parents-in-law and ask them to wrap you a big one." Ning Yanjing held Su Xueqing's hand tightly and put her hand into his pocket. "I'll ask them to wrap it thicker."
"How can you say that?" Su Xueqing used her other hand to gently hit Ning Yanjing's arm twice, her eyebrows trembling slightly, "Do your parents think that I am a money-loving person?"
"It's good to love money. I just want to make more money." Ning Yanjing tilted his head towards Su Xueqing.
Snowflakes were falling from the sky, light snow, not heavy snow. Ning Yanjing and Su Xueqing walked back slowly. There were children setting off firecrackers on the road, and Su Xueqing got closer to Ning Yanjing, as she didn't like the sound of firecrackers. Ning Yanjing hugged Su Xueqing and protected her.
When Amelia Su talked about opening a bun shop in front of the Su family, Wei Dashan didn't dare to say anything and could only listen to Amelia Su.
The Su family was still okay. Amelia Su announced that she was going to open a steamed bun shop, but it wasn't a big fuss. The Yu family couldn't even eat the New Year's Eve dinner peacefully. They almost got into a fight and said they didn't want to eat together in the future. They had to eat separately and do their own things.
Xu Ruyun's elder brother came back, and Xu's mother was very happy. There were not enough rooms at home, so Xu Ruyun had to vacate a room and sleep in the living room. She was used to sleeping alone, so it was a bit strange for her to sleep in the living room at this time. In order to make more money, Xu Ruyun used the money she earned to buy goods instead of renting a house. She planned to make more money during the Chinese New Year and rent a house after the Chinese New Year.
"I've been looking forward to your return." Xu's mother's eyes were red. "Come, come, come, come in quickly and eat something first."
Su Xueqing's birthday was on the 16th day of the first lunar month, and Su Yamei's son was born on the 14th day of the first lunar month. Su Yamei gave birth in the hospital, and her mother rushed over. She waited outside the delivery room for Su Yamei to give birth. Su Yamei gave birth naturally, very smoothly, without suffering, unlike when she gave birth to Wei Shanshan, which took a long time. This made Su Yamei feel that her son loved her as his biological mother, and she valued her son even more.
Wei Dashan had already named the child Wei Yaozu, which means to bring honor to the family.
When Aunt Su came to deliver the eggs, Yu Jiachao's wife actually followed Aunt Su. Zhu Baoqian was afraid that she would suffer a loss and was unwilling to pay more.
Time soon came to the end of May, and Su Sansao gave birth to a boy. Before Su Sansao gave birth, Amelia Su asked Su Sansao the gender of the baby in her belly many times, asking why Su Sansao didn't go check it out, and saying that Su's mother knew head nurse Wu.
Amelia Su was proud that she had given birth to a son, and she was showing off on purpose. Third Sister Su was too lazy to pay attention to Amelia Su, and it didn't matter whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl.
“It’s better to have a son, family planning, but if you give birth to a daughter, you can’t have another one,” Amelia Su said.
Last year, family planning was written into the Constitution, and various regions have gradually strictly implemented the family planning policy.
Yu Guochao and his wife have been back in the city for a few months, but they still haven't found a stable job and usually do odd jobs to make a living. Yu Guochao and his wife want Su Xiao's uncle to give his job to Yu Guochao, so that Yu Guochao can have a job and live a better life.
"Dad, you should retire early and let Guochao take over. Guochao will be filial to you." Yu Dasao said, "I've inquired about it. The policy can change at any time. Who knows, you may not be allowed to take over in the future. It would be great if you let Guochao take over while he can still do so."
Mrs. Yu knew how difficult life was in the city, so the two brothers ate separately, and Aunt Su and her husband ate with Yu Jiachao and his wife. This meant that Aunt Su and her husband would follow Yu Jiachao in the future.
Su Xiao's uncle frowned. He gave the job to the eldest brother, so the youngest brother would definitely not let him eat with his wife. The eldest brother owed so much money, so he would definitely not have any money left.
"You've worked so hard for so many years," said Mrs. Yu. "Let Guochao take over, and you can take a break."
Yu Guochao and his wife had no way to get Su Xueqing's boyfriend to arrange a job for them, so they set their sights on Su Xiao's uncle's job. Yu Jiachao had already told Su Xiao's uncle that Yu Guochao owed a lot of money, and even if Yu Guochao had a job, it would take several years to pay it back.
"Don't think about my job." Uncle Su said directly.
Aunt Su came to the Su family. Two months after Su Sansao gave birth to her child, Su's mother gave up her job to her. Su's mother stayed at home to take care of the child, and Wei Dashan also learned how to make steamed buns from Su's mother for a while. Wei Dashan was about to resign from the factory and stop being a temporary worker. He was going to sell steamed buns, including steamed buns, fried buns, and fish balls.
In order to learn these well, Wei Dashan not only learned from Su's mother, but also learned from professionals arranged by Su's father and mother. Wei Dashan can now make these things well and the taste is quite good.
Su's mother didn't plan to open a bun shop by herself. She had elderly people and children at home, so she couldn't leave. It was okay for Su's mother to help out at the bun shop occasionally, but it was not good for her to get up early every day to work at the bun shop. No one could do the housework without someone to do it.
"Your eldest son-in-law has a job, so you don't have to worry about him." Aunt Su sighed, "Guochao still doesn't have a job."
"I should have expected this to happen when I returned to the city," said Su's mother. "Not to mention Guochao, Yamei's husband will also have to leave the factory."
"Leave?" Aunt Su was surprised. "Didn't you say that my brother retired? Can Dashan continue to work there?"
"The factory's performance is not good, so there is not much to move." Su's mother said, "They only moved things for a few days last month, and there was no work for most of the month. He is a temporary worker, so there is no point in staying any longer. He took advantage of that time to learn cooking skills and prepare to sell buns."
"He...didn't you ask Xueqing's boyfriend to introduce a job to him?" asked Aunt Su.
"How can we introduce him? Dashan is only strong." Mother Su said, "What he can do, others can do too. Others are doing it well, why let him do it instead of letting others do it? It always troubles Xueqing that she has a bad partner, and she still has to find a way out for herself. Are you here for something?"
"No..." Aunt Su originally wanted to ask Su Xueqing's boyfriend if he could help introduce her to someone, but after hearing what Su's mother said, she didn't feel comfortable enough to ask again.
"Yamei is a little better now. Now that she has a son, she knows how to work." Su's mother said, "When she had only one daughter, she thought her daughter would get married sooner or later, and she didn't need to prepare dowry money, so she was lazy. Now, she knows how to help pound the fish balls, and she doesn't complain about the hard work."
Not only Su’s mother thought so, but Amelia Su also felt that Amelia Su had changed a lot.
"To be honest, she only has her son in her eyes, not her daughter." Su's mother said, "We don't expect her to care about Shanshan. We'll wait until they can make some money from selling buns."
"Yes..." Aunt Su sometimes felt that the Su family was really cruel. There was obviously a faster and better way, but they just didn't want to trouble Su Xueqing.
"All roads lead to Rome." Su's mother said, "You don't have to worry about Guochao's job. They can always find a job and survive."
"Yeah." Aunt Su forced a smile with difficulty. How could she not be worried? Others had come to ask the Yu family to pay back the money, but they had no money and could only drag it out.
Borrowing money from relatives and friends was fine, and he shamelessly delayed it. Yu Dasao's family urged Yu Guochao to pay it back several times. Yu Guochao had to send money back every month, as much as he could, at least two dollars a month.
Zhu Baoqian privately told Yu Jiachao that Yu Guochao was cheated by the Yue family. It was not Yu Jiachao and his wife who gave the money, so they naturally couldn't say more in front of Yu Guochao. Yu Guochao was willing to be cheated, that was Yu Guochao's business.
"Can you make money by selling buns?" asked Aunt Su.
"You'll know after you sell it." said Su's mother.
"What if we lose money?" Aunt Su asked again.
"It's a loss. Find something else to do. You won't starve to death." Mother Su knew that Auntie Su wanted to ask if Su Xueqing's boyfriend would arrange a job for Wei Dashan. Mother Su would never let Wei Dashan ask Su Xueqing's boyfriend for help. "If you don't stand up for yourself, you will rely on others all your life. Isn't there a saying in ancient times? Hold the power of life and death. If you rely on others and they are not happy, won't it still be a problem?"
During the summer vacation, Su Xueqing had more time to go to the construction site. When the construction site started on New Year's Day last year, Su Xueqing came and watched the leaders give speeches.
In the past, Su Xueqing didn't like to listen to the leaders' speeches, always thinking that they were all official words. Last New Year's Day, Su Xueqing still listened carefully. She was still a small shrimp at the bottom, and working in a related unit, she still had to know more about these people.
When the leader was speaking, he also praised Su Xueqing, directly mentioned Su Xueqing's name, and talked about her characteristics, saying that she worked hard and that she was a pillar of society.
Su Xueqing was a little confused when she heard it. She couldn’t help but wonder if she would be dug up in the Internet age?
With the praise from the leader, Su Xueqing had a much easier time at the construction site and the Architectural Design Institute. Others did not dare to trouble Su Xueqing easily. When Su Xueqing came to the construction site, some people questioned her at first. Some people thought her design was too fancy. There were always some people who thought others relied on connections and had no ability. Su Xueqing ignored those people. She could be responsible for her actions.
Because it had been raining for a while, and it rained again the past two days, several workers fell off the shelves and one worker died on the spot.
This matter has nothing to do with Su Xueqing. The building that the worker built was not designed by Su Xueqing, and Su Xueqing was not responsible for on-site supervision.
When something like this happens, someone has to be held responsible.
After the relevant departments investigated, they found that it was a relative who made a mistake, but the relative did not think it was a big deal. When the relevant leaders found out, they were very angry and called the police to arrest the person. They were accused of corruption, bribery, deductions at all levels, and there were also problems with the building materials.
This is a development zone that the leaders of Nancheng City attach great importance to, and it is a key project in the province. How could the leaders allow such a thing to happen? Now a few people fell from the shelf, and tomorrow, the building collapsed directly, and that would be a big deal.
Those people were very cunning when they transported the materials, and the materials that Su Xueqing and others saw were all good materials. Su Xueqing herself was not a leader, but a grassroots, and she did not stay at the construction site every day, so it was naturally more difficult for her to discover this. Even Han Fang, who often followed Professor Guo, did not discover it.
Something happened in the development zone, but Su Xueqing didn't panic. It was not her problem, so there was no need to be afraid.
"Just arrest that guy?" When Su Xueqing and Han Fang were having dinner in the cafeteria of the Architectural Design Institute, Han Fang whispered, "Has this matter been suppressed?"
