Chapter 54: The wound smells like medicine
"We learned from my mom." Amelia Su explained, "My mom makes pretty good steamed buns, so I inherited her skills. My husband and I learned from others for a while and spent money. We can do this well, so the money was not wasted. You guys give it a try, if it works, you can open a breakfast shop. At the beginning, you can push a cart to sell, or carry a bamboo basket to sell, that's what we did. When the situation gets better, we open a shop."
Amelia Su was very satisfied with the business in the store. She made more money than on the first day of opening, and sold better than when they went door to door. Everyone knew that they opened a breakfast shop here, and they knew the location, so they could come directly. Many people would buy groceries to take home in the morning, and some would buy them and eat them on the way to work in the morning.
“Many people here go to work.” Amelia Su said, “I don’t know the situation over there in your family, but give it a try anyway. If it doesn’t work, you can do something else.”
Amelia Su asked Yu Guochao and his wife to record it, and Sister Yu even looked through the seasonings, fearing that she would miss something. Amelia Su saw Sister Yu's actions and knew that Sister Yu thought they were hiding something. Amelia Su thought, what's the point of hiding something, there are delicious buns out there, it still depends on how much effort is put into making the buns.
At the Architectural Design Institute, Su Xueqing sorted out all the information about Yazui River, including the random information in the middle. The random information was marked with a special mark, and anyone with a little knowledge could see the problem at a glance. The stacks of information were almost half a meter high, and there was also other information.
Su Xueqing hadn't drawn the design of the bridge yet. How could she do it so quickly? It required a lot of materials to design it. If she drew it right away, she would think it was a problem, not to mention Professor Guo and the others. This was not a rush. No matter how fast she went, it would be useless. Su Xueqing didn't have the talent to survey the situation. All the existing and historical data were in her mind. She formed a plan right away. She was not AI, and AI wasn't that flexible.
"So much information?" Han Fang saw the information Su Xueqing brought.
"Not only that." Su Xueqing said, "There are also local chronicles that haven't been brought over."
"How many places did you go to for the materials?" Han Fang asked.
"Look for it wherever you can." Su Xueqing said.
"Are they willing to give you the materials?" Han Fang asked.
"Be sweet-mouthed." Su Xueqing said, "With official documents, others will not make things difficult for us and will cooperate."
When Su Xueqing went there, she also brought some gifts. These gifts were not paid for by the Architectural Design Institute, but by Su Xueqing herself. The more gifts, the less blame. The price of the gifts was not very high, but people felt happy when they saw them.
This was money Amelia Su spent voluntarily. She did not ask her leader for reimbursement, and it is not suitable for reimbursement.
"It's just a small gift, it doesn't have to be expensive." Su Xueqing said, "If you have money, buy some, if you don't have money, forget it."
Others didn't know Su Xueqing, and they didn't know who was behind her. It was impossible for Su Xueqing to go up and say that she was someone's unmarried daughter-in-law and ask others to help her. Su Xueqing had worked in her previous life, so she knew what to do.
People in this era don't dare to be too greedy, but they will still try to take advantage of small things.
"You are really awesome." Han Fang said. She understood the principle, but it was still difficult to do it.
Ning Yanjing arranged a driver for Su Xueqing, so Su Xueqing didn't need the company to arrange a car, she could go by herself. Su Xueqing didn't go to a remote place, she went to other units to do things, which was easy.
Su Xueqing put the information on the table. Not only Su Xueqing was going to look at this information, but Professor Guo and others were also going to look at it.
Professor Guo left the office and saw Su Xueqing got the information. He was quite satisfied. Professor Guo arranged for other students to do it. Some students said they couldn't do it, and said a lot of things, but Su Xueqing went straight to do it. It's no wonder that Professor Guo values Su Xueqing. Teachers like students who can do things. Students can understand without the teacher's hand-in-hand teaching, and teachers can be much more relaxed.
"Move to the conference room." Professor Guo said to the male students, "Don't let Xueqing move it alone, you guys move your hands. I asked you to do something else, but you can't do it. Can't you move things?"
Those students quickly stood up to move things. In fact, some people had already helped Su Xueqing move things. Those who were sitting had to do other things. It was not that they had nothing to do.
Those students were not unhappy. If Su Xueqing hadn't done those things, then they would have done them. Although Su Xueqing could do things beautifully, if it were someone else, they might not be able to do things so well.
"Junior, take a rest for a while." said a senior.
"It's okay." Su Xueqing said, "I'll move with you. There are age limits on these, so put them in order."
"Okay." The senior nodded.
It had been a while since she moved so many things. After Su Xueqing finished moving everything, she rubbed her waist, which was a little sore.
At noon, Su Xueqing and Han Fang had lunch together, and Su Xueqing rubbed her hands.
"I told you long ago to let those people move, but you didn't move. Why did you move anyway?" Han Fang said.
"We are all classmates." Su Xueqing said, "We have to follow a certain order. If I follow along, we can sort it out faster."
"So, everyone admires you." Han Fang said, "You can obviously use connections, but you have to rely on talent."
After spending a long time with Su Xueqing, everyone knows that Su Xueqing is really capable. Some senior students even ask Su Xueqing questions, and Su Xueqing can answer them one by one. Su Xueqing has a rich reserve of professional knowledge, and her professional courses are basically full marks. It is not a boast that she is the first in her professional grade.
"Do more." Su Xueqing said, "If you don't do more, how can you get recognition from others?"
Su Xueqing did not act high and mighty, and did not feel that she did not need to be recognized by ordinary colleagues. Su Xueqing would work at the Architectural Design Institute in the future and become a formal employee. If she got along well with those people, it would also be good for her future career.
Many staff members in the hospital are men, and there are fewer women. It is more difficult for women to get promoted. Su Xueqing has to work hard and can't think that she is invincible just because she has the memory of her past life.
"Otherwise, how could the teacher value you so much?" Han Fang sighed.
Yu Li got married, and she would live in Xu Erge's house in the future, and no longer need to live in the school. Yu Li went to the counselor and told him that she would not live in the dormitory in the future, and there was no need to reserve a bed for her. Yu Li first went to the counselor of the Department of Architecture, and then went to the counselor after she changed her major, to tell them all to avoid any subsequent handover errors.
The counselor of the Department of Architecture did not say anything else. Yu Li's grades were not good and she failed several courses. When Yu Li applied to change her major, the counselor of the Department of Architecture also explained the situation to some people, saying that Yu Li was not suitable for this major and if possible, she should be allowed to transfer.
If you fail some majors, you will continue to fail later on, while for other majors, you can still persevere and pass.
Nancheng University is more humane and will try to reconcile some issues that can be reconciled.
The counselor did not think it was a pity for Yu Li to get married so early. Many girls went to college just to find a good partner. No matter how good the college they went to, they all wanted to get married.
"Okay, got it." said the counselor.
Yu Li left the office of the counselor of the Department of Architecture. She stood in the corridor and looked back. Yu Li thought that she would not come here again in the future. She was no longer a student of the Department of Architecture. The courses in the Department of Architecture were too difficult. She still preferred easier courses.
Xiang Yutong went to the office building for something, and when she was leaving, she happened to meet Yu Li.
"What are you doing..." Xiang Yutong was puzzled as to why Yu Li came here.
"I told the counselor that I didn't live in the school dormitory after the new semester started." Yu Li said, "I got married and lived with my husband. We lived very close to the alley where Su Xueqing used to live."
"It is indeed close." Xiang Yutong nodded. Su Xueqing often went home when she was a freshman. When Su Xueqing did not live in the dormitory, she would tell her. Xiang Yutong, Yu Li and others knew that Su Xueqing's parents lived close to the school. "After you change your major, you will have to study as a sophomore again. There are many courses."
"Yes, there will be a lot more classes." Yu Li said, "It's convenient to go here, and there are street lights. If it's too late, I'll ask my man to pick me up."
"In the past, when Xueqing went to class in the evening, someone would pick her up when she returned home," said Xiang Yutong.
Su Xueqing didn't live in the school dormitory, Ning Yanjing would come to the school to pick Su Xueqing up after class. In the evening, Ning Yanjing would come to the evening class. If Ning Yanjing didn't come, Aunt Li or the driver would come.
"She...I can't compare to her." Yu Li said.
"..." Xiang Yutong looked at Yu Li. Yu Li had calmed down a lot. It was no longer like before when she talked about Amelia Su, when her attitude was not very good.
"I'm leaving first. I have to go to the College of Humanities." Yu Li said, "I also have to tell the counselor there not to arrange a bed for me."
"Okay." Xiang Yutong said.
Xiang Yutong watched Yu Li leave. She thought it would be best if Yu Li could stay like this forever, not toss about things that are not necessary, and not to say bad things about Su Xueqing behind her back. Su Xueqing and Yu Li were classmates and neighbors, and there would be many opportunities for Su Xueqing and Yu Li to meet in the future.
"Is it done?" Tian Jiao walked to Xiang Yutong.
"It's done." Xiang Yutong said, "I just met Yu Li and talked to her for a while. She got married and no longer needs to live in the school dormitory. She came to tell the counselor."
"Got a marriage certificate?" Tian Jiao was surprised. "So soon?"
"She has been dating for a long time, maybe she wants to settle down sooner." Xiang Yutong said, "Her in-laws bought them a house with two bedrooms and a living room. They gave her a lot of betrothal money, so she naturally wants to get married sooner."
"She told you?" Tian Jiao said.
"She told several people." Xiang Yutong said.
Yu Li deliberately told others to let them know that she was not marrying blindly, but because the man was not bad, she married him. Yu Li felt a little uncomfortable, because Brother Xu did not go to high school, let alone college. Yu Li told others, and also told herself, so that she would not be dissatisfied, because Brother Xu was already very good.
In the evening, Su Xueqing finished her meal and sat on the sofa. She was about to take a banana when Ning Yanjing called her.
"Wait." Ning Yanjing lowered his head and saw a bruise on Su Xueqing's calf. "It's all purple."
Su Xueqing originally thought that there was something wrong with the banana on the table, but when she looked in the direction of Ning Yanjing's finger, she discovered that there was a bruise on her calf, the size of a fingernail.
"I didn't notice it. Maybe I accidentally held it when I was moving things today." Su Xueqing said. She stretched out her hand and pressed it. "It doesn't hurt much."
"It doesn't hurt much. Doesn't it hurt when it bumps against something?" Ning Yanjing said.
"I was doing something at the time and didn't pay attention." Su Xueqing said, "It's because my skin is easily..."
Ning Yanjing stood up and went to get the medicine box to apply medicine to Su Xueqing. If he hadn't seen it, it would have been fine, but Ning Yanjing had already seen it, and he couldn't pretend not to know. He felt distressed when he saw it.
"It's just a minor injury, not even a scratch." Su Xueqing saw Ning Yanjing bringing the medicine box, and she muttered, "My skin is like this, it will easily turn purple if it gets a little bump."
"Eat a banana." Ning Yanjing said as he applied medicine to Su Xueqing.
"I can do it myself." Su Xueqing said, "I haven't taken a shower yet, but I will wash it off when I take a shower later."
"Wash it off, and then continue to apply it." Ning Yanjing said seriously, "If you didn't come, I would knock on the door."
"No need to apply medicine, it will be fine soon..." Su Xueqing wanted to say 'it will be fine soon', but when she met Ning Yanjing's worried eyes, she changed her words, "I can apply it myself, it's not on the back, I can reach it myself."
"Are you moving things by yourself?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"I'm not the only one. Seniors are moving together and organizing materials together." Su Xueqing said quickly, "They didn't gang up on me. They are more diligent than me and have done more than me."
Su Xueqing was afraid that Ning Yanjing would think that others had joined forces to bully her, but that was not the case.
"Next time, don't move anything too heavy." Ning Yanjing said, "At worst, you can treat them to a meal later."
"It's not heavy." Su Xueqing said, "I won't move anything that's too heavy. I'll call for help. It's not like I don't have a mouth to call for help. I'm not a coolie, so I don't need to show off in this regard. I have my cousin uncle here."
Su Xueqing joked that with Vice President Xu and relatives around, Su Xueqing didn't need to try too hard to show herself off.
"I'm glad you know." Ning Yanjing said. He rubbed the injured area of Su Xueqing. Basically, any blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine needs to be rubbed.
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "I can do it myself."
"Does it hurt?" Ning Yanjing didn't let Su Xueqing do it herself.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt." Su Xueqing said quickly.
"I see you're in pain but you don't dare to say it." Ning Yanjing said.
"No." Su Xueqing said, "Maybe... maybe it hurt before, when I wasn't paying attention, and it doesn't hurt now. Okay, I will be more careful."
"Be careful." Ning Yanjing repeated. He applied medicine to Amelia Su and then put the medicine box aside. "It doesn't have to be you who does the work. Be careful."
"Pay attention, pay attention, be sure to pay attention." Su Xueqing said, "Take the medicine and you'll be fine soon."
"Then, will you do this again next time?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Su Xueqing stretched out her hand and took Ning Yanjing's hand, shaking it gently, "Okay, I will pay attention next time and have fewer bumps and bruises."
Su Xueqing gave Ning Yanjing another light kiss on the face, and Ning Yanjing looked into Su Xueqing's sparkling eyes.
"There's really nothing I can do with you." Ning Yanjing sighed.
After Su Xueqing watched TV and went to take a shower, Su Xueqing did not go downstairs to apply the medicine, and Ning Yanjing really went to knock on the door. Su Xueqing forgot about the medicine for a while, and she was still wearing light clothes.
"Wait." Su Xueqing quickly changed her clothes and threw the thin pajamas on the bed.
Su Xueqing opened the door and let Ning Yanjing in. Ning Yanjing did not ask Su Xueqing why she opened the door so late, but asked Su Xueqing to sit on the bed while he applied medicine to her.
When she turned around, Su Xueqing saw the pajamas on the bed. She walked over quickly and pushed the pajamas under the blanket.
"..." Ning Yanjing saw Su Xueqing's little action. He didn't name her. He half-knelt and carefully applied the medicine to Su Xueqing's calf, rubbing the medicine, and then let go. "Rest early, don't get tired."
"Yeah, you too, go to bed early." Su Xueqing said.
Ning Yanjing stood up and went out with the medicine box. Su Xueqing also stood up and went to close the door.
When Ning Yanjing walked out of the room and Su Xueqing was about to close the door, Ning Yanjing said, "It's hot, change into pajamas and sleep."
"..." Su Xueqing's eyes met Ning Yanjing's, and the next second, she closed the door. Su Xueqing leaned against the door and reached out to pat her cheek gently.
Ning Yanjing chuckled and put the medicine box back to its place.
Su Xueqing heard Ning Yanjing's footsteps gradually fade away, she quietly opened the door again, opened a gap, did not see Ning Yanjing, Su Xueqing closed the door again, she locked the door. Su Xueqing locked the door, not because she was afraid of Ning Yanjing coming, but because Su Xueqing often worked outside on the construction site in her previous life, she developed the habit of locking the door.
Lying down on the bed, Su Xueqing stretched out her hand to touch the purple area, but after thinking about it, she retracted her hand. The air was already filled with the smell of medicine, so she should not let her hands be stained with the smell of medicine.
After Yu Guochao and his wife wrote down the steps and seasonings needed to make buns, they went back home and did not go to Su Yamei and her husband for a semester. Yu Dasao specifically asked Aunt Su if the Su family had any skills in making dough and whether Aunt Su knew it.
"Isn't it just like that when kneading dough?" said Aunt Su.
Aunt Su was sitting in the yard picking vegetables. When she heard what her eldest daughter-in-law asked, she was a little confused.
"In the past, our family was poor and we rarely made food with flour." Aunt Su said, "We could only buy flour to make dumplings during festivals."
People in the south city mainly eat rice. Some people put corn crumbs and sweet potatoes when cooking rice in order to spend less money and be more filling.
"My eldest cousin said she learned from my aunt, and asked us to learn from you as well," said Mrs. Yu.
"Your aunt's cooking skills are great." Aunt Su said, "My cooking skills are not as good as hers."
Aunt Su is the youngest girl in the family. She has older brothers and sisters, and she also helps with housework, but in some things, Aunt Su can do less. Aunt Su Da uses the excuse that Old Lady Su is her stepmother and she is unwilling to do more work; Aunt Su Er is capable and she helps the family more.
"Making steamed buns is not easy." Aunt Su said, "If the dough is not mixed well, the steamed buns will not rise and will not taste good. I mix dough just like that. I don't have any secret recipes and I have nothing to teach you."
"Mom, go and learn from your aunt and see how she kneads the dough." said Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu always felt that others had secrets, and she had to ask Aunt Su to find out.
Su's mother mainly helps Su Sansao and Amelia Su take care of the children. She doesn't need to go to the store to help Amelia Su. Amelia Su and Wei Dashan can do it in the breakfast shop.
After lunch, Amelia Su came over with a few steamed buns and she handed five yuan to Su's mother.
"Pay back the money?" Su's mother asked.
"This is not a repayment, this is for you. You help take care of the two kids, I can't ask you to pay for everything." Amelia Su said, "The breakfast shop is on the right track, and the business is okay. I have to pay back the money, my son and daughter are here, I can't pay a penny."
Amelia Su knew that living for free would not last long. Her family was willing to lend money to Amelia Su to open the store and help take care of the children, which was very good. If Amelia Su had to take care of the children by herself, the children would wake up in the middle of the night, and Amelia Su herself would not be able to rest well.
It's not easy to run a breakfast shop. You have to get up at two or three in the morning. Now it's summer, the weather is hot, the dough ferments quickly, and you don't have to get up too early. When winter comes, I guess I have to knead the dough early.
"I don't believe that no one has gossiped in front of you, saying that I didn't pay a penny." Amelia Su said, "It's impossible for those people not to be jealous when they see me making money."
"You do your thing." Su's mother said, "Don't worry about what those people say. Since you said so, this money will be considered as child support."
Mother Su was not polite to Amelia Su. This was originally the fault of Amelia Su.
"Just take the money." Amelia Su said, "My husband and I have to open the store and get up early, so we still have to leave the children with you. One is for you to take care of, and two are for you to take care of. Mom, you have to tell your brother and sister-in-law that we paid the money, not that we didn't."
"Okay, I'll tell her." Su's mother said, "Look how proud you are."
“I’m not proud, we made money.” Amelia Su said, “If we don’t make money and don’t have money in our hands, we dare not speak loudly, and it would be wrong to say more.”
Mother Su looked at Amelia Su, who was much more outspoken. She thought it was not that Amelia Su was wrong, but that what Amelia Su said before was too harsh. Among relatives, Amelia Su could be tolerated a little more. If it were someone else, how many people would be willing to tolerate Amelia Su?
"We will definitely be able to return all the money from the store this year." Amelia Su said, "I didn't think of withholding the money. I know what people outside say. They said that I borrowed money from my family and didn't plan to pay it back. Some people also told my sister-in-law to be careful of me. I know everything."
Amelia Su didn't want others to think that she only took money from her family. Who doesn't have a little difficulty? Amelia Su didn't think there was anything wrong with her approach. If it were someone else, they would also think about getting money from their parents' home first.
"Don't worry about what those people say." Su's mother said.
"What they said was really unpleasant." Amelia Su said, "Anyway, it will be like this in the future. We will pay for the child to be placed here. We will pay for Shanshan's tuition."
Wei Shanshan's kindergarten tuition was paid by the Su family. Now Su's mother is retired and has no job, and her pension is not much. Two days ago, Wei Dashan discussed with Su Yamei that they still had to give money to Su's mother, and they couldn't give her a penny. If they didn't give a penny, others would say that the Su family would not be happy. After a long time, they would not be able to be relatives.
Wei Dashan dared to tell Amelia Su only because he saw that the breakfast shop could make some money. If the breakfast shop didn't make money, Wei Dashan didn't dare to say it, because he was afraid that Amelia Su would be unhappy.
Amelia Su gave money to Su's mother, and she had to let others know that she was not asking her parents to take care of the child for nothing, nor was she asking her parents to pay to raise the child.
When Aunt Su came over, she heard someone say that Amelia Su now knows how to give money to her parents and doesn’t let her parents pay to raise the children. When Aunt Su heard this, she thought Amelia Su must have made a lot of money.
When Su's mother saw Aunt Su coming, her eyelids twitched.
After Aunt Su came, she told Su's mother directly that she wanted to learn how to knead dough.
"Do you still need to learn this? Isn't it just kneading and adding yeast?" Su's mother said, "In our family, we put some sugar in the flour, nothing else."
Old Mrs. Su came out of the room and heard what Aunt Su said.
"Your sister-in-law is right." Old Mrs. Su said, "It's not like you haven't eaten steamed buns at home before. You've also made them. We all make them that way at home. There's no secret recipe."
"Mom." Aunt Su felt guilty.
"Your eldest son is going too far." Old Madam Su said, "He can learn, but he is still wondering if our family has a secret recipe. Yamei and her family have paid to learn from the pastry chef. If you want, you can also pay to learn."
"Mom, I just... just asked, I don't mean anything else." Aunt Su said, "Guochao and his family always fail to make good buns. The dough is not good."
"You guys think of a way and knead it more." Old Lady Su said, "Do you think others don't have to knead the dough? You just do whatever they ask you to do and take the lead. You don't know anything and you don't understand anything, but you take the lead. The first bird to stick its head out will be shot."
Old Lady Su was angry when she saw Little Aunt Su like this. Old Lady Su didn't mean to embarrass Little Aunt Su, she just felt that Little Aunt Su always listened to the Yu family. Those people in the Yu family were selfish, and they didn't show up one by one, always letting Little Aunt Su come over to speak.
"They all watched what Yamei and his wife did." Old Madam Su said, "Yamei and his wife were doing something tricky in front of them, how could they not see it?"
"I……"
"Don't think about whether it's a secret recipe or not, it's just made that way." Old Mrs. Su said, "Your sister-in-law and I cook, and the taste of our dishes is different. We're from the same family, so how could we not know whether the food is delicious and whether there is a secret recipe? A little more salt or a little less salt will make a difference."
"My...my...mom." Aunt Su was a little nervous, "No secret recipe, no secret recipe."
"If they have any more problems, let them solve them themselves." Old Madam Su said, "How many people cook the same dishes? The same dishes are different. You asked your eldest son to learn more, but how long have they studied? How long have Yamei and his wife studied? They only studied for a few days and they want to cook as deliciously as others. Do they think others are stupid and they are the smartest?"
Aunt Su left in shame. Her mother asked Aunt Su to eat at home, but she refused.
"Mom." Mother Su looked at Old Lady Su.
"I really don't know who she takes after with this temper." Old Madam Su said, "When I was young, I wasn't like her."
"She..." Mother Su didn't know what to say to Aunt Su, "Maybe she is too concerned. The eldest child in their family doesn't have a formal job yet, so he's not stable."
"That's their own fault," said Mrs. Su. "If they don't have a job, they have to go back to the city early. Even if they have to borrow money, they have to go back to the city. After they come back, they don't do the things they can do, but insist on doing the easy work. Don't others know how to do the easy work? Others have connections, and others have done it early, so how could it be their turn?"
Old Mrs. Su said several words over there. Yu Guochao was her grandson, so she still wanted to say something.
"We have several people working at the construction site in the development zone," said Mrs. Su. "The salary is stable and they can get paid on time. It's better than doing odd jobs that you may not be able to do for ten days a month. Making money can support the family, which is the most important thing. Look at them, how long have they been back? Half a year, and they are still the same dead."
"Mom, don't be angry." Su's mother said, "They can always find work. They are not at the end of their rope yet. They can still have a meal, so there is no need to worry."
"If they are not in a hurry, then they should not bother others like this." Old Lady Su said, "If they come over, I will have to talk to them. They don't work hard themselves, but just rely on others, and they still think about secret recipes. Our ancestors were not royal chefs, and no one is a chef in a big hotel, so we don't have so many secret recipes."
It is true that cooking habits may vary from household to household, but most of the time there are no secret recipes.
"It's so abominable." said Old Mrs. Su.
"Mom, please sit down and drink some water. Don't be anxious." Su's mother said, "Don't hurt yourself."
Su Xueqing didn’t know about the Su family’s affairs, she was working at the unit.
"Is she injured?" Han Fang smelled the smell of medicine on Su Xueqing's body.
"It's just a minor injury. My calf was bruised and purple. My boyfriend insisted on applying medicine to me." Su Xueqing sighed, "I got up in the morning, had breakfast and was about to go out. He stopped me, applied medicine to me, and then let me go out."
The medicine has been applied, and Su Xueqing can't just wash it off after coming to the unit. If the bruise doesn't heal quickly, Ning Yanjing will have to apply medicine for her.
"Your skin does bruise very easily." Han Fang said, "It's not a serious injury, so it's okay."
"Does the smell of medicine seem strong?" Su Xueqing was a little embarrassed. "Do you guys dislike the smell of medicine?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Han Fang said, "It's just a little smell of medicine. You're going to work with an injury."
"That's not the case." Su Xueqing said.
"Is this medicine effective?" someone asked.
"It's okay." Su Xueqing said.
"What's important is not whether the medicine works or not, what's important is that her partner applies the medicine to her." Han Fang said with a smile.
"Senior!" Su Xueqing glared at Han Fang.
"Look at your charming expression." Han Fang said, "If someone doesn't know, they would think you are flirting with me."
Su Xueqing didn't want to pay attention to Han Fang. These people just teased her. Su Xueqing had a faint smell of medicine on her body. When others saw her, they asked her how her injury was. She could only say that it was a minor injury.
Professor Guo also knew that Su Xueqing was injured, and said to Su Xueqing, "There is no rush for work, you can go back and recuperate."
"It's really okay, just a little bruise." Su Xueqing said, "Not even a scratch."
When Professor Guo saw the bruise below Su Xueqing's knee, he fell silent. It was indeed not a serious injury.
"This is indeed an injury." Professor Guo said, "You can take care of it at your workstation."
At noon, when Su Xueqing was having lunch with Han Fang, someone asked Su Xueqing how badly she was injured and whether she should take a rest. Su Xueqing really found a crack in the ground to crawl into. It was really just a minor injury, and she was too embarrassed to let others see her injury.
"It's okay. I'll put a plaster on it tomorrow." Han Fang comforted Su Xueqing, "They probably won't ask you this. Of course, they may not ask me either."
“…” Su Xueqing didn’t feel like she was being comforted.
In the evening, Ning Yanjing came to pick up Su Xueqing. Some people knew that Ning Yanjing was Su Xueqing's fiancé, and told Su Xueqing to take good care of her injuries.
Su Xueqing got in the car with Ning Yanjing. She walked over quickly, almost running.
"It's just a little bruise. When others smell the medicine, they think I'm seriously injured." Su Xueqing said.
"It's a good thing that they care about you." Ning Yanjing said, "If you are injured, you need to apply medicine. Are you not going to apply medicine just for the sake of fresh air in the office?"
"No, I can't say." Su Xueqing said, "I hope it gets better soon."
Su Xueqing didn't want to apply medicine all the time. She wanted to get better sooner so that she wouldn't have to keep applying the medicine.
In the evening, Ning Jiaxuan came running over. She heard from her cousin that Su Xueqing was injured, so she hurried over to take a look.
"Where are you injured? Where are you injured?" Ning Jiaxuan asked.
"How do you know?" Su Xueqing asked.
"My cousin said so." Ning Jiaxuan said.
“…” Su Xueqing was silent for a while, and Vice President Xu also knew… “It’s just a minor injury, you see, a little bit of bruises, if you come two days later, it will disappear.”
"This... is also an injury." Ning Jiaxuan paused for a moment, "It is an injury, it is indeed an injury."
"Your brother insisted that I apply medicine." Su Xueqing said.
"You have to apply medicine. If you don't, it will take many days to dissipate, and you won't be able to wear a skirt." Ning Jiaxuan said, "My brother is right, my brother is right."
Su Xueqing and Ning Jiaxuan looked at each other. Su Xueqing thought that Ning Jiaxuan was really good at talking.
"Since it's such an injury, I won't stay here anymore. I'm going back." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I'll go back and tell mom. She'll be worried. Brother, remember to apply medicine to Xueqing. Don't forget."
"Remember." Ning Yanjing said.
"Let's go back first." Ning Jiaxuan let go of Su Xueqing's hand. She had to go back first.
Seeing Ning Jiaxuan move so quickly, Su Xueqing thought that she did not force Ning Jiaxuan to stay.
Ning Jiaxuan left, and Su Xueqing turned to look at Ning Yanjing.
"Apply the medicine." Ning Yanjing said.
"Oh." Su Xueqing nodded.
At the Su family, Third Sister-in-law Su learned that Amelia Su had given money to Mother Su, and she thought she had heard it wrongly.
"Did the elder sister really give the money?" asked Mrs. Su.
"I really gave it to her." Su's mother said, "Her two children are with us, how can we not give her a penny. It's okay if she doesn't make any money, but if she does, she should at least give her something as a token of appreciation."
“I thought…” Third Sister Su thought that Amelia Su and her husband were shameless and didn’t intend to give money. If that was the case, Third Sister Su would have to say something after a while.
Raising a child costs money. Even if Amelia Su and her husband buy milk powder, sometimes Su's mother still has to pay for it herself. Su's mother has to take care of two children, so it is impossible to separate the milk powder so clearly, and there are other things to use.
"This is what she should give." Su's mother said, "Even if she doesn't give it, I will make her give it."
"Yes." Mrs. Su nodded.
Mrs. Su San and Mr. Su San stayed in the room alone. Mrs. Su San still didn't believe that Amelia Su would give the money. If Amelia Su didn't give it, it was impossible for Su's mother to say that she gave it.
"It seems that Big Sister's breakfast shop is indeed profitable." Third Sister Su said, "Big Sister knows that she has to give money to parents to raise the children."
"It's good that you can give it to me." Brother Su San said.
"I hope that Big Sister's breakfast shop can continue to make money." Mrs. Su said, "Don't let anything go wrong."
"No, my eldest sister and her husband both know how to do things well." Brother Su San said, "Others asked them to use inferior ingredients, but they didn't. They only used good ingredients. The breakfast shop is small and the rent is low. Before my eldest sister opened the shop, the shop had been empty for several months. When my eldest sister took over the shop, the owner was so happy."
Not everyone can make money by opening a shop. If they can’t make money and keep losing money, they have to stop. Others know that the shop is losing money. Some people are superstitious about Feng Shui and think that the shop is not good and don’t rent it. The shop is small and it is not easy to put tables. People who run restaurants like to put tables. All kinds of factors are combined, and the shop is vacant.
In the short term, the landlord is unlikely to increase the rent for Amelia Su and her husband.
"The breakfast made by my eldest sister and brother-in-law tastes pretty good." Brother Su San said, "Someone even asked me to bring them some steamed buns."
"They are probably doing this for dad's sake," said Mrs. Su.
"The food is indeed delicious. If it wasn't, they wouldn't keep asking us to bring it." Brother Su San said, "Their money didn't come from the wind, and Dad isn't a leader. They don't have to please our family."
"That's right." Mrs. Su said, "Mom will go buy some buns in the morning."
Su's mother gave money, it was not for free, unless Amelia Su gave it herself, then she didn't have to pay.
In the past, the Su family also bought steamed buns in the morning, but now that Amelia Su and her husband have done it, the Su family naturally doesn’t go to other people’s homes to buy them, they go directly to Amelia Su and her husband’s breakfast shop to buy them.
When Amelia Su and her husband closed the store at noon, if there were two or three steamed buns left, they would give them to Old Lady Su, Father Su, and Mother Su to eat. It would be inappropriate for Third Brother Su and his wife to eat them for free.
The Su family members all know their limits. They can't just say that the Su family lent money to Su Yamei to run the store and they can take it for free.
"As long as it tastes good," said Brother Su San.
"Buy a few more and get one free," said Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su San hopes that Amelia Su and her husband can always maintain this state, which is good for everyone and saves Su's father and mother from worrying about Amelia Su's future.
"Eldest sister really loves her son." Mrs. Su said, "After having a son, she has changed a lot. She is no longer the same as before."
"Well..." said Brother Su San.
"If their son wasn't here, they probably wouldn't care much about Shanshan." said Mrs. Su.
When Amelia Su and her husband came to the Su family, sometimes they just picked up their son and didn't even look at Shanshan. But it was better than before Amelia Su opened the store. After Amelia Su gave birth to a child, there was a period of time when Amelia Su didn't care much about Wei Shanshan and didn't ask if Wei Shanshan was doing well.
In the morning, Xu's mother saw Su's mother buying steamed buns and giving money. Xu's mother walked beside Su's mother and asked, "You still gave money?"
