Chapter 69 Buying a TV cannot embarrass my daughter
"Let's go, do you hear me?" Mrs. Yu urged.
Yu Guochao stood up and left with Yu Dasao, without even looking back at Aunt Su. Aunt Su was even more heartbroken to see them walk away like this.
Zhu Baoqian came out of the room only after Mrs. Yu and her husband left, holding an apple with a few bites taken from it.
"Mom, did you hear that?" Zhu Baoqian said, "They never planned to be filial to you and Dad from the beginning. They borrowed so much money, but they didn't work hard and didn't think about paying it back. Those relatives even came to you and asked you to help pay some of the money back. And they didn't know your difficulties at all, and they still asked you for money."
"..." Aunt Su sat on the chair, looking a little dazed.
"Mom, mom." Zhu Baoqian stretched out her hand and waved in front of Aunt Su.
"Hey." Aunt Su responded.
"Mom, if you ask me, don't worry about them. Jiachao and I will definitely take care of you and dad in the future." Zhu Baoqian said, "If children don't take care of their parents in their old age, are they still human? They are threatening you like this now, and who knows how they will threaten you in the future. You can't give them money secretly. If you give them money, they won't thank you, but will think you give too little. Uncle and aunt have helped them a lot, and look at how they treat uncle and aunt. They don't even want to visit them during the New Year."
Zhu Baoqian deliberately said this in front of Aunt Su. Aunt Su did care more about her son and Uncle Su, but it was impossible for Aunt Su not to care about her natal family at all.
"Jiachao always wants to pay back the money he borrowed." Zhu Baoqian said, "At the end of last year, Jiachao went over to pay back a sum of money. My uncle and aunt are old, and it's not easy for them. My aunt has to take care of the children, grandchildren, and granddaughters at home. My grandma is so old, but she still has to help, and Shanshan even sleeps with her. My eldest brother and sister-in-law think that others can easily have a lot of money. If that's the case, why don't they easily have so much money?"
Zhu Baoqian just had to say these words, she couldn’t just say nothing.
"If this continues, sooner or later, my uncle and aunt will ask us not to go there." Zhu Baoqian said, "My cousin Xueqing married a rich man, but the money of my cousin Xueqing's in-laws is not my uncle and aunt's money. My eldest cousin runs a breakfast shop and has to get up early to open the shop. I see that my eldest cousin has lost a lot of weight and is not as plump as when I first met her. You are not the only one who feels sorry for the child, my uncle and aunt also feel sorry for her."
Zhu Baoqian and Yu Jiachao have the same attitude. They cannot let the Su family hate them or cut off ties with them.
Aunt Su and Father Su were not born of the same mother. After Old Master Su passed away, Father Su and Aunt Su no longer had any contact, which was normal. As for Aunt Su's bad attitude towards Old Lady Su, Father Su was a son, and he had a little filial piety, so he would never let Aunt Su come home again.
"I'll sit for a while." Aunt Su said weakly.
"Mom, I just don't want you to become like my aunt." Zhu Baoqian said, "My aunt's family is richer than ours, and she has a very high status in the family. You...you are not yet at my aunt's level. There is no way you can be like her."
"I'll sit alone for a while." Aunt Su said.
"Please sit down. Please sit down." Zhu Baoqian said.
On the day of Amelia Su's son's first birthday party, Yu's wife and her husband came. The two of them didn't dare not give a red envelope, so they had to give a smaller amount.
Amelia Su did not open the red envelope on the spot. The name of the person who gave the red envelope was written on the red envelope. Yu Dasao and her husband took their children to the banquet. They did not think of borrowing money from others to give a red envelope of a suitable amount. They thought that they had no money and gave less.
At the first birthday party, Amelia Su did not mention whether Amelia Su’s birthday was coming, but just talked about the child. Amelia Su was not unhappy, because it was originally the first birthday party of Amelia Su’s son.
Those people didn’t know what Amelia Su said in private, and Amelia Su couldn’t bring it up.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing sat down to eat the banquet. The two were very quiet and didn't say much to others. Mainly, there was nothing to say.
“They are all freshly made. I went to the kitchen to check it out.” Amelia Su said deliberately, “They are not worse than those big restaurants at all.”
“…” When Amelia Su heard what Su Yamei said, she couldn’t help but think of the restaurant that Ning Yanjing opened in partnership with others.
Forget it, maybe Amelia Su just said it casually.
It would be strange if she just said it casually, Amelia Su was too lazy to say it. After all, Amelia Su did not point out which restaurant it was, so it was impossible for Amelia Su and Ning Yanjing to go and sit down.
Su Xueqing was not picky about the food. She would eat if she liked it and not eat if she didn’t like it.
"Eat more." Amelia Su and her husband toasted, and they also said to Amelia Su and her husband, "Eat more, don't just eat so little."
"Yeah." Su Xueqing responded, "I'm eating."
Amelia Su was very happy. Su Yanan looked at Amelia Su, then at Amelia Su, thinking that Amelia Su was not afraid of Amelia Su being unhappy. Although she had to say some polite words, it was better not to say the sentence "It's not worse than those big hotels".
When Amelia Su opened the red envelope in the room at night, she saw the five-cent red envelope from Yu Dasao, and her face looked very bad. The red envelopes on their side, not to mention one or two yuan, would also have a few cents.
"They are so angry that they almost laugh." Su Yamei took the five cents, "They want to learn how to make breakfast here, and they don't want to spend money to find a pastry chef to learn, so we let them learn here. And they, just like this, just like this..."
Wei Dashan looked at the five cents and said, "Maybe... because I don't have any money."
"They don't work hard and just stay at home. It's impossible for money to come into their hands." Amelia Su said, "If you don't work and still expect to have money, you can just dream on."
Amelia Su was still very dissatisfied. No matter whether Mrs. Yu and her husband had money or not, they shouldn’t have only given such a small amount of money.
"They would borrow money to send money back to their cousins' families, but they wouldn't borrow money to give us red envelopes." Amelia Su said, "We took them to make breakfast, but they didn't know how to be grateful. They didn't know how to give bigger red envelopes. Not to mention bigger red envelopes, they had to give the same as what Jiachao gave us."
The more Amelia Su thought about it, the angrier she got. Mrs. Yu and her husband were really too stingy. "They packed so little, and the whole family came to eat. Are they trying to bankrupt me?"
Mrs. Yu and her husband didn't care whether Amelia Su and her husband were happy or not. They thought that they had already given the red envelope. Later, Amelia Su and her husband could give them a smaller red envelope instead of a larger one. If that time came, Mrs. Yu and her husband would definitely say that Amelia Su and her husband were too stingy. Why did they give such a small red envelope?
Amelia Su couldn't stand the fact that Mrs. Yu and her husband gave such a small red envelope. She told her mother, Mrs. Su, and Su Yanan. In the evening of the next day, Amelia Su found out that Mrs. Yu and her husband gave a five-cent red envelope.
It’s the Lantern Festival, everyone was having fun together, Su Yanan pulled Su Xueqing aside and said this.
"My elder sister will remember this for the rest of her life." Su Yanan said in a low voice.
Amelia Su is a very stingy person. She looks generous on the surface, but she is not like that at all. Amelia Su wants to save face, but it does not prevent Amelia Su from being petty.
"They really are. They think a dime or two is better than five cents." Su Yanan said, "So, people really can't be without money, and they can't be shameless when they don't have money."
Yu Dasao and his wife are really shameless. If the red envelopes are small, then the four of them should not come to the banquet. Even if others say that your whole family is coming, you should be more careful and come with fewer people. If the whole family comes, they should eat and take away all the leftovers on the table. How can others say good things about them?
Aunt Su's family didn't come. They were out of town, there were things going on at home, and it was only the child's first birthday, so they didn't come. The red envelope arrived. Amelia Su didn't say anything about Aunt Su's family. Besides, Aunt Su was an elder, so Amelia Su wasn't suitable to say anything wrong about Aunt Su's family.
"By the way, it's your birthday tomorrow. How are you going to celebrate it?" Su Yanan asked.
"Eat something good at home." Su Xueqing said, "Where I live now, I haven't come to my parents' house."
Su Xueqing didn't think about having a big birthday party, as long as Ning Yanjing was there with her.
"Do you want to eat dumplings or flat meat?" Su Yanan asked.
"Eat whatever you want." Su Xueqing said, "You'll know tomorrow. They're all delicious, no matter what you eat."
"That's right." Su Yanan nodded, "With meat, everything tastes delicious."
Some children were setting off firecrackers in the yard and a bundle of straw caught fire. Su's mother quickly scooped up water to put out the fire.
"Go away, go play somewhere else. This is straw and it will catch fire." Su's mother did not scold the children too much. Why should she scold other people's children?
These straws are used by Su's mother to make fermented tofu. She plans to make some tofu, cut it into small pieces, and then put them on the straw. After a few days, the small pieces of tofu will grow hair, and then they will be rolled in red wine yeast, salt and other fried ingredients, and chili powder will be added. Then, these things will be put in a small jar and some wine will be added.
Su's mother had specially gone out of her way to find the straw, but now most of it had been burned, and she couldn't use it anymore.
"It's burned like this, it's hard to use it as a chicken coop." Su's mother looked at the wet straw with disdain.
"I'll get some more another day." Su Xueqing walked over.
The children had already scattered and dared not set off firecrackers in front of the Su's house anymore. The straw caught fire, and an adult came out to say that the children were a little scared.
"Their parents don't know how to supervise their children. Luckily, this happened at our doorstep and someone in our house saw it immediately." Su's mother said worriedly, "If we hadn't seen it, and the fire had spread quickly and burned down the house, what would we do?"
"They don't dare anymore." Su Xueqing said.
"Don't dare? They dare!" Su's mother said, "Throw them into the stinking ditch, throw them into the sewer, they are so brave!"
"Mom, come in first." Su Xueqing said.
"Come with me to the room." said Su's mother.
"Okay." Su Xueqing nodded.
After arriving in the room, Su's mother took out a pair of gloves, which she knitted herself. Su's mother knew that her little daughter didn't need those things now, and she didn't know what to give her, so she knitted the gloves a few days ago. The weather is still a bit cold recently, so she can still wear them.
"Mom, did you knit this?" Su Xueqing held the gloves tenderly.
"Yes, I knitted them, but they are not as pretty as the ones I bought outside." Su's mother specially crocheted flowers on the gloves so that a few fingers can be exposed, and there is also a large finger cover. Su's mother specially added a layer of cotton inside, so that it is more windproof and warmer. Su's mother knew that if Su Xueqing worked, she would have to write and draw drawings. If her fingers were all in the gloves, it would be inconvenient, and it would be much more convenient to expose the fingers.
"Very good, these gloves are knitted by my mother, so warm." Su Xueqing held the gloves in her arms.
"Tomorrow is your birthday." said Su's mother.
"Your son-in-law will celebrate my birthday." Su Xueqing said, "There are a lot of delicious food at home every day, it's almost like celebrating my birthday."
"Birthdays are always different." Su's mother said, "Look at your eldest sister, her child's first birthday party..."
"It's different when the child is one year old. Many people hold a one-year-old party for their children." Su Xueqing said.
"You are just generous and don't bother with your elder sister about those things." Su's mother said.
"My elder sister is too concerned about her reputation." Su Xueqing said.
So far, Amelia Su didn’t know how much money Amelia Su’s breakfast shop made, but she knew how generous Amelia Su showed. It didn’t matter whether Amelia Su really made a lot of money or Amelia Su had to make others think she was rich.
Amelia Su didn’t go to Amelia Su to borrow money, and it wasn’t wrong for her to make money and live a better life.
"You are the youngest, but you are the most considerate." Mother Su patted Su Xueqing's hand.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing returned.
On the way back, Su Xueqing handed the gloves to Ning Yanjing and said, "My mother knitted them for me."
"Mom's cooking skills are pretty good." Ning Yanjing said.
"Well, I can't knit gloves." Su Xueqing said, "Mom can. I can't even knit a scarf well."
"The scarf you knitted is good." Ning Yanjing couldn't say it was bad. If Su Xueqing hadn't stopped him from wearing the scarf she knitted all the time, he would have worn it often. "Very good, very warm."
"It doesn't look good." Su Xueqing said, "You know what? I often have to check when I'm knitting, for fear of missing a stitch. If I miss a stitch, everything will fall apart when I put it down."
"Thank you for your hard work." Ning Yanjing said.
"It's not hard, but it's a bit tiring for my eyes and hands." Su Xueqing said, "It looks simple, but it's a bit difficult for someone like me who is not good at it."
"I won't knit anymore in the future." Ning Yanjing said. Anyway, he already had a scarf knitted by Su Xueqing. "Let's go to the mall to buy it. If you like it, I'll knit it for you."
"Let's all go buy it." Su Xueqing thought about it and decided not to let Ning Yanjing weave. She didn't dare to think about that scene.
At the Su family, Amelia Su looked at Mother Su.
"Why are you looking at me?" Su's mother asked.
"Mom, what are you giving my little sister?" Amelia Su asked, "What birthday gift?"
"It's just a pair of gloves, what else could it be?" Su's mother said, "Do you think I have so much money to buy something for your little sister? Even if I really buy it, it's what your little sister deserves."
Su Xueqing gave Su's mother and old lady Su gold jewelry. Su's mother thought it was not excessive to give Su Xueqing something more expensive. Besides, a pair of gloves was really worthless, even if they were knitted by hand. Su's mother retired and took care of the children at home. She could find time to knit gloves without spending a long time.
Since there are two children at home and Wei Shanshan who is studying, Su Sansao went out to work, and Su's mother and old lady Su no longer did odd jobs. Su's mother wanted to do some, but Su Sansao told her not to do it. The two children were so young, and Su's mother had to spend a lot of energy to take care of them. Making dolls and the like also required watching the needle and thread, which was inconvenient.
Since someone in the family was making money, Su's mother and old lady Su didn't have to do anything else. Su San's wife and her husband gave Su's mother and old lady Su some money every month so that they could buy things. Su's mother and old lady Su didn't need to ask, Su San's wife and her husband had already divided the money every month, basically giving money after the salary was paid.
"You have to keep an eye on me even if I send you a pair of gloves?" Mother Su looked at Amelia Su sideways, "Are you afraid that I won't treat you equally? I shouldn't treat you equally. If I do, it would be unfair to your little sister. Can you do the same as your little sister?"
“Mom!” Amelia Su didn’t like to hear this, “My little sister has a rich boyfriend, she…”
"It's the same no matter who she is with." Su's mother said, "Your younger sister is more filial than you, so you should stop interfering in these matters."
"No matter, no matter." Su Yamei was thinking in her heart, did Su's mother really not give Su Xueqing anything else? These people in the Su family were very good to Su Xueqing. They would serve Su Xueqing when they made fried fish at home, but she and Su Yanan didn't have any.
Amelia Su looked at Su Yanan, but Su Yanan didn’t look at Amelia Su.
Su Yanan thought that she was not as good as her younger sister, and that she did not get some things, which was what she deserved. If she and her younger sister also sent so many things back to her parents' home, and her parents still treated her badly, that would be her parents' problem, but she did not.
Su Yanan didn’t want to be dragged into the sisterly dispute by Amelia Su. There was no dispute between her and Amelia Su, not at all.
"It's getting late, let's go back first." Amelia Su said, "Yanan, when will you go back?"
"I'll go back later." Su Yanan said.
"Eat something and go back." Old Madam Su said, and she brought some cakes. "These cakes were sent by your little sister."
“…” Amelia Su looked at the exquisite pastries on the table, and it was Amelia Su again.
Mrs. Su did it on purpose, Amelia Su had better shut up and say a few words.
"No more eating. I ate too much at night and it's hard to digest." Amelia Su said, "We have to open the store tomorrow morning, so let's go back early."
Amelia Su didn't want to eat the cakes. It wasn't like she didn't have anything to eat. She wasn't so hungry that she couldn't stand it. She didn't have to eat the cakes. Amelia Su didn't want to look at the cakes. Go quickly, go quickly. Amelia Su pushed Wei Dashan away.
Su Yanan and his wife ate some cakes and then took their children back. When Su Yanan returned, Su's mother packed some cakes for Su Yanan to take back. Su Yanan's children loved those cakes. Su San's wife's children were still young, so Su San's wife didn't mind Su's mother doing that.
"The pastries my little sister gave me taste really good." Su Yanan was still sighing as she walked on the road, and then looked at the three children who were eating contentedly.
"Mom, my aunt sent a lot of things." Tian Caixia is the youngest daughter of Su Yanan and his wife. She likes to eat those cakes more than her two brothers. She is young and dares to take those things directly. Su Yanan's two sons take less. The two sons eat too much, and Su Yanan will look at the two sons more.
Although the child is at his grandparents' house, he should still know his limits and not eat everything in the house at once.
"Your aunt is filial." Su Yanan said, "Mom doesn't ask you to be as filial as your aunt in the future, just don't... you just need to do about the same."
In the end, Su Yanan did not say "Don't be like that with your aunt". Children are not good at keeping their mouths shut, and if her elder sister knew about it, she would be angry again.
On Su Xueqing's birthday, Ning Jiaxuan came over in the morning.
"I'll celebrate your birthday at noon, and my brother will celebrate your birthday in the evening, that's just right." Ning Jiaxuan said.
Ning Yanjing didn't go to work today. He planned to go to the movies with Su Xueqing in the afternoon and come back for dinner in the evening. He arranged for the chef to prepare delicious food. Ning Yanjing was still thinking that he and Su Xueqing would have a happy day today, but he didn't expect Ning Jiaxuan to come over at this time.
"Brother said a few days ago that your birthday is coming, and we can't forget it even if we want to." Ning Jiaxuan said, "In addition to the gifts I brought, my mother also asked me to bring you a gift."
"Thank you." Su Xueqing said.
"What are you thanking me for? You are my friend and my sister-in-law." Ning Jiaxuan said, "My mother and I picked this gift for you together."
"It looks very beautiful." Su Xueqing saw the brooch and the bracelet, which were really given separately.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you next time." Ning Jiaxuan said, "My brother gives me pocket money, I'll buy it for you."
"At this time, you are talking about me." Ning Yanjing said.
"Isn't it bad to ignore you?" Ning Jiaxuan laughed, "Brother, you are sitting next to me, you are so big, I, as your younger sister, have to mention you, so that you don't deduct my pocket money."
"How many times has my pocket money been deducted from you?" Ning Yanjing discovered that Ning Jiaxuan always liked to talk about his deduction of pocket money in front of Su Xueqing.
"It's still a deduction if it's deducted once." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"In the future, ask your brother to give you more pocket money." Su Xueqing said.
"I don't expect my brother to give me more pocket money. He still has to earn money for milk powder in the future." Ning Jiaxuan said, "As an aunt, I can't compete with my little nephew."
"It's still early." Su Xueqing said. It was really early. She and Ning Yanjing had not held their wedding banquet yet, and the two of them had not slept in the same room yet.
After Ning Jiaxuan had lunch with Su Xueqing and her husband, she went back first. Ning Jiaxuan didn't want to be a light bulb here, even if her brother didn't deduct her pocket money, she wouldn't stay here. Ning Jiaxuan believed that Su Xueqing didn't mind her staying here, but her brother minded, and she minded too. As a friend and a sister, she should not disturb others.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing originally wanted to watch a cheerful movie, but when they arrived at the cinema, there were no cheerful comedies, war films, and only misery films, which all had some sad colors.
"Or, let's watch a war movie." Su Xueqing didn't want to watch the kind of movies about how miserable the lower-class people are, how miserable they are, how their lives change, layer by layer, and how it ends up being a tragic ending in the end.
Su Xueqing couldn't stand the pain. She knew that such films were very literary and artistic, and were very close to certain situations. But Su Xueqing didn't like to watch them. If she could fast forward and watch whatever she wanted like on video websites, she would watch it. She could bear to watch a clip occasionally, not all at once. If she watched all at once, Su Xueqing would feel that she was too miserable, and the movie was too good and too touching.
She is really not suited to be an artist!
Su Xueqing couldn't help but think so. She also understood why few people watched those so-called art films. One reason was the limitations of the times, and the other was that many people didn't want to experience that kind of pain.
"Okay." Ning Yanjing had no objection.
In recent years, there have been many war films, bandit films, and films about the growth and changes of minor characters.
Su Xueqing watched the film. Films at this time were more daring to shoot, with fewer constraints. In Su Xueqing's previous life, some movie clips were edited in a mess, and they said that they had to be cut out to pass the review.
After watching the movie, the two went shopping in a nearby shopping mall.
During this walk, the two saw Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen. Su Xueqing was the first to notice the two. She grabbed Ning Yanjing who was about to walk forward and asked him to hide behind a pillar while they stood further away and watched.
"Look over there." Su Xueqing reminded Ning Yanjing.
Ning Yanjing looked in the direction Su Xueqing pointed, and sure enough, he saw Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen.
Although the Ning family basically knew that Ning Jiaxuan and Yan Yichen could not possibly get married, if Yan Yichen got too close to another woman, that would be a slap in the face for the Ning family.
"Let's go. No, you stay here and I'll go over there." Su Xueqing said, "Do it step by step. This time, I'll go out, and next time, you'll go out."
You have to actually encounter it a few times before you can talk about other things.
Whether Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen were discussing business or really in love, since Yan Yichen was engaged, they had to be careful about what they did, especially in public.
Ning Yanjing is Ning Jiaxuan's biological brother. If Ning Yanjing goes out directly, it will be difficult to clean up. It will be better if Su Xueqing goes out.
"Hide well. Otherwise, you can leave from the other side and we will meet at the other end." Su Xueqing said.
"I'll wait for you to leave first." Ning Yanjing couldn't let Su Xueqing face those people alone, so he had to stand here.
"Then I'll go out first." Su Xueqing said in a low voice.
Su Xueqing walked to Xu Ruyun's booth. Ning Jiaxuan showed Su Xueqing a photo of Yan Yichen. Su Xueqing and Yan Yichen had never met formally. This was not important. What was important was that Su Xueqing saw Yan Yichen standing with Xu Ruyun.
"Is this your boyfriend?" Su Xueqing walked over and looked at some things on the stall.
We are all neighbors, so it’s not too much to ask.
"He and I opened the factory together." Xu Ruyun said, "The factory was about to be unveiled and the workers were about to start work, so he came to tell me."
Xu Ruyun did not say that Yan Yichen was not her boyfriend, but gave another explanation.
Yan Yichen was too disdainful to explain to others. He didn't pay attention to who Ning Yanjing's fiancée was or whether Ning Yanjing had obtained a marriage certificate. Yan Yichen didn't even look at Su Xueqing, but said to Xu Ruyun, "You have a job opening here, you can hire, but only for the grassroots level. I'm leaving now."
Su Xueqing hadn't left yet, but Yan Yichen left first.
"He also asked you to recruit workers." Su Xueqing said. Neither of them explained that they were not boyfriend and girlfriend.
In the original book, these two people grew closer and closer, and eventually they became boyfriend and girlfriend, and they got married.
"It's a factory opened jointly." Xu Ruyun said.
"He is really nice to you." Su Xueqing said.
"Maybe they think I'm talented." Xu Ruyun replied, "Take a look, what do you like?"
"This hairband." Su Xueqing said. She bought a hairband and a few flowers to tie on her hair. "Give it to Shanshan. Shanshan looks good in these."
"Shanshan's hair has grown longer." Xu Ruyun said, "I still remember that her mother shaved her head bald. At that time, many children called her the little bald nun and didn't like to play with her. But now? Those children are willing to play with her."
"They should play together." Su Xueqing said, "When I went over, I didn't ask too much because her parents were there. I brought her a little gift. Little girls like pretty things."
How could Amelia Su care whether Wei Shanshan needed to dress up or not, she only knew her son.
"Buy a few different ones." Su Xueqing said, "This butterfly clip is good, put it together for me too."
"You are a good aunt." Xu Ruyun said.
"I want two of each of these." Su Xueqing said, "My second sister has a daughter. I almost forgot that I only have one niece."
"Okay." Xu Ruyun liked Su Xueqing's tendency to buy more at once, "I'll give you the change."
Su Xueqing took out her wallet and handed the money to Xu Ruyun.
After paying the bill, Su Xueqing left Xu Ruyun's shop. She did not go behind the pillar to find Ning Yanjing, but went to the other end as agreed. Ning Yanjing saw Su Xueqing leaving Xu Ruyun's shop, and then he left.
From the current point of view, there is not much ambiguity between Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun, but it can be seen that Yan Yichen still cares about Xu Ruyun and allows Xu Ruyun to recruit workers. There is also such content in the original book. Yan Yichen said this considering that it is not easy for Xu Ruyun to be alone and that Xu Ruyun needs to help her family.
According to the contract, Yan Yichen does not need to ask Xu Ruyun to recruit workers, and he is in charge of all factory affairs.
After arriving at the place, Su Xueqing met up with Ning Yanjing. Neither Yan Yichen nor Xu Ruyun stared at Su Xueqing. Xu Ruyun thought Su Xueqing came alone, and Yan Yichen ignored Su Xueqing, an unimportant person.
Yan Yichen glanced at Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing's beauty made his eyes stay for a while, and he quickly looked away. What Yan Yichen needed was not a beautiful woman, but someone who could help him.
Su Xueqing looked back, she didn't see Yan Yichen, Yan Yichen just walked directly from the other side.
"Did you see anything?" Ning Yanjing asked.
"It's nothing now, let's wait for the future." Su Xueqing said, "Jiaxuan said that Yan Yichen's mother deliberately mentioned Yan Yichen's partner in front of Jiaxuan, a female partner."
It would be a lie to say that Yan's mother had no other intentions. In the original novel, Yan's mother was the one who brought Yan Yichen and Xu Ruyun together at the beginning. But when Xu Ruyun and Yan Yichen really got together, Yan's mother became dissatisfied.
"Let's go back." Su Xueqing said, "I'll give these things to my two little nieces tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go tomorrow." Ning Yanjing said.
When Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing returned home, the chef had already prepared a table full of dishes and a big cake.
Su Xueqing looked at the huge cake and she was a little suspicious whether Ning Yanjing wanted her to take the cake back. It was the same last year. How could two people finish such a big cake?
"We'll go to my parents' place later." Ning Yanjing said, "Let them eat the cake together, and we can also go over there to cut the cake."
Ning Yanjing thought that Su Xueqing must also want to celebrate her birthday with her biological parents. Even though those people in the Su family rarely celebrate their birthdays on weekdays, Ning Yanjing wanted to make Su Xueqing happy.
"Let's eat it first and cut some off." Su Xueqing said. She still didn't plan to take the whole thing over.
There are special knives for cutting cakes, and they don’t bite them directly with their mouths. Those cakes are different from leftovers.
Ning Yanjing lit the candles on the cake and asked Su Xueqing to make a wish. Su Xueqing closed her eyes and made a wish, then opened one eye and then closed it again. It was a simple wish: a successful career and a happy family.
The chef cooked steak and some other dishes, but no vegetable salad. Su Xueqing didn't like to eat raw food, so she had to eat well-done steak, and the chef cooked everything according to her instructions.
Ning Yanjing poured juice for Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing didn't dare to drink alcohol for fear of getting drunk. She had only consumed cooking wine since she was a child.
"It's delicious." Su Xueqing said.
"Try this." Ning Yanjing picked up another piece of pineapple cake for Su Xueqing.
"They are all delicious." Su Xueqing said, "You eat too, don't just watch me eat."
After dinner, Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing prepared to go to Su's house. Before leaving, they brought the headdress they bought in the afternoon. It was for Shanshan and Su Yanan's daughter. Su Yanan went to Su's house more often, so Su Xueqing wanted to ask Su's mother to pass it to Su Yanan. She had started school and had a lot of things to do, so she didn't go to Su Yanan's place.
When the Su family saw Su Xueqing bringing the cake over, they accepted it. Su Xueqing sat for a while and prepared to leave. She looked at everyone sitting in the living room. These people were sitting in the living room taking care of their children, or going out to play.
"Where is Shanshan?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Grandma took her to the neighbor's house to watch TV." said Su's mother.
Old Mrs. Su and Wei Shanshan brought stools over. The things on TV were new and interesting, so when Wei Shanshan went over to watch, her eyes were fixed on the TV.
"It's so cold." Su Xueqing said. She knew that the neighbors had put the TV in the yard for everyone to watch.
In the past, Su Xueqing also ran over to watch. Su Xueqing thought that there was no fun for everyone, and without TV, children couldn't watch cartoons. It was normal for Wei Shanshan and Old Lady Su to like watching TV. If it were her, she wouldn't want to stay at home all the time.
"We can buy a TV at home." Su Xueqing said, "Grandma is old, don't let her get cold."
"In a few days, let your third brother buy one. The money is ready." Su's mother said.
The Su family had already thought about buying a TV. They couldn't wait until Su Xueqing didn't want the old TV and then have someone bring it over. That would be too outrageous and how would the Ning family view the Su family?
The Su family decided to buy a TV as soon as possible to avoid Amelia Su saying that Su Xueqing didn’t live in the current house, and what to do with the TV and the refrigerator.
"Buy it." Su Xueqing said, "I'll pay for part of it."
"You don't have to pay." Su's mother said, "It's not your turn to pay. We work hard, so how can we not save enough money to buy a TV? Your father has made a lot of money these days, enough to buy a TV. You don't have to worry about it. Don't you want to go home? Go back. It's cold. Don't step into the puddles. Be careful not to slip."
"I'm not a three-year-old child. It's impossible for me to step into a puddle." Su Xueqing said.
"When you were a child..."
"Let's go, let's go back." Su Xueqing said quickly, and let's not talk about the embarrassing things that happened in childhood.
After leaving the Su family, Ning Yanjing asked softly, "Have you ever stepped on a puddle?"
"I stepped on it, and I pushed the tree. Water drops from the tree dripped down like rain." Su Xueqing said, "When I was a kid, there was nothing fun to do. Isn't it just playing these?"
"Play." Ning Yanjing said, "Having fun is the most important thing."
On a new afternoon, Su's mother went to Su Yanan's place with the hairbands and other things bought by Su Xueqing. Su Yamei took Wei Yaozu back, and Su's mother came out. Su's mother did not dare to let Mrs. Su take care of the two children alone for too long. Wei Shanshan was not too young, so she was not included.
"This was bought by your younger sister. Give one to Shanshan and one to Caixia." said Su's mother.
"You are so polite, little sister." Su Yanan said, "Caixia is fine, her grandmother bought her some. You have to buy more for Shanshan. I often see Shanshan's hair is simply tied up. I don't even know to buy some decorations for the child. I can't always expect grandma or you to buy them for her."
Mrs. Su had her own children and had to work, so she was lucky to allow Wei Shanshan to stay at home. She did not buy any headwear for Wei Shanshan. Mrs. Su rarely bought those headwear for herself, let alone for Wei Shanshan.
"Did you buy it from the Xu family?" Su Yanan asked.
"Yes, Xueqing went to the mall and saw Miss Xu setting up a stall, so she bought some." Mother Su said, "She bought two."
"Doesn't she need it herself?" Su Yanan asked.
"You asked such a stupid question. If she needs it, she should keep it for herself." Mother Su said, "If it's for the child, you should give it to Caixia. We need to buy a TV at home, and Xueqing offered some money. I didn't let her pay. I can't always let her pay. Her father and brother both have jobs."
"Buy it early, so that others won't think you're waiting for my younger sister's old TV." Su Yanan said, "Let's not talk about others, but what my elder sister says...it's really not nice to hear."
The family bought a new TV, and if Amelia Su told others about it, others would not take Amelia Su’s words to heart.
Su's father and mother didn't want Su Xueqing to be looked down upon by the Ning family, so they always had to get things from Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing didn't say anything, so Su's father and mother couldn't acquiesce that Su Xueqing wanted to give them things. If Su Xueqing said anything, the Su family couldn't take it for granted.
"It's always better to buy your own TV." Su Yanan has a TV at home. Her three children love watching TV. They even fight over who can watch TV. Su Yanan sets rules for the children, telling them who can watch TV on which day of the week and at what time. Not only children but also adults have to watch TV. "My grandma is old and it's inconvenient for her to go to other people's houses to watch TV. I have a TV at home and I can watch whatever I want."
"That's right." said Su's mother.
"If you hadn't lent the money out, you would have bought it long ago." Su Yanan said, "Mom, you're retired now, so don't lend money to those people anymore. If they don't pay you back, all your money will go down the drain."
"Yes, I know." Mother Su nodded, "It's impossible to borrow it if the money is not paid back."
Two days later, Brother Su San really brought back a TV. When the neighbors saw Brother Su San had bought a TV, they asked, "Is this a new TV?"
