Chapter 83 Comparative Storytelling
"Aunt, am I the cutest baby?" Ning Yuhao asked Su Xueqing.
Before Su Xueqing could speak, Ning Yuhao said, "No, it's the second cutest. The baby that little aunt will give birth to in the future will definitely be the cutest."
"You also know that your aunt will have a baby." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"Of course I know." Ning Yuhao said, "If the uncle and aunt sleep together, there will be a baby."
"Look at the room. I'll put the doll in the room for you." Su Xueqing said. She was amused by Ning Yuhao's words.
"Sister-in-law has to work all the time and has a lot of things to do." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Didn't sister-in-law just come back from the northwest not long ago? She has been going to the grassroots level and visiting those people's homes to understand their situations. Sister-in-law can't take the children with her. Yuhao and his family usually go to school or stay at home, and they rarely go out to play. Their parents did take them out to play, but they don't like to go out with their parents."
Maybe it’s because Ning’s parents are older and Ning Yuhao is more lively, so he likes Su Xueqing more.
"You can stay here." Su Xueqing said, "It's in a city, not too far away. If you miss Yuhao, you can come and take him back anytime."
"My sister-in-law said that she will come to pick up Yuhao in a few days. I'm sorry to trouble you these days." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"Aren't you going to trouble your brother?" Su Xueqing said jokingly.
"What kind of child can my brother take care of?" Ning Jiaxuan said, "It's already good enough that he doesn't need you to treat him like a child."
After arriving in the room, Ning Yuhao took down his schoolbag, put all the things away, and looked at Su Xueqing again, "Aunt, where is the doll?"
"There are some in my room and some downstairs." Su Xueqing said, "Come on, I'll take you to choose."
Last time, after Su Xueqing gave the panda doll to Ning Yurong, she bought two more panda dolls, one upstairs and one downstairs. Su Xueqing originally wanted to buy a few more and give them to Wei Shanshan, but then she thought about it and decided not to give them to Wei Shanshan. If she gave it to Wei Shanshan, she couldn't not give it to Tian Caixia. If she gave it to Tian Caixia, her two brothers would snatch it from her.
So Su Xueqing gave up the idea. It was not that she couldn't afford the money, but other kids would quarrel over these things.
"A panda." Ning Yuhao said, "I want one too. My brother has one, so I want one too."
"Okay, sure." Su Xueqing nodded.
"Is this the big white goose wearing a hat? Does the big white goose also have to go to school?" Ning Yuhao saw the small schoolbag behind the big white goose.
"Yes, the big white goose also has to go to school. It cannot be an uneducated goose." Su Xueqing said.
"Geese, geese, geese, they sing with their necks bent toward the sky." Ning Yuhao said, "I understand."
"Wow, that's amazing. You can recite ancient poems." Su Xueqing praised.
"Xue Qing, no wonder this guy likes to play with you, you are so good at praising him. If he had a tail, it would be up to the sky." Ning Jiaxuan sighed.
"It's not easy for such a young child to know these things." Su Xueqing said.
"Did you learn these things very early when you were a child?" Ning Jiaxuan asked.
"I don't remember, probably not." Su Xueqing said, "I didn't go to school very early when I was a child. My grandma and others could take care of me. I only went to kindergarten for one year and then entered the first grade."
Some children stay in the factory nursery for a long time because their parents have jobs and cannot take care of their children all the time. There are no elderly people at home to help take care of the children, so they can only send their children to the factory nursery and let the teachers take care of them.
"If you start studying early, you will definitely learn more." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"Of course my aunt knows a lot." Ning Yuhao said, "My aunt is a top student at South City University."
"I'm also from Nancheng University, why don't you praise your aunt?" Ning Jiaxuan asked.
"Praise your aunt, and a flower will grow on her head." Ning Yuhao said.
"..." Ning Jiaxuan pretended to be angry, put her hands on her hips, and snorted, "I don't want you as my nephew anymore."
"Aunt, you would have suffered a great loss without my lovely nephew," said Ning Yuhao.
Su Xueqing listened to Ning Yuhao's soft and sweet voice, and she was thinking: This is too cute, human cubs are really super super cute, invincible cuteness.
"Aunt is my aunt's friend, so I can also call her aunt." Ning Yuhao said.
"You are really good at calculating." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You should just call me aunt."
If Ning Jiaxuan dared to let Ning Yuhao call her aunt, if Ning's parents knew about it, they would definitely say that she was corrupting the child and giving the child a wrong understanding. Of course, Ning's parents only said a few words, and Ning's wife would not be unhappy. Ning's wife knew that Ning Jiaxuan was joking with Ning Yuhao.
"Take the doll over first and continue choosing later." Su Xueqing said.
"Put them on both sides of the bed." Ning Yuhao said, "If you put them on both sides, I won't roll onto the ground, but onto the doll."
"Okay, put a thicker blanket on the floor, so you don't have to worry about falling down." Su Xueqing said. There was no special bed for children at home. Ning Yurong was a little older, so he slept directly on it last time. However, the beds in Su Xueqing's house were relatively large, 1.8 meters by 2 meters. She liked big beds herself, and she also put a big bed in the guest room. As for the bed for children, they would be available after the baby was born.
"I won't fall." Ning Yuhao patted his chest gently, "I will spread my legs wide apart, so I won't fall."
Ning Yuhao is like this when he sleeps with his parents and his brother, especially when he sleeps with his brother. Sister-in-law Ning often goes to check if Ning Yuhao has covered himself with the quilt, fearing that Ning Yuhao will kick it off. Ning Yuhao will split his legs, even in his sleep.
Children's sleeping posture is not very good. Mrs. Ning is embarrassed to let Ning Yuhao always sleep with Su Xueqing and the others. She is afraid that Su Xueqing and the others will not sleep well. It is better to let Ning Yuhao sleep alone.
Ning Yuhao can come to Su Xueqing's place, but he has to sleep alone. Ning Yuhao would rather sleep alone, he would come to play with his uncle and aunt.
"You are so awesome." Su Xueqing gave Ning Yuhao a thumbs up.
"I know a lot more." Ning Yuhao said, "I can roll up the quilt. I am a silkworm."
"Don't roll up the quilt in such hot weather." Su Xueqing said. She was worried that Ning Yuhao would wrap himself up and not be able to breathe.
"Listen to my aunt." Ning Yuhao said.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yuhao took several dolls and placed them on the bed, and took a few more from downstairs. Ning Yuhao's room was covered with rattan mats and there was an electric fan in the room. When the time comes, turn down the fan and ask the servants to help watch it.
"Don't put your hands into the electric fan at night, understand?" Su Xueqing reminded Ning Yuhao. She was thinking about whether to put the electric fan in a better position so that Ning Yuhao couldn't touch it. "You will break your fingers."
"Mom said that I'm not stupid and I don't want to have my fingers broken." Ning Yuhao quickly covered his little hands. He wanted to be healthy and still use his little hands to play in the mud.
"Or, you should sleep with us." Su Xueqing was a little worried.
"It's okay. There's a fan at home and I didn't even put my hand in it." Ning Yuhao said.
"Don't worry too much, I'll go with him." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"Aunt!" Ning Yuhao opened his eyes wide, "You didn't even bring any clothes with you."
"I can wear your aunt's clothes." Ning Jiaxuan said.
“But…but…”
"Don't want to sleep with your aunt? Your aunt will be sad." Ning Jiaxuan pretended to be sad.
"Okay, okay, I'll sleep with my aunt." Ning Yuhao sighed, "Aunt, you're already so old."
Ning Jiaxuan wanted to go back home, but after thinking about it, she decided to stay with Ning Yuhao. Ning Jiaxuan was afraid that Su Xueqing could not handle the child alone, and that her best friend would be overwhelmed. She could not let her good friend face such a dilemma. Ning Jiaxuan heard from others that the relationship between sisters-in-law was not easy, and if Ning Yuhao was injured, the eldest sister-in-law would definitely be unhappy.
Things are much simpler with me as his aunt taking care of my nephew.
Ning Jiaxuan decided not to go find other friends to play with. It would be boring if they just ate and drank together anyway. It would be better to go and see Ning Yuhao instead.
When Ning Yanjing returned home, he saw Ning Jiaxuan and Ning Yuhao. Ning Yuhao was staring at the small fish in the basin, holding a small scoop in his hand. These fish were bought by Su Xueqing and the others just now. They bought the fish and put them in the basin so that Ning Yuhao could play with them.
On the way, Ning Yuhao stared at the fish seller. Su Xueqing understood immediately and bought a few small fish.
"One braised and one steamed." Ning Yuhao muttered. He could play the game by himself.
"You want to steam such a small fish?" Ning Yanjing walked to Ning Yuhao's side.
"Uncle." Ning Yuhao's eyes lit up when he saw Ning Yanjing, "Uncle, do you want to catch fish? I know how to catch fish!"
"Play with him for a while." Su Xueqing went over and put the briefcase in Ning Yanjing's hand aside.
Ning Yanjing moved a small chair and sat there to play with Ning Yuhao. He watched Ning Yuhao catch fish and sometimes helped.
After a while, Aunt Li brought the food to the table. Ning Yanjing took Ning Yuhao to wash their hands before eating.
Su Xueqing didn't feed Ning Yuhao. Ning Yuhao said he wanted to eat by himself, so Su Xueqing picked up some food for him. If some meat was too big, she would tear it into smaller pieces to make it easier for Ning Yuhao to eat. The family made fried small crispy fish. After this kind of fish is done, the bones are crispy, and there is no problem of the thorns getting stuck in the throat.
Children are prone to getting stuck by fish bones if they are not careful when eating. Su Xueqing asked Aunt Li to be careful when cooking and not to cook fish with many bones. Ning Yuhao was still young, and if she asked him to eat fish balls, Su Xueqing would cut the fish balls into small pieces and put them in the bowl. If Ning Yuhao ate them again, he would not eat one fish ball at a time, so it was not easy to get stuck.
"Xueqing, you are still cutting fish balls for him." Ning Jiaxuan watched Su Xueqing's actions.
"The fish balls are too big and will get stuck in your throat." Su Xueqing said.
"You are really attentive to him." Ning Jiaxuan used to think that Su Xueqing was very attentive to her, but comparing her with Ning Yuhao, she felt that Su Xueqing was more attentive to Ning Yuhao.
"He is a little kid." Su Xueqing said, "It's always right to take care of him a little more."
In her previous life, Su Xueqing often saw children eating jelly or fish balls with their throats stuck. If the food was taken out too late, the child would be useless. Su Xueqing naturally couldn't let Ning Yuhao have such a problem. The child was still in kindergarten. It would be right to pay more attention to such a young child.
"You really look like a mother." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I don't think my sister-in-law is as cautious as you."
"That's because my sister-in-law has long been accustomed to it. She knows the best way to do it." Su Xueqing said, "but we don't know."
Ning Yanjing simply helped Ning Yuhao cut two more fish balls, so Su Xueqing didn't have to cut them. Ning Yuhao ate the fish balls and felt that they tasted really good.
Although the soup inside the fish balls would flow out after being cut, Ning Yuhao still felt that the fish balls tasted good. Ning Yuhao ate happily, as he really enjoyed having meals with his uncle and aunt.
If Ning Yuhao eats with Ning Dasao, and Ning Yuhao does not cook well, Ning Dasao will look at Ning Yuhao more, and Ning Yuhao will eat more carefully and have more rules. Ning's mother wants to feed Ning Yuhao, but Ning Dasao says don't feed him, let Ning Yuhao eat by himself, a child of this age should eat by himself, can't always let others feed him.
Mrs. Ning did that in order to help Ning Yuhao grow faster. Ning Yuhao didn't stay with Su Xueqing for a long time. Mrs. Ning also asked Ning Yuhao to eat by himself and not wait for others to feed him.
Ning Yuhao is very sensible. He writes down what his mother says, and if he doesn't listen, his mother won't let him come over again.
After dinner, the group went out for a walk.
Su Xueqing held Ning Yuhao's hand, and Ning Jiaxuan refused to go out, saying that it was too hot outside and wanted to stay at home.
In fact, Ning Jiaxuan felt that if she went out with them, it would be more like having one more person. Ning Yuhao only knew his uncle and aunt, so she let Ning Yuhao play with them first. She could just stay in the living room, watch TV, and take a rest.
Ning Jiaxuan doesn’t like taking care of children very much. Children are too troublesome and she doesn’t have the patience of Su Xueqing.
Some neighbors thought Ning Yuhao was Amelia Su’s child and asked him about it. Ning Yuhao quickly said, “It’s my nephew. I’m my aunt’s nephew.”
Then, the neighbor praised Ning Yuhao for being cute.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing didn't buy any popsicles for Ning Yuhao. Su Xueqing thought that there were homemade popsicles in the refrigerator at home, so she could let Ning Yuhao eat them. When they came back from their walk, Ning Jiaxuan was already eating a popsicle.
"Aunt! You cheated on me!" Ning Yuhao said.
"I'm eating this openly, not secretly." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Do you want to eat some? There's more in the refrigerator."
"Yes!" Ning Yuhao said.
"Do you want to eat green beans or red beans?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Mung bean." Ning Yuhao said, "Mung bean turtle."
"Huh?" Su Xueqing was puzzled.
"Mom said that the turtle's eyes are small green beans." Ning Yuhao said.
"Oh." Su Xueqing said, "Then eat mung bean popsicles."
Su Xueqing gave Ning Yuhao a mung bean popsicle and also gave Ning Yanjing one. Su Xueqing ate the red bean one.
"Aunt, watch animation, watch animation." After Ning Yuhao sat down, he reminded his aunt not to watch TV series but to watch cartoons instead.
When Amelia Su learned that Third Sister-in-law Su asked Wei Shanshan to do less work, she said in front of Mother Su, "A little girl must learn to work early. If she doesn't know how to work, she will have a hard time when she gets married."
"She is still young. The most important thing now is for her to study hard." Mrs. Su couldn't help but say.
Amelia Su said these words when she sent her son over, not afraid at all that Wei Shanshan would be sad.
“She…can her grades be good?” Amelia Su said, “her test scores are poor.”
Wei Shanshan's test scores were over 70 or 80, and Amelia Su thought that Wei Shanshan's grades were too poor, instead of thinking about how to improve Wei Shanshan's grades. Amelia Su also thought that it didn't matter whether Wei Shanshan's grades were good or not, and Wei Shanshan could still find a good family to marry in the future.
"Don't just think that my younger sister can get into college and marry a rich brother-in-law. Do you think Shanshan can do it too?" Amelia Su said, "You'd better not have too high expectations of her."
Amelia Su didn't expect too much, and she would be disappointed. Amelia Su thought that she herself didn't pass the college entrance examination, so how could Wei Shanshan pass it? Not to mention Wei Shanshan, even Wei Yaozu, Amelia Su was worried that her son would not be able to get into college.
"I don't expect her to be like my younger sister in the future." Mrs. Su frowned.
"Yamei." Su's mother said, "Your sister-in-law is right. Let Shanshan study more and read more."
“She’s on summer vacation now.” Amelia Su said.
"I have summer homework." Wei Shanshan took out her summer homework.
"Can't you finish that little homework earlier?" Amelia Su said, "Don't wait until school starts before you finish it."
"..." Wei Shanshan stood there without saying anything. No matter what she said or did, her mother was not satisfied.
"As long as you can finish it, it's fine." Su's mother said, "You don't have to worry about it. Don't you want to go back and rest? Go back and rest. You have to get up early tomorrow morning to open the store."
"Mom, please take care of Yaozu more." Amelia Su said, "You have to cover his belly button with a blanket to prevent him from catching a cold."
"Don't worry, I understand, I understand." Su's mother said, "When you were taking care of the child yourself, you let the child get hurt."
“I…I didn’t pay attention for a while.” Amelia Su felt guilty, “I applied beeswax to him, and also asked someone to apply breast milk to him.”
The older generation has a saying that if you bump into something, applying human breast milk will have a good effect. Amelia Su cares about her son, so of course she went to ask for breast milk the first time. She also gave them steamed buns and didn't ask them to give it for free.
"You really should clean up the room." Su's mother said, "If you don't clean up the room before taking the child over, the child might get hurt."
"I'll go back and fix it." Amelia Su said.
"Boys get bruised and scarred, and no girl will like them in the future." Su's mother said, "Do you think your son will hate you in the future? Say that you didn't take good care of him?"
“Isn’t this a lot of things to do?” Amelia Su said, “I’ll go back and sort it out.”
"Go back." said Su's mother.
Su San's wife stewed some lotus seeds, and it was a good time to eat lotus seed soup. Su San's wife put the lotus seed soup in the refrigerator for a while. It was a little cold, but not frozen. Su San's wife added honey and sugar, and then scooped it for everyone to eat. Su San's wife also scooped it for Wei Shanshan.
"We've made quite a bit, but it's not enough. Keep scooping." Mrs. Su said to Wei Shanshan, "This is your grandparents' home, don't be too restrained."
When they were eating together, if Su Sansao saw that Wei Shanshan didn't pick up any food, she would pick up food for her, including vegetables and meat dishes. Su Sansao wanted Wei Shanshan to learn to pick up the food by herself, and not to be afraid to pick up the food all the time, because she would eat too little and not grow well.
Both Mrs. Su and Brother Su San have jobs, and Father Su has a high salary. When Su Xueqing comes over, she also brings some fruits and other things, so the Su family lives a relatively good life.
"Eat it." Mrs. Su said, "Is it sweet enough? Do you want to add some more sugar?"
"Enough, enough." Wei Shanshan said quickly.
Wei Shanshan didn't remember much about her childhood, and she thought her mother must not have asked her if she wanted more sugar. Wei Shanshan's bowl of lotus seed soup was as big as the adults'. Mrs. Su was worried that Wei Shanshan would say she had enough, but in fact, she hadn't eaten enough, so she scooped a little more the first time.
If the family was extremely poor, there would be no way out. Even the working people had nothing to eat, let alone Wei Shanshan. The family had the conditions to eat better, so Mrs. Su San was naturally generous to Wei Shanshan.
Mrs. Su didn't emphasize to Wei Shanshan that she should be nicer to her uncle and aunt in the future. Mrs. Su had her own son, and she didn't expect Wei Shanshan to help her son in the future. Wei Shanshan still had a younger brother.
"Is it delicious?" asked Mrs. Su.
"It's delicious." Wei Shanshan nodded.
"If it tastes good, you can eat more." said Mrs. Su.
The two little ones were too small, so Mrs. Su gave them lotus seed soup that was not put in the refrigerator but slightly cooled down. She was afraid that the children's stomachs would be affected and it would be too cold.
After Amelia Su returned, she started to clean up the room. If it wasn't for her son, she would have never cleaned up the room if she wasn't afraid that her son would bump into something. Amelia Su always felt that she was very hardworking, much more hardworking than Amelia Su, but Amelia Su's home was not so messy. Amelia Su had servants to clean up the things, but Amelia Su didn't have servants to clean up the things, so she and her man had to clean up the things.
The clothes that have been dried are either left hanging outside or brought in and thrown on the chairs.
Amelia Su didn't fold the clothes and put them away at first, thinking that she would have to wear them later, so she didn't fold them. If she folded them, she would have to unfold them when she wore them, which would be a waste of time.
"Help me clean up." Amelia Su said to Wei Dashan, "Yaozu bumped his head before, and mom asked us to clean up the room because we have children at home."
“Okay.” How could Wei Dashan say no? He could only follow Amelia Su to pack up.
Some socks were left nearby and had not been washed for days. There were also some melon seed shells in the corners, which all needed to be cleaned out.
This cleaning took nearly two hours. When Wei Dashan and Su Yamei went to take a shower and sleep, it was already very late. They took a nap for a while and then had to open the store again.
Early in the morning, Ning Jiaxuan took Ning Yuhao downstairs. Last night, Ning Yuhao asked Ning Jiaxuan to tell a story. Ning Jiaxuan and Ning Yuhao stared at each other, and then Su Xueqing went to tell Ning Yuhao a story.
Ning Jiaxuan asked Su Xueqing if she often listened to stories when she was a child. Su Xueqing said no, but she knew more fairy tales after she went to school. Telling stories to children does not mean that you have to follow the fairy tale books and make up stories. Anyway, many film and television dramas also make secondary creations when adapting fairy tales. Children will not be tested on fairy tales when they grow up.
As long as the content is roughly the same, there is no problem. When children tell fairy tales to each other, they are just speaking in childish language and can use their imagination.
When Ning Yuhao was listening to Su Xueqing telling stories, he lamented that his aunt couldn't tell any. Ning Jiaxuan said at the time that she would take away all of Ning Yuhao's dolls, and if she slept with the dolls for a few more days, she would learn. Ning Yuhao quickly hugged the doll, fearing that Ning Jiaxuan would snatch it away. But there were many dolls on the bed, and Ning Yuhao couldn't hold them all. The aunt and nephew had a lot of fun playing.
"Aunt." Ning Yuhao saw Su Xueqing coming down from upstairs and hurriedly said, "Come on, aunt, come and have dinner."
When Ning Yuhao got up in the morning, he did not knock on Su Xueqing's door. He knew not to disturb his uncle and aunt's sleep.
Ning Yanjing got up a little earlier, went out for a run, came back to have breakfast, and went to work. Su Xueqing got up a little later, around nine o'clock.
The weather was quite hot, and even with a fan, Su Xueqing still felt more sleepy in the early morning, so she went to bed a little later.
"Have you eaten?" Su Xueqing asked.
"We just came down and he just ate a few bites." Ning Jiaxuan said, "He asked him to sit down to eat, but he ran to watch TV and said he could just hold it with his hands. We had no choice but to ask Aunt Li to put the food on the coffee table and let him sit on a small stool to eat."
"It's okay to eat here." Su Xueqing said, "It's not that particular."
"Sister-in-law should say that we didn't help Yuhao develop good habits." Ning Jiaxuan joked.
"Mom is not here. She can't see." Ning Yuhao said.
"Yes, your mother didn't see it, so you can do as much as you want." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"Play however you want." Su Xueqing said, "It's great that the children didn't fight or get into trouble."
"You have very low expectations for children." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"Just these few days." Su Xueqing said. If she was asked to take care of the child for a long time, she would certainly not say that. If she took care of the child for a long time, she would have to teach the child more things. Now, Su Xueqing only took Ning Yuhao to play for a few days, not often, so she didn't need to think about how to teach Ning Yuhao.
By the way, after Yan Yichen was hospitalized for stomach pain, Xu Ruyun brought meals to Yan Yichen many times, or simply cooked in the factory cafeteria.
"You don't have to do these." Yan Yichen said directly when he saw Xu Ruyun coming to bring him soup again.
"I'm just designing a blueprint. Don't I have no inspiration sometimes? I like to cook and go out for a walk." Xu Ruyun said, "Sitting in the office all the time will make you stupid. Don't be polite if it's something that comes naturally. I don't cook for you every day. It's not just you who eats, others also eat."
Xu Ruyun sometimes cooked with the chef. She was not afraid of heat, and her cooking was good. She could also have fun with the people in the cafeteria. Xu Ruyun did not think about controlling the cafeteria. What was there to control? She had a small share in the factory, and her second brother had an even smaller share. If she made too much trouble, others would have a problem with her, which would be bad.
"Eat it, eat it." Xu Ruyun said, "Don't think my cooking is not tasty."
"You are a good cook." Yan Yichen prefers the food cooked by Xu Ruyun. It tastes good and makes people feel warm.
When Yan Yichen was on a farm in the countryside, he had a bad background. Even though he looked okay, the people told the girls not to get close to him, fearing that they would take a liking to Yan Yichen's appearance. If someone brought food to Yan Yichen, the girl's parents would come to Yan Yichen and abuse him.
After being scolded, Yan Yichen ignored the girls who approached him. He had no intention of being with them. Or should we say that Yan Yichen looked down on those girls. Those country girls had no education and only wanted to marry a so-called good family and have children. They had no pursuit in life and many of them could not read or write.
Such girls have no cultural level, so Yan Yichen can't get close to them. In addition, Yan Yichen can't get any benefits from them, and will be criticized by others, so it's better to ignore them.
"I rent a house and cook for myself," said Xu Ruyun. "I come to work in the factory and often eat in the cafeteria. When I set up a stall, my second sister-in-law sometimes cooks, and when she cooks, she also brings me a portion."
"Does your sister-in-law bring you food?" Yan Yichen asked.
"Yes." Xu Ruyun said, "My second sister-in-law is a top student at Nancheng University. She married my second brother, but she didn't act superior. She even cooked for me. I like this second sister-in-law very much. She didn't make things difficult for me. When she said she wanted to buy shares, she was willing to pay, not unwilling to pay."
In Xu Ruyun's eyes, Yu Li was much better than Xu Dasao. Xu Dasao didn't want to pay, she just wanted to take advantage. There was no such good thing in the world.
It is impossible for Xu Ruyun to give things to others for free. After what happened in her previous life, Xu Ruyun has understood that others are unreliable and only herself is the most reliable.
"Family members should help each other." Xu Ruyun said, "It's just a small favor."
Xu Ruyun deliberately said this in front of Yan Yichen. She knew that some people seemed more serious and ruthless on the surface, but in fact they longed for family affection. When Yan Yichen was sick and hospitalized, no family members visited him. Xu Ruyun also knew that Yan's mother often called to check on Yan Yichen. Yan's mother's tone to Yan Yichen was not very good, but Yan Yichen was still so good to her mother, which showed that Yan Yichen was a very affectionate person in his bones.
"..." Yan Yichen lowered his head and drank the soup. Sometimes he envied Xu Ruyun because Xu Ruyun's family members were all nice.
"You eat, I'll go back first." Xu Ruyun said, "After you finish eating, just ask the assistant to send the bowls and chopsticks to the cafeteria. I asked the cafeteria staff to put away the bowls and chopsticks I will use. Next time, I will use those bowls and chopsticks."
What Xu Ruyun meant was that she didn't let Yan Yichen use the same bowls and chopsticks as others because she was afraid that Yan Yichen wouldn't want to use them with others.
"It's okay, we can use them together." Yan Yichen said, "They are all from the factory."
Yan Yichen has been on the farm for so many years that he no longer cares about things. Before Yan Yichen was sent to the farm, he did care about things in the Yan family. Now that Yan Yichen has returned to South City, he doesn't care about things when he's outside, but when he's at home, his mother will care about things.
Yan's mother was the type who would say something if she was not satisfied with something. She was like a down-and-out noble who wanted to show off her wealth even though her family was no longer in a good position. If her family was in a good position, Yan's mother would only show off her wealth in an even more outrageous way.
"We are all ordinary people, there is no need to be so particular." Yan Yichen said.
"That's right. You often eat in the factory cafeteria and eat the same food as everyone else." Xu Ruyun said, "Everyone says that you don't act like a boss and that you're a very nice person."
"You go back first." Yan Yichen said.
"Okay, let's go." Xu Ruyun said.
Xu Ruyun walked out of Yan Yichen's office. She didn't stay for long. If she stayed too long, people would misunderstand her. Xu Ruyun was not afraid of being misunderstood. She was afraid that Yan Yichen would know her thoughts too early and would not let her come. Xu Ruyun wanted Yan Yichen to like her more.
Su Yanan did not take the children to visit Su Xueqing. Although the two sisters lived close to each other, Su Yanan did not want others to think that she was going there to get money. During the summer vacation, she basically took the three children with her. Su Yanan occasionally took the children to Su Xueqing's house, but it was not good to go there often.
At this time, Su Yanan took her daughter to Su's mother's place, and her two sons did not go with her, so her mother-in-law took care of the two sons. It was just right for Tian Caixia to play with Wei Shanshan. Tian Caixia was spoiled by her parents, and her grandmother was also good to her, but she had a stronger temper.
When Tian Caixia plays with Wei Shanshan, she will yell if she is not satisfied. Wei Shanshan usually gives in to Tian Caixia to avoid quarrels with her.
"It's so hot, I asked my mother-in-law to keep an eye on her precious grandson." Su Yanan said, "I heard that someone went to play by the river and disappeared. A child around ten years old, just gone like that."
"When the weather is hot, not only children, but also adults like to play by the river." Su's mother said, "When you were young, I often told you not to play by the river, especially not to play by the big river. There are so many people who die every year on the Yazui River, both adults and children. Even those who know the situation don't dare to play by the river casually."
"The parents didn't look after the child, so the child ran away." Su Yanan said, "It's okay here, we are some distance away from the river. The river in the city is not deep, but the river in the suburbs is a little deeper, and there is also the riverside."
"Your brother used to take your sister to the river to fish. I beat him several times, but he didn't learn his lesson. Your sister told him not to go, but he just smiled." Su's mother said, "The stream we went to later is a very shallow stream, less than one meter wide beside the field."
At the beginning, Su's mother was really worried that something might happen to her children. She would be very heartbroken whether it was her son or daughter.
"The younger brother doesn't just take his younger sister to catch fish and shrimp, he takes his younger sister to show off to others. His younger sister is the prettiest." How could Su Yanan not know her younger brother's temper?
Before Su Xueqing was born, Su Sange was the youngest, with two older sisters. Su Yanan and Su Yamei both looked ordinary, and some boys liked to show off their younger sisters instead of their older sisters, so Su Sange wanted a younger sister at that time. When Su's mother was pregnant with Su Xueqing, Su Sange often said he wanted a younger sister. When others said he wanted a younger sister, his mother gave birth to a son, and Su Sange quickly said he wanted a younger brother.
"He is just that kind of person," said Su's mother.
"Let's not talk about him. Your late grandfather had the same personality." Old Mrs. Su came back with her little great-grandson. "Your grandfather didn't like girls very much, but when he saw Xueqing, he liked her very much. When Xueqing was little, he often carried her out to play. He was very proud when others praised her for being pretty."
Old Mrs. Su recalled the events of the past, and those events seemed to have happened yesterday and were still vivid in her mind.
"Your brother looks a lot like your grandfather," said Old Mrs. Su.
"Grandma." Su Yanan said, "It's so hot outside, why are you still going out?"
"Your nephew wants to go out." Old Mrs. Su said, "Your mother will take care of the other one. I will take him out for a walk. The stroller is very convenient."
The stroller Su Xueqing gave was relatively stable and was bought in the mall. The Su family had two children, so Su Xueqing simply bought two. In this way, when Old Lady Su and Mother Su took the children out, they didn't have to carry them all the time. Originally, the Su family only had a relatively shabby stroller, and with two children in it, it was not easy for them to squeeze together.
Su Xueqing did that not for the sake of the two young children, but for the sake of the two old people. Su Xueqing herself has not given birth to a child yet. When she does, there will be servants at home to take care of the child, and Su's mother and old lady will not need to help take care of the child.
Especially Mrs. Su, she looks healthy at such an old age, but she is not really that healthy. As the child grows up day by day, the weight increases, so it is much more convenient to have a baby stroller. The baby stroller was bought last year, not this year.
"It just makes Xueqing spend more money." said Old Mrs. Su.
"Xueqing is willing to spend the money, just take it." Su Yanan said, "It's for the two children, not for you."
"Xueqing is worried that my old waist can't take it." said Old Mrs. Su.
Others don't understand Su Xueqing's thoughts, but Old Lady Su does. Su Xueqing was brought up by Old Lady Su. When Su Xueqing sticks her butt out to fart, Old Lady Su knows what the fart smells like.
"Yes, you have to be careful with your waist." Su Yanan said, "When I was taking care of these children at home, I sprained my waist and it was very uncomfortable. My mother-in-law helps take care of the children, but it is impossible for her to do it every day. I still have to take care of them more myself."
Su Yanan's mother-in-law is quite strong. She doesn't work like a cow or a horse, and doesn't help take care of the children every day. Su Yanan doesn't dare to say anything bad about her mother-in-law. When her mother-in-law doesn't help take care of the children, she gives her some money, which is considered a good move by a good mother-in-law. If Su Yanan is still not satisfied, her husband will be unhappy, and her family will also say something about her.
In this era, mothers-in-law are generally quite strong. Few daughters-in-law dare to criticize their mothers-in-law, nor dare to resist them. They almost all listen to what their mothers-in-law say.
At the Xu family, Mrs. Xu didn't know Xu Ruyun's feelings for Yan Yichen. She asked Xu's mother, "Ruyun's ex-boyfriend is already a father. Doesn't Ruyun consider finding a suitable partner as soon as possible?"
