Chapter 49: You'll get it sooner or later after you've emptied it
Lin's mother was quite familiar with Mei the matchmaker, and the two of them kept in touch after Lin Jincai got married.
"They asked the Su family." Mei Matchmaker said, "The Su family said that the college students of South City University are good."
Mei Matchmaker thought that Su Xueqing probably didn't tell her family about the conflict between her and Yu Li. After all, it was just a little friction between students, and there was no need to tell her parents. The children in her family had friction with other students in elementary school and junior high school, so it was impossible that there was nothing at all.
"The Su family doesn't know about those things." Matchmaker Mei said, "I don't know if Su Xueqing cares about it or not. But Yu Li is marrying a neighbor of the Su family, not marrying into the Su family, so Su Xueqing doesn't need to object. They are not married, and Su Xueqing's family will be neighbors with the Xu family in the future. Yu Li doesn't necessarily live in the Xu family. She said she wanted the Xu family to buy a house, and the Xu family is preparing to buy a house. The Xu family's conditions are not as good as yours. If it were your family, Yu Li would never dare to say that."
"Of course our family is better than the Xu family." Lin's mother said, "Our house is big, my son has a stable job and a high salary, how can the Xu family compare to us."
"No, no." Matchmaker Mei said, "Yu Li married into your family, which was considered a high marriage. She was unwilling to marry into the Xu family, so she asked the Xu family to prepare those things. The Xu family also knows what their family conditions are. If they want a female college student to marry into their family, of course they have to pay something. Their family has made some money from the stall, and the eldest son lives at home with his wife and children. There is not enough space at home, and if they have money, they will have to buy a house. If their second son gets married and buys a house, others can still say that they are good to the future second daughter-in-law."
This is what Yu Li wanted. Yu Li wanted others to know that her future in-laws valued her. She couldn't let others think that she married into the Xu family casually. She couldn't be looked down upon by others. The Xu family and the Su family were still relatives. Yu Li didn't want Su Xueqing to think that she just married someone casually in order to stay in Nancheng.
"Young girls, who are also college students, are always a little arrogant." Mei Matchmaker said, "South City is building a development zone, and will need more architecture students in the future. But she changed her major and studied something else. It's better for your daughter-in-law to be a teacher, with a stable job."
Matchmaker Mei said things that Lin's mother would like to hear, and Lin's mother was indeed very happy to hear them.
"It just so happens that the middle school is short of teachers." Lin's mother said, "She is from a normal school, so it's easy to arrange for her. She is also obedient, so she's fine."
Lin's mother was very strict with her daughter-in-law. She had to tell her how much she spent on vegetables and keep accounts. She would check which store sold cheaper vegetables and which sold more expensive vegetables. She said her daughter-in-law was spending money recklessly before she started earning any money. She said her daughter-in-law didn't know how to save money and didn't know how hard it was to be the head of a household.
Lin's mother's daughter-in-law really didn't dare to say anything for the time being, and could only bow her head. Lin Jincai himself didn't like his wife that much. Between his wife and his biological mother, Lin Jincai decisively chose his biological mother without hesitation.
In the shop, Amelia Su was wearing a hat made of newspapers on her head, and she was tidying up carefully. It's not that Amelia Su can't do these jobs. When she first came to the city, she also worked as a vegetable washer in a restaurant for a few days. Without a son, she was holding back her breath, and Amelia Su was unwilling to do it.
But now, she had to do it. Amelia Su didn't consider her and her man, didn't consider her daughter, but had to consider her son. Amelia Su couldn't let others say that her son had nothing, couldn't wait until her son grew up and couldn't find a good partner, and couldn't be resented by her son.
For her son, Amelia Su can do a lot of things, as if she is a mother for the first time, and she is like a stepmother when she is Wei Shanshan's mother. Wei Shanshan is Amelia Su's biological daughter, not a daughter she picked up from the roadside, and she can't raise someone else's daughter.
“It will take two more days to clean up.” Amelia Su came down from the ladder and wiped the sweat off her face with a towel.
"Are the steamers ready?" Su's mother asked, "We need to prepare this too."
"It has been ordered." Amelia Su said, "Don't worry, we all know how to prepare these things. Dashan has asked people, compared prices, and looked at the quality of the things. If the quality is not up to standard, we don't want them. Besides, the people recommended by Dad will not be bad."
"Yes." Su's mother nodded. "You want to open a breakfast shop, run it well and do your job well. Don't complain about being tired. There are few people who are not tired when it comes to making money. You have to work hard, you have to..."
“I know.” Amelia Su said.
"You only worked for a few days last year," said Su's mother.
"Last year, it was an accident." Amelia Su said, "How could I know that I was pregnant at that time? If I knew that I was pregnant at that time, I would not have thought about working at the beginning. It's not easy to do things when you are pregnant. Now that you have given birth, you can do things. Mom, didn't you tell me to do things well before? I am doing it well now. I have come to sort out these things."
Amelia Su did not let Wei Dashan do it alone. If they opened a breakfast shop, two people could do more. Amelia Su could make dumplings, not that she couldn't. She could do a lot of things.
“We can do it well if we are our own bosses.” Amelia Su said, “Mom, don’t look down on me like this.”
"We don't look down on you, we're just afraid that you'll be too enthusiastic for three minutes." Su's mother said, "We don't worry about your man, he can get things done."
Su's mother was mainly worried that Amelia Su would not want to do it after a few days. Amelia Su was talking about opening a bun shop when she was eating New Year's Eve dinner. Now it can be said that Amelia Su and her husband opened it. She also said it when Amelia Su was in confinement. At that time, the Su family did not take Amelia Su's words to heart.
Su Yamei was in confinement after giving birth and couldn't do anything, and Wei Dashan hadn't yet mastered the skill of making steamed buns.
Now, Wei Dashan makes very good buns and knows how to mix the fillings. The fillings and the dough are both very important. Only when both are delicious can they attract more people. At the same price, whichever store has the better stuff will make more money.
The breakfast shop is small, and Amelia Su and others can tidy it up in a few days. Amelia Su and Wei Dashan didn't cook these days, so they went to Su's house for dinner.
In the evening, when Amelia Su and others returned to the Su family, Su Yanan had already prepared the meal, and Amelia Su had gone back.
"Why did you buy so many snacks?" Su's mother saw a large bag of snacks on the coffee table.
"Xueqing took Shanshan out to buy food, and bought so much." Su Yanan said, "I thought she just wanted to buy a lollipop, but she said we could eat it, too, and she was coaxing us like children. I think she likes these things herself, she loves to eat them, and she bought them for us too."
"She is still young." said Su's mother.
"My little sister is not young anymore. She can get married soon." Amelia Su looked at the things in the bag. "She has money. She can buy these foods."
Amelia Su also likes to eat these things, but if she is asked to buy them herself, forget it. This bag of odds and ends will cost a lot of money.
"Don't eat those, eat first." Su's mother said.
Mrs. Su went to work, Su Yanan cooked, and Mrs. Su took care of the children. After Su Yamei's breakfast shop was renovated, Su's mother came back to take care of the children, and Su Yanan didn't need to help.
"I just asked my little sister to hold the baby, but she still didn't dare to do it." Su Yanan said, "She saw that the baby was still very young and was worried that she wouldn't be able to hold it properly."
"She doesn't know how to hold a baby." Su's mother said, "She can look at the baby, which is good enough. Do you still expect her to hold the baby? She is still a child herself."
Amelia Su once again heard Su's mother say that Amelia Su was young, and she didn't say much. Amelia Su had known for a long time that the Su family liked Amelia Su very much, and they mentioned Amelia Su in a light tone.
"You didn't let her eat at home?" Su's mother asked.
"Yes, my little sister said she would go back to eat." Su Yanan said, "I guess she thought I had to cook for so many people by myself, and she was afraid that I would be tired and embarrassed. I said she could help, but she said it was too hot, so she refused to help."
Su Yanan started laughing as she spoke. "To be honest, she is dressed so beautifully, it is not appropriate for her to go to the kitchen. She can eat more delicious food at home. There are people at home who cook for her. Why should she go to the kitchen and make herself sweaty? Among us sisters, it is a blessing for my younger sister to have a good partner."
“Didn’t you marry well?” Amelia Su raised her eyebrows.
"It's not bad." Su Yanan said, "We have to do housework at home, such as washing clothes and cooking. We have to do it ourselves. My little sister has a servant at home, and she doesn't have to work hard. My little sister is a college student with a good future. As for us, we live the life of ordinary people. Big sister, instead of letting other sisters live a good life, isn't it better for our sister to live a good life?"
“Okay, okay, I didn’t say it’s not good.” Amelia Su said.
"This breakfast shop is not easy to run." Su Yanan reminded Amelia Su, "The ingredients have changed, and everyone can taste it."
“We all know that it’s impossible to fool people.” Amelia Su said, “My store hasn’t even opened yet, and you guys are talking too much.”
These words said by one by one, as if Amelia Su would make trouble later. No one would go against money, adulteration, and business would be bad over time. Amelia Su thought she was not a brainless person, and she knew what to do.
Su Xueqing and Ning Yanjing were walking together on the campus path. The campus seemed a little more lively in the evening. During the summer vacation, the campus was really quiet during the day. In the evening, many students who stayed in school came out, and it became much more lively.
"When my sister's shop opens, we will buy a flower basket for her." Su Xueqing said, "The flower basket is for show but not for eating. Mom will definitely say it's a waste of money. But we can't not buy it. My eldest sister will remember anything you don't do well."
"Buy a medium-priced flower basket." Ning Yanjing suggested, "Both my aunt and my eldest sister will be satisfied."
"Buy the same flower basket as your second sister and go over there." Su Xueqing said, "Being the youngest sister is like this. You don't have to think too much. Just look at what the older brothers and sisters in front of you do and don't go beyond them."
Su Xueqing didn't know how to prepare things, so she always did this. With her brothers and sisters in front of her, she was not worried.
When Su Sange and Su Yamei's child was one month old, Su Xueqing gave different things, and Su Sange's child got something more expensive. Su Xueqing and Su Sange had a good relationship. Su Sange used to pick Su Xueqing up from school. Su Xueqing and Su Sange grew up together. Su Sange drove away those gangsters for Su Xueqing. Su Sange did a lot of things.
It's just that Brother Su San is not like Amelia Su, who would yell that everyone knows about it after doing something. Brother Su San would not tell Amelia Su what he had done before and ask Amelia Su to return something.
Brother Su San thought that was what a brother should do, and Sister Su San was also good to Su Xueqing.
"It's good for Big Sister to open a breakfast shop. They don't have to find another job." Su Xueqing said, "They can be their own bosses. They don't have to look at other people's faces, nor will they feel controlled by others and can't speak loudly in front of others."
“Yes.” Ning Yanjing understood what Amelia Su meant. He had met Amelia Su, and after a long time, Ning Yanjing naturally knew what kind of person Amelia Su was.
Amelia Su is a contradictory person. She hopes Amelia Su can find her a job, but she doesn't want to owe Amelia Su a favor, and doesn't want to work in the store of Amelia Su's boyfriend. She wants to be a relative, but she is afraid of being looked down upon.
Ning Yanjing didn't care much about Amelia Su. As long as Amelia Su didn't embarrass Amelia Su, Amelia Su could do whatever she wanted. In front of Amelia Su, Ning Yanjing didn't say anything wrong about Amelia Su.
"Where's Jiaxuan? I haven't seen her for several days." Su Xueqing asked, "Is she traveling?"
"I was stung by a bee and didn't dare to come out." Ning Yanjing said.
"What? I don't know. I'll go see her tomorrow." Su Xueqing said.
"No, don't go." Ning Yanjing stopped Su Xueqing.
"Why?" Su Xueqing didn't understand.
"She loves beauty." Ning Yanjing said, "She specifically told me not to go, for fear that it would scare you, and also for fear that it would scare herself."
Ning Jiaxuan said that when she saw Su Xueqing was frightened and her pupils shrank, she felt very ugly and decided not to let Su Xueqing go.
"How did you get stung by a bee?" Su Xueqing asked.
"When she went out to play, she saw a place with lots of flowers and tried to imitate others in taking nice photos there, and she even stuffed her face into the flowers." Ning Yanjing said, "If the bees don't do this, who will she sting?"
"Uh... smell the flowers, that's nothing, right?" Su Xueqing said.
"There are people raising bees nearby." Ning Yanjing said, "There are many flowers over there, so they specially raise bees there."
“…” Su Xueqing couldn’t say that others were wrong. Beekeeping is all about chasing blooming flowers.
In her previous life, Su Xueqing had read news reports about beekeepers who traveled all over the country just to find flowers for their bees and they never stayed in one place.
"It's a good thing you didn't go with her." Ning Yanjing said, "Several people were drinking tea and playing over there, but she was the only one who got into trouble. If you had gone, the others could still say it was you who did it."
"Me?" Su Xueqing opened her eyes wide, "What does this have to do with me?"
"Because you are the easiest to bully." Ning Yanjing joked.
Su Xueqing thought about it and it made sense. Her family background was not good, but other people's family backgrounds were good. They didn't even have to think about it and just said that it was Su Xueqing who caused it.
"But they don't dare to do that." Ning Yanjing said, in Su Xueqing's confused and bewildered eyes, "I'm behind you."
"Are you praising yourself?" Su Xueqing smiled.
"They like the way we are together." Ning Yanjing said, "When they see you, they think of me. We are one."
"Jiaxuan doesn't allow me to watch it, really?" Su Xueqing hesitated, "I will take it seriously."
"Really?" Ning Yanjing said, "She said it herself. She looks ugly, so it's better if fewer people see her. It's not someone else who said it, so she can't say that you don't go to see her. Look, you still know how to ask her and care about her. When she goes out to play, she may not think of you."
If Ning Jiaxuan knew what Ning Yanjing was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes.
At the Ning family, Ning Jiaxuan's eyelids were still red and swollen and had not completely gone away. In addition to the eyelids, there were also several other places with the swelling.
Ning Jiaxuan took a look at herself in the mirror. She looked so ugly that she absolutely could not let others see her ugly appearance.
"It will be fine in a few days." Ning's mother said, "Luckily, it wasn't a wasp. If it was a wasp, it wouldn't be so easy to heal."
"Who knew there were so many bees over there?" Ning Jiaxuan said, "Next time, I must remind them that it's okay to look for beautiful flowers, but they have to see if there are so many bees."
"Bees exist in nature and it's impossible for them to disappear," said Ning's mother.
"There are fewer bees." Ning Jiaxuan said, "There are too many bees this time. Fortunately, I didn't let Xueqing go. If Xueqing went and got stung, my brother would definitely deduct my pocket money. Xueqing is busy with the Architectural Design Institute. It's not like when she was a freshman, she had a lot of time to accompany me."
"You are all grown up now and have your own things to do." Ning's mother said, "Xueqing is good like that."
"Mom, do you also want me to be like Xueqing?" Ning Jiaxuan asked, "Xueqing is capable and is often praised by teachers. Teachers like her very much. Even my cousin's father-in-law says she is good and praises her."
"Do you also want others to praise you?" Ning's mother asked back.
"No." Ning Jiaxuan curled her lips, "Who doesn't like others' compliments?"
"You are different from Xueqing, and your future is different." Ning's mother said, "Xueqing, she must work hard."
"It's not like our family can't afford to support her," said Ning Jiaxuan.
"Don't say that in front of Xueqing. It makes people think you don't want her to work." Ning's mother said, "You have a good family background. As long as your family doesn't fall, you can live a good life. As for Xueqing, she doesn't work hard and doesn't have a career. Without your brother, she will be nothing."
Ning's mother is a woman, she knows how bad this world is to women. Su Xueqing's efforts are right, no matter whether her future partner is good or not, she has worked hard, and that effort belongs to her.
"Xueqing is a smart girl." After Ning's mother had more contact with Su Xueqing, she liked Su Xueqing more and more, and was more and more satisfied with this future daughter-in-law. "She is sensible, sensible, and talented..."
"If she's not good, how can I be friends with her?" Ning Jiaxuan said, "Xue Qing must have asked brother about me, and I asked him not to tell. At first, Xue Qing didn't know, because I often go out to play, so this is normal. But if we haven't seen each other for a few days, Xue Qing will definitely ask."
"You, are going to make your brother jealous." Ning's mother reached out and touched Ning Jiaxuan's nose.
"Xueqing and I have known each other for a long time. The feelings between us cannot be replaced by others." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I am not saying that Xueqing and I..."
Ning's mother listened to Ning Jiaxuan chattering about what happened between her and Su Xueqing, and she wanted to say: I know, I know, you two have a good relationship.
Aunt Ning Er failed to introduce Ning Yanjing to a date. After she knew that Su Xueqing was Ning Jiaxuan's classmate, she told people that Ning Jiaxuan wanted a sister-in-law who would listen to her and treat her well. Su Xueqing happened to be someone Ning Jiaxuan could control. This word spread within a certain range. Some people believed it, while others did not.
Most people think that Ning Yanjing is unlikely to feel sorry for Ning Jiaxuan as much as for his younger sister. How can a grown man let his sister decide his future partner? This is too ridiculous. Most people prefer to believe that Ning Yanjing likes Su Xueqing's beautiful appearance. There are many beauties in the world, but few are as beautiful as Su Xueqing.
Su Xueqing listened to Ning Yanjing and his sister, and she did not go to see Ning Jiaxuan. Su Xueqing thought about it and felt that it was not right. She was a woman, not a man, so she had to respect Ning Jiaxuan's decision.
"Didn't you tell Jiaxuan that I shouldn't go over there?" Su Xueqing couldn't help but ask again.
"No." Ning Yanjing said, "I didn't say that. She was afraid of being ugly. She said that she was not as pretty as you, so she didn't want you to see her uglier side. She said that bees have no moral principles, so how could they sting her face."
Su Xueqing's mind flashed with the image of Ning Jiaxuan putting her face close to the flower. It is indeed unlikely that a bee would sting other parts of the body, as the face is the closest place to the bee.
"After a few days, when the heat has subsided, you can go and see her." Ning Yanjing said, "Okay, she doesn't have to hide in the room anymore. If you go there tomorrow, she might still be hiding in the room."
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "I'll go see her in a few days."
"Maybe, when the time comes, you won't have to go there, she will come to find you." Ning Yanjing said.
The Xu family fell in love with a two-bedroom, one-living-room house in the same alley. The house had property rights and was not a unit-allocated house. The owner of the house did not plan to stay in South City and wanted to move to another place, so he planned to sell the house. The price of the house was not high, and the Xu family scraped together some money and bought the house.
"Second brother, you are getting married and there is an empty room. You can let Ruyun live here first." said Xu's mother.
"Don't." Xu Ruyun's eyelids jumped. She was speechless when she heard what her mother said. "I can just rent a house. I will buy a house in the future."
"Why should a woman buy a house? Wait until you get married and your man has the house." Xu's mother did not quite agree with Xu Ruyun buying a house.
"If you make more money, you can buy it." Xu Ruyun said, "Mom, don't think about letting me live with my second brother. I don't want to live here. Not to mention aunts and sisters-in-law, even if brothers and sisters live together, there may be conflicts. Let my second brother and his wife live on their own."
After what happened in her previous life, Xu Ruyun understood a lot of things.
"You paid the money..." said Xu's mother, "Although the house is under your second brother's name, but..."
"Don't say but." Xu Ruyun said, "As adults, you need to have some sense of propriety and stop thinking about other people's things all the time."
"How can it be someone else's property? This house..."
"Mom," Xu Ruyun said, "Please don't say that all the time. If my future sister-in-law hears it, she will be unhappy. This house belongs to my second brother, so it belongs to him. Mom, you guys live nearby, so you can come and help. If you want to lecture me, it's better not to come over and let my second brother and his family live on their own."
"Whose daughter are you?" Xu's mother asked, "Your second brother hasn't even married yet, and you don't even have a second sister-in-law."
"The house has been bought, and my second sister-in-law will have one soon." Xu Ruyun said, "Mom, don't tell my future second sister-in-law how much I paid for the house. I have to stay here. I don't plan to live here. I've said that I paid part of the money, and I won't ask my second brother to return it."
There is no end to making money. The current housing prices are cheap, and Xu Ruyun is happy to give money to her second brother. Xu Ruyun doesn't care whether he is being taken advantage of or not. People who make a lot of money should not be obsessed with such a small matter and think about whether they are taking advantage of others at home all day long.
There are only a few things in the house. What is there to fight for? Xu Ruyun is going to fight with people outside.
"Now that we have a house, my second brother can bring his future second sister-in-law over." Xu Ruyun said, "We can even show her the property title deed. If she says she wants a house, we'll buy it for her."
"Mom, there are some furniture..." Brother Xu looked at Mother Xu.
"Brother, use the furniture if it's usable," Xu Ruyun said. "Buy some pots, pans, and utensils. And you can talk to your future sister-in-law about what kind of furniture she wants. We'll arrange it for her. If she doesn't want to use it, we'll have to redo it."
Xu Ruyun glanced at her second brother. Her second brother always asked what others were doing. Her second brother was about to get married, so he still had to do those things by himself.
After Brother Xu and his wife looked at the house, Sister Xu wanted to move in. She didn't want to live with her parents-in-law. Sister Xu pulled Brother Xu's clothes and asked why Mother Xu bought a house for Brother Xu and completed the formalities without telling them.
When the group returned to the Xu family, Mrs. Xu saw that Brother Xu was like a wooden stick. She said, "Mom, why don't you let my second brother get married at home and we move over. He doesn't have any children yet, so you will have to help him take care of the children. He will live here..."
"Brother can't live here." Xu Ruyun interrupted Sister-in-law Xu, "Sister-in-law, Brother and the future sister-in-law have already agreed that the family will buy another house and they will live outside. Now, you say you will live there, isn't this kidding me? The future sister-in-law will never agree to it."
"Let your second brother discuss it with her." Mrs. Xu said, "It would be great if they could live at home. Mom and Dad can help them take care of the children in the future."
"Mom and Dad can also help you take care of the children." Xu Ruyun said.
"Our children are grown up, and they don't need parents to take care of them all the time." Mrs. Xu wanted to move in, "There are two rooms over there..."
"There are two rooms here for you to stay in. If second brother moves out, your children can stay in his room." Xu Ruyun said, "Sister-in-law, don't say it's unfair. Some people went to the countryside and never came back. Their families wouldn't accept them, so they couldn't register their household registration. Some people came back but had no place to live, so they had to go out and find a place on their own. You guys are lucky to have a place to live, so don't try to take second brother's house."
Xu Ruyun set up a stall to make money, and her family still needed to rely on her, so she dared to say these words. If it were in her previous life, Xu Ruyun would not dare to say these words. Without money, relying on men, married girls have no say, even if they are not married, they have no say.
Mrs. Xu wanted her husband to say a few words, but Brother Xu didn't say anything because he felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
"Speak." Mrs. Xu was anxious.
"Sister-in-law, you live with mom and dad. They will give this house to you in the future. Dad still has a job and hasn't retired yet." Xu Ruyun said, "In a word, you haven't suffered any loss."
Mrs. Xu thought about Mr. Xu's salary. Indeed, Mr. Xu had to come up with some money.
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Xu said, "Since you said so, can we still compete with the second brother?"
Second Brother Xu didn't say much. He just watched Xu Ruyun speak for him, which made him feel that his sister was even better.
The fight over the house next door was heard by others, and everyone was talking about the house over there.
When Su Xueqing returned to the Su family, she heard Su's mother talking there.
"There are many sons in the family and the house is not big enough, so we have to get another house." said Su's mother.
"Mom, has my eldest sister's bun shop been renovated?" Su Xueqing said, "When I passed by, I saw that the door was open, but my eldest sister and brother-in-law were not there."
"Let it air out." Su's mother said, "There's nothing valuable here, let's air it out for ten days or half a month first."
"Yeah." Su Xueqing said, "Second sister went back?"
"Go back." Su's mother said, "She also has to take care of her own children. We can't always ask her to help here. Her mother-in-law will have opinions."
After Su Xueqing left the Su family, she was going to the Ning family to find Ning Jiaxuan. But just as she arrived at the door of her residence, she saw Ning Jiaxuan waving at her. Ning Jiaxuan's face was much better, no longer red and swollen, so she came out.
"Jiaxuan." Su Xueqing hurried over. "I said I would come to see you later. Look, this is the grass jelly I brought from my mom. My mom made it herself, using grass. This is delicious. I'm going to bring it to you."
This was not a lie. Su's mother asked Su Xueqing to take some grass jelly away, and Su Xueqing thought of Ning Jiaxuan. The Ning family was not short of those things. Su Xueqing thought that the grass jelly made by her mother was delicious, so she could take more.
"Then I came at the right time." Ning Jiaxuan took Su Xueqing's hand.
"There are cooked red beans and taro balls in the refrigerator." Su Xueqing said, "It's just right for us to eat. By the way, did the doctor say that we can't eat these?"
"No, it's healed." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Look at my face and my arms, they're all healed. The bee poison is not strong, it will heal easily after some treatment."
"I found out late." Su Xueqing said.
"Of course you found out late. You and I are not conjoined twins. We don't stay together every day." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I went out to play and you were busy with your things. We didn't meet. If I didn't tell you and no one told you, how would you know? It's just a small matter, don't worry. Didn't you say you wanted to eat grass jelly? There should be honey at home. Add a little more honey."
"Okay, fine, you can add as much honey as you want." Su Xueqing said, "Let's go and eat together."
After entering the living room, Su Xueqing handed the grass jelly to Aunt Li and asked her to deal with it. These grass jelly had been soaked in water when they were at Su's house. Su's mother originally planned to soak them in water for a while and then send them to Su Xueqing. Su Xueqing went there and just happened to bring them back.
Su Xueqing pulled Ning Jiaxuan to sit down, looked Ning Jiaxuan up and down, and only felt relieved after making sure that Ning Jiaxuan was really fine.
"It's just a bee sting, why don't you let me take a look?" Su Xueqing said, "Why do I have to wait a few days?"
"I'm not afraid that you will see my ugly appearance. You can tell your nephews and nieces later and they will all know." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"It's still early. We don't have any nephews or nieces yet." Su Xueqing's cheeks flushed slightly.
"It will happen sooner or later." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You can't tell your nephews and nieces that my face is swollen like a pig's head. They will have to call me Pig-head Auntie."
"No, no." Su Xueqing said quickly, "Be careful next time you go to see the flowers."
"This is an accident. I won't be so unlucky next time." Ning Jiaxuan said, "It keeps happening to me. How is this possible?"
"Yes, it's unlikely, but we still have to be careful." Su Xueqing said.
"Architectural Design Institute, how's it going over there?" Ning Jiaxuan asked, "I heard someone died."
"It happened a few days ago." Su Xueqing said.
"I wasn't there, so I don't know." Ning Jiaxuan said, "By the time I found out, my face was stung by a bee, and I didn't dare to go out to see people. If someone took a photo of me and asked me to look at it more later, how much money would I have to spend to get the photo back? They wouldn't give me the photo just for money, they would definitely keep it and make fun of me."
"Uh...will it?" Su Xueqing asked puzzledly.
"Yes." Ning Jiaxuan nodded vigorously, "Some people just like to laugh at other people's jokes."
"Are you...are you in love?" Su Xueqing asked.
"No." Ning Jiaxuan said, "If I fall in love, I will definitely tell you. Why, do you want me to fall in love soon? I won't come to you later. Can you spend more time with my little brother?"
"No." Su Xueqing said.
"It's my little brother who has that idea." Ning Jiaxuan said, "Xueqing, let me tell you, my little brother..."
"Ning Jiaxuan!" As soon as Ning Yanjing came back, he heard Ning Jiaxuan talking about him again, "Do you still want to be stung by a bee?"
"Brother, why are you here?" Ning Jiaxuan asked.
"Xue Qing said she wanted to see you." Ning Yanjing said, "I'll come back early and go with her to see you."
"Brother, are you so worried about me? Xueqing wants to see me, and you still have to keep an eye on her." Ning Jiaxuan pouted, "Is there any brother like you?"
"Yes." Ning Yanjing answered. He looked at Su Xueqing and said, "Look, you don't need to go see her. Her face has healed and she can't wait to come out. In two days, she will be able to wander around again."
"I just want to see more of the world and broaden my horizons, not to waste time," said Ning Jiaxuan.
After a while, Aunt Li brought out two bowls of grass jelly. At first, Aunt Li didn't know that Ning Yanjing had returned. When she saw Ning Yanjing, she was about to ask to get another bowl.
Before Aunt Li could say anything, Ning Jiaxuan quickly placed one bowl in front of herself and another bowl in front of Su Xueqing.
"Brother, these are just these two bowls, no more!" Ning Jiaxuan said.
"..." Aunt Li didn't say anything when she heard this. The brother and sister were playing over there, so Aunt Li didn't say much. She simply went to the kitchen to prepare a bowl.
"It's okay." Ning Yanjing sat next to Su Xueqing. He picked up the grass jelly and the spoon. He scooped some grass jelly and put it to Su Xueqing's mouth.
"..." Ning Jiaxuan looked at this scene, and suddenly she felt that there was too much honey in the grass jelly, and it was too sweet. She should have just given her bowl of grass jelly to her brother instead of saying that she didn't have it. She was careless, careless.
Brother Xu took Yu Li to see the house, and Yu Li was very satisfied with the Xu family's move. Yu Li originally thought that she would have to wait for a while, and even thought that the Xu family would not be able to buy the house.
"This place is close to my parents. When we have children... my parents can help us." Second Brother Xu said, "My eldest brother and his wife wanted to live here, but I didn't let them."
Brother Xu deliberately said the last sentence to let Yu Li know that he valued her very much.
"My sister said that the house has been bought, and the betrothal money cannot be too small." Brother Xu said, "If the betrothal money is too small, you will lose face, and our family will lose face too. You said to give less, and we can't give too little. We can give 666, which means good luck."
"Your sister?" Yu Li had heard from Brother Xu that his sister made a lot of money setting up a stall, and that he and his eldest brother also relied on Xu Ruyun to set up their stalls.
"Yes, she did." Brother Xu said, "She paid part of the money for the house, so we don't have to pay it back. We didn't borrow any money to buy the house, it was all our own money. We're married now, so we don't have to pay it back hard."
Second Brother Xu was afraid that Yu Li would think that she would have a hard life after marrying into his family. But that was not necessary. Everything had been prepared at home and Yu Li did not need to suffer.
"You...can you date me?" Brother Xu mustered up his courage.
"Okay." Yu Li nodded. "After we get married, I'll be in charge of the family's money, okay?"
"Okay, okay." Brother Xu said quickly, "You can manage our family's money."
Brother Xu was as happy as a child. Yu Li thought that the Xu family could afford to buy a house and give 600 yuan as a gift, which showed that the Xu family still had some wealth. This made Yu Li quite satisfied. It was not like some families who had no money but had to pretend to be rich. Yu Li hated those who had no money but were picky about her. Those people just had a Nancheng hukou, so what was there to be proud of?
"Yes... By the way, there are also furniture. What kind do you like?" Brother Xu said, "We can find someone to make it custom. You don't have to worry about the money. We can do it well. We can do it well."
"The furniture here is old and needs to be redone." Yu Li nodded, "The living room should have a set of sofas, a refrigerator, a TV, and an electric fan. It would be best if they all existed."
Yu Li told Brother Xu what to put in the house and that the new house should look like a new house. Brother Xu didn't think Yu Li was asking too much. He just thought that Yu Li agreed to date him, so they had to decorate their little home and of course their home had to have those things.
"Will your parents think I'm asking for too much?" Yu Li asked Brother Xu.
"No, no." said Brother Xu.
"You know Su Xueqing, my classmate." Yu Li said, "She lives in a big house and got a lot of betrothal gifts. I didn't think about comparing myself with her. I just wanted us to have a warm little home, a small home. We don't compare ourselves with others, we just live our own lives well."
Yu Li said this, but in her heart she was thinking that she couldn't live too badly. If she did, she would be ridiculed by others, and she didn't want to be laughed at.
When Mrs. Xu heard Second Brother Xu telling Mother Xu what furniture they wanted to buy, she said to her husband in the room, "You want this, you want that, how much will it cost? This is going to empty our family's savings. When you married me, I didn't even ask for so many things."
