Chapter 188: The Day His Eldest Brother Sacrificed
Su Wan drove back to the county, went to Grandma Zhao's house to pack her things, and then went to Yangcheng Airport.
Guangzhou Airport was not as big and luxurious as it is in later generations. It was still relatively dilapidated at that time. There were not many people coming and going, and most of the people who came to take the plane were public officials.
She went to buy the plane ticket and handed over the letter of introduction.
Without even looking up, the ticket seller asked, "Have you got the letter of introduction for purchasing the plane ticket?"
Su Wan was stunned for a moment, then said, "It was a man named Comrade Xu Ruichen who told me that I could buy a plane ticket if I came directly here."
The ticket seller said calmly, "We haven't received any calls..."
Before she could finish her words, a man in a black suit suddenly approached and said to the ticket seller, "Director Xu has instructed that if there's a comrade named Su Wan from Su Province who wants to buy a plane ticket, she should be registered. She's Director Xu's guest."
The ticket seller, who had a calm expression just now, seemed to realize something. He took a look at the letter of introduction, and a smile instantly appeared on his cold face.
"Comrade Su Wan, I didn't know you were Director Xu's guest. I'll get you a ticket now."
The airport was not fully open for ticket purchases at this time, and most people still needed a certificate issued by their employer. However, if an acquaintance said hello, they would still let them through.
Tickets in the 1980s were handwritten, and boarding was not like in later generations, where they had to walk to board the plane.
Su Wan bought a plane ticket from Guangzhou Airport to Beijing Airport, which cost fifty-three yuan.
The flight was scheduled for two hours later, so she parked her car in the parking lot, waited at the airport for a while, had lunch at the airport, and bought some local specialties before boarding the plane.
There was no broadcasting sound, and when boarding the plane, the staff at the airport were shouting at the top of their lungs.
This experience is indeed very novel.
Su Wan boarded the plane carrying a lot of bags.
I was sitting on the plane for just a short while when it took off.
In more than two hours, the plane flew from Guangzhou to Beijing.
As soon as she got off the plane and walked out of the exit, a small figure suddenly ran over and threw herself into her arms.
"elder sister……"
Su Wan looked at Xiao Chengyi who was holding her in surprise, "Xiao Chengyi, why are you here?"
"My uncle said my sister would arrive at the airport this afternoon, so I pestered him to pick her up. I wanted to see her sooner."
Little Chengyi raised his eyes and looked at Su Wan with his watery eyes, which made her unable to help but rub his cheek.
Wow……
The little baby’s face is so tender, so nice to pinch!
It's bouncy and feels great.
"Brother Xu!"
Su Wan politely called out to Xu Ruichen who was standing behind Xiao Chengyi, "I'm so sorry to bother you. I asked you to take some time off and pick me up at the airport."
"I just happened to be on vacation today. Cheng Yi missed you, so I had no choice but to come here with you."
Xu Ruichen shrugged, a little helpless. "But it doesn't matter. I'm free anyway. You can stay at my house tonight. The guest room is ready."
Su Wan, who originally wanted to go to the guesthouse, couldn't refuse and could only nod.
He carried all the bags in her hands over to her, and little Chengyi held Su Wan's hand, acting coquettishly all the way.
When I arrived at Xu's house, Qian Muxue was already waiting there.
Seeing Su Wan coming, he immediately greeted her warmly.
"Wanwan is here. Xiaofang has prepared your favorite meal. If you are not busy this time, you can stay at home for two more days. Chengyi misses you every day and can't wait to go to Guangdong Province to find you."
Su Wan was very embarrassed, "Thank you, Auntie, for bothering you every time I come here."
"What's there to bother you about? I don't feel disturbed at all. My house is so quiet and lonely, and I just wish there were two more people at home to talk to me, so I wouldn't be bored at home alone."
"Oh, Auntie, these are the dried seafood and sun-dried shrimp I bought in Guangdong Province. You can use them in soup or eat them dry. They taste great."
Qian Muxue opened the package directly and looked at the carefully selected prawns, each of which was plump and tasted salty and fragrant. She knew that they were top-quality prawns.
She took one and took a bite, then said, "It tastes good. The shrimp are well chosen. You really know how to choose."
Not to be outdone, Xiao Chengyi took a shrimp and took a bite. It was salty and fragrant and very delicious.
Then he ate several of them.
Seeing how happily they were eating, Xu Ruichen also took one to try.
It was the same as what he had eaten in Pengcheng Special Economic Zone. He had brought some back from Pengcheng earlier, but he didn’t see his little nephew being so enthusiastic about it.
After placing everything on the table, Su Wan said, "We came here in a hurry and didn't prepare anything."
"You kid, you brought so many things and you still say you didn't prepare anything. We are not strangers, there is no need to be so polite."
Qian Muxue doesn’t want anything at all!
Given the Xu family's current power, they don't lack those things at all. What she likes is Su Wan as a person.
There are really not many young people as smart as her, and she really likes him.
It’s just a pity that she got married too early. Otherwise, she would definitely introduce her to a good job and let her work in Beijing so that she could see her all the time.
It would also allow Cheng Yi to see his savior more often, which would make his temperament more lively.
Pulling Su Wan to sit down, Qian Muxue talked about many changes in Xiao Chengyi.
Her grandson, who used to be quiet, now chatters every day, which makes her feel relieved.
She was really afraid that her grandson would become autistic, and she would not be able to go down to see her son and daughter-in-law even a hundred years later.
Little Chengyi was listening beside her without interrupting her.
He is actually a very smart child. He knows that his grandmother is afraid that he will become as quiet as before, but he is much better now. He just misses his sister very much when he is free.
When talking about Xiao Chengyi's changes, Qian Muxue choked up several times.
"I really didn't expect Chengyi to become so good now. Wanwan, you don't know that you are not only our family's savior, but also our Chengyi's spiritual mentor. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be as cheerful as he is now."
"Auntie, little Cheng Yi is very cute, I like him very much, and being able to help him is a fate between us, but you have thanked me several times, and I would feel embarrassed if you thanked me like this again."
Qian Muxue sniffed and nodded yes.
When she went to the kitchen, Xu Ruichen apologized to Su Wan, "I'm sorry. My eldest brother sacrificed his life a few days ago. My mother has been in a bad mood recently. She may have missed my brother and sister-in-law too much, and felt guilty towards Cheng Yi. That's why she kept talking to you. She didn't mean any other thing."
