As for Li Xiang, he has indeed been in contact with Liu Tao during this period. The young man is neither hot nor cold, and there is nothing to complain about in either family or work. Liu's mother originally wanted to make a move, but the moment she saw Su Jianshan's down-and-out look, she immediately became highly alert and even blurted out something about marriage.
Just as she expected, Su Jianshan looked uneasy, and even his movements were unnatural: "Then... I wish you happiness."
Although Xue Ya didn't understand what was happening, she could see with her own eyes that her uncle was in a low mood. Subconsciously, she hugged him tighter. Su Jianshan hugged her back tightly, lowered his head in a hurry, and left as if he was escaping.
Liu Tao and her mother were left standing there, staring at each other. Liu Tao's face turned pale, "Mom, why didn't I know I was going to marry Li Xiang?! Don't you and Dad need to investigate further?!"
"The young man is hardworking, has a stable job, and a harmonious and normal family. He is a thousand times better than some people." Liu's mother put her arm around her daughter's shoulders and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "We girls are destined to be like rapeseeds. Marriage is the second choice and it is very important.
Look at Xiao Su, he's almost 27 this year, he's accomplished nothing, his clothes are tattered, with his appearance, it's a question whether he can take you out to eat often, mom is doing this for your own good, if you don't make a decision, you'll suffer the consequences, whoever said love can be eaten, they've read too many sour poems. "
"..."
Even though Liu Tao was unwilling to admit it, she knew in her heart that what her mother said was the truth. The kind of life she wanted was something Su Jianshan would never be able to give her in his lifetime, and she was destined to regret it.
…
The discomfort only lasted for a moment, and Su Jianshan's depression quickly disappeared when the stir-fried pork noodles were served. With the arrival of his sister, he had spent all his money. When the big pork elbow with rich sauce flavor was served on the table, Xue Ya's eyes widened.
Su Jianshan quickly picked out a piece of greasy lean meat for the little guy, then picked out a piece of fat and lean meat for his sister. Finally, he picked up the greasy skin and gobbled it up with noodles.
Men who do heavy work can eat more than usual, and Su Jianshan looks visibly stronger.
Su Niannian dipped some noodle soup into the soup and let Fubao have a taste. The little guy was so excited that he danced with joy, and it was obvious that he had a special liking for the delicious noodle soup. After a while, Su Jianshan burped and reached out to hug Fubao.
"Sister, you eat, I'll tease him."
Fubao threw himself on his uncle babbling. Su Niannian had lost her appetite long ago. She ate two chopsticks of food but couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Brother, did you run into Liu Tao just now?"
"yes."
Su Jianshan answered readily. Seeing Su Niannian's surprised expression, he quickly added, "I did run into her and her mother. Liu Tao is getting married. Tell grandma to relax. She and I will never have any contact again. By the way, this is this month's salary. Please keep it for me. I don't need it normally."
Su Jianshan took out a few crumpled big unity bills and some scattered bills from his pocket. They were covered with dust, dirt, and sweat. They were all earned by his hard work. It can be seen that Su Jianshan is now devoted to making money. The salary he handed in is very different from when he was in the army. Su Niannian's heart was burning. She said sullenly, "Okay, I'll keep it for you. You can use it to get married in the future."
She spoke in a low voice, and Su Jianshan, who was teasing Fubao, didn't hear it at all.
Su Niannian quickly stood up and raised her voice, "Brother! I will save money for you to get married."
Su Jianshan looked up at her, subconsciously staring at her lips. After a while, he nodded happily. Su Niannian didn't take this little episode to heart. When she went to the supply and marketing cooperative, she bought two sets of spare shirts for Su Jianshan. Due to time constraints, she did not go back to the family compound to visit Wang Guifen. The brother and sister agreed on the next time they met and walked to the station.
Su Niannian remained silent and followed Su Jianshan.
Finally, when she saw the tear on the other person's cloth shoes, Su Niannian seriously suggested: "Brother, do you want to learn how to ride a bicycle?"
"What?!"
"You live in the mine now. Zhaodi and the others will move to the staff dormitory sooner or later. You can't rely on your legs to go back and forth. When you save enough salary, you can buy a bicycle first, so that it will be convenient for you to go back and forth to the staff dormitory. You often don't go home for dinner, and grandma always misses you..."
There is no man who doesn't love cars, but buying that thing not only costs more than a hundred yuan, but also requires receipts. Su Jianshan hesitated for a moment and said in a dilemma: "Then I'll ask Master Ding to think of a way. When I have a car, I can pick you up or give it to you. I'm a miner, so there's no need."
Su Niannian helped her brother straighten his clothes and said with a smile, "Brother, whether it's buying a car or a house in the future, what's yours is yours. It's all your wealth. Although you're down and out today, you won't be down and out forever. People who work hard can never be too bad. You just work hard. As for the bills, leave it to me and your brother-in-law, okay?!"
Su Jianshan's heart became hot: "Okay!"
As if he had opened a conversation box, Su Jianshan talked incessantly about work while waiting for the bus at the station. He talked about how fast and skillful he was when blasting the mine, how Master Ding took him to the provincial capital for exchanges and study, and how Chairman Guo admired him very much. When he talked about these things, Su Niannian could see that there was light in the other person's eyes.
If Su Niannian had a hope of leaving Ning County, then her only regret might be Su Jianshan. She couldn't leave her brother here without worry. In the end, she chose to test it cautiously.
"Brother, then according to Master Ding's idea, in the future... in the future, do you want to develop in the imperial capital?! What I mean is that Gu Zhiye and I can't stay in Ning County forever, and you may not be able to stay in one place forever. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. Do you want to go to the imperial capital?!"
Gao Shanyue will never come back. As a witness to this ill-fated relationship, Su Niannian has to push Su Jianshan forward, even for the sake of the child.
Su Jianshan was unusually silent.
The car was right in front of them, but he still didn't give an answer. Su Niannian was holding Fubao and holding Xue Ya's hand as they stood on the side of the road. Seeing her brother's silence, she felt a little disappointed and felt that it was not worth it for Shan Yue. She pushed her brother into the car with a cold eye.
Xue Ya looked at her, then at Su Jianshan.
Whispering goodbye.
Su Jianshan pursed his lips and gave the fare to the ticket seller.
He stood in front of the car door for a while, and said in a serious and solemn tone: "If there comes a day like that, I hope I can go there on my own. Nian Nian, I'm not a child anymore, I will walk this road by myself..."
