Chapter 109 Thermos Cup
That night, Su Xiaojuan went to the school gate in person to pick up Su Xia and take her home.
The evening study session for senior high school students ended at 10 o'clock. Fortunately, there were many hot pot restaurants in Jiangcheng. Even if the big ones were not open all night, they would be open until 2 or 3 in the morning, which did not hinder the mother and daughter from getting a midnight snack.
Su Xiaojuan is smart and doesn't stick to her own opinions.
It is important for high school students to get enough sleep, but if this kind of auspicious day that needs to be celebrated is easily overturned, her daughter's morale will also be easily overturned.
There are plenty of opportunities to sleep, so one day won’t be a big deal.
If she doesn’t reward her daughter who is so motivated, who should she give it to?
The private room was reserved at noon. The spicy pot was boiling with fragrant duck blood, and the table was filled with the little girl's favorite meat and mushrooms. As soon as Su Xia sat down, a bowl of milk shaved ice with peaks of steam was placed in front of her.
Add in the toppings and pile the diced strawberries into a small hill.
Ever since Su Xia went on a hunger strike to lose weight, she had starved herself to the point of having menstrual pains. Whenever the two of them went out to eat together, Su Xiaojuan always accompanied her to drink room temperature drinks. This time, it was considered a general amnesty.
To her surprise, after several rounds of clinking glasses, Su Xia only took a few sips of her shaved ice.
"I don't care about you today."
Su Xiaojuan picked up two ring rolls with chopsticks for her and said, "When you were not allowed to touch cold drinks, you secretly bought milk tea with your uncle every day. Now you are so reserved."
Su Xia ate the food her mother brought her, suppressing her guilt. "...Room temperature is fine. It won't hurt my stomach. I've learned to be self-disciplined now."
Su Xiaojuan said "Oh" and glanced at her twice, it was time to eat the hot pot.
Su Xia didn't dare to look at her, and secretly touched her belly under the table with one hand.
God knows how much ice cream she ate today.
When Zhang Yue sent her the bag of takeout food, she felt secretly sweet in her heart for a while, but then she felt that she had really done a great harm to others. Xu Jiaojiao had probably just paid the deposit for her cochlear implant, and Xu Jiqing had spent another unnecessary amount of money.
How does the saying go, the wool comes from the sheep.
Xu Jiqing was giving her extra lessons.
Su Xia gave money, Su Xia spent it, and wanted to take it home after parting.
There were about ten ice creams, and she ate two of them during lunch break. Then she suddenly had an idea and poured out all the water in the thermos, tore open the ice cream packaging and stuffed three more into it.
There was really no other way, so I gave the rest to the girls I knew in the class.
For an entire afternoon, passersby passing by the door of Class 4 could only see that Su Xia, a popular candidate for school beauty, was keen on health preservation and would stand in the corridor drinking hot water with a thermos during breaks.
He Miao, the only person in the know, was stunned. "There's so much homework today... Just the two papers Teacher Ding handed out will take me at least half a night study session. Your Majesty, are you still going to come out of the bathroom tonight?"
The marble windowsill was warm in the afternoon sun.
Su Xia draped her arms lazily over it, stretched them out and twisted her waist, basking in the sun to dispel the cold. "I'm feeling fine now, I don't feel a thing at all."
That's what I said.
Now sitting in the hot pot restaurant, Su Xia, who "felt nothing at all", finally declared surrender.
My lower abdomen felt cool and droopy, and I felt like my period was about to come.
This is the only time, and it won’t happen again.
If she didn't want to eat the shaved ice, then she didn't. Su Xiaojuan wasn't in the mood at all. She asked her, "Is there anything you want this time? You did so well in the exam secretly, so you must be rewarded."
Su Xia blinked, "Is there a limit?"
Su Xiaojuan waved her hand without finishing her beer.
The profits from land speculation are compounded, and whether or not the company will go public is put aside for now. The company is full of energy for transformation and is moving forward every day.
She is now rich and powerful, “Your mother is rich, just mention it.”
What expensive things can a girl of seventeen or eighteen want? The most she can want is a house and a car.
She had already planned for the house, and the car would only wait until Su Xia came of age.
Su Xiaojuan has worked her way up from the grassroots. She believes more in her own efforts than in gods and fate, and she values the kindness of noble people very much.
She saw clearly that the company's current good momentum and the extra money allowed her to think carefully about the future instead of just building a factory to expand production were all because of the wasteland Su Xia insisted on her buying years ago.
The little benefactor given by God is her precious daughter, so what’s wrong with pampering her a little more?
Outside the window, there are lights from thousands of houses on the river bank, and steam is rising from the private rooms of the hot pot restaurant.
Su Xia was sitting there wearing the summer uniform of No. 1 Middle School, a white shirt and a gray plaid skirt. She looked well-behaved and pretty, and she looked lovable no matter how you looked at her.
As long as her daughter asks, she won't shake her head immediately, even if she wants to travel to Mars.
As Su Xiaojuan was thinking this, someone suddenly hugged her arm.
The little girl with a ponytail leaned forward affectionately, her cheek pressed against her shoulder, rubbing softly. "Then I hope I can have breakfast with my mother every day and see you every day."
"You've been out for a long time this time. I missed you so much."
She mumbled, "Every day before we hang up the video call, I ask you, and you always say it will be done soon."
Su Xiaojuan herself is not a person who likes to show weakness, and she doesn't know where Su Xia learned this character of treating acting like a spoiled child as a meal and drink water.
She felt pleased in her heart, but couldn't show it on her face. She pinched her face in mock anger and said, "Things in the business world change every day. If I could reply, I would have replied a long time ago. Do you think I'm not tired?"
"With the temperature in Cotton Garden right now, an egg you crack on the street will be fried in no time. And I have to accompany the boss from Hong Kong from morning till night."
At this point, she finally remembered something important that she had forgotten all night. She slapped her head and said, "His child said he will go to your No. 1 Middle School for an exchange next week. He will probably stay for a month or two."
Su Xia didn't react, "Huh?"
"Come with me to visit Mr. Liang from the cotton mill. He has a son who's your age. He's a senior in high school in Hong Kong this year. He said he's already received an acceptance letter from an Ivy League school, so he's just sitting around doing nothing."
"Mr. Liang is quite interested in the business environment in Jiangcheng. He asked a few more questions about his son and plans to bring his son here this semester to experience high school life in mainland China."
"He showed me his photo. He's clean and friendly, a sunny and handsome boy." Su Xiaojuan paused and glanced at her seriously. "I'm not asking you to fall in love too early."
"I can't do something like giving my daughter away in exchange for a favor."
"I told him that my daughter was busy with the college entrance exams and had no time to entertain anyone. The Hong Kong guy said it was okay, that the wild boy was used to free range, and that he just wanted to let you know that there was such a person. If you see him next time at school, and he suddenly rushes up to say hello to you, don't scare him."
It’s a port city and the person’s surname is Liang.
Su Xia had a rather outrageous guess in her mind, so she asked, "What's his son's name?"
