Chapter 331 Ran over without a word

Because it was Sunday, Su He got up late, at 8:30. When he woke up, he saw his eldest son looking in the mirror and fixing his hairstyle.

"Changan, are you going out?"

Her eldest son never dressed up before. He would just wash his face and brush his teeth in the morning. Now he has even styled his hair. What a development!

"Yes, Mom. I'm having dinner with my friends."

Gu Changan had already done his hair, took the car keys from the drawer, and prepared to go out.

Su He nodded, this friend should be a female friend.

"Go ahead, drive safely."

Children grow up and have their own lives, so it’s best for parents not to ask too many questions.

"Okay, Mom."

When Gu Changan drove to the place they had agreed on yesterday, he saw Guan Bolin already waiting there.

"Why are you here so early?" He got out of the car and walked over.

We agreed to meet at nine o'clock yesterday, but he left home at eight thirty. Now it's eight forty and she's already here.

Guan Bolin wore a red polka dot dress and high heels. Her hair was curled and draped over her shoulders. She looked very beautiful.

"No, I just got here too."

The two got in the car, and Guan Bolin said with a smile, "Doctor Gu, did you drive your father's car out here?"

Grandma Guan didn't tell her family about the number of cars in the Gu family.

So Guan Bolin didn't know and thought that Gu Changan was driving his father's car.

Gu Changan, "No, this is my car."

This time it was Guan Bolin's turn to be shocked. "Your car, did your parents buy it for you?"

Gu Changan smiled, "Of course it is. Otherwise, I can't afford it with my salary of several dozen yuan a month."

Guan Bolin, "How much do you doctors earn per month?"

"68 yuan. If you add the night shift allowance and other things, it might be more than 80 yuan."

His salary is not even as good as those employees in his mother's store. The store manager only makes 118 yuan a month, and his mother always gives benefits to the employees.

Guan Bolin listened and said, "Our salaries are similar. I get around 80 to 70 bucks a month."

"What do you do at the TV station?" Gu Changan asked.

Guan Bolin: "News anchor, don't you watch the news?"

Gu Changan was surprised, "You are so amazing, I watch it occasionally, not often, are you the host this year?"

"Yes, I was a newcomer last year and only started this year," said Guan Bolin.

Gu Changan, "That's right, because since I started working this year, I haven't watched TV. I'm busy every day."

Guan Bolin, "Are all doctors so busy?"

“Busy, busy and tired!”

"My work is OK, not that busy."

The two chatted about work for a while, and Guan Bolin said, "Dr. Gu, can you park at Xinjie for a while? I'll go down to buy something."

Gu Changan, "Oh, sure."

When they arrived at the place, Gu Changan followed Guan Bolin out of the car and saw the girl enter the halal restaurant run by his father.

Guan Bolin turned around and said to Gu Changan, "The spicy duck heads sold at Dr. Gu's brine shop are really, really delicious."

"You've never eaten it?"

"I guarantee you'll love it after trying it once."

It's also a coincidence that today is the weekend and the little girl Sui Sui is taken care of by her parents. Because the clerks in the brine shop are on vacation, Gu Jianhua came over to look after the shop himself today.

Then I saw my son bringing a girl in.

Gu Changan was upset. Why are all the things this girl likes from his company? Even when she goes out on a date, she can't escape from her family's circle.

Seeing that his son didn't say anything, Gu Jianhua also didn't say anything.

Guan Bolin didn't know anything. She pointed at the counter.

"Uncle, I want four spicy duck heads, two duck gizzards, two dried duck necks, and an ounce of lotus root slices."

"Uncle, please help me cut it all, thank you."

"Okay." Gu Jianhua took it and cut it.

While waiting for the food, Guan Bolin was still telling her how delicious the Changan Amway duck head was.

After Gu Jianhua finished cutting it, he took it out and Guan Bolin asked, "How much is it, uncle?"

Gu Jianhua shook his head, "No need to give it to me, I'll give it to you."

"Ah?" Guan Bolin was confused.

Gu Changan shook his head and said, "Well, this store is ours."

"My dad." Gu Changan pointed at Gu Jianhua.

Gu Jianhua: “……….”

Guan Bolin was shocked. "No, Dr. Gu, this halal shop is owned by your family?"

Gu Changan nodded, "Yeah."

Guan Bolin was confused, Gu Changan said to Gu Jianhua,

"Dad, we're leaving."

He pulled Guan Bolin out. He didn't expect that his father would be in the halal restaurant today. He was thinking that they would go to the ice-boiled lamb restaurant for dinner later, so his mother wouldn't be there, right?

When they got in the car, Guan Bolin came to her senses and muttered,

"Doctor Gu, I never thought this store was actually owned by your family."

"After this store opened, I bought spicy duck heads every few days. How come I never saw you?"

As for Dr. Gu's father, she had met him several times.

Gu Changan smiled, "I don't go to the store. I'm in the hospital every day. I don't have much time to rest, and I only have time to rest on weekends. In the past, I was in the hospital even on weekends."

Guan Bolin: "Okay."

Gu Changan, "Well, don't call me Doctor Gu when you are outside. Just call me by my name, Gu Changan."

It sounded strange to call Dr. Gu, and people around him thought he was taking the patient out for dinner.

"Okay, Chang'an." Guan Bolin blinked.

The two of them went to the ice-boiled lamb restaurant, but they didn't see Su He, but they saw Gu's second sister and her husband.

"Hey Changan, are you taking your girlfriend out for dinner?"

Second sister Gu came over to say hello.

Gu Changan, "Second Aunt, you are my friend"

Second Sister Gu gave Gu Changan a look and said, "I understand."

Gu Changan, "........" But what does his second aunt know?

"Aunt, are you guys taking a break today?"

After March, his second aunt and uncle pushed a cart to sell meat-stuffed steamed buns and cold noodles. The stall was doing quite well and they made a few hundred yuan a month.

Gu Erjie, "We are taking a break today."

They had been selling since March without a single day off, and in a few months they had earned several thousand yuan, so Gu's second sister and her husband rewarded themselves with a day off.

"Oh, I see."

Gu Erjie, "Your mother is at home, I'll be there in a while."

Gu Changan, "He should be here."

If she didn't come to the ice-boiled lamb restaurant, the old lady would just rest at home.

"Okay, okay, we've finished eating, you guys go ahead."

"OK."

Second Sister Gu looked at Changan's back and smiled, "This kid has a date, but he still refuses to admit it."

Second brother-in-law, "Changan is 24 years old, it's time to have a baby, Changyi's child is already two years old."

"That's true."

They went to the bar to settle the bill.

At present, Su He's relatives, whether from her natal family or her husband's family, are very self-conscious. When they come to her store to consume, she will never ask the waiter or the store manager to give them a free meal just because they are relatives. They always pay the bill like ordinary customers.

For example, at a restaurant selling boiled lamb, unless Su He's Gu Jianhua was in the restaurant, when he saw relatives coming over for dinner, he would go to the kitchen and send a few more plates of meat.

The rest of the time is treated as guests.

After all, they pay for other people's daughters and sons-in-law when they go out for dinner, let alone their ordinary relatives.

"The Jianhua Xiaohe hotpot restaurant must make a lot of money every month." The second brother-in-law chatted with the second sister Gu.

There were many customers in the store, with one table after another.

Sister Gu said, "It tastes good. You see, the mutton we stew at home is not as delicious as this one."

Second brother-in-law, "That's right. I don't know how it's made. I think it's just ice and lamb. There's nothing else. But it tastes good."

Gu Erjie, "We don't have any seasonings at home, sesame paste or anything like that."

There are dozens of condiments on the condiment table.

"I'm going to Xiao He's place. You can go back by yourself."

Sister Gu was about to ride her bike, and her husband asked, "Can I walk back?"

"I'll go with you, too."

Sister Gu was unwilling, "We women are just chatting about something, what are you doing there?"

She wants to go to visit her in-laws with her brother and sister-in-law, how can she let him go?

The second brother-in-law was helpless, "Oh, you send it to the salted vegetable shop, I will buy some spicy duck heads back."

Originally, my second brother-in-law was planning to buy two spicy duck heads, but seeing Gu Jianhua in the store, the two of them cut some duck heads, duck necks, etc. and had a drink.

Second sister Gu came to the tube building to find Su He. She wanted to complain to her younger brother and sister-in-law about her parents-in-law. They really pissed her off.

The weather outside was quite hot. Su He was lazy, so he didn't go out this year. He stayed at home, eating fruits, watching TV and reading books.

"Hey, second sister, why are you here? You didn't set up the stall today?"

Sister Gu fanned herself and said, "I'm going to take a rest today."

"Your house is so cool."

Su He, "I turned on the fan early in the morning."

"Come here, second sister, have some watermelon. It's chilled." Su He took a piece of watermelon for second sister Gu.

Sister Gu took it with a smile and said, "I just ate a few pieces at the hot pot restaurant."

"Did you go to eat shabu-shabu with your brother-in-law?"

Gu Erjie, "I'm going to cook lamb on ice. Sister-in-law, your store must make a lot of money every month. There are so many people, one table after another!"

Su He smiled, "Not bad, not a loss."

"You are the one who has business sense. Your brother-in-law and I only do small trading, but we can't do big trading." Second Sister Gu stood in front of the fan.

After riding a bicycle all the way, she was sweating profusely.

Su He, "Oh, second sister, don't underestimate yourself. Who are you? You are the woman who raised two college students!"

"Look at Mingyue Chunqing Xiaomei and the Red Army. Which one of them is not doing well now? Second sister, in a rural family like ours, how many people like yours can there be?"

“Hardly.”

Second sister Gu was embarrassed by the compliment, "Oh, sister-in-law, half of the success of the four of them today is due to you."

"Of course if you hadn't persuaded your children to study, they wouldn't be able to get into college now."

Su He said, "Second sister, you can't say that. I was the one who advised you, but if you, as a mother, don't agree, what's the point of me saying more?"

"It's still you who's responsible."

Second Sister Gu liked to hear this. She said, "My original thought was that if my husband and I could afford to support our children, we would let them study. If they studied well, we would support them until they graduated from college. If they did not study well, we would support them until they graduated from junior high school, so that they would not be illiterate."

Su He, "Yes, second sister, in our village, there were few people who thought like you at that time, or even no one."

"Besides, you two don't have to go out and start a business now. Your children give you several hundred yuan every month. You two are still making money by going out and starting a business."

"We earn quite a bit every month. You and your husband are better than most people in the city, not to mention the people in the village."

Su He was not complimenting Second Sister Gu by saying this. She really thought so. Children like Second Sister Gu and her husband have started their own families and they still give them a lot of living allowance every month.

There are four people, and each of them is given 200 yuan a month. Four children, and a monthly income of 800 yuan. 800 yuan a month is enough to take care of my second sister and brother-in-law.

However, the couple did not wait for their children to support them. They went out to set up a stall and sell snacks.

Hearing this, Second Sister Gu laughed and said, "Your brother-in-law and I were thinking, we are both able to move around now, in our early fifties, why should we stay at home and wait for our children to support us?"

"I just tried a small business, and I didn't expect the profit to be quite good."

"But, sister-in-law, let me tell you something. There is a big difference between having your own money and having it given to you by others."

It's not that her children give them a bad look when they give them money every month; that's not the case. But the two of them just feel comfortable and at ease spending the money they earn every month.

If they hadn’t started a business before, the couple wouldn’t have dared to spend their pension on eating hot pot.

The two of them had hot pot this morning and it cost them 40 yuan.

Forty yuan was equivalent to a month's salary at the factory, and they finished it in one meal.

Su He listened to what Second Sister Gu said and said, "Yes, that's for sure. Money is not as secure in your own hands as in anyone else's."

If your parents have money, you still have to ask them for money. If your partner has money, you also have to ask him/her for money. Let alone when you are old, it will be even worse if you don’t have any money and have to ask your children for money every now and then.

After all, she has her own money. She and Gu Jianhua have so much assets now. To put it bluntly, when they are old, they can give more property to the children who are filial. That's all fine.

"That's not the case."

The two chatted for a while, and Sister Gu sighed as if she had thought of something.

Su He, "What's wrong, second sister?"

Second Sister Gu waved her hands, "Don't mention it. I get angry every time I think about it. My chest feels tight."

"What's up?"

"Your brother-in-law's mother and my parents-in-law want to come to Beijing to retire!"

Su He, "What? They want to come to Beijing? Who will take care of them when they come? Whose house will they stay at?"

Second sister Gu said, "That's right. I said we also live in Xiaomei's house. We don't even have a house of our own."

"Do you know what the old lady said?"

"What did you say?"

"The old lady said, 'My son and daughter-in-law are all in Beijing, my four grandchildren are all in Beijing, there is no room for the two of us old people!'"

"That's what I said."

Su He, "Then, second sister, did you agree?"

Gu Erjie, "I promised nothing. Damn it. She didn't even let me eat an egg during my confinement. When your brother-in-law and I separated, I didn't get anything."

"This family property was earned step by step by the two of us."

"You want me to take care of you when you're old? No way!"

"If they dare to come, I will send them back. It has nothing to do with others scolding me!"

The vengeance of confinement will never be forgotten.

When Second Sister Gu thought about the injustice she had suffered at that time, she wanted to strangle her mother-in-law to death, let alone support her in her old age.

Su He, "What does the second brother-in-law mean?"

Gu Erjie, "Your second brother-in-law didn't want us to come either. We were afraid of the old couple, so we came here without saying a word."
