In the spacious restaurant, the uncle and nephew enjoyed their meal and drinks to their heart's content.
After listening to Su Xiaolong's chatter, Su Qing remained silent, with red eyes.
He could probably understand the depression that Uncle Xiaolong had been holding in his heart all these years.
He must be worried because Su Qing has never achieved anything.
It’s a bit embarrassing to talk about what Uncle Xiaolong said.
At that time, Su Qing had just left school and was a rookie who had just stepped out of the ivory tower.
After looking for a job for a long time, I finally got a job in an online media company.
The salary is not high, only 4,200 yuan per month, but it provides food and accommodation, and also includes five insurances and one fund.
The first three months were normal. I went to get off work from nine to five every day and there was no apparent problem.
In the fourth month, the manager gathered all the employees and said to them: "The company is doing well. To reward everyone, we are rewarding all employees with a seven-day trip to Shuangbanna. The company will cover all expenses."
After hearing this, Su Qing was extremely excited.
He posted the good news on his WeChat Moments, packed his bags, and prepared to participate in the company's team-building activities.
When Su Xiaolong saw the message he posted on WeChat Moments, he felt something was wrong.
The salary is average, there is no overtime, and the company rewards employees with a seven-day trip to Shuangbanna?
Is there such a generous boss in the world?
The naive Su Qing believed it, but the experienced Su Xiaolong didn't.
He called to persuade her, but Su Qing refused to listen.
In desperation, Su Xiaolong had to resort to a dirty trick.
He said he had an incurable disease and tricked Su Qing back to his hometown Linjiang.
As a result, Su Qing missed the opportunity for the company's group tour.
The rest is very simple.
When Su Qing returned to the company, he found that more than 50 colleagues had never returned and even the company had been deregistered.
Seeing that Uncle Xiaolong's words came true, Su Qing was so scared that she packed up her bedding and returned to her hometown in Linjiang overnight.
After returning, Su Qing worked in many industries, but never left Linjiang County.
The tricks in big cities are too complicated. City people have no moral principles and they come to deceive and attack a young man like him!
Home is still safer.
Later, by chance, he entered the online literature circle and wrote for two and a half years.
"Whoosh whoosh"
After Su Qing finished reminiscing, she realized that Su Xiaolong had fallen asleep on the table, snoring loudly.
Uncle Xiaolong was sent to the guest room, the air conditioner was turned to the sleep mode of 26 degrees, and a thin blanket was covered for him.
Su Qing returned to the restaurant and began to clean up the mess, clear the table, wash the dishes, sweep and mop the floor.
After cleaning, I organized the daily necessities I bought in the afternoon and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Afterwards, Su Qing lay on the sofa and opened the chat group: "Good evening, everyone. I've had dinner and taken a shower, and am sitting in the living room enjoying the air conditioning."
"picture.jpeg."
He made a scissors hand gesture, revealing eight neat and white teeth, and the picture froze.
Send your selfie to the group and say hello to the group members.
"Tsk tsk, you are still comfortable, Brother Su."
"I just arrived in a small county town next door and plan to stay overnight."
"picture.jpeg."
Xiao Yichen's selfie looks like he is tired and exhausted from the journey.
The blazer became wrinkled and the hair was a mess.
Where is there any trace of the elite returnees from before?
Really like refugees! "Haha, I envy you guys for traveling through time."
Seeing the miserable look on his face, Su Qing smiled brightly, extremely happy.
"I just chopped wood and fetched water, and I can only eat two steamed buns a day. I am dumbfounded."
"Fuck, this life is unbearable!"
Looking at Su Qing's leisurely appearance, and then looking at herself, Xu Huaping collapsed.
As for her, not only was she exhausted, but she also couldn't even eat enough!
"Come on, you are going to be the queen's woman, so this little difficulty is nothing."
Su Qing teased, "Miss, I'm optimistic about you."
Seeing that you are not doing well, I feel relieved.
"Forget it!"
"I've been here for four days. I've been working like a cow or a horse every day. I'm exhausted for four whole days."
"I get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, eat worse than pigs, and work harder than cows."
"Forget about being the queen. I haven't even seen Yinzhen."
"What the fuck!"
Speaking of this, Xu Huaping was filled with anger.
Before traveling through time, she had read many novels oriented towards women and was very interested in traveling through time to the Qing Dynasty.
The heroines traveled back to the Qing Dynasty, and then had a wonderful encounter with the hero, thus beginning a love affair that spanned a thousand years.
The male protagonist is usually a prince such as Huang Taiji, Dorgon, Fulin, or Yinzhen.
During this period, either the original wife or the mistress would interfere, making the relationship between the two parties even deeper.
Everything is beautiful, poetic and picturesque, and they love each other until old age.
It would be even better if there were some plots where the heroine was giving orders about the country or there were harem struggles.
Anyway, it's usually a happy ending.
Therefore, when Xu Huaping, who had just traveled through time, learned that she had traveled to Prince Yong's Palace during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, she was overjoyed on the spot.
Just think about it, from a maid in a palace, she climbed up to the dragon bed step by step, and transformed herself into a royal concubine, or even the future queen.
What an inspiring, heart-wrenching, and moving story this is! "Mmmm, novels are all lies, they are all made up by online writers!"
Reality gave Xu Huaping a heavy blow, waking her up from her fantasy.
In the feudal era, the hierarchy was strict and one's fate was determined by one's birth.
There is an insurmountable class gap between the Han and Manchu people.
It was pure dreaming for a Han Chinese slave like her to climb onto the dragon bed! After all, she was not even qualified to see Yinzhen, let alone anything else.
According to the Qing Dynasty's clan government's management regulations for royal children, the Han slaves in the government had the lowest status and were slaves for generations.
There is no possibility of ever escaping from slavery, nor is there any possibility of rising to the top and becoming a phoenix.
Only those born into the Eight Banners of the Manchus have the opportunity to change their destiny.
"Haha, only you would be so foolish as to believe that you can enjoy the treatment of a heroine after traveling through time."
"So, now you've faced reality?"
Su Qing shook her head, feeling a little reluctant to hit her.
Traveling back to the ancient world is not as comfortable as modern society.
Although the money I earned was not much, at least I could eat and drink enough.
As long as you work hard enough and don't get married, supporting yourself is not a problem at all.
"So, it does make sense that those who cross the Qing Dynasty will rebel."
Seeing this, Xie Yuanshan, who had been silent, couldn't help but say something.
"Women are love-brained, they deserve it!"
"Wake up, old aunt, and stop having such unrealistic dreams."
Xiao Yichen also said this.
"Stop talking, I regret it!"
"God of time travel, I don't want to travel through time anymore, please take me back."
Xu Huaping regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
“Ding ding ding”
Su Qing was about to say something when he suddenly heard a phone ringing in the room.
Uncle Xiaolong’s phone is ringing?
