Ask Jiang Lin?
Don't joke!
Who knows if he will hide it?
Su Zeming couldn't afford to gamble at all. He said with a sullen face: "If you ask him, will he tell you everything? Then tell me what he is doing now."
"He's doing business. He once mentioned selling beef and mutton." Su Yuhe glanced at Su Zeming. "The mutton you ate at Jiang Lin last time was bought from someone by him, and then sold out."
Su Yuhe said sweetly: "He also carried half a sheep home. He ate so many meals that I gained weight."
Su Zeming snorted coldly: "Do you think reselling beef and mutton is a small matter? He also trades medicinal herbs and resells cigarette tickets. Some time ago, during the Chinese New Year, he even inquired about big items like televisions..."
The more Su Zeming spoke, the more he frowned. Jiang Lin was so bold!
Su Yuhe approached Tan Lan and called out "Mom." "Brother Lin is so good to me. He often comes to help me with the chores. I don't have many hot meals at the educated youth camp, so Brother Lin cooks for me at home. There are often meat dishes on the table. Moreover, he knows I love to eat fruit, so he buys it when he sees any outside. If there isn't any, he goes into the mountains to pick wild fruit for me..."
Tan Lan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "It sounds good for you. Anyway, your father didn't go to the mountains to pick wild fruits for me before."
Su Zeming: “…”
Su Yuhe: "Also, Brother Lin gave me all his money, so whatever I say is what I am."
Tan Lan lifted a strand of hair behind Su Yuhe's ear and looked at her gently: "That should be a good young man."
Su Yuhe lowered her voice: "Mom, let me tell you, he's very handsome! He's over 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders and very strong abdominal muscles on his narrow waist..."
Tan Lan blinked. Su Zeming sounded unhappy. He had seen Jiang Lin before, and he was a rough country boy.
wrong!
Su Zeming glanced at Su Yuhe: "How do you know his abs are like that? What did he do to you? This landlord's son! I should have shot him in the first place!"
Su Yuhe quickly explained: "No, we didn't do anything. We just kissed, it's not what you think, Dad."
Just a kiss...
Su Zeming was heartbroken because the cabbages he raised were about to be eaten by pigs!
Tan Lan glanced at him and said, "Why are you so angry? Control your behavior at home. Yuhe is not your subordinate."
Su Zeming was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Your good daughter is going to be taken advantage of by a pig outside! You haven't seen that boy, his skin is dark like a miner, and he is taller than me. If he hits a woman, Yuhe and others like her won't be able to withstand his punch!"
"Rin-ge won't let me cry."
Su Yuhe said firmly that when she kept crying on the kang and Jiang Lin didn't stop, she would realize how naive she was.
After dinner, Su Yuhe wanted to help clear the dishes, but Tan Lan pushed her to go take a shower: "Let your dad clear them."
…
After taking a hot bath, Su Yuhe felt much more comfortable.
Tan Lan had already tidied up her room at home, and the quilt was filled with a faint scent of soap.
Su Yuhe felt sleepy and soon fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, the room was pitch black and I had no idea what time it was.
She put on her cotton coat and walked out. In the living room, Tan Lan and Su Zeming were sitting together watching TV.
"Mom and Dad."
Su Zeming turned around: "Are you awake?"
"What time is it?"
Su Zeming glanced at his watch: "It's a little after eight o'clock. Are you hungry? I left some food in the pot for you. Dad will get it for you."
It was already eight o'clock. Su Yuhe had slept for at least four hours. No wonder she was so hungry.
"Thank you, Dad."
Su Zeming got up and went to the kitchen to get food for Su Yuhe.
Tan Lan waved to Su Yuhe: "Come here, Mom."
Su Yuhe smiled and sat over.
Tan Lan picked up the telegram on the table and said to Su Yuhe: "Here, this is the telegram that the postman delivered this afternoon. I think it's from H Province. It should be from your boyfriend. I saw you were sleeping soundly so I didn't wake you up. Take a look."
Each word in a telegram is three and a half minutes long, and is usually concise to a sentence. Telegrams are only chosen for urgent matters!
When Su Yuhe heard that someone was from H Province, her first reaction was that it was Jiang Lin who sent the telegram. They had just separated yesterday, and she had no idea what this man wanted to say in the telegram.
Su Yuhe unfolded the letter paper:
"Yuhe, that train will arrive in the capital around noon. I guess you'll have already taken a nap at home when you see this letter. It's only the first day since we parted, and I can't help but miss you. I forgot to put salt in the rice I cooked today, and Old Man Shi took the opportunity to laugh at me again. I didn't have time to argue with him. After dinner, I subconsciously went to the educated youth station, but the educated youth had all gone home for the New Year, and the gates were locked tightly. When I sent the telegram, I said it would take more than three hours..."
The telegram was five or six hundred words long, and all of it talked about trivial matters, like how the hens stopped laying eggs because of the cold weather, and how Old Man Shi complained that his cooking wasn't as delicious as Su Yuhe's...
That’s a lot of words, that’s twenty-one dollars!
Good job!
It cost someone half a month's salary!
Su Yuhe felt sorry for the money, but she felt sweet in her heart because Jiang Lin was so generous to her.
Holding the letter and smiling foolishly, she also missed Brother Lin.
Seeing her silly look, Tan Lan knew that this girl was completely in love with the man: "Who took the photo? What did they say? Is there something urgent?"
Su Yuhe came back to her senses: "Nothing urgent, this was taken by Brother Lin, just a casual chat."
Tan Lan: "Why do you write so many words? It looks like hundreds of words."
Su Zeming came out with food in hand: "Humph! You still can't change your capitalist ways. Even when there's something urgent on our team, we don't write so many words!"
Su Yuhe raised her chin: "You don't understand, Brother Lin misses me."
She took the telegram back to her room, scanned her boudoir, and finally placed it solemnly in the drawer of her bedside table.
The next morning, Su Yuhe went to reply to Jiang Lin's telegram.
As if setting an example, her words were brief: "Brother Lin, I miss you too. Tomorrow is the New Year, happy new year. Call me if you need anything."
Su Yuhe gave Jiang Lin the phone number of her home. She didn't know why he chose to send a twenty-dollar telegram instead of making a phone call.
Maybe he was afraid of disturbing Su Yuhe, or afraid that the phone call would come home and make Su Zeming unhappy?
Jiang Lin had met Su Zeming before and was not worried about Su Zeming answering the call. He guessed that Su Yuhe would rest first when she got home and calling would easily wake her up.
…
Su Zeming's parents passed away when he was in his teens, so he joined the army.
He has no biological brothers or sisters, but some distant relatives came to recognize him in the past.
They all came for Su Zeming's power. Su Zeming was an honest man and was unwilling to arrange jobs for these distant relatives whom he had no impression of.
No one came after a long time.
Su Zeming was happy to have some free time. It was just him and Tan Lan during the Chinese New Year, and after the New Year he would go back to visit Tan Lan's relatives.
Later, with the addition of Su Yuhe, the home became a little more lively.
