"Brother, it's not suitable for me to take you along for the time being. You should rest at home for a while. You've been working hard for so many years, it's nothing to take a break."
Zhao Jixue refused without hesitation. It wasn't that he didn't want to bring his older brother, but rather that his brother was too clumsy and he was afraid that his brother would ruin things.
However, he couldn't be careless about getting Su Chengguo into the water; he didn't want anything to go wrong at the last minute.
Upon hearing Zhao Jixue's refusal, Zhao Jifa's smile froze, and he nodded awkwardly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Zhou Li was right. Her younger brother looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. Taking him to make money was just a pretense. He would only treat him like a dog, occasionally giving him a bone to gnaw on.
He is incompetent, and his parents will only favor his younger brother in the future.
Zhao Jifa clenched his fists secretly. He couldn't wait for his younger brother to take care of him; he had to take the initiative. They were born of the same mother, and he could do what his brother could do. He didn't need to ask his brother to help him make money!
Zhao Jixue was preoccupied with planning what to do with Su Chengguo the next day, so he didn't notice that Zhao Jifa's expression was off.
Zhao's father doesn't manage affairs.
Zhao's mother sighed again, lamenting that Su Chengguo had eaten too much...
...
Su Chengguo returned home and quietly handed two eggs to Zhou Chunmei.
"I hid it in the morning. The pig's trotters tasted so good at lunchtime, but unfortunately everyone was watching me, so I didn't have a chance to hide a piece of pig's trotter."
Su Chengguo sighed a little; he remembered that Zhou Chunmei loved to gnaw on pig's trotters.
Zhou Chunmei was both amused and exasperated: "Thanks."
Su Chengguo's feelings for her made Zhou Chunmei feel sweet inside.
She peeled the egg and ate it.
"Is it good? It's a pity it's cold. Eggs with a runny yolk like this taste best when they're warm."
Su Chengguo felt it was a bit of a pity, as the soft-boiled egg cooled down and the yolk solidified.
"It's delicious now, I'll just have one. I'll leave this one for Xue Guang and Xue Kuo."
Zhou Chunmei ate one and left one. This was an extra egg that Su Chengguo brought, which was shared among her small family. There were only two eggs, so there was no need to take them out and divide them.
Su Chengguo nodded and got up to help with the work.
There was a lot of work to do at home, and he was at the age when he was well-fed and had plenty of energy.
Su Luo went to the army base to teach literacy classes.
As the sun went down, the family returned home.
Su Chengguo hugged Su Tiantian, and the little one yawned and smiled.
"Hey, did you fall asleep as soon as you got to the military base?"
Su Chengguo asked with a smile.
Su Luo smiled and nodded. She went to class, and Su Tiantian went to sleep.
Su Tiantian has made her dislike of studying very open.
"It's alright, Uncle. I will study hard so that I can earn money to support my sister in the future. I want to become a high-ranking official and protect my sister."
Su Xuemin chuckled and leaned closer. He had been enrolled for several days and was now very interested in learning.
Many students in the class, like my sister, doze off during class. The teacher says that this means they can't concentrate on their studies.
Su Xuemin didn't know much, but he felt that as the eldest son, he should study hard and become a high-ranking official in the future, so it wouldn't matter if his younger siblings were a little slow.
Su Chengguo ruffled Su Xuemin's hair: "Good lad, you have ambition. Our Su family's glory depends on you. Eat more meat tonight."
The words "high-ranking official" excited Su Chengguo.
He's illiterate and definitely can't be an adult. His son hasn't even started school yet. It's good that his nephew has such ambition. As the saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." We must encourage him.
"Dad, I will study hard in the future. I also want to become a high-ranking official. My older brother taught us to read aoe. It's very simple. We all know it."
Su Xueguang said with a grin, hugging Su Chengguo's leg.
Su Xuekuo nodded obediently to the side.
Su Xuebo nodded repeatedly.
Su Chengguo laughed heartily.
Hearing the children say this made everyone very happy.
Dai Ping'an looked at the Su family children and said with a kind smile, "They have the makings of smart kids."
"Let's get ready and eat."
Liu Xiaohua called out, and the family members went into the kitchen one after another to sit down and start eating.
During the meal, Su Chengguo recounted what had happened at the Zhao family's house.
He's going to follow Zhao Jixue tomorrow to see what kind of trap Zhao Jixue has set for him.
"Second brother, you'd better be extra careful tomorrow."
Su Luo looked at Su Chengguo with some worry.
Dai Ping'an looked at Su Chengguo, took out a medicine packet and handed it to Su Chengguo, saying, "Take this for self-defense. When you're sprinkling it, make sure you have the upper hand and don't get it in your own eyes."
Su Chengguo immediately stood up and took it with both hands, then asked cautiously, "Grandpa, what kind of miracle drug is this?"
"This is a very strong chili powder; even a tiny droplet in the eye is invisible. It's an insidious tactic."
Dai Ping'an calmly explained that this was to save his life and buy him time to escape.
As for whether the methods were insidious or not, I believe Su Chengguo wouldn't care about that.
"Thank you so much, sir, for bestowing upon me this miraculous medicine!"
Su Chengguo was overjoyed and happily accepted the gift.
This is a talisman. The old man's medical skills are superb; this small packet must be incredibly effective.
Even if he encounters some danger and can't win, as long as he takes out this thing, there will definitely be no problem. It will buy him some time. If he still can't outrun it, then he's truly useless.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be fine. As the saying goes, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.' I'll make Zhao Jixue suffer a bit too."
Su Chengguo was confident and had no worries about tomorrow.
Be more careful, don't be careless.
Su Dahai knew that Su Chengguo was reliable and steady, so all his worries were reduced to this one word of advice.
After dinner, Su Chengguo immediately had his family act with him.
Act out a scene where someone runs away from home after an argument.
Dai Pingan scratched his ear; Su Chengguo's voice was so loud it felt like she had knocked out his earwax.
After Su Chengguo left home, Su Chenggong looked at his family and said, "I'm still worried. I'll go with them tomorrow to check on things."
"You're right. It's always good to have a backup plan. So let's not go out to sea tomorrow. Let's put on a full show of family discord and make sure we don't go out to sea."
Su Dahai looked at Su Chenggong and nodded.
Liu Xiaohua nodded repeatedly.
Dai Pingan took out another medicine packet and handed it to Su Chenggong: "The effects are the same."
Su Chenggong accepted the medicine with both hands and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you for the medicine, sir."
Dai Pingan waved his hand: "If it weren't for my clumsy legs, I would have liked to join in the fun. It's good to be young."
He was young once too, and he experienced youthful arrogance and recklessness.
The more time I spend with the Su family, the more I like them.
Each of them has their own personality.
Unwilling to admit defeat, united in purpose.
Dai Changsheng came to pick up Dai Pingan, and Dai Pingan left with him.
Su Luo helped Su Tiantian wash up, and then they went back to their room to sleep.
As soon as Su Luo started silently reciting the knowledge she had learned in class, Su Tiantian obediently fell asleep.
Su Luo glanced at her and smiled gently: "It's okay if my sweet baby doesn't like studying. Mommy will learn. Mommy will work hard to earn money. You can be a happy child and learn whatever you want when the time comes."
Su Luo realized that Su Tiantian really didn't like reading.
