Chapter 359: Didn’t Fifth Brother recognize me?
Su Shengxue came here under a lot of pressure.
Although it was Su Mei who wrote to ask him to come over, his parents, grandfather, and several brothers did not support him coming to Yanjing.
The policy was not relaxed as Su Mei said. He came to Yanjing under the pretext of visiting relatives and got a letter of introduction.
The letter of introduction is only valid for one month. If you cannot return within one month, you will be repatriated as a "blind migrant".
It took Su Shengxue and the team leader three days to come up with this idea in a month.
No matter what happens one month later, Su Shengxue's idea is that since Su Mei wrote to him and asked him to come, he would come first.
He believed that since Su Mei had specifically asked him to come over, she must have had some plans.
Even if he couldn't stay in Yanjing, Su Shengxue wanted to see the prosperous and colorful city that Su Mei described.
Carrying the luggage, Su Shengxue followed Su Mei and entered the long alley.
Because it was too late and there were few lights in the alley, the tricycle just stopped at the corner and did not go into the alley.
Su Mei helped Su Shengxue carry a bag and led the way with a flashlight.
"The yard you bought is right here?" Su Shengxue asked, looking around.
Su Mei nodded: "Yes, I bought three yards, one of which is being renovated. I asked you to come here to supervise the renovation."
"Okay, I will definitely pretend to be nice for you." Su Shengxue nodded immediately.
The renovation in the city is different from the construction of wooden houses in the countryside. Su Mei didn't intend to ask Su Shengxue to work, and he couldn't do it. "I didn't ask you to do hard labor, but to be a supervisor.
You have to help me keep an eye on the people doing the work and make sure they do their job well.
Huo Jianguo and I are both busy, and Sister Shufen has her own things to do. We really can't spare anybody here, so I asked you to come over.
The renovation is a huge project and will take at least several months to complete.”
"How many months?" Su Shengxue paused after hearing this. "The letter of introduction I wrote only has a one-month validity period. I'm afraid it won't work."
In order to get Su Mei to bring Yang Suhua out, the captain had already violated discipline and wrote a long-term letter of introduction to Yang Suhua. He would never agree to let the captain do the same thing again.
Su Mei also knew this, so she could only say, "We'll talk about it when the time comes. We'll find a way."
In fact, Su Mei has an idea, but she doesn't know whether it will work, so she can only take it one step at a time.
The brother and sister walked for three to five minutes before they reached the gate of the yard.
The door was open and there was a lot of noise in the yard.
A light bulb was placed in the middle of the yard, and people in the yard gathered around a dining table, waiting for Su Mei and Su Shengxue to take their seats.
When he stepped into the yard, Su Shengxue hesitated for a moment: "So many people?"
"There are several tenants." Su Mei replied.
Sun Dai and Chu Tian are here today, and there is not enough dining table, so the kitchen table and the restaurant table are moved out and put together. At a glance, the yard is full of people.
Seeing Su Mei bringing Su Shengxue into the yard, Li Shufen and Huo Jianguo hurried over to take their luggage.
Li Shufen said, "Brother Shengxue, hurry up and take a seat. We are waiting for you and Su Mei to come back and have dinner!"
"Oh! OK." Li Shufen had changed so much that Su Shengxue didn't recognize her at first. If Qiuqiu hadn't rushed over and called him "Mom", he wouldn't have believed that the rosy-faced woman in front of him was the woman who was so thin that she seemed like she could be blown down by a gust of wind.
The climate and soil in this city are really good for nourishing people.
Su Shengxue had never eaten with so many strangers before. He lowered his head a little awkwardly and sat next to Qiuqiu.
After sitting down, Su Mei asked, "Qiu Qiu has always called Shu Fen 'Sister Mother', when did she change to calling her 'Mom'?"
"She heard Lele calling her "Mom" and said that everyone else called her "Mom", so she insisted on changing her words. It's just a title, everyone does it, so let her do it." Li Shufen said as she served the rice.
All the rice was put into a large bowl and placed on the table. Li Shufen was responsible for serving the rice, while Yang Suhua distributed the rice.
After a round of distribution, Su Shengxue was soon assigned to the class. Yang Suhua shouted, "Shengxue brother!"
Because he felt a little awkward and confused, Su Shengxue was in a daze and did not hear Yang Suhua calling him.
"Shengxue brother, food!" Yang Suhua called out again.
Seeing that Su Shengxue did not respond, Su Mei suddenly reached out and slapped Su Shengxue in front of him.
Su Shengxue was so frightened by the slap that he sat up straight, glanced at Su Mei, and said, "What are you doing!"
"Eat!" Su Mei winked in the direction Yang Suhua stretched out her hand.
"Ah!" Su Shengxue turned around and saw a rough hand passing him food. He thought it was Li Shufen's hand, and subconsciously looked at the owner of the hand and wanted to say thank you.
The moment he raised his eyes, Su Shengxue was stunned for a moment.
There is a big difference between a hand and its owner.
The woman's hands were rough, and it was obvious that she had done a lot of rough work in the countryside.
The finger joints are thick and black.
However, the owner of such a pair of hands actually has a fair face, beautiful curly hair, and cherry red lips.
For a moment, Su Shengxue felt that the woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.
He took the meal blankly, and when he looked up again, Yang Suhua had already sat down. There was a tree where she sat, and the shadow of the tree was cast on her face, making Su Shengxue unable to see clearly.
But when she moved, the swaying light from the treetops made Su Shengxue suddenly feel that this woman was very beautiful.
A long time ago, Su Mei started to ask Li Shufen and Yang Suhua to dress up well.
After all, they make money by making clothes, and only if they dress well can they attract customers.
Li Shufen is no longer young, and no matter how she dresses up, she cannot hide the traces of time.
But Yang Suhua, who had a pretty face and a slim figure, looked like a living celebrity after dressing up and putting on the cheongsam made by Li Shufen.
With makeup on her face and her hair done, Yang Suhua looked very beautiful.
Unfortunately, the marks on the hands cannot be changed. Those rough joints and indelible marks will remain on Yang Suhua's hands forever, reminding her of the hardships she has experienced.
After dinner, Huo Jianguo and Su Mei sent Su Shengshu directly to the newly purchased courtyard.
On the way, Su Shengxue asked Su Mei: "Meimei, why didn't you see Yang Suhua all night? Doesn't she live with my sister-in-law?
Or is she living in the newly bought yard and doesn't go back there at night?"
Yang Suhua's experience was also quite tragic. Although Su Shengxue did not marry her, they were engaged in name only. He still hoped that Yang Suhua could live a good life after leaving the village.
Since he hadn't seen Yang Suhua the whole night, Su Shengxue thought of asking Su Mei.
"Fifth brother, didn't you see Sister Suhua last night?" Su Mei looked at Su Shengxue strangely.
Su Shengxue was also confused: "Isn't she away? Where can I see her?"
"Yang Suhua is here!" Huo Jianguo took over the conversation. "When you were eating, the girl who brought you food had crooked eyes and a thick mouth. Wasn't she her? Didn't Fifth Brother recognize her?"
