Chapter 453 You still look handsome in military uniform!

"As a man, you should build your career first and then start a family. This will be beneficial for your future development. Mom, please stop pushing Fifth Brother! Look at Fifth Brother's height and appearance. When he succeeds in his career, are you still worried that he won't be able to find a partner?

Don't worry, the two of you. Even if Fifth Brother is single, he will be a golden bachelor in the future." After Su Mei smiled, she stood up to speak for Su Shengxue.

She smiled and looked at Su Shengxue, and continued, "Besides, Fifth Brother is now at the stage of striving hard. If we let him focus on dating and getting married, it will affect his future! We should support Fifth Brother and let him concentrate on making his own way."

Su Shengxue is now in the rising stage of his career and needs more time and energy to work hard. If he is distracted by marriage, it may affect his future.

Su Mei smiled, but she still had something to say to help Su Shengxue.

Hearing Su Mei's praise, Su Shengxue immediately smiled confidently:

"Yes, I am a golden bachelor! Dad and Mom, I am currently filming a movie in Yanjing. There are so many beautiful women in the crew. I will definitely find a daughter-in-law for you two someday."

"Golden bachelor? I think it's a bronze bachelor!" Bai Xiaofang gave Su Shengxue a cold look.

"You two brothers can go on as hard as you want! It's no use for me to urge you. If you can't find her in the future, don't regret it!"

"No regrets. What is there to regret? Our Su family has no shortage of people to carry on the family line. My brothers already have children. I'll enjoy myself for a few years and then think about getting married." Su Shengxue didn't want to be bound by family too early and shook his head indifferently.

As parents, we always can't help but worry about our children's marriage.

However, the children have grown up and have their own ideas, so they decided not to urge Su to continue her studies and find a partner for the time being.

Everyone in the family was aware of Su Shengxue's stubborn temper and knew that he had no plans to get married at the moment, so it was useless to urge him.

As night falls, after finishing their meal, the whole family sits in the yard, chatting leisurely and enjoying the rare family time.

As it got dark, everyone got up, washed up, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Su Mei and Huo Jianguo were lying in bed, getting ready to fall asleep, when they suddenly heard a soft knock on the door.

The two looked at each other, with a hint of doubt in their hearts.

Su Mei asked softly, "Who is it?" Bai Xiaofang's low and serious voice came from outside the door: "My daughter, Jianguo, you must close the door before going to bed at night!"

Su Mei opened the door and saw her mother's serious expression. She couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Mom, why did you come to remind us to close the door?"

Bai Xiaofang sighed deeply and explained:

"Alas, our area has been very chaotic recently. If you don't lock your door at night, you might attract robbers.

In the past, we always slept with the door open in the summer because of the hot weather, but now it is no longer possible. We must keep the door closed to avoid thieves.

Even your grandpa’s hive of bees was stolen.”

"What? Someone is stealing bees?" Su Mei's eyes widened in surprise, unable to understand such behavior at all.

She asked eagerly, "How can bees steal? This is the first time I've heard of this!"

"House bees also sleep at night. You can easily move the beehive by covering it with a piece of clothing." Bai Xiaofang explained, and then said helplessly:

"I really don't know what these people are thinking. Isn't reform a good thing? Instead of farming properly, they start stealing and cheating."

"That's really messy. Okay, I get it, Mom. We definitely won't sleep with the door open." Su Mei echoed Bai Xiaofang.

There was no way she could sleep with the door open.

It's not that I'm afraid of thieves, I'm just afraid that a snake will crawl into the house in the middle of the night.

Even people in the countryside have to close their doors and go to sleep. Su Mei thought that the world would probably be in chaos for a few years.

Early the next morning, Su Mei and Huo Jianguo went to Dagang Village.

When they arrived, the sun was shining brightly on the earth, illuminating the entire village. Compared with winter, Dagang Village at this time seemed particularly lively.

The birds are singing on the branches, as if welcoming the arrival of a new day.

The people in the village were busy moving around in the fields, starting their day's work.

The rising smoke adds a touch of warmth to this small village.

Su Mei and Huo Jianguo strolled along the country road, feeling the breath of spring.

The rape flowers on the roadside are golden and radiate fragrance. Peach blossoms, pear blossoms and other fruit trees are also in full bloom, decorating the entire village into a sea of ​​flowers.

When they walked into the village, the villagers greeted them warmly and asked about their recent situation.

Su Mei and Huo Jianguo chatted with everyone while writing, and soon arrived at the house that Huo Jianguo built for Huo Fugui.

The environment around the house looks better than it did in winter.

The breath of spring fills the air, bringing new hope and vitality.

There are all kinds of vegetables planted in front of the house, a lush green area that gives people a fresh and natural feeling.

Next to the vegetable garden is a small chicken coop, which houses a group of lively and cute chicks.

They chirped as if welcoming the guests.

The surroundings of the house were also kept clean and tidy, without any trace of disorder.

It can be seen that Huo Fugui is taking good care of his heart, keeping it full of warmth and comfort.

When Su Mei and Huo Jianguo passed by, Old Mrs. Huo was sitting leisurely under the locust tree at the door, enjoying the cool air.

She was wearing loose clothes and had a kind smile on her face.

When she saw the young couple coming over, she was so excited that her eyes narrowed into slits and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised.

"Grandma!" Su Mei shouted loudly.

Old Mrs. Huo quickly stood up to greet them: "You are back, come in and sit down."

Huo Jianguo helped his grandmother into the house and sat down, then asked, "Where's my dad? Why can't I see him?"

Mrs. Huo smiled and replied, "Your father went to work in the fields early in the morning and hasn't come back yet."

Hearing this, Su Mei and Huo Jianguo went into the house, cleaned it up, and chatted with the old lady for a while.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Su Mei and Huo Jianguo took the dishes they brought to the kitchen to cook.

The couple worked together and soon, a table of delicious food was placed on the table.

About half an hour after the meal was ready, Huo Fugui returned home carrying a basket of pig grass he had picked from outside.

When he got home, he stared at Huo Jianguo for a long time, as if he couldn't believe that Huo Jianguo was back.

He stood for a while before putting down the backpack, washing his hands, and sitting down at the dining table.

The family sat together and started to enjoy lunch.

After the meal was served, Huo Jianguo and Su Mei accompanied the two elderly people, eating and chatting.

Huo Jianguo inquired about the two elderly people's recent conditions with concern. He learned about their physical health, life needs and other situations in detail.

After chatting for a while, Huo Jianguo looked at Su Mei and said softly:

"Su Mei, please check the health of Dad, Grandma and Mom to see how they are doing."

Huo Jianguo is most worried about their health as he is away from home for a long time.

Su Mei nodded upon hearing this, took out the medical equipment, and carefully conducted a comprehensive physical examination for the two elderly people.

After some examination, Su Mei told Huo Jianguo:

"Dad and grandma are in good health, there is no major problem."

After hearing the news, Huo Jianguo finally felt relieved.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he slowly stood up, sorted his clothes, and prepared to leave.

Seeing the couple getting ready to leave after finishing their meal, Huo Fugui was reluctant to let them go and quickly tried to persuade them to stay:

"Jianguo, how about we stay here tonight?"

Huo Jianguo also wanted to stay, but he took a look at the room and shook his head in embarrassment:

"Dad, let's go back.

There are only two bedrooms in the house, which is perfect for you and grandma. There is really no other place to sleep."

Huo Fugui then realized that there were indeed no extra rooms for them to live in. A trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he could only force a smile and say:

"Okay then, be careful on the road."

"Dad, don't be sad. We will stay in our hometown for nearly a month this time. We will have the chance to visit you in the future. Then we can have a good reunion!" Huo Jianguo saw that Huo Fugui was reluctant to leave, so he stepped forward, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted him with a few words.

After hearing this, Huo Fugui felt better and nodded with a smile on his face:

"Okay, son! I'll kill a chicken in two days, prepare some delicious food, and then ask you to come over!"

Huo Jianguo knew that treating him to a good meal was probably the only thing the old man could do for him now.

When he heard Huo Fugui say he wanted to kill a chicken, he agreed and did not reject Huo Fugui's intention.

After agreeing to have dinner together sometime, Huo Jianguo and Su Mei stood up and said goodbye.

The two elderly people followed the young couple until they could no longer see them, then turned around and went home. They kept reminding them to take good care of themselves and come back to visit more often when they have time.

After visiting the two elderly people of the Huo family, Huo Jianguo and Su Mei returned to the Su family.

Because they got back late, the young couple did not do anything else that day. They accompanied Su Xuanhu to drink tea for the whole afternoon, chatted about many family matters, and shared some life experiences in Yanjing.

It was not until the third day after returning home that Su Mei followed Su Xuanhu to see the Su family's medicinal fields.

The herbs in the fields are growing well, and some have already bloomed and produced seeds.

When the seeds are ripe, they can be picked and sown over a large area.

After the Chinese New Year, Su Mei picked some medicinal herbs from the mountains and brought them to Yanjing, and exchanged them for a lot of money from the soldiers and Lele.

After receiving the money, Su Mei immediately transferred the money back home.

The money earned from medicinal herbs far exceeded the value of growing grain, and the Su family also had a good understanding of the medicinal herbs business.

With the seeds, Su Mei's brothers planned to use some land to grow medicinal herbs.

While on vacation at home, Su Mei made a list of medicinal herbs and planned to go up the mountain to collect them.

After returning to Yanjing at the end of summer vacation, she will have to go to the army to check on her. The last treatment cycle is estimated to only last half a year.

The summer vacation just happened to be over, so she could bring back a new batch of medicinal herbs.

After making the list, Su Mei followed Huo Jianguo to the nearby mountains to collect some herbs for the first few days.

Later, the weather was too hot, so she didn't go out and stayed at home to enjoy the cool air.

The medicinal herbs in the medicine field began to be divided and propagated. Huo Jianguo and Su Shengxue went to work in the fields, but Su Mei ignored them.

After finishing the work at the medicine field, Su's vacation for further studies was short, and he had to return to Beijing to join the crew as soon as possible, so he had to leave first.

After finishing all the work that needed to be done, the Su family no longer had to farm and soon had some free time.

After they had some free time, Su Mei and Huo Jianguo went to Huo Fugui's house for a quick meal.

There is still half a month left before school starts.

For the rest of the time, Su Mei and Su Xuanju stayed at home, taking the pulse and examining the patients in the village.

Huo Jianguo went to Dagang Village every day and went up the mountain with Huo Fugui to chop firewood.

He thought that while he was at home he could help Huo Fugui chop some firewood and put it in the yard so that they could have a fire to keep warm in the winter.

After a month's vacation, Su Mei became plump and white, but Huo Jianguo was just the opposite. He worked hard every day and was tanned by the sun.

The weather was too hot when they returned to Beijing. This time, Su Mei finally persuaded Su Xuanju and he no longer insisted on sending the couple to the town.

I go back home during the Chinese New Year and summer vacation. I come back frequently and stay longer. This time, the sadness of separation has faded a lot.

After four or five days of driving in the hot August, Su Mei and Huo Jianguo finally arrived in Yanjing.

The day after they arrived in Yenching, Yenching University started its new semester.

In the blink of an eye, Su Mei is already a junior.

Remembering that she had not registered properly at the start of the previous semesters and was scolded by the principal, Su Mei went to school obediently this time.

One is that I want to register properly, and the other is that I want to check my grades.

On the school wall, Su Mei saw the news that the chemistry team she led had won the championship.

This result was within Su Mei's expectations. After taking a look, she excitedly went to the principal's office.

After knocking on the door and entering, Su Mei said straight to the point:

"Principal, I promised to lead the chemistry team to win the championship, and I have successfully achieved it. So this semester, I can continue to skip classes. You will not fail me in all my classes just because I don't come to school!"

"What I said must count." The principal glared at Su Mei unhappily.

"Just, can you tell me what you are doing and why you can't come to school?"

"Principal, I opened a clothing store and a supermarket... These are not new things. I plan to open many more stores in the future. I really can't come to school." Su Mei told the truth.

The principal really didn’t understand: “Is opening a store better than working in a state-owned enterprise?”

"That's definitely better!" Su Mei thought for a moment and asked the principal, "How much do you make every month?"

"One hundred yuan a month." The principal proudly reported his salary.

In order not to offend the principal, Su Mei said calmly: "One hundred yuan is the daily profit of the supermarket I run."

"How many days' profit did you say one hundred is? Daily profit?" The principal was shocked and couldn't believe what he heard.

He even wondered if he had heard it wrongly.

Su Mei nodded seriously and confirmed again: "Yes, every day."

In fact, Su Mei knew that the actual daily profit could reach two hundred or even more, but she was afraid of shocking the principal too much, so she chose to be more conservative.

However, even after telling only this half of the truth, the principal was still shocked.

At this moment, the principal was overwhelmed by this astonishing number and completely lost the ability to speak.

He stood there, swaying in the wind.

In the end, he could only wave his hands helplessly, signaling Su Mei that she could leave.

To destroy a person's money is like killing his parents. At this time, the principal could not say that we should treat money as dirt and study hard.

Even the principal himself wanted to go out and have some fun.

Fifty-something is the right age to be a man...
