Chapter 457 She can only say it doesn’t matter!
After helping Li Shufen and Zeng Shengqiang with their wedding, Su Mei finally calmed down and planned the opening ceremony of the security company with Huo Jianguo.
Time flies. It took Huo Jianguo two months to apply for the establishment of a security company, and more than two months to build the security company. In a flash, four or five months had passed.
Before Su Mei even went to school, the school had already notified her to go to school to take the final exam.
Fortunately, during the few months that Su Mei was following Huo Jianguo in setting up the company, she had been able to find time to study.
Not to mention how well you do in the exam, but passing should be no problem.
She first went to school to take her graduation examination.
After finishing all the exams, she and Huo Jianguo sent out invitations everywhere, inviting people they knew from all walks of life to attend the opening ceremony of the security company.
A year later, the country opened up some new business areas.
Many of these business areas require the use of security companies.
As long as the company was run, Su Mei and Huo Jianguo would visit them and send out invitations.
The opening ceremony is scheduled for a few days before the Chinese New Year.
Because only by setting this time can Chen Yilon come here during his annual leave.
After attending the opening ceremony, he can stay in Yanjing to celebrate the New Year.
This means that Su Mei and Huo Jianguo cannot go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.
It would take a lot of time for Chen Yilon to come to Yanjing. It was impossible for him to come to Yanjing and then travel through mountains and rivers to follow Su Mei and Huo Jianguo back to his hometown.
Su Mei thought that her parents and grandfather had never been to Yanjing, so she sent a letter back, asking her parents to dispose of the chickens and pigs at home before the New Year.
Then, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, I asked my parents to bring my grandfather and the medicinal herbs that were to be sold at the end of the year to come to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year.
If Su Mei was just coming to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year, her parents and grandfather would definitely not be willing to come.
But Su Mei mentioned that they should come to Yanjing to sell this year's medicinal herbs, so they had to come here even if they didn't want to.
The herbs they harvested were their annual harvest, and they had to sell them to survive until next year.
So after receiving Su Mei's letter, Su Yongcun and Bai Xiaofang obediently began to take care of the poultry at home, even though they were worried that going to Yanjing would cause trouble for Su Mei.
At the Huo family's side, Huo Jianguo called the village and told Huo Fugui that he would not go back this year.
He did not invite Huo Fugui to go to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year.
It's not that he didn't want Huo Fugui to go, it's mainly because Mrs. Huo was in poor health and was not suitable for the long journey by train.
So this year during the Chinese New Year, Huo Jianguo will not be able to accompany Huo Fugui and Mrs. Huo.
Although he did not go back, he had given enough money. Huo Jianguo asked Yi Yong to prepare the New Year's goods and deliver them to Huo Fugui and the old lady.
Ten days before the Chinese New Year, the security company's opening ceremony finally kicked off.
Many people came to attend the opening ceremony of the security company.
First of all, there are many colleagues who admire Su Mei's medical skills.
Next, Xu Jiuri brought professors and scholars from the Medical Research Institute to come and congratulate.
It was a good idea to change the name Xu Jiuri. After changing the name, he severed his relationship with his father, successfully passed the political review, and became the director of the institute.
The entire institute has increased its income and benefits because of Su Mei's reforms. Everyone is grateful to Su Mei. Su Mei is especially kind to Xu Jiuri, so naturally people from the institute will come to attend the banquet.
Su Mei's main connections are people in hospitals and research institutes.
Huo Jianguo invited many military leaders to attend the event. In addition to Chen Yilon, the frontier troops also included Chief of Army Chu Zhonghua, Political Commissar Lu Zhenhai, and some of Huo Jianguo's old comrades.
Huo Jianguo and Su Mei don't need to worry about the people in Yanjing.
The people on the border need Su Mei and Huo Jianguo to arrange accommodation for them.
The couple cleaned up the courtyard in Wangfujing which had been vacant until then and let Chen Yilon and his leaders and comrades from the border live there.
The day before the opening ceremony, Su Mei and Huo Jianguo went to the airport to pick up the group of people from the border.
When they arrived at the airport, they realized that there were quite a lot of people there.
They all came to support Huo Jianguo.
The people who came included Chen Yilong, Lu Zhenhai, Chu Zhonghua, Du Lei [the man with acne on his face who was at odds with Su Mei], Shao Gang [a warrior who had a good relationship with Du Lei], Li Yuan [a warrior who broke his leg at the beginning and had surgery performed by Su Mei], and Xie Li [a warrior who had a good relationship with Li Yuan, both of them were subordinates of Huo Jianguo].
Some of these people came with their families.
Chu Zhonghua brought his wife Lin Ruyin and their beloved daughter Chu Yinglan.
And there is Li Yuan, who came with his mother Aunt Wang.
Su Mei knew all these people, but the person she was most familiar with was Aunt Wang who used to live next door.
After politely greeting everyone, Su Mei walked together with Aunt Wang.
Auntie Wang looked at Su Mei and sighed:
"Why have you become so thin? You look so frail. If you hadn't come to talk to me, I would have thought Jianguo had a new wife."
"I worked hard to lose weight to this size. I was too fat before and my legs hurt when I walked." Su Mei smiled and called Aunt Wang to get on the bus outside the train station.
With the reform and opening up, there are more and more buses in Yanjing.
Human-powered tricycles are gradually being phased out, and most people are getting used to taking the bus to travel.
After getting on the bus, Auntie Wang continued, "You are too thin, very thin. You look much better now that you have lost weight, but losing so much weight all of a sudden, will it be bad for your health?"
"There was a time when I was even thinner than I am now. If Huo Jianguo hadn't been feeding me all the time and tempting me with delicious food, my waist would have been so slender that I could hold it in one hand. I lost weight gradually and it didn't affect my body." Su Mei explained with a smile.
After hearing Su Mei say that she was fine, Auntie Wang was relieved. She said, "As long as you are healthy, that's good."
Then, the two talked about what happened in the military compound in the past two years.
Aunt Wang said that Meimei had divorced her husband peacefully and returned to Shanghai with her child. [Meimei is the Shanghai educated youth mentioned above. She had just given birth to her first child and got pregnant with her second child less than two months later but unfortunately had a miscarriage.
Su Mei didn't find it strange at all that Mei Mei was getting divorced.
She remembered very clearly that Meimei became pregnant and developed gynecological diseases due to her excessive and unhygienic sexual life.
At that time, Meimei's gynecological disease was very serious, but even though Meimei was seeing a doctor, her man insisted on having sex with her as he pleased.
So a long time ago, Su Mei felt that Mei Mei would divorce her husband sooner or later.
After not seeing each other for two years, it turned out that we were separated.
Aunt Wang talked to Su Mei about all the gossips and secrets of the families in the compound.
Su Mei listened with great interest. She didn't have any other hobbies except eating melons.
Nowadays, whenever she has nothing to do, she has to check Weibo to see what’s trending and whether there’s anything interesting to say.
After traveling back to this era, there are no more melons for Su Mei to eat.
So she is particularly willing to listen to gossip spoken by others.
Although Su Mei and Aunt Wang have not seen each other for two years, Aunt Wang is very outgoing and has a lot of gossip in her mind, so she has a lot to say to Su Mei.
The bus drove for more than an hour before finally arriving at Wangfujing.
The entire bus was filled with Huo Jianguo and Su Mei's guests, so almost everyone on the bus got off at this stop.
After getting off the car, Huo Jianguo and Su Mei took their people to the empty yard.
The empty yard is large, but there are not many bedrooms.
Fortunately, the roughnecks in the army were not so picky and said that they could sleep together, so they did not let Huo Jianguo and Su Mei rent a hotel and arranged accommodation for them separately.
The men are easy to arrange, but it is more difficult to arrange for Aunt Wang, Lin Ruyin and Chu Yinglan.
Men can squeeze in and sleep anywhere, but it is not convenient for women to live in the yard and squeeze in with these big men.
Su Mei thought about it and decided to bring Aunt Wang to live with her.
As for Chu Yinglan and Lin Ruyin, Su Mei felt that they were not that familiar with each other and it would be awkward for them to live together, so she wanted to arrange for Lin Ruyin and Chu Yinglan to stay in a hotel.
Because of the unpleasant things that happened in the past, Su Mei didn't want to talk to Lin Ruyin, so she called Chu Yinglan aside to talk about this matter:
"Yinglan, I'm so sorry. There's really no place to stay at home. I can only arrange for you and your aunt to stay in a hotel. You can take out your luggage and I'll take you to the hotel, okay?"
"What are you sorry for?" Chu Yinglan shook her head. "With so many of us here, it's normal that there's not enough room.
You don't have to worry about my mother and me. My mother will go to see my cousin after she has a rest. She has rented a house in Yanjing. We will go there and meet her this time."
After hearing that Yinglan had already found a place to stay, he stopped talking.
Lin Ruyin, who was standing aside, knew that she was not welcome. She looked a little embarrassed. After standing there for a long time and struggling mentally, she decided to formally apologize to Su Mei.
She walked straight to Su Mei and said straight to the point:
"Su Mei, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before, because Jianguo's mother and I are old friends, comrades-in-arms, and close friends. Our relationship is not that of blood sisters, but better than that of blood sisters.
Jianguo is her only relative in this world. At that time, I didn’t know you yet. Some cognitive misunderstandings made me do many things against you and destroy your marriage with Jianguo.
I must sincerely apologize to you for this matter. I hope you can forgive me and not take my ignorance seriously. "
"It's all over, it doesn't matter!" Su Mei responded to Lin Ruyin indifferently.
It is impossible to say that she doesn't mind at all, but times have changed and Su Mei can no longer blame Lin Ruyin. That would be too petty.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it's not Lin Ruyin's fault. The soul that occupied Su Mei's body did do something that aroused great anger among humans and gods.
Lin Ruyin naturally felt unhappy when she saw her best sister's only flesh and blood being ruined.
So it's understandable that she did something excessive.
It's just that Su Mei is unlucky...
When she just came back, Lin Ruyin started targeting her.
Su Mei had also suffered a lot of grievances at that time, so she couldn't do anything and be completely indifferent to Lin Ruyin's past actions.
It's not easy to calculate.
She could only be generous and say it was all in the past and it didn't matter.
What else can I do? I've already said I'm sorry...
