Lu Ting wanted to chase after her, but when he thought of his daughter, he patiently sat down and said, "Rou Rou, close the door and sit down to talk to Daddy for a few minutes."
Lu Yirou closed the door and looked at Lu Ting anxiously, "Dad, is Mom angry?"
"Rou Rou, Dad knows you are a good kid and your grades are pretty good, but you shouldn't lend money to your cousin without telling Mom.
Your mother lets you spend your New Year's money freely because she wants you to use it in the right places, such as buying stationery and books, taking a bus...
Also, it's not right for your cousin to have a boyfriend while she's still in school. You're only twelve years old, and you shouldn't be following her around all day, being curious about her affairs."
"Dad, my brother doesn't want to play with me because I have to go to interest classes and I don't have time to play with my classmates. My cousin said she would take me out to relax. I didn't expect ice skating to be so much fun."
Lu Ting didn't expect that his daughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, had learned to talk back. It seemed that it was true as Yanyan said that girls mature earlier than boys, and his daughter had entered the rebellious period of adolescence.
Lu Ting said earnestly, "Yan Yan, the most important thing for you now is to listen to your mother and study hard. Can you please stop making your mother angry?"
"Dad, is Mom really mad at me? I only went out with my cousin a few times, and my cousin has a boyfriend, but I don't."
"You're only twelve, why are you talking about having a boyfriend? You can't have a boyfriend until you're twenty. You said you wanted to learn ballet, and your mom works so hard to make money so that you can study hard and become an excellent ballet dancer when you grow up."
"Dad, actually, dancing and skating don't conflict with each other, and I'm not going to play during class..."
"Rou Rou, why don't you stop learning dance and piano? Then you can go to the skating rink every day during the summer vacation."
"Dad, life is about sports, and skating is also a sport."
"Dad doesn't understand why you like skating so much. Dad doesn't object to you doing some exercise, but it's not good to be addicted to it.
There are many young people in the skating rink. Is it really okay for a little girl like you to go there frequently? What if you get hurt badly one day? What will your parents do? You are our only daughter.
"Dad, I won't go there anymore."
"Rou Rou, be good. If you have anything else, stay away from your cousin. She's talking about her boyfriend, why are you, a little girl, getting close to her?
Your uncle and aunt will take care of Lu Yilan's affairs, so you don't have to get involved. As for matters of the heart, you will naturally understand them when you grow up.
Your most important goal right now is to study hard and listen to your mother. Go out and apologize to your mother later, take the initiative to admit your mistakes and write her an apology letter."
"Oh well!"
“…”
The father and daughter chatted with each other. After Su Yan walked out of the room, she went to the backyard to chat with her mother for a few words. She went to the front yard to see if Lu Jin's family had come over. As a result, an old customer came out of the Peony Room.
"Xiao Su, you are dressed so beautifully today, like a fairy. You look as old as my granddaughter."
"Uncle Yan is joking."
"Xiao Su, how are the four-season orchids in your greenhouse blooming? Take me to see them."
"Uncle Yan, there are many four-season orchids in bloom in the greenhouse. Would you like to take one home?"
"Okay, take me to see it."
Su Yan asked someone to open the glass greenhouse and took Mr. Yan for a walk inside. She found a pot of gorgeous four-season Jianlan, with double petals, milky white petals and some pink stamens, just like a shy girl in the boudoir, but with innate nobility and elegance.
The floral fragrance is fresh and elegant, lingering and slightly refreshing, not strong, and can make people feel relaxed and happy.
"Xiao Su, what kind of orchid is this?"
The Toyama Orchid is a kind of four-season orchid, belonging to the rare Jianlan family. It seems that it was only introduced from Taiwan in the 1980s. Oh no, how could she get this orchid out in advance?
"I bought this pot of Four Seasons Orchid in the Flower City in the first month of the year for three hundred yuan. If Mr. Yan likes it, I can give it to you."
"This flower blooms beautifully, its fragrance is elegant and lingering, perfect for a study. Are you really going to give it to me?"
"Well, I'll help you move it back to the Peony Room and pay for it with the meal later."
"Okay, thank you. Is your orchid base almost finished? Please invite me to visit it sometime."
"Next spring, I'll send invitations to you, Uncle Zhou, and Mr. Li..."
"Okay, okay, we'll definitely come then."
Su Yan picked up the watering can and poured some water into the pot of Toyama butterfly, then picked up the flowerpot and followed closely behind Old Yan.
Yan Jun, Qin Peiran and the uncles and aunts from the Trade Association were talking about the domestic development situation in the next ten years. At this time, Su Yan came in with Old Yan holding a pot of orchids.
When Qin Peiran looked up, he met a pair of sparkling eyes. The facial features of the person were delicate, bright and attractive, and she combined gentleness, elegance and charm in one. She was so graceful and charming!
"Uncle Yan, the flowers are here, you guys chat."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Su."
As soon as Su Yan left, Yan Jun nudged Qin Peiran with his hand and said, "Brother Qin, what are you looking at? Let me help you analyze the current operating conditions of the factory in Nancheng."
"Um…"
As soon as Su Yan stepped out of the Peony Room, she told the waiter that the guest of the Peony Room had ordered a pot of orchids for three hundred yuan. As the weather was hot, she told the waiter to give the Peony Room a portion of watermelon, a portion of pea yellow, and two plates of cold dishes for free.
When I returned to the backyard, I saw Lu Jin coming with his wife and children, and even his father-in-law Lu Fengnian had rushed back from his hometown.
Chen Yuhe stared at Su Yan in amazement. "Sister-in-law, you look like a fairy today. You look even prettier than the calendar girl."
Su Yan smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is here, come in and sit down!"
Hua Min brought out a basin of icy watermelon from the kitchen. Lu Fengnian took a piece and asked Su Yan, "Did you bring this watermelon from home? Why is it so sweet?"
"I asked people to go to the oil mill to collect vegetable dregs to use as fertilizer, so the crops turned out especially sweet."
"How many acres of watermelons do you have planted in Shanghe Village, your hometown? Don't you rent land there to grow medicinal herbs and fruits?"
"I've contracted a mountain in Shanghe Village to grow fruit. I should see some income in a few years. I've rented over a hundred acres of land, ten acres of alfalfa for cattle, ten acres of watermelon, five acres of cantaloupe, five acres of strawberries, twenty acres of polygonatum, and ten acres each of gastrodia elata, platycodon, Panax notoginseng, rosmarinus officinalis, codonopsis pilosula, and angelica. I've also dug a large pond for raising soft-shelled turtles."
"Can you handle the huge business you've expanded? Lihua Village also has a hundred acres of flower gardens."
Her father helps look after the land in her hometown, and Hua Xiangdong and his son help look after the flower garden in Lihua Village. Although she doesn't have to do many things herself, it is indeed a bit too busy to run around to several places.
Her husband is in the military, what can she do? Should she ask him to take off his military uniform and go into business?
