Thoughts
Su Nian is going abroad with Professor Liu! When the Chu family heard the news, the atmosphere at home was as cheerful as if it were Chinese New Year!
"It's not cold in Lion City, why did you buy a sweater for Su Nian?" Looking at Chu's mother busying around, she finally couldn't help but speak!
"What do you know?" Chu's mother said bluntly, "This isn't a sweater, it's a cardigan. You can wear it on a plane or in an air-conditioned room! It's so practical!"
"Okay," Father Chu shook his head and went to read the newspaper!
When Su Nian returned home, Chu's mother had already prepared her luggage, which included three sets of clothes. Considering that she had to attend a meeting, her clothes were mainly suits, and the other toiletries were all new.
Su Nian was very surprised when she saw the exquisite suitcase. She was also thinking that while there was still some time, she would go with Chu Beichen to purchase these supplies. After all, they were attending an international conference and her image represented Dabei.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Su Nian happily ran over and took Mother Chu's hand, "You are so kind!"
Chu's mother was very happy: "The little girl is so sweet. I wanted a little girl at the beginning, but it turned out to be a son! I gave birth to another one, and it was also a son!" She looked disgusted.
Chu Beichen just opened the door and came in: "Mom, you're saying bad things behind our backs again! What's wrong with your son? When you were little, we carried things for you and ran errands for you. Wasn't it all us?"
Mother Chu was contradicted, but she didn't get angry. She patted Su Nian's hand and said, "Look, there's still time to buy anything else. I'll go cook for you. We'll have hot pot tonight. I'll make a spicy hot pot. Su Nian, do you like spicy food?"
People who grew up in Quzhou have a taste very similar to that of Sichuan, and they also love spicy food. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, Chu's mother has started to make hot pot for everyone!
Chu Beichen greeted Father Chu and reached out to pull Su Nian, "Come, follow me upstairs, I have something for you!"
Since successfully proposing to Su Nian, Chu Beichen has become much bolder. Chu's father put down the newspaper slightly, glanced at their hands holding together, shook his head, and said nothing.
Su Nian was pulled by Chu Beichen and entered his room. "What are you doing? Uncle is watching us!" She was a little shy. It was not that she had never held hands before, but she had never done so in front of adults.
"Here you go," Chu Beichen said without further ado, taking out an envelope from his handbag and handing it to Su Nian.
Su Nian glanced at him and then opened the envelope, which was filled with US dollars. "Wow, so much money?" Su Nian exclaimed.
"It's not much, I only exchanged five thousand US dollars for you. Lion City is nice, there are delicious food and fun things everywhere!" Chu Beichen's eyes were full of doting, "If you don't have money, you will cry!"
At that time, the exchange rate for US dollars was 1 to 8.5, which means that it would cost about 42,000 yuan to exchange 5,000 US dollars.
Su Nian and Professor Liu went to Singapore to attend an international conference and enjoyed government subsidies, but it was only about two hundred US dollars a day. It was enough to drink a glass of water and buy some small items, but it was far from enough to buy expensive items.
"But, Beichen, where do you get so much money?" Even before they got married, Su Nian already started to feel sorry for Chu Beichen.
Chu Beichen smiled indifferently: "If a grown man like me can't earn this little money, why would I marry a wife?"
As he said this, he suddenly hugged Su Nian into his arms, looking at her deeply, "Be careful on your way, I'll wait for you to come back, let's go choose a house together!"
