"Sister, we understand," Su Dazhi replied.
Liu Mei said, "Sister, I also want to take a course in continuing education before the baby is born. After the baby is born, I will have to breastfeed, which will take a long time."
Inspired by Su Yu, Liu Mei is now single-mindedly striving for success, not wanting to spend her whole life working in the factory.
Sister, if she doesn't have the ability, she can't be helped up.
Su Yu nodded, "Okay, then Dazhi will use the family bicycle to take you to school. This bicycle wasn't a waste of money, was it? I was quite farsighted back then."
Then he took another sip of plum juice.
After dinner, Su Zhi leaned over to Su Yu and asked, "Sis, when are you moving back in?"
"What's wrong?" Su Yu raised an eyebrow.
Su Zhi lowered his head and said, "Nothing much, I was just thinking that I'll be joining the army soon. I heard that I won't be able to come back for a long time, and I'll miss you."
"What's there to be reluctant about? A real man should prioritize his career. If you succeed, I'll be happy."
"I just can't bear to part with her," Su Zhi said, blushing. "With you not home, nobody cares about me. My brother and sister-in-law are always together, and Lin doesn't even close the door to study..."
Su Yu stroked his head like she was soothing an animal, "Zhi..."
Su Zhi looked at her expectantly, hoping to receive some words of comfort.
Unexpectedly, Su Yu shoved him away, saying disdainfully, "When did you become so cloying, Su Zhi? Let me tell you something. If you have nothing better to do, run around our district. Try to get into a good unit when we recruit in September. Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook!"
"..."
Su Yu had just returned to her room when Su Lin came running over again.
Su Yu, engrossed in her book, said impatiently, "Why are you here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Su Lin said, "Sister, someone wants to date me, and the way they look at me is different."
How is he?
"Very excellent. An outstanding student."
Su Yu laughed, "We even forbid dating in our university. You vocational school students are already thinking about finding a partner, how outstanding can you be?"
Upon hearing this, Su Lin thought it made a lot of sense. "Sis, then I'll refuse outright."
"Wait, I'm not finished yet. You'd better be more careful about these things in the future. It's not that I'm sorry, but you're afraid of hardship, lazy, and unambitious. If you want a good life, you need to be more discerning in choosing a partner. If you find someone who's unambitious and doesn't care about you, you'll be stuck eating coarse food and doing laundry for the rest of your life." This would also lower the average of the Su family as a whole.
Su Lin felt terrified just thinking about it. "...Sis, then, how about you help me find one later?"
Su Yu: "...Let's go, let's go back to sleep. Focus on your studies now. Don't think about these things before graduation."
"Oh." Su Lin quickly ran away.
After closing the door, Su Yu placed the books on the table and lay down on the bed. Thinking about how unreliable this family was, she suddenly felt like laughing.
She's probably the only boss who worries so much about her long-term workers.
Not only Su Yu laughed, but the rest of the Su family were also laughing happily in the room.
My sister is back, and things are so different. It feels like home again.
We didn't realize it before, but after my sister actually moved out, we all realized how important she is to this family. When she's not home, it's like we've lost our pillar of support; we even lose our appetite.
Having an older sister is great.
The next morning, Secretary Song came to pick up Su Yu by bicycle.
Since it's a rare holiday, I definitely have to go visit Mr. and Mrs. Song at their home.
At the Song family's place, Vice Mayor Xu's wife also came to visit, bringing gifts.
She works for the provincial organization department, and Song Ma works for the provincial women's federation; both are provincial-level cadres. After moving here, it's natural to pay them a visit.
Song Ma wasn't one to put on airs, so she'd entertain them when they came over. However, she wasn't really keen on entertaining them, since her son was bringing Su back later. It wouldn't be convenient to have outsiders in the house.
However, Vice Mayor Xu's wife was unaware of this and kept talking to Song Ma. First, they chatted about everyday things, then about work. Finally, the topic turned to her daughter's university education.
"What a coincidence, our Lili and your Song's boyfriend are roommates."
Upon hearing this, Song Ma was indeed delighted. "That's quite a coincidence. We can take care of each other perfectly."
Vice Mayor Xu's wife smiled and said, "That's what I think too. But our Lili is probably too young and not very good at handling interpersonal relationships, unlike Su Tong who is very worldly-wise and got along well with his roommates after he went there. It would be great if Su could mentor our Lili."
Hearing this, Song Ma felt a little uncomfortable. Her daughter-in-law wasn't someone's maid!
She smiled calmly and said, "We're roommates, what's there to bring up? We see each other all the time, just get along well."
Vice Mayor Xu's wife said, "Su is older after all, Director Qin, please don't misunderstand, I just hope they get along well."
Aunt Song smiled and said, "Look at you, of course we hope that young people get along well, but the problem is that relationships are built up over time. Haven't you seen enough of that already?"
She glanced at the time. "Oh dear, it's so late. I need to go prepare dinner. My husband is bringing people back later. I won't stand on ceremony with you; we can meet at work tomorrow."
Vice Mayor Xu's wife realized that he was being asked to leave, so she stood up and walked out, forcing a smile as she said, "Director Qin, I'll head back now."
"Okay, go ahead. Don't be so polite next time."
After Vice Mayor Xu's wife left, her expression darkened. She was, after all, from the Organization Department, a department with considerable power; this was incredibly disrespectful.
