In the afternoon, she called Secretary Zhou to inquire about Secretary Song's schedule and see if they had any appointments.
Secretary Zhou sipped his tea and smiled, "Secretary Song has been so busy lately, I haven't been able to see her at all. I've tried to get an appointment with her several times but haven't been able to. But Secretary Su, there's no way you can't get an appointment with her."
"I'm busy too," Su Yu said. Preparing for the college entrance exam is a daunting task for everyone; how could it be easy?
Secretary Zhou chuckled again; he knew it. The two of them then went off together.
He smiled and said, "Secretary Su, why don't you invite Secretary Song out for a meal? It's the start of the new year and she hasn't had a single meal yet; we're worried about her."
"...You should make the invitation. You two are good friends."
Secretary Zhou quickly replied, "Okay, then I'll make the appointment."
After hanging up with Su Yu, Secretary Zhou called the municipal party committee and was finally able to speak with Secretary Song after several transfers.
At that moment, Secretary Song was indeed holding a notebook with a bunch of math problems that might appear on the college entrance exam. These were the key points he had summarized from his days and nights of studying, including those highlighted by university professors.
Everything is ready, but I don't know how to get it delivered to the right person.
It would be awkward to deliver it myself. But if I don't deliver it, it seems like it won't do any good.
So when he heard that Secretary Zhou wanted to go out to dinner, he refused. "What are we going to eat? We haven't finished our business yet, what are we going to eat?"
"Secretary Su also wanted to get together with everyone; we just had a phone call."
Upon hearing this, Secretary Song pursed her lips and said, "I must say a few words. It's so busy at the beginning of the year, and there's even a dinner party. It seems that the burden on your shoulders is still too light."
Secretary Zhou said, "That's not how it is. No matter how busy you are, you still need to eat."
Secretary Song said sternly, "The details over the phone are unclear. Never mind, I'll just criticize him in person. Anyway, this kind of behavior is wrong. What time is it for a meal?"
Secretary Zhou: "...It'll be around noon, still at the Oriental Hotel."
"Okay, I got it. Remember to come, don't skip it just because I'm going to criticize you."
"..."
After hearing the words from the antelope, Secretary Zhou was still confused. What was going on? Why was Secretary Song going to criticize them? What was happening?
Confused about the situation, he quickly called Su Yu to find out what was going on.
Su Yu was doing math problems when she heard this and laughed, "Criticizing us? When has he ever not criticized anyone?"
Secretary Zhou explained, "Secretary Song is a very amiable person."
"Yeah, he's the most amiable, don't worry. He can criticize us, he can't bite us. We'll just order white flour dumplings and braised fish."
"I remember that, but Secretary Su, please come sooner rather than later."
"Okay, I'll go first."
Having secured an appointment with Secretary Song, Su Yu felt relieved. Meeting in person would facilitate communication. Once this matter was resolved, she could focus on preparing for the move.
Thinking about moving soon, Su Yu felt a surge of joy.
Back home that evening, the entire Su family held another meeting.
The whole family formed a circle around Su Yu, their faces filled with excitement as they eagerly watched their eldest sister.
Su Yu said seriously, "As everyone knows, April 1st is a very sacred day. We are about to move to a new home."
The entire Su family nodded hurriedly.
"I won't assign tasks for moving the house. Dazhi will be in charge of the large items, and Meizi and Lin will be in charge of the smaller items."
"Sister, we know, we'll definitely take good care of it," Su Dazhi said.
Su Yu continued, "Next is the arrangement of this house. There are two options: sell it or rent it out."
This is a big deal. The whole family looked at Su Yu. Su Dazhi said, "Sister, whatever you think, we'll listen to you."
“My suggestion is to sell it,” Su Yu said directly.
This house has to be sold. Having too many houses these days isn't a good thing. Especially since the Su family already lives in such a big house, if they had another one, they'd become a target for attacks.
Although everyone was a little reluctant—after all, it was a house—they all obeyed Su Yu's every word. If she wanted to sell it, then selling it was definitely the better option.
"Sister, shall we ask someone to spread the word?" Su Zhi said.
“No need, I’ll find a buyer myself,” Su Yu said.
