Secretary Song wasn't lying; she really did take Su Yu for a long stroll around the streets, seemingly unfazed by the cold. Luckily, she had bought leather gloves, so Su Yu's hands didn't feel cold anymore, and she sat back down, admiring her watch.
Secretary Song, who was riding his bicycle, finally couldn't stand the silence and started a conversation, "Comrade Su, didn't you buy a bicycle? Why don't I see you riding it?"
"I can't," Su Yu said directly. There are plenty of people who can't ride a bike these days, more than she's ever met who can't drive, so there's nothing to be ashamed of.
Secretary Song said, "Have you ever thought about learning? It's so inconvenient to buy a car but not ride it."
"I can't learn it," Su Yu said. She wasn't going to learn it. What if she fell? There was a driver available, so she didn't need to worry about being picked up.
Hearing Su Yu's words, Secretary Song said with dissatisfaction, "That won't do. As a Party member, you must have the determination to overcome difficulties. You can't give up just because you can't learn it. Here's what we'll do: I'll teach you after you've calmed down after the New Year."
"Let's not do this," Su Yu quickly said. "It's too much trouble. I can learn from my younger brother and his friends, it'll be just as good."
"...Fine, then you can learn from your younger brother. But I don't think your brother and the others are very good at riding either," Secretary Song said sourly.
Su Yu said against her will, "Practice makes perfect. My brother and the others will ride very well in time."
Secretary Song didn't say anything more. He even felt his illness was getting worse, yet he had actually offered to teach someone how to ride a bicycle. What a meddlesome thing to do! He deserved to be rejected!
After driving around for a while, they finally arrived near the compound where Old Su's family lived. Su Yu quickly got out of the car and smiled at Secretary Song, "Thank you so much, Secretary Song. I'll treat you to a meal next time."
Secretary Song smiled and waved, "See you next year." Then he turned his car around and hurriedly rode away.
If he didn't leave soon, he worried that he would unknowingly make dinner plans with someone again.
Watching Secretary Song leave, Su Yu shook her head and sighed. "Actually, if she hadn't talked, she would have been a pretty good kid."
Indeed, fate is fair; it gives you a likable side, but it also gives you an unlikable side.
There are indeed very few people in this world as perfect as her. Perhaps that's why the master couldn't stand it anymore and threw her here.
She turned around and went straight into the courtyard.
The entire Su family was eagerly awaiting her return. When they saw her come home, they all stared intently at her new gloves.
"Sis, you only bought yourself a pair of gloves?" Su Zhi exclaimed.
"What? This is a New Year's gift from my colleague." Su Yu threw the gloves on the bed and then held out her wrist.
The whole family's eyes widened in surprise, and they crowded around her, staring intently at the watch on her wrist.
"Sister, you're so beautiful," Su Lin said with envy.
Liu Mei stared at her intently.
A watch...
Su Yu withdrew her wrist and sighed, "As soon as I went out, I started thinking about what to buy. After thinking it over and over, it seems like we don't lack anything except a watch. We're always so unpredictable when we go to work, so if we had a watch, everyone in the family would know the time, which would be so convenient. We only have one watch, so it wouldn't be right to give it to anyone else. I'll keep it here. If anyone wants to know the time, they can just ask me."
Old Su Jiaru nodded. "My sister is truly devoted to the family; even when buying something for herself, she considers the whole family."
Liu Mei leaned closer, "Sister, let's take another look. I've seen other watches before, but I've never touched one."
Su Yu stretched out her hand, "Go ahead and touch it."
Su Lin quickly said, "Let me touch it first." Then she cautiously touched the watch, even swallowing hard.
After she finished touching him, Liu Mei also slowly touched him.
Su Yu put the watch away. "Alright, when the family is better off, we'll buy one for everyone."
The pie in the sky was drawn first.
Although the pie looked pretty big, everyone automatically chose to believe Su Yu, given his previous reputation for keeping his word.
My sister will buy it, she definitely will.
Su Yu glanced at her watch. "Actually, it's not a big deal. I bought a relatively cheap one. Do you know how the salesperson treated me? They looked at me with disdain. I can't afford an expensive one! How dare they look down on our Su family! Hearing that you were insulted felt like my heart was being cut by a knife. I felt so aggrieved. You guys work hard, and next year we'll buy the best watch. This extra one is a reward for you."
The Su family was initially indignant, but upon hearing Su Yu's words, they immediately perked up.
Su Zhi asked, "Sis, it's just a watch, how should I reward you?"
Su Yu thought for a moment, "That's right, then let's reward the person who generates the most income for the family."
Su Lin: "..." She had no hope...
Su Zhi and Su Dazhi exchanged a glance, their fighting spirits soaring.
The New Year's Eve dinner consisted of dumplings. Su Yu also joined in the festivities with her family, making a few dumplings together. However, Liu Mei and Su Lin couldn't bear to look at the oddly shaped and cracked dumplings she made, so they simply told her to go and rest.
Su Yu simply picked up her textbooks and started reviewing.
Before I could even finish reviewing, I heard Su Lin shout, "Big sister, look how much meat your sister-in-law is wrapping! What a waste!"
"I'm packing this for my older sister!" Liu Mei said matter-of-factly.
Su Dazhi shouted, "What's all the noise about? Can't you see that Big Sister is studying?"
Su Zhi said, "If anyone makes a sound again, I'll stuff their mouth with a sock."
Su Lin said aggrievedly, "Brother, all you do is bully me."
Su Zhi said, "You're the best in the family, who else would I bully if not you?"
