Su Ruyi and Wu Lili never imagined that it was Chen Yuanyuan who proposed to Su Tong!
Su Tong's face turned bright red: "I'm willing! I'm more than willing!"
...
That evening, Su Tong booked two comfortable single rooms for Su Ruyi and Wu Lili at a state-run hotel—using a letter of introduction from the food factory.
Su Tong is now a mid-level manager in the factory and has the authority to keep and issue letters of introduction.
He was very meticulous and never abused his power, so Su Xiangjun trusted him completely.
After dinner, Su Ruyi, carrying snacks and canned food, knocked on Su Xiangjun's door with Su Tong.
Returning here, the courtyard has been completely rebuilt and is unrecognizable.
From the courtyard walls to the houses, everything is brand new, and the layout has been changed, leaving no trace of the past.
Seeing this scene, Su Ruyi felt that the terrible, tragic, and heartbreaking events that had occurred in this small courtyard seemed to have faded away considerably.
Su Xiangjun opened the door himself.
After not seeing him for several months, Uncle Su was even more spirited and energetic.
The former food factory manager, having colluded with Chen Weixing, was implicated in the Xia Dong case and is now in jail.
Su Xiangjun officially became the factory director of the food factory, dropping the word "actor," and he seemed completely different.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Su Xiangjun recalled the first time he met her, and how well-behaved and sensible she was.
Since arriving in the countryside a few months ago, the little girl has changed and become more composed.
Su Xiangjun's wife, Qin Lan, is a cadre of the district women's federation, and she always has a smiling face.
After taking the snacks and fruit from the two of them, her smile became even brighter: "You're welcome! Don't be so polite! Wow, these are heavy! You must have spent a lot!"
Su Tong was clearly very familiar with her: "Aunt Qin, it's all only right. Director Su has taught and helped me a lot. I owe my success today to Director Su's kindness and support!"
Qin Lan nodded repeatedly: "Little Tong, you're getting more and more talkative! Your Aunt Qin can't argue with you anymore! Come, come, don't just stand there. Little Tong, this girl must be your sixth sister, right? She has the same bright and lively eyes!"
Su Ruyi smiled and said, "Aunt Qin, hello! My name is Su Ruyi."
Su Xiangjun laughed and said, "You can't call her aunt, you have to call me uncle and she auntie!"
Su Ruyi immediately changed her address: "Hello, Auntie!"
Qin Lan laughed heartily: "That's wonderful, Ruyi, what a great name! These two children from the Su family, how come they're so good at having children! Such wonderful children, and they only had two in one lifetime!"
Hearing this, Su Ruyi understood that Su Xiangjun had not told Qin Lan about the messy things in Su Ruyi's family.
Uncle Su is truly an exemplary person!
After everyone finished exchanging pleasantries, Su Xiangjun pulled Su Ruyi aside and said, "Ruyi, thanks to you for telling me in advance that Xia Dong was going to fall, I was able to prepare and deliver a fatal blow to that big scourge in our factory! Ruyi, you are truly my lucky star!"
Su Ruyi quickly waved her hand: "Uncle, you flatter me. If you hadn't transferred Su Tong away on a business trip in time, I wouldn't have been able to work so freely here. In fact, you've been a great help to me!"
"We're family, let's not be so formal!" Su Xiangjun chuckled. "Is Xiao Tong really getting married? He should think carefully about who he's looking for!"
Su Ruyi naturally knew what Su Xiangjun was referring to—Chen Yuanyuan's family was now tainted.
After Su Tong married her, his future career advancement would likely become more difficult.
There might be other consequences, as there are precedents for this. Uncle Su's reminder was well-intentioned and timely.
However, Su Ruyi knew the future development path of China.
She had already planned it out—her fourth brother would ultimately change his fate by taking the college entrance exam.
However, she couldn't tell Su Xiangjun this.
She looked at Su Tong, whose mouth was stuffed with pastries and candies by Qin Lan, and said with a smile, "When looking for a wife, you should find one that he likes. As for other things, our family will take care of him!"
"Yes! Well said!" Su Xiangjun couldn't help but exclaim. "Ruyi, you are destined for greatness! With your ambition, I believe that one day you will soar to great heights!"
"Uncle, you're making me feel so good!" Su Ruyi changed the subject, "Why haven't I seen your parents and brother's family?"
"The family has separated! They've finally separated!"
Su Xiangjun said with a sigh of relief, "My parents have moved to the new apartment building allocated to me by my younger brother's family!"
Qin Lan heard this and quickly interjected:
"They should have broken up a long time ago!"
The second brother's family has long been envious of your uncle's newly allocated three-bedroom apartment!
The old lady heard that something had happened in this courtyard before, and she's been restless like a madwoman ever since!
They've gone, that's perfect!
If you ask me, what's wrong with this yard?!
Which house doesn't have people die in?
A family where no one has ever died is a monster!
These five large brick houses are brand new! Shining brightly!
Three boys, each with their own room, how wonderful!
There's still room left in the storage room!
When the boys get married again, they won't need to build another house!
They are so short-sighted!
Su Xiangjun listened with a smile to his wife's words, which were half complaints and half sighs.
Su Ruyi looked around the courtyard again.
The dilapidated scene has long since vanished. The entire courtyard is now bright and clean, with strings of chili peppers, garlic, dried melons, and dried vegetables hanging under the eaves.
The kitchen, fitted with transparent glass, is neat and tidy at a glance.
The two large stoves were spotless, no longer the nauseating sight they had been when the Su family lived there.
Indeed, it's not about the house, but about the people living in it.
Su Ruyi and Su Tong exchanged a glance.
They all escaped the predetermined arrangements of fate, and fled the Su family courtyard they once knew.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The fruit and snacks that the two people had just brought over have been washed, unpacked, plated, and served.
Su Xiangjun also took out a small bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and insisted on having a couple of drinks with Su Tong.
Su Tong generously toasted Su Xiangjun with several glasses of wine.
After starting work, Su Tong became more composed, and when toasting, every word he uttered came from the bottom of his heart.
Su Xiangjun was slightly drunk:
"Why wouldn't I be able to be Xiao Tong's witness at his wedding?"
That girl, even though her father has problems, is an innocent and good girl!
Now that my injury has healed, what's wrong with not going to work and staying home to take care of the kids?
Finding someone who cares about you is more important than any background!
Xiao Tong, don't pay attention to those gossipy people!
If you listen to those people, you might as well die!
Don't worry, your uncle will definitely save face for you!
Soon, Su Xiangjun and Qin Lan finalized the wedding date – next Sunday.
Ten days left.
