"I'm fine, and the Li family is fine too. Give the phone to Mom; I have something to say to her." Su Ti looked around the house; everyone else had gone to work.
The nannies were very perceptive and all went out in unison, while Xiao Liu stood by the car waiting outside.
She planned to talk to her mother about Su Nianyou.
Su Lin: "..." He was just saying he missed his sister.
He reluctantly handed the phone to his mother.
"Mom, Li Ci and Qi Bowen were sent to the countryside, to the former Yangliu Brigade, but they made a fuss several times before they left."
“I want you to talk to your aunt, but not you. Find a reliable person to pass on the message to her. Tell her that the Wei family switched the children, and now their biological child has been switched back.”
"But the mother in Beijing is worried about the child she raised and wants to go with him to see him. She even brought a lot of money and tickets, planning to make arrangements for the adopted son before coming back."
Su Ti knew that if she said these things, Su Nianyou would definitely think she had ulterior motives, but if her mother found out, she would definitely believe it.
Furthermore, she now has no way out, and Li Ci, who went to Beijing, is her lifeline. She will definitely try her best to cling to her.
The more they get mixed up and make a scene, the better. It would be best if Li Ci stirred things up again so that they wouldn't have to try to cause any more trouble.
"Nannan, your mother-in-law... she really went to the countryside?" Guo Xuqing was stunned by her daughter's words.
What she meant by those words was that she wanted to put Su Nianyou and her mother-in-law at odds.
"Yes, she only cares about the child she raised. She came over and scolded Baichuan. In the end, Grandpa kicked her out."
"But I know this is only temporary, and I might have to come back in the future. I think I'm doing very well now."
"Her presence would be superfluous; she should stay in the countryside and be with that fake woman."
Suti didn't mention Li Ci's nonsensical ideas; if she came back, she could imagine how lively her life would be.
She felt that since she had made her choice, she should stick to this path and stay in the countryside and never come back.
In two years, when the economy is more open and no longer letters of introduction are needed, she may wish to come back and visit.
However, there was no place for her in the Li family at that time.
"Darling, are you and Baichuan settling in well? Mommy wants to visit you. Is it convenient for you there?"
Guo Xuqing had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to begin.
From what Nannan said in just a few words, she could imagine that there must have been a huge commotion behind the scenes.
But before I could say anything, I started talking about something else. Talking is no substitute for seeing it for yourself.
"Let's wait until Chinese New Year before Baichuan and I go back." Su Ti calculated the time; once her mother had made arrangements, she could come over, but she probably wouldn't be able to stay for more than a few days before having to go back for the New Year.
And then there's Grandpa. This is a crucial time, and he can't just leave. It would be better for her and Baichuan to go back and stay for a few more days.
"That works too." Guo Xuqing thought about it. Their work arrangements would be finalized by the end of the year, and there would be a lot of things to do at the company at the end of the year.
It's difficult to get leave, and even if you do, you can't stay in Beijing for more than a few days in a rush.
“Your brother is back for the New Year and won’t leave until after the holiday. He’s very worried about you, so your return will put his mind at ease.”
Guo Xuqing was amused by the father and son who were listening intently to each other.
"Okay, Mom, you should talk to my brother. I'll go back after the New Year." Suti glanced at her watch; if she kept talking, she'd be late.
I quickly told my mother and hung up the phone.
"Why did she hang up? I haven't even said anything yet!" Su Lin hadn't asked anything when his mother hung up the phone.
"Your sister still has to go to work." Guo Xuqing noticed that the father and son were the same; they seemed like completely different people whenever they were around Nannan.
"My sister went to work?" Su Lin was almost overwhelmed by all the random messages that morning.
“Your sister will be back for the Chinese New Year. You can ask her anything then, or if you have any questions.”
Guo Xuqing checked the time; she had to go to work too.
"If you don't have anything else to do, go back and stay there. Don't forget to visit your maternal grandfather, and try to avoid visiting your maternal grandmother too often; she's busy."
Guo Xuqing looked at her silly son and felt disgusted with him after only one day.
What kind of maternal love could she possibly give? She couldn't give even a little bit.
As for Su's father standing next to her, he didn't say a word. Nowadays, telephones aren't very soundproof, and since they were so close, they must have heard everything that Nannan said.
Thinking about what Nannan had said, she needed to think carefully about who to ask to pass on the message.
Su's father and Su Lin just watched her leave, completely ignoring how anxious they were.
"I'm going to work too. You...you can go wherever you want." Su's father also left in a hurry, leaving Su Lin standing there in a daze.
He thought that when he came back, his parents would ask him if he was injured, if he was eating well, and how he was doing in the army.
No, there was nothing at all, not a single question was asked of him!
Su Lin thought of his grandparents; yes, they must miss him.
Thinking this way, he decided not to go back and instead went to keep his grandfather and the others company.
Suti thought about her brother all the way to work. She knew her brother loved the army and used to run around with paper guns he made when he was little.
As I grew older and became more sensible, I learned about my uncles' affairs, which further strengthened my resolve to join the army.
But she was discharged from the army later. She didn't think about it at the time, but now she feels that something is wrong.
Suti thought she should go back and have a good talk with her brother. Now that she's doing well, her brother shouldn't have any worries, right?
With the Li family still in charge, her brother's path should be even easier.
When they arrived at their destination, Suti prepared to get out of the car, and Xiao Liu followed him down.
"Comrade Su, I might be a little late tonight, as I need to go to the station to pick up my teacher."
Upon arriving at the Reform Department, Xiao Liu remembered the task assigned by the old marshal and informed Su Ti in advance.
Comrade Xiao Li should learn from this. This gentleman used to teach at a university, but now that the college entrance examination has been abolished, the school is in chaos, and many learned people have been sent to the countryside.
Those who remained, the truly capable ones, all kept their necks hunched and dared not peek out. The old marshal had brought in many people.
It was only after special approval from above that a teacher who was excellent in all aspects was found. The higher-ups also wanted to cultivate Comrade Xiao Li, so the approval was granted quickly.
He was going to pick someone up today and was afraid he wouldn't be able to come back in time, so he told Suti in advance.
"Okay, if it gets too late, I'll take the tram back." Suti knew from his words that he was looking for someone for Baichuan.
Baichuan really needs to start learning from scratch; this is a big deal, and Suti is very supportive of it.
After speaking with Xiao Liu, Su Ti entered the Reform Department and saw Zhu Qingling's hurried figure as soon as he entered.
"Su Ti, why are you so late? Something happened." Zhu Qingling rushed over when she saw Su Ti.
