Thinking of this, Zhang Xinlan smiled even more and kept praising Su Aimin and Qin Ying for their good taste, saying that everything they bought was to her liking.
Su Aimin: "..." What happened? He just went on a long trip, why did his second sister-in-law seem like a different person when he came back?
"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Su Qingyun thought of the beads she had bought, and quickly took them out of her bag and gave one to each of her family members. "I bought this in Hong Kong. They said it can keep me safe."
Bought in Hong Kong? The Su family's eyes lit up. Although it looked like a string of beads, it was brought back from Hong Kong. Everyone automatically added a layer of filter to this string of beads.
Wu Guixiang said carefully, "Don't worry, honey. I will always wear it with me when I go out."
"Okay." Su Qingyun replied with a smile.
Soon, Su Qingyun understood what her grandmother meant by "never leaving it behind when going out". After dinner, her grandmother went around the entire village, showing off everywhere that Su Qingyun had brought her gifts from Gangcheng, which made everyone envious.
When she came back in high spirits, Su Qingyun had no choice but to pull Wu Guixiang into her grandparents' room. Su Dalin was stuttering and reading in the room. When he saw Su Qingyun coming in, he reflexively hid the book in his hand.
"Okay, stop hiding." Wu Guixiang said, "Yunyun won't laugh at you."
Su Qingyun was a little surprised. "Grandpa, are you learning to read?" She was wondering why her grandfather had to read the newspaper by himself before. It turned out that he knew quite a few words.
"Of course not. At your grandfather's age, it's very difficult for him to learn to read and write. He even needs me to explain it to him," said Wu Guixiang.
"I'm just...learning it casually." Su Dalin felt a little embarrassed for once. He was also embarrassed to tell his family that he was still learning pinyin and reading like a child at such an old age.
"That's good." Su Qingyun thought it was good. "As long as you want to learn, it's never too late. Master, you keep learning. I'll teach you if you have any questions."
"Okay." Seeing that his granddaughter really supported him, Su Dalin smiled.
"By the way, Yunyun, why did you pull me in just now?" Wu Guixiang just remembered this.
"I have something to give you, and it's my grandfather's." The whole family was together before, so she couldn't take it out.
"What is it?" Wu Guixiang wondered. "Haven't you divided up everything you brought back? What else is there?"
Su Dalin also looked confused.
"There's more." Su Qingyun took out something from his pocket, held it in his palm, then raised his hand high, spread his five fingers, and the thin chain slid down, revealing a round object underneath.
Wu Guixiang and Su Dalin’s eyes widened instantly. This is... a pocket watch!
"Oh my goodness! Baby, where did you get this thing?" Wu Guixiang immediately closed the door tightly and said in a low voice.
"Of course I bought it." Su Qingyun smiled, "It's not expensive, grandma. I bought it from the flea market in Beijing."
"The person who sold it to me said it was a family heirloom. Look at the pattern on the back of the pocket watch. It has a turtle with a dragon and a phoenix on top. The tortoise, dragon and phoenix symbolize longevity and good fortune. You can hang it around your neck and carry it with you for protection."
She knew that her grandparents were always busy and often worked, so it was inconvenient for them to wear a bracelet. So, Su Qingyun saw her grandma take off the bracelet when she came home. It would be better for her to wear this pocket watch on her body, which was more convenient and had better meaning.
Wu Guixiang carefully touched the exquisite pattern on the back of the pocket watch and couldn't let it go. She sighed, "What a good thing." She had seen such things in the homes of wealthy landlords before, but they were not as good as this one. She didn't expect that she could use such a good thing now.
She knew in her heart that no matter how cheap this pocket watch was, it couldn't be that cheap. Yunyun said that just to make them feel at ease and accept it.
Su Dalin was also happy. Although his eyes were full of joy, he still told Su Qingyun: "Yunyun, spend less money in the future. Keep your bonuses safe. Your grandma and I don't need you to worry about anything. Don't worry."
"Your grandfather is right." Wu Guixiang also said.
She has been in control of the family for many years, and most of the money is with her. Although she doesn't save much for such a large family, as long as they don't eat lavishly every day, they don't have to worry about food and drink.
"Grandma, I have money. The prize money for this competition is huge." Su Qingyun said, holding her hand. Except for her parents, no one else in the family knew how much money she had. If she told her grandma that she had tens of thousands of yuan, she would probably be scared to death.
"I know you have it," Wu Guixiang insisted. "But no matter how much money you have, it won't last if you spend it lavishly. You don't know where you'll end up in the future, and there will be plenty of places to spend money."
Although Wu Guixiang is not well educated, she is a very far-sighted old lady, as can be seen from the fact that she sends all her children to school. Now she sees Yunyun becoming more and more successful, winning more and more awards and receiving more and more important leaders. She knows in her heart that Yunyun's future will be different from that of her three brothers. She will not be able to stay in this small village. She will go out and go very far.
If I go out, I will definitely have to set up a family business, which will cost money. If I go to a place like the capital, I don’t know how much it will cost. So, I have to be frugal and make plans in advance.
Su Qingyun was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect her grandma was still worried about her future. Her heart immediately warmed up. She hugged her grandma's arm and said coquettishly, "No matter where I go in the future, grandma, please come with me, okay?"
Wu Guixiang smiled, but still said, "If you get married and have children in the future, will the milk come with you?"
"Of course!" Su Qingyun said firmly, "No matter how old I am, I want grandma to be by my side."
"Okay, okay." Wu Guixiang agreed readily. "I'll always be with you. Wherever you go, I'll follow you. I'll be your constant follower, okay?"
"I'm not a follower!"
"Hahaha." Wu Guixiang laughed.
She raised her little granddaughter by herself, and she can't live without her.
"Cough cough." Su Dalin suddenly coughed twice.
"And I, your father, we will never separate." Su Qingyun quickly added, and Su Dalin was satisfied.
Su Qingyun really thought so. No matter whether she went to Beijing or somewhere else in the future, she wanted to keep her grandparents living with her so that they could enjoy their old age.
She will always remember that when she first arrived here, it was her grandmother's bowl of brown sugar eggs that warmed her heart. She will always remember that taste no matter when and where she is in her life.
