After lunch, the whole family has the habit of taking a nap to get enough rest before going to work in the afternoon.
There are seven rooms in the Su family, one for the two old people, one for each of the three sons and daughters-in-law, and one for Su Aijun and his three brothers. Su Qingyun is the only one in the family who lives alone in a room. After all, she is a girl and cannot squeeze in with her parents.
However, although it is a separate room, it is actually just a partition in her parents' room. The extra room is newly built, and Su Aijun will move in after getting married.
Looking at the scorching sun outside, Su Qingyun gave up the idea of ​​strolling around the village and walked into the house. The partitioned house was not soundproof, and she could easily hear her parents' muttering. She leaned in to listen.
She heard her mother's worried voice, "Ai Min, my second sister-in-law must have suspected us after what she said today. Our lie may not hold up for much longer. What do you think we should do about this?"
Lie? Su Qingyun had a question mark in his head.
"What's the point of doubting her? She has no evidence. Don't worry." Su Aimin said nonchalantly, "Ignore her. Take a look at this first. This is what I brought you."
"Valve cream?" Qin Ying exclaimed, "Where did you get it?"
Su Aimin was very proud, "It's the best vanishing cream in Haishi. We can't find this kind of stuff here."
"How much did it cost?" Qin Ying felt distressed. "This is not how we spend our money!"
"It's okay, I don't feel bad about it. I don't feel bad even if I give it to my wife. Look at your face, you work every day, it's not as white and tender as before, you have to apply it well."
"Okay, Su Aimin, you dislike me now, right?" Qin Ying pretended to be angry.
"No way, I'm being wronged." Su Aimin complained.
The two were playing around when Su Aimin turned around and saw his daughter's sneaky little head. He waved, "Yunyun, close the door and come here."
Su Qingyun closed the door obediently and walked over.
Su Aimin took something out of his bag mysteriously, "Yunyun, look, what good thing did Dad bring back for you?"
Su Qingyun's eyes widened. "Watch?"
In front of her is a ladies' watch with a light pink strap and a round dial. This small and exquisite watch doesn't look cheap at first glance. Where did her father get it from?
"Didn't you say before that you wanted a watch? Dad got it for you. Your grandma was here this morning, so I couldn't give it to you. Try it on and see if you like it." Su Aimin handed it to her like a treasure.
"Why do you spend so much money?" Qin Ying didn't even know that this watch existed.
"It's okay, it's not much money."
Su Qingyun's eyes darkened. She remembered that the original owner had told her father that she wanted a watch, but that was not for herself, but for that scumbag Lin Jianfeng.
The original owner had lived better than other girls of the same age in the village since she was a child. She had more food to eat than other girls of the same age in the village. Although the clothes she wore were not very beautiful in style, she had never worn patched clothes. You have to know that the clothes of the children in the village were passed down from brothers and sisters in the whole family and were taken turns to wear.
The main reason why Lin Jianfeng fell in love with the original owner was because of this. Ever since the two of them became close, he would occasionally try to get things from the original owner in a roundabout way. First, it was food, then some items like paper and pens. Finally, his appetite grew bigger and bigger, and he told the original owner in both open and covert ways that he wanted a watch.
In this day and age, an ordinary watch costs at least several dozen yuan. You should know that an ordinary worker's salary is only a few dozen yuan nowadays. Lin Jianfeng is really asking for too much.
The original owner, who was so naive, turned around and mentioned it to her father.
Looking at Su Aimin's earnest eyes, Su Qingyun's heart softened. She saw the family's conditions and wondered how much effort her father had put in to get this watch?
"There was originally a club-shaped piece that would suit you better, but Dad doesn't have enough money. I'll buy it for you next time." Su Aimin felt a little regretful.
Plum brand watches are a famous brand nowadays, and one costs almost a hundred yuan.
"No, Dad, I just like this one. It suits me best. Look."
She put the watch on her wrist, and the thin light pink strap made her skin look even whiter.
"It's really beautiful." Qin Ying praised, and did not say that Su Aimin was spending money indiscriminately. After all, he was spending it on his daughter, so she did not feel bad.
Su Qingyun said happily: "Thank you, Dad, I like it very much."
Since the original owner is gone and she has come here again, from today on, she is the real Su Qingyun.
Don't worry, I will take good care of your family.
After saying this in her heart, Su Qingyun felt inexplicably relieved. She then realized that this might be some obsession left in the body by the original owner. Now that she had received her assurance, the obsession naturally dissipated.
"Yunyun, Dad is telling you, you only need to wear this watch when no one is around, but you must never let outsiders see it, okay?" Su Aimin whispered.
Su Qingyun blinked, "I understand, Dad. Good things should be appreciated quietly."
In the past, whenever Su Aimin brought back something good for her, he would always tell her not to let anyone else know. The original owner was simple-minded and didn't think much about it, but Su Qingyun now feels that there must be some hidden secret.
"Be good." Su Aimin touched his daughter's head and looked at her smiling face, and his heart finally settled down.
Su Qingyun returned to his room, sat on the bed, stroking his chin and thinking. Snow cream, watches, these good things are not something that their family can easily get.
Just now during the meal, she was still wondering, her mother said with certainty that her parents had sent subsidies, but the original owner, who was their daughter, had never seen a letter from her grandparents.
Qin Ying is actually not from this village. She was one of the first educated youth to respond to the country's call and go to the countryside to support rural construction. She was a high school graduate and came from a scholarly family. She came to Luoshui Village as an educated youth and fell in love with her father unknowingly. Then they got married and gave birth to her. So many years have passed, and she hasn't heard much about her grandparents.
