Su Qingyun followed her brother to the steel plant's staff quarters. Su Congjun's master had worked in the steel plant for more than 20 years and was a senior fitter there. His wife had also been a worker there, but later retired due to poor health, leaving her job to her daughter Wen Sisi. Naturally, the house they were allocated was not small either.
Su Congjun said as they walked, "Yunyun, you've never been to a building like this before, right? It's different from the houses in our countryside, where each has its own door or courtyard. Here, multiple families live in one building. Although it's not as spacious as ours, it's spotlessly clean everywhere. Look at these snow-white walls. Even the toilet flushes with just one button. It's so convenient."
Su Qingyun, who had seen countless skyscrapers in his later life, smiled quietly and looked at him non-stop, "Brother, are you a little nervous?"
"I'm nervous... what's there to be nervous about?" Su Congjun said a little louder. "I've been to my master's house many times. What's there to be nervous about?"
"Brother, you are sweating." Su Qingyun exposed him mercilessly. It was almost November.
Upon hearing this, Su Congjun quickly wiped his sweat. Although he had indeed been to his master's house many times, could this time be the same? This time his identity was slightly different, so he was naturally nervous.
He took a deep breath and knocked on his master's door.
"I'm coming!" Soon, a gentle and ethereal female voice sounded, and the door was opened. A girl with two shiny black braids appeared in front of Su Qingyun. Her eyes were round, and her face was pretty. She was very pleasing to the eye.
Su Qingyun instantly developed a liking for this future sister-in-law.
Wen Sisi looked at the strange girl next to Su Congjun and was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and said with a smile: "Brother Congjun, this is Qingyun, right?"
"Yes, my little sister." Su Congjun smiled innocently, "She's pretty, isn't she?"
"It looks good, but you and Brother Congjun don't look like siblings." Wen Sisi covered her mouth and smiled.
Su Congjun's eyes widened, "Why doesn't it look like that?"
"Hahahaha." Su Qingyun couldn't help but laughed out loud.
The two girls looked at each other, and Wen Sisi couldn't help but burst out laughing and fell down.
"What are you grinning at the door for?" A voice came from the inner room. "Are you here to join the army? Hurry and let someone in."
"Yes, yes, Qingyun, come in quickly." Wen Sisi greeted hurriedly.
Su Congjun followed him in confused.
"Qingyun, Brother Congjun, you guys continue chatting first. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look." Wen Sisi went into the kitchen to help.
Seeing the master sitting in the living room, he hurriedly handed over the things he brought, "Master."
Wen Kaifu raised his head and saw the large and small bags in his hands. He frowned and said, "You're here, why are you carrying so many things?"
"Uncle, please accept them. These are just little gifts from our family." Su Qingyun quickly spoke up to speak for his eldest brother.
Wen Kaifu's eyes lit up as he looked at the pretty girl. "You're the sister that Congjun mentioned that was in the newspaper, right?"
Su Qingyun felt a little helpless. How come this matter had spread to the county?
"It's me, uncle."
"Come, come, sit down." Wen Kaifu greeted her warmly.
He had heard Congjun mention several times how smart and capable this little sister of his family was. She had even been reported in the provincial newspaper and praised by the provincial government. She really looked very clever.
Wen Kaifu looked at the honest Su Congjun. The father and daughter were of the same mind. He had the same doubts as Wen Sisi. These two really didn't look like siblings.
He stood up and took the things from Su Congjun's hand. His eyes widened for a moment. Wine, honey, and mountain products, isn't this too much?
Mother Wen and Wen Sisi also came out of the kitchen. She looked at the honey in Wen Kaifu's hand and said in surprise, "This honey looks really good. Is it wild?"
"Aunt, you really know what's good. This honey was specially obtained by my uncle from the mountains. It's good for your health if you soak it in water. You must drink more." Su Qingyun spared no effort to improve the favorability of his family.
Mother Wen looked at her lovingly. She had just heard from her daughter that this younger sister from the Congjun family was smart, sensible and pretty. Now that she saw her, it was true!
Su Qingyun added: "These mountain products are also good for your health. You can eat them first. If you like them, you can ask Big Brother to bring them to you next time."
Mother Wen took her hand and said with a smile, "I'm so sorry to bother you!" Honey and mountain products are not easy to get, and the Su family sent so much.
She and her husband looked at each other and understood each other. The Su family was so eager to send gifts, they knew what they meant. As a soldier, she was down-to-earth and hardworking, and her husband liked this apprentice, and she also thought it was good. However, because of the Su family's financial situation, she was a little hesitant, afraid that Sisi would suffer if she married him.
But now it seems that the Su family's attitude is at least very good, and Wen's mother also has some good feelings towards them.
"Sister Sisi, this is a gift my brother picked for you. Do you like it?" Su Qingyun took out the silver chain.
Wen Sisi's eyes widened, "And mine?"
"Of course!"
Wen Sisi took the chain. It was small and delicate, not at all ostentatious. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She put it on her neck in a few seconds, but...
"Did Brother Congjun pick this out?" She doubted whether Brother Congjun could have such high aesthetic standards.
Su Congjun touched his nose guiltily.
Wen Sisi didn't expose him, "Thank you, Brother Congjun, and... so on."
During this period of time, her way of addressing her changed. Mother Wen was in poor health, and Wen Sisi was a rare only child in that era. She had always wanted to have a younger brother or sister, and Su Qingyun perfectly met her imagination.
