Chapter 232 Taking in Su Pandi
Zhang Guifang walked away cursing.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned. Is there something wrong with this Second Aunt? Isn't she a woman herself? Why is she treating Pan Di so badly?
"Okay, stop looking. It's someone else's family affair, and it's not good for outsiders like us to interfere too much."
Although Liu Cuilan felt sorry for Su Pandi, he was an outsider after all. Looking at Zhang Guifang's character, she was afraid that if she interfered too much, she would only get herself into trouble.
As soon as it got dark, Liu Cuilan drove her two little brothers, who had not finished watching TV, back to the house to sleep.
"What time is it? Why are you still here? I haven't seen you two so focused on your studies. Go back to your room and get some sleep."
After scolding the two men back into the house, she called out to Su Xiaoxiao and Su Wenbing.
"Big brother, third brother, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
The two of them came back in response.
The three of them sat around the table.
Liu Cuilan cleared her throat and said, "Let's make it short. It's really a waste of electricity."
This electric light is not like a kerosene lamp. If it is too bright, you can pinch it off and light it up.
Liu Cuilan first looked at Su Wenbing: "Wenbing, when you go back to work tomorrow, you must maintain good relationships with your leaders and colleagues. I think you've probably been tripped up by someone right now. Be more alert and don't be so naive."
This eldest son is good in every way except that he is too honest and obedient, which makes people worry.
Su Wenbing nodded: "Don't worry, Mom, I understand."
Liu Cuilan then turned to Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Third brother, I've discussed this with your eldest brother. You're old enough to find a husband. What kind of family do you want? I'll ask someone to arrange something for you."
Su Xiaoxiao just picked up the enamel pot and took a sip, and almost sprayed it on Su Wenbing's face.
"Ahem...Mom, I'm still young, there's no need to rush."
The two older young men in the family haven't even talked about wives yet, so why is her mother just picking on her?
"If I were to ask you, that Captain Zhou from last time was pretty good. He's good-looking, an official, and generous..."
Before she finished, Su Xiaoxiao stretched and yawned, "Mom, I have to go to work tomorrow, and you and Sister Zhaodi have to go to the cafeteria. Let's talk about this later."
After saying that, he slipped away without hesitation.
"This girl! She hides when this matter is mentioned. Isn't it just a matter of time?"
Liu Cuilan looked at Su Wenbing again: "Big brother, you and the second brother are not young anymore, this marriage..."
Su Wenbing stood up quickly: "Mom, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the bathroom. You should go to bed early. This light is so bright and it wastes so much electricity."
After saying that, the person disappeared.
Liu Cuilan: “…”
It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuchs are. They are about to become old maids and old men, so why are they not in a hurry to get married?
Su Xiaoxiao returned to the house and lay on the kang, thinking about her trip to the Red Star Garment Factory the next day.
She has already drawn the pattern of the clothes in the past two days and is waiting to produce them.
She had a good foundation in art, and with so many ready-made clothing styles available nowadays, it was no problem for her to design any one of them.
She designed one set for men and one set for women.
They are all blue suits.
The men's style is similar to the current suit and trousers, while the women's style is a suit on the upper body and a pleated skirt on the lower body, which is beautiful and fashionable.
She put the drawn drawings in her bag and planned to take them to the garment factory the next day.
After a good night's sleep, she got up early the next day, had breakfast at home and then went to work.
As I pushed my bike out of the door, I was startled by a thin shadow squatting at the door.
When I looked up, I found that there was a person huddled at the door. The person was curled up on the ground with his face buried in his arms. There were obvious nail marks on his exposed thin arms.
Hearing the voice, the man raised his head: "Cousin."
It turned out to be Su Pandi.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly propped up the car and walked over to help her: "Why are you sleeping here?"
Su Pandi's face turned pale as he shook his head. "I didn't get anything yesterday, and I didn't finish the work in the fields, so my mother kicked me out."
Seeing that she looked like a pitiful stray cat, Su Xiaoxiao's heart moved and she hurriedly brought her into the house.
Liu Cuilan and Xu Zhaodi were teasing Xiao Shitou while discussing today's dishes in the cafeteria. They were stunned when they saw Su Pandi.
Su Xiaoxiao explained what happened, and Su Pandi stood nervously beside her.
Liu Cuilan said: "Okay, there is nothing for you to do here, hurry up and go to work, don't be late."
Su Xiaoxiao then remembered that time was indeed almost up.
She hurried out, saying to Liu Cuilan as she walked, "Mom, we don't need to worry about food at home, so why don't we let Pan Di stay with us first? If we send him back, that wicked family will definitely abuse him."
Su Pandi also looked at Liu Cuilan with anticipation. There was no place for her in that family. She slept in the pigsty at home, was not well fed and clothed every day, and lived worse than the livestock in the family.
Liu Cuilan looked at her and said, "Well...your parents are still alive. It wouldn't be nice for us to keep you here without permission."
Su Pandi's eyes turned red, and he knelt down to Liu Cuilan again: "Aunt, I eat very little, and I can work. Can you keep me?"
Xu Zhaodi, standing nearby, advised, "Auntie, let her stay. She can take care of Little Shitou while we're busy, and I can pay her a salary."
Although the two of them were cooperating in contracting the canteen, Xu Zhaodi insisted on splitting the profits 30% to 70%, with Liu Cuilan getting 70% and her getting 30%.
However, apart from buying food and daily necessities for Xiao Shitou, she basically doesn't spend much, and she has saved some money during this period of time.
Faced with this little girl whose experience was very similar to hers, she really wanted to help.
Liu Cuilan sighed and looked at Su Pandi: "Pandi, you can come with us to work in the cafeteria, help out when it's busy, and help take care of Xiao Shitou. I'll give you fifteen yuan a month. What do you think?"
Fifteen dollars is not a small amount.
Su Pandi nodded without hesitation: "Aunt, I don't want money, just give me something to eat, and I'm willing to go."
On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao just arrived at the department store and heard that a batch of seafood had arrived today, and she was immediately excited.
After coming here, she hasn't eaten fresh seafood for a long time.
Fortunately, she had a lot of money on her. After counting it, she found that it should be enough to buy ten or eight kilograms of seafood.
Zhang Dongmei came over at this time, and seeing her raised her chin, she snorted coldly: "Don't even think about borrowing tickets from me this time."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Su Xiaoxiao standing sideways in front of her, and she was immediately startled.
"You...what are you doing? I told you not to mess around. It's working hours now and everyone is watching us."
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. She counted out a few banknotes and stuffed them into Zhang Dongmei's pockets: "I'll give you the ticket from last time."
After stuffing a few tickets into her arms, Su Xiaoxiao turned and left.
Zhang Dongmei didn't expect that she was so rich, and she became even more angry.
She returned to the counter angrily, and just as she was standing there, she heard someone say, "Comrade Su, the general manager wants to see you."
