Chapter 395 Return to the Village
"After all, it's because our family is unlucky. If Linlin were still alive, Juan wouldn't be able to take care of us in our old age." Xu Yue'e couldn't help but think of her son and murmured, "I don't know how Linlin is doing now. I dreamed of him last night. He was crying alone in the snow and asked me why I didn't want him anymore."
Sometimes when she saw Xiao Suisui, she felt that her son had returned.
Sometimes she felt that Linlin was Xiaosuisui and she had remembered it wrong. She sometimes asked herself whether Xiaosuisui was her child.
"Second sister-in-law, let's eat and stop talking about this." Chen Guilan was afraid that Xu Yue'e would have a seizure, so she immediately changed the subject. Chen Juan understood and quickly carried Xiao Suisui to her side. "Mom, Suisui loves shrimp. You can peel the shells for her."
The two words "Linlin" are sensitive words in their family.
I dare not mention it.
"I don't want to eat shrimp. I want to eat KFC..." Xiao Suisui was watching the TV intently. She pointed at the advertisement on the TV and said, "I want to eat that."
"What the hell?" Xu Yue'e was interrupted just as she was feeling a little bit of longing for her son. She leaned forward and looked at the TV. "What's so delicious? You should eat!"
"I haven't eaten KFC yet, and you still want to." Chen Juan touched Xiao Suisui's head, "Eat well, and I'll take you to buy some after dinner."
"Really?" Xiao Suisui looked surprised.
"Really." Chen Juan just said it casually. She didn't even know where KFC was. Who in the countryside would eat that stuff?
Xiao Suisui became happy and ate her meal in big mouthfuls.
Su Jiaojiao was amused by her appearance. After not seeing her for a year, the little cousin had grown a lot taller and became more and more beautiful. She was definitely the beauty of the Chen family.
After dinner, Chen Guisheng and Chen Guilan were discussing Chen Guichang's family again. Xu Yue'e became angry when she mentioned their family: "Both of their daughters married contract workers with urban household registration. Of course, they look down on us. Our Juan found a son-in-law to take care of him in his old age, so he thinks we are bringing shame to the Chen family."
Then Xu Yue'e said to Su Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, you should find a contract worker with a city hukou in the future, so that your uncle won't think that only his daughter is capable, and the daughters of our two families can only find live-in sons-in-law."
"What's wrong with a live-in son-in-law?" Chen Guisheng said to Chen Guilan disapprovingly, "You only have one daughter, are you going to let her get married? When the time comes, you can also let Jiaojiao find a live-in son-in-law. We have a house and a store, so we are a good family."
"Let's talk about it later!" Chen Guilan smiled awkwardly. She didn't ask Su Jiaojiao to find a son-in-law, as long as she could stay in Jiao County.
But she knew she couldn't keep him.
Su Jiaojiao was suddenly named and was speechless. No matter what happens to her in the future, she will provide for her mother in her old age. What does this have to do with finding a live-in son-in-law?
A married daughter won’t be taken care of in old age?
"Dad, Jiaojiao is a college student, unlike me." Chen Juan was speechless. After all, she was young and her ideas and concepts were different from those of her elders. "Most people in the city nowadays are only children. If only daughters can find sons-in-law, what will happen to only sons?"
"We're not from the city." Chen Guisheng didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea. "Although Jiaojiao is a college student, she will have to come back in the future. With Jiaojiao's conditions, we can find anyone we want."
"Jiaojiao, don't you have a boyfriend at school?" Xu Yue'e asked. Chen Guilan quickly replied, "Why would she still be in school? No."
"Sui Sui, sister will take you out to play." Su Jiaojiao led little Sui Sui out. Originally, Chen Juan was the protagonist, but as they chatted, the topic turned to her, and she had to quickly escape from this atmosphere.
Xiao Suisui was not familiar with Su Jiaojiao, and kept looking back at Chen Juan, so Chen Juan had no choice but to take her coat and follow her.
It was still quite cold outside, so Su Jiaojiao opened the car door, let the two sisters get in, and said she would take them out for a ride.
Chen Juan was so surprised that she was speechless: "Jiao Jiao, when did you buy the car?"
When she came, she saw a car parked downstairs, but she didn't expect it to be Su Jiaojiao's.
Chen Guilan didn't mention it either.
"I bought it not long ago." Su Jiaojiao had nothing to hide from Chen Juan. "I have two stores in the capital, and it's inconvenient to take the bus, so I bought a car."
"How much does it cost?" Chen Juan was still immersed in shock, and Xiao Suisui was even more excited. She looked here and touched there, holding the rabbit doll on the back seat tightly.
"A little over 80,000." Su Jiaojiao parked the car directly in front of KFC. "Come on, let's go in and sit down."
"Oh, I just finished dinner." Chen Juan knew that Su Jiaojiao wanted to buy KFC for Xiao Suisui and refused to go. "You took what I said to comfort a child seriously."
"You can't break your promise to a child." Su Jiaojiao parked the car, picked up Xiao Suisui and led her into the house.
Chen Juan had no choice but to follow him in. The store was as warm as spring and filled with fragrance. She had never been to such a place before and was a little at a loss.
Su Jiaojiao ordered a bunch of French fries, hamburgers and fried chicken legs for Xiao Suisui. Chen Juan wanted to rush to pay, but found that she didn't have her wallet. Su Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Hurry up and sit down. I'll pay."
The two found a seat by the window and sat down. Xiao Sui Sui ate with gusto, saying it was delicious all the time. Seeing that her sister loved it, Chen Juan was reluctant to touch it and said that if she couldn't finish it, she could take it back.
Perhaps it was the change of environment. Chen Juan looked at Su Jiaojiao again and was surprised to find that she had changed. After not seeing her for a year, she looked more beautiful and more mature than before. Su Jiaojiao saw Chen Juan staring at her and smiled, "Don't you recognize me?"
"Jiaojiao, you're in school and you run two shops at the same time. You're working so hard." Chen Juan's eyes suddenly turned red. "You've helped me so much, but I can't help you..."
Although her garment factory in the village was considered a small matter by many people, she felt that the villagers had treated her much better.
After careful calculation, she made a net profit of about 15,000 yuan last year, which is higher than her income from working in the city.
"No way, I also make money from those sweatshirts of yours." Su Jiaojiao was almost overwhelmed by her. "You should keep up the good work this year and try to expand the scale a little bit and increase the quantity."
The employees of Chen Juan’s garment factory are all mothers in the village.
The staff is unstable and there is no overtime.
Su Jiaojiao didn't dare to change the styles for them. Once they did, they wouldn't be able to produce finished products for several days.
Their output in half a year was not as much as what Qi Mei's assembly line produced in a month. She didn't even expect that group of people to help her.
"I know you make jeans in Mocheng and shirts in Qimei, and you need the goods urgently. I really want to help you." Chen Juan felt very sorry. "You never asked anything of me. I feel like I'm holding you back..."
"No, you're overthinking it." Su Jiaojiao didn't expect Chen Juan to be as thoughtful as Chen Guilan, so she explained it to her. "Jeans have an extra washing process, and you don't have a washing machine, so you can't do it. I need a large quantity of shirts, and Qimei can handle it, so I don't need to give you any. Sweatshirts don't have any accessories, just a few embroidery patterns. They're simple and easy to use, and they're perfect for you."
"If you need my help in the future, just let me know." Chen Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao smiled.
Chen Juan's family stayed until the third day of the New Year and then went back. On the fourth day, the family had to entertain their future son-in-law and had to prepare in advance, so they insisted that the mother and daughter go back with them.
Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to go, they had no choice but to go.
Ever since Su Jiaojiao bought KFC for Xiao Suisui, Xiao Suisui wants to sleep with her. If she can't see her sister for a while, she will look for her everywhere.
Su Jiaojiao drove into the village and saw her grandmother Xu Yuxiang standing on the roadside talking to the old neighbor lady from a distance. She was talking a lot and still looked so energetic.
Xu Yuxiang saw a car passing by and kept staring at it: "Whose relatives are coming?"
"Why does she look like your Peacock to me?" The old neighbor lady had sharp eyes and just happened to see Su Peacock's profile.
"Impossible, how could she drive!" Xu Yuxiang felt that her eyesight was blurring. "My Xiumei can't even drive, how could she..."
