She raised the three nephews of the Su family since they were young. They were no different from her own sons. She was happy from the bottom of her heart to see them get married and have children.
"Children! Go wash your hands! Dinner is almost ready!"
Han Wenying finished cooking and called into the living room.
Xiaojie acted like an uncle, taking the three little ones to wash their hands like a little adult.
"Guo'er, I want to ask you for a favor, is it okay with you?"
Looking at Xiaojie helping his nephews wash their hands obediently, Su Guoyu frowned, but still spoke to Lan Guoer.
Xiaojie's vocal teacher praised Xiaojie to her more than once, saying that he was very talented in music and a rare musical genius!
The teacher believes that the electronic organ that Xiaojie is currently practicing can no longer meet his talent and potential. In comparison, the piano is more suitable for him.
But she had inquired and found out that most of the better pianos were imported and almost impossible to buy in China!
She was really at her wit's end, and she didn't want to delay the birth of her child! So, she had no choice but to ask Lan Guo'er for help.
Seeing that Su Guoyu, who was usually very open and confident, suddenly seemed to be hesitant to speak, Lan Guoer thought that something big had happened and became a little anxious!
"Aunt, what happened? If you have something to say, just tell me. Don't hide it from me!"
"Nothing happened! It's not a big deal! Don't worry," Su Guoyu held her hand to comfort her, then said,
"I want you to ask your third uncle for me. He's well-informed and experienced abroad. Can he help me buy a piano?"
"Piano? Is it Xiaojie who wants to use it?"
When Lan Guoer heard about this, she let out a long sigh and her tense nerves relaxed instantly.
"Um!"
Su Guoyu nodded and repeated the vocal teacher's original words to her.
Lan Guoer thought about it.
She has a STW commemorative grand piano in her space, which has excellent tone and expressiveness.
But that piano would be considered a top-tier item in the future, so showing it off now would be a bit too ostentatious! Furthermore, Xiao Nuan seemed quite interested in piano, and when they were in the space, Lan Guoer would occasionally teach the little girl to practice.
"Leave it to me! I'll talk to my third uncle and ask him to find a way to get the platform here."
In this era, although domestic literature and art are lagging behind, they are still developing rapidly abroad. Buying a piano is not a difficult thing, but the trouble is how to transport it!
However, with the Third Master's connections, Lan Guo'er didn't think this would be difficult for him and agreed immediately.
When Su Guoyu heard that this was possible, his eyes immediately lit up!
"How can I thank him for this? You must thank your third uncle on my aunt's behalf!"
"I will! Don't worry too much, aunt. We are all family. It's just a matter of helping out!" Lan Guoer saw that she was embarrassed and comforted her.
"As a mother, you are really willing to sacrifice for your child!" Han Wenying smiled and served the dishes to the table, interrupting,
"I heard that an imported piano costs thousands of dollars! I'm afraid this will empty your pockets, right?
Do you have enough money? If not, don’t force yourself to keep going. Remember to ask me and your brother for more! "
"Enough, enough!" Su Guoyu helped to serve the dishes neatly.
"Don't forget, when I jumped out of that miserable well at Old Wang's house, I brought back tens of thousands of dollars! It's still enough money to buy a piano!
As long as the child has a promising future, what does it matter if I spend some money? I think it’s worth it!
"Mom! Are you talking about buying me a piano?"
Xiao Jie walked to the table at this time, frowned slightly, looked at Su Guoyu, and his eyes flashed slightly.
Su Guoyu and Lan Guoer had a conversation just now without avoiding others, and he heard everything.
He loves music and piano, of course, but he also knows how expensive and rare a piano is!
There is not even one at the teacher's home! Every time he is taught, he has to go to the group, and when the group is not needed, he is given the opportunity to practice.
But there was only one piano in the entire art troupe, so how could it be idle often? He hadn't touched the piano for a week!
But his mother actually wanted to buy a piano for him!
How much will that cost?
Mom was willing to take him in and raise him! It was already very difficult and hard! How could he bear to let Mom spend more money!
He was reluctant! He refused!
"Mom, don't buy it! Xiaojie doesn't want to practice piano anymore! The teacher said Xiaojie has a good voice! He will have a bright future as a singer!"
"Silly boy!" Su Guoyu rubbed his head.
The mother and son have been together for so long, she naturally sees what he is thinking. This child is so sensible that sometimes it makes her feel distressed!
"They say having too many skills is always a blessing! Who would complain about having too many skills? As long as you're willing to learn and put your heart into it, Mom will support you completely! Mom is also looking forward to you bringing honor to her in the future!"
Don't worry about money! Mom has a salary and savings, which is enough for the two of us!"
Xiao Jie seemed to see that Su Guoyu was determined, so he lowered his eyes and nodded, clenching his little fists hanging at his sides tightly, as if he had made some kind of decision!
The lunch was very sumptuous and suited everyone’s appetite!
If Lan Guoer hadn't stopped him, the old man would have drunk too much!
"Auntie Han, you are really a hidden talent!
"I didn't expect your cooking skills are so good! You're as good as the chefs in state-owned restaurants!" Lan Guoer praised.
"If it suits your taste, come back often! Auntie Han will cook different dishes for you."
Han Wenying was happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw that the children liked the food she cooked.
In this era of food shortages, what do ordinary people want in life? Isn't it just to have enough food and clothing for the family, and live in harmony and happiness?
Lan Guoer had just put down her chopsticks when she saw Tang Zhan frowning and saying to her in a very serious tone,
"Guo'er, something seems to have happened at Mr. Meng's place! Do you want to go over and take a look?"
"Something happened?"
Lan Guoer was startled at first, but then she remembered the man's extraordinary hearing and immediately reacted.
"What's the matter? Is Grandpa Meng okay?"
As she spoke, she began to put on her clothes and scarf, and she couldn't wait to rush over.
"Don't be anxious!" Tang Zhan said, seeing her impatient look,
"Mr. Meng is full of energy and should be fine! It's just that the old lady he was arguing with was a bit difficult and seemed quite unreasonable."
Lan Guoer probably guessed who the visitor was!
With Mr. Meng's current status, who else could be so rude to him? Only his ex-wife, Mrs. Ding!
Last time, it was this old lady Ding who made old man Meng so angry that he passed out!
She was there at the time and witnessed the whole incident. She also felt deeply the cunning and difficult nature of the old lady.
Now, this old lady Ding has come to make trouble again. She must have come prepared and will not give up until she achieves her goal! Thinking of this, Lan Guoer couldn't help but feel a headache...
They say marry a virtuous woman! Why did Mr. Meng marry her in the first place?
