Chapter 126 Chapter 126 A reunion dinner on New Year's Eve (Part 2)
Su Tianli, her father, her brother, and Cheng Yu all stood up.
Su Tiancai had already rushed to the door quickly, and as soon as he opened the door he shouted excitedly: "Third sister——"
After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Su Tiancai was stunned, "Wang Hongmei...?"
Everyone was stunned.
——What? Not Su Qianzi?
Su Tiancai blocked the door, so no one could see the person standing outside.
But Wang Hongmei's voice came, "Acai, do you have salt at home? I'm here to borrow some salt from you."
This time, everyone gave up.
Su Tianli sat back on the sofa and glanced at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu looked innocent and quickly sat down with Su Tianli, squeezing her tightly.
Su Tiancai held his breath.
First, because Wang Hongmei ruined his good mood,
First, he could always sense Wang Hongmei's hostility towards his family and his second sister.
So he said to Wang Hongmei unhappily: "Wang Hongmei, it's New Year's Day, and you don't even have salt to cook at home?"
"Today I lend you salt, will you come to my house to borrow rice and pork tomorrow?"
"Besides, you live on the first floor, and I live on the third floor... Why do the neighbors on the first floor hate your family so much that they won't even lend you salt? Do they have to make you move to the third floor?"
"I tell you, I have salt at home, but I don't want to lend it to you!"
"goodbye!"
After saying that, Su Tiancai slammed the door shut.
Wang Hongmei: ...
Su Tiancai slammed the door angrily, his mouth flat with grievance.
Su Dejun was a rough man who never cared about the twists and turns. He just felt strange and asked his son, "If someone comes to borrow salt, just give her a spoonful... How can you cook without salt during the New Year?"
Su Tiancai glanced at Su Tianli and said to Su Dejun, "You are the only one who believes that her family has no salt!"
Su Dejun: ???
"If she doesn't want to lend it, then don't lend it. Don't scold her. We are just neighbors after all!" Su Dejun muttered again.
Su Tiancai couldn't help but burst out, "Dad! You don't understand anything at all!"
"You still live in this family compound every day. Don't you hear Wang Hongmei always slandering my second sister?"
After these words were spoken, Su Tianli and Cheng Yu looked at each other.
Su Dejun was also stunned. "Your second sister is so outstanding. In our courtyard, no matter who mentions her, everyone will give her a thumbs up. Who would slander her?"
Su Tiancai was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "I haven't been back for more than a month. I heard about it as soon as I came back yesterday!"
"Wang Hongmei said that my sister is not serious and paints her eyebrows and lips every day! She is jealous of my sister's good looks. How could my sister wear makeup? How could she wear makeup? She is ugly and hates my sister for being beautiful!"
"She also said that my sister is not worthy of Brother Cheng Yu! She said that Brother Cheng Yu is the son of a high-ranking official, and that my sister is the daughter of a porter, and that her parents are divorced, so she is not worthy of Brother Cheng Yu in any way!"
"Wang Hongmei even personally attacked my sister. She said my sister went to the Northwest... She also said there were no women on the farms in the Northwest, only men. She said my sister hadn't contacted her family for several years because she had been a prostitute in the Northwest for five years!"
Su Tianli frowned.
Cheng Yu was so angry that he stood up and clenched his hands into fists.
Even Su Dejun was so angry that he was gasping for breath.
Later, Su Tiancai was so angry that his eyes turned red. "My classmate told me this quietly!"
"I just hate that I didn't see Wang Hongmei say it with my own eyes!"
"If I had heard it with my own ears, I would have beaten her to death!"
Su Dejun scolded his son, "Why didn't you slap her twice just now? Go ahead and hit her! If you hit her, your father will take care of it for you! That damn bitch has the nerve to come to our house to borrow salt, I'll lend her a damn thing!"
Su Tianli heard her father's scolding so harshly that she glared at him.
Su Dejun shut up awkwardly and went to sulk aside.
Su Tianli looked at Cheng Yu again;
Cheng Yu had no expression on his face.
After a moment of deep thought, the rough Su Dejun suddenly came to his senses and asked Su Tianli, "Sister, why did Wang Hongmei make up such a dirty rumor about you?"
After saying that, Su Dejun looked at Cheng Yu suspiciously.
Cheng Yu hurriedly explained, "Uncle Jun, I met Wang Hongmei for the first time yesterday."
In fact, Su Dejun still trusts Cheng Yu very much.
Firstly, Cheng Yu was with Lizhi all day long, so he had no chance to mess around outside;
Secondly, Cheng Yu and Lizhi are both very busy people and have no time to mess around outside.
so? ? ?
Are these all rumors and things made up by Wang Hongmei out of thin air?
At this time——
There was another knock on the door.
“Knock knock knock—”
But this time, no one was willing to open the door.
After a while, Su Tiancai asked cautiously: "...Who is it?"
"Dad! Brother, open the door! I'm Su Qianzi!"
This time, everyone's eyes lit up!
Su Tiancai then opened the door and was stunned.
After a long while, he finally cried out in tears, "Third sister!"
Then she hugged the person and cried.
Su Tianli and Su Dejun also hurried over and saw it as expected - Su Qianzi.
Su Qianzi looked exhausted. She was carrying a large backpack, a big bundle on her arm, and a net bag in her hand, which was filled with various small items.
After not seeing her for a few years, Su Qianzi has changed a lot.
Her hair was dry and yellow, her skin was rough and dark red;
The clothes she was wearing were old and ragged;
The shoes on her feet were also tattered, with her toes sticking out...
But she has a good foundation after all, so even if her skin is dark and rough, she is still pretty.
Su Qianzi stared blankly at her father, sister, and brother, and greeted them one by one, "Dad! Sister, brother!"
When she went to the countryside three years ago, her brother Su Tiancai was still a child.
Now?
A-di is already a beautiful boy!
He was fair and clean, and seemed to have grown taller all of a sudden, thin but well-proportioned.
However, his appearance has not changed much.
Her face is chubby and her facial features are still very childish.
Her father was a rough and sturdy man with a sad face three years ago.
Now?
I don't know why, but the anger in my father's eyes has diminished.
He seemed to be a little whiter, and his temperament was actually... somewhat gentle?
Finally, Su Qianzi's gaze fell on Su Tianli.
Is this her biological sister whom she hasn't seen for five years and whose whereabouts are unknown?
In Su Qianzi's memory, her second sister was thin, dark and short five years ago.
She always frowned, wore old clothes that her mother had discarded and didn't fit her, tied an apron around her waist, and was always busy...
But my second sister is completely different now!
Su Qianzi looked at Su Tianli.
She saw that Su Tianli was wearing a pair of apricot-colored trousers with a strong drape and a white shirt. In addition to the shirt, she was also wearing an apricot-colored hand-knitted wool vest. Her long, shiny black hair was braided into a beautiful, fluffy pigtail, with the ends of her hair casually draped over her chest.
She also saw that Su Tianli seemed to have grown taller, about 1.63 or 1.65 meters, with delicate and fair skin, and a beautiful face like...
For a moment, Su Qianzi couldn't think of a description.
In short, this second sister should be the most beautiful, fashionable and elegant young girl Su Qianzi has ever seen.
Su Tianli had already walked to Su Qianzi's side, helping her unload all the luggage, and then hugged the skinny Su Qianzi, "Sister, you are finally back!"
Su Qianzi also hugged her sweet and soft sister, her eyes reddened, "Second sister, I haven't heard from you for a long time..."
"I know, I know everything." Su Tianli said softly.
Su Qianzi choked up and said, "It was only when Tan Weiming wrote to me that I knew you were back alive... Then I quickly applied to return to the city, and it took me half a year!"
Su Tianli smiled and patted her back, "As long as you're back, it's good."
Su Qianzi's excitement slowly calmed down, and she said embarrassedly: "Sister, please let me go. I've been sitting in the car for two days and I stink..."
Su Tianli smiled and said, "No matter how smelly she is, she is still my sister!"
Su Qianzi chuckled and smiled with tears in her eyes.
Su Dejun asked at a loss, "Sister, do you want to eat first or take a shower and change clothes? Brother, pour your sister a glass of water..."
Su Tianli smiled and pulled Cheng Yu over, introducing him to Su Qianzi, "Sister, this is my boyfriend Cheng Yu, and he will spend the New Year with us this year."
Cheng Yu blushed and glanced at Su Tianli before greeting Su Qianzi with a smile, "Sister, I'm Cheng Yu. Do you remember me? I also went to the Zidi Primary School for a few years."
Only then did Su Qianzi begin to look Cheng Yu up and down.
I have to say, Cheng Yu is really handsome!
He was wearing black trousers and a white shirt, and he and my second sister looked so good together!
"Brother Cheng!" Su Qianzi smiled and shook hands with Cheng Yu. "To be honest, I don't remember much about my childhood... but it's not too late to get to know you now!"
As she was talking, Su Qianzi suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I just met Wang Hongmei downstairs. She said she wanted to borrow salt from our house and asked me to send it down to her..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Su family members all darkened.
Su Dejun rushed out in anger, but did not walk far. Instead, he ran to the stairs and shouted, "Wang Meihong on the first floor, I'm XXX! You're out of salt, so you're thinking about my salt? Are you XXX cheap? Don't I know what you're thinking? Put your XXX thoughts aside. You still want to borrow the salt from my house. Why don't you go and eat X..."
As he was cursing, Su Dejun recalled what he had just heard from his son, that Wang Hongmei had slandered his daughter Huang Yao for no reason. He became even more angry and imitated her, "...You got used to eating XX when you were sent to the countryside to work in the production team, right? You got XX thoughts when you saw so many men in my room! I tell you, if you are so cheap, you shouldn't have come back..."
Su Qianzi was stunned.
She hurriedly grabbed Su Tianli's hand and said, "Sister, what is Dad doing? He is just borrowing some money from us..."
Su Tianli comforted her, "Don't worry about it."
Su Tiancai said angrily: "Yes, Third Sister, just don't worry about it... Don't worry, our father was right to scold her!"
Su Qianzi had no idea what was going on.
However, Su Qianzi was urged by Su Tianli to take a shower and wash her hair.
Su Dejun didn't go downstairs either, but just stood in the corridor cursing.
Today is New Year’s Eve!
Apart from those who bring their children back to their hometowns in the countryside to celebrate the New Year,
Basically every family is reunited at home as they should be.
Su Dejun cursed for so long and so loudly that everyone in the corridor could hear it.
Some people couldn't stand it and advised Su Dejun, "Old Su, Wang Hongmei is a young girl after all, don't scold her so harshly."
Su Dejun was furious, "She has bullied me. I don't care if she is a young girl or a king!"
The man advised, "I just want to borrow some salt from you..."
Su Dejun, "What is she borrowing? This girl is full of bad intentions, and she's always targeting my children!"
As soon as these words came out,
The man didn't dare to speak and looked at Su Dejun in shock.
In fact, in Su Dejun's eyes, his children are all children.
Cheng Yu is his second daughter's boyfriend, and he's also an orphan with both parents. Shouldn't he take better care of him?
So Cheng Yu was basically his child.
But such words, when heard by neighbors, had another meaning:
Among Lao Su's children, except for the fourth child who is a minor of fifteen or sixteen years old and can still be called a child, the rest of Lao Su's children are all grown young girls!
so? ? ?
What Old Su means is: Wang Hongmei wants to get his son Su Tiancai?
Oh my god!
Wang Hongmei is about 22 or 23 years old. She is a young woman of marriageable age.
But Su Tiancai is only fifteen years old. In particular, this boy has not grown up at all. Although he has a half-adult body, his face is still that of a childish baby!
How could Wang Hongmei have thought of having an affair with such a teenage boy?
What a beast!
Su Dejun stood in the corridor and cursed for 20 to 30 minutes.
From the beginning, every household quietly opened the door and eavesdropped.
They stood at the doorsteps of every household and whispered to Su Dejun, telling him that as a grown man, he should not argue with a young girl.
After hearing clearly what Su Dejun was cursing, and hearing the children and young people in the family whispering that the reason why Su Dejun cursed so harshly was because Wang Hongmei had fabricated the dirty rumor about Su Tianli,
Every household closed their doors and stopped trying to persuade Su Dejun or sympathize with Wang Hongmei.
From the first floor came the voice of Wang Hongmei's mother scolding Wang Hongmei angrily.
The sound of Wang Hongmei's father beating Wang Hongmei violently,
And the sound of Wang Hongmei crying...
Only then did Su Dejun stop cursing with satisfaction, went home and closed the door.
At this moment, the children in the family are busy.
Cheng Yu and Su Tiancai were busy heating up the dishes;
Su Qianzi was urged by Su Tianli to go to the bathroom to take a shower and wash her hair. Su Tianli stood guard at the bathroom door. While A-mei was taking a shower, she recounted everything about the conflict between her family and Wang Hongmei.
Su Qianzi was so angry that she cursed Wang Hongmei as a bad person while taking a bath, and she also blamed her father for not scolding Wang Hongmei lightly...
Half an hour later, Su Qianzi took a shower and washed her hair, and put on the clothes that Su Tianli had specially prepared for her - from underwear to home sportswear, all were brand new!
Yes, ever since Su Tianli heard that her sister was coming back to celebrate the New Year, she quickly dragged Yao Meiyu shopping, bought several sets of clothes for her sister, and brought them back to wash and dry.
However, after not seeing her for five years, Su Tianli had no idea what her sister looked like, her height, weight, or figure.
So she prepared almost all basic items.
The underwear is made of pure cotton and is very soft;
The home clothes I wear at home are also soft sports sets, one set is dark blue and the other is maroon, and two sets are prepared.
I also prepared two long-sleeved shirts and two short-sleeved shirts for my sister, in two white, one light blue and one pink;
A pair of dark grey carrot pants with elastic waist, a dark blue knee-length pleated skirt with elastic waist,
I prepared two coats: one is a dark blue hand-knitted cardigan sweater, and the other is a light grey suit jacket;
I also prepared half a dozen pairs of pure cotton socks.
As for shoes, Su Tianli remembered that her sister had the same size 7 feet as her, so she only prepared a pair of size 7 white sneakers for her sister, thinking that if they fit her sister's feet, she would let her wear them, and if they didn't fit, she would go to Dadadi Night Market to buy some.
The reason why Su Tianli made such careful preparations was,
This is because the supply and marketing cooperatives are closed during the Spring Festival. As for the Dadadi Night Market, according to Yao Meiyu, it will generally not reopen until after the seventh day of the first lunar month.
So, if she doesn't prepare for her sister,
My sister can only wear old clothes during the New Year.
Su Tianli herself was an educated youth who returned to the city, so she certainly knew what the situation was like for them.
Now that Su Qianzi had changed into sportswear, she looked much more energetic.
Su Tianli felt distressed when she looked at her sister's old clothes - her underwear had been washed so thin that it was as thin as a cicada's wing and was full of gauze, and her underwear was covered with patches!
Su Qianzi felt a little embarrassed when she saw her sister staring at her old clothes, "Sister, I..."
"Throw it away!" Su Tianli said generously, "Sister, I have prepared new clothes for you... Come and have a look, there are enough clothes for you to change. After work and business start, we will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see what clothes you like and buy them."
So, Su Qianzi saw the new clothes that her sister had prepared for her.
Every piece of clothing is really of good quality.
The style is really nice too.
Su Qianzi's eyes turned red.
"Sister, I thought——"
Having said this, Su Qianzi choked up and couldn't continue.
Su Tianli knew it very well.
——If Tian Xiu and Su Youzi are still the ones in charge of this family, then Su Qianzi will be destined to be a slave once she comes back.
How could it be like now, when she comes back, her family will prepare some beautiful new clothes for her and she can have a ready-made, hot and sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner?
At this time, Su Dejun urged from the side: "Are you two ready? Come over to eat quickly. It's almost eight o'clock now! I'm hungry!"
Su Tianli then smiled and took Su Qianzi's hand and walked into the living room.
Su Qianzi looked at the delicious food on the table in surprise, "Has our family become rich?"
How is it possible to eat so well?
Su Dejun: "Yes, it's rich!"
Su Qianzi was stunned.
Su Tiancai said with a smile: "Third sister, you don't know, since the second sister came back, our family... has undergone tremendous changes!"
Su Tianli asked Su Qianzi, "Did mom and elder sister write to you?"
Su Qianzi nodded.
Su Tianli smiled.
No wonder, when A-mei came back, she never asked her mother and elder sister.
So she knew that her mother and elder sister were not at home!
Su Dejun and Su Tiancai also asked,
"Third brother, what did your mother and your eldest sister say to you?"
"Third sister, did they say something bad about us?"
Su Qianzi walked aside, took out a few letters from her bag, and handed them to Su Dejun, "Here, these are the letters they wrote to me..."
Then she suddenly remembered that her father was illiterate, so she handed it to Adi and said, "Read it to Dad."
Then she explained to Su Tianli in person, "My elder sister and mom both wrote to me."
In the letter, Su Youzi cursed Su Tianli, saying that Su Tianli had plotted against her and tricked her into going to Xinjiang, and that her life was now very difficult. She asked Su Qianzi to send her some money for her emergency.
In the letter, Tian Xiu only said that she had returned to her hometown and had no money, so she asked Su Qianzi to send her money.
Su Tianli asked Su Qianzi, "Did you send it?"
Su Qianzi hesitated for a moment and nodded, "...sent it."
"How much did you send?" Su Tianli asked again.
Su Qianzi sighed, "My salary is very low. When I received the letter, I was sick again. I really had no money, so I sent them ten yuan each."
"I clearly wrote in the letter that I was sick and used my salary to pay for medical treatment. I had no money at all..."
"As a result, they both wrote to me and scolded me, saying that I was an ungrateful person for only sending such a small amount of money to them."
"Then I got angry and never sent them any money again."
"Later, they wrote to me again and again to urge me to pay back the money. Their tone was quite bad, so I refused to send it to them," Su Qianzi said angrily.
Su Tianli asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"
Su Qianzi's eyes turned red, "Parasites! They can't be cured..."
Su Tianli suddenly felt distressed.
Parasitic diseases are more common and easy to be infected in rural areas.
The patient will be in pain.
Su Tianli comforted her sister, "It's okay. The hospital will be back to work on the fourth day of the New Year. I will take you to see a doctor and make sure you get cured."
Su Qianzi nodded with red eyes.
Next, everyone ate and chatted.
First, Su Tiancai told Su Qianzi everything about Su Youzi and Tian Xiu.
Su Qianzi then realized:
So your parents are divorced?
It turns out that Su Youzi was so bad. Not only was she bribed by He Wanqian and secretly changed her second sister's willingness to go to the countryside, she also unilaterally cut off her second sister's contact with her family... Fortunately, she was retaliated by her second sister later and was sent to the border by her second sister in the same way!
In addition, Su Qianzi also learned about Su Youzi's true life experience.
I also learned that Su Youzi had also taken away Tian Xiu's job...
Secondly, Su Dejun told the whole story of Su Tianli's entrepreneurship and how she made a fortune.
Su Qianzi then realized:
It turns out that my second sister went to the health center as a temporary worker?
It turns out that my second sister responded to national policies and opened a company?!
Su Qianzi first said to Su Tianli happily: "Second sister, you are so amazing, aren't you?"
Then she said to Su Dejun: "Dad, I think your divorce is a good choice! Look, after your divorce, our house has become clean! And there are these New Year's Eve dinners! How could we eat so well before!"
Su Dejun said to Su Qianzi awkwardly: "I thought you would object to my divorce from your mother..."
Su Qianzi sighed, "It's useless for me to oppose or agree. Isn't it up to you?"
At this time, Su Tiancai asked Su Qianzi, "Third sister, have you been living well on the farm these years?"
Su Qianzi's face froze in an instant.
The light in her eyes suddenly went out.
