Chapter 24 Chapter 24 The steamed preserved meat is rich in salty and fresh flavor...
Just like that, the matter of renting a house was completed at a speed so fast that Su Tianli couldn't believe it at all!
Next, she will wait for her luggage to arrive...
Then I can leave the Su family and move here to live my own life!
For the Sun family, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
They had gathered all their savings and rushed to Guangzhou, thinking that Old Lady Su could be saved.
Unexpectedly, before he even had the chance to see the doctor, Su Dejun poured a bucket of cold water on him!
You know, the only connection they have in Guangzhou is Su Dejun. If Su Dejun doesn't cooperate... Old Mrs. Su will have to go back to her hometown and wait for death!
However, only ten hours later, Su Tianli rented a house and allowed Old Lady Su to stay there to receive treatment?!
The Sun family immediately felt relieved.
All the uneasiness disappeared at this moment.
Second Aunt burst into tears and hugged Su Tianli excitedly, "Lizhi, it's all thanks to you!"
Second Uncle's eyes also turned red, and the simple farmer stood by and wiped his tears desperately.
Old Mrs. Su, Sun Fujuan and Sun Fujun also shed tears of joy.
Su Tianli smiled and hugged Second Aunt tightly, then gently let go, "It's okay, no matter what difficulties we face, we will get through them together."
Everyone nodded.
Just like that, Su Tianli signed the rental contract on the spot.
In this era, renting a house requires a certificate from the work unit.
Su Tianli has not yet received a job, so she went to the Youth League Office and asked the staff there to issue her a certificate. She then returned it to the Housing Authority and, according to the regulations of the Housing Authority, she had to prepay the first quarter (three months) of rent...
Su Tianli got the key.
It would be a lie to say I'm not happy.
However, Su Tianli still told the Sun family, "Grandma, Uncle and Aunt, my parents cannot know about our renting a house for the time being."
At this time, the second uncle and second aunt had already determined that Su Tianli was on their side.
So the second uncle excitedly took out a cloth bag from his coat pocket and handed it to Su Tianli, "Lizhi, your grandma is old and Juan is still young, take this money and become the head of the family for grandma!"
"Besides, you are a nurse. You at least know some common sense about how to treat your grandma's illness. You should contact the doctor more often in the future..."
"Lizhi, you need to teach Juan more so that she knows how to take care of your grandma."
"Also, Lizhi, you should ask Juan to do things more often. Although she is not good at studying, she is very efficient at doing things..."
"By the way, don't worry if the money is gone. Ask someone to send a message back and we'll find a way to raise more money!"
"Also, we will bring food from home regularly, so don't be reluctant to eat it! You must take good care of grandma and take good care of yourself..."
Uncle and aunt said to Su Tianli one by one.
Old Mrs. Su wiped her tears and said, "Lizhi, don't look down on me. Although I am old... I can still work!"
Sun Fujuan scolded, "Grandma! I'm here!"
Sun Fujun also shouted: "Grandma, if my sister does something wrong, tell me and I will come up to take care of you!"
Sun Fujuan scolded her brother, "What does it have to do with you? Just stay at home and study hard!"
Su Tianli looked at the family with tears in her eyes.
After everyone finished their work, they went back happily.
While riding the bus, Su Tianli suddenly remembered something and quietly asked Yao Meiyu, "Has your father's fundraising been completed?"
Yao Meiyu was originally very happy because she had helped her best friend accomplish something big!
But when I heard my bestie talk about this,
Her face immediately fell and she sighed, "No!"
Then Yao Meiyu started to complain, "My dad has been very worried about this recently! Usually we are all happy talking and laughing, but now it feels like a year in our family! Even my little nephew, who is less than one year old, can read people's expressions and doesn't even dare to cry when he pees in his pants!"
Su Tianli felt a little strange, "This shouldn't have anything to do with your dad...right?"
Yao Meiyu was upset, "You don't understand——"
After thinking for a while, she changed her words, "I don't understand either... But I heard my dad complain to my mom, saying that because the fundraising funds were not in place, he couldn't purchase spare parts, and he was scolded by the factory director! My dad was pissed off! You know, he's already over 50! In terms of seniority, he has worked longer than the factory director, and it's not his fault, but he still got scolded!"
Su Tianli asked casually, "Whose fault is that?"
Yao Meiyu sneered, "Of course it's the fault of He Wanqian's adoptive father He Jingdong, who is not her biological father but is better than her biological father!"
Su Tianli was stunned.
Yao Meiyu was furious and complained to her bestie in a low voice, "It is said that the factory purchasing department found the parts they bought wrong!"
"Then the R&D, purchasing and assembly departments started arguing!"
"The final result of the review is that the model in front was created by Cheng Yu!"
"Hasn't Cheng Yu become a fool now?"
"He Jingdong has only two options. He can either rebuild the model himself, but it's too late because the delivery date is approaching! So he has no choice but to continue using the model built by Cheng Yu, but with a different set of parts..."
"The purchasing department asked him to review the matter before, but he refused and insisted that he was definitely right. He insisted that the downstream supplier made the wrong parts, and even scolded the old factory manager who was about to retire and cried!"
"As a result, the other party's engineer took a train for a day and a night, took the purchase order from our factory, and came to our factory director for review. Only then did he realize that He Jingdong was wrong."
"Now, we just need to say hello to the other party, admit our mistake, return the wrong parts, and buy the correct ones... Everyone is on good terms, and the payment can be settled once a year like other orders."
"Now the other party is angry. First, they don't agree to return the goods. Second, they demand cash before they can provide the correct spare parts!"
"Right now, our factory's cash flow is simply not enough... The delivery date is approaching, but the correct batch of spare parts has not arrived at the factory. How can we assemble and deliver the goods?"
"My dad is under a lot of pressure right now..." Yao Meiyu frowned.
Su Tianli touched the two thousand yuan that her second uncle had just stuffed into her pocket and asked, "I still have two thousand here, is that enough?"
Yao Meiyu: !!!
"You really have it?" Yao Meiyu opened her eyes wide.
Su Tianli stuck out her chin in the direction of the Sun family and said, "It was my second uncle who raised the money for my grandma to save her life."
When Yao Meiyu heard this, she shook her head like a rattle, "That won't do. We can't touch Lizhi's money!"
Su Tianli said: "My grandma should undergo conservative treatment, so she won't need that much money for the time being."
Yao Meiyu was a little moved, "Really?"
Su Tianli nodded.
"Lizhi, you are so kind!" Yao Meiyu said happily, "Then shall we go find my dad later?"
Su Tianli thought for a moment and said, "I'll treat everyone to a meal later. After dinner, you can take the money home and give it to your father. I have to accompany my relatives. My grandma is sick, and my second uncle donated blood to Cheng Yu today. Let's not bother!"
Yao Meiyu nodded repeatedly, "That's fine."
In this way, everyone returned to the state-owned hotel near the chemical plant.
To eat at a state-owned restaurant, you need a gift voucher.
Su Tianli didn’t.
So Yao Meiyu went over, scanned her face, and greeted the aunt who was taking the order sweetly.
The aunt who took the order knew that Yao Meiyu's father was the head of the financial department of the chemical plant, so she smiled and didn't ask for a coupon, and let Su Tianli buy the meal with cash.
Last night, I ate He Wanqian's food. Su Tianli was really ruthless.
Su Tianli was eating by herself today. She went to the window to look around and finally bought two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, four half-meat dishes and five bowls of stew, and also bought enough white rice. In the end, she spent four dollars and thirty cents.
She felt a little distressed.
But I think today I have solved the housing problem.
Then she was happy again.
The two meat dishes were braised pork with pickled cabbage and steamed preserved meat.
Su Tianli had the braised pork yesterday and really didn't think it tasted good. But after all, she was taking everyone out to eat, so how could she not eat some meat?
So she ordered another steamed dish of preserved meat.
Steamed cured meats are made by steaming cured meat, cured sausage, cured duck legs, cured fish, etc. together. They have a strong, salty and fresh flavor and are an incredible accompaniment to rice.
Two vegetarian dishes, one is stir-fried bean sprouts, the other is salad cucumber;
The four semi-vegetarian dishes were stir-fried pork with beans, stir-fried pork with shredded potatoes, homemade minced pork tofu, and a bowl of steamed egg;
The most expensive soup is the five-bowl stew of chicken with ginseng root, which costs thirty cents a bowl!
Su Tianli thought, Grandma and Cheng Yu were patients, so each of them had a bowl of soup;
Of the remaining two bowls of soup, one was given to my second uncle, who donated blood to Cheng Yu today.
The other one was for Zhang Wei, who had been running around today to deal with Cheng Yu's affairs...
Hey, Zhang Wei hasn’t arrived yet!
Su Tianli asked Mao Li to save some food for Zhang Wei, and she also packed a meal for Cheng Yu.
After taking a bite of the rice, Su Tianli found that the rice was quite hard. She quickly stopped Old Lady Su and told her not to eat it. She ran to buy a bowl of plain noodles and specifically asked her to cook the noodles softer...
Old Mrs. Su looked at the steamed eggs and soft noodles with tears in her eyes and was so moved that she wanted to cry.
Everyone hurried to comfort Old Mrs. Su.
Su Tianli also said: "Grandma, your illness is not something you get in one day. It is caused by years of overwork and overdrawing your health. If you want to cure the disease, it is impossible to cure it in one day. It requires a long-term and persistent process."
"During this process, the most important thing is your attitude. If you have a good attitude, are positive and optimistic, and follow the doctor's advice, you will gradually get better..."
Old Mrs. Su nodded with tears in her eyes, "I have to be strong!"
The old man choked up and said, "I haven't created any value in my life... Now that I'm old, I'm still a burden to you, the younger generations! I can't die. I haven't paid back the money you borrowed to treat my illness!"
"Even if I die, I have to pay back the money first!" said Old Mrs. Su in a strong voice.
Everyone was crying and laughing, and they kept comforting Mr. Su.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm.
After a while, Zhang Wei rushed to the state-owned hotel in a hurry.
Everyone quickly invited him to come over for dinner.
Before Su Tianli could ask Zhang Wei what was going on,
Zhang Wei couldn't help but excitedly said to everyone: "Let me tell you, today was really... a good show for me!"
Everyone looked sideways.
Su Tianli especially.
Zhang Wei started talking:
At noon, he led the police to investigate the bridge tunnel where Cheng Yu lived.
There was a madman who was frantically pulling out vegetables in the vegetable garden, cursing, "I'll let you be proud! I'll let you be proud! Don't think you're great just because you got the lychees! Go to hell! Go to hell..."
The man looked so crazy that Zhang Wei and the two police officers were stunned.
Everyone stood aside quietly...
Zhang Wei didn’t know what the two police officers were thinking at that time.
Anyway, Zhang Wei felt it was a pity - the vegetables in Cheng Yu's vegetable garden were growing well, how unlucky it was that they were destroyed by a madman! And it was impossible to ask a madman to compensate...
Then Zhang Wei thought again: Where do so many crazy and stupid people come from in this world? Cheng Yu is one, and this madman in front of him is another...
Finally, Zhang Wei warned himself: I must stay away from that madman, otherwise I would be beaten by him and unable to take revenge, which would be a loss.
Unexpectedly——
The "madman" seemed to have heard the noise coming from Zhang Wei's side and turned his head!
The "madman" was stunned.
Zhang Wei was also stunned, and recognized—this madman was Fu Yan? !
In an instant, a trace of fear flashed in Fu Yan's eyes.
Of course, since Fu Yan appeared at the scene, he was inevitably questioned by the police.
Fu Yan became more and more panicked.
In addition, when the police were questioning Fu Yan, Zhang Wei slowly calmed down, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.
——When he came to look for Cheng Yu in the morning, he found a few scattered shoes on the lawn outside Cheng Yu's house.
At that time, Cheng Yu thought that those different pairs of shoes were rags that he picked up and brought home when he was wandering outside.
On second thought,
In fact, Cheng Yu was just slow in thinking and speaking. He was not stupid and had never begged for food.
Look! Cheng Yu's "home" is the evidence.
His home is simple, tidy and clean, without any unnecessary things!
How could such a person pick up trash?
That,
He had seen the shoes scattered on the ground before. Whose were they?
Zhang Wei could recognize that two of the dark blue canvas shoes belonged to Cheng Yu;
One of the black leather shoes also belonged to Cheng Yu, and the other one was in the house.
So,
When he came in the morning, whose sneakers were those with white base and red and blue stripes?
Finally, Zhang Wei saw Fu Yan's feet...
I understood it immediately.
The shoes are Fu Yan's!
Of course, Zhang Wei immediately reported the situation to the police.
Just like that, after investigating the scene for a while, the police took Fu Yan and Zhang Wei back to the police station.
Fu Yan was stubborn at first.
He told the police that he showed up in Cheng Yu's vegetable garden to pick some vegetables;
When Zhang Wei mentioned his shoes, he immediately changed his words and said that he went to Cheng Yu to look for shoes;
Finally hesitating...
However, he himself is not a person who breaks the law.
I never expected that Cheng Yu's friends would be so serious and call the police to seek justice for him...
So the police didn't waste too much effort to pry the truth out of Fu Yan.
——Fu Yan was in a bad mood and extremely disgusted with Cheng Yu. He got drunk last night and boldly came to Cheng Yu's house, knocked on the door, and when Cheng Yu went out to check, he hit Cheng Yu on the head with a brick.
Since it was Zhang Wei who called the police,
It was also verified that Fu Yan had indeed beaten Cheng Yu, so Fu Yan was temporarily detained.
I heard that the police will take Fu Yan to identify the scene tomorrow.
Having said that, Zhang Wei, who was already starving, quickly started eating.
Su Tianli was stunned for a long while.
To be honest, after hearing about Cheng Yu’s incident this morning, Su Tianli felt that the public security in Guangzhou was really worrying.
She also wondered if it was other homeless people or street urchins who wanted to steal Cheng Yu's things.
Until now——
I heard that Fu Yan did this? !
Su Tianli felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.
——Fu Yan clearly knew Cheng Yu’s current situation, he was almost like a fool!
As a normal person, Fu Yan actually did such a thing at night? !
so! ! !
Was she blind in her previous life?
How could I have been in a relationship with this kind of trash for ten years?!
Su Tianli was so angry that she couldn't eat.
She thought to herself that she had to vent her anger for Cheng Yu! It was also like venting her anger for being betrayed in her previous life!
After everyone finished eating, Su Tianli asked Zhang Wei to take food to the hospital for Cheng Yu.
Zhang Wei agreed readily, took the food and left with Mao Li.
Su Tianli pulled Yao Meiyu aside again and gave her the two thousand yuan. Yao Meiyu then took the money and went home.
Su Tianli took her relatives home.
result--
As soon as I reached the gate of the family compound, I saw Aunt Cao coming over from the children's school with a net bag of things in her hand. "Lychees?"
"Hello, Aunt Cao!" Su Tianli hurriedly greeted Aunt Cao.
When Aunt Cao saw Su Tianli, her eyes immediately sparkled with gossip. "Lizhi, you just came back? Did you take grandma to see a doctor? How is grandma?"
Su Tianli did not hide anything and told him everything - grandma had undergone various examinations and tests today, and it would take a few days to get the report.
After Aunt Cao expressed her concern to Old Lady Su,
She picked up the net bag in her hand and waved it towards Su Tianli, "I heard that grandma's plums are delicious, so I bought some to take back!"
Su Tianli opened her eyes wide.
Buy...sell?!
Aunt Cao could see the surprise in Su Tianli's eyes. She pouted towards the iron gate, then said nothing and walked away with the net bag of plums, smiling.
Old Mrs. Su, Second Uncle, Second Aunt and others looked at each other.
Everyone could understand what Aunt Cao meant - the Su family took out the plums that the Sun family brought from the countryside and sold them?
Su Tianli thought for a moment, then led the Sun family straight to the school for children outside the iron gate.
Sure enough, under the dim street lights,
Su Tiancai was guarding his stall timidly.
The stall was piled with all kinds of local specialties that the Sun family brought back from the countryside yesterday.
Su Tianli took a closer look and realized that in addition to the meat dishes such as bacon and sausage, other things such as plums, dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, and peppers were all displayed!
At this moment, the Sun family was extremely embarrassed.
Su Tianli didn't care. She walked over and asked, "Brother? What are you doing here?"
As for Su Tiancai, he felt uncomfortable whenever someone approached his stall.
It was not until I recognized my elder sister's voice that I raised my head in surprise and joy. As soon as I called out "elder sister", I suddenly saw my grandmother, my second uncle and my second aunt following behind my elder sister...
Look at the local specialties placed at his feet.
Su Tiancai's face suddenly turned red!
He said timidly, "My parents asked me to come here to set up a stall and sell these...to make some money."
Su Tiancai didn't dare to look his uncle and aunt in the eye. He felt it was too embarrassing!
My uncle and aunt also felt very embarrassed.
Su Tianli asked Su Tiancai in a gentle voice, "Brother, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten," Su Tiancai said in a voice as soft as a mosquito. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked up at Old Lady Su and his second uncle's family. He asked Su Tianli in a low voice, "Sister, have you eaten?"
He said dejectedly: "There is no food at home tonight..."
Su Tianli smiled and did not answer the question, but asked: "Are you here alone? Where are your parents and elder sister?"
Su Tiancai pouted towards the playground.
However, the street lights were dim, and Su Tianli couldn't see Su Dejun, Tian Xiu and the others.
She took out two shelled tea eggs from her pocket, quickly stuffed them into Su Tiancai's hands, and ordered him, "You have one minute to finish eating them! That includes the time to peel the eggshells!"
Su Tiancai suddenly found two warm tea eggs in his hands and was stunned.
"Hurry up!" Su Tianli urged him.
Without thinking, Su Tiancai quickly peeled a tea egg and stuffed the whole thing directly into his mouth;
While he was chewing, he was quickly peeling the second tea egg.
He had just swallowed the first tea egg in his mouth, and before he could put the second tea egg into his mouth——
Su Youzi hurried over from a distance and shouted, "What are you doing?!"
Su Tiancai barely managed to stuff the second tea egg into his mouth.
He tried to close his mouth and chew quickly, his cheeks bulging like a squirrel.
Su Tianli found it funny and poked her brother's cheek with her finger...
Su Youzi asked angrily: "What are you eating?"
Su Tianli glanced at Su Youzi and said, "Big sister, yesterday your best friend He Wanqian invited me to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. Today, my best friend Ayu invited me and A-nai to a state-owned restaurant for dinner... Oh, you can't eat meat and fish every day, it's so greasy!"
Su Tiancai, who was standing by, almost burst out laughing when he heard his second sister's teasing remarks!
Then he was glared at by his second sister.
I also read the threat from my second sister's eyes: "If you dare to spit out the tea eggs, you will have to eat them all back."
Su Tiancai was so frightened that he dared not laugh anymore. He moved his mouth desperately, trying to swallow the tea egg as soon as possible.
but!
Tea eggs are so fragrant and delicious...
Su Tiancai was reluctant to swallow it.
At this time, Su Tianli said to Su Youzi casually: "Ayu was thinking about my younger brother who is growing up, so he asked me to bring back two tea eggs for him..."
Su Youzi had already smelled the strong aroma of the tea eggs, and his mouth was already salivating like crazy. He couldn't help but said shamelessly, "Two? Then...give me one!"
Su Tianli smiled proudly, "No, Ah Yu didn't say she would bring it to you!"
"Besides, when Ah Yu invited me to dinner, she knew she was thinking of my brother and asked me to bring him two tea eggs. Big sister, He Wanqian is also your good friend, why didn't she think of you when she invited me to dinner yesterday?"
Su Youzi was anxious and angry when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it, so he turned to look at Su Tiancai and threatened: "Brother?"
The implication is: Hand over a tea egg quickly!
Su Tiancai is very afraid of Su Youzi.
Because whenever Su Youzi complained to his mother, no matter whether Su Youzi was right or wrong, his mother would scold Su Tiancai.
Therefore, Su Tiancai usually doesn't dare to conflict with Su Youzi.
It’s different now.
Now my second sister is here!
So Su Tiancai said to Su Youzi happily, "No more! I've eaten both tea eggs!"
Su Youzi's face instantly turned as black as the ash at the bottom of a pot!
She was so angry that she said, "Su Tiancai! Then give me the money you made from selling the things you just sold!"
Su Tiancai held his purse tightly and said, "No!"
Su Youzi looked at his brother in shock and scolded, "Are you sick? You don't even listen to me?!"
Su Tiancai shook his head like a rattle, "If you don't want to give it to me, then I won't give it to you!"
"Su Tiancai! Give me the money!" Su Youzi shouted angrily.
Su Tianli ignored them.
She squatted down and divided the sweet plums piled up like a mountain on the stall into portions of three. "Sweet and crisp plums! Three for five cents! Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, come and buy some!"
"It's no use walking around like that. Spend five cents to buy three plums and eat them before going home!"
"Everyone, come and see! These plums are as big as fists. Three of them weigh more than half a pound!"
“Authentic Shaoguan plums! Super delicious!”
"In addition, there are all kinds of mountain products! They are discounted and cheap! If you don't want to buy them, come and take a look..."
Su Tianli's selling was like this.
Many family members who were walking nearby gathered around.
Since everyone knew each other, they said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Lizhi, as soon as you came back, you started a side business and set up a stall to make money?"
"Su Lizhi, you are so brave! How dare you set up a stall here! Hurry up and sell me one portion of plums, or I will buy two!"
"Lychee, why are the plums you're selling so big? This is the first time I've seen such big plums."
"Lychee, is this a Shaoguan plum? Do the plums in Shaoguan grow this big?"
Su Tianli signaled Sun Fujuan and her brother to come over to help sell the fruit, and at the same time, she signaled Su Tiancai to collect the money, telling him to give the money to Second Aunt whenever he saved up a dollar.
Su Tianli also openly told the neighbors:
"Hey, these things were all brought by my grandma and my second uncle and aunt from the countryside of Shaoguan!"
"My grandma is sick, and my second uncle and second aunt brought her to Guangzhou for medical treatment..."
"My grandma has stomach cancer... Oh, my family is really poor. It costs a lot of money to treat the disease! Now we can't even afford to eat, how can we afford to see a doctor? I really have no choice but to sell these local specialties. I'm sure it won't cover the medical expenses, but at least I can earn enough to eat for a few days!"
It would be better if Su Tianli didn't say anything.
She said this,
All the family members were excited!
After all, Old Mrs. Su and Mr. and Mrs. Sun Shaohua were right next to them.
So many people came to them to ask for details.
actually--
Sun Shaohua and his wife were also extremely embarrassed.
But since Lizhi responded to everyone so generously,
So Sun Shaohua and his wife had no choice but to answer every question.
Fortunately, everyone was quite honest. They were mainly shocked that Mrs. Su had cancer, and basically asked questions like "what tests did you do?", "what did the doctor say?", "where did you feel uncomfortable after having this disease?", etc...
Not far away, Su Dejun and Tian Xiu, who were hiding in a secluded place, were so angry!
because--
It was originally agreed between him and his wife to sell the local specialties brought by Sun Shaohua's family and keep the money.
But the two of them were too embarrassed to do it, so they had to force their son to do it.
Just now they were even hiding aside, arguing over how much money they could make from selling these local specialties.
Who would have thought that Su Tianli would take over this matter? !
Seeing the local specialties that were piled up on the ground before were sold out in a moment,
Sun Shaohua's wife was laughing happily, with her hands full of bills, probably about 20 or 30 yuan? !
This is really a big deal for Su Dejun and Tian Xiuqi!
But it was not easy for them to ask for the money back in front of outsiders.
After all, Su Tianli has always emphasized that the purpose of selling these local specialties is to raise money for Old Lady Su’s medical treatment and food!
Su Dejun was so angry that his eyes widened;
Tian Xiuqi's nose is crooked!
The couple felt heartbroken.
