Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Mother’s love is like red date chicken soup…
Su Tianli sneered, "Hey, who is that person you are talking about?"
Su Youzi felt very uncomfortable and didn't dare to answer. Instead, he said to Su Tianli, "Are you polite? I'm your sister, but you don't even call me sister. What am I calling you?"
Su Tianli smiled coldly, "Yes, yes, I am not as good as you, I am not polite... You are very polite and well-educated, so you dare to steal money, and you even yell at me!"
Su Youzi said angrily: "Are you done yet? The matter has already passed, why are you still bringing it up? Besides, I really didn't..."
Su Tianli interrupted Su Youzi, "Yes, yes, you have already stolen the money, so this matter is over. We must pretend that you have never stolen the money!"
"From now on, if you kill someone or set a fire... even if someone dies in your hands, even if the house is burned down, we must treat it as if you have never killed anyone or set a fire!"
Su Youzi screamed, "I just used the money to buy a skirt! I didn't do anything against the law! Why do you have to hold on to me? Why do you want to accuse me of murder and arson?"
Tian Xiu was given a headache by the noise, "You two shut up!"
Su Youzi ran away crying.
Su Tianli sat as steady as a mountain, and even took advantage of the fact that Su Youzi hadn't finished his meal and ran away. She quickly grabbed two large pieces of roast duck, dipped them in sour plum sauce, and put them in her own bowl first...
While Tian Xiu put down his bowl and chopsticks to call Su Youzi to eat, and Su Dejun looked up in a daze as Tian Xiu coaxed Su Youzi out to eat with gentle words, and even apologized to Su Youzi on behalf of Su Tianli, Su Tianli quickly picked up two large pieces of roast duck and threw them into Su Tiancai's bowl.
Su Tiancai opened his eyes wide but didn't dare to say a word. He just held the bowl and ate the roast duck desperately while looking at Su Tianli with gratitude and amusement.
When Su Tianli saw that Tian Xiu had already coaxed Su Youzi, and the mother and daughter were holding hands affectionately and were about to walk towards the dining table -
Su Tianli quickly picked up the last piece of roast duck in the bowl and threw it into Su Dejun's bowl.
Su Dejun was stunned.
At this time, Su Youzi and Tian Xiu sat down at the table again, only to find that the plate of roast duck was empty?
Su Tiancai was about to pour the last bit of gravy from the plate into his own bowl.
He suddenly remembered something and quickly pushed the plate towards Su Tianli, his body language saying: Do you want gravy with your rice?
Su Tianli put her bowl aside: I don’t want it!
Su Tiancai then pushed the plate in front of his father Su Dejun again.
Su Dejun happily held out his bowl.
In this way, the roast duck gravy in the empty plate was divided up by Su Dejun and Su Tiancai.
Su Youzi felt wronged and wanted to cry, "Mom..."
Tian Xiu's face was terribly gloomy.
She had been a housewife for many years and had many children. She was used to them fighting over small things...
It’s not that I was angry about Su Dejun, Su Tianli and Su Tiancai snatching the food.
What made her angry was how come the three of them had such good chemistry?
You know, if the three of them had a tacit understanding under her nose, it would prove that she, the housewife, was excluded.
Tian Xiu pursed his thin lips tightly.
However, she has never been an impulsive person.
Now that she has noticed this trend, she has decided not to take any action until she has figured out how to deal with it.
"Second brother, what the eldest brother asked just now is what I want to ask as well," Tian Xiu asked, "...You want to sell the transfer order, which is also a way. But who will come to buy it?"
"Those who can afford it are officials and cadres. But their children may not be nurses. If they buy this transfer order... can it be used?"
Su Tianli smiled and replied, "Of course it can be used! Do you really think that everyone in the hospital is either a doctor or a nurse?"
"Of course not!"
"There are also administrative positions in hospitals, such as accounting, purchasing, general affairs, logistics, and personnel... People in these positions are not necessarily doctors or nurses."
"If an official or cadre has money and wants to buy a transfer order for his children, isn't that perfect?"
"Give me 500 yuan first, and I will sell him the transfer order. Then he can go find Wang Aiqin... Either he gives Wang Aiqin 500 yuan and Wang Aiqin will handle the transfer procedures for him, or he can use his power to bully others and not have to pay a penny!"
"Even if he pays both ends, a stable job only costs a thousand yuan... You know, the salary for a nurse position at the Municipal People's Hospital starts at 40 yuan, and it will be back in two years at most!"
"It's a good deal!" Su Tianli encouraged.
As she spoke, Su Tianli glanced at Su Youzi without making any expression.
I saw——
Su Youzi, who had a bitter face just now and was almost crying because he couldn't eat roast duck, now lowered his head and laughed secretly.
Su Tianli also laughed.
Tian Xiu asked again, "Second Brother, how do you plan to sell that transfer order?"
Su Tianli replied, "I will be going to work next week, so I plan to go around this week...Look for my old classmates and ask them to find out. I should be able to find a buyer."
Then Su Tianli said seriously: "Mom, give me another ten yuan. It still costs money to treat my classmates to popsicles."
When Tian Xiu heard Su Tianli asking for money, his face darkened again.
Su Tiancai said anxiously: "Second sister, if you don't have money, just move back home!"
——Su Tiancai thought very simply. Since his second sister had no money, why did she live outside? Although his second sister kept saying that she wanted to live with her friends, she couldn't keep bothering them, right? Besides, if she lived in someone else's house, she would have to eat their food...
It’s better to come back for food and accommodation.
After all, we are family!
But after hearing what Su Tiancai said, Tian Xiu was silent for a moment, took out ten yuan and handed it to Su Tianli, and repeatedly told her, "...you should spend money frugally. You can go out, but as a girl, you shouldn't hang out outside every day. Come back and do housework when you are free, and take care of the vegetable garden..."
Su Tianli didn't care and agreed immediately.
after all,
Do you have time to go home and do housework or tend to the vegetable garden?
The problem can be solved by just saying "I'm busy".
The most important thing is that she can get money out of Tian Xiu, that's her ability.
Su Tiancai looked at his mother with disappointment.
In his opinion, his mother didn't want his second sister to come home.
At the same time, she also hated him - otherwise, how could she explain that as soon as he persuaded her to come back, her mother gave her money and didn't let her come back?
Su Tiancai lowered his head uncomfortably.
The next morning, Su Tianli went to the hospital first to check on Cheng Yu's condition.
I have to say,
Cheng Yu, who was hospitalized, took medicine on time and took care of the wounds on his body and head;
There was also a responsible and down-to-earth nurse who fed him nutritious meals six times a day, cleaned his body, and followed Su Tianli's instructions to always take a handkerchief as an eye mask and put it on Cheng Yu's eyes, so that he could be forced to sleep...
Therefore, Cheng Yu really recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Su Tianli was standing in front of his bed, staring at Cheng Yu who was sleeping soundly in amazement.
——He lay quietly on the bed, with a folded handkerchief covering his eyes. Under the handkerchief was his snow-white, delicate skin and tall, straight nose.
And his lips were a healthy red, which, against the backdrop of his snow-white skin, made him look even more... charming and attractive!
Su Tianli stood in front of his bed in a daze, wondering how could this guy be so beautiful? !
According to what Fu Yan and He Wanqian said before,
(Although they didn't say it explicitly, Su Tianli could guess it)
In her previous life, Su Tianli never got married, but had a boyfriend.
Cheng Yu is her boyfriend.
So,
Did she agree to let Cheng Yu be her boyfriend because of his handsomeness?
Thinking of this, Su Tianli blushed again.
Well, actually she never judges people by appearance...
Then--
Su Tianli couldn't help but look at Cheng Yu again.
Suddenly I felt shaken again.
At this time, Cheng Yu woke up.
He moved, and the handkerchief covering his eyes slid down his smooth cheek.
Perhaps the bright light in front of him stimulated him.
He frowned slightly.
A pair of eyes that still couldn't focus revealed a confused and dazed look, and then two lines of tears silently flowed down.
Su Tianli knew that it was a normal physiological phenomenon for Cheng Yu to shed tears.
No matter who you are, if you see strong light right after waking up, nine out of ten people will be irritated to tears.
But Cheng Yu's snow-white skin, delicate collarbone, rosy lips and tearful eyes...
It really made her...
There is a throbbing urge.
Su Tianli took a deep breath and decided to run away.
So she ran to find Wang Aiqin.
really!
As soon as she saw Wang Aiqin's bitter and resentful face, Su Tianli instantly came to her senses and greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Auntie Wang!"
When Wang Aiqin saw Su Tianli, she didn't realize that Su Tianli was actually here to visit Cheng Yu.
She thought Su Tianli was here to ask her for the 500 yuan.
Wang Aiqin's face instantly fell, "What are you doing here?"
Su Tianli was shocked, "Can't I come to see Aunt Wang?"
Wang Aiqin was so annoyed that she said unhappily, "I don't have any money. I can't get it together."
Su Tianli put on a disappointed look at the right moment, "Okay, I'll go back to our factory and ask if the factory clinic is still short of staff..."
She said to Wang Aiqin sadly: "Auntie Wang, I have been kicked out by my mother. I have no place to live and no money to eat. My mother also forced me to take out money to prepare a dowry for my eldest sister...Auntie Wang, I am really short of money."
"If there's really nothing you can do, then I'll have to transfer to the chemical factory as soon as possible. I can start work earlier and get paid a day earlier... Otherwise, my sister will have no money to spend and I will have no food to eat."
After saying that, Su Tianli left without looking back.
Wang Aiqin was startled and called her quickly, "Xiao Su? Stop! I'll tell you..."
Seeing Su Tianli looking extremely distressed,
Wang Aiqin was anxious, "Su Tianli, come back here!"
But Su Tianli had already left without looking back...
Wang Aiqin had no choice but to say, "Tomorrow! Tomorrow for sure!"
Su Tianli, who had already quickly run to the stairs, smiled slightly.
She quickly adjusted her expression, turned around and looked at Wang Aiqin, with just the right amount of gratitude and shame on her face, "Really, Auntie Wang?"
Wang Aiqin gnashed with hatred, "Tomorrow!"
"Great! This way I won't be afraid of being urged by my mother!" Su Tianli cheered with tears in her eyes, and then asked, "Auntie Wang, when will we apply for the transfer?"
Wang Aiqun said nothing.
She discussed this issue with her husband and came to the conclusion that for the sake of her son, she had to give it a try!
Now that you have decided to take the risk, you need to assess the risks.
What Wang Aiqin feared the most was that if Su Tianli discovered the aid construction in Tibet and Xinjiang in advance and made a fuss about it, Wang Aiqin’s official position would be in jeopardy.
so,
Wang Aiqin thought about it and decided that the date for Su Tianli to sign the application form must be before the deadline for the application for the Tibet-Xinjiang project. However, it would be best to arrange for Su Tianli to start work on the first day of the next month.
——Because next month is October, October 1st is a holiday, and October 3rd is the day when the team to assist Tibet and Xinjiang will set out.
During the holidays, even if Su Tianli caused trouble, the impact could be minimized.
Wang Aiqin is a cautious person.
She reviewed it again in her mind, and after making sure there were no omissions, she said to Su Tianli, "Xiao Su, this is what happened... Come to my office tomorrow, I'll give you 500 yuan, and then you help me sign a document--"
This document is a five-year volunteer letter to provide assistance to Tibet and Xinjiang.
Wang Aiqin said ambiguously: "...You have to sign after you take the money, otherwise I will have a hard time explaining myself... You know, after all, I am also doing things for someone else..."
She said this as if someone really had asked her to do this.
Su Tianli nodded in understanding, "I understand. I just need to sign a volunteer form to help build Tibet and Xinjiang! But Aunt Wang, we agreed that you can only give me a fake one to sign. Don't give me the real one."
Wang Aiqin was silent for a moment and said, "Okay."
Su Tianli asked again, "Auntie Wang, what about my transfer order...when are you going to accept my transfer application?"
Wang Aiqin thought for a moment and said, "Next week!"
Then she went on to explain that she had to attend a meeting somewhere soon and couldn't leave.
Su Tianli nodded sympathetically: "Auntie Wang, I'm really not rushing you. It's mainly because I haven't been free recently. Someone asked me to do something... I'm afraid I'll miss the job transfer."
Hearing this, Wang Aiqin was overjoyed and immediately told him her well-thought-out plan, "How about this, you come over tomorrow to get the money, and then sign the volunteer form... Well, don't worry about the volunteer form, we're just going to do it for show."
"Come over next week to apply for the job transfer. We'll try to complete the process within a week... and there will only be a few days left until the end of the month, so you'll start work on the first of next month!" Wang Aiqun said with a smile.
Su Tianli also put down the heavy stone in her heart, "Okay, thank you Aunt Wang!"
——This was also very much in line with her expectations.
Get the five hundred dollars first... Money must be put in pocket!
Then go back and give Su Youzi a good stimulation.
Su Youzi only knows how to quarrel with Tian Xiu.
In the end, Tian Xiu will let Su Tianli give way...
Just thinking about it makes me happy!
Su Tianli agreed with a smile.
Because she was in such a good mood, she hummed a little tune and went to the ward to see Cheng Yu again.
Cheng Yu has woken up and is eating an apple under the care of the nurse.
Although Su Tianli did not personally take care of the recovery process,
But she came often, and was always dissatisfied with the care provided by the nurse.
The nurse was a little scared of her.
As soon as she saw Su Tianli, the nurse immediately began to explain enthusiastically: how Cheng Yu was doing in the past two days, and how she took good care of Cheng Yu according to Su Tianli's requirements.
Su Tianli listened to the nurse's report nonchalantly while observing Cheng Yu's condition:
The nurse is really caring.
So Cheng Yu's face and body were clean, and even his fingernails were trimmed.
He had gained a little weight, and his cheeks and lips were healthy and rosy.
He was eating an apple, his cheeks puffed up.
"Cheng Yu, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Su Tianli asked.
The nurse said quickly: "He can't speak yet..."
Su Tianli continued to observe Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu slowly finished the apple in his mouth and answered word by word: "I don't want to eat meat... I want to... eat... steamed eggs... mixed with rice."
The nurse was stunned.
Cheng Yu continued, "No... I don't want... the heart of the vegetable. I can't... bite it."
Su Tianli smiled and asked again, "Cheng Yu, do you know who I am?"
Cheng Yu was silent for a moment, then replied, "Lychee."
Su Tianli asked again, "Then do you know who Lizhi is?"
Cheng Yu was silent for a while, then replied, "Classmate, friend."
This time, Su Tianli was really happy, because this proved that Cheng Yu was slowly recovering.
That's why!
A person who has lost his ability to think normally due to a concussion can still rely on his subconscious and instincts to continue living seriously...
This is enough to prove that he has a strong desire to survive.
As long as he is properly cared for, he will recover soon.
Look, he is indeed getting better.
Su Tianli continued to ask him, "Cheng Yu, can you see me?"
To talk to Cheng Yu, you must have a lot of patience.
Because his reaction is very slow.
After a long while, Cheng Yu finally answered: "I can see... but not clearly."
"How do you feel now?"
"I've been floating... sometimes... in the clouds, sometimes in the sea... I feel dizzy and want to vomit, and sometimes... I fall from the clouds, and my whole body hurts..." Cheng Yu said seriously.
Su Tianli asked again, "What about when you sleep?"
"I was...sleeping, and also...floating. But I wasn't...dizzy enough to feel uncomfortable..."
Su Tianli, "Can you hear everyone talking?"
"It's very noisy... There's always some machinery noise, and you have to work very hard to hear clearly."
The nurse at the side suddenly realized, "No wonder he can't hear me!"
The family member of the patient in the next bed said bluntly: "But they can hear what Comrade Su said! Listen, Cheng Yu answered so well! He just reacted slowly and spoke slowly, but he spoke clearly word by word..."
The nurse chuckled and said, "That's different!"
Su Tianli blushed and changed the subject, "Cheng Yu, that night... do you know who hit you?"
Cheng Yu answered simply: "Fu Yan."
Then she told him, "Zhang Wei called the police for you. The police asked us whether we want to settle the matter privately or publicly. What do you want to do?"
This time, Cheng Yu took a long time before he gasped and said "It's over"...
Su Tianli looked at Cheng Yu and saw that he might be tired, so she said, "Okay, take a rest first, don't be too tired. I'll ask Zhang Wei to come over later. He knows your case better than I do. You can talk to him directly then."
Cheng Yu said "ok" weakly, his eyes slightly open, and there was no movement.
Su Tianli stared at him for a moment, watching his slightly rising and falling chest, then took the handkerchief, folded it, and covered his half-closed eyes with it.
She left the hospital.
Su Tianli returned to the chemical plant.
It's still early now.
After thinking about it, she first went to the factory’s children’s school to ask Su Tiancai for the key to her house.
At that time, all the students in the children's school should have been doing exercises during the break.
Su Tiancai got the message, ran over to take a look, happily called "Second Sister", and quickened his pace.
Su Tianli handed him a bag of snacks with a smile, and said, "I'm free today, so I want to come back early to do some housework and take care of the vegetable garden, so that mom won't nag me all day long."
Su Tiancai said seriously, "Second sister, you don't have to do anything. I will take care of all the housework and the vegetable garden. I am a boy, and it is my responsibility to support the family. You are a girl... From now on, you will do as my eldest sister does."
Su Tianli was very surprised, "Do you think so?"
Su Tiancai felt a little sad, but still nodded.
Su Tianli was silent for a moment. "You are a boy, you have the responsibility to support the family, but you are not yet an adult... and your parents are healthy and have a stable income. It is not your turn to support the family."
In fact, she wasn't very familiar with her brother, so that was all she could say.
"Okay, go do your exercises. I'm going back." After saying that, Su Tianli took the key and left.
Su Tiancai held the snacks his sister stuffed into his hands, his ears ringing with his sister's words, and he fell into deep thought.
Su Tianli returned home.
Her purpose of returning home today was very clear - she must investigate Tian Xiu's family background.
To put it bluntly,
If Tian Xiu had 500 yuan,
Then the "common practice required by Wang Aiqin" cannot be 500 yuan, it must be higher!
Su Tianli took off the clip on her bangs and easily opened the door of the master bedroom.
Su Tianli always knew where Tian Xiu hid his valuables.
Soon, Su Tianli took out a flat iron box from the mezzanine in the master bedroom closet.
When I opened it, I saw a lot of things inside:
The "Guangzhou Chemical Plant Employee Certificate" was tied up.
There are four or five great unity pictures,
There are some Treasury bonds and some certificates of deposit...
Su Tianli carefully estimated the total amount to be around two hundred and eighty yuan.
Not even five hundred dollars!
Su Tianli finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was preparing to restore everything and leave as soon as possible -
Suddenly, her eyes fell on a corner of an old photo that was exposed at the bottom of the iron box.
Su Tianli took out the photo.
There are several of them!
There are ID photos of Tian Xiu and Su Dejun at different times.
There are their wedding headshots.
There are photos of them when they were young with their respective families.
There are a few more photos... They look like group photos of school students.
And Su Youzi's full-month photo, hundred-day photo, one-year-old photo, commemorative photo of her first day in elementary school wearing a pretty little skirt, commemorative photo of her first day in junior high school, commemorative photo of her spring outing...
Speaking of which, there are four siblings in the family, and even Su Tiancai is not qualified to take so many photos.
Su Tianli had never taken a photo before she was seven years old. It was only when she graduated from elementary school, junior high school, and high school that she took graduation photos and ID photos.
I never thought that Su Youzi had taken so many photos!
Even though Su Tianli had seen through it long ago...
But when he saw the obvious evidence that his parents favored Su Youzi,
Su Tianli was still quite jealous.
She shook her head and prepared to restore everything.
Sudden--
Su Tianli's gaze rested on an old, yellowed group photo.
There are five people in the photo, two men and three women, and Tian Xiu is one of them.
And the young man who was standing next to Tian Xiu...
Su Tianli opened her eyes wide.
The young man's facial features were almost exactly the same as Su Youzi's - both had light eyebrows, narrow eyes, and a chin as pointed as a spine!
At this moment, Su Tianli's heart skipped a beat.
Whenever she felt that Tian Xiu was biased towards her, she would always mutter in her heart angrily: Maybe I am not her biological child!
Now, Su Tianli looked at the young man in the photo and couldn't help but think of the panicked expression on Tian Xiu's face when she asked her eldest sister why her name was "Youzi" and whether she was not afraid of giving birth to another daughter...
A bold guess vaguely emerged in Su Tianli's mind.
Next, Su Tianli continued to look through other photos.
finally--
She found more detailed clues in a group photo with an inscription.
This is a graduation photo. There are about thirty young men and women in the photo. The words "Group photo of the 54th senior high school graduating class of Shuita Township School, Ning County, Hunan Province" are printed on the photo.
Although Su Tianli did not find Tian Xiu in this photo,
But she found the young man's name - Tang Hui.
Soon, Su Tianli found a new clue - the young Tian Xiu appeared in another graduation photo, and the photo was written with the words "Group photo of the 53rd grade senior class of Shuita Township School, Ning County, Hunan Province".
So, Tian Xiu and the young man named "Tang Hui" are senior and junior students from the same school but different classes?
Su Tianli looked at her watch and found that it was almost time.
So she quickly restored the iron box, put the items back in their original places, locked the door, and left the master bedroom.
Next, she tidied up the house a little and pretended to do housework.
Su Tiancai was the first to arrive home, carrying vegetables he had just picked from the garden. As soon as he entered the house, he was busy cooking and washing vegetables...
After a while, Tian Xiu also came back in a hurry.
She was holding a net bag in her hand, and in the bag was a heavy lunch box.
However, as soon as Tian Xiu saw Su Tianli, his face fell.
The words "Why are you here again?" were almost carved on his face.
Su Tianli seemed unaware and asked with a smile, "Mom, what should we eat for lunch today?"
Tian Xiu said unhappily, "Your elder sister will have her period in a few days, so I bought some red date chicken soup for her."
Su Tianli smiled when she heard it, "Really? That's too coincidental, right? Mom, I also had my period these few days..."
Tian Xiu's face was as gloomy as water.
