Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Late at night, I sat around the fire with a few close friends and made tea...
Su Tianli walked under the starlight back to her rental house on Shaou Street.
To her surprise,
Grandma, Ajuan, Mao Li, Zhang Wei, Yao Meiyu, Cheng Yu... Are you all here? !
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her.
Su Tianli asked curiously, "You guys didn't set up a stall today?"
No way!
Before she went out this morning, she saw everyone preparing to set up their stalls!
and--
How did Cheng Yu get discharged from the hospital?
Didn’t we agree that you would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow?
Yao Meiyu said at the side: "We are all back!"
Su Tianli was shocked when she heard this. She looked at the clock on the wall and said, "It's only a little after eight o'clock..."
Ajuan explained: "We came back after we sold all the things."
Su Tianli was even more surprised, "Business is so good?"
Yao Meiyu snorted and turned her head to the side.
Su Tianli looked at Yao Meiyu, confused.
Mao Li laughed and said, "Those young men who came to collect our protection fee the day before... have turned over a new leaf today! They no longer collect protection fees, but instead help us to cheer for them!"
Zhang Wei also said: "They were so loud that they attracted a lot of people, so we sold out all the snacks before 7 o'clock..."
Yao Meiyu pouted and said to Su Tianli, "We have been worried about you all the way. We were afraid that you would come and miss us on the way. We were also afraid that you would not come and get bullied over there."
"We were just discussing it. Zhang Wei said he wanted to ride his bike back to the factory to find you..."
"Litchi, you——"
"My parents got divorced today, and I was busy at the factory over there all day." Su Tianli said lightly.
I have to say——
I don’t know if the house near the chemical plant still has the scent of Tian Xiu and Su Youzi, even though they have left.
But Su Tianli still couldn't like that home.
Staying in that house, she still felt depressed and unhappy, and couldn't really relax.
But this home is different.
Even though it was just an old rented house, Su Tianli felt very comfortable and warm.
She said this and ran to the side to get a glass of boiled water.
Unexpectedly——
Everyone gathered around at once.
Grandma, "Litchi, I left some food for you. The food is good today... I'll go heat it up for you!"
A Juan, "Second sister, boiled water has no taste. Can I pour you a cup of mung bean water?"
Yao Meiyu, "I bought some pickled cabbage and meat buns at the night market. They're delicious. Would you like to try the lychee buns?"
Mao Li, "Lychee, do you want scallion pancake? I saved one for you..."
Zhang Wei, "Lychee, they gave you so much to eat, if you feel sick of it, just eat an apple!"
Su Tianli smiled.
See, this is what home feels like.
The food doesn’t have to be delicious, the tea doesn’t have to be lukewarm,
But it will definitely make people feel satisfied and relaxed.
Su Tianli would not let down the concern of every family member, so she responded to everyone one by one.
Finally, everyone started discussing: It’s already so late, let’s not waste coal briquettes to make fried rice.
It just so happened that they bought a small charcoal stove today, so why not use it to burn some charcoal, set up a wire mesh, put the food in the tin lunch box on the wire mesh to heat it up, and then heat up the mung bean water...
Oh, yes, you can also bake the buns...
In this way, everyone sat around the small charcoal stove, put the tin lunch box on the iron net, and poured some cold boiled water into the lunch box.
Everyone started eating and drinking.
Friends and family are still chatting:
Zhang Wei, "Just three days ago, I couldn't even eat enough! I never thought... I would actually have a day when I could eat enough! And I could eat to my heart's content every meal!"
Mao Li also laughed, "Who said it wasn't true? Three days ago, I cried almost every day. I either cried because my parents ignored me, or I cried because my nephew beat me or my sister-in-law chased me away... Now you see, I'm busy like a top every day, so I don't have time to think about those bad things!"
Old Mrs. Su sighed, "When I was in my hometown, there was no meat to eat. Now I have meat for every meal! Li Zhi also bought so many eggs and asked me to make expensive dishes such as steamed eggs and lean meat patties... I only lived a good life when I was old and sick!"
Ajuan said: "I used to be exhausted at home, but I didn't make a penny. Now I am still exhausted, but we make a lot of money!"
Yao Meiyu also said: "My parents and my brother used to say I was a waste, but now they don't say that anymore..."
Su Tianli ate two mouthfuls of rice and half a baked bun, and couldn't eat any more.
She took an apple, cut off a quarter of it with a knife and ate it herself.
This apple is sweet, crispy, refreshing and juicy. It’s so delicious!
However, everyone was probably too full, and no one wanted the remaining three quarters of the apple she had eaten.
Finally she handed the apple to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu sat upright on the chair, with his long legs bent;
I just listened quietly to what everyone said.
Seeing Su Tianli handing him half an apple, he took it obediently.
Su Tianli finally looked Cheng Yu straight in the eye.
——He is indeed very handsome!
His head was shaved bald and wrapped in gauze.
But her eyebrows were long and thick, her eyes were slightly closed, and her eyeballs, hidden by her long eyelashes, refracted the light from the not-so-bright bulb, shining like gemstones.
Su Tianli's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She immediately dropped her eyes.
I accidentally saw his hand again.
His right hand was still wrapped thickly in gauze.
His left hand was intact, holding the apple she handed over and moving it towards his mouth.
Then she opened her mouth and took a bite of the white apple... Her thin rosy lips came into contact with the white flesh at a negative distance, and two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her lips.
Su Tianli quickly turned her head away, wondering what kind of male demon this guy was.
Even after being injured like this, with only her face left after being bandaged with gauze, she can still be so beautiful!
She found a chance and asked Zhang Wei, "Wasn't Cheng Yu discharged from the hospital tomorrow? Why is he discharged today?"
Zhang Wei smiled. "When I went to deliver breakfast to him today, it was... quite boring, wasn't it? I told him, didn't he ask me to make a bracket that can match the back seat of a bicycle yesterday?"
"I did it, but my craftsmanship can't stand the test! That bracket...it's falling apart again!"
As soon as she heard this, Su Tianli couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Zhang Wei also laughed and pointed at Cheng Yu and said, "Then this guy told me that he wanted to be discharged from the hospital."
"I said it's not necessary. Just rest well in the hospital and we'll talk about it when you get better."
"He refused, saying it was uncomfortable to lie down every day."
"I even advised him that there was no need to rush to be discharged from the hospital just for a stent. He refused and later rang the bell to call the nurse..."
So Zhang Wei asked the doctor whether Cheng Yu could be discharged from the hospital in this condition.
The doctor said I could be discharged from the hospital, and prescribed a lot of medicines, and told me a lot of things to pay attention to.
And just like that, Cheng Yu was discharged from the hospital.
After arriving home, Cheng Yu fell asleep immediately.
After waking up, he went to the yard to tinker with the bracket that Zhang Wei had failed to fix.
Hammering, sew-ing,
In short, Cheng Yu went back to his room and went to sleep when he was tired.
Wake up and tinker again...
Finally, before setting up the stall in the afternoon, Cheng Yu repaired the bracket to make it stable and secure.
Hearing this, Su Tianli asked him, "Cheng Yu, are your eyes better?"
Cheng Yu answered succinctly, "I can see clearly during the day, but not at night when the light is bad."
Su Tianli asked again, "Are you still dizzy?"
Cheng Yu replied again, "If I feel dizzy, I will go to sleep."
Su Tianli continued to ask: "Are there any other symptoms?"
Cheng Yu replied: "There is noise in my ears, as if it is my own heartbeat, and the sound of my blood flowing in my veins... It is very loud. When you talk, I have to listen very carefully to hear clearly."
Then he raised his left hand holding the apple, "It's shaking...sometimes I can't control it."
"Then you should have a good rest and do less work." Su Tianli said.
Cheng Yu said okay.
Then Su Tianli turned to Yao Meiyu and said, "I didn't come all day today because my parents are divorced..."
Yao Meiyu nodded repeatedly, "My dad told me!"
Su Tianli also guessed it, everyone already knew it.
after all--
She told this as soon as she came back, but no one was surprised.
Everyone cares about her feelings...
After thinking about it, she felt that it must be Yao's father who worked in the same factory who heard the news and told Yao Meiyu.
Yao Meiyu said to Su Tianli again: "So I told my dad that I will stay here with you for the next few days."
Su Tianli laughed, "My parents are divorced, and my dad is the one who is upset, why are you accompanying me?"
"Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?" Yao Meiyu asked.
Su Tianli smiled and said, "Not really, but I am a little uncomfortable with it."
Yao Meiyu looked at Su Tianli.
She was Su Tianli's best friend, so she knew the situation at Su Tianli's home—her parents favored her eldest sister and ignored Su Tianli. And Su Tianli didn't seem to have any feelings for her parents.
But, I guess Mrs. Su and Ajuan are quite concerned about this issue.
So Yao Meiyu said, "Lizhi, then tell us about it!"
Su Tianli smiled and briefly explained what had happened.
Everyone was stunned.
After all, everyone heard about it from Yao Meiyu.
Yao Meiyu heard the news second-hand from her father, who only said three things:
Tian Xiu cheated on his wife, and his old lover came looking for him.
Su Youzi is not Su Dejun's daughter.
Tian Xiu and Su Dejun divorced.
After listening to the explanation of Su Tianli, who was present at the scene,
It took a long time for everyone to recover.
That night, Su Tianli and Yao Meiyu were lying on the bed chatting.
Yao Meiyu didn't dare to say many things in front of everyone.
Now I am with Su Tianli.
She exclaimed in amazement, "I can't believe it, your mother favors your eldest sister because your eldest sister is the daughter of her beloved man!"
"According to this inference, your mother doesn't care about you and your third and fourth children... because you are your father's children?"
"Tsk tsk, so your mom obviously likes your eldest sister's dad more!"
"The most shocking thing is that your eldest sister's father is an old man!"
"Oh my God, what was your mother thinking? She didn't want the young, handsome young man. She wanted an old man instead?"
Su Tianli said: "Maybe she has an Oedipus complex! She lost her father when she was young."
Yao Meiyu didn't care. "Bah! Don't tell me that... If you really say that, it's the same as if you didn't have a father. Why don't you like an old man? Su Lizhi, tell me, do you like old men or young boys?"
Su Tianli's mind inexplicably emerged a scene in which Cheng Yu sat by the window, shirtless and blindfolded...
She was so scared that she quickly shook her head and got rid of the man's shadow from her mind.
Yao Meiyu continued to talk to herself, "Others may not know you, but I know you best! You like young and beautiful girls... right? Because I also like hehehehehehe..."
At the end of the conversation, the little girl laughed strangely.
Su Tianli couldn't help laughing either.
"Hey, did that Ah Heng...come to look for you?" Su Tianli asked.
Yao Meiyu's voice suddenly dropped, "No! He is very strong-willed! He was the one who proposed the breakup, why would he come to see me?"
Su Tianli asked again, "What if he comes to see you?"
Yao Meiyu fell silent for a moment.
After a long while, she said, "My reason tells me that dating without the purpose of getting married is just hooliganism... But Lizhi, he is really good-looking, and I really can't let him go for the time being."
"Honestly speaking, if he came back to me now, I might not be able to refuse him."
"I can't help it, he's so good-looking!"
"However, I will slowly find a way to remove this person from my heart." Yao Meiyu's voice was already tinged with sobs as she spoke.
Su Tianli hugged her and said, "I knew our A-Yu was the fattest!"
"Bah!" Yao Meiyu spat at her, "Su Lizhi, you are the fattest!"
The two little sisters rolled into a ball, laughing.
After laughing and joking, Yao Meiyu asked Su Tianli in a low voice, "...I always feel that your elder sister is a time bomb."
"Before, when she really thought she had no background or connections, she was particularly annoying. Now that she knows she is the daughter of an old man and a high-ranking official, who knows what kind of trouble she will get into!"
Su Tianli, "That's none of my business. She's not my father's child, and our family doesn't have the ability to protect her. Everything from now on will be up to her."
Yao Meiyu lowered her voice again and asked, "Aren't you afraid that she won't come back? If she really doesn't come back, then your transfer order..."
Su Tianli smiled, "Don't worry, she will definitely come back."
——Even if the chemical plant is located in the suburbs, it is still under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou.
It usually takes more than an hour to take a bus to the city center, where you can visit the bustling Dadadi Night Market, the upscale Friendship Store...
That is, no money.
If I had money, I could live a good life in Guangzhou.
To put it bluntly, Su Youzi has seen the prosperity of Guangzhou, so how could he be willing to stay in that quiet and poor little town?
In the next few days, Su Tianli focused on the Su family.
She put all the 800 yuan that Su Dejun got...in her own name.
Of course, it was divided into four installments, each amount of 200 yuan, and deposited for three years.
Su Tianli did not hide anything and showed the four deposit slips to Su Dejun and Su Tiancai, and explained them one by one:
——Three years later, the policy of returning educated youth to the city must have been implemented, and the third child would definitely come back. If she wanted to marry Tan Weiming, the two hundred yuan would be her dowry, or she could use it to start a small business.
——Three years later, the fourth child will definitely take the college entrance examination. If he can pass the college entrance examination, the two hundred yuan will be his tuition. If he fails, the money can also allow him to start a small business or learn some technology.
——The two hundred dollars from dad. If he remarries, this money will belong to him and his new family.
Su Dejun and Su Tiancai fell into silence.
A moment later——
Su Tiancai spoke first, "...to go to college?"
He looked at Su Tianli in disbelief, "Second sister, are you... kidding me? My grades are terrible! How could you think I could go to college?"
Su Tianli asked him back, "If you don't want to go to college, why did you work so hard to get into high school?"
Su Tiancai was speechless.
With tears glistening in the corners of his eyes, he whispered, "...They all laughed at me, saying that I was called a genius, but actually... I was a fool! I always ranked last in the exams..."
At the end, the boy couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
Su Tianli asked him, "If you don't like this name, then change it! I mean, there's something wrong with our mom's brain. She can't judge men, and she can't raise children well. Even naming a child... makes people laugh."
"But if she wants to be a joke, we can choose not to keep up with her."
"If you want to change your name, I'll help you do some running errands while I'm free these few days. Change it if necessary!"
Su Tiancai asked with tears in his eyes: "Can it really be changed?"
"Change! Didn't I change mine?" Su Tianli said.
Su Tiancai hesitated for a long time, "But I don't know what to change it to, what do you think?"
Su Dejun interrupted, "Change it to Su Zhengyi! You always ranked last in the exams before, but once you change your name, you will always rank first in the exams."
Su Tiancai said irritably: "I can't even get first place!"
"What if?" Su Dejun was still a little unwilling, "Although I can't read, you and your sister are both my children! Your sister used to have such good grades, I don't believe you can be that bad!"
"Besides, your grades were bad before because you were always doing housework and had no time to study. Now there is not much housework to do... In the future, you will arrange housework for me, and I will do more and you will do less. Improve my academic performance! Get into college to make your father proud, so that people won't call me a loser all day long..." Su Dejun muttered.
Su Tianli said to her brother, "Don't listen to Dad, listen to yourself! I'm not asking you to change now, you can think about it first, don't be too anxious..."
Su Tiancai asked another question, "Sister, you...I..."
He was so anxious that he stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Su Tianli waited for him patiently.
After a long while, Su Tiancai finally sorted out his thoughts and asked, "...When you were still called Su Laizi before, did you hate me in your heart?"
Su Tianli finally understood what her brother was worried about.
She smiled, "I don't hate him. You know, if anyone dares to call me Su Laizi, I will first remind him not to do so. If he doesn't listen, then he did it on purpose! So I will just slap him... At worst, I will fight him or call his parents! After calling his parents, if he dares to call me Su Laizi again in the future, I will still beat him. If I slap him so many times, no one will come to me to be a jerk."
"As for whether I hate him in my heart..." Su Tianli said, "I used to hate him, but later I realized the reality and stopped hating him. Because there is no need to be angry at someone who doesn't care about me at all."
"Die, she is indeed our mother. She gave birth to us and raised us, but that is her responsibility as a mother. So she doesn't have to love us."
"In the same way, when she gets old and needs our support, I won't shirk my responsibility, but that's just my responsibility. I don't have to love her."
"Brother, don't care too much about someone who doesn't care about you at all. Every step in your life must be taken by yourself. If you care too much about a stumbling block, it will only make you stay where you are for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to move forward." Su Tianli warned her brother.
Su Tiancai lay on the table and started crying.
Su Dejun on the side also looked at Su Tianli with hesitation, "Sister, come and teach me a lesson too!"
"I don't want to say anything about you, because you are different from my brother. My brother was bullied by you guys," Su Tianli rolled her eyes at him, "You and my mom are the same breed, neither of us is a good person."
Su Dejun was anxious, "No, no! I, I really was... We were poor at that time, and it was troublesome to take care of children..."
Su Tianli interrupted him, "Yes, when I was a child I needed to be taken care of, and you found me annoying. Then when you are old and paralyzed, lying in bed unable to move, I can also find you annoying!"
Su Dejun was so anxious, "Then can't I change it now?"
"You change it?" Su Tianli found it funny. "I ask you, how do you change it?"
"When I was a child, I couldn't take care of myself and needed your care. Now that I'm an adult, you come to tell me that you regret not taking care of me before and that you will make it up to me in the future..."
"Then did the child who was hungry, cold, bullied, and cried every day missing his parents suffer in vain?"
"If you want to make amends, turn back the clock and treat your children well again."
"Otherwise, if you miss it, you miss it."
Su Dejun said blankly: "It was indeed me before... I was selfish, I only cared about living a good life and ignored you. Now I know I was wrong, I, I am not okay with being nice to you?"
Su Tianli said indifferently: "If you want to change, then change."
She's not at home, so he can do whatever he wants.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Su Dejun felt very uncomfortable when he saw his daughter's indifferent expression.
Then he brought up another matter, "Amei, just now you said that the two hundred dollars you saved for me was for my remarriage in the future?"
Su Tianli sneered, "What else? Fortunately, she broke the news before you, otherwise, you would be the one who made a fool of yourself! When the time comes, you will see who will make the final decision!"
Su Dejun's face suddenly turned blue and red.
He is not stupid.
He knew that Lizhi had no feelings for him, as could be seen from his divorce from Tian Xiu.
Lizhi had no feelings for her mother, so she watched her mother dive into the mud without trying to stop or persuade her.
Su Dejun knew very well that if anything happened to him, Lizhi probably wouldn't care.
fortunately!
Fortunately, the affair between him and Xiao Yu has not been exposed yet.
Only Su Tiancai was confused. He looked at his father and then at his sister, and asked doubtfully, "Dad, second sister...what are you talking about?"
"fine!"
"Don't mind your own business."
Su Tianli and Su Dejun said in unison.
Su Dejun lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong. I won't consider getting married again for the time being."
"Actually, I just wanted to tell you that you've actually arranged for us to do something three years from now... This really shocked me. I've never thought about things that far ahead."
"Just like you think that my brother will be admitted to university in the future, sister, can you help me think about what I will be like in the future?"
Su Dejun's words made Su Tianli completely lose her temper.
Look, this is her biological father.
In addition to a good appearance,
He is selfish, lazy, stupid and short-sighted.
He is good for nothing.
"You should work hard first, and then squeeze out some time to learn a craft!" Su Tianli said, "But be careful to avoid hurting your waist. Don't do anything that is too demanding on your waist."
According to the story background of the book "Rebirth of the 1970s Delicate Beauty" that she read,
A new era is coming soon.
Let her father find some work.
It's always better to do serious work than to be a street urchin.
Besides, if he could earn some money with his own hands in the future, it would reduce the burden on her and her younger brothers and sisters.
Su Dejun was stunned. "What kind of skill can avoid back injuries?"
"How should I know? Shouldn't you find something you are interested in and good at?" Su Tianli said unhappily, "And one more thing, you can do whatever you want, but don't bother A-di and don't delay his studies. Do you understand?"
Su Dejun said "Oh" weakly.
