After finishing the meal, Su Xia took a basket, which contained a pound of pork belly, a pound of spareribs, a packet of brown sugar, and a bag of malted milk.
I hung up my bicycle and prepared to go to the next village to visit my parents.
Chen Jianguo stood aside and asked again, "Wife, don't you want me to go with you?"
Su Xia couldn't help rolling her eyes and reiterated, "No, I can handle it myself and will be back soon."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo showed an aggrieved expression, and even Niu Niu and Dabao couldn't bear to look at it.
괗Bao also comforted his father, "Dad, Mom didn't take me with her, let alone you?"
Chen Jianguo was stunned, then looked at his naughty son, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
괗Bao acted as if he didn't see it, and acted coquettishly to Su Xia, "Mom, come back soon, I will miss you."
Su Xia gave Xiaobao a kiss and said, "Okay, be a good boy. I'll be back soon."
Xiaobao was happy when he heard this, but when he looked at his father, he looked smug, as if to say, "Look, Mom likes me, not you."
Chen Jianguo had a dark face, but he didn't do anything to his youngest son, Xiaobao.
Niu Niu and Dabao laughed so hard while watching this.
In less than a cup of tea, Su Xia arrived at the next village. Because it was lunch break time, she didn't meet anyone along the way.
When Su Xia arrived at Su's house and opened the door, the sound startled Su's father and mother who were resting in the house.
The two men immediately sat up and looked at each other. "Did someone come in?"
After saying this, Su's mother went downstairs, but was stopped by Su's father. "I'll go, you take care of Haoran."
Upon hearing this, Su's mother immediately looked at her grandson who was sleeping on the kang and did not refuse.
As soon as Su's father walked out of the main hall in his slippers, he ran into Su Xia who was parking the car.
Then Su Xia was stunned in disbelief. Looking at her father, it seemed that nothing had changed. He was still the same.
I felt relieved and smiled. "Dad, why don't you recognize me?"
Father Su blinked and yelled in surprise, "Daughter, why are you back?"
Su Xia....
“What are you saying? This will kill my family, and I can’t come back?”
Father Su shook his head, thinking that he had not reacted in time and seemed to have said something wrong.
Seeing Su Xia was unloading things, he hurried forward to help this one.
"Aren't you from the county town? Why did you come back by yourself?"
Su Xia handed the basket to Father Su and took his other hand. "Come on, go in first. We'll come back and take a look during the weekend."
Father Su was relieved when he heard this, and he didn't even think about the quarrel between the couple.
Chen Jianguo...Father-in-law, how dare you?
Half an hour later, Su Xia sat on the kang, with little Haoran soundly sleeping beside her. His little body was chubby, and his hands and feet were clean without any dirt. It was obvious that Su's mother had taken good care of him.
Su's father and mother were in no hurry to go to work. Since Su's mother didn't go, it didn't matter if Su's father went late. The old couple had no mood to go out when they saw their daughter coming.
In the past half hour, Su Xiaxiao learned about what happened in the Su family.
It's just that she doesn't know how to persuade the two old people.
After thinking for a long time, he said, "Mom and Dad, why don't you just take Haoran back to the county town? Haoran will go back sooner or later anyway."
After hearing what their daughter said quite late, Su's father and mother were silent for a long time, and did not reject it immediately as before.
Su Xia saw this and thought there was a good chance. He continued to persuade them, "Don't worry about the food problem. You can go there with my household registration. That way you can get food supplies from the city and receipts."
Upon hearing this, Su's father and mother relaxed their shoulders. Sunan and Xiaoxue had discussed this matter long ago. After all, the two of them had been working in the county town. Besides, the eldest brother...
Why....
Let’s not talk about it!
Su Xia gave the next dose of strong medicine, "Mom and Dad, we are going to the county town, and Dabao and Baodu are going to Xiaoxue's school. Haoran can be sent there when the time comes. If you go there, Xiaoxue can give birth to her first child!"
Su's mother raised her head, opened her mouth, and looked at Su's father. In fact, Su's mother didn't mind going to the county town, but the old man was reluctant to let her go.
Father Su sighed, "Wait a little longer. After we finish the food, we will move out. No one will look after the things at home."
Whoosh....
Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Father Su had already made plans. She looked at Mother Su and saw that the gloom on her face when she came in had disappeared completely.
"By the way, Dad, what are you going to do about Big Brother?"
Su's father and mother slumped their shoulders, and Xu Su's mother said unhappily, "Let the eldest brother figure it out!"
Su Xia rolled her eyes when she heard this. "Do you think Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law can let you go?"
"Who can you blame? After Su Qiu graduated from junior high school, your father and I tried to persuade him to continue his studies, but he didn't want to. Now that he can't find a job, he starts to blame this and that. He deserves it!" Su's mother said harshly.
Su's father sat aside, smoking an unlit cigarette, and did not refute Su's mother's words.
Su Xia didn't say anything. In fact, the matter was not big or small. Su Qiu was the eldest son of the eldest brother. He graduated from junior high school two years ago. At the beginning, there was no recruitment, so he naturally went to his family to help with farming.
Later, when he went to Beijing, Sunan sent him recruitment information for a textile factory and a canning factory. Su Xia didn't know about it at the time.
Su Nan and Su's father and mother also specifically asked their eldest brother to urge Su Qiu to study hard. It was a good thing that they promised, but unfortunately, nothing happened in the end.
Now, Xiaoxiao has started to make trouble for Su's father and mother, and the implicit meaning of his words is to ask Su Nan for help.
But Su Nan didn't want to care. He had given Su Qiu a chance before. It was Su Qiu's own fault. Who could he blame? Besides, where could he find a job now?
Su Xia curled her lips, looked at Su's father and mother with worried faces, and said unhappily, "I say, big brother might as well spend money to buy a job for Su Qiu and wait for him to take the exam himself. He might pass it in a few months, but still fail!"
Su's father and mother were stunned for a moment, and then the corners of their mouths twitched, but their daughter's voice remained unchanged.
Su Xia continued, "Don't say good things about Su Qiu. Some people are just stupid. Su Qiu is like that. He can't keep an eye on the books, so he can just do farm work."
Su's parents' lips trembled, wanting to refute, but they really had no excuse. Su Qiu was of average appearance and height. Logically, his four children were all good at studying, so why was it so difficult for him...
Su Xia saw it and said directly, "Don't forget that your sister-in-law is illiterate and has no brains."
If it were someone else, Su's father and mother would definitely scold them immediately, saying how could they talk about their sister-in-law like that. However, if it were their daughter, who was the smartest in the family, Su's father and mother really didn't dare to scold her.
And the one from the old house is really stupid, not even as good as the one from the old house. She always stands behind and it is she who benefits.
“What should we do? Your eldest brother and sister-in-law don’t listen to anything else. They just want to send Su Qiu to the county town. Even if we move away, we still have to go back.”
Father Su knew that his eldest grandson was not only stupid but also did not work hard. He was taught by his parents to be ambitious. Since they were not from the same village, he really did not want to take care of him.
Su Xia thought for a while after hearing this and decided to go back to Sunan to discuss it. For the sake of Su's parents, she couldn't just ignore it. As for what to do, it was not up to them.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. Su Nan will definitely find someone. If you meet Big Brother, persuade him again. Don't keep staring at recruiting workers. If it doesn't work, you can hire an apprentice or a temporary worker. They can also add a little money. It's not that they don't have any. After Su Qiu gets a job, they will slowly pay you back!"
Upon hearing this, Su's father and mother felt relieved. Their daughter said this because she was thinking about her. As for the eldest grandson, anything was fine. If he really couldn't make it, he could go back to the village to farm.
Su's father and mother decided in their hearts that they could not give the old family hope, so they should take it slow, because they were the stupid ones anyway!
