Su Shuoci drove his wife and daughter home and went into the kitchen to cook. Gu Jiaojiao was angry with her daughter today and wanted to talk to her.
While talking to her mother, Su Su called her godfather Zhou Zhenhui in Gangcheng.
[Godfather, when my eldest and second brothers have their holidays, we will go visit you and Lulu together.]
[Okay, Susu, your brothers are not at home, do you want to come to Gangcheng to teach your sister Lulu how to read and write?]
Susu thought about her three-year-old sister Lulu and wondered how she could teach her. So she decisively refused.
"That won't do. There are still many people here who need Su Su's protection! How about you and Aunt Su give birth to another brother, and let my parents take care of Lulu?"
Zhou Zhenhui answered the phone while holding his daughter, and the phone was still on speakerphone. Zhou Lu in his arms heard Su Su's words and immediately spoke.
[Su...Su, I'll have a little brother soon. When you guys get here, take Lulu away. I miss my brother Xuanxuan.]
[Okay, okay, Lulu, we'll just bring your sister over this time. Godfather, I'm hanging up now.]
After Su Su finished speaking, she hung up the phone with a snap, then ran to her mother and acted coquettishly: "Mom, let's go and bring Lu Tinglu from Uncle Zhou's house over this time."
"Okay, Susu, do you smell the fragrance? It should be time to eat. Go wipe the table now."
Gu Jiaojiao smelled a rich fragrance coming from the kitchen, so she called her daughter to wipe the table and prepare for dinner.
Although she and Su Shuoci doted on their daughter, they never let her avoid doing housework.
If children are not allowed to do housework, they will not be able to do anything after a long time and it will harm them.
Children will gradually take it for granted that housework is the responsibility of their elders.
Sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor and the care of their elders every day, in this era where labor is glorious, even children with a conscience will find it very tormenting after a long time.
Children without conscience will naturally rely on their parents for support when they grow up, and will feel resentful if their parents cannot provide them with a comfortable life.
"Mom, it's time to eat. Look, all the dishes my dad cooked are your favorite." Su Su complained loudly while setting the table.
"Is there really nothing that Susu likes to eat? How come I find that you usually like to eat fried chicken the most?" Gu Jiaojiao teased her with a smile.
"Hehe, Susu is mommy's little cutie, so her taste is the same as mommy's."
"Susu, please set the table and sit down to eat. Dad will serve you soup later." Su Shuoci said as he took off his apron.
The family of three finished their meal happily and took a walk in the yard to digest the food. The happy days passed quickly.
The end of the month is almost here, and this time Su Shuoci drove alone to the northwest to pick up his second son Xuanxuan.
Usually, the couple would take Susu and drive together to pick up the eldest child Wenwen first and then pick up Xuanxuan.
The eldest son, Wenwen, is in a special school in the suburbs of the imperial capital. With him are Mu Ziquan's eldest son and Xia Qiuming's eldest son.
They are three years older than Wenwen and are eight years old this year. The other children are around thirteen years old.
But they studied the same courses, because Wenwen was a genius and had a photographic memory.
This time, Gu Jiaojiao had a major operation to perform personally, so Wenwen was picked up by the Mu family's driver.
Susu was at her grandmother's house. The Gu family had three children. The second brother Gu had a daughter and a son.
Brother Gu and Geng Susu's son is already three years old. The couple are busy with their respective careers and have no plans to have a second child.
On the way back from picking up Xuanxuan, Su Shuoci and his son were chatting happily when they saw a slovenly old man blocking his car with his hands outstretched.
"Dad, is this old man trying to scam me?" Xuanxuan said angrily.
"You've got the nerve to try to scam your dad. Xuanxuan, sit tight. Dad will get down and throw him away."
Su Shuoci got out of the car after he finished speaking. Just as he was about to take a step, he heard a familiar voice, "Boy, do you still recognize this old man?"
"Senior?" Su Shuoci was stunned. "Is it really you? How have you been after all these years?"
Isn’t this the old Taoist priest he saved a few years ago?
He was the one who gave his wife that space!
"Boy, do you think I'm living well like this? I sleep under the overpass every night and set up a stall on the overpass during the day."
"Then are you willing to go home with me?" Su Shuoci asked hopefully. If he had not met the old man, he didn't know what his life would be like.
He joined the army at a young age, experienced the ups and downs of the undercover front, made great contributions, and reached the pinnacle of life.
But I have also experienced hurt, witnessed the good and evil of human nature, and fallen into the lowest point in life.
"Will I dirty your car if I'm so dirty?" The sloppy old man did not refuse directly.
"The car can be washed if it's dirty. It's okay. May I ask what your name is, senior?" Su Shuoci was still very respectful to the old man.
Xuanxuan thought his father would kick the sloppy old man away, but he stood in the middle of the road and talked to him respectfully.
"Dad, do you know him? There are several cars behind us honking their horns!"
"Senior, please get in the car. The car behind is pressing us." Su Shuoci said as he grabbed the old man, opened the car door and stuffed him into the car.
He said to his second son seriously, "Xuanxuan, call me grandpa. If it weren't for this grandpa, our family wouldn't have lived such a good life."
"I didn't help you in any way. Instead, you saved my life." The old man said in confusion.
Su Shuoci walked to the front driver's seat, started the car, and then turned around and said, "Do you still remember the jade pendant?"
"You're not going to sell that jade pendant to make a fortune, are you? It's our Ye family's heirloom. Then you'll have to help me take care of myself until I die."
“…”
Su Shuoci observed the old man's reaction through the rearview mirror. It turned out that he didn't know that the jade pendant was a space!
But it's not surprising. He had been wearing the jade pendant for several years and didn't notice any difference.
Hearing the old man's words, Xuanxuan was dumbfounded. He angrily asked, "Grandpa, since you failed in your fraud attempt, you're trying to blackmail my dad?"
"What am I blackmailing you for? Didn't you hear your father say that it was because he sold our family heirlooms that he made his fortune and that's how you guys can afford to drive a car?"
"Dad, is what grandpa said true?" Xuanxuan asked weakly.
"You could say that, but your jade pendant was given to me as a token of gratitude for saving my life..."
Before Su Shuoci could finish his words, he heard the old man's tearful defense.
“That jade pendant is indeed passed down through generations of our Ye family. I originally wanted to give it to my sister’s daughter.
Who knew that my sister never gave birth to a daughter, so I later thought of giving it to my sister's granddaughter.
However, before my granddaughter was born, our Ye family fell into decline and I, an old man, was forced to flee to the border.
Back then, you saved me, an old man, so I thought of giving you the jade pendant. Who knows, my sister might see it one day and come looking for me. But I didn't expect you to never come back! "
After hearing this, Su Shuoci realized that this old man was lying to him!
