Sun Yuying was very happy to see Yu Sui accept the money, and she kept muttering while eating:
"Your dad said that if we work hard and save money these days, even if Yu Cheng wants to marry a fairy from the city, we can still afford a high-end wedding with banquets in restaurants. Oh, look at what your dad is thinking. He's quite knowledgeable. I don't understand at all, hahaha!"
Yu Sui looked at Xia Xiao'e's eyes, and the light suddenly dimmed.
Yu Cheng put the bowl on the table with a "pop" sound:
"Mom! What are you talking about? I'm in my twenties and still studying. Talking about marriage? Oh, you and Dad are thinking too far ahead. Even if I were to get married, I wouldn't marry someone from the city. What's so good about city girls? They're all delicate and can't do anything. I'd rather find someone from my hometown!"
"Wow!" Sun Yuying was quite surprised:
"Okay, Mom also hopes that you can find someone from our hometown. Hey, are there any classmates from our hometown in your school? It would be great if you could find a university in the same place as us like your sister. If you can get into your university, the family must be well-educated!"
Yu Cheng glanced at Xia Xiao'e almost imperceptibly and interrupted her: "Mom, eat, eat, why are you talking so much? What are you talking about? I have to go back to school after eating. I have to register tomorrow!"
Sun Yuying rolled her eyes at him and complained to Yu Sui, "Tell your second sister to see this! It's really serious now. If I say anything, she'll give me a cold look. She thinks I'm in college now, so great! She won't let me speak!"
Yu Sui quickly tried to smooth things over: "Mom, he's not telling you not to talk. He's just shy and embarrassed to talk about this. Young people nowadays are like this. Xiao'e is the same. There are many city boys in Xiao'e's school who like her, but Xiao'e doesn't like them, so she never mentions it. It's good for them not to mention it so that they can focus on their studies."
Sun Yuying looked at Xia Xiaoe, then at Yu Cheng, pursed her lips and said nothing more.
The brief silence was awkward, but fortunately the three children joined in the fun. Yu Lanlan picked up some food for Sun Yuying and said, "Grandma, have some shredded pork. Aunt Xiao'e said this is made for you."
Sun Yuying: "Oh, what a good child, ah, they are all good children, Aunt Xiao'e is also a good child."
Yu Cheng finished his meal in a few mouthfuls and ran to the corner of the room to look for something: "Where are my socks, clothes, and woolen blanket? I'll take them and leave, mother."
Sun Yuying snorted: "Whatever you want!"
Then Yu Cheng called out again, "Xia Xiao'e, where did you put my bag just now? I saw you pick it up."
Xia Xiao'e: "Isn't it right under that?"
"Where? Hey, can't you help me find it?"
Xia Xiao'e looked at Sun Yuying with some concern, but still stood up to help Yu Cheng look for it: "You really are this person, isn't it this bag? Which one else are you looking for?"
Yu Sui saw Yu Cheng slip a small note to Xia Xiaoe.
Xia Xiao'e was stunned.
Yu Cheng glared at her: "Also, last time you insisted on taking this book to read, where is it? Give it back to me."
Xia Xiao'e looked at the note in her hand, her face suddenly turned red, and she ran to the room she shared with Yu Sui.
After a while, she came out with the book Yu Cheng had lent her last time: "I'm returning it to you."
Yu Cheng took the book and glanced at it casually, then continued to look through things.
Xia Xiao'e stood aside, glancing at Yu Sui's table several times before finally whispering, "Why haven't you been looking for a fur bag for so long? How about I get you one first?"
Then Yu Sui saw Xia Xiao'e take out a small woolen bag from her pocket and hand it to Yu Cheng.
Yu Cheng picked it up and took a look. From Yu Sui’s angle, he could just see the words on it - good friends.
Ha, hahahaha, cough cough cough!
Yu Sui choked on the soup she had just taken and started coughing before she could swallow it.
Sun Yuying frowned: "Oh, you are so stupid, you can drink soup like this, and no one is competing with you for it."
Yu Sui coughed and laughed: "No, no, it was just an accident."
When he looked up after the coughing stopped, Yu Cheng was gone, but Xia Xiao'e had returned to her room.
In the evening, Yu Sui saw Xia Xiao'e sitting at the desk under the window and smiling.
Yu Sui: "What are you thinking about, happy girl? You're laughing so happily, if you tell me about it, I'll laugh too."
Xia Xiao'e: "No, sister-in-law, I just thought about going to school tomorrow."
Yu Sui didn't ask any further: "Have you packed your things?"
"Everything is fine."
"If there's anything you need from your sister-in-law, just tell me."
"Nothing... Oh, sister-in-law, can you give me a few sheets of the paper you used to write letters to my eldest brother? I might... um, write letters to my classmates."
Yu Sui looked at Xia Xiao'e's slightly red ears, nodded with a smile, and stuffed a small wallet into her hand: "Xiao, I'll give it to you later. And this money is from your sister-in-law, just for you. Keep it."
Xia Xiao'e didn't dare to take it: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? You paid for my tuition and food. I have food and clothes. Why do you need change?"
"You need to buy stamps to send a letter? Or if you want to buy some food or toys between classmates, just take it if my sister-in-law gives it to you."
Xia Xiao'e took it carefully, opened it and took a look, then immediately returned it to Yu Sui: "There are so many, I can't take it!"
Yu Sui: "Xiao E, my sister-in-law gave it to you for a reason. Girls need some money to protect themselves. Don't borrow money from others casually. You can save money on your own. If you don't need it now, just keep it. Anyway, you should have some money in your pocket.
For example, if you're out with your classmates and you end up arguing, how do you get back to school? If you don't have money, you might ask your classmates for help, but if you do have money, you can just call a taxi and leave. That's a lot of power, right? That's how it works, okay?
"Hahaha!" Xia Xiao'e smiled and hugged Yu Sui: "Xian, I'll keep it. Sister-in-law, I will remember all your kindness."
The next day, Xia Xiao'e also went to school, bringing a large stack of stationery.
Yu Sui started moving with Sun Yuying.
There weren't many things, and Yu Sui had space, so apart from the daily clothes she couldn't hide and had to let Sun Yuying move them, she didn't take any other large items, using the excuse that they belonged to the landlord.
After he and Sun Yuying moved all their things to the new yard, Yu Sui came back, moved all the things in the house to the replacement space, and sold them all at once. How convenient!
Sun Yuying loved the new yard very much. She was delighted no matter how she looked at it. She smiled from ear to ear and kept sighing: "Oh, I wish this house was ours. It's so quiet and clean. The rent is not cheap, right?"
Yu Sui: "It's not cheap, but with so many of us now, we can't afford not to rent a big house. And my small factory in the north is profitable, so I can afford it, don't worry."
"That's good, otherwise I'd be worried about Xia Lin. You really are good at spending money. The curtains and other things in your yard are all new, right? Tsk tsk, they're all money! Speaking of which, Xia Xiao'e is really good in this regard. She's incredibly frugal. She even scraped the layer of rice cakes at the bottom of the pot yesterday. How could she compare to you, who's so extravagant."
Yu Sui: "Xia Xiao'e is not only frugal, but also very capable. If someone marries her as a daughter-in-law, it would be a blessing."
