Although the children are on vacation, Su Qinghu really doesn't have the energy to go out and play with them.
So, after giving the children enough funds, Su Qinghu rested well at home.
He also specifically reminded Aunt Yu not to wake her up for dinner.
With Erdan who is good at playing and Dadan who is good at planning, Su Qinghu was unable to see her child for three days.
If the child hadn't reported it and the adults hadn't supported him, Su Qinghu would never have been able to be so patient as to not go find the child.
On the morning of the fourth day, when Su Qinghu got up, she saw three children sitting neatly in the living room.
She: “…back?”
"Mom, we brought you breakfast." Erdan smiled. "It's a very rich breakfast. We got up early in the morning and went to many places to find the breakfast places we usually go to."
In the past, on weekends, as long as Su Qinghu had nothing to do, he would take his children to find something delicious.
Later, the child found something delicious and took her there to taste it.
After saying this, she suddenly felt hungry.
She only ate until she was 60% full last night, so she was actually fine this morning. But when the child said that, the color, aroma and taste of all the food quickly came to her mind.
Hungry.
"Wait a few minutes for me." Su Qinghu said, quickly tied up her hair and went to wash up.
Five minutes later, several people were already sitting at the dining table.
Aunt Yu was not at home. She left a note on the dining table saying that she was going to buy groceries and that the children would bring her the food and asked her to wait a moment.
Su Qinghu looked at the note and asked, "Have you contacted Grandma Yu in advance?"
"Yeah." Xiaoli Tuan'er nodded, "Give Mom a surprise."
My brother said that since we had been out playing for so long, we should prepare a surprise for Mom so that we wouldn’t get scolded.
Su Qinghu was indeed surprised. In fact, she also wanted to eat, but this trip had drained a lot of her energy, and she really didn't want to go out.
"Is the money enough?" Su Qinghu asked while eating.
Erdan: "That's enough. There's still fifty dollars left."
He said, raising his hand.
Su Qinghu agreed with his antics and nodded, "Go ahead."
"Mom, the New Year is coming soon. Can I use this money to buy something for my brother Li Tuaner and Duoduo to visit the elderly?" Duoduo had already given him fifty yuan in advance.
If Ms. Su agrees, they will have one hundred yuan in retirement funds.
"I'll give you an extra fifty." Su Qinghu raised his hand slightly, "I hope you can deliver this New Year's supplies to someone who really needs it."
"Don't worry, Mom. We've discussed this with Grandpa. This time, we're targeting teachers and veterans," Dadan added. "The candidates are a combination of the list Erdan and I compiled and the one Grandpa gave us. We've selected a few people from both lists."
Su Qinghu was about to add more money when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "How much money have you raised so far? How much is left?"
Erdan has been saying "many hands make light work" recently. Now that he wants to start something, how can he possibly do it alone?
"Duoduo and his uncle chipped in fifty yuan, Grandpa chipped in fifty yuan, Grandma chipped in fifty yuan, my great-aunt chipped in a hundred yuan, Mom chipped in fifty yuan, and my eldest brother, Li Tuan'er, and I chipped in fifty yuan. That's all we've raised so far." Erdan counted on his fingers and told Su Qinghu the amount he'd raised before moving on to the next question. "We don't have a target. As the saying goes, the more, the better. That way, we can hold many events to honor the elderly."
He was also planning to go begging for alms from his brothers. Fifty or ten cents wouldn't be too little, one or two yuan would be the best...
Su Qinghu pondered for a while, asked the children to wait, stood up, and went out to make a phone call.
The call was made to Zhao Liangyan, and the matter of the child was mentioned. He was hoped that he could find someone who specializes in public welfare to guide the child through the process, so that the child would not end up in a thankless task and be heartbroken.
Zhao Liangyan: "I'll ask my wife to bring some people over, and she can also take a look at what's going on."
"She's back?" Su Qinghu was surprised. "I heard Cheng Qian say that she will stay there until March next year."
"She can only stay for three days and then she has to leave." Zhao Liangyan felt a little distressed, but seeing his wife's energetic look, he swallowed back all the words that might become an obstacle for her.
"Don't let her take care of it. Find someone else." Su Qinghu frowned. "If possible, take a day off to accompany her."
Zhao Liangyan heard Su Qinghu's good intentions and sighed, "She won't let me accompany her."
On the first day after returning, I met with various friends.
Today is the second day, and she came to his unit to accompany him.
But now, the person is wandering around the workplace and told him that he will not come tomorrow.
If it weren't for the heated relationship between them these past two days, he would have suspected that his wife wanted a divorce...
"..." Su Qinghu was speechless, "Are you sure?"
Zhao Liangyan lost confidence after this question. He hesitated for a long time before saying that he would find someone else for Su Qinghu and he would go to accompany his wife.
Su Qinghu hung up the phone and turned around to see three heads huddled together, quietly listening to her.
"Mom, Grandpa is doing this kind of thing now. If you need someone to take care of it, we can ask him." Erdan asked in confusion, "Have you forgotten?"
Su Qinghu: "I haven't forgotten. But the people who helped your grandfather didn't take a penny of salary. They did it purely out of love and respect. Seeing that the New Year is almost here, you should let them go and let her rest."
She was afraid that this retired old lady would immerse herself in spontaneous charity work all day and cause family conflicts.
"Oh." Erdan nodded, "I see."
but,
"What if my brother and I pay for her?" Erdan thought wildly. "She's super awesome."
Isn’t it better to go to her than to anyone else?
Su Qinghu: "Do you think she will accept it? How do you make her accept it?"
Erdan looked at Dadan, then at Xiaoli Tuaner who was waiting for his explanation, and closed his eyes. "She probably won't accept it, so I'm going to throw the money to her and run!"
Su Qinghu: "..."
What a good trick, it doesn't require any brainpower at all.
"What if she donated the money you threw away, or gave it to your grandfather and asked him to bring it to you?" Should she accept it or not?
Erdan: “…”
Adults are really annoying. They keep pushing and refusing, which is not pleasant at all.
Unlike Ms. Su Qinghu, she never refused anything they gave her, and would even ask them for it.
Su Qinghu didn't know what he was mumbling in his heart, but seeing him lower his head and think for a while, he pointed out a clear way, "Go ask your great-aunt."
Silly boy, it doesn't matter what she does with the money, what matters is that she accepted it.
If she doesn't accept it, donating the money on her behalf will also help her maintain her integrity.
"Mom?" Erdan looked at Su Qinghu's expression and asked softly, "Are you laughing at us?"
Ms. Su must have some ideas in her mind.
