It didn't take long.
Su Mingyu is back.
Zhao Meilan had no intention of telling Su Mingyu about selling the house.
"Little sister, second brother's clothes." Pointing to a bag of dirty clothes, Su Mingcheng continued to bully Su Mingyu.
Su Mingyu rolled her eyes, held out her hand and said nothing. The meaning is very clear, you have to pay for laundry.
Su Mingcheng took out fifty.
"Only fifty?" Su Mingyu was unhappy.
"Fifty at most."
Su Mingyu hesitated, took the money and clothes, and went upstairs.
Su Mingyu is still short of money, and she still needs to buy review materials.
Su Daqiang on the side watched helplessly. Fifty yuan was no longer small money to Su Daqiang. He wants it too.
Zhao Meilan makes dinner.
This time, Su Mingcheng was not idle and also helped.
The hands and feet are quite nimble and well done.
Su Daqiang had nothing to do and looked at Su Mingcheng strangely.
Su Daqiang didn't expect that Su Mingcheng, who always only talked about words, could do his job well.
"Mingcheng, do you want to buy new clothes tomorrow?" Zhao Meilan asked while cooking.
"No need, I bought my clothes last year, they are not old yet."
"Aren't you going to climb a mountain with your female classmates the day after tomorrow? Buy a sweatshirt."
"Sweatshirts are fine, too. I'll buy them tomorrow."
"Is there any money left?"
"Yes, there are quite a few more."
"Mom will give you another five hundred. You can't save money by going out with your female classmates."
"Thank you, Mom." Su Mingcheng gnawed his teeth again, "Mom, I will fry this dish. You can tell me what seasonings to add."
"Okay, you come." Zhao Meilan was not afraid that Su Mingcheng would get confused.
Su Daqiang was worried that Su Mingcheng would not be successful, but he did not dare to say anything. He just stared at him with his eyes wide open, almost like an idiot.
Soon, dinner will be ready.
Zhao Meilan still did a great job.
"Come on, let's have a try. I fried this dish." Su Mingcheng seemed to be showing off.
Zhao Meilan took a bite first and said, "Well, it's not bad."
Su Daqiang tasted it doubtfully and was a little surprised, "It seems to be good."
"Haha." Su Mingcheng smiled proudly.
Su Mingyu didn't believe it, so she took a bite and tasted it carefully.
"How about it, little sister, are the dishes cooked by your second brother okay?" Su Mingcheng looked proud.
"It's okay." Su Mingyu said what she meant. She actually felt that Su Mingcheng was no worse than Zhao Meilan for being fired.
"What do you mean it's okay? That's pretty good." Su Mingcheng looked at Su Mingzhe, "Brother, you should try it too."
Su Mingzhe had a dull temper and didn't talk much. He tasted it and said, "It's really good. It's similar to what mom makes."
"Of course, this is what mom taught me." Su Mingcheng said with a stern look on his face, "Mom, I will learn how to cook from you tomorrow."
"Okay." Zhao Meilan smiled.
"Mom, you are so good at your craftsmanship. You have to teach me everything." Su Mingcheng kept saying nice things, making Zhao Meilan smile all the time.
Su Daqiang and Su Mingyu were both a little upset when they heard this, and there were three words in their minds: 'flattering'.
Su Mingzhe was still silent. He was thinking about how to work and study in Chou Country.
Su Mingzhe has a good IQ, but his emotional intelligence is somewhat poor.
The next day.
morning.
Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan went out.
They want to continue asking people to sell their houses.
I used to sell one room.
This time we are selling three units.
Su Mingyu and Su Mingzhe are studying upstairs.
Su Mingcheng had nothing to do and went out on a bicycle.
Passing by a place selling buildings.
Su Mingcheng went in and took a look around.
Housing prices are not high. In 2007, the housing prices in Sioux City were six to seven thousand.
But in the second half of the year, it will rise to around 8,000.
Anyway, it was okay, Su Mingcheng transferred a few more properties.
I also went to a real estate agency and looked at second-hand houses.
After comprehensive consideration, Su Mingcheng has probably decided where to buy a house.
I passed by a domestic sports brand store and bought the latest sweatshirt. The price was not cheap.
After thinking about it, I picked four discounted T-shirts from a nearby store.
noon.
Back home.
"Dad, Mom, see if you like it?" Su Mingcheng took out the T-shirt.
"Why did you buy so much?" Su Daqiang's eyes widened again.
Su Mingcheng ignored Su Daqiang and said, "Mom, I bought this specially for you. You can try it."
"What clothes should you buy me?" Zhao Meilan went to try on clothes with a happy face.
"Mingcheng, is this mine?" Su Daqiang asked.
"Yes, you should try it too."
"Okay." Su Daqiang was also happy.
"Brother, little sister, come down and try on clothes." Su Mingcheng shouted.
soon.
Su Mingyu asked upstairs, "What clothes should I try on?"
"Second brother bought you a T-shirt, come down and try it on."
"Oh." Su Mingyu was a little surprised. She never thought that Su Mingcheng would buy something for her.
Su Mingzhe also came down to try on clothes.
"How's it going? Is there anything inappropriate? You can still change it." Su Mingcheng asked.
"It fits very well, very good." Su Daqiang spoke first. He felt quite satisfied. It was good to have new clothes to wear.
"It's not bad." Zhao Meilan smiled.
"It's not bad." Su Mingyu went upstairs with some joy.
"It's good, no need to change." Su Mingzhe also went upstairs.
"How much did it cost?" Su Daqiang asked quietly.
"Not much, they are all on sale." Su Mingcheng washed his hands, "Mom, I will cook today, you just need to teach me."
"Okay." Zhao Meilan agreed immediately.
Su Daqiang looked aside, went back to the bedroom, and put away his clothes.
"Mom, I just went out and looked at the building.
There is a property facing the lake to the east of our house, called Lakeside Waterfront. It is not bad and has just opened.
The price is more than 6,000 per square meter.
House prices have been rising in recent years.
It's too late for us to buy now.
It is estimated that it will rise to more than 8,000 in the second half of the year.
Gotta buy it quickly.
It's a pity that there is not much money.
Otherwise, let's buy a few more sets. "
"How many more sets should I buy?" Zhao Meilan was stunned for a moment.
She and Su Daqiang went to ask someone to sell their house today.
People heard that only the upstairs part of the house was for sale, but they were not very interested. They wanted to buy both the upstairs and downstairs.
And if you sell a house this way, the price can be even higher.
If all the houses here are sold, Su Mingzhe will definitely have no problem going to school. Then, it should be OK to pay down payments for two more houses, but the pressure to repay the loans will be greater later.
Su Daqiang was also listening. He and Zhao Meilan had similar ideas, "Mingcheng, if you buy a house, can you repay the loan?"
"Of course it can." Su Mingcheng was full of confidence.
"How can you repay your mortgage if you don't have a job?" Su Daqiang continued.
"Dad, didn't I tell you? I do import and export business with my classmates.
The import and export business is particularly easy to do now.
I can earn at least five to six thousand a month. "
"Real or false?" Su Daqiang didn't believe it. At this time, an income of two to three thousand a month is relatively normal.
"Of course it's true. My classmate's father is in the import and export business.
We've all figured out what to do.
We need to import milk powder, baby bottles, diapers, etc. from abroad.
In the future, we will also open an imported goods supermarket in Suzhou. "Su Mingcheng randomly made up a business. Anyway, the imported milk powder is very popular.
Foreign goods can be sold at high prices without worrying that no one will buy them.
"Imported milk powder?" Su Daqiang's eyes widened again. He doesn't understand this.
"It seems that many parents now ask people to buy milk powder from abroad." Zhao Meilan has heard of it.
"It's a lot, so this business is guaranteed to make a profit." Su Mingcheng continued to lie.
"So, can you afford to pay off the mortgage?" Su Daqiang confirmed again.
"Of course. Not to mention the mortgage for one house, I can afford to pay off two or three houses. I just can't pay the down payment." Su Mingcheng said.
"In that case" Su Daqiang looked at Zhao Meilan.
Zhao Meilan understood what it meant, "Let's think about it again."
Lunch is ready quickly.
"Have a try. I cooked all the dishes today." Su Mingcheng started to show off again.
"It's pretty good." Zhao Meilan tasted it first and felt that Su Mingcheng's craftsmanship was not bad.
"It's not bad." Su Daqiang also agreed.
"It's similar to what mom does." Su Mingzhe said.
"It's okay." Su Mingyu was a little surprised. Because the dishes Su Mingcheng stir-fries are really good.
Su Mingcheng casually talked about school affairs, and the atmosphere was okay.
Had a meal.
Su Mingyu and Su Mingzhe still went to the second floor to study.
Su Mingcheng went out to look at houses again.
Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan discussed selling the house.
"How about selling them all?" Su Daqiang asked.
Zhao Meilan hesitated and shook her head, "Forget it, let's just sell the second floor."
Zhao Meilan was still worried about Su Mingcheng, thinking that if Su Mingcheng couldn't pay back the mortgage, she could help him pay it back.
"Okay." Su Daqiang was also a little worried about Su Mingcheng.
afternoon.
Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan went out again.
This time, the sale of the house was basically finalized.
Zhao Meilan called her brother, "Hey, little brother, you guys come over for dinner tomorrow.
Yes, Mingzhe was admitted to Stanford, which is said to be a world-famous school."
Su Mingzhe's expenses were basically settled, and Zhao Meilan told him about Su Mingzhe's admission to Stanford.
Su Daqiang was not idle either.
Go out and spread the word.
After a while.
Neighbors, relatives and friends all knew the good news that Su Mingzhe was admitted to Stanford.
According to the values of this era, this is a good thing and something worthy of envy.
"congratulations!"
"Mingzhe is so amazing. He was admitted to Tsinghua University before, but now he has to go abroad to study."
"Stanford, one of the best universities in the world!"
"Old Su gave birth to a good son."
There were compliments all around, and Su Daqiang and Zhao Meilan felt that Beier had some face.
Sunday.
Su Mingcheng got up early and tidied up.
After eating breakfast bought by Su Daqiang.
"Mom, I won't be back for lunch."
"I know, slow down and bring water and food!"
Su Mingcheng set off on a bicycle.
When I arrived at the place where I made an appointment with Zhu Li, I discovered that it was not just Zhu Li, but also Zhu Li's roommate, Li Wen, and another man.
This man looks relatively mature, about thirty years old, and is Li Wen's boyfriend.
"You guys arrived early too?" Su Mingcheng came early, but Zhu Li and the others also arrived early.
"Yes, this is..." Zhu Li introduced briefly.
"Hello, I'm Su Mingcheng." Su Mingcheng didn't remember the name of the supporting actor.
Say a few words.
A few people set out to climb the mountain.
But not by bike.
Go by car instead.
Li Wen's boyfriend drove.
Climbing a mountain is not a matter of two people. If there are outsiders, the mountain climbing will be a lot less fun. It became just mountain climbing, with no other reserved items.
Su Mingcheng and Zhu Li both have good physical strength.
Climbing is also easy.
Li Wen is okay, but her boyfriend's physical strength is poor.
Su Mingchen wanted to throw off two light bulbs.
However, he only shook off the male lightbulb, and Li Wen followed.
"Julie, how is your job search going?" With the female light bulb, Su Mingcheng could only talk about serious topics.
"I've already found a job to work in an auditing company." Zhu Li also graduated this year. She is two years younger than Su Mingcheng and went to school earlier.
"Su Mingcheng, how's your job search going?" Li Wen asked. She asked for Julie's help.
"I don't plan to look for a job anymore," Su Mingcheng said.
"Not looking for a job? Then what are you doing?" Li Wen continued to ask.
"I partnered with my classmates to do import and export business."
"Import and export business?" Li Wen had a strange expression. "My boyfriend is also in this business. He imports Japanese cosmetics."
"Really? Then there's a chance we can cooperate."
"What do you import?" Li Wen asked next.
"Milk powder from abroad." Su Mingcheng said.
"Milk powder from abroad?" Li Wen wanted to ask, but Zhu Li interrupted, "Wenwen, have you decided where to go?"
Li Wen has several offers on her hands.
In other words, there are several companies that want Li Wen to work.
"I haven't decided yet. I want to go to Shanghai. Doesn't Zhao Yang work in Shanghai?" Zhao Yang is Li Wen's boyfriend.
"Then you are looking for a job in Shanghai?" Zhu Li asked.
"Zhao Yang said, I don't need to work." Li Wen's voice dropped. Her boyfriend wants her to be a housewife.
"He raises you?" Julie smiled.
"I don't need him to support me." Li Wen actually didn't want to be a housewife.
The three of them talked and laughed and played in the mountains for a while.
Zhao Yangcai climbed up panting.
They all brought food.
Randomly ate something.
Just when Su Mingcheng was traveling around.
Su family.
Zhao Meilan's brother and sister came, and they were all a big family.
They play mahjong together.
Su Daqiang is cooking in the kitchen.
"Sister, this Mingzhe is really promising. He went to Chou Country for college." Zhao Meilan's younger brother is a bit fat and has no serious job. He mainly relies on Zhao Meilan for financial support.
"Yes, sister, your eldest son is really promising." Sister Zhao Meilan was also full of praise.
"Zhongbang, you should learn from your eldest cousin. You should also go to Chou country to take the college entrance examination and study abroad." Zhao Meilan's younger brother also hopes that his son will have a bright future.
"Your family, Zhongbang, has always been very smart. You will definitely be admitted to a foreign university and study abroad." Zhao Meilan also said nice things.
"By the way, sister, how's Mingcheng's work going?"
"Mingcheng said he was doing import and export business with his classmates and didn't want to find a job." Zhao Meilan told the truth. This cannot be concealed.
"Import and export business? This business is not small, right?" Zhao Meilan's younger brother was a little surprised.
"I don't know. If Mingcheng wants to do it, let him try it. If it doesn't work, let's talk about it." Zhao Meilan felt a little unsure when talking about Su Mingcheng's work.
"It will definitely work. Mingcheng has been smart since he was a child. There will definitely be no problem in doing business."
Play mahjong downstairs.
upstairs.
"These notes and teaching materials were compiled by me and will be helpful for your college entrance examination." Su Mingzhe gave Su Mingyu some books.
"Thank you, brother." Su Mingyu was a little surprised.
Su Mingzhe only gave Su Mingyu study materials after he was sure that he could go to Chou Country.
Su Mingzhe is also selfish enough.
Let’s make a few comments here.
What do you say about the Su family in "Everything is Fine"? Very selfish.
Su Daqiang is selfish.
After Zhao Meilan's death, Su Daqiang kept acting like a monster, only caring about his own happiness, and disturbing the peace of the three children.
Su Mingzhe almost divorced, Su Mingcheng divorced, and Su Mingyu broke up with her boyfriend.
Su Mingzhe is also selfish.
He went abroad for ten years and never came back.
When something happened at home, Su Mingzhe complained all the time without saying "Thank you for your hard work."
Before going abroad, Su Mingzhe didn't care about family affairs.
Even Su Mingyu's house was sold for Su Mingzhe to go abroad.
Su Mingzhe didn't say anything. Su Mingyu was not allowed to stay in Su Mingzhe's room.
Su Mingcheng, eating old people, mama's boy, and not weaned, these are all good words.
Although Su Mingyu was 'abused' by Zhao Meilan, Su Mingyu also had some ego and basically didn't consider other people's thoughts.
However, many people can be seen in the Su family.
The problem of the Su family is that many problems are concentrated on one person.
Su Daqiang is the representative of the 'bad old man'.
Su Mingzhe is the representative of 'good students'.
Su Mingcheng is the representative of 'Mama's boy'.
Su Mingyu is the representative of 'strong woman'.
Zhao Meilan is the representative of "eccentric parents".
It’s interesting to watch them and the people around them. (End of chapter)
