Su Xiaoyan glanced at Zhao Shanhe coquettishly and sat down.
Seeing this, Zhao Shanhe raised his crotch and said, "That's right. It's comfortable to sit like this."
He slowed down.
On the originally bumpy road, Su Xiaoyan became more stable while sitting.
Arriving at the door of her house, Su Xiaoyan got out of the car carrying large and small bags.
The bag was stuffed to the brim, all of which she bought with the money Zhao Shanhe gave her. In addition to buying herself a few good changes of clothing and daily necessities, she also brought some for Su Zhengshan and Zhang Cailing.
Originally, she only wanted to buy a few boxes of tea and snacks for her father, but Su Wan persuaded her to buy some things for Zhang Cailing and take them back, if for no other reason than to make their father's life smoother in his later years.
"It's getting dark, come inside quickly." Zhao Shanhe didn't get out of the car, but was about to turn around and go back.
"No more going into the house to do it?" Su Xiaoyan asked.
"I won't do it anymore. I'm very tired. It's getting dark soon. I have to go back quickly so that your sister won't worry." Zhao Shanhe closed the car door.
Seeing the tricycle getting further and further away, Su Xiaoyan's heart seemed to be hit by something.
She didn't know what it felt like, she just felt empty in her heart.
As if wanting to be filled with something.
…
After returning home and entering the house, Su Zhengshan and Zhang Cailing happened to be eating, and Gao Yuqiao was also there.
Today, Li Hongwei went out to socialize and didn't come home at night. When she had some free time, she came back with a cabbage and made dumplings.
It happened every time, saying she was coming back to make dumplings, but every time she just brought some cabbage and onions, and Zhang Cailing had to buy the meat on the street with her own meat ticket.
The family ordered meat and egg tickets all year round, half of which was given to Su Peng, and the other half was used to fill Gao Yuqiao's stomach.
Su Xiaoyan looked at the situation today. On the table were dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, and scrambled eggs. Gao Yuqiao's mouth was full of oil after eating, just for the sake of rubbing the oil.
"Dad, I'm back!" Su Xiaoyan said coldly.
"Come back as soon as you come back. Who can show you this angrily?" Zhang Cailing put down her chopsticks and scolded her.
Su Xiaoyan ignored it, but took out two kilograms of soy sauce beef wrapped in oil paper from her pocket and threw it on the table, "My sister bought it for dad!"
Two kilograms of soy sauce beef was served on the table. Not to mention Su Zhengshan, even Zhang Cailing and Gao Yuqiao couldn't help but salivate when they smelled the aroma.
But when they glanced at the large and small bags Su Xiaoyan was carrying, their eyes widened even more.
"Look, Su Wan spent a lot of money on you this time!" Gao Yuqiao's words were very sour.
Ever since she found out that Zhao Shanhe was the owner of the shopping mall, she was so jealous that she couldn't sleep for several days.
"Of course I will spend all the money my brother-in-law gave me." Su Xiaoyan was somewhat proud.
"What, did Zhao Shanhe give you money?" Zhang Cailing's eyes lit up, "How much did he give you?"
"More than a hundred yuan."
"More than a hundred dollars?"
More than one hundred yuan is not a small amount. Zhang Cailing immediately thought about it, took clean bowls and chopsticks, called to Su Xiaoyan and said: "Good girl, come here quickly, try the dumplings made by mom, stuffed with cabbage and pork, very juicy. Yes, it smells good!"
She had grown up in Zhang Cailing's hands since she was a child. Su Xiaoyan had already seen through her thoughts and snorted coldly, "I'm afraid she doesn't really want to eat dumplings for me."
"Look at your child, you are the youngest in this family besides Su Peng. Mom naturally loves you. You patted your chest and said, although you are not my biological child in these years, have I ever abused you? I have given you food and drink. Your father only gets a small salary every month, and I can’t bear to eat or wear clothes. The money I saved is used for your education. How can you say such unconscionable things now?"
As she said this, Zhang Cailing actually squeezed out two tears.
"Xiaoyan, your mother feels sorry for you, but you are so angry in return. Please apologize quickly." Su Zhengshan put down his wine glass with an angry look on his face.
"Tch, I'm right. I don't want to apologize. She doesn't care about me. She's just thinking about the money my brother-in-law gave me. Anyway, I said it bluntly. No one needs to worry about the money my brother-in-law gave me. I'm all worried about it. it took."
"You spent it all?" Zhang Cailing couldn't pretend anymore, "That's more than a hundred yuan. You little girl, you are such a waste!"
"My brother-in-law is willing to spend money on me. Is it possible that I am saving it to get moldy? But don't be jealous, I have brought you something." With that, Su Xiaoyan opened the package.
What I bought for Su Zhengshan was the best Biluochun, authentic milk pastry, and a woolen jacket for spring and autumn. The woolen jacket alone cost 35 yuan.
Su Xiaoyan was not so attentive to the things she gave to Zhang Cailing: a box of pearl cream for face wiping and a silk scarf.
Although there are not as many things as Su Zhengshan's, just a box of pearl cream for face is enough to keep Zhang Cailing entertained for several days.
She knows the goods, and this pearl cream is a popular product from the South.
Widow Li, who lives next door, has a box of this brand of pearl ointment. When applied on the face, it is white, tender and translucent, and has a light fragrance, which smells very good.
A small box the size of an egg costs 5 yuan. If Su Xiaoyan hadn't given it as a gift, Zhang Cailing would have been reluctant to buy it.
Gao Yuqiao, who was on the side, saw this scene and was eagerly waiting for his gift. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoyan actually put away the package. She asked with a stern face: "Little sister, where is mine?"
"I'm sorry, Sister Yuqiao, I didn't know you were here, so I didn't buy it for you. But my eldest brother-in-law is so rich, so you can't look down on my little thing, right? Besides, you have always looked down on me. My brother-in-law, it’s even more impossible for you to want the things he bought with his money.”
The words "brother-in-law" made Gao Yuqiao so angry that he was so angry.
But she still endured it and pretended not to care and said, "It doesn't matter. My family has a big business and we don't lack these things."
"We have a big business, so we come back here every now and then to eat dumplings." Su Xiaoyan became angry, and her temper was much hotter than Su Wan's.
Sometimes Gao Yuqiao would get angry at her words, but this time he was even more speechless and had to give her a hard look.
After eating, Gao Yuqiao returned home with his bag, not forgetting to take a few eggs with him. Su Xiaoyan looked at it angrily, but she didn't say anything.
She knew that even if she said it, it would be in vain.
Zhang Cailing still dug trenches at Su's house to fill them for her daughter.
Turning a blind eye and closing one eye will make life easier for everyone.
Although Su Xiaoyan is young, she still knows a lot about people and the world.
Sometimes, no matter how discordant a family is, they can't be too quarrelsome, otherwise in the end they will only be watched by outsiders.
Rather than being talked about after dinner, it is better to live a good life behind closed doors.
And although Zhang Cailing is not her real mother, she is usually a bit mean and has a bad mouth, but after all, they live under the same roof and hold back her temper, so her father can have an easier time.
