Chapter 26 Reconciliation
Chapter 26 Reconciliation
No matter how good the vision for the future is, it cannot escape the things that need to be solved now.Thinking about promising his younger brother, Su Youqin, who hung up the video, was ready for the next dinner.She originally thought that her younger brother had already chosen a place for dinner, but she didn't expect him to cook at home.
Cheng Li and Su Quan's home.
Su Youqin was upset, but if she didn't talk about it at this time, it would make her and her parents even more embarrassed.Although she has no intention of forgiving her parents, she also doesn't want to go to a worse situation.
After all, she agreed to her younger brother, and in order to show her sincerity, she took the initiative to go to her parents' house without waiting for her younger brother to call.
The door of the living room was open, and Cheng Li was sitting on the sofa chatting with someone via video, and she laughed loudly for some reason.
Su Youqin knocked on the door three times, changed a pair of shoes and walked in.Cheng Li's eyes fell on her, and she sat up straight.Without squinting, Su Youqin put the nut snacks she brought from home on the coffee table and went straight to the kitchen.
The kitchen is full of heat, two pots are cooking on the natural gas stove, and there are several cold dishes on the dining room table next to the kitchen.Su Xinjun was wearing a long-sleeved sweater, lowered his head to cut things, heard the movement behind him, looked sideways, and said in surprise: "Sister, you came up so soon?"
As he was talking, he glanced towards the living room, then at Su Youqin.
Su Youqin rolled up his sleeves and said, "What are you looking at? You didn't talk or argue. What else do you need? I'll help you."
Su Xinjun's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end, and tapped the unsoaked fungus with his chin: "Soak the fungus."
It was past seven o'clock when the siblings finished dinner, which was earlier than the usual meal time.Su Quan lingered at the entrance of the dining room several times and did not come until Su Xinjun called them to eat.
After shouting twice, the two came in slowly.
Cheng Li raised her head slightly, sat down at the table, and the phone slapped on the table.
Su Quan was a little annoyed: "Is it okay if you tap lightly, do you want to change to a new phone?"
Cheng Li glared at him, and put the phone back into her pocket, her movements seemed much lighter.
Su Youqin put the bowl and chopsticks in front of the two with a blank expression, and the two remained motionless.The air around the dining table seemed to be stagnant, only the sound of bowls and chopsticks hitting the table could be heard.
Su Xinjun was very uncomfortable.The dining environment is so disgusting.He glanced over the faces of the three of them, and couldn't hold back: "I said, don't you feel uncomfortable like this? Can you just say something? It's very sad."
No one responded to him.
Su Youqin sat down at the table, picked up a spoon and filled herself with a bowl of soup, blew on the noodle soup, and took a sip.
At home, whether it is Su Youqin who grew up with his grandparents, or Su Xinjun who grew up with Su Quancheng Li, it is always the elders who do not move their chopsticks and themselves.
Su Youqin drank the soup so well that she didn't pay attention to Su Quan and Cheng Li at all.
Su Xinjun felt a mouthful of blood in his heart, and kicked his sister lightly.
Su Youqin looked at him, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?" After asking, she looked at Cheng Li and Su Quan, who were facing each other, arrogant and a little subdued, "Why, do you want to drink too?" She stretched out her hand towards Cheng Li and Su Quan : "Bowl, I'll serve it for you."
She took the initiative to speak, although the tone was not very good, but it was not bad, it was her usual feeling of communicating with her parents.Su Xinjun's heart was temporarily put down.
Cheng Li and Su Quan didn't take any more. Although the table was so big and the soup bowl was not far away from them, they still handed the bowl to Su Youqin one after another, asking her to help serve the soup.
The two bowls of soup were served well, and the atmosphere at the table eased a lot.
Su Xinjun took the initiative to pick up food for his parents and sister, which sparked a conversation, and asked the three of them to respond to him from time to time, saying that they were too busy while eating.
The younger brother worked so hard, Su Youqin saw how pitiful he was trying to maintain the family relationship, and asked them when they would leave the next day, whether it was too early or too late, she could contact the small car in the town, make an appointment with the driver in advance, and ask the driver to pick them up go to the airport.
This question was answered by Su Quan. He bought the return tickets for the three of them, and he knew the time best.
"The plane arrives after eleven o'clock in the evening."
Su Youqin nodded, took out her mobile phone and sent a message to the driver in the town to tell the time.
With this back and forth, the atmosphere at the table basically returned to normal.
Su Xinjun is relieved.However, within three seconds, Su Quan asked, "Do you still want to stay in town?"
He is trying to lower his posture, but the father is always self-righteous, with a harsh tone and the feeling of a superior.
Su Xinjun's heart was beating wildly. This tone, not to mention Su Youqin, would make him a little uncomfortable even if he heard it normally. The sense of questioning was too serious. He stared at his sister closely, for fear that she would get angry.
Fortunately, Su Youqin didn't respond at all, just hummed, without waiting for anyone at the table to speak, and continued: "I don't plan to go out."
Cheng Li's face froze, and she poked the bowl with her chopsticks: "Why? Because of that person?"
Su Youqin looked straight at her: "For myself."
"For yourself? For yourself? Do you want to sell steamed stuffed buns for a lifetime?" Cheng Li was angry: "We gave you so many years of schooling for nothing? We didn't let you study for selling steamed stuffed buns downstairs and flirting with women."
This is hard to say.Su Quan stopped him: "What did you say? Shut up!"
Su Xinjun also looked at his mother complainingly, and paid attention to Su Youqin nervously, for fear that his sister would jump up and quarrel.
Su Youqin didn't move, she was in a good mood today, and she didn't want to waste her mood at all.She slowly swallowed the food in her mouth, looked at the food on the table, and said clearly word by word: "One, my tuition fees from childhood to adulthood were all paid by my grandparents. I asked for [-] yuan, and later I asked you for [-] yuan during the internship, and you never gave me any other money."
She looked up at Cheng Li: "Second, don't look down on selling steamed buns. The house you live in now, your husband can look so good, you can marry your husband from the mountains of Chengjiawan in a glamorous way, It’s all because of my grandfather’s skill in making steamed buns.”
"Three, what's wrong with me having sex with a woman? My woman and I didn't steal, rob, kill, set fire, or break the law. We are no different from you and your husband when we are together. We will live better than you."
Su Youqin usually doesn't say such blunt words in front of her family, she glanced past Cheng Li's dark face, and continued: "I want to emphasize again, I want to stay for myself, and don't think about other people. .If you don’t believe me, you can wait a few years and watch.”
"I don't want to quarrel with you again. Everyone finish this meal quietly, you go to the coast to live your happy life, I will fight in my own direction at home. I will be responsible for my choice."
Cheng Li couldn't bear it any longer, so she just opened her mouth to answer. "What are you responsible for?"
"To shut up."
"mom."
Su Quan and Su Xinjun interrupted him at the same time.
"Eat and eat." Su Xinjun greeted, and then said, "Sister is such a grown-up, she said it was for herself, you didn't take care of her very much when you were young, now I support her."
As soon as Su Xinjun's words came out, Cheng Li and Su Quan froze at the same time.The son's sentence that you didn't take care of him since he was a child hit their sore spot.When they first went home for a long-term stay, Su Youqin was already in the first grade of junior high school. They will always remember the scene where Su Youqin passed by them without recognizing them.
Cheng Li wanted to open her mouth again, but was stared at by Su Quan.
Cheng Li stared back, fiercely at Su Quan: "Why are you staring at me? Okay, I don't care, you Su family can do whatever you like. Anyway, you will lose face..."
She lowered her head to eat, and shed tears while eating, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Several people at the table ignored her.Su Youqin was already used to Cheng Li's tears. Everyone around her had seen her tears when she was in middle school. Su Youqin's reputation of being disobedient to her parents in those years was all because of these tears.
Su Quan and Su Xinjun were obviously used to it.
After crying for a while, Cheng Li took the paper from Su Xinjun, put down the bowl and left.Su Quan also followed her away.
This meal was a bit difficult to bear, but it was over.Su Xinjun was completely relieved.
Su Youqin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, all that should be said has been said, no matter whether Cheng Li and Su Quan accept her choice and sexual orientation, she has already expressed her attitude.That'll be fine.
Originally, the Spring Festival should not be over until the [-]th day of the first lunar month. However, the Chinese New Year holiday stipulated by the state only lasts until the seventh day of the new year. Even if many people in the town work in factories, they can stay for a few more days. There are also many more people.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Su Youqin saw off her parents and younger brother.
Saying yes, she just stood on the side of the road and watched the car she called take away the three of them. Before the car disappeared from her sight, she turned and went upstairs.Her friend in Jinshi knew someone who ran an advertising company, and they made an appointment to have a video chat at night.
That person's company cooperated with a poor county in the east of the province last year to help introduce the place and sell agricultural products, and the effect was not bad.
Su Youqin asked him many things, including the start and development of the company, and the personnel answered them in detail. It just so happened that they will continue to cooperate with that impoverished county this year. In April, they will go to the local government to discuss some details. Time, you can follow them to see.
This opportunity is good. According to him, Su Youqin feels that he can completely copy the development of their company and the model of cooperation with the government.
Su Youqin thanked that person again and again, and agreed with him to go to Jinshi next month to have a face-to-face chat with him, and if it was suitable, he would go to study with people from their company in April.The man was very enthusiastic, and it could be seen that he wanted to help Su Youqin sincerely.
Before hanging up the video, he told Su Youqin that no matter what you do, resources are very important.
Su Youqin naturally knew this. If she wanted to start from scratch in Yuanchuan City, she would definitely need resources.Whether it's human resources or material resources, she needs to run in person.Although she didn't stay in Yuanchuan long, she still knew some people and was mentally prepared.
At the end of the chat here, Su Youqin turned around and asked Shen Qianyao when she would be home, but the other party didn't reply for a long time. She turned on the computer and began to write a proposal about the company she wanted to start.
When Shen Qianyao replied to the message, Su Youqin was watching the company introduction sent by her friend. The PPT of the friend's company was too fancy. She watched it for a long time, and her eyes felt a little uncomfortable. She simply put the computer aside and dialed the video for Shen Qianyao.
Shen Qianyao was changing clothes, and after seeing the requester in the video, she picked it up.She was wearing thin single clothes, Su Youqin looked cold: "Why are you wearing so little?"
Shen Qianyao casually placed her mobile phone beside the closet: "There is floor heating in the room, and I'm changing clothes."
The person on the screen raised his hand to take off his single clothes, then his underwear, put on his nightgown, then picked up his mobile phone and sat down on the bed, pulling the quilt to cover himself.A series of actions made Su Youqin swallow her saliva quietly, and she didn't ask until the other party sat on the bed and looked over with her mobile phone, "Are you coming back tomorrow?"
Shen Qianyao nodded.The high-speed rail ticket she bought from Jinshi to Yuanchuan tomorrow morning is expected to arrive in Yuanchuan before noon.The two haven't seen each other for almost a week. Although the news is continuous every day and they play video every night, they miss each other very much.
Especially in the past two days, after Su Youqin had a direction about the future, she really wanted to cuddle up with Shen Qianyao and chat on the sofa.
The same goes for Shen Qianyao.She was even considering going directly to the town after returning to Yuanchuan tomorrow.
Su Youqin looked at the lover on the screen, touched the sofa with her hand without the phone, and said, "How about, I'll pick you up in the city tomorrow."
Shen Qianyao frowned and teased her: "Boss Su is here to pick me up, and I'll take you back to town?"
"It's not impossible," Su Youqin laughed, "Then I'll take you back to the city."
After speaking, I thought it was so funny, and the people on both sides of the screen laughed at the same time.After laughing enough, Shen Qianyao asked Su Youqin's parents and younger brother, she knew they were leaving today.
There is nothing more to say about this.Su Youqin walked over with a few words, and suddenly remembered that she was supposed to meet Shen Qianyao's parents this Spring Festival.
It was probably the recovery of her voice and her plans for the future that gave her confidence. She took the initiative to mention: "Qianyao, after you return to Yuanchuan tomorrow, are you going to your parents' house?"
Shen Qianyao nodded.
Su Youqin tightened her hands on the sofa: "Then I will go to the city tomorrow night and invite my uncle and aunt to dinner. What do you think?"
"I was supposed to meet them on the fourth day of the lunar new year."
Shen Qianyao was stunned for two seconds, then came to her senses and said happily, "Okay."
"I'm here to invite, I invite my girlfriend and parents to dinner."
Shen Qianyao felt unspeakable joy in her heart. She has been out of the closet for many years. On the surface, her parents have accepted her sexual orientation, but there is still a hurdle in her heart that has not been overcome.
Su Youqin's initiative seemed to be telling her, take me home and let my parents recognize you.
She is so happy that her girlfriend is willing to take the initiative to contact her parents.
The two made an appointment to meet the next day, and chatted about some things, until Shen Qianyao said that Shi Mi was looking for her, and the two hung up.
The next day, the breakfast shop was closed and after cleaning, Su Youqin began to teach Sister Cui how to make old noodles.
Old noodles should be used together with alkali to make buns, and the amount of alkali used generally depends on experience.Based on her own experience, Su Youqin roughly told Sister Cui the amount of alkali to use, and gave her a ball of old noodles, and asked her to go home and try to make buns with a catty or two of flour to see the effect.
Sister Cui was very excited, she wrote down the steps with paper and notes, and said she could learn it, she patted her chest.
Su Youqin wanted to open the business as usual the next day. After Sister Cui left, she would first make preparations for the stuffing. Fortunately, it was winter, and the stuffing was prepared and placed in the refrigerator. There was no need to store it for a few hours longer. Influence.
After making the stuffing, she went to the street again.She sent a message last night asking Mingming to contact their fellow villagers on the mountain, wanting to buy local eggs, goose eggs, and Pueraria lobata powder.
These things look earthy, but the price is high, and people in the city may not be able to buy them if they want to buy them.
Knowing that she was taking it as a gift, she obviously asked the fellow to bring these things in a rattan basket made of rattan.
The fellow is also a troublemaker, and there are a few small flowers hanging on the handles and baskets of two large emerald green rattan baskets.
Some tacky good-looking.
Su Youqin was very satisfied.This rattan basket is no worse than the art studio outside, and it seems that the native chicken shop inside has become more western.
Mingming asked her who was this gift for?
Su Youqin said that he was a very important elder in Yuanchuan City.
Mingming nodded again and again, "Then this gift is suitable." Not to mention other things, the pueraria mirifica powder in the basket can be sold for five or sixty yuan a catty in the city, and the basket contains ten catties, plus a basket full of soil. Eggs and goose eggs are worth 60 yuan.
It happened that Zhu Cheng was going to pick up a batch of goods in the city at six o'clock in the evening. After knowing that Su Youqin was going to the city after three o'clock, he simply went ahead of time and saw her off by the way.
There was no need to carry the basket back, it was placed in Mingming's shop, and when Zhu Cheng came over from home, he loaded it directly into his car.
Those two big baskets would definitely not be able to take the bus. Su Youqin originally planned to let the small bus in the town take her to the city, but now she can get a ride, so there is no need for it.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Cheng drove to the breakfast shop on time.
Su Youqin had just finished mixing the noodles. Today, she mixed the noodles more than two hours earlier than usual. She wrapped a wet towel around the basin to let the noodles heat up slowly.Wash your hands and get in the car.
In addition to Zhu Cheng, there was also a little cousin he recently took with him to do business. The little cousin was eighteen or nineteen years old and sat on the back seat with his arms around a rattan basket, for fear that the basket would fall off the seat.
Su Youqin found it funny and teased him a few words.Old songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan were playing in the car, Zhu Cheng laughed at Su Youqin, nothing changed from when he was a child.
Su Youqin took out the cosmetics from her bag, asked him why there was no change while putting on makeup.
Zhu Cheng said with a smile: "When you were young, you liked to tease the little boys in your class. I remember that in the fourth grade, there was a boy from a village elementary school who was bullied. You pushed the bully away and teased the boy every day. , leading him to integrate into our group."
Su Youqin didn't think about it, but she still remembered the little boy Zhu Cheng mentioned. When she was in college, that person added her to him, and the two chatted several times.
Zhu Cheng continued: "The man has liked you for a long time because of this."
Su Youqin smiled, she couldn't remember clearly what happened when she was a child.Zhu Cheng opened up the chatterbox, and recalled many things Su Youqin did when he was a child.The two have known each other since childhood, and they have been in the same class for six years in elementary school. They know a lot about each other's embarrassing things, and they find it funny when they tell them.
Talking and laughing all the way, soon arrived in the city.Su Youqin took advantage of this more than half an hour to put on light makeup without eye makeup, and with the addition of lipstick, her complexion improved a lot.
Zhu Cheng looked at her several times, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked her if she was going to meet a certain boy.
Su Youqin rolled her eyes and ignored him.
The car followed the navigation to the gate of the community where Shen Qianyao's parents lived.The community is in the west of Yuanchuan City, which belongs to the new urban area developed a few years ago. There is a high-end community and villa area here.
After asking at the entrance of the community, he realized that the car could be driven into the community. Zhu Cheng turned the steering wheel and muttered that he knew that the car was washed on the road.
Su Youqin just smiled, thinking who would look at you.
The car turned around the avenue at the main entrance, and there was a road slanting upwards. Su Youqin saw Shen Qianyao on the side of the road, looking at his phone while walking.She opened the car window and waved to Shen Qianyao, Zhu Cheng parked the car beside Shen Qianyao in good time, and greeted her: "Mr. Shen, why are you here?"
After explaining for a while, Zhu Chengcai understood that Su Youqin was here to visit Shen Qianyao's parents, a businessman, and his first reaction was that Su Youqin was going to do something, Shen Qianyao's parents could help her, and with the community bonus, Zhu Cheng realized that Shen Qianyao's parents must not be simple, Probably still doing big business.
Without delay, he called his little cousin to help Su Youqin get the things over, and drove away.
Su Youqin and Shen Qianyao were holding a large rattan basket, and two security guards walked over to help them pick it up and put it into the elevator.It was only after entering the elevator that Su Youqin felt a little nervous.
Shen Qianyao's father, Shen Qi, went to the countryside to inspect a few days ago, and just came back this afternoon.Shu Xian said that Shen Qi had just returned home, so instead of going to the restaurant to eat, the four of them ate at home.
Shen Qianyao agreed.
Su Youqin originally wanted to invite them by herself, and she must have invited them in the store, but Shen Qianyao's mother had said so, so she could only agree.
The two stood in front of the house, Shen Qianyao took out the key to open the door, Su Youqin suddenly took her hand, took a deep breath, and after a few seconds, motioned for her to open the door.
The key was inserted into the lock, and the elevator sounded. As the key was turned, the door was opened, and footsteps came from the elevator. The two turned around and saw a tired-faced man walking over. The man had a square face and a wide forehead. , with thick eyebrows and big eyes, followed by a man in his 30s with a briefcase.
Their eyes met, and Shen Qianyao was surprised: "Dad, you are back."
The door was ajar just when someone pushed it open from the inside: "Why don't you come in?" Shu Xian pushed the door open, and for a moment, five people met their gazes.
The young man who followed Shen Qianyao's father was his secretary He Fang.
With his presence, Su Youqin's nervousness completely dissipated.She originally thought that He Fang would stay for dinner, but she didn't expect that He Fang would come out of the study before the meal, went to the kitchen door, greeted Shu Xian, and left.
As soon as his figure disappeared, the tension returned to Su Youqin's heart.
Su Youqin was originally sitting on the sofa looking at her mobile phone, but now she wanted to hide behind Shen Qianyao.Shen Qi came out of the study, went to the kitchen first, and went back to the living room.
Su Youqin sat up straight: "Uncle, are you done?"
To be honest, Shen Qi has no obvious official appearance, he changed into simple casual clothes, he looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, but probably because he knows his identity, Su Youqin can't be said to be afraid of him, but respect him, maybe. Unconsciously, you will bring honorific titles.
Shen Qi didn't seem to notice Su Youqin's unnaturalness, he responded casually, and asked Su Youqin: "I heard Yaoyao's little mother said that your throat was hurt, are you okay?"
Su Youqin quickly said it was all right.After thinking about it, I said one more thing, I have already checked it, I just need to take good care of it, and there will be no more problems.
This sentence seemed to be a guarantee, Shen Qi looked at her, raised his hand to turn on the TV, turned to the news channel, and asked what school Su Youqin graduated from.
Su Youqin was answering while watching the news. It happened that there was a bumper kiwi fruit harvest in a certain place. She said casually: "The dried kiwi fruit in this place is very famous, and the brand influence is great."
Unexpectedly, Shen Qi responded: "Huh?"
Su Youqin looked at her, and Shen Qi also looked over, obviously wanting to hear her talk carefully.
Su Youqin's heart beat faster, feeling that she couldn't bear it, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "The dried peaches made from kiwi fruit in this place have registered a trademark and have a very catchy slogan, and that slogan has been widely circulated on the Internet. It The trademark logo is an animal image, with that animal image as the main character, and there are cartoons, which can be regarded as a small IP.”
"IP?" Shen Qi repeated.
Su Youqin realized that there were many words in what he said just now, which laymen might not understand.So she took the initiative to explain it again.After she finished this article, Shen Qi understood.
Shen Qi was obviously interested, following Su Youqin's explanation, he asked some questions,
When Shen Qianyao finally got away from Shu Xian's arrangement, she found that her father had already chatted with Su Youqin about the tax promotional event.
The news on TV has run out and commercials are running.Su Youqin said that she had done a publicity campaign for the tax bureau in a certain district of Haicheng, and it was not unusual for the campaign to be organized with several banks.
Su Youqin also took out her mobile phone and showed Shen Qi the H5 that was promoted in that event. That H5 was arranged by Su Youqin. In her words, it was very simple.
Shen Qi looked at it seriously, and pointed to a red flag fluttering on a certain page inside and asked how it was made.
"There are templates. It's super simple." Su Youqin talked about the things she can do, and she felt a lot easier: "The computer logs in to the H5 production platform, and there are many templates."
Shen Qi became interested, looked at Shen Qianyao who had stopped not far from the sofa and watched them for a while, and said, "Yaoyao, take out the computer for me."
Shen Qianyao moved a notebook in doubt, Su Youqin squatted by the coffee table, clicked on the H5 production platform, and asked Shen Qi casually: "Uncle, what do you want to do?"
Shen Qi: "What's the matter?"
"There are all kinds of things. Uncles and you, such as government activities." Su Youqin entered the word "government", and a lot of templates popped up, such as anti-corruption propaganda, National Day, and even plenary session propaganda activities. She Open them one by one, and tell Shen Qi about those template elements.
When Shu Xian came out, the three of them gathered around a notebook, Su Youqin made a few simple pages of H5, and they were typing comments with their mobile phones, watching the comment barrage floating over the H5.
Su Youqin has completely integrated into the Shen family's father and daughter, Shen Qi's eyes are bright, and he is obviously very interested in what Su Youqin said.
After sitting at the table to eat, the nervousness in Su Youqin's heart had completely disappeared. With the addition of Shen Qi and Shen Qianyao's father and daughter's affection, Shu Xian was too embarrassed to ask other questions, and just followed their topic.
This meeting was a success.So much so that Su Youqin took a taxi and left, and when he arrived at Zhu Cheng's place, his face was still full of joy.
It was almost ten o'clock when she returned to the town, and she didn't feel sleepy. For a while, she felt that she performed well today, and for a while, she felt that she seemed a little carried away today, but overall she was good.
She opened the door of the breakfast shop to see the afternoon noodle, there was no problem.After she turned off the lights in the breakfast shop, bent down to lock the shutter door, and got up, a figure suddenly appeared behind her, and she was startled by a sudden look.
She was startled, touched her chest and asked in doubt, "Shi Mi?"
"It's so late, why are you here?"
