Chapter 284: Talk in the Living Room
"Godfather, what are Uncle Li and the others doing at our house?" Su Yunyun was very surprised when she heard this.
Because Su's mother had mentioned whether they should go to pay New Year's greetings to them. After all, Su Yunyun was Mr. Du's goddaughter, and with this relationship, it was natural to go to pay New Year's greetings to them. However, Su's father rejected it outright.
They had previously learned from Mr. Du that Mr. Li and others were in high positions. Su's father thought that although Su Yunyun was Mr. Du's goddaughter, if she kept trying to get close to them, it would inevitably annoy people. Most people would think that she was trying to curry favor with them, which would make the already thin relationship even thinner. It would be better for her to be more sensible and not get close to them to disturb them on a daily basis. It would be better to go to them when there is something that cannot be solved in the future!
Su Yunyun thought that what Su's father said was absolutely right!
Although Mr. Li and the others said they would take care of her, they only said that for Mr. Du's sake.
Apart from my relationship with Mr. Du and my friendship with Mr. Li in Dongshan Village, my encounter with Mr. Fan was just a chance encounter on the train. If I were to move forward suddenly, I might make others feel uncomfortable.
Interactions between people must either be linked by blood ties or be based on equality and mutual benefit.
Of course, there is also the kind of relationship where the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, but Su Yunyun doesn't think that she has the ability to get along with them like this now.
As for the basis of blood relationship or equality, she has neither.
A blacksmith must be strong himself, so Su Yunyun decided to strengthen herself first, so that she would have the prerequisite foundation for equal dialogue with others.
So Su Yunyun did not go to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Li and Mr. Fan during the Spring Festival. But now after hearing what Mr. Du said, a huge question mark arose in her mind!
The same goes for Han Sen, Su's father, and Su's mother!
They don't think that their small courtyard has the ability to attract important people to visit!
Old Du looked at their puzzled faces without explaining. He thought about it carefully and said to Su Ping and the others, "If you are done with your work, come back home. You also need to know what happens next."
After Mr. Du said this, the Su family’s curiosity was further piqued!
What is so important that they need to know?!
But after seeing that Du Lao didn't want to say anything after saying this, he went back to his room to rest. Su Ping and the others were at a loss, and later made a decision. Anyway, the preparations for the opening of the bun shop were in the final stage, and if they didn't go out tomorrow, it would not affect the opening on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. So they decided to stay at home tomorrow to see what Du Lao was up to!
After hearing Su Ping's decision, Su's parents started making arrangements. "Don't sleep in tomorrow. Get up early and clean the house. Then dress neatly to welcome Elder Li and his friends. Especially Yunyun and Hansen. Big Brother mentioned you two at the beginning, so you two must dress neatly."
"Okay, Dad!" Su Yunyun, Han Sen, and Su Ping agreed readily.
Then they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
Of course, after returning to the room, everyone was discussing who the mysterious person was, besides Mr. Li and Mr. Fan, who made Mr. Du so cautiously ask them to wait at home?
Is there any news or important task assigned to them?
The more we discussed, the more curious we became, and all our tiredness disappeared without a trace. But then, we saw that it was getting late, and there were important guests coming to our house tomorrow, and we couldn't meet them in a daze, so we forced ourselves to sleep.
Even Han Sen, who had been pestering Su Yunyun every night, gave up his lingering thoughts after Su Yunyun's stern rejection, and fell asleep with his arms around Su Yunyun, full of resentment.
The next day, the Su family got up very early without anyone urging them, including the children who slept in the front yard, all got up and started working.
Old Du also went to bed early. After having breakfast, he saw that everyone had almost finished their work and the yard and the house were very clean. He told Su Yunyun and Han Sen to go back and read first and not waste time, and then he went back to the west ear room to continue studying medicine.
Although he was holding the book in his hands, as time passed, the pages had not been turned. It could be seen that Mr. Du's mind was not on the book at all.
After realizing this, Mr. Du smiled bitterly and said, "I'm old now and can't handle it anymore!"
Then Mr. Du stood up and walked out of the west ear room and came to the outside of the west wing. Through the window, he saw Su Yunyun and Han Sen reading a book and taking notes with a pen. He nodded with satisfaction and then walked to the door of the living room.
Su's father and mother had changed their clothes and waited in the living room for a while. They had originally seen Mr. Du reading in the west wing room and didn't want to disturb him, but now that Mr. Du had come out, they stood up and walked to him, "Brother, when will Mr. Li and the others arrive?"
Hearing this, Mr. Du looked at his watch and found that the pointer had reached 9:40. "They are almost here."
Just as he was about to shout to Su Yunyun and Han Sen to stop reading and come out to wait for Mr. Li and the others, he heard a noisy voice coming from the gate, "They're here!"
When Su's parents heard this, they hurriedly called Su Yunyun and Han Sen out, and Su Ping and the others also came out of their respective rooms.
Just as Su Yunyun and Han Sen stood behind Mr. Du and were about to follow him to greet Mr. Li and the others, they saw a group of people walking towards the Chuihua Gate.
Led by Mr. Li and Mr. Fan, three men in military uniforms followed closely behind. One of them was very old, and the other two looked to be in their forties. They were carrying large and small bags of gifts in their hands.
When Su Yunyun saw them, she felt that the three men in military uniforms looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them for a moment.
Han Sen narrowed his eyes, his heart was filled with turmoil, but his face remained calm and expressionless.
When Elder Du saw them arriving, he walked over with Su Yunyun and Han Sen and said, "You're here so early!"
Mr. Li smiled and said, "I can't wait any longer!"
But his eyes were on Hansen, and then he looked at the three men in military uniforms behind him. Their eyes were all focused on Hansen, and the surprise, eagerness, and heartache on their faces made them show very wonderful expressions.
Mr. Du introduced them to Su's parents first, saying, "You all know Lao Li and Lao Fan, so I won't say much. As for this one, it's Lao Lin, and behind him are his two sons, Lin Chao and Lin Wei."
Then he said to Lin Lao, Lin Chao, and Lin Wei, "This is Su's father, Su's mother, Yunyun, Han Sen, and they are Su Ping..."
After everyone was introduced one by one, they saw both parties nodding and greeting each other. Then Father Su thought of them all standing in the yard and said, "Come on, everyone, come to the living room and talk in the living room. Boss, you prepare the tea."
