Chapter 113: Settling-in Expenses
It was already dark outside, and with the sound of a door lock, the three members of the Su family, who had finished worshipping Zheng Yunhong from Repulse Bay, returned home.
"Old Dou, Grandma, are you back?" Su Jingxian put down the newspaper in his hand, greeted his parents one after another, and then nodded to his younger brother Su Jingliang, who was the last to enter the door, "Ah Liang." ”
It seems that the warning of going to Zheng's house during the day today was not in vain, at least judging from the faces of their parents and younger brother at this time, they were not bullied and squeezed.
When you come back from the mourning hall, of course, you can't be smiling, but as long as you don't show grievances on your face, it's fine.
"Ah Xian, read the newspaper? Pay attention to protect your eyes, we used to live in a wooden house area, and the four-eyed text selling fish balls on the adjacent street was to read books and newspapers for too long, and I had already hung up a pair of glasses at a young age. Su Shoucai entered the door just in time to see Su Jingxian put down the newspaper and reminded him loudly.
Su Jingxian smiled and nodded, he didn't expect his father Su Shoucai to know how to protect his eyesight, after all, he had joked about the four-eyed text before, saying that the other party was peeking at his grandmother taking a bath, and he would only wear glasses after suffering from eye disease.
"Four-eyed text, didn't he hide under the covers and read yellow books to get to wear glasses? Reading books and newspapers, talking and laughing? While speaking, Su Jingliang sat on the chair, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, and stretched out.
On the side, Zheng Liru, who was making tea, turned her head and glared at Su Jingliang, who was open-mouthed, who stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak again.
Su Jingxian's gaze swept over the faces of the three family members, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, and he said loudly: "It's good to read yellow books, it's good to peek at the teacher's grandmother, in short, it may be to read books and newspapers, and the four-eyed text is still owed me two cents of fish balls on the street, how can a scholar do such a thing?" I'm betting on one and a half pieces, it must be peeking at the teacher's grandmother taking a bath to cause eye disease! ”
When his younger brother Su Jingliang heard this, his cheeks bulged a few times, and he laughed.
Zheng Liru, who had just turned her head over, heard Su Jingxian's words, a helpless smile appeared on her face, and she turned her back to Su Jingxian and said: "You are also twenty years old, don't set an example for Ah Liang, forget it, and teach him badly, you don't look like a brother at all." ”
"Hey, Liangshao, did I teach you badly?" Su Jingxian winked his eyebrows at his younger brother Su Jingliang.
Su Jingliang shook his head and grinned, "How could it be? Virtuous and young. ”
Su Shoucai and Zheng Liru watched their two sons play with living treasures, and they shook their heads helplessly, but they couldn't help but smile on their faces.
Soon, her mother, Zheng Liru, came to the table with a teapot, took out four cups and placed them, and then poured tea in turn.
"Take it yourself, and let me bring it to you?" When you become a great official, find someone to serve! Zheng Liru put down the teapot and rolled her eyes when she looked at the three big men sitting on the chairs motionless.
Su Jingxian lowered his head and smiled, coughed lightly, and his younger brother Su Jingliang immediately understood, holding a cup of hot tea and sending it to him, Yin and Yang said in a strange manner: "Xian Shao, drink tea." ”
"There is a heart, a good young man." Su Jingxian took the teacup and smiled.
"You're welcome, virtuous." Su Jingliang smiled, picked up another cup of tea and was about to send it to him.
On the other side, his father Su Shoucai coughed with a smile, Su Jingliang, who was holding the teacup, was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled again, stood up and sent the teacup to Su Shoucai: "Old Bean, drink tea." ”
Su Shoucai grinned, and before the word good boy could be spoken, Zheng Liru slapped him on the back of the head.
After drinking a round of flower tea, Zheng Liru cleared her throat, looked at Su Jingxian and said, "Ah Xian, go to your uncle's house today, your aunt and we have a few chats, and their family is preparing to move to the UK recently." Since your uncle loves you and puts Zheng Ji in your hands, I and your father will not ask anything more in the future, but you must manage Zheng Ji well, after all, it is the hard work of two generations, and it cannot be destroyed in your hands. ”
Su Jingxian was slightly stunned when he heard this, looked at Su Jingliang and Su Shoucai, both of them nodded at him again and again, obviously he was the last to know the news.
Li Yue...... Cough! What did my aunt tell you? Is it in front of everyone, or in private? Su Jingxian rubbed the teacup in his hand and asked out loud.
Zheng Liru replied: "In addition to your cousin Pengxiao's absence, Changping and Wanming's two children are all around, and they all agree with your aunt's words. ”
"Zheng Pengxiao is not here?" Su Jingxian raised his eyebrows and asked more.
For elders like Zheng Yunhong and Li Yue'e, Su Jingxian tries his best to use honorific titles in front of his parents, but he will not be so polite among his peers and call them by their names.
Before Zheng Yue'e could answer, her younger brother Su Jingliang was the first to speak, and said with a smile: "Cousin Peng Xiao heard that he broke the bridge of his nose and has not come out upstairs, I don't know if it will become a flat nose in the future." ”
Broke the bridge of your nose? Su Jingxian raised the corners of his mouth, it seems that the damage of his knee hit is not low!
However, Zheng Pengxiao is indeed a waste of firewood, even housewives like Li Yue'e, as well as Zheng Changping and Zheng Wanming, the two juniors, have seen the situation clearly, and made compromises to themselves through the mouths of their parents, but he still doesn't even show his face, I don't know what to do!
After thinking about it for a while, Su Jingxian raised his head, and a bright smile appeared on his face again: "I told you early in the morning, my uncle entrusted Zheng Ji to me, just because I have a business mind!" You don't believe it, but now even my aunt has spoken in person, this time I'm relieved, right? ”
Zheng Liru and Su Shoucai glanced at each other, with a look of relief in their eyes.
After pondering for a while, Zheng Liru said with some hesitation: "Your aunt also told me that they need a sum of money to go to the UK, but your uncle handed over Zheng Ji to you, and they were embarrassed to talk to you, so let me mention it to you." ”
"This is as it should be, how much are they going to ask for?" Before Zheng Yunhong died, Su Jingxian promised him that he would give his wife and children a sum of money to let him go to the United Kingdom to live, and now he is not surprised to hear Zheng Liru mention it.
Hearing Su Jingxian ask about money, Zheng Liru opened her mouth and didn't make a sound, and poked Su Shoucai on the side with her elbow and asked him to say it to Su Jingxian.
Su Shoucai coughed, and before he could speak, he belittled Li Yue'e: "Actually, I also think that your aunt's request is a bit excessive, she said that there are many places where it costs money to go to the UK, and we don't understand those." But she opened her mouth and asked you to withdraw 300,000 Hong Kong dollars...... Of course, if you are embarrassed, your grandmother and I will go to Zheng's house again tomorrow and tell your aunt about your difficulties, after all, 300,000 is not a small amount. ”
"Three hundred thousand?" Su Jingxian blinked, and then shook his head again and again, "Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, my uncle left me a company account, it's no problem to withdraw 300,000 yuan, I'll go and withdraw the money tomorrow." ”
Su Shoucai's eyes showed a color of distrust, and he also opened his mouth to persuade: "Ah Xian, 300,000 is not a small amount, your aunt and I both know that now Zheng Ji is being investigated by ghosts, and it is difficult to even open a business, if there is any difficulty, don't hold on." ”
Difficulty? Su Jingxian smiled and shook his head. If Li Yue'e played for two days, he might have taken out 500,000 yuan from Zheng Ji's company account and sent it to Repulse Bay as the Zheng family's settling-in fee.
