Chapter 1 On the way to Qingpu
Even in Shanghai, where the consumption level is extremely high, the family conditions of the Su family are also first-class, located in the high-end community of Lujiazui, the large flat floor that can enjoy the scenery of the Huangpu River from the sky, and the Mercedes-Benz cars in the underground garage are proving the superior conditions of the Su family.
Su Xinyi will soon go to elementary school, and this is her last free summer.
Today she and her parents went to her grandmother's house in the countryside to celebrate her 70th birthday, and she had to live in the countryside for a few days, and when she returned to Lujiazui, she was going to school, a very famous school, the name of the school is Mingzhu Primary School.
Although he is only in his early forties, but his hair is almost half white, Su Qing's father was once a famous designer in Shanghai, graduated from a famous university, and after accumulating experience and contacts, he opened his own company.
Su's mother Pei Ning is the same age as Su's father, is a college classmate, and used to be a designer, but since giving birth to Su Xinyi, she has been a full-time wife at home, pampered, but there is no white hair, and the contrast with Su's father is huge, the two stand together, not like they are the same age, but they are more than ten years apart.
In the cloakroom, Pei Ning stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and kept shining back and forth, she had changed more than a dozen sets of clothes, and it had been more than half an hour.
Su Qing walked into the cloakroom, looked at his wife who was turning around in front of the mirror, frowned and said, "Ning Ning, you have been looking in the mirror for almost an hour, if you don't leave, the road will be very congested." ”
Pei Ning turned around and said with a smile: "An hour, is it so long?" I feel like I'm just coming in! ”
In the living room, Su Xinyi shouted loudly: "Mom, don't listen to Dad, you've only been in for thirty-eight minutes, you can stay in there for another twenty minutes, and then go out after I finish watching this cartoon!" ”
Su Qing turned his head and said loudly: "Don't watch cartoons anymore, turn off the TV, we're leaving!" ”
Pei Ning said: "No, I have to dress decently to congratulate my mother on her birthday this time, this is also to fight for your face, so as not to make my sisters-in-law look down on me!" ”
"When did they look down on us, you are so boring to say!" Su Qing muttered, he didn't want to dwell on this issue, lest his wife talk endlessly.
Pei Ning picked out a newly bought long dress, and said while changing: "I'm not interesting, it's those sisters-in-law who are boring, isn't it that our Xinyi is a girl, and I don't want to have another child, and then look at their appearance, it seems that they have sons, so they are all amazing, and I don't like them the most......"
Su Qing sat down on the sofa in the living room and whispered to Su Xinyi next to her: "Look at your mother, it's started again, I guess I'll have to talk all the way later, don't think about stopping!" ”
Su Xinyi lay lazily on the sofa and whispered, "Middle-aged aunt, it's all like this!" ”
Su Qing glared at her daughter: "What are you talking about, what's wrong with the middle-aged aunt, you will also be a middle-aged aunt in the future!" ”
"No, absolutely not, I will always be a beautiful and lovely little girl, and I will never be a middle-aged aunt!"
Su Qing snorted, grabbed the remote control on the table, and turned off the TV: "Hurry up and put on your shoes, let's go out!" ”
There was no cartoon to watch, Su Xinyi let out an earth-shattering shout: "Mom, my dad just thought you were verbose, saying that middle-aged aunts are like this, what's wrong with middle-aged aunts, I will be middle-aged aunts when I grow up!" Mom, I'm on your side this time! ”
Pei Ning walked out of the cloakroom, first turned around, and asked Su Qingdao, "How is it, this dress is still decent, right?" ”
Su Qing nodded again and again, and praised his wife a few words, Su Xinyi jumped up from the sofa and rushed to praise her mother for her beauty, Pei Ning was very satisfied with the slightly exaggerated praise of the father and daughter.
waited until they got into the car and drove on the inner ring road, Pei Ning seemed to suddenly remember, and asked: "Old Pei, what are you talking about at home, middle-aged aunt, do you think I talk too much, or do you think I go out to rub in?" Lao Pei, let me tell you, you have a problem with your thinking, I only went out to dress up for half an hour, only half an hour, and you don't want to think about who I dressed up for......"
Along the way, Pei Ning kept counting Su Qing and telling Su Qing all kinds of truths, and Su Qing nodded occasionally while driving, indicating that he listened and agreed with his wife's point of view very much, and would correct his mistakes in the future, correct his attitude, be a good husband and father, and must not let his wife down again!
In short, Su Qing gave full play to the style of a good man in Shanghai!
When she entered Qingpu District again, Pei Ning finally let go of Su Qing, and she said to her daughter in a very satisfied tone: "Xinyi, do you see, when you grow up in the future, if you want to find a boyfriend, you have to find a father like this, if you make a mistake, change it, even if it's right, as long as your wife is not satisfied, then you have to change it immediately, you have to have a correct attitude, you are about to go to elementary school, there will be many boys pursuing you, let's imagine it, if you ......"
Su Qing interrupted her various assumptions and said, "Xinyi is just going to elementary school, it's too early to say this, it's too early!" ”
Pei Ning disagreed, and retorted: "How can this be said early, don't say it now, and wait until something happens later?" It's right to say it now, to instill in her a correct view of love since she was a child, this is called subtle, let her understand these things unconsciously, this has nothing to do with sooner or later, do you understand? Lao Su, it's not me talking about you, you have a problem with your mind......"
Su Xinyi turned her head away, looked out the car window, and thought to herself: "It's started again, listen to what they say, it's better to watch cartoons for a while, when you get to grandma's house, there will be cartoons to watch!" ”
The road in front was a little crowded, and the speed of the car slowed down, and Su Xinyi saw that not far from the main road, there was a large courtyard, and the gate of the courtyard was open, and there were two teams of people in uniform inside, who seemed to be training.
Some of those people were carrying water pipes coiled in a circle, and some were running with long ladders, Su Xinyi had never seen anything like this.
Turning around, Su Xinyi asked, "Mom, what are those people doing?" ”
Pei Ning looked out the window and replied, "They are firefighters, and they seem to be training." ”
"What do firefighters do?"
"They're in charge of firefighting, saving people, or something! Oh, what do children ask these for, and they will know when they grow up! Lao Su, I still have to talk about your ideological problems......"
Su Xinyi was still looking out the window, watching the training of those firefighters, but she was lost for a moment, the road in front was cleared, the Su family's car started slowly, and the fire compound disappeared from her sight.
