Chapter Twenty-Nine: Making a Wish
Chapter 029: Make a Wish
Father, mother, and Zhuang Zhuang have not yet returned from Bantao Town, Su Yu and Su Xiaoman are very happy at home, time passes unconsciously, and in the blink of an eye, many days have passed.
On this day, Su Xiaoman said to Su Yu: "Brother, Dong'er will get married next month, what gift should we give him?"
Su Yu said: "Getting married is not a happy thing for Dong'er, he doesn't even want our blessings, how can he accept our gifts? β
Su Xiaoman said: "Brother, I understand what you said, it's just that our friendship with Dong'er has been regained, I cherish it very much, Dong'er's marriage is a major event in his life, if you don't give anything, I think it's difficult to express our hearts." β
Su Yu said: "Don't worry, Dong'er won't care about this, I think what he really needs should be comfort, we can spend more time with him in the future." β
Su Xiaoman nodded, and then said: "Brother, what you said is very right, I have to be glad that Zhao Muqing is a virtuous and generous girl, she has always been knowledgeable, well-behaved, has good character and talents, and is a woman like no other, I hope they can get along amiably after they get married." β
Su Yu said: "The Jiang family and the Zhao family are the two largest families in Sanhe Town, they are both sons and daughters of these two families, and they can be regarded as a perfect match, we don't need to worry about it, let's not talk about Jiang Dong'er and Miss Zhao, it has been six days since my parents went to Bantao Town, why haven't they come back yet?"
Su Xiaoman comforted: "Brother, you don't have to worry, my father has already walked the road to Bantao Town many times, I think they will be back soon", at this time, there was a commotion outside the door, Su Yu and Su Xiaoman came to the door to see that the father, mother, and Zhuang Zhuang had returned.
The mother put down the package in her hand and hurriedly said to Su Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, is your illness better?"
Su Xiaoman said: "On the second day of your departure, my illness has fully recovered, and my mother doesn't have to worry", hearing Su Xiaoman say this, her mother nodded with a smile, and shouted: "That's good, that's good." β
Su Xiaoman has never been far away, she is very yearning for the outside life, this time she was sick and could not go to Bantao Town with her parents, it was really a pity for her, at this moment she had to pester Zhuang Zhuang and let Zhuang Zhuang tell her what she saw and heard along the way.
Zhuang Zhuang is not good at words, plus his reaction is much slower than ordinary people, he speaks in a slurred manner, half-hidden, half-hidden, half-hidden, Su Xiaoman listened to the rain and fog, which aroused Su Xiaoman's curiosity about the outside world more and more.
Su Yu saw what Su Xiaoman meant, and secretly made up his mind that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely take Su Xiaoman to see the outside world.
That afternoon, my father started making tofu, and Su Yu and Zhuang Zhuang also helped.
Su Yu had never done these things before, and now doing these jobs, although it was a little tiring, it had a different taste.
Although the family's tofu business is not bad, and the surrounding neighbors often take care of it, the Su family is not rich, and it is really tiring to make tofu.
Su Yu has a very rich knowledge and understands martial arts, of course he is not willing to grind tofu for a lifetime, Su Yu thought that his father had mentioned to him before that he would go to the city to be a fast catcher, and now he thinks about it is also a good choice.
Su Yu is confident that he can become a good catcher, and he may be able to rise to the head catcher after a few years of catching fast, and he may be able to be promoted to the head catcher after a few years, and the glorious lintel will not only let Su Xiaoman live a good life, not only fall in love with Su Xiaoman in vain, but also win glory for the entire Su family and repay the Su family's nurturing grace.
There are two coins of silver per month for catching fast, and three coins of silver per month for catching heads, and the salary is far higher than other errands, and the more Su Yu thinks about it, the more he feels that this is a beautiful difference.
Is it really a beauty difference? Su Yu had a new thought:
Catch fast!
What is the difference between the catcher in this era and the civil servant in modern society!
They are not at the bottom of the whole society? Because they have long lost the function of 'keeping one place peaceful and one side safe,' and their only role is not to serve the people, but to satisfy the vanity of their fathers.
And it is such a profession, which also implies many injustices.
Take the civil service examination as an example, the written examination is relatively fair, but the interview is full of intrigues, money and blood relations, the 'meritocracy' has long been forgotten, and the arrangement of one's own family, relatives' family, and neighbor's family has been arranged, although there are many people on the job, and there are very few really talented people.
How can they serve the people, and the truly talented people are blocked out of the door because of the lack of access, and there is no place for them to be useless, which is the sorrow of the society of the times, the sorrow of the times.
In other words, even if you are admitted to the civil service, without the corresponding background, you can only work hard for a lifetime, with no room for promotion.
Now that he has made up his mind, Su Yu no longer thinks about the enmity of his parents, nor about the aftermath, only after two or three years, his sister has grown up, and he can marry his sister and live this life in peace.
In this way, it is not advisable to catch fast!
I finally traveled to this era, how could I do nothing, make a false world, and not make a vigorous career, and thought that I was going to be succumbed to this ridiculous way of heaven!
I come from a modern high-tech society, I have an unrivaled ability, in this era, I will walk out of my own way, this road will be vigorous, shocking!
I have a lot of knowledge, I can invent all kinds of things, create things that are not available in this era, and build a powerful business empire, however, I am not very interested in that.
Rather than building a business empire, I want to conquer this world and conquer this era by force.
Although the world is vast, the sun, moon and stars, it depends on how I control it!
Of course, all this is my own business, and before doing all this, I must first fulfill the wish of 'Su Yu': to find out the truth about the murder of Zhao Xingyun and his wife, and to find out the whereabouts of Yu Qing, deal with these things first, and realize my wish step by step.
Thinking of this, Su Yu suddenly brightened, everything was already clear, although this world is big, let me stretch my waist.
The matter in Trois-Rivières has come to an end, and it's time for me to leave, first go to Xishan to investigate the mystery of the murder of Zhao Xingyun and his wife, and then go to find the whereabouts of Yu Qing.
Thinking of this, Su Yu decided to tell his father about his desire to go to Xishan, hoping to get his father's consent.
At night, with his thoughts set, Su Yu slowly walked outside his father's room and knocked on the door, 'Knock, knock, knock'.
The father opened the door and asked kindly, "Yu'er, is there anything wrong with looking for me so late?" Come in and sit down!"
Su Yu walked into his father's room, saw his father sit down, and sat on the chair himself, Su Yu said sincerely: "Father, in the past, I couldn't let go of my hatred and added a lot of trouble to you, but now I have figured it out, I will leave Sanhe Town for some time to deal with this matter thoroughly, and ask my father for permission." β
The father touched his beard and said: "How many people in the world are obsessed with 'gaining', and their lives are just chasing after the wind and shadows, but I don't know that sometimes 'giving' is more precious than 'gaining'!"
Su Yu didn't know what his father meant by this, he just looked at his father.
The father looked at Su Yu, and then said: "I heard Xiaoman mention before, after you left Xishan, you met a girl named Yu Qing in Yuxi, what are you going to do?"
Su Yu replied: "I have already identified Xiao Man, so I can't tolerate anything else, but I always owe Yu Qing an explanation, I will go to her and give her an explanation, that's all." β
Pingshui meets, passers-by, time passes, forget each other, the world is big, meet when to meet, if you meet, and it is a kind of fate; if you don't meet, where to keep this memory, I wish you well!
Father said: "Yu'er, you have to understand that 'giving' and 'gain' are only two sides, not two extremes, the more you cling to the words 'giving' and 'getting', the more difficult it will be for you to let go." β
Su Yu said: "Father, I know what you mean by this, it's just that some things must be chosen, because only by making a choice is good for me, my sister, and everyone. β
The father said: "Since you have said it so clearly, I won't say anything more, in a few days, you can go back to Xishan, find out the truth about the murder of your parents, and try to find the whereabouts of Yu Qing, and fulfill the wish in your heart!"
Su Yu said: "I want to take my sister to Xishan together, so as to pay homage to my parents, I don't know what my father wants?"
Hearing Su Yu say this, his father slowly stood up, pacing while touching his beard, as if he had doubts, and said after a while: "Yu'er, this is a long way to Xishan, you may encounter danger, and besides, you have your own things to do, so don't take Xiaoman with you." β
Hearing his father say this, Su Yu felt that he was a little ill-thought-out, the world is like chess, unpredictable, this way to Xishan is a long way, who dares to guarantee that there will be no danger along the way? Even if he is not afraid, he will definitely be able to protect his sister, she is so petite and cute, it is inevitable that some people will have bad intentions on the road, and if you want to come, you really can't take your sister to Xishan together.
Su Yu knows her sister very well, if she goes to Xishan by herself, she will inevitably follow, Su Yu thought about it before saying to her father: "Father, you are right, for the safety of my sister, this time I still don't want to take my sister to Xishan, but according to my sister's character, if I don't take her to Xishan, she will not follow, then I have to leave quietly, and I will explain to her when I return safely from Xishan." β
Father nodded: "You are right, if Xiao Man knows that you are going to Xishan, she will definitely go with you, I really don't want her to be in danger, so you have to be extra careful these days, don't let Xiao Man see the clues." β
Su Yu knew that Su Xiaoman was not only smart and clever, but also knew the subtleties, and he would pay attention to these things these days.
For a long time, Su Yu and his father rarely talked on weekdays, but today was the first time to talk about their hearts like this, and they talked so happily until late at night, when Su Yu came out of his father's room, he went back to sleep groggily.
