Chapter 40
The first guest on the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year was Mr. Su, who came up and knocked on the door while the Zhu family was having breakfast. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had brought a lot of gifts with him, Mrs. Zhang would have said something nasty again.
Zhang Ma opened the door with a smile and let him in, “Good New Year to you, Mr. Su, congratulations on your fortune, aigoo! I’ll help you get it!” I’ll help you get it!” While stretching out her hand to pick up the boxes he was holding, not to mention the two boxes of bags he was carrying in his two hands, Su Chunjun laughed and said, “I’m so glad you’re here.
Su Chunjun laughed and said, “Happy New Year, Happy New Year. Everyone get rich!” Then he quickly took out a gift from the bag in his left hand and gave it to Zhang Ma with both hands, “I saw it outside the other day and thought it was very suitable for you, so I took the liberty of buying it, please don’t mind.”
Ms. Zhang might as well even the first gift is their own, under the heart flower bloom, and then look at Mr. Su that is incomparably smooth eyes.
Zhu Yan Shu sitting on the sofa, smiled and said: “Zhang Ma, quickly open to see what Mr. Su sent?”
Zhang Ma opened a look, is a shawl, and is very positive big red. What age women like beautiful things, this shawl can be considered to buy into the heart of Zhang Ma.
Zhu Yanshu also got up and walked over, tsked: “What a nice red color! Zhang Ma, put it on and take a look!”
Zhang Ma didn’t even dare to touch her hand, touching the soft shawl and said, “My clothes are also old, and I’m still cooking, and there’s oil and smoke …….”
Zhu Yanshu immediately said, “Come with me, change into a nice dress!” Then she smiled and pushed Zhang Ma to her bedroom, to handpick clothes for her to change into.
Zhang Ma was both happy and flustered, “Ma’am, this I’m cooking ……”
Zhu Yanshu said: “It’s the same to eat later. Mr. Su, you are also an acquaintance, so I won’t greet you anymore, so make yourself at home. By the way, Yan Yan isn’t up yet, so you guys can talk when she gets up.”
She closed the door once she finished speaking, leaving Teacher Su alone in the living room.
Su Chunjun put down the carrying box in his hand and placed the gifts for the Zhu family’s mother and daughter on the table alone, then stood in the house with his hands behind his back, his gaze aimed at the balcony directly opposite to him as if he was enjoying the morning light of a winter’s day, only that out of the corner of his eye he would sweep over to Yang Yanyan’s bedroom door, with his two ears perked up to listen to the movements inside, and by listening to the slippers inside walking around on the floor, he knew that the little girl had already woken up, but just hadn’t come out yet.
He was like waiting for the flowers to open, standing here with nothing to do, but his heart was full of joy, full of joy.
The door finally opened, a wearing some old pink pajamas pajamas pants of the second Miss Yang came out, her head of the two braids have not been unraveled and combed, a crooked one twisted, her skin crystal white, eyes bright water, eyes are still a little confused, she wore a big red wool sweater, filled with buttons pom poms adorned in the lapel on the side of the lapel, very cute.
He stood waiting for her to see him.
And then, she saw.
She froze.
She panicked.
She retreated back inside.
After Su Chunjun watched this scene, laughter filled his chest, making his mouth grin widely, but he didn’t dare to laugh out loud, ah, if he laughed out loud, Second Miss Yang would be angry.
After about ten minutes, Miss Yang opened the door again, she had already changed her clothes and combed her hair, with a hint of anger on her face, she first peeked her head out, and saw that he was still the only one there, before she carefully walked out, and also glanced at the kitchen.
Su Chunjun first opened his mouth to greet, can’t still ask Second Miss Yang to open her mouth first at this moment ah: “Good morning.”
Yang Yuyan’s expression was cold: “Good morning. Where is Mrs. Zhang?” Where are the people! Where are the others! Why didn’t anyone say that Mr. Su came this morning!
Su Chunjun smiled and pointed at Zhu Yanshu’s bedroom door.
Yang Yuyan began to take revenge: “I didn’t see Mr. Su yesterday, was he busy?”
Su Chunjun sighed: “Yes, I’m quite busy. For the New Year, there are invitations everywhere, and even though I’m a small person, I still have to rush around.”
Yang Yuyan was surprised: “Inviting you to dinner?”
Su Chunjun smiled and shook his head, “No, it’s to call me to pay the bill.”
He was originally the one who collects the strips, now the big brothers have saved him the trouble, there is no need for him to work hard to find the big brothers to collect the strips, he directly goes to the place where the big brothers spend their money to open the strips and take them away, isn’t that fine?
This is still he now harvested the trust of the big brothers to obtain the close friends of the work.
Yesterday, he ran to more than thirty hotels and restaurants, more than twenty stores, the most one he ran six times, because this store is too famous, six big shots picked to eat and drink there. In order to get acquainted in front of the bigwigs, and also to show how proactive he was in doing errands for the bigwigs, he took the initiative to run over there himself, and stood behind the bigwigs and said, “Don’t worry, the bill has already been settled”.
However, this day is not in vain, he has already become familiar with these shopkeepers, in the future do not have to run so many times, as long as the shopkeepers will be the big shots in this consumption of all the notes to him to stay, he went to pick up once a month on the line.
Yang Yuyan only felt that it was an eye-opening experience!
“So are you still going to run today?” She asked.
Su Chunjun nodded with a smile, “When they don’t eat, I don’t have to run.”
Yang Yuyan, who was deeply impressed by his true spirit, grunted coldly, “They’re going to have another meal after they die, how could they not eat?” The white affair was a great day to collect money.
Su Chunjun then smiled, relieved.
He said, “But it’s fine in the morning, they don’t start making people at noon.” He walked over to the table and picked up a box that was placed at the top and handed it to her, “Open it and see if you like it?”
Yang Yuyan opened the box, it was a cashmere scarf, what was very cute was that there was a frog embroidered on it.
“Wow!” She couldn’t help but exclaim.
Su Chunjun whispered, “I saw it when I was checking out at the clothing store, so I let them wrap it up as well.”
Yang Yuyan loved it and her heart was pounding, so she couldn’t help but lower her voice as well, “Is it okay to do it like this?”
Su Chunjun then sighed: “They all do it. If I don’t do it, I won’t look like I fit in.” A packet of ham is not enough. How can he appear to be a like-minded group of people if he doesn’t covet a little bit more?
So he’d done himself a lot of favors since he’d been up here, and it was obviously very reassuring that he’d done so, which was why so many of these bigwigs were willing to ask him to pay their bills.
A high school student like him, putting him in the Finance Bureau wouldn’t just make him an odd-job grunt, but even if the bigwigs up there wanted to promote him, they’d have to take a look at what kind of person he was first. In order for the bigwigs to feel comfortable using him, he had to make such a sacrifice.
Yang Yuyan was worried that Mr. Su hadn’t fallen a bit fast. This made her less inclined to want this gift, and as she thought this, her eyes and expression revealed it.
Su Chunjun notices it and is both delighted and guilty in his heart, he picks up the scarf and puts it around her neck, “Don’t worry, this is something I paid for with my own money.”
But getting the other gifts from the Zhu family wasn’t.
Hearing that it was bought with his own money, Yang Yuyan was not repulsed and allowed Su Chunjun to tie the scarf into a flower around her neck, he also straightened the edges of the bow to let it unfold naturally.
Su Chunjun admired the scarf for a while, and said without thinking, “Oh, come on, after breakfast, do you want to go out for a walk with me?”
Yang Yuyan had just gotten a new scarf, so she was naturally excited to hear about going for a walk.
“Then ……,” she was going to be a bit reserved according to the girls’ custom.
Su Chunjun already said quickly, “I’ll wait for you downstairs after breakfast.”
Yang Yuyan suddenly realized that this walk was different from an ordinary walk.
Yes, they were no longer just teachers and students. That one time when their eyes met made everything different.
It made her heart begin to stir as well, as if there was an anticipation that could not be spoken, but could only be quietly intended and quietly waited for.
Not waiting for the two of them to say something else, Zhang Ma changed her clothes, Zhu Yanshu opened the door, pulled Zhang Ma out, and said with a smile, “Look, does Zhang Ma look good like this?”
Zhu Yanshu found a piece of her own old robe for Zhang Ma to change into, the dark blue silk is stable, generous and noble, wearing a red shawl, Zhang Ma looks like the wife of a family.
Yang Yuyan was very flattering and praised, “Zhang Ma looks really good in this color! She looks especially white!”
Su Chunjun also said, “Noble, elegant and generous.”
Zhang Ma began to stiffen and didn’t dare to move, her face turned a little red at the compliment, if Zhu Yanshu didn’t ask her to change, she wouldn’t have dared to wear this kind of clothes, it’s too beautiful and too valuable.
Zhang Ma: “Aigoo, how can I work like this? I’ll go change it!”
Zhu Yanshu held down Zhang Ma: “I told you it looks good this way! Don’t change it, it’s not bad for the New Year!”
Zhang Ma smiled bitterly, “Madam, I can’t even walk in this, how can I do anything.”
However, Zhang Ma did like to dress up nicely, she looked like she was many years younger. Zhu Yanshu insisted on giving this dress to her to match the shawl, she pushed twice and agreed, then went back to the house to change her clothes, cherishing the dark blue silk robe and hanging it up, and then came out again with a lighter step.
She set breakfast on the table, and specially opened a can and fried a plate of sliced meat for Su Chunjun, calling Teacher Su really flattered.
Zhu Yanshu looked at the boxes and bags on the table and on the floor and said with a smile, “Mr. Su is really polite, is this getting rich?”
Su Chunjun smiled and shook his head, “Just a little bit of extra money, that’s why there is such a good opportunity to take advantage of some bargains during the New Year.”
Then he took out the other gifts one by one.
The one he gave to Zhu Yanshu was a box of bird’s nest, the snow white bird’s nest was placed in an exquisite wooden box, which was also lined with silk.
Zhu Yanshu usually ate bird’s nest, but would not go for this kind of packaging, she smiled at the sight: “This must be bought by which lord to give to the aunt of the superior official.”
Su Chunjun smiled and nodded, “You are most sage.” It was no different from what Ms. Zhu said, it was a gendarmerie captain who gave it to his superior’s aunt, but this captain wasn’t willing to pay for it himself, and he, a small person who had only just entered the Finance Bureau, was summoned over by the captain, so of course he had to be active in solving the captain’s problems, or else would he have to practice his fists with the gendarmerie’s big guns? So the captain had a bird’s nest to send the boss, he also had to have followed the captain to take advantage of a little, anyway, do not have to pay their own money.
The gift to Yang Yuchan is moderate, is a leather notebook, a little high-grade but not too out of the ordinary, black veiled, the most appropriate to give students.
Yang Yuyan’s gift was already around her neck.
Zhu Yanshu saw it and said, “It’s quite nice, just right for a little girl like you.”
Yang Yuyan touched the soft scarf, and in her heart, she also felt that this gift was her favorite among the gifts she received this year.
At breakfast, Yang Yucan did not come out and was sent in by Zhang Ma. Su Chunjun didn’t say much, but just gave the notebook to Yang Yuyan and asked her to pass it on.
After an early breakfast, Su Chunjun slowly stood up, slowly said goodbye to Ms. Zhu, then to Zhang Ma, then to Yang Yuyan, and then Yang Yuyan sent him to the door, exchanging a you-know-what look before Su Chunjun went downstairs.
Yang Yuyan dawdled for a while longer, brushing her teeth, washing her face, combing her hair, and changing into a dress that matched the scarf better before coming out and saying, “Mom, I’m going out for a walk.”
Zhu Yanshu glanced at her watch, Teacher Su had just left less than a quarter of an hour ago. She stared at Yang Yuyan for a long time, looking at Yang Yuyan’s back and starting to get hairy, before saying, “Okay, go.”
Yang Yuyan let out a big sigh of relief and jumped up and down before heading out.
Zhu Yanshu: “It’s cold, don’t stay out too long, come back in twenty minutes.”
Yang Yuyan didn’t understand at all and pushed the door open and said, “Okay, I know! Mom, I’m leaving!” With a bang, she closed the door and ran away.
Listening to her footsteps running down the stairs with a thud, Zhu Yanshu let out an exasperated breath.
One daughter was like this, and two daughters were like this!
