Chapter 208 Returning Home
Shuzhou, Guangchuan City, Sutang Fruit Shop.
Su Yang was unloading fruits when he suddenly received a call from Tang Shiyan.
"Brother Yang, Xiao Yuan is going home!"
"Huh? This kid finally decided to come back?" Su Yang immediately put a basket of fruits on the ground, picked up the phone and said, "When!"
"He has arrived in Shuzhou, and he will probably be home around 5 or 6 in the afternoon. You can come back early today and leave the work in your hands to Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhou. After all, you are a boss now."
Since Su Yuan was admitted to Yaodu College, Su Yang and his wife's life has become better.
First, Su Yuan has sent money to his family several times;
Second, because of Su Yuan, the fruit shop's business has also improved a lot.
Guangchuan City is a third-tier city, and there is a student from Yaodu College. Who doesn't know it?
In addition, the Education Bureau always buys fruits from Su Yuan's Sutang Fruit Shop whenever there are any banquets or activities.
Just kidding, with such a promising junior brother, Wang Haiping must take good care of him.
As early as half a year ago, with the help of the money sent by Su Yuan and Wang Haiping, Su Yang's Sutang Fruit Shop had expanded into a medium-sized fruit shop, recruited several employees, and the business scope was much larger.
However, even if Su Yang became a boss, he still worked on the front line.
"Okay, okay, I understand!" Su Yang's eyes were full of surprise, "I will come back after unloading this truck of goods, let's go buy vegetables and prepare a table of delicious food for this kid, there is no cooking outside!"
"Of course we have to prepare a table of delicious food, and prepare more." Tang Shiyan covered the phone slightly and lowered his voice, "Brother Yang, let me tell you... Xiao Yuan brought a female classmate back this time!"
"What!!" Su Yang exclaimed.
"Pah, pah, pah!" The sound of oranges, apples, etc. falling on the ground kept coming, but it was Xiao Xu and others who were unloading goods next to them who were startled by Su Yang's suddenly raised voice.
"Uncle Yang, what's wrong?!"
"What happened?"
Xiao Xu and the others didn't care to clean up the fruits and hurried over.
"It's okay, it's okay, you guys do your own thing."
Su Yang greeted his young shop assistants and went to the side to answer the phone.
"Female classmate? Wife, really?!" Su Yang lowered his voice, more excited than when he learned that his son was going home.
"Of course! I'm already cleaning, you come back early, in addition to buying groceries and cooking, you can also take a shower, change clothes, and take care of yourself, so as to leave a good impression on other girls, do you hear me!"
"No problem, I'll obey the order! This time, I'm going to use my unique skill that I only use during the Chinese New Year, pickled fish with Sichuan pepper!"
"Well, no more, I'm going to clean up quickly!"
"Okay, you're busy, you're busy!"
Su Yang hung up the phone and looked up at the sky, only to feel that the scorching sun in summer has become joyful at this moment.
"Good, good! This kid is good!"
"No, I really need to go back and clean up as soon as possible,"
Looking at the sweaty clothes he had worked on all morning, Su Yang called out to everyone in the store.
"Xu Ping, Dongzi, I'll leave this to you. I have to go back first today.
There's a lot of work today. If I leave, your workload will increase. Let's double your salary today!"
"Okay, thank you Uncle Yang!"
There are still several people in the store, so it's not a big deal to lose Su Yang as a boss.
Xu Ping asked with a smile: "Uncle Yang, is there any good news? You're so happy."
"Haha, my son is back today!"
Wang Dong was surprised: "Is it your genius son from Yaodu Academy?"
"Yeah, I won't say anymore, let's go."
"Okay, go ahead, leave this to us!"
...
Five o'clock in the afternoon, in front of Four Seasons Garden Community.
Su Yuan took Luo Bingtong up the stairs.
"My parents have prepared dinner, all home-cooked dishes for ordinary people.
If you like it, try to eat as much as possible. The more you eat, the happier they are.
If you don't like it, try to try every dish."
The more you eat, the better?
Luo Bingtong nodded thoughtfully.
"Let me think, is there anything else I need to pay attention to..."
Su Yuan thought secretly.
Luo Bingtong is different from ordinary humans after all. Although she seems to have learned a lot of things since she was a child in order to enter human society.
But she is not a human being in essence, so there may be many differences from ordinary girls...
At the balcony window, Su Yang was looking at the entrance of the community, and saw Su Yuan walking into the community with Luo Bingtong.
"Wife, here they come! My son and his classmates are here!" Su Yang said excitedly.
"Are they here?"
Tang Shiyan in the kitchen wiped her hands on her apron and ran over.
"Let me see... it's true! What a pretty little girl, although a little small, but... Xiao Yuan has good taste!"
Su Yang also nodded and said: "Good, very good!"
"Quick, quick, Brother Yang, stop looking, go clean the table and serve the twice-cooked pork in the pot!"
"What about you?"
"Let me take a closer look."
...
Su Yuan went upstairs to the door of the house, and saw that the door was half open, so he walked in directly with Luo Bingtong.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"Xiao Yuan is back!"
Tang Shiyan and Su Yang were already waiting in the living room, and when they saw Su Yuan and the others enter the door, they hurriedly came to greet them.
"A year has passed, and you've grown taller!" Tang Shiyan happily held Su Yuan's hand and carefully looked at his son whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Then, Tang Shiyan looked at Luo Bingtong next to him and asked, "Xiao Yuan, this classmate, why don't you introduce us..."
Su Yuan smiled and said, "I was just about to say that this is Luo Bingtong, my classmate. This time she followed me here just to relax after practicing."
"What a beautiful and delicate little girl!" Tang Shiyan exclaimed sincerely.
Previously, she was far away and could only see a rough idea, but now she can see it clearly in front of her. The other party's delicate face looks like it was carefully carved by a master.
"Bingtong, these are my parents. I've already told them you're coming."
"Uncle, aunt."
Luo Bingtong bowed slightly and greeted the two people as Su Yuan said: "Hello."
"Hello, hello~ Bingtong, right? What a good name, as beautiful as the person!" Tang Shiyan was full of joy, "Come in, come in, take a break and then we'll eat."
Su Yuan looked at the dining table, which was already full of dishes, chicken, duck, fish and meat. He couldn't help but laugh: "So many dishes, and there's also the 'New Year's special' pickled fish with peppers?"
Tang Shiyan was still looking Luo Bingtong up and down, and smiled when he heard it: "You said you brought your classmates back, but we didn't know that I know what she likes to eat, so I can only cook all the dishes I am good at. "
Su Yang patted Su Yuan and said, "Son, take your classmates to sit down, let's have a few drinks today."
"Okay!"
...
"Bingtong, have some of this fish. It's rare for Su Yuan's dad to cook it. It tastes great."
"Bingtong, this braised meat is not bad either. It's Aunt Wang's signature dish in front of the vegetable market. Every time I go to buy it, I have to queue for an hour. I specially asked Su Yuan's dad to bring a portion when he came back!"
"And this black chicken soup, I cooked it for an afternoon. The chicken is fragrant and melts in your mouth!"
"..."
As an elementary school teacher, Tang Shiyan is usually dignified, virtuous, and polite.
But at this moment, she was like an old mother, picking up dishes for Luo Bingtong with great enthusiasm.
Luo Bingtong thought of what Su Yuan said, the more they eat, the happier they are, and just nodded in agreement, constantly finishing the food in the bowl.
Luo Bingtong also accepted all the food that came, silently finishing the food in the bowl one by one.
"This child is so well-behaved~"
Tang Shiyan looked at Luo Bingtong biting the braised pig's trotters that she had picked up, her eyes full of love.
Although she doesn't talk much, she is very obedient and so beautiful.
Tang Shiyan has too many students, all kinds of students, and knows that Luo Bingtong is not impolite, but is born like this.
"Mom, don't pick up more for her, let her eat slowly..."
Although Su Yuan knew that Luo Bingtong had a big appetite, this table of dishes was too much.
"It doesn't matter." Luo Bingtong whispered, "It's delicious."
Tang Shiyan heard this and smiled happily: "If it's delicious, Bingtong, eat more, there's more in the kitchen if you don't have enough."
"Yeah."
...
At the end of the dinner, a table full of dishes that was enough for four people to eat three or four meals was almost finished at this moment.
Tang Shiyan ate a few bites by herself, while Su Yuan and Su Yang ate more, but not much.
More than three quarters of the food on the table was eaten by Luo Bingtong alone!
Although Luo Bingtong had a small mouth, she never stopped eating.
After eating the last piece of braised pork, Luo Bingtong wiped his hands and mouth, lowered his head slightly and said, "Thank you for the treat."
Luo Bingtong was very happy, because according to Su Yuan, the more he ate, the happier his parents would be.
Now he not only ate a lot, but also exceeded the task.
But when he looked up, Su Yuan's parents looked at him with a strange expression, not happy, but a little... "worried"?
"Bing... Bingtong, is your stomach okay?"
Tang Shiyan's surprise turned into shock at this moment.
Looking at Luo Bingtong, how could such a small body fit so many things?
This has broken Tang Shiyan's cognition!
Su Yuan didn't expect things to turn out like this. Looking at Luo Bingtong who was looking at him with some confusion, he couldn't help but feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. You know, many of our star card masters have unique talents.
Bingtong has a special physique, so eating this little bit is nothing."
"Is that so? That's good..." The two elders were relieved.
After dinner, the family chatted in the living room.
"Xiao Yuan, how long are you going to stay this time?"
"Three or four days, and then I have some things to do when I return to the academy."
One is to deal with the star cards and star tools harvested from the Snow Burial Plain.
The second is that with so many star stones, I can use the "self-funded star stones" method to practice well in the Star Mist Pool.
"Only three or four days..." Tang Shiyan felt a little reluctant.
However, Su Yang secretly patted her legs and smiled at Su Yuan and the others: "Okay, your mother is also on summer vacation. These few days, we will be responsible for preparing delicious food for you and Bingtong, and we will make sure you and Bingtong eat well!
By the way, do you have any plans for tomorrow? If not, let's go fishing together."
"Okay," Su Yuan smiled and said to Luo Bingtong, "My dad is very good at fishing. He is a famous expert in our Guangchuan City Amateur Fishing Club."
Su Yang's face showed a hint of pride: "That's right, Bingtong, I'll show you tomorrow."
"Yeah!"
Luo Bingtong didn't know what fishing was, but it looked like it was very good.
In the past two years, because Su Yuan failed to awaken continuously and the family conditions were getting worse and worse, Su Yang didn't go fishing either, and he had been saving money to buy an awakening card for Su Yuan.
But now, life has improved, and Su Yang has been able to resume this hobby.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, I've told you before that you two don't have to work anymore, just stay at home as if you're retired, what do you think?"
"That won't work!" Tang Shiyan objected directly, "We are still in a good position to shine, and I've been teaching for so many years, how can I just stop doing it!"
Su Yang also said, "Yeah, I'm not used to not working on the fruit shop.
Son, now we have a lot easier life than before, but we still can't stop working.
Work is not just for ourselves, but also for giving back to society."
Su Yuan knew that no matter how much he persuaded her, he said, "That's fine, but I transfer money to the family savings card every once in a while, so don't treat yourselves badly."
"Don't worry, we know that you transfer millions of dollars each time, how can we spend it all? Only your dad used some to expand the fruit shop, and the average Often it can't be spent at all. "
Tang Shiyan looked at Su Yuan, his expression was restrained, and he said slowly: "Money is not important. We have survived the hard days without money. But what we care about most now is your safety.
We don't understand the cultivation, but it seems that many star card masters in our Guangchuan City have had accidents. Xiaoyuan, you must be careful!
If anything happens to you, your father and I will have no hope..."
"Okay, okay, why are you saying this!"
Su Yang interrupted Tang Shiyan and said to Su Yuan: "Son, just let it go. Your mother is just a woman's kindness. How can you become a strong man without any trouble!
However, you should be careful. Your mother is right about this."
"Well, I understand."
...
In the evening, Su Yuan originally meant to find a good hotel for Luo Bingtong.
But Tang Shiyan said that the hotel in the city was too far away, and it was not good for a little girl like Luo Bingtong to live there.
Su Yuan thought about it and it was true. It was not that it was safe, but it was indeed not suitable.
However, the second bedroom of the three-bedroom and one-living room was converted into a study room for Tang Shiyan's work needs. It only had a folding bed, which was too shabby for guests.
So Luo Bingtong had to sleep in Su Yuan's room.
Tang Shiyan said: "Xiao Yuan, I will sleep in the study room, and you and your dad will sleep."
"No, with my physical fitness, it doesn't matter if I don't sleep. You two can't sleep well, so I'll sleep in the study room, that's it."
"This... okay then."
...
Late at night, because the study room was connected to the master bedroom, Su Yuan could still clearly hear his parents whispering next door.
"Wife, how could you say something like 'no hope' today? If you do this, it is very likely that your son will be timid in the future.
To become a powerful star card master, mentality is very important. We must not hold him back!"
"I know!"
"Then you still..."
"I just can't help it..."
"..."
Su Yuan listened to the discussion of the two people next door and fell into silence, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Family affection is not a hindrance, but will become the courage and strength to dare to face difficulties in adversity and despair.
"By the way, Brother Yang, Bingtong is really good. Although she doesn't talk much, she is well-behaved, sensible and obedient!"
"Well, it's very good, but my son said that they are just ordinary classmates who come here to experience life in a small city. At most, there are some signs between the two of them. Don't think too much."
"Are you stupid? Which girl would follow her male classmates to a small city to experience life for no reason? There are more than signs, and the signs are very big!"
"Really?"
"Of course! I think my son has inherited this from you. He is like a piece of wood and has no sense. He is really worse than an elementary school student!
Let me tell you, children nowadays are very precocious. Many of them are in love in elementary school! I have caught several couples in my class. You and your son are really different. "It's too far!"
"It's not good to be premature, and you don't know how to take responsibility."
"That's not the point, you blockhead... Forget it, but the only thing about this little girl is... she eats too much, but it doesn't matter, eating well is a blessing, and our family can afford it now!"
In the study, Su Yuan was silent, with a strange look on his face. He didn't expect that after he had given them special instructions, they would mistakenly think that Luo Bingtong had an amazing appetite...
Also, don't let Luo Bingtong hear what my parents said...
No, I'll give them a good warning tomorrow and don't talk nonsense at night.
In fact, Su Yuan's worries were a bit redundant, because in Su Yuan's bedroom, Luo Bingtong, who had changed into pajamas, had already fallen asleep with the quilt in her hand...
