Chapter 174: Twilight
Su Li called Juzi, and it took a while to answer the phone. She softly called her "Su Li", just like she called her when she was a very young child.
Su Lixin moved and asked, "How are you doing recently?"
Going back there, "Fortunately, I have stabilized here."
"Where's the place?" she asked.
“Suzhou.”
"Suzhou?" A Jiangnan water town appeared in her mind, praising, "It's beautiful there."
“Yes, it’s beautiful.”
"What work are you doing there?"
“Open a homestay.”
"Open a store?" Su Li was surprised, "How is the business?"
"Overall, it's not long, and it's a relatively remote corner, and there are fewer people coming."
"Oh, take your time and it will get better."
"Well, I'm not in a hurry."
After a short period of silence, Su Li asked, "Why did you think of opening a store?" It felt like this was not like her personality.
"Actually, I have had this idea for a long time. I have been saving money for many years." I continued silently for a while, "but I may not be able to successfully open it. Maybe I will go back to the hotel to sing after I have to make money."
"I believe you will succeed."
"Hope." After a while, "I come to play when I have time. The scenery here is very beautiful. Every time I go out and see those black-sailed boats and stone bridges, I feel gentle."
“I felt it.”
“Feel it?”
"Well, your voice is much gentler than before."
"Is that true?" There was a smile in her tone.
Su Li looked into the distance, and there were many buyers standing at the stall selling oranges, which was lively and she said, "Stay early."
"Okay, please contact me more if you have nothing to do."
After hanging up the phone, I received a photo in a while. It was a photo outside a B&B store. Modern and ancient styles were mixed together, but it didn't make people feel weird, it just felt very special.
The store’s name is “Mu Chen”. As she was chanting, she remembered that Chen Xi’s father’s surname was Chen. I wonder if Orange was homophonic with “Mu Chen”.
Hope is not, hope is just as literally expressed, evening morning - from sunset to early morning.

Life is peaceful and quiet. After the final exam, the winter vacation will soon begin.
On the first day of winter vacation, Chen Xi sent a text message, "How is the exam?"
Su Li replied, "I feel it's OK, what about you?"
"I'm pretty bad, I haven't studied much lately."
"What's wrong?"
"That boy, I told you last time that I felt like Xu Chen's boy, we are making friends."
Su Li was worried after hearing this, "We are only in the second year of high school now, isn't it too early?"
"I think it's too early, but my deskmate said she's already had a partner in junior high school."
"But it will be bad if you delay your studies. If you regret it in the future, you should think twice."
"I know, but I can't help myself."
Su Li understood, so she didn't persuade him again.
"I will pay attention." Chen Xi said as she changed the subject, "Are you going to find a job again during this winter vacation?"
"I don't know, I haven't planned it yet."
"If you don't have enough money, don't go. From now on, you will feel like vomiting after graduation. Now you can enjoy the freedom and fun of being a student."
Su Li nodded and replied perfunctorily, "Look at it again."

On the third day of the winter vacation, Aunt Qin suddenly dressed up seriously early in the morning.
Su Li asked curiously, "Are there any guests here today?"
Aunt Qin shook her head, "I'm going to my friend's house later, it's your friend's mother's house. Are you going together?"
Su Li remembered Lu Ning and hurriedly said, "No, I don't want to go out."
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I want to rest."
"Okay." She went there by herself.
I didn't come back until the evening and brought the vegetables into the kitchen.
Su Li went over to help, and Aunt Qin said, "We are all old after not seeing each other for many years."
Su Li didn't reply and washed vegetables silently.
"It seems that her youngest son is in the same class as you?"
"Yes."
"He praised you several times today."
"Praise me?"
"Well, you said you have good grades, good popularity and good personality in your class."
Su Li frowned. Her grades can only be considered average, but her popularity is not good at all, and her personality can only be considered average. I don’t know why Lu Ning praised her like this in front of Aunt Qin.
"He probably knows that I am your stepmother, so he can gain a favor for you, haha, this kid."
So that's it! She was stunned for a moment, remembering the things he bought for herself that he couldn't tell what it felt like.
During dinner, Aunt Qin asked her, “Do you still have to find a job during this winter vacation?”
Before she could think about how to arrange this winter vacation, she replied, "I haven't considered it yet."
Dad said next to him, "The family has not been short of money recently, so it's okay if you don't go find one. Find an interest class to learn something."
Aunt Qin also said, "Your dad is right. Calligraphy, dance, etc. are fine. The tuition is not expensive. It can mainly improve temperament and recuperate the mind."
Su Li had never learned anything like interest, so she thought it would be better to try it, so she said, "Then let me see what I'm good at learning."
The next day, Aunt Qin took her to choose, and finally signed up for a classical dance class. Aunt Qin helped her choose, saying, "Ballet is too difficult. Jazz is not very suitable for your personality, and nothing is suitable for you."
Classes start the next day of registration, from 9:00 to 11:30 every morning, and after lunch break, from 1:00 to 3:00.
The teacher who taught them to dance was a woman with good temperament, about thirties and very beautiful.
The ages of those who sign up range from teens to thirties, with the majority of those who are in their twenties.
In the first class, they danced a whole dance. The teacher said, "You can feel the charm of classical dance first."
Classical dance is indeed very charming. Even if you are wearing ordinary clothes, you can imagine idioms like "long-sleeved dance" when you dance.
After the teacher took everyone to dance one, he slowly decomposes the movements and memorizes them one by one.
Su Li was a little unable to let go at the beginning, and her movements were very stiff. She was reminded by the teacher many times, "This is not right, just put it softer, the better the softer the better."
After a short period of practice, she felt sore back. During the break, Su Li sat alone in the corner, while the others chatted in groups of three or two at a time. It felt that she was the only one who was excluded.
