They took the bus to the station and waited for one bus after another on the platform.
After waiting for almost four hours, no one was tired. They were just worried that there were too many people coming off the train and they might have been missed.
Another train came, but she still didn't see her eldest son. Bai Lu was worried, "Is something going to happen to Zhiyuan?"
"Don't think too much. It's because we got here early. Maybe it's the evening train," Su Jianmin comforted his wife for a while and said, "Why don't you guys stop waiting? I'll stay here alone to wait for the boss."
"No, I want to wait for eldest brother!" Su Nanbing said.
His younger brothers also said: "We also have to wait for our eldest brother!"
Xiao Jinbao comforted her mother, "Maybe the eldest brother is in the next car..."
As she spoke, she heard the train whistle sounding in the distance, and another green train slowly entered the station.
Many people got off the car. Jin Bao's sharp eyes noticed a man who looked very much like his elder brother. He was carrying a small bag. He was tall and taller than the people around him.
"Big brother?" Xiao Jinbao pointed to a person in front of him on his right, "That person looks like big brother!"
Following the direction of Jinbao's finger, everyone quickly recognized that the person was Su Zhiyuan.
Su Nanbing ran forward excitedly and shouted, "Brother!"
Looking back and seeing his second brother, Su Zhiyuan immediately showed a smile on his face.
The Su family members all gathered around at this time, and Su Jianmin said: "It's really you, kid!"
He patted Su Zhiyuan's arm and said, "Not bad, the muscles are stronger and the person is stronger."
"Dad, Mom, Jinbao..." Looking into his sister's big and energetic eyes, Su Zhiyuan picked her up from her mother's arms and said with a smile, "Jinbao is much taller. If she is taller, I will
I won’t be able to hold Jin Bao anymore.”
"Big brother is tall too!" Jinbao said with a smile.
Su Xiaosi said at this time: "Brother, fifth brother and I are also cumming!"
"It's taller, it's taller, you are all taller," Su Zhiyuan said with a smile to his two younger brothers, then looked at his third brother, "The third brother has grown taller too! Is the third brother going to high school next year?"
Su Wennian nodded and said, "Yes, I will study in No. 1 Middle School."
"Okay, City No. 1 Middle School is great. You are the most promising person in our family to go to college."
When hearing his elder brother say this, Xiao Jinbao's eyes slowly drooped and he thought sadly: The third brother will not be able to go to college. The college entrance examination will be canceled in a few months, and there will be no college students in the next ten years.
No one noticed Jin Bao's expression at this moment, everyone was chatting happily.
Bai Lu saw that her eldest son's skin was darker and his skin texture was much rougher, and she felt very sorry for him.
With tears in her eyes, she touched Zhiyuan's face and said, "Look at your rough face, it's almost catching up with your father's face. Didn't I put a bottle of facial oil in your bag before you left?"
Is it there? Isn’t it usually used?”
"Use it and give it to your colleagues. It will be gone soon."
"You! You have to keep this thing for yourself. Do you think a bottle of cream is cheap? I see your face is chapped. Don't think you don't care about this face when you are young. You will regret it when it is rotten!
"
Su Zhiyuan explained: "There are strong winds in spring and autumn, strong sunshine in midsummer, and the temperature in the morning and evening is so cold that people can't stretch out their hands. It's better to apply this facial oil, but it's of no use. Besides, it's easy for men to wipe it all the time."
Make people laugh.”
"What's so funny? Even though it's work, you still have to protect yourself! Women want face, and so do men..."
Su Jianmin interrupted his wife's words, "Okay, it's not a girl's family. I think Zhiyuan is pretty good as he is now. His skin is a little rougher, and he looks more like a grown man!"
"What's good? I'm talking to my son, don't interrupt!"
Su Jianmin didn't dare to speak anymore after being choked by his wife, and immediately closed his mouth.
His fourth son burst out laughing: "My father scolded my mother and I didn't dare to say anything, hahaha..."
Su Jianmin patted Xiaosi's head, "I respect and respect my wife, do you understand? Learn more and see more. You all have to learn from dad in the future, do you hear me?"
His words made Bai Lu laugh, and for a while the children also laughed.
The station bell rang several times, and it was already five o'clock. The Su family did not go home, but went directly to the hotel.
It was also the first time for Su Zhiyuan to enter the Jinghai Hotel. He was very hesitant before entering the hotel and asked his father in a low voice: "Dad, are we really going to have New Year's Eve dinner here?"
"Of course it's true, dad still lied to you?"
After saying that, Su Jianmin took the lead into the hotel and was asked by the waiter: "How many people are there?"
"Ah?" Su Jianmin was stunned for a moment, then counted the number of people, "Eight, yes, eight people in total."
The waiter asked again: "Sir, do you want to dine in or in a private room?"
"What?" Su Jianmin didn't understand.
Bai Lu said at this time: "We can just dine in."
"Okay, please come over here." The waiter led everyone to a large dining table. After everyone was seated, he gave them three thick menu books. "You guys take a look first and choose what you want to eat.
Tell me after you get it."
After the waiter left temporarily, Su Jianmin asked his wife in a low voice, "What did he mean when he asked about dining in just now?"
"The question is whether we should eat in the hall or go into the private room. The private room is a separate small room and will not be disturbed by other people. However, there is an extra private room fee. I don't think it is necessary, so I chose to dine in.
"
"That's right, just dine in. I've never been here before. He suddenly asked me that question, which confused me."
After Su Jianmin finished speaking, his second son smiled and said, "Fortunately our mother understands this, otherwise we would have been embarrassed just now."
Su Xiaosi and Su Xiaowu were reading a cookbook together, drooling over the photos on it.
"I want to eat this, and this, this red shrimp..."
Su Zhiyuan looked at the prices on the menu and didn't dare to order any dish, thinking it was too expensive.
He was assigned to the maintenance team just six months ago, and now he is just an apprentice in oil field maintenance, earning a monthly salary of 32 yuan.
The braised prawns that Xiaosi just pointed at cost 28 yuan, and the oil lantern chicken was 25 yuan...
"Zhiyuan, what do you want to eat?" Su Jianmin asked and said, "You order today."
"Ah? Me?" Su Zhiyuan was stunned, "I don't know..."
When he was talking, a voice came from not far away, "Ah! Mom, look, isn't that my aunt and uncle's family? They are also eating here, it's incredible."
The speaker is Bai Xing.
She finished speaking in an exaggerated tone, raised a sarcastic smile on her lips, pulled the waiter aside and said, "Hey, is there no barrier to entry to your hotel now? What will those people do if they have no money to pay the bill after eating?"
