In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Shi Zhijian sent Chen Huimin to follow Su Youwei to the sea that morning to pick up Su Youwei's mother and younger brother.
Mother Su and Little Brother Su did not expect that Su Youwei would pick them up to live ashore, and they were immediately excited. However, they were reluctant to part with the shabby belongings at home.
Chen Huimin persuaded them to abandon the rice jars, tables, chairs, and benches, and only took useful pots, pans, bedding, etc., and prepared to go ashore.
In this way, Mother Su was still a little worried, so she gave the key to the floating house to her neighbor Uncle Dahai, asking him to help clean it when he had nothing to do, saying that she might come back to live there again some time.
Uncle Dahai said what to do when he came back. Life on the shore is better than at sea. If you live well, don't come back. Follow Youwei and enjoy the happiness on the shore.
When Su's mother and Su's little brother left with Su Youwei, all the people in the floating house area came out to see them off.
For these people who have lived at sea all their lives, it is a great joy to be able to live and receive education on land.
In particular, Mother Su was very popular. She often helped her neighbors pick seaweed and sew fishing nets. Everyone was reluctant to leave her.
Just like that, under the watch of Uncle Dahai, Uncle A Shui, Mrs. Sea Urchin and others, facing the sea breeze, Su Youwei took her mother and brother on a sampan and left the floating house where she had lived for decades.
…
After landing on the shore, when they saw Chen Minhui's Bentley parked on the shore, Mother Su and Little Brother Su were stunned.
They had never seen such a luxury car in their lives. They had only heard people say that there was a car on the shore that made a beeping noise and ran very fast. They did not expect that they would be able to sit in it today.
Chen Huimin stuffed all the pots and pans, tattered bedding, salted fish and pickles into the luxury car.
His move made everyone at the dock stunned.
"Am I reading that right? Such a luxury car is stuffed with salted fish?"
"What the hell are there so many pots and pans?"
Chen Huimin also felt a little distressed. Apart from anything else, the smell of salted fish alone made the Bentley smell very unpleasant.
Looks like I need to wash the car a few more times!
"Mom, where are you looking?" Su Xiaodi was not being honest while sitting in the car. He looked here and there, feeling that everything was very novel.
Mother Su was also very curious, but she could only endure it, act like an adult, and scolded little brother Su, "Don't move! The driver uncle is driving!"
…
"Here we are! This is it!"
Chen Huimin parked the car under the tenement building.
Deng Jiugong, Zhang Alian and others came out of the rental house and waited to watch the excitement.
Shi Zhijian accompanied his elder sister Shi Yufeng downstairs.
Bao'er also followed him prancingly with the little black dog.
Shi Yufeng deliberately didn't go to the theater today.
She wanted to see what Su Youwei's family was like.
When Mother Su and Little Brother Su got out of the Bentley with bare feet like beggars and took out the pots, pans, and stuffed salted fish, Shi Yufeng almost fainted.
"Mr. Shi, what's wrong with your sister?" Seeing Shi Yufeng's shaky appearance, Su Youwei hurriedly asked Shi Zhijian.
"She was so excited! She was so happy to see your grandma that she almost fainted!"
"Really, but it doesn't look like it!"
"Don't worry about her, help your mother pick up the things first!"
Mother Su stepped on the extremely solid ground with her bare feet for the first time. Her mind was a little dazed and her eyes were a little moist.
Little Brother Su hid behind Mother Su, tugging on her loose trousers with his hands, his eyes darting around, and then he looked at Bao'er and the little black dog Bao'er was leading.
Shi Zhijian took Chen Huimin to help carry the luggage.
Deng Jiugong and other male tenants also hurriedly stepped forward to help. This was a bonus and might lead to a reduction in rent.
Shi Yufeng finally stabilized her mind.
At this time, Su Youwei brought her mother over to greet Shi Yufeng.
"Hello, I, I am Youwei's mother, thank you!" Su's mother didn't know what to say, so she grabbed Shi Yufeng's hand and just thanked her.
Shi Yufeng didn't know what to say or what to do.
On the contrary, Bao'er proactively stepped forward to greet Su Xiaodi, "What's your name? My name is Jiang Meibao."
"My name is Su Xiaodi." Su Xiaodi said timidly. He felt a little ashamed in front of Bao'er.
"Brother Su, right? Then we know each other now, and we can be friends."
"Be friends?"
"Yes, don't you want to?"
"No, I do!" Su Xiaodi waved his hands hurriedly, fearing that Bao'er would regret it.
He has been living on the sea, and the children he has seen are all dark little charcoal-headed ones. How could he have seen such a beautiful little girl like Bao'er?
"We are friends, I'll treat you to some candy." Bao'er took out a candy and handed it to Su Xiaodi.
Su Xiaodi timidly took it and couldn't believe his eyes. It wasn't until he actually held the candy in his hands that he believed it was real and not a dream.
"Try it, it's very sweet!"
Little Brother Su peeled off the candy and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't dare to chew it. Instead, he moistened it with saliva and tasted it slowly.
"Sweet!" Su Xiaodi said to Bao'er with a smile.
"Woof woof woof!!!" the little black dog barked next to Bao'er, as if to remind Bao'er that he didn't introduce himself.
"By the way, its name is Xiao Hei!" Bao'er knelt down and touched the head of the little black dog with his hand, "Here, you can touch it too!"
"Can I?"
"Of course! It doesn't bite!"
So Su Xiaodi plucked up the courage and reached out to touch the little black head's head.
The little black dog barked "woof, woof, woof" at him twice.
"Look, it's greeting you." Bao'er smiled.
At this time, other children downstairs also gathered around, looking curiously at Little Brother Su, who had dark skin and bare feet, and was very different from them.
Bao'er is the "eldest sister" in this area, and she directly commands the children: "He is Little Brother Su, and he will also be my friend from now on. Get to know him!"
How dare you disobey what the eldest sister says?
These children rushed forward and introduced themselves in a flattering manner.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Ermao!"
"My name is Little Turtle!"
"My name is Dandan!"
The children have no scheming ideas and are very innocent.
For them, playing with multiple friends will be more exciting in the future.
But for Shi Yufeng, she is not a child, so of course she cannot achieve this state of "no distracting thoughts".
Shi Yufeng watched Su's mother carrying some things that were even more tattered than rags upstairs, and she felt panicked in her heart.
At this time, Mother Su came over and said with some embarrassment: "Ms. Shi, I know that moving here will cause you a lot of trouble! Also, I heard that you only need to pay the rent to live here."
Shi Yufeng glanced around. Deng Jiugong and Zhang Alian were looking at him asking for credit. Needless to say, these words were said by them.
"But I don't know how much we have to pay...Youwei sent us something like this when she was working. Take a look, do you think it's good?" Mother Su timidly took out a handkerchief, opened it, and found a stack of them inside.
Sub-bill.
Shi Yufeng took a look and was startled when she saw that the stack of money orders amounted to one hundred thousand yuan!
"How is that possible?"
Shi Yufeng stared at Su's mother with wide eyes, wondering if she was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?
