The room is indeed a bit messy, but it's not that it's messy. It's because the space in the room is too small and filled with various furniture and objects. Compared with the objects in the room, it's still hygienic.
The patterned floor tiles are quite clean and have faded to white, with no spots or stains visible to the naked eye.
There is actually another one near the balcony...
The old-fashioned pedal sewing machine was one of the three most important items for a wedding twenty or thirty years ago, but in the next few years, only grandmas will be able to use it.
"It's a bit messy. I haven't had time to clean it up. Is there no way to put down the ground? Haha, in order to take care of me conveniently, your aunt brought her work home, so that I can help a little, and she won't delay her work as usual.
.”
Su Huaren supported his body with a little difficulty with both hands and made way for a small space on the sofa. Su Su's mother was also busy moving the things on the sofa to the side, so that there was room for Shen Dapeng to sit down.
"Uncle, your legs haven't recovered yet. You should rest more." As soon as Shen Dapeng sat down on the sofa, he felt that his whole body was sinking in. With the sound of the springs of the old sofa, he was so frightened that he stood up quickly.
"I'm sorry, this broken sofa was left behind by the landlord. When we rented the apartment, we told you not to throw away the things left behind."
Su Huaren awkwardly pressed the place where Shen Dapeng had just sat, and then gave Su Su's mother a sign, who had just brought a plastic stool.
"Uncle, aunt, you don't have to be polite to me. Su Su and I are good friends, just treat me as your own child." Shen Dapeng always felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange. Didn't we agree to treat him to dinner? Didn't we say sheep?
Should the soup be simmered over low heat? But there is no smell of mutton soup or beef in sauce in the house.
"Mom, wash the fruits for Dapeng and eat them." Su Huaren said enthusiastically, with a smile on his face, "Dapeng, thanks to you for sending me to the hospital this time, to express your gratitude, don't you let me
Su Su asked you to come home for a meal. We thought you would come only in the afternoon, but we didn't expect you to come at noon... Hehe, we haven't prepared it yet."
"This... Su Su, she..."
"It's not even eleven o'clock yet, Su Su hasn't finished school yet."
Shen Dapeng wanted to explain that Su Su did not tell him the specific meal time, but Su's mother misunderstood that Shen Dapeng was asking Su Su, "I was busy with work and couldn't spare time to buy vegetables. Su Su said she would be back at noon.
I bought it on the way, and we thought one afternoon would be enough to prepare it.”
"Su Su is back from school shopping for groceries? Then I'll pick her up. It's quite far from the school and she has to carry a bunch of things up six floors. She's too tired."
"No, no, no, no, Su Su is in good health. It won't be a problem to carry something. They say that children of poor people become rich early. Su Su is a good child. She has helped us work since she was a child, and we don't have to worry about her studies."
When Su Huaren thought of his daughter, his face was full of apologies. Her daughter had never attended a cram school outside, and her academic performance was still among the best. If the family conditions were better and she could make up for her classes like children from rich families, her daughter's performance would definitely be better.
good.
Su Huaren always believed that his daughter was good enough, but she was born into such a poor family, which delayed her future. He hid his job in Deng Sanlun because he was afraid that his daughter would lose face in front of his classmates and he would not be able to give his child a wealthy family and privileges.
environment, at least it cannot be a stumbling block for my daughter's future.
"It's okay to let Dapeng pick up our daughter. After all, this is a girl's home, so it's not the same as a boy's." Compared to Su Huaren's emotional apology, Su's mother kept looking at Shen Dapeng with eager eyes.
After a long time, Shen Dapeng felt awkward, but facing two elders whom he was not familiar with, it was difficult to reveal too much. After hearing what Su's mother said, he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I
I'm going to pick up Su Su and buy some more vegetables. Didn't I say that Su Su will be cooking today? I want to have a good taste."
"My dear, why are you so heartless? Dapeng is a guest, so you let the guest do the work?"
"What kind of guest? Dapeng is our daughter's good friend, but he is also a child in my eyes. Why don't I let my own child do some work?"
"Uncle, your words are too foreign. I prefer aunt's statement. Su Su and I are both children, juniors. We were still young before and needed your selfless love and care, but now that we have grown up, we will be rewarded.
It's time."
"Look, look...what literate people say makes sense."
Mother Su stepped forward and held Shen Dapeng's hand, patting it happily, "You go find Su Su. I just have time to tidy up the house, otherwise we won't have a place to eat."
"Okay, uncle and aunt, see you later."
"Thank you for your hard work, Dapeng." Su Huaren still felt that it was better to let the guests work. This was not the way he, a small businessman, treated his guests.
Shen Dapeng left, and Su's mother sent her off and then came back. Su Huaren still looked angry, "Tell me, Dapeng is the benefactor of our family. Today is the first time he comes to our house and he is a guest. How can you let him
Are you going to pick up Su Su? Let the guests do the work, what does Dapeng think of us?"
"Dapeng said, don't be polite. Besides, he is a child and he doesn't have as many worldly thoughts as you."
Mother Su rolled her eyes and started to pack up the handicrafts that the clothing store proprietress had arranged for her. The sewing machine stopped after a few beeps, and turned to look at Su Huaren with a smile, "Dad, what did you say...
Isn’t Shen Dapeng a good kid?”
"It's quite good. He has a good family, studies well, and has a good personality. Most importantly, this child has good character. He is neither a distant relative nor a close neighbor to our family. But whether it was my daughter who was in danger before or I was in a car accident this time,
, he is eager to help, and as a friend, he is enough..."
Halfway through the words, Su Huaren looked up and noticed a slightly strange expression on his wife's face. It was the proud smile of a typical matchmaker in TV dramas. He instantly understood what his wife was thinking, waved his hands and shook his head, "Don't mess with the rules.
He is not suitable for our daughter."
"Why is it inappropriate? I think it's good. In terms of study, if my daughter works harder, she can get into a prestigious university. Personality, my daughter has a little girl's temper, but she has been filial to her children since she was a child; her character is even better
Needless to say, when those social gangsters demolished things by force, my daughter found legal provisions to stand up for everyone; as a family..."
Speaking of the word 'family', Mother Su lost her confidence as she had been a moment ago and hesitated for a moment, "Our family is indeed not a powerful and wealthy upper-class family, but we don't steal, rob, or do anything else."
It's illegal. We work with our hands to make money to support our family. If we don't have any money, we won't be hungry or freezing our daughter, right?"
