As Su Xiaotian was going to the factory with Zhao Hongmei and a few others that afternoon, she entrusted Su Xiaosi with the remaining tasks.
Su Xiaosi, finally able to help, felt a little better about his earlier frustration.
Fortunately, his little sister wasn't doing everything herself and had left him, her older brother, with some work.
"I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly!" Su Xiaosi promised.
Comrade Cui was slightly surprised to hear Su Xiaosi say that.
Could it be that this young couple was led by the young lady?
And that the money was also hers?
Were young people these days all so capable?
But regardless, his own problem was solved, and Comrade Cui didn't bother with other matters.
After arranging to meet at the Housing Administration Bureau entrance that afternoon, the three parted ways.
On the way back, Su Xiaosi looked at Su Xiaotian.
"Fourth Brother, why do you keep looking at me?"
"I'm just seeing what else my sister doesn't know," Su Xiaosi said with a smile.
He had always thought he was quite capable, but today he realized that compared to his sister, he was nothing.
He wondered when his sister had learned about knowledge points like international gold prices.
He certainly didn't know.
Su Xiaotian chuckled, "There's still a lot I don't know. Fourth Brother, if you say that, others will laugh at you."
"What's there to laugh about? My sister is just amazing." Su Xiaosi didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
When the siblings returned home, they just caught the end of lunch.
Since it was the holidays, Grandma Su didn't go to Yiming Pavilion often and stayed home to look after her grandchildren.
Lunch was specially prepared by Grandma Su, thinking that Su Xiaotian would be going to the factory and away for several days, not eating or sleeping well. How could Grandma Su not prepare extra?
"Take this meat sauce and minced meat to your Uncle and Aunt. It's not easy for them at the factory." Grandma Su thought not only of her granddaughter but also of her son and daughter-in-law.
"I know, Grandma," Su Xiaotian replied while eating diligently.
"And I saw this mosquito net a couple of days ago. It's more breathable than the gauze mosquito nets we used before. Take this with you too." Grandma Su took out another package and said to Su Xiaotian.
Su Laoda and Wang Xianghua lived at the pig farm. Although Su Xiaotian had transformed it into a nearly modernized pig farm, it was still prone to breeding mosquitoes and insects regardless of hygiene efforts.
Grandma Su had therefore specially prepared mosquito nets and mosquito repellent for them.
Hearing Grandma Su say this, Su Xiaotian also remembered the anti-mosquito sachets she had prepared a few days ago. She would give a few to her Uncle and Aunt later to hang in the mosquito nets, which would be even more thoughtful.
"Grandma, I'll also take the sachets I prepared for Uncle and Aunt, and they can carry one with them."
"Our good girl is so thoughtful. Alright, take them all, and give one to everyone who's working."
Grandma Su praised Su Xiaotian with a beaming smile.
For a family to live well, the key was mutual care.
Grandma Su had prepared a lot of things for Su Xiaotian. When Zhao Hongmei and the others saw that Su Xiaotian was bringing several large bags, they were startled.
"Xiaotian, are you going for a few days or are you planning to move and not come back?" Zhao Hongmei couldn't help but ask.
"A large portion is for my Uncle and Aunt."
"We'll help you carry the bags," Zhao Hongmei said with a smile when she heard it was for the elders in the family, and was about to help.
But then she saw Su Xiaotian lift all four bags by herself, without any effort.
Well, a strong person was indeed a strong person.
"Xiaotian, carry one for us too. It's not right for us to walk empty-handed while you carry so much!" Zhao Hongmei said quickly.
"Yes, Xiaotian, let's each carry one." Dong Yanan also quickly offered to help.
In the end, Zhao Hongmei and Dong Yanan each carried a bag, and Su Xiaotian carried two as they went out to catch the bus.
Grandma Su wanted her grandsons to see Su Xiaotian off, but they were refused.
The bus swayed towards the suburbs. The road conditions were fine along the way, and since it was going to the suburbs, there weren't many people on the bus.
Zhao Hongmei and Dong Yanan chatted animatedly at first, but later, they actually fell asleep.
Su Xiaotian woke them up when they arrived at their destination.
"Are we here?"
The two of them groggily followed Su Xiaotian off the bus. What met their eyes was indeed similar to the countryside.
"We're here. Look, that area is the breeding farm, and this area is the factory," Su Xiaotian pointed them out from afar.
"Such a large area?" Dong Yanan hadn't expected that the small factory Su Xiaotian mentioned would be of such scale.
"It's alright, it might be even bigger in the future," Su Xiaotian said humbly.
The scale of this factory was not yet sufficient. Su Xiaotian expected to expand soon, but purchasing land now had cost a large sum of money, and she wasn't sure if the factory's working capital was enough for expansion.
"Xiaotian, I never imagined you'd be such a golden thigh. I must hold onto you tightly," Zhao Hongmei said exaggeratedly.
Su Xiaotian gave her a playful glare and said, "You always talk nonsense."
"Xiaotian, I'm serious. When I saw you had a boutique outside of school, I thought it was already very good. Who knew you'd have such a large factory? No wonder Sun Xiaoyu clings to your leg so tightly."
That fellow Sun Xiaoyu had been working with Xiaotian for almost a year and had already become rich.
They were in the same dormitory, so why didn't they know about the advantage of proximity?
Zhao Hongmei felt that they had missed too many opportunities.
From now on, they had to follow Xiaotian.
Wang Xianghua was overjoyed when she saw Su Xiaotian.
"I heard you were coming, so I tidied up the dormitory over there for you long ago," Wang Xianghua said, beaming.
Zhao Hongmei and the others knew that the Su family had very close relationships, but they didn't realize they were *this* close.
If they hadn't known the situation, they would have thought that the person in front of them was Xiaotian's own mother.
"Auntie, thank you. I knew you were good to me," Su Xiaotian said, acting spoiled while holding Wang Xianghua's arm.
"Oh my, Xiaotian, don't hug me. I just finished feeding the pigs, and I'm not clean."
Wang Xianghua was pleased by Su Xiaotian's closeness, but she still had to pull Su Xiaotian away.
"Auntie, it's okay. We've also gotten dusty along the way," Su Xiaotian didn't mind at all.
They were all children from the countryside, and she was very down-to-earth.
Wang Xianghua was actually worried that Su Xiaotian's two classmates might be disgusted.
She had heard before that these two girls were different from the ones who had visited their home during the Chinese New Year. These were two city girls, and she heard their families were quite well-off.
Xiaotian was also fine, but bringing two city girls to the pig farm, wasn't she afraid they would be laughed at by city people?
