Chapter 874: Gratitude, Remarriage, and Eating
"The one who calls out his name outside Donghua Gate is a real man!"
In feudal society, once the imperial examination system was introduced, diligence and studiousness became a shortcut for poor people to jump up the social ladder.
Later, the imperial examination system was abolished and college students appeared.
Although, the status of college students is far lower than that of imperial examination masters.
However, getting into university and studying in an ivory tower is still the main means for ordinary people to jump social classes.
Qiao Yuzhen naturally also wanted to go to college.
Occasionally when no one was around, she would take out her treasured college admission letter, examine it carefully, wipe it, and then imagine a scene in which her parents had not been in a car accident, the family of four were still living happily together, and she had already gone to college.
Qiao Yuzhen thought what she did was secretive, so she kept hiding from her sister.
But this rental house is only this big.
Qiao Yuqin was not the kind of girl who would keep to herself. Having seen her sister's sneaky behavior many times, she thought her sister was hiding something good, so she took out her sister's college admission letter while her sister was away.
When she saw the admission letter, she realized how much her sister had sacrificed for her.
Lambs kneel to suckle, and crows repay their parents.
Qiao Yuzhen has given so much to her sister, so Qiao Yuqin naturally wants to repay her sister.
Since she herself has no ability, she can only find a capable "brother-in-law" to help.
Su Mingzhe listened, pondered for a moment, and agreed:
"No problem, I'll take care of your sister's college admission!"
Although Su Mingzhe agreed to Qiao Yuqin's request, he still needed to discuss this matter with Qiao Yuzhen.
After all, if Qiao Yuzhen went to college, there would be no one to take care of Qiao Yuqin.
At that time, either Qiao Yuqin will be sent to be raised by relatives, or a nanny will be hired!
Qiao Yuqin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Su Mingzhe off.
Although she had experienced the death of both her parents and was kidnapped, she was still young after all and did not think things through in such a complicated way.
In her opinion, she was no longer a child, and as long as she was given enough food and clothing, she could survive.
You don’t need to live with relatives or hire a nanny to take care of yourself.
So, she boldly asked her "brother-in-law" for help to let her sister go to college!
After her sister goes to college, she will be able to take care of herself.
It's about five o'clock.
When Su Mingzhe arrived at Xu's house, Liu Xiaoyun had not yet "got off work".
After asking, I found out that Liu Xiaoyun was helping Fang Hui check homework in other subjects for free.
Su Mingzhe looked at the empty Xu's house and asked curiously:
"Aunt Xu isn't home?"
Today is the weekend, and Xu Yanxin usually stays at home with her daughter.
"My mom is on a business trip with my dad!"
When Fang Hui talked about her parents, a happy smile began to fill her face.
Fang Jianzhou finally resigned from his stable job and is now learning how to do business with his ex-wife Xu Yanxin.
The two of them already had a deep emotional foundation, and after their divorce, they never found a partner.
Now, the two are doing business together again. In Fang Hui's opinion, her parents are only one step away from remarrying.
After a while, Liu Xiaoyun packed up her things and left.
Su Mingzhe immediately hugged Fang Hui in his arms and began to play with Fang Hui's little feet.
It’s been cold recently, and other girls are all wearing cotton jackets and trousers.
Children from wealthy families also wear fleece coats and pants.
Fang Hui was wearing the ultra-thin tights that Su Mingzhe bought for her.
Fang Hui's legs were like two chicken sausages, white, thin, well-proportioned and slender. Every time Su Mingzhe came to the Xu family, he liked to hold this pair of beautiful legs and feet in his arms and play with them slowly.
Over time, when there was no one else at home, Fang Hui would take the initiative to put her calves in the man's arms.
Su Mingzhe played with his girlfriend's feet for a while, and suddenly came to his senses:
"So, you're home alone today?"
"……Um."
Fang Wei's cheeks were as pink as clouds, and her eyes were blurred as she looked at her boyfriend.
She knew that she would definitely be bullied by her boyfriend again tonight.
As expected, Su Mingzhe confirmed that his girlfriend was alone at home tonight, and he immediately laughed and jumped off the bed:
"Fang Hui, it's getting dark outside. Pack up and let's go out for dinner first!"
Fang Hui always listens to her boyfriend. If her boyfriend says to go out to eat, she will go out to eat with him.
Soon, the two put on their coats, walked out of the Julong community, and came to a nearby Su cuisine restaurant.
The time period around five or six o'clock is the peak period.
Su Mingzhe brought Fang Hui in. Because their clothes and shoes were all branded, they were immediately led by the waiter to the private room on the second floor.
I looked at the menu and saw that in addition to Jinling cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine from Jiangsu cuisine, there were also some Zhejiang cuisine.
Su Mingzhe ordered a fragrant tripe, a squirrel fish, and a crab meat lion head, then handed them to Fang Wei and asked her to continue ordering.
Fang Hui knew her boyfriend's appetite, so she followed suit and ordered prawns, Dongpo pork, and stir-fried sea cucumber.
Finally, Su Mingzhe ordered two more soups.
The waiter didn't expect that Su Mingzhe and Fang Hui would order so many dishes. After secretly smacking his lips, he couldn't help but ask the front desk and door waiters to help keep an eye on them when he went down to serve the dishes.
Among customers who order so many dishes, there are often some unscrupulous people who eat and drink for free.
Because there were only two guests at the table, if the waiter was distracted for a moment, they would run away.
Fortunately, the waiter's worries did not come true.
This Su cuisine restaurant is open near Chaoyangmen, so it must be quite good.
Su Mingzhe took two bites and felt that it tasted good. Unconsciously, the chopsticks in his hand began to put food into his mouth.
Of course, although his movements were fast, they were graceful and skillful, without any tinkling or clanking sounds.
Compared to her boyfriend's "agility", Fang Hui's eating action is to taste it slowly and leisurely.
Moreover, after each dish was served, Fang Hui would take a bite or two and then put down her chopsticks.
The reason why Fang Hui ate so little and moved so slowly was to "take care" of Su Mingzhe's appetite.
Otherwise, after she filled her stomach, she would have to put down her chopsticks and watch the man eat.
By then, it would make the situation even more awkward.
Half an hour later, the two finished their dinner and called the waiter to pay the bill.
Because we didn't order any drinks, even though there were quite a few main dishes, the total price was not expensive. Six dishes and two soups only cost us a little over two hundred yuan.
Su Mingzhe handed over three hundred-dollar bills.
After a while, the waiter brought back the change.
Su Mingzhe waved his hand slightly, took out a fifty-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it over, saying with a smile:
"Thank you for your hard work. Take it as a tip!"
Just now, the waitress was staring at Su Mingzhe and Fang Hui nervously. Su Mingzhe did not use the [Heaven-Swallowing Technique] and thought that the waitress was interested in him because he was handsome.
Su Mingzhe, who was "self-indulgent", was so happy that he gave the waiter more than 100 yuan as a tip.
This restaurant is near Chaoyangmen, and foreigners often come here to eat. The waiters occasionally receive tips, although not that much, but they reacted quickly and hurriedly thanked Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe responded with a 'confident' smile, took Fang Hui's hand, and left the restaurant.
