Chapter 59 Our family has been to the old house this year.
Chapter 59 "This year our whole family will go to the old house."
Author: The flowers bloom with the trees
Holding Xu Su's hand on his lap, Zhou Mochen said tightly: "Don't be afraid of me, okay? Don't hide from me, you know how reluctant I am."
He leaned his head over and tried to make eye contact with her, while coaxing in a low voice: "Susu, it was my fault just now, please forgive me this time?"
Xu Su sideways opened his eyes, not looking at him, and said slowly: "Zhou Mochen, you should have noticed that I have a very bad temper and am unruly and willful, especially towards you. There is absolutely no need for you to humiliate yourself to accommodate me.
"
Zhou Mochen unconsciously exerted force on his hand, and Xu Su felt that his hand was a little painful from being held, so he heard him say: "No, it's my fault that I asked too much of you."
Between them, he has always been the one forcing it, so why would he still want to ask her to respect his love equally?
The little girl is still young and doesn't know what she is doing. What should she do if she is frightened by him?
Zhou Mochen was a little annoyed and slowly let go of his hand: "Go back, I will pick you up tomorrow morning."
Xu Su rubbed the red hand held by him, and didn't want to say anything more. She opened the car door without saying a word, didn't ask for the baked sweet potatoes, and left without looking back.
Zhou Mochen stayed alone in the car for a long time, watching her back disappear and the sky turn completely dark. He slowly peeled a chestnut he bought for her and put it in his mouth.

When I got home, the Xu family was having dinner.
The new home had three bedrooms and one living room. Xu Su was assigned to a south-facing second bedroom, which contained a newly made table, wardrobe, and a bed, but nothing else.
But even so, it's a thousand times better than before.
The dining table was placed against the wall, and Xu Weiping was sitting facing the door. When he saw Xu Su coming back, he was startled: "Why are you out of school right now?"
Even my daughter didn’t know that she was taking her final exam today.
Xu Su was not surprised. She nodded: "There is no need to attend classes for the final exam today. There will be another day of exams tomorrow and then we will have winter vacation."
Chen Shulan also turned her head and looked over, and said with a sigh: "No wonder I saw your room is full of books today. It turns out that the semester is over, how many days does your school have holidays?"
Xu Su brought all the books from school back yesterday, and today she only carried a small bag with the stationery needed for the exam to go to school.
It was difficult for Chen Shulan to find the books in her room. Xu Su changed her shoes, put the bag containing stationery into her room, and replied: "School starts on the sixth day of the first lunar month."
Xu Weiping was a little surprised: "Only eight days of leave?"
"Yeah." Xu Su walked into the kitchen, washed his hands, and came out with a bowl of rice. "The first year of high school is open for eight days, and the second year of high school is only for five days."
As for the senior high school students, I heard the exact words of the head teacher of the junior high school rocket class: The college entrance examination will be in a few months. How dare you expect to have a leisurely life?
Of course, you can’t take a day off without taking a day off.
From what Huang Feng said, it was left for two days.
New Year's Eve and the first day of the first lunar month.
As for the students returning to school on the second day of the first lunar month, it sounds miserable, but when I think about it, the teachers who teach the senior high school students cannot pay a good New Year greeting and visit relatives.
And the students only need to stick to this term, but the teachers.
Xu Su took a bite of her meal silently, paying tribute to the hardworking gardeners in her heart.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Xu Su said: "I am celebrating the New Year and want to go back to spend it with my grandma."
Chen Shulan was picking up vegetables for Xu Yang. She frowned when she heard this, with a look of disapproval: "You have lived in the countryside for more than ten years, and you finally came to the city this year. Why are you still thinking about going back to the countryside?"
In her words, she expressed a lot of disdain for the place where she was born and raised. Chen Shulan has always been proud that she married into a family with a Changshi registered permanent residence and does not need to dig in the fields like her brothers and sisters.
Although their family's conditions are not that good compared to those in Changshi, they still consider themselves to be on a higher level than the miserable rural people.
Xu Yang attended primary school for half a year, perhaps because there were many children of migrant workers from rural areas in primary schools in old industrial areas, so they were deeply influenced by the school.
After hearing what Chen Shulan said, he laughed loudly at a young age: "Rednecks like to stay in the countryside, and Xu Su is a country bumpkin...just like Li Min in our class."
Xu Su frowned in disgust. In fact, Xu Yang was not bad-looking, with a bit of a delicate look between his eyebrows, but his modest handsomeness was covered up by his current appearance, leaving him with only ugliness.
Chen Shulan here not only didn’t think there was anything wrong with what her son said, she even gave him some lean meat with chopsticks appreciatively: “We Yangyang are so good, let’s not go to the countryside, where the ground is full of mud and chicken and duck excrement.
It stinks so much, let’s Yangyang stay in the city, study hard, and go to university in a big city, okay?”
Xu Su held the bowl and ate quietly, turning a deaf ear to the conversation between mother and son, as she had long been used to it.
On the side, Xu Weiping, as the head of the family, made a decision, "This year our whole family will go to the old house."
He didn't allow for rebuttal and said: "If you want to honor your grandma, just wait until you make money from work to buy her some good things. Didn't you just go back last National Day? Now you have to go back again. A student is running around doing this every day."
What? The fare is too much."
The total fare for two transfers is 30 yuan, which is indeed not a small amount nowadays.
Xu Su continued to remain silent. If she didn't want to go, she wouldn't go. She didn't have much hope.
There are still two years at most. When she comes of age, if she wants to visit her grandmother, she doesn't need to ask anyone for permission.
When they first got the house, the couple thought it was thanks to their beautiful daughter, so they were very passionate about Xu Su for a while.
Until the house was acquired, renovated and moved in, for more than two months, the old director of the textile factory never asked about his daughter again.
Xu Weiping and his wife couldn't help but suspect that they had made a mistake. Although they didn't change their attitude towards Xu Su directly, they were no longer as affectionate as before.
After all, she was a beautiful and outstanding daughter, so they were still willing to keep up appearances, at least they didn't take back the room promised to her.
Xu Yang opposite her was making strange expressions at her. Even after being together for half a year, he still didn't like Xu Su as his sister.
Of course, Xu Su always treated him as nothing.
Chen Shulan added: "Today, my family bought a new bicycle. Now our home is much further away from your brother's school than before. I have to use a car to pick up your brother. You are closer to school and older than your brother. These days
I'm used to walking now, so you should just walk to school by yourself from now on."
Since the old bicycle broke down, Xu Weiping took it to a repair shop to have it repaired. However, it turned out that it was very difficult to replace the chain, which cost more than fifty yuan in repair fees.
The couple thought that they might as well buy a new car, but they were busy renovating and moving to a new home. They couldn't afford to buy a car, so they have been putting it off until now.
Chen Shulan always thought that Xu Su walked to and from school these days.
Now that her new home is closer to No. 1 Middle School, it only takes 20 to 30 minutes to walk. Chen Shulan doesn't think it's hard for her daughter.
