Chapter 257 So many!
The Su family immediately joined the hot pot team.
As time passed, everyone ate enthusiastically, with beads of sweat appearing on the tips of their noses. While eating, they also took off their cotton-padded jackets and ate more freely with their arms spread out.
This copper hotpot restaurant not only tastes great, but also has very affordable portions. Each dish comes in a full plate, and each table gets one. Hansen ordered a few extra plates of his favorite lamb, so they enjoyed the meal to their heart's content!
After everyone finished eating, they sat on the stools and touched their round bellies, "This copper hot pot is so delicious!"
The children's feelings were more direct, "We want to come and eat here again in the future!"
"A bunch of greedy cats!" Mother Su pointed at them and smiled. "When we make money doing business in the capital, let your parents treat your aunt and uncle to a few meals, and you will also be able to benefit from it."
"Mom, don't worry!" Li Yue replied directly, "When Wang Ye and I have a successful business, we can come and eat whenever we want."
"Okay, your father and I will wait!" Su's mother is full of confidence in the future.
Everyone continued chatting for a while, and when they felt less bloated, they stood up, holding on to the table, and went home.
The house is still not cleaned up!
After everyone took the bus back to the yard, they looked at the luggage in the corridor with smiles on their faces. They moved the things to their own rooms according to the marks they made when packing. Then they moved the things belonging to Su's father and mother to the main room. After helping them clean up and cleaning the living room together, they dispersed to do their own things.
After everything was packed up, they helped move the children's tables, chairs and beds to the front yard and arranged them according to the children's ideas. Then the children began to take out their own luggage and started to pack.
They also carefully took the books out of their bags and placed them on their own desks.
The children all know that their family can come to the capital city thanks to their knowledgeable aunt and uncle, and that their parents or uncles have all been admitted to university, so they no longer have to dig for food in the fields and live a life different from that of the villagers. They all understand the importance of knowledge, so they have an instinctive emphasis on books, and hope that they can follow in their family's footsteps, be admitted to university in the future, and earn a bright future.
Su Ping and the others saw the children's actions, looked at each other, and smiled knowingly, with anticipation and yearning in their smiles.
After cleaning up their respective rooms, the Su family gathered together again to clean up the yard. After piling the snow together, they looked at the somewhat empty yard and discussed planting flowers and plants next spring.
But no one had any idea what to plant.
Su Yunyun thought back to when she bought the house, she heard someone say that she could plant crabapples in this courtyard, which symbolizes wealth, brotherly harmony, and that crabapples also represent beautiful women, gorgeous and elegant. Then she could place a fish tank in the yard, associating the crabapples with the goldfish in the tank, taking the homophonic meaning of "a house full of gold and jade."
At the same time, many people like to grow lilacs because of their long flowering period. The word "ding" in its name means "population" in ancient times, and the word "xiang" contains the implication of "study hard and become an official", so lilacs are given the vision of "prosperous population" and "grand plans".
If you want to have many children and good fortune, you plant pomegranate trees; if you hope for everything to go your way, you plant persimmon trees; and if you enjoy a sweet life, you plant jujube trees. In short, these are the common flowers and trees planted in the courtyards of Beijing.
Su Yunyun told all this, and seeing her family nod in agreement, they all said that they would quickly buy all these things in the spring of next year to make the scenery more beautiful and lively, so that they could eat the fruits from their own trees sooner in the future.
Su Ping and the others followed their wife's request and took notes.
"You must remember this. When we live in our own yard in the future, we must plant trees like this. Even if the yard is not as big as my sister's and cannot accommodate so many varieties, we must still plant crabapple, lilac, and pomegranate trees.
Su's father and mother looked at them and nodded repeatedly with a smile, that's right!
The family moved to Beijing for a better life, and they all hoped that their children would have a better future. So they had to plant flowers and trees with such good meaning.
After deciding what to plant next spring, Zhongguo and Jingguo came to Su Yunyun and Hansen hesitantly and said, "Aunt, uncle, we want to borrow ladies' bicycles to learn how to ride. When we were in the village, we were afraid that we would bump into them and break them if we rode outside, so we didn't dare to ask. Now that we see that our yard is so big, we want to learn in the yard. Is that okay?"
"Are you envious of the fact that so many people in Beijing ride bicycles?" Su Yunyun looked at the children's expressions and knew that what they saw and heard today had made them yearn for it.
"Well, we also saw that some children younger than us can ride bicycles," Su Hao pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers, embarrassed to say what they were thinking, "We also want to learn, but aunt and uncle, we promise to be careful and not damage the bicycles."
Su's mother was worried about the bike. What if it got damaged? Even though she heard Su say that she would be careful, she was still worried. Just as she was about to speak out to stop them, she saw Su Yunyun pointing at the bicycle next to them and said, "The bike is right there, go and push it to learn. It's okay if there are bumps and bruises, as long as you make sure you don't get hurt!"
The children cheered and then jumped up and down to push the bicycles.
"Yunyun, you spoil your child too much!" Su's mother looked at Su Yunyun and said helplessly. Of course, other people in the Su family also had this idea.
"Mom, this bicycle is bought to be ridden. It's not a good idea to always put it aside for worship!" Su Yunyun didn't think it was a big deal. Besides, people in later generations like cars. Bicycles are in every household and are not rare at all. "Besides, maybe everyone will have a bicycle in the future, so we have to learn how to ride it quickly!"
\"What nonsense! How can everyone have such an expensive bicycle?" Mother Su thought that this was Su Yunyun's way of comforting her not to worry about the bicycle bumping around, so she didn't take it seriously. She turned around and found that Su Ping and the others were just standing aside, watching the children exploring the bicycles. "Eldest and second oldest, the children want to ride bicycles, but you don't go and help them. Do you think you are a master just standing here?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ping and the others immediately stepped forward, held the back seat, and gave instructions to help the children learn how to ride bicycles. For a moment, the children's exclamations and excitement rang out, and the whole yard was filled with laughter.
Seeing everyone laughing and making noise in the yard, Su's mother and Li Yue and her two sisters-in-law started to clean up in the kitchen.
Seeing that the kitchen was fully equipped with pots and pans, they sorted and organized the pots and pans they brought from the village and put them in the warehouse, so that they could take them out and use them when they needed to prepare a lot of dishes for the festival. Then they asked Su Kang and Su Tai to help move the food they brought from Dongshan Village to the room next to the kitchen.
Including the salted chicken and salted duck that had been pickled previously, they were also moved here.
Then they saw the large vats that Su Yunyun had mentioned before. Mother Su curiously uncovered them and was stunned. "So many!"
