102, A Flower of Educated Youth 5

Excitement flashed across Xu Xiangdong's eyes, and he just paused for a moment before walking straight towards Su Yuanyuan.

Liu Shuying rushed out of the kitchen, first showing surprise, then hurried forward and grabbed his arm, "What's wrong? Who hit you? Huh?"

Xu Xiangdong hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, I'm fine. Today is a good day for my brother and sister-in-law, so let's not talk about it for now. I'll talk to you in the evening when no one is around. Don't worry, it's really okay."

Liu Shuying couldn't be at ease, but seeing that the guests in the yard were looking at this side vaguely, she suppressed her anxiety and complained, "You wild child only know how to run outside, sit down and rest quickly, mom will serve you a bowl of chicken soup, specially reserved for you."

Xu Xiangdong took the opportunity to squeeze in next to Xu Xiaona with a stool, and the people at the same table moved slightly and asked him to make room. Xu Xiaona smiled at him, "Second brother."

"Well, eat more. You look so thin. You should eat more."

"I know, second brother. You should eat more too." Xu Xiaona looked around his face. She was sensible and didn't ask any more questions. She couldn't control her second brother's affairs.

Xu Xiangdong exchanged pleasantries with the people at the same table for a while, toasted a glass of wine, and then naturally turned his eyes to Su Yuanyuan, asking, "Nana, who is this?"

Xu Xiaona introduced happily, "This is Su Yuanyuan from the educated youth point. Sister Yuanyuan, this is my second brother Xu Xiangdong." The little girl explained to Su Yuanyuan in a low voice, "He is very good, not as scary as others say. They are all nonsense. Sister Yuanyuan, don't be afraid."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, full of joy. If she had known that the scholar had turned into Xu Xiangdong, why would she be so anxious? She suddenly felt a little grateful to Ji Lan. If Ji Lan hadn't wanted to get married in advance, she didn't know when Xu Xiangdong would come back.

Xu Xiangdong coughed twice and laughed, "Comrade Su Yuanyuan, it's rare for Nana to like someone so much. You have to come and play with Nana more often in the future."

Xu Xiaona was a little embarrassed, "Second brother, don't say that, it seems very overbearing."

"That's right, you kid doesn't know how to speak, don't scare Yuanyuan." Liu Shuying brought the chicken soup to Xu Xiangdong. She did prepare it for Su Yuanyuan and Xu Xiaona, but there were so many people at this time, it was not easy for her to take it out, so she asked Xu Xiangdong to drink it first.

Xu Xiangdong begged for mercy, "Mom, please go and do it, don't blame me, I just came back. I'm hungry, I'm going to eat."

Liu Shuying patted him on the back and said to everyone with a smile, "The bad boy is ignorant, everyone please bear with me, I will serve you two more dishes."

"Sister-in-law, go and do it, we all watched Dongzi grow up, we are not so outrageous."

"Okay, then eat and drink well!" Liu Shuying said the polite words, looked at Xu Xiangdong twice, and went back to the kitchen with peace of mind.

Seeing this, several women helping in the kitchen asked, "Is Dongzi fine?"

"Fine, fine."

"What happened to his face? Did you ask?"

"Well, he must have fallen. It's okay. He looks thin, but he's actually strong. A few falls won't hurt."

"I heard he gave his brother a radio? Where did he get it from?"

"I didn't ask. Dongzi is smart. He must have found a way to make money outside. Otherwise, how could that thing be so easy to get? It's new."

The women chatted about this and that, and it was very lively. But everyone understood one thing in their hearts. Liu Shuying really doted on her youngest son. She was not so happy when her eldest son got married. As soon as the youngest son came home, she smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed. No wonder people say that the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. The old saying is still true.

The wedding banquet ended in a lively manner. During the period, Xu Xiangdong and Su Yuanyuan did not say a few words except for occasionally looking at each other. After all, it was the 1970s, and if a man and a woman got too close, people would talk about them. Given their newly-acquainted relationship, any more contact would seem frivolous.

After dinner, Su Yuanyuan didn't stay long. She said hello to Liu Shuying and followed the crowd back. Xu Xiangqian originally wanted to drink with Xu Xiangdong and ask him where he had been these days and where he got the radio from. Seeing this, Liu Shuying hurried him to wash up and go back to the room, "You still have the mind to drink on your wedding night, aren't you afraid that your wife will blame you."

Xu Xiangqian blushed, "Mom..."

"Okay, okay, go back to the room quickly. If you don't have anything to do tomorrow, you don't have to get up early. There are not so many rules in our family."

"Oh, I know." Xu Xiangqian walked to the door of the new house, tugged at his clothes a little nervously, and pushed the door open.

Liu Shuying urged Xu Xiaona to take a rest and not to help clean up. Turning around, she saw Xu Xiangdong putting the tables and chairs back together. She was immediately happy: "Oh, the sun is rising from the west? You are still working on your own initiative?"

Xu Xiangdong took the rag from her hand with a smile and wiped the table neatly, "I have been away for too long, haven't I had the chance to be filial to you, old man? I have to show my loyalty quickly, otherwise you will forget about me, your son?"

"Go! If you really want to be filial, find a decent job and don't let me worry about you. You have been away for more than a month, so you are not afraid that your family will be anxious. Okay, we have almost cleaned up. Come with me and tell me what you did outside and what happened to the radio."

Before, the neighbors helped to wash the dishes. Now there was not much work left. Liu Shuying didn't want to tire her youngest son who had just returned home, so she called him back to the house.

Xu Xiaona was in poor health and was already tired. Although she wanted to talk to her second brother more, she really didn't have the energy, so she went back to the house. At this moment, only Liu Shuying and her son were left in the room. Liu Shuying put on a serious face and knocked on the kang with a feather duster, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Xu Xiangdong sat on the chair and crossed his legs, grinning, "Mom, you don't know me yet? I'm just looking for ways to make money outside and meet a few more friends. This time I was lucky enough to make a small fortune. I heard My eldest brother is getting married, so I just wanted to buy something good. If it wasn’t for the radio, I would have come back the day before yesterday.”

"Then how did you fix the injury on your face? Who hit you?" Liu Shuying glared, as if as long as her son named him, she would immediately find someone to settle the score.

Xu Xiangdong waved his hands hurriedly, "Mom, don't worry, I just had a conflict with someone at the train station. Let me tell you, I caught the trafficker. There were five people in their gang, and I caught them all. I just got hit, and they were all bruised and swollen.”

"What? Did you get involved with a criminal?" Liu Shuying's eyes widened and she pointed at him, furious, "Why are you so careless? When will you be able to be honest with me?" I don’t expect you to have any great future, I just want you to be safe and sound. When will you stop letting me worry about you?”

Xu Xiangdong took out a handful of big dough sticks from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand, and said with a smile: "Mom, look at my son earning more than a hundred more. There is also a thank you gift for saving the child here. Here, give it back. I’ll keep it for you, and I’ll keep ten dollars.”

Liu Shuying counted the money and muttered: "Is this a small gift of thanks for saving his child?"

"Oh mom, it seems I have to work harder to make money in the future, otherwise I won't be able to support my mother!"

"Fuck you! You brat knows how to talk!" Liu Shuying slapped him and became happy, "Okay, okay, go back to the house and go to sleep. Don't get up early tomorrow. Have a good rest. By the way. "Your sister-in-law has just come in and we are not familiar with her yet. Don't let her know what you are doing outside. You are not doing it right. If she has other thoughts, it will be troublesome."

"I understand, don't worry, I'll go back to the house and stay at home for a little longer this time."

Xu Xiangdong simply washed up and returned to the room, sighing softly. If he hadn't been a top student in the acting department, he might not have been able to transform from an emperor in his previous life to a second-rate son in this life. However, he found that second-rate people are better than second-rate people. In this era, they can at least live a little more comfortably and easily.

I worked hard all my life in my last life, so it's not bad that I can be so relaxed in this life. Thinking of Liu Shuying who had a motherly heart just now, Xu Xiangdong felt very sorry for her. Because the weapon spirit awakened, this time he knew the plot about him, because his mission was to counterattack.

He turned out to be the smartest child in the family, bold and careful, and often thought about how to make money and help Liu Shuying support the family. He was the one with the most similar temperament to Liu Shuying, so he was especially liked by Liu Shuying. Every time he went out, he could get the money back and give it to Liu Shuying to save. Liu Shuying couldn't control him, so she just saved the money for him to build a house and marry a wife. But in this era, it is not honorable to work secretly to make money, and it is easy to be caught, so Xu Xiangdong uses his ruffianism as a protective color, so that others just think that he is out to fool around.

Xu Xiangqian and Xu Xiaona are both like their fathers in temperament. They are honest, simple, careless, and easily coaxed. Therefore, Xu Xiangdong's matter has been kept hidden from them, and he plans to wait until the policy is relaxed before telling them. It just so happened that Xu Xiangqian was good at farm work and seemed very reliable, so the credit for supporting the Xu family fell on Xu Xiangqian. This is also Liu Shuying's plan for Xu Xiangqian's good reputation. She hopes that the eldest son can live a good life steadily in the future. At least hard work will be rewarded. If the younger son can give it a try, he will definitely live a good life.

Because the eldest son took advantage of the younger son in all aspects, Liu Shuying felt more pain towards Xu Xiangdong. In addition, she felt that she would live with her eldest son in the future, and the younger son would be far away if they were separated. Naturally, she wanted to get closer to the younger son before he was separated. There is also Xu Xiaona, who has been frail since childhood and wants to get married when she grows up. Liu Shuying is even more doting on her. As for Xu Xiaona not being able to work when she marries her husband's family, the younger son said that it would be all on him, and even if he hired someone, he would have to take good care of his sister.

However, such a family that originally loved each other was ruined because of Ji Lan's selfishness. If he hadn't caught the trafficker and wanted to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau's investigation, and would have rushed back to stop Ji Lan from entering at any cost, then the woman was clearly unwilling to tolerate anyone and only cared about her own feelings like she did in her previous life. I hope the boss will be smarter and stop being coaxed by that woman, otherwise my mother will still be sad.
