Chapter 40 Shield

"Our two families are only one village apart, and the people from my hometown always like to gossip and chat. I heard some things about your family, it's not too easy." Su Yu replied with a smile, "Besides... we We have known each other for almost nine years, from high school to college to work. Every time I go to study or go out during the Chinese New Year, I usually pass by the road in front of your house. I know your house’s address and location. Is it normal?”

Li dreamed that from the countryside to the village where Su Yu's home was located, he had to pass the road not far from his house.

After pondering for a while, he didn't think much about it.

"It turns out... you and my sister were classmates in high school!" Li Qinghua heard the key information from Su Yu's words, "You two can't go to high school, right? That's puppy love, sister... No wonder you were determined to apply to Zhezhou University of Finance and Economics. It turned out that you had made an appointment with this brother a long time ago! "

"What are you thinking about?" Li Meng glared at his sister and lectured, "Where did you get all the messy thoughts in your head, and you still have puppy love... Do you know what puppy love is? Don't do it all day long, just do it You know, if you have time to watch some mindless romance dramas at home, read more books, and after a few months of cultivation, you should go back to school.”

After being taught a lesson by her sister, Li Qinghua's head instantly dropped, she curled her lips slightly and ran to the kitchen.

"Your sister is quite interesting." Su Yu said with a smile.

Li Meng glanced at him and said: "At her age, she likes to chase idol dramas. She is curious about things like love and love. I also have a headache."

"You're fourteen or five years old, it's quite normal." Su Yu replied.

"Today...thank you for sending me back." Li Meng saw that the boiling water was boiling and made a cup of tea for Su Yu. "My parents and sister are very enthusiastic people. If they misunderstand you, don't If you mind, I will make it clear to them.”

Su Yu smiled and said, "I'm a grown man and I won't take this kind of thing seriously."

"That's right!" Li Meng smiled, "You won't suffer any loss anyway."

"Actually... you shouldn't persuade me to stay for dinner." Su Yu thought for a while and said, "It's not difficult for you to explain it to your parents, but the neighbors and other people in the village won't listen to your explanation. You also know that the mouths of these people in my hometown will completely change if one thing... spreads."

"You worked so hard to send me back, so I must have basic hospitality skills, right?" Li Meng said, "When you arrive at my door, you won't even get a sip of water, so what have I become, and what have become of my parents? "

"People in my hometown like to gossip and chat, so let them talk..."

"As long as you walk upright and sit upright, why are you afraid of others' criticism?"

"Besides, it's not like I, Li Meng, can't get married, do I need them to worry about me? If word spreads that I have a bad reputation, then I'll be quieter."

"So that every time I go home, someone will rush to my house to introduce me to someone and let me go on a blind date."

"Are you deliberately using me as a shield for your feelings?" Su Yu chuckled.

Li Meng also made a cup of tea for himself, then warmed his hand on the teacup, smiled slyly, and said: "Didn't you bump into this yourself? I didn't let you send me to the door of the house. It was you who said nothing. He drove the car right in front of my house, so that was all I could do.”

"Didn't I see that you were sleeping soundly? Besides, I came from the main road and sent you to your doorstep in just a few steps?" Su Yu said, "If you didn't insist on dragging such a large suitcase, you would have to walk. No matter how hard it is, leaving you on the side of the road will make me look too ruthless, and I am too lazy to care about you. "

"So... I really have to thank you." Li Meng said happily with a hint of sweetness in his heart.

"Speaking of which..." Su Yu paused, "You put a lot of things in your suitcase. Just clothes, cosmetics, etc. It must not be so heavy, and there is no need for such a big box, right?"

Li Meng replied: "I don't have many things, mainly some clothes bought for my parents and sister, and some gifts."

"Oh!" Su Yu responded softly.

Staring at Li Meng's beautiful and bright face, the figure of her sister suddenly flashed across her mind, and she was in a trance for a moment.

Li Meng noticed Su Yu's eyes and asked with some doubts: "Is there something dirty on my face? Why do you look like this?"

"No." Su Yu came back to his senses and said softly, "I just feel that sometimes... you look like my sister."

"Your sister?" Li Meng was stunned, not quite understanding.

"In my opinion, you are the same type of people." Su Yu said. "When it comes to family matters, you always take care of everything and move forward with a heavy load, but you are also extremely stubborn."

"actually……"

Su Yu thought for a while and continued: "If you can put down some of the burdens on your shoulders and think more about your future, maybe work and life will not be so tiring."

"This earth will not stop spinning if you leave it."

"Your parents and sister also have their own lifestyles and life trajectories. You don't need to bear so much for them."

"I didn't want to take on so much." Li Meng said with a smile, "I just tried my best. After all, I am the sister and the eldest daughter in the family. My parents' abilities are limited, so I can only do my best. Then I naturally have to take on some family responsibilities, of course..."

"I won't force myself to do things that I can't do just because there's pressure at home."

“Don’t run away, don’t compare, do everything according to your ability, and be content and happy, that’s enough.”

"Just like now..."

"My parents are healthy and my sister is getting through this difficult time and is happy. I feel good about it."

"Then why are you working so hard at work?" Su Yu wondered.

Li Meng replied: "Work is work, and life is life. If you don't work hard, what's the difference between that and salted fish? Although I don't think about escaping and comparing, but I think I can make more money based on my own abilities. There’s nothing wrong with changing yourself, or your family’s living conditions, right?”

"That's right!" Su Yu nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Li Meng paused and changed the subject, "Give me your bank card number, and I will transfer the ticket money you booked for me to you."

"Forget it, give me another piece after you return to Yuhang." Su Yu said, "Don't I have to book a return ticket? Besides... I believe in the character of Miss Li."

"If you don't want it now, I may not have the money to pay you back after I go back." Li Meng said.

Su Yu chuckled and whispered: "It doesn't matter, I won't refuse to pay the debt with my body..."

"What did you say?"

Li Meng didn't hear it clearly for a moment, but he knew it wasn't a good word. He frowned slightly and was about to argue with Su Yu.

At this time, a slight cough suddenly came from outside.

Su Yu and Li Meng looked at each other and knew that Li's father was probably back, so they didn't delve any further.

"I'm lucky today. I finally caught one." Li's father walked in from outside when it was almost dark, carrying a bucket and a fishing net. "Xiao Meng, go to the kitchen and bring me the kitchen knife and chopping board. I'll Cut up the fish outside the house and cook it in ten minutes.”

Li Meng looked at his happy father, nodded, stood up, and walked into the kitchen.

Su Yu sat alone for a while. Seeing that it was boring to be idle, he got up to help.

Under the busyness of everyone...

Half an hour later, a table of delicious home-cooked dinner was ready.

Immediately afterwards, under the warm invitation and deliberate arrangement of Li's father and Li's mother, Su Yu and Li Meng sat down together, and Li's father also took out the fine wine he had collected.

"Dad, Su Yu is going to drive later, so don't pour him wine." Li Meng saw his father taking out the wine and hurriedly stopped him, "Just let mom have a drink with you."

"Okay!" Seeing his daughter turn her elbow outward, Father Li was not angry, but looked even happier.

He is not blind. Although his daughter has been emphasizing to him and his wife since before the meal that they are just ordinary friends with Su Yu, but since he insisted on keeping the other party for dinner, his daughter has defended his words and actions in every way, which has made him I understand that my daughter still cares about and has a good impression of the young man in front of her.

And this... is the basis for development.

Judging from the brief contact with him, Su Yu, a young man, Li's father thinks is quite good.

"Sister, you also said that Brother Su is not your boyfriend, but your heart has gone to the Pacific Ocean." Li Qinghua muttered, "Dad didn't say that Brother Su must drink."

"There are so many delicious foods that can't shut your mouth?" Li Meng glared at his sister lightly and put a large piece of fish into her bowl. "Eat more and talk less, otherwise I will go to the city tomorrow." I will buy you ten math exercise books here so that you can sit back and think about your mistakes at home.”

Li Qinghua instantly lost his breath when he heard the punishment of "ten math exercise books".

He gouged out Li Meng angrily, lowered his head and ate the fish without saying a word.

"By the way, Xiao Su, is the food to your liking?" Yuan Xiuzhi looked at Su Yu, and when the whole table fell into a brief silence, she said with a smile, "Xiao Meng didn't tell you in advance that you two would come back together, which caused trouble at home. I didn’t prepare any ingredients, so I only had time to make a few home-cooked dishes.”

"It's quite delicious." Su Yu tasted a few mouthfuls and praised, "Auntie's craftsmanship is indeed well-deserved, especially the pickled fish. It's really a masterpiece. Even the star-rated hotels in big cities can't make it like yours." This taste."

"How can it be so exaggerated?"

Yuan Xiuzhi was a little embarrassed by the praise, but she was still extremely happy.

"The pickled fish made by my mother is indeed a masterpiece." Li Meng took over and said, "Normally, my sister and I only enjoy it during the New Year and holidays. You are in for a treat today."

Su Yu chuckled and said, "Then I have taken advantage of Miss Li today."

"What do you mean by honor or not?" Yuan Xiuzhi glared at her daughter and said hurriedly, "Xiao Su, if you think it tastes good, then... come here often and Auntie will cook it for you."

"Thank you, auntie!" Su Yu said thank you with a smile.

"Xiao Su..." Father Li couldn't help but say after drinking some wine, "I heard from Xiao Meng that you two are both high school classmates and college classmates, so you should be very familiar with each other. Now you We both work in Yuhang at the same time, and our units are similar, so I think we should help and take care of each other."

"This girl Xiaomeng has been strong-tempered and stubborn since she was a child."

"She is alone in a place so far away from Yuhang and has no one to rely on. Sometimes she will inevitably suffer some losses..."

"Dad, I can take care of myself on my own." Li Meng cut off his father's words and said, "Su Yu and I... are really just ordinary friends, so don't worry about it."

"How can this be called worrying?" Li's father muttered.

"Don't worry, uncle." Su Yu responded with a smile while Li's father was mumbling, "When we are traveling outside, fellow villagers will help each other a little. What's more, Li Meng and I have been classmates for so many years."

"That's good, that's good!" Li's father laughed.

Li Meng saw the gratified smiles on his father and mother's faces. He hesitated for a moment and swallowed back the words he wanted to explain.

Then, everyone chatted for a while.

It was about 8:40 in the evening when Su Yu finished his meal at Li's house and returned to his own home.

"Dad, Mom..." Su Yu looked at the two people who came out of the door and called with a smile.

"Why did you come back so late?" Su's mother complained, and then asked with concern, "Have you eaten? There are still many dishes in the kitchen. I'll go and heat them up for you."

Su Yu looked at his mother and smiled and replied, "No, Mom, I've eaten."

"Xiao Yu, your car... is borrowed from someone else, right?" Su's father did not complain about his son coming back late, but just glanced at the big white car that Su Yu parked not far away, frowned slightly and said, "You're back, our family doesn't want to lose face. If you borrow and pay it back, you'll owe a favor."

"I bought it, not borrowed it." Su Yu said, "Dad, Mom, come in first, and I'll tell you in detail about my life in Yuhang after you come in."

Su's father was very surprised to hear that his son bought the car, and before he could say anything.

He was pushed into the house by Su Yu.

When he got into the house, seeing his parents' surprised and puzzled eyes, Su Yu roughly explained his money-making business to the two elders in a relatively reasonable way.

"More than 2 million..."

The two elders heard that their son had made so much money from the stock market, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time: "This is money that many people can't make in their lifetime, Xiaoyu, you didn't lie to us, did you?"

"Dad, Mom, when has your son ever lied to you?" Su Yu responded with a smile.

Su's father and mother thought about it, and they all knew that their son was a down-to-earth person. Besides...the son said that this was accidental income, just like a person with good luck and winning the lottery, so they believed it.

PS: The emotional drama was almost criticized to the point of autism. I rewrote it again. I don't know if it will be better. There won't be many daily plots in this book, but there are some necessary daily plots that can't be avoided. I will try to simplify it as much as possible, and I will do my best to write it well and make the rhythm faster. I will listen to good opinions on chapter reviews, paragraph reviews, and book reviews, and I will try to avoid major poisonous points. Of course...if there are readers who really feel poisonous, feel that it is poorly written, and can't read it, then please quietly delete the bookshelf and abandon the book. There is no need to keep criticizing. In this way, it can only be said that my level is limited and I can't write the plot you want to see.
