It's already the 21st century, and I just found the imperial seal

Although it was still dawn, everyone had already gotten up.

My uncle's house was bustling with activity inside and outside.

The groom will come to pick up the bride in an hour and a half, so everyone should have breakfast and prepare in advance.

Last night, Su Yu slept with his father.

This is how it is when visiting relatives, husband and wife have to sleep separately.

Otherwise, what would it look like to mess around in someone else's home?
Seeing his mother and Qin Wu coming out of the room, Su Yu smiled and handed over a brand new face towel, "Mom, did you sleep well last night?"

Pang Yue'e smiled and said, "Your aunt was afraid that we would be cold, so she prepared three thick quilts for us. We could hardly breathe even when we covered ourselves with them."

"Many of us here don't like to use electric blankets."

Qin Wu explained: "One is because it costs money, and the other is because they are worried about safety."

Su Tao also got up a long time ago, "I'm just afraid of spending money, I can't bear it!"

"It's really unsafe."

Qin Wu also has a clear view of things. "As long as an accident occurs, the country will issue relevant documents for rectification!"

Su Yu's family understands these principles.

In fact, it doesn’t cost much to buy an electric blanket.

The electricity bill for one night doesn’t cost much.

But this is the same as squeezing money out of one's teeth, every penny counts.

Not spending is earning!
This is the thinking of the older generation: you have to endure hardship without any suffering.

Su Yu's family is different.

There are duck down quilts, goose down quilts, and air conditioners and small sun beds at home.

Feeling cold.

As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

Breakfast was steamed buns, porridge, and some leftovers from last night.

When the weather gets cold, the leftover food will not go bad and can be eaten the next day.

This is how rural banquets are, and it was the same when Su Yu was a child.

It’s just that my uncle and aunt were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to get used to the food, so they specially cooked some special dishes for them.

Su Yu didn't know how to be polite and just picked up the bowl and started eating.

In society, if you are embarrassed, you will only suffer losses.

He didn't want to suffer any loss, so he ate with big mouthfuls.

Su Tao followed her cousin throughout the whole process and also had a small stir-fry meal.

Therefore, she was particularly happy.

A fresh stir-fry is sure to taste better than last night’s leftovers.

Sulu and Pang Yue'e were also quite satisfied. How could they have received such treatment when they came before?

Without asking them, we ate last night's leftovers together.

It is better to give birth to a capable son, so that they as parents can also benefit from it.

No matter where you go, you are respected and looked up to.

After breakfast, everyone started to clean up the venue and clear the road.

It is a custom for the bride's family to close the door and ask for a red envelope when the groom comes to pick up the bride, in order to celebrate the occasion.

But when you go out, everything must be smooth and the journey must be easy.

Everyone else was busy, so Su Yu went to check the car first and found no signs of damage.

Then he found a seat and ate melon seeds slowly.

What's his current status?
After his long speech by the fire last night, everyone who heard him was full of admiration for him.

No one thinks that his success is a fluke, but rather that it is the result of real ability as a big boss!

Su Tao has always been by his side, and she refused to go even when her parents asked her to help.

This made the uncle and aunt want to punish her, but in front of so many people, especially the distinguished guest Su Yu, they decided to wait until the matter was over before doing anything else.

But the way they looked at their daughter became more and more unfriendly, and it seemed like a volcano might erupt at any time.

As for the cousin from my uncle's family?
Some are spoiled.

Since they came yesterday, he has been playing games on his phone. He doesn't respond to anyone and doesn't know how to call for help.

Su Yu was too lazy to care about such relatives. Who cares?

Being looked at by her parents was a little frightened, Su Tao couldn't help but said to her cousin again: "Brother, you must take me away, otherwise my parents will beat me to death."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Then go pack your luggage, we will follow you and not come over."

"Brother, sister-in-law."

After getting a positive answer, Su Tao nodded excitedly, "Then I'll go pack my luggage."

After she left, Su Yu looked at his parents and said, "This girl is not favored at home. I will take her to Furong City and teach her well. She will have a good future in the future!"

Sulu and Pang Yue'e had no objection, "You make your own decision."

Although they are both father and mother, their son is capable and has good ideas, so naturally they follow his arrangements in everything.

When Su Tao came down with a red schoolbag on her back, Su Yu did not ask why she only had this little luggage in such a cold winter.
He just smiled and helped carry the schoolbag into the car.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Tao said again: "I still have to tell my parents when I go to Furong City."

Understanding what the other party meant, Su Yu smiled and said, "I'll go with you."

With her cousin helping to speak up for her, Su Tao's uneasy heart instantly settled down.

Finding his uncle and aunt who were busy, Su Yu took the initiative to say: "Uncle and aunt, I think Xiao Tao is very spiritual and smart. I want to take her to Furong City to train her!"

"what?"

The uncle was a little surprised, "I thought you were joking yesterday?"

"How can you joke about something like this?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Xiao Tao is so smart and cute, it's a pity to send her to study beauty and hairdressing."

"When you go to Furong City, you can work in my company first, hone your skills, and learn some skills. Then you can be independent and make a name for yourself in the future."

"Why would a girl want to stand out?"

The old lady was a little unhappy, "Don't you have to get married and raise children in the future?"

With her cousin's support, Su Tao glared, "I don't want to get married and work hard all my life like a slave!"

Staring at her daughter, the old lady said angrily, "You are a girl, why don't you get married?"

"I will follow my brother from now on."

Su Tao said: "I will do whatever he tells me to do."

"It's a new society now. For girls, getting married is not the only way out."

Su Yu smiled and said, “In big cities, many girls are self-reliant and better than men.”

"Your brother is speaking for you today, I don't want to say more to you."

The old lady was still a little unhappy and glared at her daughter again, "Just wait and see how I deal with you later!"

Su Tao is not afraid, "I won't come back after I leave!"

"It's best not to come back."

The old lady also said angrily: "It's better not to come back for the rest of your life."

The uncle couldn't stand it any longer, "Today is the fourth son's wedding day, why are you two arguing?"

"Once Xiaotao is settled with me, you can come and see her."

Su Yu also advised, "When she has holidays during the holidays, she can come back to see you."

"I'll let Laowu go out with you. I'm relieved."

The uncle took over the conversation and said with a smile: "If she is naughty, you should beat her and scold her. Don't indulge her or spoil her just because she is your sister!"

The old lady fanned the flames, "Beat her hard, I won't say anything even if you beat her to death!"

Su Tao felt a little depressed and turned away.

Su Yu smiled and said, "I think she is a very obedient girl. I will take good care of her when the time comes."

After a few simple words, uncle and aunt went back to their work.

"Your parents just sold you to me."

Su Yu came to his cousin and said with a smile, "Be good and obedient in the future, okay?"

Rubbing her sore nose, Su Tao asked pitifully in a low voice: "Brother, will you beat me in the future?"

"Why should I hit you?"

Su Yu asked with a smile: "Is it that I can't communicate with you, or are you rebellious to the point of lawlessness?"

Su Tao suddenly laughed, "I knew you wouldn't hit me." "Although I won't hit you."

Su Yu buried a nail in advance, "But if you are naughty and disobedient at my place, I will send you back."

Su Tao pouted, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you."

In her heart, her cousin is upright and omnipotent.

What he said is the imperial decree!

"Brother, I want to go to Furong City with you."

Looking up, Su Tao said again: "I also want to tell my good friend."

Su Yu asked curiously: "Why don't you tell your sister and brother?"

Su Tao thought for a moment and said, "I'll go tell my fourth sister later."

She is a nobody at home, and her fourth sister is almost the same.

Therefore, the relationship between the two sisters is relatively better.

Su Yu also understood a little.

My family is poor and I have many brothers and sisters.

So, if she wants to live healthily, her other brothers and sisters are actually her competitors.

It's like a nest of baby birds, the parents work hard to bring food to feed their children.

If you don't open your mouth wide and fight hard, you will just starve to death.

Other brothers and sisters don’t care whether you are hungry or dead?

Because they also want to live!

Living in this mountain, when I open my eyes every day, there is endless grass for pigs and cows to cut!

They don't have time to care about these things.

I earned some money from working and my family finally bought some meat, but there were too many brothers and sisters and it was not enough to eat.

It is common for the big to bully the small.

Not to mention, my parents favor boys over girls and leave all the good things to my youngest brother.

Su Tao, the fifth child, must be in an awkward position, right?
The four sisters above her made her feel suffocated.

There is also a younger brother below, who is also the group’s favorite!

This is also why many families have many brothers and sisters, but are unwilling to be filial to their parents.

Because there are so many children, it is difficult to treat them all equally.

If the water is not distributed evenly, it will leave a shadow and trauma on the young mind.

Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.

Su Yu had never experienced any of this, so he would not think of persuading Su Tao to be kind and let go of past grudges and pain.

He would only teach her to be down-to-earth and have a clear conscience.

Su Tao’s good friend is a girl who is about the same age as her. She is not as pretty as her and has dark skin.

When she heard that Su Tao was going to Furong City with her cousin, a gleam of desire also flashed in her eyes.

But he soon felt disappointed again, hugged Su Tao, talked softly, and kept wiping away tears.

Only two equally lonely hearts can become good friends.

But Su Yu is not a savior and will not take anyone away again.

After a while, Su Tao came over reluctantly, a little embarrassed, but with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Brother, can you take Liu Hong with you?"

"cannot!"

Su Yu directly rejected the request.

"elder brother--"

Su Tao wanted to explain, "She is also..."

"I know that you and she are both suffering."

Su Yu interrupted directly, "I am trapped here and want to leave, but I am both eager and afraid of the outside world."

Holding her fingers tightly, Su Tao nodded desperately.

Cousin, you really understand her!
"Today is December 2nd."

Su Yu deliberately took out his phone and checked the time. "There are still seventy days until the Chinese New Year."

"If you can complete the work I assign to you within these seventy days."

"When you come back for the New Year, you can take her out with you!"

"Leave here, see the real world outside, and integrate into this world!"

Understanding what her cousin meant, Su Tao said gratefully, "Brother, thank you!"

"You now have more than just your own mission."

Su Yu smiled and said, "And there is also a mission to rescue your best friend!"

Su Tao nodded vigorously, "I will definitely stick to it and take Xiaohong out with me."

Returning to her good friend again and looking at his hopeful eyes, Su Tao hardened her heart and slowly told him the conversation she had just had with her cousin.

Hope seemed to be shattered, but it also seemed not to be.

Liu Hong instinctively looked towards Su Yu with red eyes.

She knew that he was a very powerful man, and everyone was in awe and admired him.

Now, he wants to take his good friend to the big city to change his good friend's destiny.

But when will her fate change?
The good sister looked at her cousin with red eyes. Su Tao thought that he was depressed and comforted him quickly: "Don't look at my brother, he is a man, he keeps his word!"

Liu Hong nodded, "Then wait for me."

Su Tao asked curiously: "Why are you waiting for me?"

Liu Hong ran towards home, "Don't ask, just wait for me."

But she didn't wait for Liu Hong to come, but waited for the wedding procession to come.

Accompanied by a series of festive firecrackers, Su Tao stood next to her cousin again, "I wanted to talk to my fourth sister, but now I can't."

Su Yu rolled his eyes. "It's so convenient in today's society. You can say whatever you want by making a phone call."

The next second, he turned to look at his cousin, "You don't even have a cell phone, do you?"

Su Tao was a little ashamed, "I have a mobile phone that my fourth sister discarded, but the screen is a little broken."

Su Yu smiled and said, "The screen is a little broken, but it won't affect phone calls."

Su Tao bit her lip lightly, blushed and whispered, "No phone credit!"

"Forehead--"

Su Yu was a little speechless. "When we get to Furong City, I'll buy you a new phone and get you a SIM card!"

After a pause, Su Yu asked with some concern: "You should have your ID card, right?"

This time Su Tao nodded, "Yes!"

Su Yu asked again: "Did you bring it?"

Su Tao took it out from his trouser pocket and said, "I brought it."

Nodding, Su Yu did not get involved in the bride-picking matter.

The main reason is that he doesn't like to join in the fun.

Another thing is, he didn’t know those people who were blocking the door to join in the fun.

Also, what is his current status?
If you go to the door to ask for red envelopes when you are in your teens or twenties, that's not bad.

The groom led the best men and overcame all obstacles along the way, finally reaching the bride's boudoir upstairs.

Here, Liu Hong finally returned.

She waved cautiously to her good friend, "Su Tao!"

Su Tao trotted over and complained, "Why did you take so long?"

Liu Hong handed over a small red handkerchief in her hand, "Su Tao, this is the three hundred yuan I saved from picking up bottles over the years. You will need money when you arrive in Furong City."

Su Tao was a little surprised, "Didn't we use the money from picking up bottles to buy popsicles?"

Liu Hong shook her head. "I didn't buy it. The money is all here."

Su Tao's eyes suddenly soured, "I said that every time I went to buy popsicles, you said your mother asked you to go back!"

"do not talk."

Liu Hong's eyes were also red, "Take this money, Furong City is not like our countryside, I will wait for you to come back and pick me up to go out together during the New Year!"
