Looking at the online discussions about himself.
And the 'congratulations' messages sent to his phone by many familiar and unfamiliar people.
Su Yi smiled, replying to messages while eating breakfast.
"Yi, I called your eldest uncle last night to ask about the family situation..."
Father Su hesitated, sitting at the dining table, and said to his son,
"Your eldest uncle mentioned again that he wants your cousin to come over from Yuezhou to work with you. Your eldest uncle said that the factory your cousin works at hasn't paid wages for two months."
"Dad, you agreed to eldest uncle?"
Su Yi asked lightly, without looking up.
"Not at all,"
Father Su said.
"This matter still needs to respect your opinion. If you think it's not suitable, then consider that Dad never brought it up."
Su Yi thought about his cousin's character and personality, knowing that his cousin was a down-to-earth, hardworking, and upright person.
Although limited by education and ability, before his rebirth, he had diligently bought a house in Yuzhou with his own hands, leaving behind their small mountain village hometown.
If he wanted to start a business and build a company later, he would definitely need trustworthy people around him to help.
And his cousin, Su Jiahao, was undoubtedly one of the trustworthy people in his heart.
"Eldest uncle used to take good care of our family too,"
Su Yi thought for a moment and said,
"If cousin is willing to come, then there's no problem. I happen to be short-handed right now."
Father Su smiled when his son agreed and replied,
"Okay, I'll call your eldest uncle later to tell him. Oh, and also... your Aunt He's husband is reportedly sick and hospitalized. The doctor said he needs surgery. Your Aunt Xiaohong called me yesterday, wanting to borrow some money from our family..."
The 'Aunt Xiaohong' Father Su mentioned was a distant aunt of his.
The relationship with their family was neither too close nor too distant.
"How much do they want to borrow?"
Su Yi asked.
Father Su said,
"Your Aunt Xiaohong said they want to borrow fifty thousand yuan, but this money... you know your Aunt Xiaohong's family situation, after borrowing it, they definitely won't be able to pay it back in a short time."
"Dad, you can handle this matter as you see fit,"
Su Yi knew that after their family became prosperous, these borrowing matters from their hometown were inevitable, and he said with a smile,
"Didn't I transfer a sum of money to Mom? As long as Mom agrees, I definitely have no objection. And... in the future, for these matters from our hometown, just tell Mom. As long as Mom agrees, I have no objections."
In his childhood memories, his father was definitely biased towards the 'Su family' relatives in both big and small matters.
But his mother, in family matters, whether it was relatives from her maiden 'Li family' or relatives from his father's 'Su family', treated everyone equally, and on many important matters, she was clearer-headed than his father.
Therefore, regarding family matters.
As long as his mother thought there was no problem, he wouldn't ask further.
"Then... alright, I'll discuss it with your mom again,"
Father Su said.
"She's currently downstairs taking a walk with Wan'er."
After speaking, Father Su stood up and went to the balcony to tend to his flowers and plants.
After living here for more than half a month.
Su Yi found that his parents were gradually getting used to it here.
"Dad, when you have time, go get a driver's license,"
Su Yi said.
"Then, I'll buy you a car, so when I'm busy with work, you can take Mom around."
"Great!" Father Su replied with a smile.
Although he had these flowers and plants for company every day, he couldn't tend to them all day long.
Occasionally, when he was idle, he would still feel bored, so his son asking him to get a driver's license was exactly what he wanted.
"Your dad is already this old, why bother getting a driver's license?"
As the two were talking, Mother Su had already returned with Chu Wan and couldn't help but retort.
Su Yi smiled and said,
"Dad is still young, and learning to drive now doesn't depend on age. People in their fifties or sixties can still learn. By the way, Mom... autumn is coming soon, and you and Dad don't have any autumn clothes. Since we have time today, let's go shopping as a family."
"What do you mean we don't have clothes?"
Mother Su said,
"Last time, you bought so many clothes for Dad and me at the mall, and we haven't even had a chance to wear them yet. You and Wan'er go shopping; Dad and I won't go. I'll stay home with Auntie Liu and make some dumplings, then wait for you two to come back."
"Right, right, you go with Wan'er, your mom and I won't go."
Father Su, seeing Mother Su wink at him, also quickly agreed.
"Alright,"
Su Yi thought, he knew his parents' sizes anyway, and whether they went or not didn't affect him buying clothes for them.
"Then Wan'er... let's go!"
"Xiao Yi Ge, wait for me."
Chu Wan was very happy to hear they were going out shopping.
Su Yi was stunned, not knowing what she was going to do?
But he saw her already pulling Auntie Liu's hand and walking into her room.
Then, when Su Yi waited for about ten minutes, and Chu Wan came out of her room again.
Su Yi noticed that she had changed into a pleated skirt and, with Auntie Liu's help, had put on a little light makeup, making her look even more exquisite and beautiful.
"How is it, does it look good?"
Chu Wan asked nervously when no one spoke.
"Miss Chu looks beautiful no matter how she dresses up,"
Auntie Liu looked at Chu Wan with a smile, genuinely praising her.
In her life experience, she felt that Chu Wan was the girl with the best foundation and the most beautiful she had ever seen, but unfortunately... she couldn't see.
Father Su and Mother Su's thoughts at this moment were basically consistent with Auntie Liu's.
In their limited experience, a girl like Chu Wan was a child they found flawless, yet deeply regrettable.
"Even the celebrities on TV are not as beautiful as our Wan'er."
Mother Su also smiled and praised, while turning her gaze to her son, seeming to have something to say but stopping.
Su Yi saw the brilliant smile on Chu Wan's face, and his heart was subtly touched, but he didn't say much, just lightly coughed and naturally took Chu Wan's hand, then walked out.
Chu Wan felt the familiar warmth in her palm, and for a moment, her heart was also filled with warmth.
"Xiao Yi Ge, I've learned a few new songs recently. When you have time, can I sing them for you?"
"Okay!"
"This year's National Day, the TV station has a National Day gala, and Teacher Hao said there's a high probability they'll choose a singing performance from our school. Maybe I'll have a chance to be on TV."
"A singing performance? Then Xiao Yi Ge believes you can definitely do it."
"It would be great if I could be on TV, because everyone is practicing really hard for this show."
"Don't worry, you definitely can."
"And one more thing, last time I heard Teacher Hao crying secretly, and later I found out that Teacher Hao's child has a serious illness. I gave all the pocket money you gave me, Xiao Yi Ge, to Teacher Hao."
"What illness? Is it serious?"
"Teacher Hao didn't say. She doesn't want us to worry. Xiao Yi Ge... why do you say good people in this world have such a hard time?"
"Because that's just how the world is,"
Su Yi said.
"Heaven won't treat you differently just because you're a good person or a bad person."
"Hmm,"
Chu Wan was silent for a moment, then said,
"Not necessarily. Teacher Hao said I was blessed by heaven to meet Xiao Yi Ge."
Deep down, she felt really lucky.
"Am I that good?"
Su Yi smiled.
"Xiao Yi Ge is a very, very good person,"
Chu Wan said,
"and also... a very important person in my heart."
In this world, besides her deceased parents.
In Chu Wan's memory, no one had ever been as good to her as Su Yi, so, very naturally... unknowingly, she had come to rely on Su Yi in her heart.
"What do you want to drink? Coffee or milk tea?"
As the two talked, Su Yi had already parked the car and said with a smile.
Chu Wan answered without hesitation,
"Milk tea."
Saying that, she tightly gripped Su Yi's hand and followed him towards the nearby milk tea shop.
Amidst the vast crowd, even without 'Yuanbao' leading the way, by Su Yi's side, as long as she held his familiar warm hand, she never worried about getting lost.
Because in her dark world, the warmth Su Yi gave her had long been like a huge ray of sunshine, illuminating the path ahead for her, enabling her to experience the prosperity of this city and the myriad things of this world like a normal girl.
"Here, your pearl milk tea,"
Su Yi inserted the straw and handed the milk tea to Chu Wan.
Chu Wan took the milk tea and found it was warm, which surprised her slightly.
Su Yi saw her expression and said with a smile,
"I deliberately got you a warm one. Auntie Liu said you haven't been feeling well these past few days, so try to eat less cold things, otherwise, you'll be uncomfortable when you grow up."
Chu Wan's face reddened at the words 'not feeling well,' but her heart was still sweet.
After buying milk tea, the two entered the mall.
Su Yi walked directly to the 'designer brand section' without any hesitation, bringing Chu Wan along.
With the sales assistant's recommendations, he bought several sets of autumn clothes for Chu Wan, and then selected a few sets for his parents.
After buying clothes, Su Yi checked the time and called his mother.
He said they wouldn't be back for lunch.
Afterward, he took Chu Wan to a pleasant restaurant near the mall.
"Wow, Xiao Yi Ge, there's even someone playing the piano here,"
Chu Wan said, surprised, after sitting down at their table in the restaurant, hearing the piano music.
"Not only someone playing the piano, but also violinists and guitarists,"
Su Yi said with a smile.
Then, when ordering, he casually requested two of Chu Wan's favorite songs.
Immediately, as the piano music changed, Chu Wan heard a familiar melody, and her expression became even more excited, her smile growing brighter.
