Chapter 751: Wait for My Message
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The student who had brought snacks began to speak, mysteriously producing a packet of treats. Upon hearing that they were potato chips, Su Li’s interest waned significantly. His mother had already made these for him at home, and he was surprised that she could even replicate a snack enjoyed by foreigners. His mother was truly remarkable!
However, since the snacks were already offered, it would be rude for Su Li to outright refuse. Thus, he took a piece to taste.
Upon tasting the chip, Su Li found no extraordinary flavor. It was far from the deliciousness of his mother’s homemade chips. With an air of confidence, he declared, “I’ll just have one. But I must say, the taste is just so-so. The chips my mother makes are far better than this. If I get a chance, I’ll bring some for you all to try. But we’ll have to wait until my mother makes them!”
No sooner had Su Li spoken than someone voiced their skepticism. “These are snacks brought back from abroad. Can your mother make them?”
Su Li, confident in his mother’s culinary skills, responded without hesitation, “Of course she can. My mother can make many delicious things that you can’t buy. You’re lucky to be my classmates. When my mother gives me snacks, I’ll share some with you.”
The classmates’ curiosity about Su Li’s mother was piqued. Gao Ming, a classmate, vouched for Su Li, saying, “I know because I often go to Su Li’s house for meals. And Mrs. Gu, Su Li’s mother, also makes delicious food for my grandmother. You haven’t seen her, but I have. Mrs. Gu is very beautiful, more so than your mothers. She looks like a movie star!”
The classmates looked at Su Li with envy, more convinced than ever that Su Li came from an influential family. They were surprised to learn that Su Li lived near Gao Ming’s house. They had heard from their parents that Gao Ming lived in the old district of Jifu New Village. This implied that Su Li’s family also lived there, suggesting that Su Li’s parents must be quite impressive.
The excitement among the classmates grew as they became more interested in learning about Su Li. The classroom was buzzing with activity, the atmosphere lively.
Another student who lived in Jifu New Village, eager to taste the delicious food and see Su Li’s beautiful mother, asked Su Li, “Can I visit your house after school today?”
Once one student had asked, others eagerly followed suit, expressing their desire to visit Su Li’s house. Su Li thought for a moment before responding, “I’ll have to ask my mother. I don’t want her to get too tired. Wait for my message tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, the students found it reasonable and began to look forward to it. As class was about to start, they gradually returned to their seats.
Gao Ming spoke up, “You all need to ask for my opinion too. After all, I’ve already accepted Su Li as my second brother, making me the third child of the Su family. If you want to visit my other home, you’ll have to wait for my invitation. Do you understand?”
Some of the students nodded, while others responded with a smile, “Then we can all consider Su Li as our second brother. By the way, when can we meet the eldest brother? Is he in the fourth grade?”
Su Li was about to answer, but the bell signaling the start of class rang.
The teacher for the first period arrived promptly, and Su Li quickly sat up straight. The other students also regained their serious expressions and began their lesson. However, many of them had planted a seed in their hearts – to acknowledge Su Li as their second brother, to enjoy delicious food and spicy drinks, and to have a beautiful godmother…
After seeing off Su Shen, Gu Zi returned from the train station, unaware that she had become the collective godmother of the children in Su Li’s class. As soon as she arrived home, the landline rang. She picked it up, and it was a call from the town.
The voice of An Yun came through quickly, “Little Zi, the business at home is getting better and better. Your brother has been promoted to a managerial position at Daqing Pig Farm. When we have some free time, we want to come to the city to visit you.”
Gu Zi replied, “If you want to come, just let me know in advance. Su Shen is away on a trip and we don’t know when he’ll be back. If you come, it will liven up the house. We talked about having a housewarming party before, but I guess we’ll have to wait until Su Shen returns for that.”
Gu Zi had originally planned not to mention Su Shen’s trip, because if she did, her mother would definitely worry and ask many questions. But if the Lin family were to come, they would find out anyway, and they would still ask what they wanted to ask. She might as well tell them now over the phone.
As Gu Zi had expected, An Yun became somewhat worried upon hearing that her son-in-law was away. While a man could earn money outside, it wasn’t a good thing if his heart went astray. “Did he say when he would be back? He can’t be away for too long. After all, he has a family. He can’t be gone for a long time, can he?”
