During the meal, Hua Xiucheng happened to mention that an old comrade of his had started a trucking company and was currently looking for drivers.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su were moved by this.
Su Xiaotian also felt this was a rare opportunity.
She secretly thought about talking to Hua Xiucheng about it later, to see if her father could get a job with the trucking company.
Su Xiaotian had always wanted the whole family to be reunited, but because her father couldn't come to the capital yet, it hadn't happened.
If this matter could be settled, the family could be happy together in the future.
She just didn't know what her father's thoughts were, whether he would be willing to give up his stable job for a private transportation company.
The transportation brigade in the county town had established positions, a coveted "iron rice bowl."
Only Su Xiaotian knew that although it seemed like an iron rice bowl now, in a few years, it might not escape the fate of voluntary resignation.
Back then, how many people had cried and protested, only to choose to start over?
Rather than starting over in a few years, it was better to start over now.
After the meal, while the elders were still talking, Su Xiaotian found an opportunity to discuss the matter with Hua Xiucheng.
Hua Xiucheng was quite surprised.
"Xiaotian, your father is a formal employee!"
Hua Xiucheng felt it wasn't worth it.
After all, the treatment of a formal employee was different from working for a private company in a personal transportation team!
"What's the point of being a formal employee? His wife and children aren't by his side, he's all alone!" Su Xiaotian scoffed.
Su Xiaotian didn't attach much importance to this established position.
Finding a job for her father was also to give him something to do.
The family didn't necessarily rely on her father to support them financially.
Hua Xiucheng hadn't thought about this issue, but on second thought, wasn't that exactly the case?
He could see that Su Family's Yiming Pavilion, although it hadn't been open for long, was doing extremely well.
As long as the policies didn't change, Yiming Pavilion would continue to do well with its excellent cooking skills.
Since the Su family had managed to establish themselves in the capital, they were unlikely to return to their hometown.
Su Xiaotian's father, alone in his hometown, was indeed no different from being alone.
"Xiaotian, does your father agree?"
However, a formal position was also very attractive, and he was afraid that Xiaotian's father himself would not be willing.
"I'll tell my father. My father dotes on me, so he'll definitely agree."
As the pampered youngest daughter, Su Xiaotian was full of confidence.
"Alright, you ask your father. If he's willing, then come over. I'll tell my comrade!"
Hua Xiucheng readily agreed to the matter.
He was just acting as a matchmaker, needing to find a job for someone and also needing to recruit people, so it wasn't difficult for him.
Su Xiaotian hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
She quickly smiled and thanked him.
"Little girl, are you being polite with me?" Hua Xiucheng couldn't help but rub Su Xiaotian's hair.
This little girl's hair was fine, soft, and smooth.
"I'll write a letter to my father!"
Su Xiaotian took a step back in annoyance, her hair was messed up, how annoying!
Hua Xiucheng, caught off guard by Su Xiaotian's retreat, had to lower his hand, feeling quite regretful.
"Can't you just call him directly?" Hua Xiucheng frowned and asked.
After all, it was a transportation company, they should have a phone, right?
Su Xiaotian also remembered, how could she forget? She could indeed find a public phone to call her father.
"I was being silly. I'll go to the front street later to call my father." Su Xiaotian smiled and patted her head.
"Xiaotian, your family is doing business now, why don't you install a phone?"
Hearing that Su Xiaotian still had to go out to find a phone, Hua Xiucheng was very surprised.
Hua Xiucheng's reminder made Su Xiaotian suddenly realize that it was indeed reasonable.
Their family did need a phone.
If they had a phone installed at home, it would be more convenient to contact other family members.
Moreover, if they installed a phone in the restaurant, they might even be able to take phone orders.
At that time, business might even be better!
"Uncle Hua, thank you for reminding me. How did I not think of that?" Su Xiaotian smiled happily, planning to find someone to install a phone later.
But after saying this, Su Xiaotian remembered that installing a phone in this era was not as simple as wanting to.
Installing a phone was not only expensive, but one also needed connections to find someone to help.
Without help from insiders, just applying for a phone could take forever.
They didn't have many acquaintances in the capital, so where would they find someone to help them apply for a phone?
Well, although Grandpa Dong's word could settle this matter.
But was it worth it to ask Grandpa Dong for help for such a small matter?
She didn't know if Uncle Shen knew anyone...
"I happen to know someone."
Hua Xiucheng looked at the little girl frowning, knowing what she was thinking.
When Su Xiaotian heard Hua Xiucheng say this, she quickly smiled and thanked him.
Hua Xiucheng, apart from being unreliable, was actually quite good.
Hua Xiucheng glanced at Su Xiaotian and said obsequiously.
"Little sister Xiaotian, let's discuss something. Can you call me Big Brother again? After all, I've helped you with such an important matter!"
Su Xiaotian: ...
Is this asking for repayment for favors?
"Xiaotian, look, I even prepared a gift for you. I'll give you this piece of jade, because I truly consider you a sister!"
Hua Xiucheng very eagerly took out a piece of glass-type jade with spring and color, holding it casually in his palm.
Su Xiaotian only glanced at it before worrying that Hua Xiucheng might accidentally break this treasure.
The entire piece of glass-type jade was only the size of a child's palm, but it was radiant, lustrous, and delicate, without a single flaw.
The green and purple colors complemented each other, as if light was flowing on the jade.
Even if Su Xiaotian didn't understand the market, she could tell that such a piece of jade was definitely a rare treasure among rare treasures.
It might not be very valuable at this time, but in a few decades, it would definitely be worth a lot.
Hua Xiucheng was giving away such a treasure, he dared to give it, but she didn't dare to accept it!
Su Xiaotian: ...
Hua Xiucheng didn't wait for Su Xiaotian's reply, so he didn't waste any more time.
This girl, it's just a piece of jade, why is she being so coy?
He unceremoniously stuffed the jade into Su Xiaotian's hand.
Su Xiaotian originally wanted to push it away, but thinking of the value of this piece of jade, she carefully held it in her hand.
"Hua... uh, Big Brother, please take this jade back. It's too precious!"
She also wanted to hand the jade back to Hua Xiucheng, but she was afraid of breaking it.
She firmly believed that Hua Xiucheng absolutely did not know how valuable this piece of jade he casually gave away was.
"I thought the color was very beautiful, so I thought of making it into a pendant for you."
With such a tender color, there was no one else in the family who could wear it, so he thought of giving it to Su Xiaotian, this little girl.
"But, I really can't accept this jade!" Su Xiaotian was almost crying with anxiety. "You want me to call you Big Brother, and I'll call you Big Brother from now on, but you have to take the jade back."
Hua Xiucheng smiled and pinched Su Xiaotian's nose, saying, "Little girl, although I really like you calling me Big Brother, it's not enough to give you a piece of jade for that. Let me tell you secretly, ever since I met you, my luck has been much better than before."
Although she didn't know the reason, Hua Xiucheng still remembered this kindness towards Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian was instantly petrified, not knowing how to answer.
She knew her luck was good, but she didn't think that her luck would improve just because someone was close to her, right?
Wait...
Su Xiaotian suddenly remembered that people who were on good terms with her didn't seem to have bad luck!
There was no need to mention her family, even a few people in Hongxin Brigade who were on good terms with her seemed to have good luck.
Especially Aunt Taohua's family, their fate had completely changed.
Could the Koi attribute be contagious?
Thinking of this possibility, Su Xiaotian was so startled that she stumbled, and the jade in her hand almost fell.
Fortunately, she was quick-handed and grabbed it.
"It's yours if I give it to you, little girl. Don't cry if you break it!" Hua Xiucheng said casually.
Su Xiaotian finally accepted the jade. Hua Xiucheng made it clear that he wouldn't take back the gift he had given.
However, it was not in Su Xiaotian's nature to accept favors for nothing.
She began to think about what kind of return gift she should give Hua Xiucheng.
There was gold at home, but most of it was buried underground in their hometown, and she didn't have time to go back and dig it up now.
There should be some treasures under the newly bought courtyard, but she didn't know what they were or if they were suitable to be given as gifts.
Su Xiaotian currently had no intention of digging up the treasures underground.
After much deliberation, Su Xiaotian decided to help Hua's parents regulate their health.
The elderly couple might be in poor health due to long-term farming in the countryside and not taking good care of themselves.
But she wasn't sure if Hua Xiucheng would object to her helping his parents regulate their health.
After all, she was too young and it was normal not to be trusted.
When Su Xiaotian expressed this intention, Hua Xiucheng was fine with it.
However, Grandpa Su was so frightened his heart skipped a beat when he heard his granddaughter planned to treat people.
This child, how did she become so bold after coming to the capital?
She wasn't like this when she was in the brigade before!
Su Xiaotian didn't know that Grandpa Su was so worried that he was almost unable to stand steadily.
"Big Brother, do you agree?" Su Xiaotian asked with a smile.
"To be honest, I've always felt that my parents' health wasn't very good, but after going to the hospital, they all said there was no problem."
Hua Xiucheng had indeed taken his parents for medical examinations, but those doctors, after a perfunctory examination, would say many things.
But without exception, in the end, they couldn't come up with a clear diagnosis.
Su Xiaotian was the only one who proactively offered to help her parents regulate their health. Although she didn't know why Su Xiaotian had this idea, the fact that she dared to say it must mean she had noticed something.
Hua Xiucheng instinctively felt that he should trust Su Xiaotian.
As for why he trusted Su Xiaotian, he himself didn't know, but subconsciously he felt that Su Xiaotian was a trustworthy person.
"Xiaotian, can you just focus on your studies?" Grandpa Su asked tiredly.
This child, if she continued like this, she would scare him, an old man, to death!
"Grandpa, I know what I'm doing!" Su Xiaotian smiled brightly.
Grandpa Su was speechless.
What sense of proportion could a child have?
The medicine given to Dong Yuanzhong had to be confirmed by several doctors before it could be given to Dong Yuanzhong. Only then could he feel at ease.
But for Hua's parents, no one was there to examine them, so what if they were harmed by the medicine?
After Grandpa Su finished speaking, he even gave Hua Xiucheng a meaningful look.
This kid, why is he also confused? His parents are his, isn't he afraid that Xiaotian will harm them with medicine?
He felt like a fool meeting a blockhead.
Two idiots met!
"It's okay, don't worry. After Xiaotian finishes the prescription, I'll have a doctor review it before giving it to my parents."
Hua Xiucheng guessed that what Su Xiaotian meant by regulating health would probably be tonics, and as long as a doctor reviewed it, there wouldn't be any major problems.
Su Xiaotian took the pulse of Hua's parents at Du Tonghe's home.
Although she was young, Su Xiaotian's serious demeanor while taking pulses was quite professional.
When the two elders heard their son say that Su Xiaotian would help them with their medical condition, they were actually a little skeptical.
But for some reason, looking at Su Xiaotian's focused expression while taking pulses, their hearts stabilized a lot.
It was as if the person in front of them was not a teenage girl, but an experienced old doctor who had practiced for many years.
Well, their son wouldn't harm them. If their son said she was trustworthy, they would trust her.
Du Tonghe and his wife were also watching from the side at this time, and their thoughts were similar to Hua's parents.
They felt as if they didn't even recognize the Su Xiaotian in front of them.
After a long while, Su Xiaotian finally took her hand off Hua's mother's wrist.
"It's alright, just some old ailments accumulated over the years, especially for Grandma Hua. You were injured during your miscarriage, so you need to be properly cared for!"
When Su Xiaotian said this, the elders couldn't help but exchange glances.
After giving birth to Hua Xiucheng, Hua's mother had been pregnant again, but she had miscarried at over four months.
Even Hua Xiucheng didn't know about this.
It seemed that this young girl was not just for show, but had some real skills.
Su Xiaotian carefully picked up her pen and wrote prescriptions for the two of them separately.
The pharmacies in the capital had a complete range of medicinal ingredients, and the medicines she prescribed were all common ones, so Su Xiaotian didn't worry about not being able to get them.
After Su Xiaotian put down her pen, Yu Ruiyuan said with a hint of sourness.
"Xiaotian, why have you never written a prescription for us?"
Su Xiaotian looked at Yu Ruiyuan's sour expression and couldn't help but laugh.
Her godmother was really something, at her age, she was even jealous of taking medicine.
When Hua's father and mother heard that Su Xiaotian had not written prescriptions for the Du family elders, they became uneasy again.
"Godmother, your health is very good right now, you don't need to take medicine. Look, compared to Grandma Hua, don't you look younger?"
Su Xiaotian's words made Yu Ruiyuan seem to recall this issue.
Indeed, speaking of age, she was more than ten years older than Hua's mother, but the two of them looked like she appeared younger.
Hua's mother couldn't help but touch her wrinkled face, and then looked at Yu Ruiyuan's noticeably better complexion, feeling inferior.
Was this the difference between city people and country people?
"In our rural place, we are exposed to the wind and sun!"
"Grandma Hua, speaking of which, it's your body that's not good enough."
