The departure was set for two days later, which was Friday.
Counting the time, there was actually very little left.
Hearing that her granddaughter was going on a business trip, and for such a long time, Grandma Su was very reluctant to part with her.
Instantly displeased by her granddaughter’s departure, Grandma Su shifted her anger.
“You rascal, you can run around as you please, but you have to take your sister with you? How old is your sister? She’s just a young girl, don’t you know that?”
Grandma Su waved the large cooking spoon she was holding with great vigor.
Su Sangong truly suspected that his grandmother might murder her own grandson over this matter.
But, didn’t Grandma forget that Xiao Tian had also been running around quite a bit before? Grandma didn’t seem to be angry then.
Wuwu, granddaughters are treasures, grandsons are weeds!
“Sangong, you must take good care of Xiao Tian.” This was Grandpa Su’s earnest instruction.
Grandpa Su was also reluctant to part with Xiao Tian, but children grow up, and both boys and girls need to venture out into the world.
Generally speaking, the more outstanding a child is, the farther they might go from home!
Even though Grandpa Su was reluctant, he hoped that both his grandson and granddaughter would have a bright future!
“Sangong, won’t Xiao Tian be a hindrance instead of a help?”
This was Liang Xiu’s worried voice.
Liang Xiu naturally wished her daughter could stay by her side forever, but her daughter had grown up and no longer belonged solely to her mother!
Regardless of the tone, all voices clearly conveyed one meaning: Xiao Tian could go with Su Sangong.
The family began to busily help Su Xiao Tian pack her luggage for the trip.
Clothes needed to be packed. It was hotter in the south than in the north, so thinner clothes were needed, Liang Xiu prepared.
Also, Xiao Tian might not be used to the southern diet. Should they prepare some fried minced meat and chili sauce for Xiao Tian to take?
And the three days on the train also needed thorough preparation.
Grandma Su prepared!
Grandpa Su looked around, seemingly having nothing to help with.
Never mind, he would just watch!
Oh, it seemed like a grandson was also going out. He wondered if this grandson needed any help.
He’d go and check!
…
Also going out, but with no one paying attention to him, Su Sangong finally confirmed that he was also their biological grandson when he heard Grandpa Su’s caring words.
Grandma Su tried her best to think of everything comprehensively, and only then felt a little at ease.
“Poor family, rich journey. Xiao Tian is going out, should we prepare some money for her?”
Grandma Su, unable to sleep at night, was still discussing this very important issue with Grandpa Su.
Grandpa Su looked at Grandma Su by the moonlight and truly wondered if his old wife had gone foolish.
Did Xiao Tian lack money?
No!
But then he thought again, was his wife giving money?
It seemed not.
What his wife was giving Xiao Tian was a token of her affection.
Su Xiao Tian, whose luggage was almost ready, was also lying in bed, contemplating whether she had forgotten to pack anything.
She would be gone for nearly a month, so she had to pack everything needed for her studies.
Upon her return, she would have to take an exam and would have no time to study.
On Su Xiao Tian’s bedside table was a large backpack, filled with study supplies.
Of course, this was actually placed outside to create a diversion.
The books were heavy, and carrying them in a bag would be tiring.
She had no intention of being a porter, carrying a large stack of books back and forth.
To save trouble, she had placed most of them in the system’s built-in space.
After several upgrades to the system, although the system’s built-in space wasn't very large, it was more than enough to hold these items.
If it weren't for fear of suspicion, Su Xiao Tian would have wanted to put all her luggage in the space.
Meanwhile, Liang Xiu was also discussing with Old Man Su whether to give their daughter some money for her trip.
However, the couple also thought of Su Sangong.
Finally, the couple decided to give each child one hundred yuan, which should be enough.
The next morning, when Su Xiao Tian woke up, she received two surprise red envelopes.
Grandma Su, being generous, gave Su Xiao Tian a red envelope with two hundred yuan, while Liang Xiu gave her one hundred.
Su Xiao Tian didn’t intend to accept them, as she had her own money.
She dared not say anything else, but she was actually a little rich woman now. While others were striving to become ten-thousand-yuan households, she had already become a hundred-thousand-yuan household.
Although most of this money had been invested, her savings were not much.
“Grandma, Mom, I have my own money!” Su Xiao Tian returned the red envelopes to them.
It wasn’t easy for her family to earn money, at least not as easily as she did.
“We know you have money, but no matter how much money you have, you are still our family’s child!” Grandma Su glared at Su Xiao Tian with a playful scolding.
Seeing Grandma Su’s displeasure, Su Xiao Tian quickly accepted the red envelopes.
She had accepted Grandma’s, so she couldn’t refuse her own mother’s.
Su Xiao Tian, holding the two thick red envelopes, smiled.
Su Sangong, looking at his own solitary red envelope, fell into doubt again.
But this doubt vanished in an instant.
He smiled and said to Su Xiao Tian, “Xiao Tian, when we get there, if you need to spend money on food or anything else, just tell your third brother, and I’ll cover it!”
Su Xiao Tian blinked her big eyes at her third brother, was he serious?
This meant that she would receive red envelopes this time and wouldn't have to spend her own money?
Oh yeah!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Sangong picked up several large bags by his side.
Su Xiao Tian, on the other hand, only wore her backpack, with her hands hanging down.
This was simply the state of a young lady and her porter going out!
But at this moment, Grandma Su spoke again.
“Xiao Tian, the bag behind you is filled with books, right? Is it heavy? If it is, give it to your third brother, he’s strong!”
Su Sangong looked at the bags in his hands and suddenly felt a bit depressed.
Was this the difference in treatment between grandsons and granddaughters?
“Xiao Tian, I suspect I was picked up!” Su Sangong whispered to his sister.
“Third brother, that’s possible. When we meet Dad and Mom later, I’ll ask for you!” Su Xiao Tian cheerfully continued to tease Su Sangong.
Joking aside, how could she say such a thing?
If her parents knew she had such thoughts, they would probably break her legs on the spot.
“Xiao Tian, please spare me. Think of me helping you carry your luggage!” Su Sangong quickly begged in a low voice.
Su Xiao Tian smiled.
“Third brother, you’ve worked hard for a while. When Grandpa and Grandma aren’t looking, I’ll carry it myself!”
Su Xiao Tian leaned close to Su Sangong’s ear and whispered.
For Grandpa and Grandma, they surely wanted to see their third brother taking care of her, so she had to fulfill their wishes.
But she couldn’t let her third brother take care of her all the time; she had to do things herself.
Anyway, the restaurant business was very busy, and Grandpa and Grandma didn’t have time to personally see them off at the train station.
Su Sangong quickly shook his head, “No need for that. I’m your brother, how could I not take care of you?”
Complaining didn’t prevent him from doting on his sister!
Although the three large bags were a bit heavy, they weren’t too much for him to carry; he had been training for so many years!
This conversation between the two was overheard by Liang Xiu.
