After showing the bottle to the old lady, Susie put the gold-plated Buddha statue and the two pieces of porcelain she bought this time into grandma's camphor wood box.

This box is almost out of place now.

The old lady locked the box, pulled Su Qian to sit down, "You just said that Su Zhenguo went in. Then your father—your Uncle Xu didn't tell you about changing your surname back?"

Susie pondered for a moment, "Say it."

"But I'm not going to change it."

The old lady was startled, "Why?"

"You used to have their surname Su. There was nothing you could do. Now they can't harm you, and they can't control you anymore. Why don't you change the surname back quickly?"

Susie shook her head, "Grandma, I've used this name for too long, I'm used to it."

The old lady looked at Susie. She felt that Susie didn't want to change her surname because she still had resentment towards her parents.

Thinking about it, how could ten years of resentment disappear in a short while?I guess it will take some time.

She patted Su Qian's hand, "Okay, if you don't change it, don't change it. If you don't change it, you are also grandma's granddaughter."

After talking to grandma for a while, Susie went back to the collective household.

When I went back, I saw that the door of the house was locked, and then I saw that the door of the stove house was open.

She went over to the stove house, and saw that the door of Qiao Mu's room was also closed.

When they entered the kitchen, they saw Zhao Tingting chopping up smoked rabbits. Su Qian asked, "Where are Qiao Mu and the others?"

"Go fetching water."

Susie looked at her watch, it was only four o'clock, "Just cooking?"

Zhao Tingting said: "I think you must have not eaten well on the way, and besides, it was hard to travel all the way, so you can rest early if you eat early."

Susie saw that there were bamboo shoots in the basket, so she went to peel them.

Then I went to the back vegetable garden to dig a radish and pull out a bag of cabbage.

There was not much water in the water tank, Susie scooped up some water and was just about to wash the vegetables, when Qiao Mu came in with a bucket.

He poured water into the water tank, and then brought over the basin where Susie washed vegetables, "I'll do the washing."

The weather was cold and the water was freezing cold, he didn't want to freeze Susie.

Susie watched Qiao Mu put his red hands from the cold into the cold water, feeling indescribably distressed.

When she was in the capital, she didn't even think about it. She should have bought a pair of gloves for Qiao Mu.

She didn't compete with Qiao Mu for the job, so she squatted beside him and watched Qiao Mu wash the vegetables.

During the meal, Qiao Mu and Susie sat next to each other, bringing food to her from time to time.

Zhao Tingting was indescribably envious when she saw it from the opposite side, she suddenly glanced to the side secretly, Zhu Zhicheng was concentrating on eating, and didn't look at Su Qian and the others at all.

Zhao Tingting also lowered her head to eat.

After returning to the house after dinner, Zhao Tingting found a letter and handed it to Su Qian, "Your letter has been here for several days, and it's from Haicheng."

From Haicheng?

Su Qian thought to herself that she didn't know anyone in Haicheng either?

She opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and looked at the end first, only then did she suddenly realize that it was a letter from Qin Man.

In the letter, Qin Man thanked Susie, and said that the family planned to send her back home due to medical treatment, and now she was asking people to find a relationship, and she already had some clues.

She also said that the bedding and some daily necessities she left behind are all gone, and if anyone needs it, just use it.

After reading it, Susie sat at the table and replied to the letter. In the letter, she wrote about the recent situation of collective households and re-wrote about Chen Changqing. She felt that Qin Man might be a little bit happy after reading it.

After writing the letter, Susie started to study again, and Zhao Tingting also took a book and sat beside her to read quietly.

In the next few days, I will read books quietly at home, and it will soon be the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

Susie and Zhao Tingting were studying by the fire in the house when someone knocked on the window.

When Su Qian looked up, it was Xu Zhiqiang.

She got up and opened the door, "Uncle, you are back."

Xu Zhiqiang rubbed his hands, "Can I go in and sit down? Yu Xue is not at home, I'm freezing to death." There was a lock on the door next door, and he forgot to bring the key.

Susie let him in, and Zhao Tingting moved a chair and put it next to the charcoal basin.

Xu Zhiqiang put down the bag, sat beside the charcoal basin and warmed himself by the fire, "Do you know where Yu Xue went?"

Susie shook her head.

Zhao Tingting said: "I think she went out after breakfast, and didn't come back for lunch."

Xu Zhiqiang thought for a while, the Chinese New Year was coming, Yu Xue was probably going to the county to buy new year's goods.

Susie turned her head to look at him, "Uncle, why did it take you so long to come home? Huijiang City is not far away."

It's just over an hour by train.

Xu Zhiqiang waved his hand, "The unit is busy at the end of the year, and all kinds of things are piled up. I have just joined the work. After finishing my own work, I have to help my colleagues. I have to work overtime on weekends. How can I have time to come back?"

Susie shook her head, it must be because people saw him as being honest and oppressing newcomers.

But there is no way, this kind of unit is like this, only slowly.

Xu Zhiqiang sat for a while, his body warmed up, he stood up and put on the bag, "Since Yu Xue is not at home, I will go back first, if she comes back, tell her, I will come back later."

He opened the door and went out, just in time to see Yu Xue coming in from the gate of the yard.

Xu Zhiqiang hadn't seen Yu Xue for such a long time, and before leaving, he put all the unhappiness between the two of them behind him, and shouted happily, "Xiaoxue!"

Yu Xueyuan entered the door with a happy expression, and when she saw Xu Zhiqiang pulled her face down suddenly, "You still know how to come back!"

Xu Zhiqiang hurried up to pull her up, "I can't help it, the work is busy, and the holiday is supposed to be tomorrow, so I'm going to leave early."

"And it's only been three days since I've been home, and I have to go to work at work in the third day of junior high school."

Yu Xue shook off his hand, opened the door and entered the room by herself.

Xu Zhiqiang followed in, put down the bag, and reached out to hug Yu Xue.

Yu Xue pushed him away fiercely, "What about your salary? If you don't come back, you don't know how to send your salary back?"

Xu Zhiqiang quickly took it out of his pocket, and then handed the money to Yu Xue.

The money varies, so Yu Xue counted, "It's only 20 yuan? That's all you earn?!"

Xu Zhiqiang quickly explained: "I just joined the work, and the leader still takes care of me. I set 37 for me, and it will not rise to 45 until next year."

"After two months of salary, I have to eat in the canteen every day at work, which costs a lot of money. It's cold, so I bought a pair of cotton shoes, which also cost a little money."

"Besides, I still have to give my mother ten yuan a month, so that's all I have left."

He still has a little money on him, but he still needs to take a car after a few days, and he still needs to eat when he returns to work.

Yu Xue was furious, "You are sick, why did you give your mother money?"

Susie and Zhao Tingting could hear clearly from next door, Susie couldn't help but sneer.

Xu Zhiqiang looked at Yu Xue, "How can I not give my mother money after I work?"

"My mother is earning work points all the time, how will they live if I don't pay?"

Yu Xue looked at Xu Zhiqiang and said angrily, "Didn't your elder brother send money to your mother every month? She is not short of money!"

Xu Zhiqiang frowned, "Brother is a son, and I am also a son. If the elder brother gave it, I should give it more. It's just that my salary is low, so I can't give much."
