Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Showing Off to the Wrong Person
As soon as several people entered the main hall, Su Wanyu casually mentioned, “You all see how this piece of calligraphy is written? This was written for Mianmian by a comrade from the Capital City. He has high hopes for Mianmian and especially wrote this to inspire her to study hard.”
“Oh, really? A comrade from the Capital City wrote this? Then we must take a good look,” Auntie Wang remarked, genuinely interested as she looked at the hanging scroll in the hall.
Although the others didn’t understand either, they also looked up, very supportive.
“Hmm, this is written quite well, but what does it say?” Aunt Li, being older, couldn’t recognize the characters and asked with some confusion.
“It reads ‘Study for the rise of China,’ which means Mianmian should study hard so that when she grows up, she can serve the country,” Su Wanyu said, straightening her back and introducing it to everyone with pride.
“Good, haha, this writing is really beautiful,” Aunt Li praised supportively.
“Right, it’s beautiful, excellent, deserving of being written by a comrade from the Capital City, truly different from us,” the others agreed as well.
Actually, among these people, there were those who were illiterate and those who could read but didn’t understand calligraphy at all.
This piece of calligraphy, flowing like clouds and water, vigorous and powerful, received dry and insincere praises from them.
Su Wanyu suddenly felt that she had shown off to the wrong crowd and could only helplessly change the topic.
“Sisters, Aunt Li, Aunt Wang, young lady, come, let’s sit over here,” Su Wanyu ushered everyone to the sofa and went to the kitchen to get some seeds and sugar cubes to munch on as they chatted.
As soon as they sat down, Li Lan’s mom eagerly asked, “Xiao Su, did you bring back anything nice from your trip to Haicheng?”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyu, smiling and glancing at Jiang Changhai, said joyfully to everyone, “Sister, you’ve hit the nail on the head. This time in Haicheng, we brought back so many new items. Wait a moment, I’ll go get them and show you.”
“Well, that’s wonderful. We came at the right time,” Aunt Li said, clapping her hands, excitedly. The source of this content ɪs novel·fire·net
They knew that Jiang Changhai and his wife wouldn’t have returned from Haicheng empty-handed.
Wang Li’s Mother, seeing Su Wanyu walking inside, quickly raised her voice and asked, “By the way, Xiao Su, the gold necklace I ordered last month for my mother-in-law, did you bring it back this time?”
“Sister, don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten. We’ve brought everything back,” Su Wanyu replied. Then she brought out several small packages that they had just sorted out in the morning.
She first handed a very exquisite red velvet box to Wang Li’s Mother, saying, “Sister, this is the gold necklace you ordered. Take a look, it even comes with a certificate for pure gold. If there’s any issue, you can always come back to me.”
Wang Li’s Mother, somewhat anxious, opened the small box and, seeing the finely crafted gold necklace, her eyes lit up, “Oh, Xiao Su, this necklace is so beautiful, much prettier than anything we have in our county, and it even comes with a certificate. It’s good to shop with you, I’m most at ease.”
“Sister, I’m glad you like it. If you want to change the style in the future, or switch to other gold jewelry, you can always come to me. We offer a discount for regular customers, 10% cheaper than outside,” Su Wanyu explained in detail.
“That’s wonderful, this necklace was truly a good buy,” Wang Li’s Mother said, instantly even more satisfied upon hearing there were so many benefits.
The other neighbors, hearing this, were also very tempted.
