"Who said I’m not eating?" Watching Xu Nianhua about to take the fruit plate away, Su Jinrong quickly grabbed an orange. He peeled it and each section was plump and sweet, especially tasty.
"Nianhua, I want to eat too."
Su Lie rushed to eat the orange, laughing, "Come April or May, there’ll be plenty of strawberries. Our family has a strawberry field, and when the time comes, Nianhua can bring her classmates to pick strawberries."
"That’s right, the strawberries I brought you last year were picked from the strawberry field." Su Xi quickly chimed in.
Originally, they were supposed to take Xu Nianhua to the strawberry field to pick strawberries last year, but Xu Nianhua was too busy and never found the time even when the strawberries were gone.
"Picking strawberries yourself, no pesticides, clean and delicious, just not very big." Su Xi talked about the fun of picking strawberries, sparking Xu Nianhua’s interest.
"Sure, if there’s a chance, I’d like to take a look; I’ve never seen a strawberry field." Xu Nianhua had never seen a strawberry field, and hearing her words, she couldn’t help but feel a longing. Maybe this year, when the strawberries bear fruit, she could taste them?
Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianji quietly exchanged a glance, both thinking the same thing: the sister stealing has begun!
Don’t be fooled by Su Lie being slightly older than Xu Nianji; when it comes to stealing a sister, he’s unhesitant.
"Nian’an, is the Su Family very wealthy?" Xu Nianji whispered, close to Xu Nian’an’s ear.
Xu Nian’an nodded affirmatively, "In Ningbei, the Su Family’s house is practically like a manor. The Orient Hotel in Ningbei is also well-known. If the wealthy leave the city, their first choice is the Orient Hotel. Do you know how much it costs to have breakfast at the Orient Hotel?"
"How much?" Xu Nianji asked instinctively.
"At least over ten bucks!" Xu Nian’an said through gritted teeth and added, "That’s the cheapest option!"
"It’s highway robbery!"
Xu Nianji’s voice was a bit loud, attracting the attention of everyone in the living room. Smiling, he pulled Xu Nian’an upstairs to talk in his room. Once inside, he urgently asked, "Nian’an, you didn’t get it wrong, did you? Are they eating gold or silver? More than ten bucks for breakfast?"
You know, nowadays, a regular worker earning thirty bucks a month is already doing well; some can earn forty or fifty. Besides, private operators earn even more.
Overall, with more than ten bucks, you can buy a lot, let alone afford breakfast.
A dime can still buy a big meat bun.
Over ten bucks, what the heck are they eating?
"I haven’t tried it." Xu Nian’an shook his head. He had more than ten bucks, but why would he spend so much on breakfast?
Buying two big meat buns and having a cup of soy milk is so much better.
It’s not only filling but requires no waiting.
"But I’ve heard it’s the place for people with status, and the Su Family doesn’t just have the Orient Hotel. I heard earlier that they also have their own jewelry store. Think about it, selling gold and silver jewelry, how could they not be wealthy?" Xu Nian’an just felt immense pressure.
Previously, the Gu Family was considered wealthy; in South City, it was seen as a family with moderate wealth. The Gu Family’s textile factory earns tens of thousands a year, which for ordinary people now seems astronomical.
Xu Nian’an and Xu Nianji thought if they worked hard to earn money, in a few years, catching up wouldn’t be so difficult.
But the Su Family?
The Su Family’s assets are estimated to be hundreds or even thousands of times that of the Gu Family.
Xu Nianji patted Xu Nian’an’s shoulder and said, "Nian’an, don’t worry, we brothers are still young. We will definitely be able to make the Xu Family flourish and support our sister!"
Xu Nian’an: "..."
