MTLNOVEL Chapter 1879: Qingyun News 3
Su Meixiang has a good memory, and Ye Yan also has a great memory. With Lu Erxiong's reminder, he noticed Su Jiaojiao and Su Meixiang and immediately recognized Su Meixiang, who once asked his father for a hundred yuan compensation after Ye Yan and Shen Feng fought. It seems that to this day, Shen Feng's father, Shen Qing, still has to pay a substantial support fee to Su Meixiang, which is why he hasn't remarried.
There's no choice, most of Shen Qing's money has been given to Su Meixiang, and the remaining amount is just enough for the father and son to live on, so naturally, no one wants to marry Shen Qing and become a stepmother, even though Shen Qing's rank is indeed quite high.
Living in Wanglou Brigade doesn't mean they are behind on military and capital information.
Other than Su Junlin, none of Su Junshu's next generation is outstanding, not to mention the younger third generation. Even though Su Junshu's widow, Liu Hongxiu, is quite skillful in socializing, she can't withstand the changes in the situation.
"Ignore them; they can't stir up any waves." Ye Yan tucked a soup dumpling for Fubao, "The juice is hot, be careful when you eat. After we finish, we'll satisfy Erxiong's wish and go to the club. I estimate Aunt Lu will take a long time to come back; some surgeries take a long time, and she probably won't be able to look after us."
Fubao bit into the dumpling skin and blew on it, "Alright, I remember the waiter said there's a reading room in the club. We'll split into two groups, those who want to exercise can go exercise, those who want to read can go read. I'll see if there are any interesting books."
"I want to read!" Dundun and Zhuangzhuang raised their hands in agreement.
Ye Yan looked at Lu Erxiong who appeared somewhat gloomy due to being alone and resigned, said: "Alright, I'll take you guys to the reading room first, then I'll entertain Erxiong."
Lu Erxiong looked a bit happier, finally having someone accompany him, "Good buddy, let's toast!"
He raised his bowl and clanked it with Ye Yan's, amusing everyone immensely. Fubao couldn't help but pinch his cheek, "What can you do besides play? If you don't read well, I'm worried that when you get to the capital you won't keep up with schoolwork, and Mom will regret bringing us to Shanghai to play instead of rushing back to the capital for school."
The school isn't on holiday right now. If they hadn't transferred to the capital, this would count as skipping class, considering they didn't officially take leave.
As soon as studying was mentioned, Lu Erxiong's face fell.
Although his grades have caught up to a medium level, he really doesn't like reading, "Reading makes my head hurt; I don't know what's interesting about those books."
"How can they not be interesting? When chatting with others in the future, if someone mentions a book, at least we won't say we don't know!"
Ye Yan said earnestly: "Erxiong, did you forget what the grandfathers said? If you become a soldier and don't recognize words, you can only be a soldier, but those with more education can potentially become generals and command operations. From high-ranking marshals and generals, how many don't recognize words? If you want to join the army, you need to study well."
The orderly also smiled, "Your brother's right. Although in the past decade everyone's saying that high culture doesn't mean anything and those without culture can revolutionize, those with knowledge get promoted faster and have higher positions."
These words, Lu Erxiong is already very familiar with, but he just isn't interested in books.
Seeing him cover his ears with both hands, Fubao fiercely grabbed a fried dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, "Don't want to study? Then eat up! Really don't know how to teach you!"
Just as Lu Erxiong was about to react, he saw a foreigner walking towards them.
