Chapter 253: Not enough time
As the trees on both sides of the road continued to recede, more and more houses stood on the roadside, and people were busying around in bulky thick clothes.
When the Su family saw this scene, they knew they had arrived in the capital!
After a while, Wang Dali stopped the car and shouted to them that they had arrived in the capital, then started the truck again and drove forward.
However, the Su family members sitting in the carriage could not hold back any longer. They got up from their beds and wrapped themselves tightly in clothes. They were not afraid of the biting cold wind blowing on their faces. They walked directly to the edge of the carriage, held the railing and looked out.
The children also rushed over. Xiao Liang, who was not even as tall as the railing, tugged at Su Kang's trouser legs and kept yelling incoherently, "Dad, I want to see it, I want to see it."
Su Kang bent down with a smile and picked up Xiao Liang. "Come, girl, take a look outside. This is the capital city. We are all going to live here from now on!"
The bustle of the capital city was displayed in front of the Su family. Not only were there pedestrians coming and going, dressed neatly and elegantly, the sound of bicycles dinging could be heard everywhere. The roadside shops sold all kinds of things, and there were many people crowded inside to shop. The streets were clean and wide, and the houses were lined up one after another, making the Su family who came from Dongshan Village dazzled.
The department stores, cinemas, Xinhua Bookstores, and supply and marketing cooperatives that flashed by were all much larger and more impressive than those in their county town.
So this is the capital city!
It’s indeed different from their place!
The Su family told each other about their feelings and expressed their excitement.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Su did not express themselves like their children, the blush on their faces and the light in their eyes showed that they were equally excited.
As they continued to admire, the truck moved forward, passed by Beijing Medical University, and soon stopped in front of a yard.
Su Yunyun and Han Sen got out of the car as soon as it stopped. They quickly came to the first car of Su's parents and pointed to the yard behind them. "Dad, Mom, we're here!"
Su's father, mother, and Su Ping were still standing on the truck at this time. They looked in the direction of Su Yunyun's finger and said, "What a huge yard!"
Because the courtyard wall was so high, even though they were standing on the truck and looking inside, they could only see many roofs of houses and an open space in the middle. Although they could not see the rest, it was still shocking to them.
Su Ping and his group got off the car first, and together with Su Kang and his group, they helped Su's father, mother and the children get off the car.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Yunyun took out the key she had prepared for a long time, walked forward to unlock the door, and then pushed the two doors open with force, revealing the screen wall.
Su's father and mother thought they could see what was going on inside the courtyard through the gate, but in the end they only saw the screen wall. "Yunyun, why is there a wall behind this gate?"
Facing their confusion, Su Yunyun smiled and explained, "This is a screen wall, which serves to block the view of outsiders and prevent others from having a clear view of the yard."
"It's indeed a house in the capital, so exquisite." Su's mother was amazed when she heard it.
Su Ping and his friends originally wanted to go inside to take a look, but when they thought about the fact that there was still a lot of luggage on the truck that needed to be moved, they immediately gave up the idea of checking the yard first and turned to move the luggage.
After seeing this, Wang Dali and other drivers also joined the team to move the luggage.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Su's father and mother immediately suggested that they stay outside and watch the luggage being unloaded from the truck.
The children swarmed into the yard, looked around, and made sounds of surprise from time to time.
Because there was snow in the courtyard, Han Sen guided Su Ping and the others to put their luggage in the corridor one by one and sort it out later.
Su Yunyun was talking to the neighbors beside the truck.
"Girl, this house belongs to Professor Du. Looking at your posture, it seems like your whole family is going to move in and live here for a long time."
"Well, this house used to belong to Professor Du, but now we have bought it."
"Bought it? I haven't heard about Professor Du selling the house? What is your relationship with him?"
"I am his student. When the teacher learned that we wanted to buy a house, he sold his house to us."
After hearing Su Yunyun's words, the neighbors around started discussing among themselves.
"Oh my, Professor Du is such a good person, what should we do in the future?"
"Who says it's not true? This house is Professor Du's only thought for his family!"
"But he has given up on this idea. It seems he is deeply broken-hearted!"
"The old age is miserable, is that him?"
"Oh, I can't mention it. I can't mention it. It makes me sad as an old neighbor like you."
Su Yunyun was originally answering them with a smile on her face, because it was the first time she met these people, so naturally she didn't know whether they were sincere or not. She didn't want to say anything, but when she heard them actually attribute the four words "miserable old age" to Mr. Du, she became unhappy.
However, since they were all neighbors that she would be living with for a long time, Su Yunyun endured it and said, "Dear uncles and aunts, don't worry, my teacher won't have a miserable old age, because he will move in soon, and we, the whole family, will be with him!"
Hearing the determination and dissatisfaction in Su Yunyun's words, the neighbors on both sides said awkwardly, "It's good to have someone to accompany you, it's good to have someone to accompany you, only then can life be enjoyable."
Then they all went home in different directions. Some of them were very curious and stood not far away or at their doorsteps, looking at Su Yunyun and whispering to people around them from time to time.
Su Yunyun didn't care about all this. She couldn't wait to settle her family down, and then told her family to hold a godparent ceremony so that all the neighbors could see that her teacher had a long way to go!
After the luggage was moved, Su's father and mother were about to enter the yard when they saw Han Sen coming out of the yard. Together with Su Yunyun, he invited Wang Dali and the drivers to sit in the yard together. It was noon now, so he wanted to treat them to a meal to express his gratitude for their care along the way.
Wang Dali and the drivers felt ashamed after hearing this. If they were to be taken care of, it should be the Su family who took care of them. Not only did they have a share of food, drink and other necessities, but even when they missed the intersection to the county town due to mistake and had to sleep in the wild in the snow and wind, the Su family still allocated some of their limited resources to them, allowing them to spend the night in the snow and wind in a warm and stable manner.
What's more, the Su family had already paid for their ride to the capital and given them valuable gifts such as flour and rice. If Wang Dali accepted the Su family's invitation again, he felt that he was not thick-skinned enough to do such a thing.
"Thank you for your kindness," Wang Dali declined politely, "but we are short of time now and need to leave as soon as possible, so I can't have dinner with you."
