New Year Back Home

Why did Su Zang say that Su Ziyang's father was particular about him?

Su Ziyang only understood what was going on after hearing his father's explanation.

It turns out that after Su Zang got into this mess, he didn't dare tell his family.

He kept telling his family that he was innocent, meaning that since he was riding a non-motorized vehicle, his driver's license shouldn't have been revoked.

His family members, unaware of the situation, also echoed Su Zang's cries for justice.

Su Ziyang's father also found it strange after hearing about this.

It just so happened that Su Ziyang's father knew someone in the traffic police brigade, so he helped him inquire about it.

When that friend heard about the matter that Su Ziyang's father had inquired about, he immediately told Su Ziyang's father what had happened.

Because he was the one who responded to the call that night, and the situation was rather complicated, I remember it quite clearly.

Su Zang had drunk a lot of alcohol and was riding a small electric scooter. He tried to cut off the other person, and Su Zang was knocked down.

This was exactly what Su Zang had told his family.

However, according to Su Ziyang's father's friend, when they arrived, they didn't intend to punish Su Zang, since he was riding an electric bike and had been knocked down.

Police officers were also present at the time. If Su Zang had been quiet then, nothing would have happened.

But Su Zang acted as if he had a grudge against those people, guarding the traffic police and the police officers from the local police station, and hit the man twice more.

They almost got into a fight with the police, but the woman insisted on handling it officially, which led to the series of events that followed.

Therefore, Su Ziyang's father was the first to know the specific cause and effect of this matter.

Originally, Su Zang had asked around about his Second Brother, hoping to find out if he could pay a fine to get the matter settled.

After all, you can't take the exam again for five years, which will cause quite a bit of trouble when you start working.

As a result of this question, the matter was completely ruined, and only after the cause and effect of the matter became clear did Su Zang become angry.

"Ugh, this person is impossible to get along with."

After listening to his father's account of what had happened, Su Ziyang sighed.

"I reckon he won't be able to ask you out anymore. If he does, just say you're busy. You can't reason with someone like that. He's unreasonable!"

Actually, Su Ziyang's father was also quite angry. After all, he had meant well in helping, but Su Zang not only didn't thank him, but also angered him.

The saying goes, "Even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes." As long as one is human, one lives amidst various interpersonal relationships; that's just how reality is.

After this incident, Su Zang indeed never came to see Su Ziyang again.

Days passed by, and the end of the year was fast approaching.

On the 28th, Su Ziyang's family returned to their rural hometown to tidy up the yard and prepare for the New Year.

When people talk about the Chinese New Year, they always emphasize the festive atmosphere.

The smell of firecrackers, the smell of incense, the smell of burning paper money, the aroma of dumplings, and the aroma of the New Year's Eve dinner.

Making and eating dumplings is a traditional custom for people in northern China during the Lunar New Year.

Su Ziyang was rolling out dumpling wrappers when his great-grandmother's granddaughter-in-law, who was also one of Su Ziyang 'Su Ziyang sisters-in-law, ran into the house.

"Auntie, where 'Ziyang?"

Su Ziyang's mother was boiling water in the living room when Su Ziyang's sister-in-law came in and saw Su Ziyang's mother.

"They're rolling out dumpling wrappers inside."

When Su Ziyang's sister-in-law came into the room, she saw Su Ziyang sitting on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), rapidly rolling out dumpling wrappers. He had rolled out about ten in no time.

"Wow, you're really good with your hands! You can roll out dumpling wrappers faster than I can!"

The younger sister-in-law looked at Su Ziyang for a while, then exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha, not bad!" Su Ziyang said with a smile, but he didn't look up and just continued working.

After Su Ziyang's mother entered the house, the younger sister-in-law revealed the reason for her visit.

"Auntie, my Tiantian is sick. Could you ask Ziyang to go and take a look at her?"

The younger sister-in-law was too embarrassed to speak to Su Ziyang directly, so she spoke to Su Ziyang's mother instead.

"Go ahead. Ziyang, stop rolling it out. Go with your sister-in-law and see what's wrong."

Su Ziyang's mother nudged Su Ziyang, and Su Ziyang stood up, patting the noodles on his hands. "Okay, I'll wash my hands, sister-in-law."

After washing his hands, Su Ziyang followed his sister-in-law home.

"Hey, brother." Su Ziyang watched as Su Chen paced back and forth, carrying his girl, who was sobbing in his arms.

"Ziyang's here, holy crap. I can't take it anymore, you have to take a look, please! I was about to go to the hospital! I can't stand it."

Su Chen handed the child to Su Ziyang. Su Chen's daughter was a little over a year old. Su Ziyang took the child and looked at her hair, and immediately knew what had happened. "She's been frightened!"

When a child is frightened, their hair will become frizzy and look fluffy and dull.

"Su Chen, it's all because of you. I told you not to go out gambling in the middle of the night, and you came back from gambling last night. Your daughter started crying. If you go out gambling again tonight, I'm taking Tiantian back to her parents' house! You can spend the New Year by yourself!"

When the younger sister-in-law heard that her daughter was frightened, she immediately became anxious. As she shouted and got angry, the bond between mother and child made Tiantian cry even louder.

"Okay, okay! Don't shout. Don't shout! You'll scare the child again!"

When Su Ziyang heard his sister-in-law shout, he quickly stopped her. After Su Ziyang said that, his sister-in-law listened, pouted, and stood aside without saying a word.

Su Ziyang didn't really like talking to this younger sister-in-law. His mother told him that she wasn't very filial and often fought with her mother-in-law, smashing things whenever they argued.

But Tiantian is, after all, my little niece, and I can't just ignore her.

"Sister-in-law, find your gold ring and give the child some warm water to drink. It'll be fine!"

Su Ziyang patted Tiantian and hugged her. Whether it was because Su Ziyang had that "superior" air about him as a doctor or something else, Tiantian calmed down a lot after Su Ziyang took her in his Tiantian.

"I don't have a gold ring, and I don't even have gold earrings! I married a poor bastard like your brother, and we have nothing. I even forced him to buy this apartment in the last two years!"

The younger sister-in-law was quick to anger, and Su Ziyang immediately bristled at the mention of the gold ring.

Her shout startled Tiantian, and she started crying again.

"What the hell are you yelling about! Look how scared you've made the girl. What's wrong with you? It's just that I didn't buy you the three gold pieces for the wedding! What are you yelling about? Ziyang is right here!"

Su Ziyang watched the couple arguing, his head spinning. "Brother, brother! Sister-in-law! Stop! Don't shout. I'll put the gold ring away for Tiantian. She doesn't need it anymore!"

"You can even collect things?" Su Ziyang's brother and sister-in-law were intrigued when Su Ziyang mentioned collecting things, so they stopped arguing and looked at Su Ziyang.

Shh! You two, be quiet!

Su Ziyang was speechless watching them argue, so he picked up Tiantian and sat down on the sofa.

"Be good, Tiantian! Be a good girl!"

Su Ziyang gently stroked Tiantian's head and chanted a spell.
