LIGHTNOVELONLINE 201. Relationship Eases
In the morning, a ray of long-lost sunshine shone on Su Qi’s face through a gap in the curtains.
Su Qi grumbled uncomfortably, then pulled the bunny ear sleeping cap on her head and turned her head to continue sleeping.
Lu Ran beside her watched her daughter’s cute little movements in her sleep with interest, perfectly demonstrating the softness and tenderness of a girl.
Compared to the Su Qi who had some boyish traits when awake, the her in dreamland right now was even cuter.
After gently caressing Su Qi’s bouncy and smooth little cheeks with her fingertips, the satisfied Lu Ran got out of bed to start washing up and preparing breakfast.
Not long after Lu Ran left the bed, Su Qi was woken up by the sound of her mincing dumpling filling.
Hearing the familiar and rhythmic “dang dang” sound, Su Qi for a moment felt like she was back in her high school summer vacation.
The forcibly awakened Su Qi originally wanted to check the time on her phone, but was attracted by a few news headlines pushed by the phone.
You should know that the daily phone news is usually about trending videos of celebrities.
Su Qi didn’t follow celebrities. She preferred two-dimensional characters over celebrities, but today’s content had nothing to do with celebrities at all.
Shanxi suddenly hit by heavy rain, floods occur in many places
On the impact of heavy rainfall caused by Typhoon Haidou
Shocking! Uncovering why Typhoon Haidou came fiercely, turns out to be…
Su Qi thought for a bit and still clicked on the first news among the three.
Although the shocking revelation in the title of the third news gave Su Qi a big shock, based on past experience, it was often all hype at the beginning and fizzled out in the end, so she resolutely rejected it.
In the first news, the first photo that greeted her was a collapsed bridge with only a bare railway track left. Under the bridge was a turbulent river.
It looked like the entire bridge structure had been washed away by the water.
According to the report, the rainfall in some parts of Shanxi last night reached 280mm, with an average rainfall of 180mm. It was the highest in several years.
Scrolling down a few more photos, they were all images of landslides in remote areas. Judging from the location, they were in the suburbs and didn’t cause any casualties.
Su Qi, who had read the story of Da Yu controlling the floods, knew that the areas Da Yu managed at that time were Shanxi and Henan.
When Su Qi was young, she didn’t quite understand why Zhe Province, which had more rainfall than other areas, was completely unscathed and had never heard of any floods over the years.
At that time, she was still wondering how could there be floods in the mainland areas?
Now looking at the photos and explanations, Su Qi understood a bit.
Because Shanxi is located on the Loess Plateau to begin with, the soil is loose and weak in strength. Coupled with the continuous rainfall from the typhoon in recent days, after last night’s heavy rain, the soil simply couldn’t withstand the heavy precipitation, leading to floods and other geological disasters. And because Shanxi is an inland area without a way to drain accumulated water, that’s why such accidents would occur.
Thinking of the floods in Shanxi, Su Qi couldn’t help but worry about her stubborn fifth brother—Su Wujun. As far as Su Qi knew, he was a member of the armed police in Shanxi.
Although floods were mainly the responsibility of firefighters, just thinking of her fifth brother’s personality, he would definitely take the initiative to apply to help. Thinking this way made Su Qi feel a bit uneasy in her heart.
After closing the news page, Su Qi thought of checking if any group friends were affected by the disaster. As soon as she clicked in, Su Qi saw a short video in the group.
In the video, a person was driving their car and said, “When buying the car, I didn’t understand why I had to pay vehicle and vessel tax. Now I understand, am I supposed to drive the car like a boat!”
Right after posting this video, the car miserably stalled!
Soon someone else posted a photo of their beloved car soaked in water.
Group friends all expressed their condolences.
Very quickly, someone else posted a short video of sitting in a big basin and drifting with the current. It really looked like it was in Shanxi, but he seemed very happy.
Su Qi expressed great admiration. A person who could still be so happy even without a home must have a really good mindset!
After looking at a few other group chats, Su Qi found that the people in her groups really came from all over the country. At least there were quite a lot of Shanxi group friends today.
Fortunately, none of the group friends appeared to be injured.
Su Qi felt that this was the most gratifying thing. After all, no amount of family property or money was more valuable than a person’s life.
If she had to choose between wealth and family, although she already had over 2 million, she would still choose the latter without any hesitation.
Putting down her phone, Su Qi had just walked out of the bedroom and was about to wash up.
She heard Lu Ran’s phone call in the kitchen. Because it was on speaker, Su Qi could clearly hear that the person on the other end was Su Lujun.
Because of the “timid as a mouse” debuff, Su Qi felt that just hearing the voice made her instinctively want to retreat.
Only after bumping into the door did she realize that it was just her parents talking on the phone.
But this slight sound was still heard by Lu Ran.
If it were her usual self, she would definitely rush out of the kitchen at once to check if Su Qi had bumped herself.
But today was different. If she went out, the following act couldn’t be performed!
Last night, she called Su Lujun to inquire about Yang Ming’s situation.
Later during casual chat, she found that her husband, who had been stubborn for half his life, actually took the initiative to admit his mistakes and wanted her help to come up with a plan to beg for Su Qi’s forgiveness.
So she thought of putting on an act to bring the two of them closer together!
After all, Su Qi and Su Lujun’s relationship was too stiff now. They couldn’t just never interact with each other for the rest of their lives, right?
So she planned in her mind to wake up first, mince dumpling filling and prepare to wrap dumplings.
She placed a small mirror in the kitchen, so she could confirm through the reflection to the mirror in the living room whether Su Qi had woken up.
As for the phone, it had been connected long ago. Seeing Su Qi sneaking over cautiously like a kitten, Lu Ran found it amusing. She said to the other side of the phone:
“How is the situation with Yang Daming being handled?”
Su Lujun on the phone was a bit excited. After waiting for half an hour, he finally got the signal from Lu Ran.
“Mm, the people hired by Yang Daming have all been arrested.” Su Lujun blabbered on and on. Su Qi in the corner listened very attentively. At first she was still wondering who this Yang Daming was. But slowly she sorted out her thoughts. So it turned out to be Yang Ming’s parent.
Hearing that Yang Daming sent gangsters to kidnap her, Su Qi was honestly a bit scared. She had indeed once seen the arrogant means of those hooligans on the street.
However, when she heard that they had all been caught by Su Lujun, Su Qi patted her little heart. At this moment, she only felt warmth in her heart. Listening to her dad’s vigorous voice saying that the bad guys would be brought to justice, the fear Su Qi felt towards Su Lujun also lessened a lot.
Lu Ran saw through the small mirror’s reflection that her daughter squatting in the corner was no longer as nervous as in the beginning, and felt that her plan was too brilliant.
Hearing that Su Lujun on the other side was starting to repeat himself, and afraid that Su Qi would notice something off, Lu Ran interrupted:
“So when do you plan to apologize to our daughter?”
Hearing this, Su Qi widened her eyes in disbelief. Dad is still planning to apologize to me?
Dad was such a proud person. She had never seen him apologize to anyone since she was young!
Because this news was a bit shocking to her, Su Qi who was crouching by the wall lost her balance and fell on her butt.
Ah!
She subconsciously let out a small sound! Su Qi hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes also opened wide!
Lu Ran saw her daughter’s little expression reflected in the mirror and just felt that action was too cute!
But that “ah” sound was too obvious. Lu Ran felt that if she really pretended not to hear it, it would be a bit too fake.
Just at this moment, Su Lujun on the phone said, “What? Did Old Zhao’s oriole fly over again?”
Hearing Su Lujun say this, Lu Ran felt that a person’s potential was limitless. Her husband was working so hard to beg for their daughter’s forgiveness that even his rusty brain had started thinking!
She opened the window and waved at the nonexistent Old Zhao family’s sparrow outside, saying “Shoo, shoo, shoo, no food!” before closing the window again.
Through that small mirror, she found that her daughter had also breathed a sigh of relief at this time and returned to her previous posture of attentively eavesdropping while crouching in the corner!
It’s just that the white cotton slippers were already all exposed. She could see it clearly herself. What a careless little girl!
However, she also wouldn’t be so foolish as to point it out to her daughter, and instead returned to the previous topic.
“When do you plan to apologize to Little Qi?”
Here it comes, here it comes. Su Qi was a bit nervous.
Little did she know, Su Lujun on the other side of the phone was also very nervous. He lightly coughed and said, “After sending Yang Ming’s father who hurt Little Qi to prison, I will come back to apologize to her.”
“Tsk tsk, as if my Little Qi cares about your apology. In the future, I’ll just dote on Little Qi alone. You just handle Yang Daming’s matter. I’m hanging up, hanging up!” Lu Ran pretended to disdainfully hang up the phone and placed the phone in her apron pocket.
But in fact, the phone wasn’t hung up. Su Lujun was still on the other side, carefully listening with his ear.
Hearing the phone hang up, Su Qi arched her back and slowly crept towards the bathroom. She wanted to use the cold water to sober up her somewhat dizzy head.
5 minutes later, Su Qi, who had tidied up her expression, openly walked to the kitchen and said, “Mom, I’m here to help you wrap dumplings.”
Lu Ran smiled and didn’t expose Su Qi’s little secret.
Although Su Qi couldn’t make filling or roll out the dough, she could wrap dumplings.
After wrapping a dozen or so dumplings, Lu Ran skillfully guided the topic to the point using her peak chatting skills.
She asked, “Little Qi, if your dad truly repents and apologizes to you sincerely, would you forgive him?”
Hearing Lu Ran’s words, Su Qi’s hands wrapping dumplings couldn’t help but slow down. The words her dad said on the phone just now couldn’t help but come to mind. Only after finishing wrapping a dumpling did she belatedly nod and say softly, “Mm!”
Su Lujun on the other side of the phone heard this feeble “mm” and only felt that the whole world had become beautiful.
If Su Qi checked her mission progress at this time, she would find that the progress of “Training Dad!” had already reached 110/120.
