Chapter 348 Reading is a very useful thing
After Su Niannian, Zhao Tian, and Gu Ningning got out of the car, Zhao Tian and Gu Ningning both felt that Beijing was indeed a very prosperous place.
It's much more prosperous than their county town.
Su Niannian checked the time; it was almost noon.
It took the car almost two hours to drive here from the military compound.
It really isn't close.
"How about we take Ningning to get something to eat first? Then we can go to the department store, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat to take home," Su Niannian asked Zhao Tian.
Zhao Tian wasn't familiar with the place either, but thinking that Su Niannian couldn't go hungry, she decided to listen to Su Niannian's wishes.
Su Niannian looked around and soon discovered a state-run restaurant across the street.
This is near the bus station; there should be a few state-run restaurants here.
After seeing a house, Su Niannian led Zhao Tian and Gu Ningning inside.
Once inside, Su Niannian asked Gu Ningning what she wanted to eat.
Gu Ningning stood by the counter, thought for a moment, and still wanted to eat beef noodles.
Su Niannian asked Zhao Tian what she wanted to eat, and Zhao Tian glanced at the prices and said that a bowl of vegetarian noodles would be fine for her.
Su Niannian smiled and went to order food.
Zhao Tian came over to pay the bill, but Su Niannian refused.
But Zhao Tian insisted on paying, so Su Niannian could only smile and refuse again.
“We’re all family, it doesn’t matter who gives the money,” Su Niannian said.
"You've already said we're family, so what's wrong with me, as your sister-in-law, buying you a bowl of noodles?"
Unable to refuse Zhao Tian, Zhao Tian paid the money and the ticket.
Su Niannian ordered three bowls of beef noodles, one for two adults and one for one child.
Without Gu Nan here, Su Niannian felt she definitely wouldn't be able to finish a large bowl of beef noodles.
While waiting for the noodles, Zhao Tian sat next to Su Niannian.
"Zhendong told me about the money he borrowed from you for the bride price. I think I still have some money on hand, so I'll pay you back some of it when I get back," Zhao Tian said to Su Niannian in a low voice.
Su Niannian smiled and said, "No need for now. Keep the money in your hands in case you need it. Don't worry about the debt."
Although Zhao Tian heard Su Niannian say that, she still felt that the money was not a small amount. Zhao Tian was worried that Su Niannian would not have enough money to spend, so she still wanted to return some of it to Su Niannian first.
Until Su Niannian said that she already had ideas on how to make money, that she was pregnant and needed Zhao Tian's help, and that she would let Zhao Tian make money in the future.
Zhao Tian didn't know what Su Niannian's method was, but she felt that Su Niannian seemed very capable.
Having just arrived in Beijing, and with the current economic climate, what ways are there to make money?
Although Zhao Tian didn't know what method Su Niannian wanted to use to make money, she still trusted Su Niannian a lot.
"If there's anything you can do for me, just tell me. It doesn't matter if you give me money or not," Zhao Tian said with a smile to Su Niannian.
It's clear that Zhao Tian is very serious and not just putting on a show.
Su Niannian certainly wouldn't let Zhao Tian help her for nothing; it was already very kind of her to have such a kind intention.
Su Niannian is determined to become the richest person in the area. What difference does it make who she brings along? Of course, she wants to make her closest relatives rich too.
While they were chatting, three bowls of beef noodles were ready.
Zhao Tian and Su Niannian went over to serve the noodles.
Although Zhao Tian thought the beef noodles were a bit expensive, Su Niannian had already ordered them, so she didn't have anything to say.
"Eat more of this meat." After sitting down, Zhao Tian didn't start eating right away. Instead, she picked out two large pieces of beef from her bowl and put them into Su Niannian's bowl.
"I can't eat anymore, you eat more." Su Niannian put the beef back on Zhao Tian's plate.
Zhao Tian looked at the beef in the bowl, then at Su Niannian, and felt that Su Niannian was really good to her.
She had only just married into the Gu family, yet she was being treated so well.
In this day and age, having a husband's family like this is truly a very lucky thing.
Gu Ningning enjoyed the meal, but it didn't seem as delicious as the ones Su Niannian had made before.
During this time, Gu Ningning ate a lot of delicious food, and now she feels that the food in state-run restaurants is just so-so.
However, Gu Ningning did not say these words aloud.
After all, my second sister-in-law is pregnant now, so she can't cook at home all the time.
Moreover, my mother's cooking is also very delicious.
Gu Ningning smiled as she ate her beef noodles.
"Are you that happy?" Su Niannian asked, watching Gu Ningning eat beef noodles with a smile.
"I'm so happy. I feel like I'm living such a comfortable life right now," Gu Ningning said.
Su Niannian couldn't help but smile.
"Your second brother and I are planning to find you a school. I heard there's a school in the family compound," Su Niannian said casually as she slurped her noodles.
Originally, it was thought that Gu Ningning would not like going to school, but to everyone's surprise, Gu Ningning's eyes lit up when she heard Su Niannian's words.
"Really?" Gu Ningning asked Su Niannian excitedly.
This surprised Su Niannian somewhat.
After all... she was worried that Gu Ningning wouldn't want to go to school, but now it seems that Gu Ningning not only doesn't dislike going to school, but also looks forward to it.
“Now that we’re back in Beijing, it’s definitely a good thing if you want to go to school,” Su Niannian said with a smile.
Although we can only go up to high school now, we will be able to take the college entrance exam again next year.
If Gu Ningning is willing to study, she can go directly to university after graduating from high school.
Reading is a useful thing in any era.
"I'm willing to go to school." Gu Ningning put down her chopsticks and said to Su Niannian with a sincere expression.
“Okay! Let’s go to school then!” Su Niannian replied with a smile.
Of course, she hoped that Gu Ningning could go to school. She felt that whether it was a boy or a girl, it was always a good thing to study more.
Gu Ningning cheered, which drew the attention of those around her.
Gu Ningning shyly covered her mouth.
"Eat quickly, and after we finish eating, we'll go to the state-run department store to buy you a new outfit as your birthday present."
Su Niannian thought that she should buy a set for Zhao Tian later.
Not only Zhao Tian, but also Gu Nan, the eldest brother, Yangyang, and Gu's mother.
Su Niannian plans to buy one set for each of them first.
If Su Niannian wasn't worried about not being able to carry that many, she would definitely have bought several sets for herself.
After the three of them finished eating, Su Niannian led Zhao Tian and Gu Ningning straight to a nearby shopping mall.
At that time, the ready-made clothes sold in shopping malls were relatively ordinary and the styles were relatively conservative.
But in the next few years, earth-shattering changes will occur.
Once the economy truly opened up in the 1980s, everything began to develop rapidly.
Soon, Gu Ningning stopped in front of a plain floral dress.
Su Niannian looked at the style and thought it was pretty good, so she paid Gu Ningning with money and fabric coupons.
Gu Ningning hugged the dress to her arms, overjoyed.
