Super Zoo

Chapter 221: Chatting

Su Ming quickly explained, "I met a homeless man at work. He was homeless and pitiful, so I found him a job at the zoo. He didn't have a home and had nowhere to go during the New Year, so I brought him back."

"You and your father are exactly the same when they were young, you are always nosy!" Su's mother said a little worriedly.

No matter which parent heard that their son took in a homeless man, their first reaction would never be to praise their son for being kind and helpful, but to worry about safety issues.

Only outsiders who have nothing to do with it would praise Su Ming for being kind-hearted.

"Don't worry, that guy is nice, kind and honest, strong, and can be my bodyguard." Su Ming laughed and said, "Just one thing, he didn't have a household registration at the time, so I used my connections to register him, saying he was my distant cousin, Su Meng. If anyone asks in the future, don't let it slip."

"I know, your mother is the most tight-lipped. You are the same, you're already at the door, but you still ask people to wait outside, this is not the way to entertain guests, let them in quickly." Su's mother said.

Su Ming shouted outside, the door of the business car opened, and Su Meng jumped down like a bag seller, carrying two large travel bags in one hand, one on the back, one on the chest, and one on the shoulder, and he entered the house with a lot of bags on his body.

"You kid, you don't even know how to help him carry a few things. How can you treat him like a coolie!" Mother Su was a well-educated woman. She glared at Su Ming, then went up to take Su Meng's bag and said with a smile, "Hurry up, put the things down. This child is really strong!"

Su Meng put the bag aside and smiled at Mother Su, which made Mother Su laugh as well: "What a simple boy, wash your hands and go eat with your brother."

The greasy and meaty food in the mountains suited Su Meng's appetite very well. After a meal, seven or eight small basin-like dishes were all empty, plus half a pot of rice.

After the meal, Mother Su made a pot of tea and turned on the lights in the main room. The three of them sat in the main room and chatted. As a mother, she was always thinking about her son. Her son was working hard outside. Although Mother Su didn't say it usually, she kept asking Su Ming not to miss home on the phone, but her heart was always with Su Ming.

Elderly people hope that their children are safe and sound, and they don't seek wealth and honor. As long as they can live a stable life and be healthy, that's good enough. Young people, however, are unwilling to settle for mediocrity. They have dreams for the future in their hearts, and they will try their best even if they have to risk their youth.

In the past six months, Su Ming has been afraid that his mother will worry, so he didn't tell her much about business matters. He only said that he worked in the zoo and sometimes did some small business. Now that he is face to face with his mother, he can finally tell her everything that happened during this period. Contracting cruise ships, Shuijun Lake, and reservoirs, and setting up a winery in the future. But some key details are hidden, such as Friends of Animals and Zhou Jin.

At first, Su's mother was happy for Su Ming, but as she listened, her eyes suddenly turned red. She touched Su Ming's head and choked up and said, "Son, how much hardship have you endured in the past six months to get to where you are today."

If you are not a biological mother, you will never say such words! The first thing that Su's mother thought of was not her son making a lot of money, bringing honor to the family, but the hardship that Su Ming, a foreigner with no background, had to endure in Yangchuan City.

"Who said that? I didn't suffer. I lived in a honey pot all day long, and I took a bath with honey." Su Ming scratched his head and laughed. He was not kidding. The big blue honey sent by Baihua Valley was piled up like a mountain, so he couldn't use it all and had to give it away as a gift.

Speaking of which, he also brought a bucket of royal jelly to his mother, and asked Su Meng to move the big bucket of royal jelly out, saying, "Mom, you should soak this thing in warm water every morning and evening, and drink a small cup. It will detoxify and beautify your skin over time."

"Spend money indiscriminately again! Why buy so much? So much, I'm afraid it's more than 100 kilograms, how long will I drink it?" Su's mother said, looking at the one-meter-high bucket.

"My son is rich now, so I can give you a drink to live a long life. Besides, this is brewed by my own bees, so it's free." Su Ming said.

"You don't need so much, I'll send some to your uncles and aunts tomorrow."

The 'uncle and aunt' that Su's mother mentioned were not Su Ming's real uncles and aunts. A long time ago, Sun Town was composed of a large family with the same surname. Most of the residents' ancestors had some complicated relatives, and the people in the town were simple and honest. In the past few years when Su Ming was away from home, the family was taken care of by these distant relatives and neighbors.

"Don't worry, mom, I bought a car of gifts, and I will deliver them door to door tomorrow." Su Ming said.

"You can't drink so much, don't waste it. I'll leave a small bottle, and the rest will be left for your future girlfriend. If I hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot that you are so old, and it's time to have a girlfriend."

Su Ming slapped his forehead and knew that as long as he went home, he would definitely talk about this in less than three sentences. He and Nangong Yan's relationship is not settled yet, so he didn't tell his mother.

It's useless to tell her. As a mother, she has endless worries. If I don't tell her, she will urge me to find a girlfriend. If I tell her, she will urge me to settle down as soon as possible. If I settle down, I will worry about getting married in the future. If I get married, I will think about how to take care of my grandchildren...

It's pitiful that parents in the world worry about their children every day they are alive. When they close their eyes, they can stop worrying.

"Your son is now a model worker, a party member, a young entrepreneur, and a leading cadre! Are you still afraid that I can't find a wife? There will definitely be a lot of young girls throwing themselves at me in the future, so don't be dazzled by the choice." Su Ming said with a smile.

"You are such a kid, and you have a lot of young girls! You are the same as your father." Hearing Su Ming say this, Su's mother also laughed.

"Let me tell you something serious. After the New Year, you can go back to Yangchuan City with me. I will buy a house in the city, or live directly in the zoo. I will find you a quiet place, so that you can take care of each other at ordinary times."

Su Ming's most important purpose for coming back this time is to take his mother to live in Yangchuan City. In the past, his career was unstable, there were many unknown factors, and Zhou Jin was always targeting him. Su Ming didn't want to cause trouble for his mother. Now it's time for his mother to follow him to Yangchuan City to enjoy some happiness.

He has even considered that, in the name of setting up a company in the future, he would build a small villa next to the zoo for his mother to live in.

Unexpectedly, Mother Su shook her head without even thinking about it and said, "I won't go. You just stay in the city. I'll stay in the town."

"The town is poor and remote. How can it be as comfortable as living in a big city? Besides, it's so far away, I'm worried about you." Su Ming sat on a small stool and said with a wronged look.

"You kid." Mother Su rubbed Su Ming's head as if to comfort him, and said with a very calm smile: "Don't forget, when I was a child, I lived in a villa in Shanghai. How could I not know the benefits of a big city?"

"Then why don't you go to Yangchuan City with me. Otherwise, it's okay to go to Shanghai." Su Ming thought to himself, let's go all out. When the reservoir makes money next year, I'll buy him a house in Shanghai!

Mother Su laughed and said, "You young people all like bustling cities. When I was young, I was the same. But now that I'm older, I like the peaceful life here. I grow my own vegetables every day and stretch my muscles. The air in the mountains is good, which is much more comfortable than being polluted in big cities."

That being said, Su Ming was always a little worried about his mother being alone in the town. Mother and son are connected by heart. Without Su Ming saying anything, Mother Su said, "As long as you are doing well outside, I will be happy. I have raised you since you were a child. You are not even fifty this year and can take care of yourself. What's more, you give me more than a thousand yuan every month, plus my pension, which is higher than the mayor's income, which is enough."

In a place like Sun Town that is almost isolated from the world, there is really nothing to spend money on. Even if you have money, you have nowhere to spend it. Many local elderly people don't even have income. They can live normally by farming and eating subsistence allowances. Even in the county town, more than a thousand yuan a month is enough for an elderly person to live.

"Oh, I almost forgot, it's not more than a thousand, it will be about 5,000 yuan every month in the future." Su Ming took out another 1.5 million yuan, and bought commercial insurance with the previous 500,000 yuan at an insurance company, so that the monthly interest will be close to 5,000, enough for my mother to live.

People who don't think about the future will have immediate worries. Now, every time he earns money, he will take out a small part of it to buy this commercial insurance. If something happens to him one day, this money will be enough for my mother's second half of her life.

"I brought 100,000 yuan back this time." Su Ming said as he took a small bag from Su Meng and opened it. It was full of red cash.

Seeing so much cash, Su's mother quickly closed the bag and handed it to Su Ming, saying, "How can I use so much money by myself! You are starting a business now, and the economy is tight. Your family can't support you, but at least they can't hold you back. When you go back, take out all the money."

This time, Su Ming refused to give in. Seeing Su Ming's firm attitude, Su's mother gave up and locked the money in a small cabinet, and then said to Su Ming, "Mom doesn't spend much money on life. If you really want to, find a way to help the folks in the town. In the years when your father was away, the folks helped our family a lot. Most of your tuition was raised by the mayor. People should remember where they came from. Now you have a career, and you should give back to your hometown."

"Mom, I know, I will keep this in mind. Don't worry too much, I will find a way." Su Ming nodded.

In fact, with his current financial resources, it is not realistic to want to give back to the entire Sun Town. But he could see that this was his mother's wish, and as a son, he had to do his best to do it, even if it was just to make his mother happy.

It is often said that we should repay our parents' kindness and filial piety. When it comes to action, filial piety means obedience. Even if we suffer a little grievance, as long as we can make our parents feel at ease and happy, it is filial piety.

What my mother said is right. The people in Sun Town are affectionate to their families, and it can even be said that they are kind. If it weren't for the donations from the people in the town, I wouldn't have the money to go to college. My mother, a single woman, can live well in the town. Needless to say, it must be the help of the neighbors around.

But Su Ming has to think about how to repay. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. Just giving money is definitely not enough. First, Su Ming doesn't have that much money now; second, giving money directly sometimes not only fails to help people, but also makes people lazy, which is harmful.

After chatting for a while, Su Ming specifically asked about the family heirloom jade. His mother didn't know much about it, she only knew that it was passed down from generation to generation in his father's family. He took out the night pearl and showed it to his mother, but she didn't find any clues.

In addition, regarding Su Meng, both myself and Zhao Yun felt that he looked familiar. When we asked my mother if she thought Su Meng looked familiar, my mother decisively said that he didn't feel familiar at all.

Soon it was around nine o'clock in the evening. My mother lived in the mountains and usually went to bed early. Seeing that her mother was a little sleepy, Su Ming didn't say anything more and sent her upstairs to the bedroom.

Su's mother knew that Su Ming had lived in the city for a long time and was not used to going to bed early. She specially told him before going to bed: "If you want to go out to play, stay in the town. Don't go out. There are no wild boars in the mountains in the winter." Come out and hurt people.”

"Don't worry, Mom." Su Ming smiled, thinking that if he encountered a wild boar, he might not know who would hurt whom.

PS: I actually saw 48 reminder tickets~~ If I don’t play like this, the average order will soon reach 1500. I have to prepare for a big explosion~~
