At seven o'clock in the evening, the lights are brightly lit along the Qingyang River.
Yuejiang Tower, located on the left bank of the river, is even more lively.
As a traditional restaurant with decades of history in Linjiang City, Yuejiang Restaurant's status is almost the same as that of the emerging Linjiang Hotel, but it has a bit more local flavor.
As soon as Su Tie arrived, he saw his mother pushing his father in a wheelchair and waiting anxiously outside the door.
"Why are you here? Your grandparents have already arrived. Also, why are you not wearing the suit I bought for you? Later, your brothers and sisters..." Li Guilan looked at Su Tie and said with some displeasure.
She knew very well that those relatives were snobbish and would definitely sneer at Su Tie if they saw him wearing rags, so she told Su Tie to dress better.
Before Su Tie could speak, Su Zhongliang snorted and said in a deep voice: "It's just a family dinner. There's no need to dress so formally. I think it's fine."
After saying that, he quickly looked at Su Tie and said with a smile: "Son, I feel that my legs are getting stronger and stronger. This afternoon, I even walked a few steps while holding on to the wall."
"That's right." Su Tie's eyes lit up.
His father recovered so quickly, which was really something he didn't expect. According to this progress, he might be able to basically return to normal in a week.
"Okay, go in quickly. It's time for your eldest and second uncle to talk to them later." At this time, Li Guilan sighed and said with a sad face.
Hearing this, Su Tie quickly responded and took the initiative to push his father towards the restaurant.
After entering the door, the Su Tie family was taken directly to a private room on the second floor by the waiter. At this time, the relatives had basically arrived and were chatting together.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, second uncle, eldest aunt, second aunt..." Su Tie quickly stepped forward and greeted several elders.
Seeing Su Tie's family come in, everyone's expressions turned playful, especially Su Tie's eldest and second uncle, who looked even more disdainful.
"Every time, your family is the last one to arrive. You don't spend a penny, and you are quite arrogant. If you don't know, you would think you are some kind of big leader." Before Su Tie and his family could sit down, Su Zhiyong, Su Tie's uncle, snorted. Quite dissatisfied.
The second uncle, Su Hongguang, also quickly agreed: "Yes, let us wait. If the old man and the old lady are old, who can afford it if they starve?"
Hearing the cynicism of these two people and going online, Su Tie smiled bitterly and shook his head, quickly preparing to explain.
In fact, he wanted to come earlier, but Yuejiang Tower was a bit far from Enji Hall, and there was a traffic jam on the road, so he arrived a little late.
However, seven o'clock is also the agreed time, so it is not considered late.
Before Su Tie could speak, his father Su Zhongliang hurriedly held him down and said coldly: "I encountered a little problem on the way, so I came a little late."
"Zhongliang's legs and feet are not very good, so he came a little late. It doesn't matter. Anyway, the food hasn't been served yet and I'm not hungry." At this time, Su Tie's grandma whispered to help.
"Since you know that you have difficulty moving, why didn't you go out earlier? If you were in business, you would have been kicked out a long time ago." Su Zhiyong still said reluctantly.
He was the pillar of the Su family, and he took the initiative to invite guests to dinner today, but the third child actually put on airs and asked him to wait, which really made him very unhappy.
"Third brother, don't blame your elder brother for being harsh. We have been waiting for you for a long time, and the old man and the old lady have been waiting for more than ten minutes. You did not do well today." The eldest aunt said.
The second aunt also nodded hurriedly and responded: "Indeed, since you are late, everyone is right to say a few words to you, and they also want you to remember not to make the same problem next time."
"That's right. I agree with what the boss said."
"I also think what the boss said makes sense. Some rules still need to be followed."
Several other relatives also responded at this time.
Hearing these voices, Su Zhongliang's already gloomy expression turned even uglier. Although Li Guilan did not speak, she lowered her head deeply.
There is no way, who knows that the boss is a contractor and earns more. The children of these relatives still need help in arranging work, so they naturally try their best to fawn over him. On the other hand, he, a disabled person, has no need to cling to them.
After all, poverty is the original sin.
"Okay, Third Brother, please sit down first. If you are late this time, just pay attention next time. There is no need to hold on." At this time, Grandpa Su Tie, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke.
After all, he is the head of the family. When the old man spoke, everyone gave up.
Soon, Su Tie's family sat down, and the liveliness in the private room returned to its previous state, with everyone laughing and passing glasses around.
Although he didn't do it deliberately, subconsciously, he still left Su Tie's family aside.
For such poor relatives, who are also disabled, they would rather hide away, not to mention not being able to provide them with benefits, and they might even ask them for help. No one wants to get into such trouble.
Su Zhongliang and Li Guilan also understood what their relatives were thinking. Although they were angry, they could only eat with their heads down without saying a word. They just wanted to end the meal as soon as possible.
"Everyone should be here, so let me announce the good news first. Today Xiaozhe received the graduate admission notice from Jinling University." At this time, Su Zhiyong suddenly stood up and said with a bright face.
As soon as he said these words, all the relatives congratulated him one after another.
"As expected of Xiaozhe, I have long seen that he has a lot of potential, but I didn't expect that he was admitted to Jinling University and is still a graduate student. He is really a face to our parents, Su."
"Isn't that right? I have watched Xiaozhe grow up. He has been studying since he was a child. If I remember correctly, he should be the one with the highest academic qualifications in our Su family now. He is much better than Su Tie from a medical university.
."
"That's natural. Su Tie is just an undergraduate, and he goes to a local school in Linjiang. Su Zhe went to Jinling University, and he's a graduate student. There's a big difference."
Hearing these compliments, Su Zhe's face was already filled with a proud smile.
"Don't... don't praise him, don't make him proud, but then again, this kid is willing to work hard." Su Zhiyong waved his hands quickly, but he could not hide the excitement on his face.
Hearing the praise from these relatives, Su Tie almost laughed out loud. His eldest brother had been idle since he was a child and had no academic skills. His academic qualifications after nine years of compulsory education were basically obtained through family connections. As for this graduate student at Jinling University, it was even more so.
I bought it with money and now I am bragging about it.
But he didn't bother to say more, as long as people were happy anyway.
"What is the highest academic degree? As far as I know, the graduate school he went to can be bought with money. He can't attend two classes a week, so what's the big deal." At this time, Su Zhongliang, who always had a gloomy face, snorted coldly.
He doesn't care about other things, but when it comes to his son, he can't tolerate it.
As soon as he said these words, the banquet immediately fell silent, and the smiles on the faces of Su Zhiyong and his son froze for an instant.
Su Tie was also stunned. He didn't expect his father to be so angry today.
As an uncle, he has always regarded his face as his life, but now that he is being held back in public, something is probably going to happen...
