Chapter 202 - 0191: Four Generations Under One Roof

The two got up and immediately went around the crowd to the entrance to meet them.

Su Qingshan was already walking on the stone path at the entrance, with three black Hongqi cars parked in the open-air parking lot of the yard. Several guards, their heads shaven and dressed in suits, were scattered around the yard, looking spirited and alert.

Accompanied by his oldest son and followed by a guard holding a black document bag, Su Qingshan turned around and kindly said, “Xiao Tang, tell everyone to go inside, rest, and have something to eat.”

Xiao Tang politely declined. He escorted Su Qingshan to the entrance but did not enter himself. Instead, he remained in the yard, quietly instructing the others through the microphone in his collar.

Su Qingyun and Su Qinghe stepped forward to shake hands with their older brother. It was a particularly affectionate reunion with handshakes and shoulder embraces.

“Big Brother!”

“Big Brother!”

“If you’re busy, you shouldn’t have come. You’ve delayed your time.”

“What are you talking about? It’s my nephew’s thirtieth birthday today. I had to come no matter how busy I was. Is that Xiao Su playing the piano?”

In the Su family, Xiao Su is a unique nickname for Su Yixuan. It means she is the youngest, the only girl, and is cherished by everyone.

“Yes!” Su Qingyun said.

As soon as Su Qingshan entered, he immediately made a hushing gesture, signalling not to disturb: “Let’s sneak in!”

The elderly couple sat, their eyes transfixed on their granddaughter playing the piano, their faces filled with smiles. Su Qingshan walked up to them, standing at attention, bowing deeply, and greeted, “Dad! Mom!”

“Oh, the eldest is back. You haven’t skipped work, have you?” the old man inquired.

“No!”

“Did you take leave?” The old man had always been strict with his sons since they were young.

“I took leave.” Su Qingshan leaned forward, his hands pressed against the seams of his trousers.

“Children work hard, can’t we let him sit down and talk?” the old lady sympathized.

“Big brother! Sit!” The several ladies also got up to greet and say hello.

“I let him sit down? I haven’t finished asking yet.” The old man was stern.

“Hmm, Dad, I’m waiting for your questions.” Su Qingshan did not dare to sit down. No matter how high his position, in front of the old man, he was extremely respectful, receiving scoldings without daring to reply loudly.

“I’ve finished asking, sit down, have a hot cup of tea, it will warm you up.” The old man thought for a moment, and didn’t have any more questions.

“Everyone, sit!” Su Qingshan beckoned, also taking his seat.

Su Qingshan was already a grandfather. His oldest son, Su Dongcheng, was slightly older than Su Nanchen, and had already married and had a child. His daughter-in-law had come earlier with the ladies.

The grandson, not yet a year old, was passed from the hands of his daughter-in-law to Mrs. Su, then to Su Qingshan. Su Qingshan teased his grandson and said to his son, “Dongcheng, call Nanchen over, I want to congratulate him in person, and also, pack some hot food, choose the best, and send it over to Xiao Tang and his team.”

The guests of the banquet were originally only the family’s relatives, Su Nanchen’s classmates, and some colleagues from the hospital. However, when some people heard the news, they all rushed over, and naturally, the crowd grew larger.

Among these uninvited guests, someone sharp-eyed spotted Su Qingshan’s arrival at the entrance, immediately getting restless, looking for an opportunity to greet him. Gradually, more people received the news that Su Qingshan had arrived and they all wanted to greet him. But in this quiet gathering where the family was happily chatting, it was not convenient to disturb them. They had to look for opportunities, casting glances towards Su Qingshan from time to time, trying to find an opportunity. There were even some people who came presumptuously to the party today, just to greet Su Qingshan.

Of the three brothers from the Su family who were present, Su Qingshan held the largest aura. Being in a high position for a long time, he had amassed a strong aura, with an imposing demeanor even without showing anger. Su Qingyun had an air of a proud scholar, like the clear wind in the bright moon. Su Qinghe was different, he was obviously a businessman, fat and cunning.

Su Qingshan handed his grandson to his wife. The brothers chatted and laughed, at this moment, everyone only had one identity – siblings. Su Qingshan accepted the tea handed over by Su Qingyun, sipped it while saying, “Haha, look, our family’s little princess is getting better and better at playing the piano. I need to listen carefully, it’s been a while.”

“We just said that if Xiao Su wants to find a boyfriend, he must pass my test.” Su Qingshan’s wife laughed.

“Definitely, he also has to pass my test.” Su Qingshan said.

“Have you been very busy recently?”

“Very busy!”

“Big brother, no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your health. I just told the third brother that we are getting old, and the children are all grown up.”

“Oh, yes, we’ve watched them crawling from the ground and now they’ve all grown so big.”

“Uncle!” Su Nanchen had come over.

“Come over, sit, sit next to your uncle.” Dongcheng immediately pulled a chair over and placed it next to his father.

“You little rascal, you’re already thirty. Here, this is from your uncle!” Su Qingshan shook Su Nanchen’s hand, taking out a red envelope from his bosom.

This was a ceremony, a ritual. It didn’t matter how much money was given, it was a form of affection from the elders to the younger generation.

“Thank you, uncle. You’re so busy with work and still made the effort to come!” Su Nanchen was sweet-tongued.

“Nanchen, no matter how busy I am, I had to come. This is a big event. Usually, your uncle doesn’t have time, but no matter what, I had to make time to come.” Su Qingshan chatted with Su Nanchen for a while about recent work, marriage, and if there was anything uncle could help with.

“You guys go play, don’t worry about us.” After chatting, Su Qingshan let go of Su Nanchen’s hand.

“Uncle, then we’ll head over first.” Su Nanchen excused himself, Dongcheng followed him, as did Dongcheng’s younger brother and the third son. The cousins also had to get together.

Xiao Su had finished playing the third piece. After the thunderous applause, Mrs. Su immediately beckoned to Xiao Su. Xiao Su looked at Yang Ping, then at her mother, and walked towards her mother.

“Come quickly, Uncle is here!” Mrs. Su waved.

“Uncle!” Xiao Su greeted sweetly.

“Quick, quick, come to Uncle.” Su Qingshan handed out another red envelope.

“Today is Brother’s birthday, and Xiao Su also gets a red packet?” Professor Su joked.

“Of course! What is our Xiao Su?” Su Qingshan laughed.

“Thank you, Uncle. Didn’t Grandfather say that I am the moon?” Xiao Su took the red packet.

“Stars surrounding the moon, ha ha!” Su Qingshan was happy.

“I’m going to go play, Uncle.” Xiao Su didn’t even sit down and was about to leave.

“Stay with your uncle for a while, he took time off especially to—” Mrs. Su stopped Xiao Su.

“Let the child go play. Seeing these children makes me happy.” Su Qingshan took a sip of tea.

He glanced at the younger son’s cup of coffee: “I’m not used to these foreign things, this is much better.”

“The youngest has liked these foreign things since he was a child!” Professor Su said.

“Yeah, we two are very straightforward, he and the youngest are mischievous, always getting scolded by father, their bottoms got beaten quite a bit.” Su Qingshan said.

The old man immediately waved his hand: “Come here, come here!”

Xiao Su immediately went over, standing behind her grandfather, with her hands on his shoulders, whispering in his ear.

“Here!” Grandpa took out a red packet from his pocket.

“Dad, wasn’t that already given?” Mrs. Su reminded.

The old man laughed: “Given already? Then give another one.”

Grandma took out another one: “Here you go, go play, have fun.”

Mrs. Su shook her head: “Xiao Su, today is your brother’s birthday, yet you received more red packets than your brother.”

Xiao Su happily fanned out the red packets, like a child, hopping away.

“You eat these things all day, no wonder you look like Piggy.” The old man looked at the few chocolates in his hand.

Midway through eating, Su Qinghe was stunned by his grandfather’s words, whether to eat or not to eat, the chocolate stopped at his mouth: “Dad, I can’t quit, I’ve liked this since I was little.”

“What’s wrong with having a candy, eat it!” Grandma laughed kindly.

Yang Ping, Su Nanchen, Shao Wei, Old Zhou, and others gathered again. Su Nanchen waved and called his sister over. Xiao Su and Yang Ping truly acted as if they were meeting for the first time.

“Come, let me introduce you. My sister, Su Yixuan, is a surgery room nurse at your hospital. This is Yang Ping, an orthopedic doctor at your hospital. You guys should have met before, right?” Su Nanchen hesitated.

Xiao Su shook her head: “I have heard the name, but never met the person. The chief surgeon of the five-section replantation, a famous person in Sanbo Hospital.”

Yang Ping also said, “You must be in the surgical center, right? I’m in general orthopedics. Our operating rooms are separate, so we barely see each other.”

“No wonder, I thought being in the same hospital, you would have met at least once. Brother Yang, he’s my good friend. Very talented. Not long ago, I invited him to do the leading surgery for a four-link knee reconstruction at Hospital No.1.” Su Nanchen introduced, revealing Yang Ping’s strengths quickly.

Honestly, he really hopes that his future brother-in-law is Yang Ping. Through this period of contact, whether it’s talent or character, both are excellent. But feelings can’t be forced. It’s up to fate. He just provides an opportunity for them to interact. Afterward, let nature take its course.

Xiao Su looked at Yang Ping and said to her brother, “What did you just call him, Brother Yang?”

“Yes, he is very good at performing surgeries, better than I am. ‘The capable one should be treated like a brother.'” Su Nanchen explained.

“No, no, we can’t call him Brother Yang. We should call him ‘Yang-di’. He’s younger than you, after all. We certainly can’t call him Brother Yang.” Xiao Su was firm.

It’s just a title. What’s the obsession? Su Nanchen was confused. This little sister is so amusing. Yang Ping immediately said, “Su-bro, your little sister is right. In the future, you can just call me ‘Yang-di’.”

Su Nanchen looks at Yang Ping, then at Xiao Su, it’s weird. They’re taking a simple form of address so seriously. Yang Ping also follows suit and takes it seriously.

“You two are from the same hospital. Why don’t you chat for a bit? I still have other things to do. Xiao Su, this is my very good friend, can you show him around for me?” Su Nanchen quietly gave instructions to his sister.

Xiao Su nodded: “Don’t worry, I promise he won’t get lost.”

Su Nanchen gave a signal, Shao Wei and Old Zhou understood and walked away. Mrs. Su noticed the situation and called Su Nanchen over: “What’s going on?”

“The two of them seem to like each other!” Su Nanchen shrugged.

Mrs. Su smiled brightly: “That’s good. I was worried they wouldn’t hit it off. This youngster has been tested by your father and you already. I can rest assured.”

“Yeah, he’s really a nice guy. Can’t speak highly enough about his talent and character.” Su Nanchen watched Yang Ping and Xiao Su chatting warmly.

“They seem to be having a good time chatting. You see!” Su Nanchen said secretly.

Mrs. Su noticed too and lowered her voice, “Yes, I’m relieved. Trust in a mother’s judgment, it’s never wrong. This young man is more than a bit better than Lin Hao and the others. It really seems to be fate. Your father was also spotted at first glance by your mother. It seems my daughter has inherited my advantages.”

“Grandfather wants to meet this young man. Bring him over later. Make use of a natural opportunity to introduce him to your grandfather as a friend.” Mrs. Su said.

Su Nanchen felt embarrassed: “Isn’t that inappropriate? The two of them have just known each other—”

“What’s inappropriate? Didn’t you hear clearly? As a friend of yours. Don’t you know your grandfather’s temperament? He just watched them hug each other, he won’t give up without getting clarification.” Mrs. Su reminded.

“Alright then!”

Su Nanchen was confused. Is today my birthday, or my sister’s matchmaking event?
