I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 541 Pure Friendship

Chapter 541: Chapter 541 Pure Friendship

"Aesthetic education for the next generation is so important. With unreliable parents like you two, Luoluo and Bobo have already lost the genetic lottery, so they can only get some help from me."

Chen Lijun made up her mind that when her daughter’s family moved to the city, she would look for a place near her own home for the Yu family so she can see her little grandchildren just a few steps away from her house.

She absolutely had to mold these two adorable cubs, who were already handicapped in their aesthetic sense from the start, into having the same taste as hers.

Having Suizi, who is far too rustic for a mother, is already pitiful enough. It’s even worse when they have a father like Jingting, who has the taste of a nouveau riche....

Chen Lijun’s heart ached for the two babies.

"Mom, it’s a bit over the line to say something like that. I’ve been brought up by you for so many years, and it’s safe to say I’ve soaked up so much of your influence, so why haven’t I learned the essence of your teachings?"

Suizi’s words awakened the surprised Chen Lijun.

Being able to spend the New Year with her mother naturally made Suizi happy.

Even though in her mother’s eyes, she was just a late-blooming rebellious, foolish young wife. But Suizi clearly realized that she was a step closer to the beautiful picture in her heart.

This year was very good for Suizi, but Jingting could totally imagine what Fan Huang of Beijing felt.

He hastily came here to curry favor with Suizi, then rushed back home hoping to spend the New Year with Chen Lijun, only to find out that she ran back here. Fan Huang must have felt extremely lonely this year.

Jingting imagined himself as Fan Huang and couldn’t help but exclaim "tsk" a few times, thinking how pitiful he was.

While Suizi was secretly preparing the College Entrance Exam guide, Jingting brought a bottle of wine to Chen Lijun for a chat. When Chen Lijun had had a good drink, Jingting took the opportunity to ask her the question he had always wanted to know.

"Mom, why didn’t you end up with Uncle Fan back then?"

"Which Uncle Fan are you talking about? There are many people with the surname Fan."

"Do you want to ask about both?" Jingting dared to ask with a thick face.

"No, I don’t want to." Chen Lijun flatly refused.

"Suddenly I thought of it. The leftovers from Jingting can just make two little cotton-padded jackets. Shall I arrange that for Little Luobo?" Suizi appeared at the door at this time.

Chen Lijun, who was holding a wine glass, stopped and stared at Suizi.

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, I just think that Jingting’s aesthetic is actually very good. I’ll carry the child to the director of the art museum later and tell him it was you who made the choice."

"!!!"

"My aesthetic sense is indeed good..." Jingting was slightly aggrieved and retorted in a low voice.

"Every idea Jingting comes up with in the future, I’ll tell everyone that you designed it. And the large ring he gave me, I’ll say that you drew the design."

As soon as Suizi said these words, Chen Lijun unconditionally surrendered.

She realized that these two children were taking this too seriously. If she didn’t tell them, they would look for other ways to find out, which would be too passive for her.

"Fan Hui you already know about, right? He was a weakling who couldn’t be your father, and he couldn’t choose you over the family, so I kicked him to the curb. It’s as simple as that."

"Then what about Uncle Fan?" Suizi asked.

"He had nothing to do with me back then. He didn’t tell you when he came here last time? We only had a pure revolutionary friendship."

"..." Suizi strongly disagreed.

Although what Chen Lijun said now was the same as what Suizi and Jingting had inferred, but no matter how Suizi saw it, her mother’s expression seemed a bit guilty.

"I have already told you everything I should. You have to keep your promise and stop dressing my grandchildren in ridiculous clothes. Okay, never mind that. You go out with me this afternoon."

"Where are we going?"

"Why are you asking so many unnecessary questions?"

Suizi could feel a little flame rushing up her lungs along the bronchial tube.

Every time she met with her mother, she would be happy for a moment and then start arguing.

She kept going back and forth between being happy and frustrated.

"Haha, she’s so talkative because she drank too much of my saliva." Jingting stood up again to shield his beloved woman.

This made Chen Lijun unable to continue, so Jingting slapped Suizi contentedly.

"Did you see? To contend with our mother, you have to be thick-skinned."

"I really need to seriously consider the education of my two grandchildren." Chen Lijun’s eyelid kept twitching.

When she imagined how the two children would grow up to have Jingting’s shameless character, it seemed... quite okay?

"Indeed, being cute can conceal their personality flaws." Chen Lijun concluded.

Her two super cute little grandchildren, even if they were as shameless as Tiegen, which only happens once in 500 years, she could accept it.

"Mom, where are we going? You haven’t told me yet." Suizi asked.

"You’ll know when we get there."

Suizi thought Chen Lijun would take her and Jingting to meet some important people and introduce some connections to her.

But in the end, Chen Lijun led her around the city, and finally to a house.

As soon as they entered the yard, they heard the sound of a sewing machine. A woman wearing presbyopic glasses was riding on the sewing machine and came out to greet them.

"Lijun, you came at just the right time."

"Auntie Four, happy new year, Suizi, this is one of my mother’s relatives, you can call her Auntie Four."

"Nice to meet you, Auntie Four."

"This must be Suizi, you really look like Lijun when she was young, and your height is also good. Who is this?" Auntie Four’s eyes fell on Jingting.

"This is my son-in-law, Jingting."

Auntie Four led the group into the room. There was a sewing machine and shelves full of fabrics in the room. Suizi even saw a device similar to a loom, she went to take a look and couldn’t help but gasp.

"Is this Kesi?"

"You know about Kesi?" Auntie Four smiled a little and pushed her presbyopic glasses back up.

"I’ve seen it in books. This is the first time I’ve seen the real thing. It’s amazing..."

Suizi didn’t dare to touch it, knowing how valuable this thing was.

She admired Auntie Four whom she had never met before and was curious about her past because not many people had this skill.

"Your Auntie Four used to repair textiles in the museum. After she retired last year, she came here to help look after her grandchild. In her spare time, she does these things."

Suizi was secretly amazed. She didn’t know anything about this in her previous life. Her mom never talked about any relatives they had.

Auntie Three was a retired music professor, Auntie Four was a master restorer of artifacts, it seemed that their mother’s family was quite cultured.

"How are your parents doing?" Auntie Four opened a cupboard with pieces of ivory nestled in and took out a few neatly folded clothes.

"They’re the same. My mother isn’t in the best condition, but my father is robust. You know, the bad ones survive a thousand years. His restless nature, tormenting us for a few more decades is no problem." Chen Lijun took the clothes and casually handed them to Suizi.

"Go, change into it in the other room."

"Ah? Is this for me?" Suizi was flattered.

"Don’t think too much about it. These are just scraps that your Auntie Four sewed together. They look better than your red and green cotton-padded jacket for sure." Chen Lijun was as sarcastic as ever.

"You still have that soft heart beneath your tough exterior. You clearly asked me to make these for Suizi in advance-" Auntie Four didn’t finish her sentence, daring not to continue.

Chen Lijun seemingly casually held a pair of scissors, walking around Auntie Four’s precious Kesi fabric, threatening to cut it if she dared to say another word.
