Chapter 3972: Entering the Venue

On the seventh, Lu Zhenghong went to the Su family home. The Su family was, of course, still in that courtyard house. Qi Xiaoshan and the others had been helping to look after it, keeping the courtyard and the rooms clean, so they could move right back in upon their return.

Lu Zhenghong's status was no small matter now; even when visiting his in-laws, he had many personal bodyguards accompanying him. This was something Lu Zhenghong couldn't refuse. With his current status, he couldn't walk on the street alone; if any accident were to happen, it would be an irreparable loss.

Fortunately, the Su family's courtyard was large enough that the motorcade drove straight in and parked in the courtyard without feeling crowded.

The Su family was waiting in the courtyard for Lu Zhenghong, and upon seeing Lu Zhenghong and his wife get out of the car, they all went up to greet them.

Seeing Su Wenjun come up to meet him, Lu Zhenghong quickly took a few steps forward, laughing heartily, "In-law, long time no see! How have you been?"

Su Wenjun laughed, "Thanks to you, in-law, I'm doing quite well."

Song Qiaoli walked quickly toward Guo Suhua and greeted her affectionately. The two mothers-in-law hadn't seen each other for a long time, and upon meeting, they naturally had much to talk about. Lu Xiaoya stood to the side, smiling as she watched her parents.

After the pleasantries, Lu Xiaoya had Niuniu walk over to Lu Zhenghong and Song Qiaoli. Song Qiaoli took Niuniu's hand and said, "Niuniu, don't go back to Linshan just yet. Stay at your grandmother's house for a few more days; you're on summer vacation anyway."

Niuniu looked troubled and said, "Grandmother, I still have to attend Teacher Yang's lessons every day."

Song Qiaoli feigned anger and said, "You can attend Teacher Yang's lessons every day, but how many times can you come to your grandmother's house? Can't you skip a few days?"

Niuniu looked at his father, and Su Xinghui said, "Niuniu, then you can stay at your grandmother's house for a few days. I'll ask for leave from Teacher Yang for you."

Only then did Niuniu nod and say, "Grandmother, then I'll stay at your house for a few days."

Song Qiaoli was overjoyed, but she asked Su Xinghui, "Xinghui, will this delay his studies?"

Su Xinghui said, "It's only for a few days. He studies with Professor Yang every day, so it won't delay anything."

Only then did Song Qiaoli happily say, "That's good. Grandmother has prepared lots of delicious food for you at home."

Seeing the happy expressions of Song Qiaoli and Lu Zhenghong, Su Xinghui felt a bit guilty. Niuniu was already this old, yet the days he had spent at his grandparents' house could be counted on one hand.

This time, Su Xinghui intended to let Niuniu stay here for a few more days. Here, he could also watch the Olympics. Niuniu was very fond of sports and was considered a sports star at school, so watching the Olympics in person had always been his dream.

The Olympics held in China this time was an opportunity that only came once in decades. Su Xinghui naturally wanted to fulfill this wish for him. Letting him stay at his grandparents' house while also watching the Olympics was killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Zhenghong and Song Qiaoli had a meal at the Su house before Lu Zhenghong left for business. Tomorrow was the day of the Olympic opening ceremony, and he was very busy, so he had only carved out an hour to visit his in-laws and had to leave after the meal.

Song Qiaoli stayed behind to have a good heart-to-heart talk with Guo Suhua. She didn't go home until after dinner. Niuniu promised her that after watching the opening ceremony, he would move to her house.

On the eighth, Yu Ruizhi, Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu, Chu Zheng, Han Xiang Dong, Hou Wenhai, Hou Wenchang, Mi Xiuyuan, Xie Junqiang, Xu Xiaoguang, Min Tong, and others came to Su Xinghui's house together. They were also planning to watch the Olympic opening ceremony.

They basically all had the status of Olympic sponsors now, so they could get tickets based on this status alone and didn't need to use any special privileges. To them, having extra tickets wasn't of much use.

Su Xinghui told them he wanted to keep Niuniu in the capital to watch the Olympics and asked them to contribute some tickets for the events. Upon hearing this, they all said nonchalantly that as long as Niuniu wanted to watch a certain match, they could get tickets for it.

Many of them were major sponsors, so the organizing committee provided them with plenty of tickets. They really could choose at will and get the best seats.

When Niuniu heard his father letting him stay in the capital to watch the Olympics, he was overjoyed. He was a sensible child and never made unreasonable demands of his parents. He thought staying in the capital for a few days was good enough, but who knew his father would let him stay until the end of the Olympics? He almost jumped for joy.

That noon, Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu invited the Su family to eat at her private restaurant. The scale of this restaurant hadn't expanded, and in fact, there was no room for expansion. Besides, Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu didn't count on this to make money, so she kept running it in this small courtyard.

If the scale of the restaurant were expanded, it would bring a lot of management trouble, which was exhausting. Why should Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu go through that effort? Having such a restaurant here, where friends could come to eat and chat, was a wonderful thing.

The chef at the restaurant now was the son of the original old chef, and he had inherited all the old chef's skills. Yu Sister Sister Ruoqiu had also given him a share of the restaurant, which allowed him to stay here with peace of mind and help manage it.

Although the restaurant wasn't large and could only serve four tables a day, the turnover was quite high, at least several million a year, and sometimes even reaching ten million. The profit margin was also quite high, and the chef didn't have to worry about anyone coming to cause trouble or having to put on a fake smile for others. Where could it be better than here?

The Su family hadn't been here to eat for a long time. The taste was still as good as ever. Now, this chef had not only inherited the old chef's skills but had also come up with some new dishes. These new dishes tasted quite good and added some novelty to the restaurant, making everyone praise them endlessly.

Everyone ate slowly and chatted. By the afternoon, after resting for a while, they went to the National Stadium together, ready to watch the Olympic opening ceremony.

At this moment, everyone's mood was very excited, including Su Xinghui, who had watched an Olympic opening ceremony on TV in his previous life.

After all, this was the first time China had hosted the Olympics, a historic moment. Being able to participate in person was a beautiful memory for a lifetime.

By this time, many spectators had already entered the venue. The Su family's tickets were VIP tickets, and they were seated together with Yu Ruizhi and the others. They had all come as families to watch this significant opening ceremony.

Everyone sat in their seats, wearing T-shirts with the five-star red flag, holding small five-star red flags in their hands, waiting excitedly for the opening ceremony to begin. ===== CHAPTER 3974 =====
