Chapter 4 Why doesn’t my mother like me?

Su Mo quickly made the kitchen look brand new and got his wish from the system.

But there are no condiments in the kitchen, so why don't you ask the nearby villagers for them? According to their attitude towards the original person, it would be better to just kick him out.

Su Mo directly targeted the system, and after some hard talk, the system reluctantly issued the task.

"Ding, system tasks are being dispatched...

I've been hungry for a long time. Are you sure you don't want a bowl of sweet and glutinous rice?

Ask the host to light the fire and cook within a quarter of an hour.

Reward: condiments (you can choose four)"

Su Mo was happy, washed his hands, then picked up the steamer and cleaned it, then went to find a steamer cloth to put on it, and then put the rice given by the system into it.

But she suddenly discovered that both buckets of water had been used while cleaning the kitchen.

258 gloated and reminded: "There are still ten minutes."

Ten minutes was enough to carry water quickly. Su Mo ignored the system, picked up the bucket, and hurried to the well.

In order to save time, she only filled a small bucket of water and ran back. The system smiled maliciously, and it seemed that the game had finally been restored.

"There are three minutes left."

Su Mo concentrated on scooping out water to wash the rice. He poured the rice washing water directly into the iron pot and then put the steamer on it.

There are still firewood and fire starters in the kitchen. Su Mo is wandering around in the last days, just starting fires. It's a trivial matter.

The collision of flint and steel erupted into scattered sparks, igniting the grass. Su Mo blew lightly and the fire grew slightly. She added more firewood. At the last three seconds of the system's countdown, a raging fire ignited in the stove.

When the task was completed, a small ball of light flashed in his mind, and eight options were given.

Oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili pepper, chives, coriander.

Su Mo thought about it and realized that the pork provided by the system was fat and lean pork belly. The fat meat could be picked out and fried.

Salt is definitely a necessity, as is chili pepper. Children love to eat sweets, so you can choose soy sauce and vinegar...

Let’s choose soy sauce.

Su Mo quickly answered, and the system distributed the reward directly into the small clay pot that she had cleaned.

After everything came together, Su Mo found a whetstone and carefully polished the somewhat rusty knife.

One kilogram of pork was still a lot, so she divided the pork into three parts, selected the fatter ones, trimmed off the fat, and then cut the lean meat into good pieces.

There are many small clay pots at home, all moved from the old house, and Su Mo has just cleaned them.

There wasn't much oil for frying, so Su Mo calculated in his mind that it would be enough for two days.

After all, there were still too few condiments, so Su Mo simply fried some chili peppers and stir-fried pork, and found some wild vegetables near the courtyard, blanched them and simmered them with soy sauce.

The smoke from the kitchen curled up and dissipated in the air. Someone looked up and saw whose chimney the smoke was rising from. They looked surprised. Is the Gu family causing trouble again?

He lowered his head and told himself to stop messing around, but he still unconsciously walked to his own water tank, as if if someone said "The Gu family is on fire", they would immediately run over with water.

Fortunately, the smoking stopped.

Su Mo placed the dishes next to the stove so that the dishes would not cool too quickly.

She cast her gaze on the last bit of water in the bucket, thought for a moment, picked up the rag and entered the living room.

Without bargaining with the system, she wiped the tables and chairs in the living room clean. The water was gone and the rag was still dirty.

Su Mo sighed, her stomach growled, and she brought the dishes into the living room, the aroma filled the air.

In the east side room, huddled in her brother's arms, Gu Xingnian sniffed, her stomach singing.

She grabbed Gu Jinnian's sleeve and whispered, "Second brother, I'm hungry..."

Gu Jinnian clenched his hands into fists and said nothing, but Gu Ping'an rubbed his sister's head and coaxed: "Be good, little sister. Later, my brother will take you to the beach to pick up conches. Let's cook the conchs and eat them, okay?"

Gu Xingnian was very lucky. Over the years, she relied on her koi fish to keep the three of them from starving to death.

It's just that we are children after all, so we should only cook food to satisfy our hunger. If we want it to be delicious, it is impossible.

Gu Xingnian pouted, tears welling up in her eyes. She was four years old, but she was thin and short, like a child over two years old.

Gu Xingnian asked his doubts in confusion.

"Why doesn't my mother like me?"

At this time, she is ignorant about many things, but in fact, children at this time are more able to feel whether others like them or not.

But her answer was destined to have no answer.

Gu Jinnian didn't know what he thought of, his face turned pale, his clenched hands loosened and fell weakly on his sides.

Gu Pingan's hand that he raised to comfort his sister froze in mid-air, not knowing what to do.

In fact, they all felt guilty. If they hadn't been clamoring for the big fish, their father and grandparents would not have gone to sea. If they had not gone to sea, they would not have died.

But Gu Xingnian didn't know about this.

The atmosphere in the house was a bit depressing. Suddenly, the door was opened, and a large amount of sunlight broke in, bright and dazzling.

Su Mo glanced at the three children, walked over, and stood in front of them, his shadow falling on them.

"Go to eat."

The original voice has a nice voice, soft and delicate. When speaking, he always subconsciously adds a long tone. Gu Dalang will be fascinated every time he hears it.

Su Mo naturally does not draw long tail notes. She speaks cleanly and neatly, like the breeze passing by in summer. It is crisp, refreshing, and has a touch of alienation, which cannot be rejected.

Gu Jinnian was the first to react and held Gu Xingnian in his arms, his eyes flashing with wariness and disgust.

"If I don't go, you can never sell me again!"

Su Mo was slightly startled, and the relevant memories suddenly appeared in his mind.

During the Chinese New Year, for the first time, I bought food in the county town and came back. I happily called my three children and let them eat.

The three children were a little scared at first, but the original person kept smiling and gave each of them a new set of clothes, which immediately made them relax.

The family gathered together and had a happy meal. After the three children became sleepy, Yuan Sheng carried them into the room and coaxed them to sleep.

After everyone fell asleep, he took Gu Jinnian to the county town and sold him for a tael of silver.

Later, the village chief learned the news and ran to rescue Gu Jinnian. The village chief's leg was also injured that time.

Since that time, the attitude of the villagers towards the original person has truly changed to disgust. After all, no matter how poor or miserable the village is, there has never been anyone who sold their children.

When Gu Jinnian saw that Su Mo was sullen and silent, he clenched his fists, making his tone more fierce, and threatened: "If you dare to betray me, the village chief will definitely drive you out of the village and let you start your own business."

In the Yong Dynasty, the folk customs were open and it was common for women to start their own families. However, being driven out of the village meant that they lost their support.

This kid is quite threatening.

Gu Ping'an also came to his senses. The memory of the Chinese New Year was still deeply engraved in his mind. He moved his body without saying a word. He stood straight and protected his younger brothers and sisters behind him, staring at them with his dark eyes.

Su Mo.

On the other hand, Gu Xingnian was the one who was most closely guarded. After all, she was young, didn't remember things, and was simple-minded. Just now she was asking why her mother didn't like her, but now she heard her mother calling for dinner, and her eyes lit up.

Her body was twisting and turning, trying to break free and follow Su Mo to eat. She was so hungry...
