Chapter 90 It's not me who was beaten
After clearing the snow inside and outside the courtyard, Mrs. Su took her second daughter-in-law back to the main room and started preparing lunch.
Liu Yuelan couldn't stay alone in the house, so she ran out.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy around the brazier and chatting.
Mrs. Su scooped up half a bowl of flour and mixed it into batter, mixed in two handfuls of bran, sprinkled some chopped sweet potatoes, and ordered He Daxiang to grease the pan with oil and prepare pancakes.
This is the lunch for a few people today.
This kind of cake hurts your throat when you swallow it, but it can stave off hunger and save a lot of flour in one meal.
To live in a poor family, they have to plan carefully for food. In this family, even simple meals are considered a luxury.
After reaching out to check that the pot was hot enough, Mrs. Su poured in the batter and spread it out. The sound of sizzling and a faint aroma quickly spread out in the main room, making the three kids playing under the eaves of the corridor drool.
"Mom, do you think they can sell their stuff, boss?" Liu Yuelan turned over the pancakes, her eyebrows filled with worry.
He Daxiang controlled the heat and said carelessly, "Our fruit is very attractive, with thin skin and juicy texture, and is extremely delicious. We will definitely sell it!"
Needless to say, although she has only eaten one, she has always been thinking about the taste.
It's so delicious.
In all her life, she has never seen such beautiful and delicious pears.
Their sweet baby has such magical powers, he must be a little fairy from heaven descending to earth!
Isn’t the fruit Tianbao brought out a fairy fruit?
Rare and unique in the world, whoever eats it wins!
He Daxiang regretted that it was a pity that these things could not be told outside. It would depend on who had good looks and luck, and could buy their fruits.
She was not worried at all that the fruit would not be sold.
"It's okay if we really can't sell it! Let's eat it ourselves after we bring it back! I won't eat anymore to save a ration for my family. I'll eat fruit every day!" He Daxiang patted his chest and vowed.
It made Mrs. Su and Liu Yuelan laugh and cry.
The sadness in my heart disappeared instantly.
Mrs. Su dipped her fingers in flour, tapped her second daughter-in-law's forehead, and spat at her, "Look at how greedy you are, your saliva is dripping down to your chest!"
He Daxiang pretended to wipe his saliva and smiled.
Beside the brazier, bursts of laughter erupted.
A bowl of batter was spread out for ten pancakes, and a pot of radish tassel soup was cooked in a hot pan. Old woman Su clapped her hands on her apron and raised her voice, "Little kids, let's eat!"
Before he finished speaking, three boys shouted from outside the door, "My dad is back!"
"Grandma! My father and second uncle are back!"
"Mom, dad and uncle are back!!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and stood up together.
Old woman Su opened the door to the hall and saw the two brothers walking in from outside the courtyard.
Carrying the load, my face was red from the cold, but my smile was so bright that it dazzled my eyes.
Looking at the basket that was so full when it was picked out, and now hanging lightly on the boss's shoulders, old woman Su's hanging heart relaxed, and joy crept into the corners of her finely wrinkled eyes.
He Daxiang also came over, overjoyed, "Mom! The basket is empty! What do I say? I said it will definitely sell! He's a father, isn't he?"
Su Er laughed, "Yes, yes! Sold out! Hahaha!"
As soon as they saw the person coming back, the three cubs swarmed up and circled around the basket. They were as happy and excited as little cubs waiting for bones. "Dad, did you buy something delicious? I can smell the fragrance!"
"You little brat, your nose is sharper than a dog's." Su laughed loudly and scolded, waving his hand, "Go back to the house first! I'll give you some delicious food later!"
"Oh! There's something delicious, there's something delicious!" The three children immediately rushed to the main room, laughing loudly.
When people enter the house, the main room door is immediately closed, blocking out the surrounding eyes that hear the noise and stretch their heads to inquire.
Liu Yuelan couldn't see the wind, so she just didn't go out to greet him. When she saw the man coming back, she immediately stepped forward to help him remove the burden.
"All sold out?" She glanced into the basket with a smile in her voice. Even after hearing her brother-in-law's answer just now, she couldn't help but ask for confirmation.
"Sold out!" The man also smiled, his dark and deep eyes shining brightly, and the joy that came from his heart made his whole person look completely different.
The whole family sat around the brazier, and Su Da opened the thatched curtain to reveal the contents underneath.
Two bundles of herbal medicine bags, a bag of white flour, half a bag of polished rice, a small piece of meat, a fish, a few eggs and two handfuls of vegetables.
When the three women saw what was inside, their mouths opened and closed for a long time without speaking.
On the other hand, the younger children cheered for joy after seeing the meat, and almost broke the roof with their shouts of surprise, "Meat! Meat!"
Su Er patted the heads of the three little ones one by one, took out a paper bag from the rice bag, and took out a few half-hand-sized bean flour cakes, one for each person, "Here, Greedy Cat, I've brought this specially for you this time.
It’s delicious!”
The sesame-filled pancakes are still sweet and soft even after being cold, and are wrapped in a layer of fried bean flour. They are so delicious that the kids want to devour them all with their tongues.
Only then did the old woman Su take a breath, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, opened her eyes to look for the guy, and was ready to start a fight, "Two prodigal sons! What's the situation at home, ah? Let you go sell some things and buy these back! You don't earn enough.
You are so hot! Don’t even run away, I will beat you and me to death today!”
Su Da Su Er jumped to the corner in a flash, desperate to survive, "Mom, don't fight now! Except for the medicine bag and bean flour cake, which we paid for, we didn't spend any money! The big family in town bought up all our pears.
, I tasted it and thought it was delicious, so I tasted these as soon as I was happy!"
"Really, really, I didn't spend any money! Here is the money I earned! I only have two hundred dollars left!"
Old woman Su had just picked up the fire stick in her hand, but it clattered to the ground.
The Su family's yard is small, and is only separated from the neighboring residents by a narrow path. Even if the door is closed, the lively cheers in the house cannot be stopped.
The gossipy woman who had just had a quarrel with Mrs. Su was sitting in the main room of her house warming herself by the fire, listening to what was going on over there with her ears raised high, her lips curled up with disdain on her face, but she was actually as curious as a cat scratching her head.
"Their eldest and second son just came back from the town, carrying baskets and burdens and not knowing what they brought home. Look, the whole family is so happy! Hey, head of the family, what kind of property do you think their family sold?
Earn coins?"
The man was impatient and yelled, "You keep staring at the next door every day. Why don't you just go to her house? People live behind closed doors and you live behind closed doors. How come you are the only one who talks nonsense!"
"What are you talking about? Why do I talk so much? Why didn't you show up when that bitch from the Su family scolded me when I was the one in front of you?"
"Why don't you start making trouble and few people will pay attention to you?"
While the couple was arguing, another scream broke out from next door.
"..." The couple shut up, and both raised their ears to eavesdrop, hoping to hear something.
