Chapter 18 Leek Box
At noon, Su Xiaomu was responsible for cooking. Considering that everyone at home was tired from working today, she baked a leek box and put minced meat in it. She also beat an egg, scattered it and put it inside. The fragrance was fragrant.
"Oh, this smells so delicious!"
Gu Feng always praised Su Xiaomu for cooking, and Su Xiaomu smiled.
"Everyone is back, let's eat quickly."
As a result, at this time, Ms. Chen next to her suddenly raised her voice and said with a look of horror: "Oh my god! Why are you wearing these clothes!"
She grabbed Gu Ruochen and flipped through the clothes he was wearing, "This is what he wore during the Chinese New Year."
Then I saw a scratch on his neck, and his expression immediately changed.
"Who caught this? Did you fight with that girl Gu Ruonan again?"
"No mother...don't talk nonsense, my sister didn't hit me."
Gu Ruochen twisted his neck uncomfortably: "I just accidentally soiled my clothes..."
"Accidentally soiled your clothes? Even if it's soiled, what's the matter with the scratches on your neck? It looks like someone deliberately scratched you."
After Mrs. Chen said this, she gave Gu Ruonan a vicious look, which made the little girl tremble and shrink back behind Mrs. Yin.
"Second sister-in-law, there was a little conflict between Ruochen Ruochuan and the boy from the Zhao family today. As a child, sometimes there will be some friction when you are not paying attention. But I have already told their family that the child also had a conflict with Ruochen Ruochuan.
Apologized."
Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Su Xiaomu quickly stood up and spoke for the children.
"Look at how their child scratched Ruochen. There are such deep blood marks on his neck. He wants to kill our Ruochen!"
It was said to be deep, but in fact it didn't even break the oily skin, it just looked a little deep, and it was fine the next day.
Chen really became more and more angry and distressed the more she thought about it. She let go of Gu Ruochen's hand and said, "Come on, follow me to the Zhao family and talk! After all, my uncle is a scholar, how can he let them bully him like this?"
"Xiao Mu has already settled the matter, and my child has apologized. Now you come to the door just to deliberately cause trouble!
And when you cause trouble outside, don’t mention Jingcheng’s name casually. If you let me know who ruined Jingcheng’s reputation, I won’t let you go lightly!”
Mrs. Li put down the chopsticks in her hand, and turned her gaze to Su Xiaomu expressionlessly, "Tell your second sister-in-law how you solved this matter today?"
"Um."
Su Xiaomu nodded.
Sure enough, the Li family still has the final say in this family. I didn’t see that Mr. Gu is still eating with his head down without saying a word.
Su Xiaomu explained the whole process clearly.
"I'm also afraid that if this matter gets too big, it will be bad for my husband. He is currently studying at a critical time. Our family can't get into trouble with other families just because of a small friction. After all, my husband is not a good person."
Su Xiaomu's pretty face was full of worry.
"After all, it was a fight between children, and the Zhao boy also lost a few strands of his hair.
Ruochen and the others also did something wrong, but now that they can let others apologize first, my wife feels that it is pretty good."
After hearing this, Mrs. Li looked a little better.
Then he gave Chen a hard look.
"You are right. No one or anything in our family can affect the third child's study. Otherwise, don't blame my mother for being arbitrary."
Li opened her mouth wide and had many things to say, but she did not dare to spit out a word.
In the end, he could only look at Su Xiaomu reluctantly and said: "The third daughter-in-law is still capable and can do everything well. No wonder my parents like you so much."
After saying that, she could only vent her anger on the child.
"You and your brother just stay at home today! You are not allowed to go anywhere!"
After Gu Ruochen and Gu Ruochuan finished eating, Mrs. Chen took them back to the house to discipline them.
Mrs. Yin helped Su Xiaomu wash the dishes and asked her quietly: "My Ruonan didn't do anything, did she?"
"Where are you? I have to thank Ruonan for today's matter. If she hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have known that the two brothers had a dispute with the Zhao family's little tiger."
Su Xiaomu sighed: "I think it would be too harsh for the second sister-in-law to teach the children? In fact, the children are still young, and some things may not be good or bad, so just talk about it."
"Let her do it. Didn't you look at mother and say nothing?"
Mrs. Yin felt a little complicated at the moment. Mrs. Li had two sons, so she was naturally a bit stricter. Unlike herself, she had two daughters...
After she helped wash the dishes, she went back to her room and went to sleep.
The daily tasks of the Gu family are actually very fixed. If the women don't do housework, they go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. As for the men in the family, except for Gu Jingcheng who goes to school in the city's academy every day, everyone faces the loess and their backs to the sky.
Noon and evening are the only rest time for the Gu family.
Su Xiaomu was not sleepy, she planned to go up the mountain to have a look to see if there was anything she hadn't discovered yet.
"Ruotong? Why didn't you go to rest?"
She skillfully carried the basket on her back and held the sickle in her hand: "Do you want to go up the mountain with me?"
"OK."
Gu Ruotong agreed without hesitation, and she followed Su Xiaomu with Gu Ruonan.
Su Xiaomu curled up a slight smile on her lips, and patted her palm gently: "It's okay, we just go up the mountain to see if there are any wild fruits, and then look around to see if there are any other wild vegetables that can be used.
For food, don’t go too far.”
"good."
Gu Ruotong nodded timidly. She held Gu Ruonan's hand, and the two sisters followed her without saying a word.
Su Xiaomu didn't press any further. She saw mulberries on the tree nearby and hurried over to pick them.
Seeing that the two sisters were following behind without any movement, he waved to them anxiously: "Come here and help pick the fruit! This fruit is delicious."
Mulberry, this is a good thing.
Daily consumption can not only relieve constipation, replenish deficiency and replenish qi, but also lower blood pressure. It can be said to be a fruit that is extremely beneficial to the human body.
They picked a lot. Gu Ruotong said that he knew this kind of fruit, but he didn't know it could be eaten before, so he had never picked it before.
She took Su Xiaomu to a mulberry forest. After the three of them filled their backpacks, they sat on the ground and ate their fill of mulberries before going home.
"Hiccup~"
Su Xiaomu's cheeks were sore from chewing, and she felt like she was almost turning into a mulberry now.
She wiped the juice from her hand on the leaves next to her and wiped them clean. She looked at the two sisters with a purple circle around their mouths, smiled and gave them a handkerchief to wipe them clean.
"It's delicious. Take back what we picked. Not only can this fruit be eaten raw, but it can also be made into sauce. Then you can each take some and bring it to your friends to eat. Third Aunt guarantees that they will be the first."
