In the small courtyard in the mountains, Su Xiao looked at the pile of fish bones in front of her and touched her slightly bulging belly with satisfaction.
It is more comfortable to cook and eat by yourself. Compared with the "pig food" made by the Su family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is hundreds of times better!
She didn't know whether it was because people in this era generally didn't pay attention to eating, or because the Su family's food was so rough, so she decided to take a closer look.
In modern times, she is a senior foodie. She spends some of her spare time eating and studying delicious food, and she has also developed good cooking skills.
When she sells those two ginseng plants and has money, it would be a good choice to open a restaurant!
"Miss Su, Miss Su!"
Zhu Ying, who was also a little full after eating, was about to praise Su Xiao so that she could help them cook more times, when he saw her eyes were dull and she didn't know what she was wandering about.
Su Xiao was awakened by Bamboo Shadow's call. Seeing that the sky was about to turn completely dark, she quickly took the wrapped grilled fish and left in a hurry.
"Do you need to change the dressing tomorrow?" Just as she was about to step out of the small courtyard, Song Zeyi, who always cherished words like gold, suddenly asked softly.
If you are a girl with a more delicate mind, you can probably hear the euphemistic meaning that Song Zeyi has taken many detours. It is obvious that he still wants her to come tomorrow!
It's a pity that although Su Xiao is very talented, he is just a little nervous and lacks the delicate tendon!
"I taught Zhuying everything. He can do it well. I'll come see you in a few days..."
Before he finished speaking, the person had already disappeared.
Song Zeyi raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the woman who disappeared like the wind, and then chuckled for a long time, with a hint of helplessness in his laughter.
Unexpectedly, the first time he invited a girl, he was rejected outright...
Su Xiao hurried back and went directly to the aunt's house next door.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw two little guys sitting side by side on two small benches, staring eagerly in the direction of the door.
Seeing Su Xiao enter the door, they cheered and ran over, one to the left and the other to the right, hugging Su Xiao's thigh and not letting go!
"The food has been prepared, but they refuse to eat no matter how much I ask them to do it. They insist on waiting for you to come back!"
The aunt wiped her hands with her apron, walked out and said to Su Xiao with a smile.
Su Xiao's heart was almost melted by the cuteness of the two babies. She knelt down and kissed each of them fiercely a few times before leading them into the kitchen with her aunt.
There was a stir-fried bacon with green vegetables and a homemade pickle on the table. Although there were not many dishes, it was obvious that the aunt made them carefully. Su Xiao smiled gratefully at her.
Sure enough, there are still many good people in this world. How unlucky is it for someone as good as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Su family to end up like her?
She took out the grilled fish and put it on the plate. The two little ones cheered again and started eating happily.
After finishing the meal, Su Xiao took out the fruits, washed them and distributed them to Dafu and Xiaofu, and then asked the aunt about the county town.
She had to find a home as soon as possible. First, she sold the ginseng to get the capital to open a shop quickly, and then build a house so she could move out!
"Xiaoxiao, haven't you been to the county town before? How..." The aunt took a bite of the peach and looked at Su Xiao with a little doubt.
Su Xiao's heart "thumped" and she quickly smiled awkwardly at her aunt: "Auntie, didn't I knock my head too much before? I forgot a lot of things and can't remember clearly!"
The aunt nodded in relief, and her suspicious eyes turned into pity.
Alas, this girl has a very hard life. She had a father who protected her in the past, but now her father is nowhere to be found. That family of cannibals is really bullying the little girl!
After dispelling her doubts, she told Lidya Su in detail how to get to the county seat and where the pharmacies and restaurants she was interested in were located.
When Su Xiao went home with her two little ones, she ran into Mrs. Li. She seemed not to have seen her and walked in with her chin held high as if no one else was there.
"Hey, this damn girl, if you don't deal with her for a few days, she will become so lawless!" Mrs. Li's chest hurt from the anger of her rolling eyes, and she pointed at her back and cursed fiercely.
"Mom, please keep your voice down, she is a little different now!" Su Luo walked out from behind the pillar where she had just been hiding, and stared thoughtfully at Su Xiao's straight back.
"Then what should we do! Now that she dares to sit on our necks and shit, do you think I have to endure it for the rest of my life?" Li said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Su Luo's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty, which disappeared in an instant.
How is that possible?!
She had grown up stepping on Lidya Su's shoulders since she was a child. How could she turn over and climb on top of her instead?
"Mom, I see that my cousin's temperament has changed drastically now. She is completely different from before. She is really a bit out of character. She seems to be...possessed by an evil spirit."
She spoke softly, but her voice was faint, making people shudder for some reason.
Li was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, raised her eyebrows, and laughed.
Adding all the old and new grudges together, she has a lot of scores to settle with the dead girl!
When the girl was about to die in her hands, she had to sell the two little brats to those despicable places, just to be able to get out of this bad mood!
Su Xiao took the child and went straight back to the house, unaware of the viciousness unleashed by the Li mother and son.
After a tiring day on the mountain, she coaxed her two children to sleep, washed herself in a hurry, then fell asleep too, and had a good night's sleep.
She got up early the next day, took the two cute babies who were still sleeping to the neighbor's aunt's house, and asked her to prepare breakfast, while she hurried towards the entrance of the village.
The aunt told her yesterday that there were very few families raising horses in the village, so if she wanted to go to the county, she would take the Zhao Laoer family's cart and only pay five coppers per person.
When we arrived under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, we saw Zhao Laoer smoking a dry cigarette and waiting for guests. The carriage was already half full.
She searched in her memory and found that Zhao Laoer had a good relationship with her cheap father, and he was also very kind and enthusiastic, so he was a good person to be friends with.
"Uncle Zhao!" She walked over and shouted with a smile.
"Hey, little girl Xiaoxiao, are you going to the county?" Uncle Zhao was indeed very enthusiastic. Not only did he help her get into the car, he also specially handed her a cushion to make her sit more comfortable.
"Girl, your father is a capable man. Don't be discouraged. He must have been stumbled by something and he will definitely come back."
"I heard that Mrs. Li's long-tongued woman always bullies you. Next time something like this happens again, you should go to Uncle Zhao and Uncle Zhao will stand up for you!"
Zhao Laoer angrily warned Su Xiao, waved his calloused fists fiercely, and shook his beard.
Su Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, her heart suddenly felt warm, like drinking a sip of warm water on a cold winter day, which warmed her heart.
Yes, although she is a soul from another world and has met a top family, there are always good people around her, right? This gradually gives her the warmth and strength to work harder.
"Hey, okay, if anything happens again in the future, I will definitely go find Uncle Zhao!"
Su Xiao smiled brightly at Zhao Laoer and replied crisply.
