It was not too late when Luo Sui'an got home. The landlord, Grandma Sun, had not gone to bed yet. She handed over the takeout box as if it were a treasure: "Try these egg dumplings. I think they are very delicious, so I brought some for you."
"Are you going to eat hot pot?" Grandma Sun's nose was sharp and she immediately smelled her scent, and she could accurately say: "It's better to go and eat Donglaishun."
"You are so amazing." Luo Suian was so miraculous: "How did you know that I went to eat at Dong Lai Shun?"
There is Dong Lai Shun's trademark on the take-out box, but isn't there still an unopened packaging bag on the outside? Grandma Sun didn't even see the box, so how did she know she went to eat at Dong Lai Shun?
Grandma Sun snorted: "The smell of their mutton is different from other stores. I knew it as soon as I smelled it."
"Haha, it seems that you ate a lot when you were young." Luo Sui'an diligently took out the takeout box and pushed it towards her: "Then try the egg dumplings and see if they still taste the same as before."
The takeout was insulated, and it was still warm when Luo Sui'an took it back.
Grandma Sun took off her chopsticks, took one and put it in her mouth. She said with some disgust: "The skin is old, the meat is too dry, and the stuffing is not cooked well. I need to change the chef."
Overall it just doesn't taste good.
Luo Sui'an looked ashamed. Yes, the filling of this egg dumpling was not as delicious as Grandma Sun's, but she thought it was much more delicious than the ones from other places.
"You're too talkative." Luo Sui'an was convinced. She guessed that Grandma Sun was probably a popular lady when she was young, but wasn't she down and out? She used to have a lot of choices when it came to eating, but then she stopped doing so.
Grandma Sun could see through her inner complaints at a glance: "Are you talking about my lady's mouth and maid's life? She is so poor and she is still picky?"
"Of course not." Luo Sui'an immediately denied it.
Grandma Sun snorted coldly: "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. What do you think I don't know?"
Luo Suian:......
She touched her nose in embarrassment. Just when she was thinking about playing with the urine escape, Grandma Sun spoke again: "I can see that you used to live a good life, but then your family fell into decline and you could only live like a poor man.
After living a good life, you don’t even have the money to pay attention to eating, drinking, and drinking. You are really poor. I am different from you. I am poor on the outside, but rich on the inside. And you are poor inside and out, so you feel that this is a bastard.
Dumplings are delicious because they are the best things you can eat after you are down and out."
Luo Sui'an's face turned red instantly. She wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to refute it at all, because Grandma Sun was right. After the Luo family was gone, there were too few good things for her to eat.
"Don't be so quick to get angry, just listen to what I have to say." Grandma Sun seemed to be determined to teach her, and said with rare patience: "Poverty and abjection are two different things. I have no money, I am poor, but I can take advantage of myself.
You can live a comfortable life with only the money you have. Look at the yard at home. When have I ever let it get dirty? Look at the furniture at home. No matter how old they are, have I ever let them get dusty?
Look at my hands, they are rough and old, but are they dirty? Even the gaps between my nails are clean.
I was rich in the past and poor now, but my spirit is still rich and I live freely. I don't complain about life and fate. Fate has beaten me into the dust. I have not rotted in the dust, but I have also absorbed it.
The nutrients in the dust bloomed again. Who dares to say that the nameless wild flowers are not bright?
So this person is not afraid of not having money, not being able to eat well, not being afraid of not being able to live in a big house, not being afraid of not being able to wear gold and silver. As long as his clothes are clean, he thinks highly of himself, he doesn’t give up on himself, and he works hard to live, then you can
If you can straighten your back, you will not be lower than anyone else in front of you."
