Chapter 287 Who likes to be treated differently?
"Then of course I made an excuse and ran away without showing it to her! She also said that college graduates are not welcome, as girls who have attended college are too picky and have bad personalities. She wanted to see my high school graduation photo. I said I couldn't find my high school photo, but she actually said elementary or junior high school photos would be better! It would be closer to home and more convenient for my parents to help me in the future. How beautiful was her imagination?
Her son didn't go to school after graduating from junior high school. He is now 28 years old. He said he learned carpentry, but I don't think he has ever worked a day. He is always in the Internet cafe or the game hall. She is quite thoughtful and has to find someone from her mother's family to help her. She also knows that her son will not be able to survive without help! "
Su Yuchen started to rant, and Zhao Xiaojing couldn't stop laughing after hearing some fresh gossip.
“Let’s not talk about them, it’s New Year’s Day.
You just had something sweet, it must be a bit greasy now, right? Let's go try something salty!" Su Yuchen quickly put the bag in his hand into his backpack, patted it, pointed to the next store, and went in with Zhao Xiaojing, who was in a dilemma.
In one morning, Su Yuchen, who was familiar with all the snacks and specialties of each restaurant, took Zhao Xiaojing to eat all of them under the pretext of paying New Year's greetings.
After eating the sweet sesame candy, Zhao Xiaojing ate the salty rice crust, and then the small pies stuffed with pickled cabbage and minced meat. She was amazed at the unique taste, and then she went to the next shop and ate spicy wine lees fish and fried chili peppers. She was still savoring the taste when the next shop brought out cumin-flavored peanuts...
At half past ten, Su Yuchen took Zhao Xiaojing home again. Zhao Xiaojing felt that her stomach, which was half full after breakfast, was now about 70% full.
"Oh, you really take after your father! You can't even come back home during the New Year!" The guests had just left the main room, and Su's mother was directing Su's father to clean up the table. When she saw Su Yuchen coming back, she glared at him.
"What do you mean by follow me? I'm just staying at home obediently!" Father Su protested unconvinced.
"If you're not at home, who will others come to see when they come to our house? Can I do things for them?" Su's mother immediately asked back.
Father Su shut up feeling aggrieved.
What else can he do? He still has a few years before retirement, and he doesn't want to stay at home and entertain guests. His face is frozen from smiling!
"Come here, Xiaojing, the hemp leaves in the room are reserved for you!" Su's mother blocked the two people's mouths at once, feeling extremely happy. She turned around, pulled Zhao Xiaojing over and put a large plate of hemp leaves in front of her.
Zhao Xiaojing, who had been eating for the whole morning, was dumbfounded. It was all because Su Yuchen's snack map was too accurate. She ate too much and had long forgotten about the hemp leaves waiting for her at home. Now there was no room for hemp leaves in her stomach!
Su Yuchen laughed when he saw Zhao Xiaojing's reaction, "Mom, aren't we making dumplings? Let us help you make them. We just ate half a bucket of fermented fish from my second aunt's house. How can we eat any more now?"
"You went to your second aunt's house to eat again! Oh, I told you a long time ago that your second aunt earns money with difficulty, so you should eat less. Why do you eat so much at their house again?" Su's mother couldn't help but complain.
"Your second aunt still has to rely on the minimum living allowance to make a living. Please eat a little as a token of your appreciation. What will she eat if you eat so much?" Su's father agreed unhappily.
"A few small fishes are definitely affordable for Second Aunt. She was looking forward to us going over to eat there! It's just that you guys always talk about how difficult it is for others. When you go to their place, you act restrained and don't eat or drink anything. Second Aunt is unhappy. She even refuses to come to our house for dinner now! You're doing the opposite!" Su Yuchen retorted rudely, "She's unhappy because you remind her that she's poor every day. Who likes to be treated differently? I went to her house and ate and drank without hesitation. Before I left, I left all Third Grandma's sesame candies for her. She didn't know how happy she was!"
"...Really?" Father Su was stunned and asked suspiciously.
"If you don't believe me, ask the mirror!"
"Second aunt was indeed very happy. I felt tears welling up in my eyes when she saw us eating her food." Zhao Xiaojing said truthfully. Only then did she realize why Su Yuchen specifically told her to eat more before going to Second aunt's house.
"Okay, okay, let's go make dumplings. It's Xiaojing's first day here, she must eat fresh dumplings!" Seeing that Su's father was silent and sat aside sighing, Su's mother hurriedly pushed the two of them. The three of them gave the main room to the depressed Su's father and went into the kitchen to make dumplings.
In fact, the Su family had already made dumplings yesterday, and there were still some frozen in the refrigerator. But today Zhao Xiaojing came, and she had asked Su Yuchen to send back so many gifts. Su's mother kept saying that it was impolite to use the dumplings frozen in the refrigerator, and that it was better to eat freshly rolled dough before making it. Since Zhao Xiaojing came, they had to treat her well.
"How do you know what your second aunt is thinking with your little brain? Why didn't you tell me before?" Su's mother brought out a bowl of dough, quickly laid out the chopping board, and took out the rolling pin, but still couldn't help asking Su Yuchen who was standing beside her.
"I know how to think from your perspective. I don't have your overbearing mentality that as long as I do it for your own good, I'm not wrong. Of course I know." Su Yuchen moved a large bowl of stuffing from the chopping board to the table and shrugged. "If I had said something before, you would have listened or not. Now if I say something, you might have to punish me."
"Oh my, I'm going to punish you right now!" Mother Su raised her rolling pin and threatened Su Yuchen without any threat. "The stuffing hasn't been mixed yet! Go mix the stuffing!"
"Look at my mom. If you can't win the argument, she'll assign you a task." Su Yuchen washed his hands and whispered to Zhao Xiaojing.
"Let me do it." Zhao Xiaojing smiled secretly. Knowing how much Su Yuchen was doing in mixing the stuffing, she washed her hands, took a pair of chopsticks, scooped up half a bucket of water, and started mixing the stuffing in a large bowl.
Su Yuchen was happy to be lazy about work she was not good at. Zhao Xiaojing took the job and did not refuse. She just stared at her mixing the stuffing and became distracted unconsciously.
In fact, what she just said to her mother was a joke, and she only understood her second aunt's thoughts today.
When eating snacks at Third Grandma's place, Zhao Xiaojing asked Third Grandma if she could still eat sesame candy. When Third Grandma said she couldn't bite them, she subconsciously followed Zhao Xiaojing to look at the snack box, but there was nothing in it that she could bite.
My third grandmother’s teeth had been bad for many years. One year, Brother Pipi came back and said he would take her to the hospital to get dentures. She happily showed off to her relatives but in the end she didn’t go, saying she was afraid of spending the money and that she wouldn’t live for many more years.
From then on, she always had to cook her food very soft, so soft that she could swallow and digest it without much chewing.
In her words, "Food no longer tastes good. As long as I can eat a few bites to stay alive, who cares what I eat?" At that time, she made snacks just because Pippi Brother loved them. She was happy to make them when Pippi Brother was happy.
Later, Pippi Ge had a son, and Third Grandma had a great-grandson. In fact, they rarely came back, but every Chinese New Year, Third Grandma would still tremble and make a pile of sesame candies and malt sugar that she could not even bite, and then take them out with a smile to give to the younger generations to eat.
