Chapter 294 First Meal After Returning Home
Su He skipped back to the room to take a shower.
Liu Niang went into the kitchen and sat next to Liu Bai, looking at the dusty young man.
"Will no one find you when you go to the capital?"
"I don't look like my parents, so they can't tell. Now I'm Liu Bai, so there's no need to talk about the past."
Liu Niang asked seriously, "Then you just protect her silently, what if she gets married?"
"impossible."
Liu Bai added another piece of firewood to the stove with an expressionless face.
"She and I are a perfect match. You can go back now that I am here. The house is not big enough."
Liu Niang glared at the brat who was ungrateful and turned around to go out to buy vegetables.
By the time Su He quickly washed her hair and came out, Liu Niang had already returned from buying vegetables and was now killing fish.
"Lotus, are you done washing? Xiaobai, go and empty the water in the tub. When you're done, go back to the room and wash by yourself. I can have dinner by myself."
While Liu Niang was talking, she had already killed three fish. There were many men in the family, and each of them took a bite before one fish was gone, so she had to buy two more.
Su He had just finished taking a shower and felt refreshed and energetic. He was in the kitchen, picked up a cucumber, washed it briefly, and started to eat it.
Watching Liu Niang busying around, she felt like she was back in the small house she bought in Huaihe. At that time, Liu Niang also cooked a table of dishes by herself.
"Mrs. Liu, is Mu Tou still adapting to school?"
"I asked, and they said it was good. Maybe it was because the Zhao family had said hello. The teacher and the students were very polite, and Mu Tou even made two close friends."
You made new friends so quickly? It seems that Mu Tou has good communication skills.
Su He crossed her legs and thought happily, now the only thing missing is Miaomiao. I wonder if this little girl is studying well.
"Mother Liu, please go back tomorrow and help me look after Miaomiao. I have been out for too long this time and I have to go to the government office tomorrow.
Liu Niang nodded and said, "I will go back. Xiaobai can cook and the village is very busy. I will go back and help."
The two of them spent time chatting about this and that, and dinner was ready. In addition to the dishes ordered by Su He, Liu Niang also made a braised fish.
"Sister Hehua, you guys are back! Brother Bin has been promoted to team leader. His monthly salary has increased by two cents."
"Yes, Brother Bing is very much valued by Captain Jin and his men. There is a case today, so Brother Bing stayed to work overtime again."
Wang Zhi and Wang Liang sang in unison, buzzing around Su He.
Su He ignored the two funny guys and looked at his much more mature brother and asked with concern.
"Mu Tou, are you used to going to school?"
Mu Tou pushed Wang Zhi away, sat next to his sister and talked in detail, from the beginning of school, to completing the first small test, and the friendship with his friends.
"Qu Qing said that he wants to invite me to his house for his birthday next month. Sister, can I go?"
"Yes, of course. Since it's your friend's birthday, we also need to prepare a birthday gift. Do you have any ideas? If not, I can help you think of one."
Mu Tou nodded happily, "I haven't thought about it yet, sister, their family is very wealthy, it seems that they don't lack anything."
"Then think about it again. If you really can't think of anything, just give him something ordinary, such as a brush or something. The fruits at home are also fresh. You can bring some with you when the time comes. Your birthday is in August, so you can invite him to our house and play. It's a give-and-take thing."
Mu Tou nodded happily and told his sister about what he had seen and heard in the past month.
"The day after the hailstorm, the yard was a mess, and many of your flowers died. I didn't go to school that day because the academy was on holiday. Brother Bin and his friends were busy for several days and came back late at night every day."
Su He looked at Wang Zhi and the others in surprise, "Then why are you so free?"
Wang Zhi was furious and said that the higher-ups were biased. "Captain Jin said that Brother Bin was steady and quiet, and that he had made great contributions in finding the gold. The higher-ups valued him and always called him to do anything."
Wang Liang glanced at him and said, "Sister Hehua, don't listen to him. This man faints when bleeding. He can't go to any major case. He can only help out. I'm doing this for Sister Hehua's sake, otherwise I would have fired you long ago."
Wang Zhi looked at Lotus guiltily, "I feel much better now. I won't feel dizzy next time."
Su He smiled very gently, "Since Ah Zhi wants to make a breakthrough, Xiao Bai, in the future, when we need to kill chickens and fish at home, remember to give them to Ah Zhi, and let him practice every day."
"You can't hold on. People in the village are lining up to take up the position. Go back to farming."
Wang Zhi swallowed his refusal and agreed with a bitter face.
Wang Liang was looking at his cousin with a gloating look on his face, not expecting that he would be the next one.
"Liangzi, since you don't faint at blood, why didn't you work overtime with me?"
Wang Liang sat up straight all of a sudden, stammering and unable to utter a word.
"Sister Hehua, Liangzi was complained about three times in one month. Once he was said to be unkempt, once he was said to have a bad attitude, and once he was said to look down on ordinary people."
Su He raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Liang, ready to listen to his explanation.
"Sister Lotus, that's not the case. The old woman was trying to embarrass me. I was chasing a thief and I accidentally bumped into her stall. Her pears were fine, but she insisted that I broke them and asked me to buy them. I was not in a good mood to her. As a result, she went to the government to complain about me, and she complained over three days."
Wang Liang was extremely angry because all three of his complaints were made by one person.
Su He laughed, "Did you buy the pears?"
"I will never eat pears again in my life!"
Wang Liang raised his hand and swore, but unfortunately no one believed him.
"Sister, I ranked second in the class in this quiz. The first place is Qu Qing."
Mu Tou pretended to be calm and reported his achievements, and Su He praised him generously.
"The results are good, which shows that Mu Tou has put in a lot of effort this month. The test is good feedback."
Mu Tou looked at his sister and nodded shyly.
"I will definitely pass the provincial exam this year!"
"Okay! Mu Tou, I'll take you to the exam then."
Wang Zhi and Wang Liang took the lead in applauding, and Su He followed suit. Mu Tou looked at his family who supported him and suddenly became full of confidence.
Liu Bai watched silently from the side and interjected at the right time, "The meal is ready, let's eat while it's hot."
When Su He heard that the meal was ready, he quickly invited everyone to eat.
"Is Brother Bin coming back very late? Don't leave the braised fish for him. The weather has been hot and humid these days. It might be fishy when he comes back. Leave more braised spareribs, pour some broth in his bowl, and add some scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
The meal was saved for Wang Bin and everyone ate together in a lively atmosphere.
"Mu Tou, you've eaten all three of these fish heads. You need to nourish your brain. Going to school is too hard."
Su He was biased without hiding her feelings, and Wang Zhi and Wang Liang, who were sitting opposite her, were jealous and furious.
"Sister Lotus, what about us?"
"You've all gained weight, which shows that you're just too idle. You should eat more loofah and lose some weight."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Liu Niang couldn't help laughing. Wang Zhi and the other man looked at each other, and suddenly, in tacit understanding, they picked up the fish head from the wooden bowl, and ran away quickly after their sneak attack was successful.
"Sister, they stole my fish head! Give it back to me!!"
Mu Tou was so angry that his face turned red. This was given to him by his sister.
"Forget it, forget it. Sister will ask Xiaobai to cook for you tomorrow. You should eat quickly while they are away. Lady Liu's cooking skills are really good. Eat more of the dishes and don't leave any for them."
Mu Tou then gave up and quickly lowered his head to eat the rest of the fish head.
Su He served herself a bowl of loofah soup, which she ate with some hot corn cakes. It was so delicious. Home food was still the best. She had been craving for this for a month.
"Azhi, this fish head is so delicious. I feel like I've become smarter. Haha."
"That's right. I'll eat again tomorrow."
