Chapter 32: Heart-Stirring

Su Daya burst into tears out of grievance and said, "I know, grandma thinks I can't bring any benefits to the family now, so she thinks I'm an eyesore at home, right?"

"Grandma, have you forgotten how Aunt San treated Uncle San, Dabao and Erbao, and Grandma and Daya?"

"Just because she can cook now, I have to change my mind and treat her well?"

"And Erya, don't forget how Third Aunt scolded you before. You're actually siding with her now. You're too spineless."

After hearing this, Madam Meng and Su Erya turned pale.

Su Erya couldn't believe that Dayajie would frame her elders and talk back to her grandmother like this.

She was a little angry, but seeing Sister Daya crying, she felt upset.

She didn't even know what to say.

But she felt that her third aunt had changed for the better, and it would be great if the family lived in harmony.

Why do you keep holding on to the past?

If Third Aunt was still the same as before, she would not learn anything and would not move on.

But now Third Aunt is really nice.

Su Erya moved her lips and wanted to say something, but seeing the resentful look in Sister Daya's eyes, she swallowed her words back.

She knew that there was no point in saying more.

Sister Daya wouldn't listen, and even if she did, she would feel resentful, thinking that her sister and grandmother had something against her.

Madam Meng also knew that she couldn't say any more.

Besides, what can we do if this girl becomes depressed?

Ten years ago, the Marquis's Mansion was convicted. At that time, Su Daya was five years old and old enough to remember things.

She also witnessed the changes in the Marquis' Mansion with her own eyes, and watched her mother abandon her and leave the Su family with just a letter of divorce.

At that time, Su Daya was chasing after her mother's carriage, stumbling and crying for her mother.

But her mother was cruel and didn't even look back or stop the carriage.

Su Daya fell down without even looking at her.

After that, Su Daya fell ill.

She almost couldn't bear it, so Madam Su couldn't help but feel more sorry for her.

I never thought she would be like this.

I didn’t notice the problem before, maybe because of the conditions of the Su family before. Everyone just wanted to have enough food to eat every day, and there were no conflicts at all.

This can provide enough food, but some problems arise.

Madam Meng trembled and said in a trembling voice, "Daya, how can you say such a thing?"

However, Su Erya felt that Sister Daya was poking her grandmother in the heart.

Su Erya felt that the atmosphere was very bad. She whispered, "Grandma, Sister Daya, you must be hungry. Eat first. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

Su Daya turned back to the house and said, "I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry."

Su Daya is going on a hunger strike to express her unhappiness.

Old Madam Meng seemed to be thinking of some past events, and the corners of her eyes were a little red.

Su Erya looked at her grandmother's sad face and said, "Grandma, why don't I go and persuade Sister Daya."

Madam Meng waved her hand and said, "Er Ya, don't be like your elder sister. You should study hard, learn skills, and live a good life with your own abilities. Don't blame others."

"We're already better off than before after being released from the labor camp and regaining our civilian freedom, not to mention now that we have enough to eat. We need to look forward."

Su Erya nodded and said, "Grandma, I understand."

…

When Su Erya came back, she looked a little depressed.

The family sat at the dining table to eat, and Shen Yueyao couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? A little girl shouldn't have any worries."

Su Erya forced a smile and said, "Aunt San, it's nothing. I was just thinking about the steps of cooking."

Grandma didn't let her tell these things to her third aunt, and made her third aunt worry about her.

Third Aunt is already very busy, and we really can’t make her worry about these things.

Shen Yueyao could see that Su Erya was worried, but she didn't ask too much. It was normal for a little girl to be worried.

However, while eating the delicious food, Su Erya felt as if her mood was instantly healed.

"Aunt, this is delicious. The vermicelli is smooth and elastic. Wow, it's delicious."

The taste is different from that of Pueraria lobata powder.

It looks similar to noodles, but tastes completely different.

"And when you eat it, you'll feel refreshed."

Su Erya had clearly eaten many delicious dishes made by her third aunt, but she found this one just as delicious.

There is nothing that doesn’t taste good.

Even the eldest and second child were smiling happily while eating, with smiles on their lips and dimples moving, which looked very pretty.

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, “If you like it, I’ll make it next time. There’s still a lot of kudzu powder anyway.”

Shen Yueyao felt that the family still needed to buy a few more large vats, otherwise they would not be enough.

If you want to buy a large vat, you may have to go to town to buy it.

Su Xueyi ate in silence and elegance as usual, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Aunt, I think this will be very refreshing if eaten in the summer."

Shen Yueyao said: "This is a cold dish. In fact, there are many ways to make cold dishes in summer, not only kudzu vermicelli, but also cold noodles, ice powder ice cream and other foods."

In the summer, she plans to make these foods and sell them.

Su Erya didn't know about these things, but she felt they must be good things.

"And this willow bud, how does it taste?"

After taking a bite, Su Erya's eyes lit up even more. "Aunt San, this... this... I didn't expect that the dish made from willow buds is so delicious. This thing is really edible."

It doesn't have that unpalatable leafy taste at all, it's delicious.

"If we had known that willow buds were edible, we could have just picked them and cooked them without going hungry."

You should know that there are willow trees everywhere, whether in the town or in the village, and there are even more willow buds.

Shen Yueyao said: "We can let the villagers know that if they want to pick willow buds to eat, they can pick them. After all, the willow trees belong to the village."

Most people in the village live in poor conditions, and few families can have enough food to eat.

Some families only eat two meals a day to save food.

If we go to the mountains to get food, we can only get some wild fruits to fill our stomachs, which is useless.

But the food cooked by Willow is really delicious.

After hearing what her third aunt said, Su Erya felt that her third aunt was kind and righteous.

If others knew about it, they would hide it and only eat it among their family.

"Aunt San, you are so kind."

Shen Yueyao said: "But let's pick more, I also want to make dumplings."

Baozi is quite common and not surprising, but there are no xiaolongbao here.

So Shen Yueyao planned to go back and make dumplings.

…

After lunch, it was still early, so there was no rush to make dumplings.

Shen Yueyao wanted to go to the mountain to take a look.

Su Erya naturally had to go along.

Shen Yueyao said: "Let's bring some extra sacks to carry things."

Shen Yueyao felt that just two backpacks and two baskets were not enough.

It would be easier if she went up the mountain by herself, as she could use the space function.

But with Su Erya, it is obviously impossible to use the function of space.

The two of them prepared to go up the mountain.

At this moment, Su Xueyi called out to Shen Yueyao and said, "Yao Niang, wait a moment!"

Shen Yueyao was stunned by Yao Niang's affectionate name.

Su Xueyi's voice was pleasant to the core, with a low, mellow tone like a string of a musical instrument, which could easily touch people's heartstrings.
