Chapter 8: The snoring sound with such a big difference

Mrs. Su lowered her voice. She didn't want Amelia Su to hear what she said to her husband. Mother Su was about to retire, and there was still more than a year. The Su family meant that Mother Su would retire and let Mrs. Su take over the job. They could wait a little longer and there was no rush. Mrs. Su hadn't gotten pregnant and had a baby yet. If she got pregnant and had a baby in more than a year, Mother Su's job would be suitable.

The Su family has already made plans, and now Amelia Su is coming over.

Mrs. Su San didn’t know what other people were thinking, but the first thing she thought of was Su’s mother’s job.

"No way?" Brother Su San was stunned.

"Why not?" Third Sister Su said, "She is your mother's biological daughter, not a child picked up from the roadside. Aren't we talking about gender equality now? Look at her attitude today. She went to the countryside, she suffered a loss, and everyone seemed to owe her something. Her attitude towards my younger sister was not good either, and my younger sister tried to ease the atmosphere. If your elder sister and your younger sister were so sensible, I wouldn't worry, but your elder sister is like this..."

Third Sister Su really felt that Amelia Su was likely to compete with her for this job, “Dad is going to retire a few years later. Are they still thinking that there are not so many people who need to work in the family, so Mom’s job will be given to the eldest sister first… Can I do Dad’s job? Besides, a few years later, it’s not certain what the situation will be by then.”

Father Su's salary is high, he can't retire so soon, he has to work if he can still do it. Money is needed everywhere in the family, Father Su doesn't make money, if there is any trouble at home, will he be left to starve?

"You should think about it carefully." Mrs. Su said, "I'm putting this here. You have to know who your mother's job should be given to. Don't let your eldest sister cry and then you will be persuaded. You must think about this matter carefully! It's not that I have to care about these things, but we have to have our own children in the future. We have to raise them and spend money."

"I know." Brother Su sighed, "Work..."

"Like I just said, I probably won't be able to take over your father's job. By then, your parents will be unemployed, and I'll be unemployed too. How are you going to support such a large family by yourself?" Third Sister Su said it all first. She was afraid that her husband wasn't thinking well and thought that both Su's father and he himself could hold on because they were working.

But they have to consider the situation after Su's father retires, not to mention that they don't have to think about this situation in a few years. In life, you still have to think more, life can't always go smoothly.

"Yes, you are right." Brother Su San nodded.

As soon as Amelia Su came back, everyone had their own thoughts.

Amelia Su's husband was lying on the upper bunk, and Amelia Su's mother and daughter were lying on the lower bunk. There were buttons inside the curtain, and the curtain was very thick, so you couldn't see inside from the outside. This was to make it easier for Amelia Su to change clothes on the bed. After all, sometimes there was someone in the bathroom and Mrs. Su's room was closed, so it would be troublesome for Amelia Su to change clothes.

With a thicker curtain that can be drawn so that no one outside can see inside, Su Xueqing can do something inside.

At this moment, Amelia Su did not fasten the curtain, but just pulled it. Wei Shanshan had fallen asleep. The child had been bumpy all the way, and came to the Su family today, and his spirit was also tense. Not to mention that the child's body could not bear it, even the adult's body might not be able to bear it.

Amelia Su looked in the direction of Wei Shanshan. She held a fan in her hand and fanned it twice. She hadn't fallen asleep yet. Amelia Su couldn't hear clearly what Brother Su and Sister Su were talking about, but she knew that they must be talking about something.

Life in the countryside was so hard that Amelia Su's nails became darker and thicker. Every time she used scissors to cut her nails, she had to use more force. Her palms were rough and not good-looking at all. Amelia Su thought that she had helped with some housework in the city, but her hands did not become like this, and neither did her feet.

While working in the fields, Amelia Su accidentally peeled off her toenail, leaving a lot of blood. Even after the toenail grew back, Amelia Su still felt that the toe was a little different.

Even if she is not feeling well or is injured, Amelia Su still has to work. If she doesn’t work, it will be counted as centimeters. If one person doesn’t work, there will be a lot less centimeters for a couple.

Amelia Su's husband's family is not a rich family, they are poor farmers, and Amelia Su's husband got married later. Wei Dashan can indeed work in the fields, and he does a good job, but no matter how good he is, what's the use?

There is a world of difference between the countryside and the city!

After a while, Amelia Su heard Wei Dashan’s snoring.

Wei Dashan's snoring was quite loud, and the room was not very soundproofed, so Brother Su San and his wife in the room could hear it.

Mrs. Su reached out and poked Brother Su, "Such a loud snoring..."

"Mom said they will only stay for a month." Brother Su San said, "They will leave after they find a job."

No matter how loud the snoring was, they had to endure it for now.

"I didn't go out and tell them, and I didn't pull them up." Mrs. Su said, "The best time is one month."

That night, Su San's wife didn't sleep very well. The living room was close to her room. Plus, the bunk beds were closer to Su San's room. When Su San's wife heard the snoring outside, she felt uncomfortable but could only endure it.

Early in the morning, Su Sansao got up to cook. Su's mother and others had to go to work, so it was not good to let Su's mother make breakfast. When Su Sansao went to cook, Amelia Su came to the kitchen quickly.

Amelia Su's temper is indeed not very good, but she also knows that she has to do some work. She can't do nothing, which will make the Su family very dissatisfied. When Amelia Su didn't go to the countryside, she also helped cook at home.

"Make some vegetable and lean meat porridge, and fried eggs." Mrs. Su said, "I can do it here."

As for breakfast, I didn’t make it complicated, just simple.

Mrs. Su San also had to cut the pickled mustard tuber she bought yesterday. After making breakfast and the family finished eating, she went out to buy vegetables. Mrs. Su San didn't want Amelia Su to help with things, but breakfast was simple, so if Amelia Su helped, she wouldn't have to do much work. When the two of them got together, they didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Su fried eggs according to the number of people, one for each person. She looked at Amelia Su and took two more eggs. Country people have big appetites. If someone wants to eat one more egg, it will be gone as soon as they stretch out their chopsticks, which will not look good.

Amelia Su didn’t pay attention to Su Sansao’s actions. Since her sister-in-law didn’t want her to help, she went to see Wei Shanshan.

Su Xueqing got up late, and she went to the cafeteria with Ning Jiaxuan for lunch before going to the baking training class. Ning Jiaxuan's family was rich, so she could have hired a chef to teach her, but she felt that such an ordinary training class was more interesting, and she just wanted to experience the life of ordinary people.

After Su Xueqing learned that she was in a book, she thought about why she felt that Ning Jiaxuan was a little bit out of place before. That was because Ning Jiaxuan always liked to experience the so-called ordinary life. If it were Su Xueqing, she would definitely not have to live an ordinary life. She preferred to enjoy it.

Of course, it is also possible that the Ning family has experienced a special era and they are worried about policy reversals, so they prefer to keep a low profile.

There are more than 20 people in the training class. Today we are going to make egg yolk pastry, with golden egg yolk, soft red bean paste, lotus seed paste, and various fillings. There are all kinds of ingredients on the table, and salted egg yolk, red bean paste and other things are ready.

Red bean paste is not easy to cook, so it is better to have it ready-made. If the red bean paste is not properly cooked, it will stick to the pan, and the sweet red bean paste may turn into bitter red bean paste.

Su Xueqing and others were mainly responsible for kneading the dough. The dough was the key point. Whether it could become crispy and look good was extremely important.

Fortunately, Su Xueqing and others don’t need to control the heat to cook and bake the pastries, which is actually easier for them.

"Do you want it?" Su Xueqing would always ask Ning Jiaxuan if she wanted the ready-made pastries, after all, it was Ning Jiaxuan who paid for it.

"I'll take two." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You take the rest back."

Ning Jiaxuan knew that Su Xueqing's family was a little bit poor. Anyway, the cakes they made were not that delicious, but they were made of real ingredients. If they stayed in the training class, the staff of the training class would take them away for their families to eat.

Su Xueqing didn't think she acted like a beggar. Others said she looked like a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy, and that she wore ugly clothes on purpose because she was afraid Ning Jiaxuan would be unhappy. Su Xueqing only had those clothes. It wasn't that she wore ugly clothes on purpose, but those gorgeous clothes were usually more expensive. As a college student, she didn't need to spend all her money on dressing up.

The egg yolk pastry is baked, and a few black sesame seeds are dotted on the golden pastry.

Ning Jiaxuan took a bite of an egg yolk pastry and frowned slightly. This egg yolk pastry was not as delicious as the one made by their servant. During the special period, the servant went back to his hometown and came back later. The servant's cooking skills were really great.

"You try it too." Ning Jiaxuan said.

"Not bad." Su Xueqing took a bite.

"This, isn't bad?" Ning Jiaxuan was surprised. "Yes, you haven't eaten those delicious cakes. You usually eat mung bean cakes and the like, and the ingredients are not so rich."

"I seldom eat mung bean cakes." Su Xueqing said. Cakes are expensive. In the case of lack of food and clothing, who would buy cakes every day? Eating them occasionally is good enough.

The Su family's conditions were better than many other families, but they still had to save more. Some families lived a harder life, and even though they lived in the city, they still ate a lot of pickles.

Su Xueqing listened to Ning Jiaxuan's words. She didn't think Ning Jiaxuan's words were harsh. She was telling the truth. But if someone was suspicious, they might think Ning Jiaxuan was not good.

After Su Xueqing packed up her things and put them in her bag, she went downstairs with Ning Jiaxuan. Su Xueqing's bag was a bit heavy, so she walked a little slower, and Ning Jiaxuan was also not in a hurry.

Just as they were about to go downstairs, Ning Jiaxuan suddenly pulled Su Xueqing, and Su Xueqing almost fell down. Fortunately, Su Xueqing held onto the wall.

"how……"

"Brother, my brother!" Ning Jiaxuan felt like she was seeing a ghost. Woohoo, she didn't even stay at home to watch her brother's joke yesterday. Why did her brother come over? Ning Jiaxuan hid behind Su Xueqing and bent down deliberately, trying not to let her brother see her. "Don't... don't go over there yet."

Ning Jiaxuan whispered those words, and she asked Su Xueqing to stand here for a while. Maybe after a while, her brother would go back by himself.

Su Xueqing naturally listened to Ning Jiaxuan. There was no way she would betray her friend.

However, Ning Jiaxuan's brother walked towards Su Xueqing step by step. Su Xueqing's heart beat faster. It was over. It seemed that she had no way to help Ning Jiaxuan.

"Excuse me, have you seen Ning Jiaxuan?" Ning Jiaxuan's brother stopped in front of Su Xueqing.
