Suddenly, I heard crying coming from the east room.

When Su Xia heard Niuniu's voice, she first called Daya who was playing in the yard to come over and look at her.

늀 anxiously went to Chen's mother's bedroom to check.

When he entered the room and saw Chen's mother holding Niu Niu and coaxing her, 늀 quickly took it over.

"Niuniu, mother is here." She held the girl in her arms, wiping her tears, patting her and coaxing her. During these days of getting along, Su Xia felt distressed at the sight of the little girl who had grown a little chubby because of her care.

Mother Chen, who was standing by, felt distressed when she saw her granddaughter crying.

"I woke up and saw that you were gone, so I started to cry."

Looking at the child in her arms who was still humming a little and hugging her neck tightly, Su Xia knew that the child saw Chen's mother lying there, and might have been a little scared when he thought of his own mother lying in front of him and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard he called.

"It's okay, Mom. I'll hold her and comfort her for a while. You can take a rest. I'll bring you the meal when it's ready."

Su Xia carried Niu Niu to the kitchen, washed Niu Niu's hands and face first, and then took a piece of candy and put it in her mouth.

The child was still young, he forgot to eat candy, he just sat on the stool obediently, he didn't play with the little sister, he kept saying "I'm with mom".

Su Xia felt sorry for her and asked her to sit aside.

I got busy again. I first brought the vegetable balls and put them in a large bowl, then put the vegetables in, without washing the pot. I put the chopped tomatoes in the pot, added a spoonful of salt, stir for a while, added some water, and when the pot boiled, poured the eggs in. A pot of tomato and egg soup was ready.

Su Xia went back to her bedroom to get the eggs, not many, just two, as a supplement for Chen's mother.

The big pot was boiled after a while, and Su Xiaba's beaten eggs and a pot of brightly colored sugar were ready. Although it looked like there were a lot of tomatoes, it was still very difficult to eat.

After everything was served, Su Xia set the table and waited for the Chen family to come back.

Su Xia took three more bowls, one bowl of vegetables, one bowl of soup, and two vegetable dumplings, and carried them to the inner room.

Niu Niu, who was sitting in a daze, saw her mother leaving, so she got up and followed her happily.

Mother Chen was shocked when she saw the meal being served. It seemed that her eldest daughter-in-law was quite good at cooking. Then she saw the eggs floating in the soup and was even more shocked.

"Where do eggs come from? Nowadays, no one has chickens."

"I bought this on the spot. I bought it several times this time. Mom, you eat first."

Su Xia didn't explain much.

When Chen's mother heard this, she stopped asking questions, thinking that maybe the deputy supply and marketing cooperative occasionally had goods and was just kicked out.

After eating, I gave half of the vegetable dumpling to my granddaughter and asked the child to eat it together. The main reason was that the vegetable dumpling was big and the child could not finish one.

Little Niu Niu didn't hesitate to take it and put it in her mouth.

Su Xia didn't refuse. After all, she was just a child, so how much could she eat? She even took two eggs for herself.

Just after eating a few days, Chen's father came in. When the bell rang, Chen's father hurried back. How could he not miss his own wife?

When Chen's mother saw Chen's father, she said, "You're back. Let's eat!"

Then I ate my meal. The tomato and egg soup was really delicious, sour and sweet and appetizing. Niu Niu at the side was also drinking quietly without even raising her head.

Father Chen was relieved to see that his wife was in good spirits and eating well.

Looking at the eldest daughter-in-law, I am also very satisfied.

At this time, the second and third brothers' families also came back.

Seeing my mother eating well, I feel relieved.

Mother Chen looked at the people in the room and sent them off to eat.

Su Xia followed him, and after everyone washed their hands and sat on the stools, she looked at the table full of food and instantly felt hungry.

Father Chen didn't say anything and just sat there with a satisfied look on his face.

The second son, Chen Jiandang, and the third son, Chen Jianjun, were a little excited. They were tired after a whole afternoon and were starving in the morning. They knew they would have a hot meal soon, so who would care about those trivial things?

Xia Laidi, the second sister-in-law, and Liu Chunxia, ​​the third sister-in-law, looked at each other. As women in the family, they knew the situation.

Liu Chunxia could read people's faces. She originally thought that since Mother Chen was ill, she and her second sister-in-law would have to cook first. But now her eldest sister-in-law was cooking directly. Besides, Father and Mother Chen looked very satisfied, so she didn't ask even though she was curious.

Xia Lai Di ignored it and rushed to serve the soup. When she saw the eggs, her heart felt like it was being tickled.

Seeing the eldest sister-in-law also sitting down, she was about to say that they had separated and didn't want to eat together, but when she saw that Chen's father didn't say anything, she pouted and hurried to sit down.

Soon the only sounds left on the table were the slurping of soup and chewing of food.

Su Xia also drank a small bowl of soup and half a vegetable dumpling.

Seeing Daya, Xiaoya and other children smiling happily while eating, I felt satisfied that my cooking skills were recognized.

"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing." The third brother was not idle, and he gave Su Xia a thumbs up.

The second brother listened and nodded vigorously.

Xia Lai Di, Liu Chunxia looked at her man's breathless appearance with disdain, but only secretly.

After eating, Su Xia took Niuniu back to her room, leaving the rest to her two younger siblings to clean up.

I helped with the cooking because Chen's mother was sick, and it was too much to clean up after her.

Xia Lai Di curled her lips and was about to say something, but the third brother's family had already started to clean up, so she followed suit.

Father Chen returned to the room and watched Mother Chen resting, but her complexion looked much better and he was relieved.

Then he asked quietly, "Old lady, are the eggs from the old house?"

After looking at her husband, Chen's mother nodded.

"I bought it in the county town. There's not much. I'll just eat it myself."

Father Chen looked at Mother Chen. Was he that talkative person?

"Boss, take a break in the afternoon...

We don’t need to share the food we have, and the people at home should try not to get sick…” Father Chen’s eyes were filled with sadness.

After hearing this, Mother Chen fell silent. She also knew what the boss meant. During a famine, if you don't starve to death, it's fine. But if you get sick, that would be really... Well, let's listen to the boss!

The second son, Chen Jiandang, and the third son, Chen Jianjun, were both taking their time to rest. Autumn harvest was tiring, and whether Chen's mother went or not would not have much impact on the family.

Besides, try not to get sick! …
