Chapter 34 Poor Child



Zhou Suisui had nothing to do that day so he decided to make some snacks.

I cut some potatoes, sliced ​​them and put them in water to remove the starch on the surface, then wiped off the moisture on the surface and finally put them in a pan and fried them. It was ready soon. If you want it spicy, you can sprinkle some chili powder, but considering that there are children at home, I just sprinkled some thirteen spices.

This kind of homemade potato chips is completely different from the ones in Zhousuisui Space. They taste more delicious and have no additives, so it is safer to give them to children.

Zhou Suisui likes sweet food very much, so she also made some donkey rolls.

Steam the glutinous rice noodles, then put red bean paste in the middle, roll it up like a steamed bun, and coat it with a layer of soybean powder before eating.

The eldest, second and third kids came over to eat by themselves.

"Mom, you are so great. You can cook so many delicious foods." said Erwa.

"This is for your grandparents. You two can go and give it to them together." Zhou Suisui brought the plate to them, and the two children ran fast and came back soon.

After Gu's mother fell ill a while ago, Zhou Suisui sent her something every now and then, sometimes it was chicken soup, sometimes it was fish soup, anyway, something to nourish the body.

Zhou Sui Sui didn't think it was a big deal because they had to eat too, it was just a matter of dividing the bowls. But in Gu's mother's eyes, Zhou Sui Sui made it specially for her.

Zhou Suisui: ...This is such a beautiful misunderstanding.

However, Gu's mother was so moved that she kept praising Zhou Suisui as a filial daughter-in-law.

The situation outside is quite tense right now, but Zhou Suisui's translation work has not been affected at all.

Zhou Suisui’s life plan is to survive this special period, save money, buy a house in Beijing and become a landlady. She also wants to take the college entrance examination when it is resumed. After all, academic qualifications will be very important in the future.

God sent her to this era, and she didn't want to be an ordinary person. She wanted to have her own mark of the times.

When the economy opens up in the future, Zhou Suisui plans to take his family to do business so that they can also make money.

Moreover, Zhou Suisui is very satisfied with his identity and the family he has.

My husband is tall, handsome and can make money, and my sons are obedient and sensible. I am very happy as a one-year-old.

I don’t know when my children and I will be able to join the army, but the house at home has to be rebuilt no matter what, and I can’t wait.

In the afternoon, the eldest and second children came back from playing outside and brought back a little boy.

"Big Boy, Second Boy, who are these?" Zhou Suisui asked.

Da Wa replied, "Mom, this is Xiao Jun from the village. We were fighting with Gou Sheng and the others just now, and Xiao Jun helped us. We wanted to give him something delicious to eat."

"Why fight?" Zhou Suisui was really worried all day long, so she took back her previous thoughts.

This time it was Erwa who rushed to answer: "Mom, my brother and I were playing outside, and Gousheng took a fancy to our clothes. If we didn't give them to him, he would take them away, so we started fighting."

Erwa felt that it was necessary to make it clear that they were not the ones who started the trouble, they were also victims.

Speaking of Gousheng, Zhou Suisui knew him. He was the son of a widow in the village. The widow's name was Zhang Xiulian. Her husband went to the mountains to hunt a few years ago and never came back. Widow Zhang never remarried because of her strong personality. No one in the village dared to bully her and her children.

"Did you win in the end?"

"Of course. At the beginning they had more people and Erwa and I couldn't beat them, but then brother Xiaojun came and helped us fight off Gousheng and the others." Da Wa said happily.

"Are you injured? Are you hurt?" Zhou Suisui was more worried about this.

The two shook their heads. "No, mother, we are not hurt at all. Gou Sheng and the others are not hurt either. We just threw a few punches to scare them."

"That's fine, as long as everything's fine." Zhou Suisui nodded.

Qiao Xiaojun stood by without saying a word the whole time. He stared blankly at Zhou Suisui as he gently cared for the eldest and second children.

When he was two years old, his mother died, beaten to death by his father.

He was eight years old now and had long forgotten what it was like to have a mother.

His father remarried last year, and now his stepmother is pregnant, so there is no place for him in the family anymore.

I have been living like this since I was a child, with no love from my father and no care from my mother.

No, maybe his biological mother still loves him, but he has never felt it.

Now seeing the maternal love radiating from Zhou Suisui, he was so envious that he almost cried.

At this time, Zhou Suisui looked at Qiao Xiaojun who was standing beside him. He was wearing clothes with patches on top of patches, straw sandals with a big hole on the toe, and his clothes were extremely thin, but his eyes were very clear and bright.

"Xiaojun, come in quickly. I just made donkey rolls and potato chips today. I'll go get some."

Zhou Suisui had a general idea of ​​this child and knew that he was very pitiful.

When Qiao Xiaojun saw the food on the table, he didn't dare to reach out to take it. He had never seen such delicious food.

From childhood to adulthood, I have never had the chance to eat any good food at home. If I want to eat some meat, I have to go out and shoot sparrows, otherwise I can't eat meat at all.

"Can I eat it?" Qiao Xiaojun asked uncertainly.

Zhou Suisui smiled and said, "Of course, I want to thank you for protecting Da Wa and Er Wa today. You are a brave child."

The gentle tone made Qiao Xiaojun's eyes red.

He felt that Zhou Suisui was like his mother. If his mother were still alive, would she speak to him as gently as Zhou Suisui?

Qiao Xiaojun silently picked up the food on the table, took a bite, and was very surprised. What was this thing that was so delicious?

"Auntie, this is so delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious." Qiao Xiaojun smiled, revealing a pair of not-so-obvious dimples.

Zhou Suisui felt so soft-hearted after seeing this. Such a good child, but he just has an unlucky life.

After eating, Qiao Xiaojun insisted on washing the dishes before leaving. Zhou Suisui tried to stop him but failed. The kid was too stubborn, but it could also be seen that he was very polite.

Zhou Suisui planned to go to Gu's father to discuss the matter of building a house, and build the house before everyone was busy with farming.

When they arrived at the old house, Zhou Suisui told his father Gu about his idea of ​​building a house.

"What kind of house do you want to build?" Father Gu asked after taking a puff of his cigarette.

"I want to build a bigger one. As my eldest son and his family grow older, a smaller house won't do. I also want a kitchen, a separate bathroom, and a toilet. I have a design for the toilet. If you follow my design, it should be the kind with flushing." Zhou Suisui stated his requirements.

"Okay, I'll go find the village chief later and ask him to find people from the village to build it. It should be finished before planting."

"Dad, here's three hundred dollars. You can buy materials and hire people to build a house. If it's not enough, tell me."

"Okay." Father Gu didn't say anything else.
