Seeing Ru Qingluan hurriedly saying goodbye, Manager Liang smiled and shook his head: "Who on earth is this person who has made Madam Su so panicked?"
She had been so calm and composed just now, but now she looked so flustered that she looked like a girl of thirteen or fourteen.
The "sacred" person is none other than Su Qingluan's biological mother, Yang.
She smiled and sent off the young lady who had accompanied Su Qingluan. Then she turned around, her face darkened, and stood in front of Su Qingluan and asked, "What time is it?"
In front of your mother, you should be like a dragon coiled up and a tiger crouched down.
An hour ago, Su Qingluan was still chatting and bargaining with Manager Liang in "Hongfulou". Now, looking at the sky that had completely darkened, she felt very guilty.
However, she felt that she was not really a thirteen-year-old girl after all, so she couldn't help but defend herself: "Mother, I have always been sensible in what I do, and it's not just to make more money for the family..."
"Is money the most important thing?!" Yang couldn't help but raise her voice. "If something happens to someone, what would I do with all the money?!"
"I'm not a child..."
"You fell into the river two months ago and had a complete ordeal!" Yang's voice was trembling. "I just found you. If anything were to happen to you for making money, how would I live?!"
Su Qingluan was stunned when she heard this, and then her heart softened: Yes, in her opinion, she naturally understood that she was an adult and was fully capable of taking responsibility for her own actions.
But in the eyes of the Su family, their thirteen-year-old daughter had just been saved from the jaws of death. Wouldn’t she be worried when she came home late this time?
Thinking of this, she leaned towards Yang's arms and said coquettishly, "Mother, it's my fault for making you worry. I won't dare to do it again next time~"
Yang pretended to struggle a few times, then helplessly poked Su Qingluan's forehead with her finger and snorted, "Don't dare? I think you dare very much!" But there was a hint of a smile on her face.
At this time, Su Guangfu, who had been "watching the fight" from the back for a long time, hurried over to smooth things over: "Oh, the food is cold, mother, Daya, come and eat!"
Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan also ran out and said that if my sister went out again, they could protect her.
Su Qingluan glanced at Su Xuanhe, who had just reached her shoulders, and then at Su Xueyan, who had just grown taller than her waistline. She chuckled and said, "You two should grow taller than me first before you talk about 'protection'!"
When Su Xuanhe and Su Xueyan grew up, they were taller than Su Qingluan. They even joked about Su Qingluan's words, but that's a story for later.
After a month of setting up the stall, the Su family's life has improved visibly.
The most intuitive feeling is that the dining table is richer than before.
For example, eggs were saved as "currency" in the past and then exchanged for important food, utensils, etc. at the market in town.
Now, eggs appear on the dinner table much more frequently.
Specifically, Su Xueyan stretched out her little hand, held out five fingers, pouted her lips and sighed: "I have been eating boiled eggs for five consecutive days!"
Yang said helplessly, "Didn't you say boiled eggs were delicious before?"
Su Xuanhe interrupted, "But boiled eggs are so dry! I always choke when I try to eat them."
When Su Xueyan heard her brother's words, she nodded twice very vigorously, indicating that she "strongly agreed."
The two siblings reached an unprecedented consensus on the issue of not wanting to eat boiled eggs.
Su Guangfu frowned slightly: "Before, he always said that he was not full, and after eating, he started to be picky."
Su Qingluan knew that the Su family's original financial situation made "eating eggs" itself a rare thing. In addition, due to the limitations of cooking methods and kitchen utensils, the Su family had only developed two ways to eat eggs: "boiled eggs" and "egg drop soup".
Moreover, boiled eggs are indeed difficult for children to swallow and have no taste, so it is no wonder that they don’t like to eat them.
But she knew more than just these two, didn't she?
So she looked at her younger brothers and sisters with a smile and said, "When you get up tomorrow, I'll make you some delicious eggs!"
Hearing this, the two little guys' eyes lit up - since their elder sister agreed, then they only need to wait until tomorrow morning!
"Ah~ I wish it were tomorrow!" Su Xueyan felt very regretful.
"Tomorrow will be here soon!" Although he was comforting his sister, Su Xuanhe secretly swallowed his saliva, and everyone laughed.
At night, after her younger brother and sister had gone to bed, Su Qingluan went to Su Guangfu and his wife's room and showed the contract she had signed with Manager Liang today to her parents.
Su Guangfu carefully read the terms and conditions, confirming that his daughter had not been cheated. He then handed the contract back to Su Qingluan and said in silence for a long time, "Originally, your parents were supposed to earn money for you..."
"Father, don't say that," Su Qingluan hurriedly comforted her. "My daughter hasn't had the pleasure of being with you for the past thirteen years. Now that I can use my abilities to make our family more comfortable and do something for you, isn't that my duty?"
Whether it is for a better life for herself or to protect this lovely family, she is willing and even happy to do it.
Su Guangfu and his wife were both moved and sighed. Yang even shed tears, which made Su Guangfu and Su Qingluan persuade her for a long time.
No words were spoken that night.
Early the next morning, Su Qingluan came to the kitchen and said to Yang, who was busy, with a smile, "Mother, I'm going to make some steamed egg custard today. How about I give one to you and father?"
"Egg custard? I heard it's something rich people eat, and it must be made with a lot of precious ingredients!" Yang was shocked. "What kind of precious ingredients do we have at home?"
"Those ingredients are just side dishes. The most basic ones just need eggs."
Su Qingluan took out five eggs from the chicken coop, cracked them into five bowls, and quickly separated them with chopsticks.
Then pour warm water with soy sauce, salt and a little bit of powdered spices into the egg liquid.
Yang was surprised and said, "This egg won't be cooked."
Su Qingluan asked Yang to touch the wall of the bowl of warm water: "It's only slightly warmer than your fingers. It won't burn the eggs. On the contrary, it will make the egg custard more tender and smooth."
As she spoke, she took out a spoon and carefully skimmed off the foam on the egg liquid, then placed five bowls filled with egg liquid on the steamer.
At this time, Su Xueyan and Su Xuanhe also got up.
The two children were still thinking about the "delicious eggs" that their elder sister promised them before they went to bed yesterday, and now they can't wait any longer.
Su Qingluan slapped away their little paws that tried to steal the lid of the pot and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the heat burning your hands!" Then she waved them away, "Hurry up and sit down, you two little greedy cats! The egg custard will be ready soon!"
A moment later, five servings of wobbly, tender egg custard were served.
Su Qingluan looked around and made an "invite" gesture: "Everyone, please try this egg custard, how does it taste?"
