Chapter 21 Uncle



Su Xiaoxiao wrote this.

Su Ergou was surprised: "Sister, I was the one who collected the money, how did you know?"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "I tried twelve, gave one away, ate three, and broke six, leaving seventy-eight. Each one costs ten cents."

Su Ergou admires her sister very much.

"Sister, you didn't break your brain. You made it better, didn't you?"

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless about her silly brother.

"Sister, are we going to sell cakes again tomorrow?"

"Come."

"Still coming to Jinji?"

"Um."

Continue to take advantage of Jinji’s traffic.

"Okay!"

Su Ergou was very happy.

Selling cakes is much easier than extorting money, and you can eat as much as you want and keep filling up.

"Sister, I like pickled mustard greens the best!"

It was greasy, salty with a hint of sweetness, and so delicious that he wanted to bite his tongue.

"Is your tongue okay?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Ergou stuck out his tongue a few times and it didn't hurt.

He said, "Okay."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I'll make you some preserved vegetable braised pork when I get home."

Su Ergou asked: "What is preserved vegetable and pork with preserved vegetables?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "You will know after you eat it. Let's go to the market to buy some ingredients."

Business is so good that she plans to make more tomorrow. Otherwise, the ingredients won’t last for a few more days.

"girl!"

As soon as she arrived at the market entrance, she was stopped.

She looked up and saw that it was the young butcher who sold meat.

The butcher came running over, sweating profusely, and said, "Finally you're here. Otherwise, I was wondering where to find you."

"Looking for me?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise.

The butcher smiled sheepishly: "It's like this, you... made the braised large intestine yesterday... do you have any left?"

To be honest, he had no intention of eating it at first, but it would be a pity to throw it away, so he just tried it.

"It tastes better than what my mom makes."

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin and said, "Are you here to ask me how to make braised large intestines, or do you want to buy a bowl of braised large intestines from me?"

"ah……"

The butcher was successfully stumped.

Of course... he came to ask for advice on cooking methods, but after hearing what the little village girl said, he felt it would be a bit unreasonable not to buy a bowl.

"Buy, buy... How much? How much is the braised large intestine?"

Look, he's stuttering.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Not expensive, twenty cents a pound."

The butcher suspected that he had heard it wrong.

2. Twenty wen? One catty? A whole set of pig intestines weighs twenty catties, and it can't even be sold for ten copper coins. How dare she ask for such a price?

Scarcity makes things valuable. She is the only family in the market that can make this kind of braised food. Besides, sugar and salt are expensive, so she didn't raise the price randomly.

Su Xiaoxiao continued: "If you buy it, I'll only charge you ten cents."

The butcher said stupidly: "It's so much cheaper?"

Could it be that the little country girl has a crush on me?

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Then, see you tomorrow."

"Ah, see you tomorrow."

The young butcher turned around and blushed.

When Su Xiaoxiao passed by a stall selling dried goods, she met the old woman from last time.

The old woman opened her mouth and said, "60 cents for pickled plums!"

I lost money last time I sold it for fifty cents!

Su Xiaoxiao said, "I don't want pickled mustard greens today."

The old woman: “…” - The food they bought today was not much, and with Su Ergou serving as a helper throughout the journey, they did not take the ox cart, but walked back to the village.

Old Man Su is not at home. He must be dealing with Uncle Cheng's funeral arrangements.

"Go and bring Dahu and the others back." Su Xiaoxiao said to Su Ergou.

"Okay!"

Su Ergou put down the heavy backpack and walked out of the main room. After a while he came back in panic.

"Sister! Sister! Sister! Someone is coming!"

Su Xiaoxiao was washing her hands in the backyard. She raised her eyes calmly when she heard this: "Who is here that makes you so panicked?"

Su Ergou said in a daze: "It's my uncle and aunt!"

The uncle and aunt mentioned by Ergou are the maternal family of their biological mother Chen. The uncle is Chen’s biological brother, named Chen Feng, and his wife is Huang.

The Chen family is from Yangliu Village in Dongtou.

After Su Xiaoxiao searched the original owner's memory, it was not difficult to understand why Su Ergou reacted like this when the Chen family came to his house.

Old Man Su was a beggar who drifted to Yangliu Village during a famine. He worked as a cowherd for the village head and grew up eating at hundreds of homes.

The Chen family had some wealth, so naturally they would not choose a cowherd as their son-in-law.

The Chen family arranged a marriage for Chen in the town.

There was someone else in the man's room, and he was not polite to Chen before the wedding, so Chen refused to marry him. In order to get a generous betrothal gift, Chen's family forced Chen to marry him.

Later, the young Su Cheng ran to the town and beat the man up severely, and the marriage fell through.

Later, Chen was going to marry the young man Su Cheng.

The Chen family disagreed and threatened that if Chen dared to marry, they would sever ties with the Chen family! They thought that this would scare Chen, but Chen resolutely took the young Su Cheng away from Yangliu Village and settled in Xinghua Village.

During the years when Old Man Su was doing well in the escort business, the two families resumed their exchanges.

Later, Su Cheng went on a long journey and when he returned to the village, Chen had unfortunately passed away due to illness. He didn't even get to see his wife for the last time.

Since then, he never escorted a caravan again.

The Chen family blamed Su Cheng for Chen's death, and not only did they make Su Cheng pay a large sum of money, but the relationship between the two families also broke down again.

Whenever they met, the Chen family would always look down on the Su family members.

Because of his wife, Su Cheng was particularly tolerant of the Chen family, and Su Daya and Su Ergou did not dare to challenge the Chen family.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao digested the memories in her mind, Chen Feng and Huang also came in.

"Hey, isn't this Daya?"

Huang saw Su Xiaoxiao walking into the main room from the back door at a glance.

Su Ergou hid behind his sister.

Su Xiaoxiao said to him, "Ergou, call me uncle and aunt."

Su Ergou leaned forward reluctantly: "Uncle, aunt."

Chen Feng looked serious.

Huang walked forward with a smile on her face, looked at the siblings and said, "It's been a short time since we last met, and Ergou has grown so tall! Daya is also so..."

"I've gained weight." Su Xiaoxiao finished her words.

Huang smiled awkwardly, took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and sat down on the chair.

Chen Feng had already sat down.

He frowned as he looked at the Su family, which had suddenly become less slovenly, and for a moment he suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

The last time the Su family was so clean was when my sister was still alive.

Huang actually noticed it, but she ignored it because she came here for something important.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Ergou, go to the kitchen and boil some water to make tea for uncle and aunt."

"Hey." Su Ergou fled from the main room with a sense of relief.

Huang held Su Xiaoxiao's hand affectionately and said with a smile: "Where's your father? Isn't he at home?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her hand. If someone was being too attentive to her for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief.

"Dad is out. I don't know if he will be back today. It's a bad omen for uncle and aunt to come."

Huang's smile froze for a moment: "...your father won't object anyway, and it's the same if your aunt tells you."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "What does my aunt want to tell me?"

Huang said indignantly, "Your uncle and I have heard about He Tongsheng's affairs. That Tongsheng is a piece of shit! How dare he humiliate you like this!"

Su Xiaoxiao said, "So my aunt is here to help me?"

Huang's smile froze again. "I will definitely come out. Let your uncle come to our house tomorrow and beat up that He guy!"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Why not wait for a better day? Let's go and beat him up today?"

Huang: “…”

It’s so fun to see everyone bubbling!
