Chapter 27: Lucky Wife (Part 2)



When she passed by the old woman's stall, she called her with a gloomy face: "Aren't you going to buy pickled mustard greens today?"

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands and said, "I bought a basket of them last time. They will last me a long time."

The old woman gritted her teeth, regretting for the thousandth time why she sold it so cheaply.

But apart from her, no one else bought it.

The old woman gritted her teeth and said, "I'll sell it to you at a low price!"

Su Xiaoxiao only spent fifty cents and bought a large basket of pickled mustard greens.

When they got home, it was already past lunch time and the three kids were starving. Father Su cooked, but the meal was awful.

The three little ones buried their heads in the rice jar and refused to eat the dark food made by Old Man Su.

Old Man Su didn't eat it himself.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to cook, and Su Ergou helped her.

When she came out, Su Xiaoxiao saw Old Man Su sitting in the backyard fiddling with a piece of wood.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over, looked at his hand and said, "Your hand is injured. Didn't I tell you not to use your right hand anymore?"

Father Su smiled and said, "It doesn't take much effort. I know what I'm doing, so I'll just take it easy!"

"What are you doing?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Father Su sighed and said, "I have been busy with things outside these two days and neglected my family. You have worked hard. Your son-in-law also told me about your uncle and aunt coming to visit. I am sorry that you have been wronged. I made a walking stick for my son-in-law so that he can move around more easily in the future."

etc.

It seemed to be the case before, but how come she suddenly went from being wronged to being a crutch for Wei Ting? Was her thinking so jumpy?

"Dad! Sister! The food is ready! You can eat!"

Su Ergou barked.

"Let's go, let's go and have dinner." Old Man Su put the half-finished crutch aside and took his chubby and dark-faced daughter into the main room.

Wei Ting had been helped out by Su Ergou and sat down.

In her heart, Su Xiaoxiao objected to the idea that someone could benefit from her influence just by lying down.

But thinking about how she had made him faint this morning, she silently endured it.

She glanced at Wei Ting opposite her calmly. Wei Ting picked up the bowl and chopsticks slowly, with no abnormality in his expression.

It was as if nothing embarrassing had ever happened.

Very good, let’s all have selective amnesia together.

"Hey, girl, what is this?" Old Man Su asked, looking at a dish on the table that he had never seen before. It looked like pork belly, but the cooking method was a little different from what he usually does.

"Preserved pork with preserved vegetables." Su Xiaoxiao said, "It's made with three-stranded pork."

I had originally planned to make this dish yesterday, but Old Man Su hadn't come back yet, so Su Xiaoxiao put it off until today.

I just happened to buy fermented black beans today.

"It's not spicy, right?" asked Father Su.

"Not spicy." Su Xiaoxiao said.

When he heard that it was not spicy, Father Su first picked up a piece for each of the three little ones.

The three of them poked with chopsticks, but when that didn't work, they used their hands instead. Wei Ting frowned as he watched.

Father Su said to his son-in-law, "This is how children learn to eat. You have to let them do it by themselves."

Wei Ting thought about how before coming to the Su family, the three little guys had always been fed by others. After coming here, although they ate in a mess, they did it all by themselves.

Moreover, my appetite has increased a lot.

The pork with preserved vegetables is very tender, fatty but not greasy, and melts in the mouth. The flavor of the preserved vegetables is well stewed in it, and the preserved vegetables soaked in gravy and fermented black beans also have a unique oily flavor.

The three little ones’ mouths were greasy from eating.

Wei Ting usually doesn't like greasy food, but he couldn't help but eat several pieces.

Su Ergou and the three little ones lay on chairs and sunbathe their bellies.

Father Su said with emotion: "My daughter, have you noticed that our life has improved a lot since our son-in-law came to our house? We didn't eat meat twice a month before, but now we can eat meat every meal."

Is that Wei Ting’s credit?

It's hers! She traveled through time, okay! Su Xiaoxiao was as angry as a fat pufferfish and glanced at someone coldly.

... Sleeping once is not enough, at least twice to get back the cost! Wei Ting glanced at Su Xiaoxiao who was about to explode with anger, curled his lips and smiled, and said to Su Cheng: "Dad is right, I am a lucky wife."

Su Xiaoxiao tore the bamboo leaves three times! - In the afternoon, Su Cheng continued to be Wei Ting's walking stick, while Su Ergou took care of the baby.

Su Xiaoxiao went to her own fields.

What she said in front of Old Man Su was that she would let Wei Ting go farming after he recovered, but that was just talk.

Wei Ting will leave after he recovers.

It is now the twelfth lunar month, and after being here for so long, she has almost figured out the climate here.

Xinghua Town is located in the central part of Dazhou, slightly to the north. It has four distinct seasons and it snows in winter. It is not as cold as the north and there are no kangs.

"Well, it's somewhat similar to the climate of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in my previous life. What kind of crops are suitable for growing in this climate?"

Everyone learns things at different times and has their own specializations. In her previous life, she became independent too early and acquired cooking skills, but she was completely clueless about farming.

"Wait, don't worry about whether I can plant it or not. I seem to have forgotten where my own land is."

Su Xiaoxiao stood blankly in front of the ridge of the field, doubting her life, like a lost little fat penguin.

"Da, Daya?"

A suspicious voice came from behind.

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Old Li and his wife Qian.

One of them was carrying a hoe and the other was carrying a basket. They must be working in the fields.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Qian." Su Xiaoxiao greeted them.

Old Li asked, "What are you doing here?"

Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head and said, "I want to go to my field and take a look. I forgot where it is."

Old Li was amused by her silly look: "I'll take you there."

Qian seemed to want to stop them, but Old Li had already led Su Xiaoxiao forward, so she could only accept her fate and follow.

“This is your land.”

Old Li pointed to a field overgrown with weeds and said.

The Su family's two acres of land had been left fallow for many years and was in a state of disrepair. Logically speaking, the land should have been taken back by the village after being so devastated.

But who dares to take over the land of the three tyrants of the Su family?

"Daya, do you want to farm?" asked Old Li.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "I want to grow some vegetables, so that I don't have to go to town to buy vegetables in the future."

Old Li said, "Whatever vegetables you want to eat, pick them from my field."

Qian glared at her husband! Su Pangya eats so much, if she was asked to pick, all the leaves in the field would be plucked out! "The field needs to be planted too." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Old Li said, "The land is so barren that we need to replant it. Besides, even if we plant it now, it will take several months to get a harvest."

Su Xiaoxiao paused and said, "Then I will go to your field to pick vegetables first, and see what vegetables I can grow."

Old Li said, "Whatever you want to plant, I'll give you the seeds and seedlings. If you don't know how to plant, let Aunt Qian teach you."

Qian turned her face away. She would never teach Su Pangya to farm!  If you can't post a book review, you can uninstall the app and reinstall it.
