The things on the stall have been almost packed up. I can go home after packing up the tables, chairs and benches. The sun is about to set and I can't delay any longer.
"Mom, Third Brother, let's go home first. It will be dark soon. If there is anything, we can discuss it at home."
Xiao Yi nodded silently. After this incident, he looked extremely haggard, with red bloodshot eyes.
Xiao Hechuan might not understand the complicated logic and right and wrong involved, but he could clearly feel that his third brother and mother were trapped in that sad atmosphere, so he was sad too, with a slightly pouty mouth.
This third sister-in-law is so annoying. She always makes everyone unhappy.
After returning home, Zhou and Xiao Lanlan had already prepared dinner. They happily came to greet them, but found that the word "unhappiness" was written on everyone's face.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Xiao Lanlan had a bad feeling and thought that she had encountered trouble while setting up the stall today.
Xiao Yi returned to his room without saying a word. Today, he didn't want to care about his most precious cow, nor did he want to eat.
Mother Xiao sighed a few times and waved her hand. She didn't want to think about those things.
In the end, it was Jiang Sui who told Xiao Lanlan and Zhou about the incident. Zhou covered her mouth in surprise, and Xiao Lanlan was even more stunned.
I know that Liu is usually reckless, but I didn't expect her to be so reckless. She might be mentally ill. She ran to the mountains when she was more than five months pregnant. Could she live up to her third brother's thoughts about her every day?
"This Liu is really ungrateful. Our family has never treated her badly, but she treats us like this." Xiao Lanlan was very angry. On the one hand, she felt sorry for her third brother, and on the other, she felt sorry for her unborn nephew.
Zhou didn't make any statement, but Liu often made trouble for her at home by taking advantage of her pregnancy. Although she hated Liu, the child was innocent after all.
It's really speechless. She didn't take the child that she begged for seriously and ruined it.
All I can say is, you deserve it!
"Okay, what's the point of saying so much? We have to write a letter to your father and ask him to come back and ask for an explanation from the Liu family. We can't hide such a big thing from him. The third brother is also heartbroken. I guess he won't be in the mood to go out with us in the next two days. Tomorrow, Lanlan, you will continue to go out with us. This has already happened. No matter what, we can't delay our work. Yuemei, you have to take care of the family. You don't have to make the vermicelli by yourself. There is enough vermicelli anyway. You just need to take care of the family and Goudan."
Xiao's mother is the backbone of the family. She is a person who can take charge of things. She will not let Liu's matter affect the family business, so she has already planned the family affairs in her mind on the way home.
Yuemei was Zhou's maiden name.
"Mom, why am I so hard-working? Something happened at home, and as a member of the family, I should share your worries. Why are you saying these inappropriate words?"
Zhou is a pretty good person, and Xiao's mother has nothing to complain about her daughter-in-law.
Zhou was usually very kind to her nephew Goudan. Goudan had lost his mother since he was born, and Zhou had no children of her own, so she was especially kind to him and always made shoes and socks for him and mended his clothes.
Later, Xiao's mother took the yellow paper and incense and candles she had bought to the back of the yard and lit them to burn paper for the unborn child.
When Xiao Yi heard the noise, he followed out. The family burned all the paper, and Xiao's mother even said a few words to commemorate the child.
She asked Xiao Yi to write a letter explaining all these things so that she could take it to the town and mail it to Xiao's father tomorrow.
The next day, according to what had been agreed the night before, Xiao Lanlan went to the stall. She originally thought that Xiao Yi was not in the mood for it, but unexpectedly he still got up on time.
Looking at his eyes, he must have not slept all night. Xiao's mother felt sorry for him and asked him to go back and lie down.
"Child, if you feel bad, just go back and lie down. Don't be so stubborn."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi smiled bitterly:
"Mom, I'm fine. Our cow listens to me. I'll take you to town and send a letter to dad. Lanlan, you can stay at home."
He is a grown man, he can't collapse so easily.
Since Xiao Yi insisted, Xiao's mother did not force him and let him go.
After setting up the stall in the town, Xiao Yi went to find a messenger to send a letter. It would take several days for Xiao's father to come back after this round trip.
Jiang Sui also took notice of the He family noodle stall. He didn't expect that Boss He not only copied Jiang Sui's marketing methods, but also learned to make and sell hot and sour noodles like Jiang Sui.
He also prepared a meat dish and made the noodles spicy and sour. Because of this, he attracted many customers to come and taste it early in the morning. His meat noodles only cost five cents.
Jiang Sui's brows sank, he said hello to Xiao's mother and went to He Ji's noodle stall, ready to try the spicy and sour noodles.
When Boss He saw Jiang Suilai coming, he sneered:
"Hey, isn't this Boss Xiao's daughter-in-law? Why is she here at our house?"
Boss He is really calm and blatantly learning without blushing.
However, Mrs. He's reaction was relatively normal. She knew that this was a learning process, so she felt a little guilty when she saw Jiang Sui coming.
"I want to change the taste today, so I want to try your new hot and sour noodles, Boss He. Why, Boss He doesn't welcome you?"
Boss He also knew why Jiang Sui came. He curled his lips and thought, "So what if I have learned it? Do you guys are allowed to make hot and sour food, but I am not allowed to make my own?"
"Of course, I'll give it to you right away."
The stall had just opened a short time ago, and customers were waiting for their noodles. Jiang Sui waited for a long time before it was her turn. Several customers had already started eating before her. She carefully observed their expressions.
She observed that after the guests ate, their brows furrowed, as if they had eaten something strange.
Boss He put the noodles on Jiang Sui's table with a very rude attitude. Some of the noodle soup spilled out, but Jiang Sui didn't care. Instead, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and wiped them carefully with his own handkerchief before putting down his chopsticks. This action made Boss He laugh.
I thought to myself, you silly girl, why are you pretending?
After taking a mouthful of noodles, Jiang Sui began to feel at ease.
Boss He learned the basics of making hot and sour noodles, but he didn't get the essence.
The minced meat was not stir-fried over high heat, nor was it fried with spices. The soup base was not simmered for enough time, too much water was added, and it was not fragrant enough. The chili oil was also not very tasty. Compared with her hot and sour noodles, it was nothing to be afraid of. This time Jiang Sui was relieved. He only ate two bites, took out five cents and put it on the table, then got up and left.
Boss He looked at the almost untouched noodles on the table, and recalled Jiang Sui's confident smile when he left. He clenched his fists in anger.
But this is just the beginning. The customers who were eating noodles in their own noodle shop complained:
"Boss, why does your hot and sour noodles taste weird? It's not delicious at all."
No one wanted to eat anymore after just a few bites.
Boss He is not smart either. He makes money from the gimmick anyway. You have to pay if you eat it. It doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not.
