Chapter 135 Girl, was all this done by Jianguo?
"Don't talk about your sister like that. You are such an adult, why are you still competing with your sister for food? Your sister has finally managed to come back from the brink of death. It's a miracle that she is still alive. What's wrong with eating more?" Su Mei's mother Bai Xiaofang became unhappy when she heard Su Shengxue describe her daughter's mouth as a bloody mouth.
Su Shengxue rubbed his lips when he heard what Bai Xiaofang said: "I am only two years older than Su Mei, you are too partial... Hey, something is wrong, why do I smell meat coming out of our kitchen?"
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with your stomach. Where did the meat come from... Oh, why do I smell the smell of minced meat? Am I also sick?" Bai Xiaofang said this and swallowed uncomfortably.
The commune only distributed a few pounds of meat every year. After the family ate it all, they could hardly eat meat again for the whole year. Bai Xiaofang herself would not believe it if she said she didn't like meat at all.
Thinking that Su Mei would be back during the Chinese New Year, Bai Xiaofang could only swallow her saliva. She packed the meat with salt, tied it all up with tree leaves, and hung it above the stove.
The whole family looked to meat to quench their thirst.
After hearing what Su Shengxue and Bai Xiaofang said, Su Mei's father Su Yongcang also sniffed and said, "Strange, I also smell meat, could it be that Dad did it?
He couldn't help it, so he started smoking?"
"Nonsense, our father loves Meimei the most. Even if you cook the meat, he won't eat a bite if Meimei doesn't come back." Bai Xiaofang said as she rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as she reached the kitchen door, Bai Xiaofang froze in place. She stared blankly at the kitchen, and saw a girl with a ponytail standing in the kitchen, looking at her with a smile on her face.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Su Shengxue was drawing water from the well to wash his hands. He noticed Bai Xiaofang's abnormality and asked casually.
Bai Xiaofang pointed at Su Mei, and for a moment, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
Su Mei could feel that her body had a natural close relationship with Bai Xiaofang. It was probably because blood was thicker than water. Even though she had a different soul, Su Mei still felt close to Bai Xiaofang from the bottom of her heart when she saw her.
She walked up to Bai Xiaofang in a few steps, held Bai Xiaofang's hand, and called out affectionately, "Mom!"
"Meimei...it's you, it's really you! My dear girl, you're finally back!" When Bai Xiaofang saw her daughter, she was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She held Su Mei's hand tightly, and before she could say a few words, her face was already full of tears.
After Su Shengxue and Su Yongcang hurriedly wiped the water stains off their hands, they quickly walked over to Su Mei and stared at her.
They simply couldn't believe their eyes; the 'thin' girl in front of them turned out to be their own Su Mei.
"Dad, fifth brother, I'm back!" Su Mei said to Su Yongcang and Su Shengxue.
Her voice was trembling, it was the joy that this body instinctively exuded when facing her family.
Seeing that the whole family had met, Huo Jianguo came out of the kitchen. He smiled and greeted Su Mei's family:
"Mom, Dad, Brother Five, long time no see."
"Jianguo, Su Mei, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell us? We haven't prepared anything yet. Why didn't you tell me earlier so I could pick you up and prepare meals for you?" Su Shengxue stared at Su Mei several times and pinched his thigh, but he still felt like he was dreaming.
"We deliberately didn't tell you because we wanted to give you a surprise. It's been a year, and you must miss Su Mei very much. There's nothing to prepare. It's enough for the family to be together." Huo Jianguo said with a smile.
"Of course they do, especially Su Mei's grandfather, who keeps complaining about us marrying Su Mei to a soldier serving in the frontier." Su Yongcang said, patting Huo Jianguo on the shoulder, "Come on, let's go inside and talk."
The family surrounded Su Mei and Huo Jianguo and walked into the house.
Bai Xiaofang held Su Mei's hand, looked left and right, and tears fell again: "You, this troublemaker, must have made me miss you to death. It's been a year since you left. I miss you every day and I'm going to get sick!"
Su Mei sat and comforted Bai Xiaofang: "Mom, I'm back now, right? I will never leave you again. I will stay at home with you every day, okay?"
"You silly girl, you know how to say nice things to make your mother happy." Bai Xiaofang burst into laughter, she took Su Mei's hand and sat on the chair, "Tell your mother quickly, how have you been spending the past year, how...how did you become so thin?
I can’t even look at it. My heart will break if I do.”
After saying this, Bai Xiaofang naturally shifted her gaze to Huo Jianguo.
Su Shengxue and Su Yongcang also cast suspicious eyes on Huo Jianguo when they heard this.
Huo Jianguo: "..........."
The unanimous looks made Huo Jianguo feel very awkward. Why did the expressions of his wife's family all seem to be as if he had abused Su Mei?
At this moment he really wanted to say, just listen to my excuse!
Seeing her parents and brother with the same expressions as Su Xuanju, Su Mei thought that this family was really adorable.
Everyone feels sorry for her losing weight!
She has indeed lost weight, but it has nothing to do with being thin.
Su Mei stretched out her hand and pinched the three layers of fat on her belly, thinking that perhaps only her mother's family members in this world would stare at this body and talk, using the word "thin" to describe it.
Seeing her family members worried about Jing'er, Su Mei quickly told them about her weight loss experience:
"Oh, I lost weight on purpose. Even now I'm so heavy that I have to breathe heavily when I walk. Please stop saying I'm skinny!
Being too fat doesn’t look good. Look at me now. My facial features are clearer and my clothes fit me better. Don’t I look much better than before? "
"What do you like?" Bai Xiaofang touched Su Mei's face with concern: "Health is the most important thing. Being fat is a blessing."
As the family was talking, they walked to the guest room of the Su family. Su Xuanju was leaning on an old bamboo chair and dozing off. He suddenly woke up when he heard someone talking in the room. He slapped his forehead and said:
"Oh, I'm old now, I sleep too much, I fell asleep accidentally!"
After leading Su Mei and Huo Jianguo into the house and sitting them down, Bai Xiaofang looked at Su Mei reluctantly, got up and walked towards the kitchen. She said:
"Then Jianguo, Su Mei, you two can chat first. I'll go cook for you!"
Su Mei saw Bai Xiaofang get up and walk outside. She didn't remind Bai Xiaofang that she had already prepared dinner. She just stood up, smiled and followed Bai Xiaofang into the kitchen.
It was not until they entered the kitchen and saw the fried potato shreds and the stewed soup that Bai Xiaofang realized that the meaty smell they smelled when they entered the yard just now was not fake.
It turns out that the meat was really fried.
Although the meat was fried into oily residue, it was still soft and glutinous, and the potato shreds were glowing golden. Bai Xiaofang knew at a glance that this was not a meal that could be made in a soy sauce pot.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaofang turned around and looked at Su Mei who followed her into the kitchen from outside, and asked:
"Girl, was all this done by Jianguo?"
