Chapter 301
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Miao and his father returned home safely carrying large and small bags.
Su Miao ran into the store and shouted to Su Yu and the others with a smile on his face, "We're back! Did you miss us?"
However, the scene of everyone happily surrounding her and asking her questions did not appear. Seeing the indescribable expressions on their faces, she asked, "What's wrong? Has anything happened in the past few days?"
Su Yu was just about to pull her into the courtyard to talk in detail, but the neighbors who were eating couldn't help it and started talking to Su Yuanzheng:
"Xiao Su, Miaomiao's mother came to see her during the few days you were away, and it seems she brought a gift."
Su Yuanzheng was stunned and subconsciously looked at his daughter: "Miaomiao's mother is here?"
"Yes, yes, that's your ex-wife. She came twice, but when she heard you were gone, she left without even leaving the gifts."
The people around nudged the aunt and signaled her not to say anything more.
She muttered softly, "That's what it is!"
Su Yuanzheng looked at Su Yu with a questioning look. Su Yu scratched his head in embarrassment. "When Aunt Liu came the day before yesterday, I said I wasn't sure when you would be back. If there was anything, I could tell her, but she didn't say anything."
Everyone had different expressions, but Su Miao was very calm. Apart from Liu Ming, who was deeply rooted in her flesh and blood, Liu Xu was only driven by interests.
He suddenly came to her house after not contacting her for such a long time, wanting either this or that. She was destined to be disappointed anyway.
Su Miao pointed to the jar of sand crab juice and said, "We brought back the taste of the sea from Zhucheng. Let you try it tonight. It will definitely exceed your expectations."
Seeing that she didn't seem to care much, the others didn't say anything more. It was normal for a mother to visit her daughter.
An old man laughed and asked, "What does it taste like? Can I have a taste?"
"It's a special sauce from Zhucheng called sand crab sauce. My dad and I even went to the beach to catch sand crabs last night! Brother Yu, are you selling beans today? This braised beans is delicious."
"Yes, yes, there are still two big handfuls left to fry."
"Then let's fry some for everyone to try."
…
A large group of guests gathered around two plates of braised green beans in sand crab sauce with chopsticks in their hands. After looking at them, they felt that there was nothing special about the dish, except that it smelled quite fresh.
"Eat, why don't you eat?"
"Grandpa, didn't you just say you wanted to try it? Why don't you just start eating and ask us to eat first?"
"Humph! You're a coward, young man. I'll do it if I can."
The grandpa picked up a piece of string bean and tried it, then raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Huh? There are things that taste like this, yummy, yummy."
When everyone heard that it was delicious, they started to pick up their chopsticks, and their reactions were different. Some loved it very much, while others looked hesitant.
"Grandpa! Didn't you say it was delicious? This tastes like dead fish?"
"What dead fish? Do you have any knowledge? This is called fresh! I told you to eat less chili, otherwise your tongue will be burned."
"I think it's actually quite good, just like sour porridge, so special! I like it, I like it!"
"Huh? Are you guys okay? Can you handle this smell so strong?"
…
A group of people were arguing with each other, and Su Miao finally understood how Uncle Chen and the others felt when they watched him eating sand crab juice the day before yesterday. It was really interesting!
Su Yu had just tasted the dish after cooking it, and knew that it was amazing and would definitely produce extraordinary results. Now he and Su Miao were laughing heartily.
Then he caught sight of a figure appearing at the door of the store. His laughter stopped abruptly, and he patted Su Miao and said, "Miao Miao, your mother is here."
Liu Xu frowned as he looked at Su Miao who was laughing in the crowd, and thought to himself, how can a girl be so uncivilized!
She walked into the store and called out to Su Miao softly, "Miao Miao, Mom is here to see you."
The atmosphere suddenly became cold, and the guests quietly sat back in their seats to eat. The quiet scene was like a study session in the third year of high school.
Everyone looked like they were eating diligently, but in fact, their ears and eyes were all paying attention to Liu Xu and Su Miao.
Some confused guests hurriedly asked the people around them: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Shh, don't talk! Eat!"
Su Miao, one of the protagonists of the story, couldn't help but shudder after hearing Liu Xu's words.
Damn! How corny, do you think this is "Mom, Love Me Again"?
But I have to say, her acting skills are actually quite good, otherwise her neighbors in Ning County would not have thought of her as a good wife and mother for more than ten years.
In that case, she would act out a scene with Liu Xu.
Su Miaoxiao ran to Liu Xu and said in a joyful tone, "Mom! You finally came to see me! I thought you didn't want me anymore after not seeing you for two years!"
I don't know which customer made a "tsk" sound, but it was particularly obvious in the quiet store.
Liu Xu's deliberately gentle smile froze. The damn girl must have said that on purpose. Wouldn't this let everyone know that she hadn't seen her daughter for a long time?
Liu Xu touched Su Miao's hair and explained, "Miao Miao, Mom misses you every day, but there are too many things to do and I have no choice. I only have the chance to see you now."
Ah! Damn it! I have to wash my hair again soon!
Su Miao nodded obediently: "Mom, I know you've remarried. It must be that uncle who doesn't want you to come to see me. It doesn't matter, as long as you still have me in your heart."
"Uh! How could that be? Your Uncle Wang really cares about you. As soon as he had some free time, he took Mom to buy a lot of things and told me to come and see you soon. How about we go to your room and see if you like the gift Mom bought you?"
"Okay! Mom, come with me!"
Su Miao led Liu Xu into the yard. As soon as she closed the door, the shop was immediately filled with the sound of whispering conversations.
A neighbor who usually had a good relationship with the Su family said directly to Su Yuanzheng: "Your ex-wife seems to be very good to Miaomiao. Was she like this before?"
Su Yuanzheng didn't know how to answer for a moment. Is it the same? Is it different? It's like he's a different person.
There was no need for him to answer, as everyone started discussing it on their own.
"I don't think it's necessarily sincere. Didn't you hear Miaomiao say that you haven't come to see me for so long? If you really missed me, you would have come a long time ago."
"She remarried so soon? It's really possible that her current husband's family wouldn't let her come. Look at how she dresses, they're all top-notch. Maybe she doesn't have a say in her husband's family."
"If you're not allowed to come, you won't come secretly, right? I don't believe she can be tied up with a rope every day. If she suddenly appears, she might have other intentions."
"Oh my! Is she trying to snatch Miaomiao away? Xiao Su! You have to keep a close eye on her. Don't let her take Miaomiao away."
Su Yuanzheng smiled and reassured everyone: "No, Miaomiao will not go with her. Besides, it was clearly written on the divorce certificate at the time that the custody of Miaomiao belongs to me, and I will not go with her."
Although he said this, there was still a hint of unconcealable worry in his eyes as he looked towards the backyard.
