Chapter 95
Now, no matter whether Wang Mazi and his wife were willing or not, the elders of the Wang family directly pulled the little boy in front of Su Miao. The little boy had never seen such a scene before, so he burst into tears.
But no matter how much he cried, he still had to apologize. With the support of the family elders, Su Miao was not afraid at all and stood in front of him with his head held high.
"S-sorry, boohoo! I shouldn't have...taken your things, hiccup!"
"Since you've apologized sincerely, I'll forgive you. I hope you can be nicer to others in the future and stop stealing things."
Then the boy's family took him away while he was crying loudly.
After this incident, the Su family seemed to have won a victory. It was already a happy occasion today because Fifth Uncle was moving into his new home, but now everyone was in even higher spirits, and everyone who could help went to his house to help.
Su Miao walked over and thanked Seventh Uncle: "Seventh Uncle, thank you for making the decision for me."
The Seventh Uncle laughed and said, "Why should I thank you for this? The fact that you have made a difference and brought honor to the family is more important than anything else!"
The fifth uncle came to invite the seventh uncle to come to the house to take charge, and the nephews and nieces also pulled Su Miao over to play.
Banquets in the countryside emphasize cooperation. Whenever there is a happy event in a family, all relatives must do their part.
The fifth uncle is the head of the household and is in charge of the finances, while the second uncle is the general manager. He draws up the menu and arranges who will kill the chicken, who will select the vegetables, who will do the shopping, who will cut the meat, who will cook, and who will light the fire. All of these are under his control.
Su Yuan opened a restaurant and was honored as one of the three chefs for the first time today, which made him so excited that his face flushed.
Su Yu unexpectedly got the position of cutting pile. Several uncles patted his shoulders with satisfaction and praised him for his promising future. In the past, they had to be over 40 years old to get this position.
Fifth uncle's yard has also been completely renovated. Both the front and back yards are very spacious. Originally, the back yard was used to dry rice, but now the rice has been pushed into a small hill, leaving space for tables and chairs.
The children brought small shovels and buckets and dug in the grain pile like they were digging sand, while also chasing away the greedy little sparrows.
There are many little sparrows in the countryside. Ten or twenty of them gather in a group, happily gathering on the wall, chirping non-stop. When people are not paying attention, they fly over quickly to steal rice.
Every time the children waved their hands in the direction of the sparrows, they would fly away in fright, and then continue to stand on the wall waiting for an opportunity to move.
The women sat in the backyard, picking vegetables and chatting. The protagonist this time was the boy from the Wang family who had just had a conflict with Su Miao.
"Hey! You know what? This time I'm not just coming back to visit my family for the holidays, I'm mainly coming back to register my household registration!"
"Register the child? He's only registered at this age? I didn't even know his family had such a big kid!"
"Oh! You usually have sharp eyesight, but why not this time? Did your son catch your myopia?"
"Bullshit! Tell me what's going on!"
"Didn't you notice that Wang Mazi's wife isn't the same one as before?"
The women in the group immediately exclaimed, "Something doesn't look right to me! I thought she looked different because she was dressed more fashionably!"
"No! What about the previous one? Divorced? Married someone new? Is this your step-son? And you dote on your step-son so much? I'm so anxious, tell me now!"
The aunt who knew the inside story shook her shoulders and said excitedly: "The wife is a step-wife, but the son is my biological son! Think about it! Think hard!"
"It's important! Are you so crazy? Didn't you say before that you and your wife haven't been able to have children for years?"
"Is this kid from my ex-wife or my second wife?"
"You still can't figure it out? He's been with his ex-wife for almost ten years without having a child, and they divorced a few months ago, and the next day he immediately got his current wife, who gave birth to a child eight years ago!"
…
On the surface, Su Miao was playing with millet with the kids, but in fact, his ears were perked up, and he heard every word of the gossip!
It turns out that art comes from life. This is even more epic than the melodramatic articles she wrote. I will assign it to him after she finishes writing the second book.
His current wife gave birth to his child while he was still married to his ex-wife? And the child is eight years old? Is he biologically related? It really leaves a lot to the imagination!
"Aunt, what are you thinking about?"
The little niece patted her, and Su Miao came back to her senses and shook her head: "I wasn't thinking about anything, I was just daydreaming."
"I'm hungry. Can I take you to the kitchen to find something to eat?"
After saying that, he pulled Su Miao to the kitchen. The people in the kitchen were busy preparing food, and it was very lively.
Now that living conditions have improved, Fifth Uncle is eager to put all the delicious food on the table. In addition to the chickens and ducks raised by his own family, there are also fresh fish caught from the reservoir, and he even bought half a pig.
At rural banquets, meat dishes are the absolute protagonists, and the chefs use all their skills to make the spatulas clang loudly.
When they saw the two little ones come in, the adults immediately understood that they might be hungry or greedy, so an aunt picked up two pieces of fried pork belly with garlic sprouts that had just come out of the pan and fed them.
The lean and fat pork belly was cut into thick slices, added with soy sauce along with fresh garlic sprouts, and stir-fried quickly over high heat. Each piece of pork belly was covered with rich sauce, and the mouth was full of meaty aroma, which made Su Miao, who was not hungry originally, really greedy.
After taking two more slices of pomelo, the two little girls planned to go back to the backyard. As soon as they walked out of the kitchen, they saw an unfamiliar young girl walking in with her parents. The fifth uncle's father led the group in, and his son Su Yu also followed.
The two young men lowered their heads, looking embarrassed.
"Aunt, this is Uncle Yu's girlfriend. Once the house is built, they will get married. Then we'll have wedding candy to eat."
So that’s how it is. It turns out that a house is an important prerequisite for marriage.
"Aunt, let's go take a look!"
The little niece pulled Su Miao into the room. The parents of both sides were discussing something enthusiastically, and the young couple was sitting on the sofa whispering.
Su Miao and his little niece crouched as they approached them. There was a large wooden board leaning against the stool, which was of unknown use and just enough to block the two small figures.
The young couple spoke too quietly, and the little niece wanted to get closer, so she accidentally knocked over the large wooden board, making a loud noise that attracted everyone's attention.
"Miaomiao? Xier?"
The little niece pulled Su Miao away quickly, shouting as she ran, "We are not! You are mistaken!"
These past few days were a bit too full. They had fights, listened to gossip, had banquets, caught fireflies, and went boating in the reservoir the next day. On the last day at noon, Uncle Huzi came on time to take them and their goods back to Yongcheng.
The National Day holiday ended successfully in chaos, but Su Jiamiao's reputation of daring to grab cow dung with bare hands was passed down.
