Su Xinmi took them to the house that her grandfather left for her. It was in a relatively secluded location, in a very deep alley, and was not a family building.
Her keys had been in the house all along, so it was easy to find them now.
The door was opened, and there were already a lot of weeds in the yard, which looked a bit shabby.
"It looks like it needs to be properly maintained before it can be habited."
Han Xingzhou suddenly had a bad feeling, and the next second he heard Su Xinmo say, "Then I'll have to trouble my uncle and cousin to help me clean up. I've been tired for a few days, and it all depends on you. I'll make you something delicious when you're done."
The uncle was still nodding with a smile, wanting to eat the food made by his niece. Han Xingzhou looked at Su Xinmu in disbelief, and glanced at his father like a fool.
Even though he is dressed simply today and is not wearing a suit, it doesn't mean he has to do these.
The cousins were carrying all the things. Su Xinmu held Jiang Yinqiu's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Qiuqiu and I will go buy some groceries and take a look around."
Zhong Xiang had already gone to find a broom and a rag and handed one to his son. Su Xinmi walked to the door and looked back at her cousin mischievously.
"Remember to clean the kitchen first,"
My cousin is a good person in every way. He can keep himself clean and meticulous, but he hates doing housework the most.
Because when he and his brother did something wrong when they were young, their family would definitely teach them a lesson and punish them. One of the forms of punishment was to do housework.
Su Xinmi thought she would never make mistakes. With her two older brothers taking care of her, she never had to worry about housework at home.
Jiang Yinqiu also looked back and said, "Mi Mi, is this not a good thing for us?"
Su Xinmiao comforted her, "Don't worry, we will be back soon, there is no way we can ask them to clean up everything, after we finish shopping, they will clean up the kitchen first."
"While I'm cooking, they'll have already cleaned up the main room. Then after we eat, we can clean up the room together."
"Otherwise it would take the two of us a long time to clean up."
"Besides, my uncle is very easy to talk to. It's okay. Just have fun here with me."
Su Xinmi hadn't been back for a long time, and looking at the surrounding environment, she felt relaxed.
They bought things quickly, and when they came back, my uncle was lying on the ground with his butt sticking out, looking for something.
"Uncle, what are you looking for?"
Han Zhongxiang pointed at that area and said, "Mi Mi, do you think there is something wrong here?"
Su Xinmi sighed in her heart, her uncle was able to join the survey team, there must be something wrong here, this was the place where her grandfather gave her to hide the treasure.
But she couldn't say anything for the time being, so she pulled her uncle up and said, "What's wrong? Uncle, get up quickly."
The kitchen has been almost cleaned up by my uncle. He is a very capable man and in their house, my uncle does the housework.
Jiang Yinqiu was also not idle, helping to select vegetables while everyone else was working.
Su Xin looked around and saw that her cousin was not at the door. "Where's my cousin?"
"You're worried that I'll be lazy, right?"
From behind came my cousin's voice, extremely dissatisfied.
Su Xin smiled and said, "Hey, I didn't see you."
Han Xingzhou shook off the water stains on his hands and said, "This place that Grandpa picked for you is not bad. There is also a well."
It turned out that he had gone to clean the well, and the water tank in the kitchen was full of water. He looked at his cousin in a flattering manner.
"Cousin, I blame you for what you did."
Han Xingzhou was impatient, "Why are you mad? Go and cook your meal. I'm starving."
"Let me see if you can really cook. Don't brag about it in your letter."
"Today I will let you see Chef Su's cooking skills!" My cousin is still so sharp-tongued.
Su Xinmu made shredded pork with green peppers, cold pig ears, and boiled egg soup.
She still prefers to eat white rice, so she cooks white rice.
At first, Han Zhongxiang was worried that Su Xinmao might get scalded in the kitchen, so he watched from the side with concern.
Only after Su Xinmi told him several times that she really could cook and cooked a dish did her uncle feel relieved.
She wondered if what she had said to them in the letter before was in vain, as it felt like they didn't believe a word of it.
Jiang Yinqiu was helping out on the side. She was the one who did all these things when Su Xinmi was cooking before.
Han Zhongxiang felt embarrassed to let the guests do all this, so he asked Jiang Yinqiu to take a rest while he did it.
Jiang Yinqiu declined politely. She was used to it. If she wasn't given something to do, she would just sit there bored and awkward.
She envied the way Su Xinmi's family got along with each other and felt particularly relaxed and happy.
She feels happy staying here.
When the food was served, my cousin had already cleaned the dishes skillfully.
Even though he looked resistant when Su Xinmo asked him to do these things just now, he did them really well and skillfully.
Su Xinmi concluded that her cousin was a good family man.
The uncle looked at the food on the table and secretly wiped away his tears, "Mimi has really grown up."
"Your mother and the others will surely be pleased."
My cousin threw a piece of paper on the ground and said, "Waste your tears. Look, isn't she taking good care of herself now?"
Han Zhongxiang thought that he still had Su Xinmi as a good friend here, and since he was the oldest here, it would be embarrassing to shed tears in front of the younger ones, so he quickly stopped crying.
"Come on, try the food I cooked."
The uncle took a piece of food with chopsticks and ate it directly. The cousin expressed his thoughts, but Su Xinmu buried her head in eating and didn't listen.
He laughed out loud, ate it, and concluded, "Not bad."
The food in her cousin's mouth was not bad, it was delicious. Su Xinmi picked some vegetables for Jiang Yinqiu, fearing that she would feel embarrassed.
I told my uncle not to come, but he still came. Now he can only work for me.
A few people had their meal and cleaned up quickly.
Su Xinmi looked at the clean house and smiled with satisfaction.
My uncle and his family will be leaving tomorrow and won't be staying here for too long. Before they leave, they remind her to be careful.
Su Xinmi nodded obediently and spoke a few words to her cousin before letting them go.
Her uncle wouldn't let her see him off, but she insisted on going tomorrow. She just asked what time her cousin and his family would leave.
She wanted to give them something, but she couldn't dig it out now, so she had to wait until tomorrow.
This house doesn't look big, but it is actually quite big. It has quite a few rooms. Su Xinmi asked Jiang Yinqiu to sleep with her.
She gave all her quilts and other things to Aunt Ge. When they left, Aunt Ge was a little reluctant to let them go. Although they had not had much interaction, they were still simple and honest.
The next day, Su Xinmi waited for them at the train station early. My cousin had an expression I knew, and my uncle was so happy that he was smiling.
She carried some things and gave them to her uncle, "You should drink less alcohol this time. I only got you a bottle of fruit wine, the other bottle is for your cousin, and there are also some food."
"I have sent my things back, including your clothes and blankets. Don't say you don't want them. I have made them for your grandparents and parents."
Although my cousin didn't come closer, he was listening with his ears perked up. When he heard his own voice, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
