Chapter 105 Seafood Feast
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and took out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and stuffed them into her pocket: "Xiaoxiao girl, this candy is for you. If you have such good things in the future, you must think of your aunt."
Don't hit a smiling person, and Su Xiaoxiao is not against money, so she nodded and agreed immediately.
He was even very generous and gave Aunt Wang two bags of dried fish in return.
Aunt Wang was so happy that her mouth almost stretched to her ears. Xiaoxiao was really generous, unlike Zhang Dongmei and her daughter who only knew how to instigate. She would never trust those two people again.
Several other aunts behind her who were too embarrassed to come forward immediately rushed forward shamelessly and tried to get close to Su Xiaoxiao in various ways.
From now on, they will be irreconcilable with Zhang Dongmei and her daughter.
If it weren't for the mother and daughter's instigation, maybe they could have eaten seafood tonight.
You have to know that department stores don’t have seafood available every day these days, and you can hardly find it unless it’s a festival.
They actually wasted such a good opportunity.
After everyone had left, Su Xiaoxiao quietly took out the portion she had reserved for herself from the small warehouse and put it in a sack, holding in her arms a large pile of thank-you gifts that the aunties and sisters had just given her.
She felt very happy because she got a lot of rebates and so many thank-you gifts.
As soon as Liu Cuilan entered the house, she saw the main room was full of things and was immediately shocked.
I couldn't help but ask: "Where did all these things come from?"
Su Xiaoxiao counted the money happily and glanced at her mother casually: "These were all given to me by the aunt next door."
Why is Liu Cuilan so unconvinced? She has been in this village for so many years, and because of Su's father's matter, everyone avoids them whenever possible. How could they be so kind as to give them things?
Seeing her obvious disbelief, Su Xiaoxiao patiently explained the whole story to her mother. Liu Cuilan's eyes widened immediately. She was ready to help her daughter, but she didn't expect her daughter to be so resourceful and buy everything for everyone.
Suddenly, she remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Third brother, did you forget to keep our own?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Xiaoxiao calmly take out a lot of things from the sack.
There were sea-caught prawns nearly the size of a palm, large hairtails as wide as five fingers, and large pomfret over fifty centimeters long.
Liu Cuilan's eyes widened.
In her life, she had never seen such big shrimps or such big fish.
Suddenly remembering something, Liu Cuilan's face suddenly changed: "Old Third, do you have enough money for so many things?"
If I remember correctly, she gave Su Xiaoxiao five dollars.
Five dollars won’t buy you so many old things.
Su Xiaoxiao grinned: "These things were given to me by others, I didn't spend a penny on them."
Such a precious thing was given away just by saying so. Could it be that the other party has set his eyes on her third son?
The more Liu Cuilan thought about it, the more she believed this was the case. Otherwise, who would be willing to give so many things at once?
She couldn't help but ask, "How old is he? Is he married? What does he look like?"
Su Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered by the string of questions, but she subconsciously answered her mother's questions one by one: "She seems to be in her early forties. She was married once but divorced a long time ago. As for her appearance..."
Su Xiaoxiao thought of the photos that the bald brother sent her showing off his wealth, his shiny forehead, his nouveau riche temperament, and his greasy face. It could be summed up in two words - difficult to evaluate.
The reason why she didn't say it was ugly was because she felt bad for accepting other people's things.
After pondering for a long time, she gave a very pertinent comment: "He looks very wealthy."
About the same age as her, bald, divorced...
Liu Cuilan uncontrollably imagined the image of a nouveau riche with big gold teeth.
She swayed her body, covered her chest, and suddenly felt a little chest tightness and shortness of breath.
She doesn't care about being ugly, and she doesn't mind her poor family conditions either.
But he is old enough to be the father of the third child, and it is his second marriage. She would never agree to it even if she was beaten to death.
But... the third brother is in a good mood right now, and I guess he won’t believe anything you say.
Finally, fearing she would upset her daughter, Liu Cuilan thought for a long time before speaking: "Xiaoxiao, you're still young, so there's no need to rush into marriage. If you really want to get married, you must bring her home first so that Mom and your brothers can see her."
Su Xiaoxiao scratched her head, not knowing why her mother suddenly said this out of nowhere. She nodded, not quite understanding, "I see."
Then, he rolled up his sleeves excitedly and said, "Mom, I'm going to show you my skills tonight."
It’s not that Su Xiaoxiao is diligent, but if her mother Liu Cuilan were to do it, she would definitely not be willing to give anything away because of her stingy nature.
Due to her family's financial situation, Chen Cuilan was very frugal when cooking. She could see the bottom of the bowl when she drank porridge, and she basically relied on stewing when cooking.
She didn't want to waste such fresh seafood.
Liu Cuilan was so shocked that she didn't notice what Su Xiaoxiao said. She waved her hand and said, "Go, go."
After getting permission, Su Xiaoxiao immediately picked up the sack and ran into the kitchen.
After looking at the simple seasonings in the kitchen, she decided to make some dry-fried hairtail fish and then braised the giant pomfret. As for the sea-caught prawns, of course they would be most delicious if braised in oil.
She did it right away. She sucked her saliva and began to clean the fish and shrimp skillfully.
When Liu Cuilan suddenly realized what was happening, she slapped her thigh and rushed into the small kitchen: "Third brother, just make a little less. Leave some for pickling. It will last until the New Year..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Su Xiaoxiao had already swiftly gutted the fish and thrown it into the crackling frying pan.
Even the prawns and hairtail have been cleaned and are ready to be put into the pot.
Liu Cuilan felt so distressed. How could her daughter make such an old thing and use so much oil?
Oh, this prodigal child.
Although she felt sad, when the food was served, Liu Cuilan swallowed uncontrollably. It tasted so delicious.
This was the first time in her life that she had eaten such a luxurious meal.
Looking at the table full of seafood, Liu Cuilan couldn't help but sigh that this was all thanks to her third son.
The old woman used to say that her third child was a disaster star, but now it seems that the old woman was talking nonsense, and her daughter is obviously a lucky star.
If it weren't for her, she would never be able to eat so well in her life.
As soon as the food was served on the table, two little brothers came in after smelling the food.
The bus in the city had to stop at several stations and then reverse through the town on its way back, so they got home almost an hour later than their third sister.
As soon as we entered the house, we smelled a strong fragrance, and we immediately rubbed our hands excitedly.
When entering, he did not forget to lock the gate.
The family was sitting around the table, preparing to enjoy a seafood feast, when suddenly someone banged on the gate.
