Chapter 184 A Gentleman Uses Words, Not Actions
The whole family was extremely satisfied with this meal.
Especially the two little brothers, they looked like they had never eaten in their lives, even the bottom of the plate was soaked with steamed buns.
Su Jianwu burped contentedly and touched his bulging belly: "It would be great if our family could eat this well every day."
Su Jianwen slapped him in the face: "Wake up, stop dreaming. I have to burn incense to be able to eat this much for a month."
As Liu Cuilan cleared the table, she said, "If you two work hard for me and bring back a certificate for being in the top three, so that your mother and I can be proud of ourselves in the village, I promise to prepare a better table for you."
Su Jianwu licked the corner of his mouth and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to get first place, it's that he doesn't allow us to get first place in the class."
Liu Cuilan glared: "What does your score have to do with being the first in your class?"
Su Jianwu said, "He always used his elbow to block me from cheating during the exam. Otherwise, I would have definitely secured a place in the top three..."
He was talking non-stop when he noticed that the atmosphere around him seemed a little off.
Su Jianwen silently moved the stool to the side and looked at him with an expression that said, "You're dead."
Su Xiaoxiao very tactfully picked up the broom beside her and handed it to Liu Cuilan with both hands: "Mom, please."
Su Jianwu realized what he was about to face and jumped up from the stool with a yell: "Mom, Mom, I was just teasing you. Our teacher said that a gentleman should use words, not fists... Ah... Ah... It hurts..."
Before she could finish her words, she screamed. Liu Cuilan raised the broom high in the air and sneered, "Didn't your teacher tell you not to offend your own mother easily? This is what happens to you!"
Su Jianwu covered his butt and jumped three feet high: "Mom, Mom, I was wrong. I will never copy the first place again."
Liu Cuilan continued to glare: "You can't cheat no matter how high your ranking!"
After a burst of howling, Liu Cuilan put away the broom, and Su Jianwu covered his red buttocks with tears in his eyes.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Liu Cuilan had just cleared the dining table when someone knocked on the gate.
She wondered, "Third brother, didn't you bring anything for the others today?"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the wall clock. It was only a little past six. Could it be that the washing machine she ordered arrived so quickly?
Just as he was thinking about it, Su Jianwen had already run over and opened the door.
Grandma Liu stood at the door with a smile on her face, holding an aluminum lunch box with three big round buns squeezed together inside.
When she brought back the sewing machine just now, her daughter-in-law was almost overjoyed. She had just made some meat buns at home, so she asked Grandma Liu to send a few over to thank her.
Liu Cuilan also went out to greet them at this time. Grandma Liu stuffed the lunch box into her hands and said, "Cuilan, your Xiaoxiao has helped my family so much, and I don't have anything good to give her. It just so happens that we just made some meat buns at home, and my daughter-in-law asked me to bring some for you to try. Don't be disgusted."
"Auntie, look at what you're saying. It's just a small favor for neighbors, why are you being so polite? No one is well off these days. You should take these buns back and give them to the two little ones."
As she was about to return the lunch box, Grandma Liu immediately became unhappy: "Cui Lan, if you keep doing this, I won't be able to ask your Xiao Xiao for help in the future."
After saying that, Grandma Liu turned around and left, her two bound feet walking very fast.
Liu Cuilan had no choice but to put the buns away. When she turned around, she met Su Jianwu's fiery gaze.
He stared at the buns in the lunch box and licked his lips: "Mom, these buns won't taste good if they get cold tomorrow, or..."
Liu Cuilan slapped him on the head without any hesitation: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is to eat. Even Zhu Bajie, even his reincarnation, couldn't eat as much as you do. It's only been a few minutes since you finished your meal, why are you hungry again?"
Su Jianwu pursed his lips and muttered quietly: "Isn't this for getting beaten?"
"Do you want me to beat you up again so you can digest it and finish all three buns?"
Su Jianwu immediately didn't dare to say a word. It was really painful to be hit by the broom. His butt was still throbbing with pain, so he didn't dare to cause trouble again.
"Mom, I was just kidding. My fourth brother and I are going back to the room to do our homework."
After Su Jianwu finished speaking, he immediately covered his butt with one hand, pulled Su Jianwen into the house with the other hand.
Liu Cuilan was about to carry the buns into the house when she heard the old lady's voice coming from the west wing.
"My eldest daughter-in-law, I want to eat meat buns. Please bring me two."
Zhao Chunhua had been eating well and wearing warm clothes at Su Xiaoxiao's house these days. After two days of comfortable life, she started to become arrogant and domineering again.
He was very rude when giving orders to people.
Liu Cuilan was too lazy to pay attention to her and snorted coldly: "Mom, these meat buns are given to Xiaoxiao. If you want to eat them, you should ask Xiaoxiao's opinion first."
"She's just a little girl. It's not her turn to speak in this family. Send me two quickly. I'm still hungry."
Zhao Chunhua has been unable to move around easily due to a stroke and has been spending most of her time lying on the kang, eating and sleeping.
The meat is growing on the body day by day, and the appetite is getting bigger and bigger. It is about to catch up with the sows that can be slaughtered.
Upon hearing this, Liu Cuilan's face immediately fell: "What's wrong with you, little girl? You still rely on me, a little girl? You've been sick for so many days, has your precious little son ever come to see you? Has he ever brought you anything?"
Zhao Chunhua was almost choked by her words and could hardly breathe.
She was really craving for meat, but Liu Cuilan was reluctant to let her eat more, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
But she couldn't go out, and she couldn't scold him, so she could only be angry.
If it had been in the past, she would have beaten and scolded Liu Cuilan, but now she still had to rely on Liu Cuilan to take care of her, so she could only swallow her anger.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao still in a daze, Liu Cuilan said, "Don't bother with your grandma. She's having trouble moving around right now. She ate too much meat and can't go to the toilet."
What Liu Cuilan said is true. Patients who have been bedridden for a long time are indeed not suitable to eat too much meat, as it can easily cause constipation.
She knew that Comrade Liu Cuilan was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, otherwise she wouldn't have taken in her cheap grandma.
Just as the two were about to enter the house, there was another knock on the door.
Liu Cuiran wondered, "Who's coming here at this hour?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the clock in the main room. The hands were pointing exactly at half past six.
She thought to herself, this must be her washing machine arriving.
She hurriedly said, "I guess it's the washing machine I bought that's been delivered."
Liu Cuilan was confused: "What chicken? I've already eaten, why would I buy chicken?"
"Whose did you buy it from? I'll tell someone I don't want it for now."
As she spoke, Liu Cuilan opened the gate.
As soon as I opened it, I saw a large cardboard box more than half a person's height placed right in front of the courtyard gate.
