Chapter 286 Fragrant Peanut Oil
"It's over, our mother is back. If she sees us being so reckless, won't she beat us to death?"
At this point, he suddenly thought of something, straightened his back, and patted his chest to assure, "Third sister, don't worry, I'll tell Mom that I stole the oil, and I won't let Mom beat you."
Su Jianwen nodded: "Third sister, there is me."
Su Xiaoxiao thought that her love for these two boys was not in vain, but it probably wouldn't be needed. The sweet potato balls were fried, and she just had to put the pot away when the two boys weren't paying attention.
Although the oil was not stolen, if her mother saw her wasting it like this, she would probably scold her.
While the two were looking outside, Su Xiaoxiao quickly took out the fried sweet potato balls, and put the pot and oil into the small warehouse. That was it.
As soon as Liu Cuilan entered the yard, she smelled a fragrant scent.
She squinted her eyes. This is... peanut oil!
Those two naughty kids actually stole oil behind her back again! Last time, they used up half a can of oil for her, and she almost had a heart attack because of the pain.
He skillfully picked up the broom and shouted angrily, "Su Jianwen, Su Jianwu, both of you get out here!"
A roar resounded throughout the courtyard. Su Jianwu trembled and tugged at Su Jianwen's sleeve: "Fourth brother, how about you go first?"
Su Jianwen said politely, "You go first."
As the two of them stared at each other, Liu Cuilan kicked the door open and appeared at the door with a broom in her hand, looking very aggressive.
"Tell me, what are you two doing with peanut oil again?"
Su Jianwu saw the knot on the broom in his mother's hand, and his legs began to tremble reflexively. But thinking of the promise he made to his third sister, he tried to straighten his back: "Yes, it was my fourth brother and I who did it. Mom, can you beat me?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but add, "Can you just spank me?"
There is less flesh in other places and it hurts more.
Liu Cuilan tapped the broom knob in her palm and sneered, "You two wait for a moment. I'll go see how much is missing."
The amount of oil you have left determines where you hit and how hard you hit.
"Aren't you following?"
Seeing that the two were still in a daze, Liu Cuilan shouted again.
The two didn't dare to refute and followed obediently.
Su Xiaoxiao also followed with two plates full of taro and sweet potato balls.
Liu Cuilan was so concerned about her peanut oil that she didn't notice there was another person behind her.
The group headed straight for the oil tank.
Liu Cuilan grabbed the broom handle and lifted the lid with trembling hands, then... she was stunned.
The jar is completely full. It's not missing anything, it's clearly overflowing. What's going on? Is there a thief in the house?
No, who’s house would a thief not steal things and send things home?
Su Xiaoxiao spoke up at this time: "Mom, today the director of the city detergent factory gave me a bucket of peanut oil and some shampoo, soap and other things to thank me for providing the formula for their factory. I just poured them into the jar."
In other words, the fragrance I smelled just now was because the third brother was pouring oil?
Liu Cuilan turned her head to look at Su Xiaoxiao suspiciously, then glared at the two younger brothers: "Why didn't you two admit your mistakes?"
The two of them had never expected this development. They were both prepared for Eaton to beat them up, but it ended like this?
By the way, when did the third sister hide the pot and oil? She even poured oil into the oil can, making them think...
Su Xiaoxiao coughed twice and touched her nose. Wasn't it because her mother was too fast and she didn't have time?
"Mom, Director Li brought me some delicious food. Come and try some! They're fresh out of the pot and smell delicious."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly lifted the taro and sweet potato balls up as if she was presenting a treasure.
Liu Cuilan's attention was attracted by two plates full of golden meatballs. Wow, no wonder they smelled so good, it turned out to be this thing.
Director Li sent food and other things, could it be that he is interested in the third child in her family?
Otherwise, why would they give away such precious peanut oil and a full jar of it?
Liu Cuilan looked at Su Xiaoxiao with increasingly strange eyes. Sensing her mother's dangerous thoughts, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped her, "Mom, Director Li is about the same age as you, and his daughter is almost as old as me. His factory is profitable, and he's generous."
It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Liu Cuilan cleared her throat and couldn't help but say, "Director Li is quite a nice person."
"Who says it isn't?"
Su Xiaoxiao put the sweet potato balls on the table and picked up the net bag she had put aside and spread it on the table.
There were a lot of bottles and jars inside.
Liu Cuilan asked in disbelief: "Are these all gifts from others?"
"no."
Su Xiaoxiao said.
Liu Cuilan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't the case, otherwise she really couldn't afford to repay such a big favor with her family's financial situation.
However, before she could relax, she heard Su Xiaoxiao say, "There are others. I'll give some to my colleagues."
Liu Cuilan: “…”
"Well...how about you invite the factory director over some other day, and I'll cook for them myself?"
She asked tentatively. She really didn't know how to repay the other person for such a big favor. The other person probably wouldn't look down on their things given their conditions. The only thing she could show off was her cooking skills.
This girl is really something. How can she ask for so many things from others?
Seeing her mother's nervousness, Su Xiaoxiao explained, "Mom, you don't know, their factory has made a lot of money recently because of my shampoo formula, so they deserve to give me these things."
"Director Li said that if I like it in the future, he will give it to me again, so you can keep it without worry."
After she finished speaking, she waved to Xu Zhaodi and Su Pandi who were standing beside her and said, "Sister Zhaodi, Pandi, come here and take a look. If there's anything you like, feel free to take it."
Xu Zhaodi hurriedly shook her head: "Xiaoxiao, I'm wasting such a good thing."
"Sister, I'm not used to it, so you should use it."
Su Pandi also refused. In the past, she was not qualified to use things like shampoo and shampoo powder at home. She could only use wood ash to clean it occasionally.
"Come and choose, or I'll get angry."
Su Xiaoxiao deliberately puffed out her cheeks, looking angry.
The two of them looked at each other, then moved closer, just staring at each other without taking any action.
When Liu Cuilan saw the two of them like this, she felt heartbroken.
No matter how poor her family's conditions were, they always gave the best to their only daughter, the third child. Although her food, clothing and other necessities were not good, she never lacked anything.
These two girls are poor children.
"Alright, we're all family. If Xiaoxiao asks you to pick, just pick quickly. Why be so formal?"
As soon as Liu Cuilan finished speaking, Su Jianwu looked at the golden sweet potato balls next to him and began to swallow his saliva: "Sister, you guys hurry up and divide them up. After you divide them up, let's eat the sweet potato balls. I'm starving."
He is not interested in these women's things and just wants to eat something delicious quickly. This smells good, but I wonder what it tastes like.
Liu Cuilan slapped Su Jianwu on the back of the head and said, "Come here and get me some soap. Forget about the shampoo. Just use the cheapest soap. Rub the dust off your body. It's like you're pulling it out of the dust every day. It's so dirty."
Su Jianwu curled his lips: "Mom, how can I be dirty? I just took a shower last month and it was clean."
