Chapter 364 Sea Cucumber
He was quite polite. If three people had not rushed forward and grabbed him and started beating him up after Su Xiaoxiao said this, Sun Wenbing would have almost believed it.
An hour later, a neighbor helped to report the case to the town police station.
When the two public security comrades arrived on their 28-inch bicycles, they saw Sun Wenbing tied up tightly on the ground.
Because the fire had not yet been lit, Sun Wenbing was only taken away and detained by the public security comrades, who said he would be back in a week.
It was the uncooperative matches and lighter that saved him, otherwise the punishment would have been different once the fire started.
By the time the public security comrades took the people away, the two little brothers also came back.
As soon as they saw Su Xiaoxiao, they immediately rushed over excitedly, unable to hide the joy on their faces.
What's going on with these two? Why do they seem so happy today?
Under the surprised gazes of several people, Su Jianwu cleared his throat, took out the certificate with a proud look on his face and stuffed it into Su Xiaoxiao's hand: "Third sister, this is the certificate I just gave you. I ranked eighth in the class. Let me show you."
Su Jianwen also silently handed over a certificate. Su Xiaoxiao unfolded it and saw, wow! Wow, third place.
Liu Cuilan stood nearby and took a glance. She wondered if smoke was coming out of her ancestral grave.
Both of these naughty kids actually made it into the top ten in the class.
No, she went to her family’s ancestral grave to burn paper and thank her ancestors for their blessings.
Su Xiaoxiao carefully looked at the two certificates and confirmed that they were not fake before speaking: "Not bad! I actually made it into the top ten."
She gave them a thumbs-up.
Su Jianwu stepped forward, took her arm and shook it, and asked in a low voice: "Third sister, what did you promise us..."
They have been studying very hard during this period, and even have to memorize two groups of words before going to the toilet at night.
"That's right. Come to my room after dinner to find me."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the two of them actually studied hard. Not only did they study, but the results were also pretty good.
She is a sister who keeps her word. If she says she will invest in the two of them, she must invest.
The two little brothers were so happy that they jumped up excitedly hand in hand and gave each other a hug.
Liu Cuilan was also very happy as she had seen the efforts of both children during this period.
As soon as he gets home from school, he goes straight into the house and reads books when he has nothing to do. He won't go out even if others call him.
"I'm happy today. Mom will make braised pork for you tonight."
She was really happy from the bottom of her heart that her two children finally knew how to study hard.
Putting down the hoe, she turned and went into the small kitchen.
Some time ago, a family in the village shared three pounds of pork, which Liu Cuilan had kept in the cellar, intending to save for entertaining guests during the Chinese New Year.
But she was in a good mood today, so she planned to make half of it to improve the meals for the children.
When they heard that there was meat to eat, the two little brothers jumped for joy.
Liu Cuilan went to cook, and Xu Zhaodi and Su Pandi followed to help. The two little brothers coaxed Xiao Shitou to play in the yard.
Su Xiaoxiao took the time to return to her room, entered the small space warehouse, and took out two kilograms of sea cucumbers.
Wild sea cucumbers are not big in size, but they are of excellent quality.
She found a basin, filled it with cold water, and poured all the sea cucumbers into it.
The two little brothers heard the noise, came over with Little Stone in their arms, and watched curiously as she poured all the sea cucumbers into the basin.
Su Jianwu was puzzled: "Third sister, what is this? Why is it all black?"
Su Jianwen also blinked his big eyes with a curious look on his face.
The thing in the basin was black and covered with thorns, looking a bit strange.
"This is called sea cucumber. It's nutritious and delicious."
Su Xiaoxiao briefly explained to the two of them.
When Su Jianwu heard that it was delicious, his eyes immediately lit up.
He reached out, picked one up and stuffed it directly into his mouth, so fast that Su Xiaoxiao didn't have time to stop him.
The next second, Su Jianwu pursed his lips and spat out the food: "Third sister, you are lying. This thing is so hard that my front teeth almost fell out. It has no taste and is terrible."
Su Xiaoxiao felt so painful when she saw the sea cucumber that fell to the ground and was covered in dirt.
Such a precious thing was actually wasted by this bad boy. It could be sold for two hundred dollars if it were put up for sale!
But she felt disgusted if she picked it up and continued to go to the bar, but it would hurt if she didn't pick it up.
After hesitating for a moment, she ordered, "Lao Wu, this thing is only 20 cents a piece, pick it up quickly."
"Huh? This one's not even as long as my finger, and it's 20 cents each?"
Su Jianwu's eyes widened. "Third sister, are you kidding me? This little thing costs only 20 cents?"
"What good would it be for me to lie to you?"
Su Xiaoxiao snorted and continued to clean the sea cucumber.
When Su Jianwu thought about how he had just spit out two cents, he felt a pang of pain and wanted to slap himself twice.
He hurriedly picked up the sea cucumber on the ground and wiped it again and again on his clothes.
Su Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of his action and her brows twitched.
If I'm not mistaken, Lao Wu's clothes are not much cleaner than the ground.
Finally, Su Jianwu felt that it was not wiped clean enough, so he used his fingers dipped in saliva to wipe off the remaining dust on the sea cucumber.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
"Third sister, I've cleaned it. Should I put it in this basin?"
Su Jianwu rushed over holding the sea cucumber like he was presenting a treasure, and was about to throw the picked sea cucumber into the basin.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly moved the basin away.
If she really let him throw it in, she wouldn't want the whole pot anymore.
"Go away, go find a bowl for yourself to soak your food in. It's all covered in saliva and it's disgusting."
Su Jianwu immediately looked aggrieved: "Third sister, you actually think I'm disgusting. Two years ago, you even chewed your rice for me to eat."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
This really wasn't done by her, it was done by the original owner.
At that time, Liu Cuilan went out early and came back late to earn money. Her two brothers were also busy working to make money, so the task of taking care of the two younger brothers fell on her.
At that time, the two children were too young to eat hard food, so the original owner chewed the steamed buns and food into pieces and fed them bite by bite.
Although it was not Su Xiaoxiao who did it, it was the same body, and Su Xiaoxiao immediately had an image in her mind.
She was now extremely grateful that she had come through at a time when she was not feeding the two naughty kids, otherwise she would have vomited on the spot.
"Ahem...Mom, is the meal ready?"
Seeing Liu Cuilan coming out of the small kitchen, she felt as if she had been pardoned and quickly changed the subject.
When he heard that the meal was ready, the foodie Su Jianwu's attention was immediately diverted. He sniffed hard: "It smells so good, I smell meat."
Very good, now this brat’s mind and eyes are filled with braised pork.
"I'll be right there."
Liu Cuilan responded and walked over to look at the sea cucumber Su Xiaoxiao was soaking in the basin with confusion, "What is this pitch-black thing?"
"Mom, this is called sea cucumber. It's very nutritious whether you make soup or stir-fry it. When I soak it, you can throw some in the porridge every time."
Liu Cuilan nodded. She was no longer surprised that her third daughter would bring back some rare things from time to time.
Alas, there's nothing I can do about it. It's because her daughter is so capable.
Soon the food was on the table and the family sat around it. Just as they were about to start eating, there was a sudden knock on the door.
