Chapter 8: The bottom of the box is her last stubbornness
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the clothes in her hand in disbelief. It was a bright red coat with a distinctive big red flower on the chest.
This old-fashioned look, after confirming with her eyes, is something she would never wear in her entire life.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she looked at Su Wenbing: "Brother, is it possible that you bought this for our mother?"
"No, my mother definitely can't wear such a fashionable style."
Su Xiaoxiao: Brother, do you have any misunderstanding about the word fashionable?
Su Wenbing scratched his head under her stare, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory, I even bought you shoes?"
Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao became excited again: "Where is it? Let me see."
Her shoes are now open-toed and she really needs a new pair.
Su Wenbing buried his head in the bag and rummaged through it, pulling out a pair of bright red high heels with an eye-catching big red flower on the side.
Su Xiaoxiao: "Haha."
It turns out that I shouldn't have had too high expectations of her elder brother's aesthetic taste.
But you know what, when you put these shoes next to the red jacket, they look just as ugly.
Su Xiaoxiao looked like she had lost all hope in life, and her heart finally died.
She stuffed the clothes into Su Wenbing's arms and said politely, "Brother, this dress is too expensive. You should keep it for your future sister-in-law."
"Why are you being so polite to me, brother? I bought this for you. What future sister-in-law? That's nonsense. Don't listen to what they say."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she realized something was wrong and immediately became alert: "Brother, where is your sister-in-law from? What does she do?"
Su Wenbing blushed when she asked him this, and he stammered, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not the case yet."
Tsk, there's obviously something going on. She'll have to find out more when she gets the chance.
Su Wenbing blushed as he stuffed the clothes into her arms: "It's yours, and I'll buy it for you next time when I get my salary."
Holding the extremely ugly clothes and shoes, Su Xiaoxiao reluctantly accepted them, but she kept her last bit of stubbornness in the bottom of the box.
He carried the clothes into the inner room very solemnly and stuffed them under his suitcase.
"Do you like it so much? I'll buy you another one next time. I saw there's a purple one that looks nice too."
Su Wenbing looked at her and said with a smile as she seemed to be unable to let go of it.
Su Xiaoxiao: "I declined, brother."
Seeing that her brother wanted to continue the topic, she hurriedly said, "Brother, isn't the holiday in the evening? Why are you back so early?"
"I took half a day off just to buy you some clothes. I spent a long time choosing."
Do you still need to choose such ugly clothes?
Well, it is true that it takes some effort to pick the ugliest one among the good-looking ones.
Su Xiaoxiao was completely speechless. She was no longer able to comment on her elder brother's aesthetic taste.
I could only sigh: "I'm going to cook, brother, you sit down and rest for a while."
Upon hearing this, Su Wenbing's face immediately turned green, and he chased after him: "Wait a moment."
"If you're hungry, I'll cook the meal."
Su Xiaoxiao stared at him in confusion, and Su Wenbing said politely, "You're not feeling well, I'll do it."
"Brother, no need. I've been in good health recently."
Su Xiaoxiao did not suspect anything and just thought that her elder brother was really worried about her. After all, the original owner had been weak and sickly since childhood.
As she spoke, she had already entered the kitchen and began to wash rice and cut meat neatly, preparing to make braised pork rice.
The eldest brother looked on eagerly, with a constipated look on his face.
Su Xiaoxiao was frightened by his stare: "Brother, are you hungry? There are some steamed bread and dried radish over there, why don't you eat some first?"
Su Wenbing held his breath for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Third sister, why don't I do it? The last time you cooked, you almost set our house on fire."
Su Xiaoxiao: Well, the original owner was a scumbag.
She laughed awkwardly twice: "Brother, don't worry, I'm a very good cook now."
As he spoke, he had already poured the meat into the pot and started stir-frying it, his movements very skillfully.
Su Wenbing's eyes widened as he watched: "Third sister, when did you cook so well?"
"I don't know what happened, but it just clicked for me."
Su Xiaoxiao could only speak vaguely, trying to get away with it.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her elder brother staring at her with a serious face. She was suddenly shocked. Could it be that such a lame excuse meant that he was suspected?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Su Wenbing suddenly hugged her with red eyes: "Third sister, you have suffered."
Seeing his sister cooking skillfully, Su Wenbing felt sad.
In the past, when Su's father was the village chief, their family was well off. As the only girl in the family, Su Xiaoxiao didn't need to cook at all.
Of course, it wasn’t because she burned through the pot the first time she cooked.
When Liu Cuilan returned home, she saw smoke billowing from the kitchen. She froze for a moment, then said "Fuck!" to herself. She poured a basin of water and rushed in, "Quick, what's the fire?"
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Wenbing turned around at the same time, both of them looked confused: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Liu Cuilan stared at the brightly colored braised meat in the pot and put down the basin: "I was so scared. I thought the third brother was cooking again."
After saying that, he walked over and looked at the meat in the pot, and exclaimed: "Boss, I didn't realize that your cooking skills have improved."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Mom, is it possible that I stewed this meat?"
Liu Cuilan: "Are you crazy or am I? You don't even know how much water to add to steam rice, how can you stew meat?"
Seeing her obvious disbelief, Su Wenbing couldn't help but defend his third sister: "Mom, this meat was really made by my third sister. I saw it with my own eyes."
The surroundings instantly fell into dead silence. Liu Cuilan's mouth twitched as she looked at the pot of meat distressedly: "Ah, what a waste of meat."
Very good, there is no more even the most basic trust between mother and daughter.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her mother, who looked like she was about to faint from heartache, and silently picked up a piece of meat from the pot and handed it to her.
"Mom, why don't you try it first?"
Liu Cuilan looked at the shiny and tempting pork belly in front of her, swallowed her saliva, and was about to open her mouth when she remembered something.
He instructed Su Wenbing next to him: "Boss, if I faint later, there is no need to send me to the infirmary. Just give me a few more sips of cold water."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
After giving the instructions, Liu Cuilan took the meat bravely, closed her eyes, took a bite, and immediately opened her eyes in shock.
It is soft and tender when you put it in your mouth, oil will appear on your lips and teeth when you chew it, and the fragrance will linger on your tongue.
This is so delicious!
What shocked her even more was that such delicious meat was made by her third child who only knew how to cook.
At this moment, a clear and pleasant male voice came from outside the door: "Mom, what did you make? It smells so good."
Seeing that it was her second son, Su Fusheng, Liu Cuilan smiled and said, "Come and try the braised pork made by your third sister."
When Su Fusheng heard that it was his third sister who did it, he took two steps back in fear: "Mom, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to the clinic?"
The original owner cooked only twice in his life. Once he burned through the pot, and once he successfully sent his second brother Su Fusheng to the clinic.
When Su Fusheng thought about the vomiting and diarrhea he had suffered for several days, he looked constipated.
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open.
