Chapter 36: Did your family find another matchmaker? (1/2)



The next morning, Su Tangxue walked around the kitchen and found that there was nothing else except two eggs.

Her eyebrows twitched. If Lu Qinglin didn't keep the meal, he really wouldn't keep it either.

If she fails to cook, she will have to eat egg cake with her grandma at noon.

In the morning, she told her grandmother about what happened last night when Niu Erhua came to their house to make trouble. Her grandmother did not seem surprised after hearing it.

On the contrary, his eyes were dull, with a hint of sadness in them.

Her father had mentioned before that Lu Qinglin's grandmother used to be the daughter of a landlord. During those years when the landlords were being fought, her family was wiped out. Because of her bad family background, her grandmother was sold to Lu Qinglin's grandfather at a very low price.

From then on, Grandma Lu, who was originally a rich lady, began to learn to do farm work. When she was young, she gave birth to three sons and raised them with great difficulty. However, the first two sons got married and forgot about their mother. They began to blame Grandma Lu for her bad character.

Grandma Lu has not been happy living with her two sons in the past few years. She mentioned that her eldest daughter-in-law beat her to deafness in one ear.

Su Tangxue looked out from the kitchen to the yard. Grandma was neatly dressed, her hair combed meticulously, and she was sitting quietly under the eaves.

The upbringing that comes from within is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Returning to the topic, Su Tangxue glanced at the matches in her hand, looked up at the ceiling, and finally sighed deeply.

Thinking that the house wouldn't be set on fire, Su Tangxue dropped the match.

The flame lit up, but before she could get excited, the next second the match ran out.

The smile on the corner of her mouth fell, and then she began to slide the second match. Following Lu Qinglin's instructions, Su Tangxue took the withered bamboo shoots and lit them, then quickly placed them on the stove.

She took every step carefully, afraid that the fire would go out again.

But even though she was careful, the fire on the stove went out before she could add a small stick to extinguish it.

He sighed tiredly and began to repeat his previous actions.

After repeating this several times and wasting more than a dozen matches, Su Tangxue felt that the idea of setting the house on fire was unnecessary.

This job is not like solving a problem, and just following the same method may not work.

Helpless, she could only invite her grandmother in.

Yun Xiangrui took a look, placed a few small wooden sticks on the stove, smiled and blew a few breaths into it, and the flame miraculously ignited.

Su Tangxue was stunned by this.

It's actually possible.

The fire was lit, and Su Tangxue started to cook lunch. There was nothing to eat at home, so she simply beat two eggs into the pot.

Because she had never cooked before, the eggs were burnt on the side that stuck to the iron pan. She hurriedly added salt and soy sauce, stir-fried them a few times, and then served.

Looking at the scrambled eggs that looked neither appetizing nor charcoal black in color, Su Tangxue fell into deep thought.

"Xiaoxue, are you home?"

Huang Guiying's voice came into her ears through the door.

Su Tangxue put the eggs down and took out some matches from the stove before she opened the door with confidence.

"Aunt Huang, why are you here?"

Su Tangxue was pleasantly surprised to see Huang Guiying.

"Nothing much. My wife caught a few fish in the Xi River this morning, and I thought I'd send one to you."

Hearing this, her eyes fell on the fish in Huang Guiying's hand. She felt tired of eating pork these days, so it would be nice to try something different.

But the grass carp looked to weigh four pounds, which was a bit too big for her and would be a bit of a waste to make fish soup.

"Auntie, is this fish too big?"

"Xiaoxue, your uncle specifically picked out the bigger ones. You've given us a lot these past few days, so we can't treat you unfairly. Take them! I'll stew some sauerkraut with them, and they'll taste amazing."

Su Tangxue thought about it and decided that the pickled fish was indeed quite good.

She no longer refused and quickly accepted it, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Don't be polite to my sister-in-law. Do you have any pickled cabbage at home? We made a lot of it last year, and we still have some!"

Su Tangxue recalled the last time she fried pickled cabbage, which tasted really good, but the pickled fish was not good without the pickled cabbage.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll get some from your house. Thanks for the trouble."
