She took a liking to it at first sight.
"Cold salad".
"You, you brat..."
…
That evening, Aunt Xiao prepared a feast to celebrate her youngest son's return.
Not only did they have the planned braised green beans, stir-fried cucumbers, and stir-fried bok choy, but they also scooped out six salted duck eggs from the small earthenware jar used for pickling salted duck eggs.
There are eleven people in my family.
One for each person.
Her youngest son is alone.
There was also a plate of chicken stew with mushrooms on the table.
She hardened her heart and killed a hen that was laying eggs.
They also made dumplings with chive and egg filling.
Dumplings when getting off the train, noodles when getting on.
That's their custom.
Eleven people sat around a large octagonal table.
Despite being crammed together, the four children managed to finish their chicken and salted duck eggs, then grabbed a few dumplings and disappeared.
"Third Uncle, you're really amazing! You saved Su Zhiqing as soon as you got back!" After everyone had almost finished eating, the eldest sister-in-law, Zhang Hehua, began to tease her third brother.
"Who? Su Zhiqing!" Xiao Yichen immediately grasped the key point.
"You said that San'er saved Su Zhiqing today." Aunt Xiao's long face disappeared.
A look of surprise on his face.
That night, the thought of her beloved son marrying a woman of unknown origin filled her with heartache.
Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Su Zhiqing.
"Dad, are there any other educated youth from Jiangsu in our village?" Xiao Yichen asked his father, looking up at him.
The old man picked up his small wine cup, took a sip of wine, and then slowly said, "Yes, there are two. But the one that fell into the river came to our house today and brought a lot of seeds. Your mother likes her very much. She just arrived today."
It's just bad luck; they fell into the river as soon as they arrived here.
Thank goodness you rescued me, otherwise what would I have done?
Something really might happen.
He won't get anything good out of it either.
Xiao Yichen is devastated!
...
He turned to look at his mother and called out, "Mom..." in such a sweet voice.
His face was full of flattery.
Aunt Xiao ignored him.
Eat meat, eat meat.
She didn't eat much just now.
"Mom, why don't you go and talk to her about it for me tomorrow?" Xiao Yichen wasn't afraid of his mother's cold face.
“No, I’m not going. Who said Su Zhiqing wasn’t good enough? I’m not going.”
"Mom, please go there for me," Xiao Yichen said, starting to sound like he was trying to coax her.
If his soldiers saw this...
It'll scare you to death.
What is their deputy battalion commander trying to do?!
"No, no, no..." Aunt Xiao continued to refuse.
You think you're so arrogant?
"Where are you going? What are you going to do?" The old captain was completely confused.
"Let's go and propose marriage to Su, the educated youth!" Aunt Xiao said calmly.
As a result, everyone at the table was stunned by the explosion.
Su, an educated youth? A marriage proposal?
