Su Ruobai handed the enamel basin in her hand to Aunt Xiao.
She smiled and said, "Auntie, I've already eaten. I went to the commune today, but I couldn't buy any meat. So I bought a few ribs and had someone make me a pot of rib soup."
"There's quite a lot, I can't drink it all. It's too hot today, and it won't keep for long, so I brought it for my aunt to try."
Su Ruobai could feel how kind Aunt Xiao was to her.
She accepted.
They also made sacrifices.
Then.
We owe each other nothing.
Aunt Xiao didn't hear what her third daughter-in-law was saying at all.
She was so focused on seeing her third daughter-in-law's smiling face.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Her third daughter-in-law is as beautiful as a fairy from heaven.
This doesn't look like her daughter-in-law at all!
Oh my goodness, this is her little darling!
Seeing that Aunt Xiao didn't move or reply, Su Ruobai just stared at her.
He quickly called out again.
"Auntie, here's some soup for you!"
Aunt Xiao then came to her senses.
"Okay, okay..."
Thinking about it, something's not right. Her daughter-in-law brought her soup.
It was her future daughter-in-law who brought her the soup.
Last time it was pheasants and mushrooms.
This time it's pork rib soup.
Oh my!
She's so lucky.
Having such a wonderful daughter-in-law.
People used to say she was lucky, but she didn't believe it.
If you're lucky, you might not even have an old maid.
So that's what they were waiting for her here.
She's more filial than any other family's eldest daughter!
“Auntie…” Su Ruobai saw that her Aunt Xiao was in a daze again.
He quickly shouted it again.
I couldn't help but wonder: Is this auntie having some kind of mental illness?
Aunt Xiao snapped out of her daze, her face beaming with joy.
"Oh, Auntie, please accept this. Su, you've come at a bad time. San isn't home; he's in your little courtyard! He just put up a canopy with plastic sheeting a few days ago and painted the walls with whitewash. Today he said he's going to put a cement floor on it. I don't know what he's thinking..."
They don't call me Xiao Su anymore!
Her daughter-in-law treated her with filial piety.
She'll definitely keep it.
This girl brought ribs; one reason is that she genuinely cares for her, and the other is probably that she misses her family.
Yes, we met yesterday.
Should Xiao Su go over and take a look? Sigh, she can't just say it outright.
Otherwise, the child will feel uncomfortable.
She could only mention her third son a few more times in front of Xiao Su.
That's how young people are; they miss each other terribly if they don't see each other for even a day.
She's been through it all; she understands!
Aunt Xiao smiled meaningfully.
Su Ruobai looked completely bewildered.
It's just a bowl of soup, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?
Never mind, as long as the soup is delivered!
She smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, I'm going back now!"
He left after saying that.
Aunt Xiao stood outside and watched for a long time.
Until her third daughter-in-law turned the corner and disappeared from sight.
Only then did he return to the courtyard.
Aunt Xiao looked at them and thought, "Great! They're all craning their necks and sitting up straight."
They're all waiting to eat.
He put the soup on the table and said rudely, "What's wrong with you guys? Xiao Su is already at the door, can't you go out and greet her?"
"Aren't you afraid of upsetting your third daughter-in-law, making her think the Xiao family doesn't welcome her? You're all doing this to her!"
Everyone in the courtyard had already heard that Su Ruobai had come to deliver pork rib soup.
They simply didn't show up.
Xiao Weimin looked troubled: "I'm a father-in-law, how can I go and pick up my future daughter-in-law?"
Xiao Yijing and Xiao Yiyun said, "Mom, Mom, how can we, as the eldest brother-in-law, have the nerve to talk to our brother's wife who hasn't even married into the family yet?"
Zhang Hehua said angrily, "Yesterday I tried to talk to her, but she ignored me and even made me fall! My chin was bruised and bleeding, and she didn't even help me up! Why should I talk to her? Unless she apologizes to me, I won't talk to her!"
Luo Xiaoyu lowered her head and dared not speak.
Sure enough, her sister-in-law had given birth to three sons, so she had a lot of backbone.
They dare to say anything!
Oh dear, why is she so disappointing!
Aunt Xiao frowned when she heard her eldest daughter-in-law's words: "What do you want with Xiao Su? I'm telling you, Zhang Hehua, you better stay away from my third daughter-in-law from now on!"
This idiot shouldn't go and ruin his precious baby!
Seeing that her mother-in-law was angry, Zhang Hehua shrank back and said in a low voice, "I know, Mom, but shouldn't she apologize to me?"
Aunt Xiao looked at her eldest daughter-in-law's face.
He gave a cold laugh.
"Fine, then you don't need to drink the soup today! You're looking for someone, but what right do you have to look for them!"
If you speak to a polite child like Xiao Su, she won't ignore you!
"And you were even thrown down? Maybe you threw yourself, and you're just making up an excuse to pin it on Xiao Su!"
Zhang Hehua continued to shrink her neck.
Her mother-in-law acted as if she had seen it all!
Aunt Xiao cursed under her breath.
A fool who thinks he's so clever.
He glanced at his eldest son.
You blind idiot!
Look at your spouse.
This one is the dumbest; he can't even have a daughter!
Her third son said that whether a child is a boy or a girl is only related to the man!
He rolled his eyes at his wife.
They can't even give birth to a daughter.
What use is this man to me!
...
Su Ruobai slowly walked back.
Enjoying the tranquility of this summer evening.
A gentle breeze, the setting sun, the evening glow, the rooster crowing, the chirping of insects...
There's no tension of an apocalypse, no cruelty of an apocalypse, no preparation for an apocalypse...
Everything was so carefree and comfortable, and most importantly, there was so much delicious food waiting for her to enjoy...
Just thinking about it makes me happy!
