The Su family had noodles for lunch today. In order to shorten the cooking time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together.
Xu Guixiang was in charge of rolling out the noodles. The flour was mixed with other noodles, making it look black.
Xu Guixiang stuck her butt out and rolled very hard.
Rolling noodles is a strenuous job. For a family of more than ten people, if you roll them all out at once, your arms will be terribly sore.
He Ailian stood by the stove, holding a spoon and a spatula in her hand, turning the chicken in the pot from time to time.
In order to make the meal more flavorful, Mrs. Su made an exception today and agreed to use a little more oil when frying the chicken.
The aroma of the chicken wafted far away, and passers-by couldn't help but take a deep breath when passing by their door.
The taste is really delicious.
After the chicken is fried until both sides are golden brown, add a large pot of water and start boiling. Add green onions, ginger, and the ten spices that are ubiquitous in the countryside and cook for more than half an hour until the chicken is soft. Then put the rolled noodles in and cook them. Finally, add a handful of green vegetables.
When the noodles and vegetables are cooked, the rice is ready.
Several children had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they heard that dinner was ready, they ran back to the main room and sat down.
When bowls of noodles were placed in front of everyone, Old Man Su said, "Eat!" Everyone picked up their bowls and slurped the noodles in their bowls, not caring that the rice was hot.
Just by listening to the sound, you can tell how delicious today's meal is.
Su Wan was eating half a chicken in the kitchen. She was not hungry yet. Seeing Sangou eating so happily, she quietly put all the chicken in her bowl into Su Sangou's bowl.
Su Sangou was so happy that he said thank you to Su Wan with a grin that showed one of his front teeth was missing. The maids in the first and third rooms couldn't help but look at Su Sangou with envy.
Xu Guixiang felt sorry for her daughter and tried to stop it when she saw it.
"Wanwan, why did you give all the meat to Sangou?"
After saying that, he shouted to Su San Gou: "San Gou, quickly return the meat in your bowl to your sister."
"Mom, I don't really want to eat meat. Let San Gou eat it."
Seeing San Gou picking up a piece of meat and preparing to put it in her bowl, Su Wan quickly picked up her own bowl.
"San Gou, just eat your meal. Since she gave it to you, then you really don't want to eat it. Stop pinching it back and forth. If it falls to the ground, no one can eat it."
Old Mrs. Su favors San Gou and doesn't hide it at all.
Xu Guixiang couldn't help but say, "Wanwan, you worked so hard to catch this chicken. I can't bear it if you don't eat some. Come, I'll give you what's in my bowl."
As Xu Guixiang spoke, she picked up a piece of meat and wanted to give it to Su Wan. Su Wan sighed helplessly. As a mother, she loved her daughter very much and was not vague at all.
"Mom, I really don't want to eat meat today. Some noodles will make me feel good. Eat your food and don't bother me anymore."
"You guys have eaten a lot of delicious food in the city, and they are full of fat. I'm telling you, old man, if you don't like meat, you can give it to San Gou."
As long as Xu Guixiang gets used to her daughter, Old Lady Su will definitely hate her.
Although Sangou was spoiled by Old Lady Su, he was still very sensible. After hearing what Old Lady Su said, he rushed to Xu Guixiang and said, "Mom, you eat it. I don't want it. Give me all the meat in Sister's bowl. I have enough."
Even after the old lady said that, Xu Guixiang still put the piece of meat on the chopsticks into Xiao Sangou's bowl before she picked up the bowl and started eating.
After dinner, everyone went to rest.
At the door, a few children called Sangou to go out and play. Su Wan heard the commotion and stopped Sangou.
"Tell them you have something else to do and come back to play later."
San Gou didn't know what she was going to do, but he still did what Su Wan said.
After hearing this, the children told San Gou a place and asked him to find them later. After San Gou agreed, the children ran away together.
"Sister, what do you want?"
Su Wan pulled San Gou into her room and whispered to him, "San Gou, can you help me get some wheat?"
San Gou scratched his head, a little puzzled, "What do you want wheat for? You don't eat it."
"Don't worry about it. I'm useful anyway. If you want to get it for me, I'll go to the city to buy you something delicious tomorrow."
When Sangou heard that there was delicious food, he immediately agreed.
"I'll go to the milk house and steal some for you." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go out.
Su Wan quickly pulled him and said, "It's better not to let grandma find out. If she finds out, don't tell her that I asked you to take it. Got it?"
"Okay, I know."
San Gou agreed immediately, turned around and ran out.
Su Wan was a little worried, so she opened the curtains and looked in.
The east room of the main house was where Old Lady Su lived, the middle room was the main hall, and the west room was where Xu Guixiang and her husband lived.
Su Wan stood in front of the window and watched Su Sangou walk to the door of the main room and then tiptoe into the room to the east.
She was still very nervous, fearing that if Old Lady Su caught Su Sangou, the young man would not be able to withstand the pressure and betray her.
Old Mrs. Su valued food more than her life. Every day she would lock the door of her room when she went in and out. If you asked her about it, she really didn't know how to explain it.
If 땣 could buy it with money, Su Wan would definitely not let San Gou do such a thing.
These days, supply and marketing cooperatives only sell vegetable seeds, not grain seeds.
The seeds used by the production team were all kept by themselves.
Every year when the crops are about to be harvested, the team leader will bring the village's experienced growers to the fields to select them one by one.
Just like wheat seeds, they will choose a wheat field with large wheat ears, full grains, and no pests and diseases as the seeds for the next year.
The seeds are passed down in this way, generation after generation.
Not to mention that the supply and marketing cooperatives don't sell seeds, even if they do, no one would buy them.
Since you already have it at home, who would spend money to buy someone else's? Isn't that stupid?
Su Wan kept staring out the window, and her ears involuntarily perked up to listen for any movement.
Not bad, until Su Sangou came out of the house, he didn't hear the voice of Old Lady Su. It seemed that Su Sangou succeeded.
As soon as she walked out of the door, Su Sangou ran towards her quickly.
Su Wan quickly opened the door, and after Su Sangou came in, she quickly locked the door and drew the curtains tightly.
The pockets on both sides of San Gou's pants were stuffed bulging, but unfortunately the pockets were too small, and even if all the money was poured out, there would only be about one kilogram.
"Sister, what on earth do you want to do with this? Do you have to grind it into powder before eating it?"
Sangou thought that his sister grew up in the city and probably didn't know how to eat wheat, so he gave her some basic knowledge.
"Yeah, I know, kids shouldn't ask so many questions.
But, San Gou, I have something to tell you, stealing wheat from the milk house is actually wrong. "
Su Wan felt that San Gou was still young and his sense of right and wrong had not yet been formed, so she needed to explain this bad behavior to him so that he would not make a mistake because of this small matter.
Sangou looked at her with his big eyes, not quite understanding what she meant.
Su Wan continued, "Sister Wang really had no better way to get the seeds, so she resorted to this last resort.
This is a secret between us two siblings, and it will only happen once. Don't do this again, understand?"
"Sister, I know stealing is wrong, but this is our own home, so we shouldn't steal it, right?"
"No, even if it's from your own house, taking it without the permission of the boss is stealing, so don't do this kind of thing in the future, whether outside or at home, understand?"
Su Sangou nodded and said, "Okay, sister, I'll remember that I won't touch anything without other people's permission."
"Yes, very good." Su Wan rubbed his head.
The young man is taught.
