Chapter 480 The Control Group of the 1960s' Beloved Heroine 24
Su Jianshe came out of the room carrying Su Li, and saw that the dishes were already laid out on the table in the main hall.
A stewed chicken, a dish of cold wild vegetables, an egg custard, and the staple food is two bowls of rice, one large and one small.
When Su Jianshe saw the golden chicken soup on the table, he swallowed his saliva reluctantly.
Seeing his useless look, Liu Xiaomei didn't laugh at him. She was also greedy. The past two years had been bad, and it had been a long time since she had touched any greasy food.
The last time she drank chicken soup was when she had just given birth to her daughter. Jianshe wandered around the mountains for a few days and finally caught a pheasant, intending to nourish her body. However, her mother-in-law insisted that Jianshe was able to catch the pheasant thanks to her sister-in-law.
Since it was thanks to her sister-in-law, she certainly didn't get any chicken. She only got a bowl of chicken soup mixed with half a bowl of water.
Even so, it was only after Jianshe repeatedly spoke in a nice way, saying that she needed to breastfeed her sister-in-law and needed to replenish her body, that her mother-in-law was merciful and let her drink a bowl.
Su Jianshe had no idea what Liu Xiaomei was thinking. He stared at the pheasant soup on the table and said happily, "Hey, what luck did I have today? A pie fell from the sky! Not only are there two, but there's also meat!"
Liu Xiaomei then remembered that she hadn't yet told Su Jianshe the origins of the pheasant and rabbit. She handed him a pair of chopsticks, then took her daughter in her arms and sat down. She said smugly, "Hmph, what luck? Of course it's good luck. Didn't your mother always say that Su Baozhu was very blessed and a lucky star?"
"Every time you brothers found something good in the mountains, she said it was Su Baozhu's good fortune, and told us to remember Su Baozhu's kindness, as if those things were not found by you with great effort, but were delivered to your door on their own."
Liu Xiaomei curled her lips in dissatisfaction, then said proudly, "In my opinion, my daughter is the real lucky star!!"
As she spoke, she was about to recount in detail what had happened on the mountain today. When Su Jianshe heard about the collective suicide of the chickens and rabbits, his eyes widened in shock.
"You mean, those rabbits and pheasants didn't appear with the food, but they stumbled upon you when you were digging wild vegetables in the mountains?"
Liu Xiaomei smiled and nodded, "Are you surprised? You don't know how shocked I was when I saw those pheasants and rabbits crashing into each other and dying right in front of me!"
Even though a hundred years had passed, she could still remember that scene vividly!
Su Jianshe was dumbfounded. An image of a group of pheasants and rabbits crashing into a tree instantly appeared in his mind. He grinned and nodded, "Yes, my wife is right. Our daughter is the lucky star!"
He had not thought about it in this way before, so he ignored many things that happened recently. Now after hearing what his wife said, and considering those magical things, isn't his daughter a lucky star?
On the first night his daughter returned to their room, he and his wife had no food to eat because they had angered their mother, so he found a bag of dried sweet potatoes and corn kernels in a rat hole in the room.
On the first day they separated, pheasants and rabbits suddenly appeared in the yard, and he had a prophetic dream!
It must be that God couldn't bear to see such a well-behaved daughter of his lose her parents and suffer at the hands of his mother and Su Baozhu, so he made him dream about the future and woke up his brain that was fogged by his father.
Liu Xiaomei fed the little one in her arms a small spoonful of egg custard, lowered her voice and smiled mysteriously: "Haha, there is another happy event today!"
Su Jianshe came back to his senses and smiled at Liu Xiaomei, swallowing his saliva: "Wife, if there is anything I don't know, tell me. Don't worry, I can bear it!"
Liu Xiaomei didn't keep the secret and said proudly, "Our daughter finally spoke today!"
Su Jianshe thought he was hallucinating and scratched his ears: "What did you say?"
Liu Xiaomei glared at him angrily and said unhappily, "I say, our daughter can talk now!"
Su Jianshe stood up from the stool in a flash and looked intently at Su Li, who was eating egg custard obediently. "Can my daughter speak now?"
Why is he so unbelievable?
Wasn’t my daughter born not long ago?
In his memory, his daughter seemed to have been born just a few days ago, so how come she could speak?
Isn't that something only a child who can run can do?
Seeing her father's silly look, Su Li bared her little mouth with only one tooth and mumbled, "Sigh, meat!"
Su Jianshe finally believed it and danced with joy. His daughter could really talk. Oh my god! He came over and took Su Li from Liu Xiaomei's arms, holding her up high. His laughter could be heard two miles away.
"Hahaha, Daddy's precious daughter, so smart! Call Daddy, quick, call Daddy, Daddy!"
Although Liu Xiaomei had heard her daughter speak that morning, she was still very excited when she heard it again. She came up and said, "My daughter, call me mother, mother!"
The couple persevered in teaching Su Li to call mom and dad. While teaching, they also took the time to kiss Su Li's little face.
Su Li covered her face with her hands, rolled her eyes quietly, and then, out of respect for the other person, called out, "Two..."
Su Jianshe couldn't hold it in any longer, his cheeks flushed with excitement: "Did you hear that? My daughter called me daddy!"
"Haha, you called me mom too!"
The couple was very excited and kept coaxing Su Li to continue shouting.
For a moment, the small main room was filled with laughter and joy. The family of only three people was as happy as if there were dozens of people.
On the other side, the old Su family was completely silent. Although there were more than a dozen people living there, no one dared to speak loudly.
Even Su Baozhu, who always cried and made a fuss whenever things didn't go her way, was now well-behaved and silent.
The reason was very simple. The food in Lu Zhaodi's cabinet disappeared. She was so angry that she could only cook a few sweet potatoes to fill her stomach. She reluctantly ate two sweet potatoes, thinking that all the fine grains in the house were gone, and she could not let Su Baozhu suffer.
He thought that while it was still early, he would ask Su Jianye to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there were any cakes and malted milk, and buy some for Su Baozhu. It would be best if he could buy some fine grains on the black market, as she couldn't stand eating sweet potatoes three times a day.
Unexpectedly, when she opened the jar containing the banknotes, it was empty, without a penny in it. Not only that, also lost were the 1,600 yuan she had put in a clay pot and buried in a rat hole, and the several pieces of gold jewelry that Grandma Su gave her when she entered the door.
Lu Zhaodi didn't even have the strength to cry. She let out a scream, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. This scared Old Man Su, Su Jianye and Su Jianjia.
Su Laosi and Su Laowu wanted to send the man to the clinic, but Old Man Su felt that it was unnecessary. The man was not sick or in pain, he just fainted and would wake up on his own after a good sleep!
All the money and bills in the house were kept by Lu Zhaodi. Now all the food and bills were gone. Even if he listened to Lu Zhaodi again, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
