Old Xu was overjoyed as he looked at his ten jars of pickled peppers!
Bubbling with happiness!
hey-hey!
This is a treasure!
Whether I can show off properly in the future depends entirely on these!
So, Old Xu carried all ten jars of pickled peppers back to his house and wouldn't let anyone help him!
That was fine, since Su Nanxi had promised him. But when the old man saw Su Nanxi making chili sauce, he got greedy again and wanted chili sauce too!
Seeing the old man Xu's eyes shining, Su Nanxi simply ignored him; she understood everything!
Who can resist the allure of chili sauce!
Zhang Cuicui came to learn as usual, and this time she even helped out. She felt that she would never learn by just watching and doing it herself!
Su Nanxi told her to prepare herself mentally and not to cry!
Zhang Cuicui was amused, "I'm not a child, why would I cry and make a fuss while doing chores!"
She felt that she was very hardworking and that this little bit of work was no problem for her. It wouldn't tire her out at all, and she would never cry!
But she was too confident. She soon realized that the spiciness of the chili peppers was so strong that her eyes were watering.
She finally understood why Su Nanxi had told her to keep her distance last time!
"Why are you all okay?" Zhang Cuicui asked, tears welling up in her eyes.
Su Nanxi laughed unkindly, "Because we've been exposed to the fumes so much, we're used to it, and it's not as bad as it is for us!"
Zhang Cuicui gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I'll fumigate it a few more times! Let's see if it still leaks!"
Ha ha!
Su Nanxi was amused by her appearance, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she blurted out, "Do you have soybeans at home?"
Zhang Cuicui didn't quite catch it. They were just talking about chili peppers, and now they're talking about soybeans? That's too fast! "Yes! But not much! They're not worth much, and we don't really like eating them, so we don't grow many! If you want more, you can buy them on the street. I heard they're quite cheap!"
"Oh!" Su Nanxi nodded.
Zhang Cuicui asked again, "What do you need those beans for, mute mother? Only tofu makers buy them; other people rarely buy them! Most farmers grow some, just enough for their own use!"
Su Nanxi didn't stop chopping as she answered, "I'd like to understand the situation. If it's suitable, I'll see if I can make it into something delicious!"
Hearing about delicious food, Zhang Cuicui's eyes lit up. "Great! My mouth waters as soon as I hear about delicious food!"
"Ha ha!"
After experiencing it firsthand, Zhang Cuicui felt completely different, and she remembered it vividly this time!
When I think back, I can recall every detail, unlike before when I only looked at things without moving them; those memories were not deep and were easily forgotten!
Zhang Cuicui had no choice but to express her gratitude again before she could leave.
A short while later, someone knocked on the door, and Grandma Mo went to open it.
After Su Nanxi finished tidying up, she saw that Old Madam Mo had returned and casually asked, "Mother, who came just now?"
Seeing that everyone was there, Grandma Mo said, "Just now, it was people from your maternal grandfather's village who came. They were just passing by and saying a few words. It's your maternal grandfather's birthday in a few days. It's not a big celebration; they just asked his children to come back for a gathering. They specifically told us all to come and have a good look around!"
oh!
Everyone agreed; it had been a long time since they'd been there, and it was time to go check it out!
In the past, I was always short of money and too busy, so the timing was never right for me to go! Even during the Lunar New Year, for various reasons, not the whole family could go together!
Perfect timing! Since it's neither a holiday nor a festival and there are no other conflicts, we can go as a family to visit and express our good wishes!
Grandma Mo was overjoyed to see that everyone was so eager to go, and she began to look forward to it as well!
She has a lot to prepare!
We need to start preparing now!
In the past, when we were poor, being able to afford a few bunches of vegetables and a piece of pork was a great honor! But things are different now. The Mo family can afford to give a nice gift, so let's give something nice. It's all about the sentiment!
So everyone started preparing their gifts.
There were gifts given in the name of the family, but everyone wanted to prepare their own small gift.
It's up to you; it doesn't have to be expensive, the sentiment is what matters most!
As evening fell, Su Nanxi returned with her child. On the way, she overheard people talking about arrests and officials, and out of curiosity, she stopped to listen.
After listening for a while, I finally understood. It turned out that a constable had come to the village and gone to Guo Laoqi's house. No one knew what he was there for, so no one dared to get close, which was why everyone was talking about it.
Su Nanxi wondered, could it be that Guo Laoqi went to report to the authorities?
Otherwise, why would the police come to our door?
Or has Guo Laoqi's family gotten into some trouble and been investigated?
Sigh! It's none of my business, why think so much about it!
The villagers are paying attention; any developments immediately become the subject of their gossip!
How could anyone possibly give up gossip when it's the village's biggest news?
She'll just have to wait to hear the headlines; it won't be long!
With that thought in mind, Su Nanxi took the children home.
Su Nanxi didn't want to delve into it, but there were paparazzi in the village, and they quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter, just waiting to blow up the village!
Oh! It must be to release firsthand news, make a splash, and hopefully become famous!
The Mo family heard some of it, but they didn't pay too much attention to it and went back to doing what they were doing as usual!
We can listen to the gossip, but life goes on!
The next morning, Su Nanxi set off in a donkey cart.
As expected, Mo Qinghe went along as well. Su Nanxi had promised to take him, and it wouldn't be good to go back on her word, so she let him go.
Old Xu went to the chili fields and cornfields early this morning; he doesn't remember his disciples for now!
Mo Qinghe was overjoyed; he could go shopping with his wife again, and he was going to prepare a gift!
I can take a good look around in town. If I see something I like, I'll buy it. If I don't like any of them, I'll just think of one and make one myself!
None of that matters, what matters is that I can go with my wife!
His wife must have a lot of ideas; he can ask her questions while they're shopping!
If possible, they could make a gift together to represent their feelings!
As it turned out, he got too excited.
They were stopped by someone as soon as they reached the village entrance.
It wasn't bandits hijacking the cart; it was just an ordinary village woman who probably had some emergency and rushed out to stop their donkey cart.
Su Nanxi recognized him; he was from the village, but they weren't close. Tsk, thankfully donkeys don't walk fast in the village, otherwise, blocking the road like this would surely have resulted in injury!
"Mute woman! Please, I beg you, help my daughter!"
When the village woman saw the donkey cart stop, she immediately knelt down in front of the two of them, which startled Su Nanxi.
Good heavens! She knelt down without warning!
She can't afford it!
Su Nanxi and Mo Qinghe quickly got out of the car. Su Nanxi went over and helped the woman up. "It's dangerous for you to stop the car like this! And you have to tell me what happened first so I know whether I can help or not! If I can't help, begging me won't help!"
