Boss Mo said calmly, "Your bowl and chopsticks are outside under the eaves. Go and eat whatever you want!"
Mo Yunmei was overjoyed to hear this. See, her older brother had forgiven her! There was meat for lunch today, and she was going to eat a lot of it!
She ran out quickly to get bowls and chopsticks, but just as she was about to go into the inner room, the door closed and was locked from the inside.
What's going on?
Mo Yunmei patted the door and called out, "Big brother, I haven't come in yet! I just got the bowls and chopsticks, please open the door and let me in!"
Nobody paid any attention to her.
Thinking she hadn't heard, she shouted again, "Big brother, open the door and let me in! I'm so hungry, I want five pieces of meat! Open the door!"
Still, no one paid any attention to her.
Watching Su Nanxi cook, Zhao and Qin learned some culinary skills and their cooking became increasingly delicious.
Back then, Su Nanxi would have spat out after just one bite, so it's quite impressive that it's been cooked to this standard.
It wasn't that the Qin and Zhao families were bad cooks; it was mainly because the Mo family was too poor. They lacked ingredients and seasonings, and had no opportunity to improve their culinary skills. So, Su Nanxi bought a whole bunch of things and frequently cooked different dishes, so they naturally gradually learned how to cook.
Everyone inside had eaten their fill and finished all their dishes before clearing away the dishes and coming out.
Mo Yunmei complained that her mother wouldn't open the door for her, but Old Mrs. Mo said calmly, "I'm old, my hearing isn't good anymore, I didn't hear you."
Mo Yunmei choked, then forgot about her mother and went straight to the rice cooker. When she saw it, the pot had been taken away and the table had been cleaned up.
"Mother, there's nothing left, what am I going to eat?" Mo Yunmei cried out.
Grandma Mo seemed to only then realize, "You haven't eaten? Then you should go and eat right away!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
No one cared what she ate; they all went back inside to rest.
Su Nanxi didn't want to go back so soon. She felt uncomfortable inside and didn't want to stay there. She would rather not stay there if she could avoid it. Her husband, who was her friend, suddenly became cold towards her for some unknown reason.
She sat on a wooden bench under the crabapple tree to digest her food, holding a leaf in her hand and twirling it around, her mind wandering.
Mo Yunmei seemed to have found an outlet for her anger. Forgetting the pain, she ran up to Su Nanxi, put her hands on her hips, and said arrogantly, "I haven't eaten yet, how can you rest? How can you be a daughter-in-law? I, your sister-in-law, am still hungry, and you have the nerve to sit under the big tree and enjoy the shade! Hurry up and cook me something delicious, and put in plenty of meat!"
Su Nanxi was deep in thought when her train of thought was suddenly interrupted, which annoyed her. She coldly glanced at the oblivious Mo Yunmei.
That one glance terrified Mo Yunmei.
Su Nanxi's eyes are naturally large, and she usually keeps them half-open, with her thick, long eyelashes partially covering them. Even though she wears ugly makeup, she can't really hide her long eyelashes, making her look like she's meek and easy to bully.
Suddenly, Su Nanxi opened her eyes wide and looked up at her. Her eyes flashed with ice and snow, and a chill spread. Coupled with her ugly appearance, she looked like a monster that was about to take lives!
Mo Yunmei dared not utter another word. She let out an "Ah!" and wished she had two more legs to run back to her room, slamming the door shut behind her.
I rushed into the house, thinking I was safe, but as soon as I stepped away, the door collapsed with a bang!
"ah!!!"
The sudden collapse of the door startled Mo Yunmei, making her even more panicked. She rushed to the bed and crawled under the covers, wrapping herself up tightly.
Su Nanxi was stunned, and after a while, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
With such little courage, how dare she be so arrogant? Who gave her the audacity?
I'll scare you to death!
In the afternoon, Su Nanxi went to the field to water her plants and discovered that someone had broken her water pipe.
A bamboo stalk fell into a field not far away and broke into several pieces. This was done intentionally, deliberately damaged.
There were no cameras, and she didn't know who had done it, so she went to the mountainside to cut down another one, shaved it, and reattached it.
I added some spring water to the water, and the chili peppers and sweet potato vines grew well, without being affected much.
Around the same time, the children all came over together, carrying small wooden buckets and gourd ladles, and ran happily toward Su Nanxi.
Looking at the several unconnected plots of land, Su Nanxi had the idea of connecting them into one large area, which would make management easier.
Before heading back, Su Nanxi took the children to pick purslane and cut some wild chives, planning to make pancakes when they got back.
The children were very excited when they heard that delicious food was being prepared, and they filled a basket with food in no time.
"Third Aunt, how do you know how to make so many delicious dishes?" Mo Qiushuang asked on the way back.
Mo Jiarong also said, "Yes, Third Aunt is amazing! She can make such fragrant pancakes from such ordinary wild vegetables!"
Mo Dongcheng seemed to have opened the door to a new world. Wherever the sisters went, he followed them, and he was very happy.
Mo Jiaxing came to help after school, acting like a big brother. He was worried that Su Nanxi was tired and even offered to carry her basket.
When they got home, the kids picked out the ingredients together, washed them clean, started a fire, and even helped make the cakes.
With these little helpers, Su Nanxi's job became much easier, and she quickly finished frying the pancakes.
The other members of the Mo family were also pleased to see how much the child liked Su Nanxi and how well they got along.
Everyone set up a table in the courtyard and started eating pancakes. The aroma wafted far and wide, and people nearby peeked around to see who had made something delicious.
Su Nanxi, however, was thinking to herself that she'd need to make a frying pan later; she really couldn't handle this big wok over a wood-fired stove. Yes, setting up a stove in the yard to fry things—hey, that sounds pretty good.
As Mo Qinghe ate her pancake, her mind was in turmoil. How could she turn such ordinary ingredients into something so delicious? How did she know so much?
If Su Nanxi heard this, she would surely reply, "There are golden houses in books; if you want to do anything, just look for books!"
Mo Yunmei had been fixing the door all afternoon and was exhausted, so she lay down on the bed to sleep. The smell of the fragrance jolted her awake; her sleepiness vanished, and she quickly got up and rushed out.
She was so hungry she was seeing stars; if she missed it, she would be starving until tomorrow!
"Mom! What about mine? I want some bread too! I'm starving!"
Mo Yunmei's trip ended in disappointment; there were no pancakes left.
No, there weren't any pancakes left for her. The others used bowls and plates to hold the pancakes, and if there weren't enough bowls and plates, they used small bamboo baskets. Everyone had four or five pancakes in their hands, but there weren't any extras on the table.
No one paid any attention to her; they all kept their heads down and happily ate their pancakes.
Isn't a pancake delicious? Why bother with someone who's got a screw loose?
When Mo Yunmei saw that no one responded to her, she thought she hadn't shouted loud enough, so she shouted louder, but still no one paid any attention to her.
She was so hungry she couldn't think straight, so she just wanted to grab things. She didn't dare to grab the adults, but she figured she could grab the children, right?
Just as she reached out, she was struck hard by a pair of chopsticks, making her wince in pain and jump back.
"Waaah, I want to eat too! I'm so hungry!"
Nobody paid any attention.
"Ugly duckling, you can't eat that much, give me two!"
