Su Xieqiu was cooking dinner with her two children.
She didn't know yet that in just a short while, she had already lost her reputation in the Youth League Institute.
"Auntie, eat, it's delicious." An An put half a piece of pumpkin pie in her hand to Su Xieqiu's mouth and looked at her with sparkling eyes.
Su Xieqiu first looked at her greasy little hands, then looked at the pumpkin pie that she had nibbled on.
She said with a smile: "An An is so good, you can eat it, Auntie has some here."
She took one from the bowl and clinked it with the pumpkin pie in An An's hand.
An An chuckled, stuffed the pumpkin pie into his mouth, and licked his greasy little hands.
Today's dinner is pumpkin pancake with millet porridge, a plate of fried green vegetables, and shredded beef with green peppers.
Chenchen looked at the two plates of greasy dishes and pumpkin pie on the table. From his initial uneasiness, he now looked calm.
When he left Beijing, his grandmother told him that life in the countryside was definitely not as good as in the city, and that he should eat whatever others cooked and never complain about it.
The night before his uncle left, he also told him that people in rural areas usually eat two meals.
Let him take care of his sister, tell her not to complain of hunger all the time, and not to be picky about food. It doesn't matter whether it's coarse grains or fine grains, as long as she can fill her stomach.
He had already prepared himself to go hungry, thinking that he would eat less in the future and save some food for his sister.
But why is the life in Aunt Su’s family different from what my grandma and uncle said?
They now eat three meals a day, with meat dishes for lunch and dinner.
And it's not just a little bit of meat. At least half of the dish is meat, and occasionally fish or chicken.
Although they don't fry meat in the morning, they have eggs and meat sauce, and they eat fine grains.
In the morning and afternoon, Aunt Su was afraid that he and An An would be hungry, so she gave them snacks.
It seemed that my sister had become much heavier these days and he couldn’t even hold her.
With this kind of life, even when nothing happened in their family, they didn't eat so well.
At first he thought that this was how people in the countryside ate, but when he went to the village with Aunt Su a few days ago, he found out that other families didn’t eat like this.
Not to mention meat and refined grains, some families couldn't even get enough coarse grains and had to dig up wild vegetables everywhere to fill their stomachs.
Seeing him sitting there motionless, Su Xieqiu picked up a piece of pumpkin pie and put it in his bowl.
"Chenchen, what are you daydreaming about? Eat quickly. The pumpkin pie won't taste good if it gets cold."
Chenchen came back to his senses, smiled embarrassedly, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Aunt Su, do we have to spend a lot of money to eat so well every day?"
He knew that his uncle gave living expenses to Uncle Han and Aunt Su when he left.
But every day he had to eat either meat or fine grains, and he was worried that the money would not last for a few days.
Seeing that he was so young and yet he was still worrying about these things, Su Xieqiu sighed in his heart, knowing that this child was insecure.
"Don't worry, our family can afford it. This is not something you should worry about. You and An An just need to eat well."
Su Xieqiu helped him pick up a piece of shredded beef with green peppers with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Didn't your uncle teach you how to fight before he left? Take your sister to practice in the yard when you have nothing to do. If bad guys come again like today, you and An An will beat them out."
Chenchen nodded heavily, "Aunt Su, I will definitely practice boxing well and protect you and your sister in the future."
Su Xieqiu patted his head and said, "Okay, then eat quickly. Eat more so you have the strength to punch."
An An saw Su Xieqiu helping Chen Chen pick up some food, so she also grabbed a pumpkin pie she liked and put it in her brother's bowl.
He grinned and said, "Brother, eat."
"Thank you, sister." Chenchen also helped her pick up a piece of vegetables with chopsticks, and picked up a pumpkin pie for Su Xieqiu.
The three of them had dinner happily and swung on the swings in the yard for a while. Then Su Xieqiu took them to wash up.
After breakfast the next day, Wang Fengqin brought her little daughter Linglan over.
Su Xiaqiu peeled the cabbage and cleaned the jar yesterday afternoon.
Wang Fengqin thought for a while and told her what she heard yesterday.
"Zhenyu's wife, your cousin has a foul mouth and can say anything. Such a person must have a bad heart. You should be careful when dealing with her in the future."
In fact, Wang Fengqin is not a gossipy person, but cousin Su Xieqiu’s scolding was so harsh that she might cause trouble in the future.
She has a good relationship with Su Xieqiu, so since she heard it, she had to remind him.
Su Xieqiu smiled gratefully, "Sister-in-law, since you have heard everything, I am not afraid of being embarrassed anymore. Today I will talk to you about our family affairs."
She knew in her heart that since she had rejected Su Xieyun and had a falling out with her yesterday, that woman would definitely exaggerate and discredit her.
How could Su Xieqiu let her have her way? She must strike first.
She had originally planned to go to Aunt Qiuye's house in the afternoon, but since Wang Fengqin mentioned this matter, it would be a good idea to tell her.
Wang Fengqin is a knowledgeable and tactful person who knows what to say and what not to say.
Su Xieqiu narrated calmly: "I am the third child in the family. I have an older brother who is favored by my parents, an older sister who is eloquent and has a strong and aggressive personality, and a younger sister who is lively and clever and can please my parents."
She smiled bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, you know my previous personality. I was timid and cowardly, and I had no ambition. My parents didn't like me at home, and my brothers and sisters looked down on me.
When I was in school, I had a boyfriend who was the son of the director of my parents' factory. My second sister saw that his family was well-off and probably didn't want to go to the countryside, so she hooked up with my boyfriend.
My parents were afraid that I would ruin my second sister's good fortune, and they also feared that I would make a scene, so they changed my second sister's place in the countryside to mine, and changed the place where she was supposed to be sent to work in the suburbs of Haishi to the faraway Northeast.
