Chapter 40 Feeding sugar cakes, teasing
After she said that, Su Heng couldn't refuse.
Forget it, she'll just take it for now, and exchange it for food to send to them next time she goes to the black market.
Speaking of the black market, she's been so busy lately that she didn't even go pick up her bike.
I hope Meng Xiao will keep it for her.
Only after seeing her accept it did Wen Shu regain his smile.
My daughter is only eighteen. It’s good that she is sensible, but she doesn’t need to be overly sensible, otherwise it would be a dereliction of duty for her parents.
After Su Yue finished his work, he wiped the sweat off his face and was about to ask Wen Shu to go back, but Su Heng forced him to sit down and rest for a while.
She went back into the house, took out a jar of honey, wrapped it tightly with cloth, and put it in the small basket Wenshu gave her to bring the sweet cakes.
Wen Shu didn't want to accept it, but Su Heng repeated what she had just said: "Mom, if you keep being so polite, I'll be sad too."
Su Yue laughed: "You are such a cunning girl, and you are still sad."
"Of course." Su Heng said, and went into the west room to get a bag of Codonopsis pilosula that had been dried recently.
Although she was only half-baked in medical skills, she just noticed that Wen Shu's hands were very cold in this hot summer, and there was no blood on his face.
Unlike Su Yue, who looks strong and is actually very healthy.
"Mom, take this back. I heard that honey codonopsis can cure qi and blood deficiency. Just mix it with honey and steam it directly."
"You don't look very well. You should make sure to rest regularly and don't forget to nourish yourself."
It is said that daughters are caring little cotton-padded jackets. It took Wen Shu more than ten years to feel the care of this little cotton-padded jacket.
Her nose felt a little sore, but this time she didn't refuse and accepted it with a gentle smile.
Su Yue didn't go over to disturb the mother and daughter. He just patted Lu Mingchuan on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave my daughter to you. Treat her well. If she does anything wrong, come and tell me and I will teach her a lesson."
Hearing this protective child's words, Lu Mingchuan just smiled and said, "She's fine, there's nothing wrong with her."
Hearing this, Su Yue nodded: "You are quite sensible. Since you also call us mom and dad, remember to come to us if you have any difficulties."
Lu Mingchuan nodded humbly in agreement.
It was getting late. If we didn't go back now, we would have to travel at night, which was not safe.
Su Heng and Lu Mingchuan sent the two of them out the door. They looked at Bai Shu until she was about to turn the corner and could no longer see her, then they waved and let her in. Suddenly, they were stunned.
Seeing this, Lu Mingchuan thought she was reluctant to leave, so he said, "If you miss your parents, you can go back to see them anytime. The bicycle should be here by now."
Su Heng didn't explain anything, but just said, "I'll go to the city to pick up the car after I sort out the herbs."
She couldn't help laughing when she thought about it. A bicycle is also a car. The 28-inch bicycle in the 1970s was as good as the sedans of later generations.
I went into the house and sorted out the medicinal herbs I had recently collected. After accumulating for a period of time, I had a big bag, but I didn't find a large area of a single species like Codonopsis pilosula.
Most of them are Phellodendron amurense, Schisandra chinensis, Saposhnikovia divaricata, etc., which are all medicinal herbs unique to the north, and I think they can be sold for some money.
There was only a small jar of honey left, and Su Heng planned to find a day when Song Wan was free to get some more.
After packing the herbs that she would carry to the black market tomorrow, Su Heng planned to go into the kitchen to sort out the things that her father and others had brought her.
As soon as she entered, she found that the vegetables had been neatly classified and placed on the shelves for her.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes, which need to be stored away from light and shade, are placed on the ground in the corner.
The sugar cake was placed in a ceramic jar. Su Heng opened the lid, ate a piece, and felt warm in her heart.
He took it out and said to Lu Mingchuan, "It's delicious, you should try it too."
Lu Mingchuan didn't like sweet food, but looking at Su Heng's bright smiling eyes, he took a bite of her hand.
His tongue accidentally rolled over her fingers, and the warm touch made Su Heng's hands tremble. She looked at him with wide eyes like a frightened rabbit.
This guy... doesn't he have hands?
How come she suddenly feeds him?
And why does your tongue stick out so long when you eat?!
"Can't you just eat it yourself?"
Lu Mingchuan blinked innocently: "My hands are dirty."
"Then go wash it!"
"But it's almost finished."
As he spoke, he took the last bite. This time, his tongue didn't lick Su Heng's finger, but his teeth accidentally hit it.
Su Heng was annoyed. If she continued to feed Lu Mingchuan, she would be like a dog.
The next day, Su Heng carried a basket of medicinal herbs and took a ride on the bumpy tractor. Fortunately, this was the last time.
After entering the city, I went straight to the black market.
Meng Xiao and Uncle Lin were still leisurely eating breakfast in the yard. When he saw Su Heng, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Lazily said, "I thought you didn't want the car anymore."
"Yes, yes."
Su Heng knew he was in the wrong, so he shook the basket on his back and said, "I was busy digging herbs, so I came a little late."
Meng Xiao raised his eyebrows: "What good stuff did you get again?"
Su Heng: "No, I can't always be lucky. These are just some common herbs."
Meng Xiao withdrew his gaze with a lack of interest. Su Heng's tacky red headscarf was so ugly that it hurt his eyes.
Uncle Lin asked with a smile: "Have you eaten? Come and have something to eat together."
"No need..." Su Heng was about to refuse.
Meng Xiao said, "Let's eat together. It's just breakfast. Why be so polite?"
There was a tray of red oil meat buns and a plate of dumplings on the table. They were drinking soy milk and white porridge. Uncle Lin had already gone into the house to get the dishes and chopsticks.
What a rich guy, even breakfast is so luxurious.
Who can resist meat buns? It would be a waste not to eat them.
Su Heng didn't hesitate to take the bowl and chopsticks and sat down.
Seeing that she didn't take off the red headscarf while eating, Meng Xiao's eyebrows jumped and he couldn't help but said, "Can you take off your headscarf when you eat?"
Su Heng took a sip of the sweet soy milk, looked up innocently, and asked, "What's wrong? It doesn't affect my eating."
Meng Xiao: "No, it affects me. It's too ugly and affects my appetite."
Su Heng: ...
"Is it that ugly?"
She didn't look in the mirror after putting on the headscarf, but Lu Mingchuan didn't say anything.
But she was reluctant to accept the offer and took off the headscarf silently.
"It's very ugly." Meng Xiao said without hesitation: "You wear this ugly thing because you're afraid that others won't know that you have something to hide?"
"It's not that obvious." Su Heng was a little unconvinced.
Meng Xiao: "Wearing a headscarf in such hot weather, if you don't have a ghost, who will?"
Su Heng is beautiful and conspicuous without a headscarf, but with a headscarf, not only does she look ugly, but she also looks sneaky.
Uncle Lin also smiled and added: "It is indeed a bit conspicuous."
Well, her disguise skills were ruthlessly denied.
Su Heng had no choice but to put away her headscarf in disappointment.
After dinner, she didn't forget to ask the question that concerned her most: "Do you have any meat for sale?"
“Yes, but not much.”
"I want to buy some," Su Heng asked, pressing forward. "Do you have mutton?"
Meng Xiao lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. For the sake of her pleasing face, he reluctantly said, "There's a point. Why do you need so much meat? Aren't there only two people in your family?"
The meat can't be kept in such hot weather.
"I want to treat my friends to a meal. If there is no mutton, the hotpot will be less interesting." When he heard that there was meat, Su Heng explained very patiently.
Meng Xiao looked at the big sun in the sky and was puzzled: "Eating hot pot in this weather?"
"Yeah, hot pot is so nice in the summer!"
Too bad there's no iced Coke.
"Then I want to go too." Meng Xiao said.
Su Heng:?
