Old Mrs. Su directly steamed the remaining egg liquid in the pot. After a while, she had steamed a large bowl of egg custard. Then she carefully carried the bowl of egg custard out the door.
Su Xiuxiu couldn't control her tears all of a sudden.
"Mmmmm, Mom, my egg custard...Mmmmm..."
Her mother had promised to make her steamed egg custard, but now her grandmother had taken all the egg custard away.
Why.
Why did it turn out like this.
She really wanted to eat egg custard.
Xiao Linglong often eats at home. In the past, Su Xiuxiu often heard Xiao Linglong's grandmother asking her whether she wanted to eat this or that. Anyway, no matter what Xiao Linglong wanted to eat, her grandmother would make it for her.
Things like egg custard are the least conspicuous of the things Xiao Linglong usually eats.
Su Xiuxiu really felt that she was so pitiful compared to Xiao Linglong.
She can't eat anything at home.
Her mother has no money, and her grandmother scolds her all the time. Her grandmother doesn't like her and never asks her what she wants to eat.
Her grandmother only likes her cousin Su Wei.
She is a girl, so her grandmother doesn't like her.
She really felt so pitiful.
With this thought in mind, Su Xiuxiu felt terrible and her crying became more and more miserable.
Xu Xiangru felt her heart break when she heard her daughter crying. She could only quickly pick her up and comfort her: "Dear, Xiuxiu, don't cry. If you cry like this, Mommy wants to cry too...Okay, dear, Mommy will buy you two eggs and make you some steamed egg custard, okay?"
Two years ago, all the chickens they raised were taken away by Old Mrs. Su to Su Baopeng's house, and even the chicken coop was demolished. Old Mrs. Su's reason was that Xu Xiangru always complained that the chickens were too noisy and the chicken coop was too dirty and smelly, so she just gave all the chickens to Su Baopeng, since their family didn't mind the dirt and smell anyway.
yes.
Xu Xiangru did complain to Su Baoshan several times, but that didn't mean she would give all the chickens in her family to Su Baopeng's family.
Xu Xiangru almost fainted at that time, but Su Baoshan persuaded her that his mother was upset and it would be better to just go along with her wishes.
Afterwards, Su Baoshan went out to find a job to make money in order to make up for the losses caused by Old Mrs. Su.
Xu Xiangru didn't dare to raise chickens anymore. She was afraid that Old Lady Su would give all the chickens to Su Baopeng's family. Then she would be so angry that she would die.
There are no eggs at home now, and Mrs. Su is occasionally kind enough to bring a few eggs, but not many, usually only one or two.
At this moment, the two of them were making egg noodles for lunch, so of course there were not a single egg left in their house.
"Mom, I want to eat egg custard."
Su Xiuxiu looked at Xu Xiangru aggrievedly.
"Wait for me at home for a while, okay? I'll go out and look for eggs and be back soon. It'll only take a moment, so don't run around!"
Xu Xiangru did not plan to take her daughter with her, so it would be faster for her to go back and forth by herself.
Su Xiuxiu nodded when she heard this.
"Okay, I'll listen to Mom, I'll be a good boy, and I won't go out!"
Xu Xiangru was relieved after hearing this and left home in a hurry.
Su Xiuxiu sat in the yard waiting alone.
She was sitting in the yard but could faintly hear sounds coming from the Ling family next door.
Although it is a brick wall, it is not very high, barely taller than a person's height.
All the sounds from next door came over—
“Grandma’s noodles are the best~”
Su Xiuxiu heard that it was Xiao Linglong's voice.
"Yes, yes, it's the most delicious."
This is the voice of Ling family's Xiaowu.
Ling's Xiaowu has always been very supportive of his younger sister.
Mrs. Ling's voice was very loud: "As long as you like it, it's good. Do you want to eat something else? Do you want grandma to boil two eggs for you?"
The Ling family has a lot of eggs, and for the Ling family, those eggs are a complete surprise. Since it is a surprise, just eat them if you want.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Xiao Linglong: "No, no, grandma, I'm full! So full!"
Ling Xiaowu: "I'm full too!"
Since the two youngest children didn't want to eat it, naturally the others didn't want to eat it either.
Mrs. Ling smiled and said, "Okay, then don't eat for now. When you feel hungry in the afternoon, tell me and I'll cook for you then!"
"Okay~"
Su Xiuxiu heard the voices of Xiao Linglong and Lingjia Xiaowu responding together.
Such voices made Su Xiuxiu's jealousy even stronger.
She once again recalled the dream she had had before. In the dream, she was the one who was surrounded by stars.
Thinking of this, Su Xiuxiu fell asleep on the stool without realizing it.
This time she had the same dream again.
In her dream, she had lived in the Ling family since she was a child. Everyone in the Ling family was very, very kind to her. Ling Hancheng and Chu Yuefang treated her like their own daughter, and the brothers in the Ling family also loved her very much.
All her requests in the Ling family would be granted, and there was almost nothing she could not get.
This dream was obviously longer than the last one.
In her previous dreams, Su Xiuxiu only dreamed about her childhood, but then she gradually grew up.
When she grew up, it seemed that the five brothers of the Ling family liked her very much.
The five brothers often competed with each other for her favor and vied with each other to please her.
Aunt Fang also asked her if she wanted to marry one of the five brothers of the Ling family, saying that if she wanted to marry, they would definitely treat her better.
But Su Xiuxiu refused.
She told Aunt Fang that she only treated her brothers as her own brothers and did not want to marry them.
None of them can.
They are just brother and sister.
Aunt Fang in the dream loved her very much. After she expressed her attitude like this, she didn't force her anymore. She just told her to tell her if she liked someone.
Aunt Fang would prepare a decent dowry for her on behalf of her mother and then send her off to get married.
At that time, she actually already had someone she liked.
The person Su Xiuxiu likes in the dream is... Gu Mingze, who moved to Huaihe Village from another place.
Although Gu Mingze did not live in Huaihe Village since childhood, he had lived there for many years. He, Su Xiuxiu and the Ling brothers could barely be considered childhood sweethearts. They went to the same school and played together when they were not studying. They grew up together.
The Ling brothers treated Gu Mingze, who lived across the street, as their brother. After all, the Gu family, with its orphans and widows, had a very hard life, and the Ling family had a lot of sympathy for them.
But they didn't know that their favorite Su Xiuxiu had already fallen in love with Gu Mingze, and the two had been secretly together for a long time without anyone knowing...
