Ling Li, Chang Jiaping and Gu Mingze were just about to go home separately when they unexpectedly saw people coming out of the three doors.
Su Xiuxiu, who had just left the Su family, ran up to Gu Mingze, tilting her head back and blinking her eyes, trying to act cute like a child.
"Brother Mingze, you're done with school. Do you want to come to my house for dinner? My nanny has stewed pork and cabbage. It smells delicious!"
Although Gu Mingze's relationship with Su Xiuxiu has improved a lot now, he did not accept her invitation.
He has food to eat at home, so there is no need to go to the Su family for meals.
Besides, the Su family’s reputation is not very good. Even Gu Mingze knows that the family is not very authentic, so it is better not to have too much contact with them.
His mother had reminded him of this.
After Gu Mingze rejected Su Xiuxiu, he went home without looking back.
Su Xiuxiu was angry for a second but quickly regained her composure.
It’s okay, take your time.
Although I was rejected, at least it is much better now than before.
At least now it is much better than before when Gu Mingze avoided her.
If you boil her in warm water, she won't become a fat woman in one bite.
Sooner or later, Gu Mingze will definitely fall under her spell.
Gu Mingze left, and only when she turned around did Su Xiuxiu notice Ling Li and Chang Jiaping.
"Sister Pingping is back, let's go home for dinner!"
Su Xiuxiu trotted over and hugged Chang Jiaping's arm. Her voice sounded sweet, as if she was a lovely sister.
Chang Jiaping was a little surprised to see Su Xiuxiu like this.
This was the first time that Su Xiuxiu acted so intimately. She obviously didn't pay much attention to her, and it didn't seem like she liked her at all.
Now it's like this... I don't know why.
Du Yuefeng happened to come over at this moment, but she came from the Ling family.
After Maosheng's mother left, Du Yuefeng was about to leave too, but when she saw Old Lady Ling cooking, she stayed to watch.
She clearly felt that Mrs. Ling's craftsmanship was much better than hers, and she also learned a few things from her.
She was just about to come back because it was time for dinner, but she didn't expect to run into her daughter who had just gotten out of school as soon as she went out.
What a coincidence.
Du Yuefeng felt relieved after hearing Su Xiuxiu's words. Her stepdaughter and her daughter got along very well, and she finally had one less thing to worry about.
"Thank you, Lingli, for taking Pingping to and from school. It's really a bother for you."
Du Yuefeng looked at Ling Li and said gratefully.
Ling Li shook her head: "You're welcome, Auntie. One more person is nothing."
In fact, Ling Li mainly felt that Chang Jiaping was quite quiet and spoke directly, so there was nothing wrong with going to and from school with a girl like this.
If it was something that was too complicated and troublesome, Ling Li would definitely not bring it again after taking it once.
"Thank you anyway," Du Yuefeng said with a smile, "I'll make you something delicious later."
Ling Li shook his head to indicate that he didn't need it, then turned and went into his house.
Although he said no, Du Yuefeng still kept thinking about it.
Ling Li took her daughter to and from school, which made her feel more at ease about her daughter. She still had to do something to express her gratitude.
Otherwise it would be too bad.
After that, only Du Yuefeng, Chang Jiaping and Su Xiuxiu were left.
Du Yuefeng smiled and clapped her hands: "Okay, two beautiful girls, it's time for us to go home and have dinner."
Su Xiuxiu then let go of Chang Jiaping and walked home pretending to be well-behaved.
Old Mrs. Su had already prepared dinner at home: pork stewed with cabbage, fragrant white flour buns, and a tomato and egg soup.
It’s quite rich.
Under normal circumstances, Mrs. Su would not be so generous and would probably make pickled cabbage.
But after all, Du Yuefeng had just gotten married, so she should at least do a better job in the first few days of her marriage. She couldn't guarantee that there would be meat for every meal, but at least she would eat meat once a day.
Although a lot of the Su family's assets were taken away, before Su Baoshan and Du Yuefeng got married, Old Mrs. Su made a special trip to the town to sell all the eggs stored at home and two trays of steamed buns. Only then did she have some extra money to buy the two kilograms of pork.
This meat still contains a lot of fat, and the price is lower than the lean meat, more than one yuan per pound. It is really a lot of money for the Su family who are currently short of money.
In order to eat the meat for several more meals, Old Mrs. Su only cut half a pound of meat, then cut a large head of cabbage, and added a lot of vermicelli. The portion was really quite large.
But when you pick it up with chopsticks, it's basically just vermicelli and cabbage. If you don't look carefully, you can hardly see the meat.
Su Baoshan was the most helpless one.
He wanted to go out to work not only because he wanted to avoid Du Yuefeng, but mainly because he really knew that their family had no money. They had to support two children and might have more in the future, which would cost a lot of money. Without money, they would be unable to move forward.
Su Baoshan also envied Ling Hancheng and his wife next door. They were both educated people and could teach. Especially Ling Hancheng, who was now the principal. Not only did he not lack food coupons and cloth coupons, but his salary was also not low. It was no problem for him to support so many children in the family.
Moreover, the food at the Ling family is also quite good. Ling Hancheng can often be seen riding his bicycle to bring home freshly cut meat.
Who wouldn’t envy the entire Huaihe Village?
well.
But they don’t know when things will get better...
Su Baoshan looked at the cabbage on the chopsticks and thought to himself that at the latest next spring, after spending this winter at home, he would go out to work and earn money, regardless of whether Du Yuefeng was pregnant by then.
If Du Yuefeng is really pregnant... then he has to make money, otherwise how will he support the child?
"Mom, we can just eat home-cooked meals from now on. It's okay if we don't always eat meat," Du Yuefeng said caringly to Mrs. Su, "You don't have to do this for me..."
"Mom knows you're thoughtful, but this is also for the two children. If you never eat meat, how can your health be good?" Old Mrs. Su said, "Yuefeng, you don't have to worry too much now. Just eat well and take care of your health. Health is your best asset!"
As Old Lady Su spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Du Yuefeng's belly.
What Old Lady Su said was almost explicit: she hoped Du Yuefeng would take good care of her health and get pregnant soon.
Du Yuefeng smiled and said, "Yes, thank you for your concern, Mom."
Du Yuefeng is now somewhat relieved that she already knew what she would do after getting married. Otherwise, if she had not made such preparations, she would have been overwhelmed in her heart.
Su Xiuxiu, who was eating at the side, couldn't help but secretly curl her lips when she heard what Old Lady Su said.
She really can act like a good mother-in-law.
