Su Jingjing thought for a moment, and realized that her mother had made a spare key just in case, which seemed to be hidden in the corner of the kitchen wall.
But I really can't remember the exact location.
Fortunately, the kitchen is so small that it's not hard to find.
The moment Dong Qin received the key, she was stunned and silently gave her sister-in-law a thumbs up.
A mother-in-law will never guard against her sister-in-law.
Su Jingjing opened the cupboard, which contained rice, flour, sugar, and other items, but not in large quantities, as she usually lived frugally.
There was only a little over half a jar of mung beans left. If they were used sparingly, they could be used several times over. But Su Jingjing took out two-thirds of it, and it was empty in no time.
Her sister-in-law locked the cupboard in one swift motion, startling Dong Qin. "Jingjing, are you going to cook this much?"
During this busy farming season, she only cooks a little bit each time, and she doesn't dare to add even a tiny bit of sugar.
Su Jingjing nodded, her hands moving without stopping for a moment.
"Yes, we have a large family, so we have to cook more."
"Think about it, it's so hot outside. Make some mung bean soup for Mom and Dad to help them cool down."
She knew her sister-in-law's concerns. "Sister-in-law, I'll explain to Mom. You don't need to worry."
Ultimately, it was all caused by poverty. Su's mother controlled the family's food and dared not make any mistakes. Although they were not full, they were not hungry either.
"Cough cough..."
Su Jingjing didn't expect to fail at the very first step because of firewood in the countryside. She didn't know how to start a fire, and soon a thick plume of smoke billowed out, making it look like the kitchen was on fire.
"Jingjing, let me do it."
Dong Qin took over her sister-in-law's position and helped her stir up trouble.
"Jingjing, go wash your hands. I'll watch the fire."
Su Jingjing subconsciously picked up her hand, which was covered in black grime.
"good."
After the earlier commotion, the two women, sister-in-law and aunt, immediately broke the ice and chatted while cooking mung beans, creating a relatively harmonious atmosphere.
Half an hour later, the mung beans were cooked.
Su Jingjing took a taste; it was sweet. A bowl of mung bean soup in this kind of weather would be wonderful!
But how can we bring this pot of mung bean soup over?
Luckily, we had a beat-up bicycle at home.
With the sun blazing outside, Su Jingjing didn't want her two children to go out with her, so she asked her sister-in-law to help take care of them.
Although I know the two children are sensible, I still have to give them some advice.
"You must listen to your aunt at home and not cause trouble."
The two children said in unison, their voices still sweet and childlike, "Mommy, we'll be good."
"Mom, I will take care of my sister with my aunt."
Dong Qin chuckled, "Don't worry, An'an and Yuanyuan are very well-behaved, I haven't had to worry about them at all."
She had never seen such a well-behaved child before. He was both good-looking and sensible. Which child in the countryside wasn't mischievous and naughty, climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles? She wished her child was as well-behaved as him.
My mother-in-law is right; my sister-in-law is just born lucky.
With the love and care of her own family at home, and the love and care of her husband and children at her husband's family, this woman has already grasped the happiness of her entire life in her own hands.
Su Jingjing smiled at her sister-in-law before pushing the dilapidated cart out the door.
Along the way, we only encountered idle children; the adults were all working in the fields.
Su Jingjing followed her memories to her family's field.
Her family's fields were inside, so she had to pass in front of other people.
For a moment she didn't recognize anyone, she just smiled and nodded. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, each with their own thoughts.
When did Su's daughter become so polite? Could it be that she was trained by Commander Li? It's not impossible. It's said that the Li family's discipline is extremely strict, so she must have suffered a lot. It seems that life in a wealthy family isn't so easy to enjoy.
This is a girl from the Su family; she's gotten so thin!
Jingya is quite pretty after losing weight; even she, a woman, is jealous.
...
Someone called out, "Village chief, your Jingjing is here."
Su Xiang's family then looked up and saw that the girl pushing the bicycle on the ridge was none other than their daughter.
"Oh my, it's so hot, why did Jing come here?"
Yan Ling glanced at the sun, afraid that it would damage Jingjing's delicate skin.
"Mom, I'll go take a look."
Li Hanting frowned. If his wife got sunburned, he would be the one who felt the most heartache in the end.
The key issue is that we just had some fun at noon, and I don't know if my wife's body can handle it.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he approached his wife and took the bicycle from her.
"Honey, what brings you here? Aren't you hot?"
As he spoke, he freed one hand to wipe her sweat.
The young wife's face was flushed from the sun. Her skin was delicate and fair, with a rosy glow. Such a beautiful and charming woman was truly someone I couldn't bear to expose to outsiders.
"I'm fine. I was wearing a straw hat and long sleeves, it's just a little hot."
Su Jingjing wouldn't be foolish enough to let herself get sunburned; she had finally achieved fair skin and didn't want to get tanned.
Li Hanting was amused by his wife and coughed lightly, "What's this in the car?"
He knew in his heart that his wife must have cooked something delicious and brought it over again.
If you get closer, you can almost smell a delicate fragrance.
"Oh, I saw that it was so hot, so I made some mung bean soup and brought it with me."
“An'an and Yuanyuan have already had their drinks at home, and their sister-in-law is taking care of them.”
The two chatted as they walked, like a perfect couple, inseparable.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder, wasn't it said that Commander Li didn't like Su Jingjing?
Aren't they very much in love?
Li Hanting let his wife rest under the big tree, and then unloaded the mung bean soup.
Su Jingjing happily called her parents over, her face beaming with joy, like an innocent young girl.
"Girl, let Mom check if you have sunburn."
As soon as Yan Ling came over, she took her daughter's hand to examine her. Her exposed skin was sunburned and red, and Yan Ling felt a pang of sadness.
"Listen to me, let Han Ting take you back."
Su Jingjing was both amused and exasperated, feeling that in her family's eyes she was a porcelain doll, easily broken.
"Mom, I'm fine. I made some mung bean soup. Come and have some."
Before Yan Ling could even notice the mung bean soup in the bucket, Da Shan let out a surprised sound.
"Little sister, why are there so many mung beans?"
After working all afternoon, I've long since finished the little water I brought. Now, I'd be happy with just a bowl of plain water, let alone mung bean soup.
I couldn't wait to lift the lid, and when I saw the bucket full of mung beans, I was stunned.
Did my little sister use up all the mung beans in the house at once?
Thinking of this, Su Dashan secretly glanced at his mother, whose face was solemn.
Yan Ling's head exploded when she saw a bucket of mung bean soup.
Wow, this is enough to cook for several meals.
wrong!
He frowned, subconsciously reaching into his pocket. The key was still there, but what was with these mung beans?
She quickly took her daughter's hand and quietly asked, "Girl, where did these mung beans come from?"
Su Jingjing smiled and said, "Of course, I'll take the mung beans from the cupboard."
Where did you get the key?
If Dong Qin doesn't have it, then where did this key come from?
