Chapter 66 Going Home on Weekends
Wang Zhaodi never came back to school. It was said that her blind date failed and she was forced to go to the countryside.
Most of Wang Zhaodi's classmates expressed sympathy for her situation. After all, according to the doctor's description, she should be suffering from a rare aging disease. Under such circumstances, her family still signed her up to go to the countryside, which shows that they have no feelings for her at all.
Shi Liu didn't feel sorry for the other party. If the Bai family's plan had succeeded, she would be the one in that situation now.
Final exams were in two weeks, and she wouldn't be home during that time. So this weekend, she planned to go home. Before she left, Shi Liu wanted to visit the granary. She had exchanged most of the fine grain she'd earned from signing in last time for Grandpa Sun, and the rest had been eaten up, so her main goal this time was to replenish her food supply.
There was still a group of guards around the granary. Shi Liu walked to the distance where she could sign in and did not get any closer. As she expected, the granary was indeed reset successfully, but she didn't know what kind of food she could get by signing in this time.
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and receiving 500 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of wheat, and 50 kilograms of millet]
Seeing the harvest, Shi Liu felt a little relieved. This underground place probably contained all the food that had been wasted in Lin City for thousands of years. He couldn't empty it out in a short time, so it could be used as his food source base for the time being.
When we approached the deserted old house, the system gave us another prompt.
[Discover the sign-in location of the deserted old house. Do you want to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in?]
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and receiving 300 gold leaves and 1 copy of "Qingshan County Geography"]
"Qingshan County Geography" should be the previous record document of Lin City. Shi Liu thought of the dilapidated stone tablet he had found in the back mountain, on which were written three big characters "Daqingshan". Now it seems that the status of Daqingshan was quite special in ancient times, otherwise a county would not be named after a mountain.
Their place really hides countless secrets. Shi Liu is becoming more and more interested in it, which adds a bit of anticipation to her boring days.
As soon as Shi Liu entered the village, he met Da Zhuang who was playing at the entrance of the village. Da Zhuang was very happy to see his aunt. After all, every time his aunt came back, the family would prepare delicious food. Su Sanlan was very frugal and usually only ate half full of meals so that she would not starve to death.
"Da Zhuang, where are your grandma and the others?" It seems that they don't have to go to work now, but the people at home are always busy. They find work to do during the slack season.
Dazhuang took the candy his aunt gave him and said, "Grandma and the others are weaving rattan boxes at home. The educated youth at the educated youth camp really like the rattan boxes Grandma weaves. One can be exchanged for a lot of things."
Her mother, Su Sanlan, was renowned for her skillful craftsmanship. Whether it was making clothes or handicrafts, few could match her. It was perfectly natural for the educated youth to be drawn to her mother's woven rattan boxes. Su Sanlan had copied the rattan box Shi Liu had obtained by signing in at the Friendship Mall in Hai City. Her imitation was at least 80% similar, and she even offered a low price.
"Mom, I'm back." Shi Liu started calling her mother before she even entered the door.
When Su Sanlan heard her daughter's voice, her voice brightened with joy: "Hey, my pomegranate is back——"
The eldest sister-in-law and three sisters-in-law looked at the mother and daughter kissing each other with numb faces. After marrying into the Lao Shi family for many years, they still couldn't adapt to the clingy behavior of the mother-in-law and sister-in-law. However, the mother and daughter were not short of supporters.
Brother Shi: "Big sister, why did you come back just now?"
Shi Erge: "Big sister, our mother misses you so much."
Third Brother Shi: "Big sister, how long will you stay at home this time?"
Fourth Brother Shi: "Big sister, I miss you so much."
The whole family happily circled around Shi Liu, and Shi Liu had to use her trump card: "Mom, I brought some delicious food. Let me put the things down first. It's tiring to carry them." After saying that, she pretended to be very tired.
Su Sanlan clapped his hands when he heard that and hurried to help Shi Liu take down the backpack: "You are all standing there doing nothing. I don't know if you are helping your eldest sister take down her things or if you are acting like a brother."
Shi's eldest brother and fourth brother expressed their grievances. After all, their mother hadn't expected this. Who could have imagined that their eldest sister would bring back something good? However, they were so used to being criticized by Su Sanlan since they were young that they forgot about it and happily waited to see what good things Shi Liu would bring.
Shi Liu took out a small jar directly from the backpack: "This jar contains Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the same one that my third brother and I ate in Yun Province last time. The chef who made this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is said to be a descendant of the imperial chef, and his skills are superb."
Third Brother Shi's face changed. This jar of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was not cheap. It was estimated that Big Sister had spent all her money on it. When he thought about Big Sister spending all her pocket money just to let him, the third brother, have another bite of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Third Brother Shi's eyes were red. It was his fault. If he hadn't kept whispering in Big Sister's ear, "If only I could have it just once more," Big Sister wouldn't have bothered to buy a jar.
Su Sanlan didn't notice her third son's abnormality. She had heard of the famous Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. "Why did you bring it home? Just keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly."
"Mom, I just wanted to bring it back for everyone at home to try, especially you. You've worked so hard for so many years, so what's wrong with eating something good? Mom, you must eat more, otherwise it won't taste good to me."
Shi Liu looked at the white hair on Su Sanlan's head, and her heart ached. Because her father had passed away long ago, Su Sanlan had to act as both mother and father. She looked older than many of her peers. At least when her aunt stood next to her mother, she looked more like a younger sister. If she hadn't been able to do it, it would have been fine. But now that she clearly had, Shi Liu naturally hoped Su Sanlan would eat something good to replenish her body.
Su Sanlan was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She knew what people said about her. They simply said she was crazy for loving a worthless girl. Shi Liu had lost her father at birth, so pitiful, so why wouldn't she, as a mother, love her more? Now, it seemed that of her five children, her daughter was the most filial. As for her son, when it came to food and drink, he was so focused on his own little family that he didn't even remember her as a mother.
Shi Liu didn't expect her mother to be so excited. In fact, her brothers were not unfilial. It was mainly because her mother was in charge of the family's food and drink. They all thought her mother would not put herself in a difficult position. However, her mother was a thrifty person. She would eat as much food as she gave to her daughter-in-law. Otherwise, given her mother's doting attitude towards her daughters, her three sisters-in-law would have rebelled long ago.
"Zhengyue, go get a bowl quickly so we can share some Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, otherwise it will get cold soon."
Mrs. Shi stood up suddenly and said with a smile: "Sister, I'll go get it. My hands are not steady during the first month of the year. What if I break the bowl?"
Su Sanlan's face immediately fell when she heard this: "What do you mean, Shi Liu, as an aunt, can't order her niece to do something?"
Mrs. Shi finally realized that she had said the wrong thing and stood there at a loss for what to do for a moment.
Shi Liu felt a little headache watching her mother's rage. Actually, she didn't think her sister-in-law had any objections to her. She probably just wanted to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall quickly. However, her sister-in-law was really mean: "Mom, just sit down and rest. If her sister-in-law is happy to do it, let her do it. Why get angry?"
Su Sanlan sat down on the chair with the help of her daughter and waved her hands impatiently at Mrs. Shi. Why was she so blind to fall in love with Liu Guihua in the first place?
