But I think my sister-in-law and mother won't blame her too much because of the 30 kilograms of vermicelli! After all, she is innocent.
"I don't know either. My family probably won't call us unfilial, but if outsiders find out, they'll definitely scold us."
Song Tanglan thought about the things in the big package, and then looked at the things in the sacks not far away. She now wished she could stuff these hundreds of pounds of dregs into the package when she was packing it, and ask her second brother-in-law to send it back.
In particular, the starch content of potatoes is not as high as that of sweet potatoes, so there will be more starch residue left.
But now she couldn't imagine how strange the post office staff's faces would be when they checked the package and saw what was inside.
This was also the reason why she was unwilling to go to the commune today. She really didn't want to be stared at like a monkey by Sister Tian, so she rejected Su Tao's invitation.
…
After the Song family received the package, it was just as they had expected. When Su He and Qiao Yue opened the package and saw what was inside, their faces looked really weird. This made Song Tanghong next to them very confused, and he asked curiously.
"What was this mail? Why do you look so strange?"
"If you want to know, you'll know once you see it." Seeing that he was curious, Qiao Yue pushed all the things in front of Song Tanghong and let him see the good things his two sisters sent him.
When Song Tanghong saw the residue in the cloth bag, he became speechless.
"No, my second sister and the others thought we were starving to death in the city. What is this? Did they send it back to poison us?"
"I don't know what this is. It smells like sweet potato, but it doesn't look like sweet potato." Qiao Yue also wanted to study the residue in the bag. What on earth was it? Although it was completely dry, it was indeed difficult for her to recognize it.
Su He was reading the letter written to her by the two sisters at that time, so she did not answer the young couple's questions. She only spoke after she finished reading the contents of the letter.
"Your two sisters figured out how to make vermicelli with sweet potatoes and potatoes. These are the leftovers from making the vermicelli. They had too much leftover and couldn't finish it, so they sent it to us."
After saying that, he took out everything in the package and opened the more than 30 kilograms of vermicelli to show them.
"Don't study that anymore, the vermicelli is here!"
When Qiao Yue heard this, she was curious. She opened the oil paper and looked at the vermicelli inside with some surprise. She asked Su He with some doubt.
"Mom, are you sure this is made from sweet potatoes and potatoes? It looks like fine grains. I wonder if it tastes good?"
After seeing the appearance of the vermicelli, Song Tanghong also nodded.
In fact, this vermicelli doesn’t seem to be made from sweet potatoes or potatoes, but more like it is made from fine grains.
"You two sisters can't really lie to you. Besides, if these vermicelli noodles are not made of sweet potatoes and potatoes, where do these potato residues come from?"
After saying that, he pointed to the pile of things that they were not very optimistic about.
After hearing this, Qiao Yue smelled the two bags and the powder inside. Only then did she stop doubting and asked.
"My little sister and the others sent us so much food, what do they eat?"
"Alan said that this is the food they grew on their own plots. They haven't distributed it yet this year, and the harvest is pretty good this year, so they don't need any food. They told us to eat it without worry and said they would send us more later. They're afraid that sending too much at once would be too conspicuous."
Su He couldn't help but feel relieved when she talked about this. Her little daughter had grown up and was now starting to worry about her family.
After hearing this, the couple no longer had any doubts and continued to check the contents of the package.
"Then Mom, let's try this vermicelli tonight. If it tastes good, we can buy some and make it ourselves. We can then ask the two little sisters how to make it. This looks like fine grains, and the price is a lot cheaper than it is now!"
Qiao Yue touched the vermicelli, but just as she finished speaking, she saw Su He take out other things from the package.
There are dried fish, pickles, sun-dried mushrooms, hazelnuts, chestnuts and walnuts.
At the end of every year, the young couple would send them a lot of these things, and this year they sent them an especially large amount.
Su He took out all the things, divided them into three parts, and then said this.
"Ayue, take these back to your parents to try. These are for Ayu. Let Aqing take them when she comes back."
Qiao Yue looked at the pile of things given to her and asked in surprise.
"Mom, isn't this too much? I'll only take this part back and let my parents have a taste. You can keep these!" After Qiao Yue said this, she followed her own thoughts and only took half of the pile of things. She pushed the rest back in front of Su He.
Su He looked at her and saw that she only took some extra potatoes and sweet potato scraps, and waved her hand helplessly.
"Everyone will have a hard time next year, so take it back! It's not easy to buy food in the city now. The price of food has risen so high. What you give it to me is yours."
After saying that, he helped her pack all the things into the package. Since the beginning of this year, they have been stockpiling food since they got the news from their two daughters. Now the family has bought a lot of food and stored it, but they don’t know what the situation will be like in the future.
Qiao Yue's family was relatively well-off, but they had not prepared much food at the beginning. Now they had to queue up every day to buy food, but they might not be able to buy any even after queuing for a whole day. It just so happened that this food could be given to the in-laws on both sides as an emergency measure.
Song Tanghong also guessed that his mother was considering their small family, so he asked his daughter-in-law to take over.
"Just take these. My little sister told me it's easy for them to get whole grains in the countryside. Just send them some extra money when the time comes. Mother, food prices have gone up again. The black market is also in short supply, and whole grains have already risen to 50 cents."
