The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then dinner was served at home.
Yu Sui was afraid that Sun Yuying would be unhappy when she heard her calling Wu Su her godmother, so she found some excuses and explained in advance, saying that she was just upset because Wu Su had no children and was always willing to help her, and that if she returned to the north to give birth in the future, Wu Su could also help.
As soon as Sun Yuying heard the reason, she immediately stopped caring:
"That's right. You said you'd give birth in the north, and I wouldn't be able to take care of you. If it were really nice to have someone local help, then fine. I'll definitely treat this woman well. But this woman looks a little weird. Her nose is so high, and her eyes look different from ours."
"They are just a minority, so there are some differences in appearance, nothing else."
"Oh, my daughter is so amazing. She even knows someone like this. My dog is really capable!"
Sun Yuying turned into a die-hard fan of her daughter, and she was so obsessed with everything that she completely forgot that she had secretly complained to Yu Hemiao about Yu Sui calling a woman with gray-brown eyes her godmother.
The family had dinner happily.
We cooked braised big fish head, salted pork and radish soup, and many winter vegetables, such as pickled radish, and stir-fried vegetables.
Although it was not common for the Yu family to eat meat in this era, the dishes here were much richer and more refined than those in the north.
This can be seen from Wusu's performance.
She ate two large bowls of rice, half a fish head, two large bowls of soup, and even finished a whole bowl of vegetables by herself.
Sun Yuying was a little reluctant, with a hint of heartache in the corner of her eyes, but Yu Haichao was more honest and said to Wu Su happily: "This auntie likes it, please eat more, eat, eat enough!"
Wu Su nodded repeatedly. "You, you've eaten too much. I used to know that Jiangnan was rich, but now I know it's not richness, it's refinement. Let me tell you, we never cook fish or meat like this. It's really you who cook it this way and you've eaten too much."
Speaking of this, Sun Yuying, who was distressed at first, became proud:
"Oh, let me tell you, big sister, our family is willing to use oil and salt. The dishes we cook are the most delicious in our village. Other families are not as generous as us! Isn't this all made especially for us since my son has returned? You can enjoy it. I will cook it again when my son comes back someday."
If other people heard this kind of words, they would definitely feel offended.
What do you mean? So these dishes are cooked for your daughter, and I just brought them along. Is this how you treat guests? But Wu Su didn't mind at all, and happily agreed: "That's great, I'll wait to eat them."
Yu Sui had been feeling a little nauseous these past few days, but after returning home and eating home-cooked meals, her appetite improved a lot. She drank several bowls of soup without realizing it, and Sun Yuying was very happy.
The adults were all enjoying their meal, but Yu Sui found that her eldest niece seemed too quiet.
Yu Sui finished eating first and pulled Yu Lanlan over to talk: "Lanlan, you don't seem to eat much these days, do you?"
Yu Lanlan had been chewing a bone obediently before, but after hearing what Yu Sui said, her mouth pursed, and she actually looked a little aggrieved: "Auntie..."
"What's going on?"
"Nothing." Yu Lanlan tried to smile again, sucking the bones in big mouthfuls, and then she cleaned up the remaining bones and everything else, even Yu Sui's bowl, and said, "Auntie, please sit down. I'll go wash the dishes and talk to you."
At this time, the adults had finished eating. Yu Haichao and Sun Yuying took Wu Su to see their own private plots. Yu Hemiao was feeding Yu Guo. Six-year-old Yu Lanlan quietly cleaned up all the bowls by herself, put them on the stove, and then took a wooden stool to prop her feet up, apparently preparing to wash all the bowls.
Yu Sui walked over and said, "Lanlan, leave it there. Auntie will come."
Yu Hemiao raised her head from the side and said, "Second sister, it's okay. Let Lanlan wash the dishes. She's already grown up and should be able to do something. She could have washed the dishes a long time ago."
Yu Lanlan also smiled at Yu Sui: "Yes, Auntie, I can wash it."
Yu Sui wanted to see how such a young child washed dishes, so she didn't say anything. She just sat aside and watched, chatting with her sister in a casual manner.
The little girl Yu Lan skillfully scooped water from the soup pot, then used a small brush made of palm vines to clean each bowl one by one, filtered it, and finally wiped it dry.
Judging from his proficiency, he has been washing for at least a few months.
Children from poor families have to grow up early. They are only six years old, but they are so capable.
After Yu Lanlan finished washing the dishes, she got down from the small stool, moved the small stool with her, and sat next to Yu Sui. Just as she was about to sit down, Yu Hemiao said naturally, "Don't sit down yet. My sister's lunch bag hasn't been washed yet."
The little girl went to wash the child's lunch bag again.
After she finished washing and just sat down, Yu Hemiao said, "What happened to you yesterday? Did you forget to boil water? What did you and your sister wash your faces and feet with? Why are you so ignorant now that your aunt is back? Go quickly!"
Yu Lanlan stood up obediently again, moved a small stool to sit on, and scooped water to boil.
They are all very skilled.
Yu Sui walked over and pulled her away: "Lanlan is really capable. You have done so much work. Auntie will reward you with a box of crayons. Come on, follow Auntie to get it."
Yu Lanlan blushed and looked at her mother.
Yu Hemiao frowned: "Then you go with your aunt."
Only then did Yu Lanlan happily follow Yu Sui to the room.
Yu Sui gave Yu Lanlan the crayons and the small drawing stick she had prepared long ago: "Do you like it?"
Yu Lanlan raised her eyes, sparkling, and said, "I like it! Auntie, this is very expensive, right?"
Yu Sui smiled a little. Such a young child actually had no concept of money, but Lanlan actually asked about expensive and cheap first. She must have heard it from adults.
Yu Sui: "It's okay, not too expensive, my aunt can afford it."
Yu Lanlan smiled and said, "Then, how much should I give to my sister?"
"No. My sister is still young and doesn't like to play with crayons. Auntie will give her something else. This one is specially for you."
"Specially for me? Only for me?" The child actually repeated it twice, with a gleam in his eyes.
Yu Sui nodded: "Yes. Only for you."
Yu Lanlan smiled widely: "Thank you, auntie. I'll show it to mom."
"Go ahead, auntie, look through some of the things specially given to your sister."
"Hey!" Yu Lanlan jumped out and shouted, "Mom, mom, look, the pen my aunt gave me is so beautiful!"
Finally he looks like a child again!
Yu Sui listened to the cheers and the corners of her mouth curled up. She went into the space and bought a plush toy and a small trumpet suitable for young children, as well as some vitamin candies and other things suitable for children, and brought them over.
But he just heard Yu Hemiao scolding Yu Lanlan, and it was quite harsh.
