Chapter 305: Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Oranges



"Mom." Tang Zijun called Tang Meilan while laughing, his eyes almost narrowed into slits.

Tang Meilan went up to greet everyone one by one, and then slowly went to rescue Tang Zijun who was laughing so hard that he almost choked.

But after a while, Tang Zijun started playing with Hei Ye again.

"Qianshan Qianfan, wash your hands and serve the dishes and meals. Meilan, you can live in this room and see if you need anything."

Su Qing led the person into the house.

Because Uncle Qi's family didn't have a ready-made bed frame, the bed in this room was temporarily made with long benches and wooden boards.

"That's enough, it's complete enough. Even my own home may not be this complete."

Pillows, bedding, toothbrushes and toothpaste, new towels, and a kettle, it's perfectly equipped.

"How is it? After you returned to the Tang family, your mother-in-law didn't make things difficult for you anymore, right?" Wen Li walked over, hugged Tang Meilan and asked.

When they returned to Yuanshan Town, the conflict between Tang Meilan and her mother had not been resolved.

Tang Meilan no longer mentioned the Tang family in her later letters. They didn't ask, but they were always thinking about them.

"I moved out."

"What!"

"What!"

Both of them looked shocked.

"Did she kick you out or did you want to move out?"

"Don't worry, I moved out on my own. I didn't want to argue with her every day, so I just moved out. Don't worry, I'm doing well now. Next time you come to the provincial capital, you can stay at my place. It's near the No. 1 Primary School in the provincial capital."

Tang Meilan's smile was very bright.

Su Qing could not find any sadness on her face, and slowly began to believe what she said.

"Do you have enough money to spend?"

"It's enough. Renting a house won't cost much."

The rent is five dollars a month, and I pay the electricity bill as much as I want, and the landlord doesn't ask any questions.

But this kind of private transaction is not allowed now, so she told the landlord that they were distant relatives and were currently staying at the landlord's house.

"If you have anything to say, you must tell me."

"I know."

The three of them stayed there affectionate for a long time, until Qianshan called them to eat, and then they reluctantly let go.

"Hurry up, hurry up, serve it, I've made all your favorite dishes."

The Su family was busy preparing dinner today, some killing chickens, some picking vegetables, some frying fish and meatballs, some steaming pork... everyone was busy.

Because there were too many people, two tables were set up.

One table for men and one table for women.

It's not a gender conflict, Su Qing and the others just want to get together and chat about gossip.

The man always loved to play finger-guessing games, which really disturbed their conversation, so he was sent to another table.

"Come here, Meilan, I'll serve you a bowl of chicken soup. The chicken has been simmering since noon, and it smells so good." Mother Su enthusiastically served Tang Meilan soup and some vegetables.

Seeing the table full of delicious food, Tang Meilan was excited again.

"Don't cry, the reunion dinner should be happy. Come, eat the food."

Tang Meilan wiped the tears from her face carelessly. "Look at me, I'm so disappointed. I don't know what's happened recently, but my eye sockets have become so shallow. Come on, everyone, eat, eat."

The wind is howling outside, but it is harmonious and warm inside.

The meal started everyone talking.

After clearing away the dishes and extra tables, a group of people gathered around the brazier and started roasting fire.

"What are Xiao Ci's plans now? I heard that he changed his career, right?" Su's mother was very concerned about Tang Ci's personal development, which was related to Meilan's future living standards.

"Yes, I have changed my job and transferred to the Armed Forces Department. I will start working after the New Year. Aunt, don't worry, I will hand over all my salary to Meilan without leaving a penny." Tang Ci awkwardly buttoned the exposed part of his socks.

The flames were bright and shone on Su's mother's face.

The expressionless look makes it difficult to read.

"Isn't this as it should be? From your tone, it seems like this is a great thing."

This time Tang Meilan did not speak up for Tang Ci.

She knew that the Su family was helping her establish her authority, just to let Tang Ci's family know that even though she, Tang Meilan, had lost her biological mother, she still had the support of her natal family.

"Yes, yes, it's what I should do. I was very inconsiderate in what I did before, and I deeply realize my mistakes. I hope Auntie can give me another chance to redeem myself and hand Meilan over to me. I will definitely take good care of her."

"Just remember this. If you dare to do anything bad to Meilan, I will catch you and beat you up even if you run to the ends of the earth. Also, domestic violence and infidelity are the bottom line. There is zero tolerance. Once you betray Meilan, there will be no possibility between you two."

"Aunt, I can write a letter of guarantee. I will definitely do what I say."

Tang Ci's tone was very sincere, and Su's mother stopped making things difficult for him. She took out a pen and paper and changed the subject.

Su Qing and Tang Meilan smiled at each other.

"Did you hear me? If anything goes wrong, tell your family. We're all family, so don't ever be afraid of trouble."

"Don't worry, I'll come and tell you even the smallest thing. I'll annoy you to death, hum."

While the sisters were chatting, a round head popped in.

He looked around stupidly for a while, then stealthily took out a sweet potato from his pocket and threw it into the brazier.

Then came the second, the third...

Soon, there were seven or eight plump sweet potatoes lying in the brazier.

"Xiao Wu, I told you not to overeat. It will make your stomach uncomfortable."

Su Qing noticed that Xiaowu ate two large bowls of rice, a bowl of chicken soup, a large pork elbow, and a lot of other dishes during dinner.

Now if you stuff so many roasted sweet potatoes into the brazier all at once, your stomach will probably burst.

"Mom, I'm just an errand boy. These are not for me to eat alone. You always criticize me, huh." Xiao Wu pouted, looking unhappy, but his hands were still honest as he put a few more oranges next to the brazier.

He wasn't the only one eating roasted sweet potatoes; he was eating roasted oranges.

If he hadn't had bad luck and hadn't lost repeatedly at Gobang, he wouldn't have had to do this kind of job that would have gotten him scolded.

"Then you will have your share. You've already eaten a lot tonight. I'm just worried about your health."

I touched Xiaowu's belly, it was round and plump, like a small ball.

Su Qing was worried that it would explode.

"Mom, is it possible that my stomach is just this big? If I don't eat more, I'll starve." Xiao Wu snuggled in Su Qing's arms and said coquettishly.

Besides, he has lost weight and now looks only one or two sizes bigger than Xiaoliu. It doesn't matter if he eats a little more.

"Are you really hungry? How about I take you there some other day? If you have such a big appetite naturally, then I won't stop you from eating in the future, okay?"

"OK."

As long as he can eat his fill, Xiaowu doesn’t care what he watches or how he watches it.

"Then go play with your brothers and sisters. Mom will call you when the roasted sweet potatoes are ready."

"Thank you, mom. You are so nice, Mu." Xiaowu kissed Su Qing on the face and ran away excitedly.
