"Mom, do we really have to cook for her?" Xiao Wu came to the kitchen at some point and asked Su Qing with his head tilted up.
"Do it, why not."
The show has just begun, how can we ruin the upcoming excitement because of a little food?
What's more, we still don't know the specific purpose of Cheng Fangqin's coming to Shuixiang Village, so it would be too simple and rough to break up with her now.
"She just said to me, 'Your face isn't a face, your nose isn't a nose.' I feel bad for making noodles for her."
Xiaowu protected the noodles with a reluctant look on his face.
"I didn't really tell her to make noodles."
Anyone who comes is a guest, and the guest should follow the host's wishes.
How could Cheng Fangqin cook whatever she wanted to eat?
"Then what are you cooking?" Xiaowu asked.
"Sweet potato pancakes and scrambled eggs with wild vegetables."
In recent years, the main form of food distribution has been sweet potatoes, and every household carries bags of sweet potatoes home.
Most of the Su family’s sweet potatoes were boiled, sliced, and dried.
There is still some left, and Su Qing plans to eat it all before spring plowing.
"Then I'll light the fire for you." Xiaowu rolled up his sleeves and skillfully broke the branches and stuffed them into the stove.
"Xiaowu, I have a very difficult task for you. You have to help me keep an eye on the people outside and prevent them from wandering around our house and touching anything. Okay?"
Many things in the house are from the 21st century, and Su Qing doesn't want too many people to come into contact with them now.
"Okay, then I'll call my brother to light the fire."
Xiao Wu ran away without waiting for Su Qing's consent.
After a while, Sanya came running over, "Mom, you light the fire and I'll cook."
"Where's Xiaoliu? Xiaowu said he wanted Xiaoliu to come work."
"Outside, chatting with that cheap aunt. Okay, mother, go and light the fire, I'll knead the dough."
Seeing that his roles were reversed with San Ya, Su Qing felt a little sad.
Sometimes it is not a good thing for a child to be too outstanding, as it makes you, as a mother, feel no sense of participation.
In the yard~
The children of the Su family surrounded Cheng Fangqin.
"Aunt, I heard you're from Beijing. Is Beijing big? Do you have candied haws, crispy cakes, and almond milk?"
"Aunt, are there any cars in the capital?"
"Aunt, are people in Beijing all very rich? The kind that eats meat every meal?"
"Aunt, is Beijing roast duck delicious? Is it expensive? Can you treat us to it?"
“Auntie, auntie…”
The children pretended to be innocent and naive, surrounding Cheng Fangqin and asking questions non-stop, with deep desire in their eyes.
This made Cheng Fangqin feel even more superior.
"Ahem...be quiet, be quiet. You're asking one by one. What's the point of making so much noise? It's really uncultured." Cheng Fangqin replied in a pretentious manner.
"Children in the capital aren't as chattering and unruly as you. Take your cousins, for example. They're well-educated, polite, and well-spoken. Everywhere they go, everyone praises them. And look at you, dusty and loud-mouthed, I'd be ashamed to bring you out."
Besides, the capital isn't like a small place like Yuanshan Town, where you can't get anything for nothing. The capital is incredibly prosperous. There's chocolate, soda, canned fruit—everything you can think of. But I guess you can't afford them. You need foreigner coupons to buy those things. I only got to try them a few times thanks to your cousin.
You can buy soap boxes, radios, alarm clocks, Harry oil, and old Beijing shoes just by going out.
There are also buses. You know what buses are, they're like coaches, they run multiple times a day, unlike you, where they only run once a day, like charity."
Cheng Fangqin's tone was very smug, as if all the things she was talking about were hers.
"Wow." The children all exclaimed in amazement.
The flattery that came one after another made Cheng Fangqin lose herself a little.
Xiaoliu gave a wink, and Xiaowu quickly put his arm around Cheng Fangqin.
"Aunt, this capital city is so nice. I really want to eat chocolate soda and cake. Aunt, did you bring them this time?"
Xiaowu's words made Cheng Fangqin embarrassed.
She had never thought about bringing anything to the door, and she was even planning to take something valuable home.
Cheng Fangqin smiled awkwardly and replied, "My aunt came in a hurry and didn't bring it."
"Oh, I wanted to show off to Erpang that my aunt from Beijing brought me a lot of new things." Xiaowu pretended to be disappointed.
Seeing this, Su Qianshan and Daya and the others came forward to "lecture" Xiaowu.
"Aunt didn't mean it, just forgive her."
"Look at how plainly my aunt is dressed. Chocolate and other things sound very expensive. My aunt probably can't afford them."
"That's right, don't you see that my aunt's clothes are all starched? How dare you ask my aunt for food?"
"That's right, Auntie hasn't eaten it many times. If you really want to eat it, ask your cousin to buy it for you. Didn't my cousin buy it for Auntie?"
"If you didn't bring it this time, you can bring it next time. Why are you looking so sad? Look how scared you made your aunt. Come and apologize to her."
On the surface, the children were scolding Xiaowu one after another, but in fact, they were almost rubbing Cheng Fangqin's face on the ground.
Su Qing was in the kitchen listening to the noise outside and burst into laughter.
Cheng Fangqin almost lost the smile on her face. She suppressed her anger, took Xiaowu's hand and whispered to comfort him, "Xiaowu, auntie really didn't mean it. I just miss your father too much.
Knowing I could come and see your father, I didn't even have time to prepare a change of clothes before rushing over. I really didn't mean to not bring you gifts, so how about this, I'll double the amount next time I come, okay?"
At this moment, Cheng Fangqin, who was speaking softly, looked like a caring parent.
But the smiling surface hides an extremely dirty heart: A bunch of country bumpkins are worthy of eating the things I, Cheng Fangqin, buy? Bah, I'm lucky enough that I didn't ask you to honor me.
All they ask for is gifts. What a bunch of poor bastards.
If it weren't for my eldest son's future, I wouldn't even want to come to this godforsaken place.
unlucky……
In comparison, she felt that the two unreliable sons in the family who had accomplished nothing were not so annoying.
But the children of the Su family are not innocent little white rabbits who can be slaughtered at will.
They saw through Cheng Fangqin's duplicity at a glance.
So Xiaowu pretended to be anxious and said, "Ah, Auntie is so anxious to see Daddy? Brother Qianshan, please take Auntie to the factory to find my daddy. Don't wait until after dinner. Look at how anxious my Auntie is. Her face has turned pale."
Su Qianshan pretended to push the cart.
Cheng Fangqin panicked.
She is not in a hurry, she just wants to eat now.
I've been hungry for a whole day and night. If I don't eat something, I'll die.
Cheng Fangqin waved her hands and said, "No, no, I can't delay your father from going to work. Auntie can wait. I've waited for more than ten years. What else can I do for a little while longer?"
Xiaowu looked completely convinced.
Cheng Fangqin was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.
Just as she was racking her brains to think of an excuse, Su Qing came out and said, "It's time for dinner. Wash your hands and eat."
The children dispersed in a swarm, and Cheng Fangqin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
