Chapter 103 White Lies
Gu Jiaojiao pretended not to notice the surprised looks of the two mothers, so there was no need to explain.
She deftly boiled the remaining half of the loach in water, scooped it out and drained it, put oil in the pan, sautéed the shredded ginger, then added the loach and fried it until golden brown.
When you are ready to eat, sauté the minced garlic in a pan, then pour in the fried loach and serve.
Gu Jiaojiao fried another chicken, made a braised pork, and served a plate of the fried snails from lunch, making a total of five meat dishes.
Because Sheng's father and Song Zijie had not yet tasted the fried conch, the others were also still wanting more.
There are still a few pounds of snail meat in Gu Jiaojiao's space, which is especially delicious when fried with green peppers and rice.
It won’t go bad no matter how long you keep it in the space. Whenever you want to eat it, just take it out and fry a dish to satisfy your craving.
Su's mother's vegetarian dishes are particularly delicious. She made a large bowl of cold cucumber salad, some shriveled green beans, some stir-fried loofah, and some braised eggplant.
Sheng Shiwu went straight to the Su's house after school. He told his parents that he was going to a classmate's house for dinner that night.
Because Gu Jiaojiao told him that they were having fried snails at home tonight and asked him to come to the Su's house for dinner after school.
These days, he not only helped Gu Jiaojiao sell spicy strips, but today he also tried to sell sausages.
Jiaojiao said that this ham sausage will not be available on the market for a few years and it is a Western food that Mr. Gu has eaten abroad.
She made it according to Mr. Gu's description and asked him to sell it carefully to the most reliable person.
If they can find a market, they will start producing sausages in advance, and he will manage the factory after he graduates from university.
It’s so exciting just thinking about it. A sausage costs 20 cents and it’s full of meat flavor. Jiaojiao said it has more flour than meat.
But it tastes very good. Today I gave Jiaojiao thirty of them and bought some for three classmates.
Sheng Shiwu walked into the Su family's living room with his feet raised high, looking very proud and confident.
"Grandpa Gu...ah~Dad...why...why are you here?"
Father Sheng saw his third son walk in arrogantly, as if he had done something great for Su.
Seeing that he looked panic-stricken, San'er didn't have any big secrets, he just went to school to sell snacks.
"Xiao Wu, how much did you make from helping Jiao Jiao sell new food today?"
"Dad, how did you know I was selling sausages today? These sausages are better than..."
Sheng Shiwu was just about to show off, but when he saw Su Shuoci looking at him, he immediately covered his mouth with both hands.
He opened his eyes wide and accused his father of being dishonest, how could he slander his son! He panicked because his lie was exposed by his father.
Seeing that everything was written on his third son's face, Mr. Sheng touched his nose in embarrassment and was about to tell a white lie that was harmless.
At this time, Father Gu, Second Brother Gu, and Su Qinchun came back from selling pancakes.
Sheng Shiwu immediately let go of his hand, walked up happily and asked, "Uncle Gu, how much did you sell today?"
"We haven't counted them yet. You'll know after dinner if you help us count them." Father Gu's sallow face was full of smiles.
"Hey, it's expected to be more than yesterday. Xiao Wu, we'll go to your school gate tomorrow to sell it. Do you think anyone will buy it?"
Second Brother Gu said with a smile, and held the paper box containing the money in front of Sheng Shiwu to show off.
"Oh my god, that's so much money. There must be people buying it at the entrance of our school. The pancakes you make are super delicious."
Two people, one fat and one thin, stood in the middle of the living room and chattered, dancing when they were happy.
Looking at his lively and cheerful third son, Mr. Sheng felt as if he had returned to a year ago.
"It's time to eat." Gu Jiaojiao shouted in the kitchen.
Father Su, Father Gu, Second Brother Gu and Sheng Shiwu immediately took action to arrange the tables and chairs.
Someone went into the kitchen to bring the dishes, and soon two full tables of food were ready. The Su family had two tables tonight.
There were only five of us at the small table so the portions were slightly smaller.
Father Sheng was very surprised to see that the Su family cooked nine dishes for one meal, but he saw that the Gu family and Song Zijie were very calm.
Even Xiao Wu was not startled, which shows that the Su family's daily life is so good.
He sat calmly in the seat of honor next to Mr. Gu, drinking the delicious egg and loach soup calmly.
But when I was eating the fried snails, I still had a cracked expression on my face, it was so delicious.
There were eight people at one table: Gu's father and son, eldest brother Gu, Su's father, Sheng's father, Song Zijie, Su Shuoci and Gu Jiaojiao.
The eldest brother of the Gu family and Song Zijie are not in good health, but they eat quite fast and don't eat too much.
Mr. Sheng is usually a serious person, and while eating the delicious meal, he didn't want to talk even more.
At the entire table, only Su Shuoci and Gu Jiaojiao occasionally spoke in low voices.
Su Shuoci diligently helped his wife pick up food, and occasionally used serving chopsticks to help a few elders pick up food.
No one could tell that such a sunny person was a moody person not long ago.
Su's mother, Gu's mother, Sheng Shiwu, Gu Jingtai and Su Qinchun, the five of them sat at a small table.

Gu Jingtai and Sheng Shiwu chattered non-stop while eating.
Su's mother and Gu's mother would chat for a while and help the younger generation to pick up food. Su Qinchun didn't say anything and just focused on eating.
The people in the living room were eating with gusto, and it was very warm even without talking.
But the Sheng family was deserted. Sheng's father sent a message home saying that he would not be home for dinner because he had to go out for a social event.
When Sheng Shiwu went to school in the morning, he said that he would not go home for dinner and wanted to go to his classmate's house for dinner.
Sheng Yueliang was not sure whether her father went for a social event, but she was sure that the third idiot went to the Su family.
"Mom, did Third Brother tell me which classmate's house he was going to?"
"I didn't ask. Xiao Wu has many classmates. They are all in the compound anyway. Is Yueliang worried about your third brother?"
Mother Sheng said gently, enthusiastically helping her daughter pick up food: "Yueliang, eat more and take another day off tomorrow."
"Mom, after dinner, shall we go visit the home of our third brother's good friend?"
Sheng Yueliang really wanted to let her mother know that the three idiots were at that bitch Gu Jiaojiao's house.
But she didn't want to say it directly, in case something went wrong and it ended badly, so she let her mother find out herself.
"Xiao Wu will come back on his own. He's almost twenty years old. Don't worry about him. Come on, eat more."
Mother Sheng picked out the little meat in the bowl and put it into her daughter's bowl, while Sheng Yueliang ate it with peace of mind.
He ate with relish, taking a bite of meat and a bite of rice. His eyes were rolling around, trying to think of some way to expose the three idiots.
There were only three people in the Sheng family having dinner, and there were three dishes in total: stir-fried pork with green beans, loofah soup, and stir-fried shredded pumpkin.
Sheng Shiwen had no appetite at noon. At dinner, he saw his mother gave all the meat to his sister, so he lost even more appetite and ate the vegetarian dishes.
"Mom, have you ever thought that Third Brother didn't go to his classmate's house at all?"
Sheng Yueliang asked angrily while chewing the meat.
"Yueliang, Xiaowu didn't go to his classmate's house, so where would he go?" Mother Sheng asked gently.
In fact, she wanted to say, how could a person of such a grown-up be abducted? But considering her daughter's ability to bear it, Sheng's mother did not say it out loud.
"How should I know where he went? How can you be a mother? You don't care about your son at all."
Mother Sheng: ...
