Chapter 106 Salty and Bitter
As Father Sheng spoke, he took out two bags of spicy strips and two sausages and handed them to Grandpa Sheng, and then gave the rest to his second brother.
"These are for my nephews. They are delicious. You and your sister-in-law can also try some."
"Thank you, brother. You always bring us food every time you come to visit dad." Uncle Sheng happily took the food and thanked him.
Mr. Sheng also happily took it and said, "Come on, if you have anything important to say, let's go to my room and talk."
Uncle Sheng thought that his eldest brother came to discuss his niece's marriage with their father.
He didn't follow him in, but took his things and went upstairs to find his wife and children.
Naturally, Mr. Sheng talked about everything with his dad, and told his dad about his encounter with Gu Jiaojiao and Gu Jiaojiao's attitude towards him.
"Is the Su family making so much money selling cold noodles? They actually have nine dishes in one meal." Old Master Gu was envious.
Old Master Sheng also thought that his son came to discuss with him the marriage of his granddaughter, but he didn't know that he was here to show off.
So he said quietly: "I'm over 60 years old and I've never eaten fried snails!"
Father Sheng: ...
Fried conch was not available in all the state-owned restaurants in Qingcheng. He couldn't ask Jiaojiao's family for some for his father to try! "I've seen Jiaojiao twice since she got married. Your son was always looking for trouble with her. But I didn't go to help her."
Seeing that his son remained silent, Mr. Sheng continued.
"Jiaojiao doesn't need our help now. On the contrary, she has saved Cuiping many times."
"I also heard that Jiaojiao risked her life to save Ren Cuiping once. How many times did she save her? Does Jiaojiao know medicine?"
Old Master Sheng asked in surprise. He heard from the old man from the Song family that his eldest grandson could be saved.
They were very mysterious and didn't tell me where they invited this miracle doctor from.
"Yes, Jiaojiao should know a little bit about medicine, as she has been weak and sickly since she was a child.
Dr. Jiang had treated her for many years and praised her as a good candidate for studying medicine, but her son seemed to have no interest in her.
I didn’t help her find a teacher, and I thought she didn’t learn anything, but it turns out she really has a talent for medicine.”
The father and son became more and more excited as they talked, and they forgot about time, which made Sheng Shiwu suffer.
As soon as he got home, he saw his mother still watching TV in the living room. He was very surprised: "Mom, why are you in the living room?"
"I'm not in the living room. Where should I be?" asked Sheng's mother angrily.
"You usually go upstairs at this time, I'm just surprised, Mom, why are you angry?"
Sheng Shiwu instantly changed his strategy and decided to please his mother first to prevent her from rummaging through his schoolbag.
What he carries in his bag is not books, but food. It will be difficult to save the situation if the secret is exposed.
When Mother Sheng saw that her youngest son was acting like a lackey, her original anger instantly turned into grievance.
"Your father won't come back for dinner, and you won't come back for dinner either. Do you still want this family? Your eldest brother left early in the morning, and I didn't even have time to prepare food for him."
"Mom, you work so hard all day and you still have to take care of the moon, so we don't want you to worry about it. It's not the first time my eldest brother has been away from home, so don't worry."
Jiaojiao prepared several big bags of food and daily necessities for my elder brother, but Sheng Shiwu didn't dare to say this.
"Xiao Wu, you really won't blame me for putting all my thoughts on your sister. Your eldest brother won't blame mom, right?"
"Yes, we like our sister too. How can we blame you? Mom, you should take care of yourself. You have lost weight recently."
Sheng Shiwu really didn't blame his mother, so what he said came from the heart.
Mother Sheng finally found comfort in her youngest son, and she continued to talk on and on, saying that Yueliang had not eaten tonight because she was worried about her third brother.
Sheng Shiwu was deeply moved and felt deeply guilty when he heard his second brother's heavenly voice coming from the corridor on the second floor.
"Mom, we can understand that your heart and eyes are full of moons, but she ate the whole bowl of meat tonight and ate two bowls of rice. Why didn't she eat?"
After Sheng Shiwen finished speaking, he went into the room. Sheng Shiwu had never been so grateful to his second brother before.
He was shocked. He really thought Yueyue was worried that he hadn't eaten, but he ate three bowls of rice at Jiaojiao's house.
This made him feel guilty! Sheng Shiwu patted his chest and said, "It's good, it's good that Yueliang can eat meat."
Thank God, thank the earth, and thank the moon for not letting him down.
If Yueliang was really worried about him, Sheng Shiwu didn't know what to do, "Mom, are you worried about me so much that I didn't eat?"
"Mom is not hungry. Did you eat enough at your classmate's house?" Sheng's mother herself didn't know whether she was full from anger or something else.
"I won't go to my classmate's house for dinner next time. I'll come back every day to eat with my mom and sister."
Sheng Shiwu said sincerely that he used to go to the Su's house after eating at home, and he could still get a bowl of rice.

After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't take out the spicy strips and sausages in front of his mother.
He said ashamedly: "Mom, I'll go cook a bowl of noodles for you. It's not good for your stomach if you don't eat."
"Xiao Wu, can you cook noodles?" asked Sheng's mother in disbelief.
"I can cook, Mom. Just wait." Sheng Shiwu said confidently.
He has been helping the Su family make spicy noodles these days. He knows how to light the fire and wash the pot.
Although he had never cooked noodles, he roughly knew how to make them. Jiaojiao had learned how to cook, so why couldn't he learn it?
The Sheng family uses honeycomb coal. Sheng Shiwu walked into the kitchen and skillfully opened the door of the coal stove.
He washed the pot and added water, then looked towards the kitchen door and quietly took out two sausages and a bag of spicy strips from his schoolbag.
Just as Mother Sheng was lost in thought, a bowl of fragrant noodles was placed in front of her.
Mother Sheng was stunned. Her sons had grown up without her noticing, and Xiao Wu could even cook noodles.
Father Sheng came back at this time, "What are you eating? It smells so good."
"Dad, my mom is worried that you haven't had dinner yet, so I cooked a bowl of noodles for you."
After Sheng Shiwu finished speaking, he went upstairs quickly. He couldn't bear to see his mother and sister in tears.
"Lao Sheng, do you want to eat some more? The noodles cooked by Xiao Wu smell delicious."
"Cui Ping, please eat. I'm very full tonight." Father Sheng's voice sounded very happy.
Mother Sheng and Father Sheng have been married for 26 years. She knows him too well. Even without his daughter around, he must enjoy his meals even more.
So Mother Sheng started eating the noodles without any hesitation. She picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and it was so salty that it was difficult to swallow.
Mother Sheng still swallowed it down forcefully and had to get up and pour some boiling water into the bowl.
Then she started to eat the topping on the noodles. This time she ate it with gusto. Except for the salty noodles, the topping was really delicious.
Father Sheng sat next to his wife and watched her cooking. He understood that the fragrance mainly came from the eggs, ham, and the spicy strips made by the Su family.
