Chapter 117 Chapter 117 The little boy lowered his head...
The little boy lowered his head like an abandoned puppy, and the young man waited silently by his side until he started to move.
Su Li happened to meet him when she came to the food store to pick up something.
"Sir, it's that lady." Shu Jiu was the first to notice Su Li walking towards him from the street on the right, and he shouted in surprise.
Song Ling followed the line of sight and saw the girl wearing a brand new pink dress. She had her hair in a hanging bun, which was common among unmarried girls nowadays. She had a crabapple blossom pinned on her ear, which made her look more beautiful than the flower.
At this time, Xiao Cheng'an, who was standing next to Song Ling, saw someone he knew and quickly broke free from Shu Jiu's hand. He ran to Su Li, but seemed a little scared and stood still next to Su Li. Su Li looked at the man next to her hesitantly.
The man seemed to notice her embarrassment.
"Xiao An, come here."
"Madam Su is busy today. Let's come back another day."
The little boy called Xiao An looked at Su Li with a look of loss in his eyes and lowered his head when he heard this.
Seeing him like this, Su Li's heart melted. She squatted down and said patiently, "Your name is Xiao An, right?"
The little boy didn't know why the beautiful sister in front of him asked this question, so he nodded.
Su Li, "What do you want to eat?"
The boy didn't react at first, but when he did, his eyes lit up. He uttered two "ahs" sounds, but when he realized that these were the only sounds he could make, he became frustrated and anxious, almost crying.
Seeing this, Song Ling took two steps forward and touched the boy's head. After calming the boy down, he explained to the worried Su Li, "He had an accident when he was young."
Su Li suddenly felt pity, but did not ask any further questions.
"Thank you, Madam Su, for that day." Song Ling said softly, his voice as pleasant as running water hitting pebbles.
Su Li, "It's okay, it's just a small matter." If it were someone else, they would definitely help. Su Li didn't think it was a big deal.
Song Ling didn't say anything. Shu Jiu then stepped forward and handed the large and small packages of various thank-you gifts in his hands to Su Li.
"Madam Su, this is a small gift from our Master, please accept it."
Su Li took a look and saw that they were all very expensive things, so she naturally refused to accept them. It was just the price of a bowl of noodles, not worth so much money. What's more, the food store had the habit of giving away porridge every once in a while. Last summer, when there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, Su Li and her family went to the outside of the city to set up a porridge stall and give away porridge.
"Really, there's no need..." Su Li refused to take it, and after several attempts, she reluctantly accepted it.
After accepting the gift, Su Li welcomed the guests into the shop, poured them some water and asked them to order food.
Shu Jiu said, "Our young master and young master can't eat meat, so as long as it's not meat dishes, it's fine."
Huh? Su Li paused as she poured the tea. Vegetarian? No wonder they were both so thin.
It’s okay for adults, but if children eat vegetarian food all year round, they may suffer from malnutrition in the long run... Su Li was a little hesitant and didn’t know how to persuade the man in front of her.
Just at this moment, Song Ling slowly said, "Just whatever you want."
When Shu Jiu heard this, he became anxious, "But, Master..."
Song Ling, "No problem."
Shu Jiu had no choice but to shut up, but he was still a little worried.
Su Li didn't see this scene. After entering the kitchen, she first looked at what ingredients were left. She found some spare ribs and a small pot of river shrimp left over from the morning. In addition, there were some lettuces and some small green vegetables.
Su Li thought about it and started doing it without hesitation.
About half an hour later, the aroma of food began to waft from the food shop. The aroma made Shu Jiu swallow his saliva at least ten times, and also made the little boy a little restless, moving his butt at least five times.
Only Song Ling's expression did not change, he just stared intently at the paintings on the wall.
"The food is here..." In order to make it easier to work, Su Li wore an apron and tied armbands on her hands, which added a bit of homely air to her look.
The tray made a strange noise when it was placed on the table, and several people's attention was attracted by the delicious dishes on the tray.
Although it is only June now, the weather has gradually started to get hot. Ordinary meals are inevitably a bit greasy, so Su Li specially made fresh and delicious meals. There is a dish of stir-fried small river shrimps, which are fried until they are bright golden yellow; cold lettuce shreds, which are cut thinner than a hair and look particularly refreshing; a dish of sweet and sour pork ribs, which are rosy and shiny in color and sprinkled with sesame seeds, which makes it even more tempting.
In addition, there is a small bowl of steamed egg. There are no bubbles in the steamed egg. It looks soft and tender. There are a few drops of sesame oil and soy sauce on it, and it smells fragrant.
Shu Jiu looked at the food on the table and swallowed his saliva again. He hadn't eaten anything since he got up at dawn this morning, so he was already hungry.
Song Ling, "Eat."
Hearing this, Shu Jiu couldn't hold back any longer and started eating with the bowl in hand. However, he was very sensible and only took what was in front of him, and only took two fixed items, both of which were things that the young master and the little master didn't like to eat.
He first picked up the fragrant little river shrimps, which looked crispy. As expected, when Shu Jiu tasted them, they were extremely crispy. The crispy shell melted in his mouth without chewing, revealing the sweetness of the river shrimps.
This... Even though Shu Jiu, who had been used to eating all kinds of delicacies since he was a child with the young master, couldn't help but be stunned. The taste was not rich, but it was extremely delicious, highlighting the flavor of the river shrimp to the greatest extent. It was better than any he had eaten before, and it was a different taste.
Then Shu Jiu picked up another piece of spareribs. The spareribs were selected from the ribs, which were cut into even pieces and covered with thick sweet and sour sauce. Shu Jiu quickly took a bite. It was sour and sweet, soft and boneless, with a rich taste. Shu Jiu fell in love with it at first bite and quickly swallowed it.
The little boy who was eating steamed eggs nearby also brightened his eyes, but when he saw Shu Jiu eating the spareribs, he stopped. He looked at Song Ling next to him, as if asking if he could eat it.
Seeing this, Song Ling picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for him.
He then smiled, a very faint smile, and seemed very satisfied.
However, when he picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs from the bowl, he hesitated. His expression seemed as if he was unsure whether to eat it or not, and also a little bit like fear.
But in the end, the fragrance lingering on his nose made him unable to resist and he took a light bite.
There was no nausea as expected, but instead a sweet and sour taste. The little boy blinked his eyes and took another big bite. Still no nausea like before. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the man next to him. The man also saw it and seemed a little surprised by this scene, but he did not look particularly surprised.
He reached out and touched the boy's head, as if to encourage him to continue eating.
The little boy was satisfied and began to concentrate on eating.
This scene was naturally seen by Shu Jiu who was standing next to him. He put down his chopsticks and looked excited, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Young Master..."
"Um."
Song Ling said calmly that he understood, and Shu Jiu stopped talking.
Soon, Shu Jiu seemed to have thought of something and looked at his master Song Ling. Song Ling naturally understood the meaning in his eyes, so he also picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, lowered his head and took a light bite.
Sure enough, there was no nausea as he had imagined. Instead, there was a taste that he had not tasted for a long time. He swallowed it slowly, and his stomach did not churn like before. After eating it for a while, he did not feel like vomiting.
"Young Master!" Shu Jiu looked at Song Ling excitedly, the same excitement as before reappearing on his face, but his reaction was even greater than before.
Ever since what happened that year, the young master and the young master have been unable to eat meat. Whenever they eat meat, they will vomit it all out. They have been relying on a vegetarian diet for these years, and their health has been getting worse and worse. They didn't expect that they could eat meat again today. Naturally, Shu Jiu was very excited.
Song Ling was also confused, but the look of astonishment on his face was quickly replaced by calmness.
Then the three of them each had a piece, and soon all the dishes on the table were finished.
When paying the bill, Shu Jiu wanted to kneel down and bow to Su Li several times, but he finally held back, but tears were in his eyes.
"Thank you so much, Madam Su."
?
What's going on? Even if the food is delicious, it shouldn't be so delicious that it makes you cry, right?
"Thank you so much, our young master..." Shu Jiu paused as if he had thought of something, "I mean, Madam Su's cooking is so delicious."
Su Li, "Thank you."
It is naturally a good thing to be praised by guests, and Su Li is also happy that she can make food that makes people happy.
"This is what our young master asked me to give you." Shu Jiu then remembered what his young master had told him just now, and took out a silver ingot from his pocket, another 20 taels. Su Li was not willing to accept it. The 20 taels of silver he gave to the other party last time had not been returned yet, so how could he accept it again? What's more, the other party brought so many things today. Su Li just took a look and found that there was even a ginseng in it. It looked like it was at least several decades old, and it would cost at least 20 taels of silver in the pharmacy.
Su Li felt so unworthy that she refused to accept the 20 taels of silver and even wanted to return the thank-you gift. Seeing this, Shu Jiu was so frightened that he stopped forcing the money on Su Li and quickly slipped away.
.
Wen family, "Sir, Miss Su doesn't want it." Shu Jiu reported back.
Song Ling was sitting by the window reading a book. Hearing this, he nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing this, Shu Jiu said nothing more. The young master was very good at predicting things and must have anticipated this outcome.
However, what he didn't see was that after he left, the man put down the book in his hand, and for the first time a look of doubt appeared in his eyes, which quickly disappeared into his deep pupils.
.
After seeing off a few people, Su Li took off her apron and sleeves and rested for a while. Without stopping, she went back to the house to get her things, closed the shop and walked towards her new home.
The new house was very close to the shop and arrived in less than a quarter of an hour. Before entering the door, Su Li heard all kinds of voices inside. A smile appeared on her face. She stepped into the new house and also stepped into a new stage of life.
When the people in the yard saw her coming, they all greeted her with a smile, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, "Wu Ya is back."
"Wu Ya is so pretty, just like her mother."
“Yes.”
Everyone greeted each other and started chatting. Someone was curious, "Wu Ya is sixteen this year, right? Have you mentioned her?"
"Not yet. Let's talk to her fourth sister first." Chen responded from the side.
"Yeah, no rush."
At this moment, someone suddenly said something arrogant, "If it were you, you should just marry a daughter-in-law. You have earned so much wealth now, why bother marrying your daughter off to another family and let her suffer?"
That person was a relative from Chen's maternal side, called Second Aunt. The reason why Second Aunt spoke without restraint was naturally because her husband was a son-in-law, and she naturally understood the benefits of being a son-in-law. First of all, her husband's family would not dare to set rules in front of her, and secondly, she would not have to go to her husband's family to suffer all the torture, and she would have to please her and hope that she would be nicer to their son.
