Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Otherwise, how can we say that when we talk about Cao Cao...
Otherwise, why is there an old saying that goes, Speak of the devil and he will appear? Some things are fine if you don't say them, but once you say them, they will come true. You can't predict the future of this person either. If you talk about someone behind their back, that person will immediately appear in front of you, and sometimes you won't even know where they come from.
"Mom, look, isn't that fourth brother and the others?" Chen said excitedly as she looked at the figures on the small road shrouded in twilight.
Su Dad was the fourth son born to Mrs. Wu and the only one she raised. Chen usually called him Fourth Brother.
"It seems so." Mrs. Wu leaned forward and looked over with half-closed eyes. Her eyesight has not been very good in recent years. She can no longer see clearly at a distance like before.
Old Man Su did the same. He looked for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said, "Yes, it's them."
"Dad is back!"
"Second brother, third brother."
Su Tao was the latest to discover it. She was so excited that she threw all the rabbit grass into the wooden cage and quickly ran to open the door made of wooden fence.
"father!"
In addition to Mrs. Wu who had difficulty walking, Mrs. Chen and Old Man Su also followed closely and went to meet them.
"The child's father..."
"Erlang Sanlang..."
"Father, Mother, Fourth Sister..."
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and both sides were a little excited, but outside was not a good place to talk after all.
“Come in, come in…”
Chen quickly welcomed the person in.
"Mom, is your foot okay?" Father Su put down the rope and tools he was carrying.
"Grandma, are your feet feeling better?" Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe also stepped forward and asked.
"Okay, okay."
Mrs. Wu became darker and thinner. She looked at her son in the yard, and then touched her two grandsons who came forward. She felt happy, excited and sad, with tears welling up in her eyes.
When the three of them left, they clearly still had some flesh on their bodies, but now they were so thin that their cheeks were sunken. When Mrs. Wu grabbed her grandson's arm, it hurt, and it was obvious that they had suffered a lot recently.
"How come you've lost so much weight?" said Mrs. Wu. She felt like her heart was being stabbed by a needle. The strong young man was now as thin as a bamboo pole.
Chen, who was standing by, felt very uncomfortable as well. The moment her husband and son entered the house, she noticed that there was a lot of empty space in their clothes. She had been busy at home recently and had no time to deliver meals herself. She asked other families in the village to deliver meals to them every day. She had never seen her husband and son in person, and who would have thought that she almost didn't recognize them when she saw them again.
"It's okay, isn't everything fine?" The thing that Su's father couldn't handle the most in his life was his mother and wife crying. He was a little overwhelmed and quickly winked at his two sons beside him. Who knew that the second son Su Qingshan looked at him for a long time and said,
"Dad, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Even Old Man Su looked over with concern.
…
"I'm fine..." Father Su opened his mouth, speechless.
Su Qinghe, who was standing by, understood what his father meant and said slowly, "Grandma, I'm hungry..."
Su Qingshan followed, "I'm hungry too." He was really hungry.
Su Qingshan had just smelled the aroma of meat from afar, and when he got closer, he realized it was actually his own home. He was so excited. Thinking of the spicy fried pork intestines that his fifth sister had made recently, and the pickled fish that was delivered yesterday, Su Qingshan couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Upon hearing this, Chen hurriedly said:
"It's almost done. Your fifth sister is making braised pork today. It will be ready soon."
Braised pork?!
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the three fathers and sons lit up, and they all looked towards the kitchen like wolves that had been hungry for a long time during the winter in the mountains.
Su Li happened to put the firewood in her hand into the stove and came out to greet her father and two brothers, and saw the three of them like this.
"Dad, second brother, third brother."
"Fifth sister."
Knowing that the three of them were tired after a long day and must be hungry after walking such a long way, Su Li said, "The braised pork will be ready soon."
Father Su smiled embarrassedly and said,
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry."
"Yes, Fifth Sister, take your time."
"We're not very hungry either."
Until the evening, at the dinner table,
The three of them looked at the large pot of red, translucent, and fragrant braised pork, and they all swallowed their saliva at the same time, their stomachs rumbling.
"Let's start eating." Old man Su spoke first.
The food is on the table and everyone is here, so we can start eating.
Knowing that Su's father and the others were coming back, Su Li specially cooked 2 kilograms of meat tonight, and put the remaining kilogram in the well to freeze. She would decide tomorrow whether to make dumplings or buns.
The dishes tonight are also very rich, including braised pork, loofah and eggs, tiger skin peppers, and cold cucumber salad, but the staple food is still the braised pork.
Father Su looked at the large pot of temptingly colored and fragrant braised pork in front of him by candlelight, his heart filled with unspeakable excitement. He had actually forgotten the year he had eaten braised pork. He seemed to remember that he had eaten it the year Goudan got married. It was so delicious that he still remembered it until now and often reminisced about it in his dreams.
But when the braised pork he had been longing for was placed in front of him, Father Su didn't know where to start.
However, he did not pick up his chopsticks. His sons Su Qingshan and Su Qinghe next to him were not polite. They picked up a piece with their chopsticks and stuffed it into their mouths. The braised pork covered with thick and red sauce was picked up tremblingly and went into the two men's big mouths.
"Eat..." Su Qingshan endured the heat and ate while praising the food.
This braised pork is so delicious! The moment you put it in your mouth, the rich aroma of meat explodes in your mouth, with a slight sweetness and a hint of wine. The salty and sweet taste is just right, a little more greasy and a little less sweet. The most important thing is that the skin is soft and sticky. Paired with a mouthful of white rice, it is so delicious that you feel like your soul is about to fly away.
Su Qingshan thought to himself that it was much more delicious than anything he had eaten before, although he couldn't remember when he had last eaten it.
Su Qinghe, who was standing next to him, was also completely amazed by the mouthful of braised pork. He couldn't even utter a word. For a moment, he felt that all the tiredness and pain of the past few days were soothed away by this mouthful of meat.
Not only them, but also Mrs. Wu and Old Man Su. They have bad teeth and cannot eat hard food, but this braised pork is no problem at all. Even the lean meat part of the braised pork is not dry at all.
"good."
“It’s delicious.”
For a moment, everyone in the Su family was so absorbed in eating that they almost forgot about everything else. The only sounds in the room were the sounds of eating and occasional exclamations of admiration.
Among them, Su Tao's mouth was full of oil. She even invented a new way to eat it. She took a bite of braised pork and a bite of refreshing loofah, and then took a big mouthful of fragrant rice with the braised pork soup.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, Su Li, who was standing next to her, also felt that the braised pork she made tonight was particularly successful. It melted in her mouth, was fatty but not greasy, and tasted much better than any she had made before.
"With Wu Ya's cooking skills, she can open a restaurant in the county." After finishing the meal, Su's father couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, the food cooked by Fifth Sister is really delicious."
“It’s really good.”
