Chapter 46 Do you want your children to live like this with you for the rest of their lives?
Because Chen Mianmian came today, and Liu Ruolan wanted to thank her, she not only bought meat, but also bought fine flour to make soft big buns.
Su Buyan also exchanged a river fish from the villagers, and added some pickles made by Liu Ruolan, and fed Chen Mianmian so much that she couldn't even lift her head.
"Delicious, delicious. I haven't had such delicious food in a long time."
Since traveling through time, Chen Mianmian had been eating potatoes stewed with sauerkraut for the past few days. Later, when she had money, she bought some popular dishes from the town.
It had been a long time since she had eaten food with a touch of homely flavor.
"Hey kid, eat slowly. There's plenty in the pot. If you're not full, I'll make more for you later."
"No, this is already very good," Chen Mianmian quickly declined. "Thank you for the hospitality, Auntie."
Just looking at the way Liu Ruolan was dressed, she was afraid that if she had another meal, this aunt would have to sell blood.
"Mom, the meat is delicious."
Su Juexia was also happily eating with her bowl in hand. The little girl's red and swollen face was full of satisfaction. She hadn't eaten meat for several months.
Last time my brother came back with a piece of meat. My mother wanted to keep it to make dumplings, but it was snatched away by my aunt the next day.
Liu Ruolan looked at her daughter's thin body, self-blame flashed in her eyes again, and she picked up another bun for her daughter.
"Mom, you eat too!"
Su Juexia saw that there were still a few buns, and thought that Liu Ruolan seemed to have been drinking porridge and eating pickles from the beginning, so she let her eat too.
"Mom doesn't like to eat, as long as you eat well!"
Hearing this, Chen Mianmian frowned slightly. She didn't like this sentence. Her mother always said this when she was a child. When she grew up and asked her for money, she would bring it up and say it again.
That kind of self-sacrificing feeling always makes her feel guilty, which she will never be able to get rid of in her life.
She picked up a bun with clean chopsticks and put it into Liu Ruolan's bowl.
"I've never met anyone in this world who doesn't like meat buns. Auntie, raising a child isn't just about sacrificing yourself. You have to teach by example. You're always like this. Do you want Su Buyan and my younger sister to be like this for the rest of their lives?"
Chen Mianmian's words stunned Liu Ruolan. She had never thought about this problem. She only thought that if she gave in, she could get peace. In fact, it was nothing to suffer a little grievance.
Since she was a child, others have told her that a woman's life will be over if she endures it, and it will be the same no matter where she lives.
She was not favored in her parents' home, and it was still the same at her husband's home. She thought that this was how life was. Even if her son told her that she could change, she still couldn't change. Whenever someone had a conflict with her, she couldn't help but give in.
She didn't want to cause a conflict because of herself, as it would make her feel guilty.
But Chen Mianmian's words today left Liu Ruolan stunned. She certainly didn't want her son and daughter to suffer the same way as she had for the rest of her life.
Especially when he saw Juexia's patched clothes and his son not having even a casual uniform except for his military uniform, he felt even more guilty.
Chen Mianmian looked at Liu Ruolan who seemed to be thinking, and she didn't say anything else. Women in the old era had a deep-rooted habit of accepting everything, and it was not easy to make changes immediately.
Let's take it slow.
Chen Mianmian ate five buns before reluctantly putting down her chopsticks. This was the limit of her stomach, not her mouth. She had to say that Su Buyan’s mother was a great cook, and even the pickles had a unique flavor.
If I could eat it every day, it would actually be pretty good.
The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests. There was only a little soup and fish bones left, which Su Buyan ate in his own bowl.
Well, not wasting food is a good habit, so I give you one point.
"I'm going to raise a lot of animals in the future, so the food might run out quickly!"
Chen Mianmian suddenly spoke to test the waters. In the past, the project team would pay for it, but now she had to spend her own money to buy food. Although she had gold bars and more than 3,000 yuan, she still wanted to see Su Buyan's attitude.
"My allowance is all mine, you can use it however you want. I can also go to the cafeteria and ask if there are any leftovers, so I can take them back."
Su Buyan still had food in his mouth, so he quickly swallowed it and promised without thinking that this was all a test from Chen Mianmian and he couldn't let her down.
"That's so embarrassing! You're the famous Captain Su. If you ask for leftovers, you'll be laughed at, right?"
Chen Mianmian curled her lips and looked at him, her bright eyes full of teasing.
"I live my own life. No matter how others laugh at me, there are many canteens in the military area. I can ask at all of them."
Su Buyan’s words made Chen Mianmian quite satisfied. His attitude was sincere enough, so he got a point.
Seeing that Su Buyan had finished his meal, Chen Mianmian asked to leave. She still had to ask about Fang Youwei's matter in the afternoon and make fun of Xue Yongsheng by the way. She was very busy.
"I send you!"
Just when Chen Mianmian wanted Su Juexia to help lead the way, Su Buyan stood up and walked towards the door. She said goodbye to Su Juexia, who was reluctant to leave her, and also said goodbye to Liu Ruolan before leaving.
After the two left, Su Juexia asked Liu Ruolan in a low voice why her sister asked her brother those questions.
Liu Ruolan did not give a direct answer, but just asked Su Juexia if he liked Chen Mianmian.
"I like it. My sister is awesome. Following her, I can eat and have enough food. And I won't be bullied."
When Su Juexia mentioned Chen Mianmian, her eyes lit up, and it was obvious that she really liked her.
Liu Ruolan thought about what her son had told her about Chen Mianmian's situation when they were buying groceries.
The child was also bullied since childhood, but she knew how to fight back. Not only did she break off the engagement in a dignified manner, she also sent all those who had hurt her to the public security bureau.
Su Buyan also specifically told Liu Ruolan about the parade scene. She thought that if members of the Su family were paraded and beaten like that, she would probably laugh for three days and three nights.
"Can women really earn their livings?"
Liu Ruolan thought of Chen Mianmian's neat and aggressive methods, as well as her confident and generous demeanor, as if she was not afraid of anything, and felt envious.
She turned her head to look at Su Juexia. She was wronged in the Su family and her daughter had been bullied since she was a child. The good girl had become inferior and stuttered.
Most of her life has passed, and if possible, she doesn't want her daughter to end up like her.
Thinking of this, a rare flash of determination appeared in Liu Ruolan's eyes.
"You like Comrade Xiao Chen. I'll make some food for you later and you can bring it to him."
"good!!"
Su Juexia went to clean up the dishes with a smile. Liu Ruolan stared at the direction the two people left in a daze, hoping that the girl would not despise her for being useless and affecting her son's marriage.
She could see that her son was in love with Comrade Xiao Chen. Whenever he mentioned that girl, his eyes lit up, a liveliness she had never seen before.
If I can really marry her in the future, I will definitely treat this child as my own daughter and will never let her experience the pain of being tortured by her in-laws.
Of course, Chen Mianmian is not the type to be bullied.
Liu Ruolan sighed and prayed in her heart that Su Buyan's love life would be smooth. Chen Mianmian had been sent to the guesthouse, followed by a bunch of dogs.
They were all the ones who helped just now, and she promised to give them delicious food, so she did.
There were not many canned meats left, so Chen Mianmian wanted to buy some steamed buns or something. Su Buyan asked her to wait for a while and then left in a hurry.
