Chapter 69: 68

Chapter 68 – Satisfaction (2)

Mrs. Zhou didn’t have a good reputation in the village, as she liked to gossip and cause discord between people. But these women also liked to listen to the rumors she said. So while on one side they despise Mrs. Zhou, but on the other hand, they always talk to her. 

She spat: “Pei, Pei, Pei! How old is my daughter?”

Aunt Wu laughed and said, “She’s fourteen, so she can talk about marriage already. I’m just afraid that charming young man will look down on your daughter!”

Mrs. Zhou said, “If he looked down on my daughter, do you think that he would like your family? In my opinion, let’s just stop arguing. Look around this neighborhood, only Jinniang is worthy of that charming young man!”

Su Jinniang blushed: “Aunt Zhou, please don’t make jokes on me. He is Daya’s husband. These words would not be good if it spreads out.”

Aunt Wu seized the chance to retort : “That’s right, you are thick-skinned and have no sense of shame. Don’t get Jinniang into trouble! Jinniang is planning to get married now! Isn’t that right, Jinniang?”

“.…..Hmm.” Su Jinniang responded vaguely.

At noon, the three little cuties ate another inedible meal made by Father Su. When they saw Su Xiaoxiao coming back, they threw themselves into her arms one by one. They were feeling so aggrieved that they didn’t want to let go of her. 

“Huh? Where’s yeye1?” she asked.

1Yeye (爷爷) : paternal grandfather, a honorific title for a man of the same generation and age as one’s grandfather. 

“Farming,” Dahu said. 

“Daddy, also farming.” Erhu added.

“En ah!” Xiaohu didn’t have anything to add.

Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou didn’t have lunch.

“Ergou, go to the kitchen and make a fire. I will go back to the room and change my clothes first.”

She was drenched in sweat.

“Okay!”

Su Ergou hurriedly went to the kitchen to make a fire.

Su Xiaoxiao opened her wardrobe and began to look for clothes. After looking around, she found that there were not many clothes to wear. They were either too plain or too flowery, or too tight. 

It was not easy for her to finally find the right size of clothes. Just as soon as she put it on, she bumped into Su Jinniang who was passing by in the doorway. 

She looked at Su Jinniang in astonishment, and Su Jinniang also happened to be looking at her too.

Su Xiaoxiao’s mind automatically flashes a sentence— ‘it’s not terrible to bump into someone who wears the same clothes, but it’s embarrassing to see them look better than you.’

Neither of them spoke.

Su Jinniang walked away indifferently.

Su Ergou grabbed a roasted sweet potato and came to the hall: “Jie, Mrs. Wu sent the roasted sweet potato over. Do you want to have a snack first?”

After he finished speaking, seeing Su Xiaoxiao looking at the doorway, he also took a look at it.

“Oh, it’s Su Jinniang.”

Su Xiaoxiao wondered, “How come I’m wearing the same clothes as her?” 

Su Ergou’s expression was inexpressible: “Jie, have you forgotten that your clothes are all made according to Su Jinniang?”

“Errr…… really?”

She didn’t inherit this kind of memory ah. 

Su Ergou groaned, “If Su Jinniang wears red, you also wear red. If Su Jinniang wears green, you also buy green. Even Su Jinniang’s walking posture, you wished you could secretly imitate it a hundred times!” 

Su Xiaoxiao supported her forehead with her hand: This was perfectly mimicking somebody but made a fool of oneself2 ah!

2To mimic somebody but make a fool of oneself : imitate indiscriminately, and the effect is extremely bad. 

It was no wonder Su Jinniang looked at her like that just now.

Su Ergou said weakly, “Jie, in the future, you should not learn from her again.” 

“I won’t do that again.” Su Xiaoxiao looked down at her clothes.

It’s just that she didn’t have any other clothes to wear. This one…… just wore it first for now. 

Su Xiaoxiao gnawed half a sweet potato and went to the kitchen to cook. 

She sliced ​​the sweet potatoes, put them in a salty batter with chopped scallions (green onions), and fried them in the oil pan until they became golden. The sweet taste of the sweet potatoes and the salty taste of the batter were perfectly blended together. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the aroma of scallions.

-Fried Sweet Potato 

There was a lot of batter, so she fried another plate of crispy meat.

 

-Crispy fried meat

The three little ones were guarding beside the stove. 

While Su Xiaoxiao was frying, they were eating, their little hands and mouths were so greasy and busy.

For these children, this was probably the most satisfying moment of the day.
