Chapter 65 - 65 Digging for Wild Vegetables
65 Digging for Wild Vegetables
Before Su Xuewen passed away, he called the original character to his side and reminded her repeatedly with tears in his eyes. He told her to live well with the male lead and warned her that if she didn’t go overboard, the male lead would take care of her and her younger sisters for the rest of her life. Even if she didn’t want to have a live-in husband, she had to try her best to let it go for the sake of her sisters.
Unfortunately, the original character didn’t do it either.
She had failed to follow Su Xuewen’s advice before he died and the detailed plan for his daughters.
Su Wen took out another five yuan from her pocket. “Take this money. Give the fourth and fifth sisters one yuan each and let them buy things at school. Don’t save the money that you need to spend. For the other three yuan, you can buy some cloth and make some clothes. Su Qing and his little sister didn’t even have a piece of clothing without patches. Buy the cloth and let Su Qing make it. It can also train her skills.”
Su Wen told Su Xiu what to do with the money.
Su Xiu clutched the money in her hand, feeling touched.
“Go to school! I’ll go home first. Return after you’re done. We’ll go separately,” The cake had been sold out, and it would be too much of a hassle for them to go together.
“By the way, take these leather. Don’t come back too early. After you’re done, buy some canned food, meat, pig bones, and wheat milk essence.” Su Wen was afraid the money wasn’t enough, so she took another five yuan and gave it to Su Xiu.
She had always been willing to spend money. She had initially planned to let Su Xiu send some wheat milk essence to the school for her fourth and fifth sisters. However, on second thought, she gave up. She remembered from the books that her fourth and fifth sisters had a hard time in school.
Although their grades had always been tied for first place in the school, they could only eat pickled vegetables and steamed buns for every meal. They were malnourished, their clothes were old and torn, and they only knew how to study hard. They didn’t have many friends in school.
Under such circumstances, it was normal for them to be looked down upon. They might be in trouble if the two of them suddenly had wheat milk essence that ordinary families couldn’t afford.
Su Wen was still worried, so she asked Su Xiu to give the money to the two of them. When she gave the cake, she had to give it to them before everyone.
This was to prevent people who didn’t know the situation from gossiping behind his back after she secretly gave it to them.
Su Xiu didn’t understand why at first. Shouldn’t one hide one’s money and spend it slowly? When she heard Su Wen’s explanation, she was so shocked that she was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to react, and then she looked at Su Wen with even more admiration.
No matter how thick-skinned Su Wen was, she would feel guilty.
Sigh! Her little sister idolized her too much.
“Alright, go and buy the things! I’ll buy something to eat in town if I can’t make it for lunch. I’ll go back first.” Su Wen’s arrangement was to train Su Xiu’s ability to deal with things and go back and deal with Chen Guihua.
Chen Guihua had followed her in the morning. She did not believe that Chen Guihua would not say anything and do nothing.
After parting with Su Xiu, Su Wen carried an empty basket and returned. On the way, she saw green vegetables and dug out a basket.
The wild vegetable was blanched in boiling water and mixed with her secret seasoning. It was the most refreshing and flavorful. It was used to make dumplings. When eggs, spring onions, oil, and salt were added, the unique fragrance of the vegetable would be stimulated. It was so delicious that it made them drool.
Su Wen’s favorite activity when she was young was following her grandmother to the fields to dig up wild vegetables. After entering university and going to the big city, she never ate these again.
The planted vegetables always lacked fragrance.
…
It was almost time for dinner, but the number of people gathered in front of Su Wen’s house did not decrease. Instead, it increased. Some people were hungry and wanted to watch, so they went home with their rice bowls and ran over to eat while waiting.
