Chapter 55 Sweet Potato Porridge and Steamed Bun

Sisters Su Manxiu and Su Manxiang are only one year apart.

In the early years, Grandma Su became pregnant soon after giving birth to Su Manxiu. Moreover, she was not pregnant and had too much time to take care of herself, so she neglected her eldest daughter.

Later, after giving birth to Su Manxiang, Su Manxiang was born weak, like a cat.

The family members took more care of the youngest sister, and managed to raise this girl who could die at any time until she was three years old.

Su Manxiang's body gradually became healthier, but she had adapted to treating her sister as a little maid and commanding her at will, while Su Manxiu was also used to being the older sister and should take care of her younger sister.

Over time, the two sisters Su Manxiu and Su Manxiang grew into two extremes.

Su Manxiang felt that she was number one in the world and was very confident, even to the point of being arrogant. She always felt that everyone in the world should give way to her.

If there are mistakes, they are everyone else's.

Su Manxiu is just the opposite, she has low self-esteem.

Since she was a child, she felt that she was not as good as Su Manxiang, and even when she grew up, she could not change her mind.

As she grew older, Su Manxiang kept telling her that just because she wasn't good enough, her parents liked her more.

In fact, Su Manxiu is not bad at all compared to Su Manxiang. She has been the leader in the family since she was a child. She can do needlework, kitchen, and field work, and she does it extremely well.

On the other hand, Su Manxiang is actually very incompetent. When it comes to needlework, she can throw away her needlework. When she makes a meal, it doesn’t taste good. Not to mention the work in the fields. She is simply a typical example of lazy people.

.

In terms of looks, both sisters are beauties, but Su Man's delicate and subtle beauty makes people feel very comfortable after long-term contact with them.

Su Manxiang's beauty is even more publicized. When you first meet her, you will feel bright and beautiful, but after a long time, you will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Later, when the two sisters reached the age of marriage, Grandpa Su and Grandma Su thought of compensating their eldest daughter and finding her an honest and responsible family.

But somehow Su Manxiang met an employee of the town's supply and marketing cooperative and got married at the age of eighteen.

Two more years later, scholar Su Man finally married to Wangjiahe Village ten miles away under the control of his parents, now called Wangjiahe Brigade.

At first, I saw that Wang Jiefang, that is, Wang Gouzi in Wang Xianghua's mouth, was a good young man, with a very honest appearance and an honest man.

Who would have known that Lao Wang's family is just donkey dung eggs that look good on the surface, but are really not good at heart.

It’s okay for Wang Jiefang to be lazy and lazy, and his mother is a very difficult old lady.

There is no one among the four daughters-in-law in the family who has not been teased by her.

Especially Su Manxiu, who has no children, is a serious thorn in her side.

It can be said that Su Manxiu is the existence at the bottom of the Lao Wang family's food chain.

Liang Xiu knew these things, and so did the rest of the family.

But Su Manxiu's character has been decided, and there's nothing they can do about it.

"Children who cry are fed by milk. That's true." Liang Xiu sarcastically said.

Seeing Liang Xiu not moving and still stuck in the main room, Su Manxiang lowered her face.

"Why, I can't control you anymore? Third sister-in-law, aren't you afraid of others poking your spine?"

Su Manxiang was confident, but she just felt that if Liang Xiu wanted to lose face, she could only suppress her inner dissatisfaction.

"What you're saying is, I'm your slave, right? If I don't serve you, others will poke me in the back. Do you really think you're proud of me when you draw eyebrows on your butt?"

After Liang Xiu's daughter was pushed into the river by Kang Meihua, Liang Xiu treated Su Manxiang like an enemy. How could she let Su Manxiang show off her power in front of her?

"I am a guest, do you still have any rules?"

"Rules, it's ridiculous. You, Su Manxiang, have rules? Do you have rules for a married girl to go to her parents' house to show off her power? And you bring a man with you?"

Su Manxiang saw that her man looked bad, so she rushed over and planned to slap Liang Xiu.

"Su Manxiang, if you plan to cause trouble, don't blame me for tearing you apart!" Liang Xiu grabbed Su Manxiang's arm and squeezed her until it hurt.

Su Manxiang couldn't help the pain, and she grinned and groaned.

"Mom, Dad, are you just watching my third sister-in-law bully me like this?" Su Manxiang asked her parents for help.

"You asked for it. If you want to show off, go to your own home." Grandpa Su is not Grandma Su, so Su Manxiang is not happy to hear what she says.

"Dad, I am your daughter!"

Su Manxiang didn't expect that her father could say such a thing.

"Shut up!" Kang Rende glared at Su Manxiang fiercely, and then said to Grandpa Su: "Dad, your daughter can't speak, don't argue with her."

Grandpa Su doesn't like this son-in-law. After so many years, he has clearly seen that he is a selfish person to his core.

Grandpa Su said nothing.

Seeing this situation, Grandma Su said, "My third daughter-in-law, go to the kitchen and cook them a bowl of sweet potato porridge. You are a guest. If you don't give me a meal, you will be laughed at."

Liang Xiu was very dissatisfied. How could such a person be given food to eat? He was so beautiful to them.

But when her mother-in-law spoke, she could only listen, so she turned around and walked out slowly.

Su Manxiang was dissatisfied when she heard that she was not given egg soup, but thinking about the white bread and the smell of pork, she didn't care.

Sweet potato porridge is not delicious, but white bread is delicious. I won’t drink porridge then, just eat steamed buns.

She looked at the buns in Su Xiaotian's hand. How could this damn girl still hold the buns in her arms? Didn't she know that these buns would fall into her mouth sooner or later?

"Third daughter-in-law, take these buns down and save them for our children to eat at night, so that they don't get hurt by irrelevant people." Grandpa Su saw Su Manxiang's eyes and felt unhappy, so he said.

He really has no expectations for this little daughter.

Grandma Su did not raise any objection to Grandpa Su's arrangement, and she obviously agreed.

But everyone in the Kang family looked bad.

Although Kang Rende didn't say it explicitly, he also wanted to eat white bread, and the smell of the buns had deeply attracted him.

Although the skin of this bun is a little yellow, it is definitely made of more white flour than corn flour.

You should eat this kind of buns with your belly open.

But he was reluctant to feed these muddy legs to him. He was the son-in-law of the old Su family, so he was the most distinguished guest!

He glanced at Su Manxiang, who understood and immediately started making trouble.

"Dad, Mom, my sister always ate white bread when she came here, but when she got here she turned into sweet potato porridge? I don't obey, I don't obey!"

Su Xiaotian suspected that Su Manxiang would sit on the ground and roll around like a child in the next second.

I just don’t know if such an action by a nearly thirty-year-old woman would blind people’s eyes.

Grandpa Su glanced at the coquettish little girl, and the old man said: "When will you return the food you borrowed from us, I will ask your mother to make white bread for you, pure white flour."

Hearing Grandpa Su's special words for "white face", Su Xiaotian couldn't help but smile, her smile was very sweet.

Su Manxiu, on the other hand, heard clearly even though he didn't raise his head.

She felt uneasy. She only took a bite of the steamed bun and held it in her hand, neither eating nor eating it.

Liang Xiu felt elated. She took the plate with steamed buns from Su Xiaotian's hand, saw Su Manxiu with quails on the side, and gently tugged on it.

"Sister, let's go to the kitchen to talk and make sweet potato porridge for my little sister! I haven't seen you for some time, so I just wanted to talk to you."

Liang Xiu's words "sweet potato porridge" were particularly refreshing, and her conversation with Su Manxiu was particularly intimate. At first glance, there was a difference between intimacy and distance.

Liang Xiu pulled Su Manxiu away, who was stunned.

When the two of them went out, Su Manxiang's eyes were almost killing people. When did she become so worthless in her parents' family?

When did this start?

It seems to have started since last time when that bitch Su Xiaotian was pushed into the river by Meihua.

You are so petty. Isn’t that dead girl living a good life? Why do both of them hold a grudge against me?

"Grandma, I want to eat steamed buns, and I don't want sweet potato porridge!" Kang Xiaobao became reluctant when he saw the white bread flying away from him.

He has been pampered since he was a child, and when the family has good things, they always stick to him. Seeing that he cannot have such a thing, it is absolutely not possible for him!

"Your father is a cadre of the supply and marketing cooperative, what do you want? Go back to your house to eat!" Su Xiaotian's soft and waxy voice said loudly: "My buns are mine, they belong to my brothers!"

Humph, it has nothing to do with you siblings!

Su Xiaotian didn't even forget to smile proudly at Kang Meihua.

Doesn't Kang Meihua mind that she, Su Xiaotian, is the most favored in the old Su family? Then let her see what it means to be favored!

Kang Meihua understood this look, and her facial features were almost distorted.

What's the point of being proud of a bitch with slimy legs? She's from the town!

Isn't it just a steamed bun? What can I do if I don't eat it? It's not like she hasn't eaten it before.

"What do you mean by buns with cornmeal in them? All I eat in town are big meat buns with white flour. That's what they call delicious. You've never seen one, right? You're a country bumpkin!"

When Kang Meihua said this, she didn't consider the consequences at all, she just acted quickly.

Su Xiaotian was still smiling: "You eat your meat buns, and we eat my vegetable buns ourselves!"

"If you don't want to eat, you won't eat. In the future, even poor people will not want to eat my food!"

Grandpa Su's face changed instantly, and Grandma Su's complexion also darkened.

"It turns out that in your hearts, I am just a country bumpkin and a poor man. In this case, you should go back and don't eat the sweet potato porridge, so as not to dirty your noble mouths!" Grandpa Su felt more sorry for Su Manxiang than his heartbroken.

.

The child's words are definitely not what he came up with. To a large extent, it is the elders who say it every day that makes the child have this understanding.

When the five members of the Kang family left Old Su's house, everyone had dark faces.

For the first time, when they arrived at Lao Su's house, they were not served with delicious food and drinks, but came with empty stomachs and went back with empty stomachs.

Along the way, Su Manxiang didn't get a good look from her husband, so she complained even more to her parents for not giving her a good look.

Why don't they think about themselves? She is a country girl who married into a town. If her mother's family doesn't subsidize her, how can others think highly of her?

She hasn't taken home food recently, and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Kang, also talks to her in a strange way, and her husband doesn't even have a nice word to say to her. She originally thought that this time the whole family is here, so why should her parents give it to her?

She showed some respect.

But, what do her parents mean?

Su Manxiu, on the other hand, didn't understand what happened until Su Manxiang left.

In the past, everyone in the family would give my little sister whatever she wanted. Why did this suddenly change?

She didn’t bring anything with her, but her parents and sisters-in-law gave her noodles with meat sauce and eggs, and meat buns.

"Sister, your parents actually love you too." Liang Xiu said, comforting her.

She could somewhat understand what the eldest sister was thinking. She had been ignored by her family for so long that even she couldn't believe that she was loved by someone.

Su Manxiu looked into the distance in confusion, is it true?

Her parents also loved her? But since she was a child, why didn't she notice?

"Big sister, little sister, she has gone too far. Don't have any other ideas." Qi Liangying walked up to Su Manxiu with a pair of shoes and said, "You and the second sister-in-law have similar feet. These are the shoes that the second sister-in-law just made.

Try to see if you can wear it!"

Su Manxiu waved her hands quickly: "Second sister-in-law, I can't have it, I have..."

She said this without any confidence.

Where does she have anything? She has nothing in Lao Wang's house.

"Just accept it and see what your shoes have become!"

If it really existed, could I wear such shoes to visit relatives?

"Second sister-in-law, please give me a pair of worn-out shoes. If I wear such good shoes, they won't be mine anymore." Su Manxiu lowered her eyes and said.

Qi Liangying sighed inwardly, and finally gave Su Manxiu a pair of worn-out shoes to put on.

Although this pair of shoes is about to be torn, it is only the outermost layer of fabric that is about to be torn and can still be repaired. Unlike Su Manxiu's pair, even if it is repaired, you don't know how to start.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family was reunited, and the food in Lao Su's family was very good.

One is because of the festival, and the other is because Su Manxiu lives in her parents' house for the first time since she got married.

Grandma Su wanted to make up for her eldest daughter, and she just wanted to give her daughter all the good things at home, so much so that she even forgot about Su Manxiang who left angrily.

Su Manxiu shed tears as she looked at a table of delicious food.

How long has it been since she had such a meal?

In Lao Wang's house, if there was anything left, she would eat some. If there was nothing left, she basically had nothing to eat. Sometimes she would be so hungry that she would dig wild vegetables in the ground to eat, without even having time to wash the soil.

Su Xiaotian paid special attention to Su Manxiu's expression. When she saw Su Manxiu crying, she stretched out her short arms and hugged Su Manxiu.

"Auntie, from now on, we will all be able to eat delicious food, which is even more delicious than what is on the table!"

When Su Manxiu heard what her little niece said, she hugged Su Xiaotian to hide her tears.

"Auntie believes it. Auntie believes there will be such a day."

When he looked up again, there were no tears in Su Manxiu's eyes.

"Dad, Mom, there are so many good things, leave them for the kids to eat!"

It's both meat and eggs, so it's a waste of money.

Grandpa Su said: "Hurry up and eat. We don't need your food at home. There is no need to save it for the kids. They have their own."

Su Manxiu saw that her brothers and sisters-in-law were eating naturally, and finally believed that her mother's family's life was better and there was really no need to save this meal.

Could it be that the previous legend is true and that the family has gotten better with the help of senior officials?

After dinner, the moon is already hanging brightly in the sky, and the silver moonlight shines on every place in the world, peaceful and peaceful!

"It's a pity that we can't worship the Moon God!" Grandma Su said regretfully while sitting in the yard, looking at the moon.

"Dad, Mom. I'm going to deliver something over there." Su Laosan walked out carrying a basket and said.

Su Shouwen had already delivered Li Zhuzi's portion in the afternoon. It was not possible to deliver it to the bullpen in broad daylight, so he had to wait quietly at night.

Moreover, the amount given to the bullpen was much more than the amount given to Li Zhuzhu, which was not good for people to see.

"Go, be careful!" Grandpa Su warned.

Although Su Manxiu didn't know where the third brother was talking about, she was not a talkative person, so she didn't ask.

"Xiu, life at home is getting better now. If you don't eat well, come back and Mom will make something good for you." Grandma Su said while pricking the millet bottom with an awl.

If this daughter could come here every now and then, she wouldn't be skinny and skinny.

"Mom, how come things are getting better at home all of a sudden?" Su Manxiu was very curious about this.

She had been feeling uneasy, fearing that when she came today, her parents would bring out all the good stuff in the house to greet her, which would make her hungry later.

But her parents had repeatedly promised that life at home was going well, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Your father saved a man in his early years. That man is now a high-ranking official and has provided a lot of subsidies to our family. We are all hard-working people and have enough to eat." Grandma Su said with a smile as she collected the shoe soles.

: "When you go back tomorrow, bring some food with you. Don't wrong yourself at Lao Wang's house."

Su Manxiu stopped arranging the rags in her hands and shook her head firmly.

If you bring food back, can it get into her mouth? No!

The mother-in-law would unceremoniously take away all the food. Even if there was a little left for her, Wang Jiefang would give it to that shameless little widow!

Why should she use her natal family's things to support unrelated people?

Wang Xianghua was seriously putting the rags together. She thought it was because Su Manxiu was embarrassed, so she advised: "Sister, please bring something back, maybe..."

Maybe Lao Wang's family could treat her better for the sake of food.

Unexpectedly, Su Manxiu interrupted her directly: "Sister-in-law, our food is not for animals to eat!"

Su Manxiu's attitude was decisive.

The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the yard looked a little surprised. Su Manxiu had never been like this before.

It's okay, if she can change her personality in the future, she will suffer less disadvantages in Lao Wang's family.

"Then you go back later tomorrow, wait until you have lunch." Wang Xianghua said immediately: "If you can't eat it if you take it with you, then eat it until it's in your stomach and then go back."

Several people burst into laughter.

While he was talking happily here, he heard someone banging on the door.

There was a loud knock on the door.

"Who is this? What's important?" Grandma Su said strangely: "Xiaowu, go open the door and see what's going on!"

Su Wurang ran over and pulled down the door bolt.

The moment he pulled the door latch, the door was pushed open with great force!
