Chapter 2 Can't Run Slowly
Chapter 2 Pay it back slowly, you can’t run away
Li Zhaodi was moved and moved, but when she returned to her room, she became frightened.
She wiped away her tears and held Su Jinxiu's hand.
"Your father is gone, and your two younger brothers are still young.
There isn't even a man to support the family, so I can't offend your second aunt.
I will kneel down and apologize to her..."
Su Jinxiu grabbed Li Zhaodi who was about to go out and asked her to sit down and rest.
Add a handful of cornmeal, heat it up and simmer the cornmeal paste.
"Don't be afraid, I won't let you starve."
Li Zhaodi was stunned as she looked at Su Jinxiu busy in the smoke.
After Jinxiu recovered from her injury, she seemed like a different person.
After the paste was boiled, Su Jinxiu divided it into four bowls and took the opportunity to squeeze a drop of Lingquan water down.
In my current physical condition, I only have one drop per day.
Seeing that Li Zhaodi was still dazed, Su Jinxiu helped her sit down at the broken table.
Li Zhaodi came to her senses and quickly called the two younger ones.
"Shang Wen, Shang Wu, it's time to eat."
After a while, Su Shangwu led Su Shangwen into the house with a stick.
Without looking at Su Jinxiu at the table, she pulled Su Shangwen to sit down.
This was the first time Su Jinxiu met Su Shangwen, and the two brothers looked exactly the same.
Su Shangwen has white spots, Su Shangwu has black spots.
The two are eight years old this year and are as thin as five or six-year-old children.
Su Shangwen wore a cloth over his eyes, saying that his eyes were injured and he couldn't see.
Su Jinxiu scooped out a little bit of the dry paste in the bowl.
Su Shangwu grabbed the bowl warily and stared at Su Jinxiu.
"Don't try to cause trouble, or I'll beat you to death."
Li Zhaodi hit Su Shangwu on the head with her chopsticks.
"Why are you talking to your sister? Your sister feels sorry for you."
Su Shangwu touched his head aggrievedly and sat next to Su Shangwen.
"She killed dad, who told her to pretend to be kind?"
Su Shangwen fumbled and poured half of the paste in the bowl to Li Zhaodi.
"Mom, I've been lying around all day and I'm not hungry. Please eat more."
Su Shangwu also followed suit and poured the paste to Li Zhaodi.
Li Zhaodi naturally refused to take it and gave it back.
It's also strange, I usually feel like I'm not full.
After eating today, my whole body feels warm and full of energy.
After dinner, Li Zhaodi refused to let Su Jinxiu clear the dishes and drove her out to play.
Su Jinxiu didn't say much, turned around and walked out the door.
A little tail followed her furtively.
All the way to the river, she heard a few faint calls of wild ducks in the reeds.
What others hear is: "Quack, quack, quack."
In her ears: "There are fish and shrimps."
Su Jinxiu curled her lips. It turned out that she could really understand animals.
The reed marshes are huge and there are many deep undercurrents and pits.
Even if they knew there were wild ducks inside, the villagers wouldn't bother trespassing.
Su Jinxiu can understand the wild duck and is not afraid at all.
Roll up your sleeves, roll up your trouser legs, and touch the prodigal son.
Following the calls of wild ducks, we quickly found a fish nest.
She twisted reeds into a rope and strung the fish in the fish nest together.
After a quick glance, there were more than a dozen of them, but she didn't want any that were too small.
Coming out of the reed swamp, she waved to Su Shangwu on the shore.
"Come, help."
Su Shangwu looked at the string of fish and then at Su Jinxiu, dumbfounded.
He followed here and found Su Jinxiu getting into the prodigal house.
It was getting dark and no one came out yet.
Just as he was wondering whether to call for help, he saw Su Jinxiu coming out carrying a bunch of fish.
This is the first time in my life that I have seen so many fish.
Su Shangwu seemed frightened and obediently stepped forward to help.
The two carried more than a dozen big fish back home, and Su Jinxiu put the fish into the water tank.
When Li Zhaodi heard the noise and looked at the fish in the tank, she was so frightened that she almost lost her balance.
"Jinxiu, where did you come from these fish?
Our family can't afford even a single copper penny.
If you want to eat fish, my mother will catch it for you from now on.
Mom, can you please return these fishes?"
Su Jinxiu wiped the sweat from her head, picked a mandarin fish with few spines, and neatly disembowelled it.
"I caught him in a prodigal. If you don't believe me, ask Shang Wu."
Li Zhaodi glanced at Su Shangwu, who nodded in a complicated manner.
"Um."
Why has Su Jinxiu become a little different?
While talking, Su Jinxiu put the fish in the pot.
Brown both sides and add cold water.
After boiling, the soup turned milky white.
Paste the live cornmeal into a circle of pancakes along the edge of the pot.
Cover the pot and add a handful of firewood.
Su Jinxiu wiped her hands and called to Li Zhaodi and Su Shangwu.
"What are you doing standing around? Get ready to eat."
The stomach that has never been full is awakened by the fragrance, and there is no need to find fault.
Su Shangwu swallowed his saliva and quickly led Su Shangwen to sit down.
Su Afang was wandering outside with a bowl of steamed egg custard.
"Shangwen, Shangwu, what do you have for dinner at home?
Second aunt made steamed egg custard? It’s so fragrant, you can’t eat it, why don’t you come and smell it?”
Before Su Shangwu could say anything, Su Jinxiu opened the lid of the pot.
The golden corn tortillas are soaked in the milky white fish soup, which is delicious and fragrant.
"Hmph, what are you so proud of?
My family eats fish, which is delicious."
Su Shangwu entered the house with fish soup, and Su Jinxiu followed closely and closed the door.
Su Afang stood there, smelling the alluring fragrance, and instantly felt that the egg custard in her hand no longer smelled good.
Damn it, Dafang is as poor as a ghost. Where did he get the money to buy the fish? Did he use her silver earrings in exchange for it?
In the room, Su Jinxiu handed the fish belly to Li Zhaodi and Su Shangwen.
Li Zhaodi wanted to take it back, but Su Jinxiu glanced at it.
"There is still something in the tank, so there is no shortage of food during this period.
You are too thin, please take some supplements."
Li Zhaodi's eyes turned red and she sighed several times.
The fish soup is incredibly fresh, with few thorns and tender meat.
At the end of the meal, Su Shangwu wiped the bottom of the pot clean with pancakes.
Rubbing her belly with satisfaction, it would be great if Su Jinxiu could always be like this.
"I'll go to the city tomorrow and sell the remaining fish."
Hearing Su Jinxiu's words, the smile on Li Zhaodi's face froze.
The fire in Su Shangwu's eyes extinguished, and Su Shangwen, who had been silent until now, snorted softly.
"I thought you could pretend for a long time and reveal your fox tail so quickly?"
Su Jinxiu sighed, knowing that explanations were useless.
She could only slowly pay back the evil she had done.
————————
The next day, before dawn, Su Jinxiu went out carrying the live fish in the tank.
There are a lot of things missing at home, so I need to exchange some money to buy them back.
Carrying the live fish, I walked on the mountain road for an hour, and at the foot of the mountain I caught an ox cart going to the city.
Su Jinxiu gave a fish as fare, and the old man driving the car was about to leave.
She stopped and raised her chin behind her head.
"You don't want to get in the car, do you want to walk?"
Su Shangwu emerged from behind the bushes in despair, and walked over with his head lowered.
"I don't want to follow you, I'm afraid you'll steal things from home and run away again."
Su Jinxiu didn't expose him and patted the place beside her with a smile.
"Let's go, sister will take you to eat something delicious."
"Hmph, who admitted that you are my sister?"
Su Shangwu jumped into the car and didn't bother to look at Su Jinxiu.
If he wasn't afraid that Su Jinxiu would run away, he wouldn't have followed her.
