Chapter 8: The Third Sister, Mother

The coarse porcelain sea bowl with steaming bean soup and rice was placed in front of Su Yan, and Su Miao smiled warmly:

"Taste it!"

The temperature in the evening of early summer is still a little cool, and the air in the town near the river is also very humid, and the children who have just lost their father and suddenly face the chaotic family atmosphere and the dark road ahead have already shivered with cold hearts because of anxiety and fear, and the mellow taste has penetrated into the nose, calming the apprehension, dispelling the cold, and making Su Yan, who is hungry, can't help but swallow his saliva.

The aroma of the soup and rice is clear, hot, and delicious, tempting the index finger to move, in Su Miao's smiling eyes, he shyly picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, it was obviously a clear soup, and the entrance turned out to be thick and mellow as if it could melt the taste of the fresh flavor. The grains of rice are smooth and glutinous, and the mellow soup has not broken at all, but the taste is excellent. The peas are soft and smooth, the green onions are crispy and fragrant, there is rice in the soup, there is soup in the rice, mellow and fragrant, and it melts in the mouth. A mouthful of soup and rice went down to the stomach, as if a line was boiling a straight way in the body, and the warm feeling spread out in the shrinking stomach, as if soothing the heart that had been restless, Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but bend her beautiful eyebrows, with a hint of intoxication, smiled at her, and praised crisply:

"Delicious!"

Su Miao looked at his unfeigned praise, smiled, this smile was so warm that Su Yan suddenly remembered the sun in early spring, it was bright and bright, and it could bring a lot of warmth to people in the spring cold, he was stunned, he had the impression that the second sister rarely smiled, and was always locked in the room alone and ignored others, and now suddenly saw such a smile, Su Yan was stunned and suddenly felt that the second sister was very good-looking, and the man with such a good-looking second sister ran away with the monster-like second aunt, thinking of this, his good-looking little face showed a little hesitation.

"What's wrong?" Su Miao asked suspiciously.

"Second sister, don't be sad, you can ignore Zhou Cheng who is blind!" He said indignantly with his head down.

Su Miao didn't expect him to say this suddenly, he laughed out loud, and was about to speak, when the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open, and the girl dressed in short brown walked in expressionlessly, Su Yan immediately smiled:

"Is the third sister eating, the second sister made soup and rice, it's delicious!"

Su Chan didn't answer, a pair of big eyes swept over the soup and rice, and then looked at Su Miao indifferently.

Su Miao smiled, Su Chan is a silent and sensitive child, but the biggest problem is not the sensitivity of her character, Su Chan and Su Miao are twins, although the appearance is completely different, but the twins are connected, since Su Miao "landed" to the Su family, Su Chan's attitude towards her is very indifferent, of course, Su Chan's attitude towards the previous Su Miao is not much better, obviously they are twins but they rarely interact like strangers.

Unlike Su Miao, who inherited her father's appearance, the fraternal twin Su Chan's appearance inherited her mother's appearance, although she has her father's genetic remedy, she is the most ordinary-looking one among the children of the Su family, with a long face, freckles on her cheeks, a little collapsed nose, and slightly thin lips, but she has a pair of thick eyebrows and big eyes and a slender height similar to Su Miao. Contrary to Su Yan's femininity, Su Chan doesn't like women's things, and when she was a child, she learned boxing and kicking from the chef of Pinxian Building, and practiced a heroic spirit, which made her look heroic and sassy.

After the age of ten, she stopped wearing skirts, and wore short brown clothes every day.

"Chan'er is eating, the second sister will give you a bowl." Su Miao said with a smile, standing up to serve the meal.

"You never call me 'Chan'er.'" Su Chan's voice is also a neutral voice that is indisputable, low and slightly cool.

"We're not children anymore, you never call me 'second sister' but I can't learn from you anymore, you don't like to hear me call you 'Chan'er', so I call you 'San'er'?" Little San'er'? Su Miao asked with a smile.

Su Chan glanced at her, walked to the corner, picked up a pair of rusty scissors and turned to leave, Su Yan hurriedly asked:

"Third sister, don't you eat?"

Su Chan didn't answer, and went out, Su Yan was used to her cold character, and said to Su Miao while eating soup and rice:

"The third sister has been going out every day since she came to Changle Town, and I don't know where she has gone."

Su Miao didn't answer, thought for a moment, and said:

"There is still rice in the pot, go back and tell your third sister that if she is hungry, she will eat it hot."

Su Yan responded.

Dead.

Mrs. Su and Hu were still angry, they were all nested in the room, Su Chan came back in the evening and wanted to cook some porridge for herself, but was told by Su Yan that there was rice in the pot, and when she came to the small kitchen, she saw half a pot of bean soup and rice, she was stunned, and silently scooped a bowl and put it on the unextinguished stove to heat it. Squatting on the ground with a bowl in both hands and taking a bite, her eyes flashed slightly, it was unexpectedly delicious and warm, she took a big bite and ate half a bowl of rice, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and could see the twinkling stars in the night sky through the dilapidated roof, and a narrow and thin little face was overcast.

A person stepped in, saw her cat squatting "ahhh

"You damn girl, what are you doing here without saying a word!"

Su Chan didn't answer, and ate by herself.

Hu Shi ignored her, walked to the stove, and saw the clear and fragrant soup and rice in the uncovered rice pot, and was stunned:

"Who did this?"

"Su Miao." Su Chan was silent for a moment and replied.

Hu Shi was stunned for a long time, and sneered:

"If there are many girls, they will do these useless, if they have the ability to go out and earn some money for the family, I have a hard life, the man is dead, the son is still young, and he gave birth to a bunch of girls, half a penny is worthless, and the dowry is upside down, your useless father will not settle you all down one by one and then die, leaving me so much burden, marrying his wife is really eight lifetimes of mold, if my Xian'er is still here, if Xian'er is still there......" Her tone weakened, and even her voice became distorted because of grief.

Su Chan was most tired of this distorted sadness, swallowed the remaining soup and rice in one go, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you going to drive your eldest sister back to Sun's house?"

"Otherwise, you're going to raise her?" Hu Shi was also disgusted by the indifference of the third daughter, and sneered, "It's rare that Sun Dalang came to greet you a few times when your father had an accident, if you don't mean it, people can't come, it's because she doesn't know what to do, it's better to go back to be a wife or a concubine than to eat at home and wait for death, if you can ask for a dowry again, it's better to hire your second sister out to reduce the burden on the family, fortunately, your second sister and Zhou Cheng are only verbally engaged, and your younger brother still has to study and get married in the future, which you don't know......"

Su Chan didn't wait for her to finish, she had already left her job and went out without saying a word.

Although the Hu family has a pungent temperament and seems to be strong, in fact, she has never raised a family, even when the family is the most difficult, Su Dong is working hard outside, she is not as good as Mrs. Su in this regard, so it is basically impossible to rely on the Hu family for her livelihood in the future, as for Mrs. Su, she is too old and not in good health.

Su Miao lay on the bed with her arms on her pillow, casually throwing away the small gold ingot, it is not a way to continue to sit and eat the mountain empty, maybe she should set up a stall on Changle Street.
