Chapter 7 Bean Soup and Rice
"How long have you been knowing someone who can bully you?" Su Miao looked at Su Yan still there, and took out a handkerchief and rubbed it on his little face, which was even more tender and attractive than herself, as if she had a genetic mutation.
"Last time, last time they thought I was a girl, I said I wasn't, they, they bullied me all day long...... Whining...... Woo......" Su Yan was still sobbing aggrievedly, "I obviously didn't do anything, why did they bully me?" â
Su Miao looked at his "weak" and "sad" little face, didn't know what to say for a while, and coughed lightly:
"Let's go, go back, why did you suddenly run out at this hour?"
"Mother, eldest sister and grandmother quarreled again, I was scared, and I came out to find the third sister." Su Yan drooped his head and whispered while following her, twisting his hands.
Su Miao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you arguing?" â
"The mother told the eldest sister that she wanted the eldest sister to go back to her mother-in-law's house, and the family couldn't afford to support her, so the eldest sister quarreled with the mother, and the grandmother came out to scold the eldest sister, and the mother quarreled with the grandmother, and the eldest sister quarreled with the grandmother, and the mother then quarreled with the eldest sister, and then the three of them quarreled together."
Su Miao had a headache and was speechless when she heard this, at this moment, Su Yan suddenly paused and looked at her, Su Miao was stunned, turned her head and looked at him puzzled, but saw him blink twice with clear eyes like an elk, and then said strangely:
"Why did the second sister talk to me today, and she helped me when others bullied me, the second sister didn't care about these things and wouldn't talk to me before."
"That used to be ......" Su Miao also blinked her eyes twice, Su Miao was withdrawn and timid in the past, but she was often considered to be pretending to be high, and her relationship with her sisters in the family was not ordinarily poor, and her younger brother was not close to her, Su Yan suddenly asked Su Miao how to answer for a while, and reached out and patted the back of his head, "You were bullied by me before, whether it was because you wanted you to be a man who could protect yourself, I was your sister anyway, and I couldn't watch you being picked up by others." But the next time someone bullies you like that, you don't just cry, you should beat them up so that they don't dare to bully you again. â
Su Yan lowered his head timidly and whispered to his fingers:
"I don't do that rude, I don't like to fight."
Su Miao was speechless, but she still hugged the back of his head and led him home.
At the entrance of the alley, the slender and sturdy and heroic girl stood in the dark, silently looking at the sisters and brothers walking side by side, and pursed her two thin lips.
Su Miao took Su Yan back to the Su family's courtyard, and when she stepped into the fence door, she heard Hu Shi trembling with anger and shouting loudly:
"Get out! Get out of here, all of you! â
"Let me go? There are no doors! Where did this house come from, it wasn't bought with the money from the sale of me, it was used to eat well, wear good clothes, live well, and live well with the money from selling my body, this will cross the river and tear down the bridge, and I will be a bully! Phew! Su Xian's voice was soft and crisp, but it was extremely harsh and distorted because of the angry hysteria in her tone.
"Who are you spitting! Little, get out of here, get out right now! Hu Shi was so angry that he couldn't scold anything else, and he roared with a trembling face.
"Scolding me for being a/son? That's right, I'm a, so what are you, you're not a bustard yourself after selling a! A slap on Su Xian's face made Su Xian completely crazy, and her eyes widened and she screamed sharply, "You dare to hit me!" You beat me! Then there was a crackling sound in the hall.
"What the hell do you two want to do!" Mrs. Su was so angry that she trembled, knocked on her crutches, and said loudly in pain and annoyance, "Ah Dong just left, you are making such a fuss, the Su family is really bad for eight lifetimes, you two troublemakers, you all get out of here!" â
"Who are you telling to get out, this is my house, if you want to get out, you get out!"
"You, you poisonous woman, dare to talk to your mother-in-law like this!"
Obviously, the hall has become a battlefield, and as soon as Su Yan heard the hysterical voices of the three women, he immediately grabbed Su Miao's clothes and hid behind Su Miao, and poked out half of his head in worry.
Su Miao sighed helplessly, the pimples in the hearts of the three women of the Su family were not a day or two, and now that Su Dong is gone, the family property is gone, and all the pimples have erupted with the collapse of love. Glancing back at the panicked Su Yan, this child did not have the responsibility of the only man in the family at all. She didn't plan to persuade her, she was going to pass by the front of the hall when she returned to the room, so she simply took Su Yan's hand and quietly walked into the small kitchen built out of the wall, and asked Su Yan to sit down at the thick wooden table.
"Second sister...... Don't you persuade? The scolding in the hall made Su Yan's heart tremble, his eyes were full of panic, and he asked cautiously.
"Now persuasion will only add fuel to the fire, and when you are tired of arguing, you will naturally stop arguing." Su Miao said with a smile.
"Will the eldest sister be driven away, my mother and grandmother don't seem to want the eldest sister to live anymore?" Su Yan hung her beautiful head and asked a little sadly.
"My father is gone, the restaurant is gone, the family has no income and has spent all my savings, and my mother is afraid that she won't be able to support so many mouths, and the eldest sister will go back to her mother-in-law's house at least without worrying about food and clothing."
"But but, they drove the eldest sister away, and if the eldest sister goes back, she will definitely be bullied by them!" Su Yan was anxious, straightened his neck and said, but lowered his head again when he met Su Miao's smiling face.
"Yan'er likes the eldest sister very much?" Su Miao asked suspiciously, they were not born when Su Xian was sold, and they only knew that there was a sister who had saved zĂ i for so many years, and when Su Xian came back, she scolded Huai all day long, causing the family to be uneasy.
Su Yan frowned, sulked for a long time, and whispered: "No matter what, she is the eldest sister, and besides, the eldest sister is very pitiful." â
Su Miao was slightly stunned, paused, and smiled.
Angry footsteps sounded, and the quarrel in the hall ended with Su Xian's angry departure, and Hu Shi scolded in a loud voice:
"White-eyed wolf! Heartless! Get out of here and don't come back! â
Su Yan shrank again, Su Miao looked through the crack in the door for a moment, and saw that the hall was finally calm, with her hands propped on the table, she looked down at Su Yan, and asked with a smile:
"Hungry?"
Su Yan didn't answer, his stomach responded first and made a loud grunt, his face flushed, Su Miao smiled, turned around and walked to the stove, lit a fire, opened the rice bowl that was almost bottomed, raised his eyebrows helplessly, scooped out two scoops of miscellaneous grains and rice, washed them, and simmered them in the pot.
Su Yan looked at her curiously, but saw that she poured out a bunch of dirty chopped shiitake mushrooms, washed them carefully, put them in the pot, added an appropriate amount of broad beans and poured water, boiled them over high heat, and then boiled them over low heat to make a clear soup.
Su Miao neatly chopped the green onions, heated the oil pot, added the white peas that had been soaked in enough water and drained, and added the vegetarian stock until the peas were ripe, got out of the pot, put oil in the hot pot, shredded green onions and a little peppercorns to stir out the fragrance, then poured in the peas vegetarian stock and rice, simmered over low heat until boiling, then simmered for a while, transferred salt, lightly raised with plain hands, sprinkled with green green onions and scalded by the hot soup and rice, exuding a very beautiful fragrance in the steaming heat, with a warmth that can calm the turmoil in the heart.
