Chapter 54: The Past

Granny Jiang didn't care about Su Bai's appearance regardless of her image, and looked at Su Bai and couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, good, there are still a lot of them in the pot, eat slowly, don't get hot." ”

Su Bai didn't raise his head and only cared about eating noodles, Cheng Yubai looked at Su Bai, who was looking down and only caring about eating noodles, turned his head and smiled a little embarrassed at Granny Jiang and said, "Mother-in-law, don't mind, my friend is like this, I can't help but look ugly, and the amount of food is very large." ”

As soon as Cheng Yubai's words fell, Su Bai on the side seemed to prove the accuracy of what Cheng Yubai said, raised his head and wiped his mouth with his hand, picked up the bowl on the table and looked at Granny Jiang with a flattering face and said, "Can Mother-in-law have another bowl?" It's really delicious! ”

Granny Jiang looked at Su Bai in surprise, she didn't expect Su Bai to eat so fast! Cheng Yubai on the side saw that Su Bai was so unproductive, so he turned his head and covered his face.

"Well, wait a minute, I'll go and bring you another bowl." Granny Jiang looked at Su Bai and was stunned, smiled and said to Su Bai.

"You... It's really... You can eat it! Cheng Yubai looked at Su Bai and said helplessly.

"Mother-in-law, can you bring me another bowl?" He Zihan hurriedly ate the noodles in the bowl, and also picked up the bowl like Su Bai and looked at Granny Jiang with a flattering face.

"You two..."Cheng Yubai turned his head to look at He Zihan, pointed at the two of them with his finger, and finally put them down a little weakly.

"Okay, you guys wait here, come right away." Granny Jiang took the two empty bowls and turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Su Bai looked at Granny Jiang's rickety figure, and muttered, "The noodles made by Granny Jiang are really delicious!" ”

He Zihan on the side also nodded in agreement with Su Bai's words, and said with a little aftertaste, "It's really delicious, even those chefs in Frost City are not as delicious as their mother-in-law's." ”

Cheng Yubai glanced at the heartless two, and said angrily, "What a two-headed foodie!" ”

The three of them ate and drank to their heart's content, sat on the chair and chatted with Granny Jiang.

Su Bai looked at the empty bowl on the table, and asked Granny Jiang with some curiosity, "Mother-in-law, how do you make your noodles so delicious?" ”

Granny Jiang looked at the empty bowl on the table, sighed a long sigh and said slowly to the three of them, "My mother once opened a noodle restaurant, although the noodle restaurant is not big, but because the price is relatively affordable and the portion is sufficient, it gradually has some fame, and I learned the skills of making noodles from my mother at that time." ”

When He Zihan heard Granny Jiang's words, he seemed to suddenly realize, turned his head to look at Granny Jiang and said, "Mother-in-law's noodle making skills are really not as good as yours!" ”

Seeing He Zihan's sincere face, Granny Jiang couldn't help but smile at a few people with some embarrassment and said, "Don't flatter me, it's just a bowl of noodles, how can it be as good as you say." ”

Granny Jiang said, a trace of grief suddenly flashed in her eyes, she lowered her head and looked at the table blankly, as if she was a little distracted, and muttered, "There used to be a person who praised the delicious noodles I made, but now..."

Seeing that Granny Jiang seemed to recall the past, Su Bai gently grabbed Granny Jiang's wrinkled hands, looked at Granny Jiang and said slowly, "Mother-in-law, tell us about your past, I guess you must have been a beauty when you were young, and there must have been many people pursuing you, right?" ”

When Granny Jiang saw Su Bai joking with herself, she immediately laughed out loud, gently scratched Su Bai's nose and said to Su Bai with a doting face, "What a quirky little girl!" ”

Su Bai shrunk his neck, didn't speak, and sat there quietly looking at Granny Jiang.

Granny Jiang calmed down, looked at the flickering lights and recalled her past, and slowly opened her mouth to tell her story to the three of them...

"When I was very young, probably in my teens, the situation at home was not very good, my father only knew how to gamble every day, my mother had a gentle personality, although I persuaded my father many times not to gamble anymore, but every time I got only a beating." Granny Jiang's eyes seemed to be a little moist when she said this, and Su Bai hurriedly handed Granny Jiang a handkerchief.

Granny Jiang looked at the three of them and smiled bitterly and continued, "After my mother's many dissuasions, my father not only did not restrain himself, but intensified his efforts, every time he went home after losing a bet, he would punch and kick my mother, and even sometimes I couldn't escape the beating, but every time my mother would use her body to protect me, I was still young at that time, and I could only hide in my mother's arms and keep crying. ”

When Su Bai heard this, he seemed to be a little unable to control his emotions, and slammed the table and stood up and said angrily, "How can there be such a father in the world!" He is not only an unqualified husband, but also unworthy of being a father! ”

He Zihan also seemed to be upset with Granny Jiang, but he was not as impulsive as Su Bai, he just clenched his fists and blushed and continued to listen to Granny Jiang continue to tell her story.

Seeing that Su Bai was upset about herself, Granny Jiang couldn't help but smile bitterly and pulled Su Bai to sit down beside her.

"Later, my father was in debt, and he was collected for his debts and didn't know where he fled, and those debt collectors couldn't find my father, so they came to harass our mother and daughter every day, and even said that they would sell me to a brothel." Speaking of this, Granny Jiang also became excited, remembering the inhuman treatment her mother and herself received at that time, and grabbed Su Bai's hand tightly.

When He Zihan heard this, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and he lowered his head and roared viciously, "This group of beasts! ”

Granny Jiang let out a long sigh, wiped the tears on her face and continued, "Later, my mother fled with me to this Jiang town, after coming here, my mother and I felt like we had regained our freedom, no one here knew us, and we no longer had to worry about someone coming to collect debts, so my mother and I began to rely on each other, and set up a small stall in this town to sell noodles." ”

Granny Jiang slowly stood up, walked to the door, looked at the dark night sky, turned her head and muttered a little distractedly, "The noodles made by my mother are very delicious, many people come to eat noodles every day, and my mother treats people very well. ”

"And then? What happened? Su Bai heard that Granny Jiang's life was gradually improving, and he was secretly happy for Granny Jiang, and hurriedly urged Granny Jiang, eager to know the later story.
