Su Wan steamed crabs in a steamer, and then served steamed pork with rice flour and cold shredded tripe on the table.
"Shanhe, this cold tripe is your favorite, try it quickly."
Su Wan took a chopstick of cold salad and put it into Zhao Shanhe's mouth.
She had always been thinking about Zhao Shanhe's fondness for eating cold pork belly, but this pork belly was not only difficult to buy, but also very expensive. Her family could not afford it in the past.
Now that she had a lot of money, she was naturally thinking about it. She went to the vegetable market for three or four days before buying a piece of pork belly. When she came back, she cleaned the pork belly without any odor and boiled it in hot water. , cut some cucumber shreds and green pepper shreds and mix them with the chili sauce she made by herself. Zhao Shanhe loves this bite the most.
"It's spicy and fragrant. It's so delicious. Wife, you are so kind to me." Zhao Shanhe took Su Wan's hand and scratched her palm with his fingers, which made Su Wan feel itchy.
"How did you learn this unruly thing? It's getting late. Let's eat quickly. After dinner, we can go to bed." Su Wan blushed and entered the kitchen.
At this time, Yan Yan on the side was devouring steamed pork with rice flour. Looking at Su Wan's appearance, she covered her mouth with her fleshy round hands and laughed loudly: "Mom's face is as red as a monkey's ass!"
"I hate it, you two like to make fun of me the most." Su Wan opened the kitchen curtain and said angrily towards Zhao Shanhe and Yan Yanjiao outside.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the steamed crabs were also served on the table. Zhao Shanhe first peeled off one for Su Wan, which was full of golden crab roe. Then he peeled off another one for Yan Yan, which was also full of yellow. Fat.
Zhao Shanhe looked at the greedy crab and peeled one open to eat.
He just felt that this crab was the best, white as jade, yellow as gold, sweet and plump.
"This crab is really amazing. It is said that river crabs in rice fields are the fattest only after autumn, but it's not even June yet, and these crabs are so plump. It's really a good thing."
Su Wan also thinks the crabs are delicious. Let’s not talk about the oily crab roe. Let’s just talk about the crab meat. It’s plump and sweet, with no extra fishy smell. It’s all about the delicious aroma of crab roes. .
"This crab was sold to me by an old man from the countryside. He said that the crabs in the mud pits in the rice fields in their village are very fat and oily during this season. They all say that the mud pits in the rice fields are a treasure!"
Good things don’t come often, but when you do, it’s an opportunity!
After eating and washing, Su Wan put Yanyan to sleep early.
After Yan Yan fell asleep and turned off the lights, Zhao Shanhe lay on the bed with lust, waiting for Su Wan to get into bed.
"Daughter-in-law, can you hurry up?"
"Wait, I'm applying cream."
"Stop rubbing it. I'm here to care for you. It's better than applying any cream on your face."
When Su Wan heard this, she smiled shyly. These days, her face was indeed white and rosy, and she looked much brighter than before.
…
In the middle of the night, Su Wan was lying in Zhao Shanhe's arms and remembered something important.
"Shanhe, my dad sent me a letter this afternoon, saying that if we have time tomorrow, we can go home."
"What happened?"
"It's Su Peng's birthday, let us go back and join in the fun."
Su Peng is the half-brother of Su Wan and Su Xiaoyan. He also went to work in the furniture factory this year. Zhao Shanhe usually couldn't stand his brother-in-law. When it came to celebrating his birthday, he looked unwilling. His mother, who always worshiped others and suppressed others, was even more angry.
"Can you not go? You don't know who your stepmother is. Every time you go back to your parents' house, she will scold her endlessly. Don't say that your father rushed us to go. Even if you come home to invite me, I am too lazy to give you. He has this face."
"Isn't that the time when you were not doing your job properly? Now you are making money steadily. Even if they continue to make irresponsible remarks, I am still hard-core. I will just go back to visit my dad. Don't be angry, okay. No?"
Seeing Su Wan lying in his arms like a kitten and persuading her tenderly, Zhao Shanhe's heart softened and he nodded.
Early the next morning, he made arrangements for the department store, bought a lot of good things with Su Wan, and took Yan Yan back to Su's house.
Although the Su family also lives in Nancheng, they are on the edge of Nancheng. It takes three buses and takes two hours to get there. Therefore, Su Wan rarely takes her children back to her parents' home except when necessary during the New Year and holidays. .
What's more important is that there is a stepmother in the family. No matter how close the father is, he always feels that something is wrong with the family.
In the past two years, the business prospects of the cannery in the suburbs of Nancheng have been poor, and they have been laying off employees year by year. The year before last, Su Wan's father Su Zhengshan was also laid off, and he started cutting people's hair in the bungalow street allocated by the cannery. , barely maintaining the family's large and small expenses.
Su Wan's stepmother Zhang Cailing has been complaining ever since Su Zhengshan was laid off from the cannery factory. Su Zhengshan also asked Su Wan to send some money home every now and then. However, since Zhao Shanhe was hired by the furniture factory, her life has been miserable. She said she was helping her mother's family, but it was hard for her to take the trouble at home.
As a result, Su Zhengshan didn't treat Su Wan well anymore, and complained in his heart that Su Wan was useless. He didn't send any message to ask about Su Wan's current situation throughout the year.
The bungalow allocated by the cannery was much better than the bungalow on Laomin Street rented by Zhao Shanhe and Su Wan. It was clean and bright.
Zhao Shanhe carried something in his hand and knocked on the door. Zhang Cailing opened the door.
Looking at Zhao Shanhe and Su Wan at the door, Zhang Cailing's face suddenly became angry. She glanced at Yan Yan next to Su Wan and said: "Su Peng's birthday, why did you bring this little girl here? It's so noisy. .”
"The child is young, how can we let her stay home alone? Besides, Su Peng is Yan Yan's uncle. It's her uncle's birthday, so she should come to congratulate him." Zhao Shanhe said proactively.
Zhang Cailing looked at him a little surprised, thinking that this kid still managed to say a human word out of his mouth today.
In the past, Su Wan was always alone when she went back to her parents' home. Zhao Shanhe didn't even meet her, but now he is more attentive. He comes to the door in person without saying anything, and still carries something in his hand. It is much better than before, but he is still a poor guy. .
"Then let's go into the house. Yuqiao and Hongwei will be here soon. Hongwei is doing a really big job now!" Zhang Cailing said, raising her chin.
Gao Yuqiao is the daughter Zhang Cailing had with her ex-husband before she married into the Su family for the second time. Li Hongwei is her husband.
Zhang Cailing must be much kinder to her biological daughter than Su Wan and Su Xiaoyan's two stepdaughters. The rice, flour, grains, oils, pork stamps and egg stamps that Su Zhengshan used to share when working in the cannery were all used by Zhang Cailing to make up for her. Biological daughter.
Outside the home, Zhang Cailing is good to her biological daughter and son-in-law. Inside the home, Su Peng is her biological daughter and Su Zhengshan’s only son, who is even more popular. Only Su Wan and Su Xiaoyan have lost their mothers and their fathers have remarried. The miserable sisters spent their lives walking on thin ice, extremely difficult.
