The Su family and the Liu family have gone through so many things, and they have already gotten along as if they were very harmonious friends. Even if there is a relationship between employer and employee, everyone gets along very well, public is public, private is private.
Everyone is a sensible and reasonable person, so there is no barrier in their hearts because of this reason.
So Liu Yunniang told Su Qingluan in the morning that they would officially move the next day and invited their family to have hot pot. During the day, Mrs. Xi came over and talked to Yang and the others again.
Yang and Su Guangfu were both surprised and happy when they found out, and they sent a series of congratulations.
Madam Xi was naturally smiling from ear to ear, and invited the whole Su family to go to the hotpot together tomorrow.
Originally, Yang and Su Guangfu were still hesitating, but Su Qingluan smiled beside her and said, "Mom and dad, I have already promised Yun Niang this morning!"
"Okay!" Yang smiled and nodded Su Qingluan's forehead, "Little girl, we two don't know what's going on yet, how about you two get some air between you first?"
Of course, Su Qingluan knew that although her mother said this in an angry tone, she didn't really mean to blame her, she was just joking.
When Mrs. Xi heard the Su family's response, she naturally smiled happily and said she was waiting for them to warm up the pot together. Then she went back to her own cake stall and went to greet her guests.
Su Qingluan thought that the hot pot would naturally bring gifts, so she couldn't have empty hands, right? So I discussed it with my parents.
A few people murmured for a long time, and finally decided - compared to any fancy names, for ordinary people, the real things in life are more important.
So the next day when the Su family went out to sell their stall normally, both Aunt Yang and Shouhouer, as well as the guests who were familiar with each other, all joked: "I said your family has something to do with pots and pans, and... Cups, saucers and jars, do you need to move them or what?"
Mrs. Xi was buying cooking cakes across the street. She was still a certain distance away from the Su family's water stall, so she couldn't really see what was going on here.
It was almost noon, and the Su family's water was almost sold out. Madam Xi also wanted to close the stall earlier, but when she saw the pile of pots and bowls placed behind the Su family, she was also overjoyed.
"Brother Su, sister-in-law, are you planning to set up a stall at my house?" Mrs. Xi couldn't help but joke.
Su Qingluan also knew that her family accidentally bought a little too much, so she explained: "Auntie, you don't know something. Our family feels that compared to those flashy things, it is better to give you something that can be used." It's more realistic - it's just that everyone has a slightly different standard of what is the most practical."
It's more than just "a little" different. Yesterday, the family almost had a quarrel because of what gifts they brought to the Liu family's "hot pot"——
Yang believes that the most frequently used tableware is dishes and bowls, which will be broken accidentally and cause a lot of wear and tear. As a chef, Su Qingluan’s first thought must be kitchen utensils such as pots and knives, not to mention fine utensils. Kitchenware made of iron is expensive, and the Liu family will not be willing to buy it for the time being; while Su Guangfu thinks that some common furniture is more needed.
In the end, the father-in-law said that he was right, and the mother-in-law said that she was right. Everyone just bought everything they thought was most practical, and brought it together in large and small packages - and then the Su family's stall became a salesman's basket.
At first, Mrs. Xi refused to accept this pile of things, until Su Qingluan resorted to a rogue trick - I bought it anyway, and there is no way to return it. We will not take it home, and it will be a waste if we throw it away.
Of course, when she actually said it, she couldn't be so blunt and rude, but that's what she meant.
So Ms. Yang stayed to pick up her son and went home to pick up her little daughter. Su Qingluan and her father walked towards the Liu family's new home under the leadership of Mrs. Xi - of course, they had more or less various things in their hands. Plant pots and pans.
This scene was so spectacular that Liu Yuniang, who came out to greet her, blurted out involuntarily: "Auntie, are you going to rob me and my father behind our backs?"
Madam Xi glared at Liu Yunniang angrily: "Why do I need to go robbing? This is because I am very popular!"
Except for Su Guangfu who was a boring gourd, everyone else was lively and everyone walked in together laughing and chatting.
Su Qingluan has been looking at the Liu family's newly rented yard from the beginning. Although this courtyard is only a small one at the second entrance, it is located close to the edge, and it takes two-quarters of an hour to walk from the bustling market - in a small town like Lefeng Town, two-quarters of an hour is already quite a long walk. It's a remote place - but it's clean.
Naturally, the yard with two entrances cannot be expected to have any elegant courtyard. It is good to have a front and back yard. However, even though they have a front and back yard, it seems that the Liu family has not had time to clean it thoroughly. The rocks and weeds in the middle have been cleared away, but there are still tall weeds in the stone cracks in the surrounding corners that can cover most of the people.
Madam Xi noticed Su Qingluan's gaze and sighed: "We moved in a hurry and didn't take good care of the yard. It really made Madam Su laugh."
Su Qingluan didn't mind at all: "What's the matter? I'm always in a hurry when moving. If Mrs. Xi needs anything, just ask and I will definitely come to help."
Liu Yunniang and Su Qingluan were already good friends, so they talked more casually, so she joked: "If I asked you to cook something, you might be good at it, but this kind of work..." She looked up and down. He checked Su Qingluan's height and made a gesture near his ear, "Isn't this grass taller than you?"
"Hey!" How do you respond to a personal attack properly?
Although Madam Xi knew that Su Qingluan was not a narrow-minded person, she still felt that her daughter was a little bit outspoken, so she joked: "Madam Su is good at cooking and taking care of business. You can only know how to do it." What’s the use of growing up stupid and big?”
"Look, my mother doesn't look down on my daughter!" Liu Yunniang pretended to hold her heart in her arms, making everyone laugh again.
Although the Su family brought a bunch of pots and pans, they were basically things that could be used daily. And just as Su Qingluan expected, the Liu family didn't have the luxury to buy fine iron pots and knives for the time being, so although the items Su Qingluan bought could be considered "luxury goods", they were really It's very useful.
Now that you have decided to eat shabu-shabu, even if you don’t need special cooking skills, the preparation of various vegetables in the early stage is indispensable.
The main force of the Yang family has not yet arrived, so Mrs. Xi and Liu Yunniang are busy washing and cutting vegetables, preparing seasonings, sauces and pot bottoms.
Su Qingluan used the fine iron kitchen knife she just bought to cut today's various kinds of meat.
As for the two male owners, they murmured and went to see where the somewhat dilapidated yard needed urgent repairs.
