"Hey, okay, Mr. Jiang, please come in and sit down!"
She said it was casual, but in fact, Su's mother was a little reserved and at a loss.
"Okay, parents, come in quickly!" Su Wan grabbed Su's mother's hand and led her into the house.
Her and Su's father's rooms were kept clean, and the bedding was changed to clean ones. On the bed in the room were placed new cloth and cotton that Su Wan bought for them.
"Mom and Dad, I didn't know your specific sizes, so I didn't ask anyone to make them for you. But the fifth brother said that my mother can make clothes by herself, so I only bought cloth and cotton!" Su Wan explained clearly to them.
"Good boy, it's good that you have such a heart. Mom likes it very much!" Mother Su looked at the cloth her daughter bought. It suited her own taste, and she couldn't help but feel a little warmer in her heart.
"Get ready for dinner, Mom and Dad. You must be tired after walking for a day!"
Fifth brother Su Yi came in and called them. Mother and daughter put down their things and went to the main room to eat.
At the table, Su Yun stewed old hen soup, braised pork, braised fish, fried tofu, stir-fried cabbage and other vegetables. She also picked radish and pickled mustard from the jar to serve with rice.
After sitting down, Su Yun first gave his parents a bowl of chicken soup, and Su Wan gave them each a chicken drumstick.
Mother Su gave the chicken legs to Su Wan and let her eat.
"Chicken legs are just for you kids to eat. We are adults, so we won't eat them!"
"Mom, we are not children anymore. You and dad are the protagonists today. Thank you for your hard work. Just stay at home and rest. You don't have to worry about making money to support the family anymore!"
Su Wan returned the chicken legs to her and smiled sincerely at her.
Su's mother and Su's father looked at each other, then nodded, and smiled happily when they saw that the children were so sensible.
Now the pain is finally over, the children are more obedient than the others.
"Okay, your father and I will act like children today!"
They stopped being coy and ate chicken legs with chicken soup, not forgetting to greet Jiang Yu:
"Jiang Yu, the conditions in the countryside are only like this, you just have to make do with it and eat more!"
Su's father is a hospitable person, but he is more casual than Su's mother.
"Yes, thank Uncle Su for your concern!"
Su Wan and the others were still a little used to the way he thanked and addressed each other with honorifics.
Although he was quite polite at first when his condition first improved, but after getting along for a long time, he got along with the Su family brothers, and he was very casual in the past.
At this meal, you can eat meat and rice without restraint, which is a very rare meal for Su's father and Su's mother.
Moreover, this dish tastes very good, especially the braised pork. It looks red and black in color, but it tastes surprisingly delicious.
"Fourth brother, what did you use to fry this meat? Why does it look like this?" Su's father said, stuffing another mouthful of braised pork into his mouth, and he was satisfied.
"How do you think of the sauce I made myself? Is it delicious?" Su Yun thought to himself, you have discovered the difference.
"What kind of sauce?" Mother Su looked curious.
"It's just soy sauce, which can be used to color and season the dishes. Thanks to Su Wan's suggestion, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make it!" Su Yun smiled like a fool.
He glanced at Su Wan and raised his eyebrows at her, meaning to thank her.
"It feels much more delicious than before, and the texture is richer. Or you kids can think about it and come up with your own whims. We parents are already old!"
Mother Su really sighed. It felt like she hadn't been home for a while and many things had changed.
Life turned out to be better in just a few months, and all of this was related to his newly found biological daughter.
"My parents are not old, they are still very young!"
To be honest, Su Wan was not too old to be in her early forties, she was very young. From her perspective as a modern person.
"Wan Wan is used to comforting us." Su's mother gave her a scolding look.
She was sitting between her parents, with food being brought to her from both sides. She had never thought about this scene of being surrounded by family members.
The family was sitting around, the lights were bright, and all eyes were on her. She could finally understand Gu Yue's feelings. If it were her, she would also turn into lemon essence, right?
Even if she is not her relative, the attention and love that belonged to her in the past have been transferred, and she still feels a sense of loss. But the only difference is that she will not be mean and take the initiative to find a sense of existence.
People are like this. They want a lot, but it's hard to have both in the world. Whatever you gain, you are destined to lose.
She lost her wealth, but gained more precious family affection. When Gu Yue returned to her own position, she had to let go of these pure feelings. The Gu family values blood relations, rules, and glamor on the surface, but in fact, just like drinking water, Know your warmth and coldness!
After the meal, Su Yun and the others boiled water for Su's father and Su's mother to bathe. Su Wan gave Su's mother the money he had saved in the past few months, including the Shaqima money earned by his fourth brother.
She will explain clearly to her the purpose of the silver, let her sort it into categories, and ask her to get it when needed.
"I saved these fifty-five taels from selling soap and gave them to my mother. If there are any unpaid debts at home, or the daily purchase of firewood, rice, oil and salt, my mother can take care of it herself. Just take them from here. These eighty taels The second is the capital that the fourth brother has saved from doing business, and my mother also helps him keep it. This money cannot be touched casually. The future expenses for buying raw materials, as well as the wages paid to me, the third brother, and the fifth brother, all come from it, and my mother herself Just remember the accounts clearly.
There are also these one hundred taels of silver notes, which are the medical fees Jiang Yu gave us, as well as the food and lodging money we borrowed at home during this period, which I plan to keep for my elder brother to use on his way to the exam, and they cannot be touched!"
Looking at so much money, except for the fifty-five taels of silver given by Su Wan in a cloth bag, Su Yun's money from selling Shaqima was all scattered copper plates, which had not yet been exchanged for silver and silver notes.
The main reason is that I don't have time to go, and the bank only accepts elders in the family. They are still children, and others are unwilling to accept them for fear of disputes.
Mother Su had never seen so much cash at one time in her life, and she was scared to put it on the table.
"Oh, why are these big things taken out like this? You have to be careful and don't let people worry about them!" Mother Su quickly put them away.
However, she returned the fifty-five taels that Su Wan gave her.
"Son, you keep the money you earn by yourself and keep it as personal money. We can't take it from you. Your third brother has told us that your father's careless nature has caused him to miss a big debt. You helped us pay it back. We are already very sorry. Where can we get your money?
Besides, since the family has relaxed a lot now, Mr. Jiang has given money to repay the favor, and your eldest brother's exam expenses have been settled. Your father and I have saved dozens of taels of silver for him, and we will pay off the family's debts. I can’t have it from you!”
Mother Su can't have it. She hasn't done anything. How can she be so embarrassed?
