Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 390 Aunt Su He is very envious of her own family

Who knows that the eggs in my mother's house are stored in jars. Grandma Su He said that even if you look at this jar, it will be used up in a short time. But they are not eaten up, but made into preserved eggs and sold.

Aunt Su He was extremely envious, but she didn't ask around. If her mother was willing to tell her, she would learn a skill to support herself. If not, she, as a married girl, would not complain.

This is related to her family's business, so she still has some sense of propriety. She also knows that if her family is doing well, she will also have face, so her children and husband are very respectful to her parents.

This is related to my usual preaching and also because my mother's family is doing well. If my mother's family is poor, they will have to starve together, so what's the point of greeting?

Aunt Su He looked at her mother and said lovingly to the children, "Eat more. If it's not enough, ask your mother to cook more. We have a lot of chickens at home, so you can eat as many eggs as you want."

The children stopped fighting over food this time. They knew they couldn't do that, or their grandmother would scold them. Although the family was not wealthy, there were still some rules. If they went a little beyond the rules, they would be scolded by the adults.

Aunt Su He said quickly, "That's enough. They've eaten a lot. You can't spoil them like this. Otherwise, it would be too unruly."

Grandma Su He said: "My children have come such a long way, and they didn't eat or sleep well along the way. It's not okay to let them follow the rules and not eat enough after finally arriving home."

Aunt Su He had no other choice but to use her eyes to signal the children that it was almost done. The children also began to eat slowly. In fact, they had almost finished eating, but they just felt that the eggs were so delicious that they were reluctant to put down their chopsticks.

The family finished their meal happily. Su He's uncle accompanied Grandpa Su He to drink a few cups, and the boys also had a cup. Both tables of food and rice were eaten up. Seeing everyone burping, Grandma Su He was very happy.

After dinner, she started to get the bedding she had put away and spread it out in all four rooms. There were too many people and the bedding at home was not enough. Fortunately, her daughters brought their own!

She didn't hesitate to tell the children to light up the big kang so that the room wouldn't be cold. This way, each adult would have a quilt, and the children would have to share a bed. The children usually did housework at home, so they started working right away without being taught.

Grandpa Su He went to ask his brother's son to help deliver a letter, asking the eldest and second daughter to go home.

Everything was arranged and by the evening, every room was full of people. The old lady looked at each room and made sure everyone had a good rest, then she went back to her room to sleep.

It gets dark early at this time of the night, and the villagers are reluctant to turn on the lights. Although Su He installed a night light here, the time it stays on is still limited. The family turned off the lights and went to bed early.

When my aunt and her friends saw the light at night, they were very curious. Su He's grandmother smiled and said, "This was all made by Su He, but it saved the family a lot of money on lamp oil. But when she said it was not easy to make, she didn't sell it, and only used it for her own family."

Aunt Su He and the others kept praising the little girl they had never met. Because they came back so rarely, they had never seen each other.
