The old lady Han came up and gave each child a slap on the butt. “Go, go, go aside, don’t let your Aunt Su Yue know we want something to eat when we see her.”
The children were not discouraged even if their grandma drove them away, so they followed Su Yue eagerly, forgetting to even play. It shows how powerful food is.
Su Yue did not disappoint them, and said to them: “Auntie will make sweet potatoes and cakes for you to eat later, but you just wait obediently and don’t make trouble.”
The children’s eyes brightened when they heard that there was indeed something delicious, nodded very obediently, indicating that they would definitely not make trouble.
Old Mrs. Han couldn’t laugh or cry, “I’ve never seen these children so obedient.”
Everyone laughed.
At this time, Mrs. Han grabbed Su Yue’s hand and said with great gratitude: “Xiao Su, I really want to thank you. I heard the fourth child talk about what happened to you when you went to the commune hospital yesterday. I was scared to death. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise our family would be unlucky. Xiao Su, you are really our family’s lucky star.”
Su Yue waved her hands quickly, refusing to admit that this matter had anything to do with her, “Auntie, this It has nothing to do with me. It just happened that I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my chest. Brother Han was in a hurry to take me to the hospital. Brother Han and Aimin were lucky.”
But Mrs. Han said, “Xiao Su, don’t refuse. Don’t I know my two sons? If you hadn’t been there yesterday, they would have gone to help. Fourth, don’t you think so?”
Han Aimin, who was named, scratched his head and nodded honestly.
Su Yue had no choice but to emphasize again: “Auntie, I didn’t do anything. I was just lucky yesterday.”
Mrs. Han looked at Su Yue with a smile, and she couldn’t be more satisfied. She felt that Su Yue was a lucky girl, it would be great if she could marry my eldest!
Su Yue had no idea that the old lady was getting more and more happy with her idea of bringing her and Han Aiguo together. She glanced around without leaving a trace, only to find that the Han family members were all there, but there was no Han Aiguo. Where was he ?
Su Yue pretended to be casual and asked: “Hey? Where’s Brother Han? Why don’t I see him?”
Han Aimin saw that the door to his eldest brother’s room was closed, and scratched his head in confusion: “Brother was here just now, when did he went back to sleep early. ”
Su Yue glanced at Han Aiguo’s door, her eyes darkened, and she said nothing.
Mrs. Han rolled her eyes and said quickly: “He just went back to the house to rest. I guess his legs are not feeling well.”
” Oh, then I’ll go to the kitchen to work.” Su Yue felt unhappy, but she didn’t waste time, after entering with Li Xiaoqing, they knead the dough and make a cake.
While steaming the cakes, Su Yue washed and peeled the sweet potatoes she brought, then cut them into hob pieces that were five centimeters long and about two centimeters thick at the back, then added oil to the pot, and poured the cold oil into the sweet potatoes quickly. Slowly heat and fry until the sweet potatoes are almost golden brown and crusty on the outside.
Next, add water and sugar to the pot again, simmer over low heat until it is slightly yellow and can be shredded, then add the previously fried sweet potato cubes, let the syrup evenly coat the sweet potato cubes, and finally sprinkle with white sesame seeds.
Su Yue smelled the aroma and couldn’t wait to pick up a piece with her chopsticks to taste the texture. It was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, soft and waxy, sweet and delicious, so fragrant that she couldn’t help but squint her eyes in enjoyment.
At this time, the familiar voice of the system sounded in my mind:
Host, this sweet potato dish has been rated as C-level by the system. Congratulations on earning ten points.
Su Yue had become accustomed to the system’s point reminders during this period, so she no longer had any inner fluctuations. She just looked at her points panel naturally, and the number on it reached 332 points.
After she came here, she often cooked delicious food and made a lot of extra food to sell. She earned a lot of points almost every day. In less than a month, she had already accumulated more than 330 points, which is pretty good. , but Su Yue was still dissatisfied because it was still far from the 800 points she expected, and she still needed to continue working hard.
It would be great if there were no tickets for buying food here, so that she could buy as much as she could, and then work hard to cook, and she would definitely earn points faster than she does now. It’s a pity, there aren’t that many ingredients for her to cook all day long. She has to go to work, and there is not much time for her to make delicious food.
There is a long way to go.
Su Yue filled a bowl with it and prepared to take it back to Wu Xiaoxiao and the others, and then brought the remaining large plate of shredded sweet potatoes to the main room for the Han family to try.
The Han family had been looking forward to it for a long time, especially the children. They were almost looking forward to it. The moment they saw Su Yue coming out, their cheeks turned red with excitement.
Su Yue put the shredded sweet potatoes on the table, “Okay kids, let’s eat quickly!”
The children cheered, grabbed their chopsticks and started to eat on the plates without saying anything more.
Ever since they were conquered by Su Yue’s cooking, the adults in the Han family have all become greedy.
Like the children, they look forward to Su Yue coming out of the kitchen every time. They are not polite this time and hold chopsticks without Su Yue’s greeting. Joining the children’s battle, the scene is also lively.
However, Su Yue had no intention of watching this lively scene this time. She searched again, but found that Han Aiguo was still not there, and his room door was tightly closed.
There was so much noise when she came, there was no way he didn’t know about it, and it had been so long, so he should have come out anyway. Did he not come out on purpose?
Everyone was immersed in eating, and no one noticed Su Yue’s disappointed look. Only Mrs. Han noticed it. She was worried in her heart, but on the surface she smiled and said to Su Yue: “Xiao Su, Ai Guo’s legs are a little uncomfortable today. , he went to bed early so I didn’t call him. It’s a pity that he can’t eat such delicious food.”
Su Yue didn’t know whether what Mrs. Han said was true, so she asked, “Brother Han’s legs are okay. Right?”
Old Mrs. Han waved her hand: “It’s okay, just some rest and he’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”
It doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with his legs. Su Yue nodded, looked at Han Aiguo’s room again, turned and went into the kitchen to see if the cake was ready. She was finally convinced in her heart that she didn’t notice anything wrong last night and that Han Aiguo was deliberately alienating her.
But why suddenly alienate her?
Su Yue thought about it carefully, and after much deliberation, there was only one reason, and that was that he didn’t want to cross the line between normal men and women with her!
Su Yue could feel that Han Aiguo had some feelings for her. She felt that he must also like her. Otherwise, when she pretended to be sick in town yesterday, he would not be so worried and anxious, and there was even deep distress in his eyes. In the end he even ignored rescuing people. If you didn’t like her, why would you be so anxious and distressed? The relationship between ordinary men and women cannot be like this. Moreover, Han Aiguo has a serious temperament, doesn’t like to talk, and won’t be in close contact with others. If a girl who doesn’t feel sick gets sick, he won’t hug her even if he sends her to the hospital.
Yesterday, he carried her to the hospital and even wiped her sweat.
She was very confident that he had fallen in love with her.
He should have realized it himself. But to her surprise, he didn’t want to take a step closer, but was ready to retreat and keep the relationship between them on the line of a normal man and woman.
Su Yue thought about it, and the only reason might be his leg injury. He himself believed that his leg would never recover and he would be disabled in the future, so he didn’t dare to like her and didn’t want to delay her.
Su Yue quickly analyzed Han Aiguo’s psychology thoroughly in the kitchen, and the analysis was all correct.
But it’s useless if the analysis is correct. The key is to untie Han Aiguo’s knot and not let him think that he is disabled, otherwise he will never want to be with her.
Su Yue could understand his approach and put herself in his shoes. If she was disabled and would not be able to make money and work in the future, and would only drag others down, then she would definitely not want to drag down the people she likes. That would be too selfish.
But how to make him believe that his leg can still be saved? She only has more than 300 points in her hand now, and it will take a long time to reach 800 points. Now she can’t come up with the prescription that can cure her legs.
Su Yue was so anxious that she couldn’t help but secretly complain that the price in the system mall was too expensive. Why couldn’t she get a discount for so many 800 points?
As if it knew Su Yue’s inner complaints, the system suddenly said: ” Host, all products in the system mall will not be discounted.”
Su Yue pursed her lips and said “Oh” depressedly, suddenly not wanting to pay attention to this uncompromising system.
Su Yue felt that it was up to her to tell Han Aiguo about this matter. She had to tell him that his leg could get better, even if it didn’t get better for the time being, it would definitely get better in the future.
However, Su Yue wanted to find a chance to have a good talk with Han Aiguo, but she couldn’t find the chance for several days. Whenever she went to Han’s house to make food, he either fell asleep in the room or went outside to get firewood. Otherwise, he just went out to wander around, and hence she never met him.
It pissed her off.
He simply didn’t want to meet her on purpose.
That night, the loudspeaker in the village suddenly rang, “Attention, members, there will be a movie showing at the brigade headquarters tonight.”
He said it three times in a row.
This announcement immediately made the village excited. The children were jumping with joy and couldn’t wait to rush out to tell other children about this.
Not only the children, but the adults were also happy. Many club members hurried home, planning to go home to make early dinner, have food and go to the brigade headquarters to watch a movie.
Li Xiaoqing and others were also very excited and made dinner early. As soon as they finished eating, they pulled Su Yue and ran to the brigade headquarters.
Wu Xiaoxiao shouted anxiously: “Hurry up, we are going to be late. If the seats in front are all occupied by others, we won’t be able to see from the back. ”
Su Yue was led by a few of them to run. As she ran, she could see many women and children running forward with small stools in their arms. Everyone had to go to the front to get a good seat. Su Yue was panting from running.
When she arrived at the venue where the movie was shown, she was shocked. Countless people were already standing or sitting in front of the movie curtain before it got dark.
Children were skipping rope and playing hide-and-seek. Adults came in advance. Just sitting there chatting enthusiastically. The whole place was noisy, just like the vegetable market.
Su Yue: “Where did so many people come from? ”
Li Xiaoqing pulled Su Yue forward to occupy the seat and replied: “When we play a movie, people from the next village will come over and watch it together. This is how movies are played in the countryside. ”
Su Yue was squished around behind Li Xiaoqing, and finally found a seat relatively close to the front to sit down. Her back was already covered with sweat from being squeezed.
When it got dark and the movie was about to be officially screened, the entire venue turned energetic. There were already people sitting on the seats, and some who came late stood on the bench and watched.
Suddenly, someone patted Su Yue’s shoulder. Su Yue looked back and saw that it was Han Aimin.
Han Aimin was very excited. “Sister Su Yue, sit in front of me! ”
Su Yue turned around and looked at the row behind her, and found that several children of the Han family were there, as well as Han Lao Er and Han Lao San. She couldn’t help but ask him: “All your family members are here tonight? ”
Han Aimin shook his head, “No, originally we were planning to come as a whole family, but the eldest brother said that his legs were paining, so he didn’t join in the fun. My eldest brother is at home alone, and my mother and sisters-in-law are over there. ”
Han Aimin pointed in the direction as he spoke.
Su Yue felt happy, haha, let’s see where you run tonight.
She will definitely catch him tonight.
