Chapter 998 The Female Supporting Character Is Lazy and Eating (8)
The sun shone on the Su family's courtyard. Su Xiangran sat quietly on a worn wooden chair, holding the boiled egg that had just been "forced" into her by Old Lady Su.
She took a light bite, and the warm egg yolk spread in her mouth, bringing a light sense of satisfaction.
However, this satisfaction did not last long, because her mind had already flown elsewhere.
Su Xiangran held her chin and looked into the distance with a wandering gaze, wondering whether she should cook a meal and send it to her mother Feng Yu and her third aunt.
Recalling that after the commune canteen was disbanded last year, every household started cooking for themselves.
The meals for her uncle's family have always been prepared by her grandmother, while in their family it is usually her mother Feng Yu who prepares dry food in advance and brings it over.
Even her own lunch every day was pre-prepared dry food.
It was fine when the weather was hot before, but now that the weather is getting cooler, the cold water and dry food are really hard to swallow.
Thinking of this, Su Xiangran couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Alas!"
She was used to a life of carefree food and clothing in every world, but now she has to live such a hard life with limited funds, which really makes her feel very uncomfortable.
Although he has the special ability to promote the growth of plants, after all, distant water cannot quench nearby fire. No matter how powerful he is, it will take a few days for the food that can fill his stomach to grow out of thin air.
Just as Su Xiangran was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a crisp knock on the door.
"Who is it?" She frowned and asked loudly in confusion.
"Sister Xiaoran, I'm your brother Weidong." A familiar voice came from outside the door. It turned out that it was Qiao Weidong standing there.
"Brother Weidong, why are you here?" Su Xiangran quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and opened it.
"I just came back from delivering luggage to my comrade-in-arms and passed by your place, so I came to see you." Wei Dong said with a smile, "I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative today, and it's rare to have this kind of basin in stock, so I brought it here."
Then, he took out a paper bag and said, "I'm lucky today. Not only is there a basin, but there are also some sweet cakes. You can try them."
Su Xiangran was a little surprised, but did not take the paper bag immediately.
In this era, enamel basins and sweet cakes are precious materials and rare items. He took the paper bag carefully.
Qiao Weidong didn't give her a chance to refuse. He put the paper bag into the basin and stuffed it into Su Xiangran's hand: "Here, I bought this for you. I, a man, don't eat these."
"But..." Su Xiangran pursed her lips. It would be a lie to say that she didn't want to eat. She had been here for several days. Regardless of whether she was hungry or not, she was very craving for it.
There was originally a pattern on her wrist that was transformed from a spiritual bracelet, but it had not been used for a long time, and she tried several times but failed to take out the things inside.
The only thing to be thankful for is that there is still sufficient spiritual energy, and it seems that it is urgent to stimulate the growth of plants.
"It's just some snacks, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Qiao Weidong completely ignored her objection and was about to leave the Su family.
But just after taking a few steps, he saw Mrs. Su standing at the door next door, looking at him warily. Qiao Weidong felt a little nervous: "Grandma Su, I am from the Qiao family, and I just got back from the army.
My name is Qiao Weidong, I am 22 years old, and I am currently recovering from my injuries at home. When the time comes, the organization will arrange for me to work with you. I..."
"Stop talking!" Su Xiangran immediately stopped the other party from speaking. What was going on? Why was it always like this?
In fact, Qiao Weidong himself was also quite depressed. Although he was not a good talker, he was not the kind of person who would "introduce himself" to everyone he met.
But in the past few days, every time he met the elders of the Su family, he did this. It was quite embarrassing to think about it.
Old Lady Su looked him up and down, then nodded and said, "He looks like a strong man. What did you bring?"
Su Xiangran thought of the eggs she had this morning and quickly opened the paper package: "Nana, it's a snack, you should have some too!"
"I don't like sweet things." Old Mrs. Su said this, but her eyes kept looking at him.
"Grandma, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, I just want to try something new." Su Xiangran said as she took a few snacks for Grandma Su.
Old Mrs. Su nodded and took the snacks back to the Su family’s main house.
Seeing her leave, Qiao Weidong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Sister Xiaoran, your grandma looks like..."
Su Xiangran interrupted him and explained, "Although my grandma is sometimes tough, she is a very good person and takes good care of me. She even gave me an egg this morning!"
That's good!
At this time, eggs are very precious, but speaking of this, Qiao Weidong also began to consider raising a chicken at home.
The two talked for a while before Qiao Weidong left.
As soon as he left, the door of the Su family's main room opened, and Old Lady Su came out and said out of the blue, "Except for being a little older, everything else is fine."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangran blushed reflexively.
