Xia Mei was stunned.

Isn't it said that the Su family is very poor? How come the food is so good? And she had never heard of this thing called dumplings before.

But judging from the expressions of the Su family just now, it seemed that this was not the first time they had eaten these dumplings.

Xia Mei was lost in thought, and Su Mu thought that there was not enough in her bowl, so he put another one in her bowl.

Xia Mei raised her head and met Su Mu's smiling eyes. She couldn't help but smile as well.

Life in the Su family is so good. She has food to eat and no one will beat or scold her. Besides, she will be able to marry Su Mu soon, and things will get better and better in the future.

She was really grateful that the Su family did not despise her and accepted her. Such days were like a dream. She would definitely take good care of the people in this house in the future.

Su He looked at the constant changes in Xia Mei's eyes in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose. It's great that big brother can marry the girl he likes!

The Su family did not mention what happened in the Xia family during the day. They were just overjoyed about the upcoming happy event of the Su family. During dinner time, Xia Mei slowly forgot about the sad things that happened during the day.

After dinner, Xia Mei had already calmed down and rushed to clean up and wash the dishes. In the end, it was Old Mrs. Su who smiled and pulled her aside to talk, so she gave up.

After a busy day, they had to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning. After dinner, everyone in the Su family sat in the yard for a while to digest the food, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

After returning to the house, Su He told Xia Mei roughly about their plan to go into the mountains early the next morning. He only asked her to have a good rest tomorrow, stay at home with grandma, and try not to go out.

Xia Mei has a soft personality, and if she meets Li when she goes out, she will probably not get any good results.

Although she had signed a severance agreement with the Xia family, Su He was still a little worried if Xia Mei went out alone.

Hearing that the Su family was going into the mountains, and thinking of the dumplings they were going to eat tonight, Xia Mei vaguely guessed something in her heart.

Although she didn't come into contact with many people and things in her daily life, she was not stupid. She had seen what the Su family was like before. But the dumplings she ate tonight were wrapped in lard.

These are rare even in the Xia family.

It seems that all this should be related to the Su family's plan to go into the mountains tomorrow. However, Su He did not hide such an important matter from her and told her everything openly, which shows his trust in her.

"I'll go into the mountains with you guys tomorrow. I'm sure I can do it. I used to do all the housework at home... at the Xia family."

Xia Mei grabbed Su He's hand and said anxiously, "I'm sure I can help."

As if she was afraid that Su He would not agree, Xia Mei's face turned slightly red and she kept making assurances to Su He.

Su He took off his coat, sat on the bed, turned around, and saw Xia Mei trying to explain to him with an anxious look on her face.

He smiled and comforted her, "Okay, go to bed early. You've been tired all day. You need to get enough rest so that you can go into the mountains together tomorrow."

Su He was afraid that if she didn't respond, Xia Mei would not be able to sleep well tonight, so she had to comfort her first.

After hearing Su He's words, Xia Mei felt relieved. Seeing the sleepiness between Su He's brows, she smiled embarrassedly and quickly lay down.

Maybe it was because she suddenly relaxed, Xia Mei slept very soundly that night, even more relaxed and comfortable than when she was at the Xia family before.

The next morning, when Su He woke up, Xia Mei was no longer by his side.

From time to time, there were some low voices coming from outside the house, but Su He couldn't hear them clearly.

She couldn't sleep at this time, so she got up quickly.

When I walked out of the room, I saw Xia Mei coming out of the kitchen with two bowls of prepared breakfast. When she saw Su He, she quickly greeted him:

"Ah He, you're up. Breakfast is just ready. Auntie told you to sleep a little longer."

After Su He finished washing up, the other members of the Su family had almost gotten up. They were slightly stunned when they saw Xia Mei.

Mrs. Xie quickly explained, "This child, we told her to go back to her room and sleep a little longer, but she refused and made breakfast with us."

Xia Mei felt a little embarrassed. When she was at the Xia family, she got up even earlier than today and did much more work than this. Making breakfast was really nothing to her.

Old Man Su nodded without saying much. After everyone had packed up, they began to eat breakfast. They had to go into the mountains soon, so they couldn't delay any more.

"Meizi, we'll all be out in a while, so you can stay at home and help your grandma take care of the chickens and rabbits in the backyard, and clean up the house."

Old Man Su ate his breakfast while holding the bowl and said, "This will be your home from now on, just be comfortable."

Old Man Su has been farming all his life and is not very good at saying words of comfort to others.

For a little girl like Xia Mei, she must be still frightened by what happened yesterday. She should just rest at home.

"No, no, no...Grandpa Su, Ah He has told me, I will go with you, I'm fine."

Xia Mei put down the bowl in her hand and said anxiously: "I will do all the work and will definitely not hold you back."

As if she was afraid that the Su family would not agree, Xia Mei raised her hand and repeatedly assured, "I am also a member of the Su family, so I should also contribute together."

Su He trusted her so much and told her such an important thing. She kept it in mind. Besides, she and Su Mu were going to get married soon, so naturally she had to contribute to this family like the Su family.

When she said this, she happened to meet Su Mu's gaze. Xia Mei then realized what she had said and lowered her head embarrassedly, not daring to look at the people in the Su family again.

What is she talking about? Even though she is going to get married soon, she is not married yet after all.

It's so embarrassing!

Everyone who reacted couldn't help but smile. Seeing that Xia Mei was embarrassed, they turned their heads to look at Su Mu.

Everyone's gazes made Su Mu feel a little uncomfortable, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.

I had no choice but to lower my head and try hard to scoop up the porridge in the bowl, with my whole face buried in the bowl.

Old Man Su came back to his senses in a daze, looked at Su He, and saw Su He nodded slightly at him. Only then did he agree to go into the mountains with Xia Mei.

If Su He says it's okay, then it's okay.

This girl has a very open mind and can see things and people very clearly. Since she told Xia Mei about going into the mountains, it means there is nothing wrong with it.

Su He didn't think too much about it. After all, Xia Mei was going to marry her eldest brother soon, and they would be a family in the future.

What's more, she roughly knew Xia Mei's character. She was a kind and gentle person.

And this mushroom jam will no longer be a secret in the future, it’s just that others have to be able to recognize what is edible and what is not.
