Chapter 21 Fragrant Sweet Potato Porridge
But Sui He heard it but ignored it and didn't explain. If some of them didn't believe it, then she would eat it in front of them. Facts speak louder than words. After they have tasted it, maybe they will fight for it.
Sui He stopped the second grandmother who wanted to argue with him, and asked the second grandfather to set up the pot and cook sweet potato porridge.
While they were arguing, the sweet potato porridge was quickly cooked. She also added some yellow rice to it, and the whole pot of porridge became much thicker.
Sui He ignored the others, picked up the bowl beside him, and scooped a big bowl of sweet potato porridge for Second Grandma and Second Grandpa.
The two old people didn't say anything. They took the porridge, blew on it without saying anything, and started eating. As soon as they put it in their mouths, the second grandmother's eyes lit up, and they looked at each other without saying anything, but just quickened the speed of drinking the porridge.
Sui He watched as grandma and grandpa took the bowl and put it into their mouths without hesitation, with the corners of their mouths curved.
The golden sweet potato porridge, with green vegetable leaves, looks particularly tempting. In this era, having such a bowl of steaming porridge is the happiest thing. The three of them were particularly satisfied with the meal.
Someone secretly swallowed his saliva, thinking that he would also make some sweet potato porridge to try later. It tasted so delicious.
"Village chief, those sweet potatoes are really edible. Let's quickly share the sweet potatoes so that I can try this porridge as soon as possible." The onlookers, who were tempted by the gluttony, turned their heads and looked at their own village chief, their eyes full of desire.
Even Huang Cuihua, who was throwing a tantrum on the ground, stopped and stared at the pot in front of Sui He in amazement. The pot was still boiling. In order to speed up the maturity, Sui He cut the sweet potatoes into small pieces, which were now rolling in the pot with the bubbles.
"Humph, now no one has anything to say, bah..." Sister Youliang glanced at Huang Cuihua on the ground and glared at her fiercely, "I'll see if you still have the nerve to share the sweet potatoes later."
"Why should I be ashamed? Those are given to our village by others. I am a member of the village, so I can share them." Huang Cuihua got up from the ground, stared greedily at the sweet potatoes in the basket, and kept swallowing her saliva.
Hearing this, Sui He, who had no reaction at first, raised his head and looked at Father Lin calmly, then continued to drink sweet potato porridge and ignored the people from Linjia Village.
Receiving Sui He's gaze, Father Lin shuddered inexplicably. On such a hot day, a chill rushed straight from his feet to his head.
There was only one thought in his mind: if this matter was not handled properly, he would definitely regret it in the future.
Father Lin coughed lightly, "Everyone, be quiet!" The noisy crowd immediately looked at the village chief quietly. Sui He paused for a moment while drinking porridge, and then continued to drink porridge as if nothing had happened. If you ignore the two people who were leaning sideways with their ears erect, it was indeed very peaceful.
He looked at Huang Cuihua, "Suihe is willing to share the sweet potatoes with everyone because she is kind-hearted. But this is not a reason for you to throw a tantrum! Since you think this thing is unsafe, then this time the sweet potatoes will not be shared with your family, lest you get sick from eating them and then blame others for it."
Everyone echoed and criticized Huang Cuihua's behavior.
"Why? This thing is found by everyone in the mountains. Whoever finds it in the mountains owns it. Why should it be his?" Huang Cuihua immediately became anxious when she heard that the village chief would not give her family any sweet potatoes. "Village chief, you can't take revenge on personal gain."
"Why? How dare you say that? Brother Chen found these potatoes, and we just took advantage of them. It's already a great deed that he's willing to share them with us. You're not grateful, and you're even suspicious of him." Sister Youliang pushed Huang Cuihua away from the basket and said, "Besides, you said whoever found it belongs to him. Then these things were found by us, and we don't agree to give them to you."
"That's right," the other aunts also spoke up.
"You, you, you, Aunt Youliang, we are from the same village, why are you siding with outsiders?" Huang Cuihua, who was pushed away, looked at Aunt Youliang in shock.
"Bah, now you know we are from the same village? Why didn't you think about the fact that we are from the same village when you did those bad things before?" Thinking of the past, Sister Liang stared at Huang Cuihua angrily.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Why are you so excited?" Being stared at by such eyes, Huang Cuihua's tone instantly became quiet, and her tone was also weak.
Father Lin continued, "Okay, it's decided. Now we start distributing the sweet potatoes. There aren't many sweet potatoes, so we'll divide them among the families. Each family will get some. These sweet potatoes were brought back by the grain-producing families, so we'll give them an extra sweet potato and a handful of leaves."
When Youliangsao and the others heard this, they were also very excited. After all, they could get one more sweet potato, and if they were frugal, they could have two meals. The villagers lined up excitedly to receive the sweet potatoes. Suihe curled the corners of his lips and continued to drink the sweet potato porridge in the bowl. It was so sweet.
"Village chief, you see, this was done by Huang Cuihua, it has nothing to do with me, can you give me a portion of the sweet potato..." Lin Wu, who had been playing invisible man beside him, finally spoke at this time.
"I just said, yours is gone" the village chief said without turning his head
"But he did it, I didn't do it." Lin Wu was unwilling to give up.
"She is your wife..."
"But village chief, you see, food is in short supply now, and our family is almost out of food. Please be flexible." Lin Wu still did not give up and continued to speak.
"You want it? That's not possible. What if it's poisonous? For the sake of your lives, you'd better not eat it. I'll eat the poisonous one. I'm not afraid." The villager standing behind Lin Wu stepped forward and pushed him out, happily took his portion, sniffed it under his nose with intoxication, smiled triumphantly at Lin Wu, and turned back to prepare to boil water.
"Village Chief" Lin Wu wanted to say something, but Old Man Lin waved his hand to indicate that the matter was not negotiable.
Seeing this, Lin Wu did not dare to say anything. Although they were fleeing famine, the authority of the village chief was still there. He could only turn around and walk towards his wife.
"Boss, we don't want it. Only they treasure that kind of thing..." Seeing Lin Wu coming, Huang Cuihua hurried to meet him, but she didn't see Lin Wu's impatient eyes, and she kept talking to herself.
"Shut up, don't you think you have enough things to do? Don't you know how much food is left at home? You do nothing all day long, but always find trouble for me."
"Don't think I didn't see you like that just now. Your husband isn't dead yet, and you're thinking of finding another husband so soon? Look at what you look like, who the hell would be blind enough to fall for you?"
Although Lin Wu disliked Huang Cuihua in the past, he at least took into consideration that she was his wife and was willing to give him some respect. He himself was not a good person, so why should he ask Huang Cuihua to be a good person? But today, Lin Wu felt that there was a little color on his head. No man could stand having color on his head.
Lin Wu, who had not been home for many years, would never have thought that Huang Cuihua would be like that. He had always thought that his wife just had a bad reputation in the village. Unexpectedly, he was really angry.
"Boss, I'm just, I'm just doing this for the good of this family." Seeing Lin Wu's dark face, she finally reacted. Lin Wu didn't come home often on weekdays, and she was used to being at ease. She didn't pay attention today, but it was too late to regret it now. She could only think of a way to save it.
