It was dark when Su Chen carried little Ayun home.

Su Xiaoyan, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan all left. Liu Chunhua leaned dejectedly on the back of the chair with a bitter face.

"Mom? What's wrong with you?"

Liu Chunhua glared at him unhappily.

Old Man Su: "She thinks city people are unreliable and doesn't dare to make friends with them."

"Go eat your meal," Liu Chunhua suddenly perked up. "I don't dare? I'm much braver than you."

Seeing this, Su Xiaozhu placed the rice in front of Liu Chunhua and Su Chen and smiled: "Yes, Mom is amazing."

“Humph, if I’m not as good as you, then I’m not as good as this old man?”

As she said that, she picked up the chopsticks and quickly picked up the chicken feet that Old Man Su liked. She didn't eat it, but turned around and put it in the bowl of her beloved grandson Apeng.

Old Man Su glanced at her helplessly and continued to pick up the braised pork.

As expected, it was snatched away again, this time into Ash's bowl.

Old Man Su sighed: "How old are you?"

"What do you care about me? You are not allowed to eat these anyway. They belong to the child."

Old Man Su was also in a good mood: "Okay, okay, it's okay for me to eat the radish, right?"

After this commotion, Liu Chunhua felt much better.

She took a few mouthfuls of rice and said, "Ah Chen, if you are free tomorrow, please take me back to the village."

"what happened?"

"What else is going on? Xiaoxianer hasn't come yet. He must have gotten lost. I thought if he really can't find our house, I'll take the food back and put it in the old house so that Xiaoxianer can have some."

Su Chen: "..."

"Mom, I also have to go back to the village tomorrow to help move the graves." He looked at Old Man Su and said, "Dad, do you want to go back?"

"Why would he go back? Who would take the kids to and from school?"

"Xiaozhu and the others have to go to work tomorrow. Who will cook for the children?"

Old Man Su: “???”

“But I have to set up a stall tomorrow!”

"Then don't do it yet. Wait until I come back."

Old Man Su: “…”

He sighed deeply, and suddenly looked at Qiyue and Ah Hao who were also sitting at the table but not picking up chopsticks, and his eyes lit up.

"Qiyue, you've been learning to cook for so many days. Do you know how to cook? How about trying it tomorrow?"

Liu Chunhua was stunned and looked at Su Xiaozhu.

Although she has been teaching these days, July still learns from Su Xiaozhu most of the time.

Su Xiaozhu chuckled twice and scratched her head: "I, I didn't let Qiyue try it."

Liu Chunhua immediately made the decision: "Let's try it later."

"Oh well, you too."

After dinner, when Liu Chunhua, Su Xiaozhu, July and Ahao were busy in the kitchen, guests came to the villa.

It’s Zhang Wenyi.

Because of the formation, he entered the iron gate, walked around and arrived at the door again.

Just when I was feeling confused and depressed, Su Chen came out.

"Is something wrong?"

Zhang Wenyi quickly handed the chestnut cake to Su Chen.

This pastry was bought by Old Zhang after he closed his stall and went home. He heard that Zhang Wenyi wanted to thank Su Chen, so he took him to a time-honored store to buy it.

"Master, this time I really, really thank you."

"If it weren't for you, not only would my senior sister's research results be leaked, but the entire institute would be in jeopardy."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows: "Caught them off guard?"

"Yes, it just so happened that our core researchers had all arrived in Cuicheng, so the spy took action. Fortunately, he was intercepted at the gate."

After saying that, Zhang Wenyi straightened up suddenly and bowed solemnly to Su Chen: "Thank you, Master!"

Su Chen was amused by his action.

"You're the one who should be thanking me."

"If you hadn't been so concerned about your colleague's health, you wouldn't have discovered it by chance."

Su Chen held the cake to his nose and sniffed it: "It smells good. I wonder if Uncle Zhang likes it..."

"I don't know either. I..." Zhang Wenyi paused and slapped his forehead. "Master, I know. Goodbye, Master!"

As a product of a time-honored brand, the chestnut cake received unanimous praise from the elderly and children. Liu Chunhua even asked about the price.

"If this big bag costs 5 dollars, I'll buy it every week... no, every month."

Five dollars, which was less than what Liu Chunhua spent in a month when she was in charge last year.

But now he is despised by Old Man Su.

"A big bag only has ten cakes, which is one cent. It's not even enough to fill a gap in my teeth."

"What? You still want to eat all you can eat something this expensive?" Liu Chunhua squinted. "Who said we have to share it? I have to save a few pieces for my mom."

Su Chen: "..."

"Mom, let me buy it."

It is unlikely that people who have been frugal all their lives would spend so much money on snacks all at once.

But he cannot treat his parents and children unfairly.

Liu Chunhua: "No need, Mom has money."

Old Man Su nodded: "Yes, let your mother go out for a walk, so that she won't keep nagging me."

"Then... let's do it."

He turned around and asked Qiyue and Ah Hao how their cooking went.

When asked this question, Qiyue and Ah Hao lowered their heads in shame.

Liu Chunhua waved her hand: "Don't worry, it's edible."

Su Xiaozhu coughed lightly a few times and said, "Dad, we have so much food left. Tomorrow we just need to cook some rice and heat up some vegetables. I'll cook a few more dishes when I get home from get off work tonight."

"Why are you cooking? Let Qiyue and Ah Hao do it. How can it be delicious without more practice?"

"If it's not cooked well, let the old man eat it. He has a good appetite anyway."

Old Man Su: “???!!!”

Meeting Liu Chunhua's gaze, he nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll eat it."

Su Chen reminded: "Dad may not be able to finish it."

"If you can't finish it in one meal, eat three. If you can't finish it in three days, eat it in seven."

"If it goes bad, feed it to the chickens."

Su Chen: "..."

Not only him, Su Xiaozhu also looked at Old Man Su with sympathy. At the same time, she secretly made up her mind to go back and help her father eat something.

The next day, in order to avoid causing trouble for Old Man Su, Su Chen took an extra trip to the Ghost Road and brought Acai Yueyue and little Ayun with him.

When they arrived at the old house, they saw Ah Sheng and Ah Hui living there. The room was quite clean, and Liu Chunhua nodded.

He simply turned to the dusty shrine and sighed, "How long has it been since I burned incense?"

After mumbling to herself, she cleaned the shrine and placed all the food she had brought on the altar. Liu Chunhua clapped her hands and said, "Ah Hui, look after your brothers and sisters. I'll get a bag and go to your house to pick some vegetables to bring back."

Su Chen reminded: "Do you want to tell your eldest and fourth sisters-in-law?"

"What's there to say? Isn't your eldest sister-in-law working to earn money? Isn't your fourth sister-in-law in town?"

Su Chen had no choice but to let her go and went to find Hu Shiliang with little Ayun in his arms.

At that time, Hu Shiliang was in the village committee, blowing away the hot steam from a porcelain cup. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and smiled.

"Achen, you're here? I thought you were so busy that you might have forgotten about moving the graves. I was just thinking about giving you a call."

Su Chen sat down: "My memory is indeed a bit bad. I only remembered it yesterday when my mother said she was going back to the village."

"Uncle Liang, you can call us if you need to. Don't be afraid of disturbing us. You can chat with my mom and the others if you have nothing to do."

"By the way, are everything ready?"

Hu Shiliang nodded repeatedly.

"It's ready, it's ready, the pit is dug."

"Then let's go when the time is auspicious."

"Hey, okay."

Hu Shiliang poured a cup of hot water for Su Chen and was about to chat with him when he heard hurried footsteps outside.

Soon a young man rushed in.

"Uncle Liang, Uncle Liang, we found a snake. A big one!"

He gestured: "It's this thick!"
