Chapter 31 Start a small stove
Su Li didn't say much else, and Su Xiangsheng tacitly refrained from asking further questions.
No matter what his sister said, he would do as she instructed.
He believes in his sister!
More than a month later, Su Qingfeng's leg had improved a lot and he was able to get out of bed with crutches. The autumn harvest was finally coming to an end.
The Su family went to the fields to harvest rice. He leaned on his cane and slowly moved to the backyard, found a shady spot in the corner, and started shelling corn kernels.
Su Qingfeng was a diligent person by nature. Although he was recuperating from an illness, lying in bed for a whole month did make him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Everyone in the family is busy with the autumn harvest. How can a grown man like him just stay at home all day doing nothing?
But after a short while, he heard a rustling sound coming from the front yard. When he looked up, he saw Old Madam Su leading Su Qingtian in furtively.
Grandma Su gave Su Qingtian a wink, signaling him to keep his voice down. After looking around and seeing that no one was home, she confidently went into the kitchen.
Soon, wisps of smoke rose from the chimney, the fire in the stove burned brightly, and the oil in the pot sizzled.
"Second son, go rest over there. I don't need your help here. Just sit there quietly."
Grandma Su took out flour and eggs from the locked cupboard, which she rarely ate, and skillfully started making flour pancakes. The pancakes gradually turned golden and crispy under the oil, and the aroma of eggs wafted out.
As she worked, Grandma Su muttered to herself, "Son, look how thin you've become. The autumn harvest must have worn you out. It really pains me to see you like this. We need to make sure you get some nourishment."
The dough was rolled very thin, and it was cooked through after being flipped twice in the pan.
Grandma Su mysteriously pulled a jar from the corner of the cupboard and said with a smile:
"This is the two jin of white sugar that Qingxiang bought when she came home to see your father last time. I know you've loved sweets since you were little, so I specially saved some for you. It's the best for dipping these egg pancakes!"
She pulled her second son aside, handed him a steaming egg and white pancake, and whispered, "..."
"Eat quickly, and then go out. Don't let anyone else smell the smell, especially the fourth brother's family. Don't cause any trouble!"
"Mom, I knew you loved me the most. Don't worry, Fourth Brother is probably still in bed..."
Su Qingfeng, sitting in the corner, paused involuntarily, a wave of sorrow welling up in his heart.
It turned out that Mother rushed home so hastily to give Second Brother a special meal. Judging from how familiar the two of them were with the place, this must have been the first time.
In retrospect, I realize I was being rather tactless. If it weren't for the fact that I was still inside, my mother and second brother wouldn't have been so cautious...
However, he quickly suppressed this sadness.
I was bedridden during this time and couldn't really help with the autumn harvest. My second brother did his share of the work, which was really tiring.
Su Qingfeng raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and silently told himself that his mother might have her reasons.
Besides, my mother gave birth to me and raised me, which is already a great kindness. Now that she is old, I shouldn't be so concerned about these things. As long as my mother is happy, that's all that matters.
He took a deep breath, and his hands resumed their normal corn-kerneling motion...
On the bank of the village's stream, a round-faced little boy, like a happy little rabbit, hopped and skipped toward Su Xiangsheng, who was holding a bamboo pole and herding ducks on the bank.
"Brother Sheng! Brother Sheng!" he shouted as he ran, "Your grandma is giving your second uncle special treatment, I saw it!"
He jogged all the way to Su Xiangsheng, then stopped excitedly, his eyes sparkling, and began to chatter on and on:
"They made egg pancakes. There was so much oil in the pan. I could smell the aroma from far away. It smelled so good that it made my stomach rumble!"
"Your grandma even took out a small jar from the cupboard and told your second uncle to dip it in. It was all white and I couldn't see it clearly, but it was definitely white sugar. I saw your second uncle eating it with great gusto, one bite after another..."
"By the way, your dad was husking corn in the backyard at the time, so he must have seen it too, but why didn't he say anything?"
The little boy scratched his head in confusion. If it were him, he would definitely go up and eat a few pieces of bread!
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangsheng was slightly taken aback, almost dropping the bamboo pole in his hand. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his composure, though a complex emotion, barely perceptible, lingered in his eyes.
He composed himself, took a deep breath, and turned to look at the little boy with gratitude: "Golden Egg, you did a good job. I knew you had the best eyesight. Keep watching for me."
As he spoke, he took out a handful of candy from his pocket and handed it over.
Jin Dan took the candy, his face beaming with joy. Although his family never lacked candy, this was a reward from Brother Sheng for his mission, unlike the candy he got from his grandparents by begging.
"Brother Sheng, don't worry, leave everything to me, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Su Xiangsheng watched the golden egg's departing figure, sighed softly, and felt a mix of emotions.
He understood that even if his father didn't say anything, it would be a lie to say he wasn't heartbroken.
Grandma has always favored my second uncle, but I never expected her to secretly give him special treatment. It's outrageous!
As night fell over the village, Su Xiangsheng quietly knocked on Su Li's door and told his sister everything that had happened during the day.
Su Li listened quietly, her face calm as still water, but her slightly clenched hands betrayed her inner emotions.
My father, being blindly filial, always kept everything bottled up inside, deceiving himself and thinking that by pretending not to know anything, the family would live in harmony.
Little did they know that such repeated concessions would not only make them feel wronged, but also cause all four branches of the family to suffer losses.
"Asheng, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Su Li gently comforted her younger brother, her eyes sparkling, her mind already made up.
The next morning, Su Li took a stroll around the village and easily bought some flour and eggs. She then went to the village's oil press and bought a full jug of peanut oil.
After Zhou prepared lunch and took the basket to deliver it to the fields, she immediately went into the kitchen to get busy.
Mix the dough, crack the eggs, pour in the oil, and cook the pancakes. Before long, two batches of fragrant egg pancakes are ready.
Su Li carefully wrapped the cakes and handed them to Su Xiangsheng: "Take them to Dad. Tell him that true family will remember him and that he doesn't need to be disheartened by those unworthy people."
Su Xiangsheng nodded vigorously, then hurriedly walked towards the west room with the pancakes in his arms...
On the other side, Su Li's hands didn't stop making pancakes.
The golden-brown pancakes came out of the pan one by one, and soon piled up into a small mountain.
