The fragrance of cold thorn sprouts made Su Jiao never forget it until she finished her nap.

Su Jiao was a little unsatisfied and wanted to eat more at night, but Ye Yao brought back not many thorn buds and had already eaten them all at noon.

As a result, when this person was lucky, someone would give him a pillow when he fell asleep. At about five o'clock in the evening, Su's mother was making dumplings on the kang, and Su Jiao was teaching Ye Yao to recite poems.

Su Caixia came with half a basket of wild vegetables. There were many thorny buds in the wild vegetables.

Su Jiao's eyes lit up when she saw the thorn buds.

Su Caixia saw Su Jiao staring at the wild vegetables in the basket and said amusedly: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? Why are you so happy to see the wild vegetables?"

"I made some cold thorn sprouts for lunch. Jiaojiao liked it and wanted to eat it at night, but I didn't have it at home. I didn't expect you to send so much at once. She wouldn't be happy."

Mother Su, who was making dumplings on the kang, kept making dumplings on her hands and explained with a smile.

"Jiaojiao likes to eat thorn buds, so I'll pick some and bring them over tomorrow. It just so happens that there are still a lot of thorn buds on the thorn bud trees where I dug wild vegetables today that haven't been picked yet," Su Caixia said.

"No, Sister Caixia, you are very tired at work. Just take a good rest after work." Su Jiao quickly waved her hand and refused.

Su Caixia had already sent half a basket. How could Su Jiao have the nerve to let people go out to pick it for her?

"You're welcome. I was going to dig wild vegetables tomorrow. It's just a matter of convenience." Su Caixia continued without giving Su Jiao a chance to refuse.

The two chatted politely for a few more words, and Su Caixia poured the wild vegetables in the basket onto the kitchen floor and prepared to go home.

Mother Su's dumplings are almost ready. It would be annoying to leave food at someone else's house.

Su Jiao still had something to say, so naturally she couldn't let her go, so she quickly persuaded her to stay, forcing Ye Yao to Su Caixia and letting her play with Su Caixia to delay the time.

No one could refuse the cute Zaizai's invitation to play, and soon Su Caixia was sitting on the edge of the kang, hugging Ye Yao, and started laughing and playing.

"Mom, I made a lot of dumplings tonight. How about we cook a bowl of dumplings for Sister Caixia first? I feel like Sister Caixia has lost a lot of weight." Su Jiao took advantage of Su Caixia not paying attention and whispered to her mother Su said.

Su Jiao estimated that Su Caixia's current weight may not even be 80 kilograms. The words "sallow complexion and skinny" describe Su Caixia now.

It was clear that Su Caixia was not so thin when she returned to the village with Mrs. Su and the others in March.

In the past two months since she came back, Su Caixia has lost weight visibly after going to work and doing housework every day, not having enough to eat, and having two top kids at home who are making a lot of noise every day.

"Okay, we've just finished making the dumplings. Mom will go down and cook them right now. You can chat with her and keep her for a while." Mother Su glanced at the skinny Su Caixia with some distress, left a few words in a low voice, and then took the plate filled with The dumpling cover went to the kitchen.

"Sister Caixia, I have heard about what happened between you and grandma and second aunt last night. Congratulations on finally taking the first step to be yourself. What are your plans in the future?"

Su Jiao originally wanted to find time to chat with Su Caixia, but now that she had this opportunity, Su Jiao spoke up.

Su Caixia was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Su Jiao to ask her so straightforwardly.

Seeing that the two of them had something to talk about, Ye Yao obediently got up from Su Caixia's arms, sat on the corner of the bed and recited poems by herself.

After thinking carefully about Su Jiao's question for a long time, Su Caixia said seriously: "I want to live a good life in the future, and I will not let my grandma and my mother influence me anymore.

Growing up, I would always get beaten every time I disobeyed them. Over time, this fear has taken root in my heart, always making me forget that I have grown up and no longer need to be afraid of them. .

After what happened yesterday, I suddenly found that I didn’t seem so scared anymore, and they didn’t seem as scary as I thought before. From now on, I just want to be myself. "

The more Su Caixia spoke, the more determined she became, and she finally found her way forward, her eyes filled with hope.

"Sister Caixia, our biggest fear is in our hearts. As long as you muster up the courage to defeat yourself, you will find that the things you were originally afraid of are just paper tigers.

Now in New China, men and women are equal, and women can hold up half of the sky. We are no worse than men, and we can live well on our own without relying on anyone.

We don't live for others, the most important thing is that we live happily. "

Su Jiao smiled and held Su Caixia's hand to encourage her.

Seeing that Su Caixia had made a decision in her heart, she felt happy for Su Caixia from the bottom of her heart.

"Yeah," Su Caixia firmly returned her hand and nodded firmly.

Su Jiao's words gave her great encouragement.

The two chatted for a while, and then Mother Su came over with a large bowl of dumplings.

"Caixia, please try the dumplings made by auntie." Mother Su put the bowl on the kang and put the chopsticks into Su Caixia's hand.

Su Caixia, who was sitting on the edge of the kang, stood up quickly, put her chopsticks on the kang, and declined: "Auntie, I don't want to eat. It's getting late. I'm going back to cook. I'll save the dumplings for you." Eat."

"Why are you so anxious about cooking? How can your mother and grandma starve themselves? It's not too late to go back after eating. Don't be polite to me. Good boy, eat quickly." Mother Su said lovingly.

"Sister Caixia, please don't be polite and eat more. Look at how thin you have been recently. You are almost skin and bones. You need to take good care of yourself. If you are still polite, don't send thorn buds to me tomorrow. .”

Su Jiao picked up the chopsticks and stuffed them back into Su Caixia's hands.

Su Caixia couldn't help but blush. Sure enough, after all these years, only Su's father and mother's family still cared about her.

Su Caixia was no longer polite, tremblingly picked up a dumpling and ate it.

"It's so delicious! Auntie's cooking is still so good." Su Caixia said with some choking.

Ye Yao, who was reciting poems in the corner of the kang, saw Su Caixia's eyes turned red and quickly moved to the edge of the kang to blow gently on the bowl of dumplings.

"Sister Caixia, why are you crying? Are the dumplings hot? I'll help you blow them, and they won't be too hot if you blow them."

After hearing Ye Yao's words, Su Caixia's tears that were originally in her eyes suddenly flowed down uncontrollably.

Su's mother quickly held Su Caixia in her arms, caressing her back and comforting her: "Good boy, I have been wronged for so many years. Cry, cry out, and you will get better and better in the future."

Su Caixia lay in her mother's arms and cried loudly, as if she wanted to vent all her years of grievances and fears.

After a long time, her mood finally stabilized. Su Caixia felt a little embarrassed. She just cried like that in front of her two sisters and felt a little embarrassed.

Su Jiao saw what Su Caixia was thinking and made a few jokes to end the matter.

After eating a bowl of delicious dumplings, receiving care from her relatives, venting the accumulated grievances in her heart, and clarifying the way forward, Su Caixia went home briskly.

Ye Mingyuan returned home around seven o'clock as usual, and the family had a lively meal of dumplings.

Su's mother also had dinner at Ye's house, and was forced to stay by Su Jiao.

After dinner, Su Jiao asked Su's mother to bring a plate of dumplings to Su's father.

After sending Su's mother away, Su Jiao asked Ye Mingyuan to take the two plates of dumplings he had reserved in advance and send them to the cowshed.

Chen Shuting dug the wild vegetables for making dumplings, so of course she would reciprocate.
