Chapter 4 Su A Nai: I don’t have it, I don’t know, it’s not me

Before the two of them reached the door of their home, they saw a figure by the door from a distance, looking around.

"Is Xiaoqing back?"

She raised a hand to her eyebrows and kept looking.

Su A'nai often does embroidery, and as she is old, her eyesight is no longer good.

At this time, I couldn't see clearly, I just saw two vague figures over there.

"Grandma, it's me!"

Su Ziling made a sound, she jogged a few steps, went over to support Mrs. Su, "Grandma, why are you out?"

Mrs. Su looked her over first and saw that she was okay, then nodded her head, "You girl, you ran out without saying a word. My eyes are so blurred that I can't see people clearly from a distance." , tell me, if something happens to you, where will grandma find you?"

Grandma Su is fifty-five years old this year. She has gray hair but a straight spine. Unlike those grandmas who are bent down by life.

Su A'nai loves to be clean, her hair is neatly combed, every strand of hair is in its proper place, and her clothes are washed white, with the fragrance of soap locust.

"I was wrong, grandma, I will stop running around next time." Su Ziling admitted her mistake obediently.

Grandma Su sighed and touched her head, "If you don't want to embroider, then don't embroider."

As soon as she said these words, Su Ziling was stunned for a moment. She looked up at her, her eyes full of surprise, "Grandma?"

Su A'nai scratched her nose and said with a smile: "You were raised by A'nai. What do you think you can hide from me?"

"My grandma is wise and has a keen eye. As expected, I can't hide anything from you!"

"Okay, okay, stop flattering!" Su A'nai laughed and scolded: "If you don't want to learn, just don't learn. I don't have to let you learn, but the world is difficult nowadays, and women must have the skills to accompany them. This way I can straighten my back even when I go to my husband’s house.”

"Then grandma, you still..."

Su A'nai touched her head lovingly, "Why do I still agree that you don't need to study anymore?"

Su Ziling nodded.

"This book is not a good thing. If you embroider too much, it will be bad for your eyes and your body. Since you don't want to learn it, then don't learn it. Grandma thought, if you learn it, then What should you do if your family keeps oppressing you and treating you as a tool to make money? After thinking about it, I still feel that I need to teach you some ways to behave in the world. Only when you stand up for yourself can others not bully you. "

"Grandma, you are so kind!" Su Ziling hugged her arm and smiled.

"Don't come here," Su A'nai glared at her, "Do you think I didn't see those two things in your room?"

Su Ziling paused, and the smile froze on her face.

She said in a small voice, "Grandma, have you seen everything?"

She lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake.

"I saw it..." Before Su A'nai could finish her words, she was interrupted by Su's mother. She explained: "Mom, Qing'er embroidered like that mainly because she fell down and didn't know she was injured. No matter where, I can’t hold the needle now, my hands are shaking so much.”

Su Ziling looked back at Mother Su, her eyes full of surprise, "!!!"

His face was written all over: How come you also know?

Mother Su nodded invisibly and comforted her.

Hearing what Su's mother said, Su A'nai frowned, "Is it so serious?"

She took Su Ziling's hand and looked at it carefully. There was nothing unusual about it.

Su Ziling touched her nose and said, "I don't know what's going on. I'm fine with other things. I just tremble violently when I touch the needle."

Su A'nai had lived in a wealthy family after all, "It doesn't matter. If you can't take it, just don't take it. It's not a big deal. If you can't take it, we won't embroider it. Our young children are so smart, it doesn't matter whether we can or not."

She smiled kindly, and every wrinkle on her face revealed kindness.

Su Ziling: Ah Nai’s filter is a bit thick!

Mother Su followed the two of them, and when she heard Su A'nai's words, she smiled and shook her head, "Mom, just pamper her, you will see how much you pamper her, she will be lawless."

"You're spoiled, I'm happy too!" Su A'nai was a little willful, "Your father and the others haven't come back yet?"

Mother Su slapped her forehead, "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot about it. I still have to deliver food to dad and the others."

"I've warmed the rice in the pot and can deliver it directly. Mom, are you going to eat at home or go to the fields with grandpa and the others?" Su Ziling supported Su A'nai, and the three of them walked to the kitchen together.

The Su family's house can be said to be the best in the village. It is strong and spacious. There are three main rooms plus the living room. Mr. Su and Grandma Su live on the left, and the uncle and the others live on the right.

Then the east wing was given to the second eldest son, Su Dongqing, that is, Su Ziling's family, and the west wing was occupied by the third uncle's family.

Later, the eldest and his wife disappeared, and the old man asked the clan leader to expel them from the family tree, leaving an empty room in the main house.

The free room is now given to Su Zimu and Su Zizhong, Su Ziling lives in a separate room, and Su Ziqin sleeps with his third aunt when he is young.

The kitchen was at the end of the west wing. As soon as she reached the door of the kitchen, Su Ziling saw the basket of chicken grass placed by the door.

Her eyes lit up and she pointed at the basket of chicken grass on her back, "Mom, you cut all this?"

Her eyes were frighteningly bright, and Mother Su nodded, "Yes, she carried it back to feed the chickens..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Su Ziling, "Feed the chicken!!!"

She raised her voice slightly, her tone full of disbelief.

Mother Su didn't know what she wanted to do, so she just nodded numbly.

Su Ziling grinded her teeth and muttered: "What a waste of natural resources! What a waste of natural resources! This is purslane, and you feed it to chickens like this!"

Thinking of the bitter wild vegetables in the pot, her face became even more ugly. Isn't purslane delicious? Why eat those unpalatable ones?

During the days when she was sick, she still ate sweet potato and millet porridge. She drank it for three days in a row. She even complained at that time, and she almost felt like a bird in her mouth.

As a result, the next few days became even more difficult. The sweet potatoes and corn were mushy every day, and the vegetables were either wild vegetables or pickles. Of course, there was no possibility of oil or water.

When Su Ziling saw those green wild vegetables, her mouth felt bitter, but she couldn't help but eat them.

Seeing Su Ziling pinching the tender tip, Su's mother still had doubts on her face, "Qing'er, don't be in a hurry to feed the chicken, let's eat first!"

Su Ziling's words were astonishing, "Mom, this is not for feeding the chickens. I will use some for salad."

"Is this... edible?" Mother Su was thinking, maybe the child is starving, right?

"Yes, it's delicious. Just wait and eat it!" The purslane that Su Mu cut was very tender and neatly cut. She picked it up relatively quickly, and she picked enough in just a moment.

"Who did you listen to?" Mother Su was still worried.

"My grandma, hasn't she stayed in a wealthy family? She's eaten before!" Su Ziling said without changing her expression.

Su A'nai, who was waiting for dinner in the room, heard Su Ziling mention her. She raised her head and was confused.

"???"

When did she say that?

Why didn't she know?

Su Ziling blinked at her, not sure if she saw clearly.

Mother Su naturally noticed her, "Mom, this is really delicious..." Why haven't I heard you mention it before?

As soon as Su's mother said "mother", Su's mother retracted her head with a "whoosh", not giving Su's mother a chance to speak.

She sat down at the table solemnly, muttering, "Don't ask me, don't ask me, I don't even know that I know."

Seeing her neat movements, Su Ziling raised her eyebrows and laughed out loud.

Somehow, a sentence came to mind: The other party withdrew a little old lady!

Mother Su was also stunned with shock. She looked at the position where Su A'nai had appeared just now, and then at Su Ziling, "Are you sure your A'nai told you? Why do I feel like she doesn't know?"

Su Ziling was silent, "If you think about it, grandma, if chickens can be eaten, we humans can certainly eat them too. Besides, grandma did say it, but she just forgot."

When her voice fell, Su A'nai's voice sounded from the room. Her voice was very small and soft, but she couldn't bear the fact that Su Ziling was so close to her, "I didn't, it wasn't me, I didn't know!"

Su Ziling: "..."

Mother Su: "Mom, what are you mumbling about?"

Su Ziling said without changing her expression: "Grandma said she was hungry, so let's hurry up."

"Mom, please light a fire for me and add a ladle of water to the pot." Su Ziling stood by the well washing vegetables.

This well is probably the place she is most satisfied with. It is very convenient to get water, unlike other houses where you have to carry water.

She washed it very carefully. The purslane and sumac were cut near the water. They are very tender, but they are also very difficult to wash. The locusts and insects in the water often cling to the leaves.

Purslane is a Chinese herbal medicine that has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and stopping dysentery.

And it can be eaten in a variety of ways. It can be used to scramble eggs, make soup, make cakes, steam eggs, make buns, dumplings or serve as a salad.

Fresh purslane has a sour taste, so it needs to be blanched in water before being served cold.

Add a little salt to the water so that the purslane won't change color. Blanch it in the water, pick it up, drain it in cold water and drain it.

No chili oil, but…

She looked at the few chili peppers hanging by the door, and the corners of her mouth curled up, this would be fine too!

She roasted the peppers in the stove pit, roasted them into peppers, crushed them into pieces and put them into the purslane, added some minced garlic, a little salt, and stirred it.

"Is that okay?" Looking at the colorful side dishes, Su's mother swallowed her saliva unconsciously.

"That's right." Su Ziling took out her and Su's share of the milk, packed up the rest and took it to the fields for Su's mother to eat.

She pinched a little and tasted it herself. She narrowed her eyes slightly and showed a satisfied smile. This is what it tastes like!

Seeing Su's mother looking at her eagerly, Su Ziling pursed her lips and smiled, put a little of it to Su's mouth, with a smile on her eyes and eyebrows, "Mom, try it?"

Mother Su: "..."

Looking at the smile on her face, I felt inexplicably scary.

Somehow something suddenly appeared in my mind: I always feel like you are testing poison on me! idea

In the end she couldn't hold it back and ate it.

It is crispy and tender in the mouth, sour and refreshing, and it also has a little sour taste. In this hot summer, eating it is the most appetizing.
