Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Chapter 246: Jiang Province Snacks (Additional Chapter)

Youcai left quickly this time, but came back very slowly, and with nothing in his hands.

Yaoyao looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you go buy food? Why didn't you buy anything?"

Before Youcai could answer, Jilin looked strange and asked, "Have you finished eating?"

Youcai smiled awkwardly. Seeing that they were all looking at him with condemning eyes, he hurriedly explained, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you to try. They put it in a bowl and wouldn't let me take it away. I had to eat it over there."

Yaoyao suddenly realized and asked him if it was delicious.

"Delicious!" Youcai smacked his lips. If he hadn't eaten before, he would have wanted to try other snacks.

"What did you eat?" Yaoyao was a little curious.

"Giant salamander." Youcai blurted out.

Yaoyao's eyes widened. "The giant salamander is such a precious thing. Is the money Aunt Zhang gave enough?"

Youcai saw that his sister had misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained that this giant salamander was not that giant salamander, but just looked similar. He thought for a while and said, "It should be made of sweet potato flour."

He also recommended other snacks to them, "There are rice noodles and rolled noodles, which are also delicious. But I had already eaten, and these two things were too filling, so I didn't eat them because I was afraid of wasting them."

Several children looked at Zhang Xiuhua eagerly.

Zhang Xiuhua was helpless, "Let's play for a while before going to eat!"

A few children were playing by the lake. When they saw someone fishing, they went over to watch. Unfortunately, after watching for a long time, no one caught any fish.

After just an hour, the children got bored and decided to go eat rice noodles and rolled noodles.

Zhang Xiuhua could only take the children to the door.

Not to mention that she is also from Jiangxi Province, but she was very poor before and had never eaten these snacks.

In addition to rice noodles, giant salamanders, and rolled noodles, there is also cold noodles. The taste of the cold noodles is different from the Shaanxi flavor she had in her previous life.

The children each asked for one and then shared a few.

Because it was a stall, there were no tables or chairs for them to sit on, so they could only eat while standing.

"Mom! Try my rice noodles, they're really delicious." Zhuzhu brought the rice noodles to her like she was presenting a treasure.

Zhang Xiuhua took a bite and found it tasted really good.

Youcai ate while watching the boss seasoning the food and asked him what was in those bottles and jars.

The boss might be afraid that the other party would compete with him, so he didn't answer at all.

Zhang Xiuhua went up to the boss and started a conversation. "I'm from here, but I married to the Northeast. This kid is interested in cooking, so he won't open a store here."

She spent two hundred dollars before the boss agreed to tell her the recipe.

Youcai took a pen to take notes and assured his boss that he would never open a snack stand to compete with him.

People at that time were very simple and honest, so the boss believed what he said.

Fortunately, Youcai will not open a store here, otherwise the boss will have an additional competitor in the future.

After the children finished eating, Zhang Xiuhua took them back to the guesthouse.

It was almost dark when Jidong finally came back.

His eyes seemed red, and Zhang Xiuhua asked him, "How is your mother doing?"

Jidong was silent for a while, then nodded with difficulty. In fact, life was not good at all. His mother was only two years older than his aunt, but she looked like his aunt's mother.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed. What good is such a reluctant answer! Who is she trying to fool? His mother must have told him to say that. She did not expose him. "That is your mother's choice. You can't control it. If you feel guilty, come and see her when you graduate and make money. She is an adult and knows which path is best for her."

Zhang Xiuhua knew that Jidong's mother would die early, but she couldn't save her. Because she wouldn't listen to her and abandon her husband and children. She could only let Jidong see her a few more times so that he wouldn't have any regrets.

Just then, Jilin's stomach growled.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Jidong if he had eaten.

Jidong pursed his lips and said, "She ate a steamed bun. Her family is too poor."

"Have you seen your mom's man?"

Jidong nodded, his tone a little resentful, "He is not good to my mother."

Zhang Xiuhua could imagine it. If she was good, she would not have died so early in her previous life. She died of sheer exhaustion. "Your mother has no income. She can't make money by farming in the countryside. Unless she can get herself together and go to the south to work, otherwise she..."

She didn't say anything else, lest Jidong hear too much good stuff.

Jidong nodded, "I told her secretly. I don't know if she would listen. I also gave her a hundred dollars. I don't know if she would tell her man."

"Your mother is not that stupid. She knows how to save money." Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that he would feel burdened. "Parents and children should keep a certain distance. When they reach a certain age, parents have to let go and let their children go out and grow up. The same is true for children. They can no longer rely on their parents. Respect their choices. Everyone has the right to make their own choices. Your mother did nothing wrong to remarry. You did nothing wrong not to follow her. Since you are both right, don't worry too much."

Jidong forced a smile, "Yes!"

"Come on. Shall we go eat?"

Several children looked at Jidong worriedly. Although they were still children, they could see that Jidong was not in a good mood after seeing his biological mother.

Youcai wanted to comfort him, but he was tongue-tied and could not utter a single consoling word. Yaoyao was introverted by nature. When she was asked to write an essay, she could write it with passion and emotion, and it was touching. When she was asked to comfort others, she thought about it for a long time but still felt it was inappropriate.

Ji Lin was born slow to react, and he was still wondering why Ji Dong was unhappy.

Only Zhuzhu, who is young, cheerful and optimistic, held Jidong's hand like a little adult and reported to him what delicious food they had eaten today, "Rice noodles are especially delicious. Giant salamander is also delicious, and rolled noodles are also very fragrant. By the way, cold noodles are also good."

Jidong was amused by her, "You little foodie, in your eyes, is there anything that is not delicious?"

Zhuzhu laughed happily, "Brother Jidong, do you want to eat these too?"

Jidong shook his head without giving him face, "Let me take you to eat something delicious. I just smelled something delicious in an alley on the way here by bus. Let's go and try it."

When they heard that there was something delicious, everyone immediately became excited and didn't want to comfort Jidong anymore. They were all driven forward by their greed.

Jidong led them for a few hundred meters and they smelled a pungent fragrance.

Zhuzhu and Jilin looked at each other and asked, "Dry pot shrimp?"

Zhang Xiuhua didn't smell it and said, "It should be crayfish."

These Northeastern kids have never eaten crayfish. There are crickets in the Northeast that are similar to crayfish, but they are hard to get. When they were sent to the supply and marketing cooperative, they were divided up by their own people before they were even put on sale.

She has never eaten crayfish in all these years since she married in Northeast China. Of course, she had never eaten it in the past. But she had eaten a lot in her previous life. The taste is really overbearing!

She liked the taste so much that she waved her hand and said, "Let's go! Let's eat six pounds!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Youcai had already rushed over. The other children followed closely behind, and Zhang Xiuhua fell behind last.
