"Grandma, these roasted chestnuts are delicious. You can have some too."

Su He looked at the old lady who was as kind as her own grandmother and was very skilled in coaxing her.

"Grandma has already eaten them. These are all for you to eat. Don't give them to them. They don't want them."

Wang Bin, Miao Miao, Mu Tou:........

When Wang Daming and his son packed up their things and came in, they discovered a strange scene: his old wife (mother) on the kang kept urging Hehua to eat snacks, while the rest of the people just stood there watching helplessly, unable to eat, nor to leave.

It’s such a sin!

"Mom, what are you doing? Lotus is almost choking."

Su He: Grandma’s love has reached my throat.

Wang Fugui naturally knew his mother's knot. His sister died of grief and malnutrition during childbirth. As his mother's family was not strong enough, not only could they not seek justice for his sister, but they also failed to take good care of his sister's children.

It is indeed useless to them.

"Yuchun, Hehua and the others won't leave anymore, so you can watch over them every day. Don't worry."

Wang Daming did not criticize his wife's behavior, but only advised her in a calm tone.

"Yes, I won't leave, Lotus. You will sleep with grandma from now on."

When Sun heard that she would not leave, she danced with joy and held Hehua's hand and gave her serious instructions.

Su Miao, Su Che: Were they picked up?

The scene was awkward for a while, but fortunately Zhou came at this time.

"Come on, Lotus, Miaomiao, and Mu Tou. You must be hungry. It's time to eat some noodles."

Zhou brought a tray with three bowls of noodles on it.

Su He silently looked at the noodles in the bowl. They were thick and chewy hand-rolled noodles with a poached egg on top. This bowl of noodles should be a luxury for the Wang family. Maybe they can only eat it once during the Chinese New Year.

When the Wang family came to pick them up, she noticed that they were all dressed very simply, even more shabby than the Su family, and it was obvious that their family was not as well off as the Su family. It seemed that the mule and cart might not be their own, but might be borrowed.

The little boy who came in with Zhou should be Zhou's grandson Wang Ruiheng, who was about the same age as Mu Tou and also skinny and small. He was obviously very greedy and kept swallowing his saliva behind Zhou. But he was very well behaved and didn't cry or make a fuss.

"Grandpa, my uncle and cousin must be hungry too, what do you want to eat?"

Su He gestured to his younger brothers and sisters to eat first, then turned around and asked the elders who had been looking at them with a smile.

"There's still some in the pot. There's not much space here, so we can eat in the kitchen later."

Wang Daming quickly replied, fearing that Su He would feel embarrassed to eat.

"Sister, eat it. My mother's cooking skills are very good. You will know after you eat it."

While trying to persuade him, Wang Bin picked up his son with a silly smile on his face. It was obvious that the father and son had a very good relationship.

Su He thought about it and ate the fried egg first.

Seeing Su He move his mouth, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bao, eat more. There's more in the pot."

Sun looked at Su He seriously, as if as long as Su He said it was not enough, she would immediately serve him another bowl.

"Grandma, I've had enough. Grandpa, you guys should go eat quickly. This noodle won't taste good if it gets cold."

Su He has been used to being independent since she was a child. She only has a grandmother at home, and she has never had the experience of being watched and cared for by a group of people, so she is quite uncomfortable with it.

Wang Daming left with his people, smiling.

Zhou also went along, apparently to help.

"Is your name Ruiheng?"

Su He looked at the little guy leaning on the kang. He was wearing a patched cotton jacket. He nodded shyly when he heard Su He's question.

"Hehua, this is Tietou, Tietou! Call me cousin."

Sun looked at Ruiheng lovingly, and it was obvious that she loved her sensible great-grandson very much.

"Beau."

The shy Tietou spoke cautiously, but unexpectedly he was exposed. Su He burst out laughing.

"This kid, his front teeth just fell out, and he has a lisp when he speaks, hahaha."

Sun touched Tietou's little head affectionately and explained to Su He.

"Tietou, my cousin's bowl of noodles is too much, can you help me eat some?"

Tietou's eyes lit up and he was about to reply when Sun became anxious.

"Lotus, why don't you eat? Tietou has food to eat, you eat yours."

"Grandma, I ate too many snacks just now, and Miaomiao was full after only eating half a bowl, so I had enough for her to eat. I haven't touched this bowl of noodles, so please share it with Tietou."

Sun looked at Miaomiao's bowl and found that there was indeed half a bowl of noodles left.

"Miao Miao, your brother has finished eating, why can't you eat anymore?"

Sun obviously didn't want to give up. She felt that Hehua and Miaomiao were restrained and couldn't relax here.

Finally, after several difficult refusals, Sun gave up.

"Grandma won't eat it. Your aunt just made rice porridge for me. I'm old and can't eat this kind of noodles. Tietou, since your cousin gave it to you, come over."

Tietou was waiting. As soon as he heard that he was asked to eat, he immediately lay on the kang and leaned against Suhe.

"Eat it, Tietou, while it's hot."

Su He was thinking about her luggage. The pastries she bought yesterday melted in her mouth and had a strong milky flavor, perfect for elderly people with bad teeth.

"Grandma, which room is mine and Miaomiao's? I want to go and see."

After repeatedly declining her grandmother's offer to go with her, Su He hurried out of the house.

Su He's luggage looked very large, but it was actually just clothes, quilts, and some food.

As for the jewelry and silver ingots given by the Zhao family, Su He had already stored them into the space.

All of these were on the kang. On the left side of the door of the room assigned to Su He was the kang, and next to it was a dressing table and a washbasin. They were very old in style, but still very sturdy.

On the far right was a low bamboo bed, which was empty. Su He reached out and touched it, and found that there was no dust at all. She decided to pile some clothes that she was not going to use temporarily on it.

After a simple tidying up, Su He took out the last two boxes of cakes, thought for a while and took out three pounds of brown sugar and red dates. These were prepared for her aunt.

Su He was about to walk out, but turned back and went out again with a large bag of cotton cloth in her hand.

Mrs. Sun was staring at the door, wondering why her granddaughter had not come back yet.

I don't know when little Tietou started playing with Su Che. They were eating and whispering to each other. Miaomiao would lean over to listen from time to time. She didn't eat the noodles, but the little guy was not shy either. He picked a persimmon cake to eat. It was sweet and sticky, and Miaomiao thought it tasted better than sugar.

Su He came in carrying a bunch of things in both hands.

"Hey, Lotus, why are you carrying so many things? Are you tired? Ask your cousin to do this kind of thing. There are many men in the family. You are not needed."

"I can do this myself, grandma, try this cake and see if you like it."

Sun's kang was very big. Su He picked a piece of empty space and put all the things on it. She took out the cakes first and placed them on the small table on the kang.

The cakes in this shop are small but delicate, with patterns of various flowers.

Su He picked one for Sun to try, and the younger ones also had some.

Like a little adult, Mu Tou was bolder this time, "Tie Tou, this is what my sister bought in the county. It's delicious, soft and fragrant. Try it."

Tietou glanced at Sun and only ate after getting permission.

Sure enough, it melted in the mouth. Little Tietou had never eaten such a milky cake before. It looked beautiful too, in the shape of a flower. Tietou almost couldn't bear to eat it when he held it in his hand.

The pastries in this Qian's shop received unanimous praise from everyone, and Su He decided to buy some more when he went to the county tomorrow.
