Xiaofubao was pampered in the chronology

Chapter 331

Baimei didn't say anything, just nodded.

Compared with before, she was quieter and seemed out of place.

Xu Fengjiao recommended several dishes, steamed shad in clear soup, stewed lake duck in rice wine, and dry-roasted yellow pork wings.

"These dishes are delicious. They are the chef's best signature dishes. Many foreigners stationed in China come here to eat these dishes."

Su Xiaosi swallowed when he heard this, and pushed his elder brother, "Just order these?"

Su Zhiyuan glanced at the prices on the menu, and felt that he was in a bad mood, "Let's eat something else..."

Guessing that he thought it was too expensive, Xu Fengjiao said with a smile: "I'll order these few dishes, and when the dishes are ready, let's try them together."

She and her two daughters ordered four dishes, and the Su family also ordered four dishes, for a total of eight dishes.

After ordering, Bai Xing couldn't help but said, "Auntie, can you tell me about Grandpa?"

Bai Lu thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Your grandfather...he was a poor boy when he was young, and he worked as a porter in your grandma's house. Your grandma is the daughter of the owner of Mihang..."

She said that in order to marry her mother, her father left the rice shop and opened a rice shop in a very remote alley. At that time, there were many sundries in the rice in other shops, but only her father's rice was clean. .

Because of this, many people went to his store to buy rice, which made him earn his first pot of gold and opened a second store.

"When your grandpa opened five stores, he went to ask your grandma to marry him. Later, the stores opened more and more, and the Bai family became the largest rice merchant in the local area. After that, your grandfather started other businesses. Lots of business."

Bai Xing asked curiously: "Why are there so many sundries in the rice in other shops, but not in Grandpa's?"

"He found a group of children with very little money, and asked them to help pick up the shriveled grains, rice bran, sand, and broken small stones in Mili. Because the cost of hiring children is low, the price of rice he sells is comparable to that of other shops. The same, not more expensive."

"Wow, grandpa is so smart and has a business mind!" Bai Xing said with emotion.

Su Xiaosi was fascinated, "Mom, I also want to make money like my grandfather, and open a shop by myself..."

Before he finished speaking, his elder brother coughed heavily, "Little Si, don't talk nonsense! Opening a shop and doing business is speculative, not a good thing."

Bai Xing snorted, with an unhappy expression on her face, "I really don't understand. Why is it not a good thing for everyone to make money based on their skills? Go abroad and see, which country has no businessmen?"

Xu Fengjiao frowned, and patted her second daughter's arm, "You damn girl, if you don't say a word, you will die? Xiaosi and his elder brother are right. You can't do business these days, and you will go to jail if you are caught!" "

Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Su Jianmin smoothed things over and said, "Okay, those who celebrate Chinese New Year don't talk about these things."

When he spoke, the waiter had already started to serve the dishes, and every dish was delicious in color, fragrance, and taste that could not be made at home.

After eating half of the meal, Xu Fengjiao ordered two bottles of wine and drank the whole bottle by herself.

When she was half drunk, she picked up the wine glass and toasted Bai Lu, "I want to toast you with this glass of wine..."

The orange light hit her face, making her look a little confused.

"Bai Lu, to be honest, I am very jealous of you. I have been jealous of you since the first time I saw you. You said that we are all human, so why is it so unfair? You have eaten well and lived well since childhood, and were praised by others. It hurts in the palm of your hand.

And me?My father doesn't love my mother, I'm only seven years old, I'm only seven years old, they sold me!
How hard and tiring is it to learn to sing?Being beaten every day, living in the open, living in the open, precarious... Every day I have to think about how to please people, how to avoid being beaten, how to get those masters to reward me with food...

I'm so jealous of you, Bai Lu, I want to live with your winks when I marry into your family. "

Bai Xing felt that her mother was ashamed like this, so she took her arm and said, "Mom, you're drunk!"

Xu Fengjiao pushed her daughter's hand away, "I'm not drunk, I've been holding these words in my heart, I've wanted to say them for a long time..."

Looking at Bai Lu again, she continued: "Bai Lu, I know you hate people like me, you think I'm not worthy to marry your brother, yes, if your parents are still alive, I can't possibly enter the gate of your Bai family.

But... why?Is it because my parents are poor, but they can't support me after giving birth to me?
I didn't conceive well, so I'm not worthy to marry into your Bai family, right?Why does everyone despise me?I am also very pitiful, why did Bai Ting go to Taiwan without saying a word, how could he be so unfeeling to me? "

After finishing speaking, Xu Fengjiao suddenly laughed at herself and laughed wantonly.

After laughing for a while, she stared at Bai Lu's face, and asked in bewilderment: "It's so strange, even though you are wearing such a patchwork dress, why do I feel that you are still the young lady of the Bai family?
You and your brother are the same, always so high above you!
I really want you to be jealous of me once in this life, but you have never been jealous of me. I deliberately showed off in front of you that my eldest daughter is married well, but you are not jealous of me either. Why? "

Just when the children of the Su family thought their mother would ignore her, their mother stood up, picked up the wine glass on the table, and touched Xu Fengjiao's wine glass, "I really don't envy you, I don't envy anyone."

She took a sip of the wine before continuing: "Why are you jealous of me? Because you are too greedy and always think about other people's things, but you can't see what you already have. You have got a lot, but you didn't cherish it. "

Xu Fengjiao frowned, "You said I didn't cherish it?"

"Yeah, think about it for yourself!

You may have been wronged about your childhood and felt that everyone owed you.

But in fact, no one owes you anything except your parents. There has never been absolute fairness in this world. "

Bai Lu's words made Xu Fengjiao think about some things, many things that she couldn't figure out before.

After a while, she whispered slowly, "You're right. I've always blamed this and that all my life, but never blamed myself. I'm too greedy, I want everything..."

She drank all the wine in her glass, and poured wine for Bai Lu, "I'll toast you again, Bai Lu, I don't envy you anymore, I wish you, your husband, your children, and your family a new year Happy, happy and happy."

Both of them drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.

"What I did wrong before, I apologize to you, in the future..."

Xu Fengjiao took her second daughter, Bai Xing, by the hand, "In the future, my daughter hopes that you will take care of her more. She has a straight-talking personality, but she has no heart. Blame it on me."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to Bai Xing: "You should toast your aunt and uncle quickly. I didn't give birth to a boy for the Bai family. You don't have brothers, so you will be easily bullied in the future. Besides your mother, your closest relatives are your aunt's family. do you know?"

"Auntie, Uncle, I don't know how to drink, so I substitute tea for wine." Bai Xing said.

Outside is the sound of New Year's firecrackers.

Su Jianmin and his wife got up and had a drink. Everyone talked about many things in this way, and it was considered to have settled their suspicions.
