Chapter 50 Cabbage and Pork Dumplings
After agreeing on a time with Mrs. Sun, Su Xiaoxiao returned home. Today she went to the market to buy some flour and meat to make dumplings, and luckily she also had some cabbage at home.

Su Xiaoxiao made a batch of dumplings with cabbage and pork filling. The dumplings were quite delicious, and the two children were very happy eating them.

Su Xiaoxiao even bought vinegar at the market today. Dipping dumplings in vinegar is really tempting. She ate a dumpling and then a sip of vinegar, her mouth full of oil.

However, the two children couldn't eat it like that; they thought it was too sour.

Su Xiaoxiao was quite happy, at least she could still eat a decent meal of dumplings, which was simply a delicacy.

After taking a bite, she thought she should send some dumplings to Sister Sun's family, so she filled a whole bowl with dumplings and sent it to Sister Sun's family.

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived at the Sun family's house, she saw that their oil lamp was still lit. While in the courtyard, she could already hear the children chattering and making noise.

Sun has two children, a boy and a girl. When they saw Su Xiaoxiao arrive, they quickly called their mother out of the kitchen.

When Sun saw Su Xiaoxiao standing outside the door, she went over to greet her and said, "Su Xiaoxiao, why don't you come in?"

Su Xiaoxiao handed the dumplings forward, "Sister Sun, these are dumplings my family made. I was just thinking of giving some to the kids to try."

Upon seeing this, Madam Sun quickly declined, saying, "How could I possibly accept this? You should keep it for yourself!"

"It's okay, I made a lot of dumplings today."

As Su Xiaoxiao spoke, she stepped inside.

The Sun family's courtyard was quite large, but it wasn't much better than Su Xiaoxiao's house; it looked just as dilapidated.

Because Sun and her husband Wang Er were both from out of town, they had only recently moved to the village, and their family's financial situation was not very good.

Tonight, their dinner consisted of cornmeal porridge and wild vegetable soup. The bowl of cabbage and pork dumplings that Su Xiaoxiao brought over was simply an irresistible temptation.

Both children stared longingly at the bowl of dumplings, but neither of them rushed forward to grab or snatch them, which shows that they were well-mannered.

Mrs. Sun said to the two children, "Why don't you come over and thank your aunt properly?"

The two children came over, bowed to Su Xiaoxiao, and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"

At that moment, Su Xiaoxiao felt her heart melt, and she unconsciously went over and kissed the two children's little faces before turning around to say goodbye.

Su Xiaoxiao returned home and, as soon as she entered the house, she heard people talking inside, accompanied by the cries of two children.

Su Xiaoxiao was startled and quickly went inside to see what was going on.

When she went inside, she thought something strange had happened at home again, but it wasn't. She saw two children surrounding a person, and when that person turned around, Su Xiaoxiao saw that it was Sanlang.

"You, why are you back?"

Saburo's clothes looked expensive, and his leg had healed, allowing him to walk normally on the ground.

More than two months have passed since Sanlang went missing. Su Xiaoxiao saw that Sanlang had become even more handsome, and his clothes were very luxurious. The cloud boots he was wearing were probably worth more than ten taels of silver, and the gems inlaid on them must be worth a lot of money.

How come Sanlang has changed so much in just a few days? Has he become rich? Even if he walked down the street in those clothes, Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't dare to go up and recognize him!

"Sanlang, where did you come from?"

Su Xiaoxiao could hardly believe her eyes. She walked over and came to Sanlang's side.

Sanlang also seemed very excited. He said to Su Xiaoxiao, "You didn't expect that, did you? I'm back!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at his leg and asked, "Is your leg better?" "It's been fine for a long time. The medicine you applied for me is very effective."

"But who exactly kidnapped you that day?"

Upon hearing this, Saburo's expression turned slightly unpleasant.

"I'll tell you about this later, but I've already escaped and I'm fine now!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao realized that he had escaped.

However, it seems that those who captured Sanlang did not mistreat him. On the contrary, they treated him to good food and drink and now dressed him in such luxurious clothes.

Saburo said, "Indeed, those people didn't make things difficult for me, but I didn't know them. After I recovered from my injuries, I found a chance to escape."

Before Su Xiaoxiao could ask anything else, she saw Da Bao and Xiao Bao showing her toys and lots of delicious food.

"Mommy, look! Sanlang bought us so many delicious and fun things!"

Su Xiaoxiao saw that these nice things must have cost a lot of money, but Sanlang was very willing to spend it.

Su Xiaoxiao scolded Sanlang, "You, all these nice things must have cost a lot of money, right? Tell me, how could you spend money so extravagantly? If this money had been spent properly, buying some rice and flour would have been enough for our family to eat for a long time!"

When Su Xiaoxiao said that to Sanlang, he felt quite embarrassed. He quickly scratched his head and said, "Xiaoxiao, I was wrong. I will definitely be more careful to be frugal in the future. I just wanted to make the children happy, didn't I?

Su Xiaoxiao didn't actually blame Sanlang; she was just being frugal because she was planning to buy a new house. She felt that these things were a bit too extravagant for her family.

But seeing how happy her two children were, she had nothing more to say.

After all, this is also a token of Saburo's goodwill!

Su Xiaoxiao now felt that she seemed to be being a bit fussy, perhaps because she had been living like this for too long. At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao was very happy to see that Sanlang had returned, and she didn't want to worry about where Sanlang had gone at this time.

It seems that now that the family is reunited, Su Xiaoxiao doesn't have time to think too much.

"Sanlang, have you had dinner yet?"

Su Xiaoxiao asked with great concern.

"No, but I heard from Da Bao that you're having dumplings today, right?"

"Yes, you're in for a treat today."

Su Xiaoxiao said this.

"I'll heat up some dumplings for you right now."

Saburo enjoyed his dinner very much.

This time, he didn't say he was unhappy or anything; instead, he ate several extra bowls of rice.

This time, he was still quite willing to believe one thing: that coming back was the right thing to do.

Saburo did indeed have some realizations, and this time he truly believed that escaping from home was the right thing to do.

Sanlang was now thinking about how to tell Su Xiaoxiao that he had actually run away from home and that his memories had been fully restored.
