Chapter 105 Su Mianmian's Dilemma

Su Jianjun then showed Chen Xiuting the watermelon, grapes, and strawberries that Su Nuannuan had brought back.

Su Nuannuan still had half of her things left in her big bag.

The group chatted for a while longer, and Su Nuannuan continued to take things out of her large bag.

The Su family members stared intently at Su Nuannuan's large bag, especially Su Erqiang, who was wondering what delicious food was inside.

Su Nuannuan did not disappoint Su Erqiang. This time, she took out five roast ducks from the state-run restaurant in Beijing.

Su Nuannuan put the five roast ducks into her space after they had cooled down. Therefore, although the roast ducks were cold, they were still very fresh and perfectly edible.

When Su Nuannuan took out the roast duck, the air was instantly filled with its aroma.

Even through the brown paper bag, the Su family could smell it.

Although the Su family has had enough to eat for the past two months, they still eat very little meat. Previously, the wild boar meat hunted in the village was made into cured meat by Chen Xiuting and sent to Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian.

Therefore, when Su Nuannuan took out the roast duck, the entire Su family swallowed hard.

Su Erqiang's saliva dripped directly onto the ground, and it wasn't until Su Sanquan slapped him that he realized what was happening.

Seeing that his whole family was looking at him, Su Erqiang blushed with embarrassment.

Su Nuannuan placed the roast duck on the table and addressed everyone.

"This is a roast duck I bought at a state-run restaurant in Beijing. You should try it."

After saying that, he opened the two paper packages and placed them in front of the Su family.

Even though the three Su brothers were very tempted, they didn't immediately grab the food. Instead, they looked at Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting.

Seeing his three sons looking like this, Su Jianjun raised his hand and said.

"Since it was your sister who bought it, you can eat it."

Chen Xiuting nodded and added.

"You must always remember Nuannuan's kindness."

The three Su brothers nodded.

Then, Su Erqiang and Su Sanquan quickly stepped forward, surrounded the two roast ducks, and started tearing them apart with their hands. First, they removed the duck legs from the two ducks, and then handed three of them to Su Jianjun, Chen Xiuting, and Su Nuannuan.

Su Nuannuan wasn't hungry at first, but Su Er forced her to eat a duck leg.

There was one duck leg left, which was originally in Su Sanquan's hand, but Su Erqiang snatched it away with lightning speed and licked it.

After licking it, he looked innocently at Su Daliang and Su Sanquan and said...

"Do you want more?"

Su Sanquan glared at Su Erqiang, then broke off a duck wing. Su Daliang smiled helplessly and also broke off a duck wing.

Seeing that no one was going to take the duck leg from him, Su Erqiang happily gnawed on it.

The roast duck in Beijing is the most authentic in all of China; the duck meat is succulent and juicy. Su Nuannuan opened the packaged sauce and invited everyone to dip their ducks in it.

None of the Su family members had ever eaten authentic roast duck before, and once they started eating the duck meat, they couldn't stop.

Seeing that everyone was enjoying the meal made Su Nuannuan very happy.

After the two roast ducks were finished, Su Erqiang was still staring longingly at the remaining three. Seeing this, Chen Xiuting quickly put the other three roast ducks into a bag.

"Keep these ducks for later."

Eating two ducks at once was already a luxury for the Su family. They had no objection to Chen Xiuting keeping the remaining three roast ducks.

Just then, everyone washed their hands, and Su Nuannuan continued to take things out of the big bag.

This time, she took out the pomegranates and three bundles of five-nut mooncakes that Zhou Mengshu had given her.

When the pomegranates and mooncakes were brought out, everyone was surprised again.

"Nuan Nuan, you bought mooncakes!"

Su Erqiang's exclamation rang out.

Yesterday was the Mid-Autumn Festival, but unfortunately, the Su family didn't eat any mooncakes because they were reluctant to spend money. "And they were five-nut mooncakes!"

Su Sanquan's exclamation followed.

The department stores in the county town also sell mooncakes, among which the most popular is the five-nut mooncake. However, the five-nut mooncake is also the hardest to buy and the most expensive.

They had only heard about the taste of five-nut mooncakes from classmates who had eaten them when they were in school.

The Su family's eyes lit up when they saw the three bundles of five-nut mooncakes that Su Nuannuan took out.

Su Nuannuan did not hide the origin of the Five-Kernel Mooncake.

"These mooncakes and pomegranates were not bought by me, but given to me by one of my roommates."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, the Su family members gaped in astonishment.

Su Sanquan blurted out his thoughts.

"You're getting all this stuff for free? Your roommate's family must own a factory, right?"

Su Nuannuan nodded.

"Her family does indeed own a factory."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, the Su family members all gasped.

Upon seeing this, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but chuckle twice.

Then, she took out the two cans of malted milk powder that Zhao Yalan had given her.

“This was a gift from a friend. I helped her solve some troubles before, and this is a gift she gave me to thank me for it.”

Without revealing Zhao Yalan's identity, Su Nuannuan then half-heartedly mentioned that Zhao Yalan had given her malted milk powder.

Having already seen pomegranates and mooncakes, they were able to accept the origin of malted milk powder.

When Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting saw the malted milk powder, they looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.

"Dad, Mom, these two cans of malted milk powder are for you to take and eat yourself."

After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, she put the malted milk powder into their arms.

Chen Xiuting took the malted milk powder and said excitedly to Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, that's great! Your second sister's two children are saved!"

Upon hearing Chen Xiuting's words, Su Nuannuan looked at Chen Xiuting with a serious expression and asked.

"Mom, what happened to my second sister's family?"

The three Su brothers also looked at Chen Xiuting with concern.

Hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun sighed. It was Su Jianjun who spoke first.

“Your second sister sent a letter a few days ago saying that Liangliang and Yueyue have run out of breast milk and asked us to help find malted milk powder and formula.”

Liangliang and Yueyue are the twins born this year to Su Mianmian, the second sister. Because Su Mianmian was pregnant during a famine and suffered from insufficient nutrition, she endured great hardship during childbirth. After the babies were born, Su Mianmian didn't have enough breast milk for both children.

Su Mianmian and her husband were extremely worried. Living on an island, they could only write to their parents for help.

Logically, Su Nuannuan's family should have sought help from her mother-in-law's family, but her mother-in-law's family wasn't wealthy and couldn't afford it. After learning the news, they sent all the food they could find to the two of them, but the newborn baby couldn't eat that kind of food.

Left with no other option, Su Mianmian and her husband sought help from Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting.

After receiving Su Mianmian's letter, the two asked around to find connections, but they couldn't even find a trace of malted milk powder or milk powder.

The two had no choice but to send some of their money and food to Su Mianmian.

Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting didn't tell their children about this, afraid they would worry. Su Jianjun originally wanted Su Nuannuan to check if Beijing had any malted milk powder or formula, but Chen Xiuting refused.

She felt that Su Nuannuan was alone in Beijing, unfamiliar with the city, and didn't want to cause her any trouble.

However, the two did not expect that Su Nuannuan would bring two cans of malted milk powder with her when she returned this time.
