Chapter 188 Sister-in-law Yu visits seeking advice

When Su Jinjin brought out the dishes, she went straight to the liveliest part of the family compound.

Many middle-aged women sat here chatting. Some had children with them, while others were knitting sweaters.

They saw Su Jinjin carrying a basin of vegetables, walking towards them with a happy expression.

Even before Su Jinjin got close, they could smell the aroma wafting from the vegetable basin.

Her sister-in-law, who knew her well, asked directly.

"Oh my, Jinjin, what's this? It smells so good!"

Su Jinjin approached and showed everyone the braised crab pieces and shrimp balls in the small iron basin she was holding. Suppressing her smugness, she addressed the crowd.

"It's nothing good. At noon, my little sister traded some shrimp and crab with that girl, Alan. You should try my little sister's cooking."

Although Su Jinjin said she was inviting everyone to try it, her words implied that she was showing off to everyone.

Everyone in the family compound knows each other. Besides, Su Jinjin's thoughts are so obvious that they can be seen through at a glance. Everyone can tell what she's thinking just by looking at Su Jinjin's expression.

Sister-in-law Yu is the person Su Nuannuan met on her first day.

She had a very good impression of Su Nuannuan, and when she heard that the dishes Su Jinjin brought were made by Su Nuannuan, she immediately praised her.

"Jinjin, your sister's cooking is amazing. Just the smell makes my mouth water."

Su Jinjin laughed and said.

"Sister-in-law Yu, don't be shy. Come and try my sister's cooking."

When Su Jinjin came out, she brought several pairs of chopsticks with her. After she finished speaking, she handed a pair of chopsticks to Sister Yu.

Although the food Su Jinjin brought smelled delicious, it was still obvious at a glance that it was made from sea crab and shrimp. It seemed to have a lot of oil and salt in it.

When everyone heard Su Jinjin speak, they stopped being reserved.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started picking up crab pieces and shrimp balls.

Sister-in-law Yu was the first to pick up a shrimp ball. The shrimp meat was coated with golden flour, and you could even smell the aroma of oil.

One bite reveals a unique and delicious combination of firm, bouncy shrimp meat and crispy outer shell. In this era of scarce culinary delights, Su Nuannuan's shrimp balls instantly won over Sister Yu's heart.

After finishing the whole shrimp ball, Sister Yu looked at it again with delight.

Unlike others, she prefers seafood. Especially shrimp; Sister Yu likes to put a couple in the pot when cooking.

This method is bland and tasteless, and the children in the family don't like to eat it.

However, the fried shrimp balls that Su Jinjin brought gave her a different experience. She was sure her son would love them.

At this moment, a quiet-looking woman spoke up.

"It tastes good, but it uses a lot of oil."

Su Jinjin nodded at the opportune moment.

"That's right. But luckily, these shrimp and crabs are free. It only costs a little oil, so it's still worth it."

Many of the women nodded in agreement with Su Jinjin's statement.

Sister-in-law Yu and Su Jinjin have a good relationship. While everyone was eating, Sister-in-law Yu came to Su Jinjin's side and said...

"Jinjin, can I come to your house and learn how to make shrimp balls from Nuannuan?"

Braised crab pieces are also delicious. However, compared to shrimp balls, which are tightly wrapped and whose ingredients are unknown, braised crab pieces are very easy to make; you can tell the ingredients and cooking method at a glance.

However, compared to braised crab pieces, Sister Yu preferred fried shrimp balls. That's why she asked Su Jinjin about it.

Su Jinjin didn't think too much about it, nodded, and agreed immediately.

After chatting with her neighbors, Su Jinjin took the empty iron basin home.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan knew that her cooking had won the hearts of her neighbors in the residential compound. Sister-in-law Yu had returned with Su Jinjin.

Su Nuannuan is currently sitting in the courtyard reading a book. She put the book in her spatial storage early this morning; it's all about traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.

These prescriptions are all carefully selected and have excellent therapeutic effects. Su Nuannuan felt that once she had learned enough about traditional Chinese medicine preparation, she planned to make some basic medicines.

I believe these medicines made from herbs found in the space must have special and miraculous effects.

When Sister-in-law Yu came in, she saw Su Nuannuan reading a book intently.

Seeing this scene, Sister Yu was even happier. She took Su Jinjin's hand and said...

"No wonder your sister was able to get into a university in Beijing. Look at how hard she works, even more so than the boys in the army."

Su Jinjin nodded reluctantly.

She admitted that her younger sister studied diligently. However, she thought it was better to say she wasn't as hardworking as the boys in the army.

Although I haven't lived with my younger sister for several years, I can tell from my parents' letters that she wasn't very focused on her studies.

Su Jinjin's speculation was entirely based on her understanding of the original owner of the body.

Therefore, she was unaware that her younger sister was now a completely different person.

Although Aunt Yu's words were somewhat exaggerated, Su Nuannuan's studies at the university in Beijing were indeed quite diligent and hardworking.

Su Nuannuan's attention was drawn to the voices. She looked up and saw her older sister and Sister-in-law Yu, whom she had met before, talking at the door.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan stopped reading and addressed the two people at the door.

"Big sister, Sister-in-law Yu, come in quickly."

Upon seeing this, Sister-in-law Yu quickly said to Su Nuannuan.

"Did we disturb your reading? You don't need to pay attention to us."

Su Nuannuan smiled and shook her head, saying...

"No. I'm just bored. I'm reading a book to kill some time."

Su Nuannuan was indeed a little bored.

Mom and her three older brothers are gone. At home, there's Su Jinjin, one adult, and Su Nuannuan, a soon-to-be adult. There are also three toddlers who can run and jump, and an infant who is still breastfeeding.

Adults are indispensable at home.

Everyone in the family compound knows each other. They'll keep an eye on Cheng Junqi and his two siblings when they're playing outside. But Wenliang, who's at home, needs to be looked after by an adult.

Therefore, when Su Jinjin goes out, Su Nuannuan has to stay at home.

Fortunately, Wenliang, her little nephew, is quiet and likes to sleep, which saves Su Nuannuan a lot of trouble.

When Sister-in-law Yu and Su Jinjin heard Su Nuannuan say that, they didn't hold it against her.

At this point, Sister Yu finally explained her purpose.

"Nuan Nuan, how did you make those shrimp balls? They were delicious. I want to make some for my son to try. I won't take advantage of you for nothing. I have a piece of floral fabric at home. I'll give it to you to make a dress."

Su Jinjin disagreed with what Sister-in-law Yu said.

"Sister Yu, Nuannuan doesn't want your fabric. I'll make her an outfit next time we go shopping for supplies."

At this moment, Su Nuannuan also spoke up.

"Yes, Sister Yu. Shrimp balls are very easy to make; you don't need to add a cloth over them."

Sister-in-law Yu's husband is the direct superior of her two older sisters' husbands, so Su Nuannuan can tell the difference between them. More than the fabric, she hopes that Sister-in-law Yu's family can take care of her two older sisters' families in the future.
