Chapter 195 Island Specialties
This was the first time Su Nuannuan had a meal with her two older sisters' families.

My eldest and second brother-in-laws both ate very elegantly, probably because they were both from Haishi. Their children were also raised to be very polite.

They ate slowly and deliberately, which made Su Erqiang, who was used to eating heartily, very uncomfortable. He felt as if he were being pricked by needles all over his body, and he was somewhat restless.

Seeing this, Chen Xiuting still smiled. However, her hand had already quietly reached out and pinched Su Erqiang's waist hard.

The sudden pain in his lower back caused Su Erqiang to lose control of his facial expressions, and his eyes and eyebrows immediately furrowed together.

Su Nuannuan sat right next to the two of them, witnessing all of this.

She suppressed a laugh and looked away.

When Su Erqiang saw that it was Chen Xiuting who was pinching him, he immediately looked at Chen Xiuting with pitiful eyes.

"Mom, why are you pinching me?"

Chen Xiuting glared at Su Erqiang and said...

"Eat well."

Upon seeing this, Su Jinjin spoke directly.

"Erqiang, eat as much as you want. Don't follow your brothers-in-law's example."

After saying that, Su Jinjin muttered to herself.

"It looks weird."

At this point, everyone at the table, except for Cheng Junqi and his two little brothers and the person involved, Su Erqiang, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Su Erqiang looked at everyone with resentment.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Qian quickly suppressed his laughter and said to Su Erqiang.

"Erqiang, I see you're in good shape. How about coming to my company for some training this afternoon?"

Upon hearing Cheng Qian's words, Su Erqiang's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile, and he looked at Cheng Qian and said.

"Yes, yes, I want to go!"

Although Chen Xiuting was reluctant for her son to join the army, she was still happy for Cheng Qian to take him out and broaden his horizons. Therefore, she did not object.

At this moment, Wen Wuqi also spoke up.

"Da Liang and San Quan are the same; they can come and visit my company too."

It was supposed to be just for fun, but it really meant training with the other guys in the company.

Su Daliang and Su Sanquan had absolutely no interest in this. Su Sanquan, in particular, was completely uninterested in sweating or rolling around on the ground.

Su Daliang, however, was thinking about reviewing his lessons. Although he had come to the island, he had brought two books with him.

Su Daliang decided to finish reading these two books and memorize the important points while living on the island. This was a huge challenge.

Seeing that Su Daliang and Su Sanquan were genuinely uninterested, Wen Wuqi didn't say anything more.

After the meal, Su Erqiang left happily with Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Xiuting pointed to the remaining large bowl of shrimp and crab and said to Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, how are you going to eat all this?"

Su Nuannuan felt a little guilty and spoke softly.

"Mom, how about we blow them all up?"

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Chen Xiuting immediately became furious.

Frying this stuff would use so much oil. Chen Xiuting's thinking was completely out of sync with Su Nuannuan's; she immediately rejected Su Nuannuan's idea.

"No. It uses too much oil. Can't we just boil them directly?" Su Nuannuan shook her head. Boiled shrimp with dipping sauce is indeed delicious, but it gets greasy after a while. Su Nuannuan still thinks fried shrimp and crab are more fragrant.

Su Nuannuan swayed Chen Xiuting's arm from side to side, her eyes wide open, making it hard not to soften one's heart.

She lowered her voice and said in a coquettish tone.

"Mom, I want to eat it, so please make it for me. If we can't finish it, we can take it home for Dad. Anyway, it's deep-fried, so it will keep longer."

Su Nuannuan persisted in pursuing Chen Xiuting. Seeing that Chen Xiuting's brow had relaxed, Su Nuannuan quickly pressed her advantage, saying...

"Dad, it's already pitiful enough that you can't come to see my eldest and second sisters. Let's bring back some local specialties so you can see what they usually eat. Besides, these are all good things, very nutritious. They're so expensive in restaurants in Beijing!"

Chen Xiuting was initially hesitant, but after hearing Su Nuannuan's last words, she made the decision immediately.

"Okay. Mom, I'll make it for you."

Seeing that Chen Xiuting had been persuaded, Su Nuannuan mentally made a "V" sign with her little hand.

Chen Xiuting agreed to Su Nuannuan's request not only because she was being pestered by her little girl, but also because Su Nuannuan's statement that "this thing is expensive in Beijing" convinced her.

Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian watched with smiles as Su Nuannuan pestered Chen Xiuting.

Seeing Su Nuannuan's triumphant expression, both of them couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Su Mianmian spoke up.

"Mom, Nuannuan, I'll have Wuqi bring you some seafood tomorrow. Dry it and take it home for Dad."

Su Nuannuan's eyes lit up when she heard Su Mianmian's suggestion.

She looked at Chen Xiuting and said.

"Mom, my second sister is right. We've come all this way, it would be such a waste of our train ticket if we didn't bring back some dried seafood."

Chen Xiuting nodded after hearing this.

She came here hoping to bring some local specialties from the island to show her fellow villagers. However, after seeing the barren, rocky island, Chen Xiuting had already given up on the idea of ​​selling island specialties.

Now, upon hearing Su Mianmian mention it, Chen Xiuting's previously dead thoughts suddenly revived.

She had already seen it. Near the pier, numerous fish and shrimp crawl around on the beach every day. Although the islanders collect them daily, there are simply too few islanders to collect them all.

Chen Xiuting felt full of energy and wanted to carry a bucket to the island to collect seafood.

Seeing that Chen Xiuting was getting restless, Su Nuannuan quickly grabbed her hand.

"Mom, we're going beachcombing tomorrow. Today, could you fry these shrimp and crabs for me?"

Hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Chen Xiuting gave up her idea of ​​going to the beach today and obediently helped Su Nuannuan fry shrimp and crab.

When Chen Xiuting went into the kitchen, Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian chased Su Nuannuan out and told her to watch over Liangliang and Yueyue, while they helped Chen Xiuting with her work.

Su Nuannuan knew that her eldest and second eldest sisters wanted to spend more time with Chen Xiuting. So she went along with their wishes and went to Su Mianmian's house next door to look after Liangliang and Yueyue.

Perhaps it was when Wen Wuqi left that he changed the two little ones' diapers, and they lay quietly in bed.

Seeing this, Su Nuannuan touched the two people's bellies and felt that they were not very swollen.

She then started preparing milk powder with the spring water for them.

After feeding the two little ones, Su Nuannuan began planning to buy seafood.

Chen Xiuting's efforts alone were ultimately insufficient. Furthermore, the seafood on the beach was small, of low quality, and limited in variety. Su Nuannuan still felt it was better to buy seafood directly from the island's fishermen.

Because Chen Xiuting was present, Su Nuannuan did not mention it.

She decided to go and discuss the matter of purchasing seafood with Alan tomorrow.
