Chapter 216 Grain is taller than people

Su Nuannuan and the others didn't have to wait long before Su Jinjin and Chen Xiuting arrived.

Both of them were carrying several pieces of clothing, some of which belonged to Su Jianjun and others to Chen Xiuting.

When Su Jinjin saw the clothes in the hands of the three Su brothers, she assumed they had already chosen them and greeted them.

"Come on, let's pay together."

Su Nuannuan did not answer, and seeing this, Su Daliang could only reply apologetically.

"No need, ma'am, we've already paid."

Su Jinjin was unhappy when she heard this.

"How can I let you pay! I'll make up for whatever you spent."

Seeing this, Chen Xiuting knew that her children were unwilling to spend Su Jinjin's money. She felt it was understandable. The children spent money on her and her husband because they had given birth to them. However, it wasn't right for their siblings to take advantage of her too much.

Seeing that Su Jinjin was angry, Chen Xiuting tried to persuade her.

"Jinjin, no need. You guys don't earn money easily either."

After much persuasion from Chen Xiuting, Su Jinjin gave up the idea of ​​giving Su Nuannuan and the three Su brothers extra money.

After buying clothes, Su Jinjin dragged Chen Xiuting to other areas.

Whether it was soap, face cream, snacks, or fabric, Su Jinjin bought a lot of them. Because they were consumables, Su Jinjin always bought them in the largest quantities possible.

An hour later, the three Su brothers were covered in the things they had bought.

Even Su Nuannuan was carrying two packets of brown sugar wrapped together in oil paper.

The three Su brothers had just seen Su Nuannuan going on a shopping spree, and now they saw Su Jinjin spending money like water.

Without comparison, there is no harm. Whether it's the two older sisters who got married or the younger sister who is in college, they are all richer than the three of them.

The three brothers all felt a sense of sorrow.

Why is it that they are the ones who spend the money, but we are the ones who get hurt?

When Su Jinjin tried to drag Chen Xiuting shopping, Chen Xiuting finally couldn't take it anymore and punched Su Jinjin.

"You silly girl, how can you be so greedy? Spending so much money, don't you feel like you're losing out?"

After Chen Xiuting finished speaking, she gave Su Jinjin two hundred yuan wrapped in a handkerchief from her pocket.

Upon seeing this, Su Jinjin quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"Mom, I can't accept this. Before we came, we said I would pay this time. How can I take your money!"

After saying that, Su Jinjin used all her strength to push Chen Xiuting's hand that was taking the money back.

Then, Su Jinjin looked at the watch on her wrist and said.

"Mom, it's getting late. Let's go eat first. After we finish eating, I'll take you to the train station."

Seeing that Su Jinjin refused to accept it, Chen Xiuting gave up on the idea.

However, she was still thinking that later, she would have Su Nuannuan use the money to buy some things in Beijing and send them to her two daughters.

After thinking it over, Chen Xiuting stopped worrying about it.

Seeing that Su Jinjin and Chen Xiuting had finally finished shopping, the three brothers Su Nuannuan and Su Daliang, who were following behind, all breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, they were somewhat interested. But as they carried more and more things, they all became tired and bored.

In addition, with mealtime approaching, the three Su brothers, Su Nuannuan and Su Daliang, who are all growing, started to have rumbling stomachs.

Upon hearing that Su Jinjin was going to take them out to eat, Su Nuannuan and the three Su brothers all smiled happily.

The group went to a state-run restaurant and had a simple lunch. Afterwards, Su Nuannuan specially bought some local specialty flatbreads.

The sesame seed cakes are baked over charcoal, resulting in a crispy outer crust. The filling consists of preserved mustard greens and pork, giving them a delicious, caramelized flavor.

Su Nuannuan had a bowl of beef noodles for lunch. She saw that the sesame flatbread looked good, so she ordered one as well.

The sesame seed cake was huge, bigger than Su Erqiang's face. Su Nuannuan couldn't finish it by herself, so she only broke off a small piece. Then, she took a bite, and instantly loved the taste.

As native northerners, Chen Xiuting and the three Su brothers also really like this kind of sesame seed cake.

Su Nuannuan immediately bought twenty, intending to eat them on the way. The sesame seed cakes were very fragrant, and they were still delicious even when they were cold.

Seeing Su Nuannuan spend so much money, Chen Xiuting wanted to advise her but didn't know how. In the end, she pursed her lips and decided to keep quiet.

In her view, it was her daughter's ability to have money to spend that mattered. As parents, they felt incapable of providing their daughter with a good life.

Now, she can earn her own money and spend it on herself. As her parents, they shouldn't say anything.

Of course, the most important reason is that, under the current social conditions, even if someone has money, they might buy things, but they won't necessarily go astray.

Su Erqiang was the happiest when he saw that Su Nuannuan had bought sesame cakes.

At Su Erqiang's request, Su Nuannuan gave him a sesame seed cake.

Afterwards, Su Nuannuan gave everyone else a sesame seed cake.

However, none of them were as fond of food as Su Erqiang, and they shook their heads and refused.

After the three left the state-run restaurant, Su Jinjin rented an oxcart and had it take them to the train station.

Thinking that their luggage was still in the previous car, Su Nuannuan asked in confusion.

"Sister, our things are still in the previous car."

Su Jinjin smiled and said.

"Don't worry. Your brother-in-law and the others left with the train. We'll meet them at the train station."

Hearing Su Jinjin's words, Su Nuannuan was no longer worried.

Chen Xiuting has been drying a lot of seafood on the island these past few days, and Su Nuannuan is really worried that she might lose these things.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the train station.

As soon as Su Nuannuan got off the oxcart, she saw Cheng Qian walking towards them.

In the distance, Wen Wuqi was guarding a pile of things. Looking at the thing behind him that was taller than her second brother-in-law, Su Nuannuan still gasped.

Don't tell her that these are the New Year's gifts her two brothers-in-law prepared for the family!
This is too much!

Su Nuannuan was now extremely doubtful. Would the ticket inspector still let them board the train after seeing what they were carrying?

As Chen Xiuting approached, she noticed the supplies that were taller than a person. She and Su Nuannuan, true to their mother-daughter bond, also gasped in surprise.

"Goodness gravy! This is way too much! Did you bring all the grain from the grain depot?"

No wonder Chen Xiuting thinks that way.

As they approached, they could smell the aroma of dried grain emanating from the bag, even through the fabric.

This is a taste that farmers are very familiar with.

Therefore, even without opening the bag, Chen Xiuting could guess what was inside.

Everyone smiled when they heard Chen Xiuting's exclamation.

Cheng Qian spoke up to explain.

"Mom, these things just look like a lot. Actually, they only take up space, there aren't that many of them."

Cheng Qian said this only to comfort Chen Xiuting.

Ever since they learned that their family was on the verge of running out of food two years ago, Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian had planned to have Chen Xiuting and the others bring back a lot of food when they went home.

If Cheng Qian and Wen Wuqi's families didn't have connections, they really wouldn't have been able to gather so many things in such a short time.

Fortunately, the results are good.
