In fact, food cooked over a wood fire is the most delicious.
Mr. Liu was washing cabbage and radish, while Mrs. Liu was putting chopped fatty pork into a pot to render pork cracklings.
As the pork was put into the pot, a fragrant aroma gradually filled the courtyard.
Fortunately, the Liu family had no neighbors around them, and behind the house was a small hill. There were no wild boars on the hill, at most some wild rabbits and pheasants.
The nearest houses in front, namely the two families of Liu's eldest and second eldest brothers, are still two or three hundred meters away.
Smelling the aroma and looking at the pork cracklings on the plate, Su Ting couldn't help but drool. He secretly pinched off two pieces and popped them into his mouth.
"Mmm, it tastes absolutely amazing, so fragrant!" Su Ting closed his eyes in bliss, which brought a smile to Liu's mother's face.
Just then, a sound came from outside the door, and the voices of Liu Zhao and Liu Mu could be heard from afar.
"Wow! It smells so good! Let's go see what delicious food they've made."
"Sister, slow down, wait for me!"
As the sound drew nearer, the two sisters rushed into the kitchen.
Su Ting was sitting on a small stool, tending a fire, and stirring something in his mouth.
They rushed over immediately, wanting to see what Su Ting was eating.
Seeing the pork cracklings on the stove, the two couldn't resist trying them, but they were unable to.
On the way, Liu's mother accurately tapped his hand with a chopstick each.
"Crack! Crack!"
"Ouch!"
"It hurts! Mom, why did you hit us!"
Liu's mother said with a displeased look, "What are you going to do with these? These are all meant to be used for cooking."
You're all so old, how can you still be so immature?
"Su Ting, go out and rest for a while, and chat with your uncle."
Let us women handle the kitchen. Eldest daughter, you chop the vegetables; second daughter, you start the fire.
Hurry up, don't make me angry!
Seeing his two younger sisters being reprimanded, Su Ting stood up with a smile and gave up his seat.
Then, to the surprise of the two sisters, he grabbed a few pieces of pork cracklings and stuffed them into his mouth.
The two sisters were a little confused by this scene, and they immediately became unhappy, pointing at Su Ting and saying...
"Mom, look, Su Ting is stealing food. Why don't you go and hit him?"
"Mom, look! Su Ting is really sneaking a bite!"
To their surprise, Liu's mother ignored them completely, continuing with her work as she responded.
"Stop arguing! I didn't see Su Ting stealing food. Don't give me excuses, get back to work!"
Liu Zhao's emotional value +3
Liu Mu's emotional value +2
After hearing this, Su Ting laughed heartily, winked at the two helpless sisters, and then walked out.
The sounds of Liu's mother's reproach and the two sisters' frustrated voices behind her made Su Ting feel exceptionally relieved.
If a little sister isn't meant to be teased, wouldn't that be a loss of fun?
Actually, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but he just didn't have the means before.
At that moment, Liu's father was smoking and chatting with several elderly men at the door.
Liu's three sons and two sisters-in-law were also listening nearby.
Upon seeing Su Ting emerge, Liu's father hurriedly introduced him to the other gentlemen.
"This is Su Ting. Come, come, Su Ting, this is my elder brother. You can call him Uncle."
This is my second older brother, you should call him Second Uncle; these are my two younger brothers, you should call them Second Uncle and Little Uncle.
Su Ting went up to each of them, offering them cigarettes and greeting them. Of course, he no longer offered Zhonghua cigarettes, but ordinary Daqianmen cigarettes.
But for them, this was already considered a good cigarette; they usually smoked dry tobacco.
Everyone praised Su Ting and envied the two Liu girls for having such a brother from the city.
I heard he has a very powerful background!
As night deepened and the sky gradually darkened, everyone moved to the main room to sit down, smoke, and chat.
As usual, the women went to the kitchen to busy themselves preparing dinner.
The dishes tonight were quite lavish, and Liu's mother generously steamed some buns.
Two chickens were used for soup and stir-frying, respectively, while the pork and pork cracklings were stir-fried until they smelled delicious.
Even though the family may not have all the necessary seasonings, this authentic flavor has a unique charm.
Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Big Red Envelope
There were quite a few people at that dinner party, so they were split into two tables.
An interesting change was that the three brothers from the Liu family were seated at the table with the women.
Liu Zhao and her sister Su Ting sat at the main table, with Liu's father in the most prominent position.
With everyone present as witnesses, Liu Zhao and Liu Mu each toasted Su Ting at the dinner table.
After Su Ting finished his drink, he handed each of them a red envelope.
She said it was just a small token of her appreciation and hoped they would accept it.
When everyone heard that it was just a token of their appreciation, they let them accept it.
After eating for a while, Su Ting pretended to be drunk and, with the help of Liu Zhao and her sister, returned to his room to rest.
After all, he was the only junior at that table, and he was the one toasting others, so it was impossible for them to toast him in return.
Furthermore, they were discussing matters between brothers, and Su Ting couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Liu's father and his brothers had clearly not drunk and chatted together for a long time, and the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
After the two sisters escorted Su Ting back to her room, they opened the red envelopes under the watchful eyes of Liu's mother.
Everyone at the table was looking at them, curious about how much money was in the red envelopes.
When the red envelope was opened, five ten-yuan bills were revealed, and everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"oops!"
"How can there be so much money?"
"There really are too many..."
The men at the main table, hearing the exclamations from that side, all turned to look at them with questioning eyes.
Liu's mother took the red envelopes from the two sisters and walked up to Liu's father.
"Old man, Su Ting is giving us way too much! There's a hundred yuan in total! How could we dare accept it!"
Upon hearing Liu's mother's words and seeing the money in her hand, the uncles and aunts all expressed their opinions.
"When I was drinking earlier, I heard Su Ting say that, and I thought it wouldn't be much! I didn't expect it to be so much!"
"That's not a lot at all! Getting a wife these days only costs ten or twenty yuan!"
"Su Ting is really generous; your family has really hit the jackpot this time!"
After thinking for a moment, Liu's father nodded and said...
"It seems our family has really had good luck. Let's accept the money!"
Su Ting would definitely be unhappy if it were returned.
We should treat them even better from now on; these two girls have really found a good older brother.
After he finished speaking, he gestured for everyone to continue drinking.
Liu's mother took the red envelope and returned to her seat, saying to the two sisters.
"From now on, you must treat Su Ting as your own brother."
If I find out you two are disobedient, I'll teach you a lesson! Here, take this! It's from your brother.
Liu Zhao and Liu Mu immediately responded, "Mom, we know even if you don't say it! My brother gave us canned food this afternoon!"
We'll keep the money for you and Dad! We don't need that much.
"That's right, Mom, please accept it! We will definitely treat my brother well from now on."
Seeing how sensible her two daughters were, Liu's mother couldn't help but tear up. She quickly wiped away her tears and said...
"Alright! I'll keep it for you for now."
In a few days, I'll buy some fabric and make you a few new clothes; the rest can be saved for your future wedding.
