Chapter 47 – Deceit (1)
The three little ones served their father hastily and carelessly. After they finished serving their own father, they turned around their heads with a fling, and ran to the kitchen to find Su Xiaoxiao.
All of them were so heartless, and didn’t have any reluctance to leave him!
The corner of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched.
Little bastard……
Su Xiaoxiao was talking to Mrs. Wu outside the back door of the kitchen now.
Today Su Cheng was going to take care of the Cheng family’s affairs, so Su Xiaoxiao entrusted the three little ones to Mrs. Wu.
In return, she gave some food to Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu didn’t want it, so she said: “The cakes you gave me this morning, we still haven’t finished eating all of them.”
“Is it delicious?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
“Yes, it’s delicious.” Mrs. Wu said.
This was not just a polite statement, but a sincerity.
There was a time when her sister-in-law was sick, so she accompanied her mother-in-law to the neighboring village for a banquet. It was said that they invited a town’s chef, and that was the most delicious food she had ever eaten.
But she felt that the cakes Su Pangya made were no worse than the one that was made by that chef.
Su Xiaoxiao handed her a covered bowl, and said: “These ones are crushed and could not be sold. If you don’t mind, you can take them back and give them to the children to eat.”
Mrs. Wu still wanted to refuse, but she was glared at by Su Xiaoxiao, so she could only obediently take the bowl.
She didn’t open the bowl until she returned to her own house’s kitchen.
It was said that the cakes were crushed, but actually they were only slightly cracked. This kind of cake could still be sold in the market as usual.
And there were not only three cakes in the bowl, but also a large piece of fat and thin braised pork underneath.\n-Braised Pork
Her family couldn’t even eat two meals of meat in a month, and it was basically only for her father-in-law, second younger brother, and Niudan. Her mother-in-law and her second sister-in-law still could get a chopstick of meat occasionally. But she and her daughter still hadn’t tasted meat for half a year.
No, the cakes Su Pangya gave her this morning also had meat filling.
She actually ate two meals of meat in a day?!
……
Liu Shan’s family didn’t say anything about Mrs. Wu taking care of the Su family’s children. The Su family was overbearing, so it would not be surprising at all for them to oppress people to take care of their children.
If Mrs. Wu didn’t take care of the children, could it be that they were taken care by Mrs. He or Grandma Wu ?
Anyhow, Mrs. Wu took care of the children, but the household chores that she had to do didn’t decrease, as she still had to do all of them.
In the kitchen.
The three little cuties stood around the stove, they were standing on tiptoes and looked into the pot.
However, they were not as tall as the stove, so they looked so lonely.
“Mom.” Xiaohu looked at Su Xiaoxiao’s chopping board and said with a gaze of full expectation, “Xiaofu (hu), eat.”
-Chopping board
Su Xiaoxiao felt mischievous, so she picked up a slice of chopped green onion and fed it to him.
-Green Onion / Spring onion.
-Chopped green onion
Xiaohu opened his mouth and took a bite. It was so hot that he frowned and stuck out his tongue.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help laughing.
With Xiaohu testing the onions, Dahu and Erhu were no longer interested in the things on the chopping board. They turned their heads to look at the leftover flaky cakes in the basket on the small table.\n-Flaky Cakes
They had eaten the cakes this morning, and they were delicious.
But for now, they didn’t want to eat this. Because just now, all three flaky cakes were licked by Xiaohu.
“Jie!1 I’m hungry. Do you have anything to eat?” Su Ergou walked into the kitchen.
1Jie (姐) : older sister.
Dahu grabbed the basket on the small table and handed it to Su Ergou: “Uncle, eat.”
“Aren’t you going to eat them?” Su Ergou asked.
Dahu and Erhu shook their heads, while Xiaohu still stuck out his tongue because of the unpalatable food he tasted before.
“Oh, then I will eat them!” Su Ergou held the basket in one hand and put the cakes into his mouth with his other hand.
“Eh? Why is it a little damp……”
——
Father Su had gone to deal with the Cheng family’s affairs, and he probably would only return at night.
Su Xiaoxiao made the stir-fried kidneys with scallions, fried a bowl of crispy pork, stir-fried two kinds of green vegetables, and steamed several cups of steamed egg.

-Crispy pork
-Stir-fried green vegetables\n-Chinese steamed egg / egg custard
She previously steamed a big bowl of steamed egg, but the three little ones didn’t like to eat it like that. They liked to serve it in small cups, one for each.
Su Ergou and Wei Ting also had their shares.
“Ergou, serve the food.”
“I’m Coming!”
Su Ergou went into the kitchen in a hurry, he brought out the food and served rice for the whole family.
