Chapter 88
Zhou family, Jinyuan.

The nephew of her natal family came, and Su Shi started to work early in the morning, drafting menus according to everyone's tastes, ordering the subordinates to go out to buy ingredients, arrange flower halls and so on.

Every time Su Jiu comes, the Su family will hold a private banquet in her yard before the official banquet.Su felt that they would drink a lot of alcohol at that kind of banquet, so they would not feel comfortable eating, so every time she would entertain a meal in her yard first, so that the stomach would not be empty during the dinner.

After so many years, it has almost become a habit, every time Su Jiu comes to have lunch, he always goes to Jinyuan.

Just as Su Jiu and Zhou Yanqing finished their salutes, Zisu, the eldest maid in the Su family's house, came in through the curtain, bowed her knees and said, "Ma'am, miss has gone out of the house."

Su asked: "Where did you go? Who followed? Honeysuckle or pinellia? When will you be back?"

Zisu: "Lonicera followed. I didn't say where to welcome the spring, and I didn't say when. I just said that the freshly steamed rice dumplings in the small kitchen were packed in food boxes and taken away."

"Huh? But went to Drunken Moon Hall?"

Seeing Zisu shaking her head and denying it, Mrs. Su was very surprised. She didn't come to Jinyuan, didn't go to listen to Yuxuan, and didn't go to Zuiyue Hall, so where did this girl go with a box of rice dumplings?You can't afford such ordinary food when you go out and walk around.

Zhou Yanqing let out a sudden yell, and then closed his mouth tightly with a face full of secrecy. No matter what Su Shi asked, he would just ask her. You can ask her yourself when she comes back.

"This girl, when she comes back, you don't have to interrogate her." Su Shi said angrily, "Let's eat, don't care about her, since she goes out with zongzi, she won't be hungry."

Zhou Yanqing: ...

This is really my mother.Since he went to see He Beiting, he naturally couldn't starve her.But if this continues, he is worried that his sister will become He's wife before Jiji.

Su Jiu glanced at Zhou Yanqing meaningfully. He was always well-informed. He knew He Beiting before he came to Beijing, and he could guess something from Zhou Yanqing's reaction. But what he didn't understand was that his cousin, who always had eyes above his head, How could he treat that He Beiting so differently?It doesn't take long to return to Beijing this time, how did it develop to the point where you even have to send a steamed rice dumpling?

After Su and the others finished their meal, they returned to the Ming Room from the flower hall. Just as they sat down, before the tea was brought up, Zhou Xining came, holding a white porcelain fruit plate in his hand, which was filled with a plate full of bright red wine. cherries.

As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Mother, two brothers, quickly see what I brought back?"

The Su family hosted a banquet for cousin Su in Jinyuan, Zhou Xining was supposed to come, but it was all because of He Beiting's harm, just such a simple smile captivated her heart.

So when she returned home, she obediently washed the cherries she had brought back and brought them in person as an apology.

Su looked at the big and red cherry with some curiosity.There is always a shortage of fresh and thin fruits in the Zhou family. When the cherries were on the market in April, the Su family did not eat less, but they were not as big as this.And the most important thing is that it is now in May, and the cherries on the market are already out of the market, and there is no more to eat. Where did she get them?

With that in mind, Su asked the same question.

Zhou Yanqing also looked at his sister with a look of glee, wanting to see what she had to say, but before he could gloat over his misfortune, Zhou Xining blinked his eyes and stopped pretending.

"The He family." Zhou Shining said, "He Beiting knew from somewhere that I like cherries, so he picked dozens of cherry saplings from outside and planted them in front of his yard. Although only four survived, The fruit is dense and big enough. The most important thing is that it is a month behind the common cherries here. You don’t know how rare I was when I saw those cherry trees.

There are just ripe fruits today, let me pick some back for everyone to taste. "

While talking, he picked a big red cherry from the plate and handed it to Su Shi, "Mother, try it quickly, the taste is different from ordinary cherries, sweet and refreshing, I will eat this plate in one sitting Not greasy."

Mrs. Su glared at Zhou Xining angrily. After all, she was unwilling to brush her daughter's face, and took the cherry and ate it into her mouth.

"Well, it's sweet and refreshing. It's not bad. You all have to try it." Su's eyes lit up as soon as he bit it open.This cherry is very suitable for her taste, Zhou Si Ning likes sweet, while Su prefers sweet and sour.Although the cherry is sweet, it also has a hint of sweet and sour crunch.And the meat is thick and juicy, and it is indeed sweet and refreshing when you bite it down.

"I know Heniang's taste. There are not many ripe fruits on the tree. After picking these and washing them, I got a total of three dishes. I gave one to my grandfather, one to my mother, and one to the two of them. Brother, listen to Yuxuan."

Zhou Yanqing gave a similar look, then reached out and took one and put it in his mouth.In his opinion, the taste of this cherry is not particularly good, but it is better in size, thick and juicy, and the flesh is full of mouthful after one bite.

Su Jiu also tasted two of them to save face, and made a comment in her heart, but it's just mediocre.He had seen cherries bigger than this head elsewhere.

Seeing that the Su family and Zhou Yanqing were both fond of eating, Zhou Xining said, "He Beiting said that the four trees will mature in two batches, and the fruits on the two trees will start to ripen one after another now. The other two will take about ten days and a half months to ripen." There will be ripe fruits, which means that we will have fruits to eat in the next month.

Both my mother and my brother like it, so I will pick some up tomorrow. "

Su poked her forehead with one finger, "Aren't you ashamed? Do you pick the fruit every day from the fruit trees planted by others? It's a favor for you to eat once. There's no reason to come to ask for it every day. You can take care of it." Let's face it."

Zhou Yanqing also laughed at her, "Who says it's not, just be more careful."

Although Su Jiu was also smiling, there was no smile in her eyes, and she felt a little annoyed in her heart.It was too late for him, the entire Zhou family had already accepted He Beiting.

Zhou Xining pursed his mouth slightly aggrieved and said, "That was planted for me, what's wrong with me picking it? If I don't pick it, I'll leave it to someone else."

Zhou Yanqing said: "Mother, take a look, she has such a thick skin..."

Just as Zhou Xining was about to refute, he heard Su Jiu say: "Yes, cousin, it's not good for the girl to always run away like this. If it spreads, it will cause people to gossip."

"Even if I just stay in the house all day long and don't show my head, I will not be less gossiping." Zhou Xining spread his hands and said helplessly, "I can't help it. I was born with gossip, and I can provoke people everywhere I go. .”

Su Jiu wanted to say that if you go to Liuzhou with me, there won't be any.But he didn't say this after all, he was afraid that if he said it, he wouldn't even have to be a brother or sister in the future.

But he still wants to abduct this person to Liuzhou, after all, grandma has been looking forward to it for so many years.

"Auntie, my grandmother's health has been getting worse these years, and I miss my aunt and cousin every now and then. Next month is my grandmother's [-]th birthday. I don't know if my aunt and cousin..."

Sixty birthday.

Yes, my mother is 60 years old, I don't know how many years are left.

As soon as Su Jiu mentioned the old lady of the Su family, the Su family felt a little sad. Since she got married, she went back to that time when she was attending the funeral for her father.

Daughter married far away...
