The beautiful stepmother from the 80s is loved by the whole family!

Chapter 21 Real or fake?

"Is this true? Did you really see that girl Su Mian on the street? And she was getting along well with those two kids?"

He asked back in surprise, and Uncle Su frowned, a little surprised by the result.

I asked again in disbelief. "Are you sure you didn't see the wrong person?"

Logically speaking, this is impossible. Su Mian got married with a bad temper and even came to complain not long ago.

How did you get along so well?

Su Jing looked at her newly painted nails and shrugged helplessly. "How could I be wrong? I can see it clearly."

"He also bought a lot of things. He looked like he had accepted his fate."

"But it's better this way, so she won't come again. It's so annoying. She even asked about it last time."

Thinking back to when Su Mian had argued with the shop assistant over a few pairs of socks, she felt embarrassed.

Su's mother was also confused, but after hearing what Xiaojing said, she felt that it made sense.

"That's right, just don't come to our house. We made it clear last time. We won't care about her anymore."

"Otherwise, it will be hard for our Xiaojing to find a partner in the future."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and there was unstoppable disgust in his eyes.

Uncle Su also nodded, but for some reason he felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something was slowly changing.

Su Mian was kneading the dough and quickly dodged and sneezed.

"Ah, cut~~"

Jiang Ye looked up from the fire. "Mom, did you catch a cold?" He asked with concern, completely forgetting that it was summer.

Su Mian turned around and continued to knead the dough in her hand. "It's okay, maybe I choked."

"Okay, let's make some noodles first and eat them later. Then we'll make dumplings in the evening. We'll also make some steamed buns."

"It's hot now, at best we can get enough to eat tomorrow morning and tomorrow lunch, if we wait any longer it will become rancid."

Fortunately, it is hot during the day and cool at night, so we can just put it in a water tank to keep it cool overnight. (Put the buns in a basin, and then in a tank, they will float on the water without sinking.)
Jiang Ye looked at the big white dough. "Well, I'll keep it well at night and it won't stink."

"I'll go wash vegetables for my mother." Fresh vegetables are indispensable at home now and we have to eat them at every meal.

Just as I was about to go out to wash, Jiang Qing came in with a basket of vegetables, his hands wrinkled.

"I've washed it, I've washed it, mom. I've washed the vegetables and washed and hung my sheets."

With a look of pride on his face, he was very diligent and washed the sheets several times, even though they were just rinsed with water.

It’s not that he is lazy, it’s because his mother said that new sheets only need to be rinsed with water and stepped on a few times, and there is no need to wash them too carefully.

It’s last night’s clothes. I washed them right away when I saw the vegetables.

Su Mian was full of praise, and praised generously. "Great, you are all good children of your mother."

"Wait, I'll roll the noodles and mix them with the remaining braised pig's trotters and the pig's trotter juice. It will be so delicious that you'll be stunned."

I thought that I had already become greedy. I had no interest in white porridge in the morning so I didn't drink two sips, but this noodle was enough to tempt me.

A day can pass quickly or slowly. After eating and drinking, those who should learn to read should start learning to read, and those who should write novels should start writing.

Except for the fact that writing by hand was a bit tiring, everything went smoothly. The beginning was the most important part to consider and adjust, and the signing depended entirely on the first 20,000 words. The two brothers were wholeheartedly practicing their own names, which they could pronounce, and now they just had to recognize and write them.

Finally, it’s beautifully written.

Each of the three had their own headaches, but time passed quickly, and by the time they realized what was happening, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Mom, this is leaking..." Jiang Qing looked at the bun with a big hole in his hand with a guilty conscience. He wanted to hide it but it was impossible.

Jiang Ye laughed out loud immediately, looking at the ugly bun in his hand. At least it didn't break, so he felt that he was very capable.

Su Mian was very skilled in the technique. She quickly gathered the folds and made a nice-looking bun with thick skin and big filling, and placed it in the prepared pot.

"Hey, you can eat what you play with yourself, don't waste it."

"We don't have pigs or chickens at home, so you have to solve it yourself." He nodded and thought.

But after thinking about it for a while, the little thought that had just arisen was instantly cut off.

If you really raise some chickens at home, they will run around and poop everywhere, and their poop-stomping feet will walk around the yard.

I collapse just thinking about it. It's impossible.

Jiang Ye silently pinched a large piece of dough and went over to help Jiang Qing wrap the torn piece again.

Although it has been repaired, it looks ugly and thick, and I don’t know if it is delicious.

Quickly disassociated himself from the matter. "Look, Mom, this is for my brother, he will eat it himself later."

"He can eat a lot, so don't worry, mom, he won't waste it."

Then he picked up his own buns and looked at them. They were much better than his, so he put them into the pot with confidence.

Jiang Qing fixed his buns and put them back into the pot. "I won't give you any even if you want to eat them."

"Mom, I'd better go light the fire for you." He felt embarrassed to pout. The dough was not obedient. It looked different in his hands and in his mother's hands.

Su Mian smiled calmly, scooped a spoonful of stuffing and wrapped it up again. She wanted to laugh when she saw the two obviously different buns in the pot.

"Okay, if you want to pack it, then pack it. It's fine only if you pack it. If you don't want to pack it, then go and have fun."

"It's okay if the second one is a little thicker now. I have to make steamed buns without any filling later. Won't it be just as delicious without any filling?"

It doesn't discourage them. It's still time for them to play, and it's normal for them to be interested in these things.

Jiang Ye also silently put down the dough in his hand, looked at the buns in the pot, and then looked at his own.

The difference is huge. After a moment of silence, I picked up the dough I had kneaded and watched my mother make it, learning step by step.

I will try to take my mom’s place in making dumplings one day, so she won’t have to work so hard anymore.

Su Mian didn't think too much about it. She thought that the boss wanted to play more, so she wrapped it slowly and taught him a few lessons.

Jiang Qing stood up, took a look, then squatted down to continue boiling water.

　Dear boys and girls who like it, please give it a good review. It would be even better if you could give it a recommendation vote. Thank you very much.
