Chapter 57 The Taste of Home
The neighbors saw the mother and daughter dragging their suitcases home, and greeted them enthusiastically and curiously, "Xu Mei, your family is back? It's not the weekend, isn't the school closed?"
Xu Mei smiled lightly and chatted, "My child is worried about my health, so please come back to see me after leave."
"Tsk tsk, Zhizhi has been well-behaved and obedient since she was a child, and she is so filial with good grades. Xu Mei, you will be blessed in the future."
"Aunt Xue was joking..."
Standing and chatting for a while, Mrs. Xue noticed that Su Zhi's face was a little red, and she thought she had skin allergies, so she said with concern: "Your family knows that your skin is so good, you have to be careful, don't be like my girl, who grows up Two years of acne, almost disfigured."
Xu Mei smiled gratefully.
Back home, it was already dark.
Su Zhi’s house was built relatively early, with red walls and gray tiles, and the stone steps were eroded by wind and frost so that the original color could not be seen. Compared with the small western-style buildings in the village that are often 4 or 5 stories high, it looks a little old some.
But Su Zhi was very happy to see it.
In the previous life, after Xu Mei died, Su Tianhai helped her take over the old house as a guardian.
One year later, she learned from fellow villagers that her hometown was engaged in tourism construction, and that her house was sold by Su Tianhai to a restaurant owner.
When she asked Su Tianhai for questioning, Su Tianhai told her that the house was sold for one million, and that he had invested the money in the Su family company, and that when she went to university and got married, the shares would be distributed to her in proportion to the investment.
But until she died, she didn't get half a dime of the shares.
In the two years since she was with Lu Hanyao, she often came back to eat, and took a look at her hometown by the way, and accidentally learned from the owner of the farm restaurant that Su Tianhai sold her old house and homestead for five million.
Xu Mei opened the door, turned her head and saw Su Zhi staring at the door in a daze, and reminded: "It's getting dark, go in first, there are many mosquitoes outside."
"Um."
After putting away the things, Xu Mei tied on her apron and went into the kitchen to make dinner.
Xu Mei is skilled and neat in washing rice, washing vegetables, cutting meat, and patting garlic.
Su Zhi was watching from the side, but her mind was elsewhere.
Xu Mei doted on her and never let her do any housework. She never washed a pair of chopsticks since she was a child.
In her previous life, after being with Lu Hanyao, Lu Hanyao had a bad appetite and was picky. She learned cooking for this purpose, and often spent several days trying to make a delicious dish.
Thinking that she hadn't even cooked a bowl of noodles for Xu Mei, Su Zhi felt indescribably guilty and ashamed.
Seeing that the rice in the rice cooker was almost done, Xu Mei turned on the gas to prepare for cooking.
"I'm going to cook, you go to the living room to watch TV, and light the mosquito coils by the way."
Su Zhi was reluctant to leave, "Mom, can you teach me how to cook?"
Xu Mei glanced at her, "Stay away, don't be splashed with oil."
"Um."
Fried a lettuce slice, cooked a tomato and egg soup, and then heated up the leftover green pepper shredded pork at noon, and the simple two dishes and one soup were ready.
At the dinner table, seeing Su Zhi always eating shredded pork with green peppers, Xu Mei was a little puzzled, "I know, when did you learn to eat spicy food?"
Su Zhi ate with chopsticks, "Second Aunt and Tingting eat spicy food, and Aunt Liu often cooks spicy dishes, so I gradually got used to it."
Xu Mei didn't say anything, just lowered her head and continued to eat.
After dinner, Su Zhi volunteered to help clean up the dishes, Xu Mei waved her away, "Go aside, don't drop the bowl on me."
Su Zhi could only silently step aside.
