Chapter 51 Three Treasures
Chapter 51 Triple Treasure
On the way back, Su Ergou didn't say a word. He was so silent that people forgot that he was a little bully who once followed Father Su to do everything in the sky.
It was almost afternoon when we arrived at the village, Wei Ting and Papa Su were in the field, the three children went to the village to play, Mei Zi and Niudan also went.
Because of selling the formula, Su Ergou didn't take a bite of the food that Su Xiaoxiao brought with her.
He plunged into his room.
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, and decided to make him his favorite pickled pork with preserved vegetables.
Pork belly and fermented soybeans are ready-made, braised in soy sauce, then soaked dried plums and vegetables, placed in a steaming tray, and it will be ready soon.
Su Xiaoxiao chopped chopped green onion and sprinkled it on. He planned to ask Su Ergou to eat it, but after thinking about it, he directly took the preserved vegetables and meat to his room.
Su Ergou sat on the bed sullenly.
Through traveling for so long, this naive little brother has always been carefree. This is the first time Su Xiaoxiao sees him so sad.
Su Xiaoxiao knocked on the door panel: "Ergou, it's time to eat."
Su Ergou turned sideways, raised his sleeve and wiped his face.
Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and looked at the back of his head strangely: "Are you... crying?"
"I don't."
Su Ergou choked up and said.
really cried.
I didn’t cry when was sticked on her behalf, didn’t cry when was rubbed on the ground, didn’t cry when took a cold shower, and eyes turned black from hunger, but just sold a few formulas.
The child is crying.
Su Xiaoxiao's business is to make a living, so it doesn't make much difference to her whether she sells snacks or recipes.
Su Ergou is different, he really likes selling cakes.
When the recipe is taken away, it feels like someone took away their heart flesh.
He stubbornly turned his face and raised his head, so as not to let his sister see him crying.
Su Xiaoxiao sat down beside him, and gently hooked his fingers: "Are you blaming me for selling the recipe?"
Su Ergou's tears couldn't stop falling down: "No, I'm useless! If I hadn't been caught by them, you wouldn't have handed over the formula!"
Su Xiaoxiao sighed: "This... How should I explain it to you? I will sell the formula if I catch you or not. I don't want you to be hurt in the slightest. The second is that I have my ownplan."
Su Ergou cried: "You are talking nonsense! You obviously don't want to sell it!"
Su Xiaoxiao said softly: "Really, I didn't lie to you. I didn't let go before, I was waiting for an opportunity to raise the price. If I sold it easily, the people in Jinji would think that they had lost money. If they ask me to cooperate again, I will lower the price to death. But if I sell it when I am "cornered", no matter what price I shout, it will look like my reserve price. Well, there is no one who doesn't like to take advantage, you just treat it asIt is a marketing and negotiation tool.”
"It's just that I didn't expect them to attack so quickly... Does it still hurt?" Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand to touch Su Ergou's cheek.
Su Ergou wiped his tears: "My heart hurts."
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Did you understand what I just said?"
"Understood...the recipe is gone—ah——" Su Ergou wailed loudly.
Su Xiaoxiao: You are so lonely after hearing that...
"There will be no pancakes for sale in the future—— oh——"
Su Ergou was extremely sad, feeling that his life was at a loss——
Su Xiaoxiao said patiently: "It can be sold, Jinji sells Jinji, we sell ours, there is no conflict. Besides, even if they take the prescription, they will not cook better than us, but they may give thisA few snacks bring popularity. Besides, the market is so big that there are endless ones, don’t forget that we still have academies’ business.”
"But it will be eaten up soon—we're going to be poor again—"
Su Ergou cried very sadly.
"No." Su Xiaoxiao quickly diverted his attention, "Don't you like to eat preserved vegetables and braised pork? I made a big plate, all of which are yours."
"I can't eat—" Su Ergou sniffed, and looked at his own sister tearfully, "Sister, what did you say you did?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled, and handed a large plate of preserved vegetables and meat and a pair of chopsticks to him: "Eat it while it's hot, and you'll get tired of it when it's cold."
"Sister, you eat too."
"I don't eat, you can eat." She wants to lose weight.
"Oh."
Su Ergou wiped away his tears, and began to eat in a twitch.
——
Coaxing her younger brother for a while, Su Xiaoxiao was sweating all over.
"Coaxing people is physical work."
Having said that, who is the child?
It's harder to coax than three little beans.
Su Xiaoxiao was about to go back to the house and change her clothes, but when she turned her head, she saw three little bean dings standing at the door at some point, poking out three round heads and looking inside.
Very well, Ergou, your image is gone, and you will be a crying uncle from now on.
Su Ergou cried for so long, exhausting his physical strength. At this moment, he was so absorbed in drying his meat that he didn't notice the three little ones eavesdropping on the corner of the wall.
Su Xiaoxiao took San Xiaozhi to the main room, Mei Zi didn't go far, she kept watching them at the door, and when she saw Su Xiaoxiao, she went back shyly.
The three little ones didn’t know where they went to play, and they were sweating profusely.
Su Xiaoxiao came over with a dry towel and wiped the three of them one by one.
"Are you hungry?" she asked.
In the past, the three of them should nod in unison.
Not this time, the three of them looked at her directly.
"What's wrong?" she wondered.
The three of them didn't speak, and ran back to Su Ergou's house.
Su Xiaoxiao only thought they were looking for Su Ergou, and without thinking too much, went back to the house and changed into fresh clothes.
Just when opened the door to go to the stove, saw three little Douding standing in a row at the door holding their own small bundles.
"To mother." Dua said.
"Er Hu, give it to mother too." Er Hu said.
"There is also a small ax (tiger)." Xiaohu also gave Su Xiaoxiao his little baggage.
Su Xiaoxiao looked blank: "Do you want to leave your luggage with me?"
When she saw the three little ones for the first time, each of them held a small bundle like this in their arms.
They were arranged to live in Su Ergou's house, so the burden was placed on Su Ergou's side.
The three of them dragged Su Xiaoxiao into the room, motioning for her to unpack the bundle.
Su Xiaoxiao put three small bundles on the table: "Do you want to change clothes?"
As she asked, she casually opened the first bundle.
belongs to Xiaohu.
Xiaohu stood on tiptoe, and pulled out a small cotton vest in the bag.
Su Xiaoxiao thought he was going to wear this one, and was about to take it over and change it for him, when she saw one of his little hands scratching and scratching at the cotton vest.
picked out a few small pieces of silver.
He threw away the little cotton vest, grabbed a pair of little cotton pants and began to pick.
——and picked out a few small pieces of silver.
Xiaohu picked out a total of more than a dozen small pieces of silver, and Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were all round.
"Mother, mother!" Erhu also wanted to unpack the small package.
Su Xiaoxiao opened it for him in a daze.
He didn't pick in the crevices of his clothes like Xiaohu did.
Instead, he untied his small pocket and took out two gold leaves from inside.
Su Xiaoxiao: "???"
Dahu's cheating is even worse.
His tiger head hat has two layers. After removing the inner layer, he shook out five white silver notes!
Afterwards, he took off his little shoes, and majestically pulled out a token that glowed with black light from under the insole!
Su Xiaoxiao: "...?!"
Su Xiaoxiao's mouth opened wide, but she couldn't close it for a while.
Case solved, case solved.
Papa Su didn’t find a copper coin on Wei Ting, did it turn out to be in the hands of you guys?
No, these scattered small coins and banknotes of different denominations do not seem to be given by Wei Ting, but more like they... hoarded by themselves on weekdays.
Why the word hoard is used, Su Xiaoxiao actually doesn't quite understand, it's just an intuition.
The crisis awareness beyond ordinary people sometimes makes people feel that they are not children who grew up carefree.
Carefree is particularly evident in Niudan next door, while Mei Zi, who has been watching people's faces and living her life, is much more sensible.
To verify her guess, she asked, "Is this money your father's?"
The three shook their heads.
"Does your father know?"
The three shook their heads again.
It seems that I hoarded it and didn't run away.
Are you three little squirrels?The kind that hoards money?
It sounds funny, but Su Xiaoxiao feels sad.
What did the three little guys go through to have such a sense of crisis and the habit of hoarding small money?
Did they hear what Su Ergou said just now, thinking that the family had no money, and worried that she would be hungry, so they took out all the small money they had worked so hard to hoard and gave it to her?
Su Xiaoxiao's heart seemed to be rubbed violently by a big hot hand.
She looked at the three little ones who wanted to give her all their possessions, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Of course she can't ask for their pennies.
Not to mention the flowers she still has temporarily, even if she doesn't have any, she can't covet a few children.
She gently pushed back the small money on the table, touched the heads of the three of them, and said softly: "Da Hu, Er Hu, Xiao Hu, take your small money back."
"To mother." Dua said.
Xiaohu waved his hands earnestly: "Mom, I'm not hungry."
Er Hu patted his belly: "Er Hu, eat less."
They eat less, so as not to let the mother go hungry.
