The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 357 The Landlord in the Variety Show (56)

"Son, what's wrong with you? You're so jumpy." Mother Liu looked at her son, who was smiling sometimes and frowning the next, and was a little confused.

Liu Donglai told his mother about what happened to Su Hong today.

"Su Hong's cousin!" Mother Liu thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that the daughter of the second son of Liu Wu's family in our village?"

"Hey! There is such a thing?" Liu Donglai is one of the younger people in the village, so he doesn't know many things.

Mother Liu nodded and said, "The Liu Wu family was very poor at that time. Neither of their two sons could find wives. Later, Liu Wu's wife gave her second son to the Su family, and only then did she have the money to find a wife for her eldest son."

"Why didn't anyone mention this?" Liu Donglai thought that many people should know about such a big thing! After all, the people in their village were not very tight-lipped.

Liu's mother said somewhat embarrassedly: "This kind of thing hasn't happened in Liujia Village for hundreds of years, but the old patriarch almost drove their family out. I don't know how they begged later, but they stayed in the village.

But from then on, the Liu family only said that they had one son, and when the second son died, no one from Liujia Village showed up.

Liu's mother added, "Oh! By the way, Liu Wu's wife also went to look for her granddaughter later, wanting to take her back to raise her, but the people in Sujia Village disagreed. So the matter was left unresolved."

Over the years, Liu Wu's family has moved away, and few people talk about this matter anymore. Besides, you are all still young, so the younger generation knows even less."

"What a pity!" Liu Donglai sighed, "I heard that girl is very rich. It seems that Su Hong is working for her now. Apart from other things, his 'fiancée' is so beautiful. Who knows who will pay for the bride price."

"You're still giving a dowry to your cousin?" Mother Liu's eyes lit up. "The job and the wife are both settled! Son, go find him too. You're also her cousin, and we're related to the Liu Wu family!"

"This is not good!" Liu Donglai said this, but he was obviously thinking, "Don't let someone chase you away when you come to visit without any relatives or friends."

Liu Donglai expressed his concerns.

Liu's mother patted her chest and promised, "Teach me, your mother. I will take Liu Wu's family with me. Others don't know where she moved to, but I know everything. We can't let the people of Sujia Village take all the advantage."

The Liu mother and son set out to look for Su Xiangran's grandmother and uncle the next day.

On the other side, Su Xiangran and the other two returned to the village around three in the afternoon.

It was a rare quiet day. Su Xiangran looked at the wisteria flowers in the yard and remembered the bamboo cake that Su Jiuxin had mentioned before.

Some saliva was secreted from her mouth. Was it because the original owner missed her Grandma Su, or was she simply greedy?

Su Xiangran climbed up the ladder and cut off a few bunches of well-bloomed wisteria flowers with scissors. She then removed the inedible stamens, washed them, blanched them with water, fished them out, and chopped them for later use.

Then it’s quite simple. Use glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour, white sugar and warm water to make a moist and non-sticky dough.

Add the prepared wisteria flower pieces into the dough and mix thoroughly. The dough, which was white just now, has now turned into a light purple.

With the addition of small flowers dotted around, it looks really beautiful.

Su Xiangran dug out the small basket that her grandmother Su used to use to make cakes.

Divide the flour into small pieces, put them into several small baskets, and then steam them in a pot.

The basket is about half the size of a woman's fist, so the pastries are not too big.

There are some wisteria flower pieces left over from making pastries, and they cannot be wasted.

Su Xiangran cut a few more bunches, and then followed the same method as before, removing the cores, washing, blanching and chopping.

I found another jar and pickled it with a layer of chopped flowers and a layer of sugar.

This way, if you want to make pastries in the future, you will have ready-made ingredients.

After the pastries came out of the pot, Su Xiangran took a few and sent them to Su Jiuxin's house.

"Xiao Ran, you brought me something again!" Su Jiuxin wanted to say a few words out of habit, but when he saw the things in her hand, his throat choked for a moment.

When I was a child, my family was poor!

He is the second child in the family.

It’s not that his parents don’t like him, it’s just that as the second son he is the most likely to be ignored.

Even in bad years, it was normal to go hungry. At this time, Su Jiuxin would be particularly envious of Su Danniu next door.

Although her third aunt only gave birth to her as a daughter, she never beat or scolded her.

Su Danniu always had delicious food in her bag, and Su Jiuxin once thought about becoming the son of his third aunt at that time.

Of course, this idea was later rejected by his mother, who beat him severely.

During the famine years, he managed to survive by relying on the little food that Su Danniu occasionally gave him.

My eldest brother was not as healthy as him and passed away early.

My younger brother joined the army and never came back.

He was the only one who stayed in the village to take care of his parents in their old age.

My later memory of Aunt San was that her daughter and son-in-law turned white overnight after an accident.

The person who was once such a good person has also become crooked.

The Su family fell into poverty, the house was ruined, and the wisteria flowers withered. Su Jiuxin never ate the wisteria basket cake again.
