Chapter 9 - 09 Mom found you a good marriage prospect
He Ximei's ideas were also in vain.
If it weren't for Old Crook Su not agreeing, Xiaofeng, that girl, would have already become the bride of the Li Family's youngest son.
In other matters, she might be able to make decisions for Old Crook Su, but Xiaofeng was Old Crook Su's lifeblood; if he didn't nod his approval, she couldn't make decisions for Xiaofeng.
Although the kitchen was simple, He Ximei was diligent, keeping everything neat and tidy, which still looked quite acceptable. She originally came from a rural background, so cooking and starting a fire were no problem for her; she found some matches, lit a fire, and started washing the pot and cooking rice.
There happened to be a few unwashed sweet potatoes nearby, which she washed, chopped, and added to the pot with the rice to cook together.
"Sister," Su Peng barged in carelessly. "Are you making sweet potato porridge? It smells great."
"Brother, where are the eggs at home?" Previously, when Su Peng spoke to Su Xiaofeng, she wouldn't bother with him. The original host thought that Su Peng was up to something by being nice to her, she wouldn't speak a single word to Su Peng outside, and would ignore him at home whenever possible.
Hearing Xiaofeng calling him "Brother," Su Peng almost jumped for joy: "I'll go get them."
After the porridge was ready, Su Xiaofeng made some omelette pancakes with the rice flour at home, which smelled delicious. Su Peng sniffed the omelette pancakes and showed a big happy face. "It smells so good."
Su Xiaofeng took out a few bowls, served the pancakes and porridge on the table, and handed Su Peng a pair of chopsticks. "Eat."
"You eat too." Su Peng was pleasantly surprised, not expecting Xiaofeng to be so kind to him.
