45 Sweet and Delicious
Su Binglan knew Liu Yinyin lived frugally and couldn’t even bring herself to buy a single piece of clothing for a whole year.
Su Binglan’s predecessor was a spendthrift, so Liu Yinyin had no choice but to live her life that way. Otherwise, Liu Yinyin’s entire family would have nothing to eat.
Su Binglan even suspected that when her elder brother had chosen his wife, he chose someone who could live the same way he did just to save more money for the family.
However, according to her predecessor’s memory, Su Binglan knew her elder brother and sister-in-law had an excellent relationship, so she was relieved.
Liu Yinyin was kind-hearted and had a straightforward personality. She was like a little white rabbit. Fortunately, the Sus were kind people.
They treated Liu Yinyin well and did not bully her. It was a stroke of luck for her to be living with the Sus.
Of course, the Su family’s only high-quality products belonged to Su Binglan’s predecessor. Su Binglan knew the soul of her predecessor had utterly dissipated. It had left this world and no longer existed.
It was bizarre. The dark aura within the predecessor’s soul seemed to have gotten purified.
After the chestnut started emitting a fragrance, Su Binglan stir-fried it for a bit longer before asking Liu Yinyin to put out the fire.
Su Binglan covered the pot and left it to simmer for a while. After that, she scooped the chestnuts out.
When Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were eating the french fries earlier, neither could barely bring themselves to finish the food. The two ate slowly, savoring the delicious food.
The two boys had also secreted some of the french fries away. They wanted to give it to their mother to eat at night.
Although the boys were young, they were very sensible. They remember that their mother often did not eat when they ate and only drank a little soup.
The boys knew that their mother would be hungry. So sometimes, when the elders gave them snacks, they would save some to give to their mother to eat at night.
At this time, the two children smelled yet another delicious fragrance. The two looked toward the chestnuts that Su Binglan served, their eyes shining.
After eating the fries, the boys discovered that their aunt’s cooking was delicious. However, their parents had taught them that they could not reach out and ask for food. So even though the two of them smelled the fragrance and looked ravenous, they held back and did not speak.
Su Binglan observed the two children and could not help but laugh. She felt they were genuinely sensible and cute.
Su Binglan gave the boys a friendly smile and said, “Come, I’ve made some delicious food for you. Please, call me Aunt Binglan.”
The two said obediently, “Yes, Aunt Binglan.”
Su Binglan’s heart melted when she heard the two call out in their sweet child-like voices. Her smile became increasingly brighter.
Su Binglan personally peeled the chestnuts and handed the kernel to the two boys. “Open wide.”
The two obediently opened their mouths and ate the chestnut kernels.
Su Binglan looked at the two with an expectant gaze and said, “Is it good?”
Su Xuehai thundered, “It’s delicious, Aunt Binglan!”
All children liked to eat sweet things. These chestnuts were sweet, and thus the children naturally liked them. On top of that, the two children usually didn’t have much good food to eat. Having eaten the candied chestnuts, they felt they were delicious.
After Su Xuexuan ate one, he didn’t eat anymore.
Su Binglan asked, “Why aren’t you eating anymore? Is it not good?”
Su Xuexuan said very seriously, “Aunt Binglan, can I give some to my mother? She doesn’t usually eat. She must be hungry.”
When Liu Yinyin heard this, she was extremely touched. Her child was genuinely sensible, but she feared that such words would anger Su Binglan.
“How can you talk to your aunt like that?” Liu Yinyin chastised, “Your aunt is kind enough to give you food. Think of your aunt first when you eat.”
