"That kid from the Smiths is sensible! When you guys first came, I thought that he was just big, but he was actually kind!”
The Deaf Old Lady held Hu Lanying's hand and praised her with a smile.
"I thank the old lady on behalf of the head of the household.”
Hu Lanying smiled politely and turned around to open the bowl. The fragrance of the meat wafted into her nose.
"Aiyo, so much meat!" The old lady exclaimed.
"Yes, I bought two catties of meat today. The fat ones are refined from oil. I'll send you a few more buns later. This meat is very fragrant.”
Hu Lanying handed the chopsticks to the old lady.
Old Mrs. Han leaned closer to the bowl and sniffed it seriously. She revealed a surprised look." Aiyo, it smells so good!"”
"There's so much. Have you eaten yet, Mrs. Smith?”
"Madam, we've already eaten. We wanted to bring it to you just now, but you went out for a walk and haven't returned yet.”
As it was rare to eat oily food these days, and the meat was fat but not greasy, the old lady ate until her mouth was oily and soon, more than half of it was down her stomach.
The old lady put down her chopsticks and burped in satisfaction. She wiped her mouth with a towel and pushed the bowl in front of Hu Lanying.
"Su family's daughter-in-law, this meat smells so good. I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time!”
"Have you eaten dinner? If not, don't despise me and eat these.”
Hu Lanying smiled and shook her head." Old Madam, we're really done. If you don't want to eat, I'll put it away for you."”
"Child, look at how thin you are. You should eat more. Otherwise, how can you give birth to a fat boy for the Smiths? Isn't that right?"
After the old lady finished speaking, she chuckled and looked at her with a smile in her eyes.
Hearing her mention the chubby boy, her cheeks immediately felt as if they were being roasted by a fire. She lowered her head and said shyly,"Old Lady!"
"What's wrong with the old lady?" A voice came from outside the door.”
Su Bai pushed open the door and walked in.
"The Smiths are here!"
The Deaf Old Lady's eyes lit up when she saw him. She extended her hand and beckoned him over to sit.
When Su Bai sat down, she looked at the couple in front of her kindly.
Su Bai pointed at the remaining half of meat in the bowl." Old lady, isn't this meat delicious?”
"It's delicious and fragrant!"
"Then you haven't finished eating?"
The old lady rubbed her belly and smiled at the couple." I'm full!”
"I haven't eaten such delicious meat in a long time. It's not bad. The fat melted in my mouth!”
The old lady was all smiles. Actually, it was not that she could not endure hardship. She just liked the taste of having someone to accompany her. Of course, the meat was really delicious.
However, she attributed this to the children's filial piety and respect for an old woman like her.
"Are you still eating?"
"I'm not eating."
"Wife, please keep it."
"Yes, alright." Hu Lanying did not delay and immediately cleaned up.
Su Bai poured a glass of water for the old lady." Old lady, what were you talking about?”
"Let's talk about when you're going to hug a big fat boy!”
"I'll hug her next year!"
"Aiyo, that's good! When the time comes, you have to give me a hug."
"Of course!"
The more Hu Lanying listened, the hotter her cheeks became. She tugged at Su Bai's clothes: " Boss…"
She didn't expect her boss to answer so straightforwardly.
Also, he hadn't touched her for a long time.
This old lady was a shrewd person. She could tell at a glance.
She did not continue teasing her and changed the topic.
"Su family's daughter-in-law is shy. Let's not talk about it anymore. The two of you decide on your own.”
"Su family, I've heard about your might at the meeting today.”
Su Bai knew she got it from someone else. The yard was not big, and he could smell it even when cooking, let alone this meeting.
Besides, the matter was so big that the police took the stick away. It was difficult not to know.
He waved his hand and shook his head." Aiyo, Old Madam, don't make me look bad. There's no divine power!”
The old lady knocked on the cane in her hand and leaned closer to him." I heard that you caught that thief and sent him to the police?”
"Old Madam, do you think I did the right thing?”
"That's right! If a child did not learn well, he had to be taught a lesson.”
She suddenly pulled a long face and looked outside, seemingly looking in the direction of Qin Huairu's house.
"Heh, you're so wise!"
"Of course."
"Yo, you're not confused at all."
"What? What did you say?"
"Alright!" Su Bai smiled. He knew the old lady was selectively deaf again." I was praising you for being smart.”
"Hey, alright!"
Hu Lanying covered her mouth and burst out laughing when she saw the two of them bickering.
There was a sensible old man in the family who was a living treasure.
"I also heard that Jia Zhang-shi's tantrum was dealt with by you. Well done, she likes to show off her age in this courtyard.”
The old lady pursed her lips and gave him a thumbs up.
Ever since they moved in, she had been free to visit them.
He knew how to repay kindness and would send food over.
After today's incident, she felt that they were not bad. They dealt with things decisively and were not afraid of others when she was in the right.
As he spoke, the door was pushed open.
Grandpa Yi came in with a hot corn paste, a small plate of pickles, and cornbread.
"Old Madam, dinner was made late today. Have you eaten?”
He closed the door and saw Su Bai and his wife again." Su Bai, you're here too.”
"Yes."
"Zhonghai, I've eaten. The meat was sent by the Su family.”
Meat?
Grandpa One was stunned. Could it be that the meat fragrance they smelled came from the Su Bai family?
They only thought of Xu Damao's family. No matter what, it would be Second Master's family.
Su Bai's family didn't expect this.
"Looks like I'm really late. Su Bai, sorry to trouble your family.”
"It's no trouble. The old lady took care of Lanying and me, so it's only right to take care of us.”
"Then, old lady, do you want some more of this porridge?”
"Alright."
The old lady did not reject his good intentions.
Grandpa One saw that the three of them were chatting well, so he did not stay there for long.
When he returned to the middle court, he cast a meaningful glance at Qin Huiru, who was washing the dishes. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not say anything.
As they continued walking forward, Silly Pillar greeted them.
"Grandpa Yi, did you go to the backyard to deliver food to the old lady?”
"Yes, but I was too late. The meat that the Su Bai family gave me was already eaten there.”
Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment. She thought to herself,'So the smell of meat comes from my family.'
The more she thought about it, the more she envied Hu Lanying.
They were both women. How could she marry such a capable man?
Qin Huairu put away the cutlery and returned to the house, only to hear her mother-in-law's nagging.
"The Su family's kid is really heartless. How much more can the Deaf Old Lady enjoy? He actually gave her such good food! She didn't even know to bring it to her house to show respect to me.”
Qin Huairu, whose back was facing Jia Zhangshi, rolled her eyes.
