Su Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, looking clearly at the person disrupting her beautiful dream.
"Brother is a bigwig? What kind of tacky na is that? This totally screams ’stinky poor’. If anyone was truly rich, who would choose such an utter nouveau riche na?"
She stared at the na on screen, clicked on the private ssage.
Feeling puzzled, she wondered when she added such a dumbass; this na is so middle school-ish.
Brother is a bigwig: Miss, are you there?
Brother is a bigwig: Miss, I’ve recently slaughtered quite a few pigs at the factory, and pig blood isn’t valuable, too lazy to sell it, do you want it? If you do, I’ll mail it to you for free.
Brother is a bigwig: I also have plenty of large bones, perfect for making soup in this weather. If you like, I can send you a hundred pounds.
Brother is a bigwig: Miss, are you asleep?
Brother is a bigwig: Let know when you see this, I don’t have much space to store, I need to deal with it in the next couple of days.
Large bones, fresh pig blood!
Su Xiaoxiao’s drowsiness imdiately vanished, making a sudden leap from the bed.
This isn’t so poor guy; it’s clearly her God of Wealth, a balding elder brother.
Speaking of which, this balding elder brother changed his online na and avatar, she nearly didn’t recognize him.
Afraid that she’d miss out on free stuff if delayed for even a second, she excitedly rubbed her hands like a fly: "Brother, I’m here, just saw it, sorry, I love both pig blood and large bones."
She originally wanted to type love three tis, but worried about being too forward and scaring others, she cautiously deleted the latter two.
The elder brother wasn’t asleep yet, replying instantly: "Miss, tell , is a hundred pounds of pig blood and a hundred pounds of large bones enough for you?"
Su Xiaoxiao was nearly moved to tears, and if she saw him in person, she’d undoubtedly kneel to the balding elder brother.
Such a kind person! A truly kind person!
The shipping cost alone would be quite a bit.
Feeling a little embarrassed, she hurriedly replied: "Brother, why don’t I cover the shipping fee myself? Taking so much from you and making you pay for shipping, it pricks my conscience."
Brother is a bigwig: "Miss, please don’t stand on ceremony with . Were it not for your sausage recipe, I wouldn’t be able to afford a mansion worth millions now."
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
This elder brother is truly flaunting a bit much!
She quietly counted the remaining balance in her wallet, no longer insisting on covering the postage.
Initially thinking she could be considered a wealthy lady these days, unexpectedly, well, let’s not even go there.
Having chatted with the balding elder brother for a while longer, Su Xiaoxiao really couldn’t hold on any longer, said good night to him, and logged off to sleep.
Mainly because the more they chatted, the more worried she beca, with him bragging about his sports cars and villas the whole ti.
It’s truly causing so feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Before Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep, she thought about saving more money, then going to Beijing to buy a traditional courtyard, waiting for it to appreciate, and outclass those living in villas.
This balding elder brother is indeed generous; Su Xiaoxiao originally thought he’d send her the stuff through regular shipping, but unexpectedly, he chose the most expensive courier.
Shipping overnight, early the next morning, while Su Xiaoxiao was still in a sleepy haze, she received a delivery notice.
Glancing at the clock, it was only five in the morning.
So early, she was not willing to brave the cold to get the delivery.
Fortunately, she had set the delivery address near her ho; she could pick it up anyti.
Turning over, she buried her head in the quilt and continued to sleep until she was awakened by the familiar alarm, only then did she stretch lazily and get out of bed.
Just as she prepared to head out to wash up with bleary eyes, she was enticed by the alluring fragrance from the main room.
Rubbing her eyes and looking over, she saw a plate of golden crisp fried fish on the table.
Ever since coming to this era, she hadn’t had fried fish for a long ti and couldn’t help but drool.
This thing is such an oil drainer, and Liu Cuilan normally wouldn’t spare the oil cost.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but drool again, feeling the craving worms in her stomach being irresistibly tempted.
Su Jianwen and Su Jianwu, also sporting disheveled hair, ran out from their room, their eyes lit up upon seeing the fried fish on the table.
"Third sister, is today New Year?"
Su Jianwu reached out his dirty fingers, eager to snatch a piece of fried fish to eat.
The fish was coated in a layer of egg batter, golden and appeared crispy and tasty.
Before his hand touched the edge of the plate, another hand rudely slapped the back of his hand: "Can’t we eat sothing nice without it being New Year? This is thanks to your third sister’s blessing. Don’t forget how good your third sister is in the future."
After speaking, Liu Cuilan continued, "Go wash your hands, so dirty."
Su Jianwu blinks and asks: "Mom, does that an once our hands are clean, we can eat?"
"Or would I fry them as decorations?"
Leaving that remark, Liu Cuilan turned to return to the kitchen for other dishes.
The two little brothers imdiately celebrated and rushed off as if competing.
In no ti, they were back in the main room.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao still standing in place, they urged: "Third sister, hurry and wash your hands, or when we finish eating, don’t cry about it."
They said as they impatiently grabbed a piece each, gnawing eagerly.
As they chewed, they made tsk-tsk sounds, which made Su Xiaoxiao crave even more.
She quickly went to wash up, taking a seat at the table.
At this mont, Xu Zhaodi and Su Pan were setting bowls of porridge and chopsticks on the table.
Liu Cuilan then walked in with a plate of tomato scrambled eggs.
Normally, the Su Family’s breakfast consisted mainly of cornal mush or cornbread paired with pickled veggies or sauteed greens.
Such a table of dishes with fish and eggs was rare.
Even the porridge was fragrantly rice porridge.
"Old third, eat more, you’ve been..."
Liu Cuilan initially intended to say she’d gotten skinny from being tired these days, wishing to nourish her little daughter well, but upon seeing Su Xiaoxiao’s face, apart from the dark circles, even a bit chubbier, she stopped midway.
"Eat up, or the fourth and fifth will snatch it all."
She said, casually placing the largest piece of fried fish on Su Xiaoxiao’s plate.
"Thank you, mom."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and picked it up, taking a big bite.
Crispy outside, tender inside, one bite and the aroma nearly made her tongue fall out.
For a while, the table was filled only with the crunching sound of chewing, everyone enjoying their al to the fullest.
Su Xiaoxiao drank a whole bowl of rice porridge, ate several pieces of fried fish and eggs, then rubbed her round belly and burped contentedly.
This al was truly satisfying.
After thanking Liu Cuilan, she rushed to the departnt store on her bicycle.
Hurrying along, she managed to arrive at the destination right before work hours.
As she stood stationed at the grocery counter, yet to fully catch her breath, she noticed Manager Liu Changjiang of sales walking in with a radiant face.
Passing by the grocery counter and seeing her, his expression seed to briefly stiffen before quickly carrying on nonchalantly.
Seeing him say nothing and leave, Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled, "today’s behavior is unusual, he didn’t put on his authoritative deanor and lecture , that’s odd!"
Just as she thought about it, her elbow was gently nudged.
Zhang Yulan looked at Liu Changjiang’s departing figure and gestured with her mouth: "Xiaoxiao, you’re finally back, if you didn’t return, your achievent would have been shalessly claid by Manager Liu!"
