233: 233 Who is this silly boy from (first update) 233: 233 Who is this silly boy from (first update) Xiaofeng rolled up a pancake filled with brimming eggplant stuffing; it only took two or three bites to finish, with the rich fragrance of chives and the softness of the eggplant lingering on her lips and teeth.
It was delicious to the point of decadence.
“Auntie, you should try so, it’s so fragrant.” Xiaofeng made one for the auntie and handed it over to her.
i Sanying took it and took a bite, “From now on, whenever you want to eat sothing, just tell .
My cooking skills are pretty decent.
As long as you can na it, I can pretty much make it.”
Xiaofeng nodded, “Great, I’ll look forward to Auntie’s cooking in the future.”
She took fifty yuan out of her pocket, “Auntie, you keep this money for now.
Just arrange the daily als since it’s only the two of us at ho.”
She had wanted to give a hundred, but giving that much all at once might have been refused by the auntie.
The auntie didn’t hesitate, already living at soone else’s house, she of course had to take responsibility, “Okay, if you don’t have any dietary restrictions, I’ll cook to normal taste for you.”
“Okay, you decide.” In terms of eating, Xiaofeng really wasn’t picky; anything that went well with rice was fine.
After breakfast, Xiaofeng took the auntie to the market for a stroll, left her with a house key, made sure the auntie knew her way back ho, and then headed to the police station.
When she got there, Chief Hong wasn’t in.
As soon as she gave her na, an officer pulled out a notebook for her to sign, “The captain has instructed that this money should be returned to its rightful owner.
Just sign your na, then count it to make sure the amount is correct.”
Xiaofeng nodded and signed her full na, “Did those guys confess?
What’s the sentence like?”
“The verdict should be out in a few days.
It looks quite severe; they probably won’t be let off lightly.”
Xiaofeng was just making casual inquiries, not really concerned, “Can I see soone?”
“Are you a family mber of the party involved?” the officer asked.
Xiaofeng shook her head, “No, just his employer.”
The officer shook his head, “I’m sorry, Miss Su, without the captain here, we don’t have the authority to allow that.”
Xiaofeng didn’t want to make it difficult for the officer, “Alright, I’ll co back in a few days.” She guessed the results wouldn’t be out that quickly; it would probably take at least three to five days to know.
Having taken the money, Xiaofeng tossed it into the void.
Depositing it in the bank would be too troubleso, and she’d have to withdraw it anyway.
Tossing it into the void was solid—take it when needed, or leave it be, with no one else able to touch it.
“Su Xiaofeng.” As Su Xiaofeng walked down the street, a motorcycle stopped in front of her, and Wu Ershun, looking delighted, greeted her, “I finally ran into you.”
“Ershun, where are you off to?”
“I’m going to see Brother Cheng.” Wu Ershun looked well, “My elder brother’s illness has greatly improved recently.
Mr.
Liu said that at this rate, my brother will recover in less than a month.
So, my mom got two big pig trotters to send to Mr.
Liu as a thank you.”
An elder brother’s recovery was the happiest news for a family.
“That’s really good news, definitely a reason to celebrate.
Go on then, I’m heading back to the factory.”
“Let’s go together.
Don’t you crave Mr.
Liu’s cooking?
I’ve been craving his braised pig trotters for a long ti.
Finally got a chance to indulge, and I must catch it.”
Mr.
Liu’s culinary skills were unmatched by many.
“I’ll pass, I have things to take care of at the factory and can’t leave.” Xiaofeng truly couldn’t get away.
Wu Ershun took out his cell phone, “Really can’t make it?
This is a minor matter.
I’ll call Brother Cheng and ask him to drive down.
We’ll eat at your place at noon, it’s just you alone at ho anyway, the more the rrier,” Wu Ershun said unceremoniously as he started dialing.
Xiaofeng: “….”
In her mind, only one thought echoed, ‘Whose silly kid is this?’
Had she agreed yet?
He had already started making the call.
“Brother Cheng, it’s Ershun.” Wu Ershun spoke bluntly, completely devoid of subtlety, “My mom bought two pig trotters for to bring up to you guys.
I ran into Xiaofeng on the way, and seeing her, a pregnant woman definitely craving at, I thought why not just eat at her place.”
Xiaofeng: “….”
“Okay, you bring Mr.
Liu down, I’ll head to Xiaofeng’s place first.
Okay, I’ll buy so more groceries.” Wu Ershun hung up the phone and seeing Xiaofeng’s complex look, he chuckled, “This saves a trip, and Brother Cheng has agreed, so you can’t say no now.”
“Alright, there’s soone at my house, just bring them directly.”
“Your dad’s co down?”
“It’s an auntie, she’s living with now, taking care of my daily als.”
“So there really is soone at your place, that works too.
I’ll go buy so more groceries, make sure to co back early for lunch.” Wu Ershun patted the back seat filled with a few dozen pounds of pork legs, “See?
Proper substantial stuff.”
Xiaofeng glanced at it, one leg alone must weigh over ten pounds, two would indeed weigh dozens of pounds, she smirked, “True to the landlord’s son, generous enough to bring half a pig at once.”
Wu Ershun rode through the market, bought a fish, and a chicken, and headed triumphantly to Su Xiaofeng’s ho.
From a distance, Zhao Yanhong watched Wu Ershun carrying both chicken and fish, and wondered, “Where is Ershun going with all this stuff?”
Zhang Zerong chid in, “Where else but to thank that old doctor.
I heard from my brother-in-law, they say the elder brother will be well soon.
That elder brother really is lucky, nearly gone, and then this miraculous doctor pulled him back from Ghost Gate.”
“The elder brother is much better than the younger, as long as the elder is fine, the Wu family might look up.
Otherwise, depending on Ershun, who knows what the future of the Wu family would be like.” The elder was steady; the younger was unreliable, hardly the sort to handle big matters.
“Go on, they’re all my sister’s kids, how bad could they be.” Zhang Zerong listened to Zhao Yanhong, not quite agreeing, he squinted, “Why does it look like he’s not heading in the right direction?”
Shouldn’t he take the main road to Lihua Village?
What’s he doing diving into a small alley?
Zhao Yanhong chuckled lightly, “Isn’t it obvious, he must be going to see that Su Xiaofeng.”
One couldn’t deny, she had quite the charm.
If one were a less experienced young man, he might fancy soone like Su Xiaofeng.
