Chapter 62 There is no one more suitable than you
Before dawn the next day, Su Niang took Shiliu and the others to Dongshi. Although Yu Gen was a little silly, he was obedient and very strong. It was much easier for them to have him help carry things.
After shopping for what they needed for today, the four of them returned home in a grayish state. When Su Niang was making noodles, Yu Xing'er ran over and stood beside her with her head tilted to watch. The same was true when she was mixing the stuffing and rolling out the dough.
While waiting for her to wrap the bag, the little girl looked at it more seriously. Su Niang thought that the little girl would stay quiet like this, but unexpectedly, after watching for a while, she suddenly spoke.
"Aunt Su, can I wrap it up?"
Su Niang nodded and handed her some noodles.
Myolie Yu stood next to her and wrapped it carefully. The first one had too much filling, the second one was too strong and the skin was broken, but the third one she had already wrapped properly.
Su Niang glanced at the little girl a few more times, and she turned out to be quite clever.
At the beginning of Mao Shi, Jiang Mingyue walked into the kitchen and asked: "Aunt Su, Pomegranate, what are you doing? It smells so good!"
"Aunt Su and I just went to the East Market and saw a shrimp seller, so we bought some and made shrimp wontons, which will be ready soon."
When Jiang Mingyue heard this, she called her brother up. The two of them had washed up and the wontons were ready.
The wonton skin was very thin and cooked translucent, and you could see the shrimp inside. The soup was milky white, with a little light green oil floating on it. It smelled of a faint aroma. Jiang Mingyue moved her index finger in an instant, and she scooped up a handful. I blew on the wontons and took a small bite. The fillings were not dry at all, they were firm and elastic, and the soup was poured in. They were fresh but not fishy.
"good to eat!"
Jiang Minghong nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Su Niang liked both of them very much, a smile slowly appeared in her eyes.
"Aunt Su, you should go and eat quickly!"
Su Niang said hello, turned and left.
A piping hot wonton went into her stomach. Jiang Mingyue put down the spoon for a moment, called Pomegranate and said: "Put a bowl of wontons in and send it to the next door."
When Jiang Minghong heard this, he looked up at his sister.
The two siblings looked at each other, and Jiang Mingyue said frankly: "He is your future brother-in-law, so naturally I will pay more attention to him."
She scooped up a wonton and blew it, making sure it wasn't hot and handed it to her brother, "But you don't have to be jealous, no matter what, you are the one that my sister cares about the most."
Jiang Minghong took the wonton and said "Hmm".
Next door, Xie Yuan took the wontons from Shiliu and said, "Wait a moment!"
After a while, he handed a bowl of mung bean porridge to Pomegranate.
"For your girl."
"This slave knows!"
Xie Yuan closed the courtyard door and went back to the kitchen to taste some wontons. Well, his cooking skills were indeed good.
In the main hall, Jiang Mingyue took the mung bean porridge and drank it.
Jiang Minghong looked at his sister's bowl with more than half of the wontons left and asked, "Don't want to eat?"
"Eat, but it's so hot now!"
Hearing this, Jiang Minghong scooped up a wonton and blew it to make sure it was not hot and put it into the tea cup. Then he continued to blow and put six wontons in a row. Seeing that the tea cup was full, he pushed it in front of his sister and said, "Eat!"
Jiang Mingyue looked at Jiang Minghong with crooked eyebrows.
"My brother is so kind!"
Repeatedly, Jiang Mingyue quickly swallowed a bowl of wontons. When she put down her chopsticks, she felt a little full. Naturally, she couldn't drink the mung bean porridge, but she didn't waste it and poured it into the bamboo tube. Here, I thought about taking it to Jinxiufang for a drink later.
Jiang Mingyue covered the bamboo cover and said to her younger brother: "You go to the private school first! I'll have a chat with Aunt Su, and then go to Jinxiufang."
"it is good!"
"Don't forget to bring an umbrella. I think the weather is a little bad." Jiang Mingyue looked at her brother and warned.
There was a thunderstorm yesterday, and although it didn't rain, it's cloudy today.
"I know! Sister, too!"
Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm'.
When Jiang Minghong walked out with his schoolbag on his back, he saw Yu Gen following him. He turned to look at him in surprise and asked, "You want to follow me to the private school?"
Yu Gen nodded.
"You are not allowed to make noise in private school, you know?"
"understood!"
"We have to stay in the private school for a day and can't go back until the afternoon. If you feel bored during this period, you can go to Class D to listen. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me at night."
…………
Jiang Mingyue walked out of the main hall without seeing Yu Gen. After asking, she learned that he had followed his younger brother to a private school. She was somewhat surprised that he had adapted to his current life so quickly.
Jiang Mingyue took Su Niang's hand and walked into the main hall and praised: "Aunt Su! Today's wontons are delicious!"
"There are some shrimps at home. If you like it, girl, how about steaming some dumplings tonight?"
"Okay!" Jiang Mingyue said with a smile.
Jiang Mingyue helped Su Niang sit down, took out thirty taels of silver notes and handed them to her.
"Ten taels, as our siblings' daily expenses for one month, Aunt Su will use the remaining money to buy things. If it is not enough, let me know."
"Just give me twenty taels. For daily expenses, I can't spend this much money on buying things."
Jiang Mingyue held her hand and said softly: "Aunt Su, take it! You have to have some money in your hand to take care of things."
She paused and said, "Aunt Su, I have something to ask you for help."
"Girl, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"The thing is like this..."
Jiang Mingyue briefly told Su Niang about her, Xie Yuan, and the situation at home.
"On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year when the matchmaker comes to our house to propose marriage, I hope that you, as my elder, will come forward to entertain her."
Su Niang was slightly shocked when she heard this.
"Girl, this is inappropriate!"
Jiang Mingyue smiled slightly.
"It's suitable. You are now the elder in our family. There is no one more suitable than you."
Su Niang looked at the person in front of her who trusted her wholeheartedly, her heart beat rapidly, and she calmed down before speaking.
"I know! I will definitely entertain a good matchmaker."
"I believe you!"
After agreeing with Su Niang, Jiang Mingyue stood up and said, "I'm going to Jinxiufang, and I'll leave the family affairs to Aunt Su."
"Okay! I'll ask Pomegranate and Xing'er to bring you food at noon."
"I know!"
Jiang Mingyue took the bamboo cup and umbrella and went out. Not long after she arrived at Jinxiufang, there was a strong wind outside, and then the rain fell heavily.
Mr. He closed the door and said, "The rain has fallen, and I suddenly feel a lot cooler. I was suffocated yesterday."
"Looking at the calm looks on your faces, I thought I was the only one who was sultry!"
Jiang Mingyue's words made all three of them laugh. Suddenly, someone pushed open the shop and walked in aggressively.
Jiang Mingyue and the other four looked at the two people who came in, suppressed the smiles on their faces, and started busy themselves.
Han Lanlan glanced at He Shi suggestively and asked her to treat the guests.
Although He was a little reluctant, it didn't show on his face.
"Hey! Was it that gust of wind that brought you here today?"
Wu Mei pushed her away and walked straight towards Jiang Mingyue. Mrs. Zhou smiled apologetically at Mrs. He, followed her mother-in-law quickly, and secretly looked at Jiang Mingyue.
Seeing that Wu Mei's visitor was unkind, He was afraid that Jiang Mingyue would suffer. After looking at each other and Han Lanlan, he walked towards the three of them.
