Chapter 221 - 221 White Flour

221 White Flour
Liu Chengwen said smilingly, “I’m just afraid you’d starve to death, and then I’d have to mourn you.”
“All you know is to joke around!” Feng Sisi’s face turned red.
Liu Chengwen knew how to coax his wife, especially when she was stubborn. Therefore, their relationship was harmonious.
Feng Sisi collected herself and knocked on the door. “Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, we’re home!”
Mrs. Liu replied, “We didn’t lock the door. Just open it.”
The younger couple opened the door and entered the courtyard. Liu Chengwen and Feng Sisi were shocked to see the oxcart as they looked at each other, wondering if guests were in their home.
Feng Sisi’s expression changed when she saw Liu Yinyin at the stove.
‘Why is she here again?’ That was the first thought that appeared in Feng Sisi’s mind. However, she managed to force a smile, saying, “Yinyin, you’re home.”
“Hello there, Sister-in-law,” Liu Yinyin responded smilingly.
Mrs. Liu said, “Yinyin brought many things with her this time, including these dumplings. We can have a good meal with her soon.”
Feng Sisi did not believe that her little sister-in-law had brought many things with her. Mrs. Liu noticed Feng Sisi’s expression and could guess what she was thinking.
However, she knew her daughter-in-law was not a dishonest person. Instead, her face revealed everything, making it easy for her to get along with Feng Sisi.
Mrs. Liu continued, “Yinyin’s family is improving. Wenzhe has opened a shop in town, and that oxcart you saw belongs to the Su family. Also, Xuexuan and Xuehai started going to school recently. Yinyin even brought some fabric for us to make new clothes.”
Although her daughter had given them fabric, Mrs. Liu still wanted to make clothes for her only daughter so she could recite Liu Yinyin’s good wishes.
Everyone eventually grew old, and Liu Yinyin would inevitably need her brother and sister-in-law to look after her whenever she returned. Therefore, Mrs. Liu wanted to make something for her daughter to remember her.
Mrs. Liu would let Feng Sisi recite Liu Yinyin’s good wishes. Then Liu Yinyin could have a good life, and Feng Sisi would welcome her whenever she returned.
Her daughter-in-law was not bad. Feng Sisi was straightforward, had a good heart, and knew how to treat others. Otherwise, Mrs. Liu would not have chosen Feng Sisi to be Liu Chengwen’s wife.
Feng Sisi was stunned as she wondered if her sister-in-law had genuinely improved. It had not been long since Liu Yinyin left to live with the Su family, yet she had changed so much. She even brought fabric home to her family.
Feng Sisi looked at the fabric and knew how rare it was. “Yinyin, you came home and even brought something for me? I don’t know how to thank you.”
She was sincerely smiling when she said that. It had been a long time since she had made new clothes for herself.
Liu Yinyin said softly, “My mother was just telling me how hardworking you are and that you are good to her and my father. She also said this fabric color suits you because of your fair skin. You will undoubtedly look good when you make new clothes with this fabric.”
Women would always be happy whenever one praised them for looking good. Feng Sisi smiled wider as she felt a little embarrassed. “Your mother is the one who treats me well. Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, please rest. Chengwen and I will take over.”
Indeed, she was perceptive. She hurriedly washed her hands and took the plate from her mother-in-law to help Liu Yinyin.
Liu Chengwen went to the stove to keep the fire lit so his father could rest.
Liu Yinyin began to tell her sister-in-law about the dumplings and taught her how to cook them. Feng Sisi’s eyes lit up as she watched and listened on the sidelines. She thought the dumplings would be delicious.
Even if they were not, she would still feel good if she ate food made with white flour. She also wanted to eat the dumplings because the family always ate coarse grain buns.
Feng Sisi would feel terrible if she used white flour to cook. However, her sister-in-law had brought something unique for the family to eat, and Feng Sisi would not feel bad about eating them.
She also wanted to bring some to her son. However, he was an apprentice carpenter in another village and would not return for a while. She thought her son would be happier to eat the dumplings than she would be.
Now that her son was eating out there, Feng Sisi did not know if she should eat these dumplings. She would feel guilty and uneasy whenever she ate delicious food at home.
Liu Yinyin looked at her sister-in-law’s expression and knew what she was thinking. She said, “Sisi, I brought plenty of white flour. I’ll teach you and Mother how to make dumplings after we’ve had lunch. Then you can make some for Liu Heng and send them to him.”
Liu Heng was Feng Sisi and Liu Chengwen’s son.
Now, Feng Sisi was sincerely grateful to her sister-in-law. “You’re so thoughtful, Yinyin. Please come home whenever you have the time. Your father and mother will miss you.”
She had always said these kinds of words as a courtesy in the past, but she was sincere now.
Liu Yinyin laughed and said, “My husband and I are so busy these days since we’ve opened a shop in town. I’ll try to come over, but I don’t know when that will be. Still, I will return and visit my parents whenever possible.”
Feng Sisi listened attentively and thought that her sister-in-law was competent. She even wanted to take advantage of Liu Yinyin.
Fortunately, she did not lose control and say anything unnecessary whenever Liu Yinyin stayed there in the past. Things would be more awkward now if she did.
The whole family was shocked when they ate the dumplings in the afternoon. They discovered how delicious the dumplings were, and everyone ate large servings.
Feng Sisi could not stop praising them, “These dumplings are terrific!”
That was because the dumplings had meat inside, and she had not eaten meat for a long time.
The meat was still fragrant. The family happily chatted as they ate the delicious dumplings.
…
Meanwhile, on the Su family’s side, Su Wenxiu slept until noon before waking up. He felt comfortable because he had slept soundly. He stretched lazily. “Ahh, it’s been long since I slept so well. Sleeping on a warm bed at home just hits the spot.”
His parents told him to sleep more last night, but he did not expect to sleep until noon.
Su Wenxiu hurriedly washed up and went to his parent’s place. After eating lunch with his family, he went to town.
His sister-in-law went to her parent’s house for two days, so he went to help Su Wenzhe at his shop in town.
Su Binglan made some snacks in the morning for Su Wenxiu to bring to the dessert shop. She was at ease since Lin Zheng and the others were watching the shop.
She had just returned from her journey and wanted to spend more time with her parents at home.
Shen Qiuhua usually ground soybeans in the afternoon, but she could relax more now that they had the little donkey to help her with that.
Su Binglan sat on the stool and looked at Su Fengmao. “Father, let me see your foot.” She touched the bone on her father’s foot as she spoke, “I will prepare some bone-mending ointment and medicine for you over the next few days. Then I will perform surgery on your foot, okay?”
“Okay, I’ll follow your lead.” Su Fengmao was highly confident in his daughter’s medical skills. He knew his foot would recover soon, and then he could do many things.
Su Binglan spent the afternoon at home making the ointment with medicinal herbs. Luo Jin’an wanted to help her with some things, but she told him to rest. Since that was the case, he spent most of his time reading.
When Luo Jin’an looked up, he could see his wife’s busy figure. It made him feel at ease.
…
Su Zhengde led his team to continue building the Su family’s new house. However, he needed something and went to Su Fengmao’s house to get it.
When Su Zhengde saw his niece, he happily said, “Binglan, the bricks you told me about are very handy! Many people come to me regarding the bricks; some even want to buy them from me.”
