Gao Xiulan took her daughter to the county city and stroll round. On the way in which again, she went to the commune steel-making base. A number of giant smoke pipes are standing upright, black smoke is at all times popping out, and a few machines are piled up. She didn’t see something helpful, anyway, it was a pile of damaged copper and iron, and a few waste residue from observe.

Seeing these items, Gao Xiulan felt distressed for his or her huge iron pot was certain to be inside.  She doesn’t know what sort of scourge it has grow to be. Anyway, it’s positively even the dregs can’t be acknowledged.

On this place she can’t curse, so she will be able to solely maintain it in her coronary heart and complain about these native cadres who’re playing around.

Su Qinghe was fairly emotional.

So as to meet up with the massive steelmaking in Britain and the USA, each household’s farm instruments and iron pots had been refined.

Right now’s famine years are additionally considerably associated to this side. Alternatively, all of the manpower1The folks, The Labor got here to make metal, and on one other hand, the farm instruments had been smelted. There weren’t many farm instruments left, and the productiveness was naturally low. Later, there was a famine, after which the next cadres made efforts to develop their political achievements. The flamboyant wind, one after the other, has caught up.

Seeing somebody coming, somebody in a inexperienced uniform got here to cease them.

Gao Xiulan shouldn’t be afraid of those folks, her man is a martyr! “I’m in search of my son, Su Ai Dang. We’re from the Sujia Village of the Yellow River Manufacturing Workforce. His sister and I got here to see him.”

Listening to Gao Xiulan’s phrases, the person within the navy uniform nodded and instantly shouted inside.

“Su Ai Dang, your mom, and your sister got here to see you.”

“Coming!” Su Aidang responded excitedly within the crowd and rushed out rapidly. Su Qinghe hadn’t reacted but, Su Aidang had already stood in entrance of her.

Trying on the darkish face however stuffed with power Su Aidang, she earnestly shouted, “Third brother.”

“Sister is absolutely right here.” Su Aidang laughed, “I simply thought I had heard mistaken. My sister shouldn’t be an individual who likes to exit.”

Gao Xiulan mentioned with a stern face, “It’s due to you bastard, haven’t you been again for a very long time? There are scrumptious meals at residence, and your sister is considering you.”

Su Aidang’s was moved instantly, “I knew sister and I had been the closest.”

Su Qinghe smiled, the unique proprietor is certainly the closest to Su Aidang, that’s as a result of Su Aidang gave her meals. When he was at residence, he went as much as the mountains and rivers to get some good meals. Lately, he can nonetheless let the unique proprietor eat some meat every now and then, so how can they not be the closest?

“Brother, I introduced you scrumptious meals, are you able to ask for go away?”

“Sure, it’s okay.” Su Aidang waved his hand casually, “Go, let’s discover a cool place outdoors. This place is scorching.”

After discovering a shade outdoors the steelmaking base, Su Qinghe took out the sorghum breaded meat dumplings made for Su Aidang.

Su Ai-dang took a glance and swallowed, “The place did our household get this?”

“It’s as a result of your sister is succesful.” Gao Xiulan instantly bragged about her daughter. Anyway, it was Su Qinghe’s bravery and selflessness that gave the Su household hope any longer. It gave the Su household hope that they might eat meat every now and then.

“If it weren’t for my disappointment after I was pregnant together with your sister that prompted her to be unwell, she may need been extra profitable than you all.” Gao Xiulan continued to brainwash.

Su Aidang nodded his head hurriedly, agreeing with the fucking2this phrase was actually within the raws. assertion.

Sister is just too pitiful, not solely did she lose her father early, however she additionally had poor well being since she was a toddler. Additionally being laughed at by the villagers.

Su Qinghe checked out Su Aidang and mentioned anxiously, “Brother, you eat, I made it on my own. Do you assume it tastes good? I’m studying cooking at residence just lately, and I’m studying quick. Mother mentioned I’m good. I should be like mother.”

Gao Xiulan felt completely satisfied after listening to this. She felt that her daughter was like her in all places.

Su Aidang was bowled over when he heard Su Qinghe’s phrases, then regarded on the dumpling in his hand, tears stuffed his eyes, his face flushed, after which he lowered his head and took a giant chunk.

Sister made it by herself.

“Brother, is it scrumptious?”

“It’s scrumptious, it’s actually scrumptious.” Su Aidang was happy spiritually and mentally. That is true and honest. Simply as he mentioned it, Su Qinghe’s head crashed. She heard the mechanical sound of the system coming from her head, “Congratulations to the host for getting the unanimous approval of all of the household, and the host’s cooking expertise attain the A-level certified customary. You’ve obtained one piece of kitchen utensils, please proceed to work onerous to finish the B-level evaluation.”

Right now there are folks round, it isn’t good to be distracted from the system however she didn’t count on that the system would give her further rewards. She was secretly delighted and interested in what the system rewarded her.

In entrance of her, Su Aidang had already completed consuming the dumpling in his hand and ate a second one.

Su Qinghe mentioned, “Brother, is there not sufficient meals to eat right here? When will you go residence?”

“There’s some meals, generally some corn truffles, and generally dried candy potatoes. It’s higher than what I eat at residence.” Su Ai-dang swallowed the meals with a face of contentment.

“By the way in which, mother, don’t rush to go away. I saved one thing for my sister. I’ll go to the place the place I reside to get it.”

Su Aidang mentioned and ran away rapidly.

Gao Xiulan was very happy with this, “Fortuitously, you’re good, and got here right here to present your third brother meals. We didn’t go for a visit in useless.”

Su Qinghe: “…” Can’t you consider your daughter as somewhat extra harmless? “Mother, you possibly can’t say that to 3rd brother.”

Gao Xiulan regarded detached, “You’re his personal sister, and it’s best to eat what he has. When a brother has one thing good to eat if he doesn’t give it to his sister, who else will he give it to? Your third brother shouldn’t be married, not like your elder brother and second brother, the 2 white-eyed wolves. Qing’er, they’re your brothers, so it’s best to eat their meals. Keep in mind this, when you don’t eat it, it’s going to go to different ladies. Does your coronary heart damage?”

“…” Su Qinghe felt that she might not take heed to this mom’s brainwashing. There have been cracks in her three views.3The “three views” refers to views on the world, life, and values.

Don’t look forward to her to make her mom change somewhat bit, she herself has been fully remodeled.

Su Qinghe is working onerous to fix her Three Views, and Su Aidang has come over with a small bag. The small material bag was bulging. It seems prefer it’s full of a variety of issues.

Su Aidang gave the material bag to Gao Xiulan, “Mother, that is what I normally save. Sister likes to eat dried candy potatoes so, I maintain some and save them for sister as snacks, and a few corn truffles. Take it residence and provides it to my sister to eat. Due to you guys coming immediately. In any other case, I at all times really feel uneasy about leaving these items. Now the rations are getting much less and fewer every single day we are able to’t get sufficient meals. If I didn’t have a little bit of a fame over right here, I wouldn’t have the ability to maintain issues.”

Su Qinghe didn’t even must ask, the so-called fame, that’s naturally the title of the fist. Her third brother is a well known violent. He treats his mom and sister as heat because the spring breeze however outdoors, he’s a gangster.

The outdated captain Guo Changsheng simply couldn’t management him anymore, so he organized for him to come back out to make metal.

“Aidang, go to work.”

Somebody over there known as Su Aidang to return.

Su Aidang’s face modified out of the blue, and he twisted his physique and shouted, “It’s none of your small business. Do you need to be crushed? My mother and sister are nonetheless right here. What are you yelling about?”

“…Brother, go forward, mother and I are additionally going again.” Su Qinghe persuaded.

“It’s okay, it’s all a bunch of idle grandchildren.” Su Aidang smiled at his sister. “And there’s nothing to do. There’s nothing to observe just lately. It’s simply to pack up some ineffective issues.”

Gao Xiulan was on the facet reckoning the grain that her son had simply handed in. Listening to this, she instantly mentioned, “When you don’t make metal, what about our iron pot, can you come it to us?”

Su Ai pointed at a pile of waste residue, “Mother, there it’s.”

Gao Xiulan’s face out of the blue turned black.

Seeing Gao Xiulan’s black face, Su Aidang instantly mentioned, “Mother, don’t fear, I’ll attempt to get some metal later and see if I can get a pot out.”

Upon listening to this, Su Qinghe hurriedly mentioned, “Brother, don’t do it. It’s a nice crime if caught. In addition to, our household has a technique to get an iron pot,” she regarded again at Gao Xiulan,” Mother, proper, we’ve a manner.”

Gao Xiulan knew she was speaking about her man Su Dagen.

She shouldn’t be prepared to make her son actually commit a criminal offense for a pot. It’s one factor to love them or not, however she gained’t let her son go down the darkish street. “Sure, it’s not a giant deal, your sister and I’ll return to the massive cadres4major official.. That’s a giant cadre, will they lack a pot?”

With the backing, Gao Xiulan is shaking now. That is confidence.

Su Aidang mentioned, “Mother, can it work?”

“Why not, when did your mom deceive you?”

Su Qinghe thought, ‘usually deceiving you.’

Su Aidang shook his head, “Mother, I imagine you. If it doesn’t work, let’s consider a manner, however don’t take sister to be wronged.”

Gao Xiulan waved her hand, “Okay, can I damage your sister?” She stood up and beckoned Su Qinghe, “Qing’er, let’s go residence early. the household remains to be ready for lunch. It’s our mom’s life to run round and work for these heartless brats.”

Su Aidang out of the blue felt responsible. He felt that each his sister and mother had been in such a rush to carry him meals.

Su Qinghe checked out Su Aidang’s expression, and the corners of her mouth stiffened, “Brother, brother, we’ll return. In case you are free, go residence too.”

Su Ai’s eyes reddened sentimentally, and he didn’t appear like the smug man in the beginning.

The distinction was too nice. Su Qinghe rubbed his arms. She actually didn’t understand how her mom brainwashed the three brothers. This one is extra ridiculous than the opposite.

After leaving the steelmaking base, the mom and daughter hurried to the village.

As a result of they had been delayed for some time, it was previous midday once they received residence. 

Similar to final time, once they come again, the entire Su household got here out to greet them.

Gao Xiulan opened the kitchen with out saying a phrase. Then in entrance of everybody, she took out the issues contained in the basket.

Trying on the meat and grain on the range, the entire household was as soon as once more blinded. Actually received the meat and grain…

“Look, our Qing’er can get so many good issues for the household with out going to the bottom, are you able to do it? And you continue to dislike Qing’er for consuming an excessive amount of. You all are black-hearted!”

“Mother, nobody dislikes that sister eats an excessive amount of. I want that my sister eats extra.” Su Aiguo mentioned anxiously. His sister is unwell, after all, she has to eat extra. They used to eat extra when their father was there.

Lin Shuhong lowered her head with a responsible conscience. She didn’t say that the sister ate an excessive amount of, she simply felt that her daughter ate much less.

Su Aihua mentioned, “Mother, what do I take into consideration my sister, don’t you already know? If anybody dares to say that my sister shouldn’t be good, I’ll whip them up!”

Ding Guihua pursed her mouth subconsciously.

Gao Xiulan checked out her two daughters-in-law and snorted coldly, “Who is considering it, I do know it in my coronary heart.”

Su Qinghe didn’t need to watch the household conflict, she additionally wished to return to the room and see how her cooking expertise had been upgraded. “Mother, it’s so late, let’s prepare dinner and eat. I’ll return to the home and relaxation immediately.”

Listening to that Su Qinghe shouldn’t be cooking, Gao Xiulan mentioned anxiously, “What’s mistaken, are you drained? Due to these unscrupulous folks, you’re drained.”

Each Su Aiguo and Su Aihua checked out her. The eyes had been stuffed with guilt and self-blame.

Su Qinghe: “…it’s okay, I simply cooked earlier than. Now I really feel bored so, I’ll take a relaxation immediately.”

Gao Xiulan felt distressed, “It’s okay if you’ll not do, you are taking a superb relaxation. I don’t agree with you to do that anyway. You aren’t in good well being, how will you serve the household?” Turning round, she barked to her two daughters-in-law. “Why don’t you hurry up and make dinner? You’re nonetheless ready in your sister-in-law to serve you. You’ve been consuming for a number of days, you wished to be served on a regular basis.”

Lin Shuhong and Ding Guihua hurriedly brushed the pot and began the fireplace.

Gao Xiulan went to kind out the meat and sorghum noodles.

When Su Qinghe left the kitchen, she nonetheless listened to Gao Xiulan’s directions, “First give Qing’er a bowl of pork gnocchi. She is absolutely drained immediately. So that you can eat a chunk of meat, she labored onerous…”

Again within the room, she closed the door and lay on the mattress, and entered the system web page together with her eyes closed.

Her two facet duties, cooking and making garments, the column of cooking duties exhibits ongoing, however the phrase B seems after the duty outcome, that’s to say, she has entered the B-level evaluation stage.

The talent level bar has additionally modified,

clothes: 0

meals (stage B): 0

housing: 0

transportation: 0

The cooking talent factors are all cleared as a consequence of upgrades. And Su Qinghe clearly felt that her improved cooking expertise nonetheless exist, and now that she is allowed to prepare dinner, she will be able to additionally make a meal proficiently.

Subsequently, it’s regular to reset the info after the improve.

After studying these, she went to see the rewards in her cupboard space.

As quickly as she opened it, Su Qinghe noticed the picture of a giant iron pan inside, and the system additionally got here out and launched, “Non-stick chrome steel huge iron pan. As a navy spouse who is aware of learn how to prepare dinner, how can she lack an iron pot? I hope the host can use it as a lot as doable and prepare dinner meals full of affection in an iron pot.”

Seeing that it was an iron pot, Su Qinghe was nonetheless somewhat bit misplaced. She thought that the rewards after the improve had been some magical gadgets, however she didn’t count on it to be a giant iron pot… It didn’t appear mistaken.

Properly, a pot is a pot. Su Qinghe felt that her glass coronary heart was being strengthened once more, and he or she mentioned, “Is that this your interstellar product? Is there any magical energy? If I’m going boil water can it style like that of the mountains and the ocean?”

“Host, please be aware that within the preliminary stage, the merchandise that the host obtains are all merchandise of this period. If the host desires to acquire a higher-level product, please proceed to work onerous to finish the duty.”

Increased-level merchandise? Su Qinghe’s heartbeat sped up, “What else?”

“Please make persistent efforts. After finishing the B-level duties, the host will obtain higher-level product rewards. The system prompts that the B-level evaluation requirements are as follows, ‘As a B-level culinary proprietor, how will you not know learn how to prepare dinner well-known dishes? Please, host, be taught to make ten well-known dishes. The system will consider it and for every certified dish, the host will get one talent level. After acquiring ten mission talent factors, the host’s cooking stage shall be upgraded routinely. The host will obtain the mission reward.”

Su Qinghe was poured by chilly water, “The place do I’m going to be taught ten well-known dishes? On this period, there aren’t any knowledge about this.” Now, the best chef might be the grasp chef within the authorities cafeteria, holding a big spatula to make a giant pot of rice. A very powerful factor is that she will be able to’t even eat it, so how can she nonetheless discover well-known dishes?

“Host, relaxation assured, this method will present the recipes. Please host go to the cupboard space to test.”

“…” Su Qinghe instantly went to the cupboard space. Certain sufficient, there was a recipe ebook with greater than ten well-known dishes. There are virtually all well-known dishes from throughout China. There’s a guide5recipe, so long as she practices a number of extra instances, it is going to be sufficient. No downside. Nevertheless, one factor is essential, “What in regards to the substances?”

“Hosts, please be aware that there are two channels for acquiring substances: one, the host should purchase them on the market on their very own. Two, you possibly can acquire them from the system by means of cooking duties.”

Properly, there are alternatives, and there’s nothing mistaken with this. The issue is that these days there could be no selection. Other than cooking to get the substances, the place else can she go get these?!

Su Qinghe shut down the system silently. The system wished her to prepare dinner once more. She wouldn’t be deceived. Anyway, now that she has simply taken one thing out, she has to relaxation for 2 days.

As quickly as Su Qinghe opened her eyes, she heard Gao Xiulan’s knock on the door, “Qing’er, are you asleep? It’s time to eat.”

She hurriedly received up and opened the door, and regarded on the bowl with noodles and meat in Gao Xiulan’s hand.

Behind Gao Xiulan, a number of youngsters had been taking a look at them. Gao Xiulan glanced again, and the kids ran away.

She turned her head and checked out Su Qinghe fortunately, “Go inside and eat the noodles. You haven’t had white noodles for a very long time. It’s the identical white noodles from final time, it’s scrumptious. Strive it.”

Su Qinghe took the bowls and chopsticks and circled to go inside, adopted by Gao Xiulan.

Su Qinghe put the bowls and chopsticks on the desk and mentioned to Gao Xiulan, “Mother, do the others have something to eat?”

“Sure, the meat slices are boiled. It’s scrumptious. Who has such good issues?”

Gao Xiulan thinks the meals is fairly good now.

“Mother, what I imply is, since there’s somebody at residence to subsidize the meals, let everybody eat somewhat higher. Particularly the kids, they’re rising up if the meals is just too dangerous they won’t develop up properly sooner or later.”

Su Qinghe felt that even when she didn’t have a coronary heart for the younger, she ought to give the youthful ones extra meals for the sake of her brothers who had given her their hearts and souls.

Gao Xiulan disagrees, “How can they not develop? Aren’t they rising properly? What number of youngsters in our village have been thrown out? It’s that our household hasn’t thrown any youngsters but. The household has solely had this a lot meals and among the white rice, and I can’t go to the bottom to earn work factors. What can I do in the event that they eat a lot? If we feed them an excessive amount of, our household must drink northwest wind.6means having nothing to eat due to poverty.“

“Mother, isn’t this my father’s subsidy? These are his grandchildren, so let’s maintain them as a lot as doable. Don’t give rather a lot, just a bit greater than traditional, in order that the kids can eat greater than traditional. What do you assume? In spite of everything, I nonetheless rely on them to be filial to their aunt sooner or later. In the event that they eat much less, they won’t develop properly sooner or later. The place will they get the energy to work?”

“…Is sensible.” Gao Xiulan felt that her daughter nonetheless had a long-term view. “Okay, I’ll give them extra meals sooner or later. I’ll speak to your dad tonight, let him ship extra meals over. I don’t need this heartless man to disregard us once more. Oh, and the massive iron pot. I’ve to remind your father to ship one. I don’t know if he’ll go to my room immediately.”

Listening to this Su Qinghe’s had chills, why did I inform such a lie earlier than…

On the lunch desk, Gao Xiulan let a number of youngsters eat semi-dry mash, and gave an additional piece of meat. In fact, the corresponding factor is that the meat within the grownup bowl has been decreased.

However the two pairs of oldsters had been nonetheless shocked by Gao Xiulan’s habits.

Normally, they offer the meals within the bowl to the women themselves, and they are going to be scolded by Gao Xiulan. Right now, she took the initiative to present.

Gao Xiulan mentioned with a black face, “It’s as a result of Qing’er is pondering of you little brats. Now that there’s meat at residence, I’ll allow you to eat extra. Don’t neglect the goodness of your aunt, you white-eyed wolves.”

A number of youngsters nodded hurriedly.

Lately, their aunt has allow them to eat meat, all of them keep in mind it.

Su Aiguo and Su Aihua had been touched once more.

Nevertheless, Ding Guihua checked out Lin Shuhong, at all times feeling somewhat uncertain. Irregular, too irregular.

On the way in which to work within the afternoon, Ding Guihua secretly went to Lin Shuhong, “Sister-in-law, which play do you assume she is singing7Who is she performing for? ?” Though she normally runs in opposition to Lin Shuhong in entrance of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, at important moments, she nonetheless is aware of who’s she with.

Lin Shuhong mentioned nervously, “Did mother is aware of that I need to separate, so she did this intentionally to check us?” After talking, she regarded terrified, “It’s over, will Mother punish me?”

Ding Guihua checked out her hopeless look, and her face out of the blue grew to become black. This isn’t a giant deal. With this head, she nonetheless desires to separate and daydream.

“Everytime you really feel like criticizing anybody … simply keep in mind that all of the folks on this world haven’t had the benefits that you just’ve had.”
