General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Scheming

The three little ones were pragmatic. After serving their father, they shook their heads and ran to the kitchen to look for Su Xiaoxiao.

There was no reluctance to leave! Wei Ting's mouth twitched.

Little bastards…

Su Xiaoxiao was talking to Little Wu at the back door of the kitchen.

Today, Su Cheng was going to settle the Cheng family's matters, so Su Xiaoxiao entrusted the three children to Little Wu.

In return, she gave Little Wu some food.

Little Wu said, "I haven't finished the pancakes you gave me this morning."

"Were they delicious?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"D-delicious," Little Wu said.

She was not being polite. It was sincere praise.

Once, when her sister-in-law was sick, she accompanied her mother-in-law to the neighboring village for a meal. She heard that they had invited a chef from town. It was the best meal she had ever eaten.

However, she felt that Fatty Su's pancakes were no worse than that chef's.

Su Xiaoxiao handed her a covered bowl. "These are crushed and not easy to sell. If you don't mind, take them back for the children."

Little Wu wanted to continue rejecting her, but Su Xiaoxiao glared at her and obediently took the bowl.

She only opened the bowl after returning to her kitchen.

Although they were said to be broken pancakes, there were actually only very slight cracks. Such pancakes were still sold in the market.

Not only were there three pancakes in the bowl but there was also a large piece of fat and thin braised meat under it.

The family could barely afford two meals of meat in a month. Basically, the meat would be prioritized for her father-in-law, second brother, and Niudan. Her mother-in-law and second sister-in-law, Madam He, could occasionally get a piece of meat, but she and her daughters had not tasted meat for half a year.

With the meat filling in the pancake that Fatty Su gave her this morning and what she had just received, had she actually eaten two meals of meat in a day?

… .

Liu Shan's family did not say anything about Little Wu taking care of the Su family's children. The Su family was domineering, so it was not surprising that they would make people to take care of their children.

If Little Wu didn't do it, would he let Madam He and Big Wu do it instead?

Even though Little Wu had to take care of the children, she did not miss out on any work.

In the kitchen, the three children surrounded the stove and stood on their tiptoes to look into the pot.

However, they were not as tall as the stove and could not get a proper glimpse.

"Mother," Xiaohu said as he looked at Su Xiaoxiao's chopping board. "Xiaohu, eat."

Su Xiaoxiao mischievously picked up a sliced green onion and fed it to him.

Xiaohu opened his mouth and took a bite. He frowned and stuck out his tongue.

Su Xiaoxiao laughed uncontrollably.

Having seen Xiaohu testing the onion, the other two were no longer interested in the things on the chopping board. They turned to look at the leftover shortbread in the basket on the small table.

They had eaten shortbread this morning. It was delicious.

But now, they didn't want to eat this because just now, all three pastries had been licked by Xiaohu.

"Sister! I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?" Su Ergou walked into the kitchen.

Dahu grabbed the basket on the small table and handed it to Su Ergou. "Uncle, eat."

"Aren't you eating?" Su Ergou asked.

Dahu and Erhu shook their heads. Xiaohu was still sticking out his tongue in disgust.

"Oh, then I'll eat it!" Su Ergou held the basket in one hand and stuffed a pastry into his mouth with the other.

"Eh? Why is it a little damp…"

Father Su had gone to settle the Cheng family's matters and would probably only return at night.

Su Xiaoxiao made fried onion and kidney, crispy meat, stir-fried vegetables, and steamed egg custard.

She had steamed a big bowl previously, but the three little ones didn't like it. They liked to pack it in small wontons and each had a portion.

Su Ergou and Wei Ting were also involved.

"Ergou, serve the dishes."
