Chapter 6  : It’s too Delicious

“Big sister, it’s so delicious. I’ve never had such a yummy pancake before. The eggplant is even better.”

“Sob, sob…” Little sister Su’s reaction was even more exaggerated. She wept as she ate. “It’s too delicious! Sob, sob…”

Su Wen was dumbfounded. “Is it as exaggerated as you guys say? It’s just that I added more oil.” Nowadays, no one could bear to use oil for cooking. Of course, the dishes that were cooked would not taste good without salt and oil. And fried eggplant used up the most oil. It would definitely not taste good without oil.

“No way! It was just that Big sister’s cooking is delicious. I’ll be satisfied if I can eat it for the rest of my life.”

Su Wen’s heart ached when she heard this, and her eyes turned red. She swore to herself that, since she had transmigrated, she would work hard to let everyone live a good life. It was now 1980, and they were all in the same production team. The following year, the production would be distributed to households.

All seven of sisters could get a piece of land. In the long run, it would be a huge benefit.

Besides, the country had already started its reform and was opening up, so it was time to encourage individual laborers. She had transmigrated from the future and knew better than anyone that gold was everywhere in the 1980s.

We’ll be rich!

Su Wen’s heart was dancing with excitement.

“By the way, your second sister is an apprentice at the production team

tailor’s house. She’ll be back tonight?”

“Yes! Her master only takes care of one lunch.”

“Then when you go to work in the afternoon, tell her to see if the tailor has any leftover cloth. And if there is, to bring some back.” In this day and age, even the leftover cloth from making clothes was of good quality, and one couldn’t get it without connections.

Since Su Qing could be an apprentice, she should have a good relationship with her master.

Su Xiu nodded in agreement.

*****

After lunch, Su Xiu rushed to scrub the pots and bowls before going to work. Su Wen stayed home to boil water and wash little sister Su from head to toe. This girl had lice all over her body. It was no wonder she liked to scratch everywhere.

Little sister Su’s face looked great after a good cleaning. If not for her being malnourished and under the sun all day, she would have been even more adorable.

Su Wen held up the mirror and scrutinized herself for a long time. She found that the appearance of her original character was not only not ugly, but was instead very attractive. Her skin was white and tender, seemingly ageless. She had almond-shaped eyes, rosy cheeks, and arched eyebrows. Her eyes glistened when she smiled.

She had a small and dainty nose, a delicate nose bridge, and a small, cherry-like mouth.

With such an appearance… it was no wonder the manipulative female protagonist was scheming against her!

D***… It’s too dangerous! What if she really seduced the male protagonist!

However, Su Wen’s looks were above average, so she didn’t take it seriously.

Su Wen had cut little sister Su’s hair into a short crew cut for the convenience of catching lice. Her entire body had been washed clean and she was refreshed. It no longer itched, and she was so comfortable that she was humming.

Su Wen could tell that this girl was a little timid and seemed to be afraid of her. Hence, they chatted for a long time and she took the opportunity to get a lot of information out of her.

For example, that Zhou Hengyang was the live-in son-in-law that their father had decided on before he passed on.

For example, that fourth and fifth sisters were studying and living on campus, and could only return during the holidays. Sixth sister had gone to help their aunt with child-minding and would only be back after the busy season.

For example, how her grandparents favored their second uncle’s Niuniu and third uncle’s Zhuangzhuang. Little sister Su often went to help with cattle-herding, and was not even given a mouthful of water to drink. However, they secretly gave malted milk and canned syrup to Niuniu and Zhuangzhuang. At the start, if little sister Su saw this, they would hide them.

Eventually, they would simply scold her, using extremely unpleasant words.

Su Wen was infuriated upon hearing this. After sending little sister Su out to play, she racked her brains to think about what to have for dinner. Six of the seven sisters were malnourished and emaciated. Su Wen seriously suspected that her original character would also secretly eat behind her sisters’ backs.

She went back to search her room, and it was indeed the case!

There was a bag of peach crisps hidden in the box that was bought during her wedding. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and brought out the peach crisps without hesitation, ready to reward her six younger sisters with a taste.
