The family chatted for a while while burning incense. Chen Shuyao saw that the sky outside was getting darker and said quickly:

"Shiming, it's getting late. Let's go to the old house to make dinner first. Are you going over now?"

"I...I want to be alone, please take Jun'er Yun'er there first!" Su Shiming really didn't want to see the people in the old house, so he could only delay.

Su Youjun saw his father's somewhat resistant expression, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized:

"Dad, since you are in a bad mood and tired, don't go over there for dinner.

Jun'er still has a few meat buns in the basket on his back. Let's go to bed early after washing up! "After that, he ran to get the buns from the basket.

"Shiming, Jun'er is right. You have been wronged over there today, so it's better not to go there and make things worse. Just stay here to eat and rest early!" Chen Shuyao said distressedly.

"Dad, you should have a good rest! Grandpa and grandma would have been angry in the past." Xiao Youyun also agreed.

Su Shiming didn't want to go there. The people in the old house were so sad today. At least he didn't want to see them today.

"Okay! You guys can go over and have dinner tonight! Daddy will be alone."

"Okay daddy, let's come back to accompany you after we finish eating." Su Youjun brought three meat buns and handed them to his father and continued:

"Here, daddy, eat something first. Don't get hungry because you're in a bad mood! My sister and I will accompany my mother to the old house first."

After Su Youjun finished speaking, she followed her mother's footsteps and took her sister to the kitchen of the old house. She couldn't wait to see if the two uncles from the old house had returned early.

If the uncles really came back early, they would definitely have made my father unhappy by asking my father about paying for the money.

My father looked very haggard tonight, but he had something on his mind that he kept in mind. He was afraid that his family would be worried and he didn't tell them clearly, so he had no choice but to go to his old house to check on the situation.

Su Youjun accompanied her mother to their old house. This old house is where more than ten generations of the Su family have lived. Although it is quite old, it still exudes a friendly atmosphere.

When they entered the kitchen, Su Youjun immediately felt an unusual atmosphere.

There are ten more eggs in the kitchen, and a handful of thin noodles for making white steamed buns.

Su Youjun understood immediately. The two young uncles came back from private schools in the town. They like to eat white flour steamed buns, and also like to eat eggs and meat.

Every time the two little uncles came back, the dead old woman would buy meat, or bring out the rare white flour and eggs to feed the two little uncles.

These eggs should have been laid by the hens in the past. There are no livestock in the house, so there shouldn't be much egg stock left!

No wonder her father was feeling uncomfortable today. She guessed some of the reasons, and it must be because of the expense of going to the exam.

But now everyone in the family is penniless. I don’t know why my grandparents asked my father to find money to give them.

The two uncles didn't know when they would come back today. If she had known that the two fat pigs were back, she would have stopped digging for medicinal materials. This way she would also know what her grandparents asked her father to do to earn money from her uncles.

Why! There's no point in being anxious. My father is in a bad mood tonight. Even if I ask him, he won't tell me. Let's ask him tomorrow how to make money! When the time comes, he won't be able to take out so much money, so he can just think of an excuse to take out the money.

Putting aside her messy mood, Su Youjun couldn't wait to walk to her mother and offered to help.

Chen Shuyao saw her two daughters coming over and said with a smile: "Jun'er, Yun'er, you guys are here, let's cook together."

Su Youjun nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay! Mother!"

Knowing that my mother was looking forward to the joy of cooking with her two little daughters, she and her sister came over to help.

Chen Shuyao smiled and nodded. She knew that her daughter was a well-behaved and sensible child.

Chen Shuyao also saw that the ingredients tonight were very rich and asked quickly:

"Why are there white noodles and eggs today? Are there any guests at home?"

Chen Shuyao was a little confused. The two brothers-in-law only came back later this month to take the money to try on Tongzi. Could it be that Pearl came back from the next village?

"Mom, my two uncles must have gone home. I was in the town for the market today and I heard from many people that this year's boy exam is ahead of schedule.

In previous years, it was in late April, but this year it was changed to early April, starting on the eighth day of April. "

Chen Shuyao's face turned ugly after hearing her daughter's words. No wonder her husband was in a bad mood tonight. It turned out that the two brothers-in-law were back to get money again.

I originally thought I would get the silver in late April, but the day has come so far in advance. Where can my husband get so much silver?

In previous years, it was more than ten taels of silver per person! Where can their family get so much money in this short period of time?

With a sigh, Chen Shuyao worriedly took out a large bowl and began to pour a few white noodles into it.

Su Youjun took the flour and carefully poured it into the bowl. She looked at the little flour slowly piling up, a hint of disdain flashing across the corner of her mouth.

This stuff is all for feeding the two pigs, and the white flour and eggs are not their second wife's share at all, because this quantity can make up to five or six white flour steamed buns, and the old woman controls this quantity really well.

Su Youyun looked at the little bit of white flour and felt speechless at the corner of her mouth. She knew that those were the steamed buns that her grandma asked her mother to make for her two little uncles.

She used to crave white flour buns when she saw them, but after her eldest sister often gave her delicious big meat buns, she no longer cared about anything in the old house.

Chen Shuyao took out a small pot, put water in it, and cleaned the large iron pot. Su Youyun walked over, lit the fire for her mother, added firewood, and the flames danced, illuminating her gentle face.

Su Youjun felt that her mother's expression was not good. After hearing that the two uncles had returned, she suddenly became worried.

He must have thought of his father's unhappiness and asking for money from his two uncles.

In the past, the two young uncles had to pay more than ten taels of silver each for transportation. The father had to work hard for a year to grow food and go hunting when he had time.

There is nothing left this year, so it’s no wonder that it’s normal for parents to be in a bad mood.

After Chen Shuyao boiled the water absentmindedly, Su Youjun carefully poured the flour into the pot.

She held a wooden spatula and gently stirred the flour and water. The flour slowly became sticky, and Su Youjun felt warm in his heart as he watched the changes in the dough.

Seeing that her mother was in a bad mood, she didn't know how to comfort her. She had a lot of money now, but her family didn't know it!

At worst, I can wait two days when I need it urgently, and then give my father fifty taels of silver to pay for the job. Anyway, I'll be done with it this year.
