"Big brother, I just read a few books, so I remember, but if you ask me why I know, I can't really explain it in detail!"How could she explain this? Anyway, she just knew!
"It's really good, Guan Guan, you're thoughtful!" Su Jing stroked her head, just like an ordinary family where a brother caresses his sister's head.
But this gesture made Su Guan feel very warm inside. Growing up lacking family love, she really longed for family care!
The brothers were somewhat reluctant to leave. Su Yun licked the corner of his lips, still showing a proud demeanor.
Picking up the sickle again, they went to cut rice. It would take at least three days to finish cutting the two acres. Su Jing looked helplessly at Su Guan:
"Guan Guan, do you remember the way back? It's too hot outside, hurry home and rest, and I'll make lunch for you when I get back!"
Su Guan nodded:
"I remember!" She picked up the empty water jar, waved at her brothers, and then headed home along the same path, looking back every few steps.
Watching her small figure disappearing in the distance, Su Yi smiled and said to his brothers:
"Sister Guan Guan is not what we imagined!"
They always thought Su Guan would be a typical spoiled young lady, but it turns out not entirely so, at least for now.
Su Mu remained silent, Su Chen nodded in agreement, and only Su Jing smiled contentedly:
"That's why we say, you can't judge a book by its cover, nor be presumptuous!"
The licorice water was liked by the brothers, and Su Guan, in a good mood, returned home to start cooking lunch.
There wasn't much flour left in the bag. She scooped out a small bowl, mixed it with water to make a thin batter. Under their current conditions, they couldn't afford to be extravagant. She mixed in shredded potatoes evenly, as long as they were coated with the batter. After seasoning with salt, she brushed oil in the pan, only to find that the oil in the can was almost gone. After searching the house, she couldn't find any extra oil. Su Guan sighed helplessly, realizing the Su family was even poorer than she thought.
A large piece of pumpkin cut into cubes and mixed with a small bowl of rice was put on to steam. Purslane was blanched and then mixed with a bit of vinegar. Without chili, there was nothing to do about it. She reheated the cornmeal pancakes from the morning, and that was it!
When the five Su brothers returned from the field, they smelled a delicious aroma from afar. Su Yun was still sniffing and wondering, whose cooking smelled so good?
Only when they got back to the yard did they realize that the delicious smell was coming from their own home. Smoke was rising from the chimney, and clothes were hanging all over the yard. If it wasn't theirs, who else could it be?
After being baked in the big sun, they were almost dry.
Su Guan heard a noise coming from the kitchen and rushed out, wearing a gray apron. She casually wiped her hands with a smile and said:
"Welcome back, brothers. You must be tired. Wash your hands and let's eat!"
She grabbed a wooden basin and filled it with water from the tub for them to wash their hands, leaving her five brothers stunned.
"Little sister, did you wash all these clothes?" Su Yi pointed at the clothes hanging on the pole and asked.
"Fifth Brother, are you kidding? Besides me, who else is here in this house? Our parents left early this morning. Did you forget?" Su Guan explained with a mischievous look on her face.
Su Yun approached and inspected the clothes that were almost dry, scrutinizing them from all angles.
"You, a lady who rarely does any chores, can wash clothes? Don't tell me we'll have to do a second round of washing!"
After a thorough inspection, Su Yun couldn't find any fault. He was known for finding faults.
"Fourth brother, why do you always question everything I do? If it were Miss Gu doing these tasks, you probably wouldn't say a word!" Su Guan pouted.
Su Yun was taken aback and struggled to explain, "I just can't believe a young lady like you, who usually has so many servants and maids, would lower herself to wash clothes!"
Well, this guy was making things more complicated with his explanations.
"Enough, Fourth Brother! If Su Guan is being kind, you should appreciate it instead of constantly criticizing her. I can't stand watching this anymore!" Su Chen spoke up with a sense of justice.
"I..." Su Yun couldn't argue.
"Fourth Brother, apologize to Su Guan. You were indeed in the wrong!" Su Jing sternly instructed Su Yun.
Su Yun gritted his teeth and realized he was at fault, "I'm sorry, alright? But all you're doing is trying to please us, change our opinions of you, and replace Yue Yue's position in our hearts. Let's see how long you can keep it up!"
Su Yun didn't look apologetic at all; he kept insisting on his point, repeatedly hurting Su Guan's feelings. But Su Guan didn't get angry; instead, she smiled.
"It doesn't matter whether Fourth Brother likes it or not. I do these things because I see you as my brothers. If you can't accept it, it won't stop me from being good to the other four brothers!"
Su Yun was the type who only responded to toughness.
Isn't his purpose just to see her make a fool of herself and show a bad side, so he can establish some faint goodwill?
"Little brat, it's not as you wish!"
Su Yun punched the cotton, but he ended up getting himself half-dead with anger.
Su Mu quietly watched Su Guan's changing expression and then looked at Su Yun, who was blushing with anger. She thought to herself that the new younger sister, although not very old, was quite skilled!
Interesting!
Everyone gathered around the dining table, where there were bowls of potato pancakes, golden in color, perfectly cooked without any burnt parts, and the pumpkin rice had just the right amount of water, producing fragrant and full rice.
Even Su Yun, who considered himself quite skilled in cooking, found it unbelievable to see these flawless potato pancakes. Even he couldn't achieve this level!
"Guan Guan, did you make these?" Su Jing asked Su Guan, feeling that her cooking skills were even better than the fourth sibling's.
"I didn't make them. Could it be Miss Tianluo who made them?" Su Guan was really puzzled. Why didn't they believe she could cook anything?
But it was also understandable. In their eyes, girls from wealthy families were usually not familiar with household chores. However, she didn't mind; she would slowly change their perception.
"Let's eat, we're all tired from working!"
Su Guan wanted to serve them one by one, but when it came to Su Mu, he calmly declined:
"No need, I'll do it myself!"
"Su Guan, you've worked hard cooking; we'll serve ourselves!" Su Chen also politely refused, and Su Yi naturally didn't need to say much.
These six siblings got along well, very polite!
Except for the fourth sibling who couldn't accept the sudden arrival of a new sister, the other brothers, although somewhat unfamiliar, did not show any resistance to her.
Su Yun reacted so strongly due to some special reasons, and also because he was still young, only fifteen years old, and he spoke quite bluntly. Perhaps he had never thought that his actions might hurt Su Guan's feelings, and he couldn't accept that his beloved sister had suddenly left.
