Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 367: The Ultimate Rice Companion

Seeing the two of them not saying anything for a while, Su Xiaoxiao thought it was because the money was too little. She pulled out a thick wad of banknotes from her pocket and slapped it onto the table, "Alright, two hundred, your sister fully supports you both."

They originally thought one hundred was the limit, but unexpectedly, their third sister raised it straight to two hundred with just one sentence.

The two were so shocked they couldn’t speak.

When did their third sister become so wealthy?

Doesn’t she earn just thirty-something yuan a month? She’s only been working for a few months.

Also, their third sister often brings stuff home, like the TV and sewing machine, which are not cheap.

Could it be...

Su Jianwu jumped over and hugged Su Xiaoxiao’s arm, "Third sister, tell us the truth, were you adopted? Then your biological parents are returned overseas Chinese or some influential leaders? Then one day they recognized you on the street and compensated you with a large sum of money..."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

This guy should write melodramatic novels, what a waste of talent.

"What nonsense! I’m like you, born to our mom, always fantasizing instead of focusing on your studies, adopted? Why don’t you say you were adopted?"

Su Xiaoxiao said as she shoved the wad of money into Su Jianwen’s hands, "Work hard, don’t waste money, I have things to do tomorrow, I’m going to sleep."

After handing over the money, she swiftly sent them away.

Having been busy all day, she now just wants to enjoy a nice bath and go to sleep.

Once she drove the people out and locked the door, she entered her small storage space immediately.

Over a week without a bath, she felt she seasoned herself into flavor.

Turning on the air conditioner and heater, she had a comfortable hot shower, feeling very relaxed.

She didn’t have to work tomorrow, so she decided to sleep in the small storage space.

The small storeroom had an air conditioner and was much more comfortable than her icebox-like room.

These days, winters were freezing cold, and at night, the main heating method at home was the heated bed.

The first half of the night was fine; the bed was warm. But in the second half, it felt like lying in a snow nest, feeling the cold breeze sneak into the quilt whenever she turned over.

Every night she was woken up several times by the cold, relying only on her righteousness for warmth.

This night, sleeping in a warm air-conditioned room, she finally had a good sleep.

"Ring ring ring~"

The familiar alarm clock rang, Su Xiaoxiao reflexively climbed out of bed, stunned upon seeing the room slightly.

Only after two seconds did she realize she was in the small storage space.

Rushed out of the room, threw on some clothes carelessly, slipped on shoes, and headed out.

At the door, she ran into her mom Liu Cuilan head-on.

She yawned, "Mom, I’m not having breakfast; I’m going to be late for work..."

Before finishing her sentence, Liu Cuilan looked at her puzzled, "Old Third, aren’t you off today?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

Worked like a horse for so long, she forgot her day off was today; she wouldn’t have gotten up this early if she had known.

No, she had to go back and sleep a bit longer; rare to have a lazy morning.

Only... after returning to the room, she couldn’t fall asleep.

Not sleeping on the heated bed last night, the quilt was as cold as ice lumps; it made her shiver when she slipped back in.

Su Xiaoxiao lay with her eyes closed for two seconds, unable to sleep, simply impossible.

After lying for ten minutes, she resignedly got up from the bed and went out for washing up and breakfast.

Today’s breakfast was steaming hot corn porridge, paired with pickled radish and grain buns mixed with white flour.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced and lost her appetite.

Having corn porridge every morning, she had long grown tired of it.

And the pickled radish was always there; this was pretty much the morning routine these days.

Suddenly she remembered she’d bought Laoganma before, and immediately fetched a bottle from her small storage space.

This stuff was a meal enhancer; it made even shoe soles tasty.

Breaking open the bun in the middle, she stuffed a full chopstick of Laoganma inside and took a bite. It was spicy and appetizing, delicious.

Su Xiaoxiao took sips of corn porridge and bit into the bun, enjoying her meal.

Just as she was eating, Su Jianwen and Su Jianwu opened the door and stepped out, seeing the usual breakfast spread and their faces full of disappointment.

Then they noticed their third sister eating with gusto, bite after bite.

It seemed their third sister wasn’t eating corn porridge and grain buns but some gourmet delicacy, judging by her enjoyment.

Seeing her devour made Su Jianwu hungry.

Glancing at the glass jar in front of Su Xiaoxiao, curious, "Third sister, what are you eating?"

With oil floating on top, it looked very appetizing.

The aroma seemed delicious.

He involuntarily swallowed a mouthful.

"It’s called Laoganma, a meal enhancer."

Su Xiaoxiao replied vaguely while eating.

"What godmother? Whose godmother?"

Su Jianwu was puzzled; he hadn’t heard their mom acknowledged a godmother for their third sister.

Su Xiaoxiao pushed the glass jar towards Su Jianwu directly, "This is Laoganma."

Oh, turns out it’s a delicious treat, got it wrong.

Su Jianwu smelled the spicy aroma and eagerly reached for it, only to have his hand slapped by Su Xiaoxiao.

"Go away, wash your hands, filthy."

To eat the delicious Laoganma, Su Jianwu was bothered by his sister but didn’t mind, urging Su Jianwen to wash hands quickly.

Soon enough, they happily presented their washed hands to Su Xiaoxiao to show off, "Third sister, look, we washed really clean."

Then they looked at her expectantly, "Can we eat now?"

"Go ahead."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded.

Given permission, the two promptly grabbed a bun each, mimicking Su Xiaoxiao by stuffing Laoganma in the middle.

With sips of steaming corn porridge and bites of grain buns,

The buns filled with Laoganma were fragrant and spicy, very satisfying.

The two immediately loved the taste, eating energetically bite after bite.

When Liu Cuilan entered, she saw just this scene.

The three daughters and sons were all seated around the table, each with a grain bun, eating with great enthusiasm.

Seeing them eat so heartily, Liu Cuilan briefly wondered if her cooking had improved lately? Could such simple corn porridge and grain buns have become extraordinarily tasty?

When she saw the three had quickly finished four or five buns, puzzled, she picked up one and took a bite. It tasted the same, the three must be truly hungry.

Wondering, she saw the third daughter push a glass jar towards her, "Mom, eat with this, it’s tastier than pickled radish."

On hearing, Liu Cuilan hesitatingly smeared a chopstick full onto the bun, bit down, her eyes lit up instantly.

This was too great!

Everyone at the table was engrossed in eating, and soon they had polished off seven or eight buns, stuffed to immobility.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the time, touched her round belly, got up, "Mom, I have to go to the city, meeting with colleagues."
