Su Wen’s bicycle was warmly welcomed by her sisters. Even Su Xiu, with her red and swollen face, looked curiously, her eyes reluctant to move away from the bicycle.
“Big sister, will this bicycle really be ours in the future?” Little sister Su jumped up and down happily. “That’s great! We have a bicycle again!” What? We had a bicycle at home before?
Su Wen was stunned. She was curious but did not ask.
She was waiting for the others to tell her. If she did not know, it would be difficult to explain.
“Yup!” Su Xiu sighed and said, “our father used to have a bicycle, but it was taken away by our little aunt. Little aunt said that it’s too embarrassing to get married without a dowry, so she took our bicycle as her dowry.”
“They’re just bullies.” Su Qing stood up in front of the bicycle. She got angry at the mention of this topic. “Little aunt got married and thought that the dowry was not good, so she took our bicycle. Isn’t it obvious that she’s bullying us? Grandpa and grandma just look down on us because we’re all girls and there’s no boy in our family. They don’t treat us as humans.”
“Then what should we do? What if grandma comes back and takes away this new bicycle away?” Little sister Su immediately became anxious. She actually did not have much of an impression of her bicycle being stolen. She was still young at that time, but she remembered that there was a bicycle at home.
Everyone treasured her. When she was young, her father would ride the bicycle and take her to the market.
After Su Wen understood the situation, she was so angry that she wanted to roll up her sleeves.
There was actually such a thing!
That was too shameless.
She remembered that in the novel, the little aunt of the Su family was not a good person either. The person who tricked Su Qing and the others to work in the southern city was her little aunt’s sister-in-law. She looked like an honest rural woman, but she was actually a vicious human trafficker.
Thinking of the plot in the novel, Su Wen felt that the anger in her heart could not be suppressed. She did not think much of it when she was reading the novel, but now that she thought about it again, she felt suffocated.
Her heart ached even more.
“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one can take anything from us.” Not even biased grandparents.
The sisters looked at Su Wen with admiration, firmly believing that as long as their big sister said it, she would do it.
“Alright, let’s push the bicycle home and make dinner!” Su Wen waved her hand and smiled brightly.
“Yes!”
“Big sister, what are we having for dinner?”
Su Wen thought for a moment, “why don’t we just eat vegetable gnocchi? We can crack a few more eggs, how about that?”
Su Wen’s suggestion received everyone’s cheers. Su Qing and Su Xiu almost could not remember what it felt like to have gnocchis. Her little sister had never eaten gnocchis before. After all, it was already good enough that they could fill their stomachs a few years ago. They had been eating coarse grains such as cornbread and dried sweet potatoes.
Although Su Xuewen was capable, he was not at home all year round. As a man, he did not know how to cook. Although he loved his daughters, he could not be particular about what he ate.
As usual, the sisters busied themselves with their own work.
The wound on Su Xiu’s face had not healed yet, so she let her rest more. Su Qing did not go to the tailor’s today. She was busy cleaning the yard and doing housework.
The younger sister followed Su Wen, helping her wash the vegetables and start the fire.
It was not difficult to make gnocchi, but it was still very particular to make them delicious. Su Wen loved to eat gnocchi. Even when she was busy with work later on, she would still occasionally find time to cook for herself.
The vegetables had already been cleaned by her little sister. She cut the vegetables and stir-fried them in hot oil until they were fragrant. Then, she added an appropriate amount of water to the pot and brought it to a boil. The cooking method varied for gnocchi depending where you were at..
