245: The buns are so delicious, how come they are so delicious?
And she can take good care of her cousin!
She's been out early and returning late recently, all to help her cousin!
Father Su handed the warm water he had poured to Su Duo: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
The meat filling in these steamed buns was from the processed fierce beast meat he specifically bought from the guild after work last night, thinking Su Duo liked to eat it, so he decided to make it for her breakfast today.
"Mhm mhm." Su Duo chewed on the bun, responding vaguely, then picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
The buns are so delicious!
Why are they so delicious?
Is it because the meat filling is fierce beast meat? But she had eaten such buns before, also made by Father Su and Mother Su, so why did this meal feel so much better?
Su Duo ate three meat buns in one go and also drank a bowl of porridge.
"So full." She leaned back in her chair, patted her stomach, and said comfortably, "These buns are really too delicious."
"How about I pack a few for you to take, and you can eat them when you get hungry at noon?" Mother Su put down her spoon and was about to stand up to get a food bag for the buns.
"Ah? No... that, okay."
Su Duo originally wanted to say no, but recalling what she had eaten at Ximen Chuifeng's house these past few days... she should take them!
Just eating dark cuisine won't do.
If food isn't enjoyable, the meaning of life is halved.
"You've been eating out a lot lately, don't upset your stomach, otherwise your mother and I will worry at work," Father Su said.
"Mhm mhm." Su Duo nodded. Although those dark cuisines were unappetizing, they were indeed healthy.
She wondered how Ximen Chuifeng had managed all these years, eating only those things every day?
If it were her, she couldn't stand it.
Actually, Su Duo also wanted to stay home, but Uncle Ximen said that the Axe Gang's war was a matter of these few days, and they had to be ready at all times, without slackening.
She didn't cultivate the Seven-Colored Divine Wood Skill; she was still cultivating her own water-attribute cultivation method. In this period, her cultivation in the method had improved, subtly nearing the third level of this second-grade water-attribute cultivation method.
Her cousin was still in the Axe Gang, and she didn't know how he was doing over there.
"A total of four buns, and a boiled egg. Take them to eat if you get hungry at noon. Oh, and I'll get you a bottle of water too, to drink if you get thirsty on the way."
After Mother Su handed the bag full of food to Su Duo, she went to get her water.
"No need, Mother, I have water, I always carry it with me." Su Duo quickly stopped Mother Su.
She didn't know why, but today she just didn't want to see Mother Su so busy.
She had been very naughty since she was a child, liked to cause trouble, disliked doing housework, and loved to sleep in... often giving her parents headaches because of it.
Later, when her cousin came to their house, he was very diligent with housework, never slept in, and wasn't mischievous like her. Her parents always used her cousin to talk about her, saying, 'Look how sensible your cousin is, why can't you be a little more considerate?'
At that time, she was still young. After hearing these words too many times, she started targeting her cousin, including but not limited to intentionally knocking over her cousin's rice bowl, intentionally dirtying her cousin's clothes, and intentionally stepping on the floor her cousin had just mopped with dirty shoes... At first, her cousin endured it, but before long, she was beaten by her cousin because she was too arrogant.
Only after being beaten did she become well-behaved.
It was also from that time that she understood that, apart from parents, others would not unconditionally be good to you or unconditionally tolerate all your flaws.
However, she still liked to follow her cousin, because she knew that her cousin beat her because she was too excessive, and later her cousin also helped her a lot. The two often sat on the sofa together to cultivate, cultivating all day long.
Her cultivation also gradually increased from that time.
Her Qi Cavity was a bit better than ordinary Acupoints; as long as she cultivated diligently, she could quickly surpass her cousin.
Later, she indeed surpassed her cousin... "Oh, alright. Want to eat anything else?" Mother Su suddenly felt a little lonely.
Children grow up, and parents should let go.
But why was she still so reluctant?
The past two days had been fine; Su Duo sometimes went out early and returned late without eating breakfast, but Mother Su hadn't felt such a strong desire for Su Duo to stay and finish breakfast as she did today.
Father Su also kept urging: "When you're out, you must pay attention to safety. Don't listen to strangers. If you encounter someone or a fierce beast you can't beat, run away quickly. Don't confront them head-on..."
Su Duo smiled helplessly: "Father, I know all this."
Father Su opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, only one word remained: "Good..."
Su Duo took her food, took a big gulp of water, and was ready to leave: "Father, Mother, I have to go. See you tonight!"
With that, she turned to leave.
"Wait!" Mother Su suddenly called out to her.
"What is it, Mother?"
Su Duo turned her head and found herself crashing into Mother Su's embrace.
"Mother, you..." Suddenly hugged by Mother Su, Su Duo was a bit at a loss, but she still put her hands on Mother Su's back, saying, "I'll be back tonight, Mother."
"Mhm." Mother Su responded vaguely, but Su Duo felt some warmth on her shoulder.
Mother was crying?
Su Duo became even more flustered; she had never experienced such a scene.
Fortunately, Mother Su only hugged her gently for a few seconds before letting go, and with red eyes, she said to her: "No matter what you want to do, we support you. Mother doesn't ask you to make a name for yourself, nor does she ask you to become a high-level martial artist; you don't have that ability. Mother only hopes that you can be happy every day; nothing else matters. Go now, come back early."
Father Su was also smiling at her from across the room.
"Okay." Su Duo nodded ignorantly. She thought today was like any other day, nothing special, so she didn't understand why Mother Su would suddenly act this way.
"I'm leaving." She turned around again. This time, no one called her back.
But her nose suddenly felt a bit sour too, and she felt like crying... "What's wrong with you today? So reluctant to let go of Xiaoduo."
After Su Duo left home, Father Su asked Mother Su while clearing the dishes.
"I'm not sure either, I just have a very uneasy feeling... I'm worried that Xiaoduo might encounter something on this trip." Mother Su sighed deeply.
"Don't scare yourself. Xiaoduo isn't going out to explore for the first time; nothing will happen."
"My heart is always unsettled, sigh. You know, maybe I should just quit my job..."
"Children have their own paths. As parents, we shouldn't interfere too much. Didn't you say that first?"
"That's true, but I'm still worried." Mother Su leaned against Father Su and said, "To be honest, we didn't have much time to look after Xiaoduo. Her naughtiness and dislike for cultivation when she was young were somewhat related to us not supervising her much. Fortunately, Sanming was there, and Xiaoduo learned to be better."
"Speaking of which, Sanming hasn't been home in a long time. I wonder what he's busy with?"
