Su Binglan could not help but laugh. “Third Brother, slow down. There are so many sweet potatoes.”
Su Wenwu chuckled. “Is that so? I know these roasted sweet potatoes will taste delicious since you made them, so I couldn’t wait to try one.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at the roasted sweet potatoes and said, “I only tried it once last time. It’s indeed sweet. I’ve eaten so many things recently that I forgot how roasted sweet potatoes taste like.”
Su Wenxiu looked at the roasted sweet potatoes and smelled them. He thought he was going to drool. “I feel that eating roasted sweet potatoes should be tasty when it snows in winter.”
Su Fengmao said, “Who cares about when we eat these? It’s cold now, anyway. Eating roasted sweet potatoes will make me warm.”
Su Binglan looked at the weather outside. Autumn was a good season, but it was indeed cold at night. However, she did not know when it would start snowing.
According to her memories, it would start snowing earlier if winter arrived on their side. It would also snow heavily. Su Binglan felt wonderful just thinking about it.
She laughed, “You’re right, Wenxiu. Eating roasted sweet potatoes will taste particularly tastier on a snowy day.”
Immediately after, images flashed through Su Binglan’s mind. She continued, “You guys can eat them after letting them cool down. Still, you should eat them while they’re still warm. I’ll take some to Qiu He and Jinghua.”
Shen Qiuhua said, “But it’s already so late, and the roads around the village are dark.
Baili Jinghua lived close by, just a few steps away from the Su family’s house on the east side of the front row. Still, everyone was worried about Su Binglan going out late at night.
She thought it was amusing since she knew martial arts. She would be okay wherever she went.
Su Binglan felt that it was a little funny. She knew martial arts, so she would be fine wherever she went. However, she felt a warmth in her heart when her family showed their concern for her.
Su Wenwu was also worried about his sister walking to Baili Jinghua’s house. Still, it was already late, and it was inappropriate for a boy to help his sister deliver things at night, mainly because Baili Jinghua was a woman.
Shen Qiuhua said, “I think it would be best if I went instead.” She felt sorry for her daughter.
Su Binglan shook her head and said, “Don’t worry, guys. I’ll be back soon.”
Luo Jin’an said softly, “I’ll go with you.”
After all, he was Su Binglan’.s husband, so no one objected to him accompanying Su Binglan.
Su Binglan nodded when she saw Luo Jin’an and the others’ worried expressions. Then she and her husband took the roasted sweet potatoes to Qiu He and the others first.
Qiu He and the others did not rest either—instead, they wanted to warm up the platform first, so Luo Kang remained in the yard chopping wood.
Meanwhile, Qiu He washed the vegetables under the moonlight as the others also prepared other things for breakfast the following day.
“I’m glad Miss Su allows us to eat and rest in our own rooms. I feel much more relaxed like this.”
“You’re right. I would feel shy and awkward if we ate with our host. Don’t you think so?”
They knew where they stood in the Su family’s house, so they would not feel relaxed if they ate alongside the Su family. They would not dare to eat much, let alone speak.
Luo Juan and Du Xiaoju were also talking at that time.
“Miss Su is so nice.”
“Yeah, she has taught us many things, and she’s always so gentle when she talks to us.”
“She’s so capable too.”
“Miss Su looks gorgeous whenever she smiles. She’s so beautiful.” “Young Master Jin’an is fortunate to be Miss Su’s husband.”
The two girls talked about Su Binglan with adoration.
Su Binglan happened to hear these conversations when she arrived at the door. She felt a little embarrassed to go in. However, Luo Jin’an was with her, so he probably also heard what the two girls were discussing.
‘Does she feel embarrassed? Does she want to stop for a while?’
Luo Juan and Du Xiaoju found something in common when they talked about Su Binglan. It was utterly similar to the modern trend of gossiping about celebrities.
However, Su Binglan felt that she could not enter the room. Perhaps the two smelled the fragrance; Du Xiaoju looked at the door and said in surprise, “Miss
Luo Kang and Qiu He also saw her at the door and greeted them respectfully,
“Hello, Miss Su. Hello, Young Master Jin’an.”
Su Binglan said smilingly, “It’s already late, Mr. Luo. Why haven’t you guys slept yet?”
“It’s still quite early for us. We couldn’t have gone to bed so early in the past.”
That was why Luo Kang and Qiu He were genuinely grateful to Su Binglan. They knew she was a good person. When they worked in a wealthy family’s mansion back then, they always had to work until late at night. They were exhausted then.
Su Binglan handed over the few roasted sweet potatoes she had brought and said, “We were too busy at the restaurant today, so I know you guys didn’t have time to have a proper meal.
“So I roasted a few sweet potatoes and brought them over. There are two for each of you, so you guys will have enough to fill your stomachs as a late-night snack.
Everyone felt flattered when they heard Su Binglan’s words.
Qiu He wiped her wet hands on her clothes and said, “We feel embarrassed, Miss Su. We already ate well during the day, and we even had rice. That was good enough, yet you still brought us these roasted sweet potatoes.”
They did not know what roasted sweet potatoes were since they had never eaten or seen them. Still, the roasted sweet potatoes smelled terrific, and they knew Su Binglan’s cooking was always delicious.
Su Binglan said, “It’s okay. You all did your best today, so take these and eat them. You should rest early too.”
Qiu He’s family and Du Xiaoju had worked hard during the day, and Su Binglan had witnessed it all, so she would never mistreat them.
“Yes, Miss Su n
Soon after giving Qiu He and the others the roasted sweet potatoes, Luo Jin i an and Su Binglan went to Baili Jinghua’s house.
Qiu He still held the roasted sweet potatoes even after Su Binglan and Luo Jin i an left. “Miss Su is such a good person. She even thought of bringing us food.”
Luo Juan said, “We ate quite well during the day and had rice. It was even white grain rice too! The rice was fragrant and delicious.”
She and the others never dared to dream of eating this well in the past. However, Su Binglan always gave them rice and meat since they moved into the Su family’s house.
Su Binglan also ordered clothes for Qiu He and the others, and their bedding was new.
She had also gotten someone to make clothes for them. The bedding was all new. They were genuinely grateful to Su Binglan for all she had done for them.
“We must always work hard for Miss Su.” Qiu He and the others were bent on repaying their gratitude and wanted to make Su Binglan proud.
Qiu He passed the sweet potatoes to the others, and they started eating. After peeling the skin and eating the insides, they thought it was sweet and delicious.
“ It’s so delicious!” Luo Juan’s eyes lit up.
Du Xiaoju felt so touched that she was about to cry. “I’ve never eaten anything so delicious. So, this is a sweet potato? It’s so sweet and fragrant.”
Du Xiaoju could not bear to eat them in big mouthfuls—instead, she savored them.
Qiu He and Luo Kang looked at each other excitedly. They were ecstatic to be able to eat the delicious food Su Binglan had made for them.
Baili Jinghua was not asleep either when Su Binglan went to deliver the roasted sweet potatoes. However, Baili Xihong was sound asleep.
Baili Jinghua looked at Su Binglan, then at Luo Jin’an, and said smilingly, “Young Master Jin’an, you were worried about your wife, so you came along too.
Luo Jin’an’s eyelids twitched. He knew Baili Jinghua was purposely teasing him..
