After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 204 Visiting the New House

Su Xiaoxiao continued to explain to them, "This is a smoothie made with jam. Everyone should try it; it's refreshing and thirst-quenching!"

Everyone started eating eagerly. Su Xiaoxiao saw that everyone was enjoying the food very much. It was not only refreshing but also relieved their fatigue. It was simply a delicious treat.

Some people asked Su Xiaoxiao, "Boss Su, is it difficult to make this shaved ice? Why don't you teach us?"

Su Xiaoxiao replied, "It's not difficult. You just need to crush the ice, mix in some sugar, and then add our homemade jam."

Everyone has learned it, but only if you buy the jam from Su Xiaoxiao's family.

At least I can make this for my family when I get home, and I quite like it myself.

Back then, of course, no one would sell cold drinks. In the summer, it was really not easy to cool off; where could you find cold drinks?

Once you learn this method, you can at least help children cool down and beat the heat; kids will definitely love it.

Although the Emperor didn't help with any work, he certainly ate plenty of the shaved ice that Su Xiaoxiao prepared for the workers.

“Mr. Zhu, you'd better not eat anymore. I've already told you that eating too much can easily damage your spleen and stomach, and you're already so old…”

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to continue speaking, she was interrupted by the Emperor.

"What are you saying? Am I that old? I'm not even forty yet, okay?"

The Emperor was amused by Su Xiaoxiao's humor, but that was only Su Xiaoxiao's opinion. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been dragged away and torn to pieces by the Emperor long ago.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "You're thirty-eight years old. In our area, thirty-eight is considered old."

Didn't a news report say that people over 38 years old are invited to have their blood pressure checked for free at their community health centers?

Su Xiaoxiao dared not argue with the Emperor about this matter. "Well, I meant that you ate too much and your body is too cold. I'll make you a winter melon and pork rib soup tonight to cool you down and nourish you."

"really?"

The emperor immediately became excited again.

Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, they stopped arguing with Su Xiaoxiao, even though he was an old man.

Su Xiaoxiao returned home to make pork rib soup for the Emperor. While she was chopping pork ribs in the kitchen, she saw an old man standing at the door, puffing on his pipe. Su Xiaoxiao recognized him as her uncle.

He is actually Su Xiaoxiao's adoptive father, and she should call him "Dad" in principle.

But for some reason, ever since the original owner of this body, he had never called this old man "father".

Su Xiaoxiao inherited the original owner's body, so it seems inappropriate for her to call him "father" now.

Uncle stood in front of Su Xiaoxiao's house, hesitating for a long time, unsure whether he should step inside.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to go out to greet him, she realized, "Oh no, there's more than just Pei Yuan in the house now."

Now there's another emperor, and of course, there's Eunuch Liu. Although Eunuch Liu's appearance and demeanor make it easy to ignore that he's a man, he is dressed in men's clothing.

What should we do?
But Su Xiaoxiao had already walked into the yard and called out in her uncle's direction.

"Uncle, you've arrived?"

The uncle was clearly unprepared and was startled.

"Xiaoxiao, are you home? I came by earlier and your door was locked." "We just went to harvest the crops. We're back to make lunch now. Uncle, come in and sit down, it's so hot standing outside!"

It was the middle of the day, and there was nowhere to hide at the door, so Su Xiaoxiao told her uncle to come inside and sit down.

"No, I came to talk to you about something..."

Uncle seemed rather reserved. Since their last meeting over the Chinese New Year, Su Xiaoxiao noticed a significant change in him. He had clearly lost weight, and his demeanor was no longer as sharp as it had been the last time they met. Instead, he seemed a little embarrassed.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled, "Uncle, I'm building a new house, and you and Aunt haven't come to see it yet. Come in and have a look. Just consider it a visit; you're family!"

Upon hearing this, a kind smile appeared on the uncle's face. "Alright, I'll go in and take a look."

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was about to take her uncle inside to show him her new house, Pei Yuan led the Emperor, Eunuch Liu, and Liu Qiaomei back from the fields for lunch.

The three grown men stared at the uncle, and Su Xiaoxiao knew she was doomed.

Given my uncle's volatile temper, this is bound to cause trouble.

The scene was quite awkward until the Emperor first reached out his hand to his uncle, who was standing there stunned.

"Who is this? Su Xiaoxiao. And who is this person? He looks very friendly; he must be a very distinguished guest."

"Quickly, please come inside and sit down."

Knowing the Emperor's personality, Su Xiaoxiao quickly introduced, "This is my uncle. I grew up with my uncle and aunt since I was a child. They raised me."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor immediately and very respectfully reached out to take the boxes of pastries from his uncle's hands, and then invited his uncle to come inside and sit down.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk. It's too sunny outside."

After my uncle was invited into the house, everyone sat down.

The uncle looked around at the people in the room. Pei Yuan was a handsome young man. Although he was dressed in ordinary farmer's clothes, it did not affect his noble temperament at all.

Looking at the middle-aged man who had been talking to him, he also stood very straight, exuding an air of nobility. He was clearly not an ordinary person, even though he was dressed in the clothes of a farmer.

After all, everyone had just come back from the fields. As for Eunuch Liu, he looked a little effeminate, but he had a certain air about him. Eunuch Liu always wore makeup when he came out, and he would always stick a goatee on his chin. Although it made him look delicate and tender, it also added a little bit of masculinity.

The uncle's unease intensified; for a moment, he felt unsure of what to do with his hands and feet, and simply remained polite to everyone.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, "Stop crowding around. Go wash off the mud and get ready for lunch. We still have to work in the fields this afternoon."

Pei Yuan then led the Emperor and the others out, and at this moment, his uncle's face relaxed slightly.

"Uncle, how is my aunt's health?"

"Fortunately, she told me I had to come."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"She said what I said during the New Year... sigh, Xiaoxiao, I regretted it later. I shouldn't have said those things to you on New Year's Day..."

“Uncle, it’s all in the past. Now look, I’ve moved to a new house. Although we still live together, it’s more convenient not to share a room. Actually, these people are all my friends, and they are all good people. Don’t worry, those who talk badly about me behind my back are just trying to find fault. You can’t believe what they say.”
