Chapter 70: Forced Marriage by Death
Xiao Anbang smiled at Su Yi again: "Xiao Su, Xiao Yi and I have something to discuss, please take you down to the city." Let him memorize what I taught him just now, and today we start with 'jade is not cut, not a weapon', and we have to memorize it to 'brother Yu Chang, it is appropriate to be a prophet'. ”
"Okay. Su Yi put the washed vegetables in a bamboo basket and shook them, dripped most of the water, and then led Chengcheng into the kitchen, let him sit at the door and endorse the book, added a firewood to the stove, flushed his hands with water, and began to chop vegetables.
"Aunt Su, I'm going to start reciting it. Chengcheng shook his little short legs, shaking his head: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made." People do not learn, and they do not know righteousness...... Rong is four years old and can make pears. Brother Yu Chang, Yi, Yi Prophet!"
"Chengcheng is wonderful! I also memorize it fluently. Su Yi put down the kitchen knife, applauded first, and then gave a thumbs up to Chengcheng.
The little guy's face turned red at once, and he snorted proudly: "Grandpa said that my memory is better than that of my uncle when he was a child." My uncle is the smartest man in our family, and when I grow up, I will be smarter than him. After speaking, he nodded thoughtfully.
"Really?" Su Yi raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, and lifted the lid of the steamer with one hand to see if the rice and dumplings were steamed.
In an instant, the aromas of leeks, shiitake mushrooms and pork blended together perfectly, conquering the nose of the little gluttonous worm.
"Hmm!" Chengcheng put down the book, jumped off the stool on the ground, ran to the stove, hugged Su Yi's leg and coquettishly: "Auntie ~ Chengcheng is hungry and wants to eat dumplings." ”
"Clever ghost, you only ate a piece of sakima an hour ago, drank half a glass of honey water, and you are hungry so soon?
"What is a bottomless pit? My stomach is so good, there is no hole! It's just that as soon as it smells the aroma of Su Yi's food, it will immediately be hungry regardless of whether there is something in its stomach or not. Really, Aunt Sue, I didn't lie to you. ”
"Huh. Wait a minute, I'll get you a stuffed pork with shiitake mushrooms and see if it's cooked. ”
Su Yi took out a dumpling stuffed with mushrooms and pork and put it on a clean plate, cut it off from the middle with chopsticks, poked the meat, and scattered it as soon as he poked. Look at the color of the shiitake mushrooms and pork to see that they are cooked. She tasted half of it herself, the taste was just right, the seasoning was just right, the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms and the aroma of pork meat were mixed together, so fresh that people wanted to bite and swallow their tongues together.
Su Yi heard Chengcheng swallowing saliva, blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at her, her face was full of "I want to eat", she put the other half into Chengcheng's mouth and asked him, "Is it delicious?"
"Fried chicken is so good!" Chengcheng had something in his mouth, and his words were slurred, and Su Yi laughed when he heard it.
"Okay, you go back and sit down and memorize it again. After memorizing what you learned today, you will memorize what you learned yesterday. When you're done, Auntie is almost ready to cook, and you're ready to eat. ”
"Good drops. Chengcheng obediently sat back, flipped through the book and began to read. In fact, he didn't know many words, but he memorized the contents of yesterday and today in his mind, so he pretended to hold the book and read it word by word. The voice was clear and milky, Su Yi listened to it in his ears, and felt that it was comparable to fairy music, which made people feel refreshed.
I was happiest with the little angel.
In the West House, Xiao Yi gave the old man a headache.
"What did I say to you in the canteen of the Public Security Bureau before? You idiot, why don't you know how to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives or grocery stores when you come back today, weigh some fruits and snacks and come back to Xiao Su? Xiao Yi, let me tell you, I will give you three months at most, if you can't impress Xiao Su, don't talk about the marriage certificate with Xiao Su. I'll go to your office and hang myself in front of you! My son is almost thirty years old and he is not married, so I can't hold my head up in front of the neighbors, so what's the point of me living?"
"Dad, I told you a long time ago that I don't want to start a family for the time being, I just want to do the job at hand well. Protecting the people and defending the country is my greatest wish. If I can get a certificate with my work, I will immediately take the household registration book to the Marriage Office of the Municipal Party Committee and do it for you!"
"I'll also put the words here for you, three months later, if you don't marry Xiao Su, just wait to collect my body. I won't talk about those girls before, but now that you have brought Xiao Su into our house, you are just a marriage certificate away, why don't you do it happily and let me feel at ease? Let the old man and I learn from others and enjoy the blessings. Xiao Su came to our house, and I lived with Chengcheng, which is called a good life. I used to follow you, I couldn't see anyone for ten days and a half, and you couldn't even cook well......"
Speak as if you're always a master cook. Xiao Yi pouted: The most impatient cooks like him, and he is forced to cook by himself, although the things cooked out don't taste good, but at least they can be eaten.
It's not like the old man who made it, which makes people feel the desire/desire to eat it without seeing it.
Before Su Yi came, the old man brought grain and vegetables, ate with the east family in the same city, and drank from the west family, and ate all over more than 30 households in Qingshui Lane. One old and one young are also frequent customers of the city's state-run restaurants and the canteen of the Public Security Bureau.
Although Xiao Yi doesn't go home much, he also knows what outsiders say about their family - a room of losers who can't live a life.
Xiao Yi and the old man both think that those people can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. I can't make money by myself, I can't spend as much as they do, and I can only talk a few words behind my back when I treat canteens and restaurants as my own restaurants.
"Dad, every time I go home, you and I nag to get married, can we change the topic to a new topic?"
"I'm not already changing. Now it's 'If you don't marry Xiao Su, collect my body'. I think this topic is quite fresh - the old bachelor is not filial and forced his father to death, what a gimmick, it can be on the Zhanjiang newspaper. ”
"Yes, you used to only nag, but now you will threaten each other with death. That's a lot of progress, old man. I'll just tell you not to gossip with those three aunts and six wives, it's easy to be assimilated. What's the matter? Look at the way you are now, and learn their shrewd tricks to perfection. Both I and the party are disappointed in you, old comrade. ”
"I'm even more disappointed in you. The old man's nose fluttered, he took two deep breaths, suppressed his anger, and said as calmly as possible: "Next, it depends on your performance, little comrade." If you want me to die, keep messing around like this. As long as you still have a little filial piety, just listen to me, be kind to Xiao Su, and marry someone into the door. ”
"Oh, when I'm stupid, you can't bear to die because there is a city. Xiao Yi's words poked the old man's sore spot.
Xiao Anbang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination: "Chengcheng has grown up, and he will dress and bathe by himself, read and endorse, what can I not let go? Xiao Su loves him so much, before I died, I entrusted Chengcheng to her, I believe that she will be able to take care of Chengcheng better than you." ”
"......" Xiao Yi didn't expect the old man to play with him really, and even took into account such a thing as Tuogu. He had a splitting headache: marriage itself gave him a headache, and marrying Su Yi, a person he regarded as a sister, God, his head was about to explode. The old man is really going to find a problem for him.
