Chapter Eighty-Six: Worried
Su Ru covered her head and muttered secretly, does this mean that it is still okay to come in the shade in the future?
Looks like her mother isn't that honest!
Su Ru smiled, and Su Wenxiang also followed silly.
The little sister who was still aggrieved and shed tears didn't know why her brothers and sisters laughed, she also wiped her tears, followed the silly music, Zhang Xinghua was helpless, and told them to have fun, stop making trouble and continue to go back to work.
"Big brother, what does little uncle look like?"
As soon as the adults left, Su Ru couldn't wait to pull her eldest brother's sleeve and asked.
She was very curious about the little uncle who made the second aunt and the militia company commander so jealous, but she really didn't have an impression, she didn't expect the little uncle to be such a powerful character.
Obviously, Su Wenfei and his brothers are also little fans of their little uncle, and when they mention their little uncle, their eyes are full of admiration.
"Why do you have such a bad memory? Uncle Xiao came to see us during the Chinese New Year, and bought you a pair of red leather shoes at that time. ”
Speaking of his little uncle, Su Wenfei was a little excited.
Su Ru couldn't help but look at the rag shoes on her feet, "What about my red leather shoes?"
"My aunt is leaving. Su Wenfei looked at her strangely, "Yaya, why don't you remember?" At that time, you liked the red leather shoes, and when they were taken away, you cried miserably. ”
Su Ru coughed lightly, "I was so scared that I forgot some things last time." ”
Su Wenfei didn't think much about it, but Su Wenxiang gave her a strange look.
The five brothers and sisters made two baskets of pigweed at the edge of the field, and a female intellectual, "You belong to Uncle Jianwu's family, right? I remember that you didn't raise pigs, what are you doing with so much pigweed?"
"There is a family in the town who exchanges a black bun for a basket of pigweed, and we plan to exchange a few black buns to come back and eat. ”
Su Wenxiang said the reasons he had thought of a long time ago, and successfully dispelled the suspicions of some people.
He is not telling a lie, there is a butcher surnamed Liu in the town who has two pigs at home, but their family works in the factory, and they don't have time to dig pigweed and come back to feed the pigs, so they specially found a job for the children in the nearby village who have nothing to do, that is, to exchange black buns for a basket of pigweed.
There are several people in Dongxiang who know about this, but few people do this.
For most people in Dongxiang, it is not cost-effective to exchange a basket of pigweed for a black bun, and it is better to feed the pigs at home!
"Oh. ”
The female intellectuals nodded, thought about it, took out a few pieces of candy from their pockets and shook them in front of them, "Do you eat sugar?"
Su Ru raised her head and glanced at her, "Don't eat." ”
"This is the fruit candy I brought back from the city, you can't buy it here!" The female intellectuals said in a seductive tone, "As long as you do me a favor, I'll give you food, okay?"
Su Ru shook her head without thinking, "It's not good, we don't eat your sugar." ”
"Why are you so uncute, you little girl, if you don't eat it, your younger brothers and sisters always want to eat it!"
The female intellectuals glared at her unhappily, and then asked at Su Xiaomei, the younger brother of Su, "Do you want to eat?"
"Don't eat it!" "Brother Su looked at the candy in her hand with blank eyes, turned his head and said resolutely.
Su Xiaomei shrank in her eldest brother's arms and shook her head.
The female intellectuals gritted their teeth angrily, "Don't eat it!"
Su Ru snorted and didn't say a word, this female intellectual's eyes rolled wildly, and at first glance she was not a worry-free product, she didn't want to sell herself for a few pieces of candy.
What's more, there are a lot of candies in her small interface, which is not rare at all.
"What do you say she wants us to help?" Su Wenxiang touched his chin and squinted his eyes as he stared at the back of the female intellectual.
"Don't worry about it, it won't be a good thing anyway. Su Wenfei said lightly, and by the way, he also praised the attitude of the little brother and sister who were not tempted, and the two little guys were suddenly happy, and they didn't know what they were doing stupidly.
Soon it was time to get off work.
Zhang Xinghua wiped the sweat on her forehead, the dreary weather was too depressing, she couldn't help but say worriedly, "From the beginning of autumn to now, not even a rain has fallen, and the water in the paddy fields is almost dry, there will be no drought this year, right?"
"If it's really a drought......" Su Jianwu looked at the dried cracks in the field, his brows furrowed tightly, and he had a bad premonition.
When Su Ru heard this, she paused.
I suddenly remembered a big thing!
There is a terrible event like the fact that she was almost sold to Laohugou when she was nine years old, that is, from six or seven to six or eight years, there was a severe drought in the province where Dongxiang is located, and it did not rain for a whole year and a half, and most of the crops planted in the field died of drought, but some people above said that the disaster here was not so serious for the sake of merit, if it were not for the recovery of the surrounding mountains and forests in recent years, the common people could still survive by digging grass roots and bark, but I am afraid that like the natural disasters of those three years, some people will starve to death.
Su Ru's face changed, in this case, she is still staying in the countryside, if there is no small interface for her, her family is afraid that life will be difficult, but if other people's families are short of food and less food, the white and fat ones raised by her family will also attract the suspicion of people with hearts.
But how can she warn the people around her that a drought is coming?
It's impossible to just shout at the sight of a person, right?
"Yaya, what do you want?
Su Jianwu picked her up and asked with a smile.
Su Ru immediately came back to her senses, touched her nose and said, "I'm thinking about my eldest brother becoming a soldier! It seems that the time for recruiting soldiers is coming, and my eldest brother doesn't have a few clothes to wear, will he be disliked when he arrives in the army?"
"I remember that your little uncle still has his old clothes, so I'll go back and bring a set of clothes." ”
Zhang Xinghua was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke.
Su Ru's eyes widened in shock, "Mom, do you agree with your eldest brother to become a soldier?"
Zhang Xinghua looked at the ground that had gradually dried up and did not speak.
It hadn't rained all this time, and she always had a bad premonition.
The natural disasters of previous years were the same, they came without warning, and she was afraid that this time would be the same.
The family has just been divided, and some of them are only a few hundred catties of food in exchange for meat, which is not enough for their family to eat, if there is really a drought, the boss will not have to worry about going hungry when she goes to the army.
It's just that these words, even if they are said to children, they can't understand them, so Zhang Xinghua just smiled, and the smile was a little reluctant no matter how you look at it.
Su Wenfei was also very happy when he heard this, and said loudly, "Mom, I will definitely do a good job after I go to the army! Strive to become an officer, and when the time comes, I will take you to the city to live a good life!"
"You stupid boy, I just ask you to save your life, and I'll be satisfied if you run away on your own for anything dangerous. Zhang Xinghua glared at him angrily and said helplessly.
Su Wenfei still smirked, but Su Ru knew that the eldest brother was not a person who was willing to be a small soldier for the rest of his life, otherwise, he would not have died so young in his previous life.
