Chapter 32 Integrating into the Village
In the following days, Su Lingben didn't have any major things to do, so he took advantage of the sunny weather to chop wood and tidy up the vegetable garden. Wait for the weather to warm up a bit, and it's time to plant new vegetables.
When I went up the hill to chop wood, I occasionally saw the two poor children. It's still the same old thing, wearing patches all over it, and it's very thin clothes. Su Ling was also used to carrying snacks or cakes with her, and when she met two children, she gave them to eat.
After coming and going, I gradually became familiar with it. It turned out that their family name was Zhou, and the little boy's name was Zhou Chen, who was ten years old this year, but he had been a little malnourished, and Su Ling felt that he was not ten years old. The little girl's name is Zhou Ting, and she is seven years old this year.
The names of the two children are good, Su Ling thinks, and they are different from ordinary rural people. Ordinary rural people, most of whom are illiterate, rarely come up with elegant names.
The Zhou family lives at the entrance of the village, although they are in the same village, but they are some distance away from Su Ling's house. But in a village, there are no secrets. Su Ling had heard from Xiaohua of the Fang family that the hostess of the Zhou family had a really bad temper.
She is very spicy, and she is a woman who likes to make noise. As long as something doesn't go well, he likes to take out his anger on his nephews and nephews. Children who have no support, even if they are beaten, can only bear it silently. It is said that it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, and even the chief is not easy to take care of.
If there is any dispute among the people in the village, the chief will come forward to take care of it, but it is purely a family matter, and there is no property dispute, where is the chief to take care of!
Watching Zhou Chen and Zhou Ting chop firewood was very laborious, and Su Ling would also help them chop.
"Sister Xin is such a good person. Zhou Chen said sincerely.
"Me...... It's not a good person, right? I can only say that I have a clear conscience in doing things!" Su Ling sighed. Human nature is often selfish, and many times, she is not exempt from vulgarity, because she is not a saint, just an ordinary ordinary.
Although she said that she didn't try her best to do good things, she didn't do bad things! When it came to being a person, she felt that she was at most a mediocre!
"Sister Xin is a good person. Zhou Ting grinned.
"I can't help you with anything, so you can only give you something to eat. Be careful at home!"
"Hmm. Zhou Chen nodded. No one can help with the things in the family, and Sister Xin naturally can't take care of it. Speaking of which, Sister Xin is just here alone! Maybe she has a little money on hand, but life is not very good.
If there is no industry, sooner or later it will be empty. Sister Xin is willing to give them something to eat, and they are already very satisfied and grateful.
As the days passed, Su Ling also chopped a lot of firewood. A large pile of firewood is placed in the firewood room, and it looks really spectacular. It should be able to use it for a while, after all, she is just a person, and she doesn't actually need much firewood.
After a long time, Su Ling almost recognized everyone in Yangjia Village. Most of the people in the village also knew Su Ling.
Su Ling gradually integrated into the crowd in the village. For a little girl who came to this village alone, many people in the village still felt a little pity for her. After all, she's only twelve years old now! she's really just a little girl!
On this day, Su Ling was washing clothes by the river. Although there is a small stream behind the house, there is a small pool, which is very convenient for water. However, Su Ling still likes to go to the river to do laundry, because many people in the village also like to go to the river to do laundry.
It's also nice to wash clothes and talk together.
"Xin'er, your embroidery skills are really good!" Someone saw the handkerchief that Su Ling was washing, but hurriedly took a closer look. "The patterns are really good, if you have time, help me draw a few patterns!"
"Okay! When I'm done, I'll send it to my sister-in-law. Su Ling responded with a smile. Most of the women and girls in the village know how to do needlework, it's just a matter of craftsmanship. There are also people who are very good at embroidery, so they can pick up some guys from town and come back to do it.
Purses, handkerchiefs, etc., if they are well made, they can also be sold for money. If you can embroider a large work, it will be even more valuable. Some people can embroider large screens!
However, in the ordinary village, there are more people who make small objects, and not everyone dares to challenge large-scale pictures. First, there is a lot of investment, and secondly, it takes a long time to embroider a large number of embroideries, and it will not be able to be embroidered overnight.
Women in the countryside are not as noble as women in the city, but they have to work in the fields, so they don't always have time to do embroidery at home.
"Xin'er, your temperament is really good, thank you so much. The sister-in-law of the Liu family, who was talking to Su Ling, said with a smile. Although Xin'er has only been in the village for a long time, she is really very likable. She looks good, smiles clearly, and is really like a little fairy in this village!
The temperament is really good, sometimes ask her for help! As long as she can help, she is very happy to agree.
"It's just a matter of effort. Su Ling smiled slightly. Most of the people in the village are very simple, and it is really nice to get along with such people.
Surrounded by simple and enthusiastic people, how can she not like such an environment!
Su Ling wiped the sweat from her forehead, the weather is getting hotter, and it has begun to enter summer!
was about to leave with a basin, but found that Zhou Chen stumbled over, and stopped abruptly when he came to Su Ling's approach.
Su Ling looked at Zhou Chen in surprise, this kid looked like he had fallen down a few times, and his body was dirty!
"Xiao Chen, what's wrong with you?" Su Ling hurriedly put down the big wooden basin and looked at Zhou Chen up and down, thinking that he had met a robber! Otherwise, how could he make himself such a wolf! Zhou Chen was panting vigorously, unable to say a word.
Su Ling didn't rush to ask him, and waited for him to catch his breath a little.
"Sister Xin, Xiao Chen, please, go and save Xiao Ting!" Zhou Chen suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Ling. Su Ling was really confused all of a sudden, but he still heard the crux of the problem, that is, something must have happened to Xiaoting.
"Xiao Chen, you get up first, you want me to help, and you have to make things clear!" Su Ling helped Zhou Chen up. "You say slowly, what's wrong with Xiaoting?"
