Chapter Eighty-Seven: Mother's Family

"Go back and tell your boss, saying that I, Song Caiwei, will go to the town to find him when I have time."

After reading the letter, Song Caiwei looked at Zhang Liu, who was standing aside, with a smile on her face.

Zhang Liu stood aside respectfully, nodded in reply, and turned around and walked out.

"Wei girl, go back and clean up, and we'll go to your grandma's house later."

After Song Caiwei saw Zhang Liu away, she was sitting on a chair thinking about things when she heard Su's voice calling her.

"Hey, I'm going to clean it up."

Because Song Chengwen was going to be conscripted into the army the day after tomorrow, before leaving, plus he had promised Su Yang to go back to his parents' house earlier, so Su chose to go back to his parents' house today.

So hearing the excitement that couldn't be hidden in Su's voice, Song Caiwei also understood, went out of the main room, and looked at the sun, about this time, it was about half past eight in modern time.

Song Caiwei chuckled, I didn't expect Zhang Liu to come early today, yawned, Song Caiwei slandered, no wonder she was so sleepy today, it was very immoral to disturb others to sleep early in the morning.

And Zhang Liu, who had already driven away, felt a cold wind blowing in his ears at this moment, sneezed, and reached out and scratched his head without a head, thinking, who is scolding me.

On the other hand, when Song Caiwei cleaned up, she didn't actually clean up much, but she just took the two boxes of snacks sent by Zhang Zhi and Zhang Liu.

When I went out, I saw that the whole family, except for Song Qingxiang, was already sitting on the ox cart borrowed from the fat aunt's house.

"Wei girl, get in the car, I'll go and lock the door first."

The mud wall of Song Caiwei's house was repaired the day before yesterday, but it was only in a small circle. I didn't enclose all the six acres, because the amount of work was too large.

Because there are many people in the family, Song Cailian and Song Caiwei are sitting on both sides of the car. put his legs down, Su Shi sat in the middle with Xiao Liu in his arms, Xiao Wu sat at the front, Song Caiqing sat next to him and took care of him, while Song Chengwen sat in the back of the car to prevent him from encountering a place that was difficult to walk, so he could get out of the car and push it at any time.

And Song Qingxiang was sitting in the front of the car to drive the big scalper.

Su's maiden family. That is, Song Caiwei's grandmother's house is a village called Sulou in the north of Shangliu Village and on the edge of Heitu Town on the border with Shangqing Town.

Actually, it's not too far away. It doesn't take an hour to walk.

However, if you take an ox cart, the travel time will naturally be cut in half.

So it was about nine o'clock in the twenty-first century, and Song Caiwei, who was sitting on the ox cart, saw Su Lou at ten o'clock.

Like Song Caiwei's family, Song Caiwei's grandmother's family also lives in the east of the village.

There is a two-hundred-year-old willow tree at the east end of the village. In my memory, Song Caiwei came when she was a child. I didn't miss out on playing under this willow tree.

The closer the ox cart got to Su Lou, Song Caiwei could feel that Su was nervous, she hadn't come back for a long time, Su was in this mood, Song Caiwei understood, and Song Qingxiang also understood, so Song Qingxiang sped up the speed of the car with a wave of the whip.

"The thieves of the Su family are really arrogant, and they enter my house in broad daylight. Stealing my east's chickens and turning over my west's windows. You guard against everyone, and thieves have nowhere to hide. ”

Before the ox cart reached the entrance of the village, Song Caiwei's family heard a group of children reciting this limerick poem, and Su's face turned blue and white after hearing it.

"Su Ergouzi, how did my family offend you, let you scold my family like this, see if I don't tell your father, let your father beat you to death."

As soon as the voices of a group of children fell, they heard a girl's voice, and there was no crying in the voice, only a bit of forbearance and a bit of grievance.

"Who is afraid of you, Su Wen, your father is a thief, this is something that we all know in Sulou Village, and I am still afraid that you will tell my father."

This is one of a group of children, and it seems that it should be the head of this group of children.

"Ah, murder, Su Wen murdered."

However, as soon as the child's words were finished, the child's pig-killing shouts were heard, mixed with the cries of other children and the sound of brooms hitting the meat.

"Su Wen told you, don't think I won't dare to beat you."

Probably because he was in a hurry, so the kid was a little annoyed, grabbed the broom in Su Wen's hand, and then raised the broom to return it, but the broom seemed to be stumped by something.

When the child looked back, it turned out to be a boy who was much taller than him, and the boy was staring at him, and that look suddenly made the head of the child named Su Ergouzi shiver.

Then he let out a 'whoop' and threw down the broom and ran.

And Su Wen, who closed her eyes, was waiting for the broom to fall on her body, but she heard the shouts of Su Ergouzi, and Su Wen looked up.

On the delicate face, he immediately smiled: "Big cousin." ”

"Are you alright?"

The person who came was Song Chengwen, seeing his cousin Su Wen being bullied, Song Chengwen was the first to jump out of the car and run here.

However, although he saw that his cousin was fine, Song Chengwen still asked with concern.

"It's okay, you don't think I'm doing well."

Su Wen saw that Song Chengwen was worried about herself, although she was still very uncomfortable because of what happened just now, she still barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

After that, he shrugged his shoulders again, made a relaxed look, and after laughing, he looked behind Song Chengwen, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Uncle, sister-in-law."

To be honest, I heard earlier that my uncle, who had been missing for two years, had returned, and the second uncle also said a few days ago that my sister-in-law's family would come from home to visit my grandmother.

But Su Wen really didn't expect that her sister-in-law's family would come at this time, and it would come so suddenly, so Su Wen was still very excited in her heart, so she left Song Chengwen and ran to the ox cart.

"Wen girl has grown taller again, and she has grown into a big girl, hehe."

It was Song Qingxiang who spoke, and he had already gotten off the ox cart at this time, so when he saw Su Wenmei shouting with a smile, Song Qingxiang was also very happy and praised.

However, after glancing at Su Shi, who was still sitting on the ox cart, with a lonely look on his face, his brows furrowed together, and Song Qingxiang sighed lightly in his heart.

Turning his head, he laughed innocently twice. said: "Okay, hurry up and go back, your sister-in-law also thinks about your grandmother." You see you're almost at home, and you're still stunned like this. ”

"Well, okay, if my grandmother knew that my sister-in-law came to see her, maybe she would be happy."

Seeing that Su Shi's face was wrong on the ox cart, Su Wen also knew that her sister-in-law was sad about what happened just now.

So he also played haha, walked in front to lead the way, and then took Song Cailian's hand when he got off the ox cart. The two talked and laughed.

Su Wen is the daughter of her uncle Su Fengnian, who is twelve years old this year, probably forced by the situation at home. has developed a pungent temperament, which is compatible with Song Cailian's temperament, so the relationship between the two is exceptionally good.

Along the way, there was a lot of laughter and laughter. It's only half a cup of tea. The group came to Su's house.

"Little sister, little brother-in-law is here, I can see that it's you from afar, hey, this is Xiaoliu, it's so old, this is the first time I've come to grandma's house."

Before he could reach the door, a woman in a reddish-brown linen coat and trousers was waiting there, her long inky hair pulled up only by a shiny mahogany hairpin. Although there are three or two patches in the outfit, it is quite neat.

This person is Song Caiwei's second aunt Xu Jia. The Xu family is in Chinese New Year's Eve and has only two daughters, Su Yu (12 years old) and Su Xue (10 years old).

Originally, if he was left in an ordinary family and failed to give birth to a son, he would not be able to raise his head in front of the family, but because he was in the Su family, the Xu family lived exceptionally well.

Of course, this is also based on the premise that Xu is virtuous, down-to-earth and capable.

Xu was sitting in the courtyard just now and shortened the pigweed with a guillotine, when he saw Song Qingxiang's family coming here from a distance. So Xu quickly got up and waited at the door.

Of course, seeing Song Qingxiang's family coming, Xu's heart was of course happy, so before Song Qingxiang's family could speak, the enthusiastic Xu walked to the ox cart, and while talking, he picked up Xiaoliu in Su's arms.

"Second sister-in-law."

"Second aunt."

Similarly, Song Caiwei's family was very excited when they saw Xu's, so when they were free, they greeted Xu's family.

"What's polite, hurry, hurry up and go into the house to rest, it's all gone all the way."

Seeing that several children greeted him politely, Xu smiled even more, hugged the well-behaved little six in his arms, and led the big guy to the house.

Then he also ordered Su Wen to call Su Yang and Su Ke, who were working as helpers in the village, back.

"Sister-in-law."

"Auntie."

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Yan coming out of the house when he heard the movement, and the same family said hello politely.

"It's coming."

is not as stormy as Xu's, Yan's temperament is much calmer, but when he saw Song Caiwei's family, his thin face was also smiling.

While still busy and warmly entertaining Song Caiwei's family to sit down, he also instructed Su Yu, who was standing on the side, to bring some hot water.

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy anymore, hurry up and rest, I'll go see our mother."

Looking at Yan, who was only a few years older than him, he was busy, and seeing that Yan's head was mixed with very obvious white hair, Su sighed lightly, and quickly pulled Yan not to let her be busy.

"What's the busy, it's just to make a cup of tea, and I'm still tired, besides, it's not for you, but I have to pour some tea for my uncle, I can't let my uncle come, and I won't let him drink tea."

Hearing Su's words, Yan didn't pay attention to her, and was still busy in his hands, serving tea bowls and making tea leaves.

At the end, he added: "If you want to see our mother, our mother is in the back room, but our mother just fell asleep, don't wake her up." ”

Seeing that it was useless to stop him, Su Shi couldn't, so he had to get up and walk into the house by himself, and at the same time stretched out his hand to stop the old and young people who were going to follow, for fear that the old and young people would be noisy and wake up the Wu family who was sleeping.

As soon as Su left, the atmosphere in the hall was still lively.

After a while, the Su family sisters and the Song family sisters, who had not seen each other for a long time, became a mess, and there was not even half a bit of strangeness between them.

After waiting for a while, Su Yang led Su Ke and Su Wen who went to call them back.

After each of them saw each other, the room became more lively for a while, and Yan and Xu also went to the kitchen to start preparing lunch.

After playing with her sisters for a while, Song Caiwei lost interest, but sat down and looked at the family carefully.

As soon as she entered the Su family, Song Caiwei's first impression was that the Su house was very large, and the second was that the Su family was not rich.

However, looking at the few earthen houses standing on the house, as well as the tattered tiles on the roof, Song Caiwei thought for a moment that this was no different from the earthen house she lived in a few months ago, before Song Qingxiang came back.

Look at the shabby furnishings in the house, as well as the various patched clothes worn by the Su family, where is this not rich, this is simply poor.

However, the most valuable thing in this house is probably the half-sized pig in the yard and a few old hens that can lay eggs.

As for the situation of the people at home, Song Caiwei also has a general understanding.

The eldest in the family is Song Caiwei's grandmother Wu, Wu doesn't know when she got seriously ill, she was paralyzed on the kang all day long and couldn't walk on the ground, and she had to rely on medicine to support her body all year round.

The second is Yan's Yan Yuefang, Yan's Chinese New Year's Eve is five years old today, and there is a son Su Ke who is seventeen years old this year, but he has not yet married, if he is married at this age in the 21st century, he will definitely be pointed at, but if he is not married at this age, he will definitely be poked in the backbone.

The first daughter is Su Wen, who is only eleven years old this year, and her birthday is only older than Song Cailian, but her temperament is hot, which is not with the calm and introverted Yan family.

As for Song Caiwei's uncle Su Fengnian, Song Caiwei had only heard a little about her uncle stealing cattle from a farmer's family in the village many years ago, and was sued by someone else's family to the county government.

But in the end, how the county government fell, Song Caiwei naturally didn't know, she knew that it was just that her uncle Su Fengnian had never come back since he went to the county office.

This is also the reason why Yan is only in his thirties, and he has gray hair for the first time.

followed by the second uncle Su Yang, and the second aunt Xu Jia, they are only thirty-two years old and have Su Yu and Su Xue.

Probably because Xu is an extroverted person, so Su Yu and Su Xue are also like this, and they are all lively and active.

It is estimated that only the second uncle Su Yang is still a little introverted in their family.

The Su family is not separated, they all live together, although the room is a little less, fortunately, there are not many people in the Su family, so you can still live if you squeeze it.

Over the years, although the Su family has been supported by Su Yang, and from time to time they have found some trivial odd jobs to earn some money, but because they have to raise a large family, they also have to give medicine to the Wu family, and after Su Fengnian stole cattle back then, because he had to compensate others, the Su family's little money was compensated.

Therefore, the Su family now only has five acres of medium land with little yield per mu.

The Su family has a tight life, which can be seen.

However, the most fortunate thing is that the Su family married two good daughters-in-law of the Xu family and the Yan family, both of whom are capable, and the Wu family, who has been lying on the kang for several years, has been taken care of by the two of them for many years.

I've never heard anyone complain, and the two are quite harmonious. (To be continued.) )
