Chapter IV

Su Jinshi followed Nian Su all the way to home, and when he saw Nian Su's house, Su Jinshi understood what an adobe house was.

Nian Su's family lives in a small village outside Taohua Town, the population in the village is not large, and every family is basically an adobe house, and Nian Su's house is considered poor in this village.

The walls are made of earth, the windows are made of random branches, and the roof is made of sparse branches and straw.

Su Jinshi's heart was sour, she had never seen such a humble house.

"Mother, I've got Nian Su back!" Nian Qiang shouted in the courtyard.

Out of the room came a woman dressed in gray cloth with a broom in her hand, "You still know to come back?" If you don't wash your clothes and cook your meals, will you be lazy when you want to get married? ”

The woman threw the broken broom in her hand in front of Nian Su, "Hurry up and sweep the floor for me, and go cook when you're done!" ”

Nian Su lowered his head and picked up the broom on the ground, and walked to the house silently, while the woman stayed in the courtyard, and when she saw Nian Qiang standing stupidly, she said coldly: "What are you doing standing here?" Why don't you go outside and see if there are any hares? What's the use of reading those picture books all day long! ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Nian Qiang's eyes, but he also went out obediently, and the woman was still chattering in the yard.

Su Jinshi hid in the dark and looked at the family, it was not as patriarchal as she thought, looking at the appearance of this woman, a pair of children were the objects of her orders.

Taking advantage of the woman's departure, Su Jinshi quickly flashed into the room, and when he saw Nian Su lowering his head and sweeping the floor seriously, he couldn't help frowning: "Nian Su! ”

Nian Su turned her head to look at Su Jinshi in surprise, she didn't expect Su Jinshi to appear here at all, "Why are you here?" ”

Su Jinshi snatched the broom in Nian Su's hand and threw it aside, "Your mother has always told you to do things like this?" ”

Nian Su frowned and picked up the broom and said, "You hurry up and leave, my mother will be back soon." ”

Su Jinshi didn't leave, but asked, "Nian Su, you sue me, has your family always been like this?" Your brother is young...... And all the time? ”

Nian Su didn't answer Su Jinshi, and began to sweep the floor by himself, "Su Jinshi, you are not welcome here, you can leave quickly." ”

Su Jinshi couldn't help but stomp his feet when he saw Nian Su's very stubborn appearance, but he didn't want to ask again.

"Then I'll go first, if you need any help, just come to me, I'm the daughter of the owner of the Su family's tavern in the town."

Nian Su didn't nod or shake his head, Su Jinshi sighed and could only leave.

The sun was very good at noon, the breeze was warm, and the passers-by in the town were in a hurry, and they all went home for dinner, and when Su Jinshi arrived at his tavern, Su Xin was already closed.

"Dad, let's go home together." Su Jinshi stepped forward and helped Su Xin close the door together.

Su Xin glanced at Su Jinshi and said, "You girl, you are not at home well, where did you slip away?" ”

Su Jinshi looked at the handful of beards and said coquettishly: "Dad, I'm not here to help you close the door, I'll help you work in the store in the afternoon, okay?" ”

Su Xin looked at Su Jinshi's delicate appearance, and he was a little angry, "You, stay at home and be a female celebrity, and I will be satisfied." ”

Su Jinshi didn't speak, and followed Su Xin home, Zhao had already made lunch, and there was a rare plate of meat on the table, and Su Jinshi's eyes lit up.

"Mother, eat meat today!" Su Jinshi swallowed his saliva, his eyes staring directly at the plate of meat.

Zhao glanced at Su Jinshi, and when he saw that his daughter didn't understand the rules like this, he sighed again, "I haven't settled the account you sneaked out of today, you are not allowed to eat meat!" ”

When Su Jinshi heard Zhao say this, he said anxiously: "Mother, mother, my good mother!" You're the best, you can't eat all the meat, what if it's left to spoil? ”

"I won't give it to you if it's broken." Zhao was setting up the dishes and chopsticks, and when she saw Su Jin, she was becoming more and more unruly, if she apologized well, she wouldn't say anything, but she didn't have the slightest intention of repenting, and her anger also came up.

As soon as Su Jinshi heard this, she knew that her mother was really angry, she was also anxious, she only ate meat once in half a month, this time she couldn't eat it, but she had to wait for the 14th, she had only eaten meat twice since she crossed, it was not that her family was poor, the town was geographically remote, and there were not many pig farmers, so pork was in short supply, and the price was rising.

I think she has meat to eat every day in modern times, like she only eats meat once every half a month now.

"Mother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have sneaked out to play, should I learn from you as a female worker in the afternoon? Forgive me, okay? ”

Su Jinshi thought that she even said that she was a female worker in order to eat meat, and if she didn't give her food, she would really run away from home!

"It's rare that Jinshi has such an awareness, you just let her eat, Jinshi will be sensible." Su Xin played a round and said, "Your cooking skills are getting better and better, and it smells so good." ”

Su Xin also gave the Zhao family a step, and the Zhao family didn't pursue it, but said: "You girl, don't forget to be a female worker later, a good girl is outside all day long." ”

"Yes, yes, I listen to my mother, I will do whatever my mother asks me to do!" Su Jinshi smiled.

The whole family sat down, probably because it was rare to eat meat, this meal was very fragrant, Su Xin was kind and poured a bowl of wine to drink, the old man drank the wine, and the whole person was a lot happier.

"Old woman, go and see how the jars of wine under the peach blossom tree at home are brewed, they have been buried for ten years, and it is time for them to see the light!" Su Xin said angrily.

Zhao was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and when he heard Su Xin say this, he handed over the work to Sun and Su Jinshi, and went to look at the jars of wine.

"Father, how is this wine made? Do I want to succeed? Su Jinshi took advantage of Zhao's absence and whispered to Su Xin.

Su Xin was not yet drunk, and when he heard Su Jinshi say this, he immediately blew his beard and glared, "You don't want to learn from female workers, what to learn from wine!" You girl just don't make people worry! ”

Su Jinshi pursed his lips, poured a bowl of wine for Su Xin, and said: "Dad, you don't know this, you see that after I get married, if I can make wine, my family will drink the wine I brewed, so you can save a lot of expenses!" Isn't that wonderful? ”

Su Xin drank a bowl of wine and thought about it, it seems that this is the case, if this girl gets married, she will indeed save a sum of money by making wine, and if it is brewed well, her in-laws will not bully her.

Su Xin was still hesitating, Su Jinshi looked at him and seemed to be tempted, poured him another bowl of wine, and then made persistent efforts and said: "Dad, if you teach me how to make wine, my daughter will obediently learn from her mother and learn to cook, how about it?" ”

When Su Xin heard this, he drank wine and said, "Okay! Tomorrow I'll teach you how to make wine, it's not fun, it takes a lot of work to make it well. ”

"Mmmm, my daughter must do her best to study!"

Su Jinshi's eyebrows and eyes were crooked when he smiled, and Su Xin laughed when he saw it.

**

Su Jinshi followed Zhao's to learn to make vegetable female red during the day, and made wine with Su Xin at night, a few days passed, Su Jinshi's winemaking skills have improved, and the dishes he made can also be eaten, but the female red can't learn anything, only simple sewing and mending, embroidering and making clothes like that is still not possible.

The big cow next door also began to arrange to get married, Zhao and Su Jinshi also went to help, although the big cow is weak, but the person is not bad, the chicken raised at home laid eggs, so he gave Zhao a few eggs.

It's just that Su Jinshi often thinks of Nian Su in the village next door, and she hasn't seen Nian Su since that day, whether it's by the river where they met for the first time or where they met for the second time, she hasn't seen Nian Su.

Su Jinshi occasionally recalled the day when the two of them fell into the water together, her tender yellow belly pocket against her body and clothes, and her white greasy neck with wet hair.
