Aunt Zhao saw that the courtyard was locked and was about to go back, but as soon as she turned around, she heard the sound of something falling to the ground in the courtyard.

Aunt Zhao turned back again, she put her ear to the door and listened carefully, but after listening for a long time, there was no sound in the house.

Aunt Zhao pondered, she must have heard the sound right now, but there is no sound in this room now, could it be that the sound just now was that a mouse hit something, or a weasel, it seems that there is really no one in this Su family at home.

Aunt Zhao shook her head, then turned around and went back.

On the way, she met Aunt Hua, and she asked a lot: Sister Hua, is this Su family going out, I see that her door is locked.

Aunt Hua smiled: Yes, I have already gone out, I went to the town, I have been living, there is no one in the house, didn't the merchant come to the village two days ago, and I went to her house a few times, according to me, even if the Su family is at home, they will not buy anything, and the merchant is really not eye-catching.

Aunt Zhao smiled: It turned out that when I went to the town, I said that the lock on the door seemed to be rusty.

Aunt Hua asked Aunt Zhao: Are you here to call Xiao Zhang? What's the matter with her?

When Aunt Zhao heard this, her old face smiled like a flower: It's not my Anan, I'm going to get married in a few days, you must come over.

Aunt Hua said: This is a happy event.

Aunt Zhao said: Yes, you must remember to come over, I have a small family, and the villagers in this township are just trying to be lively, don't dislike it.

Aunt Hua smiled: I will definitely go. After she finished speaking, she paused for a while and said: Sister Zhao, but, no one will come to make trouble on the day of marriage, if this is the case, I will show you a joke, I think you should prepare well in advance, after all, the Qiao family is not a small village, maybe it will come to make trouble.

When Aunt Zhao heard this, her face sank: What are you talking about, what does my family's Anan marriage have to do with the person surnamed Qiao, even if she came over on the day of marriage, what can she do, what does she dare to do? Aunt Zhao said it badly, but she was beating a drum in her heart, and tears began to appear on her forehead, this surnamed Qiao Ruozhen came to the door on the day of Anan's marriage, how ugly it was.

The smile on Aunt Hua's face also turned cold: Yes, since that's the case, then I should be too talkative. Well, just treat her as a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions, and blame her for being too talkative.

Aunt Zhao felt that her words just now were a little rushed, so she took Aunt Hua's hand and said: I didn't mean that, I just heard you say that Anan's family affairs will be ruined, aren't I anxious, alas, I am such a son, getting married is a big thing, can I not be in a hurry, Sister Hua, look at my mouth, if you are in a hurry, you will talk nonsense, don't take it to heart.

Aunt Hua's face softened a little, and she lowered her voice and said: Sister Zhao, we are from a village, the person surnamed Qiao is an outsider after all, you better prepare early, if the matter of Widow Su is listened to by the new daughter-in-law, maybe there will be any trouble, you better be careful.

Aunt Zhao held Aunt Hua's hand and said: Sister, you still think carefully, alas, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I want to cook the raw rice into real rice first, so that even if the surname Qiao is found, I am not afraid, when the new daughter-in-law becomes a member of my family, she regrets that it must be too late, even if she wants to leave, there will be no approval.

Aunt Hua said: This matter is undecided, so it's better to make more plans. Oops, my water is boiling, I won't tell you, let's talk next time.

Aunt Zhao said: Okay, okay, I'll come to you when you're free.

After speaking, Aunt Hua went back to the house, Aunt Zhao also went home, as soon as Aunt Zhao returned home, she saw Anan burning in the kitchen, and Ah Ling was eating dim sum in the house, as soon as Aunt Zhao came back, then Ah Ling got up, she was a little panicked, I saw her put down the snack in her hand, and then ran to the kitchen with her head down, ready to take over the work in Sunan's hands, but Anan held the spatula and refused to give it to her: Don't, you go to the house to rest, I'll do it, this kitchen is smoky, go to the house to rest, I'm good at this stir-fry, I'll do it.

Hearing this, Aunt Zhao felt uncomfortable.

Marrying a daughter-in-law is used to summon, and this daughter-in-law has not yet entered the door, so she summons her son, what is this?

Aunt Zhao shouted: Anan, you quickly put the spatula in your hand for me, you go to your uncle to discuss where to do this thing, how many guests to invite, and this house has to be decorated, seeing that this wedding date is coming, what are you still tired of here?

When Sunan heard this, the expression on his face was a little complicated, seeing that the dishes in the pot were almost ready, he put the dishes in the pot in, put them on the stove, and then added water to the pot, and after that, he said to Ah Ling: You go to the house, I have something to say to my mother.

Ah Ling nodded lightly: Okay. She took small steps back to the house.

Outside the door, Sunan pulled his mother aside, Sunan said: Mother, didn't I tell you, I have nothing to do with Xiaoling, why don't you always listen.

Aunt Zhao didn't believe it: It's nothing, you take her home, I said that you are a pair of her, and she didn't object, and she was very shy, not what is the default, you tell you, you don't delay this matter, anyway, I told your uncle that I would do the family affair in five days, and I also told Ah Ling, and she agreed.

Sunan frowned: No, I told Xiao Qiao that I wanted to marry her, isn't this marriage between me and Xiao Qiao, why is it between me and Ah Ling, mother, you are mistaken.

Aunt Zhao clapped her hands and said: That's right, that's it, anyway, I only recognize Ah Ling as a daughter-in-law here, but she is a yellow flower girl, not a widow of Nasu! I can tell you, if you are disobedient, don't recognize me as a mother in the future!

Sunan also stiffened his neck and said: You just have to do it, I will definitely not show up that day.

Aunt Zhao was so angry that she was about to twist Sunan's ears to say him, but at this moment, she saw Ah Ling walking out of the house, and she smiled at Ah Nan: Brother Anan, the water in the house is boiling, you go and take a look, I have something to say to Aunt Zhao.

It just so happened that Sunan didn't want to continue talking to Aunt Zhao, he turned around and went to the kitchen, he was also a little wavering, according to him, the relationship with Xiao Qiao is undoubted, but this Ah Ling's life experience is too pitiful, and people are also delicate, if no one protects him, he may die at some point, Anan is a little relieved, so ah, this has been hesitating.

Outside the kitchen, Ah Ling pulled Aunt Zhao back to the house, the two sat in the house, Ah Ling opened her mouth first, and she said softly: Aunt Zhao, my relationship with Brother Nan is really troublesome to you.

Aunt Zhao said with a smile: Anan is my own son, this is also a happy event for our family, what's the trouble, okay, you take care of your body these days, get fatter, and strive to give Anan a big fat boy in the future.

Ah Ling smiled shyly.

Aunt Zhao stood up and said: I'll go to the kitchen to see, Anan, a stinky boy, hasn't cooked a few times seriously, and I don't know if the food it cooks can be eaten. After she finished speaking, she also glanced at Ah Ling.

Ah Ling hurriedly stood up and said: Auntie, if you become a relative in the future, you can teach me to cook, I don't know, but I can learn.

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she was happy again: Okay, good.

Ah Ling smiled and watched Aunt Zhao leave the house, as soon as Aunt Zhao left, she sat down, the expression on her face became cold and cold, this family is very coaxing, if she stays, she can live a dull life in the future.

It's just, live with such a mediocre man for the rest of your life, okay?

――

town.

Su Daniu and Su A-Niang brought back Xiaobao at noon, Su Da Niu and Su A-Niang's faces were full of joy, Su Da Niu couldn't help but say when she saw Su Erniu: Erniu, our Xiaobao has entered a private place, the old gentleman said that Xiaobao is smart and willing to accept him! Because I live at home, that bundle of silver for one or two a year is not much!

Su Yu was originally painting the wall, and after she heard this, she stood on the wooden ladder and said to Su Daniu: Eldest sister, don't look at the lack of silver, the money in that pen and paper is a lot, and the money for the book, eldest sister, what is the old gentleman teaching now, have you bought a book for Xiaobao?

Xiaobao squeezed under Su Yu's wooden ladder and said: Second sister, I am teaching thousand-character literature first, I am in a small class, and I have learned the thousand-character text, so I can keep up, so I don't need to buy books. His eyes were as bright as stars.

Su Yu came down from the wooden ladder, she touched Xiaobao's head, and said: You have to learn hard with Mr., learn well, and teach us to read and write in the future.

Su Xiaobao nodded heavily, and then smiled at Gao Ping Gaole, and he said to them: Wait until you know more words, and I will teach you when I come back.

Gao Ping and Gao Le's eyes were also full of joy.

Su Yu asked Xiaobao: Where did you put the paper, pen and inkstone I bought for you last time, remember to bring it when you go to private tomorrow.

After Su Yu finished speaking, she said to Su Daniu: I'm afraid that the paper last time was not enough, eldest sister, if you are free, go to the bookstore to buy some paper for Xiaobao and come back, as well as the four books and five classics, and you have to prepare for it if you want to learn it in the future.

Su Daniu was in a hurry to use it when she heard it, and hurriedly said: Okay, good.

Su A-Niang also said: Let's go buy it after dinner, while East Street is still there, let's buy more things.

Su Yu laughed on the side and said nothing.

If you buy a few more books, dozens of taels are less, and it is not easy to read in ancient times.

Su A-Niang was still immersed in the joy of Xiaobao being able to go to school, until she went to the bookstore with Su Daniu and asked the price of the book, she was dumbfounded, the four books and five classics, just one book, cost four or five taels of silver, which is still not thin or thick, and the thicker one, it is almost ten taels, and there are dozens of taels, saying what kind of boutique, saying which of everyone's old books, it is full of remarks.

When Su A-Niang and Su Yu came out of the bookstore, their faces were blue.

Su Daniu held a stack of papers and two or two books, and muttered: It cost a full eight taels of silver for a trip here, and this reading is really a lot of money.

Su A-Niang nodded and said: Yes, if you don't want to earn money, then Xiaobao won't be able to read for a few years.

They went home with sad faces, completely devoid of the joy of the morning, as soon as Su Daniu came back, she looked for Su Yu: Erniu, this book is too expensive, what can Xiaobao do if he wants to buy a book in the future?

Su Yudao: What are you afraid of, when Xiaobao is older, if the handwriting is good, you can copy books, just borrow books in the bookstore and copy them, only need some paper money, but it is cheap, and ah, you can make money by copying books.

Su Daniu and Su A-Niang breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Su Daniu and the others came back, Xiaobao ran over, and now listening to Su Yu's words, he clenched his little fists tightly and said: I will try my best to practice the words well.

Su Yu squatted down and said to Xiaobao: Go to study hard, don't worry about money, and when the shop at home opens, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to earn money.

Su Xiaobao looked at the small room in front of the courtyard, his eyes were full of awe, he was still counting on this shop to go to school.

Su Daniu looked at the shop and said: What does that shop sell, does it sell food?

Su Yu shook his head and said: Don't sell food, this is not a good time now, don't leave the food still, let's not sell food, sell ready-to-wear, sell tricks, it's not accurate yet, let me think about it again.

Su Daniu frowned and said: I heard that this ready-to-wear is not easy to sell.

The corners of Su Yu's mouth curled: You have to try this thing to know, hang the clothes there, whoever wants to buy them, there are big and small sizes, as long as the clothes are good-looking, someone will always buy them.

However, the embroidery girl of the embroidery village is amazing, their ability to imitate clothes is not bad, if this style is copied by them, the clothes you said will not be wasted? Su A-Niang asked.

Su Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm thinking about it." In ancient times, there were many embroiderers, and there were many people who knew how to make clothes, and good clothes were naturally imitated, such as now, clothes, somehow, Su Yu's mind suddenly appeared like a bra.

Su Yu's eyes moved, do you want to try?
