Deng Zhi stiffened her face, she felt that this matter had to rely on the body of the retired book, she looked at the tightly closed door, the anger surged, she couldn't help kicking it, and felt a little more comfortable in her heart.

I didn't think about it, but she just finished kicking, and there were footsteps and scolding from inside: The guy who eats white food, he dares to kick the door of my house, you stop for me!

It's like a fight to beat someone.

Deng Zhi was startled, she ran away with her baggage, she said in her heart, the eldest sister must have been damaged by the Wang family.

――

Zhang's family.

After eating at noon, Su Yu saw that her grandmother's complexion was getting better and better, so she proposed to go back to Sujia Village, the little black donkey at home, and the hares, and the little chicks were all feeding, as well as her vinegar, she also remembered that the things at home had to be watched, but she couldn't come out for a long time.

Mrs. Zhang refused: There is a place for you to live in this house, you can live for a few days, what are you doing in a hurry to go back?

Su Yu said: Grandma, there are still little black donkeys and little chickens at home, no one is watching those things, what can I do if I am robbed, besides, I have something to do when I go back. If she can get the white vinegar out, it would be the best.

Su Aniang's face was hesitant, she also wanted to go back after listening to Erniu's words, or she couldn't rest assured that Mrs. Zhang.

As soon as Su Daniu heard the little chicks, she stood up, and she said a little eagerly: Mother, those little chicks have grown up, and now is the time to feed, I have to go back, otherwise they won't grow up, and they won't be able to lay eggs.

Su Xiaobao also wanted to go back, he wanted to memorize and write, he shook Su A-Niang's hand and hummed: Mother, why don't I go back with the eldest sister and the second sister, you can stay here, and you will go back after a few days when grandma is ready.

No, you kids, why don't you ...... Su A-Niang shook her head again and again.

Su Yu interrupted Su Aniang's words: Mother, the eldest sister is thirteen, and she will be married in two years, where is the child, I am only two years old and an adult, mother, you can rest assured, you see, I can come back from the town by myself, are you afraid of going to the village?

When Su A-Niang heard this, she felt that it made sense.

Su Yu saw that Su A-Niang was convinced, so she looked at Su Da Niu and said: "Sister, do you have anything left behind, let's get ready to go."

Old man Zhang spoke up: Erniu, why didn't your brother come back?

Su Yu sighed and said: Didn't my brother go to prepare to find my father, it is not safe for him to go on the road alone, he went with a big family, but the big family is ready to leave in advance, my brother is preparing things, alas, I am afraid that this trip will take half a year, if you don't prepare well, I am afraid that you will not be able to stand it on the road.

Su A-Niang stood up in shock: What, you're going to leave in just a few days?

Su Yu nodded and said, "Yes."

Su A-Niang became anxious: Erniu, why didn't you say it earlier, no, I have to go back and help Wang'er prepare the clothes she is going to bring, it will be cold this day, but you have to prepare warm clothes, oops, what can I do.

Of course, Su A-Niang knew that Su Wang was leaving, but she didn't expect Su Wang to go so fast, didn't she say that there was still a house to build, she thought that there would be more than ten or twenty days, this was too fast, and she was not mentally prepared.

Su Aniang said to the old man Zhang, Mrs. Zhang: Mother, I really have to go back, I will come to see you later, hey, big girl, second girl, let's go back.

Mrs. Zhang is not worried about her life, but Su Wang is about to leave, and it is clear which is more important at a glance.

Old man Zhang was also taken aback when he heard Erniu say that Su Wang was leaving, and soon, he remembered one thing: Da Chun, don't you still have to build a house, Ah Wang is gone, what can I do about this?

Su A-Niang was worried.

Su Yu said: Don't worry, when the eldest brother's affairs are done, mother, let's build it again, we have told Uncle Xuan, and besides, didn't the uncle also find someone, and if you can't talk, you can't talk about it.

Old man Zhang nodded: That's right, it's okay later, now the village is busy with the reservoir, and there is no time to toss other things, again, your brother and they are also busy, wait for your eldest brother to finish his work, and then let him build a house for your family, Dachun, don't be polite to your brother when the time comes, hand over all the hard work to him, and let your brother come back after the house is built.

Old man Zhang and Mrs. Zhang still love Su Aniang's daughter very much.

Su Yu said solemnly to Old Man Zhang: My brother will definitely come to see you before leaving.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was very happy.

After that, Su A-Niang said that she took Su Yu and left Zhangjia Village together.

Old man Zhang saw that there were so many people missing in the room all of a sudden, and felt very uncomfortable, Mrs. Zhang leaned on the head of the bed and sighed: It's still a girl's intimateness. Not so with daughters-in-law.

Old man Zhang walked out with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept around the courtyard, Xiao Tao was escorted by her mother to wash the dishes, Xiaolu didn't come out of the house, Qing'er's little daughter-in-law was also making clothes in the house, outside the courtyard, there was the laughter of Xiaohu and the boy in the same village, Old Man Zhang sighed, that kid is really full of energy.

Thinking of this, Old Man Zhang couldn't help laughing.

――

Su Yu's family walked home from Zhangjia Village, on the way, the package containing silver was carried by Su A-Niang, Su A-Niang was very careful all the way, she was afraid that someone would hit her idea of the package, until she returned to Sujia Village, Su A-Niang was relieved.

As soon as she entered the village, Su A-Niang saw Mrs. Su, who was carrying a lot of things in her hands, probably just coming back from the town.

Su Yu glanced at her.

Mrs. Su immediately exploded: Don't look at it, even if you are blind to this thing, I won't give you half of it, hum!

The corners of Su Yu's mouth were slightly upturned: Who is rare.

Mrs. Su glanced at Su Aniang's mother and daughter with disdain, and finally her eyes fell on Xiaobao's body, she thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and took out a dough cake from the package, she stuffed the dough cake into Xiaobao's arms, and then left in a hurry.

Su Xiaobao looked at the bread in his arms for a while, and he asked Su Aniang in a whisper: Mother, this bread ...... What to do?

Su A-Niang's eyes flashed slightly.

Su Yu said: Eat it for you, what's polite.

Su Xiaobao walked for so long and was also hungry, he took a bite of the dough, and then handed the dough to Su Yu, second sister, you taste it.

Su Yu shook his head and said: No, you eat by yourself, you will be home soon, there is food at home, if our grandmother sees you give us this thing to eat, she will have to chew the root of her tongue in the village for a long time.

After Su Yu finished speaking, he carried Xiaobao on his back and sped up his pace, and soon, they arrived home.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, it heard the cry of the little black donkey, the grass around the little black donkey was eaten by it, it lay on the ground in a daze, and there were a few lumps of donkey dung around, it saw Su Yu and them coming back, and stood up at once, and then barked.

The chickens at home too, actually ran out, and the yard was full of.

Su Yu frowned, and she asked Su Daniu: Sister, didn't you lock up the chicken when you left?

Su Daniu scratched her head, she said with a little weakness: We are not at home, we have to let them find food by themselves.

Lord Su shook his head and said, "Sister, you are not afraid that the weasel will take them away."

Su Daniu was slightly stunned, but she was afraid for a while, this yard is against the mountain, maybe there is something on the mountain, not to mention the weasel, maybe even the real wolf.

The mountain that Su Yu's family leaned on is quite short, there are several mountains next to it, and the villagers generally turn around on this low mountain next to it, and they will never go to the high mountain on the other side, saying that it is a low mountain, but in fact, it is more than 900 meters.

After they entered the courtyard, Su A-Niang went straight to the West House, she had to find out Wang'er's jacket, the sun was good in the past two days, take it out to wash and dry, it should be dry.

Su Yu saw Su A-Niang take out the jacket, but she thought of the dozens of catties of cotton in her mind, which was useless, so Su Yu said to Su A-Niang: Mother, didn't we buy cotton clothes, why don't we make two new jackets for the eldest brother?

Su A-Niang hesitated: Is it too late?

Su Yu said: Then make one, it's better than the old one, mother, is there a good hand in making clothes in the village, if there is, let's take some cloth and cotton, and drive her to make a jacket and pants, and let everyone take it away when the time comes.

Su Aniang said happily: Yes, I'll go find someone to help. Remembering the matter of Ah Wang, I panicked when I did things, and I couldn't think of anything all of a sudden.

Su A-Niang went to the house to load cotton and cut cloth, Su Yu followed again, she said one more thing: Mother, cotton can't be kept like that, seeing that winter is coming, there will definitely be more people playing cotton at that time, it is better to take advantage of the bullets now, mother, do you know that there is a place to play cotton in the village?

Su A-Niang nodded and said: There is one in the village, I will take you there later.

Cotton, quilt, jacket...... It's all the same, it's indispensable.

Su Yu told again: Mother, if someone asks where you got this cotton, you will generously say that you bought it, if you ask about the silver, you will say that it is a reward given by the yamen, and it is best to tell our uncle about being a fast catcher, you know. This is called taking advantage of the situation.

Su A-Niang said: It's really good for your second uncle to be a catcher, and our family can also get a lot of light.

Su Yu commanded: Let's take the cotton to the cotton first, I'll watch there, lest they lack two pounds and pounds, and stuff the bad cotton into it to fool us, eldest sister, you stay at home and feed the rabbits to feed **, mother, you go with me first, and then go to the village to find someone who can make clothes, let's go.

After Su Yu finished speaking, he looked at Xiaobao again: Xiaobao, you can study by yourself, if you are hungry, tell the eldest sister and let the eldest sister help you get food.

Su Xiaobao nodded: Hmm!

Su Yu put two bags of cotton on the back of the little black donkey, and then led the little donkey to the place where the cotton was played in the village with Su Aniang.

Su Daniu fed the chickens and rabbits, and also swept the yard, she finished sweeping the yard and carried water to wash the yard carefully, and finally washed away the smell in the yard.

The person who played the cotton was called Su Laomian, and her daughter-in-law was called Aunt Mian, and Aunt Mian saw Su Yuniang holding the little black donkey and bringing two bags of cotton, she was taken aback, these two bags of cotton are worth a lot of silver, and this little black donkey, I have never seen such a small donkey in the village, is it the donkey of the Su family?

This can't be, how can the Su family have that spare money, Aunt Mian looked at Su Aniang and Su Yu from head to toe.

Su A-Niang was stared at by her uncomfortably: Sister-in-law Mian, what are you staring at me, there are no flowers on my face.

Aunt Mian muttered: Isn't your family dying of poverty, this, where did these things come from, should they ......

Su Yu laughed and said: Auntie, I p0e helped the yamen to make a meritorious service, this silver is rewarded by the yamen, buying these things is nothing, if you don't believe it, you can go to the yamen to ask, my uncle's family can't get a reward, my second uncle is still a catcher!

She showed off.

I'm afraid that if you don't ask, if you don't ask, when the time comes to build a house, you will have to work hard to explain the source of the money.

Aunt Mian covered her mouth and exclaimed: I have made a meritorious contribution to the yamen! Oh my God, that's a big deal! What have you done?

Su Laomian was also stunned: Your second uncle is going to be a catcher! When the catch is fast? I've never heard of it before!

Su Yubian nodded with a smile, and then she got the two bags of cotton off the donkey, and she said: Uncle, aunt, don't be stunned, my family wants to play cotton, one bed of ten catties, two beds of eight catties.

Aunt Mian came back to her senses at this time, helped Su Yu send the cotton to the scale, began to weigh it, and counted out twenty-six catties of cotton, there was still something left in the bag, and the cotton aunt felt that the quality of this cotton was good, so she said: Erniu's family, if you can't use this cotton, you can sell it to me.

Su A-Niang shook her head and said: I can use this cotton, I have to make cotton clothes for a few children in my family, speaking of which, I don't know if it is enough.

Aunt Mian sighed a little disappointed.

Su Yu helped Su A-Niang put the remaining cotton into the sack, tied it, and she put the bag on the back of the little black donkey, she touched the head of the little black donkey, and said: I was tired just now, but now it is a lot lighter, and I will go to the ridge to cut some tender grass to feed you in the evening.

The little black donkey rubbed Su Yu with his head.

Su Yu smiled softly, this little black donkey is quite human.

Mother, it's done, you can take Xiao Hei with you. Su Yu said to Su A-Niang.

Su A-Niang told Su Yudao: You have to watch it carefully, when it will be played, you are waiting for your mother here, and your mother will carry the quilt back with you.

Su Yu said: Got it.

Su A-Niang led the little black donkey away, and Su Yu was guarding the place where the cotton was played, waiting for them to be bulleted in the three beds.

Aunt Mian handed over the cotton and put it on the board, and then spread the cotton, Su Laomian was not idle, and also helped to do it together, because there was a lot of cotton ash, Su Yu stood far away, anyway, she just needed to watch and not let Su Laomian exchange bad cotton for new cotton.

It wasn't until it was dark that the three beds of cotton were played, and Su Laomian was too tired for them, so Su Yu walked over and asked: Auntie, what is the price.

Aunt Mian drank a whole bowl of water, and then gasped and said: Thirty Wen.

Su Yu pointed to the two eight-pound quilts and asked: Aren't these two ten-pound ones ten pounds, but also ten pounds?

Aunt Mian said: Yes, eight catties and ten catties are a price.

Su Yu said: Auntie, I didn't bring any money, I'll give it when my mother comes.

All right. Aunt Mian also learned that Su Yu should not have money in her hands, how can she put money in the hands of children.

However, she was still thinking about the yamen's reward for silver, so she leaned into Su Yu's ear and asked: "Erniu, can you tell your aunt the truth, do you really have that reward?"

Su Yu smiled: Of course it's true, this is about the yamen, auntie, think about it, if I tell a lie, can the people of the yamen spare me?

Aunt Mian was right to think about it, but she asked: What did she help? She died of curiosity.

Su Yu thought, there is nothing to hide about this, just hide the identity of the prefect's son, so she said: I sparked away a few traffickers with my uncle in the town, and also helped save a few rich young masters.

Aunt Mian was shocked, it turned out that the silver was given by a rich family, no wonder. She was envious in her heart, why couldn't it be their turn to do this.

It was dark, Su A-Niang took the little black donkey to pick up Su Yu, Su Yu put two ten-pound quilts on the little black donkey, she and Su A-Niang hugged an eight-pound one, this little black donkey is still small, you have to take care of it.

Su Yu said to Su Aniang: Mother, my aunt said that she would ask for thirty yuan.

Su A-Niang took out thirty wen from her pocket and handed it to Aunt Mian, the price was the same as before, Su Yu saw this, and knew that the price was the normal price, and she didn't pit her.

On the way, Su A-Niang said to Su Yu: The cotton and cloth are handed over to the sister-in-law who embroiders the fastest in the village, and you can get it in two days, but the price is a little more expensive, I am going to make underwear for Wang'er for a few years, Erniu, you can make socks for your eldest brother.

Got it, mother.

The two walked all the way, talked all the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

――

Zhang's family.

Uncle Zhang returned home dejectedly, and the Deng family didn't even find any trace, but what made him strange was that the family was not as dull as when he went out early, but very cheerful.

Uncle Zhang went to the main house with doubts.

As soon as he entered, Mrs. Zhang pulled him over, leaned into his ear and said mysteriously: Daming, the yamen gave you a reward of fifteen taels of silver!
