143 Moving to buy firewood

Second Uncle Zhang said again: There is another thing that is very strange, there is not a single thing missing at home, although many of them have been searched out of the cabinet and thrown on the ground, but those people have not taken anything.

Su A-Niang looked at Second Uncle Zhang and asked anxiously: Our things were thrown out? Who did this to you? Is there anything wrong with that child? When did this happen?

Second Uncle Zhang comforted: The child is fine, everything is fine, but the things at home are dirty.

Su Aniang's heart tightened, could it be for the silver?

She didn't dare to hide all the silver tickets on her body, and a large part of them were hidden in the house, was it for her silver tickets? Su A-Niang ran into the West House with a white face, as soon as she entered the house, her heart was cold, the bricks in the cracks in the wall, and the bricks on the ground had traces of moving, Su A-Niang's fingers trembled and moved the bricks away.

Silver ticket, silver ticket?

Gone!

Su Aniang's eyes were dark, and she almost fell headlong.

Su Yu came with Su A-Niang, she saw that Su A-Niang's expression was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Su A-Niang, she asked: Mother, what's wrong?

Su A-Niang muttered: The silver ticket, it's gone.

Su Yu asked: How much?

Su Aniang said: There are thirty taels, I keep the fifteen taels issued by the yamen, and the remaining twenty taels are still on my body today, but the thirty taels hidden below are gone!

Su Yu asked Su Aniang: The fifteen taels of silver must still be there?

When Su A-Niang heard this, she suddenly stood firm again, she rushed out of the door at once, and walked towards the shed of the little black donkey, where the silver was hidden, it should be ...... It's okay, she's hiding it tightly!

However, after experiencing the incident just now, Su A-Niang was a little unsure, this time it was not a silver ticket, but a real silver, if it was really gone, she estimated that she would have the heart to die. To be honest, a silver ticket is not as solid as silver in your hand.

At this time, Su Yu walked out of the West House, only to see that she was holding a thin silver ticket in her hand, which was the twenty taels that Su A-Niang was missing, Su A-Niang saw the silver ticket in Su Yu's hand, half surprised and half delighted, isn't this gone?

Su Yu said: I was pressed by the quilt on the ground, I opened it just now, and it was down there, and it was not stolen.

Su A-Niang saw that the twenty taels of silver were indeed the ones she had hidden before, and couldn't help but rejoice: Fortunately, it was not stolen, but God blesses. If she lost twenty taels in vain, then she would have to cry several times.

Su Yu handed the silver ticket to Su Aniang, and said at the same time: Mother, those don't know who they are, since you said that today is an auspicious day, let's move, otherwise, what can those people do if they come back at night, mother, I can tell you, those people patronized our house, they didn't touch the house next door, and they didn't take away the money at all, obviously not for money.

After Su Yu finished speaking, he paused: They also said that if they take it away when they see someone from the main family, we can't afford to provoke it.

Su A-Niang was frightened by these words, she pulled Su Yu and said: Those people are too scary, so what are we waiting for, hurry up, go quietly.

After Su A-Niang finished speaking, she began to pack up her things in a panic, she urged Su Yu while cleaning up: Don't stand stupidly, go and call your eldest sister over, let's clean up together, by the way, and your uncle, it's not safe here, he should go with us.

When Su Yu heard this, he said, "Okay." After saying that, she walked out, and she also meant this in her heart, get out of here as soon as possible.

As soon as Su Yu went out, she bumped into Su Daniu who was about to come in, fortunately she flashed quickly, otherwise, she should have bumped into it.

Su Yu saw Su Daniu and said: Sister, you go over there and put on the chickens and rabbits, let's move now, I'll ask the second uncle, what does he have to bring, anyway, we can't live in this house.

Su Daniu also heard the words of Second Uncle Zhang just now, the reason why she didn't come in with Su A-Niang was because she inquired about specific things over there, and now she knows that it is not safe here, where she is willing to live, no need for Su Yu to say, she will go to pack up her things and leave, she nodded again and again: Okay, I'll go.

When Su Yu went to find Second Uncle Zhang, they were still guarding the door, originally thinking about leaving, but Second Uncle Zhang turned his head and thought, what if those people came again?

As soon as Su Yu came out, he said to Second Uncle Zhang: Uncle, let's move, what do you have to bring?

Second Uncle Zhang exclaimed: Let's go? Where to? Where can we stay?

Su Yu said: My mother bought a house, let's clean things now, it's very clean inside, and then sweep it, you can live in it, it's better than here, uncle, that group of people is really a lot, if you touch it again in the middle of the night, we can't do it!

When Wang Zhu heard this, he stared at Su Yu for a while, and said, "Why did this matter come to your house?" Why are other people's homes so good? Didn't you cause something?

Su Yu frowned and thought about it, then shook his head and said: No, our family has always been fine, but ah, it was to turn out a shop that I got before, and it was the human tooth woman who took the initiative to find the door, if there is anything wrong, it is that the back of the shop is sinking badly, and there is a strange pit inside. There's nothing to hide from that.

Pit?

Su Yu's eyes must be there, could it be that something was really dug up underneath, the door? So need a key?

However, even if that's the case, the key won't be in her hand, the shop was Huang Yapo's sister before, if you want to find it, you should also find Huang Yapo's sister.

Wang Zhuai heard Su Yu's words, but he laughed: It's just a landslide, it's nothing, maybe those people are looking for the wrong person.

Second Uncle Zhang frowned and said: Move, live here well, there are still many months, you can move, I will live here, it will be fine. If it is true that those people are looking for the wrong person, then I will be fine.

Second Uncle Zhang didn't want to move over, it was his sister-in-law's new home, what was he doing when he moved over, anyway, what he wanted was to stay here for a while, wait for him to find a house, and then bring his family over, if he lived in his sister's house, there would definitely be contradictions, far away fragrant, close smelly, he got along well with his sister-in-law's family, it doesn't mean that his daughter-in-law can also get along well, this matter, he understands.

Su Yu was a little anxious: Uncle, this matter is not a joke, in this way, aren't we afraid of being found by those people, you should protect us and go live there with us for a while, what do you think?

When Su Yu said this, Second Uncle Zhang was a little shaken.

Su Yu said again: Uncle, my mother is very timid, and our family doesn't have a man who has anything to do, so you can help us. Su Yu can see that Second Uncle Zhang eats soft and not hard, since this is the case, of course Su Yu has a way to let Second Uncle Zhang move with them.

To be honest, Su Yu had a hunch, she felt that those people would not give up.

Second Uncle Zhang nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, then I'll go over to live with you for a few days, and when you are at ease, I'll move back."

Su Yu laughed at this time: Okay, uncle, you can take those clothes in the cabinet, and I will go and put them up for you. By the way, uncle, you go with us, you always have to go back to the yamen later, and then take Xiaobao and the three of them home later.

Second Uncle Zhang nodded and said, "Okay."

Su Yu looked up at Tiandao: Fortunately, the rain is lighter, and it is just right to move now.

Wang Zhutou said on the side: We are a stealer, just right, we are familiar with each other anyway, so I will help you, let's go, if there is anything you want me to help with, you're welcome, just say it.

Su Yudao: Then you wait for a while, let's see it when we pack it up, but ah, I don't have many things.

After speaking, Su Yu went into the house to pack up the things, they were very fast, and after a while, they packed the things in the house, the quilt, the clothes, and the cage, which contained chickens and rabbits, and they were reluctant to eat them, and they didn't sell them, besides, the chickens began to lay eggs, and it was not cost-effective to sell them, so Su Daniu was baby, and she brought them all.

The cages are all on the frame, ready to be pulled by the little black donkey.

After all the things were packed, the little donkey cart couldn't fit in, so Su A-Niang also asked Su Yu to buy a big oil paper, so that she could wrap all the things and carry them away.

Su Yu thought that there were not many things, but she didn't expect that there were really a lot of things to clean up, and they even brought the things that could be used in the kitchen, if they didn't bring them, they would have to buy them when they went over there, which would cost money.

A small donkey cart, plus several of them are carrying things, and the small courtyard is really about to let them move, Su Aniang said: Let's go. After saying that, she locked the door, this lock is still the original lock, it is not broken, it will be used, a new lock is not cheap, if someone wants to steal something, whatever, there is nothing to steal anyway.

The door was locked, and the Su family left.

Aunt Wang next door heard that there was movement here, and felt strange, she opened the courtyard door and looked, only to see the back of the Su family, far away, not very clear, she stretched out her head to look at the direction of the Su family, and there was no movement for a long time, so she closed the courtyard door again.

She felt strange in her heart, what is wrong with this Su family, there is no stop this day, if it is like this at night, she will not follow, it is good to say during the day, she can rest at night, her family is tired for a day, and she can't be picked up at night, otherwise how can she work during the day.

Although the little girl of the Su family helped her find the silver earrings during the day, ah, this is a matter of principle, and she will not ignore it because of the silver earrings.

Aunt Wang knew that the door of the Su family was locked, and if it was locked, she would definitely go out, and it was not that she would not come back when she went out, so ah, she had to keep an eye on this matter, but she couldn't let the Su family make a noise at night.

She secretly wrote it down.

――

Here it is, this is it. Su A-Niang looked at the new home that was getting closer and closer, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Zhukuai's face was a little stiff, and he glared and said: This, isn't this next to Zhang Zhutou's house?

Su Yu nodded and said, "Yes."

Wang Zhukuai said in a low voice: You are really bold, but ah, our family also lives on this street, and lo and behold, it is the one with a tree at the door.

Su A-Niang was pleasantly surprised: Your family is also here, this is really good!

Wang Zhukuai touched his nose and said: Yes, most of the catchers live here, because it is convenient.

When Second Uncle Zhang heard this, he secretly thought in his heart: If you really move, you have to find it nearby, and you have a good relationship with your neighbors, and it is also a lot more convenient to do errands.

Second Uncle Zhang saw that Su A-Niang was going to open the door, so he took the things over, this time the door was much bigger than the previous one, and it was new, Su A-Niang looked at the big door lock, and her heart was also happy.

After Su A-Niang unlocked the door, she pushed the door open, and came in with something outside the door for a few days, Su Daniu was about to lead the little black donkey inside, Su Yu looked at the small uphill slope, and hurriedly said: Sister, wait for us to move the things in the car and then bring them in, this little black donkey is already tired.

Su Daniu had no choice, so she had to slowly move the things inside into the house, and she said while moving: Alas, when will our donkey grow up, when it grows up, let alone these things, it is not a problem to double it.

Su Yudao: Yes. But what's the use of talking about that now, let's stop talking about it, let's move it quickly.

Because of the help of Second Uncle Zhang and Wang Zhukuai, after a while, all the things outside were moved into the house, and Su Yu also led the little black donkey into the yard, and closed the courtyard door against the door, which was all used to.

Wang Zhuhai looked at the house and said: Your house is quite big, alas, although my house is also big, the orientation is not as good as your side.

Second Uncle Zhang was speechless in his heart, how much silver does this big house cost!

After the things moved into the house, Su Aniang's face showed a smile, and she only heard her say to Wang Zhukuai: Wang Zhukuai, are you still going back to the yamen, if it's okay, just play at my house, I'm going to buy vegetables now, and I'm going to eat at my house when the time comes, you have helped us so much, you can't just leave.

When Wang Zhuhai heard this, he said: We have to go back later, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat this meal.

Su A-Niang hurriedly said: Come over when you finish work, don't worry, I will definitely buy fish and meat, and let you eat happily when the time comes, Wang Catch quickly, we didn't have time to thank you for the previous busy, by the way, you call Xiao Catch quickly, come together, I will do more when the time comes, eat together!

Su Aniang was afraid that Wang Zhuhai would not agree, so she hurriedly said: I'm going to buy vegetables, you can remember to come over for dinner. After she finished speaking, she walked to the door, she walked for a while, and suddenly turned back, only to see her stuffing a handful of things into Su Yu's arms, uh, it was silver and silver tickets, Su A-Niang didn't dare to go out with so much silver, anyway, she felt that since the house was not safe, then put it on her daughter, and if she didn't go out in the house, she would definitely be able to protect it.

Su A-Niang went out with two taels of silver.

Su Yu shouted in the back: Mother, buy more food, buy a dozen bags, and pay the silver when you come back, don't forget.

Su A-Niang turned her head to look at her: Why?

Su Yu said: You just do what I say, and I'll tell you when I come back in the evening.

Although Su A-Niang had doubts in her heart, she nodded, and she went out.

At this time, Second Uncle Zhang also said: We should also go back on an errand, big girl, second girl, you have to take a good look at the house, the door bolt is good, and no one should be put in lightly.

Su Yu nodded to Su Daniu.

Wang Zhukuai also smiled and said: Okay, let's go first.

Su Yu hurriedly said: Brother Wang, remember to bring Brother Xiao over for dinner at night, my mother has gone to buy vegetables, if you don't come, the dish will definitely not be finished, don't remember.

Wang Zhu smiled quickly: Okay, good, I can't forget it. There is fish and meat, Wang Yu wants to drool when he thinks of it, anyway, he has to tell his family that if he doesn't go back to eat at night, he will eat here, and he will have to find a tooth sacrifice.

Second Uncle Zhang and Wang Zhu also left, Su Yu followed behind them, and after they left, they decisively bolted the door, there were three big bolts behind this door, which was much better than the previous door.

Su Daniu muttered: I remember that there is a well behind, I went to fetch water, boiled the water and washed the inside and outside of the house with hot water, and the chicken pen had to be washed. Oh, there's no firewood, how can we make a fire! Su Dayu was anxious.

Su Yu said: Don't worry, didn't you bring some firewood just now, it's enough for us to make a fire, eldest sister, you go and fetch water, when the water comes, I will regenerate the fire.

Good. Su Daniu said and said worriedly: We didn't bring much firewood, we still have to cook at night, this firewood is not enough.

Su Yudao: In this way, when the fire is lit, I will go out to see if there is any firewood sold on the street, and if there is, I will buy a load of firewood.

Su Daniu said: Where is one load enough.

Su Yu said with a smile: What if it's not enough, can those who sell firewood still be able to pick up a few loads? When the time comes, buy a big one.

Su Daniu sighed and said: This can't be helped, on rainy days, there are few people who chop wood, so I can only do this.

When Su Yu heard this, his face sank, if it really rained all the time, the problem of firewood would be even stricter, the mountains were full of wet firewood on rainy days, and it was difficult to burn, and the road was difficult to walk, I don't know if anyone else was willing to sell firewood.

Su Yu frowned, there is no firewood, so I can only buy charcoal at that time, but charcoal is expensive, especially a better charcoal, I heard that the worst charcoal is full of smoke, and it costs a lot of charcoal to boil vegetables and water.

Bamboo charcoal?

Su Yu narrowed her eyes, if the rain didn't stop, not only would their family lack charcoal, but the people in the whole town would probably be short of firewood at that time, and if she sold bamboo charcoal at that time, she would definitely make a lot of money.

However, you have to have bamboo to burn bamboo charcoal, and you have to make a kiln, if it is in Sujia Village, these are easy to do, but now they are in the town, bamboo and kilns are problems.

Su Yu was pondering, over there, Su Da Niu had already brought a bucket of water up, she carried the water to the kitchen, and saw that Su Yu was still stupid, so she went over and patted her heavily: Erniu, don't be stupid, alas, forget it, I'll go and make a fire by myself, you go outside to buy money.

Su Yu was slapped back to her senses by this slap, she heard Su Daniu's words, and she said: That's good.

Su Daniu asked her again: What are you thinking?

Su Yu said: Sister, you see, we are short of firewood, and the town must also be short of firewood, and it will be even more scarce in winter.

When Su Dayu heard this, she laughed: What are you thinking, charcoal is so easy? The silver silk charcoal, I heard that it is expensive, even if it is the worst charcoal, it has to be dozens of copper plates a catty, you think about it, that catty is a little smaller, what can be used, ordinary people would rather use firewood than use that charcoal.

Su Yu frowned and asked: What about winter? There's not enough firewood.

Su Daniu said: I haven't spent the winter in the town, how do I know, we used to spend the time in the village, I remember that before the winter, every family's firewood house was full of firewood, and ah, under the eaves, the yard, is full of firewood, covered with grain grass, anyway, our village people are not short of firewood in winter.

Su Yu heard this, nodded and said: Okay, since that's the case, then let's buy more firewood during this time, as for the matter of the bamboo charcoal, I'll try it, I won't be at ease if I don't try. It's a money-making business, and there's no reason to push it out.

Su Daniu said: It's up to you.

Su Yu was about to leave, but she thought of the silver in her arms, which Su A-Niang held for her, so she took out the silver in her arms, handed it to Su Da Niu and said: Sister, I will take half a penny of silver out, you can hide the rest, don't let anyone steal it, just now A-Niang thought that the silver was stolen by someone, and almost fainted.

Su Daniu looked at the silver and her eyes lit up, she swore and said: Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of it, this silver is my life, and I can't lose my life!

Su Yu laughed: "Eldest sister, you can go to the money."

Su Daniu said proudly: That's.

Su Yu said again: Eldest sister, you are not afraid of being in the house.

Su Daniu held her head high and said: What's so terrible about this, I'm bold, besides, there are people in this neighborhood at home, and this yard is bright, where will you be afraid, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and buy firewood.

Su Yu went out at this time.

Where to buy firewood?

Su Yu habitually walked to West Street, there were many people and shops there, she seemed to have seen someone selling firewood over there in the past, but she didn't know if she could find someone who could sell firewood on this rainy day, and she was worried to death.

Not to mention, Su Yu's luck is really not bad, and she really found two firewood sellers, they are a pair of relatives, uncle and nephew, the uncle's burden is a big burden, 12 Wen, and the nephew's firewood is smaller, 5 Wen.

Su Yu asked them: Can it be delivered home?

The middle-aged uncle hurriedly said: Yes, yes.

The nephew's eyes were full of joy, and he suddenly asked Su Yu again: Then, will you still buy firewood tomorrow?

The middle-aged uncle poked his nephew with his elbow and reminded: This firewood is enough to burn for seven days, and it will definitely not be used tomorrow.

Su Yu shook his head and said: No, I still need firewood, if you have firewood tomorrow, send it directly to my house, and I will collect it.

The nephew jumped up with joy, and he shook his uncle's hand vigorously and said: Uncle, she wants firewood, she wants firewood!

The middle-aged uncle grinned, but he still asked Su Yu uneasily: Little girl, do you really want firewood?

Su Yu nodded heavily: Yes! She thought for a while, and then said, "If you have firewood tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will ask for all of it." She wanted to say seven days, but seven days was too long, and if the firewood behind this uncle and nephew was not good, then she didn't want it either.

Three days!

The middle-aged uncle was overjoyed: Okay, okay, we will definitely send it. Three days, that's thirty-six Wen, that's great! The firewood is all from the mountains, and it doesn't cost money, but it only takes some effort.

The nephew suddenly said: Tomorrow we are going to confirm firewood, I'm afraid we won't be able to deliver it.

The middle-aged uncle said: Then we will cut it at night.

The nephew hurriedly said: Uncle, no, it's very dark at night, what can I do if it rains, what should I do?

When Su Yu heard this, he said: "That's it, this firewood is enough anyway, if you have firewood, just send it to my house, I will receive it within seven days, what do you think."

The middle-aged uncle said gratefully: Okay, good, the little girl is really kind, thank you so much.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Let's go."

After Su Yu finished speaking, he walked home, and the uncle and nephew followed behind Su Yu with firewood.

As soon as he got out of West Street, Su Yu saw Sunan from a distance, it seemed to be Sunan, the back was very similar to him, but the woman next to him didn't seem to be Su's widow, the woman was very slender, with long black hair draped behind her, this is not a woman's dress.

Sunan is helping the girl with her umbrella.

Su Yu wondered, could it be that she was wrong? Is that girl a widow of Sue? However, this doesn't look like it at all.

Faithless?

Su Yu shook her head, it doesn't matter, anyway, if she doesn't do her business, she shouldn't have seen it. After she thought it through, she returned home with the two firewood pickers.

The door was still bolted, and Su Yu patted the door: Sister, open the door, I'm back.

Su Daniu trotted over and opened the door, she opened the door, not only saw Su Yu, but also saw the two Dan firewood outside the door, heh, this firewood is good, Su Daniu looked at Su Yu with a surprised face, she looked at the two people again, and said: Come in, just put the firewood in the firewood room.

Su Daniu took the two people and walked to the firewood room, because the firewood was tied too high, and she almost couldn't get in.

After the middle-aged uncle and the nephew put the firewood away, Su Yu counted seventeen copper plates and gave them to the two of them, and said: If there is firewood in the future, it will be delivered directly to my door.

The middle-aged uncle and the nephew both nodded their heads again and again, and they took the money, thanked them, and left.

Su Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this firewood was settled.
