"Auntie, is there a basin?" Su Rui looked around the courtyard, and there was not even a decent living utensils in the tatters, and she was extremely sympathetic to Aunt Wang in her heart.

Aunt Wang hurriedly went into the kitchen and took out the wooden basin that was quite clean at home, and helped Su Rui shake all the shrimp in the straw basket into it.

Su Rui went to the water tank to scoop water and rinsed the shrimp carefully a few times, "Auntie, let's cook it and eat it directly." ”

Although it is more fragrant and fried with noodles, in rural areas, white noodles and oil are more expensive than shrimp gold.

Aunt Wang went to make a fire to boil water according to her words, in order to save money, she usually only eats one meal a day, but today there is a little guest Su Rui, she went to the bottom of the noodle jar to scoop a spoonful of cornmeal, and mix well with the water.

She can't afford to get it dry, but she can always deal with a wet mouthful.

Soon, the cornmeal porridge and the red and tender shrimp were cooked, and Aunt Wang put half of it into another bowl, "Rui, take this bowl to your aunt." ”

"Auntie, I won't hide it from you, I came to you because I didn't want to bring the shrimp back." Su Rui's attitude was very resolute, and she poured the shrimp back into the bowl again.

She understands that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, but she can't please the people she doesn't like in her heart no matter what.

In the past, even in the face of her unsmiling father, she had never catered to anything, let alone to befriend people like Liu Fengxian.

After a few more words of persuasion, seeing that Su Rui did not let go, Aunt Wang shook her head, it was hard to say anything, but she didn't expect Su Rui, who had always been cowardly and easy to bully in the eyes of outsiders, to be so stubborn.

In this way, Aunt Wang, who had nothing to do, also joined the team of catching shrimp, she had no land to plant, and there was no one at home, and she was not afraid of what others said.

In the morning, Su Rui can have a good rest, and after eating at noon, she will go to the river with Aunt Wang, and the two of them can catch a full pot in three or four hours.

can eat meat so easily, Aunt Wang regrets why she didn't meet Su Rui earlier, so she soaked by the river all day long.

Because it was quite tiring to catch shrimp for a long time, Su Rui made two long baskets with large mesh holes from wheat straw and threw them into the river, spread aquatic plants in them, and tied them with ropes, so that they could float down at night and float overnight, and they would receive a lot of ready-made during the day.

Su Rui has also thought about it in the past few days, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, the river in this area is shallow, and there are not many fish, so the amount of shrimp is very large, they can catch five or six catties a day, and it is still okay to sell them in the county or city.

Su Rui said her thoughts, Aunt Wang naturally has no opinion, she has never been out of the countryside in her life, and she doesn't know how to do business, so the job of selling shrimp fell to Su Rui, she is only responsible for catching shrimp.

Inquired about the bus to the county seat, Su Rui just wanted to go to meet Aunt Wang early this morning, but when she went out, she ran into Sister Song who came to find her.

"Xiaorui, where are you going? I'll be with you. Sister Song wore two braids, wore a washed white old clothes, and had a sweet smile on her face, and she looked clean.

Su Rui smiled politely, and her tone was detached, "I just go around casually, now my family is cutting wheat in the field, and your family is also very busy, so you don't need to accompany me." ”

Even if she doesn't sell shrimp to make money today, Su Rui doesn't want to stay with her.

"It's okay, my parents are reluctant to let me go to the ground." Sister Song didn't hear Su Rui's euphemistic refusal, and still came up, "I heard that you quarreled with your aunt a few days ago?" ”

Su Rui let out an "um".

"I told you a long time ago that this kind of person can't bear her, you see that their family is angry with your mother's money and you are angry, which family in the village doesn't hold grievances for you..."Song Qimei said indignantly, but she didn't see Su Rui echoing, in the past, when they talked bad about Liu Fengxian together, Su Rui would echo a few words of relief, and the two became more and more intimate.

Listening to Song Qimei's babbling, Su Rui felt very bored, no matter how good what others said, life is not their own?

Song Qimei couldn't speak alone, her eyes suddenly turned, and she grabbed Su Rui's arm and asked, "Xiaorui, your clothes and pants are so good-looking, did your mother buy them for you from the city?" ”

"I bought it for the New Year." Su Rui pushed her away without a trace and took a few steps forward.

No matter how stupid Sister Song was, she could see Su Rui's coldness at this time, but for the sake of what she wanted, she thought that it was worth it to suffer more grievances.

"In a few days, my mother will take me to the county town to catch the market, and I have to see a relative, that is, my aunt, you also know that she is very powerful, can you borrow me to wear this dress?" She blinked pleadingly, and said coquettishly, "Xiaorui, you're the best, just borrow me for a day." ”

She knew that Su Rui might not be willing to give her the newly bought clothes, but she really wanted to wear them, it was fake to go to relatives, her aunt told her a partner in the county seat, the young man was a few years older than her, her parents had formal jobs in the county, her family was good, the rural girl married early, and she said that it was the right time to kiss at the age of seventeen.

Besides, when will she not have the final say in borrowing this dress?

Su Rui's expression was faint, and she couldn't tell whether she was willing or not.

She remembered that when Song Yimei came to ask for clothes in the past, it was this rhetoric, saying that her relatives were afraid that people would look down on her, so she came to borrow some clothes, but she wore them for more than ten days as soon as she borrowed them, and she was put on by others for so long, even if she didn't want to wear the best clothes, the original owner simply let her take them.

As a result, in the eyes of others, it seems that Su Rui gave up something she didn't want to Song Mimei, and Song Mimei was pitiful and sympathetic everywhere, and Su Rui was infamous for looking down on people.

There are also people who understand that Song Yumei is cheaply selling well, but no one has come forward to help Su Rui say a word.

"Xiaorui?" Song Qimei's face was a little unhappy, "It's just a piece of clothing, you can just give a word!" ”

Su Rui was unhappy in her heart, but then she thought of a good idea, "Since you like this dress so much, then I'll sell it to you cheaply, I've only been buying it for more than two months, and I've worn it a few times recently, clothes and pants, a total of five yuan." ”

She also inquired recently, in this era, the food and drink are cheap, but the clothes are very expensive, a pound of rice and noodles is less than two cents, coarse grain is only sold for six or seven cents, a pair of shoes costs two or three yuan, good clothes are even more expensive, she thinks that this jeans must not be cheap, if it is not for the current rush to raise money, she does not want to sell it.

Song Qimei was so shocked that she raised her throat, "What did you say!" Then his eyes turned aggrieved, "Xiaorui, if you don't want to borrow it, just say it, why take money to insult people, isn't our sisterhood worth these three dollars?" ”

Su Rui looked her up and down, and said lightly: "Every time you say you want to borrow clothes, you don't send them again after I give them to you." Sister Song wanted to speak, but Su Rui took the lead and said: "I thought that we had known each other for three years, just a few clothes, so I gave them." It's just that my mother's money is not blown by the wind, and it is still a new dress purchased during the New Year, this pants are sold for at least five or six yuan in the mall, and only five yuan will be given to you with clothes. ”

A few words made Song Yumei's face red, and the little calculation in her heart seemed to be seen clearly by Su Rui.

Su Rui sneered: "If money can insult people, I really hope you can insult me." ”
