Chapter 22: Regaining Family

After just a few days, Yu Qiusu's health has been very good. Early that morning, she took the family's clothes to wash, and Liu Yinglan, who was feeding the chickens in the chicken coop, saw it and said, "Your body has only been good for a long time, I'll wash it later." ”

Yu Qiusu ignored it, found a basin and came out, and began to wash the pulp. She hadn't washed her clothes, and she didn't know where to start, even the kneading technique was raw, Liu Yinglan smiled: "I haven't washed my clothes, right?" ”

Yu Qiusu said: "Look at people washing." ”

Liu Yinglan smiled bitterly: "It seems that it is difficult to expect you to wash it clean." ”

After washing and wringing out, Yu Qiusu hung the clothes on the bamboo pole, and accidentally took off the clothes, fell off the bamboo pole, and had to be cleaned again.

"Hey......" Liu Yinglan looked at it on the side, shook her head like an adult and said, "Miss, I said that I came to wash." ”

"You have to learn. There is no first time, talk about what to learn. Yu Qiusu said seriously, picked up his clothes and washed them again.

After lunch, Yu Qiusu had to help wash the dishes again, Liu Yinglan said: "You will embroider later, don't get your hands dirty, leave me to brush." ”

Yu Qiusu refused to let go: "Don't worry, I won't delay the embroidery." You'd better let me do some work. You've saved me and taken care of me, and if I don't help me a little more, I'm really sorry. Besides, I have to learn more housework, but I can't be like at home, where clothes come to the door and food is opened, and it is useless outside. ”

Liu Yinglan saw that she insisted, so she stopped blocking it, and when she finished brushing the bowl, she rushed to wipe the stove again, and said with a smile: "If you want to help like this, I will really become an idler." ”

Speaking of leisure, every time Yu Qiusu walked outside the house with his feet and was idle, he would be in a daze at the sky for a while, when he was at home before, he didn't feel anything, but now he knows how happy he was at that time. has the care of my father and mother, and the love of my two brothers, but in an instant, everything is gone, is God joking with people? And every time it gets dark, lying on the bed, when a heart is idle, it is endless thoughts, and the nostalgia for relatives seems to never reach the end. Now that she can keep herself busy, then she won't be so sad and depressed.

Since then, Yinglan's mother still often picks vegetables to sell at the market, and Yu Qiusu and Liu Yinglan finished housework and embroidered at home. And Yinglan's father went home twice in three days to get drunk, or take away the only money left in the family.

Early this morning, Yu Qiusu saw Yinglan's mother go in to cook porridge, and she also followed: "Auntie, I'll help you cook." ”

"Oh?" Yinglan's mother had heard her daughter mention that Qiu Su was too clumsy to work, and when she heard it, she smiled and said, "Su Su can cook?" ”

Yu Qiusu also smiled: "Auntie, don't make fun of me, I'm here to apprentice." She sat down at the stove and said, "Auntie, I'll add firewood, by the way, where is the fire fold?" ”

"At the foot of the stool." Yinglan's mother washed the rice and poured it into the pot.

Yu Qiusu found a bamboo tube at the foot of the stool, lifted the lid, and pulled out the fire fold, but he couldn't blow it. Finally blowing, ignited the firewood, put it into the stove, and before I had time to put the second handful, the fire in the stove had already been extinguished. In a hurry, Yu Qiusu was sweating.

"You look at me." Yinglan's voice rang out. She saw that Yu Qiusu couldn't light firewood, so she couldn't help but smile and came to help. She sat down and began to light the fire, and in a moment the stove was filled with a raging flame.

Yu Qiusu blushed and stood up: "I'm really useless, I can't even light a fire." ”

Yinglan's mother smiled and comforted: "How can anyone be born with it, and they will learn it slowly." ”

"Lan'er, Susu, it's time to eat." In the voice of kindness, the meal was served.

At the dinner table, Liu Yinglan put a chopstick dish into Yu Qiusu's bowl, looked at her with a smile and said, "Eat more, vegetarian." ”

Yinglan's mother also grabbed a pair of chopsticks and said, "Yes, girl, your body is just right, eat more food." ”

Yu Qiusu's heart warmed and said, "Thank you, auntie." Although there is only a plate of green vegetables, this feeling of home has made Qiu Su very satisfying.

"Since your family has passed away, you can treat our family as your own in the future." Yinglan's mother said, "By the way, Susu, my aunt has a mention, I don't know if you are willing to listen to it?" ”

Yu Qiusu saw that Yinglan's mother said solemnly, and asked: "Auntie, it doesn't hurt to say it, you are Su Su's benefactor, how can Su Su not obey?" ”

Yinglan's mother coughed a few times, pulled Qiu Su's hand and said, "Su Su, do you think this is good?" You have no relatives and no reason, why don't I recognize you as my goddaughter, you and Lan'er will become real sisters, and you can always take care of each other in the future, and your aunt will be much more at ease. What do you think? ”

Yu Qiusu didn't expect to be able to recognize her godmother, glanced at Yinglan's mother gratefully, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Daughter Susu has seen her godmother." ”

Yinglan's mother helped her up and said, "Good, we will be a family from now on." You're as old as Lan'er, so it doesn't hurt to be called by your name in the future. ”

Seeing that Yu Qiusu had become her own family in such a moment, Liu Yinglan looked at her with a smile and said, "That's the best, we don't have to be separated in the future." ”

After that, Yu Qiusu officially lived in Liu's house, in addition to concentrating on embroidery, she also had to teach Liu Yinglan. Fortunately, she has been trained by her first-class embroiderer since she was a child, coupled with her intelligence and dexterity, today's embroidery is no longer comparable to ordinary embroiderers, and Su embroidery, which is the icing on the cake, teaching apprentices, but also handy. This embroidery requires a lot of patience and perseverance, although many embroiderers and girls from small families also do, but to embroider well, but it is not so easy.

Yu Qiusu first asked Liu Yinglan to try her hands on old clothes, to see that her comprehension and dexterity of her hands were not bad, and soon after, she would be able to embroider a simple embroidery, and she was allowed to try needles on the fabric of the embroidery village. Under Yu Qiusu's teaching, Liu Yinglan was slowly able to get started, but it was not an overnight effort to embroider well.

In the evening, Yu Qiusu and Liu Yinglan lay on the bed and chatted aimlessly: "Yinglan, I don't think my godmother's body is very good, and she often coughs, should we ask Lang Zhong to show her?" ”

Liu Yinglan said helplessly: "I want to too, but the family really doesn't have money for treatment, so I can only stay next to each other." How can a poor family like us afford to be sick? ”

Yu Qiusu thought that her godmother would continue to be plagued by stubborn diseases because she had no money for treatment, and she felt uncomfortable.

Since then, Yu Qiusu has been sitting all day long, in order to quickly earn money for Yinglan's mother to see a doctor, she has devoted herself to embroidery.

Liu Yinglan was afraid that she would be tired, so she pulled her up and said, "You have such an embroidery method, what if you are tired of your body?" Let's go, let's go out for a walk. I couldn't help but let Qiu Su not agree, so I pulled her and left.
