Chapter 36: Mother and Daughter

About Su Xian, the number of times she doesn't return home at night has gradually decreased, but as usual, she gets drunk every time she comes back, once or twice can be regarded as an occasional excuse to drink to kill her sorrows, it's always abnormal, every time a woman drinks in major restaurants, every time she is wearing heavy makeup, and every time she returns drunk, she can always squander it for a while from the next day, Su Miao can't help but guess whether she should be doing the business of accompanying wine, if she goes further, Su Xian's heart should not do it, But it is possible to degenerate into the former, about this point Su Miao wanted to ask several times, but it was difficult to speak because of the relationship between the elders and the young and Su Xian's hostility towards her.

"Second sister, go back to the house and rest, I've almost done it, it's all according to your usual practice, no problem!" Su Yan patted his chest and assured Su Miao, who had difficulty breathing because of nasal congestion.

Su Miao took a cursory look in the kitchen, and still frowned uncomfortably:

"Just the two of you, why don't you just take a day off?"

"How much money do you have to make less to take a day off, and it's cold today, Big Brother They definitely want to drink a bowl of hot fish soup, it's no problem with me, the third sister and Defu!"

Defu is a relative introduced by Brother Qian to help, the same age as Su Yan, born short but with a clever mouth, he is very good at greeting guests. Defu's father died early and his mother took him to remarry, although the family did not dislike him, but with the increase of younger siblings, the stepfather's family also had children before, and Defu, who couldn't get over it, thought that he had become a burden, and always wanted to come out of the family to find another way to make a living, Su Miao felt that he was very suitable to be a buddy and left him behind.

"I'm sick and I'm still worried, you go back to the house and lie down, it's not that we can't live without you!" Su Chan said impatiently with her hands on her chest.

Su Miao was stunned, and then laughed lonely: "Chan'er, the second sister was very fragile when she was sick, and it was really a big blow to hear you say this." ”

Su Chan was slightly stunned, then her face turned red, her eyes flickered, she turned her head in annoyance, and said heavily from between her teeth:

"I didn't mean that, I'm annoyed, it's just that I can do it myself in one day, instead of worrying about you, it's better to recuperate!"

"Third sister, and me!" Su Yan saw that he was directly ignored, and emphasized dissatisfiedly.

Su Chan ignored him, regretting her gaffe and blaming Su Miao for making a fuss, and she was annoyed.

Su Miao looked at the two of them, bent her eyebrows, and smiled:

"Then please ask Chan'er and Yan'er today, Chan'er takes good care of her brother, even if she closes the stall early, it doesn't matter, you must pay attention to safety."

"Wrap it up on me!" Su Yan patted his chest confidently.

"Long-winded!" Su Chan said angrily, picked up the cauldron of stewed meat and turned around to go out to load the car, Su Yan also came to help, picked up the washed vegetables and followed out.

Because the two of them didn't let Su Miao help, Su Miao had to stand aside and watch them carry all their things onto the cart, and watched them go out of the house to Changle Street, and said in a loud voice:

"You two have to be careful of the bad guys, Yan'er don't talk to strangers, Chan'er doesn't fight!"

"Got it!" Su Yan obediently responded.

"Go in and lie down!" Su Chan didn't answer, said angrily, and left without looking back.

Su Miao smiled, looking at the figure of the sister and brother disappeared at the entrance of the alley, at this time the sky was already bright, all the families were working, going to school, the women carried buckets to the well in groups to fetch water, and saw Su Miao don't turn their heads and ignore it, this is mostly because the neighbors think that Su Xian is doing something improper, the Su family is not a good family or something, Su Miao doesn't care, touches the head that is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, goes back to the house and drinks a big bowl of ginger water, and curls up into the quilt.

Because the body temperature rose again, Su Miao, who was asleep, didn't know that Lang Zhong came to check the pulse and prescribed medicine, until the heat dropped in the afternoon, and he only felt slightly cool in the haze, put a moist cloth towel on his forehead, opened his eyes, and entered a face full of freckles.

When Hu Shi saw her wake up, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, although he still had a face covered with fine lines, he touched Su Miao's neck socket with his rough big hand, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a rough voice:

"Hungry? There is fish noodle soup simmering on the stove, and if you have a food sickness in your stomach, you will get better quickly! ”

Su Miao actually has no appetite, but because she rarely got sick in her previous life, even if she was sick, because her parents died unexpectedly when she was a baby, her grandfather died of illness when she was ten years old, although the grandfather who was her grandfather's friend was very good to her, she never dared to trouble people too much, and it was the first time that she was cared for like this when she was sick, and she couldn't help but get nervous, and was stared at by Hu Shi and nodded subconsciously.

Hu Shi moved the kang table and put it on the bed, Su Miao sat up wrapped in a cotton jacket, Hu Shi took out the soup woman from the quilt and changed the hot water and stuffed it into her arms, then went to the kitchen to serve a bowl of steaming fish noodle soup, came back and put it on the kang table, sat on the edge of the bed, and said:

"I even ate soup and noodles, eat it in a big gulp, and sweat a lot to get better quickly!"

Su Miao nodded, picked up the chopsticks and ate them while they were hot. The noodles cooked by the Hu family are not delicious, although her mother and husband's family both run restaurants, she herself is not good at cooking, just like the kind of / so-so housewife, who can cook but is not skilled, not to mention that in the past, the Su family's three meals a day were usually taken care of by Su Dong. However, despite this, despite the uncomfortable fishy smell in this bowl of noodle soup, despite the uneven thickness of the noodles, and despite the uncut ginger slices that were not cut together, Hu Shi cooked them with care, and she was able to eat them for some reason.

"Doesn't it taste good?" Hu Shi asked suddenly.

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, raised her head to meet her eyes, paused, shook her head and smiled: "It's delicious." ”

Hu Shi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, although she didn't want Su Miao to see that she was actually relieved. probably thinks that her daughter's cooking skills are better than herself, and although she wants to pretend that she doesn't care, she is still concerned about her daughter's reaction to her craftsmanship after eating.

Su Miao lowered her eyes, the corners of her lips hooked, and she smiled.

Hu has not been alone with her daughter for a long time, and the focus of her life over the years has been completely on her son, and she feels unfamiliar, restrained, and uncomfortable when she is suddenly close to her daughter, but she still tries to restrain this discomfort. After a bowl of noodles bottomed out, Hu Shi's heart was a little calm, he removed the kang table and told Su Miao to lie down, sat on the edge of the bed and rewrung a wet cloth towel on Su Miao's forehead, pulled out Su Miao's arm and pushed it along her wrist to her elbow on the inside of her little forearm.

"Mother, why are you pinching me?" Su Miao opened her eyes and asked confusedly.

"This method reduces fever, your grandmother taught me, I gave you this when you had a fever when you were a child."

"Really?"

"What a memory at a young age!" Hu Shi said unhappily, paused, but half-hung his head and smiled lightly, and whispered very softly, "It's good to push, you sleep, my mother will push you!" ”

In his memory, Hu hadn't laughed in years.
