Chapter 2 Rhododendron Leaves
Xiao Cui was stimulated by her smiling face, Miss was so wrong, she could still laugh when she saw their only remaining rations, shouldn't her normal reaction be like this?
Xiao Cui re-boiled hot water for Su Nian, here to boil water needs firewood, their firewood is only so pitiful every month, if it is not enough, Xiao Cui has to go around to pick up some, Su Nian didn't care about these at all, as long as the kettle on the table is cold, he loses his temper, Xiao Cui has to try to keep hot water all the time.
But in the past few days, because Miss is sick and needs to be taken care of, Xiaocui has no extra time to collect firewood, so Su Nian will inevitably drink cold water, but Miss didn't say a word, Xiaocui's heart was half strange, and the other was grateful.
When Xiao Cui was about to go out to do something, Su Nian pulled her back: "Xiao Cui, you can talk to me, I have been sick for a while, and there seems to be nothing in my head." β
Xiao Cui was taken aback, has Miss talked to her before? Like, no, right......
Su Nian insisted on pulling her to her side and sitting down, Xiaocui was so frightened that she only dared to build a small half of the stool, Miss really had something wrong!
Su Nian's clichΓ© skills are still good, especially when talking to an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, it took almost no effort to know his current situation, and it was really ...... The future is worrying.
This is the Li Dynasty, Su Nian does not have the impression of this dynasty, they are now in a small town belonging to Youzhou, saying that it is a town, but in fact it is just a small village.
Su Nian knows what he can call himself a young lady, but he lives such a poor life, it is because he is weak under the fence......
Su Nian's father and the current state pastor of Youzhou are the same family, and the relationship between the two is very close, but unfortunately, my father offended the prison history at that time and was framed, and he was imprisoned.
Thanks to Lord Tong's concern for the same family, Su Nian was saved, and he finally retained a trace of blood for their Sheng family.
Su Nian propped his chin on the table, so to speak, this Lord Tong should be a bodhisattva of great compassion? Although Xiaocui said it unsatisfactorily, she probably understood the meaning, but the question is, why didn't she be treated like this?
The Tong family placed Su Nian in the small courtyard of this Niushan Village, and then almost ignored it, but would send someone to deliver some necessities every month, which was still tightly lacking, but at least they could keep their two and a half years old child alive.
Is this an attitude towards the orphans of colleagues? Su Nian doesn't know the way, maybe this is the custom of this Li Dynasty.
"So, we're almost abandoned, right?" Su Nian looked at Xiao Cui lightly.
"Miss, Miss!" Xiaocui immediately became anxious, could it be that Miss Fei wanted to make trouble again? The last time the Tong family came here to send them something, Miss asked Chen's mother and the second wife to ask her to go back to Tong's house, but Chen's mother never showed up again, and the treatment of the two of them was even more difficult.
Su Nian was startled by Xiao Cui's voice, she glanced at Xiao Cui strangely, why was this girl so surprised?
"Miss, the Tong family said that they have done their duty to you, if you make trouble again, if you make trouble again...... They just kicked you out of the door, and you just listened to me once, and we lived in peace, right? Xiaocui seemed to be afraid of Su Nian, and persuaded with kind words.
Su Nian smiled slightly, she really wanted to make a fuss when she heard this, but she had to slow down, she was also a little girl at this time, if she was out of the care of the Tong family, it was a question of whether she could survive or not, just wait.
Su Nian's mood was very stable, and she promised Xiaocui that she would not do anything, but the little girl reluctantly believed it after observing it again and again, and then hurriedly went out to cook.
When I think of that kind of "rice" that cuts my throat, Su Nian has no energy, and there is no way to eat anything else? It may be that he was too hungry, and he seemed to be hallucinating from hunger, Su Nian suddenly felt that he smelled something, a faint fragrance.
She swirled around the room, hooking her nose and sniffing a few times, as if this was the smell of acacia flowers.
That's right, the current temperature should be what it looks like in April and May, it is the season when acacia flowers are in full bloom, Su Nian hurriedly called Xiao Cui into the room: "Xiao Cui, are there locust flowers near here?" β
Xiao Cui nodded, "Yes, there is one outside our yard, it can grow tall, and there are many locust tweeds in Niujia Village." β
Su Nian asked again: "Then, is there anyone taking care of these acacia flowers?" β
Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Su Nian meant.
"That is, if we go to pick it, will anyone stop it?" Su Nian focused on wanting to know this.
Xiaocui shook her head: "Pick it casually, but Miss, why are we going to pick locust flowers?" β
This time it was Su Nian's turn to be surprised, because the acacia flowers can be eaten...... why don't people here eat acacia flowers? When I was a child, I was at my grandmother's house, whenever the acacia flowers were in full bloom, they began to jump up the trees, and my grandmother took a bamboo pole below to let them be careful, and it was good to use the bamboo pole enough, but no one listened, and one climbed faster than the other.
At that time, Su Nian could only sit on the chair under the tree, looking up enviously to watch his friends scatter joy on the tree, watching the sun spill down from the cracks in the leaves, with the fragrance of locust flowers.
Since no one stopped it, then Su Nian is welcome, although they have poor facilities here and incomplete seasonings, there is no way, it is better than eating brown rice paste.
The little girl cried with a sad face, saying that her dinner was not ready, Su Nian waved her hand, "It's okay, you go to pick, and there will be dinner naturally." β
It's good to say that Xiaocui went out to pick locust flowers, and told her that if she can't climb trees, she will ask others for help.
She went to the small kitchen by herself and found some basic seasonings such as garlic, green onions, ginger, salt, etc., and the situation was not bad, these were still there.
Su Nian mashed the seasoning, added autumn oil and stirred well, and then waited for Xiaocui to come back.
Wait, wait, Su Nian thinks, this acacia flower will not be picked by himself, how can it take so long? She was about to go out and look for it, when she saw the door of the small courtyard being pushed open, and Xiao Cui was holding a bamboo basket, which was snow-white and fragrant acacia flowers.
"What's going on?" Su Nian took the acacia flower and pulled Xiao Cui aside, Xiao Cui's left cheek was broken a little, there was already some bleeding, and there was still a little dirt on it, which was extremely embarrassing.
Xiao Cui was already frightened, and when she saw Su Nian frowning, she subconsciously wanted to kneel down and admit her mistake, but Su Nian directly pressed her to the stone bench next to her and sat down, went to the room and took out a clean soft cloth, wet the water to clean the wound.
There are a few plants planted in their small yard, although they are not deliberately carefully cooked, they are also blooming at the moment, this young acquaintance, azaleas, can be used at this time, she walked over and picked azalea leaves, mashed them and applied them to Xiaocui's face, which has the effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain.
Xiaocui was reluctant at first, but because of the identity of the young lady, she forced herself not to wipe off the rotten leaves on her face, but after a while, she felt that the tingling sensation on her cheeks eased a lot, and then looked at Su Nian's eyes, it had already turned into worship, Miss is really powerful, if she can keep this temper, it will be even more powerful.
"Okay, now what's going on?" Su Nian washed his hands and sat opposite Xiao Cui and looked at her.
Xiaocui subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Su Nian didn't pull it, so he simply ignored her.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I accidentally broke my face when I picked locust flowers, so I came back late, you must be hungry, I'm going to make dinner." After speaking, Xiaocui wanted to go in the direction of the kitchen.
"You wait a minute." Su Nian couldn't believe it, did she seem to be such a deceitful person? Can you delay so long if you break your face? What was she looking for, and, from the very beginning, she felt that someone was wandering at the gate of the yard where they hadn't closed it, "Who is it?!" β
Xiao Cui's face changed when she heard Su Nian's shout, and she looked at the door with a white face, and after a while, a young man in coarse cloth clothes appeared in their sight.
"You! What are you doing with me! Xiao Cui became emotional when she saw people, and she began to scan around the courtyard, as if looking for some tools to take advantage of.
Su Nian stopped Xiao Cui, "Who are you?" Did you hurt my little cui's face? β
The young man's face was dark, and he couldn't see what his expression was, but he nodded silently, and then pointed to the basket of locust flowers on the stone table, "I gave her this to make amends." β
The young man's figure was hoarse, obviously going through a period of voice change, and he probably knew that his voice was not good, so he refused to say a word more.
Su Nian turned his head to look at Xiao Cui, so this acacia flower was picked by this young man? Xiao Cui's face was flushed, Su Nian couldn't bear it, so she asked her to wash the acacia flowers, speaking of which she was also hungry, a basket of fresh acacia flowers in front of her, how could there be no reason not to eat them.
Xiao Cui went to the back of the yard to clean the acacia flowers, Su Nian sat there staring at the young man, until he moved his steps uncomfortably, and then asked lightly: "Did Xiao Cui do something?" You're going to hurt her face, do you know how important face is to a girl? β
The young man was really quite uneasy, his dark face was even darker, he really didn't mean it, who knew that the temper of this little girl was so stubborn, he thought that a maid like this should be a good bully, and she would cry and run back if she was scared, but her face was broken, and she had to endure picking locust flowers.
The young man's words made Su Nian probably clear about the ins and outs, this child's character is not bad, at least don't blame others for it, the locust tree selected by Xiaocui is the largest one in Niujia Village, this happens to grow at the door of this young man called Niu Dan, so he was very angry at Xiaocui's action of hitting the locust flower with a bamboo pole, so he wanted to tease her.
Niu Dan thought that the young lady of this kind of big family must have nothing to do, what is the strange problem, but he knew that Xiao Cui's face was smashed by him with a small stone, she still held back her tears and continued to knock with a bamboo pole, and her tearful appearance made Niu Dan feel that she was a bully, no, she took the initiative to pick a basket of locust flowers and sent it to her.
