"Brother Ning?" Bang bang, Su Liu patted Ning Guang's door, his eyebrows frowning: "Where did this person go?" ”

Putting the basket down, Su Liu glanced at the buns in the basket, and sat down with his cheeks up, did he go hunting so early?

Waited and waited, tidied up the yard of Ningguang, and went to see the small vegetable field again, the two peppers grew very well, the rapeseed sown had sprouted, and the sharp ones emerged from the soil, I believe that there will be vegetables to eat in another ten days.

It was almost noon, but Ning Guang still didn't come back, so she had to put down the basket and go home.

It was the busy season of farming, and the villagers were busy in the fields, harvesting, threshing, and some children were shirtless and carrying baskets to pick up ears of grain, laughing and chasing in the fields.

Someone saw Su Liu passing by, pointing, and a few words drifted in the wind, and people still talked about their mother and daughter living in a haunted house.

"Sister Liu'er." Someone ran over, Su Liu looked at it, but it was Su Xizi who ran over in a white coat, the pants on his legs rolled up to his knees, and he was sweating profusely.

"Brother Kiko." Su Liu greeted with a smile and said, "Where are you harvesting rice?" Can you come here? ”

"Hmm." Su Xizi scratched his head with a smile and said, "We don't have much land, just three or so acres, it's okay." ”

"That's enough to choke, Brother Xizi still quickly begs for a daughter-in-law, and there are many people to help."

Su Xizi's face turned red, and she changed the topic and asked, "What are you doing here?" I heard that how many of you have moved to that haunted house? ”

Seeing that he was worried, Su Liu's heart warmed slightly, and he nodded and said, "It's been a few days since I moved in." ”

"How can you live in that place? I went to the county to work these days, and when I came back, I heard about it, and I thought I'd go to you when I finished work today. Sister Liu'er, that place ......" Su Xizi frowned, she felt inappropriate when she bumped into Su Liu in front of the haunted house that day, she didn't expect her to pay this attention, and she was too bold.

"Brother Xizi, it's good there, it's just a little more off, it's quieter, and there's nothing wrong with it." Su Liu interrupted him and said, "Our mother and daughter have a place to stay, it's already good, how can you ask for so much?" Where can you live if you don't live there? ”

Su Xizi was silent, no one in the village knew what happened to their mother and daughter, and they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when they said it.

"So, did you have, um, bump into that thing?"

"Nope. It's a good place to stay. Su Liu shook his head with a smile and said, "We still have land, and now we are pleading to remove the grass and prepare to plant some vegetables." ”

Su Liu didn't lie, except for being a little scared the first day, now they all feel very good, and I believe they will get used to it soon.

Su Xizi hurriedly said: "You are all women, and it is not easy to get the ground, when I am free here, I will go and plead for you." ”

"Xie Lu, Brother Xizi, we can still be busy. It's a little bit out of the way in our house, and it would be nice if Brother Xizi could bring a puppy cub. ”

Su Xizi was busy responding, and the two talked for a while, and Su Liu said goodbye and left.

Su Xizi looked at her back for a while, pursed her lips, she had to finish the harvest quickly, and then go to help their mother and daughter.

When they got home, the Chen family had already returned, and they were busy cooking, so Su Liu thought about going to the school in the morning, and had to find an excuse to learn the characters.

Chen didn't object when she heard it, although a woman's lack of talent is virtue, but she didn't object to her daughter's ability to read and write, and people could read and write, and they would never suffer.

The next morning, Su Liu went to Widow Ping to buy more than a dozen eggs, packed a small half basket, and went to Sun Xiucai's house.

The school is a school run by the village, in addition to the children of Daao Village, there are also people from the next village who send their children to study, although it is good to go to the town to learn, but the shackles of Mr. are not low, for people with average family backgrounds, they can only choose to send them to the village school.

Sun Xiucai's family lives on the edge of the school, with only a family of four, an old mother, a child and Sun Xiucai, and lives in the courtyard of three halls

Seeing Su Liu coming, Sun Xiucai was really surprised.

"Sir's help to our mother and daughter, Su Liu can't repay it, I want to kowtow to Mr. this time." Su Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed as he spoke, "Mr. Xie has pity on us." ”

"Hurry up, get up." Sun Xiucai hurriedly raised his hand, and Sun Lin, the mother of Xiucai, came to help him again, and said angrily: "This child, it is very polite." ”

Su Liu stood up, took the basket on the side and said, "Now that our mother and daughter are separate, there is nothing to give to Mr. These eggs will add a little talk to the little boy, and please don't dislike Mr. and Xiucai Niang. ”

"I can't do it." Sun Xiuci hurriedly said: "You guys are not having a good time, take it back quickly." ”

"Sir, take it, Su Liu still has something to ask sir." Su Liu said with a smile: "If Mr. doesn't even accept this, Su Liu won't dare to come to the door again in the future." ”

Sun Xiucai and Sun Lin glanced at each other, the former nodded, Sun Lin took the basket of eggs, and said with a smile: "In this case, I will take it, Miss Su will have a light meal here tonight, and I will cook two more dishes." So saying, he walked out of the house.

Su Liu and Sun Xiucai were left in the main hall, she stood up, made a big salute to Sun Xiucai, and said, "Sir, in fact, I don't ask for anything else, I just want to recognize two words from Mr." ”

Su Liu did not stay at Sun Xiucai's house for long, refused Sun Lin's stay, and left quickly, bringing a notebook with him before leaving.

"What? Is there anything wrong? Sun Lin couldn't help but ask when he saw Sun Xiucai caressing his beard thoughtfully.

"Su Liu, this child, used to see her as a miserable person, and it was a pity for God to grow up, but now that she looks at it, she has a great creation." Sun Xiucai said something for a long time.

Sun Lin was stunned, and before he could speak, Sun Xiucai said again: "In the future, she will come once a day, and you don't have to entertain her, just say to the outside world that she will help you do some chores to repay me for helping her." ”

When Su Liu said that he wanted to read and write, Sun Xiucai had a little more opinion on this ill-fated girl, looking at her words and deeds, she was really much stronger than her previous humble and gloomy temperament, no, if it was still Su Liu's appearance, he really thought that he had changed into another person.

And when she talked to her about instigating Chen's reconciliation, what did she say?

"If the parents are unkind, if they follow it and let it go further and further, it is connivance, foolishness, not real filial piety, but silent strangulation."

Sun Xiucai listened to the silence for a long time, and then asked her why she wanted to read and write, and she said something that shocked her: "But seek literacy and reason, knowledge changes fate, and knowledge is strength." ”

These words deeply shook him, and he also made him promise to take half an hour every day to teach her to read, and he believed that this girl would change her fate.
