Unexpectedly, she hunched her waist, gritted her teeth, like a toddler, staggering, although it was difficult, she didn't stop at all, let alone beg him.

For a while, Xue Chen was very annoyed, if he wasn't important to Su Qiange, then she could drive him away at will?! What a vicious idea.

And Su Qiange struggled to carry the basket on her back, and she doubted her life.

She really wanted to pick a son to let Xue Chen come, but when she thought of Xue Chen's uncle's temperament, she might not only be rejected by him, but also humiliated.

So after thinking about it, I finally decided to come by myself, and I was tired.

The more Xue Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, he took a step with his long legs, and surpassed Su Qiange in a few steps, as if he was competing, he was just three steps ahead of her impartially, she was fast and he was fast, she was slow and he was slow, even if he didn't help her or wait for her, he kept three steps away.

If you don't help, forget it, it's still dangling in front of your eyes, Rao is Su Qiange has a good temper, and he can't help but want to kick him.

"Adou, are you itching?"

Xue Chen turned around and showed a mouthful of white teeth at her, "Even if you say so, I won't help you." ”

Obviously, his face is full of 'please me to help you, you ask me, I will help'.

Su Qiange felt that the green tendons on his forehead were jumping, and looked at him with concerned eyes, what are you smoking? Would love to get around it like this. But the straw rope on the shoulder basket has been embedded in the flesh, and it really hurts.

After thinking about it for a while, she made a bitter face and softened her attitude a little, "Adou, help me carry it, I'm so tired." ”

Softly tugged at his sleeve, and the soft voice captured Xue Chen at once.

But there was still a reluctant look on his face, "You girls, you can find a coolie if you are coquettish." ”

“？” Big brother, are you fine?

Su Qiange was full of question marks, isn't it your face full of eagerness to help? I didn't charge a performance fee for acting with you, okay, why are you still beating up?

But in the end, he still didn't say anything, but he was safe all the way, but occasionally Xue Chen would complain like his uncle.

When she got home, Su's mother was sitting in the courtyard weaving, Su's father bent over and swept the floor, fiddling with the flowers and plants that had just grown from time to time, and occasionally looked at the door to see if the children had returned.

looked like the years were quiet, so Su Qiange hooked her lips, "Dad, mother, I'm back." ”

"Ge'er is back, are you tired? Your mother cooked soup at home and just came back to eat," Father Su put down the broom and hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw Xue Chen behind, he hurriedly called, "Mother, Ge'er and Adou are back, pour tea quickly." ”

It is rare to be so close to Father Su, Su Qiange nodded a little uncomfortably, "Got it, Dad." ”

The rice was cooked by Su's mother, because the children had gone to the river, and Su's father's legs couldn't stand, so she cooked the rice at home in advance, thinking that the children could just eat it when they got home.

In order to finish eating early, start the afternoon work early, and earn ten taels of silver as soon as possible, which is the right way.

After eating, it was officially busy.

Go out into the courtyard, set up the fire, and skewer the almost salted fish on the fire.

"Adou, you come to turn the fish, I'll go first, and the meals ordered by the villagers last night will be delivered one by one."

Looking at the busy Su Qiange, Xue Chen nodded.

Su Qiange turned around and went into the kitchen, mashed the coriander, ten coriander, garlic cloves, etc. in his hand and put them in a bowl after adding water, and put all the shrimp into the pot to cook.

After it was done, he weighed them one by one and was ready to go out to deliver food, but he was stopped by Su's father.

"Ge'er, just let me go," Father Su looked at her crampedly, "You've been busy for a day, you let me move and contribute." ”

Su Qiange looked at him hesitantly, and weighed the weight of the thing, it was not heavy, but Su's father's legs were swollen so badly that it was really not suitable to move around.

"Dad, you can rest at home, I'll go back when I go."

couldn't help but say, Su Qiange went out with his things. Father Su was in a hurry and couldn't help, so he could only run to Xue Chen's side and help turn the fish.

Xue Chen knew that he was uncomfortable, but the relationship was not achieved overnight, Su Qiange was already twelve years old, and you didn't have a father-daughter friendship in the previous twelve years, and now you can't say that there is, that's too reluctant.

"Uncle, you don't need to be sad, in fact, Qiange has always remembered you in her heart," after organizing the wording for a long time, he held back a sentence that he didn't even believe.

Father Su just smiled innocently, "I know, she is good anywhere, I know everything." ”

He repeated it a few more times, and then silently added firewood.

Su Qiange ran three or four times and was sweating profusely before he finished delivering everything, and after coming back and preparing everything, he looked at the empty door and couldn't help but suspect that the business that was so hot yesterday was fake.

"Adou, you go outside to pull guests, otherwise who will know that there is food here?"

"But the fish is not very cooked yet," Xue Chen turned the fish over, and burned the fire to roast the fish on dog days, which really heated him to death.

Seeing this, Father Su hurriedly got up, "I'll come, I'll come, I can finally let me move." ”

Saying that, he walked outside with a smile and trembling, these days, Su Qiange basically doesn't let him do anything, he is always afraid that he will be tired and injured, but the more idle he is, the more guilty he feels.

"Ge'er, come here."

As soon as Su Qiange wanted to stop, she was called by Su's mother, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

"Just let your father go, you rest, when it comes to dinner in the evening, you may be busy," Su's mother looked at her lovingly, "Your father can't speak, but his heart is full of us and my mother." ”

Father Su went out of the courtyard gate, stood at the door, and cleared his throat.

"Sell octopus, grilled fish, fresh aquatic products, open."

When he was older, he couldn't raise his voice, so Su's father tensed his body like an upside-down bow to raise his voice.

Su Qiange's eyes were half lowered, she didn't know that Father Su was trying to change herself, she could accept this matter, and always give her time to digest it.

"Well, I know, give me more time, and give my father some time, blood is thicker than water, and you can't rush it."

Hearing her say this, Su Mu's eyes darkened, but she just touched her hair, "You have grown up and have your own opinions, this is a good thing, a good thing." ”

The most she's heard these days is, you've grown up.

"Thank you, mother," she said, as she pondered her words.

"Silly girl, thank you to your mother," Su Muyou rubbed her hair before re-weaving, "Go get busy, this family has worked hard for you." ”

"Hmm," answered, Su Qiange returned to the courtyard, looking at the back at the door, and felt a special feeling in his heart.

"Sister Wu, come and try it, I ate it yesterday, I must still want to eat it today, come and try it." Father Su smiled and pulled Aunt Wu, who was standing at the opposite door to watch the excitement.

"No, no, I already ate it yesterday. We still have to farm, and we have to go back to weaving, and we often can't afford to eat this thing, besides, who eats this thing at noon. ”

Aunt Wu waved her hand and greeted: "Did Brother Su have lunch?" Would you like to take a bite? ”

Father Su smiled and shook his head, "No, I've already eaten, eldest sister, go back to eat first, I'm still busy." ”

"That's okay, it's the same if you have time to come over for dinner." Aunt Wu said, closed the door and went home.

The moment the door closed, Father Su's face fell, and he wanted to slap himself, it was really useless, he couldn't even pull a guest.

After a while, the fragrance came out of the Wu family on the other side, and the fragrance was exactly the same as the taste of octopus, and Father Su knew in his heart that they were cooking by themselves in order to save money.

But the more he understood, the more uncomfortable he became.

For a whole morning, there were very few people coming to the door, and Su Qiange's heart was a little depressed.

In order to save money, the villagers can cook by themselves, so her craftsmanship is not worth mentioning in the face of poverty, let alone crabs that are delicious no matter how they are cooked.

Xue Chen looked at the sluggish Su Qiange and stepped forward.

"People here like to eat things that will keep them hungry. The most important thing is that the people in this village are not rich, and they have three pennies a day, which is equivalent to half a life. Therefore, chickens, ducks, fish and geese are not something they can consume, just these aquatic products, it is okay to try them occasionally, and it is too stressful to eat them every day. ”

Listening to his words, Su Qiange looked dazed, "How do you know?" ”

"It can be seen from my uncle's eating habits that this is called looking at the big from the small." Xue Chen sat back in a chair with his hands on his chest.

"In addition, everyone is farming, and they don't even have food for many years, so how can they be willing to spend three pennies every day to buy these things? It's too much of a luxury for them. ”

Su Qiange sat on the chair, recalling what Xue Chen had just said, what he said was indeed right, everything had been shown before, but she ignored it.

"So I should lower the price?"

Xue Chen rolled his eyes, "Say you're stupid, but you're still not convinced." ”

"If you have a fart, let it go, if you have something to say," Su Qiange was very annoyed.

"It's not the price you want to change, it's the dishes!"

……

"Master, I've found out."

Lao Li, the housekeeper standing in the study, looked at Wang Cheng who was sitting on it, lowered his head and replied softly.

"Say."

"Sir, look what this is."

Lao Li put the small bowl in his hand on the table, and Wang Cheng shifted his gaze from the body of the gnats in his hand to the table. When you see the contents of the bowl, your eyes are full of disdain.

"Isn't it just a fish, what's so strange? Could it be that you haven't eaten it? Just ask the people of the world who have not eaten fish, and make a fuss. ”

Wang Cheng looked at the fish in front of him with disgust, a grilled fish was nothing in his eyes.

"Master, the taste of this fish is different from the taste of our restaurant, to be precise, it is more delicious."

Lao Li raised his eyes lightly and looked at the person in front of him cautiously. When he saw that Wang Cheng's face changed, he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Take the chopsticks."

Lao Li trembled and put the chopsticks in Wang Cheng's hand.

Wang Cheng stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth, the more he chewed, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and finally slapped the chopsticks on the table.
