Autumn is not over, and the car is in the wind.

Su was kind and they traveled all the way, and it was half a month early.

On this day, the group came to the Taiping realm, and Sima Lantai asked the accompanying officials to go back the same way.

Su Haoyi stood on the road and played wild, they were walking on the mountain road, which happened to stop at a high place, and they could see far away from the heights.

There was a small lonely village in the east, and it was dusk, and the smoke of each house was rising.

Su looked at it dumbfounded, and was a little stupid.

"Hachiro," Sima Lantai called her softly from the side, "What are you thinking?" ”

Su Haoyi came back to his senses, pointed to the small village over there and said, "I'm looking at that small village, when I was a child, I used to follow my grandmother to the village alleys to deliver babies." Women give birth at different times, often leaving early and returning late. Whenever we caught up with the meal, the family would cook for us. Sometimes I would bring us a few hard-boiled eggs when I didn't have time to cook, and sometimes someone I knew would stuff food into my hand while walking on the road. ”

Sima Lantai knew that Grandma Su was an old wound in Su Haoyi's heart, and whenever she encountered people and things related to her, Su Haoyi would definitely be sad.

"Why don't we go to that village to stay," Sima Lantai gently stroked the top of Su's kind head: "Use the snacks and dried meat we brought to exchange with them for boiled eggs." ”

"Childe always clings to me like this, and he spoils me." Su Haoyi pursed his lips and smiled, the light in his eyes was like the stars in the middle of the night.

She knew that although Sima Lantai was not good at words, he was a very gentle and considerate person.

Many people think that he is arrogant and cold, firstly, because he has not had much contact with him, and also because those people are often not simple-minded.

In fact, for example, the children of the nobles like Gao Zhao have always been easy and easy-going to their friends, and they don't take a stand at all, no different from the children of commoners.

However, they are not stupid, and they will always keep a distance from those who have ulterior motives.

They found their way to the village and drove there.

After entering the village, Su Haoyi shrugged his nose and sniffed around like a puppy.

"What a fragrant roasted sweet potato! And boiled eggs! Su Haoyi's eyes were shining, and her back was straight, and she would look like this when she encountered something she was extremely interested in.

"It should be that one." Sima Lantai pointed to a low thatched hut and said.

"I don't know if there is enough food for his family." Su said with good intentions that he had jumped out of the car.

"It's enough for the two sons to eat." Mo Tong smiled and said, "Let's eat the dry food in the car." ”

The life of this family is obviously not very good, not only the house is dilapidated, but there is not even a decent firewood pile in the yard.

Su Haoyi guessed that this family should have no strong labor, and it would not work to live in the village without a strong man.

Mo Tong had already walked in front to call the door, and after a while, the door of the grass hut creaked open, and a rickety old woman walked out of it.

Before Mo Tong could speak, the old woman cried and said, "Don't rush, isn't it still dark!" You have to let your child eat before you go on the road. ”

"Mother-in-law, you recognize the wrong person," Mo Tong stepped forward with a smile: "We are passing by here, and we want to have a meal at your house, but I don't know if it will work out?" ”

"Oh, I'm really sorry, I can't see clearly this old dizzy eye." The old woman apologized while wiping her eyes: "I see that there are many of you, so you should be here to pick up people." Come on in! I don't have anything good to eat in my family, so if you don't dislike it, just use some casually! ”

The mother-in-law's house was too poor, and Su Haoyi and the others went in to find that there was only one room except for the fire room.

The walls were in vain, and not a single decent piece of furniture was left.

But on the tattered template bed sat a young girl in a wedding dress, so ashamed that she turned her back and didn't dare to look at them.

"I'm sorry mother-in-law, it turns out that your family has a happy event today, and we collided." Su Haoyi hurriedly made amends.

The bride is here, and a group of men of them rush in.

Su Haoyi grew up in the countryside when he was a child, and knew that most of the people in this country were very kind and hospitable.

Even for people you don't know, you will take out the things that you are usually reluctant to eat at home and give them to the guests.

So they offered to eat here, and the mother-in-law agreed without even thinking about it.

"It's good that Childe doesn't think my family is cold, please sit down!" The mother-in-law wiped the stool with her sleeve and said, "Our grandparents and grandchildren don't have any relatives and friends here, so it's rare for a guest to come today." ”

The bride had already run outside to stand, and Su Hao thought that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

However, girls from rural families often marry early, and it is not uncommon for them to marry at this age.

"Mother-in-law, today is a good day for your granddaughter, we are destined to catch up, let's wrap a red envelope for this girl in a while!" Su said with a smile.

She saw that the life of the family was very poor, so she had the heart to help her, and it can be regarded as a fate today.

"Childe is too polite, I really don't need it." The mother-in-law went to serve the rice as she spoke, and there were indeed a few eggs boiled in the pot, and sweet potatoes were buried in the stove.

Mo Tong had already taken a few boxes of delicate snacks from their car, as well as some preserved venison and candied fruit.

Su Hao's opinion is kind to this mother-in-law, this mother-in-law doesn't want their red envelopes, it can be seen that she is a poor person but not short of ambition, which is particularly respectable.

chatted while helping her mother-in-law: "Your granddaughter is not far from marrying?" You just thought we were here to pick up our relatives, and our mother-in-law's family must be on the other side of the mountain, right? ”

If a woman marries far away, in order to catch up with the time, the in-laws will often come to pick up the relatives the night before.

The mother-in-law did not answer Su's kind words, but squatted under the stove and cried.

Su Haoyi thought that her mother-in-law was sad because she was marrying her granddaughter, so she squatted down and persuaded her with kind words: "Mother-in-law, don't be sad, if you cry like this, your granddaughter is even more reluctant." It's good for her to happily get on the sedan chair! Are you worried that you will have no one to take care of you in the future? I'll leave you a few taels of silver for pension money in a while. ”

Su Haoyi is not a good person, but she just can't watch the elderly and children suffer in her life. Because it always reminds her of the days when she and her grandmother depended on each other.

The mother-in-law cried so much that she couldn't say a word, and it took a long time before she said, "Son, you are really a good person, but you don't need it." After a while, my granddaughter is gone, and I am not alive. ”

"What does this mean? You can't help but think about it. Su Haoyi hurriedly persuaded her: "Your granddaughter's marriage, although it is sad, it is also a happy event." If you can't think about it, how sad will she be? If she knew you were going to do that, she would blame herself for the rest of her life. ”

"No, don't worry, Childe." The mother-in-law wiped her tears: "Our mother and I depend on each other for our lives, and this time we also went together." When she goes to the underworld to be a companion, she will save herself from being bullied by lonely ghosts. ”
