45. Storytelling (the eighth day of the first month)

"Eldest sister, I'm back." Su Chenrui carried his bamboo box, saw that there was no one in the yard, and there was a sound in the stove room, and walked in.

"How did you feel about going to a private school for the first time?" Su Rui didn't raise her head and added firewood to the stove.

Su Chenrui saw that the three sisters were busy, so he put down the bamboo box, sat next to Su Rui and said, "Mr. today did not give a lecture, but just told us various matters, saying that he would send his own rations to the stove every month, and the rations for today's lunch were from the private school. ”

Su Qiao picked up the fried hemp leaves, handed them to Su Chenrui and said, "I said why didn't the eldest brother come back for lunch today, so that the eldest brother will eat lunch in the private school in the future?" ”

"Click"

Su Chenrui said while eating: "Well, yes, what will the private school do in the future, what will we eat, we will never be able to eat Qiao'er's food for lunch." What is this? It's delicious. ”

Su Rui smiled beside her, "Today and Qiao'er came up with a new idea, you are the same as Wan'er, no matter what you eat, you say it is delicious." ”

Su Qiao handed Su Chenrui another piece: "Big brother, if you like it, eat more." ”

"Hehe, it's really delicious." Su Chenrui took it embarrassedly.

Su Rui: "By the way, you said you want to send food, so is there a requirement for what kind of food to send?" ”

Su Chenrui wiped his mouth after eating hemp leaves and said: "There are requirements, the rice must be hulled, the wheat must also be ground into flour, and the corn is also required to be noodles." ”

Su Rui saw that Su Chenrui finished saying this, so she stopped, and said helplessly, "Can't you finish it all at once?" ”

Su Chenrui looked at Su Rui blankly, "Huh? ”

"Alas... For example, rice flour, corn flour can be any of the three kinds, or all three kinds of grain, and how many catties of each grain are needed. Su Rui didn't wait for Su Chenrui to think slowly, and asked him directly.

Su Chenrui reacted and hurriedly said, "Ah, oh, there are requirements, there are requirements." In January, one person has two catties of white flour, two catties of rice, and fifteen catties of cornmeal per month, and if there is no rice flour, one catty of rice flour is replaced by two catties of cornmeal. ”

"Well, it's okay. The harvest is still very reasonable, and the pure cornmeal is only twenty-three catties a month, which ordinary people can afford. ”

Su Ying thought for a while and asked, "Eldest sister, then what should we prepare for Chen Rui?" ”

"Well, is this, Chenrui, can I prepare all the cornmeal for you?" Su Rui asked Su Chenrui's opinion.

Su Chenrui doesn't care, as long as he can eat at noon, it doesn't matter what he eats.

"Yes."

"Eldest sister, why don't you bring rice noodles to eldest brother?"

Su Qiao was a little strange, there was a lot of food at home, especially the rice and wheat in the cellar as if they couldn't finish it, and there was still a lot left over as much as they wanted.

Su Rui didn't know Su Qiao's doubts, otherwise she would definitely think that it was because I often took it out of the space and put it in!

Su Rui explained: "In the eyes of outsiders, our family has no money. ”

"Oh, got it"

As soon as he walked into the hall with the fried hemp leaves, Su Chennan heard the voice, and in the bedroom, Wow Wow yelled at Su Rui.

"Alas... Don't scream, isn't the eldest sister here? Su Rui put down the hemp leaves and walked to the bedroom helplessly.

"The eldest sister ignores Chen Nan, and the elder sister doesn't give her food." Su Chennan saw Su Rui walking to the side of the kang, stood up and walked to Su Rui's side, and pointed at Su Wan to complain.

Su Wan was unhappy and retorted: "Eldest sister, Chen Nan lied to people and obviously gave him a few pieces." ”

Su Rui looked at the empty bowl, then looked at the debris on Su Chennan's mouth and chest, nodded Su Chennan's nose and said, "Okay, you, you can't finish your words, and you're starting to deceive people?" If your fourth sister doesn't give you something to eat, then where does the scum on your mouth come from? ”

"Chen, Chennan only ate a little" Su Chennan looked at Su Rui with a weak heart, and gestured a little bit.

"Then eat it too, if you don't behave, you will be punished for not eating! And say "I'm sorry" to your fourth sister. Su Rui believes that no matter how young a child is, lying is a bad habit and must be corrected from an early age.

Su Chennan had never seen her eldest sister so fierce to him, she was a little stunned, and slowly her eyes were full of tears.

Su Ying looked a little distressed, the younger brother was taken care of by her and her eldest sister since he was born, because she had never seen her mother, so Su Ying especially doted on Su Chennan.

walked up to Su Chennan, carefully held it in his arms, and said to Su Rui: "Eldest sister, the younger brother is still young, why don't you forget it?" Wan'er doesn't have anything..."

Su Wan thought of the beating she had received, and she was afraid that the eldest sister would beat her younger brother, so she hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, Wan'er is fine." My brother is playing with Wan'er. ”

When Su Rui saw that Su Qiao and Su Chenrui also wanted to persuade her, she hurriedly stopped her and motioned for her younger siblings to sit down.

"Maybe you think Chen Nan is just playing with Wan'er, trying to curry favor with me and sell pity. But I don't think so. Because of the first lie, don't teach, don't care, listen but don't listen, turn a blind eye, he will taste the sweetness, and in the future, he may wronged his brothers and sisters for a little thing, once, twice, three times, we are relatives, we will definitely tolerate him, but over time, at a certain time, his courage will become bigger and bigger, and he will deceive outsiders, but the people outside are not related to him, why should people tolerate him? ”

Su Rui sighed and continued, "Hey... When the time comes, it's too late to discipline you, you know? ”

A hint of panic flashed in Su Ying's eyes, and she hurriedly let go of Su Chennan and stammered, "Big, eldest sister won't be there, right?" Chen Nan is still young. ”

Seeing that her younger siblings still didn't believe it, Su Rui thought for a while and continued: "That eldest sister will tell you a little story about lying. ”

Su Ying nodded.

"Ahem" Su Rui cleared her throat and said: "Once upon a time, there was a sheep herding baby, and he had to go to the mountains to herd sheep every day. One day, he came up with an idea to trick everyone into having fun. He shouted to the farmers who were farming at the bottom of the mountain: "The wolf is coming! Help me! Hearing the shouts, the peasants hurried up the hill to save him. The sheep herding Wahaha laughed: "You guys are fooled! The farmers went away angrily. The next day, the old trick of the sheep herding baby was repeated, and although the farmers were suspicious, they still went, and found that the sheep herding doll was still lying and was very angry, so they no longer believed his words. ”

Su Chenrui liked to listen to stories very much, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, what about then?" What happened to this sheep herding doll? ”

Su Rui poured a glass of water and drank a few sips, and Su Ying looked at Su Rui anxiously.

Su Rui slowly put down the water glass, looked at her younger siblings, and continued: "After a few days, the wolf really came and broke into the flock all at once. The sheep herding baby was very frightened, and desperately shouted: "The wolf is coming!" Help! "When the peasants heard his cry, they thought he was lying to them again, so no one came to his aid, and many of the sheep were killed by wolves."

After listening to the story, Su Chenrui glanced at each other, lowered his head and thought about it.

After a while, Su Rui asked, "What do you tell us about this story?" ”

Su Qiao spoke first and said, "Eldest sister, this story tells us that lying is a bad behavior. ”

Su Rui nodded, "Well, Qiao'er is right, Ying'er, what do you think?" ”

"I think it's not good for this sheep herding doll to disrespect others."

"Where's Wan'er?"

Su Wan was still young and didn't understand any reason, so she just said, "Sister, I know that people can't lie, so no one will believe it." ”

Su Rui gently touched Su Wan's little face and said, "Wan'er is right. ”

Su Chenrui thought about it for a long time, but Su Rui didn't urge him, just drank tea silently.

Su Chenrui finally mustered up the courage and said to Su Rui: "Eldest sister, I think this story tells us that we should be honest and not lie to achieve our goals. You can't lie to fool others. ”

Su Rui nodded with relief, although the sisters didn't say everything she wanted to express, but Su Chenrui expressed it, indicating that they really understood the story.

"So, do you still think that the eldest sister is making a big fuss?"

Su Ying shook her head violently, "Eldest sister, you are right." ”

Su Rui looked at Su Chennan pitifully, touching her tears with her little hands, her heart softened, no matter what, he was only more than a year old, in fact, he didn't understand reasoning.

"Alas... Chen Nan, don't lie to people in the future, you know. ”

Su Chennan saw Su Rui open her arms towards him, and suddenly threw herself into her arms, crying aggrievedly, and said with a crying voice: "Eldest sister, Chennan is good, don't lie to my sister." ”

"Hmm... Say "I'm sorry" to your fourth sister. ”

Su Chennan was in Su Rui's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Sister, I'm sorry". ”

Su Wan touched her brother's head behind and said, "I forgive you, but you are not allowed to lie to people in the future." ”

"Chen Nan is good..."
