28. Recuperation (30th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar)
Second Uncle Song's physical fitness is really not ordinarily good, and the wound has been healing in just a few days, although it also has a certain effect of spiritual spring water.
Although his legs are not good, he can walk around with his support for the wall, and the speed of recovery is already amazing.
Su Rui saw that he had gone to the ground again, so she was dissatisfied: "Second Uncle Song, you should stay in bed to recuperate, otherwise you will fall ill in the future." ”
Song Lao Er" ......... I remembered, just lie down. ”
After staying for a few days, Song Lao Er knew that this family was Su Rui's family, and this year it was a bad fate, both parents died, grandparents were unkind, uncles were not happy, and younger siblings were young. It's all up to her......
Song Lao Er felt very sorry for this mature little girl, in their Song family, girls were all going to be pampered here.
Su Chenrui ran in with Su Wan and said, "Second Uncle Song, can you still tell us a story?" After Su Chenrui and Song Wan got acquainted with Second Uncle Song, they didn't go out to play with Su Qiang and a few people for the past few days, pestering him to tell stories every day.
Song Er smiled happily: "Then let's tell you today, the story of Liu Zilong in Changshan............"
Su Rui's "............" is an overhead dynasty that has changed the names of many people in history, and she has been numb to hearing it in the past two days.
After a few more days, Su Rui said to Song Er: "Second Uncle Song, we are going to the county seat tomorrow, do you need my help?" ”
Second Uncle Song pondered for a moment: "Do you have pen and paper?" I'll write a letter, and you will help me deliver it to the station. ”
Su Rui brought him Song Chenrui's pen and paper.
After a while, Second Uncle Song handed two pieces of paper to Su Rui: "One of these is the address, I'm sorry for you Miss Su." ”
Su Rui folded the letter directly and didn't read it. just glanced at the address and read softly: "Yuncheng Song family, Song Jinyu receives, holding Jin Huaiyu is really a good name." ”
Second Uncle Song raised his eyebrows, "Are you literate?" ”
"When I was a child, my father taught for two years, but I just knew each other, and I didn't know much about writing. Second Uncle Song, you can rest assured, I won't read the letter you wrote. ”
The next day, before Su Rui went out, she explained to Song Erdao: "Second Uncle Song, lunch is left in the pot." We can't come back at noon, so you have to warm it up yourself, right? ”
Song Er nodded: "Okay, you guys be careful all the way..."
On the ox cart, Aunt Lin, Aunt Hua, Chen Yuan, Su Min and Su Qin were already in the car.
Aunt Hua took Chen Nan and said, "Rui girl, come up, go early, there is still fat." ”
"Wan girl, sit next to Aunt Lin, and sit with your sister Min'er and sister Qin'er." Aunt Lin pulled Su Wan over.
Su Rui got on the ox cart: "Thank you, Aunt Hua." ”
"Chen Rui, why haven't you come to play with me lately? It's been a long time since I've seen you. Su Chenyuan sat at the front of the car and looked at Su Chenrui beside him dissatisfied.
Su Chenrui glanced back at Su Rui: "After the New Year, the eldest sister plans to send me to a private school, but I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up, so let me be literate at home." ”
Before coming out, Su Rui explained to Su Chenrui, how to explain why she didn't go out.
"You're going to a private school? I heard that the gentleman inside is stern," Su Chenyuan trembled with fright...
Su Chenrui raised his head proudly and said: "The eldest sister said that strict teachers produce high apprentices, and if you want to get ahead, you must learn knowledge. ”
Aunt Lin was surprised, turned her head and asked Su Rui, "You want to send Chen Rui to study?" That's a lot of money, and not all of them can ......."
Su Rui understood Aunt Lin's unspoken words, she knew how difficult the ancient scientific examination was, how expensive it was, many people had never taken the Tongsheng exam in their lives, let alone raised people to become scholars...
"He is still young, I can't let him farm all his life, if you want to go to the county seat, to go to a bigger and better place, you have to learn skills, and the premise of learning skills must be literate and reasonable. Although it costs money in the early stage, it is just an investment, and there will be gains later. ”
Aunt Hua question? "Investment? What is it? ”
Su Rui thought for a while, how to say it to be simple and easy to understand, and then said: "It's like this kind of land, if you want to plant well, you need to fertilize." The money spent in the early stage is like fertilizer, and only when the land is fertilized can the crops be good. People are the same, only by reading books and reasoning can they have a future. ”
Aunt Hua suddenly realized: "Then should I also send Chen Jie and Chen Wei to study in private school for two years?" ”
Su Rui nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, although many people who study are all for the sake of gaining fame, it is always good to know some words and understand some truths." ”
Aunt Lin was also a little hesitant on the side, whether to let Chen Yuan go with her...
When they arrived at the county seat, Su Rui's sister and brother and Aunt Lin and their party acted separately and agreed to meet at the old place in two hours.
"Sister, where are we going?"
"Go to the post station first and help Second Uncle Song send a letter."
Su Wan: "Oh........."
"Sugar gourd, sweet and big sugar gourd"
Su Wan saw a man carrying a handful of sugar gourds and pulled down the sleeve of the eldest sister: "Eldest sister... Wan'er wants to eat. ”
"Eat, big sister, eat." Su Chennan heard it and muttered about it.
Su Rui nodded and walked towards the vendor selling sugar gourds, "How do you sell sugar gourds?" ”
The sugar gourd vendor replied enthusiastically: "Girl, a string of three cents." ”
"Eight skewers, wrap them all."
"Okay, a total of twenty-four texts."
Su Chenrui took it and put it in the back basket.
Su Rui said to her younger siblings, "It's too cold outside, the sugar gourd will be eaten for you when I go back." ”
The post station finished sending the letter.
Su Rui suddenly remembered the promise she had made before: "Eldest sister remembers, I promised you to come to the county seat to have a good meal, and today we will go to the largest restaurant to eat good." ”
Although Su Chenrui, Su Ying and Su Qiao didn't speak, their eyes were obviously a lot brighter, and they seemed eager to try.
Su Wan was much more direct: "Sister, I want to eat a lot." ”
"Eat, eat"
"Okay, Chen Nan and Wan'er both eat."
Shunhe Restaurant.
Before anyone stepped into the restaurant, he saw the guy greet him warmly, helped take off the backpack on Su Chenrui's shoulder, held it in his hand and said, "Come in, what do you need to eat?" ”
As soon as Su Ying and the others came in, they stiffened and didn't dare to move, while Su Rui sat down and asked calmly, "What is it?" ”
The man put the basket away and poured the water before he replied, "The best thing we sell in this winter is stewed mutton." Do you need some? ”
Su Rui asked her younger siblings if they wanted to eat it, and the answer was that they all wanted to taste it.
"A braised fish, a braised goose, the staple food. Let's just want steamed buns..."
The guy shouted, "Okay, everyone, wait a minute." ”
After the others left, Su Rui said, "What are you doing, we're here to spend money!" It's uncle! You give me confidence, raise your head and chest, and think that we are here to ask for food...... "Su Rui is very dissatisfied with the performance of her younger siblings!
With a "whoosh", they all sat up straight.
Su Ying was still a little nervous, and said tremblingly: "Big, eldest sister, why aren't you afraid?" ”
Su Rui rolled her eyes: "Why should I be afraid?" I'm here to send money, not to ask for money! That's what I'm confident about! ”
I thought to myself, "It seems that I will have to come out often in the future, and after staying in the village for a long time, I don't have any confidence at all, which is not good." ”
"Let's take the dishes, a few of you will enjoy them slowly."
Su Rui picked up the chopsticks, first added a piece of goose meat to herself, and then sandwiched a piece for each of her younger siblings, and then said to her younger siblings, "Eat quickly, after eating, we still have to go buy something." ”
"Well, it tastes good. I think his stewed mutton is far less delicious than goose meat. You say yes, right? ”
After Su Rui finished eating the mutton, she picked up another piece of goose meat, thinking to herself, "In this ancient world, when there was no pollution and no feed, all kinds of meat were really good, but they were much better than the so-called sour meat in modern times." ”
"Eldest sister, this is delicious and fragrant." Su Ying ate a piece of meat, continued to sandwich the meat, and licked her lips.
"It's delicious, eat" even Xiao Chennan thinks it tastes good.
Su Qiao tasted it carefully: "Eldest sister, I will make goose meat that is better than this in the future." ”
"Eldest sister, I will earn a lot of silver in the future, and I will buy goose roast meat every day to eat." Su Chenrui was not to be left behind, and hurriedly expressed his heart.
Su Rui waved her hand, stopped her brother and sister who continued to express her heartfelt feelings, and said, "Okay, you guys, as long as you are well." The eldest sister can earn back as much money as she wants. ”
Su Chenrui and a few people"..................... Eldest sister, is it really good that you are so demoralizing us? ”
