17. Repair the roof (the 18th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar)
When Aunt Hua came to Su's house with Su Qin.
Su Rui was watering cabbage radish in the backyard.
"Aunt Flower, Sister Jean"
"Sister Rui, thank you for the silk flowers." Su Qin's little girl came up and hugged Su Rui's arm and kissed her.
Su Rui smiled: "This silk flower is very suitable for you." ”
Aunt Hua looked at Su Ying, Su Qiao, and even Su Wan brought silk flowers, but Su Rui didn't bring them and asked, "Why didn't you bring them?" ”
Can Su Rui say that she thinks dirty? Of course not... just smiled embarrassedly: "I don't like silk flowers very much, and I will bring at least silver in the future." ”
Aunt Hua smiled and nodded: "Haha, who doesn't like silver?" ”
Aunt Hua remembered the main purpose, so she spoke: "Girl Su, your Uncle Changle has already agreed with the clansmen that he will come over to repair the roof for you on the eighteenth day." ”
"It's really troublesome Uncle Changle, how many people are there?" Su Rui took the water sent by Su Qiao and took a sip.
Aunt Hua looked at the purse that Su Ying was sewing and said, "It seems to be talking about six people, including lunch and dinner." ”
Su Rui thought for a moment: "Auntie, will you come to help me cook that day?" We may not be able to cook for that many people. ”
Aunt Hua herself wanted to come and help cook, so she agreed.
"Row"
Aunt Hua picked up the purse and exclaimed: "Oh, this girl's craftsmanship is really good!" You see that the stitches are meticulous, and that's the case with embroidery in the county, right? ”
"She does have this talent, and she can make our brother and sister's clothes now, but she has helped me a lot." Her sister has the ability, and Su Rui is very proud.
"I'll teach you embroidery, but my embroidery skills are average."
Su Ying was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Aunt Hua, I will study hard." ”
"Second sister, that's great." Su Qiao is really happy for Su Ying, she is with the second sister every day, and she knows best how serious the second sister is in practicing cutting and sewing.
The sisters looked at each other and smiled.
"What do you need to prepare for the help of the clansmen to eat? On the 17th, I went to the county seat to buy meat and vegetables, and I bought them back by the way. Su Rui asked Aunt Hua.
Aunt Hua replied casually: "This is actually based on the conditions of each family, but there must be at least one meat dish." Other people who eat wowo, two-way noodles or three-way noodles are available. ”
Su Rui nodded in understanding.
Early in the morning of the 17th, Su Rui took Su Chenrui to the county seat together, and the last time she went alone, she was almost exhausted.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw Su Changying coming with Su Chenyuan and Su Qiang in an ox cart.
"Rui girl, why didn't you come to me to borrow an ox cart? If I hadn't heard Su Qiang find Chenyuan this morning and say that you were going to the county seat this morning, I wouldn't have known. ”
"Uncle Chang Ying, I'm embarrassed to trouble you every time." Su Rui climbed into the bullock cart.
Su Chenyuan and Su Qiang dragged Su Chenrui onto the cow lane: "Sister Rui, why are you embarrassed?" Didn't you call me Daddy? Why are they all relatives so outside? ”
Su Changying waved the bullwhip and said, "What Chen Yuan said is right. ”
Su Rui laughed...
"Okay, you need to use an ox cart in the future, and you will never be polite again."
When I arrived in the county seat, today was not the day of the big market, so the ox cart could enter the market, and Su Changle sent Su Rui and a few people to the door of the butcher shop.
Su Rui took the three of them into the butcher shop, and the butcher uncle still knew Su Rui.
"Yo, it's you. How? Last time I bought back so many bones, did you get scolded? The butcher laughed.
Su Rui shook her head, "Uncle, do you still have bones today?" If anything, I'll want them all. ”
"Yes, you had more than eight pounds last time. You're going to give six copper plates. "Uncle Butcher tied the bones in the bucket.
"Uncle, you also weighed me the rest of the plate oil, and there are five catties of pork belly." Su Rui saw that there were still two large pieces of oil left on the board, and hurriedly wanted to put them on. It's early, and if it's late, it won't be sold out...
The butcher weighed the oil and asked, "There are still four trotters, or not?" If you want, it's cheaper for you. ”
"Yes, weigh me."
Su Rui took out her purse and paid the money.
Su Qiang took it first: "Sister Rui, we'll help you get it to the ox cart." ”
Su Rui didn't fight with them, but said, "Okay, you did my sister a great favor today, and I will invite you to eat wontons later, and tomorrow my sister's house will make delicious food." Come on, all of you..."
"Okay," Su Qiang and Su Chenyuan said in unison.
Su Changle waited for them to finish buying the meat and put it in the car, then said, "You guys go shopping, if you buy too many things, bring them first." I just stopped at the grocery store. ”
"Good"
Saying goodbye to Su Changying, Su Rui remembered that she had just asked the butcher, and he said that there were vegetables, fruits and the like sold in the market.
Su Rui took three small laborers and bought winter melon, cabbage, radish, apples and pears.
hurriedly walked to the grocery store, and halfway through, Su Rui suddenly remembered that this time she could take out some eggs under an excuse and said, "Eldest sister remembered that I didn't buy anything, so you go to the ox cart of the grocery store to wait for me first." ”
After finishing speaking, he ran away, found an uncle who sold a basket, and spent three dollars to buy a basket.
Found a remote place, went into the space and took out some leeks and a basket of eggs.
Back to the ox cart. I bought five catties of salt and five catties of brown sugar at the grocery store.
I didn't rush back for lunch at noon, so Su Rui invited Chang Suying to eat wontons together.
Back in Sujia Village, Su Changying did not walk from the village, and returned to Su Rui's house in a circle from outside the village.
After breakfast the next morning, Su Changle and Su Changying came together with the clan uncles who helped.
"Uncles, I'm going to trouble you today." Su Rui hurriedly greeted her.
Su Changle waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go get busy." Your aunt will come in a moment, and we'll go to work first. ”
Su Rui packed the contents of the house into the cupboard yesterday, or took a step to cover it.
"Qiao'er, you will take Wan'er and Chennan to Uncle Changying's house today to play with Min'er and Chenli. Call them over for dinner at noon. Su Rui thought that there were a lot of people today, and it was a mess, so it was better to let them go out to play.
"Okay, eldest sister" Su Qiao obediently picked up Chen Nan and led Su Wan to the door.
"Chen Rui, you boil a little more boiling water, take out the brown sugar that the eldest sister bought yesterday, and make brown sugar water for the uncles to drink." Su Rui commanded Su Chenrui, she didn't have the concept that children can't work.
Su Chenrui hurriedly ran to the stove room to light a fire and boil water.
Su Rui saw the leeks she bought yesterday and said to Su Ying: "Let's practice the oil last night, take out some chopped up, mix it with leeks, and scramble a few eggs into it." Buns with two noodles"
Su Ying said embarrassedly: "Eldest sister, I won't ...... it"
Su Ying can only pinch the wo wo and steamed steamed buns and paste the cakes, and she really hasn't wrapped buns.
"Ying girl, let's wrap it." Aunt Hua's voice came.
Su Rui looked up and saw that it was Aunt Hua and Aunt Lin.
"When the aunts come, then my heart will be at peace."
Aunt Hua patted Su Ying's head and said, "Okay, you and Qin'er will help pick a vegetable and make a fire." ”
Lin nodded and smiled: "It's good to be able to help light the fire, picking vegetables." ”
Someone helped, Su Rui was not busy, five catties of white flour and five catties of cornmeal, and handed them over to Aunt Hua and noodles.
Aunt Lin put the scrambled eggs and oil on the board together, and began to chop them up.
Su Rui took Su Ying and Su Qin to pick leeks...
