22. Send winter clothes (the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar)
The next day, after the snow, the snow was clear, and the eyes were pure white, so pure, so crystalline, and the younger brothers and sisters at home were happy.
Su Rui checked that her younger siblings were dressed before they were allowed to go out.
"Big sister." Su Chennan also wanted to go out, but Su Rui didn't allow it, so she opened her mouth pitifully and pretended to cry...
Su Rui ignored him, and explained that Su Ying was optimistic about him, so she went to see the chicken pen first to see if the chicken coop had collapsed, and when she saw that there was nothing to do, she sprinkled some food and fed some spiritual spring water.
I don't know if it's because of the spiritual spring water, her chickens are snowing, and they have been laying eggs, without pause for a day.
The eggs were taken to the stove room, and Su Qiao steamed egg custard to nourish everyone.
Yes, now that the stove room is handed over to Su Qiao, Su Rui only needs to explain what to do now, and sometimes she doesn't even have to explain, Su Qiao can also make up her own mind.
The rabbits in the family have now moved to the tool room, and the belly of the female rabbit this time is even bigger than last time, and the little rabbit has weighed two pounds. During the New Year, she should be able to slaughter a few as New Year's gifts and eat them at home, or air dry, she doesn't want to raise so many rabbits...
Su Rui thought to herself: "Fortunately, I have a space to grow crops all year round, otherwise I will go and find cabbage to feed a dozen rabbits on this snowy day?" ”
Su Rui saw Su Chenrui playing with Su Wan building a snowman, and her hands were red from the cold, and she said, "Don't play, what should I do if my hands are frozen?" Hurry up and make a fire. ”
"Eldest sister, have you seen the snowman that Wan'er has built?" Su Wan put her little hand into Su Rui's hand.
Su Rui grabbed it, it was cold, and kneaded it gently, "See, it's beautiful, it's better than your eldest brother." ”
"Hmph, that's for sure." Su Wan was very proud.
"Big sister coaxed you." Su Chenrui was evil-hearted and teased Su Wan.
"I don't believe what my eldest brother said. The eldest sister never lied to Wan'er. Su Wan was not fooled, in her eyes, whatever the eldest sister said was right.
"Alright, don't make a fuss. Eldest sister, the meal is ready, it's time to eat..."Su Qiao interrupted the verbal lawsuit between the two.
In winter, there's nothing to eat. It is egg custard, Erhe noodle steamed buns and rice porridge, accompanied by sauerkraut made by Su Qiao.
The sauerkraut made by Su Qiao, not sour, passed through the water twice, dried, cut into thin strips, and added a little hot oil to cool down. In this winter of nothing, it's already delicious.
"It's winter clothes in two days, and I'm going to ask Uncle Chang Ying to help bring some paper money back." Su Rui waited until she finished cleaning up the table before speaking.
Song Chenrui asked suspiciously: "Eldest sister, aren't you going to the city this time?" ”
"No, there's nothing you have to buy. Just two days ago, Aunt Lin said that Uncle Chang Le is now in a double situation, so he will go back and forth to the county to do the business of pulling people and earn some money for salt. "Su Rui didn't want to wander around the ox cart for a few hours on a cold day. Even if you want to do it, you have to take a mule cart with a carriage, or buy a mule cart after the New Year...
Su Rui looked at her younger siblings, "You guys, do you have anything you want?" Big sister buy it..."
The brothers and sisters of the Su family all shook their heads, "We don't know what is in the county in winter, so we don't know what we want." ”
"It only snowed yesterday, and the road is not easy to walk. Wait a few years ago, the eldest sister will take you around. ”
Su Rui looked at her younger siblings with a yearning look.
"Eldest sister, I've heard that after the New Year, there will be a temple fair to sing operas." Su Ying is still young in the end, she usually pretends to be an old man, and she is still a child inside.
Su Rui smiled, "Yes, there is singing." But you're still young, and I can't take you without an adult with you. ”
Su Rui saw that her younger siblings were all drooping down after speaking, and said again: "However, when the eldest sister makes money in business, I will invite the singer to come to Sujia Village to sing for you, okay?" ”
"Okay" The Su family brothers and sisters cheered.
Su Rui walked to Su Changying's house alone, greeted the old man first, and then went to the second room.
"Aunt Lin, I remember you said that Uncle Chang Le went to the county seat every shuang."
Lin nodded, "Yes, there are not so many people who go every day, and they are still guilty." ”
"If Uncle Ying goes to the county seat every day, help me bring some paper money back, a pound of ginger, and a pound of sorghum wine." Su Rui counted out a hundred dollars and handed it to the Lin family.
The Lin family was not polite, and accepted it directly: "Okay, I'll let Uncle Chang Ying bring it to you tomorrow." ”
After speaking, she said goodbye and went home, Su Rui really didn't worry about her younger siblings at home, it was so cold outside, what should I do if I ran out to play with a cold and cold.
When I got home, I found that my younger siblings were honestly sitting on the kang around Su Chennan.
"Why are you all sitting around Chennan?"
Su Wan shouted excitedly: "Eldest sister, younger brother will leave." ”
Su Rui was pleasantly surprised, in fact, Su Rui had just walked through, and she would be one year old in a few days. But at that time, she was in a confused stage, and she really didn't think of celebrating Su Chennan's first birthday.
Now Su Chennan is one year old and three months old, and it is too late to walk in modern times.
"Chen Nan, go to the eldest sister." Su Rui stood by the kang and opened her arms to Su Chennan.
Su Chennan was cautious at first, took a step, and then walked forward slowly, seeing that it was coming, he pounced directly on Su Rui.
Su Rui was happy. kissed Su Chennan's face.
The next evening, Su Changying bought back what Su Rui wanted.
When it was handed to Su Rui, Su Rui only took the ginger and paper money, and pushed the sorghum wine to Su Changyingdao.
"Uncle Chang Ying, we don't have anyone to drink this wine, it's for you to warm up."
Su Changying thought about it, this pot of sorghum wine was only a dozen yuan, and he could pay it back, so he happily accepted, "Uncle, thank you here." ”
Su Rui put half of the ginger into the space, and put the rest into the stove room, and explained that Su Qiao often cut a little and boiled brown sugar into ginger syrup, so that everyone could drink some, especially Su Chenrui should drink more.
Soon the first day of October arrived, and the Su family sisters and brothers got up early in the morning, wearing plain clothes, and their hair was simply pulled up. So he carried paper money and some simple food.
came to the ancestral cemetery of the Su family, in front of the grave of Su Changming and his wife.
Su Chenrui cleaned the snow on the tombstone, put the paper money on the ground, and then knelt down and lit it.
It's not that the Su Rui sisters are unwilling to do it, but that ancient women had a low status, and they couldn't enter the ancestral grave, and they weren't allowed to pay tribute to their ancestors.
Su Rui said in her heart: "Father Su and Mother Su, don't worry, I will take good care of my younger siblings." I hope you will know and bless us with peace and well. ”
Su Chenrui said while burning: "Daddy, don't worry, we are very good now, and the eldest sister is very good to us." We can eat enough and dress warmly. I don't know how many times better it was than when I was in the old house. ”
Choked up and continued: "If at that time, my father and mother can split up earlier..."
"If you can split up early, your mother will definitely not die."
Su Chenrui couldn't cry anymore.
The Su Rui sisters also cried. Only Su Chennan didn't understand anything, and looked left and right. It seems strange, why are my brothers and sisters crying?
Everyone calmed down and walked back slowly. On the way, I met the elders of the clan, and when I saw the Su Rui sisters and sisters coming out of the ancestral cemetery, they frowned, but they didn't say anything.
In the morning, the Su family sisters and brothers were in a very low mood and had no appetite.
