86, apple crisp (the ninth day of February)
"Eldest sister, grandparents really won't look for us anymore?"
Su Chenrui walked next to Su Rui with Su Chennan in her arms, and Su Ying looked at Su Rui with uncertainty when she heard it.
Su Rui shook her head, "I don't know if the eldest sister will be in the future, but it will definitely not be recently." ”
Su Ying sighed: "It won't be good news recently." ”
"Miss, young master, you're back."
As soon as the Su Rui siblings walked to the gate of the courtyard, the gate opened from the inside.
"Ah, come in, let's talk."
Meng Mingzhou was stunned, he didn't know what Su Rui wanted to talk about with him, so he closed the door and followed into the hall.
Su Rui sat on the main seat and motioned to the younger siblings to do whatever they wanted.
"Sit down, don't stand."
"Yes."
Su Rui saw Meng Mingzhou sitting down, pondered for a moment and said, "That, Meng Mingzhou, you also saw that we are just an ordinary village, and all the people who live there are ordinary villagers. There really aren't any big families, and there are no servants or maids or anything. ”
Meng Mingzhou nodded, he had already found out when he arrived in Sujia Village yesterday.
"I know."
"Then you know, don't really call us any young lady in the future, young master."
"You bought our brother, you are our master, if you don't call you Miss, then what are we called?"
Su Rui rubbed her temples with a headache, stood up and walked back and forth.
"You should know today that my grandmother told us to go to the clan."
"Hmm."
"Do you know why?"
Meng Mingzhou said uncertainly, "Is it because of the money?" ”
Su Rui nodded, "Yes, just because of a few dozen taels of silver, they can ask us to go to the clan to confront me, and they want the clan to deal with me." ”
"If you let them know that I bought two people for a dozen taels, what do you think will happen to me?"
Su Rui saw Meng Mingzhou's somewhat confused eyes, and understood that he must not have figured it out, but Su Rui also understood, he saw that he had been surrounded by slaves since he was a child, and he was used to being served, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with buying someone to serve him.
After all, the living environment and living habits since childhood are all different.
Su Rui sighed, "Alas, when the time comes, let the people of the clan know that we have the money to buy people to enjoy, but there is no money to honor the elders, and the clan elders who were originally on the side of our sisters and brothers will no longer support us." ”
Meng Mingzhou nodded slowly, he seemed to understand why Su Rui had not let him be called the eldest lady since he bought him.
"And what should I call it in the future?"
"Huh? Ah, this, well, let me think about it. ”
"Also, it's not allowed to tell outsiders that you bought it, just say, well, just say that it's my mother's cousin's child, and my parents got lost and fled."
"Since it's the child of my mother's cousin's family, let's call us cousins, right?"
Meng Mingzhou was a little surprised, he thought that Su Rui would explain that he was hired to help outsiders, but he didn't expect it......
"Well, I remember, cousin."
Su Rui felt that her idea was great, at first she thought that it was a relative of the Hua family, but no, in ancient times, a strange man lived in a courtyard and his reputation was bad, although she was only eleven or twelve years old, and her sisters were still young, but she also had to take precautions.
It's better if the cousins are related.
Su Rui didn't expect that there were not a few brothers and sisters who intermarried in ancient times, but they were not so particular in the village.
"Okay, I don't have anything to do, you've been busy all day, go back and rest, it's still early, I'll call you before dinner."
"Yes, then I'll go back first."
Su Rui nodded, "Hmm"
"Eldest sister, Chen Nan is sleepy." Su Wan led Su Chennan back from the backyard.
Su Rui saw Su Chennan's little hand rubbing her eyes constantly, and hurriedly stopped it.
"Wan'er helped the eldest sister wash a handkerchief."
"Okay."
"Chen Nan is good, eldest sister hug."
Su Chennan obediently lay in Su Rui's arms, and Su Wan ran back with the washed handkerchief.
Su Rui took off Su Chennan's shoes and coat, put them in the futon laid on the kang, took the handkerchief and carefully wiped his little face and hands while talking to Su Wan.
"Wan'er is so good, what did you go to the backyard to see again?"
Su Wan took off her shoes and sat on the kang, "I'm going to see Tutu and Chick, eldest sister, our hay will be gone soon, Tutu will have nothing to eat soon, what should I do?" ”
Su Rui "............ I'm not afraid of this, the eldest sister will go buy some cabbage tomorrow and come back. ”
"Do you still have cabbage for sale?"
"Yes, when did the eldest sister lie to you?"
Su Wan thought that Su Rui had indeed not deceived her, and nodded happily, "Then the eldest sister wants to buy more, we have more rabbits now, and we may eat them." ”
Su Rui sighed, what kind of job did she find for herself, she shouldn't have said raising rabbits, she should have said raising chickens.
"Okay, eldest sister remembers. You sleep with your younger brother, and your eldest sister will wake you up later. ”
Su Rui rubbed Su Wan's little face and helped her take off her coat.
Su Wan was indeed sleepy, and stretched out her little hand and yawned a little.
"Eldest sister, the third sister is ready to eat, don't forget to call me."
Su Rui watched Su Wan crawl into the quilt with a smile, closed her eyes, and didn't forget the delicious food.
"Okay, the eldest sister must call you."
"Hmm"
Not long after the words fell, the little one fell asleep.
Su Rui waited for a while, and saw that the two of them did not kick the quilt before walking out of the bedroom.
"Qiao'er, what are you doing?"
Su Qiao looked up and saw the eldest sister walking in, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, I saw that dinner was still early, so I wanted to live some brown sugar crispy noodles, and the filling in it was replaced with applesauce, so as to see if it tasted good." ”
Su Rui walked in and saw Su Qiao putting the shortbread in an oil-free pan and frying, which was a little strange.
"Why don't you take the cellar and roast it? How many can you fry this in a pan once? How slow. ”
Su Ying was lighting a fire in front of the stove. "Eldest sister, Qiao'er didn't make a few, she felt that there was no need to heat the cellar if it was too little, troublesome."
Su Qiao nodded.
Su Rui glanced at the board, and there were still four that were indeed ready and not fried, and one more pot would be fine.
"Okay, you see, don't worry about wasting firewood, just use what you need to use, and in the future, the eldest sister will buy charcoal to burn, so you don't have to pick up so many branches."
Su Qiao, "Is it delicious to taste the apple shortbread today, if it is delicious and can be sold, I will go to the cellar every day to bring apples up." ”
Su Ying nodded, feeling that she was too right to invite Lord Huang's tablet, fortunately, she would be pious and would serve three pillars of incense sooner or later.
"I'll take it with you then, this Lord Huang is really good, he sends us fresh apples every day."
Su Qiao was not satisfied with only apples, "Alas, it would be nice if Lord Huang could send us more different fruits." ”
Su Rui "............... People should be realistic, not daydreaming. ”
Su Qiao grinned, "Hehe, I'm just thinking about it." ”
Su Rui is really going crazy, the pits she dug for herself in the early stage are now appearing one after another.
"Wow, it's so fragrant, big sister, hurry up and taste it." Su Qiao took a plate and put two pieces of the finished apple crisp into it.
Su Rui saw that her two younger sisters were looking at her expectantly, and Su Rui shouted helplessly, "You can taste it yourself, don't keep looking at me." ”
