50, buy a mule (the eleventh day of the first month)
After Su Changle and the two left, Su Rui went into the stove room to help Su Qiao make chicken cakes together, and Aunt Hua and the two of them made hemp leaves, so they didn't need Su Rui at all.
After the four bamboo baskets were filled, Hua said, "Rui girl, I think the four bamboo baskets are a little less, you see that there are not enough to sell today." ”
"Well, then I have to trouble you and Aunt Lin to work harder and do more."
Hua smiled, God knows how hard she wants to work so hard every day, "It's not hard, it's not hard." ”
Su Rui found Su Ying, who was in front of the baking cellar and bent down to check the temperature, and said, "Second sister, do you want to help the eldest sister go to Grandpa Lin's house?" ”
When Su Ying heard this, she straightened up and said, "Okay, what's the matter with the eldest sister?" ”
"Well, let's order four bamboo baskets, just like this one set by Uncle Chang Le."
"Okay."
Su Ying turned around and walked out, Su Rui hurriedly grabbed and said, "Wait, when Uncle Changle was set yesterday, I heard that we didn't want to accept the cashier's money, and we can't pay it back today." ”
Su Rui turned around in place and said, "Well, let's do it, you can pack two catties of newly made hemp leaves and chicken cakes and take them over." ”
Lin family, Su Ying walked to the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw that the door was not closed tightly, she shouted, "Is Grandpa Lin at home?" ”
"Sister Su Ying, my grandfather is here." Lin Lijun walked out of the stove room.
Old Man Lin was smoking dry tobacco in the hall, and when he saw Su Ying coming in, he hurriedly extinguished it and said, "Su family girl, did your sister let you come?" ”
"Hello Grandpa Lin, my sister is busy, she doesn't have time to come over, and she still wants four bamboo baskets like the kind you made yesterday."
When Lin Lijun heard this, she took one out of the side bedroom, "Sister Su Ying, are you talking about this?" ”
"Well, that's it."
Old Man Lin smiled, "I thought that your sister would definitely want it later, and I made up two more yesterday when I was fine, you take it back first, and I will make up the rest later." ”
Lin Lijun took out the other one and said, "Sister Su Ying, grandpa will make up the rest in a while, and I'll send it to you." ”
Su Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "Then thank you, Sister Lijun." ”
Su Ying took out the dim sum from the bamboo basket, put it on the table in the hall and said, "This is the dim sum made by my sister, it's delicious." Grandpa Lin and Sister Lijun kept it for a try. ”
Old Man Lin has experienced Su Rui's style a few times, and understands that she is sincere since she gives it, so he did not refuse, "Thank you sister for me." ”
"Grandpa Lin is polite."
In the evening, Su Changying and the others bought the mule cart back, and by the way, they turned to the mill and pulled the flour and wheat bran back. There was no cowshed in the yard, so it had to be temporarily tied under a tree.
Su Changle returned the remaining silver to Su Rui: "The mule is fifty-five taels, which is just two years old, and he is in the prime of life." The car is set by others, and it is only thirteen taels if it is cheaper. It cost a total of sixty-eight taels, and then there were two taels of silver for the wheat processing fee, and there were ten taels left. ”
Su Rui took it and said, "Thank you for your hard work, the aunts have already gone back, you should go back to rest early, and you will have to get up early tomorrow to go to the county seat." ”
"Okay, let's unload the flour and go back."
"Uncle Chang Ying, can you raise the mules to your house first?"
Su Changying didn't think about it and said, "Of course you can, my cowshed is big, and I am still free to raise two mules." ”
Su Rui nodded, "Okay, then don't unload the wheat bran, I don't have livestock to feed it." ”
"Okay." Wheat bran is worthless, and no one eats it except in the year of the Great Tribulation.
Su Rui thought about buying it back before, and one person would give one or two pieces of silver, but if she gave it, it would change its taste.
When Su Rui was helping Su Qiao cook dinner, Lin Lijun came, "Sister Su Rui, I'll bring you a bamboo basket." ”
"It's getting dark, why do you have to make a special trip? Is it okay to come back tomorrow? Su Rui took the bamboo basket and looked at Lin Lijun reproachfully.
Lin Lijun was not angry, she could feel that Su Rui really cared about her, "Hehe, my grandfather is afraid that you will be in a hurry, so let me send it over as soon as it is ready, besides, it is not dark yet." ”
Su Rui didn't want to say harsh words to her, just sighed and said, "Alas, you are a girl, although our two families belong to the end of the village, but one is south and the other is north, and there are not as many people living in the village, is it really not safe when it gets dark?" ”
"Well, I'll be careful, Sister Surui. Shall I go back first? ”
"Big sister, I'm back." Su Chenrui's sudden shout startled Su Rui, who was about to speak.
Su Rui "........."
Su Chenrui looked at Su Rui's face turned pale, and asked cautiously, "Eldest sister, are you uncomfortable?" Why is the face not very good? ”
Lin Lijun found out what Su Rui was about to say just now... Secretly covered his mouth and lowered his head and laughed.
Su Rui calmed down and said lightly: "It's okay, since you're back, help the eldest sister send Sister Lijun home." ”
"No, no. Sister Su Rui, I can do it myself. Lin Lijun hurriedly shook her hand and said that she could.
Su Rui said with a serious face: "No, it's too late, you are a girl and dangerous." ”
When Su Rui said this, she really didn't expect that although Su Chenrui was a boy, he was not even eight years old.
Su Ying boiled the pot and walked out at this time, and persuaded her eldest sister together: "Sister Lijun, my eldest sister is right, let Chen Rui send you back." ”
"Then it's troublesome Brother Chenrui." Lin Lijun saw that the sister of the Su family said so, and it didn't look good to refuse, so she had to accept it generously.
Su Chenrui looked at his sister with a confused expression, was he abandoned? Why didn't anyone ask him if he wanted to? What if you don't do it?
Su Rui looked at her eldest brother with a dissatisfied expression, and said with a slight impatience in her tone: "What are you still standing for?" Don't put down your bamboo box yet, hurry up? ”
Su Chenrui found out that the eldest sister has an opinion on him today, and he can't express any opinions, he just needs to do it.
"I'll go." After speaking, he quickly ran into the side bedroom, put down the bamboo box, turned around and went to the hall, took the lantern and lit it, and then walked to Lin Lijun's side.
"Sister Lijun, let's go."
Lin Lijun: "Sister Su Rui, Sister Su Ying, then I'll go first." ”
Su Rui followed to the gate of the courtyard and said, "You are about the same age as Qiao'er, you can come and walk around often in the future." ”
"Hmm."
Seeing Su Chenrui and the others walk away, Su Ying asked, "Eldest sister, why were you unhappy with Chenrui just now, well?" ”
"You want to ask me why I lost my face to Chen Rui just now, right?"
Su Ying nodded embarrassedly.
"Hmm"
Su Rui walked into the stove room, saw that Su Qiao was still cleaning up, rolled up her sleeves and smiled at Su Ying and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Chen Rui suddenly shouted, which scared me, I just want to tease him." ”
Su Ying had an expression of disbelief, "Eldest sister, you have really become bad now." ”
Su Rui raised her head arrogantly and said, "Who let him scare me?" ”
Su Qiao looked at her sister in confusion on the side, with a look on her face, what are you talking about? Who am I? Where am I? Why didn't I understand anything?
