18. Repair the roof follow-up

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

"Sister Su Rui, we're here to help you." Chen Yuan, Chen Jie, Chen Wei and Su Qiang are all here.

Before Su Rui could answer, Aunt Hua preemptively said, "You guys are coming to eat something delicious, right?" Don't just wait to eat, fetch water. ”

The four-and-a-half-sized boy took Su Chenrui, took two buckets and ran.

Here, Aunt Hua has already reconciled the noodles and is waiting for the filling.

"Rui girl, are you going to make steamed buns at noon?"

Su Rui washed the picked leeks and handed them to Lin Shi and said, "Well, the time is tight at noon, and it's too late to make meat." It just happened that I boiled oil last night, and there was oil, so I wrapped a bun and added rice porridge. ”

Aunt Hua nodded in agreement.

Su Rui continued: "In the evening, I plan to make stewed soybeans with pig's trotters, stewed radish with braised pork, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage with oil. ”

"Well, the staple food is sticking a cake, that's enough, right?" Su Rui asked Lin and Aunt Hua.

"Enough, it's not enough. So what's to eat? Lin said busily.

"I think if the money for food is not as good as the money for repairs, it will chill the hearts of the people. It's going to cost you money anyway..."

Su Rui secretly said in her heart: "Hire six people to work, at least ten wen per person, plus two meals, the money spent is not a lot, and ask the clansmen to help, after eating a good meal, you can brush up some goodwill, isn't it the best of both worlds?" ”

Su Rui praised her wit.

"You're doing the right thing, it's good to your people. If it's a little difficult, I'll lend a hand to help..."

As he spoke, Lin adjusted the filling.

The process of making buns, Aunt Lin rolls the skin, and Aunt Hua wraps.

I saw that each bun skin was quickly pinched out of eighteen folds in Aunt Hua's hands.

Sister Su Rui was stunned...

Su Qin said proudly: "My mother's embroidery is average, but the craftsmanship of making buns and dumplings is a trick." ”

Su Ying boiled the pot, Su Rui washed the rice, dripped a little oil and prepared to steam the last basket of steamed buns to boil rice porridge together.

Su Chenrui filled the water tank, lifted two buckets of water and put them aside, and then helped the clan uncles hand over something, pour a glass of sugar water to drink, and other small favors...

"Uncles, come down and wash your hands and eat. After eating, I'll be busy..."Su Rui saw that the last basket of steamed buns was steamed, so she called the busy clansmen to eat.

Su Ying hurriedly came out with a basin of water.

One of the clansmen said, "I have long smelled the fragrance of noodles and rice. ”

"yes, I smell it too."

Su Changle and a few people went down to the roof to wash their hands.

The sun was just right today, so Su Rui and Su Ying took out the table in the hall and placed it in the courtyard.

There were not enough dishes and chopsticks at home, so Aunt Hua took Su Qin home to get them.

"Chenyuan, you go home and call Qiao'er and your younger siblings over for dinner." Su Rui saw that Qiao'er hadn't come back yet, so she asked Su Chen to run away.

Su Chenyuan shook the water droplets in his hand and said, "Sister Rui, I'll go now." ”

After a while, Su Rui took four buns and a bowl of rice porridge for each of her uncles.

"Oh, there's oil."

"And eggs."

"Oh, it smells so good."

"This oil is so good, it's oil when you take a bite."

When Aunt Hua heard the compliments of her relatives, she said, "Then you have to repair it well, and there are delicious things to eat at night, including braised pork and pig's trotters." ”

"Oops, braised pork? This year's year is not good, the last time I ate meat was last year's New Year. ”

"Who isn't?"

Two unknown clan uncles said in surprise next to them.

The girl is still more reserved and eats slowly. A few of the boys were already gobbling it up.

In the afternoon, everyone worked harder.

A few small ones didn't want to go out and play, so they watched the chickens and rabbits in the backyard.

Suddenly, Wan'er ran over and dragged Su Rui to the backyard, "Sister, sister, my chicks have laid eggs." Hurry up and take a look. ”

Aunt Hua smiled and said, "You go and take a look, let's get it here." ”

Su Rui smiled apologetically and followed Su Wan to the backyard.

I saw that the six chickens in the house, and the four hens all laid eggs, and they were clucking in circles all over the ground...

Su Rui hurriedly picked up the eggs, and heard that the hen that laid the eggs for the first time would eat the eggs because of panic.

"The hen lays eggs, which is Wan'er's credit. Is it okay to leave these four eggs to Wan'er? ”

Su Wan thought for a while, "Sister, let's cook egg drop soup at night." That way everyone can drink a bowl. ”

Su Rui looked at Su Wan with great appreciation, although she was delicious, she was never stingy, and she could generously share her food with her brother and sister every time.

"We Wan'er are so sensible."

Su Rui looked at the little rabbit and found that the female rabbit had a big belly, so she picked it up and looked at it.

Su Rui said in surprise, "The mother rabbit is pregnant with a baby"

"Sister, is there a rabbit soon?" Su Wan was curious.

Su Rui put it down carefully, "Yes, this is all pregnant, it is estimated that there will be a baby rabbit at the end of the month or the beginning of next month." ”

"Wan'er, you have to take care of the rabbit."

Su Wan nodded immediately.

Su Min said hesitantly, "Sister Rui'er, can you give me a rabbit then." ”

"Sister Rui'er, I want one too." Su Qin also spoke.

Su Rui looked at the two of them and said, "This is raised by Wan'er, so you have to ask her if she agrees." ”

"Sister Wan'er, we'll take good care of the rabbit." Su Qin and Su Min looked at Su Wan.

Su Wan waved her hand, "No problem, when the little rabbit is born, you can come and pick it." ”

Seeing the three of them happily together, discussing the little bunny.

Su Rui turned around and returned to the front yard and explained to Su Ying and Su Chenrui: "Tomorrow, build a nest in the tool room, it is best to build the nest tightly, leave an opening to enter and exit, and the pad inside is thicker, so as to give the female rabbit some sense of security, so as not to find that it is unsafe after the female rabbit gives birth to the rabbit and eat the rabbit." ”

"Sister Rui, I'll help you tomorrow. My grandmother had rabbits in her family, and I knew how to build a nest for a female rabbit that was about to give birth. Su Chenjie took the initiative to ask.

Seeing this, Aunt Hua also replied, "Let Chenjie take it, this rabbit is going to be old in a nest, if you don't separate the male rabbits, the female rabbits can conceive seven or eight babies a year." ”

"My mother's family has been raising it before this year. It's not because of drought that there is no grass to feed and there is no feeding. Even if you can't sell it for money, it's okay to eat meat, and the fur is made of nitrate, and you can also make clothes and hats. ”

"But I don't know how to be a nittyr." Su Rui was worried.

Lin Shi said disapprerovingly, "What is this?" Your Uncle Chang Ying is the best at nitrate, and he used to work in a fur shop in the county seat, specializing in nitrate. ”

"That's good, then it's going to trouble Uncle Chang Ying."

Before dinner was ready, the roof was repaired. In the afternoon, Chen Yuan, Chen Jie and Chen Wei went home and moved tables and chairs.

Everyone gathered around the table and chairs, and the food was very satisfying...

As she was leaving, Su Rui brought an apple and pear to each of them.

Lying on the kang at night, Su Rui lamented that she "feels more and more like being an eldest sister..."
