Chapter 22: Two more relatives
"Is my sister going to keep me for a long time?" Su Ran asked what was in her heart, she was just trying to teach those shrews a lesson in the name at first. I didn't think much about it at the time.
Zhao Huarong paused with the hand holding the needle and thread, raised his head and looked at Su Ran with a smile, "Aren't you my younger brother?" Don't you want to stay? ”
Su Ran felt that his face was a little hot, and "I ......" was interrupted by a voice behind him as soon as he said the word "I".
"Uncle, are you leaving?" He Jingfeng didn't know when he came over, and just heard Zhao Huarong's words.
At this time, she was looking at her with tears on her face, like a little daughter-in-law who was about to be abandoned.
He Jingfeng really likes this uncle, since he fell from the sky yesterday and beat away the bad guys who bullied him and his mother, he is the hero in his heart, and he doesn't want his uncle to leave.
Su Ran looked at the little man who didn't know when he was standing behind her, she blinked, didn't he play with Da Hei just now? When did you come over?
Turning his head to look at Zhao Huarong, he took out twenty-five taels of silver from his arms, "Since my sister has recognized me as a younger brother, then accept the silver as a family." ”
Zhao Huarong frowned and did not answer.
"If my sister doesn't accept it, she doesn't want me to stay." She was not too embarrassed to stay and eat white food, Su Ran looked at He Jingfeng after speaking, and her face was not an expression that I didn't want to stay.
"Mother, you can take it! I want my uncle to stay. The villain looked at Zhao Huarong pleadingly with a pair of clear ink eyes.
Zhao Huarong hesitated for a while, and rolled his eyes at Su Ran, "Then I'll take it first, I can still afford to raise a younger brother." ”
"It's not to keep it, the silver is to be used," Su Ran finished speaking, He Jingfeng's little head on the first floor, the corners of his mouth hooked, "What's more, my nephew should also go to school." ”
The villain took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around Su Ran's waist, tilted his head and smiled happily, and echoed: "My uncle is right. ”
Su Ran lowered his head and smiled at his cheap nephew, but said in his heart: Little nephew, I am an aunt, not an uncle.
She's still young, and people can't tell she's a woman when she dresses up as a man. At most, others will think that this boy is better looking than a girl.
Su Ran didn't want to wear women's clothes again, compared to being a girl, it was more convenient to be a boy.
What's more, now that she is also a member of this family, it is better to have her as a "man" in the family, at least the previous family did not dare to blatantly bully Zhao Huarong.
In addition to the fact that they bullied Zhao Huarong because He Chi, who had no news, was not at home, another reason was that they all thought that Zhao Huarong was a person without a mother's family, and no one supported her.
Yesterday, she didn't beat people indiscriminately, it hurt and didn't leave obvious scars.
Zhao Huarong had no family before, and he was always looked down upon by some people in the village. Now they all know that Su Ran is her younger brother, and if they want to bully her, they have to weigh it.
Zhao Huarong didn't twist it, and took the silver, "Then tomorrow I will go to the town to buy a piece of cloth and make clothes for you, you will wear a little smaller." ”
The clothes Su Ran is wearing now are still the same as she wore before, and they have been sewn and mended by Li Hehua, she smiled, "Okay." ”
"I'll go too! Haven't been to this town yet! "If you want to live here in the future, Su Ran feels that it is better to be familiar with the environment here.
"I'll go, I'll go too......" The little man next to him was unwilling to pull down, and he hurriedly spoke.
"At home!"
A voice interrupted the conversation, and all three looked out of the courtyard at the same time.
I saw that on the edge of the fence, Li Lotus and her daughter-in-law Cuiniang looked here with a smile on their faces.
Su Ran walked over and opened the wooden door and smiled, "How can Aunt Lin and Qingsong Niang have time to come over." With that, he invited them in.
Both of them were holding things in their hands, and after listening to Su Ran's words, Li Lotus said very familiarly: "Let's just come and see, I didn't expect that Su Gongzi is Jing Fengniang's younger brother, and I was happy to see the fate of the Zhu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law yesterday." ”
Cui Niang took a step behind, with a smile on her face, looking at Su Ran with kindness in her eyes.
"My mother and I brought something over, Su Gongzi don't dislike it, you saved Song'er, and we don't know how to repay you."
Zhao Huarong put down the embroidery work in his hand, and was a little surprised to listen to Cui Niang's words. But he didn't say anything, and hurriedly took out two stools and came out for the two of them to sit on.
"It's all fate, if it weren't for my aunt to stay with me, I wouldn't have been able to find my sister, it should be that I thank you."
Su Ran's words were in the hearts of the two of them, it was because he saved Qingsong that he stayed in their house, and then found his sister.
The two waved their hands one after another.
Although the two wondered why the sister and brother had one surname Zhao and the other surnamed Su, they didn't ask.
Su Ran chatted with them for a while, and went back to the house with Jing Feng, one practicing big characters and the other reading a book.
Outside the house, Zhao Huarong talked with Li Hehua's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from time to time.
**
The afternoon passed quickly, Su Ran walked out of the house, Li Hehua's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't know when they would go back, only Zhao Huarong sat under the eaves and sat embroidery, and the embroidered handkerchief was no longer the orchid embroidered before.
Su Ran sat down and couldn't help but marvel at Zhao Huarong's flying needles and threads embroidering colors on the white embroidered handkerchief little by little.
Zhao Huarong raised his eyes and said gently, "Are you hungry?" The voice was soft, and her gentle and virtuous appearance made Su Ran feel that she must be well-educated.
Su Ran shook his head and spoke, "Does my sister make a living by doing embroidery?" ”
Zhao Huarong nodded, "There is no land at home," and he seemed a little embarrassed to say this, "I don't know how to farm, your brother-in-law ...... him."
Zhao Huarong didn't continue, his eyes filled with longing.
"Uncle, what are you talking about?" He Jingfeng's voice made Zhao Huarong put away his emotions and return to his previous gentleness and tranquility.
She smiled toothlessly, touched her son's head, "Mother went to prepare dinner," and then looked at Su Ran, "Is there anything you want to eat?" ”
Su Ran smiled, "Then I'll go and help." ”
Not to be outdone, He Jingfeng said, "I can burn the fire." ”
"Hehe......"
"My nephew is so well-behaved, so good, he can help my mother light the fire." Su Ran praised.
The little man looked confused, "What is Mom?" ”
Uh, "That's what it means to be a mother!" Su Ran touched his nose and explained.
"Nephew, let's go, let's go pick beans."
Su Ran diverted the topic, lest the little kid continue to ask.
"Yes, uncle." The little guy followed in a hurry.
Zhao Huarong's house is from a wooden tile suite, with a small open space in front of the house, and a row of beans planted on the fence on the left.
The space behind the house is much larger, a thatched house was built, a piece of land was opened, and some vegetables were planted.
Su Ran had picked flowers before, but this was the first time he had picked vegetables.
