Su's mother was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and she also saw that when her son-in-law entered the door, he was carrying a washed pheasant in his hand.

"Isn't this pheasant on the chopping board?"

"Aunt Su, there is nothing on this chopping board, where is there any wild pheasant?" Li Daniu was in a hurry, this Su mother said that her son-in-law brought a pheasant, and it must have brought a pheasant.

Li Daniu was an anxious man, seeing that the chopping board was empty, and there was no stove room, he paced out the door to see that the back door of the Su family was open.

"Someone must have taken advantage of the fact that there was no one in the house to take this pheasant away!" Li Daniu took off his shoes and ran barefoot on the ridge. After running out a few dozen steps away, I saw a series of footprints of different shades on the ridge.

These footprints are not the footprints of a village doll, nor the footprints of women and children, but the footprints of a man who has never done any farm work. Looking at these footprints, Li Daniu had Pu'er in his heart, and eighty percent of them were the people by the river who had a dead wife named Su Cunhong.

When Li Daniu was fishing in the river these days, he met with him, and even went to his house to pick up the dustpan and nail rake. This man has lived with the old mother of the family since he killed his wife, and he has no doll or anything, the family is not very poor, and his life is quite passable, but the matchmaker in this village is unlucky, so he never came to his family to talk to the matchmaker.

After chasing all the way, he arrived at the river, Li Daniu had never done farm work in the field on weekdays, and this little road made him out of breath and tired. Half-squatting, one hand supporting his thighs. I was about to rest for a while and then go to Su Cunhong's house, when I saw Su Cunhong's shadow under a locust tree in the blink of an eye.

This Su Cunhong happened to be carrying the pheasant brought by Zhao Laosan in his hand, Zhao Laosan used it to split it in half, and this Su Cunhong was carrying half of it in one hand and was walking towards the house.

"Su Cunhong, you stop me!" When Li Daniu saw that it was really him who stole the wild pheasant of the Su family, he instantly became energetic, straightened his waist, and chased after him.

How did Su Cunhong know that he went to get a pheasant from the back door of Su's house, and someone chased him out. Hearing Li Daniu shouting, he ran away.

Li Daniu is in a hurry, and this chase is lifeless. Whether it was a thorny path or a ploughed paddy field, they all chased after it without scruples.

This Su Cun Hong was in a hurry, in front of him was his home, on the left was a forest, and on the right was the lotus pond in Sujia Village. In a hurry, he jumped into the lotus pond.

Li Da Niu has been fishing in the water all year round, and this water nature naturally has nothing to say, and he also jumped into the water with a bang. In the water, Li Daniu also let Su Su Cunhong bully, and after a few strokes, he swam over and grabbed the clothes on the back of his neck: "You dare to steal to Su's house, you don't steal from the next place!" Fat guts! ”

"Li Daniu, you are not from the Su family, this is the Su family's business, what does it have to do with you?" Su Cunhong was chased with a crying face, holding the pheasant with both hands, and struggling desperately in the river.

"This Su Binghuai is my brother who worships his son, the Su family is in trouble, so naturally I have my business!" After Li Daniu finished speaking, he grabbed his hand, snatched the two halves of the pheasant, and quickly swam to the shore, letting the Su Cunhong flutter and struggle in the river.

Sitting on the river ridge and breathing a sigh of relief, he found that this Su Cun Hong was struggling farther and farther, and he was stunned and shouted loudly: "You bastard, don't tell me, you live in this lotus pond, in fact, you don't know how to water?" ”

"Quick...... Help me...... Help me! ”

Seeing this, Li Daniu hurriedly put the two halves of the pheasant he was carrying on the ridge of the river, and without saying a word, he pounced and jumped into the river again.

When he brought this Su Cunhong up to the river, this Sucunhong had already fainted, and Li Daniu put him on the smooth river, seeing that the sun was in full bloom, he was afraid that he would be angry. I had to carry him on my back and carry the pheasants to his house.

This Su Cunhong's house is on the top of the lotus pond, a few steps away. But Li Daniu carried the water-soaked person on his back, as if he was being pressed by a thousand catties of boulders, and walked extremely slowly. Several times, I was unsteady on my feet, and I almost fell into the river again.

When he arrived at his house, pushed open the door, and threw him on the ground of the house, Li Daniu prepared to carry the pheasant back to Su's house. Suddenly heard a groan in the room, Li Daniu followed the sound to the inner room to take a look, a septuagenarian, Rao was rolling over and over on the bed because of illness.

My heart softened suddenly, this Su Cun Hong came to Su's house to steal pheasants, and I guess I also wanted to make up for my mother's body. With both hands tightened, he went to Su Cunhong's stove room, left half of the pheasant to him, and rushed back to Su's house.

When he arrived at Su's house, Su's mother was waiting at the back door, and saw him carrying half a pheasant in his hand, "What about the other half?" ”

"When I was crossing the river, my hand slipped and I accidentally fell into the river to feed the fish. After two days, I will go to the mountains and forests at night and catch a few for Aunt Su! Li Daniu immediately laughed, looking like a ruffian.

"It's okay if people are fine, this pheasant is not important!" When Su Mu saw that he was wet, her heart softened and she felt distressed. Although this Li Daniu is in the eyes of these people in Zhaojia Village, he is a scoundrel who does not do his job all day long, but in the eyes of Su's mother, he is a person who values love and righteousness, and after the death of this Gu Chunzhi, he is even more like his own son, busy at home every day. There was no rice at home, so he went to the river to fish for three meals a day to cook and eat.

"Aunt Su, I have been soaking in the river all year round, and my clothes and pants will dry in a while!" This year, except for winter, Li Daniu's clothes were soaked by the river at other times. He didn't grow any crops, he didn't have any fields, and he lived almost entirely on the fish in the river.

Mother Su went to the house, found Su Binghuai's clothes, and handed them to Li Daniu to change into: "This soaked clothes are fine now, and when you get older, you will feel pain all over your body!" ”

Over the years, except when he was in Zhaojia Village, Luo Qinghe occasionally cared about his food and clothing, and this was the first time, and some people outside were afraid that he would be soaked. I was stunned, and my eyes were a little sour.

After changing his clothes, he saw that Zhao Laosan was still turning the ground on the hillside, so he went to the stove room, cleaned the half of the pheasant, put it on the cutting board randomly, cut it into pieces with a kitchen knife, and stewed it with dried bamboo shoots.

It's already past noon, it's afternoon, and the pheasants in this pot have already been stewed. But this Zhao Laosan had no intention of coming back for lunch, and was still turning over the ground on this hillside. Li Da Niu squatted on the threshold of the Su family and looked at Zhao Laosan on the mountain, "Aunt Su family, why did you say that this son-in-law of your family is like a cow, and he doesn't feel tired!" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, this son-in-law is probably still angry with me!" Su's mother was also worried that if her son-in-law didn't come back to eat, even if they were hungry, they wouldn't have the heart to eat.

"It's the sun is in full bloom, it's so hot outside, you see your son-in-law shirtless, tanned, if it were me, I would have died in the ground!" Li Daniu shook his head, admiring Zhao Laosan on the mountain.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Su's mother is also soft-hearted, although she can't wipe her face, but she sees her son-in-law working so hard to help her family turn over the ground. Where did he care about so much, he drank half a bowl of soup, then filled some food and water in a basket and carried it to the opposite mountain.

When he arrived at the mountain, Zhao Laosan saw that his mother-in-law was carrying food for him, and put down the hoe in his hand, "Mother, it's hot, you go back, I'll come back to eat after turning over this little land!" ”

"Son-in-law, are you still angry with me? I also figured out about this doll, instead of letting her follow us to eat bran vegetables in the future, it is better to be the eldest lady in the Gu family! Su Mu finally wiped her face and said it.

Zhao Laosan is the one who cares about these little things, he knows this reason, and his mother-in-law will figure it out one day sooner or later.

"I want to finish all these fields as soon as possible, so that I can rush back a little earlier, and I am afraid that Mi'er will be scared at home alone at night!" Zhao Laosan was concerned about the little lady at home, and he wished to accompany her all the time, lest she feel uneasy.

Seeing that her son-in-law didn't care about it, Su's mother was relieved, and looked at the evenly turned soil with a smile: "Our family has such a capable son-in-law who knows cold and hot, it's really a blessing!" ”

Zhao Laosan ate two bites, and then asked his mother-in-law to go home quickly. He wanted to dig up the remaining piece of soil as soon as possible, and then rush back to Zhaojia Village. After all, I went out early this morning, and I haven't gone back yet, worrying that my little lady won't be able to eat lunch well, so the movements in my hands are a little faster.

This Zhao Laosan is a good hand at going to the field, if it is an ordinary man, even if it is two people to work, these three pieces of soil will take two days to turn. He came at noon, and it wasn't evening when he finished digging.

Su Mu saw that he didn't drink a sip of water after turning over the ground, so she rushed to Zhaojia Village, and all her anger was gone. I took some dry food and told my son-in-law to eat when he was hungry on the road. Her daughter must be taken care of well, she is small, and she is pregnant, so she has to suffer some hardships.

Zhao Laosan responded in a muffled voice, and rushed back to Zhaojia Village. As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Su Binghuai coming back. The man disappeared for about ten days, and when his wife died, he did not come back to see him, leaving behind his widowed mother and his half-dead doll.

Zhao Laosan didn't want to deal with him, so the two of them went their separate ways as if they didn't see each other.

This autumn, it will get dark earlier. Zhao Laosan pushed the cart, walking like flying under his feet, and soon he was left behind for several miles. Thinking of the white little lady at home, with a pair of brown eyes and gentle and delicate cheeks, my heart softened.

Last night, the gentle clouds and rain with the little lady made him so satisfied.
