Chapter 156: This grain will have to be returned next year
Su Mi and his family washed their clothes by the river and went home together. Zhao Laosan held the wooden basin, and Su Mi held a big belly and followed behind his man.
Today, the sun is better, and this millet has dried up for a day. At night, Li Daniu came back in the dark, and saw that Su Mi and his family had already rested, knocked on the door and called Zhao Laosan: "Your mother-in-law tripped when she was harvesting grain in the field, and now she is in pain, and she can't move while lying at home, you better go and take a look!" ”
"And what about now?" Zhao Laosan was stunned, put on the gown on his body, and was ready to rush to Sujia Village to have a look now.
"You don't have to worry, your mother-in-law is being served, you can go and see it tomorrow!"
"Could it be that Su Binghuai has figured it out?"
Li Daniu touched his head, "Didn't the eldest brother marry a new woman recently, this woman is different from the previous sister-in-law, she may have done it, and the family takes good care of her inside and out, the key is that my eldest brother is still well cleaned up by him!" ”
Hearing Li Daniu say this, Zhao Laosan's hanging heart fell, closed the door and went to the bedroom. What Li Daniu said just now, Su Mi vaguely heard some of it.
"Husband, do you think my mother is really okay?"
Lowering his eyes, Su Mi has a green silk as soft as a cloud, draped over his shoulders, unlike in the daytime, combing the hair of his little daughter-in-law, under the oil lamp, the white cheeks are delicate and magnolia-like, this skin is better than snow, like a lychee that has been peeled off.
Zhao Laosan sat on the bed, couldn't help but reach out to support her cheek, and pursed her soft peach lips with thin lips: "Lady is relieved, Li Daniu said that Wang Luoxia has done everything in the house very much, and Su Binghuai also listens to her, and now he is harvesting grain in the field every day!" ”
"Really?"
Zhao Laosan saw that she was skeptical, and stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms: "The lady doesn't believe your brother and Li Daniu, don't you still believe me?" When we left, we also saw that this Wang Luoxia had packed up Su Binghuai well! ”
After thinking about it, it seems like this. Su Mi lay down with peace of mind, curled up sideways in the crook of the man's arm, and fell asleep.
The two of them were going to go back to their parents' house in the morning to have a look, but they got up the next day.
Su Mi went to the stove room to make a simple breakfast, and Zhao Laosan packed several sacks of millet and put them on the cart, ready to take them to his mother-in-law's house.
After filling these four or five sacks, there is still a lot of millet left in my own family, and the two of them can't eat it all this year.
After breakfast, Su Mi only followed, the man was shirtless, a pair of big hands pinched the handle of the cart, and steadily pushed the grain to Sujia Village.
These four or five sacks of millet were still heavy, and Zhao Laosan began to sweat all over his body after a while. Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his dark cheeks and firm chest, and down to the pants around his waist.
Su Mi followed behind, and when he saw the man working so hard, he couldn't bear it, and his heart ached: "Husband, why don't we go to the market and hire a carriage, so that you can save a little effort!" ”
The man stopped and wiped the beads of sweat on his cheeks, and Su Mi hurriedly handed over the water: "Husband, hire a carriage!" ”
Seeing that her eyes were full of distress, the man's heart softened, and he reached out and touched her head: "Lady is relieved, I can still deal with this little thing!" ”
Zhao Laosan rested for a while, then pushed the cart again and walked towards Sujia Village. It's not very heavy for him. He was worried that his little lady, with a big belly, still walked more than ten miles, and his steps were slower.
"Lady, if you feel tired, just sit on the cart, and I'll push you away!" After walking another three or four miles, Zhao Laosan saw that Su Mi's cheeks were flushed and the tip of her nose was stained with beads of sweat, worried that she was too tired.
Su Mi shook his head: "Husband, you go your own." These four or five sacks of millet can be pushed so far in a cart, this is the first time I have seen it! ”
Zhao Laosan stopped, hugged his little lady, and sat at the handle of the cart: "Lady, this cart is labor-saving, and I don't carry it myself!" ”
Seeing that this cart was integrated with his own man, in his hand, pushing these four or five sacks of grain, as light as pushing an empty cart.
When the two arrived at Sujia Village, it was already noon. Entering the door, Wang Luoxia and Su Binghuai were returning from the field. This Su Binghuai was carrying a half-back basket of grain, so tired that he seemed to be about to lose his breath.
"Brother-in-law! You are here, and there is still grain in the field that has not been recovered, so go and help take it back! Su Binghuai sat on the ground all of a sudden, and when he saw his son-in-law, who was as powerful as an ox, it was like seeing a savior.
Zhao Laosan saw that there were some scattered grains in this dam, which were only a sack together, and took Su Binghuai's back basket: "Su Binghuai, did you take back all this grain?" ”
Su Binghuai simply lay on the ground, gasping for breath: "Your sister-in-law, you have to go down to the sky to harvest rice, I said to spend money to hire someone to harvest rice, she said that this little grain still costs money to harvest, and she wants to laugh off her big teeth!" ”
"It's time for you to work in the fields by yourself, after all, the days after this are over, there are still long days!" Zhao Laosan pushed the grain on the cart in his hand to the hall.
Su Binghuai saw this cart full of grain, stood up and looked at Wang Luoxia: "Luoxia, let's not accept this grain, brother-in-law, the grain sent over on this cart is enough for our family to eat this year!" It's too hard to harvest the grain! ”
Wang Luoxia put down the basket and twisted Su Binghuai's ears when she entered the door: "You lazy bones, the millet that my brother-in-law transported, let's clearly use the account book to write down, tomorrow spring to plant some seedlings, these will be returned in the autumn!" ”
"What? The things that our brother-in-law brought are all filial piety to my mother and ours, and the things that are filial to our elders, I have never heard of them, and I still have to pay them back? Su Binghuai was not convinced, grabbed Wang Luoxia's hand, and refused to let go.
The strength in Wang Luoxia's hand was heavier, "We can not pay it back for the filial piety of my mother, but you are a brother, don't send grain to your sister, and you want your sister's grain, aren't you ashamed?" ”
"It hurts! Falling sunset...... You...... You let go! Su Binghuai was held by Wang Luoxia's ear, and it hurt a lot.
"Then next year, we will return three bags of millet to my brother-in-law, can you agree?" Wang Luoxia yelled at his ear.
"I ...... I agree, I agree! ”
After Su Binghuai confessed, this Wang Luoxia let go of him, only to see that his left ear was red, and there were still some tears in his eyes, and these tears were about to hurt out.
"Sister Luoxia, our family can't finish this millet anyway, it's just right for you and your mother to eat it back, you don't have to pay it back!" Su Mi pulled Wang Luoxia and said with a smile.
Wang Luoxia stretched out her hand and patted Su Mi's hand, wiping the beads of sweat on her cheeks: "Sister Mi'er, after living for a long time, I still have to take care of the men in the family, and I don't go to the field or the field, is it possible that I have raised an ancestor?" ”
This Su Binghuai hasn't done farm work for a few days, and seeing that his soul has been pumped, Su Mi is also a little distressed in his heart: "Sister Luoxia, my brother hasn't done heavy work, I have to take my time in this matter!" ”
"I said Sister Mi'er, you are the benevolence of a woman, your man is like a cow all day, you don't feel distressed, your brother carries half a basket of grain, you are very heartbroken, what kind of logic is this!"
When Su Mi heard it, it seemed to be this reason, but she really disagreed with the matter of returning their millet next autumn: "If there is something in our family in the future, you have more of this millet, take the same!" ”
"Your brother has agreed to this, and in the future, this thing can only be borrowed from your house, and cannot be given for nothing!"
Although Zhao Laosan has only just known Wang Luoxia, he has a thorough understanding of her temperament, and pulls his little lady: "Then write it down, and return our Zhao family's two pockets next autumn!" ”
"Husband! If my mother knows about it, she will be chilled! ”
"Lady, listen to me, Su Binghuai will not be a person until next autumn!" If this Wang Luoxia can continue to be like this, Zhao Laosan estimates that next year he will be like a man, taking care of all the work at home.
Now Su Binghuai not only has to go down to the field every day to harvest grain, but also has to cook in the stove room after returning home. If this meal is not up to the appetite, Wang Luoxia will scold again.
Su's mother also took care of her son, and always felt that Wang Luoxia was too fierce, but if she interceded, Su Binghuai would do more work. Therefore, Su Mu also turned a blind eye.
Standing in the house and talking for a long time, Su Mi remembered that she came to see her mother: "Sister Luoxia, why did your mother fall?" ”
"It's not your brother who is not angry, when he was carrying the grain, he tripped over his mother before he got up!"
Su Mijing went to Su's mother's room, and as soon as Su's mother saw her daughter, she became energetic: "Mi'er, your body is getting heavier and heavier day by day, why are you still here?" ”
Su Mi saw the mother lying on the bed, only half a month has not been seen, this face is sallow, and the hands of the hands have also been scratched by the seedling leaves, and there are many mottled scars. I couldn't help but feel distressed, and I pulled her tears and flowed down without fighting: "Mother, the grain in this house, you let us harvest it, what kind of field do you have at your age?" ”
Seeing her daughter wiping her tears, Su's mother's eyes also moistened: "Mi'er, I know that Luoxia wants your brother to stand up to the sky like a man, but this is not a matter of time after all." When the grain was harvested, I went down to the field. ”
"How is my mother doing now?" Su Mi sobbed, her voice was very small!
"Luoxia is dedicated, serving every day, just like my mother. This leg also let Zhou Langzhong come to take a look, just rest for ten days and half a month! Su Mu wiped her tears, this leg still hurts a lot, after all, she is old, and this fall is like taking half her life.
Su Mi washed her nose, it was still a little hot this day, and she changed a pair of slightly thinner mattresses for Su's mother: "Mother, this Luoxia sister is the daughter-in-law of our Su family!" ”
