Early the next morning, the man had relatively light hands and feet, and after getting up, he put on his coat and tiptoed out of the bedroom. First, I went to the stove to cook the porridge, and then I went to the yard to feed the soaked beans to the grinding pan.

Zhao Laosan moved extremely fast, and in half an hour, these beans had already been grinded. White soy milk flows slowly into the barrel from the grooves on both sides of the grinding disc.

Seeing that the porridge in the pot had been cooked, Zhao Laosan took it out, brushed the pot clean, and poured the raw pulp in hand into the iron pot to boil. Seeing that her little lady likes to drink soy milk, she took out a bowl of tofu and kept it for her on the stove.

After Su Mi got up and cleaned up, he went to the stove room full of the fragrance of beans: "The husband gets up every day and the fifth watch, I feel distressed when I look at it, let's sleep more in the future!" ”

The man's eyes were deep, and he looked at his little lady, dressed in a dark coarse cloth robe, and the cloud-like green silk was pulled up in a wooden bun. If an ordinary rural woman wears this dress, it is an ordinary thing, but Su Mi is born fair-skinned and delicate, and this dress brings out her gentleness more and more.

"Drink the soy milk, eat some porridge, and we're good to go." The man withdrew his eyes and pressed the tofu neatly.

"Have you eaten it?" Su Mi had a pair of hands as white as lotus roots, holding soy milk and drinking it, and there were dots of soy milk juice around her peach lips, looking very delicate and cute.

"I've eaten it! Lady slow down, don't be in a hurry! Zhao Laosan saw that she looked like a little daughter-in-law between her bright eyes and plain teeth, and couldn't help but feel pity, for fear that she would choke on her eating fast.

After Su Mi finished eating, the sky was not completely bright, and it was gray with fish belly. Zhao Laosan has already loaded two large pieces of pressed tofu onto the board car, and today he is going to take the little lady to sell tofu, and he has specially prepared some dry food.

Zhao Laosan pushed the cart and walked in front, Su Mi followed, and the two of them went to the town unhurriedly.

Fortunately, Zhaojia Village is not far from the town, just a few miles away. Zhao Laosan does not have a special shop for selling tofu, so he only parks the cart next to the Furong pastry shop in the city center. This boss is easier to talk to, and Zhao Laosan will give him a piece of tofu that he can't sell on weekdays, do small business deals, and support each other.

On this day, Zhao Laosan, as usual, leaned the cart against the side of the Furong pastry shop. Su Mi saw that the man was preparing the oiled paper for wrapping tofu, so he opened the wooden block that pressed the tofu, and suddenly a fragrance of tofu wafted out.

"Sell tofu, sell tofu!" Su Mi actually learned from the woman shouting on the street, standing in front of the cart and shouting at the top of her throat. Zhao Laosan has been selling tofu for several years, and he has never shouted like this. Basically, the people who come to buy it are regulars. Seeing Su Mi's cute appearance, he couldn't help but smile.

After a while, a woman came with a doll to buy tofu, and Su Mi hurriedly cut a piece, weighed it, and wrapped it in oiled paper. The movements are skillful and neat, and she looks like a boss lady. Zhao Laosan stood aside and also greeted the guests. Seeing that her little lady pulled up her coarse cloth clothes, a pair of white hands were exposed, her cheeks were tightly straight, and the tip of her nose was oozing fine beads of sweat, and her heart was indescribably steady.

Men and women are not tired of working together, and they are not fake at all. Zhao Laosan saw that Su Mi was still handy, so he took a few pieces of tofu and sent them to some restaurants in the town, which were frequent customers of Zhao Laosan, and designated him to send tofu every day.

Maybe there is one more person to work today, and this tofu is sold out before noon. When Zhao Laosan came back after delivering the tofu, Su Mi had already wrapped the last piece of tofu and handed it to the owner of the hibiscus pastry shop next to him.

"Husband, our tofu has been sold out!" Su Mi's small and white hands cushioned the silver money in his hand, a peach lip grinned, two pear vortices one deep and one shallow, and his eyes were full of joy.

Originally, I wanted her to follow her to the town to play, but I was afraid that she would be bullied by the village women at home alone. I never thought that he would sell tofu. The man's heart was relieved and heartbroken, and he reached out and rubbed his soft cheeks, "The lady is really capable, I'll take you around the town and buy something by the way." ”

"Good!" Su Mi smiled, although she had lived in Sujia Village for more than a year and a half, her family was often short of food and clothing, and she had never come to hang out in this town.

After all, she was still young, Su Mi was holding the dry food prepared for her by Zhao Laosan, looking east and west with a pair of watery eyes, and touching the gadgets hanging on the stall from time to time.

"It's getting hotter and hotter every day, go buy some cloth and make clothes for the lady." Zhao Laosan saw a few emerald cloths hanging in the cloth workshop, thinking that his lady would look good in dress, so he took her hand and paced in.

"Husband, I already have several sets of clothes, so I will pick a piece of cloth for you to go back and make clothes for a few summers." Su Mi only thinks about his own man, Zhao Laosan only has two or three coarse cloth gowns, he went back to his parents' house a few days ago, and his mother made another one.

Zhao Laosan was about to stop him, but Su Mi had already picked up a piece of gray-white cloth and gestured on him. Seeing that her little lady's eyes were strict and very serious, she held her small hands and said gently: "That lady also picks some cloth she likes, and we will buy them together." ”

The two came out of the cloth workshop happily, and Zhao Laosan saw that it was not early, so he took Su Mi to the restaurant for dinner. He knew that Su Mi loved fish, so he ordered a sweet and sour fish and asked for two side dishes.

After eating, the two went home. This Zhao Laosan is in this town, and many shop owners know her, and she has never seen her bring a woman out, this is the first time. Besides, he is still such a handsome little lady, and these shop owners envy him for his good fortune.

It's a sunny day, but it's not very hot. Before he knew it, it was summer, and Su Mi saw that there were many bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest beside the road, which were crisp and raw, and they were very tender, so he put aside Zhao Laosan and rolled up his sleeves and pulled them up.

Seeing this, Zhao Laosan also put down the cart to help, these days the men and women in the village are busy farming, there are so many bamboo shoots, no one has come to pull them. Su Mi's movements were very quick, and after a while, he hugged a bundle with both hands and put it on the cart.

The man then also hugged a bundle over, and seeing that only some young shoots were still in the bamboo forest, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the woman took the man's arm and went back to the village together.

The ducklings in the yard quacked, Su Mi guessed that they were hungry, brought some millet from the house, and picked some frowning grass that was so tender that they could pinch out the water, and fed them in their hands.

The man took the hoe and was about to go down to the ground, but he saw the princess at the east end of the village walking towards his courtyard with a melancholy face. Su Mi recognized it, although she knew that she had charged a high price for buying her duckling, she also smiled and treated her gently: "Is there anything important about Mrs. Wang?" ”

"Zhao Laosan, although you are silent and don't have much contact with the people in the village, you can be regarded as an honest person, and you must not take care of your women today." Before the princess entered the courtyard, she pulled Zhao Laosan and cried as soon as she came up.

Zhao Laosan's eyebrows twisted, he looked at Su Mi, who was feeding the ducks, and stroked the princess: "What's wrong with my wife?" Today, she's just coming back from town. ”

"Your wife is hard-working, and she specializes in men. A few days ago, I came to my house to buy ducks, and my wife sold them to her, but I never thought that today my son would go to chop wood and be bitten by a snake. "This princess and her son depend on each other, the man died early, and the son is naturally her heart.

"Lady Wang, you are unreasonable to talk like this, my wife is pure-minded, and she is also in harmony with her concubine, what does your son have to do with my wife when he was bitten by a snake?" Zhao Laosan didn't open the courtyard door, just stood like this.

"Mrs. Wang, you better hurry up and invite a man from the town to take a look, I'm afraid it won't be delayed." Su Mi was not angry in his heart, he fed the duck and stood up unhurriedly, pacing behind the man.

Seeing the two of them talking like this, this Wang Po became even more angry, and even pushed the courtyard and came in by herself: "Zhao Laosan, I don't tell you a woman like a man, you are from our village, what should you do?" ”

Zhao Laosan's face was pale, his eyes were dark and dark, and his thin lips were slightly open to protect his wife: "It's not my wife who bit your son, if you mess around again, I'm not welcome!" ”

The princess cried louder and louder, but Su Mi was a little anxious, and felt aggrieved. Since marrying Zhao Laosan, she has treated the women and dolls in the village gently, and if she meets an old man in need of help on the road, she will try her best to help, but who would have thought that the people in this village would believe her sister-in-law's words, when she is the devil of the man.

"Everyone in the village avoids your woman, don't you Zhao Laosan know what the reason is? I kindly made a deal with her that day, and today I have also suffered retribution, if my son has any three long and two short, my old wife will not live. Wang Po said with a handful of snot and tears.

"Husband, why don't you give the princess some money and let her go back!" Su Mi's eyes were a little red, after all, she was also a village woman, and she believed more or less if she was a man with this fate.

"The lady didn't do anything, what are you afraid of!" Zhao Laosan's face sank, and his voice was a little cold. A big hand grabbed her shoulder, and stared at Wang Podao with cold eyes.

"Everyone, come and take a look, this is a bad thing to do to my son, and it's still quite unreasonable here." The princess simply sat down on the top of the ladder and cried out loudly.

Fortunately, the men and women of the family went to the ground, and no one came to see the excitement. The princess cried and shouted, and Zhao Laosan opened her own lady, went to the mill to scoop up clean water, and rinsed the Jinpa wrapped in tofu and the wooden box containing tofu.

Wang Po cried for a while, and saw that it didn't work, so she stood up and grabbed Zhao Laosan's strong arm: "If you don't take money to heal my son's leg today, I will break your woman's leg." ”

Su Mi washed the tender bamboo shoots picked back today by the well, and saw that Wang Po spoke so viciously, and her eyes were stunned.
