Chapter 52: Doll Luo'er
Because he had to hurry, Zhao Laosan did not stay at his mother-in-law's house longer. When he left, he saw Su Binghuai in the house, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he gave Su Mu some broken silver.
"Mother, now this family is supported by you inside and out, my sister-in-law is pregnant, and my brother refuses to work in the field, you take the money!" Although Zhao Laosan's cheeks were calm, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried, but his voice was extremely gentle.
Su's mother was about to shirk it, but Zhao Laosan's big rough hand held her down tightly: "Mother, Mi'er is worried about things at home, we are far away and can't come every day, so it's better to give more money and Mi'er." ”
Seeing that her son-in-law was looking for a child one by one, and she still took such a fancy to herself, Su's mother was indescribably grateful in her heart, and her eyes were full of tears: "I have received my son-in-law's wishes, but don't give money to that loser!" ”
At the entrance of the village, after Zhao Laosan said goodbye to his mother-in-law, he hurriedly walked to his house with a cart.
Along the way, the people of Sujia Village saw it. are all hot-eyed, this Su family has no master, and they are still looking for such a strong and capable son-in-law.
This car of bricks is still a little heavy, Zhao Laosan walked all the way to the smooth road, and when he returned to Zhaojia Village, it was already sunset.
Su Mi made clothes at the threshold of the hall, and this dress was almost done, only the needle was collected at the neckline, and the sewing of two Ruyi buckles was completed.
When he raised his eyes and saw that his man was back, he hurriedly put down the needle and thread in hand, went to the yard to fetch a basin of water, and brought a Jinpa to let the man wash his face. I went to the stove room again, brought a bowl of water, the water was boiled, and the jam was boiled, and now it was just cooled, and I drank a bowl, and my heart was refreshing and happy.
Fortunately, it was dark late this summer, Zhao Laosan hurriedly took off his upper gown and unloaded the car of bricks: "Lady, go to the hall, there is a lot of dust in this stove room!" ”
I also count on the stove to be repaired and cook the night meal. Zhao Laosan moved very quickly, using water and some sticky. The thick yellow mud began to lay bricks.
Su Mi saw that she couldn't help much, and she had prepared the dishes for dinner, so she went to the hall to get a wire frame and finished the small clothes that had just been unfinished.
This garment has some cotton added to it, and it is worn in winter, and it is very soft and comfortable to the touch. The style of this dress is made according to the style of those little dolls in the capital, and it looks very good.
After making the clothes, I packed up the needles and scissors in the wireframe, wrapped the clothes in brocade cloth, and when the two days were empty, I sent them to Luo Qing's house.
Seeing that the sky was slowly darkening, white smoke was emitting from the chimneys of the surrounding concubines, and it was time to cook dinner. Su Mi went to the stove room, the man had already cleaned up the stove room, and the broken place was also filled with bricks.
"The husband is capable, and with the husband here, I don't have to worry about anything." Su Mi saw that the stove had been set up, and some firewood had been piled up in front of the stove, so he washed it and prepared to start cooking.
"Don't be so careless in the future, it's okay to burn the house, what if you hurt someone?" Zhao Laosan himself sighed, I don't know when it started, he cares so much about his little lady.
After eating dinner, I knew that the man was very tired. Not to mention pushing a cart of bricks back from Sujia Village, even if you don't take anything, you will be tired when you come back like this.
After boiling the water, he poured it into a wooden basin and mixed some cold water, and tested the temperature of the water with his hands, and saw that it was neither lukewarm nor hot, so that the man took off his clothes and soaked in it.
A pair of small hands pressed the man's sturdy shoulders and poured hot water, and the man felt a lot more comfortable on his sore shoulders. With his eyes closed, he lay down and let his little lady rub herself.
After taking a shower, go to the bedroom and rest. Su Mi soaked the man's changed clothes in a bucket, the clothes and pants were stained with ashes on the bricks, if they were not soaked, they would be washed raw tomorrow, and they would definitely leave some marks that could not be washed off.
When the woman went to the bunk, the man was already asleep, took off his coarse cloth clothes, only wore a thin inner liner, got into the quilt, curled up in the man's arms, the familiar temperature swept through the body, and the sound of even breathing lingered in his ears.
The next morning, when the man was still asleep, Su Mi got up. The weather is hot these days, and there is no grinding tofu to sell at home. Thinking that it was time to plant the seedlings in the paddy field, the man's favorite noodles cooked for breakfast, and steamed a basket of steamed buns.
When the man got up, the noodles were just in the bowl, and he thought that he would eat lighter in the morning, so he didn't put the mushroom sauce, just made a stack of kimchi, and ate it with steamed buns.
After eating, the man went to the field to plant seedlings. Su Mi wanted to follow, but Zhao Laosan really felt sorry for his lady, and hurriedly stopped: "Lady, let's just have a paddy field, this seedling is still bought from another family, and there is not much work, you are waiting for me at home!" ”
"Husband, I can still do rice planting this summer, I'll go with you!" Su Mi hurriedly tied her apron and cleaned up the stove.
Standing at the door of the stove room, turning his head, he saw the white cheeks of his little lady in front of the stove, a pair of watery eyes were crystal clear, and his heart added a little pity: "The lady really feels sorry for me, so she cooks delicious food at home, and I just have a hot meal to eat when I come back." ”
The sun had risen outside, and it was red, and when you looked at it, you knew that it was a good day again.
knew that he couldn't resist a man, so he had to give up: "Whatever your husband wants to eat, I'll cook it at home!" ”
"The fish I bought that day is still raised in the well, and after a long time, I am afraid that the water in the well will not be clear, so I will go and kill it, and the lady will cook the fish at noon to eat!" Zhao Laosan was about to go out, but when he thought of this, he put down the frame in his hand and took the wooden bucket to the well in the yard to catch fish.
This grass carp is very fat, there are five or six catties, and after scooping it up, killing and washing, it is thrown into a basin and goes to the field.
Su Mi was fine at home, seeing that the pigweed was almost gone, she locked the door and prepared to go outside to cut some pigweed. In summer, there is a lot of rain in Zhaojia Village, the sun is sufficient, and the ridges are full of green grass.
After returning home, Su Mi first took out a wooden plank, put it in a dustpan, poured the pigweed out of the back basket, and took a knife to cut it into pieces.
After boiling hot water, he put the green pigweed in the bucket, thinking that the piglet was just growing his body, so he mixed some tofu dregs.
On this day, the piggs were reconciled with the pig food, and saw that the sun was shining on the steps. So he took the fish to the stove, cut it into small pieces with a knife, and marinated it in kimchi water.
I was about to sweep the dam in front of the courtyard, and as soon as I arrived at the dam, I saw that Luo Qinghe came over with a teenage girl. Although Luo Qinghe is a widow, she is quite gentle, and the last time the two of them fought together for the Liu family's affairs, this can be regarded as more familiar.
"The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, has this stove room been cleaned up?" Seeing that Su Mi was pickling fish, Luo Qinghe took the female doll, pushed open the courtyard door and came in.
"Fortunately, the fire is not big, nothing is burning, and everything has been cleaned up!" Su Mi wiped his hands on the apron around his waist, brought a stool, and asked this Luo Qinghe and this doll to sit together.
Although the doll has dark skin, it has very bright eyes, a small nose, and a lips as rosy as a chadanxia.
Seeing that it was a doll, he took some peach blossom cakes for her to eat. This doll is also informal, took the peach blossom cake in Su Mi's hand, and put it in his mouth to eat it in a big gulp.
"Auntie, what's the matter?"
"Where's your man?" Luo Qinghe looked around, but didn't see the shadow of the man.
"My man went down to the field to plant seedlings, and the seedlings in the fields of other people in this village have already been planted, so we only went today!" Su Mi also sat and talked together.
"It's such a girl, this girl doll is my niece, I'm going back to my parents' house these days, and there is no one at home, so I want to send her to you here and let you take care of it for a few days." Luo Qinghe was a little embarrassed.
Su Mi was simple-minded and didn't think about it, knowing that this widow had a difficult life, and everyone in the village usually helped her. It's just that the man in the family didn't come back, and she didn't want to respond: "That's it, when my man comes back, ask!" ”
"This woman's family asks the man what he does, my niece is very capable, isn't it just the rice planting at home? She is also a good hand, planting rice and grinding tofu is not a problem, but I have been away for several days, and I really don't worry that she is at home alone! After Luo Qinghe finished speaking, he gave the female doll a look.
"Sister, don't worry, I can do anything, I originally said that I could be at home alone, but my aunt wanted me to come to your house, saying that it was a female doll who was not safe at night." This female doll can also speak, this mouth is a sister, Su Mi naturally softened when she heard it.
"When will that auntie come back?"
"A village, you are still afraid that I will not be able to escape, you can rest assured that I will come back in a few days." After Luo Qinghe finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Luo'er, you have to be diligent yourself, I'll pick you up in a few days!" Luo Qinghe saw that Su Mi agreed, so he stood up and explained, and left.
Su Mi's temperament was already soft and glutinous, she was in a dilemma about this matter, and when she saw Luo Qinghe leaving like this, she had no choice but to accept this matter.
"Luo'er, don't stand, come in and sit in the house!" Su Mi smiled, this doll was as tall as her.
This Luo'er is also sensible, and took a stool and entered the door. Seeing that the house was cleaned up brightly, and there was no work to do, he tilted his head and looked at Su Mi: "Sister, why are you so good-looking?" ”
It was the first time that Su Mi was praised by this doll, and laughed: "Luo'er, who did you learn these nonsense from!" ”
Seeing that there was one more person in the family, Su Mi went to make the bed in the side room and spread the futon, fortunately, it was summer, it was not hot, and a thin mattress could be spent overnight.
"You just sleep here at night, there is a thatched house outside the house, and you don't have to worry about other things at home!" Su Mi only coaxed her as a doll, and took a lot of lactose and pastries out to entertain her.
When I arrived at the stove room, the fish had been marinated, and the fish could not be eaten, but now that there was one more person, Su Mi didn't want to treat others badly, after all, there was no one in trouble among the concubines. So he took out half of the fish, and prepared to fry half of it, and boil half of it.
