Chapter 18: Cleaning Up the Ruffians

The genius was numb, and the man had already gotten up. I went down to the ground. Yesterday afternoon, I turned over a field that was overgrown with weeds, and now I was just waiting for the corn seedlings to be planted.

This brother and sister-in-law of the Su family are lazy, and now Su Binghuai can't go down to the ground if she hurts her leg, and her sister-in-law Gu is even more pampered, so she won't come to the ground. Zhao Laosan thought about it, and turned out all the three plots of land next to the field, so that the family could have enough to eat by planting some vegetables and wheat.

When the rest of the family got up, it was already bright, and the clear sky was cloudless, as clear as a pool of clear water. Su Mi knew that his man had gone to the ground early in the morning, so he quickly pulled his loose green silk into a bun, and brought half a basin of water from the well and flushed his cheeks. Originally, a little face was a little red, but it became white after being washed by water, Rao is holding his hair in a bun, looking at a little bit of the charm of a little woman.

Seeing that Su's mother was preparing to make breakfast, Su Mi hurriedly went to the stove room: "Mother, the family is big. Small and small things are all tired by you alone, you take a break! ”

Knowing that his man loves to eat pasta, Su Mi divided the noodles and lard that he had made last night into agents, and then used a pair of white hands to tear them into pieces of noodles and cook them in the pot. When the pieces were transparent, he threw down a handful of crisp wild vegetables.

first scooped a bowl for Su's mother, then took out the basin and filled most of it, and put some chili peppers: "Mother, after you finish eating, ask your sister-in-law and brother to get up and eat, and I will send my husband to the ground to eat!" ”

The little lady carried the basket and walked neatly to her own field.

The fields are not far away, and the woman bypasses a few paddy fields, which is her own field. In the distance, he saw the sturdy back of his man, turning the ground with a hoe in his hand.

"Husband, take a break!" Su Mi paced to a stone slab next to the ground and placed the basket in his hand on it. Zhao Laosan saw that his little lady was sending breakfast, so he stopped what he was doing and paced over: "Lady doesn't have to work so hard, I ate a lot last night, breakfast and lunch together, and it doesn't matter." ”

"Wipe your sweat!" The woman pinched the white coarse cloth brocade handkerchief in the basket in her hand, and tried her man's cheeks, beads of sweat rolling down and sliding to her firm chest. He took out the kettle again, let the man drink some water, and then handed over the noodles in his hand: "Husband, I'll make do with it first, and I'll make more lunch." ”

Day by day, the man has not rested for a moment yesterday, and he is a little tired. But looking at the little lady in front of her, although she was covered with a dirty coarse cloth dress, her eyes were full of delicate and soft appearance, and her heart was extremely relaxed: "There is still an hour at noon, the sun is getting stronger and stronger, and the lady is hurrying back!" ”

has been married to Zhao Laosan for more than a month, and this Zhao Laosan came to his mother's house to work so hard, Su Mi was indescribably grateful. originally thought that his brother and sister-in-law would let his man look down on him, but he didn't expect his man to cherish himself and his family more and more.

Thinking of this, a pair of autumn water scissors were choked with dotted tears, and there were some stains on the densely curled eyelashes. When the man saw his woman's appearance, he couldn't help but stretch out a hand, rub her into his arms, and stood without saying anything.

After a long while, he let go of the man, raised his head and looked at his knife-like face: "Husband, come back early!" ”

The road is bent down. He walked back with the basket on the stone slab. Zhao Laosan's dark eyes looked at the background and gradually disappeared into his eyelids, and his eyebrows twisted and dug into the soil.

After Su Mi came back, his brother and sister-in-law got up. Gu Shi pouted and scolded a few words when he saw her, Su Mi only did his own and didn't care about anything with her.

The dried radish that dried yesterday afternoon can be taken back now, Su Mu's mouth is not very good, and this radish can't be too dry. Originally, there was a large box of radish, but after a day of drying, there was only a small half of the box.

He brought a wooden basin, poured the radish into it, sprinkled some wine, and stirred the pepper and pepper together. Raw white radish strips, wrapped in chili peppers, fragrant tightly.

Although her daughter and son-in-law were helping in the house, Su's mother was not idle. Last night he took out a piece of brown linen and made clothes for his son-in-law. Right now, sitting outside the threshold, sewing stitches and threads.

Su Mi pickled the radish and went to the ground. When she was in her mother's house, she still planted some vegetables in the east field. Although my brother and sister-in-law didn't take care of this matter, after all, they had only left the Su family for a month. I picked some peppers and eggplant, and picked up a pumpkin.

The other industrious women in the village had already begun to cook, and white cooking smoke was rising from the chimney. Su Mi thought about the man who was still in the field, thinking that he would have a hot meal to eat when he came back, and his steps sped up.

When I got home, I washed the rice and boiled it in a pot with water, then cut the pumpkin into shreds, buried the peppers on the stove with charcoal, and soaked the eggplant in pieces.

There was a burst of fragrance in the stove room, Su Mi was quick with his hands and feet, and a fragrant meal was brought out in less than half an hour. Zhao Laosan also came back with a hoe, and Su Mi hurriedly took a wooden basin and scooped half a basin of water: "Husband, I'm going to wash and eat!" ”

Zhao Laosan has the strength, and these three pieces of land are not big or small, and they turned out in the morning. When I came back, I caught a wild one. Chicken.

Sitting at the dinner table, Gu's face was not happy, although he was in the house last night, he kept thinking about the gambling house in the town. If the two of them don't go, they can't get their previous books back, and they don't say anything, what will happen to the money they borrowed?

"Mother, the fields in this house have been turned out, my wife and I are going back today, you and your sister-in-law will go to plant some food, and the family will not have to worry about food and clothing!" Zhao Laosan ate the three paragraphs, and his extremely thin lips slowly spit out words.

If it weren't for the help of her son-in-law and the two of them in the family having idle meals, Su's mother didn't know how long she would have to do it.

"The son-in-law just has to go back, the field has been turned out, even if the two people in this family are abandoned, I can work alone." Su's mother was grateful, and her eyes were red with some tears.

When the Gu family heard this, he was naturally unhappy: "I didn't expect the Su family to be so poor, even if they are so powerful, they will stammer whoever they can work!" ”

"Don't say a word, look at these ten miles and eight towns, how can there be a son-in-law who comes to work like this, and only our family."

After the three of them finished eating, Gu Shi was extremely reluctant to serve his man with the meal.

When Su's mother saw that the two were about to go back, she took the clothes she had made overnight to her daughter: "It's hot now, you can rest for a while and then leave." ”

I have to walk more than ten miles to go back, and if the road is delayed, I am afraid that I will have to walk at night.

"Fortunately, the road to Zhaojia Village is some tree-lined paths, let's walk slowly!" Zhao Laosan saw that his wife had cleaned up the stove, so he was ready to go back.

Su Mi is also worried about her family, she only bought three ducklings yesterday, and she didn't know how to go for a day?

The two of them were about to leave, but they saw a few living people coming towards this side menacingly. Gu Shi Ben sat at the threshold, and when he saw those people, he hid in the house. Zhao Laosan understood at a glance that it must be the helplessness of those gambling houses in the town, and he came to ask the two for money.

Su Mu also understood people, so she was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "This month, it's already the third time, and if it goes on like this, we have to move quickly." ”

"Go into the house!" Zhao Laosan pushed the little lady beside him, and his voice was like that.

The three of them entered the house to avoid, and Zhao Laosan stood at the door with a pair of deep pool-like eyes, staring directly at the three people who came. He often sells tofu in the town, and he has naturally seen these three people. It's the gambling house, full of debts and splashes.

"Who are you? Asked Su Binghuai to come out, he owed us a few hundred dollars in the gambling house, but he didn't come yesterday, do you think Lao Tzu is easy to bully? The person who took the lead looked sideways, stretched out his hand and pushed Zhao Laosan bare-chested.

Zhao Laosan was sturdy, his face was like a knife, and he stood motionless at the door, and the three of them seemed to feel that the people in front of him were not so simple: "If the strong man is interested, he should stay away, this Su Binghuai and his wife owe us the money in the gambling house, and they can't take it out today, and the boss said that he will go back with the hands and feet of the two." ”

"Hurry up, go back and tell you boss, if Su Binghuai's hands and feet are gone, your gambling house will be gone!" Zhao Laosan's face did not change, his voice was low, and his eyebrows were twisted, and his body was full of awe-inspiring aura.

The taller and sturdier person on the side will be martial at a glance, and he will reach out in a circle. But Zhao Laosan is not a vegetarian, he held his fist, and threw him sideways, this time the whole bone of this person was almost scattered, and the hand that punched was broken, and this time he only lay on the ground and moaned.

Seeing that Zhao Laosan was so ruthless, the person who took the lead trembled in his heart: "Su Binghuai, if you have the ability, don't hide it, otherwise you owe us money and sooner or later you will kill you!" ”

"Go back and tell you the owner of the gambling house, Su Binghuai does not owe you money, and I know the little tricks of your gambling house." After Zhao Laosan finished speaking, seeing that these people were still not leaving, he took a step forward.

The two of them stepped back, pulling the man who was lying on the ground crying wolf, and quickly left. Su Mi and Su Mu came out at this time, and when they saw Zhao Laosan intact, their hearts fell.

"The lesson of the son-in-law, these people are afraid that it will take some time before they dare to come, and I hope that the two people in this family who are not angry will be more interesting and more restrained!" Su Mu said anxiously.

Zhao Laosan saw that the sun was covered by clouds, and stretched out his hand to hug his little lady: "Let's go back quickly, it's not good to go at night." ”

The two didn't go in to see their brother and sister-in-law, they only exchanged a few words with Su's mother at the door, and then hurried to Zhaojia Village.

Su Mi was just busy with her family work, but she didn't feel tired. The feet were very relaxed, and after walking a mile, I saw that my man had blood blisters on his hands, and I couldn't help but feel distressed, and a white hand held the man's palm: "If it weren't for my mother's troubled family, my husband wouldn't have to work so hard!" ”
