Chapter 17: Lying

Su Qingtong lifted the cotton clothes, took out a handful of things from the shirt pocket inside the cotton clothes and handed them to his mother and said: "I was a little afraid of being seen, so I didn't count how much, there should be hundreds of yuan, and then I took the money and ran to Qingxi Town, I couldn't believe it was real money, so I tried to buy things with one, and the salesperson in the mall actually sold things to me, and found me a handful of change, I knew that this was real money, and then I bought so many things unconsciously, and now there are still these left." ”

Wang Xuelian took the money in her daughter's hand and counted it with the light, and then said to Su Xiuqian: "There are still two hundred and forty yuan left." ”

Su Xiuqian's breathing was not normal, two hundred and forty yuan, it was tantamount to a huge amount of money for him, he took the money and looked at it one by one under the light, and he actually had some doubts, is this really money?

Wang Xuelian asked Su Qingtong in a low voice: "When you picked up the money, did anyone see it?" ”

Su Qingtong said: "I paid attention, there was no one around. ”

Su Xiuqian finally calmed down, and then asked his wife with a frown: "Who do you say will go out with so much money?" I was so scared that I was going to die. ”

Wang Xuelian was not as troubled as Su Xiuqian, so she naturally stuffed the money into her pocket and said: "The person who can go out with so much money must be a rich person, you don't care who he drops, and we don't steal or rob, God sees that our family is crazy about money, and pity our family's difficulties and give us debts." ”

As soon as Su Xiuqian heard the words 'repay debts', he didn't say anything anymore, and besides, if he lost so much money, he wouldn't have to make a fuss? But today I am quiet, and I haven't heard of anyone losing money, which proves that it was not dropped by someone nearby, in this case, there is not much guilt when using this money.

This is a charcoal in the snow, which solves his urgent need.

Wang Xuelian continued: "Besides, the young girl has used so much money, we just can't afford to pay it back, it's better to use the money to pay off the debt, the Tan family has urged us several times, and if we don't pay back his money, his wife has to come to the door to quarrel." ”

Su Xiuqian was terrified when she heard Tan Siye's wife.

Tan Si's wife is a powerful one, a mouth is extremely vicious, there is no half a good word, bad words come as soon as she opens her mouth, if anyone makes her unhappy, she will say that the eighteen generations of your ancestors are heinous.

Now that she has obtained this windfall, she has just repaid her family's 100 yuan first, and the remaining 140 yuan can also pay off other family's debts, which is finally easy.

At this time, Su Zitong and Su Tianhua had already turned out several large bags of snacks to eat, and Wang Xuelian opened more than a dozen bags of pastries and snacks, which were actually snacks, and it didn't seem to be cheap, and Su Xiuqian next to him was inexplicably angry.

"Su Qingtong, why don't you go home to your parents first after you picked up the money? But take it to buy food and clothing, do you know that the family owes a lot of debts to pay? ”

Wang Xuelian hurriedly pulled her husband's sleeve, and said with a pouting in front of her, "What are you doing so loudly?" Afraid that others don't know? ”

Su Xiuqian had no choice but to suppress his anger and continue to say to Su Qingtong: "You only know how to eat and eat, and you are not sensible at all. ”

Su Qingtong was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had money for you, but he still wanted to scold me, but he had to say: "Dad, I will give you all the money next time I pick it up." ”

Su Xiuqian didn't know what to say for a while, and the next time he picked up the money, he would hand it over to him, he had lived for more than 30 years in his life and had never picked up a few dollars, and he thought that it was raining in the sky, and he could pick up so much money next time, she thought it was very beautiful.

In the next few days, what made Su Qingtong depressed was that her father scolded her once whenever he thought of money, saying that she should not use the money, otherwise all the debts owed by the family would be paid off.

Su Qingtong actually had nothing to say, so he had to bear it silently.

At this time, she is going to Qingxi Hotel to deliver again, this time there are more varieties of loofah, bitter gourd, cucumber, water spinach and leeks, green garlic and shallots and other ingredients, Huang Zhixin is very happy, and asked her to send more next time, preferably more varieties.

Su Qingtong asked curiously, "Uncle Huang, is the business of your hotel so good?" ”

Huang Zhixin shook his head and said: "We often have people in the hotel come to have meetings, plus tourists come to order, the hundreds of catties of vegetables you send can also be eaten for two days, and now a lot of them are because there are a few old cadres in the city who have eaten your vegetables and are full of praise, entrusting me to help them buy them, so I want so much, girl, can you send more green pepper beans and eggplant next time?" ”

Su Qingtong thought to himself, it turned out to be like this, no wonder the amount was getting more and more, it turned out that some people bought it separately, but the vegetables they wanted were too pretty, and they knew that there were more varieties at that time, so they said: "This is not easy to say, sometimes it will be more, sometimes it will be less." ”

Huang Zhixin said: "Then what is there to give, we can all stand it." ”

"Okay, next time I'll try to send more vegetables like green peppers and beans."

Huang Zhixin said: "Next time, I will buy more green pepper beans, seeing that the New Year is approaching, I may ask for a large sum, this goods, everyone likes to eat it." ”

Su Qingtong thanked Huang Zhixin and rushed home, in a good mood, the business has done now, and it can be regarded as having a fixed source of customers, but with the expansion of customers, three acres of land seems to be more and more insufficient, it seems that pumpkins and winter melons have to be planted by the pond, and the land is freed up to plant peppers and eggplant beans.

Suddenly, her nose was cold, and when she looked up, there were big snowflakes floating in the dull sky, which began to fall sparsely, and then became denser and denser, and after a while, the fields and roofs were covered with a layer of white and soft cotton, and there was white everywhere, Su Qingtong jumped in surprise, and ran wildly on the road against the goose feather snow.

She had never seen snow since she settled in the south in her previous life, and she had almost forgotten the feeling of snow, and at this moment, she saw such a snow day again, and her mood was indescribably excited, and even the excitement of reunion after a long absence.

This heavy snowfall lasted for three days, and the thatched hut of Zhou Ruohui's house was crushed by the snow, and a sow ran out with two pigs of seventy or eighty pounds, and the family began to look for pigs at three or four o'clock in the morning, and they were in a hurry.

Su Qingtong was awakened at six o'clock in the morning by the sound of Zhou Ruohui's father and brothers calling for pigs.

The people in the production team all knew that their family had suffered a disaster, and after dawn, it was said that the sow was recovered, and another pig was also recovered, but one was still lost, and it was originally planned to be fed for another two months before it was slaughtered, but now it is gone, and the family is heartbroken to death.

The people who live in Qingjiatang got together early in the morning to talk about this matter, and their words also hurt for their family, the farmer family all year round, they rely on feeding pigs for some living money, I don't know how much money to, how much food to feed, and now the chickens and eggs are empty, and whoever is the turn will be angry.

Ji Zhiyan sighed and said: "This unlucky person, no matter how hard you try, you can't help it, you see that Ruohui's sister's family fed two pigs this year, and she is about to turn over, who knows that if you run away, it will be fed in vain." ”

Su Aishan, who lives outside the Qingjiatang house, said: "It's okay to feed it for nothing, it only takes a little effort, but now the money for catching piglets and the food for feeding are lost." ”

At this moment, Zhou Ruohui's eldest brother walked down from the back hill of Qingjiatang with a stick in his hand.

Ji Zhiyan asked out loud: "Liuzi, have you found the pig?" ”

The six men said in frustration: "There is still one that has not been found, and I don't know where to run." ”

Wang Xuelian said: "Look carefully, maybe you can hide in a corner." ”

The six gentlemen glanced at Grandma Thursday and said, "Maybe someone has hidden it, but you still have to look for it, Aunt Aishan, Snow Lotus Yanyan, Ji Zhiyan Yan, if you see it, please notify us." ”

"Don't worry, if we see it, we'll tell you home."

Su Qingtong found that he didn't say hello to Grandma Thursday, this is also the Zhou family's brothers are too famous, if the pig is seen by the Zhou family's brothers, I'm afraid that it won't be able to be recovered, so he doesn't bother to bother with that tongue.

Zhou Ruohui's eldest brother walked towards the edge of the Tianyuan slope of Qingjiatang, and while using a stick to dial the snow on the thorn canopy, he looked to see if there was a pig hiding from the bottom, and called "nag, nag......."

In the previous life, Zhou Ruohui's family did not find this pig in the end, and it was really hidden by someone for themselves, in short, it became a mystery.

Su Qingtong was not interested in the known results, but silently retreated to the house, and then entered the space behind the house, the space planted some new vegetable seeds, which had already sprouted, she had to move the seeds, otherwise it would affect the hanging fruits in the back, these lentils were still the seeds she asked for next door Ji Zhiyan.

Although the people in the production team sympathized with Zhou Zhixi's family, Zhou Ruohui, as a daughter, didn't realize it, and came to Su Qingtong to play the next day.

Nowadays, the supply and marketing cooperatives of the brigade department are using glass cabinets to display the goods for sale, and what customers want needs to be taken out by the salesperson to touch and see, where is like the later self-selected shopping mall, choose at will, touch it wantonly, and put it in front of you to see it carefully.

Now there are five or six people in the supply and marketing cooperative, except for an uncle who is about fifty years old, all of whom are middle-aged people in their early thirties and less than forty years old, and there is also a teenager who looks about twenty years old, with fair skin, delicate facial features, and a tall and slender figure.

Su Qingtong naturally knew that there were many women who liked him and admired him, after all, everyone had a love for beauty, but he didn't expect that twelve-year-old Zhou Ruohui also had that thought, looking at her shy and timid appearance, Su Qingtong's goosebumps fell all over the ground.

The boy glanced at the two of them, not as impatient as he was when he faced the shopping aunt just now, and he didn't frown, maybe for the sake of their young age.

Zhou Ruohui was so excited by that glance that her originally black face turned black and red, and she was actually purple, she was afraid that she would think that the man liked her.

Su Qingtong felt that this possibility was extremely unlikely, and in order to prove that she was not in the same mind as Zhou Ruohui, she hurriedly walked out.

She is not Zhou Ruohui, her life experience is originally criticized, if it is rumored that she likes men at a young age, then this life will be over, I am afraid that all kinds of gossip will drown her.

Su Qingtong came out for a long time, but Zhou Ruohui hadn't come out with him, so he had no choice but to go back and call her: "Zhou Ruohui, let's go." ”

Zhou Ruohui came out in a hurry, and on the way back, he was still intoxicated with a pink dream, thinking about his own thoughts, and he didn't talk to Su Qingtong, and Su Qingtong didn't care, but leisurely looked at the scenery in the snow.

At this time, the hometown was really simple and beautiful.

The snow continued to fall for several days before it stopped, and it is said that this snow crushed many old houses, and even crushed people, but the disaster on Su Qingtong's side was not serious, and no one died.

The sky clears, the golden sunlight sweeps away the gloom of the past, melts the snow on the roof, and in the morning you can see the sharp crystal clear ice hammers hanging from the tiles of the eaves.

The parents forbade their siblings to play under the eaves for fear that an ice hammer would fall on them and cause an accident.

It is said that a man who was standing under the eaves brushing his teeth was stabbed in the head by a falling ice hammer and died on the spot, so every household was careful of the ice hammers hanging from the eaves that could fall at any time.

Next door, Huang Sheng and his uncle hit ice picks with bamboo poles in the morning, and Ji Zhiyan stood on the base of the steps and said: "The snow on the roof has not melted clean, you have knocked it off today and there will be it tomorrow, so why bother with that." ”

Huang Sheng and his uncle said: "If you beat it today, you can rest assured for a day, and I will fight again tomorrow." ”

Who knew that he accidentally swept the tiles down, and the tiles smashed diagonally towards Ji Zhiyan and the child who were standing on the base of the steps with an ice hammer, rubbing Ji Zhiyan's ears and smashing them on the wall behind her, and then fell to the ground with a "snap" before breaking into three pieces, and everyone screamed.

Huang Sheng and his uncle were so frightened that their legs became weak and they no longer dared to hit icicles.

In the past few days of melting snow, everyone is like a big enemy, especially Ji Zhiyan, who doesn't dare to go out, and Huang Sheng and his uncle dare to cross the ladder base wearing a hat, and they look indescribably funny.

Su Qingtong's final exam is these days, and the next day after the exam is her mother Wang Xuelian's birthday.
