Chapter 21: Daddy is gone
"Brother Su, Brother Su Qiang, are you there?"
The voices of the people inside were so loud that they were just calling, and they were afraid they couldn't hear them yet.
Qiu San banged on the door, "Brother Su, I'm Qiu San, I heard that you hurt your foot, and the brothers cut half a catty of meat and a catty of wine to see you." ”
Luo Yan knew that Qiu San was a gambler and didn't want to deal with it, but when she heard him say that she had brought wine and meat, she quickly cleaned up the expression on her face, and helped Su Qiang on the bed tuck the thin quilt, "I'll open the door for them." ”
"You treat them better, you see that I hurt my foot, my own brothers didn't come to see me, or these friends are reliable."
Luo Yan was noncommittal to Su Qiang's words, and opened the door to welcome him out with half a catty of meat and a catty of wine.
"Little sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, where is my big brother Su?" I had never seen Luo Yan's smiling face before, and Qiu San'er understood that it was the meat in her hand that played a role.
The other two friends of wine and meat also praised Luo Yan a few words according to Qiu San'er's words, and by the way, expressed their concern for Su Qiang and wanted to meet Su Qiang.
Luo Yan pondered that the matter of selling Su Wu and earning 20 taels of silver was probably known to Qiu San'er, this gambler was looking for the taste of silver, although she knew it in her heart, she also wanted the wine and meat in Qiu San'er's hand.
"Third Brother Qiu, come here, what kind of gifts do you bring, you really broke the bank."
She wanted to take the meat from Qiu San'er's hand, but where could Qiu San'er be so simple as she wanted?
Qiu San'er arched his hand holding the meat into the sky, dodging Luo Yan's outstretched hand, looking like a righteous and thin cloud, "The sky can be learned, I and Brother Su Qiang have a friendship that has shared hardships, no, as soon as I won the silver, I immediately cut the meat and bought wine, and took my brothers to visit Brother Su." ”
Once he entered the courtyard gate, Luo Yan really couldn't stop Qiu San'er, he took the two brothers and walked straight to the back room.
Luo Yan was still worried, but after following up, she found that Qiu San and the others were really just chatting with Su Qiang.
Su Qiang took the pound of solid pork, and a smile bloomed on his face, "Yan'er, take it to the kitchen and make some meat dishes to entertain my brothers." ”
Qiu San'er hurriedly refused, "Good brother, how can this be done, this was originally taken to visit you, why are we embarrassed to leave after eating?" ”
Seeing that Su Qiang still wanted to say, Qiu San smiled mysteriously, touched a money bag from his sleeve, opened the bag, and it was full of broken silver.
This silver, Su Qiang also swallowed his saliva, "San'er, have you made a fortune?" ”。
Qiu San'er proudly fiddled with the broken silver in the bag, "Brother Su, this is five taels of silver, you see, the younger brother has had good luck in the past few days and has made a fortune, so I thought of you first." ”
"So this meat, you just let your family eat it, the little brother really doesn't lack this bite, you see that you have a big family, so many mouths, we three big men use chopsticks, how many pieces can your children get for this pound of meat?"
Qiu San's words made Su Qiang, who was a little fragile in his heart after being injured, feel warm, and he held Qiu San's hand and said movingly, "San'er, good brother, you are closer than my own brother!" ”
"Not really." Qiu San scratched his head embarrassedly.
Su Qiang glanced at Luo Yan who was in front of the bed, glared at her and said, "There are all men here, what are you doing here, this catty of meat, cut it in half, divide it equally, and send it to the eldest brother and the third brother's family." ”
Luo Yan was so angry by his words that the grievance just now came out again.
There were outsiders, and Luo Yan didn't dare to scold her in-laws and uncle directly, but just reminded, "You, what's the matter, you forgot what I just said?" ”
She really hates Su Qiang, this man, he is a gangster, he doesn't care about his wife and children at home, but the reason why he is a bastard is because he wants to attract the attention of his father, and the more he mixes up, the more he wants his father to look at him more.
However, his father and mother have long stopped treating him as a thing, and let him die, they will not care about him, but will dislike him even more and cause trouble.
As for him, although he can't change his gangster nature in the future, he will occasionally gamble and start working, but when he earns money, he will send it to his father, just for his father's mother.
This kind of man has really been eaten to death by his father and mother all his life, and he can't get a good word from them.
There are outsiders, Su Qiang wants to save face, he glared at Luo Yan angrily, "Why, I don't have to give the silver, and I can't take a little filial piety to my father and mother for the meat my brother gave me?" ”
Luo Yan didn't want to quarrel with him in front of outsiders, and listened to him, and he didn't plan to give money to the dead old woman, maybe he listened to what she said just now, so he asked her to send meat, but not silver.
Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, carried the meat, went to the kitchen, took the knife, and began to divide the meat.
What Su Qiang said was divided into two parts, and then divided equally.
She didn't do it.
The largest portion of the house was left behind, two-thirds of the whole lump of meat.
The remaining third is divided equally.
In this year, everyone's family is poor, except for the New Year, who can get meat.
A family can divide one or two more meats, cut them into small points, and everyone can also clip a chopstick meat, which is already good.
I still want to divide the meat in half and dream!
Luo Yan went out and found Su Mei who was playing in the village, "Go back quickly, keep an eye on your father and Qiu San'er, don't let your father run away with them." ”
Su Mei asked puzzledly, "Daddy's leg is lame, how can he run?" ”
Luo Yan couldn't wait to slap this stupid girl on the head, "They have an ox cart, if your father runs away, the pastries you want in Yuexuan Pavilion will be useless." ”
Su Mei nodded hurriedly, "Oh, I see." ”
"Where's your brother?"
"I don't know where he went."
"Okay, you go back and watch first, you go back, you pull your brother to watch it together, I will send meat back to your uncle and third uncle, and I will fry shredded meat for you to eat."
"Oh, there's meat to eat at home, there's meat to eat." Su Mei clapped happily and ran home screaming, for fear that no one would hear that she could eat meat at night.
However, when Su Mei rushed home, there was still her lame father and Qiu San'er at home.
Within a minute of Luo Yan leaving home, Su Qiang took the initiative to take Qiu San'er's hand and asked, "San'er, what have you done recently to make a fortune?" ”
Qiu San's tail was tilted into the sky and he picked his teeth with straw, "Hey, what else can I do, I'm not an old businessman, but I've been lucky lately, so I have won a little more silver, and I win two or three taels, four or five taels a day, which is enough for me to be free every day recently." ”
The two brothers who came with him also chimed in, "Brother Qiu has been really lucky recently, but he just won't tell us where he won the money, Brother Su, you have to tell us about him, if you have money, don't help the brothers get rich together, what is this?" ”
"That's it, that's it, Brother Su, you can help us talk about him, he doesn't listen to anyone on weekdays, so let's listen to you, let him tell his brother what kind of money he won."
