"Okay, I see, Dad." Su Jinyao also smiled, looked at the blood stains on Su Xiangui's sleeves and trouser legs, and said, "But let's practice here today." Dad, you sit here and rest for a while, and when the wound is not so painful, I will help you back to the house and change your clothes. ”

"Okay, it's fine. Originally, I was going to bask in the sun, but now it's good to bask in the sun. After Su Xiangui finished speaking, he tilted his head and closed his eyes, so that his whole body was facing the sun.

The sun shone on his pale face, illuminating the slightest wrinkles. But in Su Jinyao's opinion, this man is really great, he gave her a home, told her what it means to be strong with his actions, and made her feel the warmth she had never felt before.

Su Jinyao silently accompanied Su Xiangui, and her heart was full of this family.

It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that Su Jinyao helped Su Xiangui back to the house. Because his arm was broken, it took more time than before.

But Su Xiangui didn't show any pause or pain, but kept smiling and moving the bench very hard.

Su Jinyao helped Su Xiangui into the house and put him back on the kang, so that he could find clean clothes to change into. Then he took out the bloodstained clothes and washed them, dried them, and then went into the kitchen to prepare for cooking.

Life at home has been good for a while, and rice and vegetables are ready-made. Su Jinyao quickly scooped up the rice, picked the vegetables, and waited for Xiaocheng'er and Sophie to come back and stir-fry the vegetables. Fried too early, Su Jinyao was afraid that it would not taste good if it was cold.

Sophie and Xiaocheng'er haven't come back yet, but Chunniu has come back first. Her family Siping also followed alongside, and it seemed that she went to Su Jinyao's house first after coming back.

Chun Niu said: "Jin Yao, I'm back." My mother accepted the money, saying that she would take my father to the city tomorrow to see a doctor. My mother also asked me to thank you and say that you are the benefactor of our family. The clothes were also given to Aunt Li, I went to ask and asked, Aunt Li was still thinking about making clothes for you, saying that her own two clothes have not been made yet, just waiting for you to take the fabric, make it for you first. The price is still 200 Wen, Aunt Li said that she will have to do three sets of clothes for at least ten days, if you are not in a hurry, you can always do it after half a month. ”

Su Jinyao said: "No thanks, your mother is also polite." Calculated the time to get the clothes, and remembered that she had to take Xiaocheng'er to the town school for the exam, so she said: "I'm not in a hurry to get the clothes, I'll pick them up when I'm free, if I'm really not available, I'll have to trouble you to run." ”

Chunniu promised: "Okay, if you don't have time, I'll get it back for you when I go back to my parents' house to see my father in half a month." ”

After speaking, Chunniu and Siping left.

Not long after they left, the town returned.

The first thing Xiao Cheng'er did when he came back was to send a money bag to Su Xiangui's house, and then said hello to Su Jinyao and led the little goat to feed.

Su Jinyao was busy going into the kitchen to cook. Just put the rice on the stove and steam it, and the vegetables will be fried now, and it will be almost fried when the town comes back. Calculating the time, Sophie should be back soon, and she can also eat a hot ready-made meal.

Su Jinyao was busy cooking and stir-frying vegetables wholeheartedly, and the kitchen was fragrant. didn't pay attention to the situation outside, and when she put a fried dish on the plate and was about to fry a second dish, she heard Sophie's voice coming: "Brother Changliang, you can stay and eat." At this time, Jinyao should have already prepared the meal. ”

Su Jinyao didn't explain, just nodded and said, "Yes, Chunniu went back to her parents' house during the day and just came back." I happened to stir-fry the vegetables and went over to ask about the situation. By the way, Chunniu also helped us take the three pieces of fabric to Lijiatun to do it, and there is an aunt there who has a handmade top. ”

"Oh, I see. But that's what you're ...... Okay? Sophie had to nod her head and agree, and she didn't know why to leave Su Jinyao at home.

Su Jinyao smiled and said to Nunu outside the door: "Your brother Changliang is here, you can have a good meal with him." Anyway, I'll make it clear to you, don't make up your mind about me, I won't like him. Dad doesn't object to him being his son-in-law, so you can just watch it. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao put the salt away, then stuffed the spatula into Su Fei'er's hand and said, "The salt is also put, turn it twice and it will come out of the pot, I don't need to teach you this." I'm going to Chunniu's house now, go early and come back early. But you don't have to wait for me to eat, you guys are delicious. ”

"Hey, but Jinyao ......"

Su Jinyao didn't wait for Sophie to say anything, she had already taken off her apron and walked out of the kitchen.

Wang Changliang was still sitting in the yard, sitting on the edge of the chicken coop looking a little bored, and he was pulling the blades of grass to feed the chickens. As soon as she saw Su Jinyao come out, she suddenly seemed a lot more energetic, and quickly stood up, stepped forward and said, "Jinyao, are you cooking?" What kind of good food was made, and it smelled so good. ”

Su Jinyao didn't have much of a smile, but said calmly: "The meal will be ready immediately, and my eldest sister's fried food is also delicious." I've got something to go out, Brother Changliang, eat slowly. ”

"Jinyao, what's so urgent, you have to go out without even dinner? It's not easy for Brother Changliang to come back, and I want to come to see you before I go home, so can't you talk to me a few more words? Wang Changliang seemed a little anxious, and even said that he intended to come and hold Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao hurriedly took two steps back, widened the distance and said, "Brother Changliang, if you want to go home first and say hello." I really have something to do, so I won't eat with you. However, I really didn't prepare your meal for Brother Changliang, if it weren't for the eldest sister wanting to keep you, we wouldn't have you to eat at home. You have to thank my eldest sister. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao hurried out. She felt that no matter how sluggish Wang Changliang was, he should understand what she meant. What's more, she has already said it directly enough, it is Su Feier who keeps Wang Changliang, and Su Jinyao is deliberately avoiding him.

Seeing Su Jinyao hurriedly hiding from himself and going out, Wang Changliang stood there for a long time, not knowing what to do. I had the heart to chase her, but I was afraid that Su Jinyao would show her face again. Because he could clearly feel Jin Yao's alienation, she was completely different from before, and there was really no trace of the little girl who was revolving around him.

But if you don't chase it, why should you stay? He doesn't lack a place to eat, and he has food to eat when he goes home, so why do he want to stay in their Su family.

Sophie just came out, and when she saw Wang Changliang still looking at Su Jinyao's back in a daze, her heart was slightly sour. But he still hurriedly said enthusiastically: "Brother Changliang, wash your hands, the food is ready." ”

"Oh, Sophie, you see I haven't come home since I came back, and I haven't said hello to my grandfather and my father, if I eat at your house and then go back, my grandfather will blame me for not being educated, saying that I am wild and boundless, and I don't know how to go back to my own house first. I'll have to go back first, and at least say hello to my grandfather." After speaking, Wang Changliang had already raised his legs and walked out.

Sophie was suddenly full of loss, and hurriedly chased after her: "Brother Changliang, then you still can't come to my house for dinner?" Let's wait for you in a moment. ”

"Come on, but I don't necessarily come today, at this time, my mother must have prepared a meal. Thank you, Sophie. Also, I said hello to Uncle Liu for me, and said that I came back temporarily today, and I would go home to pick up some things and go to town early tomorrow morning, so I wouldn't drink with him. ”

Sophie still wanted to say a few more words to Wang Changliang, but Wang Changliang had already gone out of the door, only turned around and waved his hand, and left without looking back.

Sophie rubbed her hand on her apron, and her heart was empty. She really didn't know what she had done wrong, why did Brother Changliang treat her well for a while, and avoid her for a while? But when I met on the road before, Brother Changliang took the initiative to help her carry her things and send her home, why did he come back for such a while, and Brother Changliang left in a hurry.

"Fei'er." Su Xiangui's voice sounded, calling her urgently at the window.

"Huh? Dad, what's the matter? Sophie hurriedly turned back to accountability.

"Is the food in the kitchen burnt? I smell a lot of mush. Su Xiangui pointed to the kitchen and said.

Hearing Su Xiangui say that the meal was burned, Su Fei'er hurriedly ran back. The kitchen was already full of burnt smell, and smoke was already rising from the steamed rice on the pot. Sophie hurriedly brought the pot down, and in a hurry forgot to put a rag in her hand, but the iron pot was hot, and as soon as she got up, her hand was released, and a pot of burnt rice was turned on the ground.

"Yikes. It hurts! Sophie pinched her hot, blistering fingers, and tears came down her face. Looking at the rice in one place again, my heart was even more astringent. Originally, the top layer of the rice was burnt underneath and still edible, but now the burnt rice is gone.

"Fei'er, what's wrong?" Su Xiangui's voice remembered, and he asked anxiously.

"Daddy......" Sophie had red eyes, turned around and ran towards Su Xiangui's house. After entering the house, he threw himself directly on Su Xiangui's kang and cried "woo".

"What's wrong, Fei'er? Wasn't it okay just now, why did you cry? Burned? Of course, Su Xiangui was distressed when he saw his daughter crying, so he quickly moved over to take a look, and saw that there were several big blisters on the fingers and palms of Sophie's hands. He hurriedly said: "Hurry up, there is medicine on the kang, and my father will give you a little." This medicine really works, and it doesn't hurt after Dad takes the medicine. But I don't know if burns can also work. ”

As he spoke, Su Xiangui moved to the kang and took out the ointment that Su Jinyao had bought for him before, and wanted to give Su Fei'er medicine.

Sophie sat up at this time, wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand and said, "Dad, why are you applying medicine?" Where did you get hurt? ”

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, it's just that Dad didn't sit down and fell down." Su Xiangui felt that he had slipped away, and quickly changed the topic and said, "Look at it, it's not the first day of cooking, why is it like this." ”

"Dad, where did you fall, show me." As she spoke, Sophie pushed away Su Xiangui's hand that had given her medicine and grabbed Su Xiangui's arm.

Su Xiangui's body was inconvenient, so he dodged twice and didn't dodge, but was grabbed by Sophie's sleeve and pushed it up to expose the wound on his arm.

When Sophie saw that there was a big abrasion on her father's arm, she quickly went to the other sleeve, and then pulled the hem of her pants to check her knee. At this glance, he found that Su Xiangui had injuries on all his limbs.

"Dad, why did you fall so badly? You didn't fall so badly when you were at home before, why did Jinyao accompany you today, but you fell. Sophie was so distressed that she couldn't care about the injury on her hand, so she hurriedly blew a few breaths on her father's wound and asked, "Do you need to rub some medicine?" ”

"No need, Jinyao has already rubbed medicine on her father, and now it doesn't hurt at all. In fact, I didn't feel much pain when I fell, and my father's leg was unconscious all the time. Su Xiangui hurriedly put down his trouser legs and didn't let Sophie look at them again.

Sophie's tears fell again, and she said, "What's the matter, Dad, tell me how you fell like this." ”

Su Xiangui said: "Dad just wants to practice walking." Jin Yao also agreed, saying that it was good to exercise more, and she might be able to stand up in the future. ”

"Can you stand up and walk when you exercise? There are no lame or paralyzed people in the world. Sophie patted the edge of the kang vigorously, but her hand hurt, and she looked painful, so she had to withdraw her hand and grit her teeth and said: "Dad, Jinyao is still young after all, and she is not so sensible, why are you encouraged by her." Didn't you show this leg to many doctors at the beginning, and you didn't cure it after selling the field to make money, why do you think you can still stand up now after Jinyao says it? ”

Su Xiangui listened to Su Fei'er's words, his heart was a stalk, he pressed his legs with his hands, and said with a painful face: "Daddy, can't you have a little hope?" I hope that these legs will get better, or at least they won't be a drag on you. ”

"Whoever dislikes dad is a drag!" Sophie stood up abruptly and said, "Dad, if Jinyao and Cheng'er dislike you, I don't like you either." In the future, I will support you and take care of you for the rest of your life. ”

"Nonsense, but no one dislikes Dad." Su Xiangui hurriedly said: "Fei'er, this is all my father's own business, you don't care." Our family's life is better now, and Dad's hope is also coming, whether he can stand up or not, Dad wants to try. ”

"Daddy......" Su Fei'er wanted to say something, but Su Xiangui waved her hand resolutely and asked her to stop talking.

At this time, Xiaocheng'er's voice came from outside the door: "Dad, eldest sister, second sister, are you in Dad's house?" What's going on with the food in the kitchen? Immediately, he saw Xiaocheng'er running in.

When Xiaocheng'er entered the house, she saw Su Fei'er's red eyes, and Su Xiangui's face was resolute, but she was the only one who didn't see Su Jinyao, so she was stunned for a moment. Then he shouted: "Eldest sister, did you bully the second sister again, and you still ran to your father to complain?" What about the second sister, is she gone? ”

Xiao Cheng'er roared like this, which startled Sophie, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, I didn't treat her well." Jinyao went to Uncle Siping's house to find Aunt Chunniu. I didn't look at the pot for a while, so the rice was burned, but when I served the pot, I didn't pay attention, so I burned my hands and spilled the rice. ”

Sophie stretched out her burned hand again for Xiao Cheng'er to see, and Xiao Cheng'er believed Sophie's words. nodded and said, "Okay, just don't bully the second sister." ”

"Stinky boy, she is your second sister, and I am still your eldest sister, why can't you favor me a little more." Sophie said, got up and said, "Dad, I'll go steam another pot of rice." Cheng'er, you also go and call your second sister back for dinner. ”

Since Wang Changliang didn't stay to eat, of course he wanted to call Su Jinyao back. Now Sophie also understands that most of Su Jinyao is trying to match herself and Wang Changliang, so she hid out.

Xiao Cheng'er agreed and ran away, but Sophie turned and went out the door, going straight to the kitchen to cook.

Su Xiangui poked his head out of the window and said to Su Fei'er: "Fei'er, remember your words, you can't say what your father told you, just treat it as if you don't know at all." ”

"Yes, I remember Dad. It's a good thing that you have hope, I shouldn't think about it. With that, Sophie went into the kitchen.

Xiaocheng'er kept running towards Chunniu's house when he left the house, and the village was not big, so it didn't take long to arrive.

The door of Chunniu's house was closed, and the kitchen was already rising with smoke and the "clanging" of pots and pans.

Xiao Cheng'er tapped on the door and shouted, "Aunt Chunniu, I'm Xiao Cheng'er, I'm here to call my second sister home for dinner." ”

"Who? Cheng'er, are you looking for Jinyao? She didn't come. Chun Niu poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, then turned to the kitchen and said something. Then I saw Siping come out quickly and open the door to Xiaocheng'er.

Xiao Cheng'er was stunned when she heard Chunniu's words, walked in and asked, "Didn't my second sister say that she came to your house to talk to you about making clothes?" Why didn't she come? ”

When Xiao Cheng'er said this, Chunniu was also stunned, and hurriedly said: "When I came back from my mother's house in the afternoon, I went directly to your house first, and I have explained the matter of making clothes to Jinyao clearly." She also said that she didn't have time to go then, so she asked me to help her get it back. Why did she come to my house again? I didn't see anyone. ”

Chunniu is in a hurry, why not in a hurry. walked around the courtyard of Chunniu's house, hurriedly walked out again, and said, "Could it be that the second sister went back without coming to your house?" So why didn't I run into her? It's going to be dark, where can she go? ”

"Cheng'er, don't worry, think about it again, maybe your second sister went out to play, or went somewhere else?" Chunniu hurriedly grabbed Xiaocheng'er and persuaded her. After all, Xiaocheng'er is still a child, and she is afraid that something will happen to Chun Niu in such a hurry.

Xiao Cheng'er was stunned when she heard this, and her mind spun quickly, thinking about whether Su Jinyao really had a fork with her, or did she say that she didn't plan to come to Chunniu's house at all?

After thinking for a while, Xiao Cheng'er pursed her lips and said, "I know, my second sister probably really went out to play." Aunt Chunniu, I'm going to look for her now. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I'll go with you." Chunniu didn't worry about Xiaocheng'er going by herself, not to mention that she was also worried about Su Jinyao, of course she wanted to go with her.

Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, it's nearby, I know where the second sister often goes, and I can find her as soon as possible." Aunt Chunniu, you cook at home, I found the second sister, come and talk to you. ”

Chunniu hurriedly said, "Then you remember to come and tell me." If you haven't found it after an hour, come back and say a word, and I'll help you find it with Siping. ”
