"Second sister!" The voice of the little town sounded from a distance, and the direction was on the hillside.

Su Jinyao immediately raised her head and saw Xiaocheng'er running all the way down from the hillside.

"Slow down, don't fall." Su Jinyao hurriedly caught up, for fear that Xiaocheng'er would run too quickly and fall. And this is another downhill road, and if you stumble a little under your feet, you may roll straight down, which is too serious.

"Don't worry, I'll go." Gu Xuebin saw that Su Jinyao was also running forward in a hurry, so he hurriedly followed. Reaching out and pressing Su Jinyao's shoulder, he rushed forward and caught Xiao Cheng'er.

Xiaocheng'er's downward rush was very strong, Gu Xuebin's body was only a little taller than Xiaocheng'er, and he was not so strong, and both of them almost fell down when they were hit by Uncle Xiao like this.

However, Gu Xuebin's reaction was very fast, and he had prepared before, so his body sank down suddenly, and he used a thousand pounds of kung fu to hold Xiao Cheng'er.

"My second sister has been found? Second sister, are you okay? As soon as Xiao Cheng'er's body stood firm, he asked Su Jinyao.

"Second sister is fine. It's you, why are you so anxious, what if you fall. Su Jinyao had already come closer, holding Xiaocheng'er with one hand, and pulling Gu Xuebin with the other, and said "thank you".

Xiao Cheng'er turned his head to look at Gu Xuebin, pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly said, "Thank you, brother-in-law." ”

"Little Town!" Su Jinyao was stunned all of a sudden. Even if she had a nimble mind, she had never dealt with such a scene. I don't know what to say to alleviate this embarrassment.

It's just that Su Jinyao didn't expect that Gu Xuebin would nod cheekily and replied to Xiao Cheng'er: "Well, no thanks, it should be." ”

Su Jinyao was choked by Gu Xuebin and Xiao Cheng'er's questions and answers, and she choked for a long time without saying a word. In the end, he knocked on Xiao Cheng'er's head with some annoyance and roared: "Su Cheng, you just recognize a brother-in-law so casually?" Did you know that this is tantamount to selling your sister? ”

"Second sister, I see that he is very good to you. As soon as I said that you were missing, he hurriedly looked for it, and he was not chaotic, and the division of labor was very clear. Such a man is responsible, responsible, and has brains, and he is really good. Xiao Cheng'er actually talked back to Su Jinyao, and what he said was right.

Su Jinyao was so angry that she puffed out her cheeks, raised her eyebrows and wanted to roar again, but she saw Gu Xuebin coming over directly, "snatching" Xiaocheng'er from Su Jinyao's hand, hooking Xiaocheng'er's neck and saying, "Okay, that's good." You are also so responsible, and your brother-in-law will cover you in the future. ”

"Okay. However, my brother-in-law just made a jack fall, right? You leave this work to me, and every time I see you in the future, I will call my brother-in-law, call three times, and ensure that it is loud. Xiao Cheng'er shook his head and talked to Gu Xuebin about the conditions.

Su Jinyao was still staring the side, but no one paid attention to her. It's as if the two of them are studying something that has nothing to do with her. But she actually knows very well that Xiaocheng'er, a guy who sells his sister for glory, is simply unfriendly.

Gu Xuebin peeked at Su Jinyao's delicate appearance, and his heart was filled with layers of pampering. But he deliberately said loudly to Xiaocheng'er: "Okay, deal." I'll teach you another set of exercises to light your body, you have to remember to call it 'second brother-in-law', if you call it wrong, I won't spare you. ”

"Oh, yes, you've found a loophole. It should be called the second brother-in-law. Hee-hee. Xiao Cheng'er was still grinning so innocently, but now Su Jinyao knew that this stinky boy was selling his sister, but he was by no means ambiguous. And also know the bargain.

"Enough, Su Cheng, don't call me second sister in the future, I don't know you." Su Jinyao glared at Xiao Cheng'er fiercely, pointed at Gu Xuebin and said, "Also, this guy also knows words, you can find him to teach you literacy in the future." ”

"Second sister......" Xiao Cheng'er finally showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

But Gu Xuebin immediately said: "I am literate, I can recite poems, and I also know the art of war." I'll teach you the same when I go back. Su Cheng, you are a man, you should also learn some man's skills. In the future, if you have nothing to do, come to me in the bamboo forest, and I will personally teach you martial arts and the art of war. ”

"Poof" Su Jinyao really vomited blood. She really didn't expect that Gu Xuebin, this guy, would be demolished so thoroughly.

With a hard stomp, Su Jinyao turned around and left. She didn't bother to pay attention to the two guys who sang and harmonized. Knowing that they are making a show for themselves, no matter how serious she is, she is a fool.

Unexpectedly, after only a few steps, Gu Xuebin rushed over from behind, grabbed Su Jinyao's waist, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her hard.

Su Jinyao didn't have time to struggle, but Gu Xuebin let her go again. Just gently held her shoulders and said softly, "Teasing you." I just don't want you to be busy making money and teaching Cheng'er to study, and you have to bother to study ways to cure me. In the future, leave the responsibility of teaching him to me, and I will definitely teach him well. ”

"You ......" Su Jinyao was moved when she heard this. It turned out that she was really stupid, she didn't find out that Gu Xuebin meant this, and he would think about her so much.

Xiao Cheng'er also walked over with a smile and said, "Second sister, I will be happy to have more people protect you in the future." However, if you think this second brother-in-law is not good, you can change it at any time. Anyway, I have a mouth, who is not called. Only the person identified by my second sister is my real second brother-in-law. ”

"Little Town!"

"Sioux City!"

Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin called Xiaocheng'er's name together. They can see through it, this kid is really too perverse, and his brain is so good.

Xiao Cheng'er deliberately pretended to be frightened, covered his head and said, "Okay, okay, I admit my mistake." I'm talking about having fun. Second sister, let's go home quickly, I'm going to starve to death. Dad and eldest sister must be dying in a hurry. ”

"Yes, it's useless to say something, Dad is in a hurry at home." Su Jinyao pulled the small city and walked back together.

Gu Xuebin has been following behind him, and he didn't forget to advise: "In the future, you are not allowed to find a reason to run out and find no one again." However, if it is really that Wang Changliang who went, you can come to me in the bamboo forest. ”

Before Su Jinyao could answer, Xiao Cheng'er said with a smile: "Okay, I'll make a bamboo whistle for the second sister when I go back, and as soon as she blows, you will come." ”

It was originally a joke, but Gu Xuebin said with a straight face: "It's okay." But don't forget to do it, you can't blow it back without making a sound or being crispy. ”

Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly said: "Yes, second brother-in-law, don't worry." The bamboo whistle I made, you can walk the birds, let alone greet you. ”

"Poof, hahaha......" Su Jinyao finally couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Gu Xuebin's blackened face, and seeing that he was finally deflated, Su Jinyao was very happy.

"Alright, we're back. You remember to take your medicine on time. Su Jinyao looked at the village road not far ahead, turned to Gu Xuebin and said.

Gu Xuebin smiled at Su Jinyao and said lightly, "Well, I wrote it down." ”

The smile between his eyebrows, accompanied by the unique elegance of his body, was as light as bamboo incense, quiet and quiet, which made Su Jinyao's heart and lungs flutter with a touch of tenderness. In the end, he could only say a slight "um" and pulled the small city away quickly.

"Second sister, he's still watching us." Xiao Cheng'er quietly glanced back and hurriedly reported to Su Jinyao.

"Without looking back, he's gone." Su Jinyao pinched Xiaocheng'er, and then said, "If my father and eldest sister ask after I go home, why did you come back so late, what can you say?" ”

"I'll just say that I learned to make a fire at Uncle Siping's house. said that you and Aunt Chunniu were chatting happily, and forgot the time. Speaking of this, Xiao Cheng'er said: "I have to go back and talk to Aunt Chunniu quickly, she said that if I can't find you in an hour, I will go back and tell her, so as not to worry her." I'll have to ask her to tell us a lie by the way. ”

Su Jinyao nodded when she heard this and said, "Let's go, let's go together." I said to Chunniu. ”

The two sisters and brothers did not walk into the village road, but bypassed half of the village and ran directly to the Li family's old house. From a distance, I saw that under the big locust tree, Chun Niu was anxiously looking around, as if she was waiting for the small town to come back and report the news.

Chunniu also saw Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er at this time, hurriedly greeted her, grabbed Su Jinyao's sleeve and said, "Jinyao, you are scaring me." Where did you go? ”

Su Jinyao was really anxious when she saw Chunniu's appearance, and knew that she really cared about herself, so she said, "It's okay, it's just that he went wrong with Xiaocheng'er, and he didn't meet me." ”

Chunniu didn't believe Su Jinyao's words, shook her head and said, "No, if it goes wrong, it can't be like this for half a day." It's dark, and you're coming back from outside. Jinyao, what's wrong, don't hide it from me, if there's anything I can help, tell me I'll help. If there's anything that no one else can know, I promise I won't tell you. ”

Seeing Chunniu's serious appearance, as if she could see that she had done something bad, Su Jinyao smiled. grabbed Chunniu with his backhand and said, "It's really okay, I just took the time to go up the mountain and find something." Don't ask anything else, and when I plan it, you'll come and help. ”

Seeing that Su Jinyao refused to say, Chun Niu didn't ask about it, but still said, "Then you go back now, what can you say?" ”

"Isn't this coming here for you to help me make a round?" Su Jinyao said that she was a little embarrassed, thinking that Chunniu was also using herself as a shield at the beginning, and now she came to ask Chunniu to help her lie.

Chunniu didn't care and said, "Okay, what should you say, you tell me." Then go back quickly. ”

Su Jinyao said: "You just said that Xiaocheng'er and I were playing at your house." Say I'll talk to you, Xiaocheng'er followed Siping to learn the fire kang, and it was time to finish learning. ”

"Okay, I'll make a note of that." Chun Niu nodded and agreed.

Only then did Su Jinyao pull Xiaocheng'er back. After walking a few steps, he remembered something, turned back to Chunniu and said, "Today I said that Siping will follow my father to learn the craft of basket weaving, don't forget." Let's see that we have cleaned up everything in the field and at home in the past two days, so come here. Chunniu, you come too, I also have something to arrange for you. ”

"Hey, okay." Chun Niu hurriedly agreed, her face full of gratitude.

Su Jinyao waved her hand and asked Chunniu to go home, and she and Xiaocheng'er also left.

When I got home, I had a lamp on a lamp pole in the middle of the yard. Through the fence, I saw that the kitchen light was out, and the light in Su Xiangui's house was on, and the window was open. This is that Su Fei'er has prepared the meal and put it in her father's house, but Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er have not come back, so they are waiting in Su Xiangui's house.

Su Jinyao gently tugged on Xiao Cheng'er's sleeve and motioned him to be clever for a while. Xiao Cheng'er nodded, lowered his voice and said, "Second sister, don't worry." ”

Xiao Cheng'er pushed open the courtyard door and shouted, "Dad, eldest sister, we're back." ”

"Why are you back so late?" Su Xiangui poked his head out of the window first, and said anxiously: "If you don't come back, I will let Fei'er go to Siping's house to find you." ”

Sophie also leaned out of the window and said, "Yes, Dad is in a hurry." The food is also cold, so I'll heat it up now. ”

Su Jinyao said: "It's not like you forget the time when you play." Xiaocheng'er is still learning to make a fire kang with Siping. It's not that Brother Changliang is eating at our house, I want you to chat with him, so we played for a while. ”

Sophie walked out with the food, with a wry smile on her face, and said, "Let's go, walk with you back and forth." I'll tell Xiaocheng'er to look for you, but you two are fine, and you'll come back at this time. ”

Su Jinyao turned her head to look at Xiao Cheng'er and asked him with her eyes, why didn't she tell herself about it.

Xiao Cheng'er shrugged his shoulders quietly, looking innocent. He didn't know that Brother Changliang came to the house at all. When he returned, he saw burnt rice scattered all over the floor.

Su Jinyao thought about it, and after Xiaocheng'er went home, he took the little goat to feed, and he hadn't come back when he left. It is estimated that Wang Changliang also followed him when he left, and he really didn't know that Wang Changliang had come. So he quickly changed the topic and said: "Dad, I'm thinking, I'll find someone to repair the house in a few days, do you know how much it costs to repair our house?" How much does it cost to build a new house? ”

Su Jinyao knew that the old house of the Chunniu family had to be repaired for two or three taels of silver, but the old house of the Chunniu family was actually a little better and bigger than their Su family's house. She remembers that her father said that even if the adobe houses of their family were sold, they would be worth five or six taels of silver. If this is repaired, it will take two or three taels, and the result is still a dilapidated house, so it is better to build a new house directly.

Su Xiangui listened, looked up at the roof and yard of his house, shook his head with a smile and said, "This father doesn't know, I haven't repaired the house for a long time." ”

"Then I'll get a mason to take a look." Su Jinyao said, and helped Su Fei'er bring the food to the kitchen.

Sophie took the opportunity to ask, "Jinyao, do you want to repair the house?" ”

Su Jinyao said: "Yes, it's summer, and the rainy season is coming soon." If you don't repair now, you'll have to endure it for a summer, and you won't be able to repair it until the rainy season is over. ”

Sophie was even more surprised: "Didn't you lend all the money to Aunt Chunniu?" ”

"Oh, I'm planning to fix it when I make more money." Su Jinyao stalked for a moment, but did not tell the truth.

Sophie poured the vegetables into the pot and stir-fried them again, and said, "I went to the town today to buy vegetable seeds, and tomorrow I will turn over all the places that can grow vegetables in the front yard and backyard, and then apply some fertilizer to plant them." ”

As soon as she heard about fertilization, Su Jinyao's brows furrowed, and she hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, I have a request, can I not get that stinky farm fertilizer." I can't stand the smell. ”

If there is anything that Su Jinyao is not used to after crossing, it is that the matter of going to the thatched house makes her hate it deeply. But there is no way, there is no flushing toilet in ancient times, and she is not omnipotent, this really can't be designed. If Sophie wants to grow vegetables, get some fertilizer and sprinkle it in the yard...... Su Jinyao felt a chill when she thought about it.

Seeing Su Jinyao's frowning and bitter expression, Su Fei'er smiled. "You don't need to apply that kind of fertilizer to grow vegetables in your yard." Besides, that kind of fertilizer can only be used after fermentation, and it won't smell when fermented. I sprinkle some plant ash in the ground and turn it over a few times to make fertilizer. Later, dig a pit and bury the harvested vegetable seedlings, and after fermentation, they can also be used as fertilizer. ”

"Oh, I see. I really don't understand farming. Su Jinyao smiled after hearing this.

Sophie also smiled and said, "There are many types of fertilizers. Is it true that you can not grow crops without manure? Vegetable leaves, chickens, ducks, and pig offal can all be used as fertilizer. Even if it's the pig bones we've eaten, it's fertilizer when it's smashed and mixed in the soil. ”

"Sister, you know a lot." Su Jinyao praised Su Fei'er without hesitation.

Sophie also smiled and said, "These are all things that Aunt Niu just taught me, and I don't know how to farm the land." ”

"Eldest sister, from now on, our vegetable plot will be handed over to you. Your job is hard and important. Su Jinyao knew that Su Fei'er had always been unconfident and even inferior. A little more encouragement can also change her temperament.

Su Jinyao's encouragement, Su Fei'er's face also showed brilliance, pursed her lips and smiled, and concentrated on hot dishes.

Su Jinyao was helping on the side, and when she saw that Su Fei'er's gesture with a spatula was wrong, she asked, "Sister, what's wrong with your hand?" ”

"Huh? It's okay, I just accidentally burned it. Sophie looked at her hand and shook her head. Then he thought about it and said, "By the way, Jinyao, did you let your father practice walking today?" Look at the dad who fell. ”

"Hmm." Su Jinyao still blamed herself when she thought of this, and said distressedly: "I also know that I was wrong and didn't take good care of my father." However, Dad's legs really need to be exercised, otherwise it will not be good for him to continue to let the muscles continue to atrophy like this. ”

Sophie said: "But Dad's leg, even the doctor can't cure it, didn't you persuade Dad like this to give Dad hope?" If he can't stand up, what should Dad think? ”

"Isn't it okay to have hope?" Su Jinyao walked over, took the spatula from Sophie's hand, and said, "People must always have hope." Is it good for him to let his father accept reality and fate and be paralyzed on the kang for the rest of his life? Those who have hands and feet cannot live on others alone. Dad has always regarded himself as the pillar of the family, and we can't see him clearly. ”
