And Su Jinyao felt that it really made sense for her to do this. Look at Sophie's silent appearance, but she definitely still has to change her temperament. Since you still have something to say in your heart, why can't you say it thoroughly, you have to hold it in your heart, is it afraid of a dispute or afraid that you are too strong?

Anyway, Su Jinyao just thinks that it doesn't matter if there is a problem to say it, it's better than being bored. And there are always many sides to things, but things may turn out better after heated discussions. But like Sophie, half of the words are left and half are left, and she is still holding back the unhappiness in her heart, she is a little unaccustomed to it.

But when it came to this, Su Jinyao knew that she was still noisy if she talked too much, so she simply put her mind away and saw that she would slowly change this problem for Sophie in the future. Then he said: "Eldest sister, the dish is ready, let's eat." ”

"Okay, I'll bring these two dishes over and wash my hands for Daddy. Come over when you have the soup. Sophie said as she picked up the food and went back.

During the meal, Su Xiangui also asked Su Jinyao about repairing the house. Listening to his tone, he was afraid that Su Jinyao would be too tired from being busy making money all day long, and said that this house was not in a hurry to be repaired, and it would be enough to wipe the wall in winter.

Su Jinyao knew that her father cared about her, but she still didn't directly say that she still had some silver, but secretly planned to build a new house after asking the mason.

After eating, Su Jinyao still took the Xiaocheng'er endorsement as usual. Nowadays, Xiaocheng'er is making very rapid progress, and he has basically memorized the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text. Even when writing silently, there are still some words that can be written incorrectly.

In fact, this kind of achievement is already very good, after all, Xiaochenger didn't know a word before, and it is really not easy to learn so many words in such a short time, and to be able to recognize and write.

After memorizing the book, Xiao Cheng'er asked Su Jinyao again: "Second sister, I still want to ask, do you keep accounts?" ”

Su Jinyao said: "Why are you asking this?" Are you planning to be a bookkeeper in the future? You can't just make such a little bit of interest, if it's just to teach a bookkeeper, it's in vain to delay my efforts. ”

Xiao Cheng'er said: "No, no. Just now, when you and your eldest sister went to the kitchen to heat the dishes, my father asked me how well I learned to write now, and asked me if I could keep accounts. He said that I had recently brought back a lot of copper plates, and they were also fragmented, and he wanted to learn to keep accounts. However, it seems that Dad is afraid that asking you will cause you trouble, so he asked me if I would. ”

Su Jinyao listened and said, "Family, what's the trouble." Otherwise, I'll go straight to my godfather tomorrow. ”

"Second sister, do you really know how to keep accounts? Is there anything you wouldn't have? Xiao Cheng'er admired her face, and felt that the second sister seemed to know everything.

Su Jinyao said: "I don't know a lot of things, such as what the eldest sister said about fertilizing the vegetable field today, I don't understand it at all." ”

"I don't know how to grow vegetables." Xiao Cheng'er scratched his head and said with a smile.

Su Jinyao pointed out the essentials of a few words to Xiao Cheng'er, told him not to make mistakes when he was to pay attention to something, and then let Xiao Cheng'er go back to sleep.

When Xiaocheng'er went out, Su Jinyao said to him, "Do you remember what Brother Zhang said before?" Is it to let you go to the town to run a government-run school? Study hard, the second sister will go to the town to inquire about the news for you first after the two days, and when it is the tenth day of the junior high school, she will go directly to the exam. ”

"Of course I remember, but the second sister has been busy, and I didn't dare to ask." Xiao Cheng'er scratched his head and replied with a smile: "If I also go to school in the town, wouldn't you be busier left alone at home?" And what about our small water shop? I think business is really good there, and there are customers who want to stay for lunch. If you don't go back and open a restaurant on the side of the road, I'll run it well. Wait for my second sister and I to finish our house first, and then go to school. ”

Su Jinyao glared at Xiao Cheng'er and said, "You can wait for anything, but you can't wait for school." You can rest assured that you are ready to go to the school, I plan to let Chun Niu help with the matter of the small water shop. Save some money to build a few larger sheds on the side of the road, set up a few tables and chairs, and set up a stove, so that Chunniu can sell water and cook there. ”

"Give it to Aunt Chunniu." Xiao Cheng'er looked a little stupid, probably reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey Su Jinyao's intentions.

Su Jinyao touched Xiao Cheng'er's head and said, "Second sister will give you one more thing: know people and make good use of them." That is, you have to try to understand a person, and then discover his strengths and make good use of them. Think about it again, even if you have great ability, how many things can you do with one person and one pair of hands? Always have a few reliable people around, trust them, and let them do what you have planned. In this way, you can do better and better things and make your career bigger and bigger. ”

Xiao Cheng'er nodded when she heard this, and said, "That Aunt Chunniu is the person that the second sister trusts?" ”

"yes. The second sister hopes that she has not seen the wrong person. Su Jinyao nodded and did not deny it. After all, Chunniu is the first friend she made, and she is the first person she trusts outside of her own family, so letting go of Xiaoshuipu to Chunniu can be regarded as the last test.

Xiao Cheng'er didn't ask anything more, went back to his house, washed up, and then turned off the lights and went to bed.

Su Xiangui and Su Fei'er's house also turned off the lights one after another, and the night was quiet, only Su Jinyao picked up her mother's medical book codex again.

Every time she reads the medical book codex, Su Jinyao will have some different understandings. She had experimented with acupuncture before, and today she plans to study poison and Gu well.

These were originally two relatively small chapters, and it seems that the mother does not pay much attention to this aspect, and it can be guessed that the mother is not good at this aspect of things. And the detoxification article has been explained in the previous place where the medicine is used, so the content that Su Jinyao sees today is basically how to make poison.

After reading it again, Su Jinyao frowned and thought about it, thinking about what Cheng Ze had said before. He said that in the prescription he prescribed, there were several herbs that were used to repel worms, and it was likely to be used to treat Gu poison.

So, is what Gu Xuebin is poison or Gu? Or both?

"Bang" The window sash made a slight sound, Su Jinyao was stunned, and looked back at the back window. Her back window was still covered with torn clothes, so she couldn't see the shadow outside.

As soon as Su Jinyao walked over, the window sash made a "click" sound again, as if someone was knocking outside.

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled, knowing what was going on. She took off her torn clothes, pushed open the window again, and saw that Gu Xuebin was really outside. But instead of jumping into the yard, he stood outside the fence with a long branch in his hand. Presumably, he just used this branch to hit the window lattice.

"Why are you here?" Su Jinyao lowered her voice and asked.

"Just to see if you're asleep." Gu Xuebin said, glanced at Su Jinyao's house, and then said, "You are really reading." Don't hurt your eyes, go to sleep. ”

"That's what it's all about?" Su Jinyao stepped out of the window but didn't mean to go out, but asked through the fence.

Gu Xuebin threw down the branch in his hand, leaned on the fence with his two arms, poked his head in and smiled: "Well, yes, I don't want you to be too tired." ”

"Did you listen to me? Didn't I tell you to rest at home? Your body is still running around, do you want my hard work to be in vain? Su Jinyao raised her face and pretended to be serious.

Gu Xuebin hurriedly said: "I don't have it." I listened to what you said, and after a glance at you, I went back immediately. ”

"Don't take it as an example." Su Jinyao glared at Gu Xuebin, waved her hand and said, "Go back quickly." Don't run around at night until you're completely well. ”

"Oh, good." Gu Xuebin looked stupid, retracted his arm from the fence, turned around and prepared to go up the mountain. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "The quilt is really warm." ”

"Well, I know it's warm." Su Jinyao smiled. She thinks Gu Xuebin is a little reluctant, and it looks very interesting.

"Jin Yao, I'll call you Jin Yao in the future." Gu Xuebin said again. It seems that he clearly doesn't want to leave, and he can say a few more words.

Su Jinyao gave him a blank look, nodded, and waved her hand again.

Gu Xuebin had to turn his head and walk back again.

As he was walking, he heard Su Jinyao suddenly lower her voice behind him and call him, "Gu Xuebin, wait a minute." ”

"Anything else?" Gu Xuebin hurriedly stopped and looked back, his eyes full of anticipation. I saw Su Jinyao jumping out of the fence and walking towards him. Gu Xuebin smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" Worried about me? I know the way back. ”

"This one is for you, one spoonful a day, remember to eat it." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she stuffed the jar of royal jelly into Gu Xuebin's hand, and then said: "Also, this is not allowed to be sent back, this can be regarded as a medicine I prescribed to you." Be sure to remember to eat it, and then think about it when you're done. ”

"Okay." Gu Xuebin held the jar containing royal jelly, and when he saw that Su Jinyao no longer paid attention to him, he used his light skills and jumped up the mountain.

Su Jinyao returned to the house and closed the window, but looked out through the crack in the window. It wasn't until Gu Xuebin's figure disappeared that he smiled and hung up the torn clothes again.

I have to say that Gu Xuebin's doing this still made Su Jinyao feel quite heartwarming. obviously knew that he came to see him on purpose, but Su Jinyao couldn't keep him, and he couldn't overstep the rules, so he could only deal with it lightly.

Returning to the small table and sitting down, Su Jinyao picked up the medical book and read it for a while and was sleepy, so she washed up and went to sleep.

The next morning, Su Jinyao got up and saw Su Fei'er turning the ground in the front yard with a hoe, her movements were a little clumsy, but she should be very happy to see the smile on her face.

Su Jinyao tied up her hair, washed her face again, and came out and said, "Eldest sister, you are really diligent, you started turning the ground so early." ”

"yes." Sophie raised her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "I plan to turn over these two large areas in the front yard today and plant the seeds in the evening." I asked Aunt Niu, it's not too late to grow vegetables now, and they grow very fast, and it is estimated that most of the vegetables can be eaten in more than two months. There are also leafy vegetables that can be eaten in more than a month. ”

Seeing that Sophie's interest was so high, Su Jinyao couldn't help but want to help, so she asked, "Do you still have a hoe?" I'll help you turn the floor. ”

"No, we're just a hoe. Originally, the wooden handle was broken, but I went to the backyard in the morning to pick up a branch and straighten it and replace it with it. Sophie said, "Go to dinner quickly, breakfast is cooked on the stove." You can send your father's food over too, and I'll turn over this piece of land before eating." ”

Su Jinyao agreed and went to the kitchen. didn't forget to poke his head out and say to Sophie: "Eldest sister, I think you should hurry up and eat." If you don't eat, you don't have the strength to work. ”

Sophie said, "No, it'll be right away." When I went back, I had to dig a pit in the backyard, and put all the leaves in it for picking vegetables, which could be used as fertilizer after fermentation. ”

Since Sophie said so, Su Jinyao could only let her. However, Sophie's motivation is high, and her work is also neat, and she can see that she is indeed used to hard work.

Su Jinyao sent the food to Su Xiangui, and Xiaocheng'er also got up. When I saw Sophie turning the ground, I also praised it for a while. Xiaocheng'er's mouth is skillful, and Sophie is also coaxed to laugh "hehe". The courtyard was filled with laughter in the morning, but it was very warm.

After the meal, Su Jinyao washed the dishes, and Sophie went out to turn the floor again.

Su Jinyao remembered that she and Gu Xuebin agreed to build an oven, so she said to Su Fei'er: "Sister, you work harder, work at home, I still have some things to do." It's been done in the past two days, and I have to go into the city. If the research is successful this time, our family can still have a large income. ”

"Can you?" Sophie pouted and asked with a smile: "Jinyao, you can make money so much, the eldest sister feels panicked in her heart." Our family is now supported by you alone, and I am not as close as you in my work. You can rest more, so that the eldest sister can also help a little. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "I'm not tired, all I earn is pretty money." Besides, if you have too much silver, you're afraid of pricking your hands. ”

After Su Jinyao and Sophie finished talking, she waved her hand to Xiao Cheng'er again, signaling him not to talk nonsense. Xiao Cheng'er immediately understood, and squeezed his eyes at Su Jinyao, indicating that he understood. Su Jinyao ran out with a smile on her face.

"Xiao Cheng'er, what are you doing mysteriously with your second sister? I saw her go out and waved to you. Sophie just saw the sister and brother secretly handing over their expressions, so she asked curiously.

Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly said: "It's nothing, the second sister is lazy, and she doesn't want to turn over the ground, so she goes to the mountains to pick fruits." When we go back and sell it, we can make a lot of money. ”

Sophie said, "Can the fruit from our mountain be sold for a good price?" You siblings must have something to worry about. The eldest sister asked you, what are you doing when you run out every day and come back with the money in two or three hours? If there is really any good deal, call the eldest sister. It's good for our family to have a foil, and I also make money to save my dowry. ”

"Yo you, don't be ashamed, the eldest sister is going to save the dowry now?" Xiaocheng'er hooked his face, ashamed of Sophie.

Sophie's face also turned red, and she spat Xiaocheng'er and said, "What are you ashamed of, it's just that." I'm not too young, and the girls in my village who are about the same age as me have begun to save for dowries, and some of them have already been engaged, and I'm not afraid to say that this is the right thing. Besides, I have to save money for you to marry a daughter-in-law. There are many girls of the same age as you in our village, but who knows if they will be virtuous when they grow up, and whether they can live a good life. If our family's life is better, I will ask a matchmaker to go to other villages to tell you about your relatives, one in a hundred, one in a thousand, and the eldest sister will have to marry you a good daughter-in-law. ”

Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly covered his ears and shouted, "If you don't listen to this, how old am I, are you thinking about kissing me?" I want to test the fame of the person, maybe I can be an official in the future. My heart is also high, don't say it's one in a thousand, the girl who doesn't look right, and I don't want one in a million. ”

After saying that, Xiaocheng'er also ran out. Ran out of the door and shouted through the fence: "Dad, I'm out too." The second sister said that she would teach you to keep accounts, so you can wait for her to come back and ask her. ”

Su Xiangui poked his head out of the window and agreed. But the small town has already run away.

Sophie put down the hoe, walked to the side and drank a few sips of water, and then said to Su Xiangui: "Dad, look at the two of them, one runs, and the two also run, isn't what I'm talking about serious?" Go back and see if it's time to plan a family affair for Jinyao? ”

"Don't be in a hurry, Jin Yao is only eleven. Wait another two years, and she will pick it herself. Su Xiangui smiled: "It's you, Fei'er, you really like that kid from the Chen family?" ”

"Daddy......" Sophie's face turned red again, and she lowered her head and said nothing.

Su Xiangui saw Sophie like this, and knew that she was willing from the bottom of her heart. He said, "Fei'er, my father didn't dare to think about this before. But now that our family is getting better and better, maybe you and Changliang can still succeed. I'll find a matchmaker to tell you about it. You're thirteen, it's time to get engaged. ”

Sophie's eyes lit up, and she ran into the house with a red face. But he still said: "Listen to Dad." I have no words. ”

"This kid." Su Xiangui looked at Sophie's back and smiled.

Su Jinyao ran all the way out and went straight to the cave where she was going to build the oven yesterday. She didn't know if Gu Xuebin would come at this time, but she always felt like a cat scratching in her heart, afraid that Gu Xuebin would be busy here alone, and that she would not be able to help if she came late.

From afar, I saw Gu Xuebin squatting outside the cave, looking at the ground intently, not knowing what he was pondering.

Su Jinyao hurriedly ran over and asked, "Gu Xuebin, why did you come so early?" Have you had breakfast? ”

Gu Xuebin turned his head when he heard Su Jinyao's voice, and said with a slight smile: "After eating, I have a habit of getting up early in my practice." ”

"Yes, just eat it. I see you squatting, what are you pondering? Su Jinyao walked over and saw Gu Xuebin drawing several oven patterns on the ground. Each one also has an internal diagram of the analysis, which is very clear.

Gu Xuebin explained: "I'm wondering which of these styles of ovens is more convenient. First of all, you have to be able to control the fire, you have to be able to heat it evenly, and you have to be easy to reach. Otherwise, the fire will burn here, and the stove will be very hot, and it will be easy to get injured if it is not convenient to take it. ”

Su Jinyao looked at the pattern on the ground and couldn't help but praise: "You are really thoughtful about what you think." I was going to build a big stove like a stove and just roast the duck in it. ”

"You want roast duck?" Gu Xuebin was slightly surprised.
