The basket of vegetables on the ground was kicked over.

At this time, Xiao Cheng'er's voice came from outside the door, "Eldest sister, second sister, I'm back." Are you ready? I am hungry. ”

Su Jinyao didn't say anything, and she didn't hear Sophie's answer.

After a while, Xiao Cheng'er tied up the goat and ran to the kitchen, saying, "What about people? Have you cooked? ”

Xiao Cheng'er entered the kitchen, and saw that the vegetable basket on the ground was overturned, and Su Jinyao stood there with her cheeks puffed out, with an indignant look on her face. Xiao Cheng'er was puzzled: "Hey, second sister, what's wrong with you?" What about the eldest sister? ”

Su Jinyao was asked by Xiaocheng'er like this, and she felt aggrieved. As soon as she pulled Xiaocheng'er to her side, she hugged her into her arms.

Xiaocheng'er is still young, and his shoulders are too narrow to bear Su Jinyao's grievances. So Su Jinyao didn't cry, and it wasn't worth crying. I just feel that I can't let out my anger, so I want to find a shoulder to lean on, which can be regarded as a relief.

Xiao Cheng'er was stunned, didn't know what to do, and stiffened his body and was hugged by Su Jinyao. After a long time, he asked: "Second sister, did the eldest sister make you angry again?" ”

Hearing Xiao Cheng'er ask this, Su Jinyao smiled instead, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know it's the eldest sister?" ”

Xiao Cheng'er shook his head and analyzed: "I'm not at home, of course it's not me." Besides, if I were at home, I would definitely make the second sister happy. It won't be Dad, Dad's most painful thing is you, so it must be the eldest sister. ”

Su Jinyao thought about it, but shook her head and said, "It's not your eldest sister, she doesn't have that scheming." Someone must be out there instigating her. If I had known, I wouldn't have made her any better. ”

Xiao Cheng'er stuck out his tongue, struggled out of Su Jinyao's arms and said, "Okay, you go find the bad guys outside." I'll pick the vegetables, I'll stir-fry the vegetables, I'll cook, you wait to eat the ready-made. ”

After saying that, Xiaoshu squatted down, pulled the small bench over and sat down, and began to pick vegetables seriously.

Su Jinyao watched Xiaocheng'er pick vegetables, so she also squatted down to help, and most of the anger in her heart disappeared.

But I don't know why, since Sophie entered Su Xiangui's house, she didn't seem to talk much. Anyway, I didn't hear Su Fei'er crying, nor did I hear Su Xiangui scolding, let alone ask Su Jinyao to come over.

Until the dishes were picked, Su Jinyao's anger was gone. Then he ordered: "Xiaocheng'er, you wash the vegetables, I'll make an egg cake first." After a while, the dishes are washed and cut, and I will fry them in the pan again. ”

"Second sister, aren't you angry? Do you need me to go to my father's house and ask? See what the eldest sister has to say about you? Xiao Cheng'er's face was eccentric, and it was clearly biased towards Su Jinyao's side.

Su Jinyao shook her head and smiled: "Forget it, it's not a big deal." It was she who was instigated by others to make trouble with me, and I didn't suppress the fire, so I gave her a slap. After all, it's not right to beat someone, let alone do it with your own family. ”

Xiao Cheng'er nodded, gave Su Jinyao a thumbs up again, and said, "My second sister is generous, she can see it so much." When I went back, I found out who instigated the relationship between our family, and also made their family restless. ”

The sister and brother were out of breath, so they talked and laughed and began to cook.

And Sophie was still in Su Xiangui's house, looking at her father with a shocked face, a little unable to believe what her father had just said to her.

Sophie couldn't believe what her father said to her before, and couldn't help but ask again, "Dad, is what you said true?" Jinyao, she ......"

"Phil." Su Xiangui intercepted Su Fei'er's words and said in a low voice: "The three of you sisters and brothers are two years apart, but you are four years older than Cheng'er." Cheng'er was still young at the time, and he was still wrapped in a quilt, so it was impossible to remember it. But you were four years old at the time, so you didn't have any impression at all? ”

"I'm ......," Sophie frowned as she recalled, then nodded silently.

"Only our family knows about this, but we have never told outsiders." Su Xiangui pulled Su Fei'er, let her sit on the edge of the kang, smoothed her hair, looked at the slap marks on her face, and said, "Dad told you to make it clear today, I want you to know that Dad is not biased towards Jin Yao, nor is it that Jin Yao and Dad have any intentions to go to that book." It's because her mother is kind to our Su family, and that book is also something that her mother left to Jinyao, and it is not our Su family. ”

"Yes, I see. Dad, Jinyao is my own sister, I shouldn't fight with her. After Sophie finished speaking, she touched her cheeks, which were already red and swollen, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I didn't suffer this slap, Jinyao she hit right." What's more, she has done so much for our family now, and our Su family owes her. ”

"Shhh ”

Sophie nodded, indicating that she understood. He also promised: "Dad, I will rot in my stomach about this matter, you can rest assured." ”

"That's good, you are all sisters who grew up together, you have to get along well. Jinyao is still young after all, you are the eldest sister, you have to let her more. After Su Xiangui finished speaking, he said to Nunu outside: "Jinyao and Cheng'er are already cooking, you can also go and help." ”

Sophie nodded, got up and walked out.

Su Xiangui thought about it and stopped her and said, "Fei'er, Dad still wants to tell you that Dad won't want any money from Jinyao's money." Now it's all saved for her, and it will be her dowry in the future. After all, Dad's leg is paralyzed, and he can't make any more money to save a dowry for you, so it's up to you. ”

Sophie listened, pursed her lips, and didn't speak for a long time. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yesterday, Jin Yao told me that I would find Aunt Niu to learn how to grow vegetables." I'll turn over the open space in the front and back yards, and then buy some vegetable seeds and plant them. In the future, I will take care of my father while growing vegetables and selling them for money. ”

"Well, good, good boy. You're all good boys. Su Xiangui nodded with comfort, feeling that his eyes were moist again.

Sophie walked out of Su Xiangui's room with her head down, took a deep breath, and felt that the burden on her shoulders was still so heavy. Looking at the light in the kitchen again, touching his still red and swollen face, he smiled bitterly and walked in.

"Big sister." When the little city heard the sound of the door, he looked up and saw Sophie coming in. Originally, he wanted to help Su Jinyao say a few words, but seeing the slap marks on Su Fei'er's face, Xiao Cheng'er was also distressed, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Su Jinyao was serving vegetables outside, and when she heard Xiaocheng'er call her "eldest sister", her heart was in a panic. I wanted to go out after the food, and not meet Sophie, it was better to wait until they finished eating before eating themselves.

Unexpectedly, Su Fei'er walked straight over, reached out and took the spatula in Su Jinyao's hand, and said, "I'll serve the dishes." I was talking to my dad just now, and I didn't help with the cooking. After speaking, Su Fei'er looked at Su Jinyao, who didn't speak and looked embarrassed, and said in an astringent voice: "Jinyao, are you still blaming the eldest sister for worrying about you?" The eldest sister is really wrong, you played well. However, I also fight, eldest sister, I hope you don't care. Sister, when you are a child, is it okay not to hold grudges? ”

Su Jinyao originally put the spatula and was about to leave, but when she heard Sophie suddenly say these words, she stood still.

"What? Still angry? Seeing that Su Jinyao was silent and only looked at herself, Sophie bent her eyes and smiled at the corners of her mouth, and said, "Okay, don't be angry." Didn't you just say that we are a family and sisters, so we can't really turn our faces and hold grudges because of a small quarrel. ”

Su Jinyao really hasn't reacted to Sophie's transformation yet. But looking at Sophie's eyes, it didn't seem like she was thinking badly.

Su Jinyao also knew that Sophie's brain was not so tortuous, and her heart and eyes were not so bad; It's that the roots of the ears are soft, and I can't listen to the instigation of outsiders, so there is the one just now.

Su Jinyao was pondering, but before she could speak, and she didn't know how to say a few words to Sophie Er that would ease up, Xiao Cheng'er ran over, grabbed Su Fei'er's hand and said, "Eldest sister, you are right." We are a family, and no one will hold grudges. Tell me who instigated behind your back, and I'll settle accounts with her. Give her a slap in the face on both sides and sides. ”

Xiao Cheng'er's words relieved Su Jinyao's embarrassment, and also threw her a word. Su Jinyao took advantage of the situation and said: "Yes, eldest sister, you are soft-eared and love to listen to what others say." You tell me who is so bad-hearted, and Xiao Cheng'er and I will settle accounts with her. ”

"Nobody, it's just my own small heart and thinking about it randomly." Sophie hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Jin Yao, since you don't blame me, that's fine." We're still good sisters, and I won't quarrel with you in the future. If I can't help but lose my temper, you'll slap me in the face too. ”

At this point, no one can lose their temper anymore. Xiao Cheng'er picked up another one with one hand, laughing stupidly, even if Su Jinyao was angry, she endured it for the sake of the harmony of this family.

After the meal was ready, it was still served to Su Xiangui's house to eat. Su Xiangui didn't even mention Su Fei'er and his complaint, and he didn't ask Su Jinyao why she beat Su Fei'er. This is clearly giving children a space to take matters into their own hands.

Su Jinyao appreciated Su Xiangui's tolerance very much, otherwise she really didn't know how to answer when asked by her father why she beat her eldest sister.

After the meal, because of the previous conflict, they still had a pimple in their hearts, so they didn't say anything more, and Su Jinyao planned to go back to the house.

Xiao Cheng'er cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and followed Su Jinyao over, and said, "Second sister, you are so forgetful, did you forget to promise me something?" ”

"Huh? What did I promise you? Because of Sophie's matter, Su Jinyao's mood was not too good, so she really didn't think about it for a while.

Xiao Cheng'er smiled, pointed to the idle room next to Su Xiangui, and said, "You promised to put a small bed next door to my father." ”

After Xiao Cheng'er finished speaking, Su Jinyao remembered that she had indeed said such a thing, and said that she would build a kang for him by the way when he repaired the house in the future. And when I went to Chunniu's house today, Xiaocheng'er also said that she wanted to learn to build a kang with Siping, but Su Jinyao didn't think about it.

Su Jinyao patted her head and said, "It's really the second sister who forgot." I'm sorry, Xiaocheng'er, the second sister will go and help you build a bed now, and then lay out the futon for you. ”

Xiao Cheng'er nodded and said, "It's about the same, it's a second sister who talks a lot." ”

After speaking, he pulled Su Jinyao to the small slab shed in the backyard where he put sundries. As he walked, he said: "I have chosen all the planks, and the second sister is just doing me a favor." ”

The two sisters and brothers came to the small slab shed together, and sure enough, they saw several wooden planks placed vertically in the slab shed, which should have been selected by Xiao Cheng'er before.

Su Jinyao asked: "But just a few planks, and we are not carpenters, how can we make a bed for you?" Otherwise, you can wait another day, and ask the eldest sister to help you find a carpenter back tomorrow. ”

"Cut, underestimate people." Xiao Cheng'er actually glanced at Su Jinyao, and then said, "Second sister, just help me carry the plank." You'll know when the time comes. ”

Su Jinyao smiled, "Okay, I'll see what you do." Now I'm only in charge of hands-on, and everything is under your command. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao helped Xiao Cheng'er lift the largest plank, and the two of them began to transport it to the house.

Su Xiangui and Su Fei'er both heard the movement, and Su Xiangui looked at the window and asked, "Cheng'er, what are you doing here?" Don't toss it for the big night. ”

Sophie also came out and asked, "yes, what are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Cheng'er shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just work with my second sister." Sister, go wash your clothes. Dad, close the window and rest. It's night, don't make baskets, beware of tired eyes. ”

This is what Su Jinyao often tells Xiao Cheng'er, and now listening to him say it to Su Xiangui decently, Su Jinyao can't help but laugh. also said: "Yes, I'll just do it with Xiaocheng'er, it's not a big project, I guess it will be done in a while." ”

The two sisters and brothers continued to carry the plank into the room next to Su Xiangui. As soon as she entered, Su Jinyao saw that the floor in the house had been swept clean, and there were several stones of similar height by the wall inside.

As soon as she saw this posture, Su Jinyao thought of the simple wooden bed where Gu Xuebin was asleep, and also understood what kind of bed Xiaocheng'er was going to build.

I don't know why, as soon as she saw that Xiaocheng'er was going to be like this, Su Jinyao's heart was astringent for a while.

After moving the remaining planks and leveling them on the stones one by one, Su Jinyao turned her head and walked out.

Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly shouted: "Second sister, are you leaving?" Help me hold on, I've got a few more nails. Otherwise, what should I do if I turn over at night and the bed board falls apart? ”

Su Jinyao turned around and came back and asked, "Do you still have to nail it?" I do not know. I thought that would be the case, and I was going to go back into the house and bring you my mattress to spread so that you could be softer. ”

Xiao Cheng'er stuck out her tongue and said, "It turns out that the second sister is so caring. Okay, hold it out first, I'll be done nailing it in no time. ”

Xiaocheng'er is also a good hand at work, and with a small hammer "clanging" a few times, these planks are nailed firmly. Then he pulled Su Jinyao to sit on it, and said, "What's the matter, second sister, it's still strong, right?" ”

Su Jinyao nodded and praised: "Well, sturdy, my brother is really capable." You deal with it like this first, the second sister will not forget this time, and she must find someone to repair the house as soon as possible, and then build a strong and warm kang for you again. ”

"Second sister, aren't you very smart, why didn't you see it?" Xiao Cheng'er sat on the bed board, and asked with a smile.

"What? What do you see? Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Xiao Cheng'er's words.

Xiao Cheng'er laughed twice again before saying, "I'm afraid that the second sister won't be able to sleep and feel uncomfortable in the house." My eldest sister and I haven't been in the same room for a day or two, but I'm not in a hurry for this time. ”

After listening to Xiao Cheng'er, Su Jinyao's heart trembled, and she hugged Xiao Cheng'er in her arms. slapped him twice on the back and said, "Bad boy, let the second sister be so heartwarming." It turns out that you are afraid that the second sister is small-minded and narrow-minded? Don't worry, the second sister has long forgotten the unpleasant things before. ”

Su Jinyao really didn't expect Xiaocheng'er to be so thoughtful and considerate. This emotion is really not something that can be expressed.

Xiao Cheng'er was hugged by Su Jinyao, and her throat was a little choked. A pair of small hands wrapped around Su Jinyao's waist and said in a trembling voice: "The second sister also has the same taste as her mother's mother, and the second sister is the most like her mother's mother." ”

"Stinky boy, don't stick your snot to me." Su Jinyao was embarrassed to push away the small city, but she was actually a little unaccustomed to such a true expression.

But looking at Xiao Cheng'er's big bright eyes, he couldn't help but pull Xiao Cheng'er into his arms, and slapped it twice before letting go.

"Alright, the bed board is also set up, and I can sleep when the bed is made. Second sister, you also go to bed early, since there is nothing to be unhappy about, you should be able to fall asleep soon. After Xiao Cheng'er finished speaking, he took the initiative to let go of Su Jinyao and went out to Su Fei'er's house to hug his futon.

Su Jinyao also came out, returned to her house, took out her best mattress, and went to lay it out for Xiaocheng'er.

Xiaocheng'er came back first, and when she saw that Su Jinyao also came over with a mattress, she hurriedly said, "No need, second sister, I have enough bedding." I'm a boy, and I'm hard-boned; You are a girl, your body is soft, and you are most afraid of it, so hurry up and take it back and lay it for yourself. ”

Su Jinyao didn't say anything, just walked over and put her own mattress on Xiaocheng'er, set up the pillows, rolled up the quilt, and said, "Didn't you say that the second sister has the smell of motherhood?" Then lend you my mattress to sleep on. When the second sister comes back with a new futon, let's get a new one. ”

"Hey, okay." Xiao Cheng'er knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he simply took off his shoes and jumped on the bed.

The small plank bed is not very high, and it is not very stable. Fortunately, Xiaocheng'er is still young and light, so he will be stable when he sleeps.

Seeing that Xiaocheng'er was about to sleep, Su Jinyao also retreated. But she stood in the courtyard, looked up and looked back and forth several adobe houses of the Su family, and was already thinking about how to repair the house in her heart.

I always say "I have money, I have money", and if I have money, I will do whatever I want. Now I finally have some silver, but I promised to lend the money to Chunniu. Although Su Jinyao has never regretted helping Chunniu, she also feels that it is not unreasonable for Sophie to lose her temper, and she doesn't seem to be doing so well.
