The next day, Su Jinyao deliberately got up early in the morning. But she still didn't precede Sophie, when Su Jinyao got up, Sophie was already in the yard, combing her hair with a wooden comb that had lost her teeth.

Su Jinyao walked over, handed over the bronze mirror in her hand, and said, "Eldest sister, this bronze mirror was actually bought for you." It's just that I came back late that day, so I forgot to take it out. ”

Su Fei'er looked at the bronze mirror in Su Jinyao's hand and didn't answer it, pursed her lips and said, "Jinyao, it was really the eldest sister's fault yesterday, if you do this again, the eldest sister will have no face to stay in this house." ”

"It's not." Su Jinyao shook her head and said with a smile: "This mirror is quite peculiar, you look good when you take it, but it won't look so good when I take it." When I sold mirrors, I thought this mirror was quite suitable for you, so I bought it for you. If you don't accept it, others won't be as suitable as you. ”

Sophie froze, and her gaze turned to the bronze mirror. Truth be told, she really likes it. But because the family was poor, my mother used to have a gilt silver mirror, but later sold it, and since then the family has only been reflected with water from the basin, and she is almost unable to remember the feeling of looking in the mirror at the beginning.

Su Jinyao sent the bronze mirror in her hand forward again, and said, "Eldest sister, you can take a photo and try it, it is really good-looking." ”

Sophie hesitated to take it and shine it on her face. The girl reflected in the mirror is not a first-class beauty, but she is also delicate and lovely. The facial features are also well-proportioned and exquisite, but the skin is slightly coarse, but fortunately, the complexion is good.

Sophie touched her face in the mirror, and the people in the mirror also touched her face; And the hair is smooth, and the person in the mirror is also smooth to the hair. The light is much clearer and more real than looking at yourself from the basin.

Su Fei'er's hands trembled a little with excitement for a while, and then she looked up at Su Jinyao and said, "Jinyao, thank you, this mirror...... It's so beautiful. ”

"It's not that the mirror is good-looking, it's the eldest sister in the mirror who is good-looking." Su Jinyao walked behind Su Fei'er, looked at the two sisters in the mirror with her, and said with a smile: "Go back and replace this broken wooden comb with a new one, and buy you some hairpins, pendants or something, it will look better to dress up." Now that the days are good, don't settle for what our family eats, eat more vegetables, drink more soup, and raise everyone for a while. ”

Sophie nodded, her eyes red. turned around and hugged Su Jinyao, and said in a trembling voice: "Jinyao, it's really the eldest sister who is wrong, the eldest sister is small-minded and calculates too much." What are you...... What kind of virtue is this? The eldest sister promises not to be angry with you in the future, and if there is anything wrong with the eldest sister, you will still slap me in the mouth. ”

Su Jinyao patted Su Fei'er on the back and said with a smile: "That's called 'complaining with virtue', not the injustice of revenge." Besides, we are sisters, what kind of hatred, what kind of resentment, this word is not appropriate. We won't quarrel in the future, and if we still quarrel when the days are good, we will show people jokes. ”

"Well, I know. In fact, the eldest sister just feels that she is useless, and it is too uncomfortable to be idle every day. Su Fei'er let go of Su Jinyao, looked at the mirror in her hand and said, "I'll go to Aunt Niu today to learn how to grow vegetables, and when I go back, I will plant vegetables in the front yard and backyard, and I can also make money to support my family." When the time comes, the eldest sister will give you a box of the best rouge. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait." Su Jinyao nodded, looking very serious.

Sophie also smiled, looking at Su Jinyao's guilt, feeling that this sister was really good and had nothing to say.

Su Jinyao said: "Sister, wash up, I'll cook this morning." I'm full, and I'm going to go out. I might be back later today, so you still don't have to wait for me. In particular, I told Xiaocheng'er not to pick me up at the head of the village, maybe I would take a shortcut and climb the mountain to come back. ”

Sophie agreed one by one, hurriedly tied her hair, and went into the kitchen to add fire to the stove and help Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao also washed her face, washed her hands, and was already washing rice and preparing to cook a red bean porridge. Red beans and rice, Jiang rice are boiled and then add some sugar, fragrant, sweet, and soft and glutinous.

Xiao Cheng'er was almost awakened by the fragrance of red bean glutinous rice porridge, and rubbed his eyes and went into the kitchen, saying: "I said why did I smell so fragrant this morning, it turned out that the second sister was making breakfast." ”

"Yes, what your second sister makes is fragrant, and what your eldest sister makes is to make do with it, right?" Sophie asked Xiao Cheng'er as she added firewood and boiled a pot of water.

Xiao Cheng'er pursed her lips and grinned: "Eldest sister, are you burning the fire under the stove?" I thought you weren't up yet. Didn't see it. ”

"If you don't see it, you say that the second sister is good, and when you see it, you should say that I'm good, right?" Sophie asked with a smile.

Xiao Cheng'er nodded and said, "Yes, the eldest sister is good, if the second sister didn't cook without the eldest sister adding firewood, this porridge would be so fragrant." It's a good heat. ”

Sophie and Su Jinyao both laughed after hearing this. Su Jinyao pushed Xiaocheng'er and said, "Xiaozui, you really know how to speak." Okay, when you get up, wash and eat. ”

This and beautiful scene in the morning made people feel warm, and Su Xiangui heard the two daughters and their sons talking with a smile in the kitchen, and also showed a smile.

After breakfast, Su Jinyao packed up her things and prepared to go out again. Today she plans to bring all the money she earned the day before to see if there is any big deal. In addition, he also picked a few baskets made by Su Xiangui and took them with him, and he was also going to find a special market.

Xiao Cheng'er said: "Second sister, do you need me to send you?" It's not heavy to carry these baskets, but it's not easy to carry. ”

Su Jinyao said: "It's okay, these baskets are wrapped in a wrapper, and I'll just carry them on my back." When I arrived in Dazhang Village, there was a car. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she found a big baggage skin, wrapped a few baskets and carried them behind her back. Because these baskets are not ordinary shapes and cannot be neatly put together, they seem to have a big baggage, almost wider than Su Jinyao.

Xiao Cheng'er smiled when he saw it: "I don't know, I thought that our family abused the second sister, and let her carry such a big burden to the city to sell it in the morning." ”

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Yes, it's not easy to know your second sister." You remember to read and memorize, and I'll take the exam in the evening. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao and Su Xiangui said a word and went out.

People in the village don't go into the city all day, and even if they do, very few do. So when she saw Su Jinyao walking out of the village again, someone asked from afar: "The second girl of the Su family, go out again?" Seeing that you are so busy all day long, have you made any money? ”

Su Jinyao looked back, and the person who asked was an old man, who just felt familiar and didn't recognize it. But looking at the old man's face, he was very kind, and the tone of the question was not mean, but seemed to be caring. He replied, "I will sell the baskets that my father has made." hasn't sold it yet, how do you know if it's profitable. ”

The old man sighed and said, "Alas, it's not easy for the little girl's family to support her family. Be careful on the road, and when you go back to buy oil, let my wife give you a cheaper price. ”

Su Jinyao then remembered that the old man who asked should be Old Man Chen, the one who opened the oil mill. And his mother-in-law Chen looks like a very powerful and upright person, but what she says is the way and she has a lot of backbone. Su Jinyao has a good impression of Mrs. Chen, and she naturally has a good impression of this old man Chen.

Su Jinyao just smiled and said, "Then thank you Uncle Chen." ”

"Hey, okay." Old man Chen waved his hand at Su Jinyao, turned around and walked in the direction of the oil mill.

Su Jinyao looked at Old Man Chen's slightly rickety back, but felt that there were still a lot of good people. The phrase "be careful on the road" shows this concern and sincerity.

was in a good mood, and Su Jinyao's steps were a lot brisker. After a while, he left the village and turned into the mountain road.

There is no one on the same road with Su Jinyao today, and Su Jinyao is also clean. I couldn't help but walk and hum a song at the same time.

Turning a corner, Su Jinyao was walking, and she felt the wind behind her ears. Something was gut feeling coming from the right rear.

Su Jinyao's body flashed quickly, dodging this blow, and then her body was tightly attached to the mountain wall, hiding her figure, and only looking sideways in the direction of what had just called.

The first thing I saw was a small pebble rolling on the ground, the smallest one the size of the belly of the little finger. And it rolled around when it fell to the ground, so it should be that the force of the blow is not great.

Su Jinyao wrinkled her brows and thought about it, it shouldn't be that someone wanted to plot against her, so she slowly poked her head out and looked back. There was no one in the rear, but according to the direction of the blow, the person should be above.

And Su Jinyao looked up again, and saw two legs hanging down on a small raised stone platform in the middle of the cliff, Gu Xuebin was sitting on it with a smile, looking at Su Jinyao.

"Why are you here?" Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, walked out of the invisible place, looked up and asked, "Doesn't your body hurt?" Why climb so high? ”

"Alright." Gu Xuebin responded, and then jumped straight down from the stone platform.

From the cliff in the middle of the mountain to the ground, it was as high as a three-story building, and Gu Xuebin's direct jump scared Su Jinyao's heart, and he subconsciously took a step forward.

Gu Xuebin had already landed firmly on the ground, stepped forward and glanced at Su Jinyao, and asked with a smile, "Are you worried about me?" ”

"Yes, I'm afraid that you will fall to your death, and no one will give me practice. I've just learned medicine, and it's useless. Su Jinyao glared at Gu Xuebin stiffly.

However, when the distance is closer, you can see that Gu Xuebin's face is still pale, and the corners of his forehead are slightly sweaty, it should not be completely good, most of them are just holding on.

Su Jinyao stretched out her hand and grabbed Gu Xuebin's wrist, and squeezed it slightly, Gu Xuebin didn't break free when he wanted to.

Su Jinyao snorted, held his elbow with her other hand, and said, "Don't move, check your pulse." ”

Gu Xuebin was honest at this time, standing obediently and not moving, but his eyes were staring at Su Jinyao with a little nervousness.

After a while, Su Jinyao frowned and said, "Do you know that holding on like this will hurt your body a lot?" Can't you just lie at home and wait for me? When I came back in the evening, I had medicine to eat. ”

"I can't lie down." Gu Xuebin flattened his mouth, his handsome appearance was a little childish, and he was particularly cute.

Su Jinyao wanted to pinch his face, but then she thought that this kid was actually very arrogant, so she endured it and didn't do it. Just said: "Okay, now the doctor has spoken, let you go home and rest in bed, and wait for me to come back with medicine in the evening." But until I come back, you are not allowed to move except in the hut. And breakfast, lunch, and dinner should be eaten well. ”

"Oh, got it." Although Gu Xuebin said that he "got it", he didn't mean to turn around and leave, his eyes looked at the big burden behind Su Jinyao, and asked, "What's in this?" Is it heavy or not? Otherwise, I'll send you to Dazhang Village. ”

"It's just a few baskets, looking at the space, it's not heavy at all." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she suddenly raised her eyebrows and approached Gu Xuebin and asked, "Are you worried about me too?" ”

"Cut, I'm afraid you're tired to death, and no one will treat me." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he turned around to leave. However, after walking a few steps and looking back, he saw that Su Jinyao was still looking at him, so he asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

"I just want to ask, why are you here?" Su Jinyao vaguely felt in her heart that Gu Xuebin was waiting for her here on purpose.

Gu Xuebin stopped and seemed to be thinking about something, turned around after a while, took out something wrapped in leaves from his body, handed it to Su Jinyao and said, "Actually, I know that you entered the city today and sent this to you." ”

Su Jinyao saw that this bag of things was taken out of Gu Xuebin's body, so she asked, "Then why didn't you give it to me directly just now, but you had to walk a few steps and then give it back?" Are you shy and embarrassed to take it out directly? Waiting for me to call you? ”

After Gu Xuebin heard Su Jinyao's words, his handsome face turned red all of a sudden, and without waiting for Su Jinyao to ask him what it was, he stuffed the leaves into Su Jinyao's hand, jumped up the cliff.

Su Jinyao watched Gu Xuebin jump and disappear into the shadow, and then opened the leaf bag in his hand. And I saw that the bread in it turned out to be a beehive. Very fresh honeycomb with a sweet scent of honey and pollen.

Su Jinyao's heart was sweeter, sweeter than eating the honey in this hive. looked in the direction Gu Xuebin had left, and regardless of whether he could hear it or not, he shouted loudly: "Remember to wait for me to come back." ”

There was an echo from the mountain wall, and it was a series of "obediently wait for me to come back" and "wait for me to come back......

In a good mood, Su Jinyao walks very energetically. She has never been in love, and she doesn't know what it means to be in love, but she feels that this kind of ignorant feelings makes people feel very comfortable, and she still has some expectations in her heart.

When I came to Dazhang Village, two carriages were already waiting there. Su Jinyao had made an appointment with the second bolt to charter a car today, so there was no one in the second bolt's car.

Seeing Su Jinyao coming, the second bolt also greeted him and said, "Girl, it's quite early today." Do you want to go now? ”

Su Jinyao got into the car and said, "Well, let's go." It's still the same way, go straight to the city. ”

The second bolt also jumped into the car, greeted Uncle Wang, who was still waiting for the guests next to him, and drove the car on the road.

The weather was nice today, and the road conditions were much better than last time, so the carriage went fast. In addition, Su Jinyao was also in a good mood, so she had already seen the city gate without feeling anything.

Su Jinyao said to Erzhuo: "You better send me into the city." Just let me down from the same place last time, and the time will be about the same as last time, and I'll go there to find you when the time comes. ”

The second bolt agreed. It's business as usual.

When they arrived at the location, the second bolt stopped the carriage and asked Su Jinyao to get down, Su Jinyao gave the car money first, and went straight to the Red Sleeve Workshop.

Today's business, Su Jinyao has calculated it in her heart. So whether it succeeds or not depends on how she starts with the Red Sleeves.

Because the time was a little earlier than the day before, the Red Sleeves was quieter. Su Jinyao still came to the back door, and saw the mother-in-law who received vegetables for the first time looking at the door.

Su Jinyao walked over, smiled at the mother-in-law, and said, "Sister-in-law, do you still recognize me?" I came over the day before yesterday to put on my sisters' makeup. ”

When the mother-in-law saw that it was Su Jinyao, she smiled and said, "Yo, it's you, little girl." Yesterday I heard the girls talking about you, saying that you are coming today, but you are really here. ”

When Su Jinyao heard this, she was secretly happy in her heart, knowing that this business might be successful. However, her face was very calm, and she said, "I didn't expect my sisters to remember me." Shall I go in now? I'm afraid that my sisters won't get up and quarrel with them. ”

"Most of them are up, but if you haven't opened the door yet, don't make any noise." After the woman finished speaking, she let out the door and let Su Jinyao in, and said, "I heard Miss Ziruo talk about you the most, I saw the window of her house open just now, and she should have gotten up early, why don't you go directly to Miss Ziruo's house to have a look?" ”

Su Jinyao thanked her, thought about it, took out two cents of silver from her purse, handed it over, and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't bring any gifts in the morning, even if this bit of silver is to invite you to eat the fruit." If I come here often in the future, I will have to trouble you to remind me from time to time. ”

The woman looked at the silver in Su Jinyao's hand, and then at her old clothes, and finally reached out and took the silver. She thinks that this little girl is only in her teens, and her family is still quite poor in terms of clothes, so it is good to have this thought. Two cents of silver don't seem to be much in this Red Sleeve Shop, but her mind is different, and it is more than the silver rewarded by those rich people.

This mother-in-law is also accustomed to seeing people in places like Red Sleeves, and she knows that after receiving this money, as long as she takes more care of this little girl in the future, she will be considered to have repaid her favor.

Su Jinyao also thought in her heart, she was not afraid that she would collect money, but she was afraid that she would not accept it. If you don't take this money, it's too little. Now that she has taken the money, she will give herself a useful information in the future, and the harvest will be great.

After receiving the money, the mother-in-law introduced herself: "Everyone up and down in this red-sleeved workshop is called Sister-in-law Lu, who is in charge of the chores in the yard." I don't usually have any rights, but I am in charge of the entry and exit of goods and the purchase of goods. It's also my business to go to the cyclamen house every month to pay the bills. Sister-in-law, I'm a real person, little girl, if you don't know anything in the front and back yards, come to me. But I don't care about the girls, you still have to find Qi Niang. ”
