Chapter 67: Used
Now Sophie is not happy, and when she asks like this, it will inevitably be another quarrel. How can sisters really distinguish between what is right and wrong? Anyway, Dad and Xiaocheng'er are happy today, so forget about it.
Thinking like this, Su Jinyao took a deep breath and suppressed the unhappiness in her heart. Only pick up the good, fresh and tender cabbage sum picked out, washed it with water several times, it looks bright, then the shredded meat is fried in the pot, and then the cabbage is also oiled, cut some minced garlic and sprinkle it into the pot, out of the pot.
Suddenly, the aroma of shredded meat and cabbage came out. Xiao Cheng'er smelled the fragrance and ran in, and asked with a smile: "Second sister, why are you so fragrant?" I did it quickly, I put the small kang table in my father's house, wiped the table clean, and you will get all the dishes out of the pot. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Cheng'er came to serve the food. Su Jinyao thought for a moment in her heart, gently pulled Xiaocheng'er, and asked her in a low voice, "Why is the eldest sister unhappy?" Are you still angry with me? ”
"Big sister?" Xiao Cheng'er heard Su Jinyao ask, glanced at the door, and then shook his head and said, "I don't know, wasn't it good before." ”
"Then the eldest sister went out to buy this dish, or who gave it?" Su Jinyao also wanted to know if Sophie met someone when she went out to buy vegetables? If it was true that people outside bullied her, Su Jinyao would not stand idly by.
Family, no matter how noisy it is behind closed doors, it is all their own business. But if outsiders dared to bully Su Fei'er, she Su Jinyao would be the first to disagree.
Xiao Cheng'er replied: "The eldest sister went out to buy it." But when I came back from selling water, she had already bought the food. What's wrong, second sister, this dish is not good? Asking, Xiao Cheng'er looked underground, and saw the bad vegetable leaves that Su Jinyao threw away after picking vegetables just now.
Xiao Cheng'er was surprised: "Ah, why is this dish still rotten?" It's still wilting. Is that bad? Which house did the eldest sister buy? ”
"It's okay, isn't it all fried, eat yours." Su Jinyao grabbed Xiaocheng'er and told him to stop yelling. Then turn around and go and take the cabbage and stew the potatoes out.
The rice is also stewed, and it is served in a pot, which is soft and fragrant, but it is very tempting.
Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er took the food and walked to Su Xiangui's house, and saw that Su Fei'er was already in this house. Sitting on the edge of the kang, he asked Su Xiangui, "Dad, you really don't count?" Jinyao's brain is just right, what if she receives it wrong or miscalculates? Besides, you just take it like that, and you don't have a specific number, she says as much as she wants, what if she says too much? ”
Su Xiangui said: "Count, a family, you can still be wrong." Jinyao is not that kind of person, she will come to report to me one by one, what else can she tell me? If she had that kind of thought, it would be convenient to put the money in her pocket and spend it. ”
"Dad, you're just facing her. It's always been like this, you're eccentric. Su Fei'er said, and suddenly saw Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er come in. Only then did he shut up stupidly, moved to the side, and moved the edge of the kang table away, so that the two of them could put the dishes and chopsticks.
Xiao Cheng'er listened to Sophie's words, and his heart was not happy. At this time, he put the dishes and chopsticks in his hand on the table and asked, "Sister, where did you buy that dish?" So rotten and wilted. ”
"What, isn't it good? I bought it at Sister Qiuhong's house. Her food is cheap, and two catties of cabbage only cost me five cents. It's not like Aunt Li's house, a pound of vegetables costs four yuan, which is really expensive. ”
After speaking, Sophie also glanced at Su Jinyao.
Su Jinyao knew that the food she bought was not cheap, but what Su Fei'er said was ...... Forget it, don't bother to care about that. Su Jinyao simply kept silent, pulled Xiaocheng'er, and said, "It's not that you won't ask, eat." ”
"Yo, listen to this, do you think the food is not good, let Xiaocheng'er ask? Why don't you ask me directly, but you want to ask Cheng'er? Aren't you stirring up a relationship between our sister and brother? You and Cheng'er are sisters and brothers, and so are we, why do you have to get him close to you? Sophie suddenly turned her head to Su Jinyao and said this, her tone was sour, as if she was going to fight.
Su Jinyao's heart churned when she was asked, she looked at Sophie with a frown, and said, "I think this dish is not good." It's cheap, but it's yellow, wilted, and rotten. After picking it, it's less than a pound of vegetables, isn't it more expensive than fresh and good dishes? It's better to spend money and eat good than to eat rotten, right? I asked Xiaocheng'er, I just don't want to quarrel with you, it's not to provoke relations, you think too much. ”
"I'm thinking too much? I'm just stupid and think too little. I didn't even warn that my sister was stirring up trouble behind my back. After Sophie finished speaking, she also sneered, looked at the dishes on the table and said, "I don't like the dishes I bought, but the meat you bought is good?" Isn't it also minced meat that you bought? Thought I couldn't see it when it was shredded? Why can you do whatever you want, don't you want to save some money from me? You can make money, right? You really have the ability, not only are you not stupid, but you also have the ability to play tricks with your sisters at home. ”
"I, what's wrong with me? How did I provoke? Su Jinyao felt that Sophie must have something to say, she would not lose such a big temper with herself just because of a dish.
What's more, Su Jinyao's dish was made later, and when Sophie went out before, didn't she mutter. It must have been Sophie's heart for herself at that time.
Hearing that Su Jinyao also raised her profile, Su Fei'er's shoulders shrank, and she hid from the kang for a while, but her eyes were still rolling, and she echoed: "You didn't provoke, why did you tell Brother Wu Niu that I bullied you when you went out in the morning?" Brother Wu Niu has been protecting you since he was a child, holding you in the palm of his hand, as soon as you say this, he naturally came to me and said. I didn't care much about you, did I? But you deliberately provoked the relationship between me and Brother Wu Niu. ”
Su Jinyao was so angry that her heart was blocked, and her lips trembled and she couldn't speak. She didn't expect that Sophie's temper was because of an outsider, and she was a man.
Obviously, she could smell a little sour, but Su Jinyao could only suffer a loss. She admitted that she met Chen Wuniu in the morning, but what she said to Chen Wuniu was that she wanted to get rid of Chen Wuniu as soon as possible so that she could hurry. The second is also to let Chen Wuniu coax Sophie.
But she never expected that Chen Wuniu would come to come to Suphie. It's no wonder that Sophie is pouring fire on her head.
With a "dang bang", Su Xiangui threw the big copper spoon containing the rice on the ground and shouted: "Sophie, when are you going to make trouble?" I listen to you quarrel with your sister every day. Your sister-in-law just came back, and she hasn't eaten a bite of dinner all day long, so you messed with her because Chen Wuniu came to the morning for that idea? How do you do it sister? Wu Niu is right, you are a sister, can't you let Jinyao? Even if Wu Niu doesn't talk about you, I have to talk about you. Seeing the world like this, do you think that the life at home is better? ”
Su Xiangui was so angry that he picked up another bowl and was about to throw it on the ground. Su Jinyao quickly took it and called "Dad", wanting to let Su Xiangui dissipate his anger.
What's more, it doesn't matter if you drop the copper spoon, just pick it up and wash it. If you drop the bowl, it will be like breaking your heart, and I am afraid that if it really hurts Sophie's heart, it will not be able to glue together.
But as soon as Su Jinyao took the bowl, Su Fei'er stood up and shouted at Su Jinyao: "You will come to the matter, as long as you have eyes, you know how to make your father happy, and you can also be liked by Brother Wu Niu." You didn't eat, our family starved with you, and you came back late, thanks to merit. I was guilty of doing laundry, cooking, and serving my father at home every day. ”
With that, Sophie stomped her foot, turned around and ran out.
"A good meal, a good family, what's the fuss? Dead girl, your wings are stiff, don't you, dare to bully your sister in front of me, is it reasonable? Su Xiangui was so angry that he copied the chopsticks on the table again.
A handful of chopsticks were thrown on the ground and spilled all over the ground.
Su Jinyao didn't fail to take the chopsticks, but she also knew that Su Xiangui was angry, so if she stopped herself, don't suffocate Su Xiangui anymore. What's more, a pair of chopsticks can't be broken, and if he falls, he will let out his anger, so let's fall.
Xiao Cheng'er kept standing by the door with his fists clenched, biting his little white teeth so angry that his face turned black. After a while, he looked up and said to Su Jinyao: "Second sister, eldest sister, what's wrong with her?" She wasn't like that before. I...... I went to her to reason. ”
After speaking, Xiaocheng'er was about to go out, and Su Jinyao hurriedly pulled it back.
Su Jinyao took a deep breath, shook her head at Xiao Cheng'er and said, "Be obedient, don't look for your eldest sister." Just let her be alone and dissipate her anger. This is like fighting with children, I beat and scolded today, and tomorrow will be fine. Dad is right, they are all a good family, don't be angry. ”
In fact, Su Jinyao was also uncomfortable in her heart, but she asked herself, she really didn't think about Chen Wuniu. Obviously, he had already sensed that something was wrong, and knew that Chen Wuniu was not an ordinary concern for his thoughts, so he shouldn't say those ambiguous words. Let Chen Wuniu misunderstand, he came to Sophie to defend himself, naturally to make Sophie sad.
Alas, isn't this the mood of a girl who is in love for the first time? Otherwise, there won't be any old saying that "women don't stay". This girl is older, and she is all towards her lover, if Chen Wuniu gives her a little face, of course Sophie will feel uncomfortable.
Who let himself recognize such a family and treat Sophie as a sister? Think about it in a different position, if it was yourself, I guess I would go up and break Sophie's arm.
Thinking of this, Su Jinyao couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook her head and said to Su Xiangui and Xiaocheng'er: "Don't be stunned, clean up when you should clean up, eat when you should eat, and you can really make a fuss and be hungry all night?" After eating, there is still work, don't be idle. When I'm idle, I like to lose my temper, and when I'm busy, I don't have so much to do. ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao squatted down first and picked up the chopsticks and copper spoons on the ground.
Seeing Su Jinyao like this, Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly took the spoon and chopsticks and said, "Second sister, you sit with your father, I'll go wash it." ”
Xiaocheng'er went out to wash the spoons and chopsticks, and Su Jinyao sat by the kang. lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then asked Su Xiangui: "Dad, what about the eldest sister and Brother Wu Niu...... Do you know? ”
Su Jinyao didn't mean anything else, she only knew that ancient girls were engaged and married very early, and she didn't know what Su Xiangui thought, and she didn't know that Su Fei'er liked Chen Wuniu. If you know, see what Dad means, and if Dad agrees, let Sophie and Chen Wuniu get along. Why bother to be so hazy and hidden, it is awkward to be caught in the middle.
Su Xiangui was stunned for a moment when he heard Su Jinyao ask. Then he understood, and he also lowered his head and thought about it, then nodded and said, "Dad didn't expect it, you two girls are grown up." Dad, I didn't expect you to ask me about this. ”
After speaking, Su Xiangui smiled, reached over and touched Su Jinyao's head, and then said, "Dad can naturally see Fei'er's thoughts, but this can't work." The Chen family is a well-known wealthy family in our village, and Wu Niu's child has a good life, and he has become an apprentice in the town, and he may have to go to the city in the future, and he will also be an accountant and a housekeeper. What can our Su family climb high? Dad knows that Wuniu is good to you, and he also knows that Fei'er is thinking about Wuniu in her heart, but you two sisters ...... I'm afraid I don't have that blessing. Let's not climb high, even if we barely climb up, if we marry in the past, we will be looked down upon by our husband's family, and we think that our family is stuttering, and you will be angry. Let's just find an ordinary family, it doesn't matter if you are poor, as long as you two sisters are good, your father doesn't want a dowry, I hope you will not be bullied and live a peaceful life. ”
Su Jinyao was stunned, her father was worried about this. However, my father said that Chen Wuniu was good to him, and he said that he knew that Sophie was also worried about Chen Wuniu, so the meaning of this was deep.
Su Jinyao hurriedly said: "Dad, you think too much, I'm just worrying about the eldest sister." The eldest sister is thirteen years old, I think she has Brother Wu Niu in her heart, that's good. If you agree, don't care if you climb high or not, let them settle the matter. It's not an engagement, it's a try for the two of them to get along, and if they get along, they will be engaged and married in the future. Maybe when the two of them really get married, our family will get better, and then they will be considered rich in the village, so they will be the right family. ”
Hearing Su Jinyao say this, Su Xiangui frowned and asked Su Jinyao, "Jinyao, what are you going to do?" Do you think that if you make money today, you will be able to make money in the future? To tell the truth, you have earned more than 400 wen a day, but our family doesn't even have a piece of land, can you make a fortune just by picking up things everywhere like this? Dad doesn't look down on you to pick up things, but it's not a long-term plan after all. Is it true that restaurants close every day? Every day, I encounter chickens that can't be sold? ”
As soon as Su Xiangui said, Su Jinyao laughed. Shaking his head, he said, "Yes, of course, you can't live by picking up things every day." I only sold more than 800 wen after a day of drinking, and the rest was less than 500 wen, not even half a tael of silver, which is really far worse than those really rich people. But I'm flexible here, and I have good ideas in the future, so that our family doesn't have to worry about living a good life. I just want to ask my father's attitude, if our family and the Chen family can match, are you willing to let the eldest sister and Brother Wu Niu be okay? ”
"Yes. Of course I do. Wu Niu's child is different from the children of other big families in our village, even compared to his two cousins, he is a lot stronger. He is down-to-earth and kind, a really good boy of a good family. If one of your sisters can marry Wu Niu, Dad will be relieved. ”
Speaking of this, Su Xiangui paused, looked at Su Jinyao and asked her, "But Jinyao, Wu Niu has always been good to you." I protect you when I was a child, and I never think you are stupid, nor do I dislike you. He often comes to our house to deliver food and help, and it's also because of your relationship. Are you ...... Don't like Wu Niu? ”
Hearing Su Xiangui's question, Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment. But it's not because she's thinking about whether she likes Chen Wuniu, but because a beautiful little face appeared in front of her eyes, and her clear and deep black eyes stared at her, and she also jumped out arrogantly: Stupid, it's hopeless.
"Flutter" Su Jinyao couldn't help but cover her lips and smile. After laughing, I realized that I was stupid because I was distracted by a person. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Dad, what's wrong with you, I'm talking about the eldest sister and Brother Wu Niu, don't take it from me." If the eldest sister hears it, she will say that I provoked. I don't like Brother Wu Niu, not to mention that I'm still young, I'm only eleven, and I'm only twelve after the New Year, it's still early. Besides, you don't want me to stay at home for a few more years and earn you a mountain of gold back? ”
In the last sentence, Su Jinyao is not joking. She felt that her ability was not just a mountain of gold, and it was a gold mine if she made good use of it, and the gold was buried deep in the ground, as long as she was willing to dig it.
"Dad doesn't expect you to earn me any gold or silver. As long as you can be well. If you can really make money, it is also to save a dowry for yourself, and if you marry in the future, your father will not be able to get a decent bride price, but he will not hold my daughter's hard-earned money by himself with a clear conscience. After Su Xiangui finished speaking, he looked at Su Jinyao again and asked, "Jinyao, do you really dislike your Brother Wuniu?" ”
"I don't like it, I don't like it I'm really young, don't you say it's done? Su Jinyao insisted that she was "still young", but in fact, she was already sweating in her heart. Her heart is not small, but I don't know why, she has found that she has become more and more able to adapt to this identity and age recently, and even does this kind of thing handy.
"Okay, if you don't say it, you won't say it. Daddy just wants you to be good. In the future, if you have someone you like, you must tell your father first, Dad's legs are not good, but his eyes are good. Otherwise, I won't be able to find someone as good as your mother. When Su Xiangui said this, his eyebrows, eyes, and the corners of his mouth were all smiling.
Su Jinyao also laughed, "Dad, the days will be better in the future, and then I will think about marrying you a daughter-in-law?" In the future, someone will take care of you every day and accompany you day and night, and I will be relieved. ”
"Cut, dead girl, also with hard wings? Dare to tease your father. Xiaocheng'er is back, don't let him hear this. Eat and eat. Su Xiangui raised his hand across the table and knocked on Su Jinyao's head, but it was useless at all, it was completely a father's love for his daughter.
Su Jinyao was also quite useful, made a grimace at Su Xiangui, got up and welcomed Xiaocheng'er into the door, took the chopsticks and copper spoon, and began to serve and eat.
