Su Jinyao heard Su Xiangui say the same, and was afraid that Xiaocheng'er would miss her mother again if she talked about it, so she said: "In the future, you will study in this town, but you are much better than me and your eldest sister." ”

Although Xiaocheng'er looks at everything fresh, he is very self-disciplined and does not look around; On the contrary, he was calm and composed. Even if it was something that felt very new, he would not shout in surprise, but directly asked Su Jinyao what it was and what it was.

Su Jinyao naturally gave him answers one by one, and at the same time paid attention to the restaurants here. However, this ancient elm town is far worse than Anji City, and of course there is no big restaurant like the cyclamen residence. Along the way, I saw small restaurants. Not to mention that it can't be compared with the cyclamen, even the Ping'an restaurant that Su Jinyao encountered when she first went to Ning'an Town and had closed down was much bigger than these restaurants.

After walking another street, she really didn't see a decent restaurant, so Su Jinyao picked a restaurant that looked clean (tǐng) and said, "Okay, let's just do it." ”

The two sisters and brothers stood at the door, Xiao Cheng'er took a deep breath, and then turned to Su Jinyao and said, "Second sister, I'm ...... It's the first time I've come to a restaurant. ”

"Huh? Didn't you ever go to a restaurant when your mother brought you here? In fact, in Su Jinyao's mind, she automatically sketched a portrait of her mother, who was a gentle and beautiful woman, and knew how to live very well, and even the clothes she made for the children would be embroidered with matching flowers by hand. How can you not even be willing to eat a restaurant?

Xiao Cheng'er shook his head and said, "At that time, our family was really poor, so I shouldn't be able to afford it." And I was too young at that time, and I heard my eldest sister say later that when we first went to town, I was only a little old, and I had just walked steadily, so my mother had to carry me around. At that time, even if I went to a restaurant, what could I eat? ”

Su Jinyao smiled after hearing this, and said, "It turns out that you are too young to eat, but it's no wonder that your mother didn't take you to the restaurant." ”

Xiao Cheng'er grimaced at Su Jinyao and said, "Second sister, do you want to take me in." We've been standing in front of people's homes for a long time. ”

"Okay, let's go. You go in first, and I'll come with my horse on a leash. Su Jinyao motioned for Xiaocheng'er to enter the door, and she went to the side of the tethered horse stake to tie the big black horse.

If it's a big restaurant, there will definitely be a guy at the door, so you don't have to do it yourself. But in such a small restaurant, with only six or seven tables and two small tables for two people, there are naturally no guys to answer the door.

And there was only one guy in the restaurant, and I didn't see the shopkeeper. It is estimated that this is a family stall or a husband and wife stall, this guy is responsible for serving food and collecting money, and it should be his daughter-in-law or parents who are in charge of the spoon.

It was just noon, so there was only one table in the restaurant for customers. Xiao Cheng'er picked a seat inside, and had already sat down and waited for Su Jinyao.

"Xiaocheng'er, whatever you want to eat, just order. Today, the second sister has a treat, so you can have a good meal. Su Jinyao said, beckoning to the guy: "Trouble you, tell my brother about the dishes that the chef is good at, and my brother will order them." ”

The guy (tǐng) is easy-going, with a smile on his face all the time, and his mouth is also slippery, and after announcing the names of a few dishes, he simply said the main ingredients used, so as not to let some guests be picky eaters and don't like to eat the dishes they ordered.

Xiao Cheng'er was stunned when she heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she still looked at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao knew at a glance that Xiaocheng'er should have really never been to the restaurant. I had to ask the guys to pair meat and vegetables with a few chef's specialties for them.

This guy was really (tǐng), saying that Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er sister and brother had a meal, and they didn't need to order too many dishes, so as not to waste the leftovers, so they brought them three dishes and one soup, and said that they only charged one bowl of rice per person in the store, and if they added rice, they would not charge another money.

Xiao Cheng'er's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his stomach and said, "It's just right, I'm also hungry." ”

Su Jinyao whispered to him: "Eat as much as you want, even if people say that the rice is full, it can't be wasted." ”

"I know that, but a bowl of rice is definitely not enough." Xiaocheng'er is growing (shēn) body, but lately it has been particularly edible. Sophie had to make more food than usual for one person to eat.

Su Jinyao wished that the little city would eat more and grow faster. So I told Sophie several times to buy more groceries and to buy more if any of them sold (ròu) for pigs. Pork bone broth should also be cooked frequently, so that the nutrition is enough. If it weren't for Su Jinyao's constant emphasis, the three of them would not have grown longer and smarter, and the small city would have been very strong.

After waiting for a while, the guy brought the meal. The dish size is not big, but three dishes and one soup are enough for Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er to eat.

Su Jinyao didn't eat much, I don't know if it was Yao'er's (shēn) son who was like this, or if she also brought it over because she didn't eat in the first place. However, it did not delay (shēn) physical development, and Su Jinyao found that she should have grown a little taller.

Eating, chatting with Xiaocheng'er, the guy also brought a pot of boiled water. The meal was full and good.

However, when the account was settled and went out, Xiao Cheng'er followed Su Jinyao to lead the horse, and whispered to Su Jinyao: "Second sister, this restaurant is not very good." The food you cook doesn't taste as good as your cooking. ”

Su Jinyao turned her head to look at Xiao Cheng'er's serious watch (qíng), and said with a smile: "Are you trying to make the second sister happy?" Or did you want me to smash the signboard of this store? ”

Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly said, "I'm telling the truth. The craftsmanship of the master of this restaurant can only be regarded as average, and my second sister's cooking is delicious. In particular, my second sister can also make roast duck. It is estimated that if the second sister opens a restaurant, the business will be much better than here. ”

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "I have sold the roast duck roasting method, and we can make it ourselves in the future, if we sell it, don't think about it." ”

Of course, Xiao Cheng'er was also joking, although he was looking forward to the better and better children at home, but he felt sorry for Su Jinyao's whole (rì) work. If one day Su Jinyao said that she would come to the town to open a restaurant, Xiaocheng'er would still want to actively oppose it. He didn't want his second sister to tire herself out in order to make money.

I also ate the meal, it was still early, and the two sisters and brothers were not in a hurry to go back, so they went shopping in this town.

And Xiaocheng'er also dragged Su Jinyao to the fat powder shop, tailor shop, and jewelry store. Su Jinyao grabbed him and asked why he only went to these places, and Xiaocheng'er said, "Didn't Dad tell you to buy some good clothes and easy to wear." Then if you don't pick one room, how do you know which one is good-looking? ”

"Have you started to have my mind (cāo)?" Although Su Jinyao said this, she still bought two boxes of rouge and one box of incense powder according to Xiaocheng'er's meaning. The incense powder is Sophie's own box, and she plans to give the incense powder to Sophie.

After thinking about it, Su Jinyao picked up another box of rouge, opened it and looked at the color, and said, "Shopkeeper, this is also needed." "This box of rouge was bought by Su Jinyao to give to (chūn) girl.

With the gifts for the eldest sister and the (chūn) girl, Su Jinyao took Xiaocheng'er to a small shop selling candy and candied fruit. There are only so many kinds of candy in the store, and they are all candy balls, which are not interesting to look at. Su Jinyao only bought two taels of sugar balls for Xiaocheng'er, and then bought a few candied fruits.

The candied fruit is also divided into two portions, one is eaten by the three of their sisters and brothers, so the package is larger; The other one was bought for the (chūn) girl. (chūn) Niu eats alone, so buying a small packet should be enough.

After that, Su Jinyao found another blacksmith shop and bought two pots, one large and one small, for the (chūn) Niu family. The large pot can stuff rice, boil soup, and stir-fry, and cook porridge in a small pot and the noodles are just right. Anyway, usually only the two of them eat, and both large and small pots can be used. I bought another (tào) cooking utensils, even if it was an addition to the kitchen of the (chūn) girl's house.

Passing by a pharmacy, Su Jinyao looked at the small façade of this small pharmacy, and was a little worried about the medicinal materials here. However, Su Xiangui's foot soaking is a medicine for external use, and even the color of the medicine is generally stronger than nothing, so Su Jinyao bought two pairs of medicines according to the formula for increasing the amount. If you want to buy good medicine, wait until you go to Anji City again, and go to Anhetang to get medicine.

After wandering around for a long time, I bought a lot of things. In the end, I also went to the leather store to pick up the fox fur collar that I left here for processing last time, and then walked back. The two sisters and brothers rode big black horses, and they were not in a hurry to go, but they talked leisurely as they walked, like an outing.

Xiao Cheng'er was very happy, holding the small jar containing the sugar balls in his hand, occasionally pinching one to eat, and not forgetting to stuff one in Su Jinyao's mouth.

Su Jinyao doesn't eat sugar, she eats some chocolate when she is on a mission, but she only likes to eat dark chocolate, which is the most bitter. So as soon as this sugar ball entered her mouth, Su Jinyao frowned, it was even more ugly than eating bitter gourd.

Xiao Cheng'er smiled and asked, "Second sister, don't you eat sugar?" But I remember when you saw someone eat a piece of candy, your saliva would run down your chin. ”

Su Jinyao was originally holding a horse whip, but when she heard Xiao Cheng'er say this, she made a gesture and slapped him on his (pì) stock, and said, "I was stupid then, but now I'm not stupid." If you mention it again, I won't buy you any sugar balls in the future. ”

Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, I didn't eat the candy balls I bought." I'm going to give it to Aunt Niu's Sister Caiyan and Caique to eat. If they like it, I'll buy more. ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "Dare (qíng) to say, are you taking the things I bought for you to please the girl?" ”

"It's not to please me, it's just that they are usually very good to me, so I think about them." When Xiao Cheng'er said this, he blushed a little, and was caught by Su Jinyao.

The two sisters and brothers were laughing and frolicking at the same time, but fortunately, Su Jinyao's riding skills were good, and Xiaocheng'er had practiced well in the past few days, otherwise they would have to fall off the horse.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to home, and the head of the sky was gradually sinking, Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er suddenly saw a person sitting on the side of the road in front of them, still a woman.

Su Jinyao's eyes were even better, and at a glance, she found that it was the second sister-in-law of the Wu family.

The big black horse ran forward again, and the second sister-in-law of the Wu family heard the sound of horses' hooves and looked up, and also saw Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er. Su Jinyao saw that it was the second sister-in-law of the Wu family sitting on the side of the road, so she urged the horse and did not mean to stop.

It was Xiao Cheng'er who pulled Su Jinyao, looked up and said, "At that time, I heard Grandpa Wu say to let Second Aunt Wu go back, did she really come all the way here?" The Wu family's carriage came back from this side, didn't it take her? ”

Su Jinyao sighed and said, "Calculating the time, she should have come all the time." Wu Jia...... The affairs of the Wu family (qíng) are not in our turn, let's go. ”

After saying that, the big black horse had already run in front of Wu's second sister-in-law's (shēn), and it only took a few more steps to run over.

Unexpectedly, Wu's second sister-in-law stood up at this time and shouted to Su Jinyao, who was about to pass: "Su girl, do me a favor." ”

Su Jinyao naturally heard it, but she didn't want to wade into this troubled water. And she thinks that she is not the White Lotus Holy Mother, how can she save everyone from the sea of suffering. So she really can't control the matter of Wu's second sister-in-law.

The horse was already going away, and the second sister-in-law Wu stood on the side of the road and watched Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er ride away, without any intention of stopping, and suddenly shouted again: "Su family girl, for the sake of me and your mother both from the capital, you can do me a favor." ”

"What?" Su Jinyao was stunned when she heard her words, and then she also grabbed the horse's head.

The big black horse was running vigorously, and suddenly Su Jinyao tightened the reins with a neigh, and stepped on the void with his front hooves a few times, almost standing up directly.

Xiaocheng'er was stunned, but fortunately he was sitting in front of Su Jinyao's (shēn). The big black horse rushed and stood up like this, he just leaned back and fell into Su Jinyao's arms.

Su Jinyao stabilized Xiao Cheng'er and handed him the reins. Then without waiting for the big black horse to stop, he jumped off the horse and walked back to look at Wu's second sister-in-law and asked; "What do you mean?"

Su Jinyao knew that if it was just a village, it would be normal for them to know each other, but there was no reason to talk about this with herself. So what Wu's second sister-in-law said definitely didn't mean that.

Second sister-in-law Wu nodded and said, "Yes, I know your mother." I was abducted by human traffickers and sold to Pingshan Village. Back then, I had a serious illness and almost died, but your mother secretly saved me. However, at that time, the Wu family had already bought me, and I was seriously ill and couldn't run away, so I stayed (xìng). I thank your mother for saving her life, she said that because I also have a Beijing accent, she wants to save me. At that time, I found out that your mother also has a Beijing accent. ”

Su Jinyao frowned and looked at Xiao Cheng'er. Xiao Cheng'er shook his head and said, "I don't know what the Beijing accent is." However, our mother-in-law speaks very well, unlike the little daughter-in-law and hot mother-in-law in our village, who have a big voice with a five-horse spear. The mother spoke very softly, slowly, as if she never lost her temper and got angry. ”

The second sister-in-law of the Wu family also said: "Yes, your mother is really a good person." For the sake of me and your mother being fellow villagers, help me this time. ”

Su Jinyao didn't agree, because she didn't think that a fellow villager of her mother would have many friends (qíng). But he didn't immediately refuse, so he asked, "Then you can come and hear it, and I'll see if I can do it." If you can't, it's useless for me to promise you. ”

"If you can't do it, then I can't ask anyone else in our village." Wu's second sister-in-law said, sighed, and said, "I just want you to report to the official, saying that the Wu family bought and sold women without household registration, and forced (bī) to marry, which can be regarded as collusion with human traffickers." Then let the government arrest me. ”

"What did you say?" Su Jinyao is good at figuring out people's hearts, but this time it simply made the second sister-in-law of the Wu family completely confused. She really couldn't think of it, why did this second sister-in-law Wu seem to be in a hurry to let the government arrest her? Could it be that the (rì) son of the Wu family was so sad that she wanted to leave in such an extreme way?

Su Jinyao was not the only one who was puzzled, Xiao Cheng'er was also full of doubts, and asked in surprise: "Second Aunt Wu, haven't you thought that it would be worse for the government to arrest you?" You are the daughter-in-law of the Wu family after all, are you not good in the Wu family? ”

"Not good. I'd rather die outside than stay in the Wu family. The man of the Wu family is a ......" Saying this, Wu's second sister-in-law's face changed blue and red for a while, and then she changed her mind and said: "Although I have two legs to walk on my own, but the Wu family is holding my deed of sale (shēn), even if I escape, I will be caught." But it's different when the government arrests me as if I don't have a household registration, and the government doesn't care if you have a deed of sale (shēn) or not, and if you don't have a household registration certificate, you will be imprisoned. Moreover, the family with the deed of sale can also prove that they colluded with traffickers, so the Wu family did not dare to take my deed of sale (shēn) to the government to ask for someone. ”

After listening to this, Su Jinyao asked her again: "But you didn't think about it, the Wu family is rich and powerful, they may have already asked Li Zheng to open a household registration certificate for you?" ”

This kind of thing is not impossible, Zhang Lizheng is a master who sees money. So Su Jinyao felt that Wu's second sister-in-law was still thinking too simply.

But I heard Wu's second sister-in-law say: "No, Zhang Lizheng didn't give me a household registration certificate." First, I have not been to the Wu family for five years, and second, I have ......" halfway through speaking, the words of the second sister-in-law of the Wu family stopped again, and then her face turned red.

Su Jinyao frowned and said, "Why are you so sure that Zhang Lizheng will not give you a household registration certificate just because the Wu family gave you money?" Even if I want to help you, if the Wu family really comes up with your household registration certificate at that time, I will be tantamount to being a villain trying to break up other people's families, and you can't leave the Wu family either. ”

Seeing that Su Jinyao had so many doubts, Second Sister-in-law Wu gritted her teeth and said, "That's it, I'll tell you about such ugly things." As long as you believe in me, just help me leave the Wu family. I took advantage of Zhang Lizheng's visit to Wu's house for a banquet and secretly gave him my (shēn) son. I asked Zhang Lizheng not to give me a household registration certificate, and promised him that if he had the opportunity to leave the Wu family, he would follow him. ”
