Chapter 51: Serving Rice
Hearing Su Xiangui say this, Su Jinyao immediately straightened her face and pretended to be serious: "Dad, don't you believe in my ability?" You don't believe I can give you a good life, do you? Then I want to make our family better, and I will build a few big tiled houses in the future, so that the whole village can see the best life of our Su family. ”
Su Xiangui's eyes were red just now, and even tears flashed this time. Hurriedly pressed the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Jinyao has a future, Dad believes in you." ”
Xiao Cheng'er listened to Su Jinyao's words, slapped the small kang table, and shouted, "Second sister, what you said is not right. ”
"Huh? What's wrong? You don't want to live a good life, do you? Su Jinyao thought that Xiao Cheng'er was deliberately carrying it with herself, so she picked up a chopstick on the table and knocked on Xiao Cheng'er's head.
Xiaocheng'er was knocked by Su Jinyao, but she covered her head and smiled, and said, "I think, if you can really build a big tile house and can afford to hire people, then you won't live in the village." Let's go to the town and live, or just go into the city. ”
"Hehe, that's fine." Su Jinyao nodded, this is what Xiaocheng'er means.
"Dad, you believe the second sister. The second sister is really amazing. Xiao Cheng'er pulled Su Xiangui across the table and said.
"Faith, Daddy believes it." Su Xiangui pressed the corners of his eyes again, nodded and said with a smile.
"The letter is not yet eating." Su Jinyao also smiled and put the rice bowls in front of Su Xiangui and Su Cheng respectively. Then he picked up the meal that he had served to Su Xiangui before, put it aside, and said, "Since we are eating with my father, then this bowl of food will be kept for the eldest sister." After a while, she was hungry, so she went out to eat. ”
When Xiao Cheng'er heard that Su Jinyao was still thinking about Sophie, she also pursed her lips and smiled. said: "The second sister is also a knife mouth and a tofu heart." ”
"Hmph, that didn't really mess with me. If it me off, I'll skin her. Su Jinyao gritted her teeth and roared.
However, there is nothing true about this. Now even if she gives Su Jinyao a knife, she would rather be a knife for cutting vegetables than a knife for killing. She is tired of the days of the killer, but finds it more interesting that there are hardships in the calm and contradictions in reality.
Although the third aunt's family has a small belly and chicken intestines, it is life after all. Although the eldest sister likes to lose her temper, she is still a relative after all.
I thought about it, and I ate the rice with relish. Su Jinyao watched Xiao Cheng'er and Su Xiangui both eat with their heads bored, and they also served vegetables with each other, and felt down-to-earth in their hearts.
After eating, Su Jinyao cleaned up the table, and Su Xiangui asked, "Jinyao, Dad knows that you can do it." But what are you going to do with this hundred? Otherwise, let's take Cheng'er to the third aunt's house to compensate. ”
"No, Dad, I said this is my business, so you don't have to worry about it." Su Jinyao said with a smile, not thinking that this Baiwen was a problem at all.
Su Xiangui saw Su Jinyao's uncaring appearance, and he didn't say anything, just sighed beside him.
When Su Jinyao saw Su Xiangui like this, she knew that he was not at ease with herself. He put the rag in his hand on the table, sat on the edge of the kang and said to Su Xiangui seriously: "Dad, I picked a lot of mushrooms on the mountain with Xiaocheng'er today, and I will pick some tomorrow, and I will go to the town the day after tomorrow to have a look, and if I sell these mountain goods, I can also make money." You're at home watching Sophie, but don't let her go around borrowing money. First, I don't have to owe favors to others, and this hundred articles can't help but bother me. Second, I estimate that Sophie's borrowing money to touch the nail today is also Liu Dongmei's business. As soon as she mixes in it, we won't borrow any money. ”
Su Xiangui looked at Su Jinyao's firm and rational eyes, and he settled down inexplicably. It's as if there is a backbone.
Su Xiangui nodded and said, "Okay, Jinyao, whatever you say is what you say, Dad believes you." In fact, Su Xiangui pondered in his heart, if he really couldn't do it, let Cheng'er go to the third brother's house with him on his back, and he would personally apologize, this hundred articles would not be a problem.
Su Jinyao Bingxue is smart, and she can also see some of Su Xiangui's thoughts. However, Su Jinyao didn't say much. In this situation, no matter how much she says, it is not as powerful as taking out the money directly. When she slapped a hundred dollars on Liu Dongmei's face, it was time to make Liu Dongmei look good.
Su Jinyao cleaned up the table, and the dishes and chopsticks were all rushed by Xiaocheng'er to be washed. Su Jinyao deliberately pulled Xiao Cheng'er and whispered to him to come out of the kitchen after brushing the dishes. If Sophie couldn't stand the hunger, she had to go to the kitchen to find food, and she would be embarrassed to see Xiaocheng'er there.
Xiao Cheng'er agreed with a smile and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Su Jinyao spread out the mushrooms she picked today and hung them on the shelves in the yard.
In fact, Su Jinyao and Su Xiangui said that they could pay back the 100 wen if they sold the wild vegetables, and they were simply coaxing him. Su Jinyao didn't expect to make a fortune by going up the mountain to pick mushrooms. She was thinking about going to the town to see if there was any way to make money, so as to get back the first pot of gold.
Xiao Cheng'er came out of the kitchen and brushed the bowl, and said to Su Jinyao, who had been pondering, "Second sister, are you still taking a bath today?" I'll help you boil a pot of hot water. ”
"Hey, okay, thank you, Xiaocheng'er." Su Jinyao really likes this caring brother more and more.
Xiao Cheng'er pursed his lips and smiled, walked to the most moonlit place in the courtyard, squatted down, and drew something on the ground with his fingers.
Su Jinyao walked over curiously and said, "Xiaocheng'er, what are you painting?" It's so dark, don't get tired of your eyes. ”
But when he walked to Xiaocheng'er, he realized that he was writing the words "Quanqing Bamboo Fragrance" on the ground. And Xiaocheng'er's handwriting is already quite good, and every stroke can be seen to be very serious.
Su Jinyao praised: "Xiaocheng'er, you have a great talent for writing." It only took two days to learn to write, and I was able to write so well. Go back and the second sister will buy you paper, pens, and ink, and then look at the two books that will buy you and teach you to read and write. ”
Xiao Cheng'er's eyes lit up and said, "Second sister, I don't need pen and ink, I'm good at practicing on this ground." However, if you can actually buy me a book, I would also like to see how other people write and what looks good. ”
"Okay, the second sister will buy it for you. Let my small town be able to take the top exam in the future. Su Jinyao is really full of expectations, she thinks that as long as Xiaocheng'er is cultivated a little, she will definitely be able to become a talent.
Su Jinyao felt that Su Fei'er was like, but she still tried her best to endure it, afraid that laughing at this time would be another quarrel, and she would be upset. He pushed Xiao Cheng'er's shoulder and pouted at Sophie'er.
Xiao Cheng'er understood, stood up and washed his hands, then went to the kitchen to bring food out and sent it to Sophie.
At first, I listened to Sophie angrily talking to Xiaocheng'er in the house: "If you don't eat, don't eat, take it." ”
Xiao Cheng'er giggled a few more times and persuaded a few more words, so he didn't listen to Sophie's words to take the food away.
After a while, Xiao Cheng'er came out of the house, nodded at Su Jinyao, and made a gesture of eating. Then he himself couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, covered his mouth and laughed.
Su Jinyao also found it interesting, this Sophie is really a princess disease, and she wants people to coax her to eat.
However, Sophie's willingness to eat proves that she is not really angry yet. Su Jinyao didn't bother to care about her. Anyway, this family will not lack a bowl of rice for her to eat in the future.
Seeing that it was not too early, Su Jinyao went to the shed where the sundries were kept, moved a small wooden basin over, put hot water and took a bath, and then went to sleep comfortably.
But as soon as the bathtub was cleaned, Sophie was standing at the door.
Su Jinyao didn't understand what Sophie meant by coming to her house for a while, and asked directly, "Eldest sister, is there something?" ”
"It's okay, can I come to you?" Sophie asked. But the look was not angry, but a little playful.
Su Jinyao felt funny in her heart, shook her head and said, "No." ”
"Huh?" Sophie was stunned, she thought about it for a long time, but she didn't expect Su Jinyao to block her back with a direct sentence, so choked that she didn't have any more follow-up.
Seeing Su Fei'er's confused face, Su Jinyao felt a little more comfortable. Then he smiled and said, "If you have something to say, come in and say it." If there's nothing to say, go back and wash and sleep. ”
"I, I just want to say, in the future, you will be the master of the family, I don't care." Sophie was silent for a long time before she said this.
But looking at Su Jinyao's cold eyes, Su Fei'er hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean, I'm afraid that I won't manage it well, but it will make the whole family unhappy." Jinyao, you also know that my temperament is not as strong as yours, and I am a little afraid of things, I am always worried that our family will be looked down upon, and I am afraid of being bullied by others, so I am careful everywhere. Now that you can support this family, I'm happy to be more relaxed. Take care of everything in the future, I'll listen to you. ”
Listening to Sophie's explanation, Su Jinyao realized that she had come to reconcile with herself.
Even though Su Jinyao has a strong personality, she is not a forgiving master, but after all, Sophie is now her family, and she is a relative she has admitted, so there is nothing that cannot be tolerated.
Su Jinyao put down the wooden basin in her hand, patted the edge of her kang, and said, "Come in, sit and talk." ”
Sophie hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, I'm just here to talk to you about this, and I'll go back when I'm done." ”
"I don't eat people. Come on in. Su Jinyao got up and pulled Su Fei'er in, and then sat on the edge of the kang together and said: "I am a straightforward person, I never cater to others, and I have created this strong character. As for you, what you say is gentle, and if you don't say it well, you are weak. I don't want you to be too weak and be bullied like that. I just hope that our family can get better, but I have no intention of competing to be in charge. You are the eldest sister of me and Cheng'er, and you will always be our eldest sister, and this will not change. I still say the same thing, you take good care of your father at home, and you also contribute to this family, no one will say that you ate dry food. What do you see? ”
"Okay, I see. Then I'll take care of my dad at home tomorrow and dismantle and wash the quilt for him. Sophie finished and stood up.
After thinking about it, he took out a handful of copper plates from his coat pocket, put them on Su Jinyao's kang, and said, "This is the money I used to wash my clothes these days, as well as the money I used to clean up the vegetable patch for Aunt Niu's family last time, but it adds up to more than 20 copper plates." I know you can make money, more than I do. Let's make up and see how much we can get. If it's really not enough, talk to the third aunt's family, and compensate them for the rest in a few days, and be accommodating for a few days. ”
Su Jinyao looked at the copper plate on the kang, looked at Su Fei'er's aggrieved eyes, sighed, grabbed the copper plate, pulled Su Fei'er again, put it in her hand, and said, "You and your father are really the same, don't you believe me?" You can keep these copper plates, whether it's your private money, or a subsidy for being a writer, but don't give it to me, I don't care about the money and I don't run the house. ”
Speaking of this, Su Jinyao remembered that she had bought rice, vegetables and oil for the copper plates she had earned these days, but there were still a few words left, so she also took them out and said: "This is the copper plate I earned these days, except for the things I bought, all of them are here." I either wanted to hide it from you, or I forgot to hand it over to you for a while. This family is still yours, and the money is also in your hands. ”
Sophie looked at the copper plate that Su Jinyao took out, shook her head and said, "Don't give it to me, I can't take care of it." Forget it, they are all sisters, and no one has to be in charge of the house. All the money you earn is spent at home, so you should keep some for yourself and buy what you like. After making money in the future, let's hand it over to Dad, and let Dad take care of this family. In the future, when the city grows up, this home will also be handed over to him. ”
Su Jinyao heard what Su Fei'er said, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I will give the money to my father in the future, so it's good for him to take care of the house, and he can make a living, and he won't be cranky." ”
With that, Sophie left.
Su Jinyao looked at Sophie's back, shook her head and smiled, thinking that this girl was really interesting. I can't tell if it's good or bad, but in short, it's the little character that a little woman should have, and she has it all.
It's really late, and it's noisy and peaceful, and it's quite interesting all day long. Su Jinyao lay on the kang and laughed secretly for a while, feeling that this kind of life was really interesting, so she fell asleep in a daze.
I slept well this night, and Su Jinyao was very energetic after getting up. Getting up and going to the courtyard, Sophie was preparing breakfast as usual, and Xiao Cheng'er helped to light the fire, and wrote on the ground with a charred stick.
Not to mention, the words written on this carbonized stick are also black, and Xiaocheng'er writes very well, so it looks decent.
As soon as she saw Su Jinyao get up, Xiao Cheng'er habitually stood up and went to wash Su Jinyao's face.
Su Jinyao watched Sophie Er busy in the kitchen, and said, "Eldest sister, it's hard work", and then came to the yard again, stretched her legs, twisted her waist, and moved her muscles.
Xiao Cheng'er came over with the washed water, put the basin down and watched Su Jinyao twist her waist and kick her legs there. After watching it for a while, I followed suit.
Xiaocheng'er is still young, coupled with long-term malnutrition, his body bones are thinner, and he looks one or two years younger than his actual age, so his body bones are also very soft.
Su Jinyao saw that Xiaocheng'er was learning from herself, so she deliberately made it more difficult and did some more difficult yoga movements, all of which were mainly stretching and required strong balance ability.
Xiaocheng'er was a little weird at the beginning, but after repeatedly following Su Jinyao to learn a few movements, it became more standard.
It wasn't until Su Jinyao finished a set of simple yoga movements that Xiao Cheng'er took a hard breath, wiped the sweat from her head, and asked, "Second sister, what kind of kung fu is this, so difficult to learn?" Is it true that if you learn this, you will be able to fight like you? ”
"Flutter" Su Jinyao laughed and said: "This is not much kung fu, but it can stretch the muscles and bones, increase the flexibility and balance of the body, and also relax the nerves, so that the breathing and heart rate can reach an optimal state." However, you can try to practice more, and when your body is fully stretched, the second sister will teach you a few more powerful tricks. ”
The tricks that Su Jinyao knows are basically a lethal move. So this kind of trick doesn't need to teach Xiaochenger too much, as long as there are a few tricks that can be learned and skilled, it is a life-saving and lethal trick.
Xiao Cheng'er is very serious, and everything that Su Jinyao taught him is a serious practice over and over again.
Su Jinyao went to wash her face, and Xiao Cheng'er was still pondering the few yoga movements she had just learned.
Su Jinyao washed her face and looked at it again, Xiao Cheng'er broke one of her legs to the side of her ear, and the flexibility was really good.
"Xiaocheng'er, you don't have to practice all the time, practice a set of movements every day, calm your mood, and adjust your breathing. It's useless to practice too much, and it's easy to strain. After Su Jinyao explained a few more words, she asked Xiao Cheng'er to wash her hands and go into the house with her to eat.
After entering the house, Sophie had just set up the dishes and chopsticks and was serving dinner. Seeing Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er coming in, he asked curiously, "What kind of kung fu did you hear you say in the courtyard just now?" ”
"It's not a practice, I don't know that kind of kung fu with horse steps and iron plate bridges. It's just that he can know a few killer moves, and slowly teach Xiaocheng'er in the future, so that he can have the ability to defend himself. Su Jinyao took the meal that Su Fei'er had served, and turned around to deliver food to Su Xiangui.
Su Fei'er listened to Su Jinyao's words, and the bowl she handed out was trembling, and she hurriedly asked, "Jinyao, what kind of killing move are you talking about?" Can it really ...... Can you kill people? ”
"What if I say 'yes'?" Su Jinyao looked at Sophie's appearance and said deliberately.
"Well, don't teach it to the city. He's still young. Sophie was startled and said hurriedly.
But looking at Su Jinyao's smiling appearance, you know that she deliberately scared herself. glanced at Su Jinyao and said, "Scare me again." You can't make this kind of joke, so don't mess with this killer move. Even if you can, you can hide, and the city really can't learn. ”
As he was talking, he saw Sophie poke her head out of the house. However, after glancing at Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er, he snorted again and retracted his head again.
Su Jinyao felt funny when she saw Sophie's probe probing her brain.
