Chapter 66: Blockage
But I have to say that Su Xiangui's words really made Su Jinyao feel heartwarming.
If Su Xiangui really saw something, but he had no doubts about himself, he just hoped that the silly girl was really good, hoped that the silly girl could be self-reliant, and didn't want this family to drag herself down, and even be able to understand and forgive herself for saying goodbye, that would be the real generosity.
"Xiaocheng'er, the second sister didn't want to leave, and the second sister won't leave. This is my home, our home. Su Jinyao showed a smile and promised: "As long as you don't drive me away, and you don't dislike me, I promise to stay in this house all the time." ”
"Second sister, how can I dislike you? Although Dad's leg is not good, he hurts you the most from the bottom of his heart. It turned out that when my mother was there, my mother loved my eldest sister and me the most, and then I hurt you. But Dad is different, Dad hurts you, it hurts to the bones. Dad also said that this is just right, and the three children are hurt and worried. The mother also laughed at him for being stupid, saying that the silly girl also followed her father. ”
Su Jinyao listened to Xiao Cheng'er's words and smiled. said: "Yes, since my father loves me so much, how can I leave." We are all a family, so what do you dislike? Don't talk about this, the second sister has made a big deal today, hurry up and go home, let's see today's results. ”
Xiaocheng'er heard that Su Jinyao had made a big deal, and he was also full of joy to tell Su Jinyao about his harvest in "Quanqing Bamboo Fragrance" today. first talked about how many guests came, and then said that a total of 48 wen was rewarded. When it came to rewarding money, Xiao Cheng'er said with some pride: "Today's harvest is better than yesterday's." Dad also calculated, the money for these two days is almost seventy, even if it is returned to the third aunt's family tomorrow, it is enough. After all, they are relatives, can they still say that a hundred is a hundred words? ”
Su Jinyao smiled and didn't say anything. She thinks that the third aunt's family is a person who calculates to the bones. I promised to give them 100 wen, and she would calculate that she could pick out 120 wen.
However, Su Jinyao still touched Xiao Cheng'er's brain and said, "The second sister knows that Xiaoshu is the most capable." This business is getting better and better. ”
After thinking about it, Su Jinyao said again: "But the second sister wants to tell you that although the business of this small water shop can be done often, it is not a daily profit. If you want to live a smooth life, it's okay, but if you want to develop, you need some time and investment. Let's plan slowly, guarding such a road is holding a cornucopia. At present, the number of cars and horses that come and go determines the amount of income you make. So don't think that every day will increase and suddenly become less and then unhappy, keep a normal mind. The second sister just wants you to get in touch with more people on that road, see more businessmen and officials, and broaden your horizons. This is a rare opportunity for children in the ravine to get before they go out. ”
Although Su Jinyao said more deeply, Xiao Cheng'er nodded after thinking about it and said that he understood. Then he said to Su Jinyao: "I know the second sister's thoughts, so even when there are no guests, I squat on the ground and practice the words that the second sister taught me." ”
"Well, that's good. The second sister promised you that the next time I have the opportunity to go to town, I will definitely buy you a book and come back. Su Jinyao made up her mind to cultivate Xiaocheng'er well.
The two sisters and brothers talked and laughed, and they arrived at the door of the house. The courtyard door of the Su family was open, and it was estimated that he was in a hurry when Xiaocheng'er came out, so he forgot to close it.
Su Jinyao carried the lantern into the door, then poked the lantern on the dried vegetable shelf next to it, and then turned back to help Xiaocheng'er pull the cart.
The small board car is designed to be small and convenient, so it is not difficult to pull the door in. Xiao Cheng'er put the small cart in the yard and began to unload things.
Su Jinyao said: "Xiaocheng'er, you move slowly first, and the second sister will come back to help you when she goes to say hello to her father." ”
"Okay, second sister, you can go. It's not much, it's not heavy, I'll just do it alone, and I'll be done quickly. Xiao Cheng'er said, and had already picked up the burden on top from the car. I heard a "bang", and it was heavy to start.
Xiao Cheng'er was stunned for a moment, handed the burden to Su Jinyao, and asked, "Second sister, what's in here?" So heavy? It seems to be ......"
Xiao Cheng'er can't guess what's in it, because it sounds like copper and iron? But how could he have thought that there were hundreds of dollars in this burden.
"If you can't guess, forget it. The second sister is hungry, and you finish moving the things for the second sister to eat. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she carried her burden and entered Su Xiangui's house.
The reason why she came to see Su Xiangui first was that she did make money, so she had to hand over these copper plates to Su Xiangui. Second, and most importantly, Su Jinyao accepted Su Xiangui's father from the bottom of her heart, and wanted to tell him that she had come back safely, and she would not have two thoughts about this family.
When Su Xiangui heard movement in the courtyard, he began to look towards the door, his earnest eyes full of complicated expectations and loving thoughts.
As soon as Su Jinyao pushed the door into the house, she happened to see Su Xiangui's expression, her heart warmed again, and she said sincerely: "Dad, I'm back." ”
"Hey, it's good to come back, it's good. Dad misses you, it's so late, how unsafe it is to walk alone at night. You'll have to come back sooner in the future. No, don't go far. Su Xiangui's eyes were hot, and he felt that his daughter had been lost. He always felt from the bottom of his heart that after Yao'er became Jinyao, there were too many things that were different, which made him always worry that he would suddenly lose this daughter. It's like ...... Lost her mother-in-law the same.
"Dad, I made a lot of money today." Su Jinyao saw that Su Xiangui's eyes were red, and her heart was a little uncomfortable. She hurriedly took the burden in her hand to the side of the kang, and after untying the burden, she made a "bang" and poured all the copper coins on the kang.
Su Xiangui looked at the copper plate that was rolling on a kang and was completely stunned. How long has it been since he's seen so many copper plates? When his leg was fine, he could make money, but it would take several days to earn so much.
However, Jinyao only went out for a day and came back with so much money?
"Jinyao, come here. Daddy has something to ask you. Su Xiangui's eyes originally flashed with shock and joy, but soon the joy subsided, followed by a serious coldness.
Su Jinyao was also stunned by Su Xiangui's sudden change of attitude. But then she understood that parents want their children to be well, but they are also most afraid that their children will go astray. If it is true that the child has gone astray, then no matter how much money is put in front of the parents, the parents will also be sad.
Su Jinyao estimated that her father saw that she came back with so much money at once, and misunderstood. So he hurriedly walked up to Su Xiangui, squatted down and raised his head, and explained softly: "Dad, Jinyao is a good boy and hasn't done anything bad. Neither steal nor rob, let alone pick up other people's money on the road and collect it with a conscience. This is really earned by Jin Yao's painstaking efforts. ”
After speaking, Su Jinyao reached out and grabbed Su Xiangui's sleeve, shook it gently, and continued with a little bit of the meaning of the little daughter being coquettish to her father: "You listen to me explain to you slowly, don't be in a hurry to blame me, okay?" I'll talk to you about it now, and I'll give you an account. ”
Su Jinyao didn't hide anything from Su Xiangui, so she told her that she went to pick up some broken bowls to sell first, and then used all the money to buy Da Chen's chickens and sell them. Although the process may not be smooth, Su Jinyao doesn't know how to comment on books, so she just gave a rough idea.
In the end, Su Jinyao said: "Dad, today's income was originally 870 Wen, but I spent 265 Wen without authorization and bought two pieces of fabric for each of you to make clothes." In addition, he also bought Da Chen's remaining cage of chickens, and it cost another one hundred and fifty yuan. Because I came back late and spent some extra fares, the rest of these are now more than four hundred and forty dollars. ”
"Is it really the money you make? Of course, Dad believes that you are a good boy, and he does not doubt you. Su Xiangui also stretched out his hand, touched Su Jinyao's head and said: "Dad only hopes that you are good, I hope you will not suffer hardships and losses, and marry a good family in the future, your in-laws will not bully you, and your man will know that it is enough to hurt you." Dad can't ask for this money, and he doesn't dare to ask for it. This is all your hard-earned money, that is your money, you can keep it yourself, Dad doesn't want a penny. ”
As he spoke, Su Xiangui gathered all the money sprinkled on the kang into a pile and pushed it in front of Su Jinyao. With tears in his eyes, he said excitedly: "My family's Jinyao is really capable, and she is a good child, my father is very happy, and your mother will be very comforted if she knows." ”
"Daddy......" Su Jinyao stood up and pressed Su Xiangui's hand, and her voice was a little choked: "You and your mother gave birth to me and raised me, you don't dislike me for being stupid for so many years, and you still hurt me wholeheartedly." Now that I'm fine, I know that it's so good to me, we are a family, what else do you and mine do? Of course, you are the owner of our family. Even if your leg is broken, as long as there is a father in this family, there will be a pillar. Jinyao also said that she will let you all live a good life in the future, isn't our good life coming. ”
Su Xiangui's hand was held down by Su Jinyao, still trembling. Of course, this more than 400 yuan is not a huge amount of money, and it is not enough to make him so excited. I was excited that their family's Jinyao was so sensible and capable.
"Dad, keep it. But you have to promise me, what use do I really want in the future, you have to support me unconditionally with this money, okay? Su Jinyao smiled and helped Su Xiangui put the money in the baggage, not forgetting to smile and joke, which can be regarded as easing the heartwarming and sensational atmosphere.
Su Xiangui hurriedly said: "That's natural, Jinyao, your brain, whether you want to do business or open a shop in the future, you can call the shots of our family's affairs anyway." You insist on putting this money here with your father, and your father just helps you watch it and ensures that not a penny will be missing. ”
"Okay, then let Dad keep it for me. In the future, we will make more money, and life will get better and better. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she deliberately rubbed her stomach and said, "Dad, I haven't eaten yet, I'm starving." I'm going to eat. ”
"Jinyao ......" Su Xiangui hesitated halfway through his words, but finally said: "We haven't eaten at home, and we have been waiting for you to come back." Can you ask Cheng'er and Fei'er to bring the food over and we can eat in my house?" ”
Su Jinyao knew that Su Xiangui was happy in his heart, so he wanted to have fun with the children. This is a good thing, it's better than every time Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er come, Su Xiangui is afraid that he will stink and dare not let them stay in this house.
Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Why not?" Absolutely. I'll call the little town. Su Jinyao said and went out, but turned back to Su Xiangui and said, "Dad, I may have to go out often in the future, and occasionally come back late, don't wait for me, eat first." ”
"Jinyao, if it's hard, be at home. Dad doesn't want a good day, just wants all of you to be smooth and healthy. You're a daughter's family again, so don't do too hard work. Su Xiangui remembered that Su Jinyao said that she picked up the broken bowls that others didn't want to sell, and she was still distressed for a while. I only hate that I can't move my legs, otherwise, even if he is asked to pick up rags, he will have to feed three children.
Su Jinyao turned her head and grimaced at Su Xiangui, and said playfully: "I was a stupid girl before, and I will be a crazy girl in the future, but I can't be idle." It's okay, no one can bully me, it's all me who bullies others, and it will definitely not be hard. If it's too late, I'll eat out and come back, and you won't have to wait for me. ”
"Hey, okay, let's eat out when it's late, but don't starve yourself." Su Xiangui nodded at this time, quite bitter.
Su Jinyao ran to the yard with a smile and saw Xiaocheng'er pulling vegetable leaves and throwing them into the chicken coop. When she saw Su Jinyao coming out, she said happily: "Second sister, these chickens are really fat, and most of them are hens." I'll build a chicken coop early tomorrow morning, and we'll have chickens in the future. It's nice to be able to lay eggs and eat meat. ”
"Hehe, okay, whatever you like, whatever. is a stew a day to eat, and the second sister can afford you. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pulled Xiaocheng'er and said, "It's okay to feed it, don't you feel distressed about the vegetable leaves for the chickens?" Buy some rice bran tomorrow and feed it, anyway, the chickens can't see anything at night, and they can't eat anything. Dad said let's go to his house for dinner, so let's go. You haven't eaten yet, so hurry up and wash your hands and set the table. ”
"Hey, okay." Xiao Cheng'er agreed, but pulled a handful of cabbage leaves and stuffed them into the chicken coop. It seems that this kid really likes these chickens.
However, Su Jinyao can also understand that for such a poor Su family, they can't even afford to eat eggs, let alone that there are so many chickens now.
Xiaocheng'er fetched water and asked Su Jinyao to wash his hands together. While washing his hands, he asked, "Second sister, I see you still buy meat?" ”
"Gluttonous cats. Not only did I buy meat, but I also bought pork bones. But tonight it's too late for stew and bones, and I'm starving. I'll cut some shredded meat in a while, let's fry some cabbage and eat it. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she shook off the water in her hand, wiped it with a cloth towel, and entered the kitchen.
The fire on the kitchen stove was still burning, so there was no oil lamp, and the Su family had always done this in order to save lamp oil. Su Jinyao was a little uncomfortable when she came in, so she touched the edge of the table and found the flint to polish it, and lit the oil lamp. Only then did she suddenly find that Sophie was sitting on a small bench on the side, looking up at herself.
"Eldest sister, you are here." Su Jinyao patted her chest, she was really scared. She didn't know if it was because her life was more stable now, and her alertness in this house was not as high as before, which made Sophie sit not far from her, and she didn't even notice it.
"Scaring you?" Sophie asked, the expression on her face a little strange.
"No, I didn't know you were here." Su Jinyao didn't care about Su Fei'er's expression, but thought that yesterday's anger hadn't disappeared. That's how the little girl is awkward, Su Jinyao doesn't want to mind, it is estimated that she will be fine in a few days. Or show her the fabric you bought, and that's it.
Su Jinyao just lowered her head to look for vegetables, she remembered hearing Sophie Er say that she asked her father for money to buy vegetables when she went out. But Su Jinyao didn't even eat in the morning, and she didn't know if Sophie had bought it.
Looking down for the vegetable basket, Su Jinyao suddenly heard Sophie seem to sneer.
Su Jinyao was stunned, thinking that she had heard it wrong. Looking up again, I saw Sophie standing up, with an unhappy face, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't do bad things, what are you afraid of." With that, Sophie went out.
What's wrong? Su Jinyao was even more confused. She wasn't at home all day, but she didn't offend Sophie. But listening to the meaning of Sophie's words, it is aimed at herself at all.
Su Jinyao was puzzled and lifted out the vegetable basket, and there was indeed a small cabbage inside, as well as half a Chinese cabbage, a few eggplants, and two potatoes.
At this time, it was too late to do anything else, Su Jinyao opened the pot and saw that the big stove was made with cabbage and stewed potatoes. Looking at the dish, you can know that it was made by Sophie, it is not very good-looking, and it is estimated that the taste is average.
Su Jinyao is not a picky eater, and she has no dislike for it. It's just that I just promised to make shredded pork cabbage for Xiaocheng'er, so I opened the minced meat wrapped in lotus leaves, picked out a large piece of meat and cut it into shredded meat, and then went to pick the cabbage.
It was only when I picked out the cabbage one by one that I found that these cabbages were not very fresh, the leaves were yellow, wilted, and a few were rotten.
Look at the cabbage and eggplant in the basket, the cabbage is a normal dish, easy to place, so you can't see anything. But the eggplant didn't look so good, and two of the eggplants still had spots on them. And the potatoes are small, as if they are not open. She wouldn't want such a dish if she gave it to Su Jinyao.
Su Jinyao frowned, thinking that this shouldn't be the dish sold by Aunt Li's family, right? Every time Su Jinyao goes to Aunt Li's house to buy vegetables, her family's vegetables are freshly picked in the field, but they are fresh. But these little cabbages in front of me have been picked for at least two days, and they will be rotten if they are not put well.
Su Jinyao's heart was blocked, afraid that Sophie would go out again to ask for someone else's rotten vegetables to come back? But I had the heart to ask and tell her that whether it was given by someone else or bought by her, she didn't want it in the future. But thinking about Sophie's attitude just now, Su Jinyao stopped again.
