Chapter 186
Su Jinyao deliberately grimaced and laughed with everyone. Inadvertently, I also remembered the fat Zhang Lizheng, I don't know if he is still squatting in the toilet now? Or is it that it has been pulled to dehydration and is lying on the kang?
Dad has a sentence that is not wrong, if anyone dares to offend Su Jinyao, there is no good (rì) seed, and there is no good fruit to eat. However, Su Jinyao thinks that she is still reasonable, she will not provoke others easily, and others should not worry about scraping benefits from her (shēn).
The one who ate the meal (rè) (rè) made a fuss, and agreed on the division of labor for tomorrow, and (chūn) Niu and Siping went back. Before leaving, Niu (chūn) Niu also discussed with Su Jinyao what dishes to use in Xiaoshuipu tomorrow, and when she and Siping went home, they booked the types of vegetables with Aunt Niu on the way.
Su Jinyao sent the chūn girl out and said, "Thank you, chūn, I have to trouble your family to run around in the morning and pick up the dishes." ”
(chūn) Niu smiled and said, "Isn't tomorrow a holiday for us, what's the point of picking two baskets of vegetables?" It's really rare to meet such a good owner as you, and there is actually a boss who is busy with his own work, so let's take a vacation. I'm leaving, I'll just make noodles in the evening, and tomorrow morning I will steam the steamed buns and send them to the small water shop with fresh vegetables. ”
Su Jinyao nodded, and stopped saying "thank you" again. She treats (chūn) girls as friends and partners, so she doesn't say much like this, otherwise she will see something else.
She gave Niu and Siping a day off, and also asked them to clean up the family's vegetable patch and crops. After all, Niu and Siping have been busy at Xiaoshuipu for a while, and it is not easy to even move the cooking utensils at home. After their holiday, the Su family had to help build a new house for half a month, and they must be tired. Su Jinyao can't use the kindness and kindness of the two of them as bargaining chips, and take advantage of them wholeheartedly, so that they can work all night.
After sending away (chūn) Niu and Siping, Su Jinyao beckoned Xiaocheng'er over and said, "The second sister agreed to teach you how to ride a horse." But I didn't have time before, and today I just took advantage of the after-dinner as a walk, and the second sister took you to take a walk. ”
"Second sister, you are so good." As soon as Xiao Cheng'er heard this, he came to his senses, personally went to untie the reins, and led the big black horse out.
Su Xiangui told through the window: "It's getting dark, you two don't play too late." Also, pay attention to safety. ”
"Yes, Dad, I know, you can rest assured. I'll be back in a moment. Su Jinyao agreed, took the reins from Xiao Cheng'er's hand, grabbed the horse's head and said, "Xiao Cheng'er, to learn to ride a horse, you must first learn to get on the horse." You've seen me ride a horse a few times, so let my dad see it now, and you'll be on the horse too. ”
Xiao Cheng'er had already tried Yueyue (yù), but because he listened to Su Jinyao's words, he had never led the horse out to play. Now Su Jinyao let him get on the horse, but he was really happy from the bottom of his heart. Nodding, he grabbed the saddle with both hands, stepped on the stirrup with one left foot, kicked hard with his right leg, and jumped to the horse.
However, after all, it was the first time for Xiao Cheng'er to get on the horse, because the timing of stepping on the horse's back was not mastered, this time it was leaping (tǐng) high, but he did not step on it all at once, and his legs slid down the saddle. Fortunately, he had to hold on to the saddle, otherwise he would have to fall off his horse and sit on a pier.
Xiao Cheng'er's face suddenly turned red, grabbed the saddle and swallowed his saliva twice, looking at Su Jinyao with a little timidity in his eyes, not knowing whether to continue.
Su Jinyao gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xiaocheng'er, the second sister didn't expect you to jump so high, it's really amazing." Although I didn't go up the first time, your (shēn) method is dexterous and the steps are all right, but the timing of the straddle is not mastered. Try again, it's okay to try a few more times. My dad and I are both members of our own family, so you don't have to be afraid of jokes. ”
Xiao Cheng'er didn't expect Su Jinyao not to say that he was stupid, but also to praise him. But he was good at using his brain, and he didn't try it a second time right away, but lowered his head and thought about Su Jinyao's previous actions on the horse, and secretly imagined in his heart that after doing it a few times, he started the second attempt.
This time, Xiaocheng'er moved much slower to get on the horse, and the momentum was not so great. But it was also a lot more stable, with a kick of his right leg, (shēn) Zi jumped high, saw the opportunity to straddle the horse with different legs, and this time he rode directly on the back of the horse.
"Good son!" Su Xiangui kept watching in the room, and couldn't help but praise it, and suddenly his eyes were (rè).
He (shēn) was a man, and he also had a cavity (rè) of blood, but his leg was broken, let alone riding a horse, and he couldn't even stand up. But seeing that his son was out of breath and would have the opportunity to ride a horse and gallop in the future, his full heart (rè) suddenly came to his eyes.
Then, Su Xiangui looked at Su Jinyao, who was encouraging and praising Xiaocheng'er, with gratitude, and breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that having such a daughter was really a blessing in his life.
Su Jinyao did give Xiaocheng'er a lot of praise, and Xiaocheng'er sat on horseback and scratched the back of his head, smirking "hehe", "hehe", "hehe". After all, it's a child, the heart is still playing, and I like to be praised, but my heart is not beautiful, and my face is smiling.
Su Jinyao still grabbed the reins, let Xiao Cheng'er sit firmly, and said: "Okay, the first step is to pass the test temporarily, the second sister will lead the horse to take you around, you master the skill of sitting on the horse, and stabilize the (shēn) shape." After a while, you will have to train yourself to pull the reins and get on the horse, see if you can stabilize the horse's head, and then let go of your hand and let you try to ride the horse on your own. Learn slowly, step by step, you can't just learn to run at once, you know? ”
One of the advantages of Xiaochenger is that he is open-minded and steady, not as impetuous and reckless as children of the same age, and can listen carefully to Su Jinyao's teachings. So when Su Jinyao said it again, he nodded seriously, indicating that he would not be in a hurry.
Su Jinyao said hello to Su Xiangui, waved her hand, and led the horse to lead the small city forward. While walking, he also told Xiaochenger about the essentials and precautions of horseback riding. When to retract the reins, when to let go, how to pull the horse's head when turning, and how to light (shēn) to match the horse's movements, all carefully explained to Xiaocheng'er.
Xiao Cheng'er listened very attentively, and he could also draw some questions based on Su Jinyao's explanation. It can be seen that when he listens, he is also thinking about various actions with his heart, which is also very rare.
The two sisters and brothers pulled the horse and walked for more than 100 steps, Su Jinyao threw the reins in her hand to Xiao Cheng'er, and said to him: "Take the reins yourself, try to get off the horse, and then go up again." Follow the steps I just told you and see how well you can control the horse yourself. ”
Xiao Cheng'er reached out and took the reins, and took a deep breath, and the watch (qíng) looked very serious. And he didn't do it immediately, but continued to think about the essentials that Su Jinyao had just told him in his heart, and copied it in his mind a few times, and then he was ready to get off the horse.
Dismounting is completely different from getting on the horse, as long as you are not a master and jump off the horse, you have to step down facing the horse. At such a time, there is only a saddle in front of you, and you can't look down at your feet, so it's impossible to know how high you can step on the ground under your feet, so your mental requirements are still relatively high.
Xiao Cheng'er dismounted for the first time, and he was obviously a little nervous holding the reins in his hand, and he was afraid that the big movement would make the horse unstable, and the slightest movement of the horse might affect his dismounting.
Su Jinyao reminded at this time: "Dismount steadily and quickly, and don't drag your movements, don't let the horse feel that you are cautious or scared." Horses also have thoughts, and it may be bullied. If you are bullied by it once, it will be difficult to control it in the future. ”
After listening to this, Xiao Cheng'er moved neatly, but he seemed a little eager. So when I came down, I was a little embarrassed, I didn't stand firm and took two steps back, and I was helped by Su Jinyao.
Su Jinyao patted Xiao Cheng'er on the shoulder and said, "It's already very good to be able to do this for the first time on a horse, and the second sister is very confident in you." After speaking, he took the reins, handed him them, and said, "This time you will lead the horse yourself, get on the horse, slowly control the horse to turn around, go home, and then dismount." With all these things done, today's homework will be considered a successful completion. ”
Xiao Cheng'er's eyes were shining, and he took the reins excitedly and took a deep breath. Then tighten the reins, step on the stirrups, straddle the horse's back, and jump on the horse in one go. If it weren't for the fact that Su Jinyao was a master of horse riding, she wouldn't even be able to see that Xiao Cheng'er had just started to learn to ride horses.
When Xiaocheng'er got on the horse, he had to pull the horse and turn his head according to the essentials that Su Jinyao had just explained to him. However, although it was a little clumsy and the horse was not particularly obedient, it was really very good for Xiao Cheng'er, a nine-year-old child, to try to control the horse for the first time.
By the time he walked back, he was much more familiar with the horse's control. Su Jinyao walked on his side (shēn), keeping a two-step distance from the horse, so that she could control the horse's head at once and ensure the safety of the small city in case of something uncontrollable, or a sudden situation (qíng).
However, it turned out that Su Jinyao was too worried, and Xiao Cheng'er's learning ability was stronger than she imagined. Although there were occasional uncontrolled qíng situations along the way, there were no dangerous situations, and I walked home safely.
Back at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Cheng'er tightened the reins as usual, turned (shēn) and dismounted, this time it was much cleaner than the last time, and stood firmly on the ground.
When he stood firm (shēn) shape, Xiao Cheng'er's face was filled with joy and surprise, and he was stunned for a while before he looked up and asked Su Jinyao, "Second sister, do I know how to ride a horse?" Did I learn to ride a horse? ”
"Yes, you can be regarded as learning, Xiaocheng, you learn so fast. In the future, as long as you practice diligently, you will ride faster and more steadily. Su Jinyao immediately encouraged Xiao Cheng'er for the first time, but then said: "However, at the beginning, you had to follow the second sister every time you rode a horse, you know?" Don't be arrogant, don't really think you know, just ride out casually, in case you fall, it's not a joke. ”
Xiao Cheng'er nodded vigorously and agreed. Then as soon as he looked up, he saw that Su Xiangui was still looking out by the window, it should have been relieved since the two of them went out. Xiao Cheng'er shouted excitedly: "Dad, have you seen it?" I came back on horseback myself, I will ride a horse. ”
"Yes, Daddy saw it. Dad is happy for Xiaocheng'er. Su Xiangui said, and quietly touched the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. He really didn't expect that the Su family would have such a day.
In the past, the Liu family was the poorest family in Pingshan Village, not to mention, and there was a silly girl, who was ridiculed by others I don't know how many times. The eldest daughter can only earn some copper plates by washing other people's clothes every day, exchange some brown rice and oil, and save salt to eat. The youngest son is only seven or eight years old, and he has to go up the mountain to chop firewood, and he has to pick some mountain treasures by the way, also in exchange for money to supplement the family. Thinking about Yao Er, a silly girl who has always been ridiculed by the villagers, she also knows how to go to beat pigweed for copper plates, and come back and quietly stuff it under her kang mat.
At that time, the son was worried about his heart, but Su Xiangui gritted his teeth and persevered, hoping to watch the children grow up and the family get better, even if he died, he could close his eyes.
But now, it's really a sea change. It's time to build a new house, and there are chickens and baby goats in the yard, and a big black horse. The son is also going to school, and the two daughters are becoming more and more smart like flowers. And all of this is because of Jin Yao.
Su Jinyao watched Xiaocheng'er happily run to the house to show off with Sophie, and she led the horse into the yard. He tied the horse and added some fodder. Then he walked out of Su Xiangui's window, leaned on the windowsill and looked at Su Xiangui's excited face through the window, and said with a smile: "Dad, isn't such a good (rì) son particularly comfortable?" I see you, I'm about to cry when I'm moved. ”
"Yes, Daddy is happy." Su Xiangui was embarrassed by what Su Jinyao said, a smile appeared on his face, and he reached out and touched Su Jinyao's head, and said, "Dad is moved, and I am even more grateful to you." Jinyao, Dad knows that you brought all this, and Dad is grateful to you from the bottom of his heart. ”
"Daddy......" Su Jinyao is not a person who incites (qíng), but she is also a little choked.
She lowered her head and let Su Xiangui slowly stroke her hair, and whispered: "Actually, the home that my father, Xiaocheng'er, and eldest sister gave me are the most touching to me." I think it's good to have you, I don't even know how to repay you. I used to live a lifeless (rì) life, it was like I was in hell, I never laughed happily once, and I didn't know what sunshine was; Even when the pain reaches the bone marrow, you can't cry. But now it's different, I have a family and relatives, so I know what it means to be happy in suffering, and I know how happy it is to build a home with my own hands (qíng). Looking at the smiles on your faces fills my heart with sweetness. ”
"Jinyao ......" Su Xiangui was also excited, but he didn't fully react when he listened to Su Jinyao's words. He also thought that Su Jinyao was saying that she was a stupid girl in the past. Thinking of this, Su Xiangui was even more distressed, and said in a soft voice: "Jin Yao, my father knows that you are also suffering, it turns out that you just don't know your brain, but you are bitter in your heart, you understand everything, right?" Thankfully, you're all right now, all right. ”
Su Jinyao didn't continue to explain, just lying on the windowsill, enjoying the kindness (ài) given to her by her father, and her eyes were moist.
That night, Su Jinyao slept very soundly, and in her dream she dreamed of her mother when she was in the orphanage. The old dean is over seventy years old, and Su Jinyao is the last child she receives. She fed Su Jinyao the first bite of food, supported her arms with both hands to learn to walk, combed her pigtails, and told her that she was the most beautiful angel.
But suddenly one day, the old dean's mother slept for a long time and didn't get up, and the children in the entire orphanage cried, and Su Jinyao also cried, but she didn't know what happened to the old dean's mother. Later, there was a new dean's mother, although this dean's mother would also comb the girl's braids and tie the boy's shoes, but Su Jinyao hated her. Because it was this dean's mother who stamped her adoption agreement, but she didn't seriously review who adopted her.
Then, Su Jinyao and the six children who were adopted from the orphanage together were sent to the isolated island. And there were dozens of other children of the same age on that isolated island, and they started a nightmarish life at that moment, until in the end, only Su Jinyao left the isolated island alive until ...... The end of her last life.
Of course, Su Jinyao's dream is only the previous paragraph, and there is only her own (ài) old dean's mother. So after Su Jinyao woke up, everything became so beautiful, as if she had never been adopted by the organization, and the old dean's mother sent her directly to this home.
Today's work is already full, (chūn) Niu and Siping are on holiday, so Su Jinyao has to go to Zhoujiayao to order adobe bricks. Xiaocheng'er still goes to the small water shop first, at least it won't be empty, so that the guests can come and have a cup of sweet spring water to drink.
With the big dark horse, Su Jinyao is not afraid of the long road at all. She also asked about the way to Zhoujiayao in advance, and heard that they were all very easy roads, so she could run back and forth in more than an hour by riding a horse.
When she went out, Su Jinyao said to Su Fei'er: "Eldest sister, I forgot to tell you yesterday, you have a top important thing to do today." ”
"Jinyao, you say, I don't want you all to be busy, just me being idle at home." When Sophie heard that something (qíng) had arranged for her to do, her interest was surprisingly high.
Su Jinyao said: "When our family builds a new house, in addition to the salary, we also have to take care of a lunch for those masons." There are seven or eight of those workers, plus (chūn) Niu and Siping, and four people in our family, that is a dozen people to eat. There is definitely not enough food in our family, so you have to ask who has surplus grain, rice and noodles, corn and red beans, but the rice has to be polished rice, and the noodles must be good and white. Buy a lot, as cheap as possible to be cheaper, but if you really can't be cheap, you have to ask the family who sold the food to send you back, our family is not enough, no one has the time to carry it back. ”
