Chapter 7 The price of water has also risen
Su Li came back from worshipping the gods and Buddhas, and put the rice cakes in front of Su Lingyu, "The shopkeeper of the silk shop hugged his grandson and shared some rice cakes with us, and we touched his blessings." ”
Su Shan heard that there were rice cakes, and his nose was more sensitive than that of a dog, so he sniffed it out, and stretched out his hand to ask his grandmother what he wanted to eat.
"It's about to be eaten, what are you going to eat?" Su Li slapped Su Shan's hand.
Su Shan is not happy, there is an eccentric mother at home, and grandma is also eccentric, does this make sense? Or is it a family?
Su Lingyu didn't love this kind of rough raw food, so she divided the rice cake into two and gave it to Su Shan, "one person...... Halfway. ”
It means that he and Su Chong, one and a half.
"It's better to be a sister!" Su Shan jumped to find his brother, swallowed the rice cake in his hand in three or two bites, and stole a small piece of his brother.
The harmony between brother and sister is what Su Li is happy to see. She knew that San'er wouldn't eat alone, so every time she got a snack, she gave it to San'er first.
Su Li picked up the picker and prepared to carry water.
It's getting hotter and hotter day by day, San'er loves to be clean, and he doesn't want to go to bed without taking a bath at night. I had to pick up some water and boil it for her.
The water of the moat is turbid, and feces are often floating, and I dare not go down to the river to wash my clothes, let alone carry water to drink. If you want to fetch water in the city, you have to go to the house of someone who has a well.
A penny and a load of water, although it is not expensive, it is also distressing. A penny is difficult for a hero, a penny starves a family to death, and the copper plate in his hand has to save some money.
Su Li carried two large brown gray wooden barrels to Lai Heng's house not far away. This well water is sweet, the lady of the Lai family is easy to talk to, and she can not charge money when her relationship is good.
As usual, Su Li walked into the Lai family's compound and said to the Lai family's lady in the house: "Fen, I'll carry the water." ”
Saying that, Su Li got down to the wooden bucket to scoop water and carry water.
The lady of the Lai family lowered her eyelids and did not raise her head, and sat down on the edge of the stone table in the courtyard.
"This money, let's settle it together tomorrow." Su Li said with a smile.
The lady of the Lai family raised her head and said with a gloomy face: "One day at a time, this is the rule." ”
But who doesn't know that this rule is for outsiders, the two families have been in contact for a long time, and it is common for them to get married every two days. In the past, when carrying water, it was every two days. How did it change today?
"What's wrong with you? Got into a fight with whom? Su Li looked at the face of the lady of the Lai family, and put a penny on the stone table.
The lady of the Lai family raised her eyelids to look at people, "From today onwards, your family will pick up water and two pennies." ”
Su Li caught the key word, "Why is it only my family's two pennies?" Su Li put down his burden, "Tell me, what's wrong with my family?" Let you raise the water money. ”
"What's wrong with my house?" The lady of the Lai family slapped the table and stood up, angry, "The family is out." ”
"Look, look, your family Su Zhong made my family portrait like this. Do we still have feelings to talk about? ”
Look at this Lai Jiafu's nose and swollen face, the injury is not light.
Su Li put on a face, she was not easy to bully, and asked Xiaoer Lai Jiafu directly, "Why did you fight with Su Chong?" ”
"He hit me first. Su Shan hugged my waist, and Su Zhong slapped his face with his fist. If you don't believe me, go back and ask them. actually hit a classmate.,It's really an uneducated dog thing.。 ”
"Phew, shut your dog's mouth. At a young age, learn to swear with adults. If you learn from Mr., you can't change your market spirit? ”
Su Li despised Lai Jiafu, "Su Chong has been sensible since he was a child, and he doesn't take the initiative to provoke people." If you didn't do anything wrong, Su Chong and Su Shan would never beat you. ”
Her son was attacked and turned to her for comfort. The lady of the Lai family exploded, like the fierce hen who guarded the chicken, and said to Su Li's family, "Two bully one, don't want you to pay for medicine, it will be very embarrassing." You dare to shirk and say that my son is wrong. ”
"Your family is amazing, your family is very sensible, right? From today, two pennies and a load of water, if you give money, you will come to carry water, and you will get out of the house if you have no money. The lady of the Lai family hurriedly ran and kicked over Su Li's bucket, and two buckets full of water fell to the ground.
Wet the bluestone slab bricks, and also made a puddle. The lady of the Lai family still kicked the bucket and went out, "Get out, get out." ”
Su Li vigorously pushed away the lady of the Lai family with both hands, "Vixen, you kicked my bucket and asked you to pay for a new one." ”
"Phew, old pious woman." The lady of the Lai family spat on Su Li's body, "Get out, don't come to my house to fetch water again." ”
"Like you, a black-hearted person, you dare to raise money even if you have a load of water, and you are not afraid that Grandpa Lei will split you." Su Li struck the ground with a flat pole, "There is such a thing as you for the elderly? You are not afraid of retribution. Grandpa Lei hacked you to death. ”
The lady of the Lai family, closed the door panel, "Your family is still justified in beating people." Let's come and take a look, come and see, the Su family kid injured Jiafu, they didn't admit their mistakes, and they blamed my Jiafu for not having a good upbringing. ”
The lady of the Lai family pointed to the Su Li family and said to the neighbors: "If you do something wrong, you still come to scold people, do you still make sense to talk about this?" ”
Su Li stiffened his neck and choked, "Tell me what I scolded you?" Did I scold my family? ”
Su Chengqi, who got the news early, came to the door of Lai's house with Su Zhang, and pulled Su Li alone.
Su Chengqi said with a smile: "There is a misunderstanding in this matter, if there is a misunderstanding, let's dissipate the anger first, and then sit down and talk about it." ”
"Have a good talk? You cut a knife of meat, buy a pound of sugar to apologize, and we'll talk about it again. "The man in the family is not there, and the lady of the Lai family is not good to talk to Su Chengqi, so she retreats into the house and closes the door.
"Scattered, scattered." Su Chengqi dispersed everyone and took his mother home.
Entering the door, Su Chengqi had a gloomy face and looked for a stick in the firewood room.
Su Zhong and Su Shan were so frightened that they knelt down, Su Shan was extremely scared, and shouted again and again: "It's not us who caused trouble, it was Lai Jiafu who bullied us first." ”
Su Zhong said: "Su Shan couldn't eat enough, so he asked the fat cow for some food." Lai Jiafu said that we were as ugly as beggars. The next sound, Su Shan was hungry, so he ran to Mr.'s back kitchen and scooped some water to drink. Lai Jiafu spat in the bucket and falsely accused my husband of soiling my water. ”
If you don't explain the ins and outs clearly, what you are waiting for is the stick to knock the meat!
They didn't explain the rest of the story, and after class, Su Chong and Su Shan were angry, and quietly followed Lai Jiafu and beat him up.
Speaking of which, it is still poor, Su Chengqi is angry that he is useless, "Alas! "Throw the stick away.
Su Zhang wiped his tears and went to pull the sons up, "It's useless for my mother, my mother didn't let you have enough to eat." ”
Su Li hid in the silkworm room and secretly wiped away his tears. She's bitter in her heart!
Su Lingyu stared at the gourd melon, thinking about how to fill Su Shan's stomach.
The next day, Su Chengqi got up early, went to a distance to fetch water, and after the water tank was full, he filled a gourd of water and left the house. This is an angry attempt to go.
Hearing the tinkling of the kitchen, Su Lingyu got up, yawned and tied the belt, and stepped out of the threshold.
