Because they got the letter first, the Su family prepared melon seed tea early and waited for the official messenger to come to the door.

The messenger struck the gong step by step, and shouted at the same time: "Dongquan Village, Su family Su Shan, the last place in the second list, high school people." ”

shouted all the way from Liangguancheng to Dongquan Village, until the front of the Su family. shouted loudly at the neighbors, and then asked Su Chengqi for a salute.

"Su Shan is the last on the B list, Li Dalang is the tenth on the first list, who is higher and who is low?"

"What a fool, A and B, A and B, you can't even figure out who is big and who is small? Let's talk about the last place and the tenth place, which can always tell who is high and who is low. ”

The Su family kid is actually the last one, which is too ugly. It's better to go to Li's house to enter, it's your own family over there.

There were quite a few people who had this idea, and many of them slipped away.

Su Chengqi was invisible, and greeted the person who reported the news: "Thank you, thank you, please drink some tea and eat some pumpkin seeds." ”

Su Lingyu comforted Su Li's, "Don't be sad. Su Shan is two years younger than Li Yongzhi, don't bully the poor boy, Su Shan may not be worse than others. ”

The little displeasure in Su Li's heart disappeared, "You, you can coax people." "What's the end, I can finally get in." It's much better than those who fell off the list. ”

"Old lady, you have to pay attention to the threshold of your house, don't accidentally let me out." Su Lingyu walked in with his hands behind his back.

"Wherever you say, you have to raise you until you are fifteen or sixteen years old, and then you can talk about marriage." Su Li followed and beckoned the guests to go.

Greeting guests is an adult's business, and Su Lingyu is responsible for taking care of the two small ones.

In the past, it was someone else who helped her tie Xiao Tu, but now she is helping Kapok Tie Xiao Tu, and she tied Xiao Tu into a little chicken leg. Kapok ran around with two small chicken legs.

However, she was carrying two buns on her head, and her hair was black and dense with her mother's parents, and she wanted to make it into two braids, but unfortunately Su Zhang disagreed.

The twilight quadrangle guests dispersed, and Su Chengqi drove the carriage to send people back in person.

The tired Su Lishi pulled up the trouser tube to soak his feet, and the little feet of Kapok slapped the water inside, splashing everywhere, wetting Su Lishi's trousers.

"Little trick-or-treater, it's time to go to sleep." Su Lingyu picked up Kapok and sent her into the house.

After coaxing Kapok, she came to Su Zhang's room and gave her a massage.

Su Zhang enjoyed San'er's massage, and gently patted Xiao Wu's arm, "After they come back, how should this banquet be arranged?" How many dishes should I make? It's going to cost a lot of money. ”

When children go to private school, they don't need much money. After they pass the Xiucai exam, they enter the academy to study, which requires no money.

The shackles handed over to Mr., the cost of food, clothing, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the two Xiao Si, it took a year's savings here.

If it is a big banquet, I am afraid that I will not be able to take out the silver money that Su Shan will enter Beijing; If the banquet is not good, I am afraid of laughter.

Su Lingyu pinched her mother's neck and said with a smile: "What's so difficult." Tomorrow, you go to discuss with Yu Niang, this celebration banquet should not be compared, and the ten dishes are perfect and just right. ”

Su Zhangshi paused, "Isn't ten dishes too much?" ”

"Not much, listen to me. The middle move is a great joy, and it should be done in a big way. Ten dishes is not much. A table of half chicken, followed by gourd gourd bone broth, cucumber fried lean meat, loofah fried lean meat, fungus fried lean meat, tofu stewed snail meat, stir-fried yellow eel.

Then come a fish, cut the fish into pieces, wrap it in flour, put it in a frying pan, and serve it according to the number of heads. One person, no one is too many, no one is no less. ”

"That's not enough, it's only eight dishes."

Su Lingyu's hands were tired, so he stopped and kneaded himself, "Let's have a plate of stir-fried Chinese cabbage, which is considered a vegetarian dish." Another plate of fried soybeans to coax those children. ”

"We have pigs, chickens, snails, and yellow eels, and we don't need a lot of money for our own things. It's just a little troublesome, after you discuss it with Yu Niang tomorrow, go to the village.

I want to talk to the aunts who are good with you and ask who is willing to help. At that time, each person will be given two catties of soybeans and rice beans. I did the preliminary work first, and when they came back, it was not so rushed. ”

Put the hot hand on the mother's neck and continue to massage her.

Su Zhang enjoyed it, "You have arranged everything for your mother, it seems that it is useless to be a mother." ”

"San'er is just talking about it, and you have to implement it before it can be done. If you don't do it, I'm talking nothing. It was almost time, and she was tired, so she stopped.

Su Zhang put Xiao Wu down, picked up the oil lamp and sent San'er back, "Don't wait for the door when you go to sleep, your father is afraid that he will stay at your Uncle Wang's house tonight." ”

"Okay."

…………

In recent years, two more caravans have gone to Dawei, and the caravans of Dawei have also come here, and many horse caravans have arrived in the streets of Liangguancheng.

The shopkeepers who greeted the guests all ran out of the street to grab the customers, and ate the shouts of the restaurant: "The chicken in Dongquan is tender and delicious; The water of Lushan is sweet and thirst-quenching; Thumb rhubarb eel, stir-fried and stewed. ”

The silk shop's shouting: "Cloth samples from Kyoto, silk from Jiangnan, and cotton cloth from Dawei are all there." ”

The goods shook the little bell, "Coo-coo, coo-coo, coo-coo, shake coo-coo." ”

In the midst of the crowd, Su Chengqi drove the carriage into the city gate.

When the news of high school came, the children wrote with the date of their homecoming, but the difficult journey always delayed time. In the past few days, he and Li Dan have taken turns to enter the city, waiting for the sons and daughters who have returned home.

On this day, there were also San'er and Kapok who entered the city together, San'er and Kapok sat on the big winter melon, and San'er's calf just reached the car board. Kapok dangles from its calves and sways on the winter melon.

The passer-by saw the things under the buttocks of the two dolls and said in surprise: "My family's zucchini (scientific name winter melon) has just been planted, and yours can be sold." ”

Su Chengqi looked back at the winter melon and said with a smile: "My winter melon is raised indoors in winter, and when the weather is warm next year, I will plant it in the ground." As long as the fertilizer is enough, the fruit will be guaranteed. ”

"Great nephew, you have entered the city. Yo, this is not San'er! It's rare for San'er to enter the city once, what do you want to eat? Uncle bought it for you. "Lao Li Tou passed by Nanshi and looked for someone to sit on a horsewhip, but he didn't expect to meet his eldest nephew.

Su Lingyu counted his fingers as he spoke, "Gao Ji roast chicken, sauce elbow, sauce and kidney beans from Yixiao Lou, Li Ji's secret fruits, and ......."

Lao Li's eyelids jumped, and let Su San'er count it again, he had to break the fortune today. "Enough, enough. The old man doesn't have so much money, so I'll invite you to eat another day. ”

In Su Lingyu's "stinginess", Lao Li waved his hand and left.

Su Chengqi parked at the vegetable market in Nanshi, asked someone he knew to take care of the children, and then said to San'er: "Dad will go to the carriage and horse shop to inquire first, you wait for a while." ”

Su Lingyu waved his hand, swallowed melon seeds and fed the melon kernels to Kapok, and without looking at passers-by, he casually called, "Sell melons." ”

The three-year-old kapok has a small milk voice, and the glutinous glutinous followed by the sentence "selling melons".

The big lazy voice: "Sell melons." ”

The small glutinous one said: "Sell melons." ”

Like a frog in a pond, one big and one small, croaking.
