The two of them were busy making breakfast, and then they began to call people to get up to eat.
Tong Ping put all the hot water into a wooden basin, mixed it with well water, and tested the temperature to be right, then put a hand towel to wipe his face next to him, waiting for them to get up to wash and eat.
Today's fertilizer is delivered, and the matter of ploughing the ground will start today, I don't know how many people the third uncle has found, and whether to give labor money or take care of the food at that time, I have to ask clearly for a while. It is best to pay wages, but I am afraid that they are all in the same village, and people do not agree, this is not a big job, it is a job that the crops and people do on weekdays, and it should be in charge of food.
"Sister Qing, hug Brother Qi. He wakes up late on weekdays, but this morning he wakes up, staring around, I guess he's looking for you. Su Shi came out with Brother Qi in his arms.
After taking over Brother Qi'er, this little guy grinned proudly in his arms, wanting to say a few words to him, but he didn't know what to say, his current performance is completely the performance of a child. Helpless, I had to whisper: "You are obedient, I will definitely not leave if I speak." There is a lot of work at home these days, and I can't take care of you, so you can take care of it. ”
Su Shi listened to it and smiled: "Sister Qing, you are still talking to him so seriously, he is only a little bit, where can he understand?"
"Otherwise, mother, I won't communicate with him in any other way, I have to tell him that I'm busy." Su Miaoqing replied.
Before the bowl of chopsticks was cleaned up, Tong Youzhi led a group of people to the door, led by the eldest brother of the Fang family.
"Second sister-in-law, the land behind can be turned over in one day, cook more at home at noon, the big guy eats and then does, it can also save time, and when it is finished, just feed it with fertilizer directly." Tong Youzhi said.
Most of these people came to work as small workers when they were building the house, and they were also familiar with the Su family, and they all followed them to the back of the house after saying hello. Anyone can do this work of ploughing the ground, and there is no need to assign it, and one person starts to do it close to a place. In their eyes, this is really not a good place, and they can't help but sigh in their hearts, there is no man in this family, it's really not good.
"Brother Rui, you and Xiaoxue went to the mountains to hunt some pheasants or something, there are a lot of people who eat at noon this day, where can you do it if you don't have any hard dishes?"
"Okay, got it."
Tong Chen Tong Yi looked at Su Miaoqing with blank eyes, his eyes full of longing.
"Alright, don't pretend to be pitiful, you can go with it."
Su Miaoqing cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with her hands and feet, lit a fire on the stove, and washed the dishes and chopsticks with hot water. You have to hurry up, there are a lot of things to do in a while.
"Sister Qingqing, I'll wash the dishes, you are busy with other things first." Tong Ping said obediently.
Su Miaoqing glanced at her and nodded: "Then you be careful, don't boil the water on this stove too hot, just be gentle." ”
"Don't worry, I've been helping my mother wash the dishes, and I'm very skilled." Tong Ping smiled.
"Sister Qingqing, I'll help Sister Ping'er wash it together, and I will too." Nan Nan also said with a wink.
"Okay, then I'll hand over the dishes and chopsticks to the two of you." Su Miaoqing smiled at the two little guys.
I turned around and went to the cellar to bring out the radish and cabbage, as well as the fungus mushrooms that were dried before, and then put them in the water and soaked them, and when Brother Rui and they came back, they could be used. There are more than a dozen people here to help turn the ground, a big pot of cabbage, a big pot of radish, and then a pot of mushroom stewed chicken, which can be regarded as sumptuous.
"Sister Qing, don't forget to boil water to cool down, they will definitely be very thirsty when they come back from work." Su Shi reminded in the courtyard with Brother Qi in his arms.
"Okay, I'll burn it in a while, it's cold outside my mother, you can take Brother Qi'er's house and go, I can be busy with this little thing." Su Miaoqing urged, "Brother Qi is too young now, if he gets sick, he will suffer." ”
Su Shi looked at it, and it was true that she could be busy, and she didn't insist, so she carried Brother Qi into the house.
"Little guy, you see, everyone is busy, and you and your mother are idle. You have to grow up quickly, and when you grow up, I can also help you take over the work. Su Shi teased Brother Qi.
Brother Qi'er's eyes rolled around, and the teasing Su Shi smiled.
"What a clever little guy, I don't know why your family was so ruthless at the beginning, fortunately, you were lucky to meet our Sister Qing, otherwise, you little guy doesn't know what it's like, this has grown up, but you have to be good to our Sister Qing." Su Shi said thoughtfully.
Although I was very grateful to the stupid woman for bringing me back, Brother Qi always couldn't help but want to complain about her. A modern person has crossed over, how does she feel like a native of the ancients, she can adapt to everything without entertainment programs, every day the parents are short, and she sleeps when it gets dark at night, if it weren't for the relationship between small babies, she is always willing to sleep, Brother Qi feels that she can suffocate to death.
Brother Qi snorted twice, and agreed with Su's statement, no matter what, he will definitely not be able to treat that stupid woman badly when he grows up in the future, but speaking of which, he will call her sister-in-law in the future, awkward
In the middle of noon, Tong Rui led Tong Chen and Tong Yi back from the mountain, followed by Xiaoxue and Xiaogray, all the way mighty, so majestic.
"Sister Qing, do you see if these are enough" The three of them were carrying two pheasants in their hands, and they were not small.
Su Miaoqing came out to take a look, not only smacking her tongue, this is also a lot of these things on the ancient mountains, otherwise there are people hunting at two ends in three days, where can they be hunted, but she forgot, other people's families have to be lucky to catch pheasants for many days, they are because of the existence of Xiaoxue and Xiaogray, as the king of the mountains and forests, it is easy for them to hunt.
"Brother Rui, I'll ask Sister Ping to boil hot water, you quickly pick up the pheasant and stew it." Su Miaoqing skillfully held the good bud rice noodles in her hand, and pasted them on the hot pot.
"Sister Qing, alas, why don't you call me out" Tong Taohua carried the burden into the yard, and when she saw that they were busy, she stepped forward and said angrily.
"Auntie, just this little thing, I can't handle it" Su Miaoqing raised her head and smiled, seeing Tong Taohua's eyes red, she knew that she must have looked at the third uncle just now, and felt sad when she looked at Old Man Tong's current situation, and couldn't help crying.
"Auntie, my house is so close to the third uncle's house, you, if you want to go, you can go over, don't feel sad, you look like this, Old Man Tong is also sad to see it." Su Miaoqing comforted, "In his current situation, he has to be in a better mood."
Tong Taohua took over Tong Ping's work, and when she heard Su Miaoqing say this, she couldn't help but sob: "I just can't help it, you say, I'm in this situation now, my father knows that he doesn't have to feel uncomfortable, and he has to worry about me now." ”
"Auntie, I can't say it, Old Man Tong knows that you are not doing well in the Huang family, so I wish I could call you back, but he can't speak and can't move now, otherwise, I can't say that he was the one who went to the Huang family at that time, I thought, with his temperament, where can I make you wronged" Su Miaoqing smiled and said, "So, from another point of view, you are also a kind of luck." ”
Hearing her say this, Tong Taohua wiped her tears and said, "It makes sense to hear you say that." ”
"Well, auntie, you are still so young, you will have a long life in the future, you will put the days in your belly, and we will work hard to live a good life together." Su Miaoqing covered the pot, straightened her waist and said loudly. In her consciousness, happiness is what she is looking for, although in ancient times, it was not stipulated that a woman could not remarry if she divorced, and there was no right to happiness
At noon, the person who helped the work was a good compliment as usual, the food of Tong Rui's family has always been first-class and good, and he didn't pick the door at all, looking at this bowl of chicken, people couldn't help but drool when they looked at it. Not only that, but even the mind is very careful, the temperature of this boiling water is just right, so that they can drink water in a gulp to quench their thirst as soon as they come back.
Tong Ping stared at the bowl of chicken that Su Miaoqing specially served her, and she didn't put down her chopsticks.
"Sister Ping, what's wrong" Su Miaoqing asked, "I don't like to eat"
"No, no, Sister Qingqing, I, can I give this to my father to eat" Tong Ping asked in a slurred manner.
Su Miaoqing was stunned for a moment, since her mother and Tong Youde left, they have never been to the original home to see him, only know that his leg is wasted, and there was originally Hongxing to take care of, and later, even Hongxing left with Tong Ping, and now he really doesn't know how he lives.
Nan Nan also looked at Su Miaoqing pitifully: "Sister Qingqing, I, let's go see my father, his leg is broken, he must be so pitiful." ”
The two little guys pleaded like this, and Su Miaoqing was also a little embarrassed, the most important thing in this matter was to take care of the Su family. Or, if Su Miaoqing's soul hadn't changed now, she would have the same idea as the two of them. It's just that he, an outsider, really has no feelings for Tong Youde, so he has never had such a thought, as for Brother Rui and them, Su Miaoqing really guessed their thoughts.
Tong Rui and the others were talking with the people who were helping the helpers, and they didn't have any idea about the situation here.
"You two eat the food first, there is still in the pot, if you want to go, I will serve you some more later." Su Miaoqing touched the heads of the two of them, sighed and said. The two guys don't have a deep grudge against Tong Youde, but more because this father treats them very well a lot of the time, especially Tong Ping, this kind of thinking is even more profound.
The two little guys happily walked hand in hand in the direction of the original second room of the Tong family, Tong Ping not only held a big bowl of chicken in his hand, but also two golden bud rice flour cakes. Su Miaoqing originally wanted to go with her, but after a while, everyone still had a bunch of things to do after eating, and the two little guys also tried their best to say that they wanted to go by themselves, so they had to give up.
"Nannan, do you hate your father?" asked Tong Ping in a tone like a little adult.
"I don't know." Nan Nan answered honestly.
"We don't understand the affairs of adults, but my father was kind to me in the past." Tong Ping squinted her eyes and recalled: "Always buy me delicious food, and buy me a lot of strange gadgets, although there is always half a year when I can't see my father, but I think he is the best father in the world."
"I don't remember what my dad bought for me, but I remember that my dad liked to hold me when he was at home, and sometimes he would ride me as a big horse," Nan Nan also recalled happily.
What Tong Youde has done is unforgivable for the Su family, but for the children, at least for this Tong Ping and Nannan, they only remember his goodness.
"Nannan, when I can make a lot of money, I will give my father money and tell him to live a good life." Tong Ping said, "My mother doesn't like my father very much now, so I'm going to do it secretly." ”
"Well, my mother never talked about my father, even the eldest brother and the second brother, they never talked about it." It's weird.
"Well, I heard my mother say that my father and Aunt Su have reconciled and divorced, but they are not husband and wife, it is estimated that the eldest brother and the second brother both resent their father" Tong Ping said seriously.
This is a bit of a profound topic for Nannan, she doesn't understand it very well, but she will be able to see her father in a while, and then give him fragrant chicken to eat, and that's it.
In order not to let the chicken get cold, the two trotted all the way and finally arrived at their former home.
The courtyard door is open, there are many fallen leaves in the yard, messy, not at all like the previous home, this is the feeling of Nannan, before, the yard was always swept clean, so that people can look comfortable, where is it like now
The door of the hall was half-hidden, and there was no sound, and the two pushed the door open, and entered the east room, only to see Tong Youde half-leaning on the kang cabinet and squinting. There was a disgusting smell in the room mixed with a foul smell.
Tong Youde, who was originally handsome, now has a long beard, messy, and his eye sockets are deeply sunken, and his face is full of wax, which looks very pitiful.
Holding back the unpleasant smell in the house, Tong Ping shouted loudly, "Dad." ”
Tong Youde was in a daze, and he didn't open his eyes, he was dreaming, how could he hear someone calling him
Seeing that Tong Youde didn't open his eyes, Nan Nan also shouted: "Dad." ”
Tong Youde opened his eyes almost tremblingly, and when he saw his pair of daughters standing in front of the kang, he couldn't help blinking again, making sure that he was not dreaming.
"Sister Ping, Nan." Tong Youde was a little surprised, after his appearance, no one came to see him, the eldest brother sent some bud rice flour cakes every once in a while, and never talked to him, but he just put the cakes on the bedside table and left, he could only gnaw on the cold and hard cakes and drink cold water every day to live, and the days were as bleak as they were. During this period, Jiang Langzhong came once and said that after his leg was completely necrotic, he could get a cane and go to the ground, and now, there was pus from time to time, and he could only lie half-dead on the kang.
"Daddy." The two shouted in unison again.
"Dad, this is chicken, we're here to bring you chicken." Tong Ping stepped forward with the chicken.
The chicken boy Youde's eyes lit up, he forgot how long he hadn't eaten meat, when Yun Niang hadn't reconciled with herself, Sister Qing could get back game almost every day, and she ate a lot of meat during that time.
"This is for Dad," Tong Youde asked.
The two nodded.
Tong Youde directly grabbed a piece with his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and asked at the same time: "This chicken is so fragrant, who made it?"
"Dad, it was Sister Qingqing who did it." Tong Ping replied.
Sister Qing, she asked the two little guys to send chicken, is it Yun Niang's instructions, is it difficult for Yun Niang to regret and leave with herself, so she sent two little ones to send if so, then she doesn't have to work so hard like a dog, and she can eat meat every day, Tong Youde thought beautifully in his heart, but completely forgot that the two girls in front of him were not born to the same mother, and why did they come together to send chicken to him to eat.
