Chapter Seventy-One: And an Aunt
Song Yuanqing smiled and arched his hand towards everyone, and then raised the horsewhip, The carriage finally squeaked and turned the wheels, gradually moving away from everyone's sight.
Gu Chenye sat in the corner of the carriage, his eyes closed, full of shyness in his eyes when he looked at him just now.
Now that she has determined her mind, she should also think about what is behind her!
"Who are you going to let stay?"
"Let Xuanliu follow Miss Su." Song Yuanqing thought for a while, and then said: "Xuanliu Light Industry is the best, if there is something, let him pass on the news, there will definitely be no difference." No matter how bad it is, there is still Xiao Lao, at the critical moment, if his old man makes a move, the Su family will not be in any big trouble. ”
Gu Chenye nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked out the window. The carriage had already left Sujia Village and went on the official road.
After a long time, I listened to his soft instructions, "Speed up and return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”
Song Yuanqing's jaw should be the first to be, the horsewhip was raised high, and the car ran faster and faster, stirring up dust all the way.
The father and son of the Su family sent off the carriage and returned to the construction site. Hu Ziniang accompanied Yun Niang to greet for a while, and when she was in a better mood, she took half a basket of vegetables and meat back to the small kitchen of the construction site.
The workers eat well and work hard, eager to use 12 points of strength. Old Man Su looked at it, and every time he had to say that the people invited in September were good.
The days passed quietly like flowing water, and the hot summer days were finally coming to an end.
"Crackling...... Crackling ......"
In the early morning, the small mountain village comes alive with the sound of firecrackers.
The Su family's new house has already started a busy day, and several women who are familiar with Hu Ziniang and Ji Niangzi rushed over early to help.
Yun Niang led them in the new kitchen to be responsible for today's banquet for the guests, and at the door of the kitchen, there were also Widow Cao, the daughter-in-law of the village chief's family, Lin and Su Yang's Niangtian, who helped wash the vegetables and arrange the dishes, etc.
As soon as Feng arrived, he also rolled up his cuffs and went to the kitchen to help.
As early as the day before, the Su family had bought the ingredients in advance, marinated the meat, made fish balls, and a few other meatballs, etc., and made sufficient preparations.
The housewarming banquet is generally held at noon, and Su Changlin also set it at noon according to custom.
There are not many villagers who come to join in the fun in advance, and the biggest reason is that the rain stopped yesterday, and today is the best time to pick mushrooms.
The Su family collects some mountain goods, which is already a well-known thing in Sujia Village, from the elderly to the young, and will pick some mushrooms or rare wild vegetables in their spare time to exchange for money. Since it was noon, the morning time should not be wasted. Everyone is full of enthusiasm and does not waste a penny of time to rush up the mountain to pick.
"In September, your family is really big."
Su Huiru held September's arm and looked left and right, unable to hide her surprise.
"Sister Huiru, now that there are more rooms at home, you can come and live often in the future." September was also excited, and finally had his own separate room.
"Really? That's great. Su Huiru's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, she had never lived in such a magnificent house.
There are so many blue brick houses, which look much better than the people in the town she has ever seen.
September has been busy with the half acre of rice fields recently, and to be honest, this is the first time she has looked at her new house so closely.
The two sisters talked and laughed all the way, and walked the yard from beginning to end, and as soon as they got out of the last room, they heard a commotion at the gate.
"Isn't this Su Lanxiang?"
"Why is she here?"
"yes, why is she embarrassed to come? Isn't she an old Su family who broke off the relationship? ”
"I see, I must have heard that the Su family has developed and come back to climb relatives."
The people who came to help in the village, watching the excitement, they would all be crowded together, and after a circle in September, it was not easy to see the people who were surrounded by everyone.
A woman in her thirties with a teenage girl looked like she was arguing with the villagers.
"Su Lanxiang, why haven't you returned to your parents' house for so many years?"
Su Lanxiang's face was hot when she was asked, this person obviously knew what happened back then, and he deliberately asked this, didn't he just want to embarrass her?
"Yes, didn't you say that you would never set foot in Sujia Village again in the future?"
"Yes, yes, I remember. Old Man Su also said at the time, there is no such daughter as you. ”
Several village names are chattering together, which is just gossip.
September stunned, daughter? How could she never have heard of her grandfather having a daughter?
glanced at Su Huiru on the side, saw her face frowning, and looked at Su Lanxiang in the crowd with disgust. September felt a sigh in her heart, could it be that she really has an aunt?
"I'm coming to my mother's house, what's the matter with you? It's really salty and don't worry about eating radishes. Su looked at the throat and glanced at the names of the villages next to him, "What, you guys don't want me to go in here?" ”
"Yo, that's not what you said back then." A woman next to her raised her eyebrows, "The old man said, in the future, you dare to set foot in Sujia Village and break your dog's legs." ”
Su Lanxiang shrank when she heard this. Thinking of the old man's temperament, it is really possible to do that. However, thinking of the purpose of this trip, his neck choked and said, "Who are you a woman who is so wide?" Anyway, I'm his daughter, breaking bones and tendons. Are you counting the green onion? ”
The woman snorted coldly, and just as she was about to reply, she saw Brother Su Changsheng go out.
"Su Lanxiang, do you dare to come back!!"
Su Changsheng was angry, he couldn't have imagined that this person he hadn't seen for more than ten years would appear here today. Thinking of the bastard things she did back then, he panicked.
Everyone consciously moved out of the way, Su Lanxiang turned around, and her eyes widened suddenly, looking at Su Changsheng and Su Changlin in the brand-new robe in front of her in disbelief. These are her two dumb brothers?
After a while, Su Lanxiang hurriedly pulled over the girl hiding behind her and said, "Ling'er, hurry, call uncle." At the end, he pointed to Su Changsheng and Su Changlin and continued, "This is the eldest uncle, this is the second uncle, call someone quickly." ”
The girl named Ling'er shrunk her neck, glanced at it a few times, and under the command of Su Lanxiang, she saluted and shouted, "Uncle, second uncle." ”
Su Changsheng snorted coldly when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Su Laoxiang's mother and son. However, Su Changlin's face turned red, and he hesitated uncomfortably, not knowing whether to agree or not.
Seeing this in September, there is nothing I don't understand. Zuo is just that this aunt did something deviant and embarrassed the Su family, so she was driven out of Sujia Village, no one has mentioned it for so many years, and I think those things back then were also despised.
As for what's going on, women, there are only a few things that hinder their reputation.
It's just that they are at the door, and there are a lot of people who come today, and the banquet at home is not open, but it makes people see the joke in vain.
September stepped forward and called softly, "Uncle, Dad." There will be important guests in a while, or ......"
No matter what, the gate is not the place to solve things, and Su Changsheng also understands this truth.
"Second child, you take them in through the back door, don't let Dad know."
When Su Changlin heard this, he nodded, and said to Su Lanxiang, "Come with me." ”
"What? Su Changsheng, you are too rude. What do you mean by letting me go through the back door? I'm your sister too! Su Lanxiang didn't follow, and yelled at Su Changsheng.
"Hmph......" Su Changsheng sneered, "If you don't want to go through the back door, then go back where you came from, and don't be embarrassed here." ”
"You ......" Su Lanxiang was choked and speechless, and glanced left and right a few times, if it wasn't for the fact that she would ask for them, she wouldn't be so angry.
"Not leaving?" Su Changsheng looked over with a cold face, "If you don't leave, I'll let people blow you out." ”
Su Lan Xiang gritted her teeth, and finally pulled her daughter to the back door with Su Changlin.
The lively protagonist leaves, and the people who watch the excitement disperse.
Everyone was busy setting up the borrowed swivel chairs and benches, and there were so many people in the village that they could only open open-air seats in the courtyard. Fortunately, the sky is clear today, and there is a gentle breeze, which is just right.
The people sitting in the hall were all more important relatives and guests, the old village chief and a few respected old people, as well as Master Xiao and Sun Xiucai, all of whom were blessed to accompany them.
Sun Xiucai gave Su Jinghang two days off, and Su Wenhai also rushed back today to help run errands at home.
Su Changlin led the mother and son to the first floor to the side of the room dedicated to taking care of the guests.
Su Lanxiang's eyes rolled around, this and that, and she entered the house slowly, hearing the laughter and conversation in the yard, her heart jumped, the family was developed, and the treatment was improved. In the past, when the days were hard, where would these people be so enthusiastic.
The person who heard the message said that his younger brother had built a new house and built a tofu workshop with the big boss in the town. At first, she was still skeptical, when she went out, the family was poor and dinged, and there was no next meal after eating, otherwise when her father wanted to cut off relations with her, how could she agree so happily, and she never cared about family affairs in the past few years.
But now looking at this bold new house, Su Lanxiang's heart is warm again.
Su Changlin took them into the house and left in a hurry. Su Lanxiang pursed her lips, staying for a while as if she would eat him.
"Ling'er, come here." Su Lanxiang pulled Ling'er to sit on the edge of the kang, "You will ...... when you see your uncle and them later."
The mother and son muttered and talked for a long time. Unbeknownst to him, September stood at the door and listened to it all.
"Huh...... The abacus is good, but it's good. September suppressed the disdain in his heart and beckoned to the playful little four not far away.
"Sister September." The four dogs are very happy today, the new house in September is close to their own home, and it will be much more convenient to play with her in the future.
"Good, Little Four." September touched the little guy's head and squatted down, "Can you help my sister do something?" ”
Sigouzi's eyes lit up, helping Sister September do things, he always wanted to do it. The two elder brothers are helping Sister September do things, and their mothers praise them! Immediately nodded happily.
September pinched his little face and glanced at the mother and daughter who were still "plotting" in the house. I really thought everyone else was stupid......
