Chapter XI
September's grandmother, Mrs. Mei, is a typical patriarchal, and because of this, the person who was sick in September didn't know about it, so she stopped Old Man Su from coming over to take a look, but she didn't know about these Septembers!
"Grandpa, grandma, we're back......" Su Jinghang shouted loudly before he entered the door.
"Hey, my good grandson is back." Hearing the voice, Mei threw down the broom in his hand and hurried towards the door.
"Grandma, I brought someone back." Su Jinghang said to the old lady with a smile.
"Put things down, isn't it heavy? Yun Niang, hurry up and get something to eat, are you hungry? Mrs. Su directly bypassed September and gave instructions while untying the basket on Su Jinghang's back.
September Baba shouted "Grandma" and the old lady didn't reply, September thought the old man didn't hear, and shouted again. The old lady glanced back at September and heard her say, "Nine girls, some time ago, your father said that you were seriously ill, I think there will be nothing to do, girl's house, it's okay to go to the town to be foolish, you have time to learn more from your cousin Huiru embroidery, and you can exchange a few dollars."
"Mother, Jiu'er only went to the town when she had something, Jiu'er left, and went to cook with her mother" Yun Niang came over and pulled September to the kitchen.
The naked disgust in the old lady's eyes was deeply engraved in September's heart, and her eyes were already full of tears, so she secretly wiped it and lowered her head. Behind him, Old Lady Su's scolding and the old lady's whispered justification were completely unknown.
In my previous life, my grandmother was always reluctant to eat a bite of delicious food, and kept it for several days just to wait for her to come back from school. Obviously, he doesn't have much money on him, but he always finds a few pieces or even a few crumpled money from the plastic bag taken out of the lining of his clothes before going out in September......
It turns out that it's really different!!
"Jiu'er, good boy, don't take what your grandmother says...... Let's let my mother see what good things I bought today..." Yun Niang looked at her daughter wilting, she was very distressed, and quickly changed the topic.
September's emotions came and went quickly, and after sorting out his mentality, he went to call the things used in the kitchen and Su Jinghang moved in turn. At this moment, she just put all kinds of cooking ingredients into the small clay pot, the rice and noodles were all put into the jar, and finally closed the lid in turn, looking at everything full, and the haze just now was also swept away. With so many things added today, Yun Niang will touch this and look at that for a while, not to mention how excited she is.
"Oh, Jiu'er, why did you buy this thing back? Your dad doesn't look at you either, is this a lie? Yun Niang saw the pig covered in the basket go into the water, and she was anxious immediately.
"Mother, have you forgotten how we make fish? Leave it to me. “
"You mean it's that delicious to make?"
September smiled and nodded and began to toss her pig into the water, first of all, you must not use salt for cleaning, then use plant ash. took a basin and put the pig in the water, and then filled a bowl of grass and wood ash and went to the river, and Su Jinghang followed him along.
Yun Niang saw the brother and sister go out one after the other, and they were busy opening the door.
In the main house of the Su family, Uncle Su crackled and poured beans and said everything about today, and the old lady Su who listened to it was surprised and distressed for a while, surprised that there was so much silver all of a sudden, and distressed that it was spent so much in September. Father Su was relatively calm, at least he couldn't see it on his face.
"Our old Su family is finally going to get up, the eldest and the second, we must take the matter of the nine girls seriously in the future, we must not be careless, if I guess correctly, we will all have to count on her in the future." Old Lady Su said with a calm face and was extremely serious.
"Oh, old man, I think you're stunned, a girl, is it worth your way?" The old lady is not happy, the girl's family should be a bit of a girl's family, what is the matter with men.
Old lady Su saw that this mother-in-law was not reasonable at all, and became angry, thinking that the ancestors of his old Su family had worked hard every day, and life was still tight. Immediately slapped hard on the table, "Shut up, especially you, be kind to Jiu Girl in the future, and let me hear you slap me nonsense and see that I don't clean you up?" “
", you dead old man, I gave birth to two sons for you, I have no credit and hard work, you still want to beat me... Whining... Oh my God... How can you let me live..." Mrs. Su was taken aback by Old Man Su's compelling momentum, thinking about when she had suffered such a grievance, and she couldn't get off the stage in front of her two sons, so she simply slapped the table and howled.
The brothers of the Su family were also embarrassed, their father and mother quarreled, and they suffered as sons. There was no way, so I stepped forward and comforted me one left and one right...... Old lady Su was impatient with the noise, turned around and went out.
Not to mention how noisy the family is, the atmosphere between the brothers and sisters in September by the river is quite harmonious. In September, the pigs were washed over and over again, and Su Jinghang squatted on the side and watched quietly.
"By the way, in the past two days, let Daddy ask if the nearby school has accepted anyone? Now that the family is well-off, my brother should also be literate. September said to himself
"Little sister, you have become a housekeeper, this matter, you have your own father and mother Zhang Luo, you don't have to worry about it." Su Jinghang had to sigh, how could his sister think of so many things at such a young age?
“… When the ambition is high, my brother has to prepare early. Jiu'er is still waiting for my brother to teach me how to read and write. “
"Hey, little sister, you still know a lot about this little brain, okay, okay, I'll discuss it with my father and mother when I go back at night." As he spoke, Su Jinghang reached out and poked September's dimple. provoked September with a disgusted face, really think she was a little doll?
Back home, Yun Niang has already cooked the meal, after the washed pig in September was blanched in the water, a dry fat sausage was made and served on the table, and everyone in the Su family did not believe that this was made by the pig after eating it one by one.
Mrs. Su had the heart to say something, but before she could open her mouth, she was so frightened by the old lady's eyes that she closed her mouth. It's a good meal.
After the meal, Mrs. Su called everyone for a small meeting. First of all, all the money received today is distributed in September. Secondly, considering that the Welcome House will be in need of fish and meatballs for a long time to come. In September, he proposed to ask the village chief to come forward and lead people to go down to the river to catch fish, and then Uncle Su came out to buy it to make a difference, and in September, the family only made fish balls. Mrs. Su is very satisfied with the arrangement in September, the roots of the name of Sujia Village for several generations are here, and almost every family has such a layer of kinship when they go out. September means that everyone earns money together, and only with common interests can we work together, so as not to dominate the family and attract red eyes.
As soon as the matter was decided, Old Lady Su went to the old village chief's house in person, and half an hour later, the entire Sujia Village was boiling. Adults and children rushed to the river, catching a few more fish to catch up with the wages of several days outside. For a while, it was a little more lively than the New Year, and in September, I was worried that there would be more people and less meat, so I specially asked the old lady to tell everyone to only accept more than one pound of fish.
Over there, the Su Changsheng brothers borrowed two big iron buckets to collect fish, and the family here in September also called the Su family's eldest aunt Feng to help, it is worth saying that this eldest aunt has always been faint no matter how hot she is outside, but she does not fall behind at all, but she rarely speaks. September didn't care, anyway, Mrs. Su came over from time to time, and she simply pretended to be dumb.
The busy work was not completely over until it was dark, and Yun Niang organized half of the things she brought back today and asked Feng to bring them back. September thought about it and asked Yun Niangyou to take thirty taels of silver and hand it over to the old lady of the Su family, saying that the rest was reused, and the old lady Su accepted it tremblingly before going back with the uncle of the Su family.
When he climbed onto the kang, he fell asleep in September, Yun Niang took out the silver ticket of one hundred taels from a box, covered her mouth and suddenly cried, so frightened that Su Lao Dad was at a loss, and only pinched his sleeve to wipe Yun Niang's tears.
"Half a lifetime, I have only seen such a big amount of money, but it was not earned by us as parents, I feel ashamed......" I can't go on.
"Yun Niang, you... Don't be sad, I'll try to make money to feed you in the future......" Daddy Su said that his voice was getting quieter and quieter, but even he felt unconfident.
"That's it, that's it, let's go to sleep."
The oil lamp went out in the house, and the room was quiet ever since......
