That day, the words had already been said, and no one in the Yan family was willing to help, for fear of being pointed at, so they didn't go out for a few days.

The discussion of the people in the village did not affect Su Qi, after the adobe was dried, the stones were moved enough, and the grass roots were totaled, and the construction officially started.

It took two weeks for Su Qi to enclose the courtyard wall by himself, although it looked ugly, but he also looked willing.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and Su Qi is not going out, and begins to spend the winter at home.

When Yan Shoucheng came back, he had already entered Layue, and the first snow had just fallen in the village.

When Su Qiwo was roasting sweet potatoes at home to eat, Yan Shoucheng entered the door with a snowy body, still carrying a large bag of things in his hand.

"I'm back", after Su Ji helped take the things, he took a broom and swept the snow off his body.

The tip of Yan Shoucheng's nose was a little red, there was ice ballast on his scarf, he took off his gloves, and put it on the lid of the pot to warm it before he eased up: "The oily paper bag on the top is mung bean cake, last time I saw you eat the most, I bought you some more." ”

Hearing this, Su Ji opened the oiled paper bag on it, pinched a piece in his mouth, and a sweet smell filled his mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Next time you go to the city, see if you can buy mung bean seeds, I will plant some mung beans, and it is cheaper to make mung bean cake by myself." ”

"Do you have all the New Year's goods?" Su Ji rummaged through all the things Yan Shoucheng brought back, and he didn't know where Yan Shoucheng got the money from, the New Year's goods were ready, and he didn't have to run to the town anymore.

"Well, it's cold, and it's not convenient to go out", Yan Shoucheng took out a yellow paper bag from the inner pocket of his clothes, which contained the tickets and money he had saved in the past six months, all of which were given to Su Ji.

Su Ji took it, but he didn't take it all, he took out some that he could usually use, and gave it back to Yan Shoucheng: "When a man goes out, he can't have a penny, these are enough at home." ”

Yan Shoucheng was a little stunned, when he went home by himself in the past, Wang Hongying would take as much as he wanted, and he had to complain, it was not easy to live at home, and nothing was enough.

After Su Ji stuffed the ticket into Yan Shoucheng's hand, he asked, "What do you want to eat at noon, I'll make it for you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Hongying's voice was remembered at the door: "Second brother, open the door, I will serve you pimple soup." ”

It was a door that was tied up with a few wooden sticks at random, and the door was not locked, Wang Hongying pushed it open and entered the courtyard without waiting for the people in the house to respond.

Yan Shoucheng frowned, and when he got up, he explained to Su Qi: "When I go home, I will pass by the door, and I guess I just happened to see me." ”

Su Ji stuffed the last mouthful of sweet potatoes into his mouth, and Wang Hongying also entered the house, with a big stupid bowl in the cloth bag in his hand.

There is no table in the house, and Su Ji has no spare money to buy it, and he usually eats around the stove, after Wang Hongying took out the big stupid bowl, he urged Yan Shoucheng: "I will pack it and bring it to you when I come out of the pot, and now it is cold, you can take a sip while it is hot." ”

After watching Yan Shoucheng drink obediently, Wang Hongying continued: "You see that you still have to be with you, you have suffered from the cold along the way, and you can't even eat a hot meal when you go home, and you are also suffering." “

Su Qi flattened his mouth and turned his head to eat his mung bean cake.

Wang Hongying was also sharp-eyed, she saw it at a glance, and snatched it over: "These are all bought for me by my son, what do you eat?" The old cow can't eat fine bran, what good things can you eat. ”

Wang Hongying's movements were so sudden that Su Ji was choked and couldn't help coughing.

Yan Shoucheng put down the dishes and chopsticks and helped Su Qi to calm down: "Mother, I bought this one for Su Qi, and I put it for you there, I want to bring it to you when I see you." ”

After listening to this, Wang Hongying did not put down the mung bean cake she snatched in her hand, but carefully packed it: "There are many children in the family, so I will share this with the children, they are all such big people, how can they still rob the children of food." ”

Su Qi got angry and took back his mung bean cake: "I'm afraid that the children won't be able to eat it, so you won't give your share." What my man bought, why can't I eat it? ”

"Eat, eat, choke you to death sooner or later", Wang Hongying was a little angry, but when she thought of her purpose today, she just said something unforgiving.

Yan Shoucheng felt that it was not easy to be sandwiched between his daughter-in-law and his mother-in-law, and took a deep breath: "Mother, the children want to eat, and they have their parents, so I don't care." ”

Twisting Yan Shoucheng's arm, Wang Hongying talked about the difficulties at home: "It's all my nephews and nieces, what's wrong with eating something from you." I think back then, when you were just born, your father and I were busy going to the ground, and your eldest brother couldn't walk neatly by himself, so he had to take you with him. The fourth and sixth children are what you watched grow up, and their children are not your children, so what do you care about so much. In the past, you would also give a copy of the things you brought home, but now that you have married a daughter-in-law, you are outside, is it Su Ji who is stirring up trouble behind his back. ”

Every time she talks about things at home, Wang Hongying says as if she owes her brothers a lot of kindness, and many times, Yan Shoucheng has an inexplicable fear of his family, and he always feels that he has carried too much. The familiar words echoed in his ears, and Yan Shoucheng was silent.

Su Qi watched the interaction between the mother and son, and couldn't help but smack his tongue, in the words of later generations, this is PUA.

Opened the package of mung bean cake by himself, Su Ji ate a piece, and spoke for Yan Shoucheng: "Whoever is the child is in charge, if you want us to raise it, it's not impossible, just call me mother in the future, just call Yan Shoucheng father." ”

"I used to eat a big pot of rice, and I shared everything together. Now that the family is separated, Shoucheng buys something, but I don't have to eat it first, if I feel uncomfortable, then I have to endure it, and whoever makes the family split is also your consent. ”

"Don't always say that the family is good to Shoucheng, if you really treat Yan Shoucheng as a heart, you should have been the fourth child as a soldier in the first place, why do you have to let Shoucheng go, it's not that you feel sorry for your fourth child. This year, when I circled the courtyard wall, your family watched the play, and even showed your face, how can you have the face to be good to you now. ”

"You don't have to put eye drops on Shoucheng, I said it myself, Yan Shoucheng didn't hurt anyone before, and it was squeezed by you, but now I am his daughter-in-law, I hurt, and everything at home, food and clothing must be approved by me, as long as I don't agree, you don't want to take away a needle or a thread."

Yan Shoucheng listened to the words and said nothing, Wang Hongying turned blue with anger: "Okay, it's all your stuff in the future, my old Yan family is not rare, but this year is over, I have to give the filial piety money." ”
