Chapter 2 Master Says You Can't Kill Snakes
Su Manjin took his younger brother Su Jinyang's little hand and walked to the door, and saw that his father Su Yuhui and his aunts and uncles were in the yard.
"Xiaoman, you're awake!" Aunt Su Yumei shouted with a smile.
"Xiaoman, come and take a look, we found a snake nest when we went down the mountain just now, and caught three live snakes."
"Wait for the eldest brother to deal with it, we can cook snake soup and add dinner at night." Su Yutian happily greeted Su Manjin.
Su Yutian is the youngest of the three brothers and has a cheerful personality. Before he followed his eldest brother and second brother to work, he often played with this little girl who was ten years younger than him.
Su Yutian loves this well-behaved and sensible niece the most. Don't look at her small, she is already a good helper in the family.
He went up the mountain with his brothers to mine stones, his parents were busy picking oysters, his sister-in-law had to be busy with the grocery store to do business, and the housework at home was taken care of by his sister Su Yumei and niece Xiaoman.
"Ah Tian, you go to the kitchen and bring the kitchen knife and basin, as well as the barrel of sorghum wine in the utility room, let's make wine with one snake and drink snake soup with two." Boss Su Yuhui commanded.
Su Yutian walked into the house in response.
Su Manjin looked at the three snakes that were seven inches horizontally pressed by the long wooden stake, still squirming and struggling, and his scalp was a little numb.
She thought of her previous life, after graduating from junior high school, her father had inconvenient legs and feet in less than two years and could not do heavy work. Before the age of 50, he was on crutches, and he usually had to be helped by his mother, and he often sat because of his inconvenience, which caused various problems such as varicose veins, edema of his legs and feet, and ulcers, and he could not be completely cured after several surgeries.
In the last life, until he was reborn, Su Manjin was afraid of snakes.
No matter how old you are, as long as you recall the scene when your father killed a snake and skinned it when he was 8 years old, his hairs stand on end.
The scenes she saw as a child were so horrific that they left an indelible shadow on her.
I remembered that Master once said: All things have spirits, and cause and effect are unforgiving.
Killing turtles and snakes for no reason is extremely ungood.
And in this life, she doesn't want to watch the process of killing snakes again, let alone her father's killing karma......
"Little uncle, you wait, don't take it yet."
Su Yutian stopped and looked back, looking at his niece strangely, "Why?" ”
Su Manjin said to Su Yuhui seriously: "Dad, let's let these three snakes go." ”
"The snake is a very spiritual animal, and its sense of revenge and hatred is very strong. If someone damages it, it will certainly find an opportunity for revenge, which can be fatal. Anyway, it's three lives. We don't need to hurt them for the sake of extra food, and we don't want to see blood at the door of our home, it's not good. ”
Su Yuhui was surprised by his daughter's insistence, and he hesitated, "However, snake soaking high wine is very replenishing, our family is doing heavy work, and snake wine will be very useful in the future." ”
"Dad, our family is very hardworking, and life will definitely get better in the future. We can also slowly look for other development opportunities, and you and your uncles don't have to do the heavy work of mining stones all the time. I will study hard, and when I grow up, I will go to work in the provincial capital, earn money, and buy you better supplements. Let's not want snake wine, okay? ”
As soon as Su Jinyang heard that his sister was going to work in the provincial capital in the future, he hurriedly ran to Su Manjin's side, hugged his sister's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister, I will go to school in the provincial capital when I grow up." ”
Su Yuhui looked at a pair of lovely children and let out a hearty laugh. "My Xiaoman and Xiaoyang are really promising. Okay, I'll listen to you! Before it gets dark, I'll release these three snakes back into the mountains with your second uncle. ”
"Xiaoman, you have to do what you say. When you are admitted to the university in the provincial capital, our family will visit together. I haven't been to the provincial capital yet. Su Yutian raised his hand and touched the top of his nephew's hair.
Su Yuwen and Su Yumei also smiled and looked at their nephews and nieces fondly.
Su Manjin turned to look at the three snakes, and his voice was clear: "I'm sorry, I caught you back before, which made you uncomfortable." My father and second uncle will send you back to the mountains now. Live well in the mountains and don't hurt others. After speaking, he also softly recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha!" ”
"Alright, Daddy, send three snakes home." Su Manjin, who turned to speak to his father, didn't notice that the three snakes on the ground seemed to be looking at each other and didn't struggle and squirm anymore.
Su Yuhui and Su Yuwen took three snakes and went to the mountains to release them before dark.
Su Yumei went back to the house to prepare the family's dinner, while Su Yutian packed up the tools she had just brought down from the mountain.
Su Manjin took her younger brother to the grocery store next door, she wanted to see her mother.
Thinking of the previous life, after my father's legs and feet were inconvenient, my mother was busy alone, carrying gas canisters and bottled water, delivering goods to guests, and running the house, and finally she was so tired that her body was crushed, and she had two lumbar spine surgeries, and she couldn't move normally, and the rest of her life was ruined.
Su Manjin pondered as he walked, he was only in the first grade at the age of 8 now, and there were still eight years before graduating from junior high school, so he could plan his family's future in advance and avoid the pitfalls in his previous life.
She remembers that her father was introduced to Mark Six when she was in the sixth grade. By the time he graduated from junior high school, his father was diagnosed with femoral osteonecrosis. After that, he couldn't do heavy work, so he thought about opening another grocery store in the old village, and tried to recruit mutual aid associations.
There are more than 100 households in Sujia Village, which is divided into two parts, the new village and the old village, and it is a 15-minute walk from the new village to the old village.
Su Manjin's grandfather, Su Jinshun, is the second male in the family, with an eldest brother and eldest sister above, and four younger brothers below.
Su Yuhui has a total of three brothers, but there are as many as 14 cousins in the family. Although Su Manjin only has one aunt, Su Yumei, there are still ten aunts.
The ancestral house of the Su family was inherited by the eldest child, and Su Jinshun, as the second eldest, took his family to settle in the new village after the family was separated.
"Sister, what are you thinking?"
Su Jinyang tilted his little head and looked at his eldest sister, feeling that after her sister woke up from a nap in the afternoon, she became a lot quieter.
Su Manjin looked at his younger brother's cute appearance, touched his big head and said, "I'm thinking about what to do to make our family's life better and better." ”
Because the family was really poor a few years ago, after the birth of my younger brother, my mother's health has been relatively weak. The family was very poor, and the mother's confinement was not done well at that time.
After Su Jinyang was weaned at the age of more than a year, Zeng Meiyue looked at the situation at home, and there was no nutritious supplementary food for the child to eat, so she could only drink porridge with adults.
Zeng Meiyue occasionally went back to her parents' house, and the eldest brother who owned the grocery store would pour the remaining broken noodles in the store to her, and when she came back, she would make egg noodles for the children. Su Jinyang is four years old, but he is as tall as a three-year-old doll.
"Have you thought of that sister? What should we do? ”
"Xiaoyang, let's go see my mother first. Tomorrow weekend, my sister doesn't have to go to school, let's plan well after dinner, okay? ”
"Mmmm, sister, I will also go to school well in the future, and I will also go to work in the provincial capital with my sister!"
"Sister, isn't the provincial capital far away?" ......
Su Manjin was amused by his younger brother.
Thinking of the previous life, my younger brother also likes to follow him. From elementary school to county No. 1 middle school, she studied liberal arts, and her younger brother studied science. Later, she was admitted to the best university in the provincial capital, and her younger brother followed closely behind, and she was also admitted to the most difficult school of economics.
The people of the whole village were stunned, and they came to Su Yuhui and Zeng Meiyue to ask, how did they raise their children, and there were two of them in a row from a key university like 985+211.
Su Manjin and her brother just walked to the door, she looked up at her mother who was sorting out the containers in the house - she had never been to school and couldn't read a single big word, but she was hardworking, kind, tolerant, and tenacious, and the best education she gave her children was to teach them by word and deed.
Su Manjin feels that she is the best mother in the world.
