Chapter 25: The Suitors
As summer approaches, the weather is getting hotter, and the sun is scorching in Daping Village, so everyone has changed into short shirts and sweated to work in the fields.
Su Yao held the wooden bucket and prepared to go to the well to wash clothes as usual in the early morning when it was not hot.
"Sister Su Yao, do your laundry!"
"Sister Su Yao, do you want to help you mention it?"
"Sister Su Yao, I am your eldest brother and second brother's good friend, my name is Xu Guoqing!"
"Sister Su Yao, I have been playing with your second brother since I was a child! The relationship is good, called Liu Guojie! ”
"Sister Su Yao, I am from the next village, and I am a distant relative of your sister-in-law."
As soon as Su Yao went out, he walked all the way for more than ten minutes, and met many male members from time to time. Isn't this the time to go to work?
Su Yao deliberately kept his distance from them, and refused all of their requests for help. Hearing that these people said that they were good friends of the eldest brother and the second brother, they looked at each other and called them politely.
The men blushed when they heard her response.
Su Yao walked quickly to the well, where there were women sitting washing clothes in twos and threes, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Fetch water and do laundry.
After a while, Su Yu came over slowly, she was pregnant, and her belly was already visible.
Su Yao helped her carry water and poured it into the wooden basin.
"Yao Yao, thank you." Su Yu smiled and thanked him.
When Su Yao knew that she was pregnant, she was pleasantly surprised for a while, and she had it before she met her.
Su Yao saw that she was pregnant and still came to wash her clothes often, and told her to rest more, Su Yu only said that she was not so squeamish and could do it.
Everyone is like this, Su Yao once saw a pregnant woman with a big belly going to the field to earn work. I heard that the woman in the town is pregnant and still working.
Fortunately, Su Yu's work is light, she helps the team split bamboo strips, weave bamboo baskets, and earn some work, which is very easy.
"Su Yao, the mung bean cake you made is delicious, I want to learn from you and make a cage to taste!" Su Yu has been wanting to eat mung bean cake recently, and yesterday her husband went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy mung beans and sugar.
Mung beans are hard to buy, sometimes I don't have to go, but this time I finally bought them back.
Su Yu has been hungry for a long time.
"This mung bean cake is very easy to learn, Sister Su Yu, you soak the mung beans for one night first......" Su Yao told Su Yu all the skills of making mung bean cake.
"It seems very simple, I'll try it first, and I'll give you a taste when it's done."
"Okay!" Su Yao said with a smile, and rubbed the clothes in his hand clean, with soap, the clothes are easy to wash, and they are clean and fragrant when they are rubbed.
"What's the matter with you male members?! What are you doing here instead of earning work?! There was an angry rebuke from the side.
Su Yao was so shocked that he raised his head, only to see some young men walking back and forth nearby.
"Isn't that going...... the male member explained.
The woman who angrily rebuked them was the captain's daughter-in-law, and glanced at them with contempt, "This is so far from the field, you deliberately spare the way!" Go, don't be lazy! ”
These male members ran away in embarrassment, and some looked back at Su Yao from time to time.
"Su Yao, they're all looking at you." Su Yu smiled and said to Su Yao: "You are so good-looking, I am a man, I will also go to see you!" ”
"Look, everyone's free people, and I can't stop them." Su Yao said lightly that she had met a lot more young men during this time.
Su Yao also thought about staying at home, she didn't go out often, and when she went out, she washed clothes. The water for washing clothes can be washed with the water picked by Su Jinmin and Su Jinjin, the eldest brother and the second brother are very happy, and it is simple to pick a water.
But Su Yao didn't want to, after more than ten years of life without going out of the door, and now that she has the freedom to go out, she naturally raises her head and goes out.
It's their business that those male members want to see her, and she lives her life, just treat it naturally.
Su Yao washed her clothes and went back, and when she went back, she met some enthusiastic young men, and she treated them indifferently.
The next afternoon, Su Yu came to Su's house with a bamboo basket and gave mung bean cake to Su Yao.
Su Yao led Su Yu into the courtyard and helped her carry the bamboo basket in her hand.
"Su Yao, your vegetable garden is really good!" As soon as Su Yu entered Su's house, he saw this lush and fruitful vegetable garden. This grows better than other vegetable gardens in the village!
The Su family is really good at taking care of it, this dish is much longer, crisp and green, and it is delicious at first sight!
"Sister Su Yu, drink some water." Su Yao poured a glass of water for Su Yu and invited her to sit on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, and the bamboo basket was placed on the bamboo table, which was cooler than the hall.
The sun was shining in the afternoon, and Su Yu was sweating all the way. Su Yu took it, took a sip, and was diluted by the sweet and refreshing taste, and the whole person was comfortable.
The water is like sugar water, but it's not very sweet.
Su Yu just thought that she was very thirsty, and she felt delicious when she drank the water.
"Su Yao, my mung bean cake is ready, but it doesn't taste as delicious as what you made." Su Yu lifted the cloth on the bamboo basket, "You taste it." ”
Su Yao took a piece and took a bite, it actually tasted very good. Su Yu is willing to put sugar, it tastes very sweet, and when this is taken outside, everyone has to praise it for being delicious!
"Sister Su Yu, your mung bean cake tastes very good." Su Yao praised it, she made it delicious, it was blessed with spiritual spring water.
"This person is not the same as a human cook." Su Yu shook his head slightly.
"Then I'll do more next time, and I'll send you some more." Su Yao chuckled.
"Okay, then I'll wait." Su Yu took out the mung beans and sugar in the bamboo basket and handed them to Su Yao, "You can take these mung beans and give them to me, just give me half of them, I can't let you waste food and effort." ”
"Sister Su Yu, we are all friends......" Su Yao waved her hand and refused, she still had some food to make mung bean cakes for her friends.
"Take it, if you don't take it, I won't eat it." Su Yu put the mung beans and sugar aside.
"Okay." Su Yao had no choice but to accept it, and when it was done, he gave it all to Su Yu.
Su Yu looked at Su Yao's white and tender face, "Yao Yao, before I came here, there was a young man in the village who wanted to ask me to pass on a message, and he wanted to deal with you. ”
"Subject?" Su Yao was stunned.
"Yes, that young man is a distant relative of my family, he looks very good, and he can do it."
The young man saw that Su Yu and Su Yao were getting close, so he wanted to contact Su Yao through Su Yu.
"I don't want to." Su Yao said that she had just adapted to life here.
She is only twenty years old now, and there are some people in the village who married early, and some who married in their twenties, so Su Yao is not in a hurry.
"I'll also help people ask, you are so good-looking, you don't have to worry about getting married, you have to choose a good one." Su Yu actually asked, she felt that Su Yao deserved better.
The two chatted for a while, and Su Yu went back.
In the evening, the Su family returned.
After dinner, Grandma Su took Su Yao and Su's father and mother to the back room.
"Yao Yao, what do you think of the young men in the village?" Grandma Su looked at Su Yao with a smile.
