Chapter 13: Deliberation
The next day, Su Yu slept until three poles on the day before getting up, these days are really tired enough to choke, out of the house, saw Lian is drying clothes on the bamboo pole, look at it must be gray and bright to get up, I can't help but touch my nose with some weakness.
"Mother, why don't you sleep a little longer, I felt so the road two days ago."
Lian's hands did not stop, and he picked up his daughter's words while drying clothes with his back.
"Mother is not tired, I used to get used to getting up at home, the fish are hungry, I left you breakfast, go eat."
Suyu washes his face with water.
"Why don't you see my father and eldest brother, where did they go?"
"Your father and your eldest brother went into the mountains early in the morning to cut firewood, and there was no firewood at home, so they had to prepare more."
Su Yu is even more empty, and she sleeps a lot in her emotional family.
Thinking that Su Yu entered the stove, breakfast was just a cake and a bowl of dried vegetable soup, the dried vegetables were still dried in Wangjia Village, after breakfast, they began to sweep the yard, after sweeping the front yard and the backyard, and then wiped the door frame of the house one by one with a rag, and there was nothing else to do, they moved in last night into three empty houses, and they couldn't hear the sound when they threw a stone into the house.
There are a lot of things to buy, and now there are only more than two taels left in the house, and this bit of silver is not enough to buy anything, so I simply don't buy it first, and the bed can be made with a wooden plank first, and the table is the same. Su Yu suddenly had a sense of crisis, and it was urgent to raise chickens, but now that his father and eldest brother were not at home, it was better to wait for them to come back.
Thinking about what to do in the future, Su Yu went to the backyard to clean up the vegetable patch with the Lian family, she can't dig the ground now, but she can still do the work of cleaning up weeds.
Waiting until noon, and not seeing Su Lao Er and Su Sheng come back, the mother and daughter were a little worried, so they took a basket to take a look near the mountain, and dug up some wild vegetables by the way. Although the wild vegetables are still edible in the current season, their family has just moved here and has no other vegetables, so they can only settle for it. As for going to other people's houses to buy vegetables, the Lian family doesn't have this idea at all, and Su Yu doesn't have either, the family has just a little silver, and every copper plate has to be spent on the blade, so bear with it now, and if you want to eat anything when you make money in the future, you don't care about this day or two.
The two dug up a large basket of wild vegetables, only to see the father and son who appeared on the mountain road, each carrying a large bundle of firewood.
"Dad, big brother."
Seeing his daughter, Su Lao Er was very happy, the family was almost gone yesterday, where did he think that he would settle down in Yujia Village today, thinking about the smile on his face, a mouthful of big white teeth is particularly conspicuous.
"Girl, why are you here with your mother?"
"Seeing that you don't come back, my mother and I are not at ease, so let's take a look."
"What's wrong with this, we are only nearby and don't go deep into the mountains."
As he spoke, the father and son came to the front, and the two put the firewood on their backs on the ground, and wiped the sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves.
"it, you take your daughter back first."
The father and son of the Su family walked in the direction they came from.
"Mother, where are my father and eldest brother going?"
The Lian clan obviously knew what Su Lao Er's father and son were doing, but she didn't say anything.
"Let's go home and cook, and leave them alone."
Hearing what her mother said, Su Yu had to follow.
Back at home, Su Yu made a fire, Lian kneaded the noodles that woke up in the morning into steamed buns in a pot, steamed them and put them aside, and then poured the washed wild vegetables into the pot and sprinkled them with salt, which was the lunch that the family was going to eat at noon today.
When the meal was ready, there was movement at the courtyard gate, guessing that it was my father and eldest brother who came back, Su Yu brought the water and planned to put it on a wooden stake in the yard, so that it was convenient for the two to wash their faces.
The father and son put the firewood on their backs on the side of the courtyard wall and leaned against it, and then turned around and walked out of the courtyard. After a while, one person came in with a large bundle of firewood, and when he saw this scene, Su Yu's heart was very sour.
"Dad, the work at home is done slowly, if the body is exhausted, how can it be good."
How can Su Lao Er not be in a hurry, the family only has more than two taels of silver now, look at the fact that there is nothing in this family, it will cost five or six taels of silver just to buy it, or according to the cheapest calculation, the two taels of silver in the family are not enough at all, and their family has no harvest in the field this year, and eating has become a problem.
Su Sheng was so tired that he didn't want to speak, so he went to the side to wash his face, and the heat on his body was reduced by more than half, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed.
During the meal, Su Yu was busy picking up dishes for his father and eldest brother, except for Su Sheng's disgusting eyes behind his father's back, the scene was very warm, and the couple were very pleased, their daughter had grown up after all.
After eating and cleaning up, Su Yu said his thoughts.
"Our family now has more than two taels of silver, this silver is not enough to buy anything, it is better to use it to buy eggs, according to the previous method to hatch chicks, our family can raise some, more chicken seedlings to the town to sell, will definitely make money."
This time, no one in the family objected to Su Yu's proposal, and even Su Sheng felt that this method was good, because of the chicks hatched earlier, the family was still quite confident in Su Yu.
"The family left 500 wen to buy grain, and the rest to buy eggs."
As the head of the family, Su Lao Er immediately expressed his position.
Su Yu was happy when he heard it, he didn't expect his father to be so generous, and now there are two taels of silver left at home, in addition to the five hundred wen for buying food, there is still one or two or seven dollars left, which can buy eight hundred and fifty eggs. However, Su Yu thought about it for a while, and remembered the small river next to the yard, there are a lot of small fish and shrimp in it, and you can also raise ducks at home.
"Dad, we can raise some ducks in the river next to our house."
"It's all up to you, and the girl can raise whatever she wants."
Su Lao Er spoke very arrogantly, handed over a mess to his daughter, and was not worried about Su Yu losing money at all. He thought very clearly, his daughter has this ability, if it is not done in the end, it must not be the reason of his daughter, but that he does not bring wealth in his life.
Yes, before this started, Su Lao Er had already made an excuse for Su Yu in his heart.
Su Yu said that it was false not to be moved, the ancient patriarchal thinking was more serious, and it was not that she was not worried when she began to cross over, but after a period of getting along, she was really willing to regard her father as her own father.
The family discussed and went out separately, Lian's and Su Yu were responsible for collecting eggs and duck eggs in the village, and Su Lao Er and Su Sheng's father and son went to the mountains to cut bamboo, the fences in the front and back yards of the yard were already dilapidated, and the place where they lived was next to the foot of the mountain, and it was unrealistic to build a fence, so they could only cut bamboo to enclose the yard. Thinking of raising chickens and ducks in the future, the front yard and backyard must be fenced, this project is not small, the father and son have to work for more than ten days, plus during the period to go into the mountains to chop wood, the construction period will only drag on longer, maybe when the chickens of Su Yu have hatched out, the courtyard wall has not been fenced, the father and son have no free time at all, and they have to hurry up and work.
