The strong smell of meat came from the kitchen stove, and Wan Xiumin hurriedly ran into the kitchen and brought the crockpot off the coal stove with a wet rag.

In the living room, Sister Qiu saw that Liang Zhengfeng was interested in Su Yuehe, as long as she could promote good things, both men and women would sincerely thank her in the future, and it didn't matter if she was her niece or not.

She immediately praised Su Yuehe: "I have a high level of education, graduated from high school, worked as a private teacher for two years before, and is now a cadre in the brigade." Don't look at the delicate, it's very quick to do things. It's quick to do things, people are very gentle, and the tutor is very good. Her grandfather and father were both cultured people, and her mother was very disciplined and reasonable......"

Wan Xiumin, who came out of the kitchen, listened to Sister Qiu's words, she saw that Zhengfeng was interested, and she didn't talk about it first, as a cousin, she didn't mind, and she didn't have the right to speak, and the most important thing was that Zhengfeng liked it.

Or, this is his revenge on the Liang family. She's happy to see it happen.

Wan Xiumin brought a cup of cold white boil with white sugar, put it in front of Sister Qiu, and said with a smile: "I only care about talking about things, I forgot to pour you tea." ”

"What's polite, don't you just knock it out." Sister Qiu took a sip of cold white water, "Ouch, you still put sugar!" ”

"Sister Qiu, if you can help my brother solve this major life event this year, let alone drinking sugar water, I will invite you to eat roast chicken."

"Eat roast chicken! Deal! Don't break your promise! ”

Wan Xiumin smiled, "Never break your word!" Listening to what you said, this Miss Su is very good, can you make an appointment to meet? ”

Sister Qiu emphasized again: "The girl is good-looking, has a good character, and is innocent. is that there is no son at home, and the man is required to come to the door, which is the main premise. ”

Liang Zhengfeng, who was sitting on the side and playing with a ball in his hand, said amazingly: "If it is suitable, I can come to the door." ”

Wan Xiumin patted his younger brother on the shoulder, wanting to explain for him: "They still have two younger brothers in their family. ”

It's just a half-brother, and Wan Xiumin didn't go into details.

In this era, there are not many sons, and the Liang family's family background is there, will the family really let the eldest son and eldest grandson be the son-in-law?

Sister Qiu smiled a little incredulously and asked, "Do you want to discuss with your family first?" ”

Liang Zhengfeng raised his dark gray eyes, "No. I'm in charge of my business. ”

Sister Qiu didn't know the inside story, she didn't expect this kind of high-level intellectual family to be so open-minded, and she was immediately overjoyed: "That's great, when will Liang Tuan have time?" ”

Liang Zhengfeng is not in a hurry: "I am free next Saturday afternoon, and I can arrange it on Sunday." ”

"I'll go and make an appointment with the woman first, and then I'll tell you about the time."

After talking, Wan Xiumin gently pressed her hand on Su Yuehe's photo and said with a smile: "Sister Qiu, this photo can't be shown to others anymore." ”

Such a beautiful girl, who doesn't like it? When the time comes, a few colleagues will compete for a girl, and it will not end well.

Sister Qiu took back the photo: "You can rest assured that I do things, I understand the rules, there is a first come and first come in everything, unless you don't negotiate, otherwise it will be embarrassing in the future, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, Sister Qiu, you can eat at my place at noon, I made dumplings and stewed pork ribs. Eat the pork ribs first, and eat the roast chicken next. ”

Sister Qiu stood up and laughed: "I still have to go to the next one." Another day, another day. ”

At noon, Su Lao'er and his family of six sat at the dining table at the door of the room to eat.

The children were hungry and ate quickly, and they all got off the table and went out after eating, Su Yuehe and her parents chatted and ate, eating slowly.

Su Yunchang is a nerd, he has lived a confused life in this life, when he was young, he never made plans, he was not as assertive as his wife, but he disliked his wife for being uneducated, and he didn't want to listen to his wife's command, so he lived a messy life.

In the past few years, watching his daughters grow up, he also began to worry as if he had grown up, and began to plan for his daughter.

Therefore, he supported his daughters to study and finish junior high school and high school, which is unique in the Yannan Brigade.

It's a pity that the second daughter was not angry and slapped him with a loud slap.

The second daughter Su Yuemiao is one year younger than Su Yuehe, she didn't finish the first year of high school, so she secretly fell in love with the teacher, and finally got a big belly and had to drop out of school to marry her teacher to end up.

Lost the face of their old Su family.

For this reason, Su Yunchang, who was angry, said angrily that he would no longer care about his daughters.

He really did what he said, and now he doesn't care whether the third and fourth sisters want to go to high school or not.

This gave Su Laosan's family hope, thinking that after the second child retired, he would let his nephew go to work.

Zhuang Shunlan glanced at her husband and said softly: "My eldest sister and I have taken a fancy to a place, at the bottom of Xiaopai Ridge, on the Su family's own mountain, we want to build a house this year." ”

Regarding the construction of the house, Zhuang Shunlan said that it has been many years, and Su Yunchang has shirked it every year: "I just paid off the debts of the production team, how can I have the money to build a house?" ”

"Most of the debts of the production team are paid by me raising pigs myself, and I don't need much money from you. Honestly, how much money do you really have? ”

"Don't you give you the money every year?" Su Yunchang saw his wife's face sink, he groaned slightly, and said, "There are more than two hundred yuan, which is for the eldest sister's marriage." Now if you want to recruit a son-in-law, you must prepare at least two or three hundred. ”

"It costs money to recruit a son-in-law, and it costs a house to recruit a son-in-law! It's okay if you don't come back, but when you come back, how do you live? Zhuang Shunlan ate the blood cake and said: "You want to find a way to recover the foreign debt, the homestead and I will dig it out, you have to find a way to make the money, I have found someone to calculate, bricks, tiles, wood, cement, lime and labor, six rooms, eight hundred yuan can be done, I still have a little in my hand, and you can find a way to do the rest." ”

Su Yunchang could see that Zhuang Shunlan was serious this time, and his wife was reasonable, his daughters were married, and his house was barely crowded to live, but recruiting a son-in-law was different, and there would be grandchildren in the future, and it would not work if there was no house in the countryside.

His eldest brother was so poor that he managed to build three tiled houses next to it.

Zhuang Shunlan said again: "There is still one pig in the pigsty, sell it during the Chinese New Year, and raise two more next year, and you don't have to pay off the debts of the production team, you can save a little." ”

Su Yuehe can also sell yams to save some money, but she is not sure how much she can save, and the most important thing is that her father has to be responsible for building a house, she said: "Dad, you can't let my mother be tired alone." ”

The daughter's words stabbed Su Yunchang, in the daughter's heart, maybe he is indeed not a conscientious father.

He put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "When will the construction start?" ”

Zhuang Shunlan: "It depends on when Su He gets married, if it can be booked this year and get married next year, then the house must be built early next year." When the late rice is harvested, we will start building anyway. There is no money to borrow. ”

Su Yunchang knew that his wife was talking about the lunar calendar, so he agreed: "I'll think of a way." ”

"There is also a homestead, we will dig it ourselves, you tell the old man."

*

Because the second family has a lot of dishes, Mr. Su had the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner at their house.

After eating and taking a bath, Su Yunchang went to chat with the old man, and the father and son chatted until late.

When Su Yunchang came out of the old man's room, the people who admired the moon outside were all dispersed, and when he entered the room, his sister was already asleep on another bamboo bed.

It was a little chilly at night, Zhuang Shunlan, who had patched her clothes, put a thin quilt on her daughter, and she asked the man, "What's wrong?" The face is so ugly. ”

Su Yunchang sat down on the wooden chair next to him: "The old man does not agree with us building a house in Xiaopailing. ”

Zhuang Shunlan's hand moved: "Why doesn't he agree?" ”

"He said that if the three brothers wanted to build a piece, he asked us to build three tiled houses on the east side like the eldest brother."

"The family here is next to each other, today the eldest brother and sister-in-law quarrel, tomorrow Hao Aidi and the two will fight, and the day after tomorrow Zhao Liufu's daughter-in-law next door will make trouble again, every day the chickens fly and the dogs jump, I am really annoyed. You are far away, you are quiet! If you have the ability, you can get all five of us to go to the county seat to eat national food, and don't leave me alone here to survive. ”

Zhuang Shunlan talks about the rules, but her mouth is also smart, Su Yunchang has always been a wife, he can only say: "The old man doesn't agree, so what now?" ”

"I don't think he disagrees with us building a house in Xiaopailing, he has other plans."

Su Yunchang was not stupid, he sighed: "Dad said it." ”

"What did you say?"

"When I was able to go out to eat national food, it was also the relationship between the family and the family's money, and he said that when I retired, let Bai Song go to my class."

Sure enough, as she expected, Zhuang Shunlan gritted her teeth in anger: "At the beginning, the three of you brothers, only you were able to eat this meal." Does the eldest brother and the third brother have this ability? It's embarrassing to take it out from decades ago. How do you get him back? ”

"How can I get back? I could only do Tai Chi with him. ”

Zhuang Shunlan suppressed her voice and said, "You can't just refuse?" You have four daughters who can work at the top of the class, why can't it be Su Baisong's turn? Every time you talk about it, you don't say no outright. If you refuse early in the morning and don't give them hope, you won't be sparse, sparse, and you will never be clean. In the future, we will fall out with your third brother's family sooner or later, and this is all caused by your mud and water. ”

Every time Zhuang Shunlan said him, Su Yunchang didn't speak, he really couldn't deal with these complicated interpersonal relationships, so every time he came back, even if there was a holiday, he couldn't stay at home for two days.

Seeing that she couldn't count on her husband, Zhuang Shunlan said: "You still have a few years to retire, I will leave my words here, no matter which daughter is on duty, it will not be Su Baisong's turn." Otherwise, I will destroy your entire Su family, and everyone should not think about it. ”

"How could I let Su Baisong take the shift." Su Yunchang finally said what a man should say.

"Okay, we don't care. I will let it go, and I will not let me build it, but I will build it, and see who dares to stop me. After Zhuang Shunlan turned on the kerosene lamp, she got up and went to clean up her clothes, the whole family had already finished taking a shower, but she hadn't washed yet.

Early the next morning, Su Yunchang went back to the county seat.

Su Yuehe sent her father to the commune to take a car, and by the way, she cleared the mountain goods in her hand.

She went early, the supply and marketing cooperatives have not yet opened, she put the pine mushrooms in the basket in the market to sell, fresh pine mushrooms only sell for 3 cents a catty, sold out in the morning, a large basket will be sold for 2 yuan and 3 cents.

After that, Su Yuehe sold He Shou Wu, Angelica and Dendrobium to the supply and marketing cooperatives that had been stored for half a month, He Shou Wu was worthless, Angelica and Dendrobium were worth a lot, and the three added up, and a cloth bag was exchanged for 8 yuan and 2 cents.

She also took out the mountain ginseng and black goji berries and asked the salesperson how to collect them.

The purchase price of mountain ginseng and black wolfberry of the supply and marketing cooperatives is unified, no matter how good your quality is, 2 yuan of mountain ginseng is 7 cents a tael, and black wolfberry is 9 cents and 2 cents a tael.

The ginseng and black wolfberry in Su Yuehe's hands can be sold for about 20 yuan in the supply and marketing cooperative.

The salesman of the supply and marketing cooperative, a young man, looked at the flower-like girl in front of him, as if he was afraid that he would disturb her by talking too loudly, so he only asked her softly: "Do you sell it?" If you sell it, I'll put it on your scale. ”

Su Yuehe smiled and shook her head, "Don't sell it yet." ”

"The state-owned Chinese medicine shop in the county will purchase precious medicinal materials according to the quality, comrade, you can take it over there and try it." The salesman enthusiastically suggested, and the eldest sister next to her who took eggs to exchange things couldn't help but look sideways at Su Yuehe, thinking that they knew each other.

After all, the stiff and cold attitude of the salespeople of the supply and marketing cooperatives is the norm.

Su Yuehe knew about the Chinese medicine shop's acquisition of medicinal materials before, but she didn't know where the Chinese medicine shop was, so she couldn't help but ask: "Do you know how to go to the Chinese medicine shop in the county?" ”

"At the junction of Mihang Street and Jianshe Road, you go to the county seat and ask people to know."

"Thank you." Su Yuehe plans to go to the county seat in a few days to give it a try.

"You're welcome."

The eldest sister who changed the eggs was impatient, "Comrade, help me change the eggs first." ”

The salesman ignored her, and he gave Su Yuehe the money he had changed, "Comrade, where are you from?" ”

Su Yuehe glanced up at the man, she took the money, and reminded with a smile: "This woman wants to change eggs." ”

The salesman knew that people were unwilling to tell him personal information, so he had to turn his head and sink his face to change the eggs for the eldest sister.

Su Yuehe turned to the other side of the supply and marketing cooperative, took out kerosene tickets and sugar tickets, bought 2 catties of kerosene lamps for fire and water, half a catty of white sugar, 1 catty of brown sugar, spent 1 yuan and 9 jiao, and left 8 yuan and 6 cents in his hand.

She bought another 1 cent of candy, and grabbed all the candy to the salesman before leaving, thanking him for helping to show the way.

This stunned the salesman, obviously the girl did not have a good impression of him, but was courteous and thoughtful, and accepted his kindness, but did not want to owe him favors.

When I got home, my mother had just come back from morning work, and my sisters had come home from school for breakfast.

For breakfast, eat sweet potatoes, white porridge and leftover elbow meat from yesterday.

was eating, Zhao Dafu's daughter-in-law Chen Qiuhong came to call Zhuang Shunlan out, the third sister looked at it, and hurriedly squeezed her eyebrows and said: "Eldest sister, the blind date is here, I don't know if it looks good or not." ”

The fourth sister was also curious: "Qiuhong's sister-in-law said that his nephew looks like Su Baisong, which is very good-looking." ”
