Chapter 46 Let's go back to my mother's home together
When Su He came, she wanted to go back to her parents' home alone, but then she thought better of taking her whole family with her.
Before leaving, Teacher Wu called the three children to change their clothes after dinner.
Su He refused.
The clothes that the three children wore for taking the train have been washed and dried. It's hot in the summer, so they will be completely dry after hanging them overnight.
It's just that each piece has patches on it. Of course, it's not as exaggerated as patch on top of patch, but you can tell at a glance that it has been patched.
For example, the pair of pants Su He had taken apart and used as a sample had a large patch on the buttocks and another small patch on the knee. The clothes were new, so they had no patches on them.
Erqi and Xiaobao were in a similar situation, wearing a mix of old and new clothes. Su He felt that this was more realistic, indicating that the family really couldn't buy cloth, so when they went out to visit relatives or go back to their grandmother's house, they had already put on their oldest clothes, but they couldn't help but bring patched clothes.
Seeing Su He's work, Teacher Wu was a little confused: "Xiao Su, why did you dress the children like this when you went back to your parents' home? Even if it costs money, it shouldn't be that bad!"
Jin Weiguo had long known that his family member's personality had changed drastically. Now, no matter what she did, he would just watch as a bystander and didn't intend to say anything. However, after returning home, he had one more item to write in his diary.
Su He: "Mom, few kids in the countryside have clothes to wear. We can wear them like this so it doesn't stand out! It saves people from worrying about our family!"
Teacher Wu: “…” What my daughter-in-law said does make some sense!
This time when Su He returned to her parents' home, she did not bring so many things. She discussed with her mother-in-law and took the few pounds of millet flour left at home. She also took two bags of brown sugar, two bags of egg cakes and a piece of cloth.
This piece of cloth is definitely not enough to make clothes, maybe it can just make a pair of shoes.
After dressing up the three children, she fixed herself up for a while, and the black and yellow Su He was back again.
She went to see Jin Weiguo again, thinking of cleaning up the man a bit, but when the boss saw her holding the powder, he said, "I don't need it. I'm not seriously ill. I don't have to pretend to be a heavy smoker!"
Su He nodded helplessly. Fine, actually she came here just to tease the man and see if he would let her deal with him.
The family took a car for more than an hour, and by the time they arrived at Su's house in the countryside, it was almost ten o'clock.
Su's father was not at home, he had gone out to sea. Su He's second and third sisters were not at home either, they had gone to other people's homes to weave fishing nets. No one knew where Su's youngest brother had gone.
Only Su's mother and fourth sister were at home. They were busy grinding the millstones. After that, they would make pancakes. This kind of dry food could be kept for a few days. Su's father would always take this kind of dry food with him when he went out to sea. He would just put anything in it that tasted good and eat it.
When they saw Su He's family appear, Su's mother and fourth sister didn't react at first.
Su He had a headscarf wrapped around her head, her face was dark and yellow, and she had lost a lot of weight. When Su's mother and Su Xiaomei looked up and saw a family of five, they were stunned. After taking a closer look, they realized that this was the eldest daughter, Su He.
Mother Su: "Hey, tell me, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? And what's wrong with you? Why have you lost so much weight? Your face is so dark and yellow!"
Su Xiaomei also shouted, "Sister and brother-in-law, you are here!" She also stopped what she was doing, came over to hug Xiaobao, and touched the heads of the eldest and second brothers.
Mother Su: "Xiu, go call your second and third sisters back home. There's no room for them at home anymore. They insist on taking a broken net to someone else's house to weave!"
In her dream, Su He knew that her fourth sister was actually the fifth child in the family, but according to the girls' side, she was the fourth child and her name was Su Xiu, but Su's mother...she still needed to see how to act appropriately.
Su Xiu went out to call her two sisters. On the way, she ran into her younger brother Su and shouted, "Brother, hurry home! My eldest sister and her husband are back with their three children!"
Su Xiaodi: "Big sister is going home, then I will go to the team to see if there is anything and buy some to take home."
Su Xiu couldn't take care of her brother, so she just went to call her two sisters home.
Su He handed the things she brought to her mother. Her mother didn't think the things were too little. After all, her daughter often gave her money, and there was nothing that money couldn't buy. So she took the things and put them on the table. She generously took out the egg cake inside, broke the egg cake into three pieces and gave them to the three children!
Su He: “…” One egg cake cut into three pieces!
"Mom, can't you give us an extra egg cake? Half will do for each of us. Daddy is already five years old, he's already a grown-up boy. The little you give him is only enough to fill his stomach!"
Su's mother felt embarrassed to do so, so she took out another egg cake from inside, cut it in half this time, and gave half to the eldest and second child.
Su He asked the two children to thank their grandmother. The eldest and second children were very polite.
Mother Su put the egg cake in a small locked cabinet and took out a canning jar from it. The canning jar was half filled with candy.
She asked her daughter and son-in-law to sit down, took two large bowls, poured water into each bowl, put the candy jar aside, and said, "Come and have some sugar water."
She then remembered that she had three children, so she turned around and took out three smaller bowls and poured hot water into them.
Su He didn't say she didn't want to drink the sugar water. She knew that these things, including the thermos, were probably gifts from the original owner.
Mother Su poured some water and then sat down to talk. "Big girl, I sent you a registered letter a few days ago. What took you so long to come back? Didn't you send a telegram more than half a month ago saying you'd be back soon?"
Su He pulled off her headscarf and said, "Bad luck! A tree fell on my way out and hit me on the head! Look!"
Only then did Su's mother see that her daughter's head was basically bald, but a little taller than bald, with quite a few stubbles of hair already growing on her head. There was a piece of gauze stuck to the back of her head.
Su's mother's heart skipped a beat: "How big is the scar here? Is it tight?"
Su He: "Oh, it's not too serious, just a scar the size of an egg!"
