Jiang Qiandu looked at it for a long time before he was sure that Su Xinmu was not angry, but she felt that it was really useless.
Jiang Qiandu was a little lazy and put the ointment into his bag.
"Okay, I'm going to go cut grass for the pigs."
Su Xinmu picked up the backpack and went to cut grass for pigs with the children, not caring about Jiang Qiandu at all.
Goudan stared at her, Su Xin felt confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Goudan was very direct, "Are you and that military guy secretly dating?"
“Ahem…”
Su Xinmu was almost frightened by his shocking words, "Kid, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"He and I are just getting along normally. He sent me here because I was bitten by a snake yesterday. What are you thinking?"
"Well, I see you haven't cut much pig grass. We're going to pluck the whole field bare. Let's go somewhere else."
Goudan scratched his head in confusion. Was he wrong? His mother said that we should not talk nonsense about girls. It would bring bad reputation to them.
Goudan took Su Xin to another place. This mountain was a little far away from the big mountain village, but the vegetation was obviously lush.
"It's more dangerous here than there. Please be careful."
Su Xinmi has already run to a nearby place and started mowing the grass. She has wasted some time today, so she must hurry up.
Otherwise, those kids would really think they are incompetent and are the best at slacking off.
“Eh—”
Su Xin felt something in the grass, and when she dug it open, she found a nest of little wild rabbits.
At this time the hares were also frightened and wanted to run away, but the big rabbit ran the fastest.
Su Xinmu grabbed the big rabbit's leg, "Goudan, come here quickly."
Goudan thought Su Xinmu was in danger, so he ran over in a hurry, but he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
All I saw was Su Xinmi holding a big rabbit and chasing a small rabbit.
"Quick, grab them."
Goudan is a good worker and he has done a lot of work like catching pheasants and rabbits.
He caught all of them in no time and put them in the backpack. Su Xinmi was so tired that she was panting.
"These wild rabbits are still small. The big rabbits still need to be fed with milk. Catch them and raise them first. Don't kill and eat them."
"It's not convenient for me to stay there, so I'll leave the rabbit to you."
Su Xinmi knew the situation of Goudan's family. Goudan was very smart and capable, but his father was injured in the foot by a stone while helping to repair the road. Since then, he could not do heavy work and could only do simple things.
This meant that an important labor force was lost in the countryside, and Goudan's mother often went to work in the fields, so the burden on one person became heavier. Goudan also had an older sister who was married but often came back to beg for money.
Life at home was indeed difficult. Su Xinmo learned a little about this from Goudan and heard some more from Jiang Yinqiu.
Jiang Yinqiu worked with the aunties in the village. The aunties did not avoid her when chatting and talked to her about all sorts of gossips, which led to Su Xinmu knowing a lot.
Goudan touched the big rabbit and said, "Sister Su, you found this rabbit, I can't have it."
Su Xinmu smiled and said, "This rabbit is not for you. I am just raising it for you. It is not convenient for me to raise it or I don't know how to raise it."
"When they grow up, you can sell them for money, or you can ask me to come and eat them. I forgot to tell you that although I, your sister Su, am not good at housework, I am the best at cooking."
Goudan looked at Su Xinmu who was smiling beautifully. He knew what Sister Su was thinking.
But at the same time he couldn't refuse. Things had not been going well at home recently. His mother had been busy working in the fields and hadn't had any oily food for a long time.
Sister Su often gave them things, sometimes fruit candies, sometimes eggs, sometimes small cakes, and small cookies. He was reluctant to eat them and would go back to give them to his mother. His mother thought he had stolen them from somewhere.
She grabbed a broom and was about to hit him, but luckily he ran away quickly and explained quickly. When his mother found out, she sighed and told him to take good care of Sister Su.
If there was something good to serve at home, his mother would probably have invited Sister Su to dinner.
In the end, Goudan took the rabbit and ran away, scaring his mother so much that she went to get the rabbit.
When Su Xinmi returned, she made a point of visiting the house built next to the Youth League compound.
At this time, there were several workers building the house, hired by the village chief.
Su Xinmo didn't care about these things. It was the village chief and Ji Wei who were busy.
Ji Wei was just as incapable of doing farm work as she was, but he did not care and did not ask the village chief for easier work.
Because he had no intention of asking for work points at all,
When he couldn't finish the work, his aunt pointed at him and said to the girls in the family, "Don't fall for him. What's the point of having good looks? He's useless. How can you support a big family in the future?"
Ji Wei walked over without saying anything, looking nonchalant.
I also heard that one time, a group of people passed by the place where Ji Wei was working. In fact, they wanted to see how Ji Wei was working, but they didn't see Ji Wei and were puzzled.
After searching for a long time, he finally saw Ji Wei sleeping under the shade of a tree. The man was frightened and thought that Ji Wei had fainted from heatstroke. He asked people to check it out. A large group of people were called over. The village chief was so scared that he was sweating, or maybe it was because of the heat.
Finally, Ji Wei was awakened by everyone's noise. He slowly opened his eyes and asked everyone, "What's wrong? Why are you all gathered around me? Are you looking at me sleeping?"
Everyone left with sullen faces, leaving only the village chief who lectured Ji Wei for a long time. Ji Wei was a shameless man and didn't think it was a big deal at all.
As a result, the aunties' recent conversations all revolve around him.
Of course, these were also told to Su Xinmo by Jiang Yinqiu. The two of them laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.
When Su Xin came out, she saw the village chief walking away from Ji Wei with a bad look on his face.
Ji Wei looked at those people with joy, as if he saw that his own house had been built.
The village chief saw Su Xinmo and came over to say to her, "Su Zhiqing, you came at the right time."
"There are certain rules for building houses in this village. Although it is not allowed now, simple ceremonies still need to be performed."
Su Xinmo then realized that building a house still required some preparation. First, a site and orientation had to be chosen. A groundbreaking ceremony would be held before groundbreaking. The beam-raising ceremony was also very important. The village chief had already prepared it for them. There was also a ceremony for auspicious land, but they didn't dare to do these now. The village chief himself helped pick the auspicious days. The house was almost built.
"I didn't dare ask you to hold a banquet to entertain guests during the construction and the raising of the beams. Nowadays, no one is rich and doesn't want to do this. But your house is almost finished."
"After the work is finished, you still have to prepare a banquet to reward these masters and helpers."
"That kid Ji Wei is really unreliable. I told him that he paid me to come and discuss it with you." The village chief fumed when he talked about Ji Wei.
Su Xinmi thought of his deeds a few days ago and tried to hold back her laughter.
"I understand, village chief. When the work is finished, please invite everyone. You can calculate the wages, and then I will prepare the banquet. You can notify us when the time comes."
The village chief then left with satisfaction. Song Taomei watched Su Xinmo chatting happily with the village chief.
She didn't care that the water she was carrying was wasted a lot, and the look she gave Su Xin was a bit scary.
