Chapter 12 Chapter 12
The next day, Su Tianli got up early.
Yesterday she only saw Su Dejun starting to beat Su Youzi up, and then he went back to the house.
She had been sitting on the train for several days and nights in a row. She was carrying important documents with her, so she held her small bag tightly while sitting on the train and changing trains, and hardly dared to close her eyes.
How can you recover by just sleeping for an afternoon?
So she called Su Tiancai back and sent him to boil water for her bath.
While waiting,
Su Tianli enjoyed a wonderful performance of "Mixed Doubles".
I also heard Su Youzi's ghostly howling:
"No! Really not! I took Su Laizi's money, but it was definitely not more than 300 yuan, only more than 60 yuan! Then I spent 40 yuan to buy this skirt... I bought it at the Friendship Store! Really! If you don't believe me, go and see!"
"It's really not three hundred dollars! Mom, please believe me!"
“Ahhhh Dad! Dad, please stop hitting me, it hurts! Wuuuuu—”
"It's gone, it's gone! There are really only twenty or so dollars left! I don't have three hundred dollars, I really don't have it..." Su Youzi cried miserably.
After watching the excitement with satisfaction, Su Tianli went to take a hot bath.
She wanted to wash her hair.
But I thought it was too late now, so I decided to wait until tomorrow to buy a new basin, bucket of shampoo and towel before washing.
Just like that, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Su Tianli went to bed and fell asleep quickly.
only--
Su Youzi's intermittent crying seemed to last all night, disturbing Su Tianli's sleep.
Now, Su Tianli wakes up.
Su Youzi fell asleep?
Of course Su Tianli can't let Su Youzi be too comfortable.
So Su Tianli pretended to be terrified and shook Su Youzi a few times, "Oh my God, it's already half past nine! Don't you have to go to work, big sister?"
Su Youzi, who was sleeping soundly, showed no signs of waking up at all, and even snored a little.
Su Tianli slapped her and said, "Sister, why don't you get up and go to work? You will be deducted from your salary!!!"
As soon as he heard the word "money", Su Youzi immediately opened his eyes.
Well,
Why did her face feel so painful? It was burning!
Su Youzi covered his face and sat up, questioning Su Tianli, "Did you hit me?"
Su Tianli looked honest and sincere, "Sister, are you having a nightmare? You are my sister, how could I hit you? I am worried about you... It's already half past nine, why haven't you gone to work yet? You will be fined if you are late!"
Su Youzi was frightened and immediately took out his watch from under his pillow...
At a glance,
There was no light in the room and it was so dark that I couldn't see anything.
"Turn on the light, turn on the light!" Su Youzi shouted anxiously.
Su Tianli readily turned on the light.
Su Youzi looked at his watch and got angry, "Are you sick, Su Laizi? It's 3:30 in the morning!"
But, Su Youzi's response was a slap from Su Tianli!
“Bang!”
Su Youzi was stunned when the crisp sound of a slap was heard.
She never expected that the second brother would dare to treat her like this!
Su Youzi stared at Su Tianli with his hands on his hips, and pointed at her nose and cursed: "Su Youzi! How many times do you want me to teach you? I said my name is Su Tianli! Not Su Laizi! From today on, if you dare to call me Laizi or Su Laizi again, I will beat you up!"
Su Youzi opened her eyes wide, and was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She was about to burst into tears and call her mother to make the decision for her -
Unexpectedly,
Su Tianli ran to the living room with her hair disheveled and crying loudly, and banged on her parents' door, "Mom! Mom!!! Mom... Help!"
Soon, the door opened——
Tian Xiu came out with sleepy eyes, frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Su Tianli cried and said, "Mom! I heard my elder sister crying, and I thought it was already dawn, so I asked her, 'What time is it? Is it dawn? Are you going to work?' Then my elder sister slapped me!"
"Mmmmm, look! My face has turned red from being hit by my elder sister!"
"Mom, I've only been home for one day. First my eldest sister stole my money, and now she's beating me up in the middle of the night...Mom! I can't stay in this house anymore!"
"Since this family can't accommodate me, I'll leave! I'll leave this house! I'm not annoying, woo woo..."
Tian Xiu got a splitting headache from Su Tianli's crying!
Su Youzi, who was afraid of being at a disadvantage, chased out from the next room, and after hearing what Su Tianli said, he opened his eyes wide in shock!
She never expected that Su Laizi...
Oh no, is it Su Tianli who is so shameless?
It was Su Tianli who was confusing right and wrong! It was Su Tianli who beat her!
"Mom! Mom..." Su Youzi felt very aggrieved. "No! I didn't hit her, she hit me! Mom, look at my face! Look at me... She was the one who hit me in the face!"
Tian Xiu felt a sharp pain on his forehead, and even his temples were twitching!
but,
Su Youzi's behavior of stealing money last night had already disappointed her terribly.
It was now late at night and she no longer had the energy to figure out whether Su Youzi was telling the truth or trying to lie to her again.
So she shouted, "Shut up! What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
In fact, Tian Xiu's scolding was directed at the two sisters;
But, she did stop Su Youzi after he finished speaking.
So Su Youzi felt that
It's just that mom is partial!
When Su Tianli was talking just now, her mother did not stop her or scold her;
Now it's her turn to speak, and her mother tells her to shut up?
At this moment, Su Youzi looked at Tian Xiu angrily, with a stubborn look in his eyes and tears rolling down his face.
Tian Xiu softened instantly.
She was just about to give Su Youzi some gentle words of advice...
Suddenly, I heard Su Tianli say, "Mom, don't be angry with your elder sister! After all, she was scolded by you and dad last night! She is angry and wants to take it out on me... This is understandable."
Tian Xiu: ...
Suddenly I don’t want to comfort Su Youzi anymore!
Su Youzi: ...
Ahhhh, Su Tianli, what on earth are you talking about?
Su Tianli said aggrievedly: "I originally brought back the salary I had worked so hard to save for several years, hoping to honor my parents, but it was lost in such an unclear way..."
"But I also know that a few hundred dollars is nothing... After all, nothing is more important than the harmony of our family!"
"Mom, you said...right?" Su Tianli said with a forced smile.
Tian Xiu: Why do I suddenly feel that Su Youzi is hateful?
Su Youzi: Ahhhhhh Su Tianli, you green tea!
Su Tianli turned around silently and went to the bathroom.
Su Youzi looked at Tian Xiu with hope, hoping that her mother could hug her as intimately and lovingly as she did in the past;
Tian Xiu thought of the three hundred yuan...
No, it was the 480 yuan that was about to come to me.
I was so angry.
Finally, Tian Xiu glared at Su Youzi fiercely and said, "When will you be as sensible as Lai...like Lizhi?" After that, she turned around and went back to her room to sleep.
Su Youzi's face turned pale.
After a long time, she turned around silently and went back to her room.
After thinking about it, he was unwilling to give up, so he just locked the door!
After doing all this, Su Youzi lay back on the bed and continued to sleep.
After Su Tianli finished using the toilet, she also walked towards the room and pushed the door.
Found the door locked?
Su Tianli smiled.
She turned and went to the kitchen again.
Last night, when she asked her younger brother to boil water for her bath, she took the opportunity to check where the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice and noodles were.
At this moment, Su Tianli opened the damper of the coal stove, boiled water in a pot and cooked a pot of noodles, then put two eggs in the soup pot and adjusted the taste.
After it came out of the pot, two large bowls were added, and a spoonful of lard and some leftovers from last night were put into each bowl.
Su Tianli held the big bowl and slurped the noodles.
In fact, there are not many condiments in this bowl of noodle soup. The seasonings used are only lard, soy sauce and salt.
However, the noodles are soft and tender, the egg flavor is rich, and the lard also brings a delicious taste to this bowl of noodles.
In a moment, Su Tianli finished a big bowl of noodle soup and went to her brother's room with another bowl of noodles.
A dim light was already visible from under the crack in the door.
This proves that Su Tiancai has woken up.
Su Tianli knocked on the door twice gently——
The door opened.
Su Tiancai stood at the door, neatly dressed.
Su Tianli glanced into the house.
There was a dim electric light hanging in the room, probably less than 5 watts.
The narrow and cramped room was tidy.
The quilt on the bed has been folded into squares.
There were books and test papers on the small table in front of the bed.
Su Tianli handed over the bowl of noodles in her hand and asked, "Are you getting up so early in the morning to study?"
Looking at the bowl of noodle soup handed over by my second sister,
Su Tiancai was not surprised - the house was only this big. His second sister was cooking noodles in the kitchen. He not only heard it, but also smelled the fragrance.
But Su Tiancai was also surprised—his second sister was still thinking about him while eating noodles?
He took the bowl of noodles and first saw the fat, white poached eggs in the soup. Then he smelled the rich aroma of fat and was stunned. "Sister, you poached eggs? And... you also put lard in it?"
Su Tianli nodded, "If you don't put eggs in the noodles, the taste will be half the same! If you eat noodles without lard, you will become poorer the more you eat!"
Su Tiancai: ...
actually--
Su Tianli knew very well what kind of people her family members were.
In particular, when A-di was helping her boil water for a bath in the kitchen last night, she discovered that the cabinet in the kitchen was locked!
At that time, Su Tianli asked Su Tiancai what was locked in the cabinet.
Su Tiancai said helplessly: "Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, eggs, lard, rice, noodles, salted fish, dried vegetables, and leftovers from every day...all the edible things are locked inside."
Su Tianli held her forehead with her hand.
This is really, even more outrageous than before she left home!
Su Tianli asked A-di again, "Who are they guarding against?"
——In the past, the people we could say we were on guard against were Su Tianli and Su Qianzi.
But Su Tianli and Su Qianzi had already gone to the countryside.
The child left at home, Su Youzi is Tian Xiu's favorite, Su Tiancai is his son...
Who is Tian Xiu guarding against?
Little did she know that when she asked this, Su Tiancai's eyes turned red.
He said in a trembling voice: "It's me that you are guarding against."
"After you and Third Sister went to the countryside, all the chores in this family fell on me," Su Tiancai said, "Dad injured his waist... Even if he wasn't injured, he would always be a hands-off boss."
"My mother just keeps saying that the family depends on her...but she doesn't do housework."
"Big sister... Big sister, forget it."
Su Tiancai sighed and said, "Anyway, there was a period of time when eggs were always missing from our house, and lard also disappeared for no reason. Mom said that I ate them secretly, and I said I didn't... Dad scolded me, and my eldest sister also beat me."
"Later, my mother bought a padlock, put all the edibles in the cabinet, and locked the cabinet." Su Tiancai explained.
Su Tianli suddenly realized.
But these didn't bother her at all.
So half an hour ago——
Su Tianli took off the hairpin from her head, fiddled with it for a few times and opened the padlock on the kitchen cabinet. She easily took out the noodles, eggs and lard she wanted, and started cooking while humming a little tune.
"Eat quickly!" Su Tianli urged her brother.
Su Tiancai looked at the bowl of noodles handed to him by his second sister, and subconsciously felt that he would have to take the blame again.
On second thought, at least my second sister was still thinking about him when she was cooking noodles!
Besides, the noodles are already cooked, the eggs are already cooked, and the lard is already added... He will have to take the blame in the end.
At least this time, he clearly took the blame!
It would be a waste if you don’t eat it!
So, Su Tiancai made up his mind, took the bowl of noodles, and started eating in big mouthfuls.
Su Tianli walked into the room, picked up the exercise book on the small table, and looked at it carefully.
She seemed to have heard the people in the factory ridiculing Su Tiancai - they said that he was unworthy of being called a "genius" because his grades in school were usually at the bottom.
So...
The spectators are not lying to me!
Su Tianli frowned as she looked at the shocking red cross on the exercise booklet, then looked at Su Tiancai who was eating a bowl of noodles beside her.
Su Tiancai was so ashamed that he buried his head in the bowl while eating noodles.
There comes a time when you finish eating.
He drank all the noodle soup, then raised his head, looked at Su Tianli with shame, and said timidly: "I, I will try my best."
Su Tianli put down her exercise book and walked over to take away his empty bowl.
Su Tiancai quickly said, "Second sister, let me wash the dishes!"
Su Tianli said, "Why are you washing? You are not allowed to wash."
After saying that, she took the empty bowl to the kitchen, and placed it together with the empty bowl she had just used to eat noodles in... and turned and left.
Su Tiancai stood at the door, looking towards the kitchen in horror.
Su Tianli warned him again, "You don't know what happened. You didn't cook the noodles and you didn't eat them. You don't know who cooked them and you don't know who ate them. Do you understand?"
Su Tiancai hesitated to speak, and finally nodded timidly.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Tianli prepared to go back to her room to sleep.
Of course, Su Youzi had already fallen asleep by then, and the door was locked by Su Youzi.
What's so difficult about that?
Su Tianli took off the flat clip from her head and fiddled with the keyhole for a few times, and the door lock opened obediently.
She climbed into bed swiftly and went back to sleep.
At around seven in the morning, Su Tianli was awakened by Tian Xiu's incessant cursing.
Her first reaction was to stick her head out from the upper bunk and look at Su Youzi on the lower bunk.
Surprisingly, Su Youzi was already awake? She probably just woke up too, and thought Su Tianli was not in the room. So when Su Youzi saw Su Tianli,
Su Youzi's eyes widened, "How did you get in?"
Su Tianli pretended not to understand, "Sister, what are you talking about?"
At this time, Tian Xiu pushed the door open and asked with a gloomy face: "Who of you stole my key last night and opened the kitchen cabinet? And cooked noodles, ate eggs and lard? And didn't even wash the bowl after eating noodles?"
While saying this, Tian Xiu stared at Su Tianli.
Yes, Tian Xiu thought that Su Tianli did it.
After all, when Su Tianli was not back, there had been no such things as picking locks or eating alone in the house for many years.
Su Tianli admitted it openly, "Mom, don't be angry with my elder sister!"
Tian Xiu: ???
Su Youzi: What does this have to do with me!!!
Su Tianli said softly, "…My eldest sister cooked the noodles. She insisted on apologizing to me, saying that she shouldn't have taken my money, which made Mom angry and caused disharmony in our big family. My eldest sister also said that as long as I ate the noodles she cooked, I would never talk about it again."
At this point, Su Tianli sighed, "Although I feel it's a loss, three hundred yuan for a bowl of noodles... then this bowl of noodles is too expensive. But if I reconcile with my elder sister, my mother will be happy! So I... I had to agree."
"Mom, the noodles my eldest sister cooked are quite delicious! She even poached an egg for me and added a spoonful of lard! That bowl of noodles is quite fragrant!"
Tian Xiu was silent.
actually--
She wasn't sure if it was Su Tianli who picked the lock.
After all, Su Tianli had only been back for less than a day. She didn’t even know where the bowls were placed at home, let alone that she had kept the key to the cupboard…
so?
Tian Xiu looked at Su Youzi puzzledly.
——Could it really be Su Youzi who did it?
It's really possible!
After all, Su Youzi knew where she usually hid the keys.
However, Tian Xiu was skeptical.
Because she knew Su Youzi too well. This guy was lazy, greedy, and couldn't cook...
At this time, Su Tianli made a playful joke, "But sister, even though I ate the noodles you cooked, it means that we have reconciled...but I have to say something upfront - you can't secretly take my money anymore!"
When Tian Xiu heard the second half of Su Tianli’s sentence, she immediately understood!
——So that’s what Su Youzi meant when she gave Su Tianli the bowl of noodles! After the sisterhood was restored, she still wanted to continue to take advantage of the second brother?!
As a result, Tian Xiu looked at Su Youzi with an even more unfriendly look!
Firstly, she doted on Su Youzi as a mother, but she had never eaten the noodles cooked by Su Youzi;
Secondly, the family is already so poor, and Su Youzi stole so much money yesterday, and yet he still dared to boil eggs?
Tian Xiu was so angry...she wanted to rush over and slap Su Youzi in the face!
But looking at Su Youzi's aggrieved and angry look, Tian Xiu couldn't bear to leave. He just gave Su Youzi a cold look and turned away.
Su Tianli was a little surprised.
—What? She just made up some nonsense!
Does Tian Xiu... believe it?
After thinking about it, Su Tianli looked provocatively at Su Youzi, who was sitting on the lower bunk with a look of surprise on his face, and showed a sarcastic smile.
Su Youzi was stunned.
She thought to herself—
This, this, this, this...what on earth happened?
Before she even said a word, her mother was convinced that she was the one who secretly cooked noodles in the middle of the night and stole eggs and lard?!
Su Youzi was so angry that she suddenly remembered - something was wrong. When she went back to bed in the early hours of the morning, she locked the door!
so? ? ?
Su Lai...
How did Su Tianli get in?
Su Youzi rushed over and carefully checked the door lock, only to find that it was intact? !
so!
How could Su Tianli pry open the door lock for no reason?
So, Su Tianli also has a way to pry open the padlock of the cupboard? !
Su Youzi was so angry that he stomped his feet!
She looked at Su Tianli with hatred, snorted, and was about to turn around and complain to her mother...
Su Tianli spoke leisurely, "If I were you, I would just swallow this loss in silence! Otherwise...what do you want to tell mom? Say that you locked the door in the middle of the night and didn't let me go back to sleep? I've only been back for a day, and you're thinking of kicking me out? If I really move out...guess, will mom and dad agree?"
Su Youzi was stunned.
She then remembered that Su Tianli came back with a transfer order! She was about to become the head nurse of the Municipal People's Hospital!
This is the only thing that can bring honor to the Su family!
Parents would never agree to let Su Tianli move out.
That……
She simply can't do anything to Su Tianli? !
Su Youzi was so angry that he bit his lower lip and looked at Su Tianli hatefully.
Su Tianli was too lazy to pay attention to Su Youzi.
She checked the time - wow, it's already 7:30 in the morning?!
So she quickly got up, washed, changed her clothes, then sat at the dining table, frowning as she looked at the breakfast that Su Tiancai had bought from the company cafeteria.
The lunch box was filled with watery porridge and seven or eight steamed buns. There was also a plate on the table with a few pieces of white fermented bean curd...
That's it?!
Su Tianli complained in her heart - she had eaten better food at Farm 109 in the Northwest!
However, generally speaking, the canteen of an enterprise represents the economic strength of the enterprise.
The better the economic performance of a company, the more variety of dishes it offers and the cheaper the prices.
There is only one chemical plant in Guangzhou at present, so the economic benefits are of course very good.
So, Tian Xiu just couldn't bear to spend money to let A-di buy expensive breakfast.
Su Tianli said to Tian Xiu seriously, "Mom, from now on I will have an egg every morning, boiled, steamed, or fried. I will also have a cup of soy milk or milk with a spoonful of sugar. I will also have a variety of stuffed buns, fried dough sticks, sesame cakes, or dumplings. Finally, I will also have some whole grains, boiled sweet potatoes or boiled corn."
Then he added, "On our farm in the Northwest, these are the minimum standards for breakfast!"
The Su family was collectively stunned.
Su Youzi is especially so.
What?
How could a farm in the heart of the Northwest desert, so poor and remote that even birds don’t shit there, provide such a rich breakfast for its employees every meal?
Are you kidding me?
"Dream on!" Su Youzi rolled his eyes at Su Tianli and said sarcastically, "Do you really think of yourself as a cadre? And you're so particular!"
Su Tiancai was also stunned, and asked in disbelief: "Second sister, you mean that the breakfast you had on the farm in the northwest... you could eat eggs, milk or soy milk, buns or fried dough sticks or dumplings, and boiled sweet potatoes or corn in the morning?"
"One person can eat four kinds of food, and it's the minimum standard?" Su Tiancai asked.
Su Tianli nodded.
Su Tiancai was stunned for a while before asking again: "Then, what if it is not the minimum standard?"
Su Tianli replied: "If it's not the lowest standard, then it's the patient meal! Patient meals are usually prepared in a small kitchen, such as lean meat porridge, bone soup noodles, and steamed egg custard."
Su Tiancai still couldn't believe it, "But, isn't that the Northwest?"
Su Tianli smiled and said, "In your eyes, is the Northwest very poor?"
Su Tiancai nodded embarrassedly.
Su Tianli said: "But the 109 Farm I went to is different. It is a model farm and the white moonlight in the hearts of all the educated youth in the country. The conditions are great! When you graduate in the future, I will take you there to visit relatives! Our place is so good..."
Yes, she used the word "we".
Even though she felt a sense of belonging to the farm, she couldn't feel a sense of belonging to this home.
Su Youzi sneered at the side, "Just brag!"
Su Tianli ignored her and turned to tell Tian Xiu, "Mom, forget about today's breakfast. You have to give A-di more money tomorrow so that he can buy a nutritious breakfast."
Tian Xiu didn't say anything and just turned his back to Su Tianli.
Su Tianli didn't take it seriously and urged Su Tiancai to go to school.
Su Tiancai looked at his second sister with sparkling eyes.
——In the early hours of the morning, he and his second sister secretly had a meal alone but were not discovered by their mother. The second sister even put the blame on the eldest sister!
This was the first time that Su Tiancai witnessed his dictatorial mother and spoiled elder sister being played around by his second sister!
so!
You must listen to your second sister!
Su Tiancai nodded repeatedly and hurried away with his schoolbag on his back.
At this time——
Su Youzi sat down at the dining table.
Seeing Su Tianli stretching out her hand, as if she wanted to take the steamed bun?
Su Youzi quickly snatched away the entire plate of steamed buns on the table!
Then Su Tianli went to get a bowl, as if she was going to add some porridge?
Su Youzi quickly took the lunch box of porridge and held it in his arms. He lowered his head and put his mouth on the edge of the lunch box to take a big sip of the porridge...
And then——
Su Youzi looked at Su Tianli in a demonstrative manner.
Su Tianli was too lazy to pay attention to Su Youzi. She just looked at the wall clock hanging on the living room wall - it was ten minutes to eight.
Yao Meiyu should be here soon.
At that time, she could ask Yao Meiyu to lead the way and take her to a small restaurant outside to have a good breakfast.
It would be even better if we could drink tea and eat snacks!
"Sister, don't you have to go to work?" Su Tianli asked curiously.
Hearing this, Su Youzi puffed up her chest proudly, "Mom is afraid that I don't get enough sleep, so every morning during the shift, she goes to the mailroom to help me with work."
As he spoke, Su Youzi looked at Su Tianli triumphantly.
Su Tianli understood, "My friends are coming over. Tell them in front of them how you managed to sign me up for the rural program and send me to the Northwest, but lied to them and said I went to Jiangxi!"
Su Youzi was stunned.
Su Dejun, who was sitting on the side and eating breakfast slowly and without a sense of existence, heard this and asked, "Yes, Boss, why did you do this?"
The smug smile that had just appeared on Su Youzi's face disappeared in an instant.
She lowered her head in embarrassment...
Su Tianli asked: "Is it because of money again?"
In fact, Su Tianli just said this casually.
After all, Su Youzi has always been trying to make money.
All the money was Su Tianli's.
Unexpectedly, when Su Youzi heard this, his face turned pale instantly as if he was stressed!
She looked at Su Tianli in horror, stood up suddenly, and said in a panic: "I, I...I'm leaving first! I'm going to work!"
After saying that, Su Youzi rolled back to his room and changed his clothes, then hurriedly changed his shoes...
Tian Xiu heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. Seeing Su Youzi's embarrassed look, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Youzi, what are you doing?"
Su Youzi, "Mom, I'm going to work!"
Tian Xiu: ...
Su Tianli kept staring at Su Youzi.
Before this, Su Tianli had already prepared herself mentally - it must have been Su Youzi who had done this to completely cut off her contact with Guangzhou.
But she always thought that Su Youzi might have done this out of jealousy between sisters. After all, there were many people in the family at that time, but few resources. One more person at home would take up some resources...
Therefore, Su Youzi tried his best to drive her and the third child away so that he could monopolize his parents' love.
But now, Su Tianli doesn’t think so.
——Su Youzi is stupid and bad, but she is not smart. She would not do this without the motivation of interests.
In other words, there is a mastermind behind this matter!
It was the mastermind who paid money to instruct Su Youzi to do this.
In an instant, Su Tianli became furious!
I can't believe that for so many years, someone has been hiding in the dark and trying to murder her?!
At this time, Su Youzi, panicking and confused, was about to flee.
As soon as she opened the door, she didn't even look at the road, and rushed out like a cannonball.
Then, she was about to collide with a handsome young man...
