On the day of the grain harvest, Su Xia carried several bags and followed her uncle to the village square.
Dabao ran while waiting for Su Xia behind him.
Sometimes I would complain: "Mom, why are you so slow?"
Is Su Xia still so difficult to walk away? Occasionally, when she sees a villager, she will greet him: "Hello, uncle!
Hello, Auntie!
Where is Uncle Zhao going?
Uncle Li is still busy? ...."
They will all get the same words: "Jianguo's wife, go buy some food. How much do you plan to buy today?
Jianguo's wife, you have to buy more!
Su girl, come over here when you have time! ......"
Now the villagers are used to it. Every time when they need food, Su Xia buys a lot of food and does the work. But it's not just her. Some villagers with a large population and little labor force will also buy some so that they won't go hungry.
When Su Xia arrived at the place, the team in front had already started to collect food, and the team behind was discussing with each other what to eat when they got home after collecting the food. Some were even preparing for a wedding at home!
Su Xia found a big tree and sat under it, waiting for everything to be done so that she could go forward to buy food.
Dabao had already run to the group of children, "Brother Dashu, why are you here so early?"
The uncle looked at the little kid running over and curled his lips. It was him who came late.
"I came here with my family, where's your mother?"
Dabao wiped the sweat from his forehead and pointed his finger in Su Xia's direction: "My mother is sitting there!"
There were a few good friends playing with Dashu. They all looked in Su Xia's direction, then turned around and looked at Dabao.
Why---
Dabao's mother is so pretty?
"Come on, Dabao, let's go play over there!" Dashu took Dabao's hand and ran to a place with many trees. Several children began to play their usual games, hide-and-seek, and then they started playing "Eagle Catches Chicken".
Su Xia watched Dabao having fun from afar, and just let him do what he wanted. After all, it was better for boys to run outside.
There were several young wives in the team, headed by Su Lanxiu, who looked at Su Xia with disdain, "What a wine-loving wife, if she went to work, she would have food rations and children, why waste money like this!"
Su Lanxiu looked at her little sisters, who wouldn’t be jealous?
"That can't be helped. It's our fault that we don't have a good man!"
"Yo--
"Shugen wife, your husband knows that you will have to wear a scar on your face!" A villager refused directly after hearing this.
"You you--
What does it have to do with you? You are just Su Xia's lackeys, a wife who doesn't work and spends money on her family. I don't know why you are protecting her?" Su Lan was delicate and straightforward.
"snort--
You still say that Su girl is a spendthrift. You have people who earn a lot of money, but they have as much as a pig. If I can raise pigs, why don’t I earn money? "
"Yeah, you guys always say bad things about Su girl behind her back, you just envy her for having a good life and being loved by men!"
Aunt Li, a famous fortune teller in the village, looked at Zhao Shugen's wife in confusion, and it seemed that she was from the same family as Su Yatou.
We are about the same age, is that possible?
He looked at her in disbelief: "Su Lanxiu, could it be that you were attracted to Jianguo at that time?"
Everyone looked at Aunt Li in shock, and then at Su Lanxiu, who was trembling all over, with a face whiter than flour.
"Li Xiulan, whether it's true or not, don't talk nonsense." The people around Aunt Li reminded her. After all, she has a man and children now.
Aunt Li had already guessed that it was more or less like this, because Lan Xiu's lips were trembling because of fear, which was a sign of being predicted.
At this time, even Su Lanxiu and her sisters looked at her with suspicion.
Su Lanxiu bit her lower lip lightly, knowing that if it was confirmed, she would be doomed.
When no one was paying attention, she pinched her thigh hard, and the pain instantly caused tears to flow from the corners of her eyes.
"Auntie Li, you can't slander me. I just can't stand her squandering money. Besides, I should marry her first!"
When others heard this, they agreed that it was right that she was the first to get married!
Aunt Li did not continue to argue, "Oh, then you should stop talking about it in the future. It was Su Yatou who worked hard to grow watermelons in the village, and it was Su Yatou who guided us in raising pigs."
"Yes, you guys say bad things about Miss Su every day, you should ask us if we will allow you to do so?"
Su Lanxiu and the others looked at the ferocious-looking ladies and had to queue up quietly, waiting for food.
They used to feel hot on Su Hi's back, but today they were still stimulated by Su Xia's appearance and couldn't help it.
Because Su Xia was a few years older than them, her face was whiter than theirs, her figure was better than theirs, and she was as pure as the people in the city.
In addition, everyone in the village knew that Su Xia could raise pigs and chickens, and that he had connections with the county steel plant.
I have gone from disdain at the beginning to envy, and now even admiration.
All the men in the village who are unmarried want to find a wife like Su Xia, who will get married and have children. They all secretly envy Chen Jianguo for having such a beautiful and capable wife.
Even these men, when in bed, would dislike them because of their bad figures, dark skin, and body odor.
Su Lanxiu lowered her head to hide her fierce expression. This Aunt Li was indeed a know-it-all in the village and could guess everything.
She really guessed it. Her grandmother did fall in love with Chen Jianguo at first sight, but he ignored her and walked past her when he saw her standing shyly in the distance.
She hated him so much at that time that she wanted to hug him directly, but she heard that he had gone to the army the next day and there was no news after that. She had no choice but to get married.
But what made her angry was that Chen Jianguo actually married Su Xia, the laziest person in their village.
When she found out, she was so angry that she threw things around the house. Finally, she lay on the bed and cried. She couldn't understand why she, who worked every day, couldn't compare to Su Xia, who was lazy and a spendthrift.
After that, she would find trouble whenever she had the chance, but after being pissed off once, no one dared to provoke her openly. She was fearless.
It was not until the people next to her arrived at her house that Su Lanxiu came back from her thoughts and added to her own food.
Su Xia waited for an hour, while the matchmakers lined up, and she started to look for the captain and his men.
The secretary looked at Su Xia who was coming over happily.
"Su girl, is it still the same today?"
Su Xia nodded. "Accounting is annoying. It's still the same."
The accounting table knew it, he lowered his head to write it down, calculated it again, and looked up at Su Xia.
"Su girl, corn 500, potatoes 200, sweet potatoes 200, mung beans 20, soybeans 20, small red beans 20, a total of 220 yuan!"
Su Xia nodded and handed the bag to Zhao Dalin next to her, "Dalin, thank you for your help!"
"Sister-in-law will be here in a moment, just wait!" Zhao Dalin now only has admiration and respect for Su Xia.
Others were not surprised, because they had gotten used to it in the past few days. Besides, after Su Xia bought all the goods, there were still a lot left in the village, so the money should also go to the villagers.
With this calculation, even if Su Xia bought grain from them, he would not lose anything.
Dabao ran to Su Xia and said, "Mom, have we finished shopping? I want to invite Dashu to our house to eat candy, but I didn't bring any!"
Why--
Su Xia looked at the sweaty kid, then looked at the few children in the distance who didn't dare to look at her.
She took one out of her pocket and, under Dabao's surprised look, let him take it.
"Go ahead, little buddy, play for a while. When grandpa comes to help pull in food, we'll go home together, okay?"
Dabao hurriedly ran to his friend and had to nod.
Zhao Dalin looked at Su Xia embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I made you spend money again!"
"It's okay. I have to thank the big tree for bringing Dabao to play with me!"
Others also looked at Su Xia with satisfaction. Even though he didn't work and wasn't sociable, he was a good and generous person, and he didn't hide anything from others, such as growing watermelons and raising pigs.
