Chapter 75 Chapter 75 After dinner, God...
After dinner, it was already late. Under the green hills, among the paddy fields, a few white cranes hovered and landed on the cypress trees. In twos or threes, or in groups of seven or eight, they watched the farmers carrying their hoes and leaving.
Uncle Chen and Ma Laosi were also preparing to leave. Before leaving, Chen gave all the silver for making wooden bowls to Ma Laosi, and also calculated the silver for buying meat tomorrow for Uncle Chen and gave it to him as well.
"Brother, brother-in-law, drive slowly, hold the sticks, and be careful of the dogs." Chen said worriedly. One bad thing about the village was that there were too many dogs, and they had to worry about one popping out from nowhere at any time. But there was also an advantage, as if someone's house was robbed, it would be known quickly.
"Okay, don't send me off. Go back."
Uncle Chen picked up a wooden stick on the side of the road, waved his hand and walked forward.
"Aunt, we'll leave then."
"See you tomorrow."
Ma Laosi and his son also said goodbye.
"Slower."
"good."
After watching the few people leave, Chen also turned around and went back. At the Su family, the Su Hong sisters were busy giving Lian Gu a bath in the shed next to the bamboo forest. Probably influenced by Su Tao, Lian Gu also became reluctant to take a bath and was making a fuss with her mother Su Hong.
"If Fourth Auntie doesn't wash, I won't wash either."
Su Hong and Su Li looked at Su Tao at the same time, their eyes showing obvious meaning.
Look at what you taught.
Su Tao didn't expect Lian Gu to be like this. She chuckled twice and slipped away, "I'll go get some water."
Su Hong patiently explained, "Auntie Si wants to wash it, and she will wash it later."
"Mom lied to me. Fourth Aunt said she won't take a shower today." Lian Gu held onto her clothes and refused to let Su Hong take them off. Su Hong looked at Su Li for help.
Su Li stepped forward and squatted down.
"Aunt Lian, be good. If you don't take a bath, you will become a dirty child. Your body will stink and others will be able to smell it when they get close to you. No one will want to play with you. Don't you want to play with other children?" Su Li asked.
"Yes." She wanted to play with Sister Daya and other children.
"Then let's just take a bath, okay?"
"good!"
Su Li smiled and said, "That's right, this is what a good child should be."
Suddenly, a sentence popped out from Lian Gu's mouth.
"Fourth Aunt is not a good child."
Su Li nodded emphatically while taking off Lian Gu's clothes, "Yes, Fourth Aunt is not a good child."
Children can actually understand what you say, and you need to patiently explain things to them. Sometimes their thinking is different from others, so you need to follow their thinking and think about why. For example, today Lian Gu refused to take a bath not because she really didn't want to, but because she felt that if others could not take a bath, she didn't want to either. It was that simple, nothing else.
Su Hong looked at Su Li with gratitude, otherwise she really couldn't handle it. She didn't know why, but the older the child got, the more powerless Su Hong felt, and she often couldn't understand what her daughter was thinking.
"Fifth sister, go and wash quickly. I'll wash her." In the narrow shed, Su Hong made room for her.
Su Li nodded, got up and went out.
The Su family was renovating their house, so they had to live in a temporary shed. Fortunately, the weather was sunny and there was no rain these days, otherwise it would have leaked at night and Su Li would have been in big trouble.
"Wu Ya, your grandparents haven't come back yet?" Chen came back and saw her daughter.
"No."
Old Man Su and Old Lady Wu went out to dig sweet potatoes in the fields after dinner. Originally, Mrs. Chen told them to take a rest and continue digging tomorrow, but the two said that it was cooler in the morning and evening, so they would come back as soon as they went to dig. They haven't returned yet.
"Then I'll go and take a look." After saying that, he rushed out again.
Su Li then fetched water to take a bath. Before that, she also took out her newly bought toothbrush and soap. Speaking of which, Su Li had always thought of buying toothbrushes and soap when she earned money. Now she finally bought them. Although she couldn't afford a particularly good one, she felt much happier than before. When the house was built, she would buy a comfortable bed and sleep in her own room with a soft and clean quilt. Just thinking about it made Su Li feel full of energy! All the fatigue of the past few days disappeared.
In fact, Su Li couldn't stand such fatigue at first. In the past, Su Li was more mentally exhausted when shooting food videos, and she was tired from thinking about the scripts every day. But after entering this dynasty, it became physically tiring, especially since her original body was short of food and clothing, and her health was not very good. In addition, she had been lying in bed for so long. Su Li would feel dizzy and dizzy after cooking for a long time, not to mention walking such a long way every day to sell food. There were leeches on the road, her feet were covered with blisters, and her shoulders were rotten from carrying things. At that time, it was the desire to eat meat and a better life that supported Su Li to keep going.
Fortunately, it's all over. Although I'm still very tired every day, our family's life is gradually getting better. I even bought a mule, and now I've even replaced the original thatched house with a better and more comfortable one.
As for the future, Su Li believes that the future will definitely be better, right?
At this time, on the other side, Ma Laosi and his two sons finally returned home before dark. On the way, they stopped a mule cart going to the county town, gave the old man three cents, and the old man took them to the official road not far from the village. It took less than half an hour to walk back.
"Third sister, we are back."
"Mom, we're back..."
As soon as they entered the yard, several people couldn't wait to shout towards the house. These grown men came home as if they had been away for many years.
Chen Sanniang had just finished her meal and was sewing her husband's worn-out clothes in the house. When she heard the noise, she hurried out.
"Are you back? Have you eaten?"
"I've left some in the pot for you." Chen Sanniang said as she was about to go to the kitchen to serve the food.
"Mom, we ate at my fifth aunt's house."
"Yeah, stop busying yourself." Ma Laosi stopped him.
Chen Sanniang then stopped and continued, "There's hot water in the pot. Go take a bath."
This was a serious matter. The three of them had worked all day and were dirty and smelly. They felt uncomfortable all over and wanted to take a bath. However, they did not need hot water for bathing.
"Second brother, let's go wash in the river."
"Okay, Dad, are you going?"
"You guys go ahead, I'll wash it at home."
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Sanniang to stop them, the two of them walked out arm in arm, leaving Chen Sanniang staring blankly.
"You are such a dear father. It's such a bad season and you still let them wash in the river. Aren't you afraid they will catch a cold?"
Ma Lao Si said indifferently, "A real man should just catch a cold."
Seeing him like this, Chen Sanniang was so angry that she stretched out her leg and kicked Ma Laosi's calf.
"Hiss, it hurts! You murdered my husband... I'm going to tell your parents that you murdered my husband..."
"Aren't you a real man? This little pain is nothing."
Chen Sanniang asked him back the same question he had just asked.
Ma Laosi was speechless now.
"Okay, stop pretending. How was your visit to my younger sister's house today? Are you okay?" Chen Sanniang said, her eyes full of concern.
"It's pretty good." Ma Laosi, still resentful of his wife kicking him, said casually.
Chen Sanniang glared at him again, and Ma Laosi quickly said, "It's really good. I didn't lie to you. There are also many people from their village who came to help. You are worrying for nothing."
Ma Laosi thought about how many people came today. It was not like what his wife said, that his younger sister's family had a bad relationship with the people in the village. On the contrary, they seemed to be quite good. They were all very attentive to him and called him "big brother" one by one.
"Really?" Did she remember it wrongly? She had clearly heard her mother say that the Su family didn't have a good relationship with the people in the village?
Ma Laosi nodded, "Really."
He could lie to her about anything but this.
"Did my little sister borrow money from you?"
"No." After saying that, Ma Lao Si suddenly sighed,
"I think my little sister's family is really getting along well."
? What does this mean?
As if he could see his wife's doubts, Ma Laosi told her everything he saw and heard at the Su family today.
"You didn't see it, the lunch my younger sister treated us to today was really generous. After the meal, there was also mung bean sweet soup to drink." Thinking of the mung bean soup today, Ma Laosi suddenly wanted to drink it again. It was icy cool and not too sweet. It could relieve heat and quench thirst. Why didn't he notice it before?
Yes, it must be because there is no sugar.
After that, Ma Laosi began to describe what he had for dinner in a vivid way. "Your niece's cooking skills are really good. That twice-cooked pork is even better than the ones in the county restaurants."
This is not Ma Laosi's deliberate praise. As a carpenter, he has eaten many delicious foods and has seen the world. If he says it is delicious, then it is really delicious.
Knowing that her husband was not the kind of person who liked to exaggerate, Chen Sanniang had no choice but to believe it.
Hearing that her younger sister's family was doing better, Chen Sanniang was happy for her. To be honest, she felt very uncomfortable when she knew that her younger sister had a hard time over the years. However, every time she went back to her parents' home, she couldn't control herself and said harsh words. In the end, the relationship between the sisters was hurt. Fortunately, her younger sister has finally come to an end, and the relationship between the sisters has been restored. It's great!
However, "Even if my little sister doesn't mention it, you should ask her if she wants it, just in case she's embarrassed."
He didn't expect that Ma Laosi would admit his mistake.
"Okay, I'll go ask tomorrow."
Chen Sanniang and Ma Laosi were whispering sweet nothings to each other while Uncle Chen also returned home.
However, unlike Ma Laosi who had someone waiting for him when he got home, there was no sign of anyone when Uncle Chen returned home.
Today, a distant relative of my father-in-law is coming to visit, so my wife Zhao and my son and daughter went to my father-in-law's house early in the morning. It seems that he will not be back tonight.
Although it was just a small matter and nothing serious, Uncle Chen still felt a little uncomfortable.
Before it was his parents' home, now it is his younger sister's home, and it's always like this. It was clearly agreed in the morning that he would bring his son and daughter back to help, but Zhao always had many excuses not to go. On the contrary, as long as it was his father-in-law's home, his wife would go back no matter who came. After a long time, Uncle Chen also had some opinions in his heart, making him feel that her family's affairs were her business, and his family's affairs could be put aside.
Of course, there are more than just this one thing in these years, there are many more. If he really wants to count them one by one, he probably won’t be able to live his life. But recently there seem to be more such things, which suddenly make him feel boring. Yes, it is boring, too boring.
However, Uncle Chen had wronged Zhao. Zhao really intended to go with him this time. Although she had bad intentions, she really wanted to go. It was just that she really didn't expect that there would be a guest from her mother's family. I heard that the guest was in the horse business in the provincial capital and had made a lot of money.
This is not the point. The point is that this relative has a girl who is about the same age as Chen Dalang. This is a big deal. Compared with anything else, a daughter-in-law is naturally more important, so she took her sons and daughters there early in the morning.
