Chapter 77 Chapter 77 “Don’t worry. …
"Don't worry." Su Hong said with a smile. She felt relieved after her fifth sister said that last time. She could not help but pay attention to it occasionally, but her energy was soon occupied by the busy daily life.
"By the way, please save a portion of that pig's trotter for me. I will take it back to my daughter later. She will love it." Shen said. No matter how poor or hard life was, she would not let her daughter suffer. She was sorry that her daughter was born into this world and became what she is now. She would try her best to satisfy her in whatever she liked. She just hoped that she could be happy all her life.
She has no other wishes now, only hopes to earn more money, so that when she dies one day, the money can allow her daughter to live the rest of her life in peace. But Shen also knows that this may just be a luxury. This world is so cruel to ordinary people, let alone a child with mental problems. So Shen has also thought about this problem. If she cannot arrange her daughter's future well, she will take her daughter away at that time.
"Okay, Auntie, don't worry, I'll leave it for you."
"OK."
The three of them were talking, and soon Su Li and the others came.
"How was your day?" Chen got off the mule cart and asked.
Su Hong smiled and replied, "It will be over soon."
Chen said, "Okay, no rush, let's wait a little longer."
"Aunt Shen." Su Li came over from the mule cart and greeted.
"Are you here? Come and rest in this shady place for a while." Shen invited a few people to the shady place nearby.
"Sister Shen, you are here today too."
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Shen family had been selling food in the county town, but I didn’t expect that they would come to the dock again today.
"Yeah, that cake is hard to sell in the county town, and I can't make much money, so I came here."
"Your food is still the best and sells quickly." Shen's tone was full of envy, and then she said,
"It's just that we make too little every day. I heard several people say yesterday that they couldn't buy it if they came too late. You can make more, especially the pig's trotters. My daughter loves it."
This wasn't the first person to say this. Su Hong also said, "The pig's trotters are indeed selling the fastest today."
Su Tao also nodded, "Yes, several people have come to ask about it." The pig's trotters sold the fastest. Now there is only the portion left for Aunt Shen in the basin. The second best-selling dish is shredded pork with fish flavor, the third is stir-fried pork intestines, and the last is pickled fish.
"Then let's make more tomorrow." Su Li said. She didn't expect that the most popular dish would be pig's trotters. She was originally worried that there was not enough meat in the trotters and they were almost all bones, and they would definitely not sell as well as the shredded pork with fish flavor. Unexpectedly, pig's trotters were the best seller these days and they were never enough to sell.
"That's great." Aunt Shen was the first to agree.
"Then go back and talk to my uncle and ask him to leave some more for us."
"good."
Then, the few of them chatted for a while and stayed at the food stall until all the food was sold out before leaving.
.
At this time, after dozens of people worked hard for the past 8 or 9 days, the Su family's house has begun to take shape of a wooden structure. They can start laying tiles tomorrow, and after laying the tiles, they can build mud walls, followed by making doors, courtyard walls, kangs and other small things. Basically, at that stage, so many people are not needed. The Su family, Chen's uncle Ma Laosi and others can do it. In total, the house can be built in less than a month.
This time, the Su family built five main rooms, a kitchen, a shed for livestock, and a toilet. According to Su Li's suggestion, they also built an extra shed for bathing. This was simply made of wooden boards and was completed in a few days.
Every time Su Li returned home these days, she found that the house was getting different day by day, and the sense of belonging in her heart became stronger and stronger with the changes in the house. From the original thatched house to the current tiled house, she witnessed all the changes with her own eyes. To be honest, she was still reluctant to leave the original thatched house, because that was where she lived when she first came here. Sitting on the doorstep every day waiting for her mother and others to come back from work was also a very beautiful memory. Of course, there was not much reluctance, but more of an expectation for a better life in the future.
"It's really fast. I guess it will be finished by the end of the month." Chen got off the mule cart and looked at the house under construction and said,
Old Man Su, holding the mule and asking him not to move, also said, "It should be about the same."
It was built so fast. Looking at the house, Chen could already imagine what it would look like after it was built. While she was happy, she couldn't help but think of her son and husband who were far away. If they saw that the family had built a new house, raised pigs, and bought a mule, they would definitely be very happy.
Days passed by, and no one knew whether they were safe or not. However, no news was good news, and Chen had no other way to comfort herself except to do so.
"Mom, grandma, fourth aunt, and little aunt, look at the windmill that my cousin made for me!" Lian Gu ran out of the yard, holding a big windmill made of bamboo for her by Ma Er in her hand. She ran and the windmill turned at the same time, which looked very beautiful.
Su Tao fell in love with the windmill the moment she saw it. She put down what she was holding and ran to Ma Dadao in the yard, saying, "Cousin, I want a windmill too."
Ma Da didn't expect that his fourth cousin also wanted one. He only made one to please Lian Gu. What should he do?
"Well... Fourth sister, can I do it for you later?"
"Okay!" That's great.
After Ma Da finished speaking, he turned to Su Li who came in and said, "Fifth sister, do you want one? I can make one for you too."
Hearing this, Su Li looked at the windmill in Lian Gu's hand. It was indeed very beautiful, and she was a little tempted. However, she still refused and said, "No need, cousin. You can make it for Fourth Sister."
Ma Da said "oh" to indicate that he understood, but he was thinking in his heart that he would make one for Su Li later.
"Fifth cousin, I can cook too. I'll cook for you. Can you make me some pig's trotters?" At this time, Ma Er suddenly appeared from nowhere and looked at Su Li with a flattering face.
These days, Ma Laosi and his son basically come to the Su family to have breakfast with Su Li and the others. Two mornings ago, Su Li even specially cooked noodles with the broth of braised pig's trotters, and put two pieces of pig's trotters on each person. Ma Er naturally ate it. From that day on, Ma Er has been thinking about it and wants to eat it again.
"I can make it for you, second cousin, but you don't need the windmill." After all, the two cousins had been helping to repair the house and making that bowl for her these days, and they were really hardworking.
This was so embarrassing, even someone as thick-skinned as Ma Er felt a little embarrassed. He thought to himself, what if he went to the county or town to buy some rouge and powder that girls like? Or maybe some hair ornaments? He saw that his mother liked to buy these the most, so he thought his cousin would like them too.
"By the way, the bowl you want, cousin, will be ready tomorrow. I'll bring it to you the day after tomorrow." To be honest, Ma Er really didn't understand why his cousin wanted that strange-shaped bowl, but since it was his cousin who wanted it, he couldn't say anything.
"Really? That's great. Thanks for troubling my second cousin."
Su Li was very happy to hear that the bowls were ready. She could finally replace them with plates. You know, she was scared to carry the ceramic bowls with her every day when she went out, for fear that the mule cart would shake them too fast and break them, so she had to put a lot of leaves and cloth in the basket every time.
But despite this, many cars were still injured. There was no way around it, the road was too bad and it was inevitable to encounter such things. The only thing to be thankful for was that Old Man Su was usually quite stable and had not overturned the car yet.
"No trouble." Hehe, Ma Er scratched his head and laughed.
