my daughter my hometown

Chapter 23 Su Hai
The courtyard of Su Xue's house was full of smiling villagers.

Seeing Su Wu and the others come in, the villagers kept saying congratulations and dragging him to sit down.

This is the custom of the village.

All weddings, funerals, and helping out, can have a meal at the host's house.

Su Wu wasn't too surprised, it's just that he didn't have the skills to do it all, so he could only politely refuse them one by one.

The inexplicable Su Hai straightened his eyes, scratched the back of his bare head blankly, and kept yelling.

"What is this congratulations, Xiao Wu, what have you done?"

He and his dad had just come back from the hospital in the neighboring county this morning and had no idea what was going on.

Su Wu ignored him, just smiled and went into the main hall to find Aunt Ma who was busy.

"Auntie, I didn't expect so many people to come. Just tell me what's missing at home, and I'll go buy it right away."

Aunt Ma was so busy that when she saw her idle son standing next to Su Wu, she couldn't help but want to swear a few words.

But Su Wu's matter is important right now, so she had no choice but to keep her words in her stomach.

"I'll think about it."

"The food was brought together by everyone, as long as there is too much. The rice is a little short, but I borrowed a few rice cookers nearby, and it can be cooked quickly. Nvnuhong..."

Speaking of this, Aunt Ma turned around and brought over a jar of wine covered with a red cloth in the corner of the room.

"The bartender brought over eighteen altars of daughter red, enough to drink for a while. Take this altar of Xiaowu home and find a place to bury it."

Su Wu nodded and took the heavy wine jar.He took a deep breath and faintly smelled the strong aroma of the wine in the altar.

Sweet, warm, long breath.

It is the best wine on the altar!

Su Wu patted the jar with satisfaction, "Aunt Ma, is there anything else?"

Aunt Ma thought about it.

"There are a lot of children here, and they can't drink alcohol yet. Go and buy some drinks and various fruit and snacks."

"That's right," she patted her forehead, "I also bought a few more cigarettes. I just took out a few cigarettes that your Uncle Ma secretly hid, but they weren't enough."

The bald Su Hai stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Mom, you actually found the cigarettes that Dad hid? That's his treasure."

Aunt Ma scoffed.

"You father and son are so flirtatious, but you still want to dig out the palm of my Tathagata?"

"That's what you said." Su Hai arched his hands wordlessly, with a sincerely convinced expression on his face.

"Auntie," Su Wu laughed out loud, "That's all? Drinks and alcohol."

He remembered that holding a banquet was quite troublesome, and it took several days just to prepare.

"Then what else?"

Aunt Ma stared.

"Everyone knows that you just came back from outside. There is no older host at home, and Xiaoxue is a little boy with no hair yet. So I brought the vegetables from my own house. There are many people and strength, and everyone will get together and make a living. Soon there will be a banquet table."

Su Wu wiped his sweat again and again, he saw all of this.

"Yes yes yes! Auntie said yes, I'll go buy it now."

He looked around, "What's up late?"

Su Hai on the side was already confused, and quickly grabbed the conversation.

"Wait, is this Nurhong?"

He took a few steps back and carefully identified the house in front of him. After confirming that this was Su Xue's house, he even pointed at the altar in Su Wu's arms with a dazed expression.

"Xiaoxue was playing with us yesterday, so she shouldn't be getting married so soon. What does that mean?"

Suddenly Su Hai screamed.

"By the way. Mom, who was Wan Wan you mentioned just now?"

Aunt Ma didn't have time to pay attention to her silly son, she was too busy.

"There are a lot of people here, and you are at Xiaowu's house every night. Xiaoxue is watching, so it should be fine."

"I have to go and see." Su Wu, who didn't see the child with his own eyes, felt uneasy, and turned back to his yard with the wine jar in his arms.

After entering her own yard, Su Xue was cleaning.

The little Su Wan was squatting next to the rice ball, babbling and turning over the lifeless wild goose, as if she wanted to see what secrets were hidden under the rice ball's wings.

From time to time, the rice ball would take a few steps, and Su Wan would wobble after him, and the wild geese would go up a few more steps, and the little girl would keep chasing after her. One person and one goose had a great time.

"Xiaoxue, what are the rice balls doing?" Su Wu asked.

Su Xue stopped and explained with a smile.

"The aunt in the village said it. You should practice walking more at Wanwan's age. I'll sweep the floor so that there is no glass or something stuck in her."

"Okay. Well done." Su Wu nodded and gave her a thumbs up.

Su Hai's eyes widened a long time ago, he walked over like a few steps, squatted down and carefully looked at the little girl on the ground.

"Damn, this is actually a living person. I thought it was a beautiful Barbie doll."

He raised his head and looked at the cheerful Su Xue, "Xiaoxue, who's child? They've grown up so much, why haven't I seen them before?"

Su Xue threw away the broom, covered her mouth and laughed tremblingly.

"Brother Heizi, when did you get your shape? It's so handsome, it looks like a light bulb with a few crosses on it. Shiny eyes!"

Su Hai's eyes were diverted, he couldn't help touching his bare head, and smiled.

"The dog days are coming soon. I passed by the hospital half a month ago, and I asked the doctors and nurses to shave it. Cool off!"

Su Wu put down the wine jar, first took out a fruit washed with space water and handed it to the rice ball to appease the wild goose before carefully checking Su Wan's condition.

The little girl is all right.

"Are you hungry Wanwan? Thirsty? Would you like Dad to get you something to eat?"

Su Wan's smiling eyes never left the rice ball, but her little hand reached out and gently grabbed Su Wu's finger.

have to.

It's hungry.

Su Xue came over and looked at all this curiously.

"Brother, what does Wanwan mean? I asked her several times just now, but she ignored me. "

"But..." Su Xue's face was full of joy: "She finally let me hug her safely."

Su Wu nodded.

"She's just afraid of strangers, it's good to be familiar with your breath. She only drank a little milk in the morning, and she should be hungry now."

Su Wu looked around and stroked the little girl's long hair.

"Wait a little later in the evening, when Dad finishes burying the wine, I'll make you something to eat."

Although it is his own home, Su Wu has been studying abroad for many years, but Su Xue is far more familiar with this yard than he is.

She took out the hoe and asked with great interest, "Brother, where do you want to bury the wine?"

Without hesitation, Su Wu pointed to the tall Bitong tree in the center of the yard.

"Just bury it under this tree. It will be kept for the next house reconstruction, so it's easy to remember."

"Alright." Su Xue looked at the Bitong tree whose branches and leaves almost covered the whole yard, and nostalgia flashed in her eyes.

When she was a child, her father hung a swing from this tree, and she often played with Su Wu on it.

quack…

The rice ball ate Su Wu's fruit, kept to itself and endured Su Wan's abuse, at this moment suddenly looked at Su Xue, and screamed anxiously.

Su Wu who was digging a hole couldn't help looking over curiously.

"What's wrong with the rice ball?"

Su Xue originally wanted to hold back her smile and pretend to be serious, but she couldn't.

"Fantuan said that the tree cannot be cut down, and its water tank and fish cannot be thrown away."

Su Wu laughed loudly, and he nodded the rice ball's head from a distance.

"Don't throw it away, stay with Wan Wan, I'll keep it all for you. But let me explain first, Fantuan, the fish in the tank is yours, I don't want it. But this tank is not yours."

Fantuan felt relieved, and after calling a few times, he ignored Su Wu, and retracted his head to make Su Wan giggle.

Su Hai, who had been suffocating for a long time, finally seized the opportunity. He grabbed Su Xue and uttered hoarsely.

"Xiaoxue, Heizi, I'm a little confused. This child is Xiao Wu's... daughter?"

Su Hai's neck stretched so long that he finally choked out the word "daughter", but his voice was as dry as two broken pieces of iron rubbing against each other.

Su Xue smiled sweetly, and she blinked mischievously.

"Brother Heizi, congratulations for getting the answer right. It's a pity that there is no reward."

Su Hai suddenly realized.

He slapped his head hard, and directly sent a piece of gauze pasted on it flying out.

"I just said a few days ago that my mother beat me to death and refused to let me go out of the hospital. Last night, she suddenly called me and asked me to come back. She also said that staying in a hospital was a waste of time and money. So the problem lies here."

He suddenly squatted down and reached out his hand to hug Xiao Suwan, but just as he stretched out his hand, he flinched back.

"Xiao Wu, you are doing well. My daughter is already this old, so I won't tell my brother."

With great strength, Su Wu dug a hole about half a meter deep in a few strokes. He carefully put the wine in and filled it back with soil.

"I did this for your own good." Su Wu glanced at the unconvinced Su Hai, "If I had told you that I had a child two years ago, once Aunt Ma knew about it, think about the consequences for you."

as a result of?

Aunt Ma must have been tirelessly urging him to go on blind dates, get married, and have children...

Su Hai thought about it carefully, and couldn't help shivering.
