It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 18 Repairing the Roof (August [-]th Lunar Calendar)
When Aunt Hua brought Su Qin to Su's house.

Su Rui is watering the cabbage and radishes in the backyard.

"Aunt Hua, Sister Qin"

"Sister Rui, thank you for the silk flowers." The little girl Su Qin came up and hugged Su Rui's arm and said kissingly.

Su Rui smiled: "This silk flower suits you very well."

Aunt Hua looked at Su Ying, Su Qiao, and even Su Wan with silk flowers, but Su Rui didn't bring them, so she asked, "Why didn't you bring them?"

Can Su Rui say she feels dirty?Of course not... I just smiled embarrassedly: "I don't like silk flowers very much, and I want to wear at least a silver face in the future."

Aunt Hua smiled and nodded: "Haha, who doesn't like silver?"

Aunt Hua remembered the main purpose, and said, "Su Yatou, your Uncle Chang Le has already agreed with the clansmen to come and repair the roof for you on the eighteenth day."

"Uncle Chang Le is really troublesome. How many people are there?" Su Rui took a sip of the water sent by Su Qiao.

Aunt Hua looked at the purse that Su Ying was sewing and said, "It seems to be about six people, including lunch and dinner."

Su Rui thought for a while: "Auntie, will you help me cook that day? We may not be able to cook for so many people."

Aunt Hua wanted to come and help with the cooking, so she agreed.

"Row"

Aunt Hua picked up the purse and exclaimed: "Oh, this girl's craftsmanship is really good! Look at the delicate stitches, the ones from the embroidery shop in the county are like this, right?"

"She does have this talent. She can make our sister and brother's clothes now, but it has helped me a lot." Su Rui is very proud of her sister's ability.

"Gaiming, I will teach you how to embroider, but my embroidery skills are average."

Su Ying was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Aunt Hua, I will study hard."

"Second sister, that's great." Su Qiao was really happy for Su Ying. She was with her second sister every day, and she knew how seriously her second sister practiced cutting and sewing.

The two sisters looked at each other and smiled.

"The people of the tribe help me to eat, what dishes do I need to prepare? On the day of No. 17, I went to the county to buy meat and vegetables, and I bought them back by the way." Su Rui asked Aunt Hua.

Aunt Hua replied casually: "This actually depends on the conditions of each family, but there must be at least one meat dish. There are other steamed buns that eat Wowo, Erhe noodles or Sanhe noodles."

Su Rui nodded to show that she understood.

On the morning of the [-]th, Su Rui took Su Chenrui to the county town together. The last time she went by herself, she was almost exhausted.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the village, they saw Su Changying bringing Su Chenyuan and Su Qiang driving an ox cart.

"Girl Rui, why don't you come to ask me to borrow an ox cart? If I hadn't heard from Su Qiang this morning that Chen Yuan said that you were going to the county town this morning, I wouldn't have known."

"Uncle Chang Ying, I'm sorry to trouble you every time." Su Rui climbed into the bullock cart.

Su Chenyuan and Su Qiang dragged Su Chenrui onto the cattle driveway: "Sister Rui, why are you embarrassed? Didn't you call me uncle? Why do you have to be so ignorant when you are all relatives?"

Su Changying waved the bullwhip and said, "Chen Yuan is right."

Su Rui laughed...

"Okay, I will need to use a bullock cart in the future, and I will never be polite again."

When we arrived in the county, today is not the day of the big market, so the ox carts can enter the market, Su Changle sent Su Rui and the others to the door of the butcher shop.

Su Rui led the three of them into the butcher's shop. The butcher still knew Su Rui.

"Yo, so it's you. What's the matter? Did you get scolded for buying so many bones last time?" The butcher laughed.

Su Rui shook her head, "Uncle, do you still have any bones today? If there are any, I'll take them all."

"Yes, you had more last time, more than eight catties. You have to give six copper coins." The butcher uncle tied the bones in the bucket.

"Uncle, you also weighed the rest of the suet for me, and there are five catties of pork belly." Seeing that there were still two large pieces of suet left on the chopping board, Su Rui hurried to serve it.This is early, if it is late, it will be sold out...

The butcher weighed the oil and asked, "There are still four pig's trotters, do you want more? If you want it, I will give you a cheaper price."

"Yes, give me the scale"

Su Rui took out her purse and paid the money.

Su Qiang took it first and said: "Sister Rui, we will help you get it to the bullock cart."

Su Rui didn't argue with them, but said, "Okay, you have helped my sister a lot today, and I will treat you to wontons later, and tomorrow my sister's house will still make delicious food. You all come..."

"Okay." Su Qiang and Su Chenyuan said in unison.

Su Changle waited for them to buy the meat and put it in the car, then said, "Go shopping, if you buy too much, bring it here first. I'll stop at the grocery store."

"it is good"

Saying goodbye to Su Changying, Su Rui remembered asking the butcher just now, and he said that there were vegetables, fruits and the like sold in the market.

Su Rui took three little laborers to buy, winter melon, cabbage, radish, apples and pears.

She hurriedly walked to the grocery store. On the way, Su Rui suddenly remembered that this time she could take out some eggs as an excuse and said, "Elder Sister, I remembered that I didn't buy something, so you go to the grocery store and wait for me in the bullock cart."

After finishing speaking, he ran away, found an old man who sold backpacks, spent three Wen, and bought a backpack.

I found a remote place, entered the space and took out some leeks and a basket of eggs.

Back to the bullock cart.I bought five catties of salt and five catties of brown sugar at the grocery store.

At noon, she didn't rush back to eat lunch, so Su Rui asked Chang Suying to eat wontons with her.

Back in Sujia Village, Su Changying did not leave the village, but went around the village and returned to Su Rui's house.

After breakfast the next morning, Su Changle and Su Changying came together with their helpers.

"Uncles, I will trouble you today." Su Rui rushed out to greet her.

Su Changle waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go to work. Your Aunt Hua will be here in a while, let's go to work first."

Su Rui packed the things in the house into the cabinet yesterday, or covered it with steps.

"Qiao'er, you take Wan'er and Chen Nan to Uncle Chang Ying's house today, and play with Min'er and Chen Li. Call them over to have dinner together at noon." Su Rui thought about how crowded and messy it is today, why not let her They go out to play.

"Okay, big sister." Su Qiao obediently carried Chen Nan on her back, and led Su Wan to the door.

"Chen Rui, boil some more water, take out the brown sugar that eldest sister bought yesterday, and make brown sugar water for uncles to drink." Su Rui directed Su Chenrui, she did not have the concept that children cannot work.

Su Chenrui hurriedly ran to the stove to light a fire to boil water.

Seeing the leeks bought yesterday, Su Rui said to Su Ying: "We practiced the oil last night, take out some and chop them up, mix them with leeks, and fry a few eggs into it if it's right. Wrap Erhe noodles Baozi"

Su Ying said embarrassedly: "Sister, I don't know how to make..."

Su Ying only knows how to make buns and steamed buns to paste pancakes, but she has never made buns.

"Girl Ying, let's make a bag." Aunt Hua's voice came.

Su Rui looked up and saw that it was Aunt Hua and Aunt Lin.

"My aunts are here, so I feel at ease."

Aunt Hua patted Su Ying's head and said, "Okay, you and Qin'er help pick some vegetables and start a fire."

Lin nodded and smiled, "It's not bad to help light the fire and pick vegetables."

If someone helps, Su Rui won't be busy. Five catties of white flour and five catties of corn flour are handed over to Aunt Hua to make the noodles.

Aunt Lin put the scrambled eggs and You Zi La on the chopping board together, and began to chop them.

Su Rui took Su Ying and Su Qin to pick leeks...
