It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 198
"What are you talking about? It's not about me and cousin Mingzhou, is it?"

Hua nodded with difficulty, looked at Su Chenrui and Su Chennan who were standing beside Su Rui, and didn't know how to describe it.

"Yes, they... well, what they said was not very nice."

Su Rui waved her hand to indicate that there is no need for Hua Shi to say anything, she can guess what they said, she doesn't care what they say, after all, "whoever does not tell others behind their backs, whoever is not said behind their backs" she still know.

Su Rui was just speechless... What are these people thinking? If she was seventeen or eighteen, you could talk about it, but she is only twelve now.

Then he sighed again, well, in this dynasty, the 12-year-old basically started to see her husband’s family. Thinking about this age in modern times, they are all the flowers of the motherland. Teachers and parents are strictly guarding against strict warnings not to fall in love. You have to study hard and make progress every day, but this dynasty has started to visit your in-laws! ! !It simply destroys the three views!
Su Chenrui has studied ethnology for more than half a year, met many people of the same age, or several years older than himself, and some of them are already engaged, so they understand a lot of things. Once Hua finished speaking, He understood, and his face straightened.

"Aunt Hua, who said these words?"

Huashi didn't know how to answer, she glanced at Su Rui, Su Rui hurriedly said.

"Chen Rui, these gossiping women not only talk about me, but also talk about others. Do you think other people have found it?"

"You are going to do great things in the future, so you can't worry about these trivial things."

Su Chenrui's face was full of unhappiness, "But, but they said you and brother Mingzhou!!"

Su Rui wanted to pat his head, but suddenly found that Su Chenrui's height had increased a lot in the past year since she came here, and was already on the same level as her.

"Chen Rui has grown up, and knows how to care about Eldest Sister. Eldest Sister is very happy, but you should know, Chen Rui, that you are born human, and you have to endure being said."

"You can stop one mouth, but you can't stop thousands of mouths."

"Well, you can just treat those tongue-grubbers like a dog barking. We can't be bitten by a dog. Let's bite back, right?"

Su Chenrui "..."

Hua's laughed out loud, and patted Su Chenrui's shoulder, "Chen Rui, your elder sister is right."

Su Chennan raised his head, blinked his big eyes and looked at Su Rui, and said obediently: "Eldest sister, Gogou doesn't bite."

Su Rui stroked Su Chennan's little bun, and smiled, "Yes, Gogou is very obedient and doesn't bite!"

Su Chennan showed a few white teeth and nodded with a smile.

"Ah."

Soon it was the day of raising the beam. On that day, all the people in the village, including Su Changyong and his wife in the county, returned to Sujia Village.

All males, including old people in their [-]s and young children who have just given birth, are all present.

The young and middle-aged people first carry the things dedicated to the ancestors to the ancestors one by one, give the ancestors a look, and then carry them to the front yard of the new ancestral hall, where the women will make the banquet.

In this dynasty, women were not qualified to worship ancestors, but they didn't care. When they were busy preparing the banquet, the women still had time to chat and laugh, which set off the lively scene.

As for the men of the Su family, they must take the rankings of their ancestors to the new ancestral hall one by one at the calculated auspicious time. The remaining series of ancestor worship procedures are to recite the names of the people in each house, and For example, there are more children in the clan, and Su Rui donated wild ginseng, built a new ancestral hall and ethnology for the clan, etc. These things should be told to the ancestors.

By the time the ancestor sacrifice was over, it was already past lunch time, but everyone didn't mind, and went home one after another to get the dishes, tables, chairs and benches.

Today's ancestor worship has a pig donated by the patriarch Su Zheng's family, and various ingredients donated by the clan's family, so the meals on the table are extraordinarily rich.

Su Rui's family did not donate food and meat. She went home and thought about what to donate for a long time, but in the end Meng Mingzhou couldn't see it and gave her advice.

"Sister Rui, our family only has four acres of land, and we can only produce so much food every year, and the family has to support so many people. Although the Su clan must know that we don't have enough food, they should buy food."

"But we can't buy food to donate, and there must be a lot of people donating food."

Su Rui is worried, her family has a lot of food, so since food can't be donated, why donate rabbits?

But then shook his head again, the rabbit is not suitable, so what to donate?

Meng Mingzhou saw the apples and watermelons on the altar table, and thought that few families in the clan were willing to use the land to grow fruits, so fruits were in short supply in Sujia Village.

But watermelon is too rare to be suitable, but apples are fine. It is already the beginning of August in the lunar calendar, and the apples in some places are already ripe, and the price is very cheap, at least cheaper than grain, so he suggested.

"Why don't you donate apples?"

Su Rui's eyes lit up. Yes, you can donate fruits. The apples grown in her space are big, red, sweet and delicious.

"Okay, but how much is appropriate to donate?"

Meng Mingzhou lowered his head and thought for a while, "How many people will there be tomorrow?"

Su Rui thought about what Hua Shi told her, "Well, including the young children, there seems to be about three hundred people."

Meng Mingzhou nodded, "So you want to set up 37 banquet tables?"

Su Rui shook her head, "Not that many, there are thirty or forty children who are still too young to be carried by their mothers."

"Then there are about 32 people left, and if there are eight people at a table, that's about [-] tables?"

Su Rui thought for a while and finally nodded, "Almost."

Meng Mingzhou nodded when he got the confirmed number, "An apple can be cut into eight pieces, and each person can divide into two pieces. Then one table needs two apples, and 32 tables need 64 apples."

"Well, I definitely can't prepare the exact 64 apples. How about I prepare 88? The number sounds nice, and the amount is not too big or small."

"......... Will it be less?"

Su Rui was dumbfounded, she thought that it would be one for each person, at least half for one person, this guy is good, one apple for four people.

Meng Mingzhou told Su Rui in a very affirmative tone, "Sister Rui, trust me, there is nothing less."

"Things are rare and expensive. This apple is definitely not rare for us, but for most people in the Su family who have never even been to the county seat and only ate wild fruits in the mountains, it is already very rare. Why do they care about the quantity? how much?"

“…………………………”

Su Rui was speechless, thinking about it, she should do as he said.
