It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 33 Laba (Eighth day of December)

Su Chenrui returned to Su's house in a daze, Su Rui glanced at it, and asked lightly, "You're back?"

Su Chenrui nodded weakly, "Yes"

"Oh...Chen Rui! You will encounter more differences in the future, this is only the first time..."

"Oh"

Seeing Su Chenrui's distraught appearance, Su Rui was really helpless and ignored him. He had to let him figure it out, otherwise it would be useless...

Said to the three younger sisters: "Let's see what Uncle Song gave." After saying this, he opened the box.

After opening it, the Su family sisters were all stunned.

Su Ying stammered, "This, this, this is too precious, right?"

No wonder Su Ying was surprised, even Su Rui was a little dazed when she saw it. There were two small boxes in the box, surrounded by dozens of gold ingots, and they were all five taels in weight. There are two jade pendants in one, and four pearl bracelets in the other.

Su Rui gave the jade pendant to Su Chenrui, and the pearl bracelet was shared with the sisters.

Su Chennan is not willing anymore, why do brothers and sisters have gifts?He didn't? "Sister, I want too."

Su Rui stroked his little head to comfort him: "Let your second sister tie a net later and hang it around her neck."

Counting the gold ingots, there are a total of fifty. Think about one tael of gold and ten taels of silver. These 250 taels of gold ingots are equivalent to 500 taels of silver.

Su Rui thought: "Then what kind of grain should I sell? How much grain should I sell to earn so much money?"

Su Qiao thought a lot, and asked worriedly: "Elder sister, Second Uncle Song gave us so much gold, is it all right?"

Su Rui shook her head, she believed in Song Er, "It should be fine, you have to remember, Uncle Song is not an idle person."

Su Rui didn't tell her younger siblings that it was difficult for Second Uncle Song to go to the Jurong Bank in Qinghe Prefecture. Su Rui believed that with Uncle Song's net worth, there must be more than one bank.

After thinking for a while, Su Rui told her siblings: "Second Uncle Song gave it to us. Don't talk nonsense outside. Uncle Song and the others are driving a carriage out of the village today, and someone will definitely see it. If you come to ask, just say... well, just say I went to the county some time ago to help others, and I came to thank you for coming."

Su Rui looked at her siblings and said coldly, "Did you hear that?"

The brothers and sisters of the Su family heard the eldest sister's voice, and immediately returned to their senses: "Elder sister, we heard it. There is absolutely no nonsense outside..."

"Well, you guys go out, these big sisters will hide." Su Rui waved her hand, motioning her younger siblings to go out.

Su Chenrui and the others hurried out, what to do, what to do.

Su Rui entered the space and put the gold and the silver money from selling ginseng together. Now the family has three to four thousand taels of silver.There are also several thousand catties of food, and it is really done, and there is no panic when the family has surplus food.

The next day is the Laba Festival, and Sister Su Rui will prepare the ingredients needed to make Laba porridge on the seventh day of the seventh day.

Laba porridge, also known as "seven treasures and five flavors porridge", "Buddha porridge", "everyone's rice", etc., is a kind of porridge made from various ingredients. "Drinking Laba porridge" is the custom of Laba Festival.

In the palace of the Yun Dynasty, not only Laba porridge should be cooked, but also distributed to all officials, and it has become a custom.Due to the emperor's advocacy and attention, folks also rushed to follow suit to cook Laba porridge, eat with the whole family, and give gifts to relatives and neighbors.

The last time Su Rui went to the county, she bought several kinds of beans and red dates, soaked them today, and cooked them early tomorrow.

Before dawn the next day, Su Rui and Su Qiao got up to cook porridge. When cooking porridge, use high heat first. When the beans are about to bloom, add rice.Stir while cooking, be careful of the paste pot, once the paste pot, the whole pot of porridge will be full of paste smell, and it will be ruined.

After cooking for more than two hours, the Laba porridge was finally cooked.

Su Rui added rock sugar to the porridge, and seeing the eager eyes of her siblings, Su Rui filled a bowl for each of them.

It stands to reason that you should not eat it first, you should give it to friends and friends for the celebration first, and then mix it with the Laba porridge you sent back, and then eat it.

However, how can someone else be willing to release materials for their own?Anyway, she is not a pure ancient person, so these customs don't matter.

After eating, Su Rui put two bowls of Laba porridge into the basket, and handed it to Su Chenrui, "You are the eldest son of our family, so you have to give gifts to the old house by yourself in the future I'm going to deliver it. There are two bowls here, and one bowl will be delivered to the village chief's house, understand?"

Su Chenrui looked at the elder sister, and caught it hesitantly: "Elder sister, I understand. I'll go and send it off..."

"Um"

He motioned to Su Ying and Su Qiao and said, "You give these two bowls to Uncle Chang Le and Uncle Chang Ying's family."

After a while, Lin Lijun also came to deliver the Laba porridge: "Sister Su Rui, this is the Laba porridge cooked by my grandpa. Don't dislike it."

Su Rui quickly took it: "Why do you dislike it? Just wait a moment."

Su Rui poured the Laba porridge into the empty basin next to her, filled another bowl of her own Laba porridge, and handed it to her, "Li Jun, this is cooked by my family. You should also try different flavors."

"By the way, Lijun, how are your rabbits doing?"

Lin Lijun heard the little rabbits, and said happily: "They are very good, very lively every day. Grandpa said that they can be bred around February of the new year, and then give birth to little rabbits..."

"Well, that's good, be careful on the road."

"Goodbye, Sister Su Rui." Lin Lijun carefully carried the bamboo basket and walked back slowly.

Su Rui didn't ask if the hay had been eaten, so it must have been eaten, it's been so long.

But Mr. Lin didn't ask Lin Lijun to ask, which meant that they were poor but had their own ambitions.

The second person to come was Su Qin and Su Ying, followed by Su Chenyuan's brother and sister.

Su Rui said hello to Laba porridge.

But they didn't want to stay. Before going out, their parents had already told them that today was the Laba Festival and they couldn't stay at someone else's house for dinner.

Seeing this, Su Rui took out ten apples from the space, and the family gave five.

When Su Rui put the gold in yesterday, she found that the apples were ripe, and the red ones were very beautiful.

After waiting for a long time, Su Chenrui came back.

Su Rui took the basket that Su Chenrui was carrying, and found that there was only a bowl of Laba porridge in it, "Why did you come back so late? Who gave this bowl of porridge?"

Su Chenrui replied, "It was given by the village head uncle."

Su Rui asked strangely: "Why didn't the old house return the porridge?"

It's not that Su Rui is greedy for this bowl of porridge, it's a custom, and it's good to give each other gifts.

Su Chenrui said with a troubled expression: "Eldest sister, when I went, the old house was always in trouble."

Su Rui was surprised, why did it start to make trouble again? "how?"

"Well, grandma said...Grandma said that my aunt didn't respect her, and she wanted to marry my uncle a flat wife..."

Su Ying opened her mouth wide in shock...

"Oh my god! Is this going to marry my uncle a concubine?"

Su Rui thought to herself, this old lady is too capable, right?Can't live a good life?
"and then?"

Su Chenrui said coyly: "My aunt is definitely not happy, my grandma gave my aunt some drugs last night. Then my uncle and that person..."

Su Rui understood, this is raw rice cooked.

"My uncle woke up before dawn, and ran back to her mother's house when she found out what grandma had done..."

Su Rui answered: "Then uncle's natal family came, right?"

Su Chenrui nodded, then shook his head again.

Su Ying was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked: "You really said it."

"Not only the aunt's natal family came, but also Su Yi's sister and brother-in-law from the county town came and reported to the government."

Now all the Su family sisters "..."

Su Ying asked, "What about now?"

Su Chenrui, "When I came back, the yamen servant was about to take grandma and uncle away."

Su Rui "..."
