It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 46 Telling a Story (Eighth Day of the First Lunar New Year)

"Big sister, I'm back." Su Chenrui carried his bamboo box, saw that there was no one in the yard, there was a noise from the kitchen, and walked in.

"It's the first time to go to a private school, how do you feel?" Su Rui added firewood to the stove without raising her head.

Seeing that the three sisters were all busy, Su Chenrui put down the bamboo box, sat next to Su Rui and said, "Mr. today didn't give a lecture, but just told us about various things, saying that he would send his rations to the kitchen every month, The rations for today's lunch were provided by the private school."

Su Qiao picked up the fried hemp leaves, handed them to Su Chenrui and said, "I said why didn't elder brother come back for lunch today, so in the future, elder brother will have his lunch at the private school?"

"click"

Su Chenrui said while eating: "Well, yes, what will we do in the private school in the future, what will we eat, and we will never be able to eat Qiao'er's food for lunch again. What is this? It's delicious."

Su Rui laughed at the side, "Today, Qiaoer and I just figured it out. You are just like Waner, no matter what you eat, you say it's delicious."

Su Qiao handed another piece to Su Chenrui, "Elder brother likes to eat more."

"Hey, it's really delicious." Su Chenrui took it embarrassedly.

Su Rui: "By the way, you said you want to send food, so do you have any requirements for what food to send?"

Su Chenrui wiped his mouth after eating the hemp leaves and said, "There are requirements, the rice must be hulled, the wheat must also be ground into flour, and the corn must also be flour."

Seeing that Su Chenrui finished speaking, Su Rui stopped, and said helplessly, "Can't you finish it all at once?"

Su Chenrui looked at Su Rui blankly, "Huh?"

"Ah... For example, you can choose any of the three types of rice flour and corn flour, or you need all three kinds of food, and how much does each food cost?" Su Rui didn't wait for Su Chenrui to think about it, and directly asked him to forget it. .

Su Chenrui came to his senses, and quickly said: "Ah, oh, there is a request, there is a request. One person per month has two catties of white flour, two catties of rice, and fifteen catties of cornmeal. If there is no rice flour, one catty of rice flour will be used. Two catties of cornmeal instead."

"Well, it's okay. The charge is still very reasonable. Pure cornmeal only weighs 23 catties a month, and ordinary people can afford it."

Su Ying thought for a while and asked, "Sister, what shall we prepare for Chen Rui?"

"Well, what about this, Chen Rui, can I prepare all the cornmeal for you?" Su Rui asked for Su Chenrui's opinion.

It doesn't matter to Su Chenrui, as long as he can eat enough for lunch, it doesn't matter what to eat.

"sure."

"Eldest sister, why don't you bring rice noodles to elder brother?"

Su Qiao is a little strange, there is a lot of food at home, especially the rice and wheat in the cellar seem to be endless, and there is still a lot left.

Su Rui doesn't know Su Qiao's doubts, otherwise she would definitely think, it's because I often take it out of the space and put it in!
Su Rui explained: "In the eyes of outsiders, our family has no money."

"Oh, got it"

Just as she walked into the main room with the fried hemp leaves, Su Chennan heard a voice in the bedroom, yelling at Su Rui.

"Sigh... stop screaming, isn't eldest sister here?" Su Rui put down the hemp leaf and walked to the bedroom helplessly.

"Eldest sister ignores Chen Nan, and elder sister doesn't give him food." Seeing Su Rui walking to the edge of the kang, Su Chen Nan stood up and walked to Su Rui's side, pointing at Su Wan to complain.

Su Wan was unhappy, and retorted: "Eldest sister, Chen Nan lied to others, and obviously gave him several dollars."

Su Rui glanced at the empty bowl, then at the crumbs on Su Chennan's mouth and chest, tapped Su Chennan's nose and said, "Okay, you, I can't even finish my sentence, so let's start." Are you going to lie? If your fourth sister didn't give you something to eat, where did the scum on your mouth come from?"

"Chen, Chen Nan only ate a little bit." Su Chen Nan made a little gesture to Su Rui with a guilty conscience.

"I'll eat that too. You're not good, and I'll punish you not to eat it! And say "I'm sorry" to your fourth sister." Su Rui believes that no matter how young a child is, lying is a bad habit and must be corrected from an early age.

Su Chennan had never seen her eldest sister treat him so fiercely before, she was a little dazed, and her eyes slowly filled with tears.

Su Ying looked a little distressed. She and her eldest sister have taken care of her younger brother since he was born. Because she has never seen her mother, Su Ying dotes on Su Chennan very much.

Walking to Su Chennan's side, carefully hugged her in her arms, and said to Su Rui: "Elder sister, younger brother is still young, why don't you forget it? Wan'er is fine too..."

Su Wan thought of the beating she had received, and was afraid that the eldest sister would beat her younger brother, so she hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, Wan'er is fine. My younger brother is playing with Wan'er."

When Su Rui saw that Su Qiao and Su Chenrui wanted to persuade her, she quickly stopped her and motioned her siblings to sit down.

"Perhaps you all think that Chen Nan is just playing with Wan'er, trying to please me and be pitiful. But I don't think so. Because the first time a lie occurs, if you don't teach, don't care, listen but don't hear, turn a blind eye, he will taste Sweetness, in the future, he may wrong his brother and sister for a little thing, once, twice, three times, we are relatives, we will definitely tolerate him, but as time goes on, when the time comes, he will become more and more courageous, and he will He deceives outsiders, but the outsiders are not related to him, so why should they tolerate him?"

Su Rui sighed, and continued: "Hey...it will be too late to discipline at that time, do you understand?"

A flash of panic flashed in Su Ying's eyes, she hurriedly let go of Su Chennan, and stammered, "Big, big sister can't do it, right? Chen Nan is still young."

Seeing that her younger siblings still didn't believe her, Su Rui thought for a while and continued, "Then elder sister will tell you a little story about lying."

Su Ying nodded several times.

"Ahem..." Su Rui cleared her throat and said, "Once upon a time, there was a sheep herding boy who would go to the mountain to herd sheep every day. One day, he thought of an idea to play tricks on everyone. He shouted to the farmers who were farming at the foot of the mountain: "Wolf coming!help! When the farmers heard the shout, they rushed up the mountain, trying to save him. The shepherd boy laughed loudly: "You have been fooled!" "The farmers left angrily. The next day, the old trick of the sheep-herding boy was repeated. Although the farmers were skeptical, they went anyway. They were very angry when they found that the sheep-herding boy was still lying, so they never believed him again."

Su Chenrui liked listening to stories very much, so he hurriedly asked: "Eldest sister, what's next? How is this sheep-herding doll?"

Su Rui poured a glass of water and took a few sips. Su Ying looked at Su Rui anxiously.

Su Rui put down the water glass slowly, looked at her siblings, and continued: "After a few days, the wolf really came and broke into the flock. The shepherd boy was terrified, and shouted desperately: "Wolf is coming!Help me! "The farmers heard his cry and thought he was lying and playing tricks on them again, so no one came to help him. As a result, many sheep of the shepherd boy were killed by wolves."

Su Chenrui and the others looked at each other after listening to the story, then lowered their heads and began to think.

After a while, Su Rui asked, "What do you think this story tells us?"

Su Qiao said first, "Sister, this story tells us that lying is bad behavior."

Su Rui nodded, "Well, Qiaoer is right, Yinger, what do you think?"

"I think it's not good for this sheep-herding doll to disrespect others."

"Where's Wan'er?"

Su Wan was still young and didn't understand any reasoning, so she just said, "Sister, I know people can't tell lies, otherwise no one will believe it."

Su Rui gently touched Su Wan's small face and said, "Wan'er is right."

Su Chenrui thought for a long time, but Su Rui didn't rush him, but just drank tea silently.

Su Chenrui finally plucked up the courage, and said to Su Rui: "Sister, I think this story tells us that we should be honest and not use lies to achieve our goals, let alone lie to fool others."

Su Rui nodded in relief. Although the younger sisters didn't say what she wanted to express, Su Chenrui expressed it, indicating that they really understood the story.

"So, do you still think that eldest sister is making a fuss out of a molehill?"

Su Ying shook her head several times, "Sister, you are right."

Su Rui saw Su Chennan's pitifulness, touching her tears with her small hands, her heart softened, no matter what, he was only over one year old, and he didn't understand the truth.

"Hey...Chen Nan, don't lie to others in the future, you know?"

Seeing Su Rui open her arms towards him, Su Chennan threw herself into her arms, shedding tears of grievance, and said in a crying voice: "Elder sister, Chen Nan is good, don't lie to sister."

"Well... say "sorry" to your fourth sister."

In Su Rui's arms, Su Chennan said in a muffled voice, "Sister, I'm sorry."

Su Wan patted her younger brother's head from behind and said, "I forgive you, but you are not allowed to lie to others in the future."

"Chen Nan, good boy..."
