delicious farm girl

Chapter 106
Su Fu didn't want to leave yet.

However, seeing Li Er standing there like a pillar, he didn't dare say boldly that he wanted to stay.

He hesitated there alone for a long time, anyway, Su Ran and Huang didn't intend to keep him.Not to mention Li Er.

He looked left and right, but in the end he could only walk away in despair.

After the people left, An Ge'er quickly stuck out his tongue. "Brother-in-law, you are amazing, but you can drive him away! Sister, mother, you don't know how annoying Brother Datang is! When he was in the provincial capital, he lived in inns every day, went in and out of restaurants, and when he was eating hot and spicy food He didn’t even look at us. As a result, he ran out of money and was kicked out by the innkeeper, and then he wooed us, eating ours and ours, and insisted on picking and choosing. You have to eat meat for every meal! It almost drove us to death!"

"Then did you give him meat?" Su Ran asked softly.

"Of course not! With the few money we have, it's not bad for one person to eat two cornbreads a day. How can we have money to buy meat? We saved the cornbread for him from between our teeth." With a look of hatred on his face, "So the husband said, he likes to eat or not. If he doesn't eat, he will be hungry! As a result, he was hungry for one meal, and he started to eat every meal after that, and he ate more than us! "

This Su Fu is much smarter, much more versatile than Sister Xuan and Sister Hua.

Su Ran twitched the corner of her mouth. "Anyway, he is a relative, and it is only natural for you to bring him back. But you must have suffered a lot on the way. Now I have left a few dishes for you in the kitchen. I don't know when you will come back. I didn't dare to keep him." There are too many, you go eat some first! Pad your stomach first, so you can go to the village chief's house for dinner."

"Okay!"

The two brothers gnawed on the cornbread along the way, relying on talking about the good dishes made by Su Ran every day to swallow the food in their mouths with difficulty.After finally arriving home and seeing Su Ran, they couldn't bear it anymore.Now that Su Ran said that there are still vegetables in the kitchen, how can the two brothers hold on?They hurried to the kitchen to find something to eat.

However, the two brothers did not dare to enjoy the food by themselves, but invited Mr. Yuan out, and the three of them had a big meal around these dishes, and then took a bath and changed clothes, and went to sleep refreshed.

After finally serving these three people, Su Ran took the clothes they had changed to wash.

Li Er helped her fetch water from the well.

The three of them came back all the way, but they saved up several dirty clothes, and Su Ran soaked a big basin.

But even so, Su Ran was happy in her heart, and she was also elated after washing.

She counted with Li Er enthusiastically: "It's all right now, Brother Quan won the prize of a scholar, and from now on, he will get three stones of Lumi every month. Adding the stone that Brother An was born as a child, it will be four stones in total. The four shi rice is enough for our whole family! Moreover, if the whole brother is selected as a scholar, the family's land will be exempted from tax, which will save a lot of expenses. Later we will use our family's land Putting it in his name will save our family from taxes! In this way, our family's income this year will be much more!"

Hearing her say the three words 'our family', a gleam of light flashed in Li Er's eyes.

"Yeah." He nodded slightly, agreeing to her plan.

After washing and hanging up the clothes, the grandson of the village chief came to invite Mr. Yuan to the banquet.

Mr. Yuan and Brother Quan got up, changed into clean clothes, and went to the village chief's house together in a grand manner.

An Ge'er refused to go this time.

"This banquet is for my husband and those who have passed the exam. What am I going to do? With this time, I might as well stay at home with my bridesmaid, brother Zhuang, and rhubarb! I want to die. You guys!" An Ge'er whispered, holding Rhubarb with both hands and couldn't let go.

Rhubarb has not seen him for a long time.Now she is tired of being in his arms, rubbing her furry head against his face, one person and one dog are very affectionate.

Brother Ang also wanted to hug Brother Zhuang.It's a pity that Brother Zhuang was too unenthusiastic towards him, and he was so dishonest even twisting in his arms. He was so shocked that he let go of his hands and hugged Rhubarb resentfully.

Su Ran didn't force him either.

Boys have a certain competitive spirit.Especially brother Quan and Brother Yuan who passed the Tongsheng exam with him last year were both selected as scholars, but he failed. This must have made him feel very uncomfortable.Although there were also people in the village who failed like him, and the village chief also explained that it was because he was still young, but how could he let go of his mentality and compare himself with those who were inferior to him?
It is a good thing to keep your eyes on those who are stronger than you and compare yourself with them all the time.

Mr. Yuan and Brother Quan drank until midnight before returning.

Unsurprisingly, Mr. Yuan got drunk again, and was helped back by the village head's two sons.

Su Ran hurriedly cooked the wine soup and asked Li Er to feed it to him, and she brought a bowl to Brother Quan.

Brother Quan also drank a little wine tonight.Although she was not drunk, her cheeks were flushed red, and she reeked of alcohol whenever she spoke.

He hurriedly took the hangover soup and drank it all in one gulp, then smiled at Su Ran embarrassedly: "Actually, I really don't want to drink it, but the third uncle said that I was a scholar and I am an adult, and I will definitely have to go in and out in the future Many rich and noble families have to practice their drinking capacity. My husband also persuaded me from the side, but I had no choice but to drink a few glasses."

"It's okay, third uncle and sir are right, you can drink some wine now, but you must restrain yourself." Su Ran nodded slightly.

Brother Quan quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know what was going on, but every time he faced Su Ran, a gentle and gentle sister, he was more nervous than when he was in front of his mother, Huang.Especially when he did something wrong, his heart hangs high, Su Ran's casual movements and eyes can make him jump for a long time.

But now, knowing that Su Ran has no objection to drinking by himself, a happy smile bloomed on his face.

"Sister, I will remember what you said, and I will restrain myself!" He nodded quickly.

As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his volume. "By the way, sister, let me tell you, the big hall brother still hasn't returned to town!"

Su Ran frowned. "Then where did he go?"

"He's at third uncle's house."

Su Ran was taken aback for a moment, and immediately relieved.In the past, the village head was very warm to Su Fu's family.Now, although Su Fu didn't pass the exam, there are already two scholars in their village, but who would dislike too many scholars in their own territory?If possible, he will try his best to win over Su Fu.Therefore, it was indeed a correct choice for Su Fu to defect to the village chief's house after being kicked out by them.

"That's his own business, so don't worry about it anymore. If you can bring him back from the provincial capital safely, it's already done your best." Su Ran said softly.

"Well, I know. I'll just tell you." Brother Quan nodded quickly.

Su Ran patted him on the shoulder, put away the empty bowl and went out.

After tidying up in the kitchen, when she returned to the house, she saw Li Er was polishing something under the lamp.

Now that the family's finances are better, almost every room is lit with oil lamps at night.But Mrs. Huang is used to frugality, the lights in her room have never been turned on, and the lights in Su Ran's and Li's second rooms are only turned on when needed.After all, lamp oil costs money, and they don't have that much money to burn it.

So, seeing him like this, Su Ran was inevitably curious.

She walked over slowly. "What are you doing?"

Li Er turned his head, holding a small slingshot in his hand.

Su Ran suddenly whispered: "You made this for Brother Zhuang?"

After being discovered by her, Li Er seemed a little embarrassed.He coughed twice before nodding his head lightly: "Yes."

Su Ran took it over and looked at it, then nodded: "It's very well done, much better than the rough things made by Brother Quan and the others before. But... are you sure Brother Zhuang can play at such a young age?"

"Hold it in your hand to practice the feel first, and then you can play when your arms are strong." Li Er replied slowly.

He thinks long term!

Su Ran laughed again. "You're obviously very nice to Brother Zhuang, but why do you keep a straight face every time you're in front of him, so fierce that he doesn't even dare to move?"

"How could I be good to him? I just thought of it and made a slingshot." Li Er said immediately, but he didn't dare to look into Su Ran's eyes.

Su Ran laughed even more happily.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. But for a boy, it is indeed better to have a strict father around him to teach him. However, if you are a girl, you can't be so fierce."

"Daughter, of course I won't." Li Er shook his head hastily.When talking about his daughter, his expression softened involuntarily, and even the hard features on his face softened a lot.

As he spoke, he quickly looked at Su Ran. "When Brother Zhuang grows up, you can give me another daughter!"
