delicious farm girl

Chapter 3 He Sent Home

Li Er pushed the cart and delivered firewood to several families in the town one by one, and Su Ran followed behind him step by step.

After delivering a cart of firewood, Li Er pushed the empty cart to the grain store in the town.

The clerk in the shop saw him and greeted him loudly: "Brother Dumb, are you here again? It's still the old rule, isn't it ten catties of fine noodles?"

Li Er nodded, and took out a handful of broken copper coins from his pocket and handed them over.

The clerk weighed ten catties of fine flour with his hands and feet and brought it out for him to put on the car.After putting the things away, the clerk looked up and saw Su Ran standing behind him. He smiled immediately: "Oh, dumb brother, you married a wife? The little daughter-in-law looks quite fresh, and you will be blessed for the rest of your life! That's... ... In such a cold day, you don't want to tear a piece of cloth to make a new padded jacket for her? Look at your little daughter-in-law! "

Su Ran was taken aback, and just as he realized that he wanted to explain, he saw Li Er had already pushed the car and turned to leave.

Su Ran quickly swallowed the words that came to her lips, then turned around and trotted to keep up with him.

After tossing back and forth in the town for a long time, by the time the two of them left the city gate, it was already dark.

Night Breeze roared and howled, almost sweeping everyone away.The cold snow particles have also turned into pieces of snowflakes, blown by the wind and drifting down, forming a thick layer on the ground.

Su Ran was so cold that she didn't feel any sensation on her body, she just walked forward with Li Er numbly.

Li Er is a tall man, one step is almost equal to her three steps.At first, Su Ran could trot to keep up with him, but now she was cold and hungry, and being blown by the wind, her body was already moving around, her legs seemed to be wrapped in muddy water under her feet, and she couldn't lift it for a long time stand up.Before she knew it, she was thrown far away by Li Erlian in a car.

At this time, Li Er in front suddenly stopped again.He turned back to look at Su Ran, his deep eyes made Su Ran's heart skip a beat.

She hastened her pace quickly: "Second Brother Li, I'm sorry, I'll leave now."

After finally catching up with him, she heard Li Er say again: "Come up."

Huh?Su Ran raised her head and saw that his hand was pointing at the car that only contained ten catties of fine noodles.

Su Ran quickly waved her hand: "No need! I can catch up with you, you go ahead, don't worry about me."

Li Er glanced at her, stretched out his thick arm, held her arm in one hand, and lifted her into the car.Casually stuffing the ten catties of fine noodles into her arms, he picked up the felt cloth covering the fine noodles and covered her knees.

"Sit down," he said again.

Su Ran only felt that her feet were light, and when she realized it, she was already sitting in the car.Hearing Li Er's words again, she quickly nodded obediently, hugged the ten catties of fine noodles in her arms, and sat down firmly.

Li Er pushed the cart again, and his steps were much faster than before.

Only then did Su Ran know that he had deliberately slowed down and waited for her just now.I also blame myself for not being up to date, that way I can't catch up with him, so now he has to push himself back.

However, she did feel much lighter not having to walk on her own.The knees and feet were covered with felt cloth, even if they were hit by the wind and snow again, it would not be as cold as before.

The car moved forward steadily, and Su Ran quietly looked back at the man pushing the cart.He still had such an expressionless face, his rough hands tightly gripped the handlebars, and he pushed the car on the muddy road so easily as if he didn't have much effort.

Being watched by her, he didn't seem to notice, his eyes were staring straight ahead, and his steps were steady and powerful.

Su Ran slowly came back to her senses, and continued to tightly hold the ten jin of fine noodles in her arms with both hands.

In the silent night, with heavy snow falling in the sky, only the sound of creaking footsteps could be heard in her ears, but Su Ran never felt that there was any sound that made her feel more at ease than this.

On the way back to the village, because of Li Er, they arrived in less than half an hour.

Moreover, although Li Er didn't speak, he sent her directly to the door of the house.When the car stopped outside the fence gate of his own house, Su Ran quickly jumped down: "Thank you."

Li Er still didn't say a word, he pushed the cart and headed towards the private school again.

Su Ran stared blankly at his generous back for a long time, until his figure was swallowed by darkness and snow, she slowly turned around.Then she discovered something - she had been holding the ten catties of fine noodles, and she forgot to put it down when she got off the car!

This is how to do?A big girl's family can't run to a man's house at night.Then I can only send it to them tomorrow.

Su Ran thought for a while, then slowly turned around and walked into her yard with the thin noodles in her arms.

After walking a few steps forward, she heard her mother's familiar coughing, and the voices of Quan Ge'er and An Ge'er reciting books one after another.

"Mother, look, I've memorized this one!" After memorizing, Brother Quan immediately announced happily.

Brother An also said loudly: "I've memorized it too! Tomorrow, my brother and I will recite it to my husband. The husband said that as long as he is the first one to finish memorizing the book every time, he will save us half of the fee." Shu Xiu! In this way, my sister won't have to work so hard!"

"By the way, I don't know how my sister is doing now? If I go to town today, my aunt will definitely ask her to work again. The eldest sister is as big as her, and she still wants to order her around like a girl. They don't want Face!" Brother Quan couldn't help but whispered again.

Huang coughed a few times. "Don't talk nonsense. Now, they have done our family a big favor."

"Whether it's really helpful or not is another matter! Auntie is always a person who is not profitable. She won't do things that are not beneficial to her." An Geer also whispered.Then he added silently, "So I'm still worried about my sister."

"Actually, why am I not worried? But this matter was discussed with my eldest sister, and she herself agreed to me before I asked her to go. Now, everything depends on her luck." Huang also said quietly. sighed.

Listening to what her mother and brothers said, Su Ran lowered her head and sniffed, then hurriedly went to the kitchen and put down ten catties of fine noodles.

The kitchen door was also very old.There was a creaking sound as soon as it was pushed away. Brother Quan and Brother An in the room heard it, and the two children ran out quickly.

When they saw Su Ran appearing in front of them, they were both surprised and happy. "Sister, you are back!"

The two brothers ran over quickly, holding Su Ran's hand from left to right. "Mom, my sister is back!"

Seeing Su Ran came back, Huang was also surprised. "Eldest sister, why are you back at this time? It's snowing outside, are you freezing? Quick, take off your clothes and come to bed, mother will warm you up."

Su Ran obediently took off her clothes and shoes and climbed onto the bed, Huang quickly hugged her in her arms.

Hugging her cold body, Huang's heart ached. "My poor child, why did you freeze like this? By the way, why didn't you spend the night at your uncle's house tonight? Or... the Chen family's business didn't work out?"

Su Ran lowered her head. "It's not Young Master Chen."

"No?" Huang was shocked, "Who is that?"

"Master Chen."

"Master Chen?!" As soon as the words came out, not only the Huang family, but also Brother Quan and Brother An cried out in a low voice.

"Master Chen is so old! And I remember he has a wife! There are several concubines around him!"

Su Ran stopped talking.

The whole brother jumped up. "Could it be that my aunt is planning to let you be a concubine for Mr. Chen?"

Su Ran nodded.

"The one who killed a thousand swords!" An Ge'er was so angry that he jumped to run outside.

Huang grabbed him. "Where are you going?"

"I'll go to the kitchen and kill that wicked woman with a knife!"

"Come back to me!" Brother Quan hurried to pull him back, "It's so late now, you run to the town, let's not talk about whether you can go in. Let's just say that you really arrived at the uncle's house, just rely on You have small arms and legs, are you sure you can kill my aunt? Even if she was killed, do you think it is worth paying for such a person? My mother and sister have worked so hard to raise us up. It's not to make you lose your life just because of this!"

When An Geer heard this, he finally stopped struggling.He sniffed, and suddenly lowered his head and covered his face and sobbed: "But they bullied my sister! They are so shameless!"

Both Brother Quan and Mrs. Huang were too sad to speak.

After a long time, Brother Quan said: "My sister is freezing, I will pick up two pieces of carbon and put it in the basin."

"But the carbon at home is not much..." An Geer whispered.

"When the charcoal is gone, we can chop firewood and burn it again. What if my sister is frozen?" Brother Quan retorted.

Angle understood immediately, and hurried to the kitchen to pick up two pieces of charcoal and put them in the brazier.

With two more pieces of carbon, the fire in the brazier was ignited immediately, and the thatched cottage was much warmer.

Leaning in her mother's arms, Su Ran slowly said again: "Actually, I knew a long time ago that it couldn't be Mr. Chen."

Huang was taken aback. "You already knew?"

Su Ran nodded. "Actually, it's okay to be a concubine for Mr. Chen. At least I can earn some food for the family. But Mr. Chen... he likes little girls, so I can't follow him."

"Oh my God!"

Hearing her say these words, the three of Huang's mother and son gasped again.

"Wang Shi, who killed a thousand swords, she will die!" An Ge'er cursed loudly, and quickly hugged Su Ran's foot and put it in his arms, "Sister, I'm sorry, it's all because of us that I hurt you!" I was almost defiled by that beast. I have nothing to repay you now, I can only warm your feet."

Brother Quan also picked up her other foot and put it in his arms.

Being so warmed by her mother and younger brother, Su Ran's spirit gradually improved.She whispered again: "I was able to escape today, thanks to Brother Li. He was also the one who sent me back tonight."

"Is it the second brother Li who is next to you?" Brother Quan asked hurriedly.

Su Ran nodded.

"Then we're going to thank him well tomorrow!" Brother Quan said hastily.

"I'll go with you." Su Ran said softly.

By the way, she wanted to return the ten catties of fine noodles to him.
