delicious farm girl

Chapter 32 Another Mouth
The family does not cook during the New Year's Eve, they just heat up the food for the New Year's Eve.Although it was left overnight, the taste of the food was not as good as last night, but at any rate, it was steaming hot, with the first snow in the new year, and everyone ate happily.

After eating, I cleaned up the house. In the afternoon, the children in the village came to pay New Year's greetings to my husband.

Su Ran quickly took out the fruit and meat that he had prepared earlier to entertain everyone.

Along with the children are the families of the children.Among them are some young and beautiful girls.

After the girls entered the door, they naturally walked together with Su Ran to help her boil water and pour water.

Among them, Su Yun, the granddaughter of the village chief and the youngest daughter of the village chief's son Su Chengren, slowly slid up to Su Ran's side.While helping Su Ran pass the firewood, she whispered to Su Ran.While talking, the topic turned to Mr. Yuan: "Sister Ran, you have been married here for a while. Tiantian and Mr. Yuan have seen each other without looking up. You are very clear about Mr. Yuan's habits and so on. right?"

Hearing her question, Su Ran was slightly surprised.

Not because of anything else.But as early as when Mr. Yuan was living in the village, the village head considered picking one of his granddaughters to betroth to Mr. Yuan, but Mr. Yuan refused.In his words: "I'm a widow with no father and no mother, and I don't have much fame. A mere scholar can only exchange a little Lumi every month, which is not enough for me to eat. I will not harm you." She's a good girl from someone else's family."

Of course, the village chief disagreed. Who wouldn't want to catch such a young man with both talent and beauty?Later, if he goes to take the exam for juren or something, then his family will also ascend to heaven with chickens and dogs!
But no matter how much he persuaded and persuaded, and finally managed to get his most beautiful granddaughters to walk in front of him, Mr. Yuan was still not moved.Afterwards, there was no more text on this matter.In recent years, Mr. Yuan has been just like what he said, he has devoted himself to teaching and educating people in the village, and even if he has contact with them, he only has contact with the married daughters-in-law in the village.As time went on, people who had some ideas gradually stopped thinking about it.

If he really wanted to say, the only unmarried woman he had any contact with should be himself before he married Li Er.Even... If the girls here know that Mr. Yuan once thought about marrying him, what would they think?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Su Ran quickly pressed it down.She wasn't stupid enough to kill herself like this.

She just nods now. "Sir, he has very good living habits. He goes to bed early and wakes up early every day, and reads and writes when he is free. Other than those, his only hobby should be eating."

"Really? I happen to be learning how to cook now. My mother said that I did a good job. Then when I cook later, I will send it to my husband!" Su Yun said quickly.

Did she really think about it again?
Su Ran frowned when she heard this.

Over the years, the village head has not mentioned the idea of ​​marrying his granddaughter to Mr. Yuan for a long time.But what's going on now?Since Su Yun was able to speak out in front of her, it is conceivable that the village head must have agreed to this matter.That is to say, the village head began to have such thoughts in his heart again.What's going on here?

Su Ran thought so in her heart, she couldn't help whispering: "Mr. Yuan is several years older than you."

"So what? Li Er is as old as you, and you two are living a good life now?" Su Yun said.

Su Ran took a break.

To be honest, Li Er is really much older than her, he is seven years old!It's just that she couldn't care about that at that time. He only heard Mr. Yuan say that she had something to do with him, and he could help her out of the sea of ​​suffering.Compared with Mr. Yuan, who looks gentle but always gives people a feeling of being out of reach, she still feels that Li Er, who saved her once, made her feel closer, so she didn't know where she was at that time. She had the courage to propose to marry him on her own initiative.And Li Er, he actually agreed!
Now thinking about the situation at that time, Su Ran still felt like a dream.

But now, Su Ran felt that her original choice was right.Although Li Er was not very talkative, she always felt very comfortable with him.No amount of money can buy the peace of mind.

It's just Mr. Yuan... She still shook her head lightly. "Mr. Yuan is different from Li Er."

"Of course I know they are different. Mr. Yuan is about the same age as him, but he is full of knowledge and can write well. In my grandfather's words, he has written for decades, but his strokes are not as sharp as before. Not as calm as Mr. Yuan! A person like him will not stay in our Wushan Village for long. Sooner or later, he will fly out of our mountain nest and become a golden phoenix!" Su Yun said immediately.

The little girl's eyes were shining brightly, and her face was full of anticipation and happiness, as if she had seen Mr. Yuan's prosperity.

But even so, what does that have to do with her?Mr. Yuan seems to be a good-tempered person, but he is actually very persistent in his bones. As long as it is his own idea, then no one wants him to change it.It can be seen from the fact that he forced his brother An Geer to get up early to read and write every day years ago.

This man is not simple!

Su Ran almost wanted to continue persuading her.But seeing Su Yun's enthusiastic expression, she swallowed the words back.

Su Yun was still happy alone, and pestered Su Ran to ask a lot of questions about Mr. Yuan.Su Ran picked up some unimportant ones and answered her.

In the blink of an eye, Su Ran couldn't help but tell Li Er about it.

"What do you think the village chief and the others are going to do? I always feel that something is wrong when I bring up this matter again."

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, he won't change his mind." After hearing this, Li Er only said something coldly.

The one he was talking about was, of course, Mr. Yuan.

He thinks exactly as she does.This person has spent more time with Mr. Yuan and knows Mr. Yuan better.Since he has said so, it means that Mr. Yuan will definitely not get married.

Su Ran sighed lowly: "Actually, I don't want to care about it, but I'm afraid that Sister Yun and the others are serious. If this is the case, they might come to us on their own initiative. At that time, people will still have to be entertained by me." .”

Both Li Er and Mr. Yuan are men, so they must not entertain women.In this way, the matter finally fell on her head.

When Li Er heard this, he frowned. "I'll go talk to him tomorrow."

Su Ran nodded. "You'd better let him express his attitude, and don't give people any wrong thoughts. Otherwise, we will all be in the same village in the future, and it will be embarrassing for everyone to meet."

Li Er continued to nod.

After speaking, the two of them went to bed to rest.

It snowed in the middle of the night yesterday, and it snowed for most of the day this morning.Now, the snow has stopped, and the snow on the eaves outside is slowly melting and falling down tick-tock, making the room extraordinarily cold.

As soon as Su Ran got into the bed, she leaned towards Li Er again.

Li Er also hugged her without saying a word, his palm pressed against her chest.The man's body was pressed against her back, his hot breath sprayed on her face, and a deep voice came slowly: "Is it still the apron from last night?"

Su Ran's back froze, and her face flushed with shame.

"I'm tired," she whispered.

"Well, I'm just asking." Li Er whispered, and continued to hug her tightly. The two of them leaned their heads together, closed their eyes and fell asleep together.

The next day, the second day of the first lunar month, is the day when a married daughter returns to her natal home to pay New Year's greetings.

Mrs. Huang is now living in Su Ran's house. Su Ran and Li Er went to kowtow in front of Mrs. Huang early in the morning, as a New Year's greeting.

And because it's cold now, and Huang's body is very weak, if she can't go back to her mother's house by herself, then brothers An and Brother will go for her.

Huang's natal family is actually in the next town, about thirty miles away from Wushan Village.The brothers set out early in the morning and did not come back until dark at night.

When they came back, there was a little tail behind their buttocks.

It was a little girl, with a small face no bigger than a palm, wearing an old jacket that was so thin that there was no cotton in it. The jacket didn't belong to her at first glance, it was empty on her body, and even more so. She looked pitifully small.

As soon as Huang saw her, she quickly asked, "Sister Qiu, why are you here alone? Your father? Your mother? Why didn't they come?"

"My parents said that the road is too far, and my younger siblings are still young. They are afraid that the road will be cold, so they won't let them come. Big aunt, I'll just come here to pay New Year's greetings." Sister Qiu shook her little body Whisper.

Angie couldn't hold back anymore. "Mother, in fact, my aunt thinks that our family is poor, and they will not be able to eat a good meal when they come. We just refuse to come. We explained to her that now we live in my brother-in-law's house, and the family environment is not bad. At least we can eat enough now." Yes, but my aunt said, that's just right, their family can't eat enough to pay back, so they sent sister Qiu to our house to raise for a few days. When their family has surplus food, when will they take her back !"

Hearing this, sister Qiu fell to her knees with a plop. "Don't be angry, Auntie. I'm here to wish you New Year's greetings. I'll spend the night with you tonight, and I'll leave tomorrow morning!"

As Huang Shi listened, she couldn't help but hug this girl into her arms. "My poor sister Qiu, you are also a poor child!"

Su Ran saw it in her eyes, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Sister Qiu is indeed pitiful.She was born every two years, her mother passed away.For farmers, it is impossible to live without a woman, so my uncle married another daughter-in-law the next year.From the second year, my aunt gave birth to several children one after another.Of course, I love the child I gave birth to the most. As for my uncle is an honest man, and my aunt has a hot personality, she crushed my uncle to death as soon as I got married. The family has already been taken over by my aunt. dare not say.Under such circumstances, it is already very good that sister Qiu can grow up to her current age.

As for the relationship with Su Ran's family... From the moment Su Ran got married, and even her uncle and aunt didn't come over to give her the marriage, you can know how distant the relationship between the two parties is.If it wasn't for the fact that grandma was still alive, Brother An would not want to walk with her again.That aunt is really too snobbish!
"Since you're here, let's stay here for a few days!" Su Ran said softly.
