Steamed buns, go farming with your mother

Chapter 18
Su Ho watched everyone's reactions with satisfaction. She knew that her words had an effect, and the effect was better than expected.

Su Ho turned around, faced Wang Tao, and said, "Third Grandfather, you are the most respected person in our treading water port. I hope you can give us an explanation for today's matter. Listen to you!"

People outside the yard had already squeezed into Wang Song's house, someone lit a torch, and under the light of the torch, the yard was brightly illuminated.The light of the torch shone on Su Ho's body, making her shadow dragged on the ground to reach Wang Tao's feet.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Wang Tao felt that his 70-plus years had been spent in vain, but he was blindfolded by a girl in her teens. From the beginning to the end, he didn't see that this girl was from this group of people. One of the most powerful of them all.He sighed, feeling that he was really too old.

Wang Tao glanced at Wang Song again, seeing Wang Song's pale complexion under the fiery red light, shaking his head in his heart, thinking that if he could have persuaded Wang Song more at the beginning, maybe the matter would not have reached the level it is today , I blame myself. I usually see Wang Song's filial piety to me, so I don't mention it much.

He wanted to speak for Wang Song, but seeing the excited faces of the villagers, he finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.He shook his hand, and the shouting voice of the villagers gradually died down. Pairs of well-trained eyes looked at Wang Tao with hope.

"Three days later, at the threshing ground in the village, a new village head will be selected. Now, it's getting late, let's all go!" Hearing Wang Tao's words, the discussion among the villagers who had just stopped rang out again.

Su Ho bowed to Wang Tao, supported Mrs. Wang, led the sheep, and went home.

When I got home, it was already the end of Xu time (about eight or nine o'clock now).The two mothers hadn't eaten since noon, and their stomachs were already growling with hunger.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly lit the fire to cook, while Su He squeezed a bowl of goat milk and fed it to the leeks.

It was strange to say that he hadn't eaten anything all afternoon. Logically speaking, Leek should have made a fuss, but all afternoon, Leek stayed obediently in Mrs. Wang's arms, neither screaming nor crying.If it wasn't for the fact that Leek had cried and made noises before, I'm afraid Suho would have to worry about whether Leek's voice is hoarse again.
.Su Ho finished feeding Chive, kissed Chive's little cheek, and said softly: "Chive, mother's sweet baby, you know how to love your mother at such a young age!"

This time, Mrs. Wang came in with bowls and chopsticks. Su Ho put the leeks on the bed and said, "Mother, I'll help!"

Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, Su Ho brought the dishes into the house, it was a bowl of stewed beans and a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks.Su He's family didn't have any chickens, and Mrs. Wang bought this egg when she went to the market last time, and planned to keep it for Su He to supplement his health.

Wang put down the bowl and chopsticks, turned around and went to the yard again, and brought in a pot of porridge. Su Ho saw that the porridge was thicker than usual.

Mrs. Wang filled up the porridge and handed it to Su Ho. Su Ho was not polite, and just took the food and ate it in small bites.

Under the light, Soho looks so soft and elegant.This is the only lamp in Soho's house.

Looking at Su Ho, who was eating deliciously, Mrs. Wang put on a kind smile on the corner of her mouth, and lowered her head to eat.The two did not speak, but something called warmth spread in this small hut.

After eating, the two worked together to clean up. Mrs. Wang went back to the house with leeks in her arms. They both washed and fell asleep!
The two people here had a good night's dream, but there was someone who couldn't sleep.

Wang Song kept walking back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Sitting on the bed, Mrs. Hu looked at Wang Song who was circling in the room. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

Suddenly, Wang Song stood still in front of Mrs. Hu, looked at Mrs. Hu, and said, "Tell me, why did I fall into the hands of those two young girls?"

Hu didn't speak, and after living together for so long, she still understood Wang Song's temper. She knew that Wang Song didn't want to get an answer from her.

Sure enough, after Wang Song finished saying this, he continued to circle around the room, muttering in his mouth: "No, I can't just admit defeat like this. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to the town and let Chen Quanwen think about it for me." Method!"

When Mrs. Hu felt that she was going to faint, Wang Song finally stopped, looked at Mrs. Hu and said, "Daughter-in-law, I can no longer be the village head. I'm afraid you will suffer with me in the future!"

Mrs. Hu shook her head and said softly: "It's okay, I didn't marry you to be your village head. You are still young, and I can live a good life if I don't become the village head with your intelligence!"

Her big watery eyes were full of tenderness, as if they could drip water.Looking at Hu's gentle eyes, Wang Song suddenly felt that the troubles in his heart disappeared without a trace, he turned around, took off his coat, blew out the candle, hugged Hu, and said softly: "Sleep! "

In the past, the village has long been quiet and fell into sleep, but today there are still dots of lights, because of today's events, tonight's tread water port is destined to be not quiet.

Su He and his mother stirred up trouble, but stayed out of it. They are probably the sleepiest family in the village.

The next day, Su Ho got up at the first chirp of the birds as usual, washed up, fed the sheep as usual, and when the first rays of the sun reflected the red mountain top, he took the hog grass knife and raised his hand. With a bamboo basket, he went out and went up to Wangjialing.

I've walked a few times, and I'm used to the journey. Compared with the first time, Su Ho has saved a lot of time from home to Wangjialing, and the use of the hogweed knife has become more and more smooth.

Mrs. Wang didn't get up until Su Ho returned home after clearing the grass.

Su Ho entered the courtyard gate, saw Mrs. Wang washing her face in the courtyard, and said, "Mother, you're up, it's still early, why don't you sleep more?"

Wang smiled and said: "After so many years, I've already gotten used to it! Besides, you've already woken up, so it's outrageous for me to go back to sleep."

"What's so outrageous? Look, who in this village is a mother-in-law who can't sleep well after her daughter-in-law wakes up, and you are the only one who loves me and doesn't want me to work more!"

"Stupid child, there are only two of us in the house, and the house is barren, how can I let you suffer all this alone." After speaking, Wang smiled bitterly: "He'er, I'm just a useless old woman!"

"Mother, how can you say such a thing? Everyone will go through the process from birth to death, from childhood to old age. In the future, I will be as old as you. Do you think leeks will despise me?"

"He dares!"

"That's the reason, mother, I won't despise you!" While comforting Wang, Su Ho quickly put down the basket, sat down in front of the stove, and quickly lit a fire. When she regained her senses, she quickly put the cornflour into the pot again, preparing to cook polenta.

Seeing Wang's slightly comforting expression, Su Ho didn't want her to continue to immerse herself in the past, so she changed the subject and said, "Mother, in our village, who will be the village chief?"

Mrs. Wang thought for a while when she heard Su He's question, and said, "In our village, the surname Wang is the common surname, accounting for one-third of the residents in the village. The third uncle is the oldest and has the most experience, but he is already old. Wang Bai is the most prestigious member of the Wang family; the remaining two-thirds of the villagers have mixed surnames, and among them, your uncle Pan Ming and you and Wu Sangou, the younger brother of the Wu family, have the highest prestige. Your uncle Pan is an upright person. Fairness speaks of loyalty, while Wu Sangou is smart, quick-witted and has his own ideas, it is difficult to distinguish between the two!"

"Mother, you mean that the village chief should be born among the three of them?" Su Ho looked at Wang and asked.

"If Mother's guess is right, it should be one of the three of them." Wang sighed slightly.

Su Ho didn't seem to hear Wang's sigh, and continued to ask: "Mother, how can you be so clear?"

Mrs. Wang looked at Su He, with a look of remembrance, and said softly, "Because nine years ago, your father-in-law was the village chief of our village!" Slowly, an expression called happiness appeared on his face.

Su Ho didn't bother Mrs. Wang, she reduced the firewood in the stove to the minimum, and let the pot of corn porridge simmer slowly, but she went into the room of the past, and saw at a glance that the wine and vegetables had woken up, she put the leeks Picking it up, he touched Leek's butt skillfully, and found that Leek had wetted the bed.

Su Ho had never encountered such a situation, and she was at a loss for a while, so she had to ask Mrs. Wang to come in.

When Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, she heard Su Ho calling her in the house, and when she entered the room, she saw Leek lying on Su Ho's lap, wearing a small single dress, and shouted in fright: "He'er, hurry up!" Wrap the leek first, so as not to catch cold!"

"But, the diaper is wet! Your bed is wet, too!"

Mrs. Wang stepped forward, picked up the leeks, and said, "The child can't be left like this, he is still young, so it will be uncomfortable if left like this!"

She quickly took out the wet diaper with leek and put it aside, then took a clean one and put it on the leek.Su Ho saw that he couldn't help here, so he asked: "Mother, the bed is also wet, what should I do, take it off and wash it?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "Just let it dry."

Su Ho let out an oh, got up and went to milk the leeks.She knew that it would be nice for a poor family to have a pair of single sheets, and she couldn't expect to have a change of clothes at all. Besides, babies can't eat anything other than milk, so the urine doesn't have any peculiar smell. It's over.

After feeding the leeks, the porridge was ready, and after the two of them had breakfast, Su Ho proposed to go to the town.At first, Mrs. Wang disagreed, saying that it was not a day to go to the market, and going to the town would be a waste of time.Su He talked all kinds of things, and finally moved out the boss Zhou of Graceland Restaurant, and Wang finally agreed.

So, after four days, Su Ho once again embarked on a trip to Qingmu Town.
