six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 55 Tomatoes
In Bei'aozi, there is a candle that looms in the darkness, adding a bit of mystery.

With a squeak, Su Xiao jumped up like a grasshopper, grabbed Su Liu's hand tightly, and asked nervously, "Sister, did you hear that?"

Su Liu was frightened by her surprise, and there was another creaking sound from the corner of the room, and she couldn't help laughing: "I heard it, it's just a mouse."

Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but that hand was still holding Su Liu's hand tightly, Dong Zhang hoped and panicked: "Sister, no, there won't be, there is that?"

Mrs. Chen avoided this the most. Hearing this, he felt his hair stand on end, and immediately scolded: "Xiao Xiao, don't talk nonsense at night."

Su Xiao flinched from being scolded, curled her lips aggrievedly.

Su Liu shook her head when she saw this, it was only the first night, no wonder she was afraid, even she herself was a little panicked, she had to divert their attention.

"Left and right are not sleepy yet, why don't we figure it out and go to town tomorrow to add something to the house?"

Su Xiao became interested when she heard this, and said, "Sister, do we still have money?" Even Mrs. Chen looked at Su Liu, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Su Liu smiled, and said: "You guys forgot, didn't you get two taels of silver today?" As he said that, he took out the silver that Old Master Su had given him, and took out all the leftovers and put them together.

"The money for this house has been paid off, and now we only have two to eight hundred dollars left, so we need to save some money." Su Liu counted and said to Chen Shi and the others.

When they went out of the house, apart from their own clothes, they didn't even bring out a single cabinet from the Su's house. In this room, some cabinets were worn out, but at least they could hold some things. There were really no other small objects.

"I need some rice noodles, bowls and chopsticks, although Zhao Lizheng also gave some, but it's not enough." Chen said first: "If possible, I can buy some needles and threads. Mother should buy some shoe soles and do some needlework. A few dollars."

"Mother, don't forget, we still have land behind our house. We need to buy a hoe and rapeseed seeds to grow vegetables. In this way, we are self-sufficient." Su Liu said with a smile.

Chen's eyes lit up when she heard that, peasant women are like this, busy in the vegetable field at home.

"Why don't we buy some chicks and raise them up so that we can have eggs to eat." Su Xiao also raised his opinion.

"I still have to buy some bedding. I see it's still cooler here."

"Ah."

The three mother and daughter laughed while talking, time passed unconsciously, and gradually felt sleepy, so they blew out the candle and lay down.

In the darkness, there was a wind blowing outside the window, Su Xiao and Su Liu leaned against Chen's side, but couldn't fall asleep again.

After being quiet for a while, only the pounding heartbeat could be heard, which was very penetrating. Su Xiao couldn't help it, and said, "Mother, please sing us a song."

Mrs. Chen was also a little apprehensive, so she hummed when she heard it, and hummed slowly. The song was Huangliang, with a slow tone and a little softness. It was like a lullaby. One day, they all fell asleep.

Everything was silent, and there seemed to be a vague sigh in the air, but no one noticed it.

When the first ray of sunlight came in through the window lattice, it just projected on Su Liu's face. She opened her eyes, sat up, and pushed open the east window. The big sunrise was hanging on the other side of the mountain. She looked around, The corner of his lips hooked.

Dawn, another new day.

After Su Liu got dressed, she looked for Mrs. Chen in the kitchen. The mother and daughter smiled at each other, and when they were ready for breakfast, Su Xiaocai rubbed his eyes slowly and got up.

"Little lazy bastard." Su Liu scratched her nose.

"You don't call me." Su Xiao pouted, sat at the table, picked up the porridge and drank it, and said with a smile: "Mother, sister, this place is not bad. Last night, there was nothing like that .”

Chen's face sank, and she first knocked her forehead reproachfully, then folded her hands together and bowed towards the air, muttering: "Miss Lu, there is nothing wrong with it, children talk nonsense, I will see you on New Year's Day." They will burn incense and offer you offerings."

After hearing this, Su Liu winked at Su Xiao, and Su Xiao stuck out her tongue.

After breakfast, I locked the door and went to town as planned.

There was only one way to the town, and they still had to cross the main road in Da'ao Village. When the three of Su and Liu entered the village, they immediately exploded.

"Didn't you say they lived in a haunted house? Are they people or ghosts now?"

"Did a ghost dare to come out in broad daylight?"

"Do you think they have seen a ghost?"

"Poor thing, the Su family went too far, and forced people into a haunted house."

Su Liu listened to these discussions and clicked his tongue, there are so many gossips!

There are even more gossips, such as this Aunt Lianhua.

"Oh, sister-in-law Su." Aunt Lianhua walked over quickly and called to Mrs. Chen: "I heard that you are living in a haunted house?"

Mrs. Chen smiled faintly, and said: "It's the room in Bei'aozi, and Mother Lianhua will come and sit there when she is free." After a pause, she continued: "By the way, Su Changsheng and I have reconciled, and she, Lianhua, Mother called me Su Liuniang or Chen Meizi because of it, otherwise, calling me Mei Niang also won."

Aunt Lianhua was taken aback when she heard this, and said a little embarrassedly, "Not all of them have the same name."

"Aunt Lianhua, you can't say that. After all, you have divorced. If you still call my mother, sister-in-law Su, people around will think that my mother is clinging to this surname and won't let it go. Isn't it just a matter of reason?" Su Liu smiled. He said: "Sister-in-law Su, now it's the Su family!"

"This girl's mouth is sharp." Aunt Lianhua chuckled twice, but she was too embarrassed to ask again.

If she doesn't ask, it doesn't mean others don't ask. Seeing Aunt Lianhua approaching, other aunts have already surrounded her, asking what's going on in that haunted house.

Regarding this, Su Liu also prepared a speech to teach Chen, saying: "This night, we also slept very well, and I am afraid that it was Lady Lu who accepted our offerings. They all said that we are the same people who have fallen in the end of the world, and we It's not that treacherous and evil person, if you think that Mrs. Lu has a spirit in heaven, she won't embarrass our three mothers."

As soon as Chen's words fell, the aunts began to discuss in a hurry.

"Isn't that the reason? They are all hard-working people."

"That's right, I met someone who betrayed my heart."

Su Liu couldn't stop laughing secretly when she heard this, people's sympathy is overflowing, the weak will always have more sympathy than the strong, so a weak woman is far more lovable than a strong woman like a man.

Thinking of her future plans, Su Liu rolled her eyes, pretending to be happy and innocently said: "Mother, maybe Mrs. Lu will always bless us to get through our hardships!"

It's immoral to use the dead, but she's just borrowing a name, and she will put two more sticks of incense on her later.

With today's words as a foreshadowing, they will live their lives in the future, and people will not feel particularly weird, they will naturally think that it is Lady Lu who is blessing them to make a fortune. Who told people here to be feudal and superstitious, and believe in gods and Buddhas more? !
"Hmph! Aunts, don't trust them. You will be safe and sound in the haunted house? Maybe they are already ghosts. Look at them, they look like ghosts, but be careful not to be harmed by ghosts."

At this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded from outside the crowd, very bitter.

Su Liu looked over, but it was Su Chuntao who looked at them unkindly, and she was carrying a basket in her hand, which contained a basket of pigweed, but the clothes on her...

Pfft, this was originally Su Xiao's business, but now it's Su Chuntao's job, but she went there in good clothes, the hem of the skirt was scratched quite a bit.

Su Liu was a little gloating. The two sisters were no longer in the Su family. According to Huang's temperament of favoring young girls, she would never be willing to ask Su Jinfeng to cut pigweed, so it could only fall on Su Chuntao.

When Su Chuntao's hands get rough, she will naturally know that when the three of them were in the Su family, the life of her and the Zhou family was a paradise on earth.

Su Liu was right, Huang would not be willing to let her daughter do such a job as cutting pigweed.So, I dug up Su Chuntao early in the morning and got up to do it, so Su Chuntao saw Su Liu and the others, and lit it like a firecracker.

Su Chuntao's words had some effect, someone took two steps back and looked at Su Liu and the others warily.

Su Liu sneered and said: "If I am a ghost, then all the aunts are ghosts, and so are you, Su Chuntao. Oh, ghosts still have shadows. Tell me, what kind of ghost are you? Are you a ghost? A ghost Do you have to mow pigweed?"

Everyone looked at Su Liu's fingers, Su Chuntao's shadow was dragging long in the sun, and looking at Su Liu and the others, it was the same.

Yes, if it is a ghost, how can there be a shadow?At this moment, hearing Su Liu talking about Yangui, and seeing Su Chuntao wearing a peach red dress to mow grass, they all giggled.

Su Chuntao resembles her mother, she always dresses up beautifully, and there is nothing wrong with her daughter's dressing up, but she can go to cut grass and dress like this, it is not beautiful, in the eyes of rural people, it is a waste of good clothes, and it is a waste of time!

Being teased by everyone and seeing the disdainful eyes around her, Su Chuntao blushed, stomped her feet, gave Su Liu a hard look, and ran away quickly.

"Go slower, I'll tell you to go back shamelessly." Su Xiao raised her hand at her back and snorted.

On the other hand, Su Liu's eyes narrowed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. They live in the same village, so such encounters will inevitably happen in the future, and there will be various provocations.

However, the water is covered by the earth, the soldiers are coming to block, and the life of the farm is too boring. Seeing them jumping and helpless in anger, it is life to find some such fun.

"Sister, your smile is so scary." Su Xiao tugged on Rasuliu's sleeve, her smile seemed to be planning something, and it penetrated tightly.

"Let's go." Su Liu restrained herself, she would let the Su family know in the future how ecstasy the word regret would be, and let them see that they couldn't get it, and they couldn't get it after asking for it.

"Fifty catties of rice and wheat noodles, soy sauce, oil and salt... the shopkeeper, can these be delivered?" Su Liu said to the shopkeeper of the grocery store with a smile: "We buy so much at a time, do you count?" It's cheaper."

"Oh, girl, this is the lowest price. Our Zhang Ji is innocent. Don't worry, it will be delivered to your home." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Generally, those who come to buy things, especially rice and noodles, buy them by the catty and catty. They never buy so much at one time. Su Liu can be regarded as a big customer.

However, Mrs. Chen pulled her aside and said in a low voice, "Liu'er, do we have enough money to buy so much at once?"

"Mother, don't worry, I know it well." Su Liu smiled and patted her hand.

Today's prices are not too high. According to one tael of silver and two stones of rice, it is nearly four hundred catties, and the fifty catties of rice is only less than one hundred yuan. If she didn't have to buy other things, she really wanted to buy two Stone is going back.

After picking out the missing items at the grocery store, handing over the money, and agreeing on the address, Su Liu and the others went to the next shop.

Because she wanted to buy seeds, Su Liu went to the Qingji grocery store where she bought peppers.
