six-fingered peasant girl

Chapter 59
"You foodie." Su Liu saw it was funny, twisted a piece of meat and said, "Open your mouth."

Su Xiao immediately opened her mouth wide, bit the piece of meat that Su Liu handed over, chewed it, and said, "It's delicious. Sister, this meat is really delicious."

The braised pork has a strong taste, and the char siu is fragrant and sweet. If it is marinated with honey, the taste will be even better. The current char siew has only been marinated for half an hour, which is considered average.

"Go and wash your face quickly, don't block your sister's busy work." Seeing her, Chen said with a smile.

"Sister, I'll come back to help you light the fire later." Xiao Su ran out like an arrow.

Su Liu shook her head with a smile, and buried herself in her work.

"Hiss, it's hot." Xiao Su threw the steamed bun back into the steamer and blew on it.

"Who made you so anxious, who robbed you here?" Mrs. Chen blamed authentically, handed over the chopsticks, and said, "I see that you have moved out, and your temper has become more wild. You don't have the restraint of a daughter. You have to be more vigilant in the future."

Su Xiao stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly: "Mother, I'm hungry, who made sister's buns so delicious?"

Under the dim candlelight, the mother and daughter gathered around the table. In the middle of the table was a basket of freshly baked pork buns and a pot of porridge, which was their dinner tonight.

"Mother, don't scold her. You've been tired all day. You're already tired. Eat while it's hot." Su Liu put a pork bun into her bowl.

Chen smiled, picked up the bun and took a bite, chewing slowly and carefully.

"Mother, how are you doing?" Su Liu asked nervously.

"This bun?" Mrs. Chen was surprised, and said, "It's very soft after eating, and the meat is also fragrant. The meat juice still seeps into the bun. Well, it's delicious, and the making of this bun is also fresh."

"It's even more delicious than Zhang Ji's buns." While Chen Shi was speaking, Su Xiao had already finished eating one bun, and reached for the second one.

Su Liu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and picked up a steamed bun to taste it carefully. Perhaps the meat hadn't been marinated for so long, and the taste of the char siu pork was a little bit off, but it was still very close. If the flour was finer, it would be better. alright.

"It's a little bit worse. It seems that if we want to do it, we have to marinate the char siu pork a day in advance, otherwise the meat will not be fully flavored." Su Liu said while eating.

"How did Liu Er come up with this idea?"

Su Liu had already thought up her words, and said, "Mother, I've thought of it a long time ago, but when I was there, how could Grandma be willing to let me make this kind of buns?"

Chen shi paused for a moment and remained silent.

The Su family is also a mid-level family in Da'ao Village, but the Huang family has always been used to thrift. Even steamed buns are just big steamed buns, or coarse flour steamed buns. How could they be willing to use white flour to make meat buns?

Seeing that Chen's complexion was not very good, Su Liu changed the topic to what their stall was selling.

Since the barbecued pork buns are successfully made, they must be made, and dumplings can also be made, anyway, it is just a matter of rolling the skin.

To order products, set prices, and find suppliers, Su Liu's mind was in a mess, without a plan, and she felt that things were all piled up and messed up.

"If it's hot today, mother, don't go there at noon when you are plowing the field. Anyway, we are not in a hurry, and the vegetables won't be planted in a short while, so don't suffer from heat stroke." After the meal, The three of them spread out a cloth to enjoy the cool in the yard, and talked while looking at the starry sky, Su Liu reminded.

"Mother knows, speaking of it, it's been so many years, and this year is the time when I have the most free time." Chen Shi held a big sunflower fan and sighed while fanning the wind.

"No, at this time in previous years, my sister and I had to go to the fields, and we were exhausted." Xiao Su lay on Chen's lap, and when she thought of the Su family, she smiled and said, "Mother, sister, what do you say?" , without a few of our labors, what kind of chaos will it be over there?"

Chen and Su Liu looked at each other and smiled. Chaos is inevitable. During the busy farming season, three laborers were lost at once, and Su Chuntao and the others had to go to the fields.

They were not mistaken, the small courtyard of Su's family was so noisy, Su Chuntao touched his face and cried, Zhou's heart ached like something.

"Mother, Chuntao's face has been shaved, my daughter's family can't ruin her face, let her cook at home." Su Changsheng said irritably.

"It's just such a hole with big boogers, who is as delicate as her? Do you need a hundred people to cook? How much can your father and your brothers do?" Huang said with a sullen face: "Tomorrow, Both Chun Taoniang and Chun Taoniang will go to the field, and Jinfeng and I will be able to do the cooking."

"Mother." Su Chuntao cried even more sadly after hearing this.

In the past, the two sisters Su and Liu did such a job, so where would it be her turn?Now that they're gone, all the work falls on her, but in just two days, her hands are calloused, how can she be a young mistress?

The more Su Chuntao thought about it, the more sad she became, tears fell down.

Zhou also hated her in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, and said, "Mother, my daughter's face is delicate, and she will have to marry in the future, don't you think so?"

"In a farmer's family, which girl doesn't want to go to the field? Su Liu and Su Xiao didn't both go to the field in the past, so why can't Chuntao?" Huang looked at Su Chuntao, with displeasure flashing in her eyes.This girl has grown into a young lady, but she can't do it, if she doesn't do this, if she doesn't do that, do you want her to be an old lady?Doesn't that mean that the more you live, the more you go back?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Huang strengthened her mind and said, "Let's decide like this."

"Then why doesn't my little aunt do it?" Su Chuntao couldn't help but yelled.

"It's against you, ah, I dare to yell at you!" Seeing that Su Chuntao dared to refute, Huang's accumulated anger suddenly rushed up.

Ever since Su Liu stomped her finger, things in the Su family have been going on, and since Mrs. Chen made a fuss about getting divorced, Mrs. Huang was already furious.It was so easy to stop, the mother-in-law finally left the Su family, she waited for her to come back on her knees and begged for mercy, and waited to see how miserable she was, but she didn't know that Chen's life was more comfortable with the queen, so she was so annoyed that the corners of her mouth twitched There were a few blood blisters.

Huang is a traditional woman. In her eyes, a woman is born dependent on a man, and a woman without a man will live a very miserable life.So some women would rather die than their husband's family divorce themselves, because they know that once they lose their husbands, they will lose their way of life.

Mrs. Huang thought the same way, and she took it for granted that Mrs. Chen should do the same, but it was Mrs. Chen who asked for a reconciliation, wiped the face of their Su family, and reduced it to a big joke, so she waited for Mrs. Chen to cry begging for mercy.

But the fact is not the case. Not only did Mrs. Chen live in the haunted house unscathed, but she also took her money to buy so many things and lived comfortably.As for herself, she used to be a comfortable old lady and didn't have to do anything, but now because of the lack of three laborers in the family for the first time, she even has to be a director. How can she not be angry?
People are most afraid of comparisons, Huang doesn't want to admit it anymore, Chen is now a comfortable family of her own, she doesn't have to do farm work, she doesn't have to do this or that, but she wants to cook and feed pigs, can she balance it?

Therefore, Su Chuntao's rebuttal undoubtedly aroused the anger in Huang's heart.

Seeing Huang's anger, although Su Chuntao was a little scared, the soreness from her waist and rough hands made her feel unbalanced, and she said, "I'm not wrong, these two days, pigweed is I cut it, I have to feed the pigs, I have to wash clothes, and I have to go to the fields today, but my little aunt didn’t do anything, she just hid in the house and embroidered.”

"Why didn't I cook it? I didn't cook the food you ate?" Su Jinfeng was unhappy, and said, "I didn't wash the dishes? I even went to the field to weed."

"Yeah, I'll just do light things. I'll do the heavy work." Su Chuntao said indignantly, "Little aunt, you're a few years older than me. I'm sorry!"

This meant that Su Jinfeng was lazy, Su Jinfeng's face turned red immediately, and he looked at Su Changsheng: "Brother, you don't care about her, is there anyone who contradicts the elders like this? If you speak out, you won't be afraid of being drowned by spit. "

"Chuntao is also right, Jinfeng, you are almost seventeen, how can you be so lazy? You are going to get married soon, and it is not good to spread the reputation of being lazy." Su Changsheng's arm was pinched green by Zhou Shi , naturally dare not not protect his daughter.Moreover, he was also very dissatisfied with Huang's eccentricity, and he was not a real miss, but Su Jinfeng's demeanor was even worse than that of a miss, which was what he was most dissatisfied with.

Su Jinfeng didn't expect that her elder brother who always loved her would not help her this time, and her words were full of reproaches, her eyes turned red, she threw herself into Huang's arms and cried, "Mother, look at elder brother, he Bully me, woo woo."

Mrs. Huang was so angry that her forehead twitched a long time ago. Seeing that her precious old woman had been wronged, she immediately pointed at Su Changsheng and said, "Boss, are you fascinated by ghosts too? She is your sister, and if you don't protect her, you will still have to kill her." Cursed? If you have a daughter-in-law, you will forget your mother, will you not even want your old mother in the future?"

"Mom, I'm not wrong about her. You just raise her like this, and you don't do anything. Who would dare to want her? Even if you want to be a young mistress, you have to look at yourself." Su Changsheng thought in annoyance. Die, nothing will go well, and you have to be caught in the middle of this group of women to suffer.

After hearing this, Su Jinfeng cried even louder, saying repeatedly that she would not marry, and twisted her hair to become a sister-in-law.

Huang yelled and coaxed, looked up and saw Su Chuntao's proud expression, couldn't help being furious, and shouted: "Changsheng, don't apologize to your sister, if something happens to her, I can't spare you."

Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth in anger. This sister-in-law is lazy and greedy for petty gains, and she only wants to climb high branches. The old woman is still protective, raising her like a canary bird. She treats their mother and daughter like donkeys. It is really annoying .

Gently pinched Su Chuntao, turned her body slightly to block the sight of Huang's mother and daughter, and she called: "Father, look at Chuntao, this little pale face, is he tired and sick? Ouch, My peach, my mother's heart, why did you get sick?"

Seeing the opportunity, Su Chuntao tilted her body quickly and said, "Mother, I feel dizzy, and my heart feels so bad."

"Father, take a quick look at Tao." Mrs. Zhou called exaggeratedly.

"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Su Changsheng didn't understand, so he hurried to support Su Chuntao.

Su Jinfeng stopped crying, and exchanged a glance with Huang Shi, both of them craned their necks to look over.

"I'm afraid it's heatstroke. Look at this little blushing boy. My poor son. I haven't done much work since I was a child. I can't stand being crushed on you all of a sudden." Zhou's voice was a little crying. , Said: "If your grandfather finds out, won't you be so heartbroken?"

Mrs. Huang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Su Chuntao's grandfather was Su Changsheng's father-in-law, and also his parents. If this angered shopkeeper Zhou and stopped Su Changsheng from being a manager, where would the money come from?
Although Su Fusheng also had part-time jobs, Su Changsheng still paid a lot of money. If he couldn't do small stewardship, he would have no money.

What Zhou said was actually implying that she should not go too far. After thinking about this, Huang immediately became unhappy.

This daughter-in-law is too shrewd, far less easy to control than Chen's. If not, she threatened herself and used her father to suppress herself.

But Huang didn't dare to tear herself apart with her. After all, Fusheng married a wife, and Jinfeng wanted to marry someone. They all needed money, and they still had to rely on Su Changsheng's wages.
