pastoral wedding

Chapter 3
Hearing him mention this, Liu Shi was about to get mad.

"It's okay if you don't say it. Once you bring this up, let's talk about it. Tell me, are you the eldest son of your family? Since the family said they were going to separate, shouldn't you get the ancestral property? Back then Why do we still have such a shop in our family, if we have to give the house to the second family, that’s okay, anyway, my aunt doesn’t care about living in Liushu Village, so I will give it if I give it to you, but you said it’s something from the Han family. I have fished for a year? Every time you go back, you are worth a lot of money, wishing you could take out all your wealth and give it to your mother, but your mother gave it to the little Lu family after changing hands. Look at us What did you bring with you when you came back? Just a few eggs, a few feet of scraps of cloth, looking at me, Liu Qingcui, is a beggar!"

Su Wenshan also had a face of helplessness when he mentioned this matter, his mother was also a bit biased, but as a son, he would not talk about his mother's faults, so naturally it was difficult to say anything, he could only coax Qing Cui to let her bear it.

"Good Qingcui, I know my mother sometimes overdos things, you are a big lady, don't worry about it with her as an old man." Su Wenshan's mouth is clumsy, but those words are often coaxed and he said it smoothly, "Look You are so well-dressed today. I, Su Wenshan, have been lucky enough to marry such a good wife like you. I am wrong today. You can keep this material if you like it, and make some new ones for the new year. clothes to wear."

Mrs. Liu often hears these words, but every time she hears it, she can't help but blush. Now she blushes and 'spits' at him, then turns around and goes back to her own room. followed in.

Su Jin, who was listening in the corner outside the room, covered her mouth and laughed secretly. My father always said these words, and so did my mother. Why did I just surrender after hearing these words.

After thinking about it, he went into the elder sister's room and told her what he had heard, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, look at father and mother, this is how to live. What does it matter if you are poor? The most important thing is to live happily, even if you are married. When you come to a rich family, what's the fun in being rich?"

When Su Tang heard the words, she took a look and continued to do the embroidery work in her hand. She was making shoe uppers for Su Shuang. Except for the mother, the two younger sisters in the family could not embroider. She is lazy and doesn't like to do it, and she doesn't want to let her do more, she would rather spend some money to buy it outside, but there is no place to buy it outside that is comfortable to wear, so she makes all the shoes in the family.

Seeing that she ignored her, Su Jin leaned closer to her again, and said in a low voice: "Elder sister, what do you think of Brother Chen?"

This time Su Tang was no longer silent. Instead, he reached out and twisted her mouth with a blushing face, and scolded her, "You little girl, why do you think about all these things all day long? You can say as much as you like." Go tell my mother, don't talk to me, I don't like to hear it." Although she moved her hand, it was very gentle, Su Jin was thick-skinned, still smiling.

"Elder sister, I'm serious, Brother Chen is really good, but the population of this family is a bit more complex, not like ours, and you are a planless person, if you really want to marry, you will definitely suffer."

Now Su Tang smiled, and simply put down the needle and thread in his hand, "I know these things."

"Really?" Su Jin asked again uncertainly. This is not a joke. Although the Han family has a great career, although they owe their own kindness, it is only Mr. Han. I heard that Brother Chen's mother, Mrs. Han It is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Su Tang smiled and stretched out his slender fingers to tap her forehead, pursed his lips, "Okay, it's getting late, you go to the front to replace Shuang'er, and let her cook for me."

Su Jin looked up at the sky outside, saw that it was really late, so she agreed, skipped to the front shop to replace the second sister, and came back, guarding the shop by herself.

It was freezing cold, and although it was almost noon, there were still not many people buying buns.

When Su Jin was sighing that there might be leftovers of the steamed stuffed buns today, she heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the end of Ping'an Street. There should be as many as five or six horses.

Su Jin became curious, so she poked her head out on tiptoe to look, and saw a young man riding a horse towards this side surrounded by four tall and burly men. The young man was about the same age as Han Chen, The pair of eyes were extremely sharp, and he had already seen her, but he didn't pay attention, and led her past.

Just wondering what these people do, she saw the sound of horseshoes behind them, but there were more than a dozen people who looked like officials, searching everywhere while walking, Su Jin quickly squatted down, thinking that the boy in front brought There must be something wrong with those few people, otherwise why would they have recruited officers and soldiers, so they were careful not to speak out.

After a long while, after making sure everyone was gone, Su Jin came out from behind the counter with a small head, but as soon as she came out, she met a big face, she was taken aback, she quickly took a step back, covered her mouth, and opened her eyes. Looking again with wide eyes, it was a bearded uncle. Seeing that she was flustered but silent, the uncle couldn't help but nodded secretly, and said, "Give me fifty buns, and pack ten in a pack." It’s all stuffed with meat.” After he hesitated, he asked again, “Do you have any wine here?”

Su Jin's round eyes rolled, and she brought him oiled paper-wrapped buns, and said, "Meat buns cost four fen apiece, and fifty are two tang. If you give me a jug of wine, I’ll even sell you the jug for two taels of money.”

The man was startled, apparently he didn't expect Su Jin to be so quick at counting. After being stunned, he threw four slings of money on the counter. Su Jin bent his lower lip and handed him the wrapped buns and jug together. , the bearded man turned around and walked into an alley with his things in his arms, but there was no one there.

Su Jin put away the four pennies on the counter, thinking that she bought the jug of wine just now for her father, the jug was her own, and the wine only cost a dozen cents, but she received two pennies, which is two hundred Wen Qian, but the bearded man gave her money without hesitation. There are only two possibilities. One is that the person does not understand the market, which is naturally impossible; the other is that he is in a hurry, or it is not convenient to go to the restaurant to buy?Thinking of this, a flash of light suddenly appeared in her mind, this person seemed to be one of the four people who followed the young man, he bought fifty buns, and they were just five people!

Thinking of this, Su Jinsheng was afraid that her family would cause trouble again, so she hurried back to the backyard and called her father out, saying that she had just sold fifty buns, and there were not many left here, or close the door Bar?Su Wenshan nodded when he heard the words. He knew that it was snowing today, so he didn't make much, not to mention that it was very cold outside, even if he made it again, he would not be able to sell a few. There was a fire in the stove, so I simply closed the door and let it go.

Thinking about it, he went to lock the door, and after finishing his work, he went to look for his pot of wine. Naturally, he couldn't find it, so he asked Su Jin suspiciously, "Girl, where is Dad's pot of wine? It's the one you made yesterday." ?”

"That jug of wine?" Su Jin hurriedly found an excuse, "Oh, I woke up early and wanted to hide it for you, but I slipped accidentally and even smashed the jug, Dad ,sorry."

Su Wenshan was helpless when he heard the words, "You girl, be careful, the snowy road outside is very slippery, so you have to be careful when walking." Then he turned his head and looked at the backyard, seeing no one came out, he whispered: "How about Do you want to make another pot for dad?"

Su Jin covered her mouth and started laughing. Dad loves to drink, but his mother doesn't allow him to drink, but he is very greedy. If he doesn't drink a few sips a day, he will feel exhausted. Buy a new flagon."

"Okay, let's buy another one. This is fifty renminbi. You can take it. Thirty renminbi is wine money, fifteen renminbi is wine money, and the remaining five renminbi will buy you candy."

Su Wenshan took out fifty Wen coins from his pocket, and carefully handed them over to his daughter.

Su Jin took it over with a grin, and said angrily, "Father, I'm not a child anymore. Even if I have pocket money, I still buy makeup powder. Who cares about buying candy? I won't be able to get it by myself." , it sweetens your mouth, Daddy." Daddy loves candy, like a child, he and brother Shuo ate most of the candy in the house, and now he's talking about her.

Su Wenshan laughed when he heard the words, looked at the back of Su Jin going out, and sighed, "This girl is so weird, I don't know who she followed."

The restaurant is in an alley behind Ping'an Street, and Su Jin often goes there, so those who are familiar with the place get a drink and come back. When they pass by a grocery store, they think it's better to buy a few candies, so they go When I walked in, I saw sweet-scented osmanthus sauce for sale, so I asked, knowing that it was not very expensive, so I bought a small jar, and after thinking about it, I bought some red beans. Naturally, five renminbi was not enough. Su Jin still used that to buy sugar, and the money to buy sweet-scented osmanthus sauce and red beans naturally came from the two pennies for selling wine.

After returning home, lunch was already ready, and the whole family was waiting for her to eat, only Mrs. Liu was still in the house.Seeing her coming in with a jug, Su Wenshan hurriedly took it, and just after hiding it, Liu Shi came out, looked at Su Jin and complained: "You girl, where are you going crazy again, you don't go home after eating. "

Su Jin smiled, and showed off the two packages in her hand, "I bought sweet-scented osmanthus sauce and red beans, mother, let's make bean buns in the afternoon."

"Bean buns?" Liu was surprised, "What kind of bean buns?"

Are there no bean buns here?Su Jin thought about it, and wondered that she hadn't eaten it in the past ten years, and said: "It's just bean buns. If you don't know how to make them, I will. I will make them for you to eat in the afternoon."

The family members were naturally skeptical, even Brother Shuo looked in disbelief, but no one thought of asking her where the money for the shopping came from.Su Jin ignored them, went out to buy fabrics in the morning, and saw that the shop was also going to buy wine. She was already hungry, so it was important to eat quickly.
