The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 36
On the [-]th day, it is the day to give gifts to each family. The ones that Su Ling’s family will send out are the grandparent’s house and the old house. The grandparent’s house has already been sent to them. As for the old house, Father Su plans to give the family gifts today. In the past, it was a reunion day anyway, so the whole family went to have a look.

In the old house.

"Mother, do you know? I heard that my second sister-in-law's family opened a dim sum shop in the town. The mooncakes sold so hot yesterday that they cost 12 taels of silver a box! I just don't know if the 12 taels I gave you today are the same. Two boxes of mooncakes, so that we can also taste the sky-high price of mooncakes." Su Ling's fifth aunt, Feng Shi, said with excitement, as if the mooncakes belonged to her family.

"It's just that you have a lot of things to do, and the fifth child is back today, why don't you prepare the meals well." Grandma Su Liang scolded, but in fact, she was also looking forward to the mooncakes.

Grandpa Su was sitting in the lobby, smoking a dry pipe, and blowing out white smoke from time to time. The smoke was so lingering that people couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"Father and Mother, we are here." Father Su and Father Su shouted.

"Master, grandma." The three Su Ling siblings also greeted.

"En." Liang Shi just responded and stopped talking.

Grandpa Su only nodded slightly.

Su's father was holding a bunch of pork and two mooncakes in his hand, "Father and mother, we are here as a festival gift." He said and handed over the meat and mooncakes, and took two packets of mooncakes from his pocket. The money was also handed over.

When Mrs. Liang saw that the mooncakes were sealed with oiled paper and not in a box as Mrs. Feng said, she was unhappy, and she didn't accept the money that Father Su handed over, but just looked at Father Su fixedly.

Su's father was stared at terribly, but he didn't know why.I had to put money, moon cakes and meat on the table.

Mrs. Feng happened to come in over there and saw the mooncakes Father Su put on the table, so she couldn't help but said, "Yo, I heard that the second brother's family opened a shop in the town, and they sold mooncakes at astronomical prices. Is this how it was delivered?" He said and glanced at the mooncakes on the table with disgust.

How could Father Su have been ridiculed like this before? This gift was discussed with the child's mother, and the gift from the two father-in-law's mother-in-law was the same. He didn't think there was anything wrong with this gift. It was not so good in previous years!

"Her fifth aunt, you actually said that it is for sale, and it is sold, and the one I brought is not bad." Su's mother couldn't help but retort, the store has just opened, and it hasn't paid back the money yet. There are so many silver gifts, if there is, she wants to give more!Why bother to be ridiculed by them again.

"It's not bad, but compared to the boxed ones, I will always pick the cheap ones for my parents. It's better to keep food at home!" Feng continued to mock.

Grandma Su over there wasn't that angry at first, but one day Feng Shi said that, she couldn't help but said: "Second, this is how you treat your parents, God! I gave birth to you, raised you, and waited for you to grow up. Now that your wings are stiff, treat me like this, if I knew it earlier, I should have stabbed you to death."

"Mom, I don't have any. The moon cakes are also sold in the store. We prepared them for you in advance. You don't understand our family's situation. Now that the days are just over, I will definitely respect you a lot in the future." Yes." Su's father didn't know what to say anymore, every time he came, Mother would make a fuss like this.

"Yes! Mother, we prepared this ceremony in advance, and the mooncakes are not bad." Mother Su knew Father Su's filial piety when she saw Father Su's appearance, and also knew that if her mother-in-law caused trouble, everyone would It's not easy, so I persuaded him.

"Tsk, it's not bad. It's not bad to give the things sold to low-level people to my mother. Fortunately, you have the nerve to say it." Feng is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Looking at Feng's, Su Ling couldn't help but want to go up and slap her twice, trying to calm down her anger, "Fifth Aunt, how did you know that this is something sold to low-level people? Can people afford it?"

"My lord, what are you talking about, you little girl, you are not well-bred." Feng said angrily, she still remembered that she was teased by Su Ling brothers and sisters last time, which made her so ugly that she hid at home for a long time !

"Fifth Aunt, don't go too far. Ling'er didn't say anything wrong." Su's mother can't see others scolding her children. She knows her own children best. If others don't mess with her, she won't Who cares about others!
"What's wrong with what I said, little girl, what are you proud of?" Feng's child kept muttering.

"Okay, let's not say a word." Grandpa Su said, everyone dared not speak out, "Second brother, let's have dinner at the old house tonight! The family hasn't been together for a long time." Grandpa Su looked at Su's father, Su Mother, I also know that the second son has been simple and honest since childhood, has a stupid mouth, and doesn't know how to please others, unlike the old fifth who can please people with a sweet mouth, but among so many sons, he likes this second son the most, but this woman, eh... , Grandpa Su sighed.

When Su's father heard Grandpa Su say this, he glanced at Su's mother, saw Su's mother nodding, and agreed.

"Since you're staying here to eat, let's cook!" Feng said.

Su's mother just didn't want to stay in the lobby, so she went to the kitchen, Su Ling and Su He also went out, leaving poor Su Dong in the lobby, and Grandpa Su was asking him about his studies!

Soon, a table of meals was ready. The piece of meat brought by Su Ling's family was cut in half, half was kept, and the other half was made into braised pork, with beans, eggplant, and seasonal vegetables, There are also five or six dishes.

The Su family's old house has a large population. When eating, they are divided into two tables, one table for men, one table for women and children. Ling's table left less, and Liang's even shared one steamed bun for each person, while for Su Duo and Su Rui, the two sisters ate one. I gave it to the two sisters, but my son just ate a steamed bun.

Su Ling looked at the family of three who didn't dare to pick up the dishes on the table. The braised pork was placed in front of Liang Shi, and even Feng Shi didn't dare to pick it up, but her youngest son was drooling when he saw the meat. came out, "Mother, mother, I want to eat meat."

Feng Shi looked at Liang Shi, and wanted to stretch out his hand to pinch it, but when he glanced at Liang Shi, his outstretched hand stopped again, and went to pinch a piece of beans instead.

Mrs. Liang took a piece of fat and piled it into Su Zhen's bowl, "Eat, eat, eat, I know how to eat all day long, and I cry when I eat."

As soon as Su Zhen saw the meat, he picked it up and ate it without crying.

Su Ling looked at the way this family was eating, and was very glad that his family was separated, or else he was not being squeezed like the uncle's family.

As for Su Ling's third and fourth aunts, they ate quietly with their children, didn't talk much, and didn't make any fuss, probably because they knew it would be useless to make a fuss!
