The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 43

Everyone didn’t expect any good food at first. After all, it’s a good meal and wages. It’s good to be full. When I saw the oily pork head and roast duck on the table, my mouth watered It's all going to flow out.

"Second brother Su is really interesting. Looking at such a good meal, everyone must open their stomachs and eat tonight." Niu Tian's hearty voice sounded.

Everyone also followed suit, it was really unexpected, not only white flour steamed buns, but also a pot full of meat.

"Everyone eat as much as you can, and you have enough." Father Su said.

When everyone heard this, they were even more happy. What could be happier than eating a good meal after a day's work? There was wine and meat, and everyone laughed. Considering that they will continue to work tomorrow, everyone just Drink a bowl to relieve fatigue and give up.

"When the house is built, please let everyone drink to their heart's content. Let's eat more meat first!" Su's father saw that everyone drank a bowl and stopped drinking, and guessed what everyone was thinking, so he said.

"Mother, just say what you have to say!" Father Su wiped his hands, not knowing what to say, Mrs. Liang called him over early in the morning, and the two just looked at each other without saying anything. It made him feel hairy in his heart, and he couldn't bear it before opening his mouth.

"I heard that you bought meat for those people yesterday, and no one paid fifty dollars a day." Mrs. Liang glared at Su's father before saying.

"Mother, who and what are you talking about, what are those people, they are all our fellow countrymen." Father Su couldn't help retorting seeing Liang's harsh words. "Besides, it's normal for my relatives to work and feed them."

"You contradicted me before I even started talking, God damn it! I have worked so long throughout the year, but I still don't have fifty big bucks, and I don't necessarily have to eat meat for every meal." Liang began to snark again. up.

"Mom, it's normal to hire someone to do the work and pay for it. If you don't pay, who will help you do the work!" Father Su could only say this.

"Giving money is giving money, can you give that much? You should laugh at him if you give him [-] big money, and he still eats meat. If you give them white flour steamed buns, you already think highly of them." Meat.In fact, I was thinking to myself, rather than giving it to them, it would be better to give it to me!

"Mother, how can I get the strength to work without eating meat? The reason for paying more money is to finish the work faster!"

"You, you bastard, my old lady pulled you up with feces and piss. If you don't see me, you will honor my old lady with a piece of shit. You are generous to outsiders! I should have drowned you if I knew it. It saved my mother so much food."

Every time Su's father heard Liang's yelling and scolding, he felt very hurt. He also knew that his mother hated him since she was a child, and would never think of him as a son when she didn't need him. He only thinks of him when he has no money, but he still foolishly hopes that one day Mrs. Liang will discover his existence. Her, unless you leave the house without leaving the house." Hearing this sentence, his heart was completely shattered. For so many years, not only had Liang not discovered his existence, but he had been separated as a result of his resistance once.

"Mother, stop scolding. If you say what you want, my son will do it if he can." Seeing Mrs. Liang sitting on the kang cursing, Father Su really wanted to leave, but his conscience forced him to do it. stay.

"Really?" Liang picked up the veil, woke up with a runny nose, and stopped pretending to cry.

"Well, really, tell me!"

"Last time I saw that the silver hairpin worn by Aunt Six at the head of the village is very pretty."

At this point, Father Su already knew what Liang was thinking, and took out the only two pennies left from his body and handed it to Liang.

"You, are you sending beggars away?" Liang yelled.

"Mom, I only have so much on me. I'll bring it to you next time. There's still a lot of work to do at home, so I'll go back first." After finishing speaking, he left, not caring what happened to Mrs. Liang behind him. Broken thoughts.

The new house of Su Ling's family was built next to the old house, because there was no other suitable land, and a large piece of unowned land next to the house, Su Ling asked Su's father to simply buy this piece of land, probably There are five or six acres!So I didn't demolish the old house. I thought about building a new house and moved in. Then I demolished the old house and built a small workshop to make sauerkraut. Of course, this is Su Ling's current idea. She hasn't told anyone yet. up!
Su Dong happens to be on vacation once a month. Su Ling sent him a message earlier about building a new house at home. He was very happy when he found out. He would go to the construction site to help out every day when he was at home. , move a brick or something.

Another man joked: "Hey, this little scholar, can you move it with thin arms and legs?"

Su Dong only smiled when he heard this, and did not refute. Su Ling knew that Su Dong had done heavy work. When the family conditions were not good earlier, he would help with any work at home. Now that he is able to move bricks, it is not easy. , and he doesn't want his elder brother to be a frail scholar who doesn't work hard, so there is still some exercise that should be done.

Seeing that Su Dong could move three green bricks in one go, everyone stopped joking. Su Dong just smiled at Su Ling, and Su Ling gave him an encouraging look.

There are many people and strength, the Su family's house will soon be erected, and the beams will be covered with tiles.Su's father asked about the nearest holiday, but it would be three days away.

Everyone has worked hard for several days tonight. Mother Su and Aunt Li have prepared enough meals. Fish and meat are indispensable, and white flour steamed buns are enough. Of course, if there is fish and meat, how can there be less? Got the wine, although the work has not been completely finished yet, but tomorrow I can have a good rest, everyone will not be afraid of getting drunk, eat meat with big mouthfuls, drink heavily, and do not forget to praise "this meat It smells so good, it’s even better than our Chinese New Year’s.”

"No, you're wrong, we may not be able to eat such good food and wine during Chinese New Year!" Someone immediately retorted.

"Yes, uh, yes, you're right, I must have drunk too much, that's why I said that." The person who spoke earlier hiccupped while speaking.

"Look, this kid must be drunk, he's gone crazy!" Niu Tian said to Su's father while drinking.

"Hehe, if you're happy, drink more, it won't be a problem." Father Su said with a smile.

Soon everyone finished eating, and those who were drunk were sent home by those who were not.

Seeing that there were so many leftovers, Su Ling thought about what to do!I heard Mother Su say.

"Ling'er, hurry up and help me share this talent with the steamed bun, and let your aunts take it back."

Hearing Su's mother say this, Su Ling remembered how difficult it is to have a good meal in this era, so most people buy banquets or other leftover meals and let those who come to help take them home. Not only will they not be disgusted, but they will also be very happy. This is a small opportunity to improve the food at home. How can they not be happy!
