Chapter 5 Drying Petals
"Qing'er..."

Su Quanshu couldn't get over his face. Although the two families were like enemies, they were brothers after all. How could there be troubles between brothers like this.

"Ah, Dad, aren't you full yet? Come, have another bowl."

Su Qing naturally knew that Su Quanshu intended to persuade him to make peace, but she just refused, pretending not to know how to twist the subject, and then she was about to pour chicken soup for Su Quanshu with a pot.

Luo Shi's pupils narrowed, looking at Su Quanshu's sallow appearance with only bones left, how could he still be in the mood to grab the chicken soup, spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, and led the two children away.

"Qing'er, dad is full."

Su Quan erected his horse and stretched out his hand to block the chicken soup that was about to fall, and said softly, his eyes were full of distress and doting.He didn't mean to blame her at all, it's just that Luo Shi is too powerful and powerful, and there is an elder brother who runs a martial arts gym at home, and his elder brother is also facing her, he is afraid that Qing'er will suffer again.

"Okay, then I'll give mother and the others a drink."

It was a bowl of chicken soup and a bowl of corn mush just now, enough for him to be full, and the family was waiting to eat, she was not overbearing, so she left with the pot in her arms.

The two elders of the Su family have already left, and Su Dongxu is washing the dishes, so he probably drank the two bowls of chicken soup.Su Qing didn't say much, and after Su Dongxu washed the bowl, he divided up the chicken soup.

"Qing'er, save some, your brother will go out and drink a bowl tomorrow morning."

He Yanzi took out a few pieces of chicken from the bowl, looked at Su Qing and said.

Su Qing originally wanted to find a way after this meal, but it was getting late, and what she said was right, so she saved a little, and just told:
"This has to be put away, there are many mice in the house, and we have to guard against those greedy thieves."

As he spoke, he puffed up his cheeks, Su Dongxu smiled and touched the top of her head. Although this younger sister has changed her temper, although it is difficult to resist, at least she will not beat, scold or fight back. He has to do it every day. Live, no extra time to accompany her and protect her.

"Well, it's still my Qing'er who is thoughtful."

He Yanzi rarely showed a slight smile, and agreed with relief.

Embarrassment flashed across Su Qing's face, she was already in her teens, and she said she was fine, why did they all think she was a mentally handicapped person at a certain age, hey...

The night in the countryside is pitch black except for the misty mist, but the air is very clear. In this dilapidated house, you can see the stars in the sky while lying down. Su Qing can't sleep, tossing and turning, exhaling and inhaling.

After picking up so many peach blossoms, I originally planned to make peach blossom wine, but found that there was nothing usable except for an earthen stove and a chipped iron rice cooker.

It can really be described as poor...

In the early morning, just as the sky was turning white, she heard the sound of rustling clothes. Su Qing also woke up immediately. From the screen of the rags surrounding the city, only Su Dongxu's back was left. When he walked away, she realized Until he didn't eat.

But it was too late to chase him out, he probably did it on purpose.

With a sigh, he sat up by himself, holding the clothes with countless patches and several sizes larger than his thin body.

"Qing'er, sleep a little longer, mother will go and see if there are any vegetable leaves in the morning market."

The lotus swallow also woke up at this time. It is more than half an hour away from the market. There will be some fresh vegetable leaves left in the morning market. It is good to pick them up and cook them.After Su Quanshu's accident, all the things grown by the family were sold except those that could be sold after paying taxes. Last year, because of her late pregnancy, the vegetable field is now deserted.Neighbors will give some, but you can't just rely on others for a lifetime.

It has been almost ten days since she gave birth. Although her body has not recovered, she can still reach the market by walking slowly, picking up a little bit, because the wild vegetables around here have also been dug up in this season.

"Mother, you take care of your younger brother and father at home, and I'll go out for a walk later."

Shocked by He Yanzi's voice, Su Qing tugged on his shirt and said while putting it on.While speaking, the person had already stepped out of the screen, and went out with a half-worn bamboo basket, He Yanzi was worried about her, but just about to chase her out, the fur doll cried, she didn't retreat, and went to coax the fur doll again, Then unbutton the skirt to feed.

Because the nutrition can't keep up, the milk supply is very low, the child can't eat enough, and cries a lot all day long.She can only wipe away her tears, it's only been a few days, it's been a few months, what should I do if I eat too much...

"Hey, Su Qing, don't tell me you're not normal again, what are you doing with so many stones?"

In the early morning, someone was already washing clothes by the river, so Su Qing rolled up her trousers and went into the water, took out smooth and beautiful stones the size of a child's fist, washed them, and put them into a bamboo basket.After touching more than a dozen yuan, they landed on the shore. Several women looked at her with contemptuous smiles in their eyes, and made noises even more wickedly.

Most of the people in the village are simple and kind, but after all, she has been stupid for more than a year. Maybe she is helping her family while talking behind her back. This is women's gossip.What's more, her face is yellow and thin now, her fingernails are all black, even her face is blue and white, and some places are still swollen.

"Fun."

She didn't want to talk too much, in their eyes, it doesn't matter if she is a fool or a dementia, as long as she doesn't come to trouble her, it has nothing to do with her, so she left the words blankly and walked back with the basket.

"This... isn't it agreed, why is it like this again?"

"Who knows, he's so crazy that Dongxu's child won't be able to marry a wife."

"It is estimated that Su Quanshu's children will not be able to marry. Who would like to enter the house and suffer along with him? Who would want to marry? Look at the paralyzed paralyzed, so stupid, who can fill such a big hole."

"..."

"Qing'er, what are you doing, this stone..."

Not only the villagers who do laundry, but He Yanzi felt his heart skip a beat when he saw Su Qing carrying such a stone back. Could this child...

"It's okay, mother, just do your own thing."

Su Qing didn't want to explain too much, just said something perfunctory, then went into the back with the basket, lit a fire, boiled the pot dry, and then put stones on it, and after the stones were heated, put the carefully selected peach blossoms The petals were brought over and carefully placed on top, and they were not replaced until they were dry.

There is no decent thing at home, so the dried peach petals can only be put into the bamboo basket, and by the way, put the bamboo basket on the other side of the stove, so that there is residual heat on it, so that the wet basket will not damage the petals.

In this way, after a busy morning, she ate half a bowl of polenta hastily, and she took the clothes to wash before she was ready to go up the mountain.

"Mother, you can cut the bamboo here casually, you know how to weave bamboo baskets, right?"

A bamboo basket at home is really not enough, and there must be something to hold the peach petals.So, take the opportunity to do more.
