Farmhouse smoke rises

Chapter 4

Su Gu'an was still thinking about his childhood, occasionally took a sip of the wine.The peach blossom wine in Qingshui Village is very clear, and many villagers are good winemakers.The Su family is no exception, isn't Su Gu'an going to have some wine every day to relieve fatigue?

But obviously Wang Sang was a little bit reluctant, so he interrupted Su Gu'an's words abruptly: "Don't mention your father, I will get angry if you mention him. It's better than your stepmother, who said the year before last that she would take the place in the east. A piece of land was given to our family, but it has not been given up to now, you said he can't do it anymore, why are you so stubborn."

This Su Gu'an is notoriously afraid of his wife, it's not that as soon as Wang Sang opened his mouth, Su Gu'an didn't dare to say anything.

Even though it's been almost a week since time travel, Su Yu doesn't know much about the big family. She only knows that she has parents, a younger brother and a younger sister, and she has never seen any of the other relatives.

But now she is very interested in what Wang Sang said was Su Gu'an's father. If this man was just a piece of land for the Su family, Wang Sang would not be so angry.So what did this person do to apologize to them?
Seeing that the atmosphere on the table had suddenly cooled down, Su Fang changed the topic while trying to smooth things over, and asked Wang Sang, "Mother, how are the melons sold today? How many people are buying them?"

When Wang Sang heard Su Fang's question, she sighed heavily, and she put the vegetables in her mouth into the bowl: "Don't mention it, there are more and more people selling melons now. Originally, our melons are It’s not very good, so I didn’t sell a few today.”

Su Gu'an's drinking was not going well anymore, and he also followed suit: "Today, a member of the staff wanted to buy a lot, but the price he gave was too low, and he couldn't even get back the original cost, and he would have to pay it again soon." The one-year land rent was paid, so I didn't agree to it..." Su Gu'an put down the wine cup, "Your mother still complained that I didn't sell it to others..."

"It's a little bit of money to get back. If you don't sell it now, no one will buy it in a few days. The remaining melons will rot, let alone make money." Wang Sang still insisted on his own ideas. If Su Gu'an hadn't insisted that they couldn't be sold today, these melons would have been sold out long ago.Although the money is less, it is better than getting nothing.

"Then do you still want to go to town tomorrow?" Su Yu asked.

The two nodded.

Glancing at Su Bai and Su Fang, Su Yu continued: "Take me to help tomorrow. Now Xiaofang is very capable, just leave her at home to take care of her. I will help you sell melons. Multiple people will help you." Is not it."

Su Gu'an also nodded when he heard what Su Yu said. After all, there are many people who can handle more. "Then you can follow us. Get up early tomorrow, and I have to take a look at the rice fields over there in the morning."

Although Su Guan said so, Wang Sang did not agree: "Just sell a melon and you have to bring Dayu, we are enough." Then he turned to Su Yu and said, "Dayu, you don't have to go with us tomorrow. , Just stay at home and take care of your younger siblings, and harvest with us in a few days.”

Su Gu'an Buyi: "Just let her go with you. She's already this old, and it's time to learn how to work. When I was this old, I was the most capable in my family."

Wang Sang glared at him, "Can you be the same then as now?"

Seeing that these two people were fighting fiercely, Su Yu hurriedly interrupted their words: "Father and mother, stop arguing, I have already told you that I will go with you, don't worry, tomorrow will definitely be a good weather, our The melons will definitely be sold!"

Seeing that Su Yu was so obedient and sensible, Wang Sang didn't stop him anymore, but he still had some complaints about Su Gu'an in his heart.And for these children, especially the two daughters, she also feels a little guilty. Although the children of poor families have long been in charge of the family, and even girls in the countryside have to do farm work with the family, she is still reluctant after all. That mother I don't want to raise my daughter in a deep boudoir and become a well-educated young lady.

"Let's borrow an ox cart tomorrow, otherwise it will be too far to walk to the town from here." Su Yu suggested cautiously.

Su Guan thought for a while, but still shook his head. "Dayu, it's not that daddy can't borrow it, it's just that it's time for the farming season, who has to do every job now, and you borrowed his cow, isn't it hard for him, besides, he still owes favors..."

Su Yu thought that this would be the result. It took her a long time to get used to it last week before she accepted the fact that she had traveled through time when she woke up, and her current home was completely empty.In the past few days, while her parents were out, she deliberately walked around the village, and found that there were only two or three houses with cattle, which shows how rare animals are here.

Thinking of this, she secretly cried in her heart. Without cattle, what should I do when I plow the land in spring and transport grain in autumn? Do I use manpower...

The top priority is to sell the hoarded melons, and the other is to get a cow in the shortest possible time.

"Then why don't we give them a little money and use their cattle for a day?" Su Yu asked again.This time Wang Sang and Su Gu'an are on the same front, "Don't say that people can't ask for our little money, even if they want, we can't get it out, and soon the landlord's family will come to collect the rent. , I can’t get any money out, but fortunately this year’s harvest is not bad, so I guess it’s enough to scrape together the rent money.”

Su Gu'an also looked worried. The rent money was enough, but the family saved some surplus grain and couldn't sell it, so they had no savings. If they wanted to continue farming next year, they would have to pay rent. It's a head.

During several conversations, several people had already finished eating. Su Bai ate the fastest one. After eating, he went for a run in the yard outside and recited the poem that Lu Xiuyue handed him today: "The moonlight before the bed, Suspecting that there is frost on the ground, raise your head to look at the bright moon, and lower your head to think about your hometown." The voice was clear and crisp, and he paused every word.Back to the rigid.

And it was memorized over and over again. When she heard the phrase "bow your head and think about your hometown", she couldn't help thinking of her family in the distance.That grotesque world seems like a dream when I think about it now.

Su Fang didn't need anyone to ask her, so she went down to clean up the dishes by herself, and Su Yu was also helping her. With the moonlight shining into the house from outside the door, the water in the dish basin was sparkling.

"Xiao Fang, have you ever thought about going to school?" Su Yu took the table off the kang and whispered to Su Fang who was washing the dishes.She didn't dare to make too much noise. After all, in ancient times, a woman's lack of talent was a virtue. Although Da Chen's atmosphere was better, and many women even entered the court as officials, there were still many people who were very conservative, especially those in rural areas.She didn't want Su Gu'an and Wang Sang to have bad thoughts about them.

Su Fang didn't stop washing the dishes, and she answered in a low voice: "I think." Just one word, without any muddling.

Su Yu smiled, patted Su Fang's head, and said slyly: "I thought you would teach me a big reason, but I didn't expect you to be so honest."

Su Fang wasn't too disgusted with Su Yu's petting a puppy, so she simply let her go.

"Why do you lie? Anyway, our family can't afford me to study, so let me just say it."

"Sure enough, it's a child's heart," Su Yu smiled helplessly, but the next sentence was very firm: "You are still young, even if you learn later, it will not delay anything, don't worry, you and Su Bai will definitely be able to accept it. Educational ones, don't worry."

Su Fang thought that this elder sister was comforting her little dream, and she was joking with her, but she didn't care.She knows how difficult the family is, and even if she has studied, what can she do? Isn't she going to marry honestly in the future, and then assist her husband's family.

Su Yu is serious. No matter what time you are, you will be bullied if you don’t study and have no knowledge. Now that your family is poor, you can’t afford to pay for your studies, but it will change one day, won’t it?My sister will definitely let you and Su Bai both receive education.

Lying on the bed, Su Yu still thought about the future and life for a long time.In the modern age, she didn't even think about fate and life. From small to large, she studied, worked, and followed the rules step by step according to her family's wishes, so that she can really be called a poor person without dreams. up.

But now the great change of fate has driven her to a dead end. If she wants to change, she must face up to her life.This time, I'm working hard for myself.
