Yamashita family

Chapter 30 Tian Shi
Su Zi and Li Qingshan met Li Qing's daughter-in-law Tian Shi on the way home. She was wearing a navy blue jacket and a gray apron. , still holding a large basin of clothes in his hand, it seems that it is the rhythm of going home after washing.

People usually wash their clothes in the river at the foot of the mountain, which is where the mountain spring flows in front of Li Qingshan’s house, but the river will still freeze in winter, especially when it has just snowed. The ice had to be cut open, and fortunately, when the weather was warm, mountain springs flowed down, so the ice layer was not very thick.

But even so, the water there is very cold. In winter, everyone digs water from the well at home to wash clothes, and some people even boil some hot water to keep their hands from freezing.

Tian's face was resigned, his face was haggard, and he looked ten years older than Su Zi, but his hair was combed meticulously, and he simply tied it into a bun with a wooden hairpin.Hands are as cold as carrots, which makes people feel distressed.Although she also did all kinds of rough and tiring work in her natal family, Su Zi still felt that marrying Li Qing was a bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Needless to say, it must be the idea of ​​Li Qing's old lady Wang, who doesn't treat people as human beings. Li Qing is not a good person, but he can't protect him after marrying him.

Whether he likes it or not, Tian's work in their house is really hard work, serving them is like serving their ancestors, and now he has to train others, digging ice and doing laundry in winter.

Tian Shi also saw Su Zi and Li Qingshan, but nodded and passed by without any other expression on his face.

Su Zi watched her back in a daze, then sighed.

"What's the matter?" Li Qingshan asked after discovering Su Zi's strangeness.

"It's nothing, let's go home." Su Zi shook her head and didn't want to say more. After all, she was outside, so it was not very good to be heard.

Li Qingshan glanced at the back of Tian's leaving. He didn't know that Su Zi felt that she was too pitiful, but also had some other thoughts. After all, she almost became Li Qing's wife.

Seeing that Su Zi was unwilling to say more, Li Qingshan took her hand quietly, Su Zi turned his head and looked over, the two of them looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled, and then walked home hand in hand.

Back home Li Qingshan went to the kitchen to wash dishes and basins, because he didn't let Su Zi touch cold water without boiling hot water, this comparison made Li Qing's side look like hell.

Su Zi leaned on the door frame to watch Li Qingshan's busy work, and she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. Fortunately, the engagement was divorced, otherwise Tian's experience today would have been replaced by her.

But if it wasn't for Li Qing's resignation, the original owner wouldn't have committed suicide, and he wouldn't have passed through if the original owner hadn't committed suicide, and then he would have nothing to do with himself. I guess I would still be living a life of being forced to go on blind dates by my mother every day in modern times.

And if Li Qing didn't break off the marriage with Su Zi, according to the original owner's filial temperament, he might be tortured by Wang Shi. Wang Shi didn't like her, and she must have a good life.

Thinking about it like this, I feel relieved again. Rather than living and suffering, my arrival can be regarded as liberating the original owner. Maybe she is living well somewhere.

Seeing Su Zi standing in a daze at the door, Li Qingshan asked suspiciously: "What are you thinking? It's cold outside, so go inside quickly." At this time, he also finished washing, and just came out to take Su Zi back to the room.

"It's just a little emotional." Su Zi hugged Li Qingshan's arm and said with a smile, half joking and half serious, "I feel very lucky, fortunately I divorced before, otherwise I would be like Tian, ​​who came out to dig ice in the winter Clothes, suffer!"

Li Qingshan shook his head with a smile. He would not say bad things about others, but he would not speak up for Li Qing either. He simply didn’t say anything. Anyway, Su Zi didn’t intend to listen to what he had to say. It's just a matter of feeling.

Back in the house, Su Zi began to prepare things for Li Qingshan to hunt. The two talked while packing up. The main reason was that Su Zi was worried and told him to be careful over and over again. Although it was like this every time, Li Qingshan did not show any signs of The slightest boredom, always listened patiently, then nodded with a smile.

It is Li Qingshan's dream to have someone who cares about him so much. He has lived alone for more than ten years, and he cherishes this warmth very much.

Two days later, Li Qingshan, Su Bai and Su Qing went up the mountain, and before leaving, they sent Su Zi to Su's house, just to help the family with some housework.

After telling them to pay attention to safety, Su Zi followed Su's mother and the others into the house, and Su's father was also there, just in time to talk about buying the hill.

"Father, what did Li Zheng say?" Su Zi didn't hide anything, and asked directly when she came up.

"Lizheng said that it's okay to sell, but I just think it's not worthwhile to not grow crops there. I ask you if you have thought it through carefully. I will take you to talk about it when the time comes." Father Su said with a smile.

Li in the village is a real person. The mountain here is shared wherever it is, but in fact no one cares about it. Now that someone is willing to spend money to buy it, it is a free gift. Anyway, the mountain is where it is. It's no use.

An active, cunning and treacherous person must first consider how much money he can get rather than whether it is useful for others to buy it. Anyway, it is not his own business, but Li Zheng played a role in reminding him, which shows that he is a good person.

"Well, it's also a good idea to bring some prey when Qingshan comes back from hunting. We can't make people busy." Su Zi said with a smile.

"Well, Li is a kind person. He is the most fair and just. It is right to take some things." Su's father nodded in relief, feeling that his daughter has rules for handling things, thinks through problems thoroughly, and is generous and not stingy.

"But is the fruit tree you want reliable?" Su's father was still a little worried, no matter how much money was spent to buy it in the end, it was still money, so don't waste it all in the end.

"Although mountain grapes are quite valuable, if there are too many, they probably won't be worth that price. What should we do then?" He thinks the idea is very good, but there will still be many problems in the actual operation process. Consequences must be considered.

"You don't have to worry about this, I will find my own solution when the time comes." Su Zi said very confidently.

Seeing Su Zi's determined attitude, Su's father didn't say anything else, the child will always grow up, "you just know what you want, and do whatever you want. If you can't do it, there are us." But still expressed his attitude.

Su Zi was very moved, this is family, they always support you and help you for free.

"En." Su Zi nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Dad, we have a sense of proportion, but we still have to rely on you, old man, after all, your life experience is much richer than ours, and there are still many things we don't understand. You should mention it more often, and if you are wrong, just say it.”

"You don't need to talk about it. Your father and I eat more salt than you eat, and cross more bridges than you walk. Although you have a lot of ideas, you still have to listen to the old man!" Su's father was happy Said, and some meaningful.

"That's right, isn't there a saying that you will suffer if you don't listen to the old man? Of course we must listen to your old man's opinion more!" Su Zi flattered her calmly, and Su's father smiled happily.

During this period of time, too many things have happened in the family. Su's father has always had a faint melancholy on his brows, which cannot be resolved or resolved. Su Zi tries to make him smile more, always so frowning, not good for health.

After another conversation, Su's father went out to play chess with old man Li next door. There was nothing to do in winter, and these people would think about some entertainment activities. The entertainment life in ancient times was relatively poor, so playing chess became their favorite. one of the pastimes.

As soon as Su's father left, only Su's mother, Su Zi, and Su Lan were left in the room. Su's mother took out the soles of her shoes and brought them out. Su Lan was doing embroidery work, and Su Zi was not idle, so she helped the group. line, and then the three of them chatted while doing their jobs.

The main thing is to talk about some gossip. In the countryside, some gossip will be passed on when there is nothing to do, for people to have fun after dinner.

"That Zhou Min has already made a marriage agreement. It's from a family in the east of their village." Su's mother was still a little indignant as she spoke. .

"So soon?" Su Zi was a little surprised. She thought that she would have to wait until the next year, and the limelight had passed. She didn't expect people to be so impatient.

"I said that the family dislikes the poor and loves the rich. I heard that the family we have settled now has dozens of acres of land. There are four children in the family, three daughters, and only one son. The son is the third eldest. , two older sisters are already married, and one younger sister is [-] this year, and she hasn't said anything about marriage yet." Su Lan's news was more informed, and she found out her family's family background.

"Their family conditions are relatively good, and they can often eat meat. The son is seventeen this year and is the same age as Zhou Min. Because there is only such a son, who is favored by the family, steals, rapes, cheats, eats and is lazy. Zhou Min is also thinking about it To have a daughter-in-law to take care of her is to find a capable person to take care of the son." Su Lan said with disdain, how could such a person compare with her elder brother, Zhou's family members are all blind.
