Pinellia pastoral

Old couple

The news that a school was about to be built in the village was like a drop of cold water falling into hot oil, and all kinds of words burst into flames in an instant.

It was Mr. Su who came to Banxia's family first.

He was holding a pipe in his hand, and looked in good spirits. He hadn't stepped into San'er's workshop for a long time. He squinted his eyes and looked around.

There was a smile on everyone's face, and Mr. Su remembered that he also went to do the work back then, sweating profusely to forge billets, and was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to eat. The sweat made his clothes wet and dry, dry and wet again, Where is it possible to talk and laugh happily and work like this?
In the end is different.

When he saw Su Youli, he spoke in a very calm voice: "How are the workshops in the city now?"

When Su Youli saw Mr. Su's heart, his heart was still a little complicated. He also hated it before. After learning about his accident, the family directly divided the third room, but he couldn't keep hating him, especially as time went by. The life at home is getting better and better, and his whole body is at peace.

But once the gap exists, it is like a broken mirror, even if it is pieced together, there are gaps in the end.

He was a little uncomfortable with Mr. Su's attitude and questioning, and his words were a little awkward, so he just replied: "Everything is fine."

However, Mr. Su didn't seem to see Su Youli's appearance, and said to himself: "It's good that you can have today. You haven't had to worry about it since you were a child. Nowadays, there are workshops in every room in the city, but making We still need to be more careful when buying and selling, we can’t blindly map big things, we have to have a bottom line in our hearts, and we can eat as much food as we have.”

Su Youli was confused, thinking that old man Su had heard some bad rumors, but he wanted to explain, but he didn't have anything to say, so he just nodded.

"I often watch people from other villages come to discuss. This kind of soybeans is also a good thing. Let everyone earn some money. Your eldest brother Yuanfeng passed the examination of scholar, so I don't have to worry about it in the future. Your second brother speaks better than you Not much, I didn’t expect him to be a blessed one, after such a long time with Yuan Lei, and the fifth child is getting better soon, your fourth brother has never been hurt badly, he has a bad temper, and he has no intention of saying that he is too bad, the village There are a lot of people who are fooling around like him, father will be like this for the rest of his life, and after closing his eyes, he can still go to see your mother..." Old Master Su rambled on.

Su Youli didn't react too much, he just took the cigarette pouch, hands behind his back, and wanted to go back.

Su Youli felt very uncomfortable, especially when he saw that Mr. Su was only half a hundred years old and his back was a little hunched, and he felt a little emotional. He seemed to be unable to control his opening of his mouth, and said, "Father—"

Old Master Su turned around and saw the excitement on Su Youli's face, which was a bit inexplicable.

"Father, I know. From now on, you will enjoy the blessings as an old man, and your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings." Having said this, Su Youli didn't know what to say.

But old man Su listened in, smiled slightly, turned around and walked away.

Only then did Mrs. Li come forward and asked, "What's wrong with Dad? I saw him..." The look just now seemed to be relaxed.

Ban Xia at the side saw it clearly, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su Qian lived together, Mr. Su was in charge of major matters, but Mrs. Su had the final say on small matters. Not many people would dare to provoke her with such a strong personality. , the family didn't suffer any big losses, and Mr. Su's considerations at the beginning were not helpful, but all kinds of things later...

She couldn't tell why, now that her children don't need to worry too much, Mr. Su is relieved. This is like those who retired from their posts in the previous life. , as if ten years had passed.I always feel that the whole world doesn't need him anymore, and when this person gets old, I'm afraid he won't be useful.

Mrs. Li seemed to understand it clearly, and sighed: "I guess it's about Lao Wu's business. Seeing that he is willing to do something, Dad feels good."

Su Youli nodded, looked at Li Shi, and the two smiled at each other.

Mrs. Li glared at him reproachfully, "What a grown-up!"

After finishing speaking, she seemed to think of something, and said, "Ah, this is inappropriate!"

"how?"

Mrs. Li shook her lips, seeming to regret it, but she still said: "I'm not instigating, you let dad enjoy the blessings, and I also wish for him to be happy and happy. If you say so, won't he let nothing happen? Father is not old, this person has nothing to do all day, how can he be good?"

Su Youli was in a dilemma as to whether they were connected by blood, "Then, what can I find for dad to do? Our workshop..."

Ban Xia coughed and coughed twice, afraid that his parents would be soft-hearted. Although this old man Su was pushing and shoving, he couldn't let him come to the workshop to be the master. It hasn't been built yet. Although we leave the place, there are people in the village who respond. There must be someone in charge, isn't it? Why don't you let the master go? Anyway, the bamboo house is not difficult, and there are still so many people looking at it. It would be nice to have an old man around."

Now because of Yuanfeng and the workshop, who doesn't give old man Su a little face when going out?The people in the village are like human beings, don't look at the fact that they dare to run on Su Qian's family sometimes, but that is all done by Su Qian's own, and others know that the big house and the third house are not Su Qian's own.

The difference, yes or no, is a little subtle.

Su Youli patted his forehead, and he agreed very much: "That's right, even if it's work, there are people who have a start, only Dad is at this age, let him take care of such things..."

"Is it okay, why don't you ask Grandpa?"

After listening to Su Youli's words, old man Su's eyes slowly brightened, but he didn't agree immediately, he just hesitated: "This kind of thing has never happened before, let the villagers work hard to build the house again, and you said that you have to study hard now?" , will someone say..."

Unexpectedly, this was what he was worried about, so Su Youli became more confident, "Father, you think too much, and besides, we don't collect much, which is even less compared to outsiders. There is a school in the village. That is a big event for the whole village, and everyone is more than willing to help, and if you have anything to say, put your heart into it!"

Mr. Su's expression softened a little, he was obviously already paying attention to this proposal.

"Father, there are too many things going on in this workshop, and I won't hide it from you. I only give it one place, and I don't care about anything else. It's a matter in the village. If you want to interfere with everything, people say it instead. As for What will happen in the future, we have to take one step at a time. You also know Lao Wu's temperament. He didn't even think about Shu Xiu, but since this is a good thing, we can't break the rules. It sounds good, if you teach it well, the fifth child will rely on it for a living in the future, and now that the rules are established at the beginning, it will be easy to act in the future." Su Youli said clearly and logically.

The more he talked, the brighter Mr. Su's eyes became. He secretly told himself that what the third child said was too true, and the fifth child could not control his temper. Su Qian now picks on the fifth daughter-in-law's faults all day long. It's not a big deal to scold, but it's better to take care of it in the past, it's also my own heart, and I can't just eat nothing.

Thinking of this, old man Su nodded and said: "It's good for you to think so. Since this matter is a major event in the village, I will go to Lizheng with your third uncle to discuss it."

"Father, you promised!"

Seeing Su Youli's excited face, old man Su smiled and said, "You've already said that, if I don't agree, there's no room for my old face."

Su Youli chuckled, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mother, I still need you to talk about it, I am..."

When Su Qian's was mentioned, Mr. Su also had some headaches, but he didn't want Su Youli to see it, so he interrupted him: "I'm happy to see you brothers helping each other. I'll talk about your mother."

Before the words fell, Su Qian came back from the outside in a hurry, and when he saw Su Youli, he said in a loud voice: "Third brother, what kind of children did you ask the fifth child to take to school? What are you thinking, Mr. An?" Wu is going to do big things, and the rumors are spreading everywhere..."

Now that Su Youli saw Su Qian's fangs and claws, he said indifferently: "Mother, what is this talking about? This is Lao Wu's own idea. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. With his temperament, I can talk about it."

Seeing Su Qian curling her lips, Su Youli suddenly smiled: "The fifth son came over and said that he wanted to carve out a small corner of the new house over there to build a school. Since my mother disagrees, I don't agree with him. It was originally a matter in the village, and my father knew about it."

Mr. Su was about to speak, but Mrs. Su Qian stared at him: "The fifth brother is your own brother! You can't bear to part with such a small place? Why is he bothering you?"

Talking to people like Su Qian, Su Youli smiled and said nothing, "It's not okay, that's not okay, but let me put it here, this school is a matter of the whole village, and if Li Zheng finds me, it's up to me." , I don’t want to say anything else.”

After talking to Mr. Su, Su Youli turned around and left.

But she thought in her heart that Su Qian was also worried about Su Youwen's future life, and hearing her tone now, she did not look unwilling, she clearly wanted to blackmail something out of it.

Mrs. Su Qian really said: "What's the problem? Since it's a school, how can it be covered with bamboo? It's a joke to say it. They are all treasured by dolls. After studying, they are all learned. Third, don't look at yourself now. You have a few coins, but it’s not as good as other people’s education. Anyway, you have to move to the new house. The two workshops here are so big, can’t you use it as a school? These two houses are for the old couple to live in. Open the door There is a school on the other side of the rice noodle workshop, which is also convenient.”

You plotted before you moved out?
It's so close, how can Lao Wu feel at ease, not to mention that his own house here also has a use, so such a big place can be given away if it is given out?

Su Youli didn't say a word, and left without looking back.
