Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 21 The Swinging Bun

The night in the village is pitch black.

In an instant, Su Youli woke up as usual, and was about to get up without thinking about anything, only to find that Mrs. Li had fallen asleep reclining on the bed because of applying medicine for him. The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. The action slowed down.

This slowdown lasted for another quarter of an hour. Su Youli was in a dilemma. He was afraid of waking up Mrs. Li and he was afraid that he would not be able to grind the tofu in time. What about tomorrow's business?

Just as I was thinking like this, I heard a rustling sound coming from far and near, it was the sound of pattering footsteps, and the sound seemed to come to the door of the wing room, "Third brother, are you still sorry?"

Su Youli did not respond to this obviously sleepy voice, fearing that it would disturb Li Shi, he gently took Li Shi's hand away, put on his clothes and tiptoed out of bed, but his clothes were caught by something , Touch it again, it's Mrs. Li's hand.

Mrs. Li also sat up, just standing there silently.

Su Youli paused on the spot.

And Su Youcai, who was outside the house, had discussed with the Zhou family before, how could it be possible that the third child did not have some private property in his hand after selling the tofu for so long? If there is an opportunity to sell tofu by yourself, not only can you avoid the tofu, but you can also take the opportunity to help see how much money you can make every day.

Who knew that after thousands of calculations, I didn't count them. There are still two days left in between. Although selling tofu is not tiring, it is not an easy job. The more I think about it, the more I feel that I have suffered a disadvantage.

I thought it was the third child who was acting unethically. At this time, calling him by himself already made him feel a little annoyed, but he couldn't call anyone out, so he went to pat the window lattice, the sound of bang bang was particularly harsh in this night.

Su Youli's clothes were held tightly by Li Shi, thinking of Li Shi's anger before going to bed, and what she said, "Look at this family, what are we trading for? You have to be brave again, keep this injury, what will really happen in the future, if you are still like this when you are here, how will you let Yuan Guang live in the future?"

Even so, one is due to habit, and the other is that Su Youli felt a little sorry to hear Su Youcai yelling outside, "The fourth child can't do it..."

Mrs. Li inevitably gritted her teeth, "If you go out, he won't do anything, and you'll have to make a billet in two days, you, you..." As he spoke, Mrs. Li choked up.

Seeing that Su Youli hadn't come out for so long, Su Youcai became a little unhappy, and his voice raised a lot, "Third Brother, it's too late if you don't get up again!"

Yuan Guang pushed open the small door where he lived, "Fourth Uncle, keep your voice down, my father rubbed medicine on his waist before he fell asleep, hey, why didn't you let Fourth Aunt get up and start a fire? Didn't you even grind out the soy milk?" ?”

Although Su Youcai usually idles around, he is also talkative. Hearing what Yuan Guang said at this time, he was a little embarrassed, and quickly found an excuse, "We did the right thing, but we haven't done it for so long. After that, I still need your father to come out to teach, so as not to waste beans, right?"

Pinellia in the room woke up early and went to the door to listen.

Yuan Guang was a little surprised when he heard Su Youcai say this, "How can there be any chance? You didn't pay attention to my father when you came home? Grandma said he was not all day long? Logically speaking, you are the one who watched him since you were a child." I was talking about how to make tofu, but grandma said that you have done a lot better, and the brine and other things are ready, so just grind it, boil it, and compact it, otherwise you can ask grandma for advice?"

Ban Xia silently praised her from the bottom of her heart, but it was just a secret discussion with the old lady before going to bed, and it really happened.

High beams have coped well so far.

Su Youcai couldn't say anything, just walked away with his shoes on.

There was no movement for a long time.

Su Youli couldn't sit still anymore, and whispered to Li Shi, "I'm afraid I'm not used to the fourth child who hasn't stayed up late for a long time."

Seeing that the person left, Mrs. Li did not deliberately suppress her voice just now, "Then you go out now? Do you want to prove to your parents that I lied last night? Are you not injured at all? Or is it because you can't live without selling tofu this day?" gone?"

Su Youli was choked, Li Shi was originally a docile person, but ever since Yuanchen was almost sent away, she has been like that old hen with fried hair all day long, unable to listen to what he said, he knew her Heartbroken, and secretly hated himself for being incapable, and even more so, he didn't want to quarrel with her.

He gritted his teeth and ignored that much.

Ban Xia listened attentively, and saw that there was no movement, and he didn't hear Su Youli getting up, so he felt a little relieved. Although his father had soft ears and a strong sense of responsibility, he always felt that everything should be put first, and that he could do it himself. He is the least important one, but he also has a weakness, that is, he is afraid of his own wife.

Being able to do this is half the battle.

The next morning, he woke up to Su Qian's scolding.

"Are you planning to starve the whole family to death? Where is the sun, why don't you go out and sell tofu!"

Tofu is supposed to be prepared at night and sent out in the morning to ensure its freshness.So Su Youli and Li Shi usually stay up late.

Su Youcai was still sweating profusely pressing the tofu, and there were some broken and dusty ones on the side, and he didn't know why.

"Mother, I called third brother last night." Deeply wronged.

Su Qian said bitterly, "What do you want him to do? Do you have no hands or no feet? Can you be able to move him because he is so precious?"

Why does this make people uncomfortable?
Su Youli went out to pick up dung with Mr. Su early in the morning, and got up at dawn, but he didn't hear him.

Seeing Su Youcai and Zhou busy in the kitchen, Mrs. Li was not in a hurry, and went to wash after picking up the clothes of the whole family.

This punch hit the cotton, and seeing that the time had passed for the tofu, and it would be a loss to sell it, Su Qian felt that the copper coins in his pocket were running out one by one, which was entirely caused by the two of Li!
"Where to go, I can't dodge this morning!"

Mrs. Li paused, but she was not angry, she just said calmly, "Mother, it's still early to cook, and the kitchen is not empty, isn't this just thinking about washing clothes?"

There's nothing wrong with the words, it's just like what Li once said to Banxia, ​​when she was Su Qian's mother-in-law, she could swallow her anger, but after thinking it through, many things don't need to be handled.

Mrs. Su Qian patted her legs and kept shouting, while Mrs. Zhou fanned the flames, and Mrs. Li just stood still.

Not long after, old man Su and Su Youli came back, Su Youli was carrying the dung pan, and old man Su looked very satisfied, usually he didn't think that this third child could really get up as early as himself without selling tofu.

Hearing what Su Qian said, he didn't say much, "Fourth brother, why didn't you sell tofu so late? Third brother? Your third brother is going to make blanks the day after tomorrow. Didn't you say it well yesterday?"

One sentence sets the tone.
