Chapter 25
Chapter 25 Two rooms far away, three rooms close
When I got home, it was already dark.
At this point, everyone in the village is usually asleep.
But at this moment, Su Afang and Su Dagui were not sleepy at all.
He stared outside with burning eyes until he saw Su Jinxiu coming back.
The two of them dared to blink, and Su Afang felt sour in her heart.
The fungi made by Su Jinxiu did not eat the dead people, but actually came back fine.
Su Dagui smiled and hurried forward to greet him.
"Oh, Jinxiu is tired today?
Let Third Uncle guess, how much silver reward did you get today?
Twenty taels? Or thirty taels?"
Su Jinxiu raised her hand and shook the bracelet on her wrist.
"The old lady is very happy today and rewarded me with this bracelet.
He also said that the birthday banquet will be left to me, and the reward will definitely be a lot of money."
Su Dagui has seen good things, and he knew that the bracelet was not cheap.
I originally wanted to get close to Su Jinxiu with my face in mind.
Who knew that Su Jinxiu didn't give him a chance at all and went straight into the house and closed the door.
Su Dagui touched his nose boredly and glanced at Jiang Chunlan who was standing at the door of the house.
Jiang Chunlan understood and said softly on purpose.
"Jinxiu has been tired these past two days. I'll kill a chicken tomorrow and let her replenish her body.
The second sister-in-law is both an aunt.
Why don't you give me some egg soup?"
I purposely said this to the big room.
Widow Su sighed after hearing this.
"She's the only one? Is she worthy?"
She turned around and entered the house, slamming the door shut.
At this moment, Su Jinxiu was talking to Li Zhaodi and the others in the room.
He took off the bracelet in his hand and gave it to Li Zhaodi.
"Mother, please put this bracelet away.
I work on weekdays, and it’s not convenient to carry it with me.”
Li Zhaodi thought it was a good thing and hurriedly hid it in the pickled cabbage jar.
"Mom has hidden it for you, and will give you a dowry when the time comes."
Sun Shangwu fetched water from outside and put it away for Su Jinxiu.
He asked impatiently: "Sister, are you okay these days?
Can you teach me Kung Fu again? I want to learn more."
Li Zhaodi frowned and pulled Sun Shangwu away.
"Your sister has been tired for such a long time, please let her have a good rest for two days.
If others see your sister practicing kung fu, how will you find her husband's family in the future?"
Su Shangwu pouted dissatisfiedly: "Then I still don't want my sister to get married!
Otherwise, recruiting a wife is fine.
I think this man is good in bed."
He looks okay, he doesn't move or make any noise.
It’s just a nice-looking decoration. Putting it there won’t prevent him from learning martial arts from his sister. How nice is that?
"You brat, you really dare to say anything."
Li Zhaodi pinched Su Shangwu's ears and became very angry.
"Don't say such nonsense in the future, your sister should find a good in-law.
Only in the second half of my life will I have success."
Su Jinxiu didn't take her words to heart. She didn't count on marrying a good husband.
You can still live a wonderful life if you rely on yourself.
However, this reminded Su Jinxiu.
The man in bed cannot be left at home these days.
She had a new arrangement, Su Jinxiu called Su Shangwu.
"Sister, I will teach you new moves tomorrow, but you have to help me with something first."
When Su Shangwu heard this, he immediately beat his chest loudly.
"Whatever happens, I will definitely take care of it..."
Su Jinxiu asked Sun Shangwu to put the man on the back of the cow and pull him to the cave where the cow was originally hidden.
For the time being, let me just stay here for two days.
————————————
When the weather gets warmer, everyone is busy with spring plowing and has no time to wander around the mountains.
Su Jinxiu's family's corn was soaked a few days ago and has now sprouted.
She also made an appointment with Deng Dalu, and today she will help their family plow their fields.
During spring plowing, cattle farmers are in great demand.
The farmers all want to catch the good weather and plow the fields so they can plant rice.
Early in the morning, Su Jinxiu made breakfast and prepared to go to the fields.
Who would have known that as soon as they arrived at the ridge of the field, they saw Su Afang messing around with Deng Donkey.
"Deng Damu, I asked you, are you a stone head?
I told you to plow the fields for my family first, why can’t you listen?
At most, I'll add another egg for you."
Deng Damu suffered a loss from Su Afang and Su Widow last time, and he was not happy about it.
"I don't want it, I made an agreement with Jinxiu.
Today, I will plow the fields for her."
Su Afang refused to give up and started shouting at the top of her voice.
"Why, Su Jinxiu gave me more copper coins than me?
Are you determined to help her work with all your heart? Or, you and Su Jinxiu..."
"Second Aunt, haven't you had enough of this family meal?" Su Jinxiu stepped forward and glanced at Su Afang.
"I did give more than my second aunt. Uncle Deng helped me plow the fields, one tael of silver per acre.
If Second Aunt can be higher than me, I will let Uncle Deng go."
With that said, Su Jinxiu nodded to Deng Damu and handed the bun to him.
"Uncle Deng goes to work first..."
Deng Damu knew that he couldn't help because he was clumsy, so he hurried to plow the fields.
When Su Afang heard Su Jinxiu's words, her face turned red with anger.
"Su Jinxiu, do you think I'm a fool?
Others can plow their fields for up to ten cents per acre, and you give me one tael of silver?"
Su Jinxiu curled her lips, indicating something.
"Who gave me more money? I can afford to give you one tael of silver.
More importantly, it can also make the second aunt feel sick.
Second Aunt, don't wait any longer, Uncle Deng won't plow the fields for you."
Just as she was talking, Su Jinxiu suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiang Chunlan walking towards her.
She blinked and waved her hand towards Jiang Chunlan.
"Third aunt, Uncle Deng will go to your house to farm after he helps our family farm..."
After leaving these words, Su Jinxiu went home.
Su Afang is left with a doubtful face. When did the first and third bedrooms become so good?
Jiang Chunlan was still a little strange in her heart. Su Jinxiu had always been lukewarm towards her. What happened today?
Just as he was thinking about it, he was stopped by Su Afang.
"Su Jinxiu makes trouble for my second aunt all day long, but she is very kind to you, my third aunt.
Whatever benefits there are, remember to share them with you.
If you don't give me any benefits, don't blame me for dusting off all the good things you've done."
Jiang Chunlan's heart skipped a beat, and she smiled along with it.
"What are you talking about, second sister-in-law? Su Jinxiu must really share the benefits with me.
Will I forget you? She is deliberately instigating us to quarrel!"
Su Afang glanced at Jiang Chunlan suspiciously, and was pulled out of the field by her.
Su Jinxiu walked back and found Su Shuanzi walking around with the village children.
When I got home, I found Su Shangwu practicing hummingly in the courtyard.
She estimated that Su Shuanzi was preparing to ambush Su Shangwu outside.
"Shangwu, stop practicing, come and help me."
Su Shangwu responded, quickly wiped his sweat and came over to help.
When soaking rice seeds a few days ago, Su Jinxiu also soaked some wheat.
Malt has been produced in the past two days, which can be used to make maltose.
Chop the malt and mix with the glutinous rice leftover from the previous two days.
Taking advantage of this moment, she pounded some more hawthorn and chopped peanuts.
Pour the filtered wort into the pot and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
As the water gradually evaporates, the sugar juice in the pot thickens.
Before serving, sprinkle with sweet and sour hawthorn and chopped peanuts.
Su Jinxiu used bamboo skewers to skewer a few sugar balls and handed them to Su Shangwu.
"Don't worry about eating for yourself, share it with the kids outside."
Su Shangwu picked up the candy ball and took a lick, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Sister, have you all seen it? Su Shuanzi wants to lead them to fight with me.
I'm not afraid, but I listen to my sister."
Su Jinxiu smiled and gave him another candy ball.
"Remember what sister said, and take this to your brother."
