The Su family's big house, Su Xue's original old house.
Su Changsheng squatted on the edge of the ditch and smoked a water pipe, and the sound of water came out of the bamboo tube. Wan Cuihong was chopping pork and vegetables, and was chanting while doing it.
"That thief Su Xue, their house is much better than ours. The big red brick house with tiles has two bays on the left and three bays in the main room, and has two yards in the front and back. That house is not as good as ours.
I know how much better it is.”
"I don't know what kind of bad luck that thief girl had, to be able to have such good luck."
Wan Cuihong was chopping pig vegetables with a knife that was missing several holes in her hand. Since the breeding was gradually opened up, their family raised a piglet this year. Wan Cuihong took good care of her at home, and the pig ate carefully.
It's only July now, and I already weigh several dozen kilograms. By the time of the Chinese New Year, I will definitely weigh more than a hundred kilograms.
When the time comes, you will kill the pig and keep some meat for your own family, and the rest can be sold to other family members to make some money.
This was originally a wonderful thing, but compared with the Su Xue family who could own a big house "without any effort", Wan Cuihong looked down upon this income.
Of course it was impossible for her to let the pig out, she just wanted everything.
The hookah in Su Changsheng's hand, which had been polished extremely smooth, continued to make popping sounds. He held the pipe with one hand and stuffed the tobacco into it with the other.
"Master, do you think we can think of a way to get this new house?"
The more Wan Cuihong thought about it, the more unwilling she felt, and she couldn't help but come up with the idea of Su Xue's new house.
Su Changsheng raised his head, exhaled some smoke from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Wan Cuihong through the smoke with a pair of turbid eyes. The look in his eyes was not too sharp, but the emotion contained in it made Wan Cuihong, who had been married to Su Changsheng for decades, stunned.
I understand.
impossible.
She opened her mouth to continue speaking, but Su Changsheng stood up, "You don't want face, I still want face."
"But...but...aren't you envious of such a nice house?" Wan Cuihong still thinks it's unreasonable. It was Su Changsheng, the head of the family, who ordered their family to occupy the second family's house.
Now that Su Xue and the others have a new house, why don't they go?
Su Changsheng stopped, turned to look at Wan Cuihong, and said in a calm tone: "The two boys from the Sun family of the third team stole a few bags of cement and threw them into the river, and each of them had to pay fifty yuan in compensation. This matter is over.
If you want to rob their house, will you risk your life to pay for it?"
He is not as confused as the dead old woman. He must be jealous of the second house's new house, but it is given by the state. If he didn't have a brain problem, he would not be able to grab it openly.
Not only did he not go, Wan Cuihong was not allowed to go either.
"Tomorrow when they are on the beam, you can bring a few kilograms of corn to congratulate them."
Su Changsheng opened his mouth and gave instructions.
Wan Cuihong was stunned and suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. Otherwise, how could she hear that the head of the house was going to give corn to those wild brats? Did their family have too much food to eat all?
"The head of the family..."
"Forget it, you don't have to go. It will be embarrassing if you go. Let the boss and his wife go."
After Su Changsheng finished speaking, he walked into the house holding the chimney and holding his hands behind his back. Wan Cuihong was left alone, holding a knife and standing there wondering. What happened to Su Changsheng?
When the sky was getting dark, the dinner at Su Xue's house was also over. She left Zhang Meihua, Zhao Hong, and Su Baogang and other helpers at home to eat tonight. Zhang Meihua kept saying that Su Xue was too lavish.
Su Xue snickered several times as she listened.
"Auntie, I can't just let you work for nothing without giving me a bite to eat, right? Then wouldn't I be almost like Huang Shiren in the old society?"
"Huh? Do you still know about Huang Shiren?" Zhang Meihua looked at the little girl next to her funnyly. The little girl's lips were red and her teeth were white, and the skin on her face was like tender tofu just out of the pot. When she smiled softly, there were still two...
A shallow little pear dimple.
She's sweet and cute, and very lovable.
Su Xue nodded. "I know, I watched a big play with my grandparents when I was a child." When she was a child, there were many such plays that criticized the old society. Her grandparents liked to watch them, and of course she, a caring little cotton-padded jacket, followed them.
"You..." Zhang Meihua tapped the tip of her nose and told her that she didn't need to do anything at home. It wouldn't be too late to wait until she and Zhao Hong came over tomorrow. After getting the answer from Su Xue, she would definitely not get up to work secretly.
, Zhang Meihua left with a smile.
They have been tired for the whole day and it is indeed time to go home and rest.
Su Xue watched their figures disappear from sight, turned around and went into the warehouse to see the three brothers and sisters washing dishes.
Su Xiaolong was responsible for cleaning the first time with plant ash, and Su Xiaohu was responsible for cleaning the second time with clean water. Then Su Baoer on the side used a clean cloth specially used for wiping water to wipe the bowl dry and put them in
In the new cupboard that was just built.
The brother and sister divided the work and worked together very well.
Seeing that they were able to do a good job, Su Xue did not intervene. Instead, she was preparing to fetch water to take a bath. At this moment, He Qingdong, who had not seen him for several days, knocked on the door from outside and walked in.
The siblings turned their heads together and looked at He Qingdong, who was obviously thinner. They were a little afraid to admit it. He Qingdong was holding a sack in his hand. He nodded to the three siblings and then walked to Su Xue.
"I'm back."
The man's expression was a little tired, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright. It was a kind of joy after seeing his sweetheart, and he couldn't hide it no matter what.
"Well, have you eaten?" Su Xue looked at He Qingdong, who had become thinner and darker, and wondered what he had been doing in the past two days.
Before He Qingdong could answer, his stomach had already answered for him.
He looked at Su Xue.
During the days when the house was being built, he had been coming here to have dinner, so when it was dark and dinner time, his body naturally came here. No, after coming back from the county town, the first thing he did was to come here.
Listening to the growling of the stomach, this person probably hasn't eaten for a day.
"Go get some water and wash your face first, and I'll get you some noodles."
During the day, when Su Baogang and the others went to help buy things, Su Xue asked Su Baogang to buy two kilograms of fine noodles. She originally planned to cook some food when there was no time to cook, but she didn't expect that they would be sent out so quickly.
use.
Pulling up her sleeves, she entered the makeshift kitchen. Fortunately, the fire in the earthen stove was still burning. The pot above was mostly filled with hot water. Su Xue poured the hot water out and put it in a wooden bucket. From the corner of her eye, she saw
After eating the fried meat on one side, she cut two pieces as big as a palm and set them aside. Then she added oil to the pan, put the meat in and sauteed until fragrant, and then added two bowls of water.
The firepower of the earthen stove was much greater than that of ordinary coal-burning stoves, and the water in the pot quickly rolled. Su Xue thought of the big man He Qingdong, and dropped half a kilogram of noodles into the pot.
.
Crack two more poached eggs into the pot and cook together with the noodles.
I cut some chopped green onions and picked up two small green vegetables in the basket. When the noodles in the pot were almost ready, I threw the small green vegetables in and gave them a stir, then added salt and it was ready to serve.
When it comes out of the pot, sprinkle with chopped green onions on the noodles. The white steaming noodles are especially green with green onions. Although I don't know how it tastes, the appearance is quite good.
"The noodles are ready, come and serve them yourself."
