After the Hungry Ghost Festival, there were three heavy rains in succession. The earth was washed clean, the forests were lush, the heat had dropped a lot, and there was even a slight chill.
Because of the heavy rain, Su Liu and the others did not go to open a stall, but started making female celebrities at home.
"The rain has stopped." Su Xiao opened the window and looked outside, then looked up at the sky and said, "The sun has come out."
Su Liu also took a look, and the fresh air came in through the open window, which made people feel refreshed. He said, "Put the window up to let some air in."
"It's a good thing that it rained just now. If it had been a few days earlier, no one in the village would have dried the millet!" Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
When the farmers are harvesting, they all pray to God for good luck. They have to rush to dry the harvested rice. Otherwise, if it rains, the millet will not dry and will germinate due to moisture.
"That's not the case." Su Liu looked at Chen and agreed.
After Chen and Su Changsheng reconciled, although Su Changsheng still occasionally caused trouble from time to time, it did not affect her mood. After all, her life was hundreds of times better than before. Therefore, Chen's aura was not
It can be said that she is not in good condition. She is no longer as pale as before, but has become a little rosy. Coupled with her calm and gentle temperament, she has a unique charm.
"How about we go to Butcher Zhao's house in the village to cut some meat and bring back some big bones to make a thick soup?" Su Liu suggested with a smile: "It's not a waste of time."
"That's good, I'll cut it." Su Xiao immediately dropped the sewing basket in her hand and climbed to the cabinet at the end of the kang to get the silver.
"You guys go together. It's rare that we don't have to open a stall today, so we can take a break." Mrs. Chen said with an indulgent smile.
After Su Liu heard this, he put down the nühong in his hand, straightened his clothes, and said, "Mom, let's go then."
"Um."
The two sisters walked through the bamboo forest talking and laughing, and walked into the center of Dayao Village. They met people and cheered.
"Hey, look at these two sisters, they are getting more handsome every day. They are living a comfortable life after all."
"No, it used to look like sprouts, but now it looks better."
"Ms. Chen is naturally good-looking, and the two of them are pretty good."
"It's fate. No one dares to go to that haunted house, but they live in it. It's not bad luck at all, but it's even better."
"I heard that Madam Nalu is protecting me. What does this mean? It's called showing sympathy for others."
"There will also be blessings in the future."
Su Liu and Su Xiao heard this, smiled at each other, and walked quickly towards the village.
"Sister, can you hear me? No one says anything bad about us now." Su Xiao was very happy. In the past, Su Liu was always called the unlucky Liuzhier, but now slowly, no one calls her that.
"Even if we can't say it well, we're not afraid. We live behind closed doors, so what are we afraid of?" Su Liu didn't care at all.
"Yes, that's what you said." Su Xiao nodded in agreement, then pointed forward and said, "Sister, do you think that's grandma?"
Su Liu stretched her neck to look and said, "It's not her."
I saw Mrs. Huang talking to Butcher Zhao with a bright smile, and she was dressed in new clothes. She thought that she might have to go on a blind date for Su Erlang or Su Jinfeng again today.
As I got closer, I heard a few words. It seemed that there was a girl surnamed Wang in two villages. She was from a good family. She was here to meet Su Fusheng today.
Because Huang was carrying them on his back, he did not see Su Liu and the others approaching, but Butcher Zhao did. He raised the big knife in his hand and shouted in a loud voice: "Hey, isn't this Su Liu?"
When Mrs. Huang heard this, she turned around, and sure enough, when she saw the two sisters Su and Liu, her smile dropped.
"Grandma."
Although they didn't want to admit it, Su Liu and the others still called out politely. However, Huang didn't have a good face and only made a nasal sound from his nostrils, which was regarded as acknowledgment.
Butcher Zhao also knew about their family's affairs, so he didn't say anything when he saw this. He only asked Su Liu and the others: "Why are you here today? Oh, I forgot, you haven't been selling buns in the past two days."
Butcher Zhao is actually quite kind, so on weekdays, Su Liu and the others order the meat they need to make steamed buns from Butcher Zhao. Firstly, they are all from the same village, so helping anyone is also a help. It is better to help someone you are familiar with. Secondly, they are all from the same village.
Come, because of the long-term cooperation, the meat is cheaper.
So Butcher Zhao was also very happy, and he was naturally much more enthusiastic when seeing the two sisters.
"Uncle Zhao, I'm free today, so I just want to buy some big bones and make a thick soup." Su Xiao smiled and said: "Cut two more pieces of fine meat. My sister said she would make Dongpo pork. Can you do it?
It should be considered cheaper."
"Okay." Butcher Zhao immediately beamed after hearing this, and said: "You are old customers, who can I trick you? That big bone is not worth a lot of money. You two are the only ones who care about it. Don't care.
It’s free to pick.” He pointed to the pile of pig bones on the wooden table and smiled. Su Liu and the others had patronized his business a lot, so he really didn’t care about these bones.
Su Liu was not polite, picked two large tube bones, and let them cut two spare ribs.
"Sister, this is the pork belly you want." Butcher Zhao tied two pieces of pork belly tied with grass and handed them to Huang. He took the copper plate from her hand and went to cut it for Su Liu and the others.
Fine meat.
Mrs. Huang stepped aside but did not leave. She only looked at the meat that Su Liu and the others had selected with cold eyes. When Butcher Zhao reported the number and Su Liu and the others happily paid a handful of copper coins, the corners of her eyes twitched.
Several puffs.
The three of them could buy a piece of meat worth thirty bucks each, and the one she had in hand only cost a dozen bucks in total.
After Su Liu and the others passed away, life became more comfortable. It seemed that the news was true.
Mrs. Huang looked at the handful of copper coins that Butcher Zhao had taken, and her flesh ached as if something had happened, as if they were her copper coins that had been forcibly dug away.
"Hey? Grandma, you haven't gone home yet?" Su Xiao turned around and saw Mrs. Huang still standing, and couldn't help shouting.
Huang snorted, hooked the two pieces of pork with his fingers, and walked away quickly.
When she walked away, Su Xiao let out a sigh and whispered: "It's weird, as if someone owes her two to five million silver."
Su Liu smiled, Huang was jealous, but compared to the two pieces of flesh on Huang's hand, they were only half a basket, so how could they not be jealous?
This is just the beginning, they will be even more jealous in the future.
"Let's go, mother should be waiting for us." Su Liu said softly.
When they returned to the small courtyard, Su Xiaobaba told him everything he saw when he met Mr. Huang at Butcher Zhao's stall.
"Mom, you haven't noticed. My grandma is jealous. Her eyes are shining when she sees the meat in our basket. She is even greedier than our Huang Mao." Su Xiao exaggeratedly said, Huang Mao is
The native dog brought by Su Xizi was very fond of meat and bones.
"You're talking nonsense again." Ms. Chen knocked her forehead and said angrily: "It's a good thing our house is in a remote area and not many people pass by. Otherwise, if someone listened to it, I don't know how much trouble it would cause."
Regarding her current home, Chen has gone from being afraid at the beginning to loving it now, a little too much, but the advantage is that it is quiet enough, and there is a stream behind it, so it is convenient to get water and so on. Even if she speaks louder, she is not afraid of people listening.
Gone.
Su Xiao stuck out her tongue and said, "Then I am also telling the truth."
Mrs. Chen looked at Su Liu, who smiled and said, "I guess Ke'er is very annoyed that my grandma is at home now!"
The mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed thinking about the scene where Huang was beating her heart with envy and hatred.
Su Liu guessed it right. Huang took two pieces of meat back to the Su family's old house and sat on the kang to sulk.
"You were fine when you went out. Who messed with you?" Mr. Su asked while sitting on the kang smoking a dry cigarette.
"Who else is there, other than the ones from Bei'aozi?" Huang snorted softly.
Mr. Su paused his hand and looked over.
"If I had known they were not well-raised, the rice of the past ten years would have been wasted. Just by raising a few white-eyed wolves, they have no conscience and no nature, waiting for the harvest." Huang crossed her legs and cursed viciously.
.
"A basket full of meat can't be eaten in ten days and a half. That damn girl Su Xiao is so fat. Oh, I dare you to grow taller by eating meat every meal. Pigs can't grow as fast as she does. Those who follow her are the most fat.
The mother who knows how to pretend to be a good person is not from the old Su family, and no one shows any respect to me when she sees me."
"That's right. Now that I'm rich, I still have eyes for you? Dream on! That copper plate, oh my god, it's like I don't need any money, so I just bought a basket of meat."
The more Huang talked, the more energetic and excited he became. His eyes were filled with coins given by Su Liu.
When they eat meat here, they have to pay for it. It's good for them, as if it's free of charge. Huang even suspects that the only thing on their table is meat.
Mr. Su listened to Huang's scolding and finally understood, and said: "You are asking for trouble. Now they have all split up and are living alone. They also earned this money by themselves. They can't spend it as they please."
they?"
"Bah, who knows how to earn it back? Who doesn't say that those men are running to them one after another? It requires two legs, the place is so remote, who knows a thing or two?" Huang said angrily.
.
These words were a bit sinister. Mr. Su said in a deep voice: "Other people are talking nonsense, so you are also guilty of it? I feel comfortable saying that? If you leave our house and you say the same thing, how can our family be well off?"
If you have long hair, you will lose your brain."
"Are they afraid of being criticized for what they did?" Huang was not to be outdone, but her voice was still a little softer. After all, she felt a little guilty.
"I won't tell you." Mr. Su didn't cut her but simply turned his back on her and said, "As soon as you buy the meat, start making it as soon as possible. At this moment, Matchmaker Wan will come with her."
When Mrs. Huang heard this, she got excited and called out "Ouch". She quickly got off the kang and walked quickly to the kitchen.
The main room became quiet again. Mr. Su was a little stunned. Thinking about what Huang had just said, he let out a long sigh and promised Chen and the boss to reconcile with Li. He was afraid that he had made a mistake.
