In mid-May, on a sunny day, Su Liu moved most of his belongings to a house in the county, except for some large pieces of furniture that were inconvenient to move, and loaded them into ten cars.
.
When Su Liu left, many people came to see her off. Su Xizi, who now lives not far from her home, took her son, who had just learned to walk, and brought her a large basket of hawthorn seeds.
Now that Su Xizi is a father, her former youthful reverie has long since faded away. He scratched his head and said to her: "Sister Liu'er, please come back and walk around more when you have free time."
Su Liu nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Xizi, Changping is not far from here. If you are not doing errands in the town, just go to the county to find me. I can always arrange something for you."
Su Xizi's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "Then brother thanked me."
Su Liu's business is doing well, and he has such style. It doesn't matter who he does errands for, it's better to just follow Su Liu, who might be able to get ahead in the future.
Su Liu smiled and said, "Thank you. You helped us mother and daughter a lot in the past." She lowered her head and saw Su Xizi's son biting a finger and looking at her with two dark eyes. She couldn't help but squat down.
He turned around and took out a silver bracelet from his sleeve, with a bell hanging on it, and shook it at him: "Little Tietou, call me."
Su Xizi's wife was a gentle and capable woman. When she saw this, she knelt down and said, "Tietou, call you Aunt Liu'er quickly, or she will leave."
"Aunt Liu'er." The little guy called out in a timid voice. Seeing Su Liu smile, he shyly hid in his mother's arms and looked at her with only one eye.
Su Liu let out a sigh of joy, handed over the silver bracelet, and said, "Aunt Liu'er gave this to you. You must listen to your mother's words."
"No way, girl, this is too expensive." Iron-headed Lady Kong waved her hands repeatedly.
"It's not worth the money. Brother Xizi helped us in the past. When Tietou was born, I was too busy and didn't give him a birthday gift. I'll make up for it this time and take it." Su Liu said with a smile.
Mrs. Kong looked at Su Xizi and saw him nodding, so she took it and said to Tietou: "Thank you, aunt."
"Thank you, auntie." Tietou obviously liked the bell bracelet and couldn't wait to grab it and play with it.
Su Liu said a few more words, then walked up to Su Jiang and the others and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll leave the family to you."
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you. You'll still be like this when you come back." Su Jiang said, patting her chest carelessly.
Su Liu smiled slightly, turned around and saw Su Qingxiang standing over there, looking hesitant to speak. He couldn't help but sigh softly and walked over.
When Su Qingxiang saw her coming, he showed a somewhat flattering smile and said, "Liu'er, are you seriously not going to see your grandpa? He...hey."
"I'm not going." Su Liu shook his head and walked with him for a few steps, avoiding people behind him, then took out a bag from his sleeve and handed it over.
"this?"
"There are fifty taels here, which is the last bit of filial piety that our sisters have shown to the old man. Uncle, you can help collect it. The old man's medicine expenses and other expenses will come from this. But I can't give them to them, so I will take care of you, uncle."
, I don’t know how much of this was used on the old man." Su Liu lowered his voice and said.
Su Qingxiang's eyes widened in astonishment. He pinched the bag and felt the contents inside. He felt a lot of discomfort in his heart and his eye circles were slightly red. He said: "Good boy, you are a sentient being. That is to say, they were blinded by lard. Good luck."
My granddaughter, just like that..."
"Uncle, let's not say these words. It's like this now. It's pointless to say it again. I can trust your uncle's character. Don't use this money unless it is absolutely necessary. It should be used as an emergency. Don't do it either.
If you say I gave it to you, just treat it like you borrowed it from them. Sometimes, some things are too easy to get, but you are not satisfied." Su Liu said calmly.
Su Qingxiang didn't know what she meant, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know the severity."
Su Liu smiled, took out another ingot from his sleeve, stuffed it into his hand and said: "Speaking of which, we sisters have not fulfilled our filial piety to our uncle. These ten taels of silver are not much. Even if we sisters give him filial piety,
Uncle's."
"This, this is impossible."
Su Qingxiang was really shocked this time. It would be reasonable to say that the fifty taels Su Liu gave to Mr. Su and the others were due to blood ties, but he was just a cousin.
Ten taels of silver, how can we not be surprised?
"That's right, we still rely on our uncle to take care of us here!" Su Liu put it in his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is our filial piety to you and your grandma, and you can keep it for yourself. Here it is.
Sun Zi has children and grandchildren, and he must let them go out and run around, and only then can they become talented."
Su Qingxiang's heart was shaken. Looking at the grandniece in front of him, he suddenly thought of a word, wise as foolish, this girl is smart. If she is a man, why worry about the family not being prosperous? What a pity, the old house has missed a pearl!
He let out a long sigh and said, "The Su family has missed a good granddaughter like you."
Su Liu frowned and smiled lightly, lowering her head and saying nothing.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Su Liu got on the carriage, took a look at the place where he had lived for sixteen years, sighed and said, "Let's go."
The carriage rumbled forward, and after a short while, it stopped again.
"What's the matter?" Su Liu opened his eyes.
"Girl, this is the uncle of the Su family." Xueluo glanced at her and said softly.
Su Liu closed his eyes again and said, "Let someone drive him away. It's getting late. I'm afraid my wife will be too anxious to wait."
Xueluo responded, got out of the car and came back quickly. The carriage started moving again, but when Su Liu heard Su Changsheng's shouting, he couldn't help but snorted, and simply lay down on the carriage and fell asleep.
Su Changsheng looked at the carriage going away and stood on the roadside with a cane. He felt empty in his heart. He just felt that it was very cold this summer.
Su Qingxiang came to the old house. Now the old house is divided into two. The yard on Su Changsheng's side is quiet. Because Su Changsheng owed gambling debts, the Zhou family paid off the six acres of land they were allocated. This has long been the case.
There were no valuable things left. The big house had a large population, and Su Changsheng was crippled and imprisoned. How could an orphan and a widower live without land? Su Qingxiang asked Mr. Su what they wanted, and he decided to move the old house
The three acres of land over there were given to them for farming, and with the body that Zhou secretly grabbed, although they were poor, they would not be unable to survive.
But three acres of land is nothing, especially Su Jinquan's temperament. If they hadn't helped to clear up the land, I'm afraid three acres of land wouldn't be able to grow well. Now that Su Changsheng is back,
That is to say, they are arguing every day and have not made up their minds to live a good life. The boss is afraid that this house will really fail.
Su Qingxiang let out a long sigh and walked into the house with his hands behind his back.
The courtyard was very quiet. Only Fusheng's wife was sitting on the porch holding the soles of her shoes. When she saw him coming, she stood up and said a few greetings. When she learned that Mr. Huang had gone to kowtow outside, Su Qingxiang went into the room where Mr. Su was.
room.
Entering the house, Su Qingxiang frowned. There was a strange sour smell in the house. The windows were closed tightly. Mr. Su was lying on the kang, with one hand tremblingly reaching towards the water cup beside him.
He touched it, but because he was not strong enough or for some reason, he swept the water cup to the ground.
Su Qingxiang hurriedly walked over to pick it up and said, "Do you need some water?"
Seeing him coming, Mr. Su moved his fingers. Su Qingxiang went to the table and poured him a glass of water, lifted him up and leaned against the wall, fed him and drank, then climbed onto the kang and opened the window for ventilation.
Just sat on the edge.
Mr. Su drank water and his complexion became better. When he looked at Su Qingxiang, tears flowed from his eyes.
After being paralyzed by a stroke, Mr. Su could neither speak nor move. His personality also changed greatly. He would shed tears at every turn, which was heartbreaking to watch.
"Okay, why did you drop the golden beans again?" Su Qingxiang grabbed the handkerchief on the side and wiped his tears, sighing: "Don't cry anymore, I know you are unwilling to do so, but what can I do?
?It’s all about fate, isn’t it?”
Mr. Su stopped crying after crying for a while and asked him with his eyes, why are you here?
Su Qingxiang first looked out the window and lowered his voice: "I'm here to tell you not to be too sad. Although Liu Yatou is cruel on the outside, she still remembers you in her heart." With that, he said
He told Su Liu about the money he had entrusted to him.
After saying this, he saw Mr. Su shed tears again, and he couldn't help but frown and said: "Why are you crying? It's such a happy thing. That girl is a sentient being, so you are lucky. It's a pity, alas."
Mr. Su naturally knew what he meant by pity. It was just that such a good granddaughter was kicked out by them. Otherwise, why would the family be so torn apart?
If I could have been kinder to the three of them, and not resented the fact that the girl was born with six fingers, maybe everything would have been different!
I regret it!
Mr. Su cried because he was regretful and uncomfortable, and mixed with some unspeakable complex emotions. Now that things have happened, what's the use of regretting anymore?
"Third brother, you also know what kind of temper your siblings are, as well as Changsheng and the others. If you know this money and you are like this now, how can you keep it? Don't worry, I won't be greedy for this money. I will give you this money."
Hey, your chewing medicine expenses and everything else come from this." Su Qingxiang sighed.
As he said this, Huang's cursing voice came from outside the house again, and he also scolded Su Liu for being ungrateful. He left without saying anything.
Su Qingxiang gave Mr. Su a look that you must have seen. If this money fell into Huang's hands, how would there be any money left?
Mr. Su was also heartbroken, so he winked at Mr. Su, indicating that he understood. He naturally knew that this cousin was a good person, and it was better to give the money to him than to his old wife. If Su Changsheng knew about it, he might do it again.
What kind of evil moth is happening!
From then on, Su Qingxiang asked Su Jiangshi to make some delicious food from time to time and bring it to Mr. Su. Although Huang was strange, he only thought that Su Jiangshi was embarrassed for taking advantage of Su Liu's house, so he sent it to Mr. Su.
After the good meat and vegetables came over, I felt at ease.
