So no one raised their head and called Su Sanlang.
Su Sanlang didn't care either, but Brother Shun, the youngest son of the eldest brother's family, suddenly lost his temper, threw away the lawnmower in his hand, and called Su Sanlang angrily: "Third uncle, why don't you stop working, eldest brother and second brother?"
Why don't you work? Why can they play but I can't?"
Su Chong and Su Hua have not worked for the past two days, so they can play at home.
In Su Shun's opinion, cleaning wells and digging out mud is just fun.
Su Dalang walked over in a few steps, slapped his youngest son Su Shun in the face and said, "You are yelling at me, hurry up and cut it for me. Do you still want to eat delicious rice?"
Su Shun received a slap, not to mention how wronged he was. He was not Su Chong or Su Hua and could endure it. He was very unconvinced and his face turned red with anger. He wanted to cry but was slapped again.
Su Sanlang paused when he heard the shouting, but soon he left without looking back. He was already heartbroken for that home.
My father and brother didn't want to talk to me, probably because they were afraid that he would be shameless and go to help me and ask for food.
Su Sanlang left without looking back. Su Shun was still sniffling and asked Mr. Su unwillingly: "Sir, dad beat me. I didn't do anything wrong. Third uncle obviously didn't work anymore."
Mr. Su said sternly: "Your third uncle's family has been separated. From now on, if there is no third uncle in the family, don't call him him in the future. Stay away from those two fools. Next year I will send you and Brother Qing away."
Go to school, don't talk to those two idiots or you will be fooled."
"You and Brother Qing should study hard and gain honors in the future to help us, the old Su family, glorify our ancestors."
Mr. Su had high hopes for his two grandsons and was determined to send them to school.
Su Erlang pulled his son Su Qing beside him with his hand: "Brother Qing, make an oath to your father."
Su Qing immediately stood up straight, looked at Mr. Su with dignity and said to him: "Sir, I swear that I will study hard and work hard to gain fame."
Su Dalang didn't want to lose to his brother, so he pulled Su Shun, who was still sniffling: "Brother Shun, you also swear an oath to your father."
Su Shun was still angry, but seeing his father's gloomy face, he thought he would be beaten if he didn't say anything, so he followed Su Qing's example and swore.
Mr. Su nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, I believe in you, just work hard."
Without the burden of three bedrooms at home, work becomes even more tiring.
The effect has obviously declined in the past two days, so only Wang and Li are left to cook at home, so everyone has to go to the fields, and Li and Zhou alternate each day.
Last night, Mrs. Wang was still talking to Mr. Su, if she had known, she would have waited for the autumn harvest to be over before dividing the third room. As she was talking, she couldn't help scolding Mrs. Zhao again for insisting on giving birth at this time.
Mr. Su didn't feel good at all. He had been paying attention to what was going on there in the past few days.
Seeing that Su Sanlang had renovated the roof and was now the master of the house, he felt uncomfortable.
But if he feels uncomfortable, he still has to continue his life at home. By giving out the third bedroom, he is getting rid of the burden, so the family will get better and better.
——
The matter of meeting his parents was quickly forgotten by Su Sanlang. He had only one goal, which was to cut weeds.
Generally, after the autumn harvest is over, many people will cut some to take home and use it to repair the cowsheds at home. This is the time of year when the weeds are at their best, and it’s time for Su Sanlang to catch up.
He cut a large piece, and when he saw Old Man Wu coming down from the mountain, he smiled and said hello: "Doctor Wu, go and collect herbs."
Old man Wu glanced at Su Sanlang and recognized him. When he came to Su Sanlang's side, he simply sat down and rested. He said, "How is your wife?"
Su Sanlang said gratefully: "She is much better. She has been taking medicine these past few days and her complexion has improved."
Old man Wu looked at the grass that Su Sanlang had cut and said, "I heard that you are renovating the old house these days, and you will cut all the weeds."
Su Sanlang touched his head in embarrassment: "Yes, I can't help it either."
Old Man Wu smiled: "What's the shame? This is originally ownerless. Anyone can cut it off. Anyone can take it away if they want. I'm just kidding."
When Su Sanlang mows the grass, the people in the village are indeed a little bit sour, which means that after a while, they will have to go farther away if they want.
Su Sanlang touched his head, not knowing what to say.
After resting, Old Man Wu picked up his backpack and said, "Come to my house in the evening and I'll give you some mosquito-proof herbs. Crush it and sprinkle some on it when laying the grass, so that your thatched roof can be used for several years."
No insects."
Su Sanlang was immediately overjoyed: "This, this is great, thank you Doctor Wu."
After thanking him, Su Sanlang was a little embarrassed: "But, but I don't have money to give..."
Old Man Wu snorted coldly and walked away without looking back. His arrogant voice reached Su Sanlang's ears.
"Who asked you for money? It's just a few dollars. I don't care about it, old man."
Although Old Man Wu is old, he walks steadily and quickly.
Su Sanlang was happy and moved, and shouted to the back of old man Wu: "Dr. Wu, thank you."
With anti-mosquito herbs, his roof does not need to be renovated every year.
This was the second person to give him help in the nick of time.
After Old Man Wu left, Su Sanlang immediately continued to cut the grass. When he was almost done, he picked it up twice more and took it home.
As for the well at home, all the stinky mud had been dug out by the three children. The sediment at the bottom could already be seen, and the water flowing out changed from black to yellow. As long as it rests a little longer, the water will become clear.
While Su Sanlang was cooking, he asked Su Sanmei to go to Old Man Wu to get medicine.
When he got it back, Su Sanlang found that the medicine was all ground, and he made a mental note of Old Man Wu's kindness.
After simple tying, Su Sanlang climbed up to the roof, sprinkled a circle of herbs, and asked Su Sanmei and her three brothers to pass the herbs together to thicken the roof by two layers.
Now, he felt at ease that the roof renovation could be completed.
After letting the three children wash up and go to bed, Su Sanlang also went back to the house and slept peacefully.
August 15th is a sunny day, and this day is also the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the village, the aroma of meat wafts from every household. The Mid-Autumn Festival symbolizes reunion. After working hard for a long time during the autumn harvest, it is rare to have some leisure time.
Su Sanlang also cut an extra piece of meat for cooking. The rice at home was still ground Jinyu sticks and rice, and the meat was cut into cubes for soup.
I ate part of the green vegetable leaves when we separated a few days ago, and dried the other part and stored them for eating.
The roof that worries him most has been renovated, so he can start digging the ground to grow vegetables.
In the morning, Su Sanlang took his three children to clean the well. With him there, the well was quickly cleaned and the water was clear. Su Sanlang looked at the mud that had been cleaned up and found that a lot of it had dried up.
, the weeds have also been cleared away.
"Dad, come and see."
At this time, Su Sanmei's exclamation came from the chicken pen.
