Doctor Wu was so kind to his family before he left. Su Sanlang was indescribably moved in his heart. How could he be so virtuous and capable of accepting such a great kindness from Doctor Wu?
I don't know if I will ever have the chance to repay such kindness in this life.
Su Sanlang felt a little melancholy. He clenched the piece of paper and said firmly: "My dear, Doctor Wu, we can't take these things for free. We will keep them temporarily and count how much meat and grain we have. We will often exchange them for new ones."
Wait until Dr. Wu comes back one day, and these things will be returned to him in full."
Maybe Dr. Wu will be back in a few months.
You can't be a person without conscience. Doctor Wu helped them so much. This kindness cannot be forgotten. Now that Doctor Wu is away from home, they will keep these things temporarily and return them to him when he comes back.
"Okay, I think so too."
Mrs. Zhao nodded. She would feel bad if she took these things for nothing. Even if Doctor Wu left the paintings and said they would give them to them, they couldn't take them for nothing. They could keep them temporarily and return them to him when he comes back, so that they would feel comfortable.
Su Sanlang and Mrs. Zhao estimated the weight of the rice grains and counted the bacon.
Fifty pounds of rice, seven pieces of bacon, six chickens, and three ducks.
After remembering it, I put away the rice and hung the bacon above the stove, so that it could be smoked from time to time to ensure that the bacon would not go bad.
After putting all these away, Zhao and Su Sanlang started to make dinner.
Su Sanmei carried Su Xiaolu on her back and took her two brothers to catch insects and feed them to the chickens.
After a while, Su Hua grabbed a plump earthworm and said, "Sister, I caught one."
Su Sanmei smiled slightly and said, "Second brother is so awesome."
Su Hua was very happy, and her red face was full of energy.
Su Chong also struggled to find it, and after a while he said happily: "Sister, I caught it too."
Su Sanmei also smiled and said: "Big brother is so awesome, awesome."
While Su Sanmei smiled and praised, she silently put an earthworm into the paper bag. This area was a place where she often washed and poured water. Since the little sister stopped using diapers, there were not as many bugs in the ground as before.
The vegetable plot that can be leached out with manure water will be green and beautiful.
Su Sanmei secretly thought that it must be because Fourth Sister's body smelled so good that bugs liked to drink her bath water.
Her fourth sister must be a fairy daughter. When her father and mother go into the mountains, she often prays. If the fourth sister is a fairy, she will bless her father and mother to come back safely. Although her father and mother are injured, Su Sanmei believes that her fourth sister
He must have tried his best.
Therefore, she kept her word and treated Su Xiaolu better from then on.
After catching insects and feeding all the chickens and ducks, Mrs. Zhao also called them to have dinner.
There is still meat to eat in the evening.
After eating, Ms. Zhao gently washed the children's faces, gave the new clothes to Su Chong and Su Hua and said, "Brother Chong, brother Hua, you can wear new clothes when you get up tomorrow."
Su Chong and Su Hua were very happy, smiling with their eyebrows crescent and their eyes sparkling.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but kissed her two sons' foreheads before letting them go to sleep.
After her two sons returned to their room, Mrs. Zhao went back and took out Su Sanlang and Su Sanmei's new clothes. Even Su Xiaolu also had new clothes.
Su Sanlang compared his clothes and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the New Year, and our family will all wear new clothes."
The Zhao family also had one, which Su Sanlang strongly insisted on.
Mrs. Zhao smiled and nodded.
Su Sanmei leaned next to Su Xiaolu, kissed Su Xiaolu on the cheek and whispered to Su Xiaolu: "Fourth sister, I will wear my new clothes tomorrow, okay?"
Su Xiaolu smiled slightly at Su Sanmei and uttered a single sound of "Ah woo".
Her third sister was really kind to her from the bottom of her heart.
This third sister always believed that she had blessed her parents and brothers when they came back, so she also expressed her gratitude through actions.
Su Xiaolu's heart was sore and swollen. Zhao's hands and Su Sanlang's eyes were not getting better. She didn't know if her vow had come true. She felt that she should fulfill her wish.
Save a hundred evil people, right? She will do it, but she will not violate her principles as a human being.
There should be righteousness in this world, so it is okay to save evil people, but they must also be sent to see officials.
On Su Xiaolu's right was Su Sanmei, and on the left was Zhao. Zhao's gentle hands patted her gently, and Su Xiaolu fell asleep quickly.
the next morning.
The family got up wearing new clothes, and Zhao and Su Sanlang got busy, stewing bones, frying meat, steaming steamed buns, and cooking rice.
Su Sanmei, on the other hand, took her two brothers and carried Su Xiaolu on her back to catch insects and feed them to the chickens and ducks.
When the rice is ready, the whole family sits together and enjoys the New Year's dinner warmly.
This year passed peacefully like this.
As the new year passes, the cold days pass quickly.
January passed peacefully, and after entering February, everything revived, all kinds of wild flowers gradually bloomed, and the trees grew green branches.
The weather is gradually getting warmer. At the end of February, Su Sanlang and his family are busy sowing rice. Naturally, those few acres of land must be planted.
Su Sanlang and Zhao took Su Chong and Su Hua to the fields, and Su Sanmei also started to catch insects in the fields and crabs or insects in the river.
The villagers also gradually became familiar with Su Sanlang's family.
Today, many people passed by with their children to say hello to Su Sanlang. All they talked about was about enrollment. Su Chong and Su Hua were really curious. They endured it for a while before asking: "Dad, what is enrollment?"
Su Sanlang lowered his eyes and replied in a dry voice: "It's just learning knowledge."
"Then what is knowledge?"
Su Chong and Su Hua were still puzzled.
Zhao's eyes were already red, and she spoke with choked sobs: "Brother Chong, Brother Hua, are you hungry? Let's go eat a steamed bun."
Her two sons will never learn what knowledge is in this life.
Mrs. Zhao was heartbroken. She diverted the attention of the two children. Now the family could have enough food. Su Chong and Su Hua also ate more and grew taller, but their minds remained still.
After listening to Mrs. Zhao's words, they went to get steamed buns to eat, and even asked Su Sanmei to share some with her.
There were wounds in Su Sanmei's eyes. She ate the steamed buns, occasionally tearing a little bit and giving it to Su Xiaolu. Su Sanmei sighed and whispered to Su Xiaolu: "Fourth sister, it would be great if I were a boy, then I could take the place of Su Xiaolu."
My brother is going to study and get ahead, so I will definitely work hard, but it’s a pity that I’m a girl and can’t go to school.”
The Great Zhou Kingdom was as feudal as in ancient times. Only men went to school, and women cooked, washed and worked at home.
The Zhou Kingdom has enjoyed peace and prosperity for nearly a hundred years, and the people are willing to send their children and grandchildren to school. Basically, they go to school for enlightenment at the age of eight. This year, more than ten children from Nanshan Village went to a school in Bajiao Village next door.
Su Sanmei was very envious, but she also knew that it was not something she should have extravagant thoughts about, so the idea only popped up for a moment and then disappeared.
