Chapter 533 Want to have a good relationship with the Su family
Bai Lu felt very embarrassed.
She thought that since she couldn't serve hot tea, she had to at least boil some hot water so that the villagers who came to help could drink some water so that they wouldn't be thirsty. So she hurriedly asked her sons Xiaosi and Xiaowu to pick up some branches from the nearby forest.
After saying that, she added: "Just pick it up around our house, don't go far, you know?"
"Well," Su Xiaowu nodded, "Mom, don't worry, I'm here. I will protect my fourth brother and everything will be fine."
Su Xiaosi bumped him with his elbow, "What are you talking about? I am your brother, I should be the one protecting you."
Before leaving, Su Xiaowu specially brought the slingshot with him in case of emergency.
Two children carried two bags, walked into the forest, and picked up dead branches that were broken on the ground into the bags.
During this period, Su Xiaowu casually chatted and said: "Fourth brother, you were still doubting Jinbao's method before. Look, what she said is indeed right. We don't want work points. Those villagers have come to our house to help."
"Our sister is so amazing..."
Su Xiaosi sighed sincerely: "I didn't understand what she meant when she said retreating in order to advance, but now I understand. Sometimes it's not always a good idea to go head-on. Retreating is the way to advance."
"Yes, I was actually just as worried as you at the beginning. I was afraid that if we voluntarily gave up work points, those people would think we were easy to bully and make fun of us for not being able to do farm work. I didn't expect it to be different from what I thought. They are very nice people.
.”
The two brothers chatted with each other for a while, and the bags were full.
Just when Su Xiaosi was about to carry a bag full of branches home, a slowly moving stone on the ground attracted his attention. He thought he had seen it wrong and rubbed his eyes.
Again, it moved again...
"Xiao Wu, do you think that stone has moved?"
Su Xiaosi pointed to a stone not far away and said excitedly: "It's moving again, look!"
"It's really moving!" Su Xiaowu was also very surprised. He ran forward and found that it was not a stone, but a turtle.
Because the turtle's body is covered with a layer of dirt and dirty, the head, tail and four legs cannot be seen clearly, and the color of its shell is very close to that of a stone. From a distance, it looks like a moving stone.
"Wow! What a big turtle!" Su Xiaowu picked up the turtle, which weighed more than six kilograms.
As soon as he picked up the turtle, the turtle was frightened and immediately retracted its head, limbs and tail into its shell.
Su Xiaosi hurriedly put down the bag in his hand and said excitedly, "Let me hug you!"
"Here you go." Su Xiaowu handed the turtle to his fourth brother.
"It's the first time I've seen a living turtle. It's so interesting..."
Su Xiaosi said happily: "Let's take it back and show it to Jinbao. She will definitely find it very funny when she sees it."
While Su Xiaowu nodded, he thought to himself that this turtle is not only fun, but also delicious.
Thinking that he might be able to drink turtle soup at night, he couldn't help but swallow.
"Jinbao, mom, third brother, look, Xiao Wu and I picked this up! Jinbao..."
Su Xiaosi held the turtle in one hand and carried a bag of branches in the other. He saw that his father was back and was talking to the villagers who came to help at home. His voice became louder, "Dad, you are back? Look at what I picked up."
?Hahaha, it’s a turtle!”
Everyone else was attracted by Xiaosi's voice. Su Jianmin frowned in confusion, "What did you say you picked up just now?"
"A turtle! It looks like a stone from a distance. If I hadn't been sharp-eyed, I wouldn't have seen it move."
Su Xiaosi put the bag of branches aside, hugged the turtle and ran to his father.
Everyone else gathered at this time, and Jinbao and her mother also walked out of the house.
"Ah!" said one of the villagers, "such a big turtle has lived for at least more than ten years..."
"This tortoise is a great tonic!" said a person who had practiced traditional Chinese medicine for two years when he was young. "Nourishes yin and nourishes the kidneys, strengthens the body and longevity, nourishes the kidneys and bones, nourishes the deficiency and strengthens the body, nourishes the blood and nourishes the heart. In short, it is the best
Suitable for men to eat!”
After he finished speaking, the men present almost drooled at the turtle in Su Xiaosi's hand.
Listening to Su Xiaosi's detailed explanation of the process of picking up the turtle, their eyes showed envy.
"I collect sticks and firewood in that forest every day, and I have never seen a turtle."
"This turtle has lived for more than ten years, and we haven't even met it yet."
They looked at Su Xiaosi and said with envy: "Little brother, you are really lucky! You just came to our village for less than a day and you picked up a big turtle that has lived for more than ten years.
What good luck!”
"My fifth brother and I picked this up together." Su Xiaosi, who was praised by everyone, said a little embarrassedly.
In fact, he felt that he was so lucky this time, and 80% of the credit must go to Jin Bao...
But as soon as the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
It’s a secret that Jin Bao is a little lucky star!
It's okay for his family to know, but they can't let it slip to outsiders.
In the afternoon, Su Jianmin killed the turtle, bled it and stewed it in a basin with water. It simmered for several hours to make a nourishing turtle soup. He specially invited Luo Zhongqiang to drink the soup at home to thank him for his help these two days.
After that, people in the village said that the Su family was not very lucky. They could eat turtles that would lead to longevity when they first came to the village.
"I saw Aqiang drank the Su family's turtle soup, and his complexion became better. I wish I could drink it too. (I saw that Aqiang drank the Su family's turtle soup, and his complexion became better. If I could
It would be nice if I could drink it too).”
"By the way, you haven't been led by others before. (Why haven't you been led by others before?)"
In addition to saying that the Su family is lucky, the villagers also said that the Su family is rich. Otherwise, why would they not want work points?
The fact that Su Jianmin took a car to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town and bought home fifty kilograms of rice in one go indirectly confirmed their suspicions.
In order to establish a good relationship with the Su family, for several days in a row, people in the village always sent things to the Su family. Sometimes they sent a few vegetable seeds, sometimes they sent a few matches, although they were very cheap and cost less than a penny.
Something, but it is a piece of heart after all.
For this reason, Bai Lu would always thank her and invite people to come and sit at home.
But soon she discovered that the people who came to her home to deliver things were all young girls.
Their eyes followed the same direction invariably, which was where her third son Wennian was...
Before Wennian appeared, they would chat with themselves. Every time Wennian appeared, they would start to be in a trance and stare at Wennian, as if they wanted to talk to him but were too embarrassed to speak first.
