Chapter 5 Lessons

  Su Xiaoxiao put the sweet potato cakes in the steamer of the big pot, brought a pot of dirty clothes and went to the river behind the village.

   This is a running water that flows through several villages. On weekdays, everyone comes here to wash and wash rice.

   It's a bright day, but there are already a lot of people who come to wash clothes.

   Everyone watched Fatya Su appear here with a wooden basin, and they all went to hell!

  How could this lazy woman get up early to work? Are they blinded, or is the sun coming out of the west!

   No, Fatty Su must have come to corrupt money!

   The eyes of everyone showed a look of horror, and before Su Xiaoxiao approached, they swarmed the buckets and ran away!

  Su Xiaoxiao shrugged helplessly and found a place to squat by the river.

  In ancient times, there was no industrial pollution, the water source was clean and crystal clear, and even the air you breathed was refreshing.

  Su Xiaoxiao took out the clothes, spread them on a large stone, smeared them with soap horns and rubbed them clean, then used a wooden stick to knock the soap horns out of the clothes, washed them with clean water, and so on.

   After washing a basin of clothes, Su Xiaoxiao was sweating all over.

  Su Xiaoxiao carried the wooden basin and walked back, and happened to meet Xiao Wu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu Shan family, walking towards the river with a basin of clothes.

  Xiao Wu also saw her, and shivered with fright. The wooden stick in the basin fell, and it happened to fall at Su Xiaoxiao's feet.

   Xiao Wu was so frightened that he wanted to pick it up but didn't dare to pick it up.

  Su Xiaoxiao freed one hand and bent down to pick up the wooden stick and hand it over.

   Xiao Wu hurriedly closed his eyes!

   bang bang.

   The imagined pain did not come.

  Xiao Wu opened his eyes tremblingly, looked at the wooden stick in the basin, and turned around in disbelief.

   "Just, just... gone?"

  …

  Su's family, the three small beans woke up.

  Su Ergou is going to sleep until the sun rises, so does Su Cheng. As for Wei Ting, he is seriously ill and is still in a coma.

  No one dressed the three little peas, they went down to the ground barefoot.

   They walked around the house, but none of the adults could wake up.

   At this time, the sound of the child's wailing came from the next door, and the three of them walked out curiously.

   The Liu Shan family lives next door.

  The eldest daughter-in-law, Xiao Wu, went to do the laundry, and it was Niudan, the son of the second daughter-in-law, He, who was yelling.

   Niudan is seven years old this year and is the only grandson of the Liu family.

   "Mother! Dress me up!"

   "Alright, alright, wait a moment, let your father drink the medicine first."

  Daddy Niu Dan went to the fish pond to dig lotus root a few days ago, and the doctor prescribed some herbs to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

   The three little peas stood on tiptoes, lay on the windowsill, and stared blankly at the family.

   Niudan had already seen the three small beans, and knew that they were the new little oil bottles from the Su family, so he looked down on them.

   He stuck out his tongue in disgust: "Slightly! Kill you all!"

   "Come down!" Mr. He patted his son's buttocks, pressed his son on the bed and sat down, took his clothes and put them on one by one.

   "Mother, I want to eat sugar water eggs!" Niu Dan said.

   "Okay! I'll make it for you!" Mr. Ho said.

   There are many daughters in the family, but she has a baby in her stomach, and the whole family pampers them. Not to mention a sugar-sweetened egg, two are also affordable.

   Cow Egg is holding the egg in syrup made by his mother, and eating three small diced beans while eating it across the windowsill.

   When Su Xiaoxiao arrived home with a wooden tub, what she saw was the scene of the triplets watching the eggs and eating.

   The three of them were barefoot and thinly dressed.

  Su Xiaoxiao frowned, put down the wooden basin and walked over.

   Niudan immediately stopped being arrogant when he saw Su Fatya, turned around and ran away.

  Su Xiaoxiao brought the three little ones home and gave them clothes and shoes.

   The three are thinner than expected.

   It doesn't look like Wei Ting and their clothes can't afford to eat. How can he be so thin?

   "Are you hungry?" she asked.

   The three little peas nodded.

   "I'll go get you something to eat." Su Xiaoxiao entered the stove.

  The three little peas followed in a gulp, staring straight at the eggs in the basket.

   "Want to eat this?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

   The three nodded.

  Su Xiaoxiao beat three eggs in sugar water, one for each person.

   The stove house had just been lit, and it was warmer than the main room. Su Xiaoxiao brought a small bench and let the three sit in the stove house to eat.

  She went to Wei Ting's house and woke him up: "It's time to take medicine."

   Wei Ting opened his eyes dazedly.

  Su Xiaoxiao helped him up and fed him anti-inflammatory and hematoma-removing medicines.

   Wei Ting didn't want to eat for a while, so he fell asleep again.

   This scene was watched by the three little peas who were peeking at the door.

   They remembered the woman they saw at the house next door this morning.

  The woman feeds the cow egg daddy with medicine, dresses the cow egg, and makes sugar water eggs for the cow egg.

   Niudan called her mother.

  …

   Su Xiaoxiao went to bark Su Ergou and asked him to look after the children and patients at home, she had to go to town.

   Although Su Cheng went to the town yesterday, he is a big man, and he doesn't know how to live a careful life. The first thing he did when he robbed some money was not to buy rice and noodles for his family, but to buy snacks for his daughter.

  The dim sum spent most of the money, and there were less than two hundred cents left.

   As the New Year is approaching and prices are rising, two hundred dollars is enough for a family to eat three mouthfuls, not to mention four more mouths at home.

   Gotta find a way to make money.

   was thinking about it, when suddenly there was a stern sound from diagonally ahead.

   "Su Fatya!"

Well?

   What's your surname?

  He Tongsheng, whose real name is He Jian, is the third of the six sons of the He family.

   After repenting of his marriage yesterday, Ergou said that he fled to the town, but he did not expect to meet him at the market entrance today.

   There were two young men dressed as scholars standing beside him, who should be his classmates.

  He Tongsheng came over angrily, and said with great disgust: "Su Fatya, you are enough! Don't let your ghosts go!"

  Su Xiaoxiao frowned: "You think I'm here to find you?"

  He Tongsheng asked coldly, "Isn't it?"

   "Yes." Su Xiaoxiao nodded and stretched out her hand lightly.

  He Tongsheng stepped back like a snake and scorpion: "What are you doing?"

  Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "The betrothal gift, you won't just regret the marriage and not return the betrothal gift, right?"

"you!"

"What are you? I warn you, don't talk to me about those who have or not. You have to touch a couple of hands to get the money when you go to the brothel. I didn't go to the church with you, and I didn't go to your wedding room. You Don't think about relying on a copper plate!"

  He Tong is so angry!

   This fat woman... actually compares him to a little girl in a brothel!

   It's utterly hateful!

   But, he has already spent part of the money!

  Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "If you don't pay it back, you can only see you at the yamen."

  He Tongsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid of losing face if you make trouble with the yamen for this kind of thing?"

  Su Xiaoxiao asked: "What is the face, can I eat it? Besides, isn't it you who is embarrassed? You received the bride price, and you promised the marriage."

  He Tongsheng blushed: "I was deceived by a matchmaker—"

  Su Xiaoxiao looked at him coldly.

   "It's in vain that you have read books on sages and sages for so many years, have you read them all in the belly of a dog? A country matchmaker can deceive you, but if you don't have a brain, you can't be fooled!"

   "I think you should stop studying! Go home and farm! The water in your head might be able to pour two acres of land!"

   Looking for a wave of recommended tickets and five-star praise, mua! (*╯3╰)
