Chapter 192
Inside the East House.
After several days of traveling, Su Dashan, who was already exhausted, lay on the kang and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
Not only him, but also Su Qingshu.
He sat up and turned his head to look at Su Dashan beside him.
"Father, what did you think about what Fat Miao'er said, can our family..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, Su Dashan already understood what he wanted to express.
So he turned his head around, put his hands under his head, and said: "I just thought about it, if there are a few acres of land for us to plant, as long as the year is not bad, we can support our big family."
"In summer, dig wild vegetables and make wild vegetable dumplings, which can save food, and catch a few chickens to raise. In winter, they kill them and sell them in the town for money."
"When you have nothing to do, you three brothers can also go to the town's wharf to do coolies. I heard from the villagers that if you work a lot, you can earn ten yuan a day."
"Besides, now that the third child is the deputy envoy of the Hebo Office and in charge of the pier, he can take care of it more or less."
Su Dashan's voice was unhurried, slowly talking about his vision for the future.
"Father, the three of us are good at work, and we can even go to the mountains to chop firewood and sell it in winter."
Su Qingshu was also thinking about ways to make money.
In the mountains in winter, they envy the lives of people outside the mountains, relying on the county town, relying on the town, as long as they have the strength, they will not be hungry.
Unlike the people in the mountains, there is no place to sell the prey, and the trees can only be used as firewood by themselves.
"Father, I want to stay."
At this moment, Su Qingfeng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, expressing his position in one sentence.
It is not a suggestion, not a prayer, nor a discussion, but a desire that goes straight to the bottom of my heart.
Su Dashan didn't speak, apparently still hesitating.
"Father, we can still take care of Fat Miao'er if we stay here, and we can see the younger sister from time to time. The family always has a connection, unlike the older sister..."
Speaking of this, Su Qingmu's voice suddenly choked up, as if thinking of Su Qingmei who had passed away.
It was because of the distance that they got the letter long after Su Qingmei died of dystocia, and they didn't even see each other for the last time.
"Father, I don't want to wait until my sister gets married, and I will never see her again."
Su Qingmu's voice was full of sadness. The saddest thing in the world is parting from life to death. From the mountains to the outside, it is difficult for a married woman to return to her mother's house in this life. It is no different from a divorce.
"Second you..."
Su Dashan was speechless, Su Qingmu's words pierced his heart, and things that he didn't want to think about or dared to think about before slowly surfaced in his mind.
They go to marry their daughters outside the mountains. To put it mildly, the journey is far away and everything is kept simple. To put it harshly, it is no different from selling a girl.
After receiving the dowry money, the kind-hearted would be brought back with a piece of cloth, and the bad-hearted would be dressed in rags to cover their last decency.
Su Dashan's expression gradually became tougher, and he stood up abruptly.
"Stay, let's stay!"
For the sake of the future of the Su family, he can only give up his old face and trouble Fat Miao'er and the others.
After a while.
Inside the hall.
Su Dashan told Fat Miao'er, Compass and others about this decision.
"Great, great, grandpa finally figured it out."
Fat Miao'er laughed happily, and threw herself into Su Dashan's arms with a stride.
Su Dashan hurriedly supported him, coughed lightly and joked: "I haven't seen you in winter, you little chubby cat is getting fat again."
"really?"
Fat Miao'er was overjoyed, stretched out her white, tender and fleshy little wrist, turned around and looked carefully, but she didn't realize that she was getting fat.
But since everyone said she was fat, she must have gained weight.
Fat Miao'er was very happy and couldn't wait to say: "Grandpa, quickly write to Grandma and Auntie, and let them come over."
"You don't have to worry about where you live, we can borrow at Uncle Yong's house first, and wait for the new house to be built..."
"No rush, no rush."
Before Fat Miao'er finished speaking, Su Dashan raised his hand to interrupt.
"We'll work here, settle down, and when it's stable, we'll write to your grandma."
Otherwise, it would be really inconvenient for a large family of young and old, especially with a few children in tow.
"That's fine too."
Fat Miao'er nodded. It is indeed a bit urgent to come here now. After another two months, everything will be on the right track, and it will not be too late to move the family.
"There's one more thing we need to discuss in advance."
Su Dashan straightened his body and looked at Fat Miao'er with a serious face.
"Fifteen acres of land can't be divided into four or six. Let's divide it fifty-fifty according to the rules of tenants in the town. If you don't agree, then we won't tenant this land, and then go back to the mountains to hunt."
Those who eat, drink, and live in Fat Miao'er, Su Dashan really doesn't want to take advantage of Fat Miao'er and others in the field.
"This, okay!"
Fat Miao'er pursed her lips, then thought about agreeing.
"Okay, that's it."
Su Dashan heaved a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed.
The next day.
Su Dashan first took his son and daughter to visit his in-laws Zhou's house, visited his grandson, and had a meal.
As soon as he came back, the old Hu family who heard the news came to the door with a matchmaker.
There were quite a few people who came this time, not only Hu's father, Hu's mother, Hu Lichun, Hu Lidong, but also Hu Lichun's wife, and the married Hu Lixia and Hu Liqiu also rushed back to their natal home.
The Wuyangyang family joined hands to visit the door, directly flattering Su Dashan's family.
"Oh dear, I'm finally looking forward to you!"
Mother Hu beamed with enthusiasm, her eyes must have hurriedly walked to Su Qingxing's side, took her hand and kept stroking it.
"This is Xing'er, she looks really handsome, she really is a good girl, our Lidong family is blessed."
"Big, aunt..."
Su Qingxing's voice was small, as light and thin as a mosquito.
It was the first time she was praised for her good looks, and she was very shy, her face turned red all of a sudden, her head was lowered, and she didn't dare to look at the people in the house.
"Look, look, the kid is blushing."
Seeing that Su Qingxing was shy, Mother Hu laughed more cheerfully, and joked: "What kind of aunt do you still call me? In a few days, we will be a family. You should call me mother instead."
"Mother is looking forward to this little daughter-in-law so much that she is going crazy." Hu Liqiu followed with a joke.
"of course."
Mother Hu recognized it directly, and patted Su Qingxing's hand.
"I'm looking forward to it day and night, and I hope that my Xing'er will marry soon and give birth to our old Hu's family and carry on the family line."
Hu's mother was overjoyed, and the room was full of her laughter.
After a few breaths, Hu Lixia quickly called him to stop.
"Okay mother, you are too ashamed to speak without looking at Xing'er, let's get down to business."
"Yes, yes, it's important, it's important."
Mother Hu stopped talking and turned to look at Su Dashan.
"Dear family, we are here this time to give a fixed gift..."
