The powerful minister favors the small farmer's wife alone

Chapter 33
After dinner, Su Ling and Su Chang passed by.

Xu Zhixiang climbed up the ladder and looked around on the wall. He saw a middle-aged man teaching the brothers to recognize names from the roster at the beginning, and he sweated for the two of them. He was afraid that he would be driven back because he was slow in learning, which would be embarrassing. up.

Fortunately, those who teach are serious about teaching, and those who are learning are also serious about learning. From time to time, she can hear laughter from over there, and the relaxed atmosphere makes her feel at ease.

Su Xiaoye promised to mix pickles for Li Liu and the others, and it was over in the afternoon.

From time to time, he would come close to Su Ling and Su Chang, seeing that they were studying hard head to head, and knew that they had really put in their efforts.However, there are only fifty families in the whole village, and the roster only includes the name of the head of the family and a few members of the family, and everyone is familiar with it, so it shouldn't be difficult to remember.

Sure enough, when the two brothers came back in the evening, they had almost memorized the roster.

There are two rosters, and the two brothers memorize half of them, and teach each other to recognize the other half when they come back. When Su Laosan comes back from work, the two have already memorized the names of the people, and tomorrow they will be in charge of water distribution for the villagers. question.

Sitting at the table, looking at the big bowl of white rice porridge with diced ham, steamed buns and a plate of dry fried small river fish, Su Laosan was very surprised, "Where did you get the money to buy this?"

Xu Zhixiang said: "A few days ago when you went up the mountain, among the medicinal materials that the boss and the second dug up, there was a plant of Polygonum multiflorum, which was sold for more than a tael of silver. These days, I added a lot to the family."

Su Laosan immediately grinned happily, and heard that the two brothers' errands have been stabilized, and the fatigue on their bodies seems to have disappeared.I also heard that the two brothers found work in the city today. Although they only worked for half a day, the host gave them two meat buns.They were not willing to eat and brought them back to him, and almost shed tears from his tears.

So, I filled a bowl of porridge, packed two meat buns and a plate of dry fried small river fish and ran out the door.

Xu Zhixiang's face was ashen, her mouth was tightly pursed, and she didn't speak for a long time, obviously holding her breath.

Su Xiaoye also shook her head and was speechless. After a long time, she picked up her rice bowl and said, "Let's eat!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and shoveled the rice into his mouth, and the rest of the people followed suit, as if they regarded the food on the table as an enemy.

When Mr. Su came back from the Su's house with tears in his eyes, he still wanted to tell Xu Zhixiang what Mrs. Bai praised him for his filial piety, and then saw that the children had all gone back to the house, and Xu Zhixiang was already lying down facing the wall. It was empty, and the outside was even colder.

Su Laosan sighed in his heart: Oh, they must have thought that I ate all those porridge and buns. If they knew that I was still hungry to repair the relationship between the two, they would feel guilty, right?

Thinking that he wouldn't be hungry if he fell asleep, the youngest Su climbed onto the bed, and fell asleep with a smile on his lips, as if he had seen Mrs. Bai and his family enjoying themselves.

This morning, Su Laosan ate more than usual, and said while eating: "Yesterday when my mother was drinking porridge, she said that she hadn't eaten white porridge for a long time, and she hadn't tasted the meat in half a year. If you still have that meat at home, send some to her, she won't be able to eat a few meals when she gets old."

Xu Zhixiang put down the porridge bowl in his hand heavily, and looked at the youngest Su with a frown, "I have been married to you for almost 20 years. When did they eat meat, didn't they drive our family back to the woodshed? After all these years, The number of times our family eats meat can be counted with two slaps. Why didn’t you say how long it’s been since my children and I tasted meat? It’s rare for the children to earn some money. Seeing that I’m weak, let’s get some meat Come back and make up for me, and you still have to send it over there, your heart is in your armpit."
