The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 60 Thrilling
Before leaving, Mrs. Li told Su's mother again, "Zhen'er, it's you who are thinking about the child, and you must listen to Mother's persuasion."

"Ling'er, these days I've seen that the cabbage in the field is growing strong. You suggested to plant the cabbage at the beginning. Now we sell it or what? I'm afraid that if we don't deal with it, it will rot in the field. It's a waste." During dinner, Father Su thought that all the cabbages he saw in the field today would be harvested, and he even cut a few back, but Su Ho doesn't like cabbage very much, so there is no cabbage on the dinner table tonight .

"Is it ready?" Su Ling asked.

"Well, it will be collected in a few days." Father Su replied.

"I'll go to the field tomorrow to have a look. I have an idea about the cabbage, so you don't have to worry about it, Mom and Dad." Su Ling was still thinking about making Chinese cabbage into sauerkraut!At that time, it can be eaten with porridge, and it can be cooked with other dishes. For example, in modern times, there are sauerkraut duck and sauerkraut pork. Even if you eat it alone, just thinking about the sour and refreshing taste will make your mouth water. Mouth full.

After breakfast the next day, Su Ling took Su Ho to the cabbage field, and was very happy to see the very round and firm cabbages.

Su Ling asked Su's father to go to the town to buy the salt needed for pickling sauerkraut. This is not a little sauerkraut. It is impossible for their family to make it by themselves, so they have to hire someone, and Su Ling still has to make it For some spicy flavors, a lot of spicy peppers must be used. Aunt Li's family has this stuff in this village, so I can only buy it from Aunt Li's house.

Su Ling originally wanted to go and talk to Aunt Li by herself, but when Su's mother heard about it, she remembered what Li Shi had said to herself, thinking that there were only a few people in this village that she could chat with, so she simply So I took this task, and I just took this opportunity to discuss it with Aunt Li.

There was a knock on the door. Aunt Li's family has become a small asset after selling dried bamboo shoots and fish for Su Ling for so long. The dilapidated yard has been renovated and is preparing to build a new one. The house just hasn't seen the right day yet, so it has been delayed.

"Her aunt, are you home?" Mother Su called.

"Yes, wait." Aunt Li was cleaning in the yard, but when she heard someone call her, she answered and hurried to open the door. Seeing it was Mother Su, "It's Ah Zhen! Come in, look at me, This yard is a mess, I just cleaned it!" He led Su's mother into the house, and served another bowl of warm tea.I had to scramble to get some food, but Su's mother stopped me.

"Look at you, don't be too busy, I'm here because you can't eat, sit down quickly, let's chatter."

Aunt Li stopped busy and sat down.

"Her aunt, you also know that my family grows several acres of Chinese cabbage! Ling'er is trying to make Chinese cabbage into sauerkraut. I don't know the specific method yet, so I want you to help us Busy, our family can't keep up with so many cabbages." Mother Su said straight to the point.

"I don't have anything to do now, so I can help, but can the few of us get busy?" Aunt Li was thinking about so many cabbages, if they all made them, a lot of cabbages would be rotten by then, Now the cabbage can no longer grow, and it will rot if left in the field for a long time.

"It's not just us. I heard that girl means to hire someone! If necessary, build a workshop or something like that." Mother Su could only silently support Su Ling's various ideas.

"That's it! It's okay! Then you can just let me know when you start, and I'll go over to help." Aunt Li readily agreed.

"It's like this. Ling'er also said that she wants to get some spicy ones. If she wants some spicy peppers, she asks how much you have at home. She wants to buy them."

"This child is really real. Is there anything valuable here? If she wants it, she can just come and get it. Why do you need to make a special trip?" For Su Ling, Aunt Li loved her own child. In other words, there is some element of gratitude in it, thanks to Su Ling for making their family's life better, but more of it is love.

"One size fits all. Ling'er needs a lot of weight. I know you love her, but it's what you worked so hard to grow. We can't take advantage of you."

"You! You still love to be serious, so you can just give me a price." Aunt Li saw that Mother Su didn't want to take those hot peppers for nothing, so she didn't say much.

The two were chatting, and Su's mother consciously turned to the child's problem. When Su's mother said that there were two girls in her family, but there was only one kid, it didn't mean that girls were bad. Su's mother didn't favor boys over girls. The only reason is that after the two of them get married in the future, Su Dong will not have anyone to help him, and he is afraid that he will be lonely.

"Why don't you, Ah Zhen, get another one while you're young," Aunt Li said.

"I, I." Su's mother spoke intermittently, "I want it too, but after giving birth to He'er, I saw that the family's conditions were not good, and I didn't dare to want the child to suffer with us, but now I want it anyway. No more. Pity my boss, if he is still here, my Dong'er will not be afraid of being alone in the future." Mother Su wept as she spoke.

Aunt Li knew which child Su's mother was talking about had died and had not yet reached the world. At that time, Su's mother was already four or five months pregnant. On Sumei who was walking, she was punished by Liang to kneel for several hours. At that time, Su's father was not at home, and the child in Su's mother's stomach was lost in vain. At that time, the gender could already be distinguished. male fetus.

Aunt Li didn't know how to comfort Mother Su, so she could only pat her on the back and comfort her: "It's all over, it's all right, it's all right." Then she took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Mother Su may have suppressed it for too long. After crying for a while, she gradually stopped. The past has passed, and people must look to the future after all. This is easy to say, but difficult to do. But those who are alive still need to live, and those who have passed away can only be kept in the bottom of my heart.

"Her aunt, I want to see the doctor. It would be great if I can get pregnant again. If I can't get pregnant, I will give up." Mother Su wiped away her tears.

"Sure, it's good to go and have a look." Aunt Li didn't have the kind of thinking of avoiding medical treatment. In her opinion, going to see a doctor is to make herself feel at ease. Even if there is something wrong with her body, she can be cured sooner. Said to be very advanced thinking.

After the two discussed it, Aunt Li wetted the veil again and asked Mother Su to apply it to her eyes. She returned to Su's house only after her eyes were less red and swollen.

Father Su didn't leave when the two came back. Mother Su had told Father Su before that they wanted to go to the town together, so Father Su had been waiting for Mother Su. Seeing that Mother Su hadn't come back for so long, just now Going to find her!I saw her coming with Aunt Li, and one of them was holding a vegetable basket full of spicy peppers.
