Reborn Leisurely Landlord

Chapter 14 The New Year's Eve Accident
During the few days when Aunt Su returned to her natal family, she was ridiculed by her natal family and lost a lot of face. She couldn't help feeling angry at Uncle Su and the three children of the Su family.

This time she quarreled with Uncle Su and dragged the child back to her mother's house for a few days, but her husband ignored him.She couldn't help feeling that Uncle Su was heartless, so she blamed the three brothers and sisters for this, and her resentment towards the three brothers and sisters deepened.

Unexpectedly, she was drying the quilt in the yard that day, and happened to see a woman in the village returning with a bunch of Spring Festival couplets.Aunt Su saw that the Spring Festival couplets were beautiful, and quickly asked where she bought them.

The woman said it was the Su family in Qinghe Village, so Aunt Su became more careful.After a few rounds of inquiries, I found out that Su's father had returned home and started a business selling Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures. It is said that the business was very good, and even people in several nearby villages knew about it.

Now Aunt Su can't stay in her natal family, she can't just watch her uncle make money and she has no share, so she hastily dragged her son Su Wang back.Her mother was also surprised that her daughter said in a strong tone a few days ago that she would not go back if Su Manjiang didn't come to pick her up in person. Why is she in such a hurry now, she wants to go back without even eating?
Not to mention those, just say that Aunt Su has settled down a lot in the past few days when she came home, and she is no longer gossiping with Aunt Jiang's family, serving Uncle Su's diet and Chinese medicine every day.It's just that he always keeps a few words on the money, and often asks Uncle Su about his brother's business, both openly and secretly.

She learned from Uncle Su that Su Dajiang made thousands of dollars in Spring Festival couplet business, and also learned that her family paid back two hundred yuan, although Su Qingdai later paid back her own capital and three hundred more , but Aunt Su was not satisfied at all. What is 300 yuan enough? My eldest brother has earned so much, so now he is taking 300 yuan to send off beggars?
She only felt that if she paid for it, she would be considered half the boss.The business should be entrusted to her, and it should be up to her to make up her mind. It is best to earn a half-fifty cent of the money.But she didn't want it at all. If it wasn't for Su Qingdai, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to earn the 300 yuan.

It's a pity that she couldn't find any important information from Uncle Su, and Uncle Su didn't know much about it, so he just said that girl Dai wanted to make money from a small business, so she followed her brother to the city to buy goods and sell them back.When Aunt Su heard that it was Su Qingdai who thought it up, she felt a little strange, and couldn't help but envy Su's father for having a good daughter.

She still wants to have a child, but at the moment the family planning has been taken very seriously, and with Uncle Su's sick body, she naturally knows that it is impossible to have a child.

Thinking about the purpose of her coming back this time, she didn't care about those things, so she could only ask Uncle Su vaguely if the business would be good, and if possible, they might do it too.

When Uncle Su heard what Aunt Su said, he immediately lowered his face.Let's not say that the business is not easy to do, and all the profits are gross profits, and Aunt Jiang's family suffered a hidden loss; besides, this is a way of livelihood that the brother's family came up with, even if it is something that makes a lot of money, his mother-in-law is going to plug it One foot, this is immoral.

Seeing Uncle Su's expression of disapproval, Aunt Su immediately became angry.But thinking of how hard it was for her to pull back and come back, how could she run back to her mother's house without getting anything?

So I had to be careful, and said softly: "I don't have to do that business, but you are not in good health, and you need to spend money to buy medicine. We are still so young in Suwang, and we will need money to study in the future." There are many, but if you don't agree, forget it."

When Uncle Su heard what Aunt Su said, he couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.He knew his body, he didn't know when he would recover from such an illness, maybe one day his legs would go away, leaving behind his wife and such a young Su Wang, who didn't know how to survive.

I also thought about hearing my brother talk about the three children going to study in the city a few days ago, and my heart moved.At that time, I am afraid that my brother will also go with him. If my brother also goes to the city, then it will be good for him to take this business again.It's just that it's still early, so he didn't mention it to Aunt Su.

Soon it was New Year's Eve, and during the day, Su Qingdai anxiously asked Su's father to deliver things to the village head's house.Thanks to the care of the village chief, the Spring Festival couplets were sold at a good price.

Su's father is a man, so he is naturally a little bit blind to the world, but Su Qingdai is different, some things are superfluous in the eyes of the stingy villagers, but Su Qingdai understands the importance of those etiquette.Regardless of Su's father's objection, he dragged Su's father to the village head's house with the gift.

Zhou Limin had long heard that Su Dajiang had made money selling Spring Festival couplets, and he was very happy.He knew that Su Dajiang's family was poor, and the two brothers Su Dajiang and Su Erjiang were orphans. The two brothers depended on each other for their lives, and finally got married.Unexpectedly, one lost his wife and the other fell ill.Later, I heard that Su Dajiang's factory closed down, and he could only go home without a job.Zhou Limin couldn't help being a little worried about how the family of three would live in the future.

It wasn't until Su Dajiang's daughter Su Qingdai came to the ancestral hall that day with Spring Festival couplets that he knew that Su Dajiang was also thoughtful, and of course he helped.

He didn't expect that his help really helped Su Qingdai a lot.Naturally, it was unexpected that Su Qingdai would hurry Father Su over to thank him because of this incident.

After exchanging pleasantries, Father Su talked to the village head about working in the factory in Guangzhou, and said that he was uneducated and looked down upon by others.The factory closed down, and their employees could only pack their bags and go home.Speaking of these, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is better to study, now he has three children, he must find a way to make them study more, and not let them go their own way.He also vaguely mentioned the matter of letting the children go to school in the city, and wanted to ask the village chief for his opinion.Zhou Limin saw that Su's father had such an awareness, how could he disagree?He also studied, but because of the cancellation of the college entrance examination, he did not have the opportunity to take the college entrance examination.Later, he returned to the college entrance examination, but he did not have the opportunity to take the exam.

As for the children in the village, Zhou Limin certainly hoped that they would read more books, but not everyone in the village could understand his thoughts.Now that he meets someone like Su's father who is self-conscious, he will naturally support him 100%.

After such a heart-to-heart confession, Zhou Limin also looked at Su's father differently.Although Su Dajiang is timid and lacking in courage, many insights and ideas are still farther-sighted than other people in the village.And he dared to spend that money to send the three children to study in the city, which Zhou Limin had to admire.He immediately agreed, saying that he would definitely help. Although he is a small village head, he has many connections.If Su Dajiang can't solve the household registration problem, he will definitely help.

Su Qingdai listened carefully and did not interrupt.Knowing that the village chief supports and will help them, I am grateful in my heart, and I also like Zhou Limin a little bit.Although many people say that the village chief is greedy for money and power, in Su Qingdai's opinion, such a reasonable and far-sighted village chief is not bad.

Just as they were chatting vigorously, they heard an eager shout from outside the door: "Village chief, village chief, the back mountain is burning! It's a big fire!"

Zhou Limin was frightened, and ran towards the door in a panic, no longer caring about the guests sitting at home.Father Su was also surprised, and hurriedly followed the village chief towards the place where the fire started.

Su Qingdai had no choice but to stuff the gifts and red envelopes she brought into the arms of the village chief's wife, and ran to follow.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked.The entire base of the back mountain was already on fire.The north wind was blowing again, and the fire quickly climbed towards the top of the mountain along with the force of the wind. After a while, the fire burned a large area. It is estimated that such a fire will reach the forest in front of it in a few hours.

The village chief turned pale with fright, and hurriedly called the villagers to put out the fire quickly, and they couldn't let the fire blow along the wind to the front mountain, otherwise many villagers' houses would be burned.

Qinghe Village in [-] lived by the mountains.Most of the houses in the south are built close to the mountains. With the mountains as barriers, the houses can be much stronger.Moreover, the wells of the villagers are all drilled at the bottom of the mountain, so that the mountain spring water flows to the bottom of the well along with the sand.

However, such a house also has disadvantages, such as forest fires.The houses at that time mostly had wooden roofs and red brick walls instead of reinforced concrete. If a fire broke out, the whole house would catch fire, so we had to pay great attention to safety.

However, there is a bad custom in the south, that is, burial and worship.When people in the village passed away, they hid in the mountains, so the mountains became a whole cemetery.Every New Year's Eve, I would go to the cemetery in the mountains to worship, so it was inevitable to burn incense and candles.In addition, the vegetation in the mountains is dry and dry in winter, and it is easy to catch fire when it encounters sparks.

In this way, as soon as New Year's Eve comes, the village will send people to the mountains to investigate, and it is necessary to ensure that all families pay attention to safety when worshiping, so as not to cause fires.

It's a pity that with such precautions, something happened.Su Qingdai's house is at the foot of Qianshan Mountain. Seeing how big the fire was, Su Qingdai couldn't care less, and ran away with Su's father.Before I got home, I saw many nearby neighbors moving things, and many people moved their things out of the yard.The whole village was in a state of panic and panic.

Where did Su Qingdai see these scenes before? It was like the panic and restlessness during an earthquake. She couldn't make up her mind for a while, and could only listen to Su's father's order, and Su Qingcheng and Su Qingye started to move the things in the house.Father Su told them to move the expensive things first, and discard unnecessary or bulky things.After giving these instructions, Father Su picked up the machete and cut down a big green pine near the foot of the mountain, and dragged it towards the forest.

Su Qingdai saw Su's father walking towards the mountain, and knew that his father was going to fight the fire with the young people in the village, so there was no way he would be safe.He didn't move anything anymore, and just followed Su's father into the mountains.

Su's father didn't know that Su Qingdai was following, and he didn't care about Su Qingdai at all. He waved his arms, pulled the green pine and rushed towards the fire.

Su Qingdai followed those firefighters to the back mountain, and her nervous mood gradually calmed down.She thought about her house and what she could do to put out the fire.Without fire extinguishers and sprinklers, how can the fire in the entire back mountain be extinguished by manpower alone?
The fire was very strong, and the sound of crackling sounded from the back mountain, mixed with the roars of those fire fighters.Su Qingdai thought about the origin of the year and the New Year's Eve, and only felt that this New Year's Eve was really special.

Soon, the fire ignited from the foot of the back mountain, Su Qingdai retreated hurriedly, and when she retreated to a large area of ​​grass in front of the mountain, she saw her brother and sister catching up.The dense thatch was higher than her brother's shoulders, Su Qingdai could only see their heads dangling in the thatch.

The wild fire burns endlessly, can it be regenerated by the spring breeze?

The wind blows the grass, Su Qingdai watched the tall thatch swaying in the wind, suddenly saw something, and flushed with excitement.I couldn't take care of my brothers and sisters who ran up, so I hurried to find the village chief.
