Chapter 276 Mother in a patriarchal family (14)
The bus to town is not so easy to wait for. Sometimes when the streets are full, the buses are full. Many times, Su Zhen would walk to school. She walked in the middle of the day and didn't arrive at school until the afternoon.
With a bicycle, her mother can take her to school, and then she can ride the bicycle back again.
Su Zhen also just learned to ride a bicycle today. She thinks riding a bicycle is very simple and she learned it immediately. As her parents, she should also learn quickly.
At the end of Su Zhen's words, she added: "I bought all the rice and noodles for the week, and all the money was spent. My eldest sister said she would send the money back next week."
"Five hundred yuan, all spent, not a penny left?" Su Dahai was shocked.
"Is five hundred yuan a lot of money? I've bought so many things, shouldn't I spend them all?" Su Zhen said innocently.
It was also after she spent a lot of money today that Su Zhen realized how hard it was to spend money. But the eldest sister said that only by spending money can you make money. Money is neither saved nor saved. She listened to her eldest sister.
What? Five hundred yuan is not money. Does his third daughter know what she is talking about?
Not only did Su Dahai's mouth tremble, but his hands were shaking. He pointed at Su Zhen and was speechless for a long time.
When Su Zhen saw her father like this, she didn't care. She grabbed a chicken and stuffed it into her father's hand, saying, "Kill the chicken, I want to eat chicken tonight."
Zhao Li hurriedly hugged the chicken and said, "What kind of chicken are you going to eat? The old hen should be kept to lay eggs. Didn't I buy ribs today? There are still some potatoes at home. Mom will make potato stewed ribs for you."
"Chicken stewed with potatoes is more delicious. If you don't eat it now, tomorrow I will come and take away the chicken. I will go to school. You won't be able to protect me when they come."
Kill or not, I will kill if you don’t, but I will only behead you. "
"Kill, kill, kill, I'll do it, don't waste the good stuff." Su Dahai said, carrying the chicken to the kitchen, and came out with a bowl to bleed.
There was firewood in the originally empty kitchen. Su Zhen knew that this must have been made by her father when she and her mother went to town. Her father could never be idle.
Su Zhen didn't know why, but she always felt that there was a fire in her heart. She lit a fire and warm water and said to her mother beside her: "Mom, put away the things we brought back today."
"Oh, okay." After listening to his daughter's words, Zhao Li went out to put things away.
There was no electricity in the old house. When electricity was first installed, it was only connected to the new house. However, my mother-in-law and uncle's family lived in the new house, so they could only light kerosene lamps.
Although it was a mud house, Zhao Li felt very at ease. She had lived in this house for twenty years. Later, her eldest nephew wanted to marry a wife, the family built a new house, and the whole family moved into the new house.
Although the new house is a brick house, she has never lived in it. She and her husband live in a small house next to the kitchen. In that small house, not only are their beds placed, but also farm tools and various sundries.
As for the daughters, they don’t have their own rooms.
My mother-in-law said that my daughter would eventually get married and there was no need to go to great lengths to find a room, but the two nieces had rooms.
At that time, she thought, it would be better to go back to live in the old house, but her father-in-law said that the family just lived together, and it made no sense for the eldest son to live in the new house and the second son to live in the old house. Her husband listened to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. After all, this earthen house would Didn't come back.
Now that they are back, they still live in the widest and largest room. Zhao Li feels very relieved.
She touched the sewing machine and imagined the memory of using the sewing machine to make clothes for her daughters. She felt that she had never been so happy in her life. No matter, even if her mother-in-law beats her to death, even if her husband doesn't side with her, she still has to listen to her daughter.
At Su Dahe's house, Bai Feng looked at the chicken on the dinner table and felt terribly distressed. Su Zhen, that madman, she really killed these chickens and ducks. If she hadn't protected them, her pigs would have suffered too.
However, I felt better when I thought that the second child's family had to move in a hurry today, without rice or food, and they would definitely be hungry.
Su Hui looked at the chicken and swallowed, but her parents didn't speak, and she didn't dare to move her chopsticks.
When Sister-in-law Su and her husband came back from her parents' home, Grandma Su started to use her chopsticks. Sister-in-law Su was still a little surprised that the chickens were being killed at home, which was out of character.
When I heard my mother-in-law say that the family was splitting up, my first reaction was that there was no labor force in the family, and those cousins would no longer be able to send money back.
"Why are the families separated? I heard that Tangtang's husband's family is very powerful in S City, so no husband dares to offend him." Sister-in-law Su didn't understand. The second uncle's family was kind and capable, so they separated. What a loss it is to their family.
Moreover, the second brother is getting married. Now that the family is separated, can the woman's family get the money for the bride price?
"Her husband is dead. This man is as dead as a lamp. Who else can she rely on?" Bai Feng said nonchalantly, then thought of something else and said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, you said you can't talk about Tang." Tang is pregnant with a boy, so the second brother and his family want to leave everything to the boy, so they are planning to separate the family, right? "
"It doesn't matter if it's a boy. It's not a son of our old Su family. Tomorrow I will go to the second son's house and ask him to hand over the money. Songzi is getting married. As the second uncle of the child, he must have something to express..."
Grandpa Su smoked his pipe and said only: "Don't make it too ugly."
This attitude is considered acquiescence.
"Then do you want to bring some food to the second uncle's family? They just moved here and they must not have started the fire yet." Sister-in-law Su asked tentatively.
As expected, Grandpa Su objected: "Aren't they capable? Since they are capable, they won't starve to death even after one meal."
This is no longer agreed.
Sister-in-law Su stopped talking. The family ate rice and gnawed on the meat, but they were not very happy in their hearts. After all, the chicken was raised after a long time, and they wanted to keep it to sell in the town. Now they just ate it in one meal. I felt bad. ah.
Su Hui ate the chicken drumsticks brought by her own mother and felt that she would not be able to get the money tomorrow, but it was none of her business. It was her second brother's marriage that was not hers.
Su Zhen and the others were not as miserable as Dafang's family. There was white rice on the table, chicken stewed with potatoes, fried pork ribs with mint, and oil was still frying in the kitchen pot.
When Su Dahai was eating, he felt like he was dreaming. When was the last time he had such a good meal?
Oh, it seems that the eldest daughter came back with her son-in-law and invited them to a restaurant in the town for a meal.
Thinking of his son-in-law, whom he had only met once, and his eldest daughter, Su Dahai felt sad again. Why had his daughter changed? Why are you making trouble for him to separate the family?
Sure enough, after going abroad for a few years, your heart has become wild?
The three of them had a good meal and went to bed. The next day, Su Dahai got up early and was about to take the farm tools to the fields. When he couldn't find a hoe everywhere, he remembered that his family had been separated and his family only got a handful. sickle.
Zhao Li also got up. Instead of squatting in the yard and grieving like her husband, she was wiping her precious sewing machine with a cloth.
