Han Aiguo paused and nodded with a "hmm".
The old lady Han smiled happily.
After dinner, the old lady Han sat on the stool in the main room, leaving Han Aimin to speak. Everyone knows that the old lady is asking about selling moon cakes today, but they all wanted to hear, so they didn't leave.
Old lady Han knew that this matter could not be kept from everyone, so she didn't rush people and allowed them to listen here.
Han Aimin told everyone about today's affairs, and when he finished, he took out Su Yuefen's ticket and money then handed it to the old lady Han, "Mother, this is what Su Yuefen gave me. You keep it."
The third wife of Han was surprised, "So many, my dear, this is too much money."
At this time, rural people can only earn a few cents a day at work. As a result, Han Aimin earns so much a day, how can it not be surprising.
Old lady Han was also surprised, "Fourth, why are there so much? You didn't take more money from your sister Su Yue, did you?"
"Mother, what are you talking about, can I be such a person?" Han Aimin exclaimed dissatisfiedly, and then explained, "I'm not too greedy for a penny. All the money I sold was given to sister Su Yue. Originally sister Su Yue tried to give me more, but I returned it a little bit, because mooncakes need oil, noodles, sugar and other things, so you don't have to ask for money. I must return the money and divide it well. I can't be greedy."
Before the old lady Han could speak, the third wife of Han yelled: "Fourth, are you stupid? She gave it to you!"
She looked sore, as if the returned money was hers.
Old lady Han was so angry that she gave her a mouthful, "Fuck you, you have a shallow eyelid, it's not your own, you can only get what you deserve, the fourth child is doing the right thing, and you must be honest. Don't be unsatisfied, unless who would dare to deal with you!"
The third daughter-in-law of Han shrank her neck so much that she dared not speak.
The old lady snorted heavily and looked at Han Aimin then said, "Fourth, you are doing the right thing, and you will do the same in the future. You should be a man by your duty. Don't be greedy for those who don't belong to you, and God loves loyal people. You will not suffer. Your sister Su Yue is also a loyal and good child, and she will not let you suffer."
Han Aimin hurriedly said, "Mother, I know, so don't worry." After saying that, he handed the basket that had been tightly beside him so that no one touch it, "Mother, this is what my new sister Su Yue made today. These mooncakes will be sold tomorrow, you keep them."
The reason why the old lady Han was allowed to keep it was not that Han Aimin was afraid that he would steal it, but that the nephews at home would steal it. He is now sleeping in the same room with his three nephews. The mooncake is so fragrant. If it is placed in his room, he will definitely wake up in the middle of the night and eat it.
This moon cake is so expensive, if you steal and eat it, you won't feel sorry.
The old lady Han also knew that the children in the family might not resist stealing food. She took the basket and said, "Don't worry, put it in your mother's house, there will be no less."
The old lady spoke, and the children at home were so disappointed, one by one could not wait to get directly into the basket of mooncakes.
Not to mention the children, even the two adults, Han Lao Er and Han Lao San's wife, have longing in their eyes.
Who doesn't want to eat such delicious moon cakes?
Old lady Han patted the table powerfully and warned everyone, "I tell you, none of you have the idea of stealing these moon cakes. This is for sale. If anyone wants me to catch something secretly, I will not spare anyone. Beat!"
The children were so scared that they dared not look at the basket immediately, and the third wife of Han said with a smile: "Mother, how can we make any ideas? Don't worry."
Old lady Han snorted, "It's best not to make an idea. Fourth, you have to get up early to town tomorrow morning, and go to bed early tonight. "
"Good mother, I'm going to bed now." Han Aimin is more active than anyone who can sell mooncakes, and he didn't dare to delay tomorrow's affairs. He took a shower and went to bed.
When everyone saw that Mrs. Han put the mooncakes in the room, they all went to sleep in their rooms.
The old lady Han did not sleep. She lit the kerosene lamp and looked at the mooncakes in the basket under the lamp. The more she looked at the mooncakes, the happier she became, and she muttered in a low voice, "How is she so skillful? If this girl becomes my daughter-in-law, I can wake up when I dream." (not sure what that means)
"Oh, but now that Aiguo's leg is broken,he won't be able to do heavy work in the future. Such a girl could look down on Aiguo."
"But maybe, who can talk about fate? Aiguo is calm, capable, responsible and caring for his family. If he has a wife in the future, he will definitely love his wife very much. Anyone looking for a good man will find such a life to be better. Maybe someone else's girl can see it."
The old lady said, her eyes lit up, hopefully muttering to herself: "As long as we get in touch and get familiar with our family's Aiguo, she will be able to notice if she's hesitant. Anyway, there is nothing wrong to try. Well, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will ask Xiao Su to come over to have a meal at home. She is so far away from home without any relatives by her side, so she can come to my house for a meal. Besides, if people give our family a chance to make money, it's also right to thank them by having a meal."
The older Mrs. Han muttered, the more she felt that her idea was good, she couldn't help but narrowed her eyes and packed the mooncakes with joy. Then she blew the light and fell asleep. The corners of her mouth were smiling.
The next day, Han Aimin went to the affiliated hospital of the textile manufacturer. Not only did he sell the mooncakes he brought, he also received many orders for mooncakes.
After Han Aimin attended elementary school for a few years, he could write the basic numbers. He wrote down the number of orders for each each moon cake, turned around and handed it to Su Yue. Su Yue made a lot of moon cakes according to the numbers he gave. Then let him send it again.
It was so busy for five or six days, and finally the business ended the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Su Yue did the calculations. In the past few days, she sold more than 30 tickets for mooncakes, plus 32 yuan and 70 cents. In addition to the cost, she also shared with Li Xiaoqing and Han Aimin. She made a net profit of more than 15 yuan. In addition to harvesting a lot of oil tickets, rice tickets, food tickets, etc., it was a bumper harvest.
Su Yue was happy, and finally made money, after all, she was not so rich.
What made her most happy was that during this time she took the time to make some other delicious improvement meals, and earned more than a dozen points.
While Su Yue was counting the money with joy, the Han family was also counting the money with joy.
This time, Han Aimin got a little more than five yuan plus several tickets. This is a lot of money, enough for a family to use for a long time.
The second daughter-in-law of Han said: "Now that we don't have enough food at home, we can buy more food. We have many people at home. When the autumn food comes down, we can add more money to buy more food, so that everyone won't be hungry."
The Han family has a large population and many children who can't earn work points. The family's income from work was not enough for the family to eat, and they depended on Han Aiguo's salary to survive. Now he is injured and can't work in the army. Naturally, the monthly allowance was gone, and life at home suddenly became tight.
Fortunately, Han Aimin now sells food, which makes everyone very happy.
Han Lao Er said: "This time, thanks to Su Zhiqing's opportunity to make money for our family, if there is no one, how could our family make so much money."
Han Laosan also echoed: "Yes, I want to thank Su Zhiqing."
The old lady Han smiled and said, "Of course I want to thank Xiao Su, our family has inherited the favor of others. There are so many people who can do this job, but it is given to the fourth child. This is the help for our family. However, Xie can't just thank you verbally. We have to thank her substantively to be sincere."
Han Lao Er nodded and agreed, "Yes! Mother, why don't we take some eggs and send it to Su Zhiqing as a gift."
The old lady Han waved her hand with a smile, "Educated youth Su is definitely not willing to accept our eggs, so let's go, tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. I want to ask little Su to come to our house for a meal. She is an educated youth here, so far away from home. There is no family reunion, so why don't you invite her to come to our house to have fun."
This was unanimously agreed by everyone, and they said that Mrs. Han's idea was good.
The third daughter-in-law of Han immediately volunteered and said, "Mother, I'll ask Su Zhiqing to come to our house for dinner."
She wanted to have a good relationship with Su Zhiqing a long time ago. If there is any chance of making money in the future, she can do it with her, so that she can also make some money.
The old lady Han said: "Why are you going, don't you have work? Don't want to do housework! Aiguo, I leave this to you, please go and invite Su Zhiqing over for dinner, and go out to get some fresh air and exercise your legs."
Han Lao San thought his mother wanted his eldest brother to go out to relax more. This brother was held back at home, and so he immediately said to his wife: "Don't mix up, let the eldest brother go."
Seeing that everyone would not let herself go, the third wife of Han family lowered her head unhappily, feeling depressed, thinking that the old lady was really partial, thinking about the eldest for all good things.
Han Aiguo saw that his mother said so, although he hesitated, he finally agreed to the old lady.
This evening it was Su Yue's turn to cook. After everyone had eaten, Su Yue cleaned the kitchen.
While she was doing it, suddenly the figure of a child stretched out from the door of the kitchen. The child was half hiding outside and dared not to come in. He looked to be seven or eight years old, with dirty clothes, no shoes, and two snot bubbles hanging under his nose.
When Su Yue turned around, she almost yelled out in fright. After looking at him for a while, the child's face look a bit familiar. After thinking about it, she remembered that she had met this child, the youngest son of their sister-in-law Wang's house next door. This child slammed his head when he was young, and then his brain became a little dull. The children and some adults in the village always call him little fool.
Su Yue waved to him and asked with a smile: "Zhuangzi, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Zhuangzi didn't dare to walk too close, sucked his nose, pointed his finger outside the gate, and said quickly: "Someone is looking for you, in the woods."
After speaking, he ran away, Su Yue wanted to stop him and ask but it's too late.
Su Yue was very puzzled. Who would look for her without going to bed at night, and why didn't she just come in and ask her to go out?
Isn't it a plot against her?
No one cannot blame her for being too mindful. With her current appearance, there are really many people who are really interested, of course, including some unscrupulous second-rate people in the village.
This makes her reluctant.
Su Yue thought for a while and felt that she could still get out. In case it was really inconvenient for someone to come in for her business, after all, they lived here with five single girls.
But she couldn't just go out unpreparedly, so Su Yue took out the scissors in the kitchen, wrapped the pointed ends in cloth, then secretly hid them in her trouser pockets. Next, she took out her self-made self-defense chili water and she put it in another pocket.
This should be safe.
Finally, Sue Yue decided to come out.
Su Yue walked out of the door and walked towards a small forest.
This small forest is not a real forest, but a round grassy land in the middle of a large pond not far from the house. There are many trees on it and is very luxuriant. It looks like an island in the pond. But there is nothing in it, except for the occasional hide-and-seek in which no one goes to play.
There is a path by the pond that leads directly to the forest in the middle, and you can go directly from the bank.
Every household at this point is closed for sleep, and there are no lights outside. It is dark, only illuminated by the moon in the sky. Fortunately, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The moon is still bright this night, so that Su Yue can see the road in front of her.
When she walked to the middle of the trail, Su Yue stopped moving. On guard , she whispered to the forest in front, "Who is there? What can I do for you?"
After a rustling sound, a male voice rang, "It's me, Han Aiguo."
Han Aiguo appeared on the other side of the trail, looking at Su Yue with his cane, his expression a little unnatural.
Su Yue's eyes widened, surprised, "Brother Han, why are you here?"
Although surprised, Su Yue relaxed her guard down in an instant, completely relieved.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm.
If she had known that it was him, she wouldn't prepare such weapons. She would have run out long ago.
Han Aiguo pursed his lips and explained in a low voice: "I-my- mother asked me to invite you for a meal at my house tomorrow. Thank you for giving the fourth child the opportunity to earn money."
Su Yue suddenly asked, "Then why don't you just go to my house and look for me? When I came here, I don't know who it was, it made me feel more scared."
Han Aiguo was a little bit embarrassed, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I think if I come to you at night, others may gossip about you."
The people in the village like to talk about the short stories of the east and the west, especially the things between men and women, who is entangled with whom, who has a leg behind, and whose daughter-in-law gives men a cuckold. They can't finish talking.
Many women in the village like to talk about gossip when they get together. Not only that, but many old men in the village also like to get together and talk about gossip when they are having fun.
Although Han Aiguo is not at home all year round, he is well versed in the idiosyncrasies of people in the village who love to chitchat. He is not afraid of being seen and gossiped by others, but he is afraid of making Su Yue's reputation tainted with his. So instead of rushing to find Su Yue, he gave Zhuangzi a piece of candy and asked him to go in and call for Su Yue to come out.
Su Yue understood why he did this.
After coming here, she naturally understands the gossip characteristics of the people in the village. If someone who loves to talk sees Han Aiguo visiting her at night, she might actually be slandered.
However, she didn't initially consider this, but Han Aiguo, a big man, thought about it. He's so thoughtful.
Secretly smiled, Su Yue continued to walk a few steps forward, walked to Han Aiguo, stretched out a finger and gently poked his arm, "Brother Han, let's go in and talk. It's not good to stand here on the path. People might see"
Han Aiguo didn't know what was wrong. She obviously poked so lightly, but the piece of her finger seemed to have electricity passing through it. The stricken arm was numb, and his body was a little stiff. He didn't even remember that she had explained it. The reason for coming here, please say that again. Why should I go in?
Seeing that he was not moving, Su Yue poked him with her finger again, "Why are you not moving, Brother Han?"
"Oh." Han Aiguo hurriedly walked in with the stick, but his steps were stiff. Fortunately she couldn't see it when he walked with the stick.
After finding a relatively empty place, Han Aiguo stopped and explained to Su Yue again: "Educated Su, my mother invites you to go to our house tomorrow for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Thank you for taking the fourth child to earn money this time."
Su Yue stood two steps in front of him, with her hands behind her back, looking up at him, and nodding with a smile: "Okay, then I'll come and disturb you tomorrow."
"Yeah." Han Aiguo brought up everything to be said and had nothing more to add, so he just uttered, "Let's go."
Su Yue: This person, why are there so few words, can't you say a few more?
Since he talks less, she has to talk more, so Su Yue took the initiative to ask: "Brother Han, I heard that you are a soldier?"
Han Aiguo: "Yeah."
After speaking, he may also realized that he spoke too little, so he added: "Now I have a leg injury, so I came home."
The way he talked about his leg injury was very calm. He shared so calmly that people thought it was a minor injury for a while. But Su Yue knew that the doctor in the military hospital couldn't cure his injury, and it couldn't be healed at all with the current medical level.
Yet, this person didn't display the slightest sadness, as if he didn't care that he would completely end his passionate military career, becoming a disabled person.
But why wouldn't he care? It's just that this person is too reserved, he doesn't want to show it to others, and doesn't want the family to worry about it.
This man, he swallowed all the pain in his stomach.
Su Yue restrained her thoughts, looked at him encouragingly, and said firmly: "Big Brother Han, your legs will be healed soon, and you will return to the army at that time."
Han Aiguo smiled bitterly in his heart, his legs won't heal in the future. It is impossible to return to the army.
However, he didn't want to dismiss Su Yue's good intentions, nor did he want to provoke others to worry about it in vain, so he didn't say that he couldn't be better, but said: "I will borrow your good words."
Su Yue knew that he didn't believe her words, but she didn't say much. Everything can only wait for her to accumulate enough points to get the prescription for treating the legs.
Not mentioning this topic again, Su Yue asked again: "Brother Han, I saw you assembling the frame that day. It's beautiful. Can you also make a basket for me? Every time I go to the market, I buy things. I can't hold many things in a plain basket at all, and it hurts my hands and arms. It's easier if I have a basket on my back."
In fact, Su Yue's words were a bit cheeky, and she didn't know much about others, so she just asked for a bag. It stands to reason that this would be shameless by others. But Su Yue couldn't help it, she normally never requests. After all, it can be bought and payed by herself. But Han Aiguo is different, he is the one she wants to hook up with.
Sue Yue: Since I wanted to have relations with someone, I will be honest and polite. I won't have the chance to contact him once in ten days and a half month. How to build romance? Only by constantly creating opportunities can I get in touch and develop feelings with him.
Therefore, whether you are a man or a woman, you have to be thick-skinned to pursue someone.
Fortunately, Su Yue is not from this era. Although she has never hooked up with a man before, in the era of information explosion, she has never eaten pork but has seen pigs run countless times. There are still many ways to be entangled.
Sue Yue: I should stop these thoughts now, lest I won't have any face left anymore. (~dignityy~)
Han Aiguo didn't feel that Su Yue was cheeky. He agreed without even thinking about it, "Okay, I will make one for you. Fourth child will send it to you."
Su Yue smiled crookedly, "Thank you Brother Han, then."
Han Aiguo: "No thanks, a bag is not worth anything."
Su Yue looked at Han Aiguo's leg. Although she wanted to chat with him more, she did not forget that his leg was still injured and could not stand for a long time, so she had to point to the outside of the forest, "Brother Han, time is not early, let's go back and rest now."
Han Aiguo said, "You go first, and I will come out after you."
Su Yue didn't try to be polite with him, and left by herself.
Han Aiguo slowly left with his cane until he watched Su Yue enter the yard and closed the door.
The second day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and today, everyone does not have to go to work.
Su Yue did not sleep late, so she got up early and went into the kitchen to get busy.
Sue Yue: Since I'm going to eat at someone's house today, it's not good to enter empty-handed. But if I bring something, Mrs. Han will definitely not accept it. After all, she wants to thank me.
So Su Yue planned to cook a good dish and take it to the Han family to eat with them.
But before cooking, Su Yue took out the flour again, planning to make cakes for a few more months, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The mooncakes made a few days ago were all sold out, and she didn't want to keep them at home, because they were not fresh, not as delicious as fresh ones.
It took more than an hour to make the mooncakes, and Su Yue took out the ribs that she asked Han Aimin to buy in the commune with a meat ticket.
Everyone is short of oil and water this year, so it's a good idea to save energy during the Chinese New Year. Anyone can be happy to receive anything even without meat, so Su Yue plans to make a sweet and sour pork ribs to take, and just heat it in a pot. Then, quickly serve it.
Su Yue blanched the ribs first, poured them out and boiled them in a pot for 30 minutes. This step is very important. If raw ribs are used directly, the ribs will be very cold. But, after cooking and frying, the ribs will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
After cooking, add various seasonings to the ribs to marinate. After 20 minutes, remove the ribs, wash and control the water, and then deep-fry them in a hot pot until golden.
After that, put the previous broth into the pot again, add the water for marinating the ribs, three tablespoons of sugar, half a tablespoon of salt, add the ribs, boil the heat and turn to low heat until the juice is collected.
At the end of the juice collection, Su Yue poured a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar into the pot, and the sweet and sour taste came out immediately.
"Wow, it smells good, Su Yue, what are you cooking so delicious again?" Wu Xiaoxiao sniffed and went into the kitchen with an expression of being greedy.
Not only Wu Xiaoxiao, but everyone was so attracted by the fragrance that they ran into the kitchen behind. No way, this scent is too attractive.
Su Yue answered them while sprinkling chopped green onion and sesame seeds on the ribs, "Auntie Han called me to eat at noon. I wondered if it is not good to go empty-handed, so I made sweet and sour ribs to take."
Everyone knows that Su Yue has a good relationship with the Han family, so it didn't feel strange. Only Wu Xiaoxiao reluctantly said: "Then we won't be able to eat your cooking at noon. I'm so disappointed."
Su Yue took out the spare ribs left in the pot, sprinkled with chopped green onion and sesame seeds, and smiled: "Although I will not eat with you at noon, you can also eat the dishes I made. Now, these ribs are for you. Eat it hot at noon."
"Wow, Su Yue, why are you so good!" Wu Xiaoxiao was so touched that she hugged Su Yue. If Su Yue hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to give Su Yue a kiss.
The others were amused by her.
At this time, the system's voice sounded at Su Yue's mind again saying, "Congratulations to the host, this sweet and sour pork ribs reached level b, and 20 points were rewarded."
Su Yue was still amazed at the beginning, but during this period of time she has become accustomed to the sound of the system. She just glanced at the integration panel and left it alone.
Anyway, it's still early to reach eight hundred points.
After Su Yue left, Mao Lin looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs left for them and couldn't help feeling, "I didn't like Su Yue before. I thought she was squeamish and arrogant, and she was not gregarious. There was nothing else but a tall and beautiful body. Now I know that I was wrong. Su Yue still has a lot of advantages, not only good cooking skills, but also generous."
Wu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, "During this period of time, I saw that we were all fat. We all ate Su Yue's good food. Su Yue made the ingredients for us at her own expense and didn't ask us for any money. We should all be grateful to her."
Li Xiaoqing added, "Su Yue just came here before and didn't get used to it. She might be homesick. Look, she's now trying to adjust. She is kind to us, and we can't just take advantage of others. Just pack the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the kitchen. Don't let Su Yue buy it herself. It's our obligation, what do you think?"
As soon as this remark came out, unexpectedly, Wei Jia was the first to nod in agreement.
Seeing everyone looking at her in surprise, she blushed slightly and said, "Why are you looking at me like this? I used to hate her, but now that she has changed, I don't. Can't I?"
"It's OK, how can't it be." Everyone laughed and thought it was really good. Now the five educated youths who live together are getting better and better, and life is not as difficult as before. Thanks to Su Yue's food .
Su Yue didn't know that she was praised by her friends when she was away. At this time, she was walking to the door of Han's house and saw Han Aimin standing at the door.
When she saw her coming, Han Aimin immediately ran over happily with a grin, "Sister Su Yue, you are here!"
During this period of time, Su Yue had already been familiar with him, rubbed his head, "Did you specially wait for me?"
Han Aimin scratched his head embarrassedly, "Anyway, nothing happened today."
Su Yue smiled, putting her hand on his shoulder and walking inside with him.
Old lady Han saw Su Yuelai, smiled and greeted her from the hall. When she saw what Su Yue was holding in her hand, she immediately sighed, "I was thankful for asking you to come for dinner. Why are you still bringing something? Yeah! Take it back later, or this lady will be upset."
Su Yue put the basket in her hand on the table, lifted the cloth covered on it, and said, "Auntie, I didn't bring anything good, so I made some moon cakes for the children and some dishes for everyone to try. Auntie, just accept this. Taste it."
When the children of the Han family heard that there were moon cakes, they couldn't help being excited one by one. They ran to Su Yue and shouted, "I want to eat moon cakes, I want to eat moon cakes!"
When Mrs. Han saw it, she slapped the first one, "Now you are not allowed to eat, we will have to eat later." After she finished speaking, she no longer declined, and smiled and said to Su Yue: "This lady will accept it and let everyone taste your craftsmanship. However, you will not be allowed to bring anything in the future, all right?"
Su Yue just laughed, "Well, I won't bring it anymore."
The second wife of Han brought a bowl of sugar water to Su Yue and greeted her with a smile: "Educated Su, please drink a bowl of sugar water."
At this time, sugar is expensive, and you must have a ticket to buy sugar. Only the distinguished guests at home will use sugar water to entertain, so this is a very good thing.
Su Yue took a sip with a smile, "Thank you Ersao Han."
Before the second daughter-in-law Han could say anything, the third daughter-in-law squeezed her away and sat next to Su Yue then commented, "Educated Su, you are so amazing. The mooncakes you make are so delicious. No wonder you make so much money. If you sell it again, you call me and I will sell it for you."
Su Yue replied, "This time the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed. Everyone doesn't eat moon cakes, so it will not be sold anymore. You have to wait until next year's Mid-Autumn Festival."
The third daughter-in-law Han was very disappointed when she said this. She wanted to persuade Su Yue to try other things. Before she could speak, she was stared by the old woman Han, "Third wife, you go to the kitchen to help your second sister-in-law to cook together. Don't be lazy all day long."
The third wife's mouth is about to utter but when seeing the mother-in-law's dark face, she dare not say any more. She got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
Old lady Han said to Su Yue: "Don't listen to her, just treat her as bullshit."
Su Yue smiled carelessly, and said: "Auntie, I can also help with the kitchen, anyway, I'm only sitting idly." This way, I can earn more points. (◕‿↼)
The old lady Han refused, "There is no reason to let the guests go to the kitchen. There is no food at home. The second and third daughter-in-law can deal with it. You just sit, drink some water and eat melon seeds."
Old lady Han then paused as if she was thinking of something, suddenly said: "It may be a while before dinner, little Su. If you are bored, you can go to the backyard to see my eldest form a basket, so you can check if the size is right."
The old lady already knew that the back basket was made for Su Yue, so she said this.
Old Lady Han: (¬‿¬)
When Sue Yue heard that, she immediately stopped thinking about earning points through the kitchen. She got up and said, "Then I will go and take a look."
In the yard, Han Aiguo was sitting on a small stool making a basket, the bottom of it was already woven.
Su Yue walked to him, squatted down and watched, "Brother Han, how did you form it so fast? I only mentioned it last night, you have woven up so much already!"
Han Aiguo looked up at her, then lowered his head to continue the movement of his hands, "I'm unoccupied at home."
Su Yue was really afraid that he would sleep and forget food so she remarked hurriedly: "Brother Han, I'm not in a hurry. You can weave slowly, don't work too hard."
Han Aiguo paused, and then answered "um".
Su Yue didn't bother with him. She just squatted on with her cheeks then watched him weave.
It was probably because Su Yue was just squatting since Han Aiguo said, "Go and sit on a bench, squatting will numb your legs."
Su Yue felt sweet in her heart. She didn't expect that he could even be attentive of this. Looking at the big man with a serious face, how could her heart be unaffected?
Nonetheless she likes such a man, such man will love his wife.
Su Yue obediently found a small bench, placed it two steps away next to him, sat down and continued to watch him interlace straws.
His hands are very large, with well-defined joints. One is as much bigger than hers. It is full of power at first glance, but he is very flexible at work. His slender fingers swiftly shuttle between the cane. She believed he was doing this professionally.
Su Yue stared at his fingers unknowingly, and in her mind was very hooligan thinking about the connection between men's fingers and that aspect on the Internet. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
SY: I heard that if a man's fingers are long, that would be very powerful. If this is the case, wouldn't it be according to his long fingers?
As Han Aiguo is working, he feels that the gaze from a certain person is getting more intense and harder to ignore.
"You, what's the matter with you?" Han Aiguo felt a little weird and had to ask.
Su Yue came back to her senses after being asked this way, remembering her crooked thoughts a while ago her face blushed instantly. Waving her hand hurriedly, she denied saying, "It's nothing, I was in a daze."
After Han Aiguo turned down his head, Su Yue knocked on her own forehead and spit on herself secretly: What are you thinking about, how can you be such a rascal! Su Yue, Su Yue, even if you know that this is your own man in the future, you can't play a hooligan in your heart. You must be a pure and good child!
Just as Su Yue educates herself fiercely, Chuncai from the second Han family ran over and shouted: "It's time to eat, dinner is served."
Su Yue hurriedly stopped her self-education and followed Chuncai to the hall.
Full of happiness, Mrs. Han made a speech. At the moment, men, women, adults, and children are all sitting together, making the room lively.
The children cried happily when they saw the food on the table, staring at the dishes one by one while drooling.
Today, not only Su Yue brought a meat dish, but the Han family also cooked meat, a braised pork, and a goldfish soup. The goldfish were caught by the children in the river.
In addition to meat dishes, there is a roasted eggplant, a stewed tofu, a potato with roasted beans, and a cold cucumber.
Such a table of dishes now looks comparable to Chinese New Year, so rich that even adults can drool.
Taking the lead, Old lady Han put two pieces of braised pork at Su Yue, and said: "Xiao Su, whet your appetite today. If you are full, you are welcome."
"Thank you auntie, you guys eat quickly too, you don't need to mind me." Su Yue said, bringing the braised pork into her mouth.
To be honest, the taste of braised pork is really not good, it can only be said that it is barely cooked, she felt it roughly palatable compared from the previous life. But the scarcity of food here was hard to come by, so Su Yue had no choice but to suppress the frown, and swallowed like normal.
However, in the eyes of others, braised pork is a rare good dish, each one can't wait to eat a few more pieces. As usual, if the meat is consumed at home, it will be eaten up within a minute, so the old lady Han is ready to scold the children for their lack of eating manners.
However, something unexpected happened today.
Everyone was not eager to start with the braised pork and fish soup, but eagerly stretched their chopsticks on the sweet and sour pork ribs that Su Yue had brought - as if the ribs will vanish if they stretched late.
As the children eat with mouths full of oil, they sighed unconsciously, "The ribs are really delicious."
The third wife of Han hurriedly picked up two more spare ribs and put them into her bowl, "Damn, these ribs are so delicious, a hundred times better than braised pork."
Although the braised pork was cooked by the second wife of Han, she was not angry at this moment because she was convinced. She also tasted the sweet and sour pork ribs. After taking a bite, she felt that the meat she cooked simply couldn't be eaten. The meat made by Su Zhiqing is can only be considered real meat.
Han Lao Er did not forget to put a piece in the bowl of Mrs. Han while eating by himself, "Mother, the craftsmanship of Su Zhiqing is so good, you hurry up and try this rib, it's really amazing, I have never eaten meat so well."
The old lady Han quickly picked up the ribs and put them in her mouth. This taste, ah, is not terribly awkward, the rib is crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, sweet and sour and refreshing, just like a flower blooming in the mouth after a bite.
Fragrant, too fragrant.
Seeing that there were only two pieces of spare ribs from a full large basin, the old lady Han quickly picked a piece into Han Aiguo's bowl, "Aiguo, you should try little Su's craftsmanship, it's so delicious."
Han Aiguo couldn't help but looked up at Su Yue, only to find that she was looking at herself with a smile, her eyes were like a stream of spring water - there were waves rippling in it.
His heart was hit hard in an instant, Han Aiguo hurriedly looked away, lowered his head and gnawed on the ribs. However, with just one bite, the whole taste buds were conquered by the taste of such ribs.
At this time, the whole family was conquered by this plate of sweet and sour pork ribs.
The second daughter-in-law of Han even joked to Su Yue: "Educated Su, I used to think that I could cook well, but after having eaten the dishes you cook, I just realized that I'm making pig food."
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
The third wife of Han echoed: "It's not just good. I think Su Zhiqing's craftsmanship is a hundred times better than the chefs of the state-owned hotel. If Su Zhiqing becomes a cook, no one could be compared. "
Su Yue didn't know how many praises she had heard in her previous life, but today she was very happy because Han Aiguo's expression after eating told her that he too, felt very, very satisfied, just like everyone else. The eyes of the whole person lit up.
When he thought it was delicious, she was very happy.
After the whole family quickly settled on a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, they went to eat the other untouched dishes. Although it doesn't taste as good as Su Yue's, it's still meat, so naturally you have to eat it with relish.
Although Su Yue came here to eat for two days, she still made some money by selling food. The money was used to buy delicious food and improved the family's meals. After eating meat repeatedly for days, she felt distasteful for it so she has no desire, to grab it with everyone.
The old lady Han thought that Su Yue was embarrassed to eat meat, and hurriedly put two pieces of braised pork for her, and put another piece of fish into her bowl, "Little Su, you are welcome, eat more meat."
The old lady Han had all fatty meat, which made Su Yue a little embarrassed, because she never eats the fatty parts. She likes to eat lean meat.
But people in this age like to eat fatty meat. They feel that lean meat has no oily water. In addition, they are reluctant to put oil when roasting pork. When cooked, lean meat comes burnt. So everyone buys fatty meat and the price is much more expensive than lean meat.
Su Yue looked at the bowl with hesitation, not knowing whether to eat or not.
In the end, Su Yue still reluctantly eat the fat on her own, so she quickly put the meat in the bowl into Han Aiguo's bowl while everyone was immersed in eating and not paying attention.
Han Aiguo looked at her in surprise, a little startled.
Su Yue grinned at him, made a "for you" mouth shape, and then buried her head in eating her own meal, pretending that she hadn't done anything just now.
Because of this, she didn't see Han Aiguo's red ears. Only the last two pieces of fatty was sent into her mouth and chewed slowly.
Others may not notice but, the old lady Han actually saw the small movements of the two, and her eyes almost narrowed.
After the meal, the old lady Han still wanted Su Yue to stay for dinner at home, but she refused, saying that she has to go back with the other educated youths lest they worry. The old lady Han could only give up, but she gave her a gift when Su Yue left. A big basket of fresh vegetables for her to take back for dinner.
The vegetables of the Han family are very good - they look healthier, much better than those of the educated youth. Originally, Su Yue thought that the vegetables at this time were all ugly, but now she knows it's not the case, but how the educated youths raised these vegetables poorly.
Su Yue went home embarrassedly with a basket of fresh vegetables.
When she returned to the educated youth spot, she was surprised to find that there were more people at home. Two female educated youths living in another yard appeared here.
There are more than a dozen educated youths who go to the countryside in Hanjia Village. A special educated youth spot has been built in the village. There are two yards. The five of Su Yue and the others live here. The others live in the other side because the other one is much larger. It's spacious, so it is mixed with educated men and women.
Su Yue knew one of the girls. This person seemed to be called Zhao Fang. When she came to work on the first day here, this girl felt that the captain was partial to her and raised objections.
She should dislike the original owner very much. Why did she come here today?
Li Xiaoqing walked to Su Yue and whispered to her: "Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru said that they were moving over to live here."
"What?!" Su Yue was stunned, "but we don't have any room left."
When Zhao Fang heard what she said, she smiled and said, "Aren't you just five people? Su Yue, you live in one room and there is space, right? We can move in and live with you."
The educated youth named Han Xiaoru also said: "Yes, you have only five people here, but there are nine people on the other side. It just so happens that we two moved here, and the number of people on both sides are exactly the same."
Wu Xiaoxiao was upset, "What's the same! The house over there is much bigger, so naturally more people can be occupied. You first chose that house but why did you move here again?"
Zhao Fang said disapprovingly: "These two houses belong to the brigade, and they are not yours. You are not qualified to stop us from coming over? It is our freedom to move over."
Li Xiaoqing and the others were irritated by these words, but they couldn't refute it because the house was indeed not owned by them. It was owned by the brigade. It was built for educated youths. As long as they are educated youths, anyone who wants to live can live. If Zhao Fang ran to the party secretary and complain for being too crowded there, the party secretary would definitely agree if she wanted to reside here instead.
Li Xiaoqing and the others had no choice, and Su Yue couldn't object.
When Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru went back to pack their things, Mao Lin angrily patted the table: "The two of them just want to come over and take advantage!"
"What's the advantage?" Su Yue didn't know what could be the benefit.
Maureen explained: "It's because they smell our scent often, they once asked me where the money came from to buy delicious food. I just fabricated a reason, but they definitely didn't believe it. That's why they want to come here to eat delicious food."
Wu Xiaoxiao also agreed with this statement, "It must be the case. When Su Yue serves the dish, the scent is so strong, they will definitely be able to smell it next door. I have seen Zhao Fang peeking outside our yard several times, and she must have guessed it. We have the ability to buy delicious food here, so they want to come here and enjoy the autumn breeze."
Wei Jia said angrily: "Even if we make something delicious, we won't give it to them."
Li Xiaoqing shook his head, "Su Yue will cook to share with us. If we don't let them eat with us, they will definitely make trouble. What I fear most is that they will report Su to the party secretary if they are unhappy. She sells food every month so Su Yue will be in trouble."
Su Yue has been eating and buying food for so long, and several other people know about it. It's hard to contain this being under one roof, but they all pretend not to know. They won't tell outsiders that Su Yue earns money anyway. After a experiencing a good life with delicious food, they are stupid if they report.
But Zhao Fang is different. Zhao Fang may not deal with Su Yue as soon as they come. However, if the five of them are not as agreeable as expected, she will definitely report her speculation about Su Yue .
Everyone is worried.
Su Yue was also troubled, but she had to think carefully about this matter. It was useless to worry about it, so she said, "Let's think of a way, but the top priority is that I want to move to live with you. I will not stay with them. Who of you wants to take me in?"
Li Xiaoqing immediately answered: "Yes, you moved to the same room with Wu Xiaoxiao and me, vacate your room and let them live in by themselves."
So, Li Xiaoqing help packed Su Yue's things then transferred her to another room.
On the other hand, Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru moved very fast. They finished packing up just before dinner, and asked with a smile as soon as they were settled, "Shall we have a good dinner tonight on Mid-Autumn Festival?"
She, Zhao Fang often smells the smell outside the house, knowing that their food here is good. Today's festival, the food will surely not be bad.
Li Xiaoqing and the others rolled their eyes, knowing the duo's motive.
Wu Xiaoxiao stood up and said: "We are eating together, and the rations are all put together. You just came in and didn't pay the rations. If you insist on still eating with us, you have to pay the rations first."
Zhao Fang's face became stiff. Her rations were almost eaten, and she had to tighten her belt to survive. In the past few days, she became dizzy from hunger and lost some hair. There were still several days of autumn food, so she thought about moving here knowing there's good to eat. Unexpectedly, she has to pay rations straight away?!
Zhao Fang tried to plead, "Can I wait a few days for the autumn grain to be distributed before handing it in? I had something a while ago, and I have almost eaten the ration."
Wu Xiaoxiao immediately shook her head, "That's definitely not possible. Our rations are fixed. You won't pay the rations, but wants to eat with us? Then, don't you just want our rations to be shared with you? How do you think so well!"
Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru were said to be flushed. Seeing the party so determined, they had to go and bring their own rations. Yet, everyone saw that Han Xiaoru only had a small bag of big ballast seeds and a catty of rice noodles. Nothing else.
Zhao Fang is even more inferior to Han Xiaoru. No rice noodles but only a little ballast left.
When Wei Jia saw this, she immediately exploded, "You only have this little food left? How many meals are enough for you? Just like this, but you have the face to eat with us? Isn't it obvious that we are being taken advantage of?! We don't agree."
Li Xiaoqing also said, "Unless you have the same rations as us, otherwise we will not eat together. Let's cook separately and eat our own."
Zhao Fang instantly jumped up, "You are deliberately bullying us. Why do you fire together and criticize us separately? You are a group, specifically targeting with us, newly moved in. We are going to tell the party secretary about you. Such united comrades engage in xenophobia!"
Su Yue laughed at Fang's silliness. She simply waved her hand and said: "Then you go and tell the party secretary. Let's see if the party secretary comes and give you justice for your leftover rations. Anyway, we don't simply scold. No one is a fool, you know?"
Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru flushed with anger, but they didn't dare to really go to the party secretary, because the party secretary wouldn't make the decision for them because of this trivial matter.
In the end, Su Yue's five people ate dinner together, and didn't bring those two people.
However, they may not dine together, but they can't conceal what they do in the kitchen every day.
All five of them were worried because of this. The dinner was not that fragrant anymore. They kept thinking of countermeasures for Su Yue.
Su Yue was also worried about what to do about this matter. Before going to bed, she fell asleep with this problem, and then Su Yue had a dream.
However, what Su Yue dreamed about was not the food she thought about before going to bed, but Han Aiguo.
He is going to have an accident!
Su Yue dreamed that Han Aiguo went to the commune's hospital in a mule car to examine his leg injury.
At an intersection, a man was punching and kicking a thin woman. The woman wailed weakly under the man's fist, and kept crying for help from people around her.
The woman's face and body were all wounded, looking very pitiful, and the people around her find it unbearable so they criticized the man one after another. Yet, they dare not stop the man, because he is very fierce, from the waist to the rest of the body is large in stature, definitely not easy to deal with. As a result, everyone is afraid of going up and being battered instead.
At this time, Han Aimin was driving while Han Aiguo, who was sitting in the cart, saw this scene. He saw the woman being beaten all over her body but no one took control. His sense of justice as a soldier made him unable to watch. He asked Han Aimin to pull over directly and got out of the car with a walking stick.
The man was initially unhappy when he was stopped, but when he saw that he was just a cripple with a stick, he was disdainful.
Han Aiguo is not an ordinary man. How could he be knocked down by a mere fist? Although his legs are not strong, the strength of his upper body and arms is not comparable to that of ordinary people. He directly caught the man's fist and suppressed the man's strength. In turn, he threw the man back several steps and finally fell to the ground.
It would be fine if the man stopped here, but the man was not convinced, got up and rushed up again. He had to beat Han Aiguo. Seeing the man not giving up, Aiguo struck him hard.
But things did not end there.
The man fell to the ground and refused to get up. He insisted that he wanted to sue Han Aiguo for beating him with no reason. In the end, he went to the Public Security Bureau. The police from the Public Security Bureau came to investigate and collect evidence from the woman who was beaten. Unknowingly, Aiguo was misled. These two people are in a husband and wife relationship. The woman not only refused to help Han Aiguo, but also helped the man (her husband) press charges. Moreover, she even accused Han Aiguo of beating people and demanding compensation.
Naturally many people around saw what was going on about the incident, but they were afraid to bear witness. This is because the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau was the man's uncle. He easily favored his relatives. In the end, the Public Security Bureau sentenced Han Aiguo and was ordered to compensate the man's medical expenses. The man demanded thirty yuan!
Of course Han Aiguo was unwilling to give it, and was arrested on the spot then taken to the Public Security Bureau.
At the news, the old lady Han was so anxious that she almost fainted. Finally, she had to take out all the money in her family and pay the other party for medical expenses. Aiguo was redeemed.
However, 30 yuan is a lot of money for a farmer at this time, and it was spent all of a sudden for Han Aiguo - resulting to a butterfly effect. Starting then, the whole family had to live with their belts tied, leading to his brothers with their wives feeling very dissatisfied with the eldest Han. They quarreled and complained at home all day long. In the end, the family had to endure. Because Han Aiguo had no money, he couldn't go to the hospital for a re-examination. The medicine he had taken was stopped so he stayed at home. After dragging, the result became more and more serious, causing his leg to be completely useless. Later, it also caused a series of complications, which caused him to get sick at a young age. Finally, Han Aiguo died early.
Su Yue was shocked and woke up, sweating profusely and sat up from the bed.
She looked around and realized that she was dreaming, but her heart was still pounding
She looked around and realized that she was dreaming, but her heart was still pounding. The scene, the characters in that scene were real, as if she had witness it happening in reality. It's not like dreaming at all.
Su Yuexin talked with lingering fear, "System, I just dreamed that something happened to Han Aiguo, what's the matter?"
The system answered, "Host, the dream you have is real, and it will happen in two days. We detected that Han Aiguo was about to face bad luck, so we passed it to you in the form of a dream. Your next task is to find a way to resolve his bad luck and let him avoid this disaster.
The cold sweat on Su Yue's head is still flowing, her throat is dry, "System, why is Han Aiguo still facing such a bad luck? Didn't I come here to change his destiny? Why is he still so unlucky?"
The system explained, " Han Aiguo's luck has long been consumed because of his previous life. His fate in this life is bumpy and difficult. He will not automatically rewrite his fate because of your arrival. He will still encounter various difficulties and doom. Even we, cannot change this.
Having said that, the system continued saying," But we can predict and inform you in advance. He can avoid disasters through your efforts and revise his fate a little bit. This is the best protection we can do for him. If you can't prevent him to avoid it, then he has to endure these bad luck.
Su Yue frowned, and couldn't help feeling very sorry for Han Aiguo. Why should such a good and honest man meet such a fate? She originally thought that her arrival could directly rewrite his destiny, but she knew that this was just the beginning, and he has a lot more to face.
Fortunately, God gave her a chance to survive, thus she will definitely work hard to help him overcome the bad luck!
No, she has to find a way to go to town with Han Aiguo, and then prevent him from rescuing that dishonest housewife.
That woman was really bad. It was Han Aiguo who saved her, but she betrayed Han Aiguo in turn, resulting to Han Aiguo's tragic ending. Such a woman is not worth saving.
However, if she accompanies them, she can't just say that she is going to town for no reason, let alone tell Han Aiguo that I dreamt of you. You are going to be unlucky.
It seems that she has to think of a way to not make people suspicious.
Finally after thinking about it, Su Yue could only think of making some food and selling it in the town, so that she would have a reason to go to the commune together.
However, with Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru living here and watching, she definitely can't use the common kitchen. She must avoid them both. Can there be other kitchens available?
After much deliberation, only the Han family knows about her. It is okay to use that family's kitchen. Not only will she not be seen by Zhao Fang, but there should be no anxiety being reported by others.
Su Yue decided to take the ingredients to the Han's for cooking tomorrow. By the way, also mention about going to the town commune together without a trace. (o_)
Now that the difficulties have been solved, Su Yue can finally breath a sigh of relief. Next, sleep comfortably!
The next day, after leaving work in the evening, Su Yue surreptitiously went to the Han's house carrying flour and various seasonings.
"Xiao Su, you can come to our house to make food without worry. Auntie will help you. No one dares to peep at the secret recipe. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone", Mrs. Han said readily and honestly after knowing her situation.
The second daughter-in-law and the third wife of Han also promised to keep this secret strictly, and they would never let outsiders know.
Su Yue thanked the old lady Han, and got busy with the Han's kitchen.
Li Xiaoqing naturally followed Su Yue to help. Seeing that Su Yue had enough manpower, the old lady Han drove out the two daughter-in-laws who were staying in the kitchen, both reluctant to go. She herself, also walked out, leaving the kitchen to Su Yue and Li Xiaoqing.
Li Xiaoqing sighed, "Aunt Han is so sensible. There are not many old ladies as sensible as her in the countryside."
Su Yue also deeply agrees, and sincerely thinks that the old lady Han is very nice, reasonable and amiable. Her personality is easy and generous, which is really good. Thinking that Mrs. Han will be her mother-in-law in the future, she really is honored. It's truly a blessing to have such a sensible mother-in-law.
Su Yue felt happy in her heart, and the movements on her hands became more agile. She plans to make some twists and sell them in town this time, making two flavors, one salty and the other sweet.
The twist is crispy and refreshing, and it can be eaten by both men and women of all ages. It can be used as a snack for children or adults. When drinking small wine, there must be a little twist. The taste is also very good. In addition, the twist can be stored, also suitable for dry food.
Su Yue and Li Xiaoqing were busy in the kitchen until ten o'clock in the evening. They made a basket of salty flavor and another basket of sweet ones. Each twist was made big, and one was enough for an adult.
Originally, the farmers should have gone to bed at this point, but tonight, except for the children, the adults are all very energetic. Everyone is sitting in the hall and chatting, but their eyes are constantly staring at the kitchen, swallowing secretly.
It's so fragrant that people can't sleep at all. They can't wait to rush in and have a taste.
Of course, Han Aiguo isn't greedy about food, nor did he stop sleeping just for a taste. He normally has little appetite and not interested in snacks, but tonight, he can't sleep either.
Old lady Han scolded him several times, but it didn't work. He stayed there for various reasons and refused to go to sleep. In fact, he was waiting for Su Yue to finish.
The old lady Han had no choice but to let them.
Seeing Su Yue finally coming out, everyone's eyes flashed green, and she was slightly horrified.
Of course Su Yue knows what these people's eyes mean. She is not a stingy person. Since she cooperates with the Han family, she will naturally not eat less food from the Han family, so she immediately brought out the twisted plate. On the table, she said to Mrs. Han: "Auntie, this is the twist I made. This plate is specially reserved for the children to taste. You should try it too."
The old lady Han was not as embarrassed. She held Su Yue's hand and declined: "Good girl, this is all for money. How can we ask for so many twists, you can leave one for our children to taste. Take it to the town to sell."
Su Yue smiled and said: "Madame, I have made a lot. This plate is specially reserved for everyone. Please don't be polite with me. I will often borrow your cooking stove in the future. If you do this I won't accept anything, and I will be embarrassed to use the stove again."
Hearing this, the old lady Han did not insist any more, and accepted the twist, but she thought in her heart that she must make up for it next time, so that Su Yue should not suffer.
While everyone was tasting the twists, Su Yue said to Han Aimin and the old lady Han: "This time I made a lot of twists. I guess Aimin will have to sell it all day by himself. But, I was thinking of going to the commune to buy some ingredients. Tomorrow, I will take a leave and go to town with Aimin. I will sell the other half so that we can sell everything earlier. Afterwards, he can help me buy the ingredients. Aimin, what do you say?"
Han Aimin was very happy and replied, "Sister Su Yue, what a coincidence. I happened to borrow a mule cart tomorrow to take my eldest brother to the commune hospital to see his legs.
Let's go together!"
I can go with Han Aiguo!
Su Yue was happy in her heart, but on the surface she had to pretend to be pleasantly surprised, and said: "It turns out that Big Brother Han is going to the commune tomorrow. That's just right, we can have a company together."
There was no expression on Han Aiguo's face, and he nodded lightly, "Yes".
Han Aimin was rather excited, "Sister Su Yue, I have already borrowed a mule cart from Shuanzi's house. Let's rush to the car tomorrow, you don't have to walk by yourself."
Su Yue laughed: "That's great, it saves me effort."
Finally, the three agreed to leave at dawn the next day. As for the twists, they will be placed in the Han's house, and they will be carried directly on the mule car tomorrow morning.
The next day, everyone else went to work, and Su Yue asked Li Xiaoqing to ask for a leave of absence, and then waited at home for Han Aimin.
Su Yue guessed that Han Aiguo was going to the hospital to see his legs. She would not be able to come back for a while. He would definitely have to eat in the town at noon, but now he needs a meal ticket wherever he goes. Not only are the meals expensive but aren't as good as the food she made herself.
So before the two Han Aiguo brothers came to pick her up, Su Yue took the ingredients quickly into the kitchen, chopped the meat, washed the vegetables, preparing to make a few meat dumplings as dry food for their trip in town.
Roujiamo is easy to make. Just make a few buns and cut them in the middle, put in the meat and lettuce leaves. It saves time and effort. It tastes delicious. It's a must-have dry food when going out.
Su Yue's movements were very fast, and in just half an hour she made seven Roujiamos
Su Yue's movements were very fast, and in just half an hour she made seven Roujiamos. She has a small appetite and can be full with only one, but Han Aiguo and Han Aimin need to eat at least three.
Using tongs, she put the cooked meat into the basket, then Su Yue filled her own kettle with some water. No need to worry about lunch, they have enough for eating and drinking.
Just as she was busy, Han Aimin drove the mule cart over.
Han Aiguo was sitting on the mule cart with his walking stick next to him, and other things on the other side.
"Brother Han." Su Yue smiled sweetly at him, climbed into the car quickly and sat down beside him.
Seeing Su Yue sitting down, Han Aimin drove the mule off.
The mule walks very slowly. Sitting in a mule cart is actually not much faster than walking. Some people who walk fast are even faster than the mule cart.
But, Su Yue thinks that the mule cart is very good. At the very least, you don't have to walk on your legs. It makes people much more relaxed, not to mention sitting with Han Aiguo. This can be regarded as the two people being close and close alone, so Su Yue is ecstatic. Satisfied, her smile becomes sweeter.
Han Aiguo's back became more straightened by her smile, and his ears slightly hot. He turned to his side to prevent people from seeing his ears. Then, he took a brand-new back basket from the side and handed it to Su Yue, saying, "This is the back basket that I just finished."
Su Yue was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly took it over, "Big Brother Han, why did you make it so fast? Thank you so much~"
"No problem." Han Aiguo said, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road.
Su Yue laughed, and she carried the bag on her back at the moment, feeling that the size fits her very well, and the strap of the bag was made very wide. She observed that the cloth strips were carefully wrapped so that her shoulders would not be injured when she carried the bag on her back.
How meticulous!
Su Yue felt happily in her heart. She transferred all the things she had put in the shoulder basket to the back basket, then stretched out her finger to poke his arm, and whispered, "Brother Han, thank you for making a basket for me. I have nothing to do. If I can thank you, I can make something delicious. How can I repay you?"
Han Aiguo shook his head, "Don't bother."
"How can I bear with it, you worked so hard with the back basket, and made it so good. It looks better than what others sell. How can I take advantage of you in vain. If you don't want my food, then I will follow the market price. I'll pay you the money."
Han Aiguo saw that she was either going to give food or money, and finally had to choose one thing, "No money. You can make me food."
Su Yue's careful thoughts were fulfilled, she chuckled in her heart, and continued to move near Han Aiguo's ears, and said in a voice that Han Aimin would never hear, "Then Brother Han, I'll make good food tonight, and you come to the small forest. There, I'll give it to you to eat."
Fearing that Han Aiguo would see her careful thoughts, Su Yue added righteously: "It's not good to be seen elsewhere."
Han Aiguo hesitated, and finally nodded, "Okay."
Su Yue felt victorious in her heart.
Time passed by the as they slowly chat. After the mule cart walked for about half an hour, they were almost in town.
As she got closer to the town's commune hospital, Su Yue's good mood gradually disappeared, replaced by nervousness and anxiety.
Sue Yue: I should meet the unscrupulous couple like in my dream soon, right?
But how can she make Han Aiguo avoid it? She had only seen that scene in her dream, but she didn't know which way they came from. If she knew the route, she could also find an excuse to ask Han Aimin to change the way and avoid it, but she didn't know the route to town.
Sue Yue: I'm not familiar with it at all, and I don't know where I will encounter it. How can I avoid this?
If she did meet them, she would directly took Han Aiguo to prevent him from worrying about the couple's affairs. Would he think she was a cold-blooded person with no conscience? Moreover, he is a soldier, and he has a sense of justice to serve the people in his bones. He doesn't even know the real face of the couple, and he can't help but stop it.
What if he really doesn't listen to her?
The more Su Yue thought about it, the more nervous she felt. She hadn't come up with a more perfect idea. Suddenly she heard voices of discussion coming from a short distance away, and there was a vague voice of a woman calling for help.
It's them!
Su Yuexin felt her constricted throat all at once, together with her heart pounding loudly.
Han Aimin saw a large group of people in front of him, so he turned around and said to Han Aiguo and Su Yue: "Big Brother, Sister Su Yue, something seems to have happened in front of us, shall we stop and take a look?"
Su Yue immediately shouted: "Don't look!"
She shouted so excitedly that both Han Aimin and Han Aiguo looked at her strangely.
Su Yue realized that she was too obtrusive, and quickly explained: "You may have to line up to go to the hospital, and we have to sell twist after checking the illness. Let's go early."
Han Aimin felt that Su Yue's words were reasonable, and Han Aiguo himself was not a person who likes to watch the excitement, so he drove the mule car around to avoid the crowd.
When passing by the crowd, they listened to everyone's discussion.
"Why is this man like this? What if the woman is beaten up to death?"
"Why don't the people in charge of law and order deal with it? This man is too blatant, right?"
"This woman is so pitiful, I don't know how she provoked this man."
"Why is there no one to taking care of this, the woman is really going to the hospital."
"What the hell, which one dares to control? Look at that man with a big waist and a round body. The lumps on his body are so terrible. A man can't stand his punch. If you dare to be nosy, you must not be afraid of being beaten."
Just as there was an obstacle in the middle, a gap was formed in the crowd. Su Yue and the three people just walked to the gap and they also happened to see what was happening inside the crowd.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Su Yue dreamed. The man was punching and kicking at the woman. The woman's face was blue and purple, her face was full of tears, and she was helplessly asking people around her for help.
The woman is indeed very pitiful, making people unbearable. If Su Yue had never dreamed, she would definitely sympathize with a woman and find a way to help her, but she knew that the man and woman were husband and wife. Who can help? In the end, this woman will bite back.
Su Yue knew the truth, but Han Aimin and Han Aiguo didn't know. Han Aimin stopped the mule car and looked at it, his face was full of anger, "This man is too much, he hit a woman! "
Su Yue hurriedly looked at Han Aiguo's face, only to see that his face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were staring at the man deeply, and his hands couldn't help taking his crutches.
Su Yue secretly said a terrible cry, Han Aiguo really couldn't see the man's behavior, and wanted to stop it.
But he must not go up and stop!
Su Yue panicked instantly, sweat involuntarily poured out of her forehead. She desperately thought about how she could make him willingly rush in and help.
Just when Han Aiguo was about to get out of the car with a walking stick, Su Yue instantly thought of an idea in her mind.
She whispered, panting weakly, clutching her chest.
Han Aiguo was about to get out of the car and go forward, but suddenly saw Su Yue clutching her chest, her face turned pale, full of sweat. He was shocked and hurriedly supported her arm and asked: " What's wrong? Where is it hurting?"
Han Aimin also ignored the excitement, and rushed to ask Su Yue what's wrong.
Although Su Yue felt guilty for deceiving the two, but she couldn't care much at this moment. She could only pretend.
"Brother Han, my heart hurts suddenly, and I can't breathe", Sue Yue spoke weakly.
"Why does your heart hurt suddenly? Brother, what should we do?" Han Aimin was in a hurry.
The calmness in Han Aiguo's eyes was also completely gone, his eyes were filled with anxiety, and he didn't even realize his distress, he carefully took Su Yue into his arms to prevent her from sitting unsteadily and falling down. Already forgetting about the couple, he said to Han Aimin: "Hurry up, let's go to the hospital!"
Han Aimin also forgot about the couple, so he quickly pumped his mule and drove the car to the hospital quickly.
Su Yue was layed in Han Aiguo's arms, and as the mule cart moved further and further away from the place just now, her heart gradually relaxed, her sweat stopped flowing, and her face gradually returned to normal.
Han Aiguo successfully survived this bad luck!
Su Yue was really too nervous just now, her whole body was stretched, and now she suddenly relaxed, she felt that her body was soft and unable to exert her strength. She was lying in Han Aiguo's arms at the moment, and his embrace was warm. Feeling secured, she didn't think about anything, and let herself continue to be soft in his arms.
Sue Yue: Anyway, this is my future husband. I'll enjoy the treatment as a wife in advance. ~(˘▾˘)~
Yet, seeing him look so anxious and worried, her heart is very guilty, because she pretended to be sick to make him so anxious.
Su Yue raised her face to look at him, pulled his big hand softly, and said: "Brother Han, I'm fine, now my chest doesn't hurt so much, don't worry anymore."
Han Aiguo looked at her face carefully and saw that her complexion was restored to normal, the sweat was much less, and she was in a much better state than just before, so he couldn't help but feel relieved a bit. However, the anxiety hidden in his heart only alleviated a little. He was still worried about her body and couldn't help but reached out to wipe the remaining sweat on her temples. When he touched her delicate skin, he realized that he was acting inappropriately, so he quickly paused and retracted his hand.
After a moment, he said, "Let's go to the hospital and let the doctor see what's going on."
Of course, Su Yue knew that she was okay, and she couldn't help worry what it would cost to go to the hospital, so she quickly made up an excuse: "Brother Han, I've had this problem since I was a child. Whenever I'm surrounded by a crowd, it's easy to get dizzy and chest pains. I have seen a doctor and the doctor can't say anything, but it's okay. I just have to take a break each time."
Although Su Yue said it was okay, Han Aiguo felt uneasy when he recalled of how weak and uncomfortable she was just now, and finally took Su Yue to the commune hospital.
Of course, the doctor couldn't see anything, and finally said: "There is no big problem, just be careful not to go to crowded places in the future."
When Han Aiguo heard the doctor say that it was okay, he was completely relieved.
Su Yue secretly let out a breath of relief, and finally relaxed.
Han Aiguo's legs was then examined next after Su Yue.
Because the military hospital directly communicated with the doctors here about Han Aiguo's injuries, these doctors also attached great importance to Aiguo's injuries. They knew that he was a soldier and was injured for the country. He was respected so they were very attentive when seeing him.
However, Han Aiguo's leg injury was very serious, and the doctors at the military area hospital couldn't treat it, even more in this small place. The doctor shook his head regretfully, and could only change the leg's gauze each time. A little medicine was prescribed as well. The two onlookers couldn't say anything.
Looking at the doctor's expression, Han Aimin's eyes were red with discomfort.
The eldest brother is so good. From a farm boy with no background, he went to the army and dared to work hard. After being in the army for three years, he was demobilized and sent home. Only the elder brother stayed in the army who gradually became a squad leader, a company commander, and recently, he was a battalion commander.
The eldest brother is the pride of the whole family and the hero in his mind. But why should a hero encounter such a thing? If the eldest brother's leg is not cured, he will not be able to return to the army afterwards!
Han Aimin turned his back and lowered his head, not wanting eldest brother to see him crying. Brother's situation is bitter enough already.
Su Yue patted Han Aimin's shoulder as comfort. She wanted to say that your eldest brother's leg would be good, but she couldn't mention it, yet.
She looked at Han Aiguo, but found that he was the calmest person, calmer than the doctor. The doctor couldn't help feeling sorry, but he didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all.
In fact, how could it not be uncomfortable, it's just hiding in his heart.
Su Yue didn't want to say more about the leg injury that made him feel uncomfortable, so she changed the subject directly: "Brother Han's leg has been examined, then let's go sell the twists. I don't know if we can sell everything in these two baskets today."
Listening to Su Yue mention about selling food, Han Aimin remembered that they still have a big task of making money today, so his mind refreshed.
It costs money to treat his eldest brother's leg, so he needs to make more money for its treatment!
When the three of them came out of the hospital, Su Yue looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, time for lunch. Her stomach growled.
Asking Han Aimin to find a shady place to stop the mule cart, Su Yue took out the dry food she brought, "It's almost noon, don't rush to sell twists, let's eat lunch first."
Han Aimin exclaimed a "wow" and rushed over, "Sister Su Yue, did you still bring something to eat? I was planning to buy some wowotou for lunch later."
(wowotou)
(wowotou)
Su Yue opened the cover cloth in the basket, revealing the Roujiamo inside. "Wowotou is not delicious, and you need food stamps to buy it. Let's not buy it. I specially made Roujiamo in the morning. Eat this."
Han Aimin sniffed, and his saliva almost drip out, "Sister Su Yue, this pork bun is so delicious, how come everything you make is so delicious!"
Su Yue gave one to him, and another to Han Aiguo, "If you think it's delicious, you can eat more. I have enough, so you will be full."
Han Aimin scratched his head embarrassedly, "Sister Su Yue, I asked you to spend money again. Today, if you give me a little bit less money, it will be the lunch money for my brother and I."
Su Yue refused, "What are you doing being polite with me? I am hitching a ride. Otherwise, I might walk to death. I didn't pay you money for the car so don't be polite, and eat quickly."
When Han Aimin saw Su Yue saying this, he glance at his eldest brother.
Han Aiguo nodded slightly, and Han Aimin knew that his eldest brother agreed, so he stopped being polite, and proceeded to eat, then yelled more happily after taking the first bite, "Sister Su Yue, the pork bun is so delicious, better than the big white steamed bun. They are all delicious, even better than any meat dish."
Su Yue smiled, turned her head to look at Han Aiguo, and saw that he was serious about eating one bite at a time. She stepped forward, blinked her big eyes and asked him: "Brother Han, do you think the buns I made are delicious?"
She was too close, so close that he could smell her scent.
Han Aiguo suddenly became uncomfortable, did not look at her, and replied in a low voice: "It's delicious."
Seeing that his body froze, Su Yue chuckled in her heart, and stopped teasing him. She backed away, and took out a glutinous rice cake and started to gnaw.
Seeing her backing away, the air finally disappeared from the faint scent, Han Aiguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his heartbeat had returned to normal. Finally he could breathe normally.
Realizing that there was something wrong with him, Han Aiguo was taken aback, feeling at a loss, then frowned unconsciously.
Every time he was with her, he would become as bad as he is now, and he couldn't control his emotions. This was a situation he had never seen before.
Although he had never dealt with women very much, he would never view women like this. Su Yue was the first person to make him so strange.
As a man who is almost 30 years old, although he has not experienced feelings, he is not a hairy boy who knows nothing. He still vaguely knows what his disordered emotions represent.
He had that thought, for her.
Thinking of this, Han Aiguo's heart shivered: Aiguo, you are a handicapped person, how can you have such a thought for other girls, what can you do to like them? Han Aiguo, hurry up and stop. Don't think about it, you shouldn't think about these things.
As he lectured himself about it, his heart gradually cooled down, but the fragrance in the mouth became bitter.
Su Yue didn't see that there was something wrong with Han Aiguo. She still nibbled at her own meat sandwiches happily, quietly celebrating her success in letting her future husband survive today.
Extremely happy, she will give him ribs soup when she go back tonight.
To celebrate!
After eating lunch happily, Su Yue divided the two baskets of twists into two portions, each of which was half sweet and half salty. Later, she and Aimin would sell them separately.
Han Aimin said to Su Yue: "Sister Su Yue, go to the textile factory building to sell. I, will go to the faculty and staff dormitory of the school in front. There is a school there. There are more students and teachers. There are a lot of people living in it, and the teacher's salary is not low. Someone should buy it."
Su Yue patted him on the shoulder appreciatively, "A natural businessman, you've got a clear idea about this, you are better than Sister Su Yue."
Han Aimin was blushing and shy, carrying a basket of twists, and ran away.
Su Yue smiled happily, and turned to Han Aiguo: "Brother Han, let's go to the textile factory, I'll go find sister Jiang to sell it, and ask her colleagues if they want to buy."
Han Aiguo nodded silently and drove the mule car instead of Han Aimin. He drove Su Yue to the family courtyard behind the textile factory.
When he arrived outside the courtyard, Su Yue said to him: "Brother Han, your legs are inconvenient, so just sit in the car and wait for me. I will come out as soon as I go in."
Han Aiguo was actually very worried about sending her there alone, but looking at his legs, it would only be a hindrance to follow her, and he shouldn't be too close to her.
Han Aiguo nodded, "Okay, pay attention to your safety."
Su Yue carried the basket and waved to him as she walked, "Don't worry, Brother Han, I will be back soon."
Su Yue and the people in the courtyard asked about the residence of Jiang Jie's house, found her door, and knocked.
It was Sister Jiang herself who came to open the door. She just had a lunch break, so she returned from the cafeteria and brought her family to eat with her, so she was at home now.
Seeing that it was Su Yue, Sister Jiang happily let her in, and was busy pouring her water, and asked the child to get sugar and melon seeds for Su Yue to eat.
Su Yue hurriedly said: "Sister Jiang, don't be busy, I just came over after lunch, and now I can't eat anything."
Sister Jiang looked at Su Yue's basket and asked with a smile, "Did you make something delicious to bring for me? Little Su, your craftsmanship is so good, no one can resist what you make. Just the cake you sold to me last time was very delicious. I distributed it as a gift, everyone liked it and they asked me where I bought it. Next time, you can bring me some more."
What Sister Jiang didn't say was that because the goods were delivered well, she was happy to do things for her. So she thanked Su Yue very much in her heart.
Su Yue directly opened the cover cloth of the basket she brought, "Sister, this time I made some twists to sell. You can taste it first, and then talk about it."
Su Yue directly took two twists to Sister Jiang.
Sister Jiang sees her being so generous, and she likes her more in her heart. She likes to deal with generous people, and she doesn't like to interact with those who stubbornly tight for a small profit.
Sister Jiang was not polite. She picked up the twist and divided it between her child, her lover, then asked them to taste it.
Sister Jiang's son is estimated to be only five or six years old this year. He was overwhelmed by this taste when he took a bite of the twist. His mouth was full, and he did not forget to say to his mother, "Mother, buy twist!"
Sister Jiang thought it was delicious after eating it herself, so she smiled and said, "Well, good, mother will buy it for you, you glutton!"
Sister Jiang is an accountant, and her salary is not low. Her man is also a small leader in the factory. The combined income of the two is quite substantial. In addition, there is no mother-in-law above, so she isn't stingy when spending money. In fact, very willing to buy for children.
So right now, Sister Jiang bought three salty and sweet twists. Seeing that there were a lot left in Su Yue's basket, Sister Jiang went directly to the other colleagues and asked them if they wanted to buy.
With the help of Sister Jiang, the twists were sold very quickly - sold out within an hour!
Su Yue was very happy. She thanked Sister Jiang again and again, then promised to go back to make some cakes for delivery, and next time any rare food will be delivered.
Su Yue originally thought that she was selling fast enough, and Han Aimin should have to wait for a while, but when she returned to the mule cart, Han Aimin had already returned.
"Sister, I'm all sold out!", declared the very excited Han Aimin at seeing Su Yue as he raised his empty basket.
"So fast! Aimin, you are more capable than this sister." Su Yue simply admires this kid too much. He is a talent, and is definitely better at doing business than herself.
Han Aimin scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "There are so many people over there, it sold out soon."
Having said this, Han Aimin remembered something, and suddenly said to Su Yue and Han Aiguo with a look of fear: "Sister Su Yue, brother, do you know what I just heard from others?"
Without waiting for their reply, Han Aimin gritted his teeth and said: "I heard people talk about that man we met who beat the woman in the morning. Later, someone couldn't stand it and stop it, but he was caught by the Public Security Bureau.
Surprisingly, the woman even took a bite back!"
Su Yue felt a little bit gulty in her heart when she heard Han Aimin's words.
Did she help Han Aiguo survive the bad luck just so another unlucky person falls into the pit?
"Aimin, what's going on, tell us quickly?"
Han Aimin was feeling furious. When he said that, his fists were clenched. "I just came back from school and passed by that place. I heard people nearby talking about men beating women. What happened in the morning? I stopped and listened by the way. I didn't expect it to be so unexpected."
Han Aimin paused, and then said, "I heard that after we left, a man went up to stop the beating, but the bad man sued him to the Public Security Bureau, accused the rescuer of beating people for no reason, and demanded compensation. Later, the authorities took them all to the Public Security Bureau for review. As it turned out, the director of the Public Security Bureau was a relative of the abuser. So, the people from the Public Security Bureau helped this bad man and demanded compensation from the man who saved the woman.
The longer Han Aimin spoke, the more he got angry, "Sister Su Yue, do you know that the most irritating thing is the woman who was beaten?! She turned out to be the wife of the man who beat her. After arriving at the Public Security Bureau, she actually helped her man speak and bite back? They demanded the person who saved her to be compensated by the man's family!"
Su Yue hurriedly asked, "With so many onlookers at the time, no one went to the Public Security Bureau to testify to the rescuer?"
"No one dared to go, because knowing that the bad man's relative is the director of the Public Security Bureau, everyone dare not go and seek hardships for fear of retaliation," Aimin shook his head.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as her dream.
Su Yue's expression was hard to look at. It was not because she was angry after hearing the news, but because another person fell victim to the same misfortune that Han Aiguo should have suffered.
Was it because her actions led to a butterfly effect that fanned the whole event and affected another person?
Although Su Yue wanted to save Han Aiguo, she didn't want her intervention to inflict other innocent people, so she felt uneasy.
The more Su Yue thought about it, the more disturbed she looked at Han Aiguo.
"Brother Han, I think the one who saved a life was a good person. We have also seen what was going on at that time. We can't just watch a good person being wronged. Let's go to the Public Security Bureau to prove it."
Han Aiguo said without hesitation: "Okay, let's go now."
When the two were about to leave, they were held back by Han Aimin, "Sister, eldest brother, I haven't finished talking yet. The matter is not what you think, and you don't need to testify."
"What?" Su Yue was stunned, could it be possible that there was an unexpected follow-up?
"Everyone thought that the man who saved people was going to be unlucky, and they felt pity for him, but who knows, that man is not an easy one. He was so angry that he immediately sought out a backing himself. It turned out, the man has an official uncle, bigger than the director of the public security bureau. As soon as he heard that his nephew was wrongly framed after doing a good deed, he came over directly. The director of the public security bureau was extremely frightened that he repeatedly apologized. The couple on the side, was so scared that they knelt on the spot and promised that they would never dare again. But in the end, the man who was wronged asked for thirty yuan as a compensation."
Su Yue was stunned! This is a turning point for good!
After the initial surprise, Su Yue became happy, the plot twist was really unexpected and cool! When the murderous couple framed others, they certainly did not expect that they would kick the iron plate; when they depended on their relatives, they certainly did not expect that other relatives were better than theirs; when they wanted to blackmail others, they would never think they would be blackmailed in reverse.
Su Yue's guilt suddenly disappeared, and she suddenly felt refreshed. This incident was too much for her to relieve her anger. The man who rescued not only punished the couple, but also avenged the unfortunate Han Aiguo.
Think about it, if I didn't stop Han Aiguo from saving people today, the ending would be tragic, because the Han family doesn't have such awesome relatives.
Obviously Han Aimin thinks the same way. He is still afraid now, "Sister Su Yue, thinking about it now, I feel that we were lucky. If it wasn't for your discomfort at the time, the eldest brother would definitely fight to stop the man. Conversely, it would be my elder brother who will be accused of beating him. Our family has no relatives as powerful as others, then he will definitely be cheated to death by that couple."
Han Aiguo's expression on the side had already sunk. Obviously, he had already thought of what Han Aimin could think of.
If it wasn't because of Su Yue's discomfort at the time, he would definitely go and take care of the man, and then he would definitely be framed by the couple. At that time, he will either lose money or go to jail.
If something happens to him, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for their family.
It was Su Yue who made him avoid the catastrophe!
Han Aiguo couldn't help but look at Su Yue, but saw Su Yuezheng smiling at him brightly. The smile was like a warm sun, even the ice and snow could melt away and shine straight into his heart.
His heart jumped uncontrollably again, making his chest hot.
He quickly looked away, not daring to look at her again.
Su Yue thought he was embarrassed, she smirked and said to Han Aimin happily: "Aimin, let's go to the slaughter group of the supply and marketing cooperative, let's buy meat!"
"Good~" Han Aimin drove up the mule cart and drove Su Yue and Han Aiguo to a place specializing in meat sales.
Su Yue took out the meat ticket she had obtained during this period, bought two catties of ribs, and bought a lot of bones and pigs that didn't need a ticket, until she filled the basket full, and she happily returned to their home village.
Back to the educated youth point, Su Yue was about to get off the car, but found a man standing not far from the gate. Seeing her, the other party shouted "Su Yue."
Su Yue found out that this person was Captain Han Qingsong.
Why is the captain here? What's the matter with him?
Su Yue hurriedly got out of the car, took her bag from the mule car, waved to Han Aimin and Han Aiguo, "Goodbye, you hurry home."
After speaking, Su Yue winked at Han Aiguo again, signalling him not to forget about eating delicious food at night.
Han Aiguo looked at Han Qingsong, who was standing there looking at them. He didn't say anything to Su Yue, but just nodded to Han Qingsong and left with Han Aimin.
Han Aiguo went to the army early and was a few years older than Han Qingsong, so the two were not familiar with each other, and they didn't have much friendship so looking at one another, a greeting nod was only exchanged.
Han Qingsong watched the mule cart go far, then walked to Su Yue, looked at the back basket behind her, and said: "Su Yue, you took a leave today. I heard Li Xiaoqing say that you are not feeling well?"
Su Yue's body became stiff, and she wailed in her heart. Was she caught just now?
Even if you lied and asked for leave, you were still seen jumping around with a basket full of things on your back. What could be more embarrassing than this?
"I'm sorry, captain, I lied, I'm not sick, just want to go to town and buy something. I won't do it next time," Su Yue honestly confessed while scratching her face.
Han Qingsong looked at Su Yue, who was standing in front of him obediently, bowing her head and confessing to her mistake, like a child.
In fact, he knew in his heart that she had deliberately pretended to be sick and asked for leave, and she was not originally to be held accountable, but he was worried. He wanted to come and have a look, but he did not expect to capture the bag on the spot.
He was actually not angry at all. She was such a petite and small woman with a delicate body. She must have never done farm work at home before. She would definitely not be able to stand it after coming here. The little girl would naturally want to be lazy if she couldn't do it, he understood. If it weren't for reality, he would want her to avoid this life, so that she could relax, and not be in the wind and sun all day. Such a pretty little face was blushing, it's so distressing.
Although he shouldn't have such thoughts as a captain, but there is no way, he can't help but feel sorry when he sees her, and every time he sees her incapable of doing work, he wants to help her.
He really fell in the hands of this girl. It would be great if he could marry this girl back and become his wife. That way, she won't have to go to work in the future, as long as she has a few children. She can take care of them at home to do housework. He can provide for her.
Yet right now, she didn't even understand his intentions, and he didn't dare to scare her by saying it all at once, so he had to take his time.
Although he can't openly tell her not to go to work now, as the captain, it is still possible to arrange a light job for her.
Han Qingsong then spoke, "Su Yue, I heard that you graduated from high school before. It is a pity to do farm work, and it is not suitable for you. Otherwise, I will arrange for you to be a teacher in the elementary school of our brigade. It is easy to be a teacher. The score points is not low."
Su Yue was stunned, and looked up at Han Qingsong's expression, but saw the soft light in his eyes. The love revealed under those orbs was not hidden at all.
He didn't even want to hide his affection!
Su Yue was shocked, did this person wants to pursue her?
Don't do it, comrade, it's impossible for us. My husband is Han Aiguo!
To be honest, although Su Yue had long discovered that the captain was interested at her, she didn't have any thoughts in this regard. Ever since she arrived, she avoided contact with him as much as possible, all because her destined lover is Han Aiguo. She didn't feel anything to Han Qingsong, to put it simply, she didn't care at all.
She also found it very strange. Although Han Qingsong's appearance and family conditions are not inferior to Han Aiguo, she just likes Han Aiguo when she sees Han Aiguo, but she doesn't have thoughts about this captain. On the contrary, Han Aiguo is full of things that she likes.
It can only be said that one's fate is destined to be Han Aiguo, her husband.
Thus, Su Yue can only apologize to Han Qingshong.
"Captain, I know you have a good intention, but this is not appropriate. Many of our educated youth came to the countryside after graduating from high school. They didn't lose in terms with my knowledge, but couldn't make it. If I become the teacher, others would definitely misunderstand me. I don't want to be gossiped.
After a pause, Su Yue continued: "I know that the captain wanted to help me because I was thin and unable to work, but I was afraid that others would not think so, so captain, thank you for your kindness, I will continue to do it. The original work, I will work hard in the future to not drag everyone back."
Seeing Su Yue's rejection, Han Qingsong felt a faint loss in his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he had to say: "Su Yue, you have a high level of awareness, everyone should learn from you. Since you don't want the brigade to take extra care of you, you must work hard in the future."
Su Yue nodded and thanked, "Thank you, captain, I will work hard and won't hold everyone back."
Pretending to look at the sky, Su Yue said again: "Captain, it's getting late, I'm going back for dinner, you should also go back."
Han Qingsong wanted to talk to her more, but hearing her say that, he couldn't say more, so he nodded and turned away.
Su Yue quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to enter the house with her back basket on her back. Who thought she would see Zhao Fang standing behind the door as soon as she opened the door, almost startling her.
"What are you doing here trying to scare people?"
Zhao Fang folded her arms and looked contemptuously, "This is not your place. I can stand wherever I want to stand. What are you so afraid of at seeing me? Aren't you guilty?"
Su Yue, "Why would I have a guilty conscience? Don't talk nonsense."
"I didn't talk nonsense, I heard it all." Zhao Fang's jealousy was about to drown her, "You don't know what your own guilty conscience is? Hmph, relying on your own beauty to let the captain arrange for you to be a teacher. Sue Yue, you're doing so well."
During this period of time, Zhao Fang might really die of anger due to Sue Yue. Originally, she moved here to eat something delicious, but in the end she couldn't eat it at all. They didn't share rations. They divided it into five of them, and they don't care about others at all but only themselves.
This group of people is terrible!
Su Yue frowned and scolded: "Don't run the train with your mouth full. Since you're listening behind the door, haven't you clearly heard that I have rejected the captain's proposal? If I have this idea, do I still need to reject it. I think you're jealous of me, right?"
"Who is jealous of you!" Zhao Fang jumped angrily, "I am not like you relying on your own appearance to confuse men all day, I eat through my own ability, unlike you!"
Zhao Fang herself is ordinary, and her figure is plain. After coming to the countryside, her unsightly face has become rough and dark. Compared with Su Yue, nothing could be compared at all.
Every time she saw Su Yue's beautiful face, she wanted to go up and scratch it. Su Yue could be so beautiful, admired by men and so many preferential treatments! Why does she have to work hard and not have enough to eat!
It was all because Su Yue hooked up with a man since she had a face to be proud of.
Su Yue stared at her coldly, "Which eye did you see me bewitching a man? You tell me right now. If you can't, I will go to the brigade department to sue you for slander, but let's see if the branch secretary does not care!"
Hearing Su Yue said that she was going to sue her, Zhao Fang's heart trembled, because she had no evidence at all. The only conversation with the captain that she had just heard could not be said casually, otherwise she would offend the captain.
"I don't have time to talk to you, I'm very busy," Zhao Fang disdainfully said then briskly walk away.
Seeing her running fast, Su Yue rolled her eyes and didn't bother to care about this clown.
After entering the room and putting away the things she brought back, she took the ribs she bought into the kitchen.
She wants to stew the ribs quickly and give it to Han Aiguo to drink in the evening, which will treat his wounds well.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the frogs croak, and the quietest night of the day comes.
The members went home with their own chairs and went to bed after having a cool chat outside.
Su Yue cooked up a pot of fragrant pork rib soup at dinner, and distributed a bowl to Li Xiaoqing and the other four of them. The rest of the soup was put in a clay pot she bought, covered with a lid, then placed it in the basket. Lastly, she wrapped it in thick clothes to stay warm.
Su Yue put a few dirty clothes on the basket, took a mallet, and pretended that she was going out to wash the clothes by the small river. She did the laundry, but she didn't go back after washing. Instead, she sneaked in quietly into the small forest in the middle of the pond.
Earlier, she gave the strong son of Wang Dasao's wife a few candies, and asked him to go quietly find Han Aiguo and tell him to come over at about this time.
Sue Yue: I don't know if Han Aiguo has come.
"Brother Han, are you here, Brother Han?", she called out gently.
As soon as the voice fell, a familiar low voice replied from inside, "I'm here."
Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked in with joy. There, she saw Han Aiguo standing under a big tree in the moonlight. She couldn't see his face clearly because of the night.
Su Yue walked forward, put the small bench on the ground which she brought out for washing clothes, and patted, "Brother Han, sit down, your legs can't stand for a long time."
Han Aiguo hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't refuse Sue Yue's expectant eyes. So he sat obediently, yet couldn't help being angry with himself. He shouldn't be here tonight. Since he knew he couldn't feel that way towards others, he should leave. He must stay away, but when Zhuangzi came to call, his heart was not firm, afraid that if he didn't come see her, this girl would stupidly wait in the woods. What if she faces danger?
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help worrying about her well-being. In the end, he didn't know what happened, but came over, earlier than her.
Han Aiguo was very helpless, helpless to himself. He has always been firm in one thing - unfailingly decides without hesitation. This is the first time he is so unprincipled and unreliable on one thing. He clearly wants to stay away, but when she calls him, he can't help it but take a step forward.
Su Yue didn't notice Han Aiguo's complex look. She took out the soup jar from the basket, opened the lid on it, and handed it to him with a spoon, "Brother Han, the soup is still hot, I will stew it so please drink it quickly. It's been a long time, drinking this is especially good for your legs."
Originally, Su Yue could also directly send soup to the Han family, but with so many people in the Han family, especially with several children, sending a pot of soup, is insufficient. Han Aiguo certainly may not even receive half a bowl, so she just wants to be a little selfish right now. Let him drink by himself, and drink more, which will help the wound.
Yet, it is also awkward sneaking him out just to eat delicious food.
Han Aiguo smelled the rich fragrance, and his heart seemed to be thrown into the boiling water, hot and tormented. Knowing that he should be thanking her for doing this, but in his heart, he couldn't help but feel that Sue Yue was looking forward to nourish him in particular. Thinking about this, he felt that he was whimsical. This mentality made him feel guilty and contradictory, and his whole heart fell. Nah, it can't be real.
No wonder he once heard from his comrades that the most helpless thing in the world is feelings. Feelings can make a person different from himself. Now, he finally understands this sentence.
Seeing that Han Aiguo was motionless, Su Yue was puzzled and asked, "Big Brother Han, what's the matter with you? Why don't you move?"
"No." Han Aiguo took a deep look at her face in the dark, took the soup pot, and said cruelly: "Thank you, but don't be so troublesome next time. There is nothing worth thanking everyone being from the same village. Help is normal."
Su Yue was taken aback, and suddenly felt that there was more politeness and alienation in his tone than before, as if indicating a plain relationship as the others in the same village.
As a woman, she felt it right away, and he wanted to alienate her.
Su Yue pressed her lips, thinking in her mind whether she was thinking too much or he was really alienating her.
But why? Wasn't it okay before? Is it because she thinks too much?
Su Yue couldn't think of a reason, so she had to put it down for the time being and said to him: "Brother Han, hurry up and drink the soup while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Han Aiguo gave a low "um", and drank it spoon by spoon, without making any sound. Quickly, he drank all of the soup.
Su Yue then asked him to eat the meat inside, and he was also obedient in chewing it all up.
Su Yue felt as if she was thinking too much, and her mood brightened again.
Han Aiguo put the spoon in the soup pot, put it back in the basket for Su Yue, stood up with the walking stick, and said, "Thank you for the soup, it's late, you should go back to rest and get up early tomorrow. "
It has been some time now. When Su Yue left, she told Li Xiaoqing and the others that she was out washing her clothes. If she doesn't go back, they should be worried. If they learn about her little rendezvous, it won't be good.
So Su Yue had to say goodbye to him, walked out of the forest with her basket, and shook her arms at him under the moonlight, "Big Brother Han, I'm leaving. Be careful when you go back."
"Okay." Han Aiguo replied in a low voice, quietly watching her figure drift away in the dark, until he walked into the yard and closed the door. He walked out step by step with his cane, moving faster than before.
The next day Su Yue dared not ask for leave again, and obediently followed everyone to get up early to go to work.
Three summers are not as busy with one autumn, which means that the autumn farm work is the most exhausting. After just cutting the rice, next is harvesting all kinds of beans, then breaking the corn, and now it is the turn to harvest sweet potatoes.
During this period of time, the members' task was to harvest sweet potatoes, slice these sweet potatoes, and then dry it all. After drying, store the sweet potatoes. Dried sweet potatoes are important rations for many members to maintain their livelihoods. In winter, many people rely on sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs.
When Su Yue saw the sweet potatoes still stained with mud, she immediately imagined a very, very delicious dish, that is, candied sweet potatoes.

This dish is simply the favorite of many women and children. Anyway, Su Yue herself likes it very much. When the sweet potatoes are on the market, she would buy some fresh ones to make candied sweet potatoes and share them with neighbors by the way. The neighbors would then praise and shout, delicious!
Thinking of the good taste of candied sweet potatoes, Su Yue couldn't help but secrete water in her mouth. Suddenly she wants to eat it.
As a foodie, and a foodie with superb cooking skills, the last thing you are not afraid of is being greedy, because when you are greedy, you can immediately make delicious food to treat your mouth.
Su Yue planned to make a candied sweet potato after work. Then she remembered that Sister Jiang asked her to make some more cakes yesterday, so she decided to go to the Han's to bake cakes. Afterwards, she can just make a sweet potato to relieve her hunger.
After work, Su Yue returned to the educated youth for dinner. After estimating the time that the Han family should have finished eating, she took Li Xiaoqing to the Han family on the grounds of stopping by. Sure enough, the Han family had finished dinner and was in the yard. While enjoying the cool talk, several children were crazily playing together.
The children's eyes are the sharpest. When the first kid saw her, they all rushed forward as if they had seen their long-lost relatives. Maomao of Han Lao San's family simply hugged Su Yue's thigh and looked up. He expectantly asked: "Auntie, what is delicious today?"
What the, this kid knows that there is something delicious when he sees her now?
