Chapter 477 The rhubarb at the end of the village has company

After Su Ziling finished it, she took a kitchen knife and came over to cut with Su's mother. The two of them went much faster. Suddenly, two fast and rhythmic "dongdong" sounds sounded in the kitchen.

Two people were peeling and two were cutting. There was half a pot of water in the big pot, a fire was burning in the stove, and the kitchen was bright, except for the fire in the firepit and the oil lamp on the side.

There was a creaking sound, and the kitchen door was pushed open. The wind blew in and the flames on the oil lamp swayed. Su Zizhong raised his hand to block it. Only when Su's father's door was closed did he let go.

Listening to his cold breath, Mother Su raised her head and glanced at him, "Why are you back so late?"

Father Su rubbed his hands, pulled a stool over, and sat by the fire pit to warm himself up.

He sniffed and said, "After chatting with Lao Wangtou for a while, are you going to bed?"

"Yes." Mother Su said lightly, "Have you eaten yet? I'll give you a bowl of rice noodles if you haven't."

"After eating, we ate at Lao Wangtou's house. I originally wanted to go home to eat, but they were so enthusiastic that they refused to let me go, so I ate two bowls at their house."

Su's mother looked at Su Ziling, "Look, I said your father won't be hungry, so he ate at whichever house he rushed to."

Seeing that Su's father was very cold, she stood up, took a bowl, put a spoonful of sugar in it, and cut two thin slices of ginger.

There was a kettle on the firepit, and the water inside was bubbling. She took it out and poured a bowl.

"Here, drink this to avoid catching a cold."

Su's father looked at the brown sugar ginger water in the bowl, smiled, took the bowl and held it in his hands, "It's really cold outside, too cold to bear."

Su Zizhong nodded, "It is indeed colder this year than in previous years. There was no frost in previous years, but it has been frosted this year. The grass is covered with white flowers."

"That's not true!" Su's father sniffed, blew on the sugar water, and took a sip.

"So this year's peas are sweeter than previous years. By the way, I picked the peas. Have you found them?"

"Huh? I didn't pay attention."

Su Ziling groaned.

"Oh, I guess it's still in the basket. I'll bring it in for you to try." He put down the bowl and went out to get the peas.

The wind was too strong, so he carefully opened a crack and quickly closed it after people squeezed out.

After taking the peas, he quickly closed the door and said, "The peas are growing well this year, and they are very sweet."

As he said that, he put a handful towards the fire pit and said, "It's too cold. I'll bake it for you."

"Sure." Su Ziling smiled, she liked roasted peas, they had a unique taste.

Su's father glanced at her and said, "What's wrong? I'm baking this for your mother. You want to eat it yourself!"

Su Ziling: "???"

Su's father glanced at her lightly and said meaningfully: "Maybe you can find someone to help you bake it."

Su Ziling: "..."

She turned to look at Su Zizhong, "Brother."

Su Zizhong nodded, "I'll bake it for you."

Su Ziling started to squeal again instantly, and moaned, "If you don't bake it for me, my elder brother will bake it for me, hum!"

Su Zizhong grabbed a handful of peas and threw them into the ashes with a "plop" sound. Su's father took a stick and pulled out the peas that Su Zizhong had thrown in without raising his head.

"What are you baking for her? Can you bake it for her once and bake it for her forever?"

Su Zizhong looked at the peas that were picked out, was silent for a moment and said, "I'll roast them myself."

"Oh." Su's father said oh, and without changing his expression, he took back the handful of peas and roasted them.

Su Ziling: "..."

Su's father continued: "Besides, when you get married, you will have to bake for your wife, so how can you take care of her! If she wants to eat, she can find someone to do it by herself!"

Su Zizhong: "If you have a wife, I will bake it for Ah Qing."

Father Su gritted his teeth, "Then your wife will be unhappy!"

"No!" Su Zizhong shook his head, "Find someone who gets along well with Ah Qing, and I will take my wife and bake it for Ah Qing."

Father Su: "..."

Su's father looked at him with hatred, and he didn't know whether this kid did it on purpose or if he really didn't hear the tone of his words.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Mother Su on the side burst into laughter.

Even Su Ziling couldn't hold it back. The mother and daughter burst into laughter, and they broke into a ball of laughter.

"You still have the nerve to laugh!" Su's father glared at her.

The smile on Su Ziling's face stopped suddenly. She pursed her lips and looked at Su's mother, "Mom, my father is cruel to me!"

Mother Su frowned and stared back, "Why are you so crazy tonight? If you don't help me, go back to the house and sleep! You have to clean up every day!"

Father Su: "?"

Su's father's face was filled with grievances, and his eyes were full of disbelief:

Is he looking for trouble?

Isn’t it your daughter-in-law’s request to urge her daughter-in-law tactfully?

Mother Su glanced at him: I said urging in a tactful way, was that tactful thing you just said?

And Su's mother's look in his eyes meant: Come on, keep up the good work!

Su's father grinned, and quickly put it away after he realized it. He said with a straight face: "You are still protecting her! Can you protect her for a while? Can you protect her for a lifetime? When we are all old and go down, who will To protect her?"

After saying that, he glanced at Su Ziling with disgust, "Flowers have petals, garlic has petals, and the rhubarb at the end of the village has company. Just you..."

Before he finished speaking, Su's mother suddenly stood up and said, "Su Dongqing, I gave you face, didn't I?"

The Li family has been hunting for several generations, so they naturally have tough personalities. Su's mother is relatively gentle, but her true nature is still easily exposed when she gets angry.

Such as this time.

Seeing that something was wrong, Su's father drank some ginger tea and ran away, "Daughter-in-law, I'm going back to the house to sleep."

Looking at Su's father running away, Su Ziling said: "..."

She didn't know what her old father was planning.

"Auntie?"

Meeting her eyes, Mother Su's eyes flashed, "Are you tired? When you are tired, go back to the house and sleep. There isn't much left, so I'll take care of it."

Su Ziling lowered her head and cut the bamboo shoots. She shook her head gently when she heard her words, her voice was as usual, "I'm not tired, why did my father suddenly say this? Could it be that someone in the village was gossiping?"

She naturally also knew that she was a girl who was exposed to the public, and there were really few unmarried people at this age, so she was afraid that those people would talk behind her back.

By the way, just like Yu Manqing, people say it a lot.

"No, where did you want to go?"

Mother Su's words really weren't meant to comfort her. Indeed, no one in the village made a fuss about her not being married.

Everyone likes her now, even if they say it behind her back, what they say is that she is capable, smart, and capable.

She knew a lot, was warm-hearted, and didn't hide anything. Everyone thought of her well, and no one said anything about her not getting married.

Some people even didn't want her to get married. Some people had vaguely mentioned it to Su's mother, asking Su Ziling to stay at home and find her a son-in-law. Some even introduced people from their parents' families.

Of course, they were all rejected by Su's mother, who insisted that she could not make the final decision on Su Ziling's marriage, and that she had to nod her head.

Everyone then stopped. Of course, Su's mother had never mentioned these things to Su Ziling, but she still hoped that she could find her husband.

After all, like Su's father said, they couldn't stay with her forever.
