From farming to business

The old people usually have a big event when they celebrate their new year. They invite more people to be lively and lively, saying that it can attract some blessings. Even the less wealthy families in the village will probably set up a few tables when the elders at home are full year old.

The old lady of the Su family turned [-] this year, which is considered a big birthday. A few days before her birthday, she invited close family members in the village to have a drink, and the family was very busy.

Although Su Dezhi was separated, he still hadn't broken the relationship, so he naturally wanted to go back to help, and Liu Hefang followed him every day recently.

Only Su Yongyue was not happy to see that family, and his parents were also afraid that he would lose control of his temper when he went, so they let him stay at home honestly, and followed him back early in the morning on the day of his birthday, helping him to talk about the noon. banquet.

A lot of people were invited here today, so the table and benches were also borrowed from neighbors, and a total of six tables were set up in the main room and the yard, as an auspicious number, just to celebrate a birthday. Marriage would not be that exaggerated.

Su Yongyue let out a cold snort when she saw such a spectacle, and took away a whole three or two taels of silver from their house, and ended up setting up just a few tables.

When he was sent to help in the kitchen, his eyes would turn to the sky. There were fish and meat in the dishes, but obviously it didn't cost that much money. He wasn't even willing to kill a chicken, and the vegetables were grown by himself. of.

"Cousin, you're here." Su Cao, who was squatting on the ground helping to wash the vegetables, stood up when she saw him, and greeted him with a smile.

I haven't seen him for some days, the other person's complexion doesn't look good, and he has lost a lot of weight, obviously he is not comfortable, Su Yongyue frowned, raised his hand and pinched his face, unable to lift the flesh.

Apart from him and Sun Xiulan, there were a few other women who had been invited to help in the kitchen. They were so busy right now that no one had time to pay attention to their two little ones.

Seeing that his expression was not very good-looking, Su Cao thought it was because of the noise and irritability inside, so she pushed him with the back of her hand that didn't get wet, and said, "It's busy here, just go out and wait for the banquet to start."

Su Yongyue didn't go out according to his strength, and dragged the person to squat down beside the big basin where he was washing vegetables just now, rolled up his sleeves and started, obviously to help.

Seeing that he was willing to stay here, Su Cao didn't say anything, stretched out her hand and continued to wash the vegetables, and said, "It's rare that there is something lively at home, so you can come back and have a look."

Su Yongyue glanced at him sideways as a response, and his parents would also find time to come and walk around on weekdays, and he was not happy at all, and the last time he came here rarely was because he was worried about this person.

Liu Hefang, who had gone to say hello to the old lady, stepped into the kitchen and saw him squatting there honestly helping to wash the vegetables without causing any trouble, so she felt relieved and rolled up her sleeves to help others.

It was knowing that Sun Xiulan was the only one in the kitchen, so he sent him here. Although the relationship with them was not good, they never provoked each other, and they were able to live in peace with each other.

By the time the yard gradually became noisy, it was already close to noon, and the dishes in the kitchen were basically ready, just waiting for the table to be served.

Usually, there is a rare lively event in the village. Most people are happy to be able to sit together and have fun. The yard is full of chatting and laughing with each other.

Because of the current weather, the noon sun is the most venomous, sitting under the sun and eating a meal may cause you to suffer from heatstroke, so the Su family temporarily put up coarse cloth in the yard to make a temporary shed, tables and chairs It's all placed below, and it's considered a shady place.

People with some identities and relatives, like the village head and the others, sat on the two seats of the main room, which naturally made them feel better than outside.

Several juniors of the Su family were also arranged outside. The children were all young, so it would only matter if it was hotter, and they might run away after eating two bites.

Su Yongyue, who didn't want to deal with them when the meal was ready, came out of the kitchen until the dishes were served. He was sweating for a long time in it, but he would rather stay in the kitchen than eat at the same table with those people. in.

Seeing his displeasure, Su Cao stretched out her hand and tugged at his sleeves. After all, it was the old lady's birthday. unhappy.

Feeling his movements, Su Yongyue's expression eased, anyway, he had agreed with his parents, he would go back first after dinner, not to stay here any longer, just bear it for a while.

It's just that he wanted to finish his meal quietly and leave, but the others didn't want to make him happy, almost as soon as his butt touched the stool, someone opened his mouth.

"Hehe, isn't this cousin Ayue? I haven't seen you for a while, why is it still like this..." The speaker purposely lengthened the ending of the last word, then smiled and didn't speak.

Su Yongyue took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth without even raising his eyelids, obviously unwilling to talk to him.

The person who spoke was Su Zhiyuan, the son of his uncle Su Decai. He is about 15 years old this year. He can read a little because of his father. Mo Mo likes to look at people with his chin up.

Without his response, Su Zhiyuan didn't get angry. Instead, he picked up the wine cup at hand and said, "I miss my cousin for a long time. I toast you a glass."

Before Su Yongyue said anything, Su Cao frowned first, and said for him: "My cousin is Shuanger, he is not good at drinking, so don't embarrass him."

Generally, girls and Shuang'er don't drink much, and Su Yongyue naturally hasn't drunk it, and it's not because of anything else, but because they think it's spicy and unpalatable, and it's not easy to drink.

"That's right!" Su Zhiyuan suddenly slapped his forehead with his free hand, drank the glass of wine himself, shook the glass and said with a smile: "My cousin is always so brave, I almost forgot that he came from Shuanger on."

Before he finished his words, there were a few chuckles during the dinner. Except for Su Mei and Su Youcai who were sitting on the other side of him without any scruples, the other juniors from the same village who arranged to sit with them also lowered their heads and laughed. .

Everyone in the village knew about Su Yongyue's temper. When he got angry, he dared to attack no matter who he was.

Being ridiculed in front of everyone like this, even Su Cao was a little unhappy, but before he opened his mouth, his hand on the table was held down.

When I came here today, my parents reminded Su Yongyue not to cause trouble, and if there are any unpleasant words, it will be over after listening to them, and if I bear it for a while, these few words will not make him angry.

"Come on, everyone, today is my mother's [-]th birthday, let's toast her and wish her good fortune as the East China Sea."

There was no chance for them to argue, and Su Decai's raised voice came from the main room. In order to make it easier for the people at the table to see, the door of the main room was wide open, so that the room would not look deserted.

An elderly woman with gray temples was sitting in the center, wearing a dark red dress, with a cheerful smile on her face, she looked very kind-hearted.

In his area, there were sounds of birthday celebrations one after another all around him, and there was a lively scene of celebration for a while, only Su Yongyue lowered his head to eat, with a blank expression on his face.

This old man, whom he should call grandma, has been biased since he can remember, as if his father was a picked-up child, and his mother only gave birth to a twin like him, making him even more disliked .

Su Decai has some talent and can speak, he can make people smile with just a few words, she is the most favored by her, although Su Dewen is stupid, but he has no backbone, he is very obedient, mother can do whatever she wants, and she also recruits her like.

Only his father, Su Dezhi, is honest and willing to work, but he can't speak and has his own opinions. It is inevitable that there will be times when she doesn't like it. Compared with the two, his heart is naturally biased.

Because of these reasons, Su Yongyue is a twin, how can he catch her eyes, every time she sees him, it's like seeing a debt collector, and she's a bit more disrespectful than Su Cao.

"Poor cousin, although he wants to bless, but he can't open his mouth. It really hurts my brother." Seeing him sitting there eating in silence, Su Zhiyuan, who had just sent his blessing, smiled and said, not half heartbroken. state.

"Isn't it? My sister is also very distressed." Su Mei followed him and opened her mouth, looking at the people eating vegetables, her eyes were full of sarcasm.

Listening to the two of them singing and talking there, Su Yongyue finally raised his eyes and took a look, the corners of his lips curled up in an indifferent arc, and then he turned his eyes away and ignored it.

Su Mei frowned slightly, she didn't expect him to be so calm today, and wanted him to lose his temper and cause some trouble, adding to his fierce reputation.

"If you want me to tell you, what are you asking such a dumb person to do? You can't say a word and you still have a face on your face. It adds to the bad luck." Su Youcai was very disgusted before he swallowed the food he was chewing. He opened his mouth with an undisguised sneer.

He always speaks straightforwardly without any scruples, and never cares about his face or disgrace, which made other people at the table who were just watching the show feel a little embarrassed, and just bowed their heads and pretended that he didn't exist.

"How could brother say such a thing..." Forget about the sarcasm of the two overtly and covertly, it is embarrassing for him to be so naked, and Su Cao's face is a bit ugly.

"You, Shuang'er, don't have the right to speak. You still think that you haven't lost enough people in the family these days!" It's better if he didn't speak, but when he did, Su Youcai became even more angry.

"Snapped!"

The sound of chopsticks being slapped on the table made everyone look over subconsciously. A quiet person stared at him with indifferent eyes.

"What, what? Did I say something wrong?" Su Youcai was taken aback by his actions, and when he realized it, he straightened up and looked at him with his chin raised, "You two twins, apart from giving the family It's embarrassing... what are you doing?!"

Before he could finish his words, Su Yongyue stood up against the table, looked at the other party subconsciously leaning back, curled his lips into a sneer, turned and left from the table, and headed towards the backyard, presumably going to the toilet.

As soon as he left, everyone at the table subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He has fought so many times since he was a child, and there are not a few men who have suffered in his hands. As long as he loses his temper, he seems desperate. It's really hard to fight, and if you start a serious fight with a Shuang'er, you will lose the face of these boys.

Seeing him leaving, Su Cao wanted to follow him to have a look, but Zhou Fen asked him to add some food to the people in the house at this time, so he could only withdraw his worried eyes and went to the kitchen.

Instead, Su Mei rolled her eyes and whispered a few words in Su Zhiyuan's ear. After the two exchanged glances, she got up and went to the backyard.

Naturally, Su Yongyue didn't leave to go to the toilet, he just couldn't get angry in his heart, so he came out to take a breath, lest he couldn't control himself and flipped the table for a while.

The toasts and laughter in his ear gradually faded away, which made him heave a sigh of relief. He didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food, but the faces of those people made him feel sick.

Hearing the childish cry of the chicken, he turned his head and glanced at the chicken coop not far away, walked over and squatted down, when someone approached the big chicken and the little chickens thought it was time to eat, they huddled together in front of him group.

He stretched out his hand and poked a yellow chick on the head, and the little guy pecked on his finger. It didn't hurt, but it was a little itchy, and his mood seemed to improve a little bit.

He withdrew his hands and put them on his knees, his face softened, watching the chicken cubs who hadn't got anything to eat screamed in dissatisfaction and dispersed, staggering and continuing to make trouble.

"Cousin, it's so lively up front, why are you hiding here by yourself, but brother's words made you angry?"

Just now he felt a little more relaxed, when the female voice behind him made him frown slightly, he turned his head to look over, and it turned out that someone he didn't want to see was coming.
