From farming to business

He took out the last piece of clothing in the basin and wrung out the water, shook the pole in front of him and spread it out, Su Yongyue supported his waist to move around a few times, put down his sleeves and picked up the wooden basin, just two steps away, there was a knock on the door.

Yu Feng and Chang Le went to town again today, and before leaving, they said they would be back at dinner time, it was still early, so it must not be them, he thought maybe the neighbors came to visit again.

"Cousin, it's me!"

Before he could put down the wooden basin in his hand, a familiar voice came from outside the door, Su Yongyue walked over quickly, put the wooden basin by the door, and took down the latch.

In the village, few people still tie the door when they are at home, but Yu Feng is worried. When going out, he would be told to fasten the door, so that people he knew would come and open it.

Su Yongyue felt that his worries were unnecessary, not to mention that there were no such bold people in the village, even if he was there, he could be called back so that he would not dare to come again.

But since the other party was worried, he didn't want to argue with the man, and it didn't take much to lock the door, and he was quieter at home by himself.

Su Cao, who was standing outside the door, greeted him with a smile, opened her mouth and called out to her cousin again, a dead leaf was stained on his hair, and he was carrying a bundle of dry firewood behind him, it was obvious that he had just returned from the mountains.

Having been brushed off a few times, the Su family, even Yu Feng, became more and more distasteful to see him. They usually don't look good when they meet in the village. They often tell people that he is a white-eyed wolf who doesn't know how to help the family at all. Not to mention them, the old man seldom goes back to see them at such an old age.

Su Yongyue heard these words occasionally but didn't pay attention to them. He didn't care about those people at all, and nothing he said could hurt his heart. On the contrary, his mother went to the door a few times because of worry, but he didn't seem to be affected. Later, I ignored it.

He has heard a lot of gossip and gossip since he was a kid, and if he really cared about it, he would have been pissed off. He always ignored those who didn't gossiping in front of him, and beat those who dared to come to him.

Since meeting Yu Feng, his temper has also subsided a lot, and he is even more unwilling to care about some insignificant people or things, and now he rarely even goes out.

On the other hand, the Su family had been making trouble for a few days, and seeing that it didn't affect others at all, I was so angry that I was half dead. The whole family wants face, and they don't want to make a scene that is too ugly to be laughed at. Recently, they have calmed down a bit.With one Xi one tuan one √.

It's just that Su Cao has been more strictly controlled by them, and he has to be scolded from time to time, so that people don't have anything to do with him, and his elbows are turned outward all day long.

After those two incidents, his heart is much calmer now, he can think about many things, his nose is not nose and eyes are not eyes when facing his family, he just talks less and does more, without taking it into his heart at all.

On weekdays, I come here looking for opportunities to wash clothes and go up the mountain. Although I don’t meet many times, the relationship is stronger. Seeing that my cousin is living a good life now, I am half gratified and half envious. Can you find a good husband.

After welcoming him into the door, Su Yongyue took him into the main room. Although the weather was cold, there was still some fine sweat on the other person's forehead after going into the mountain, and it was easy to catch cold after standing outside for a long time.

Su Cao followed him into the door, then lifted the cloth towel in her hand, revealing a few eggs lying inside, and said happily: "Cousin, I'm very lucky today, I found a pheasant nest and picked up some eggs." Come back, I will send it to you when I go down the mountain."

Su Yongyue glanced sideways, pointed at him, and made a gesture of eating. Yu Feng was willing to buy him good things. He didn't lack these foods, but the other party's suffering at home just happened to replenish his body.

"No need, cousin..." Su Cao shook her head resolutely, and stuffed wild eggs together with a cloth towel, "You know, these won't go into my mouth even if I take them back. I'd be happier if I gave you food."

He pushed it over suddenly, Su Yongyue didn't bother to refuse it for a long time, and when he wanted to hand it back, the other party had already unloaded the firewood and sat down on the stool. He had no choice but to hold it and put it on the table.

"I don't have anything good to give to my cousin. These are your birthday presents." Su Cao watched as he took some snacks from a small cabinet on one side and sat down opposite, holding his chin with his hand and showing a smile. .

Su Yongyue, who was putting the snacks in front of him, paused for a moment, and after a moment of daze, she remembered that today was her own birthday.

When he was at home in the past years, his mother would cook noodles for him on his birthday, but he never remembered the date, and this year he completely forgot after getting married.

He pursed his lips with a smile, and pushed the snack plate towards the other party. Although he didn't care much about his birthday, he was naturally happy to be remembered.

"Recently, there are a lot of matchmakers coming and going at home. They don't have much time to take care of me, so they can take the opportunity to come up the mountain." Su Cao didn't show politeness to him, and took a piece of snack from the plate.

Su Yongyue looked up at him with some doubts, matchmaker?The three younger members of the Su family are not married now, Su Zhiyuan has just turned fifteen this year, so there should be no hurry, it is estimated that it is the other two.

Su Cao, who took a bite of her snack, saw his expression, swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "It's mainly for Su Mei, after all, she will be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, and the Su family has high requirements for choosing a son-in-law." , I always have to find more and choose carefully, and secondly, I also considered finding a wife for Su Youcai, I said yesterday that I met a girl, I don’t know if it’s decided or not.”

No one has ever talked to him about these things in the family, and he doesn't care about them himself, and what he knows is only occasionally heard. Thinking of this, he paused, leaned forward on the table, lowered his voice, "There are a few people in Su Mei's family who are satisfied, but for some reason she doesn't want to, and she has been arguing for a long time because of this. These days, my mother is locked in the room, and she is losing her temper."

Because of these things, the atmosphere of Su's family has been very bad recently, everyone is putting on a face, and he is more careful when doing things, for fear of provoking someone who will be scolded again.

Regarding the reason for Su Mei's resistance to the marriage, Su Yongyue had some thoughts. Thinking of what she said on the day they got married, she sneered in her heart.

Not to mention that Yu Feng is not very interested in her, but he is. With her arrogant temperament, she can still make trouble, and she is still making trouble, but it is because of the idea in her heart that she is unwilling to make trouble.

Either... or with the intention of squeezing himself out completely, he lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he owed to that family in his previous life to be entangled in such a relentless way in this life.

Su Yongyue pursed her lips and showed a lukewarm smile. No matter what they thought, as long as they didn't provoke her to come to her, they usually wouldn't bother.

Su Cao can't stay here longer, she will be scolded if she goes back late, so she ate two pieces of snacks and chatted with him, and held hands with him before leaving, wishing him peace and joy in the future and everything goes well.

The pleasing appearance made Su Yongyue reach out and pinch his face, feeling that he has become more lively recently, probably because he has been playing with that nonsensical Chang Le for a long time, and he has also begun to become heartless.

He actually likes this way, it's better than the submissive and gloomy look at the beginning, it's easier to care less about things, and he can feel more at ease in the future.

After seeing him off, the yard suddenly became quiet again, Su Yongyue missed Yu Feng for no reason, wondered if that person remembered that today was her birthday.

Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes and smiled and shook his head, how could he start to be hypocritical, to care about such things, he was really spoiled as his mother said.

Looking up at the sky that was about to start to turn yellow, he felt that it was still early, and it happened that some withered yellow leaves came from nowhere in the yard, so he cleaned it up.

When I put down the broom and went into the stove, I thought in my heart that when the weather got warmer, I would come back with a whole nest of chicks, and the chirping would make the house more lively.

Moved a small stool and sat at the door of the kitchen, ready to choose the dishes first, some of the food they ate at home were bought from the villagers, some were brought back from the town by Yu Feng, and sometimes their parents would also give some come over.

Due to the cold weather, Su Yongyue only planted cabbage and radishes in the vegetable field in the backyard, and they just gave birth to the baby two days ago, and it will take some time before they can eat them.

In fact, it was a little late to plant vegetables, and in another month and a half it might snow again, and he didn't know if he could live, so he was still worried.

Thinking in his heart, the movements of his hands did not stop, and the two dishes were quickly selected. He stood up and kicked the mess on the ground to the corner, planning to clean it up later.

Just as he turned around with the dishes in his hand, before he could step into the kitchen, someone knocked on the door again. He turned around suspiciously, and first checked the sky to confirm the time.

At this time, most people are preparing dinner, and no one will bother to visit other people's houses. Could it be that Yu Feng is back?

He put the vegetables into the stove, clapped his hands and walked towards the door, perhaps he heard his footsteps, someone outside the door called him, clearly it was Liu Hefang's voice.

He walked to the door without stopping for a few steps, and opened the door neatly. To his surprise, not only the woman, but even Su Dezhi stood outside the door.

"What's wrong, are you stupid to see your parents?" Seeing him startled, Liu Hefang smiled and stretched out her hand to grab his arm and patted it, leading the person into the door by herself.

Su Yongyue regained her composure and looked at her, then at her own father, seeing that they were all smiling, her heart suddenly moved, her expression softened, even Su Cao remembered his birthday, how could his parents not remember.

Sure enough, after Liu Hefeng entered the door with someone, he patted his arm again, and said, "How can I not eat a bowl of birthday noodles made by my mother for your birthday?"

Although the two families lived in the same village and it only took a short while to visit, they were married after all, and they seldom came over to disturb them on weekdays, but Yu Feng was sensible and took people back from time to time.

Su Yongyue heard that they really came to celebrate her birthday as she had guessed, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she nodded cooperatively.

During the two years when they were separated from the Su family, their lives were more difficult. Most of the dishes on the dinner table were wild vegetables dug from the mountains, and they could not taste a mouthful of meat after ten and a half months. There is always a bowl of pure white noodles covered with two fried golden eggs.

Parents always smiled and asked him to eat quickly, but they didn't touch a bite, they only said that it was auspicious to eat the birthday noodles by themselves, and they could live a long life.

Su Yongyue understands their intentions, and never refuses such intentions, she just silently swears in her heart that when she grows up, she must respect them well, and treat herself with the same intentions as they do.

As soon as Liu Hefang came, he couldn't control the kitchen, he could only help out by the side, and even Su Dezhi was sent to the door to wash the vegetables.

When there are people in the family, it is no longer so quiet and quiet, but instantly popular, Su Yongyue feels lively just listening to them talking.

Because he can't speak by himself, he always likes some sounds around him, whether it's the sound of cutting vegetables or washing vegetables, even the sound of a dog barking from a neighbor's house is pleasant to him.

He fetched water from the tank and put it in Liu Hefang's hand, watched her start kneading the dough, then turned around and left the kitchen to go to Su Dezhi's to get some washed vegetables and cut them.

After the two came, the door that was only half-hidden was pushed open at this moment, he looked up almost at the same time, the man who had been away for a day was coming in, and a smile appeared on his face, "Yongyue ,I'm back."
