Chapter 74
All the brothers in the Su family burst out laughing, "Brother Ninth, my fourth grandfather heard your poem, and I have to break your legs."
The fourth grandfather they talked about was Su Jiu's biological grandfather. He was also a scholar. However, he was unable to obtain any honors in his life, which was a lifelong regret. He dreamed of providing a scholar among his descendants.
When Su Jiu was a child, he had to bear all the hopes of his grandfather. It turned out that this guy was not born to study. He was obviously very smart, but when it came to reading, he had seven or six skills and was left completely clueless.
The Fourth Grandpa refused to give up, always feeling that it was because he did not teach carefully enough that his grandson did not appreciate the joy of reading. Therefore, Su Jiu's childhood was very pitiful, and he was often beaten by his grandfather until he doubted his life.
Mentioning her grandfather, Su Jiu rubbed her head and laughed, "It's not that easy for him to hit me now. He's getting older and his legs can no longer keep up. Every time in order to let him vent his anger, I have to
Pretend to be caught by him and let him beat you up."
The brothers of the Su family were laughing non-stop. Everyone knew that Brother Ninth looked fierce, but in fact he was the most filial to the elders in the family. He was also a kind and loving son in the clan. He was very prestigious among their generation.
It was Su Jiu who made it possible for everyone to come together and accompany Su's mother and Su Min to Qifu County to find their relatives this time.
Everyone ate and chatted, and finally, under the influence of wine, they began to tell each other about the embarrassing things in their childhood.
He stole melons from other people's fields and was driven out for several miles. He squatted until his feet were numb when he pooped and almost died when he fell into a manhole. Anyway, he didn't open the pot and lifted it, but no one was angry. At most, he was laughed at.
Think hard about other people's embarrassing things and laugh back at them.
Zhouzhou and Yueyue laughed so hard when they heard the "glorious deeds" of these uncles.
The laughter lasted until late at night.
Several brothers from the Su family, as well as Zhou Shuisheng and Cheng Tieniu, all drank too much, but Su Qin and Su's mother remained sober. Both mother and daughter knew that they were too drunk, so they felt that they were almost done, so they stopped drinking.
The two children had already gone to bed.
They couldn't take care of the grown men anymore, so they removed the dishes from the table and asked them to lie down on the table and fall asleep. They then worked together to help Zhao Xiuzhi back into the house.
When I woke up the next day, it was already bright.
Su Qin only felt that she slept extremely peacefully, and when she got up, she felt refreshed and refreshed.
I thought it was her who felt this way, but when Mother Su got up, she was a little surprised and said: "I didn't dream until dawn last night! I haven't had such a good night's sleep in many years. It's so comfortable."
Su Qin guessed that it might be the effect of the wine, but she was not sure. After all the brothers of the Su family woke up, Su Qin asked them, "How do you feel? Do you have a headache, do you feel uncomfortable in your body?"
?”
The brothers of the Su family all shook their heads, "It doesn't hurt. I feel comfortable all over and feel refreshed."
Su Qin smiled with satisfaction. It was difficult for her wine to be sold at a good price!
The brothers of the Su family also realized that their current state did not look like they had just experienced a hangover!
That wine is so wonderful! It really lives up to the name Wangyou!
When Zhao Xiuzhi woke up, she found that she had stayed in Su Qin's new home all night. She felt embarrassed when she got up. "Qin Niang, I caused you trouble last night."
Su Qin smiled and said, "What's the trouble? You and Brother Tieniu have been helping with the work for a long time, and we haven't even had a bite of food. I feel like the hospitality was not good enough."
Zhao Xiuzhi waved her hands repeatedly, "If you still say that the hospitality was not thorough, I won't be able to find a better one in the world. Those dishes and wine last night were like nothing I have ever tasted in my life."
It's a pity that she got drunk too early and didn't even take a few bites of the food.
Su Qin left her and Zhao Tiezhu to have breakfast. Zhao Xiuzhi quickly declined, "No, no, I didn't go home all night last night. I guess the family is almost dying of anxiety. Qin Niang, let's go back first. If anything happens at home, we can come to my house."
Go and shout."
Su Qin couldn't keep her, so she quickly went back to the house and brought out two leftovers.
It's said to be leftovers, but in fact it hasn't been touched much. "Sister-in-law, it's hot and there are too many leftovers to put away. It's a pity if they go bad. You can take some back and save yourself the trouble of cooking in the morning."
These two dishes are all meat.
Zhao Xiuzhi didn't show any pretense, she took it quickly, put it in a basket, and called Zhou Shuisheng, "Brother Shuisheng, will you come with us?"
Zhou Shuisheng nodded, "Okay."
Su Qin didn't bring him leftovers. After all, he was a single young man and it was inappropriate for her to give him anything.
Su Qin and Su's mother sent the three people out of the door and watched them go away before turning around. Today they had to take care of the house carefully again.
The mother and daughter did not notice that after they turned around, Zhou Shuisheng, who had walked away, looked back several times towards where they had just been standing.
On this day, the brothers of the Su family were carefully repairing every corner of the mansion. The fruit tree garden in the front yard was also completely tidied up. The bluestone road leading to the main house was also washed with water and the backyard was cleaned.
The vegetable patch was opened.
Finally, the Su brothers went into the mountains to cut down some bamboo poles and small trees, then built a chicken shed and a livestock shed in the backyard.
A well-equipped farmhouse was built.
Su Qin went to the county again and bought a batch of furniture.
The house is large, and almost all the previous furniture was used as firewood. Without furniture, it looks particularly empty.
The cellar in the kitchen is not small, about twenty square meters. It is made of neat granite. It is very strong, cool and dry, and is very suitable for storing food.
Su Qin knew that due to the disaster, there would be a shortage of food for a long time, so she went to several grain stores and bought nearly two thousand kilograms of grain in batches. Su Min and Su Jiu drove it
He was taken home in a donkey cart and put in the cellar.
Only when you have food in your hands can you not panic.
It took nearly two days to get the house in order.
There were also a few fish fished out of the river in the small pond in the backyard, causing Zhouzhou and Yueyue to lie on the edge of the pond against the sun and watch them for a long time.
The edge of the small pond is built high with stones, which is very nice. Children can lie there without worrying about falling.
Su Qin looked at the vibrant courtyard and felt extremely satisfied.
This will be her base from now on!
The third day was the day agreed upon by Su Qin and Shopkeeper Xu.
Early in the morning, Su Qin took out a small wine jar weighing half a catty from the space, and asked Su Shiyi to make two snacks to add to the scene.
Shopkeeper Xu arrived very early. Almost as soon as the Su family's breakfast was over, Shopkeeper Xu's carriage drove directly to the door of the mansion.
The family who originally built this house probably planned to live here for the rest of their lives, so they spent money to build a road leading from the house to the house below, making it very convenient for cars and horses to enter and exit.
This road was previously blocked by weeds, but it has been cleared out by the Su brothers in the past two days, and it looks completely different.
Shopkeeper Xu took a look at the surroundings of the house. As a well-informed man, he could tell at a glance that the house had just been occupied not long ago.
My heart was calm before, but I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
