Zhang was a little absent-minded when she worked today, which was definitely abnormal for her. No matter how big the things in the world were, they were not as big as the local work.
But today...
She worked for a while and then stayed in the field with a hoe in a daze. Finally, she just picked up the hoe and went to chat with her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Tui'er, do you think something is wrong with Su Ruyi recently?"
Liu Cuier grunted and wiped her sweat, and said, "No, that's why I won't quarrel with her recently. Mom, what do you think?"
"What am I thinking?"
Zhang hoeed down a nest of grass next to the wheat. When it rained, the wheat became energetic, but the weeds became even more energetic.
"This is what Su Ruyi said about becoming the master. Can you believe it? Should you cook one bowl of rice or two bowls of rice tonight?"
This is a real headache.
Mrs. Zhang glared at her: "Why are you sleeping so full and eating so much?!"
Liu Cuier laughed awkwardly and changed the subject: "Mom, what are you thinking? Is Su Ruyi really going to Tongzhou to find a way to survive?"
If Mrs. Zhang had rolled her eyes before and shouted: She is the only one, do you believe it?
But this time he was silent.
A lot of things happened these days, and Su Ruyi's behavior was a bit abnormal. She always thought that Su Ruyi was holding back her ultimate move, but she didn't think so now.
What kind of ultimate move does it take to hold in for so long?
With the little money she had on hand, was it worth her holding back for so long?
Not only did he work for the family, but he also bought oil and food for the family.
For Su Ruyi, this is not a loss!
Especially since Su Ruyi saved the Lu family from disaster, Zhang, who was still insisting on her own ideas yesterday, was completely shaken today.
She was thinking over and over alone just now, and wondered whether Su Ruyi really wanted to live a good life as she said. Otherwise, why would she go to all this trouble?
Although it is unbelievable, this is the only possibility...
"Mom? What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that she remained silent, Liu Cuier couldn't help asking anxiously.
Mrs. Zhang glared at her again: "Don't you have a brain or eyes? What do you think? I think Su Ruyi said a few words to Dalang. How could Dalang tell you about his third aunt in private?"
"What can he say? He got a packet of candy from Su Ruyi last night and doesn't remember anything about it. He's such a worthless thing. He doesn't even remember what his third aunt scolded him in the past!"
Liu Cuier said, but her tone did not sound too angry.
Mrs. Zhang hummed: "Even the children are in cages..."
After thinking for a while, he took the hoe and left.
"Mom, why are you going?"
"I'll go back and see if Su Ruyi has left!"
Su Ruyi didn't leave. After everyone went to the ground, she went to the backyard and walked around in the poor vegetable patch, picking off the yellow bean tubes.
Dalang didn't go out today. Grandma told him to keep an eye on Third Aunt, saying that if Third Aunt left the village, she would call her in the fields.
He also followed Su Ruyi around the vegetable field, and Su Ruyi asked him to pick two eggplants for himself that could be used as seeds.
"Third Aunt, isn't Tongzhou very big?"
He and his grandmother thought differently. He really wanted to go to Tongzhou with his third aunt. If anyone in the family could go to Tongzhou, it would have to be the third aunt. If his grandmother or his own mother wanted to go to Tongzhou, he was still worried.
But he wouldn't worry if the third aunt went there.
He feels that now the third aunt is the most powerful person in the family.
She is not the third aunt who was the most powerful in quarreling and fighting before. Of course, she is still the most powerful in quarreling and fighting now.
But he felt that the third aunt no longer made him feel embarrassed or scared. He quite liked the third aunt now.
"You want to take a look?"
Su Ruyi said, In fact, I know in my heart that children, how can they not yearn for the outside world? They are curious about everything.
"..."
Dalang lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. If he did, he would be ignorant and cause trouble to the family.
Su Ruyi said: "I know you want to go! It's okay, Tongzhou is not far away. I will take you there in the future and take the whole family to see it."
"real?!"
Dalang suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and then he became worried again.
"But it costs a lot of money to go to Tongzhou, ten cents per person..."
Su Ruyi couldn't help but laugh. This silly boy, in his mind, ten cents was the money it would cost to go to Tongzhou.
"Tongzhou is a big place. It costs ten cents just to enter. It costs even more to go inside. Ten cents is a small amount of money."
"Ah, then..."
That place is too scary. What are you doing there with such money? We are not fools...
"Dalang, you have only been to Ping'an Town, right? Third Aunt told you that the outside world is huge. There are many things you have never seen or heard of. Those places that cost a lot of money tend to have more places. Opportunity to make money.”
"Is that why Third Aunt is going to Tongzhou?"
"So be it."
Dalang was thoughtful, bent down and pushed aside the leaves to pick an old and small eggplant.
"Third Aunt, is there anything I can do there? I... also want to make money..."
Dalang asked awkwardly.
Su Ruyi looked at him: "Maybe, how do you want to make money?"
Da Lang was confused by this question: "I... am very strong..."
"It's a good thing to be strong, but you can't make much money just by relying on your strength. The most you can do is run errands for others. It would be different if you have skills. Don't worry, Dalang. You still have plenty of time to learn skills." .”
Dalang was a little excited: "Can I also learn skills?"
Learning a skill also costs money, and grandma and mother never said anything about letting him learn a skill.
Moreover, masters do not accept all disciples, they only accept smart ones... Dalang feels that he is a bit stupid.
"Okay," Su Ruyi rummaged for beans while chatting with Dalang, "If there is anything you like to do, the third aunt will find a master for you and send you to learn."
Dalang became even more excited, and his mind was busy thinking about what he could learn.
Before he could think about it, he heard grandma's loud voice.
"Dalang, where are you shrinking?"
"Grandma, I'm behind! My third aunt is here too!"
Zhang lost her voice.
Su Ruyi looked inside the basket. So many beans were enough. Dalang hurriedly came over and threw the two eggplants in. He also raised his head to look at the third aunt's expression cautiously. He was relieved to see that she had not changed. These two eggplants were the third aunt's. Be satisfied.
The two of them went to the front yard, where Mrs. Zhang was sitting at the table under the tree, holding the egg in her arms and playing with it.
Su Ruyi greeted: "Mom, why are you back now? Is there nothing wrong?"
Mrs. Zhang turned her butt and muttered in her heart, it’s not because of you, you are getting more and more worried every day, and shouted: “Aren’t you going to Tongzhou? You’re not leaving yet!”
"Not in a hurry."
Su Ruyi thought that she still had to sell vegetables when going to Tongzhou, so she had to prepare more in the space.
If you can sell it for one tael of silver, the capital will be enough.
Mrs. Zhang teased Dan'er and put the little guy on the ground to play by herself.
"Su Ruyi, come here!"
