Su Ruyi bought ten steamed buns, five vegetarian and five meat. She ate one meat and one vegetarian on the way, and planned to give the rest to her two sisters-in-law from the beginning.
But they ate even less than they did. After eating the meat buns that they passed to them at the beginning, the two of them refused to eat. They said they would take them back to their families to eat, and they grabbed the dry and hard steamed buns and ate them.
Su Ruyi did the math and knew she would have eaten only one just now, and the rest would be enough for the family to share.
The three of them walked quickly, talking and laughing for the first time.
Before entering the village, Liu Cuier suddenly thought of something and hurriedly warned Su Ruyi seriously.
"Ruyi, when you go back, don't tell others that you went to Tongzhou for so many days. We always tell others that you went back to your parents' home... you know that, right?"
Su Ruyi nodded: "I understand."
It was evening when she got home. Mrs. Zhang had been pulling weeds with her children in the past few days. She also came back at this time, and the yard was quiet.
Liu Cuier shouted loudly: "Mom——, come out quickly and see who is back——"
Mrs. Zhang was stirring a pot in the dark kitchen. There were only a few grains of rice in the pot.
In fact, in the first two days, the family listened to Su Ruyi's words and ate two bowls of rice for one meal. Later, they found out that Su Ruyi might not come back, so they changed the rules.
Dalang squatted beside the stove and silently lit the fire.
In the past few days, the family has not spoken much, and the children have not dared to speak. The younger brothers and sisters who are playing in the yard are also keeping their voices down and being careful.
Dalang has been looking forward to the third aunt coming back soon. When the third aunt comes back, the house will be different and lively.
Suddenly hearing his mother's voice, he straightened his neck suddenly, and immediately heard the explosive shouts of his younger siblings.
"Back! Grandma and the third aunt are back too——!"
The joy and relaxation in that voice seemed to brighten the kitchen all of a sudden.
As soon as the old man got up, grandma rushed out with a spoon in her hands, yelling and cursing.
"Su Ruyi, you are such a scourge, and you still know how to come back! Why don't you die outside?!"
Su Ruyi and her two sisters-in-law had already pushed the car in, and then they saw her mother-in-law running towards her. She had a scary face and a fierce look in her eyes, shouting and throwing a spoon of rice soup at her.
"I'll beat you to death! How dare you come back after running away for so long? If you are so capable, you should find a master to marry yourself to!"
Her mother-in-law's reaction was exactly as she imagined, except that the spoon hitting her didn't hurt at all, but felt like a gentle caress.
In fact, Ms. Zhang really wanted to give Su Ruyi a good beating, but she didn't dare to drop the spoon completely. Su Ruyi was someone who couldn't be beaten. Be careful if a quickie jumps up and you can't hold her back. She finally came back, don't let her Another spoon was beaten away.
Liu Cuier and Li Baozhu quickly pulled their mother-in-law away from each other.
"Mother, mother, please stop hitting Ruyi, Ruyi has been suffering these days!"
"Yes, mother, calm down..."
Mrs. Zhang angrily pulled down the hem of her clothes: "Very good, you two are facing her now, right?!"
Liu Cuier smiled awkwardly: "Mom..."
Su Ruyi took a big step, took Zhang's arm naturally, and pulled her towards the cart.
"Mom, I know I was wrong. Look, I'm back with good things!"
Zhang's whole body felt wrong when Su Ruyi hugged her so affectionately. When did this damn woman get so close to her?
As the torn sack was opened, Ms. Zhang couldn't hold it back and screamed.
"Su Ruyi, did you kill people and set fires?!"
Su Ruyi burst out laughing once, no wonder her mother-in-law and sister-in-law are close, it’s just the same brain circuit!
Liu Cuier couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mom, what are you talking about!"
Su Ruyi took advantage of the family members sighing around the cart to pull Liu Cuier into the house to see Lu Duotian.
When Lu Duotian heard that Su Ruyi was back, he originally wanted to get out of bed and go outside, but after thinking about it, it was not appropriate. It would be fine if his legs and feet were fine. He had inconvenient legs and feet, and the other party was his younger brother and sister. It was not polite for him to be so active.
But he still sat up from his lying position.
"Tada, Ruyi is back!"
Liu Cuier's tone was filled with joy, and the title "Ruyi" became very smooth.
"Brother and sister, you are back. You have worked hard these days..."
"Brother, I'm not working hard! Are you feeling better? Does your chest still hurt? Have you asked the doctor to see you again?"
Lu Duotian was dull, but Liu Cui'er, a talkative one, answered anxiously: "It's okay, your eldest brother said he felt better, and he didn't go to see Dr. Hu. Anyway, there was nothing wrong. Duotian, my brothers and sisters have been thinking about us. This time I even bought you some sheep bones!"
When Liu Cuier said this, her eyes became wet again.
Lu Duotian was at a loss, his eyes were a little wet, and he said awkwardly: "Oh, this, I..."
Su Ruyi said: "Brother, just keep it with peace of mind. I didn't even buy a few sheep bones. Let's mend them first."
Liu Cuier said: "There are not many, but there are so many! Ruyi, sheep bones are a good thing, but they need to be repaired. Thank you, sister-in-law..."
She herself had never tasted mutton bone soup in her life. That stuff was very valuable!
After a few brief words with the eldest brother, the mother-in-law outside yelled Su Ruyi's name angrily.
"Su Ruyi——"
Su Ruyi turned around and responded: "Hey, here we come!"
He turned back to his elder brother and said, "Brother, just lie down and I will go out first."
Liu Cuier did not follow her out, but sent Su Ruyi to the door. At this time, the sun had completely set, but her peripheral vision was still there.
There was not a sound in the house at this time yesterday...
She returned to her man and waited for him to lie down.
He smiled and said: "This family must have Su Ruyi here, it will become lively as soon as she comes back."
After Lu Duotian heard this, he stared at his wife in disbelief. Did these words come out of her mouth?
He understands that his woman has a good heart, but he can't say a few good words from his mouth, especially to Su Ruyi.
Lu Duotian actually made a joke out of nowhere: "How come someone bought you a few sheep bones and coaxed you into hiding?"
The woman who was rarely gentle immediately stared and scolded: "You know nothing! Do you have any conscience? I bought you the wrong sheep bones?!"
Lu Duotian felt: "Okay, I made a mistake. I wasn't teasing you!"
He let out a long sigh. The pressure at home has been very high these days, and now the feeling has dissipated.
Zhang naturally asked Su Ruyi where she got the money to buy such three big things.
Although the Lu family is poor, they are honest and do their duty and will not do anything unscrupulous!
Regarding this, Su Ruyi had already thought of an explanation on the way.
He adapted the story of his encounter with this noble lady, Miss Yang, and said that it was thanks to the Yang family that he found a good job, and there was also a reward from the Yang family. Anyway, he made money, so he got this job. I bought three of them.
I also talked about the walnuts, and the Yang family also took more care of her for the sake of walnuts.
After hearing this, Ms. Zhang felt completely stupid.
What, my humble daughter-in-law actually talked to the daughter of the prefect of Tongzhou? !
