Su's father and Su's mother were under great pressure to raise six children, so they both worked outside. Su's father was a miner in the coal mine, and Su's mother worked as a cook in the coal mine. The couple worked in the same place to support the family. .
Because the children wanted to study, the couple worked for a wealthy family in the county in their early years. Later, after their daughter was born, they returned to the countryside. During this period, Su's father had been doing hard work outside. Originally a handsome young man, life forced him to become a Although he is a rough man, Su's father's dark skin does not reveal the handsomeness of his youth at all.
Over the years, the children had to spend money to study and get sick from time to time, so that they owed a lot of foreign debt.
Su's mother was the same. She was a great beauty when she was young. Many landowners wanted to marry her as their concubine. But she chose love. Now she has been weathered and her hands are calloused. She has been working in the kitchen for a long time and has been in fireworks. Now she is only She is forty years old, but she looks like an old woman in her fifties, with wrinkles all over her face!
Now we are just waiting for Su Jing to make a difference. If he passes the exam, even if he is a Jinshi in the top 30, the family's life will be much better.
Su Yun usually cooks at home. He is very talented in cooking, has many ideas, and dares to try boldly, so he has great attainments in cooking.
"Father, mother, don't worry. As the eldest brother, I will definitely treat Wan Wan well. Third brother, your second brother and I are in the county on weekdays. You are the oldest in the family, so you must treat Wan Wan well!"
Su Chen, who was suddenly given a heavy responsibility, felt that he had become very important at this moment, and then nodded solemnly:
"Brother, I understand!"
Su Jing went out to study and only came back once or twice a month. Su Mu worked in a medical clinic in the county and came back every seven days. He earned two hundred yuan a month, which is two taels of silver, because he was an apprentice. The monthly income is not high, I have only been here for a year, and the money every month is used to support my family.
There are only three, four, and five children in the family. The three of them have to look after the house and take care of the family farmland. They study from the age of six to fourteen, and they have no problem with literacy and arithmetic. They are not interested in taking the scientific examination, and they continue to study. The pressure on my parents is too great.
Su Yun was silent for a long time. He suddenly didn't dare to look at Su Wan and his face turned red:
"Although you are pitiful, I still treat Yue Yue as my younger sister, and that won't change, huh!" Su Yun said a few words and walked into the kitchen arrogantly, but his tone was much softer than before.
Su Yi kept smiling, and Su Wan was wondering, would he develop laugh lines if he smiles like this for a day?
"Sister Wanwan, why are you looking at me like that?" He narrowed his eyes while smiling.
"Of course it's because Fifth Brother is so good-looking!"
Su Yi is only fifteen years old, and he still has a childish look on his face, but he looks really handsome. After reading the original work, Su Wan realized that he is the gentlest and most attentive among the five brothers. Many things cannot escape his eyes. He has a clear eye and can always put forward the point to the point. The question is impossible to refute, but it also has a sense of proportion. All I can say is that if you narrow your eyes, you are a monster.
"Sister Wan Wan is really good at talking!"
Su Wan was the only one who had white flour buns for breakfast. There were only four buns in the basket, so Su Wan divided them into eight portions, just one for each person.
Before they refused, Su Wan said in advance:
"A family should learn to share, and everyone should eat delicious food together!"
She was used to living a life of wealth and wealth, but she was actually willing to eat sweet potato and wild vegetable pancakes with them with relish. Maybe it was because she felt fresh after eating too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and maybe she got tired of them after eating them for a while.
After dinner, Su’s father and Su’s mother will continue to work in the mine. The family does not have enough food for a year, so they basically have to spend money to buy rice, noodles and oil. Every year the children grow, they have to pull cloth and make new ones. Shoes, several sons still have to save money to marry a wife, it is not easy to say that they are not in a tight situation!
"Wan Wan, your dad and I will go out and won't come back to see you until the end of the month. You should listen to your brothers at home and wait until mom comes back to buy you delicious food!"
They said this to Gu Yue every time before going out, and now they do the same to Su Wan. This habit cannot be changed.
Su Wan nodded obediently.
Father Su and mother Su are gone, and the five brothers have to work in the fields. After harvesting two acres of rice, they still have to thresh the grains. The harvested millets have to be dried in the sun for a few days and then shelled uniformly.
Each of them took a sickle. Su Wan definitely couldn't be a slacker. He had to work and be down-to-earth when he came back. This would impress his brothers more deeply.
"Do you still have a sickle? I'm going to harvest rice with my brothers too!"
Facing Su Wan's question, the five brothers looked at her at the same time, not believing that she could work in the fields.
"Wan Wan, the five of us are enough to harvest rice. The weather is too hot, just rest at home!" Even Su Jing didn't quite believe that she could harvest rice. She is not as tall as rice!
Su Wan didn't know what he was thinking. If he knew, he would probably be dissatisfied.
How could it be that exaggerated? It is still much higher than rice, but there is no reason for my sister to work in the fields in the Su family.
"Don't go and make trouble for us. You can't bear to wait any longer and you have to yell to come back. If you faint from heat stroke again, the family won't have the spare money to hire a doctor for you!" Su Yun curled his lips, still a little disgusted with Su Wan, It feels like she's only going to be a disservice.
"Fourth brother looks down on others?"
Su Wan pouted unconvinced, she looked so cute!
"I'm not looking down on you. You are the only girl in the family. How can we, the five brothers, be just decorations? It's your turn to go to the ground? Even Yue Yue has never been to the ground before!" Su Yun actually meant this. truth.
"Sister Wan Wan, your skin is delicate, so don't get sunburned. When your parents come back, I'm afraid they will blame our brothers for not taking good care of you!"
It was Su Yi who spoke, which made Su Wan not know how to refute.
In the end, Su Wan was left at home. The September sun was very scorching. When working under such a sun, the ears of wheat stuck to the body and the whole body became itchy and red, which was very uncomfortable.
Since her brothers insist not to let her work in the fields, she should cook at home and clean the house. Anyway, she has to let them know that she is not a delicate young lady.
After walking around the house, I found a large bush of wild licorice growing behind the Su family's yard, also called rock sugar grass, because its roots are very sweet. When used to boil water for drinking, Su Wan immediately looked for it. I got a hoe and dug out a bundle, kept the roots, cleaned them, and then boiled the water.
The weather is hot and people work under the sun. Drinking some sweet water to replenish sugar can prevent heatstroke. There is a well in the village where everyone draws water. The book says that Gu Yue misses the sweet and cold water from the well every time she returns to the countryside.
After cooking, he took it to the well to calm down, and then gave it to his brothers to quench their thirst.
Just boil the licorice water over high heat for ten minutes. The color of the water is like light tea. Although the taste of grass roots is very strong, it is more sweet than ever.
I found a small, clean water jar and installed it, then closed the door of the fenced yard and looked for a well.
She was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know which way to go when she went out. However, she heard the sound of spring water on the way back with Su Jing last night, so Su Wan held the jar and went to the right.
