The house to be built by the Su family was designed by Su Yu to be small, similar to a courtyard house in Beijing. Su Yu felt that there were not many people in her family now. When the time came, her parents would live in the main house, and she and her eldest brother would live in the wing rooms on the left and right sides. The backyard would need to be bigger. It's best to build a few houses. At the rate her family is going, it won't be long before someone buys it. The house still needs to be prepared first. She can't have her family do everything. She has a lot of housework, which will be very tiring. , isn’t making money just for enjoyment?
Now that the New Year is getting closer and closer, the weather is getting colder and colder. Although it doesn't snow much in the winter in Xingyang Mansion, the wind blows on the face like a knife, causing pain. Su Yu is already afraid of the cold, so now she tries not to go out as much as possible. In order to kill the boring time, I went to the town study to buy a few miscellaneous books. When I wanted to go out, I would go out to train Erhu. If I didn't want to go out, I would hide in my room and read.
When building a house, Su Yu persuaded Mrs. Lian on the grounds that her family was already busy, and directly outsourced the cooking work to Yang Ermei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Each of them received 20 cents a day, and Su Laoer went to town to buy the vegetables. The family was already small, so the cooking was done directly at Yang Ermei's house. Su Yu added an additional ten cash. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could earn fifty cash a day at Su's house, which was already a high salary in the village. The first one aroused the envy of many women in the village, wondering why the Su family didn't build a house next to their own house, so that they could also benefit from it.
Su Yu was in a good mood today. He remembered the ducks he had promised Yu Zheng and asked his father to kill four of them. The simple oven he had used to try out the roast ducks was still there, so he went to roast the ducks when he was ready. Soon the scent of duck wafted out, and the people who were working lost their minds to work due to the smell.
After the ducks were roasted, Su Yu took two and put them in a basket with oil paper, and asked Lian to take the remaining two to Yang Ermei's house to add vegetables to the villagers who were working.
"Yu'er, where are you going?"
Seeing Su Yu going out with two ducks, Mrs. Lian couldn't help but asked curiously. My daughter didn't play well with anyone in the village, so why did she go out with two roasted ducks?
"Mom, I met someone a few days ago, the master-servant pair that our family met on the road. They are from Yujia Village. In order to thank them, I plan to roast two ducks and send them over to thank them."
"You kid, why didn't I hear you talk about such a big thing? He was a great benefactor to our family. If we hadn't met these two people on the road that time, we don't know what our family would be in now. With two ducks That’s enough, just wait, Mom will catch a chicken for you and bring it to you.”
If it weren't for the fear that her daughter wouldn't be able to carry it, Mrs. Lian would have wanted to take two more.
"Ask your father to accompany you."
Mrs. Lian felt that although her daughter was capable, having a girl come to her house would make her family appear to be insincere.
"Mom, he's not much older than me. There's no one else in his house, just two masters and servants. I can go alone."
"That's it. Then just go back as soon as you send the things over. Don't wait too long."
Although I know he is my family's benefactor, I don't know anything about that person's character, so it is better to have less contact with him. However, with the intelligence of my daughter, if that person is not right, she will not roast the duck and send it to him now.
"I know, mother."
Mrs. Lian was a little strange and planned to ask Yang Ermei. Why hadn't she heard of a house where only one person lived with a servant?
Su Yu had previously known about such a person from the children in the village. She also knew where his home was, so she went directly to his door. When they arrived outside the courtyard and saw that the door was closed, Su Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door twice to open it from the inside.
Qinglin was stunned when he saw a little girl standing at the door. Except for the village chief, no one had come to the door for a long time.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Brother, I'm here to see your young master. I promised to give you two roast ducks. I specially roasted them for you today."
Why didn't he know when the young master asked someone to bring him roast duck?
"You wait, I'll ask the young master first."
After a while, Qinglin turned back.
"My young master is inside, please, girl."
"Thank you, brother. I thanked you for your help on the road last time. I haven't said thank you to you yet."
Qinglin now remembered who the little girl in front of him was.
"It's just a matter of fact, girl, you don't need to keep it in mind."
Su Yu is eleven years old, so he can only show the expression that a teenager should have in front of his own family. When facing outsiders, Su Yu doesn't behave like an eleven-year-old child at all. , giving people a young and mature feeling. Qinglin felt something was wrong, but couldn't remember it for the moment.
Entering the yard, Su Yu discovered that the yard looked similar to most other houses in the village on the outside, but it was completely different on the inside. It's not that it was very good, but it was much better than other houses in the village. Of course, it was different from those in the town. It's nothing compared to a big family.
Yu Zheng was still sitting under the grape trellis, but it was winter, and there were no leaves on the grape trellis. Su Yu looked at this scene and suddenly felt lonely in his heart.
Yu Zheng also looked at Su Yu at this moment.
"This is the duck I promised to make for you. My mother caught the chicken specially for you. You can keep it for stew."
Seeing that his young master had no objection, Qinglin took the chicken and took it away. Su Yu took out the two roast ducks from the basket, and also brought a small plate of sweet noodle sauce and a small plate of shredded cucumbers and green onions. As for the noodles, I'm sorry, she didn't make them because she wasn't good at it.
Yu Zheng sat on the chair and just watched Su Yu working. The little girl's face turned red and ugly, and she felt a little disgusted.
Su Yu's skin was white with a sickly yellow color, and his cheeks were flushed red at the moment. It was indeed unsightly. The most attractive thing was his eyes.
"Ugly girl, it's been several days, why did you just come today?"
Su Yu didn't hear the last words. He was focused on the words "ugly girl" in front of him. His eyes widened and he pointed at himself.
"Did you just talk about me??"
Yu Zheng looked to the left and right.
"There are others here."
Su Yu was so angry that she almost had a heart attack. Thinking that she had indeed been favored by the person in front of her, she endured it and held back her anger.
Yu Zheng looked at it with curiosity. It was the first time for him to see such colorful expressions on a person's face.
"The roast duck won't taste good if it's cold."
Su Yu was in a bad mood and spoke stiffly.
"How can I eat it? I'm just chewing it like this. Isn't the chef of Taihelou slicing the dough in front of me?"
Su Yu, I tolerate it.
"I didn't bring a knife when I came here."
"It doesn't matter."
Yu Zheng took out a dagger from his boots and handed it over. Su Yu took it. It was a bit heavy in his hand. Looking at the cold light on it, he knew that the dagger was quite sharp.
It would be better not to have anything to do with the person in front of her in the future. To her, the person in front of her is a big trouble.
Su Yu sliced the duck meat and thought about leaving quickly after finishing the slice. Yu Zheng was eating duck meat, thinking that this girl's cooking skills were really good. The ducks roasted by Taihelou were not as delicious as the ducks roasted by this girl. I unknowingly ate a large plate of duck meat, and by the time I realized it, my stomach was already full.
Qing Lin standing by was very pleased. He couldn't even remember how long it had been since his master had a good meal. It seems that the master has not had a good meal since his wife passed away. Thinking of this, Qinglin's eyes darkened.
"I delivered the duck and the film is ready. Can I go now?"
"Well, don't come to my place if you have nothing to do in the future."
Su Yu had this plan in the first place, and it was just what she wanted to say. As for the reason behind it, she didn't want to delve into it, as it had nothing to do with her.
