Chapter 118 What should I do at home?
Su Rongrong said she would only cook for five days. After making the last lunch, she said goodbye to Wei and others.
By the time she returned to Sujia Village with her bags full of things, it was already late afternoon.
As soon as the carriage entered Sujia Village, Su Qiaoqiao's voice was heard from afar.
"Miss!"
Su Rongrong poked her head out of the carriage, and when she saw her, she asked Dahu to put her down.
Afterwards, he walked back with Tao Ya and Su Qiaoqiao.
"Is everything okay at home?"
"It's okay, but my two cousins are a little timid and don't dare to eat."
Su Rongrong frowned slightly when she heard this, and Su Qiaoqiao continued:
"Sister, I don't know what's going on, no matter what we say, they only eat a little bit each time.
For example, half a bowl of sweet potato rice or half a whole grain steamed bun, without even touching the vegetables, it's really worrying me to death."
"You didn't tell your aunt?"
"Yes! My aunt said that the two brothers were used to it, and now that they have moved to a new place, they feel uneasy and uneasy.
I was afraid that if I ate too much, I would be disliked, so…"
Su Rongrong was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about my aunt? Did she try to persuade him?"
"My aunt is in confinement after giving birth and her health is so poor that she can't even get out of bed.
The third sister went to ask Aunt You specifically, and she said that my aunt’s situation was different from others and needed to be well raised.
So the third sister tried her best not to let the aunt go down to the ground. Even if she needed to relieve herself, the third sister and sister Miaomiao would help her sit on the wooden barrel.
Aunt You and Sister Jingzhe both said that it was not easy for men to enter my aunt's room, even Zhiming and Zhiyuan.
My aunt spoke softly through the door and I couldn't hear her clearly at the door.
As for the two brothers, they would rather not talk than speak.
Every time I stand at the door, I call out "Mom".
Then my aunt responded from inside, and then she disappeared!"
Su Rongrong: “…”
How come she remembered that in modern times, it was said that women who had just given birth had to get up and walk around, and no matter how poorly they were feeling, they could not lie still all the time?
My aunt is weak. Wouldn’t it be bad if she just lies there motionless?
Should we still take a proper walk?
Also, Zhiming and Zhiyuan are my aunt’s sons, so there should be nothing to be shy about, right?
After all, my aunt doesn't have to feed the child.
Those two children were less than seven years old, and they were not old enough to avoid their mother.
Besides, there is nothing shameful about my aunt's behavior!
Su Rongrong was thinking about this, so she asked again, "Those two brothers didn't eat, so you didn't pick any?"
Speaking of this, Su Qiaoqiao felt even more helpless.
"Yes, my elder brother picked it up for me with the serving chopsticks.
As a result, at noon on the first day, which was the day you left, the two were so scared that they didn't even dare to eat, and after that they didn't even dare to sit at the table.
Every time I ate, I would squat in the kitchen with a small bowl in my hand.
By the way, every time Sister Miaomiao and Third Sister cook, these two have to help light the fire and fetch water.
After finding out that no one at home wanted them to do these things, they started taking cloths and brooms and began sweeping the floor and mopping the house.
Later, when they found that they didn’t have to do any of this at home, they went up the mountain to collect firewood while the sun was still out. ”
Su Qiaoqiao was speechless when she said this.
She didn't know that there were people who loved to work so much.
God knows how shocked she was when she saw two cousins, who were weaker than her, carrying a bundle of firewood each yesterday.
Obviously, their family had no shortage of firewood, but the two little guys, in order not to eat for free, insisted on doing something for the family.
If she didn't have to pay back the ten taels of foreign debt, could eat and drink enough every day, and didn't have to do anything, she would be very happy.
Perhaps, they are the kind of people who cannot sit still and cannot feel at ease unless they do something?
Su Rongrong was silent for a while, and when they were almost home, she said, "I'll talk to my aunt later, and then talk to my two cousins.
Also, when I came back, Wei Bo Niang gave me some cloth.
Go take a look and think about what you want to wear, and I’ll draw a pattern for you later.”
When Su Qiaoqiao heard that her elder sister could solve these problems and had cloth to make new clothes, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She found that her eldest sister seemed to be in charge, and things seemed to be better than when their mother was around.
At that time, my mother made two sets of clothes for two seasons a year.
But the eldest sister is the head of the family. She already had two pregnancies, and now she wants to do it again.
She dared to say that even those girls from relatively wealthy families in the county town might not be as happy as her.
Thinking of this, Su Qiaoqiao responded sweetly: "Okay, big sister, I'll go there!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran away happily.
Su Rongrong looked at Tao Ya, "Do you want to go back now, or cook at my house and eat before coming back?"
"Let's go back now. I'll just tell my parents and my elder brother and his wife that I'm going to the county town with you to set up a stall.
It’s already the first day of the twelfth lunar month. How much money we can earn depends on these few days.”
"That's fine! Then go back first, and call me when you've decided on a day to go."
Anyway, she already had the steamer and small iron pot for steaming buns. She bought them from someone in the county town and put them in the back room of the yamen.
By the way, before coming back, I rented a house in the county town.
After Tao Ya left, Su Rongrong went home.
But before she entered the door, she saw Liu Miao coming towards her.
"Miao Miao!"
When Liu Miao saw her, she subconsciously looked her up and down, then said, "Rongrong, I heard from Master Baili that you rented a house?"
Su Rongrong walked back with her and said, "Well, you know the situation.
If I can find someone before the New Year, I will live in the county town then. If I can’t find him, that doesn’t matter either.
By the way, it’s already the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and I plan to go to the county town with Tao Ya to set up a stall.
If I can handle it, I will come back. If I can't handle it, I will stay there at night.
Another thing is that Jinhong is going to the county school after the New Year. I heard from Brother Zheng that he doesn’t have to live in the county school, he can also live at home.
If Jinhong wants to live in that house, he can live there. If he doesn’t want to, he can live in the county school.
I don't think that house should be empty.
After the new year, there should be no problem for my aunt. The two brothers Zhiming and Zhiyuan are also at the age where they should be enlightened.
If it's good for the two children, my aunt would probably want to live in the county town.
By then, we can find them teachers!"
If Qi Jianing was penniless, or if Su Rongrong's family was in extreme difficulty, then Liu Miao would definitely feel uncomfortable if she said now that she wanted to send Zhiming and Zhiyuan to study.
But since she knew that Rongrong's family could live a good life because of Qi Jianing, and that Su Jinhong could go to school thanks to this aunt, she no longer had any objections.
Hearing this, she nodded and said, "It's time to send these two children to private school.
Perhaps if they leave here, they will feel more at ease and no longer be so nervous, not daring to eat more or even say more.
By the way, Rongrong, you said you were going to set up a stall with Taoya, have you decided what to do?
And what about my family? "
