Chapter 278 The woman in red
Everyone looked at each other and no one answered.
When Sun Mingzhe opened the door, he saw his mother-in-law busying around in the yard, while his wife was sitting aside sewing clothes.
Su Xia was the first to see him and stood up in surprise, "You're back."
Sun Mingzhe's eyes were gentle as he walked into the house and unloaded his book box. "It's almost the New Year, and the teacher has no time to take care of us, so I came back."
He pulled the handle of the bookcase and took something out. "I made some money copying books and bought some meat for my family. We'll have it for the New Year."
Su Xia nodded and took it.
The gossipy woman came over and poked her head to look inside the bookcase.
Su Xia quickly held down her restless head, "Mom!"
The gossipy woman said awkwardly: "Okay, okay, I won't watch it anymore."
"Girls are really extroverts. They will always turn their elbows towards him!" The gossipy woman took the meat from Sun Mingzhe and muttered as she walked out.
After Su Xia heard this, her face turned red, she stamped her feet and said shyly, "Mom!!!"
"I'll shut up, I'll shut up, I'll shut up now." The gossipy woman raised her hands in surrender and walked away.
After seeing her mother leave, Su Xia turned around and looked at Sun Mingzhe apologetically.
Sun Mingzhe didn't feel anything. His mother-in-law has always had this temper. If you say she is bad, it's not the case.
But I am just too curious and want to know everything.
In order to find out the truth about a quarrel between a couple in the village, I even went to eavesdrop on what was going on.
It turned out to be an adultery case, and both the man's and the woman's families almost joined forces to beat her up.
Fortunately, she ran fast enough and was aggressive enough.
Only then can you be free from physical pain.
Sun Mingzhe took out another wooden hairpin from the bookcase and handed it to Su Xia a little embarrassedly, "Ahem... I saw it on the street and thought it suits you. If you like it, wear it. If you don't like it..."
Before he could finish, Su Xia took it and interrupted him, "I like it, I like it."
Su Xia looked at the warm wooden hairpin, which was brown all over and looked like just ordinary wood.
The only advantage may be that it is polished very smoothly.
But at this moment, in her opinion, it was worth more than gold.
After being overjoyed, Su Xia blamed him again, "The county exam is coming soon, why are you still copying books? What a waste of time."
"I've made some money at the factory recently, so you don't have to work so hard."
Sun Mingzhe: "What's so hard about copying books? You and mom are busy at home, and you have to save money for my studies. That's the hard work."
"Besides, this time I'm taking over books from Zhao's Bookstore. They've always been generous in paying me, so I'm willing to continue copying."
"But this is the last time before the county exam. I have to work hard to prepare for the county exam in February."
This was a big deal. Su Xia immediately calmed down her restless mind and agreed, "Yes, the exam is coming up soon. Don't worry about anything. Mom and I will take care of everything!"
Sun Mingzhe nodded, "Thanks to you and mom, otherwise I..."
His eyes were a little vacant, staring blankly into the distance, as if he was thinking of some bad memories.
Su Xia immediately laughed and changed the subject, "By the way, mom cooked meat today, let's go eat it, don't think too much."
Sun Mingzhe came back to his senses and looked at Su Xia: "Yeah."
The next day, Su's father and mother Su Erlang took a cart of goods to the county, thinking that they would need to purchase New Year's goods in the county later, so they brought Song Ge'er with them.
Family travel.
It is worth mentioning that the bullock cart was their own.
Originally they were planning to save money to buy a house in the county, so they had not bought the cow yet.
Now that Su Erlang has decided not to buy it, he has all the money left.
Following Su Yan's suggestion, I bought a ox cart.
On the one hand, he can use it to transport goods back and forth, and on the other hand, Su Erlang can use the ox cart to transport people back and forth between several nearby villages.
It's also an income.
Su Yan was quite happy to see everyone from her mother's family again.
A few people first physically loaded the goods into the warehouse, and Su Yan quickly took everyone to a secluded place to talk.
Su's mother told her about the work going on during the past few days. Generally speaking, everyone was working very hard.
Hand speed is also OK.
But Su Yan noticed that Su's mother said that Su Xia was very skillful and could do the job of two people alone.
Su Yan was astonished, and recalled the day he met the gentle young lady. Could it be that she was so good at work?
After talking for a while, Su's mother said goodbye, "Let's go to the street to buy some New Year's goods. There are too many people on the street, and it's hard for the ox cart to move. I'll leave it here with you first."
Su Yan: "Which street are we going to? There's a supermarket on the first floor that has everything. Let's go over there and take a look."
Su's mother didn't want to go there to buy things, for fear that her daughter would feel embarrassed to accept the money and her son-in-law would be unhappy.
There was no need, so she refused, "We still have to go buy New Year pictures, and we don't have any here."
"Yes!" Su Yan answered as a matter of course, "Chinese New Year is coming soon, how can I not sell New Year pictures?"
Su's mother opened her mouth wide, "You actually sell this too."
"Yes."
Mother Su: "Haha, haha, well, not only New Year pictures, we also want to order other things."
"We have everything in our supermarket. If you don't have anything, go outside."
Seeing the hesitation of Su's father and mother, Su Yan directly used the emperor to command the princes, picked up Song Ge'er and turned around and left.
"Song Ge'er, come on, auntie will take you to eat candy!"
Su's father and mother had no choice but to follow him.
A few people hesitantly picked up some cheap things, then decided to leave.
Su Yan looked at the candies in the two men's hands and handed Song Ge'er, who was eating the candy, to them without saying anything.
He prepared some New Year's goods and put them directly on the ox cart. "How can you be so polite to me?"
"Okay, now you can take your parents and Song Ge'er to go around the county. Leave the ox cart here with me and I'll watch it." Su Yan patted Su Erlang's shoulder and said.
After watching Su's father and mother go away, Su Yan was about to turn around and leave.
I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of my eye.
She looked again and saw a woman in red talking to a man in the alley.
As if they noticed someone was looking at them, they turned their heads back, and Su Yan noticed that the woman was indeed the one he had seen in the woods in Qianshan Village.
Su Yan:......
She looked at the man beside her again, and it was not Yang Lin.
Su Yan gave a meaningful smile, turned and left.
The man looked around and didn't see anyone looking at them, so he turned around and said, "No one is looking at us, maybe you are mistaken."
The woman in red also looked around, but didn't find anyone.
"But..."
The man interrupted him, "Don't say but, you are so suspicious, are you scared?"
The woman immediately stopped worrying about someone watching them and sneered, "Scared? Would I be afraid of a useless man?"
