No matter what time it is, lazy people and wanderers exist, and they also have them in Li Village. They don’t go when they should earn work points, but just hang out with a few people and rely on their parents and brothers to support them.
But because lazy people don't affect everyone, thieves and thieves are very timid, and even chickens and ducks dare not do it. Usually, they only use a few handfuls of vegetables and one or two eggs. With the bottom line, Zhao Chengye didn't take ruthless measures to deal with it.
No one in their village would have such a heart. After all, if they were caught and attacked the widow of a soldier, they would probably be accused by thousands of people. However, if the people in their village are not moved, it does not mean that the people in other villages are not moved.
A radio, good and working, what does it matter if it's older? Not to mention selling one hundred yuan, fifty or eighty yuan should be no problem, that is already a huge sum of money.
Money touches people's hearts.
Especially after asking about the situation, there is only one woman, four children, and a half-grown dog in the family, and the place where they live is relatively remote, which is convenient for them.
After Su Hui made a guess, she paid extra attention, but maybe because the radio was too fresh, people would come over from time to time, and there was no opportunity during the day, so she hadn't taken any action yet.
Perhaps at night
After Su Qianming and Su Zhong got the message, they also came to their daughter's house to watch the radio.
Su Hui took out the radio, and Zhang Baoguo and Zhang Weiguo, who understood the functions of the radio clearly, competed to demonstrate and introduce it to grandpa and uncle.
"This thing is amazing. I've seen it in the city." Su Qianming touched it curiously.
They didn't even have a radio in Liucun, and he only met him a few times in the city.
Compared to Su Qianming, Su Zhong has less knowledge and dare not touch it, just watching from the side.
"How can it talk?"
"A battery is installed inside." Zhang Baoguo pointed to the part where the battery was installed.
"Is it the news now?"
Zhang Anguo's small face was a little excited: "The song was played just now, it sounds good!"
Zhang Dingguo also nodded frequently: "Although I don't know what I'm singing, it sounds good!"
"You have to learn Mandarin, or you won't be able to understand it in the future."
This is indeed a problem. There is a difference between the local dialect and the Mandarin language here. The first problem faced by educated youths from other places is poor communication. Except for a few who can speak Mandarin, they cannot communicate at all, but people’s adaptability is very strong. , after living here for a period of time, there are basically no obstacles to ordinary communication.
Just like Xie Rui, when he first arrived, he couldn't understand at all, but now, he can basically communicate with the locals without barriers.
After entering elementary school, the three of them basically use Mandarin to teach, and they can basically understand it, but those who have not gone to school are just like other locals. They are illiterate and have no contact with them.
Su Qianming touched his little grandson's head: "Let your mother teach you in the future, don't go to school to learn."
Zhang Dingguo blinked: "Mom can teach you." My brother still reads poetry and newspapers every day, and reads comic books together. After listening to a lot, he probably understands the meaning, but the pitch of the songs is different from the pitch of normal speech.
"Just listen to it." Su Zhong expressed his understanding.
"Cousin will come sometime, we can learn to sing together." Zhang Weiguo was a little excited.
"Hahaha, I'll tell him when I get back, he might come over right away."
"Come on, there is a place for him to live at home." Su Hui said that there is no problem.
Zhang Fenghua poked his head outside: "Second Aunt, are you at home?"
As soon as she finished her work, she came over with all her heart, and behind her butt was the awkward Zhang Jinhua.
He didn't want to come over, but the radio was too attractive.
"Woof!" Dawei yelled twice, fell silent, and went back to his bed to lie down lazily.
Su Qianming couldn't help but poked his head to look: "This dog is very clever, it seems that he hugged it right at the beginning."
"Dawei is very smart, he is the smartest dog in our village."
"That's right, David will still protect us."
"Wherever Dawei goes, he will come back on time, and he will not make trouble."
When it comes to David, they all have a lot to say.
Su Hui went to open the courtyard door and let them in. Seeing Zhang Jinhua behind, she beckoned, "Hurry up, Second Aunt will bolt the door."
"Here we come!" He trotted in: "Why did Second Aunt lock the door?"
There are very few households with bolted doors and yards, but there are more people who just stop chickens from going out, and many people do not lock their doors.
"If you don't lock the door, someone will come to tease the dog, be careful to bite it." Su Hui explained casually.
Zhang Jinhua glanced at Dawei who was spread out in a corner, it had grown up a bit, it must be very painful to be bitten!
The purpose of the two of them coming was of course the radio, so they started discussing together.
Zhang Baoguo changed the channel. Now there are not many channels at all, but after all, there are still some channels. Occasionally, he can receive some stories about local development and stories in various places. Whenever he receives this channel, he will not miss it.
Su Qianming and Su Zhong came over after lunch. They missed the meal on purpose so as not to burden Su Hui, and brought a bag of wild fruits and a small bag of fried peanuts for the child.
Zhang Jinhua and Zhang Fenghua also came here after lunch. Zhang Fenghua had finished all the work that should be done. Zhang Jinhua would follow his mother to earn some work points in the afternoon. He came here specially during the lunch break.
Su Hui brought out a plate of red bayberry from the kitchen and put it on the table.
Zhang Baoguo looked at the red bayberry and smiled, he picked it, and he picked such a big one because of his quick hands.
Zhang Fenghua picked one up and put it in his mouth, speaking a little vaguely: "I went to pick it up too, but it was too late, and there are no more."
The bayberry tree is on the mountain, and anyone can pick it. When it comes to bearing fruit, it depends on whoever is faster will be the first.
Su Qianming also picked up one, and after eating it, the sour taste made his face twitch into a ball: "This is too sour."
Seeing Grandpa like this, Zhang Weiguo laughed, "Grandpa, you are just like me, and Mom still thinks it is delicious..."
Su Qianming and the others came here for two things. One was to see her daughter, whether someone was messing with her outside, whether the radio was real or not, and the other thing was to see the tiles in Li Village.
If Li Village can really burn tiles by itself, the price will be much cheaper, but the transportation distance will be much shorter, and one trip can be made in half an hour.
Su Qianming didn't have this need, and his family was also a brick and tile house, but his in-laws, that is, the natal family of his daughter-in-law Chang Xiaohe, they wanted to inquire about it, and they made plans early after asking.
Su Hui gave them a definite answer. But she also said that there are too many people in their village who are attracted to them now, and some of them may be queued. Su Zhong doesn't care about it, and it will take a while for the wife's family to raise money.
…
It was agreed that Su Banxia and Su Shiwei would come to play, Su Qianming and Su Zhong brought a message after seeing that it was almost time to go back, and after a while, the two brothers came over, the one with their own rations, each carrying a holding a bag of dried sweet potatoes, and holding a pumpkin in one hand.
Zhang Baoguo specially took them to the mountains to pick wild fruits and plums.
There are many plums in their village, and Li Village got its name because of these plum trees.
After all, the family couldn't survive, and even the children couldn't stop to work. Zhang Baoguo took his three younger brothers and two cousins outside until the evening.
The six of them came back with a full harvest, including plums, wild fruits, and unknown wild flowers.
When I came back, the table was full.
Su Hui didn't go out this afternoon. There are four rooms in the house. She sleeps in one room, the two of them sleep in another room, and the other room is empty and piled up with sundries. She cleared those sundries and made the bed Lay it on.
Then it's cooking. Cooking can't be as lavish as usual, but she won't treat her two nephews badly.
There is a fish tank in the kitchen, where one or two fish are raised all year round, big and small, one or two catties for the big ones, you can eat one or two meals and the small ones are less than one catty, it is most suitable for cooking porridge. A wooden basin, in which there are river mussels that Zhang Baoguo and his brothers went to touch when they had nothing to do.
Open the cupboard, and there are seafood sent by Guan Shaoli. In addition, there are some mountain goods on the mountain.
These are all available on Minglu.
The two nephews came here rarely, cooking with these shows that she pays attention to it without going out of line, and everyone eats happily.
After Su Hui packed up the ingredients and was ready to put them into the pot at any time, seeing that there was still time, she buried a few wooden stakes and piled up a few stones by the side of the yard. These stones and wooden stakes were inconspicuous at all, but only she knew them what's the effect.
These are ordinary stones and wooden stakes when she is not using them. After she activates the formation, they will become her eyes, ears and weapons.
This afternoon, because everyone was working and no one came to disturb, Su Hui expressed her satisfaction and cheered for Zhang Chengye. This is the momentum, keep it up, one by one, work diligently to earn work points and change tiles, what are you looking at? Fresh, what gossip.
Is it important that freshness and gossip have a solid roof
…
Su Shiwei and Su Banxia happily followed the four cousins to explore Li Village, got a lot of food, and when they came back, they had a hearty meal.
There are steamed fish, stir-fried mussels, stewed dried tofu with mushrooms, hot wild vegetables, and the last one is egg drop soup with wolfberry leaves.
Su Hui: "This fish was caught in the stream before. The mussels were fished by Baoguo and the others in the river. The taste is not bad. Try it."
Among the four dishes, only stir-fried mussels are added with chili, but it is also this dish, which tastes the most fragrant. It has a different flavor from the stewed tofu with mushrooms. It is very overbearing, very rich, and the entrance is also A little choking, but it is easy to let people want to stop.
Like Zhang Baoguo and the others, the Su brothers fell into a vicious cycle of eating, drinking, and continuing to eat.
After enjoying the big meal and filling their bellies, they were rushed to take a bath one by one by Su Hui.
After playing wildly outside for so long, now that the weather is sour, I can't smell it for a long time.
Babies usually take a bath in the yard. They don’t have any sense of shame. They only take a bath in the room when they get older. Now they are all under that age. After the water was mixed into lukewarm water, she bathed next to the well in the back. In this weather, Su Hui didn't heat up much hot water. She put the bucket outside, and the water had already become hot after being exposed to the sun, but she would There was still warmth, even if they boiled a pot of hot water and washed their bodies clean, they began to gather around the radio, changing channels one after another, chattering, Su Hui didn't care about them, Give them the radio and let them have a good time.
The moon is very bright tonight, basically no lights are needed to walk outside, and the road ahead can be seen clearly by the moonlight.
There were two people who quietly touched the outside of Su Hui's yard around three o'clock in the middle of the night.
As soon as they stepped into the courtyard about three meters away, the paper on the desk in Su Hui's room rattled and shook. When Su Hui heard the sound, she immediately opened her eyes. Those eyes were sober and bright. At this time, ordinary people should be in a state of distress.
Su Hui got up quietly, walked to the window, and looked at the situation outside through the not very transparent glass beside the window.
Are you going to step on it? Or are you going to take action
If they step on the spot, they may still have accomplices. If they take action, it is better for her to "close the door and beat the dog" after they enter the yard.
There were two people who came. Judging by their stature, they were all men. They first walked around the yard, probably looking for a breakthrough, but they couldn't find a suitable place to jump in after walking around twice. Their yard is It is surrounded by bamboo and wooden stakes. When it was built, the safety of the five mothers and children was considered. The stakes were deep and stable. The height of the bamboo is about two meters. It is really difficult to jump in. Easy, unless there is a ladder.
After turning around and not finding a breakthrough point, he went to the gate of the courtyard and pushed it lightly. Dawei immediately stood up and walked quietly to the gate of the courtyard. His eyes were silent, looking outside through the gap. It woke up when it heard them wandering outside the fence of the yard, but recently there are too many people like this, it has stopped barking, but now they push the gate of the yard, it immediately: "Wow woof woof woof woof woof!! !"
The sound is fierce.
Someone cursed lowly, then dragged another companion away.
Su Hui faintly heard a low voice: "This dog needs to be dealt with first, do you still have the rat poison..."
Su Hui's eyes suddenly narrowed like a smile but not a smile.
she waits.
