Chapter 117 1 Scold, 2 Think, 3 Mutter
I thought the rain wouldn't last long, but it rained all night.
Sui He went to the field wearing straw sandals. The tomato seedlings had just been planted. It had been raining for a long time, and she was afraid that some of the seedlings would fall in the field. If they did, she would have to replant them as soon as possible.
When I got to the field, I saw that some seedlings had been washed out by the rain.
Sui He picked up the seedlings, dug a new hole with a small hoe, buried them, and compacted the surrounding area.
The land was very wet after the rain and the soil became sticky. Sui He walked around the field and his feet were covered with mud.
Sui He tried hard to lift his feet up, but unfortunately there was too much mud and it was a bit difficult to walk. Sui He picked up a dry branch and scraped the mud off his straw sandals.
After scraping the mud off the two pairs of shoes, walking became easier.
After all, they are straw sandals. No matter how hard you scrape them, there will still be a lot of mud on them.
On the way home, I passed by the stream in front of my house, took off my shoes, stood in the water, and let the stream wash away the mud on my feet.
It had rained all night, the stream was running fast, and the water level had risen a lot. Sui He did not dare to walk to the middle of the stream, but just stood on a rock beside it.
The stream water has overflowed the rocks, and Sui He stepped on them just right. The cool stream water washed Sui He's feet.
"Sui Sui, don't play for too long, be careful of catching a cold." At the gate of the yard, grandma saw Sui He playing in the stream and shouted worriedly.
"Oh, I see," Sui He raised his head and responded. The stream water in April was still very cold. Sui He played for a while, then went ashore and put on a new pair of shoes.
In the past two months, most of the work in the fields has been done, with only some odd jobs left. Grandpa and grandma would take a look around and finish them.
Once I was free, Suihe felt a little uncomfortable.
Is it because she is used to farming?
“Ahhh~Ahhh~Ahhh~”
Sui He, who was sitting in the yard packing things, suddenly sneezed several times.
"What's wrong? Are you catching a cold?" Grandma heard Sui He sneeze and thought Sui He had caught a cold because he had just soaked in the stream for too long.
"I'm fine, grandma, my nose just suddenly itches." Sui He rubbed his nose
Sui He stretched out his fingers and counted them, "One scold, two think, three nag, is someone thinking about me?" Just three sneezes
"Grandma, someone is talking about me. Who is talking about me?" Sui He put down his fingers and tilted his head to ask his grandmother.
"Who is nagging you? Don't think too much. I think you just played around and got cold feet." Grandma glanced at her, got up and walked to the kitchen: "The cold starts from the feet. I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup later."
"Ah, can I not drink the ginger soup? I'm really fine." When he heard that grandma was going to make ginger soup, Sui He got anxious and hurried forward to hold grandma
At the same time, Tongren Restaurant
Shopkeeper Li paced back and forth in the restaurant.
"Shopkeeper, please stop turning. It makes me dizzy." The waiter leaned against the wall with a towel in his hand, looking helplessly at the shopkeeper in front of him.
"You said it's been two months, why hasn't Sui He come to see me yet?" Shopkeeper Li stopped and walked up to the waiter.
"Didn't the villagers say that they bought some land recently for spring ploughing? They must be busy with farming." The waiter said helplessly, sighed, picked up the rag in his hand, and wiped the table in front of him.
"You can't be so busy for so long," Shopkeeper Li stood there, a light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly realized, "I think she has probably forgotten me."
"Boss, how about I go get the car ready and we go to Qingshan Village? That way you don't have to worry about it." The waiter had no choice but to make a suggestion.
"No, if she's busy, it would be inappropriate for us to disturb her." After hearing the waiter's opinion, Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up, then he shook his head.
"How about we give her a message?" the waiter continued to suggest.
"No," Shopkeeper Li refused without thinking, and then thought: "Hasn't last month's profit been sent to her yet?"
"It seems that there is not yet." After thinking for a while, the waiter stood up from the stool and said, "Boss, what do you mean?"
"Hurry up and prepare the car. Let's go to Qingshan Village." Shopkeeper Li smiled cunningly. Giving money over should not be considered a nuisance.
"Okay," the waiter responded, put down the rag in his hand, turned around and went to the backyard to prepare the car.
"Oh, I'm really smart!" Shopkeeper Li stroked his beard and smiled proudly.
In Qingshan Village, Suihe is processing the dried bamboo shoots in his hands. He has dried a lot of bamboo shoots recently, filling two sacks. He took out a few pieces and threw them into the water to soak.
Put all the rest in the warehouse and take them out when you want to eat them later.
"Grandma, boil some water. We're going to stew chicken with bamboo shoots tonight," Sui He shouted, and walked towards the backyard.
There were several fat old hens in the backyard. Sui He picked the fattest one and took it out by the wings.
After the action is done, chop it into small pieces and throw it into the pot
The chicken of this kind of food is old and needs to be stewed for a long time before the meat becomes soft and rotten. However, the old hen stewed in a wood stove is very fragrant.
The chicken in the pot has already started to stew. Suihe went to the backyard to pick some sweet potato tips to stir-fry later.
I won't be steaming rice tonight. I'll just make two small pancakes with chicken soup. It's another simple meal.
"Wang Wang Wang"
Sui He, who was busy in the kitchen, heard a dog barking fiercely in the yard, put down what he was doing, and left the kitchen.
At a glance, I saw the shopkeeper Li and the waiter who were blocked at the door by gold and silver.
"Manager Li, why are you here?" Sui He stepped forward, patted Jin Zi's head, and kicked him, signaling them to stand aside.
"I see you haven't been to my place for a long time. I'll send you last month's profit." Shopkeeper Li walked in and took a look at the gold and silver. "Your dog has a really bad memory. I just haven't been here for a few days and you forgot about me, just like someone else."
"I'll take care of them later. They have no memory at all and still can't recognize people after such a long time." Sui He touched her nose awkwardly. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Shopkeeper Li was training the dog or scolding her in the name of the dog.
To be honest, she was so busy these past two days that she really forgot about Shopkeeper Li.
"Don't worry about them for now. What are you soaking?" Shopkeeper Li walked into the yard and was attracted by the bamboo shoots in the basin. They were the bamboo shoots she had picked when she passed by the bamboo forest in the morning. Now they were soaked in water.
"These are bamboo shoots. I soak them to eat," Sui He explained.
"Oh, food." Shopkeeper Li stared at the pot of bamboo shoots thoughtfully.
Shopkeeper Li followed Sui He into the room and sat down.
Grandma took two glasses of water and placed them in front of Shopkeeper Li: "You must be thirsty after walking such a long way, drink some water."
"Thank you." Shopkeeper Li took the water, drank a sip and put it beside him, then handed the account book he brought with him to Sui He.
"This is your 20% profit. Take a look at the account book. These past two months are a lean period, and not many people come into the restaurant. Although we have hotpot to support it, overall, business is still not as good as before."
"Well, let me see." Sui He took the account book and started reading it. This year, Sui He has learned a lot of words. She doesn't want to be illiterate again, so she studies and practices calligraphy whenever she has time. Now she can understand the account book.
