Eldest Sister, Why Haven’t You Married Yet

In the golden autumn season, autumn is refreshing.

From the south gate of Luohe Prefecture, going south, in the rice fields on both sides of the Wuliqiao River, the golden rice ears had already bowed their heads, and the cool autumn wind blew through, and there was a clattering sound. That was the joy of harvest, and it was again. In the year, the autumn harvest season that the top villagers are most looking forward to.

The Su family only planted more than two acres of sunflower seeds this year, and it was time to mature.

The dewdrops were still hanging on both sides of the trail and bent slightly over the grass of the dog’s tail. The bright Dipper in the sky was still pointing the way for the lost travelers. At the moment, the sky was still dark blue, and only a shallow white fish belly was exposed in the east. People have gone to the ground early.

The seventeen chickens in the house that had grown into eggs and crowing were still asleep in the chicken pen, but the kitchen smoke had risen in the kitchen. The aroma of japonica rice porridge filled the small courtyard, waking up the sleeping people.

The freshly groomed young Jin entered the kitchen at a brisk pace, and Wu Ya’er, who was in charge of cooking today, saw her up and grinned: “Yu Jin, you are early, breakfast will have to wait for a while!” After playing three more good hands at the age of fourteen or five at home, Young Jin handed over three meals a day to three capable girls who were in charge of the Su family. Each person took turns to cook for five days.

The three girls are extremely hard-working. Although they have some work to do after they come to the Su family, they can eat enough, and they can eat meat every day. The work they do is much faster than when they were at home. Alright, so all three girls were very happy.

In the early morning of early autumn, the well water was cold, and after washing his face with cold water, the young Jin, who had a lot of energy and nodded, smiled and nodded. After entering the kitchen, he quickly arranged the tableware and arranged it. Wu Yaer also served breakfast with japonica rice. The porridge vegetables were fried and served on the table.

Everyone who wants to get up early to work has gotten up, and five or six girls have good appetite. After a while, they ate a small half of the pot of soft and delicious rice porridge, dispelling the waking up early and the coolness of early autumn, holding a sickle, Carrying the basket to the sunflower field on the side.

“This flower pot is much bigger than my face!” Erya cut a sunflower pot with a grin and compared it to her face before putting it into the basket.

Wu Ya’er also smiled and cut a sunflower, holding it heavily in his hand, and said: “Yes! This flower pot is really big!” The fat of the young Jindui came to this wasteland. After fattening the ground, sunflowers will naturally grow well, which can be said to be a bumper harvest.

Several little girls laughed and laughed, and did not delay the work in their hands. When the sun rose and the dew on the sunflowers dissipated, two and a half acres of sunflower fields had been harvested.

Sunflower poles cut to the ground are thrown everywhere, just waiting to be dried and then fired into grass and ash to nourish the land. This was already the fifth trip for the young Jin people to go home carrying sunflower trays full of baskets.

The sun is gradually rising, and the coolness of early autumn turns into an autumn tiger. The Su Jiatong totally wanted to harvest these sunflowers, so naturally there was no hurry. Looking at less than half of the uncut sunflower, he picked up a thick cotton drape on his shoulder and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. He said, “Come here today, and come tomorrow morning to cut the rest. Finish.”

When several people saw her saying this, they stopped the work in their hands and put the cut sunflower into the basket and carried it home. On the road, I met several villagers who pushed the carts to pull the grain back to the village to dry the sun. They smiled and greeted You Jin: “Yu Jin girl, did you go home before you got up?”

“Yeah, Aunt Wu, our family is all girls, so I can’t get out of the sun!” Smiling, I stepped forward and helped Aunt Wu and his wife take the handle and pushed the cart to the door of Su’s house. Young Jin stopped and smiled and waved with them. Say goodbye, then push open the door to enter.

At this time, the Su family yard was covered with large and small sunflower pots. Young Jin moved carefully, for fear of stepping on sunflower. I went into the kitchen, bathed in hot water, and put on clean cotton clothes. Then I came out to help Su’s take away the sticky Kang’er and let Su take the young beads and three girls to the kitchen to continue training. The cooking is gone.

Although Yulan does not know how to cook, she has not done any rough work, but she did a good job in embroidering. She also helped Su’s bring two and a half-year-old dolls well. The children recognize the word and the schedule is very dense.

Traditional Chinese characters are also generally recognized, but the brush characters are still poorly written. In order to cover up their “natural talents”, Young Jin still insists on following the Magnolia to recognize characters every day. Not only that, but Yulan also teaches several sisters daily etiquette, but she has high hopes for each sister.

At the beginning, Yulan was a little scared when she heard that You Jin had to pay the etiquette, but after staying in the Su family for a while, she also saw that the Su girl was a good deal, so she did not dare to slow down her words. Sun taught the poems and book etiquette of the seven children of the Su family with due diligence. A few children were clever and intelligent, and they did not struggle very hard to teach themselves.

A few days after the Su family’s sunflowers were harvested, Chen Yaren came to the house with good news.

“Youjin, let me tell you, you will be satisfied with the shop this time!” Chen Yaren smiled and drank a big sip of white sugar water before he said the good news brought back this time: “It’s the grocery store behind the mobile stall where you put the sour plum soup in front. The family is leaving Luohe Prefecture, so I am anxious to sell the store. I heard about the news and hurried to you!”

“Which shop of the shopkeeper surnamed Li is going to be sold?” You Jin naturally remembered Li Ershun. After all, he placed a summer stall at the door of the shop to sell sour plum soup. “His business is doing well, why did he suddenly say that he wants to sell the shop?”

When she saw her, she remembered, Chen Yaren smiled and said, “Then there is news from Li Ershun’s hometown, his father is gone, and he will go back to keep filial piety! He was not originally from our Luohe Prefecture. He gave birth to the idea of ​​selling a shop back to his hometown. Isn’t it? As soon as I heard about this, I immediately found Li Ershun and let him keep it.

Although Li Ershun’s shop is not large, it is mainly in a good location. It is located at the junction of East and West. Every day, there are only one thousand and eight hundred people passing by the door of his shop. Young Jin naturally likes this house. Although it is small, it is a rare place in such a good location. He asked: “How much did Li’s shopkeeper say?”

The shopkeeper Li did not speak. He compared his two fingers. Young Jin frowned. “I’m so expensive?” I have seen other shops before. A shop about the same size as Li Ershun’s family has a maximum of two hundred. He Li Ershun too dared to make a price!

Seeing her like this, Chen Yaren knew she was too expensive and hurriedly said: “This Li family’s price is more expensive, but if you really want young gold, I’ll go talk to Li treasurer, you give I can accept the price. Let me talk to the shopkeeper Li, how ?? Chen Yaren was originally entrusted by the young gold, plus he was watching the Su family to start, in order to earn more money in the future, naturally in my heart. Partial to the Su family.

Young Jin thought for a while, and then said: “Up to one hundred and sixty-two, no matter how much.” Opening a snack shop requires a lot of silver investment in the early stage, plus 14 people in their own family are waiting for dinner, young Jin can Don’t take this risk.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yaren nodded: “Well, I will go to the city and find the shopkeeper Li to have a good talk.” Then he hurriedly left. On the second day, it brought good news.

Li Ershunyi heard that it was the Su girl who wanted to buy his shop. He originally nodded as little as 172. He also nodded happily and promised to bring his own a narrow backyard and two rooms at a price of 162. The shop in the room was sold to the Su family.

Li Ershun gave his face this way, and the young gold naturally accepted his feelings. He happily exchanged money and goods, and Chen Yaren was quick to handle things. After another day, he handed the key to the young gold together with the red deed. Laughing to call Young Jin the Su shopkeeper: “The shopkeeper Su, you have to take care of my business in the future!”

Young Jin was embarrassed by him, but he still had a faint smile on his face: “There will be places for you to take care of Uncle Chen in the future!”

***

Because he wanted to change the grocery store into a snack shop, most of the old furniture left by Li Ershun could not be used anymore. Youjin hired a bullock cart to pull the available furniture back to the Su household, and then moved the shop Renovated it again, paste windows with clear paper, greatly increase the light in the shop, and add more walnut shelves, put two pots of dwarf pine and vertical begonias in the corner, compared with the dim light shop before It is a world apart.

The Magnolia was well written, and Yu Jin asked her to write a horoscope for the Su family ’s dim sum shop, and found a carpenter to make a new plaque hanging on the door, covered with a red cloth, just waiting for the opening day. open.

The Su family shop is about to open, and the young gold will be more busy. I bought a beige and lotus-colored fine cotton material and went back to tell Magnolia about her requirements. Then let her take the mankind for Su, young gold, You Yin, Youzhu and Erya three each made two sets of narrow-sleeved tops with pleated skirts, and the words “Su Jiaxiang” were embroidered on the left chest of the top.

“Sujiaxiang” is a good name that Youjin made for her snack shop.

The magnolia is clever, and the three girls are rough and understand some needlework. It is quick for four people to make clothes together. Wait for the young gold to receive enough osmanthus, flour, peas and other raw materials for snacks and put them behind the shop. When the warehouse room went, all the clothes were made. Magnolia also used the leftover materials to make a nice little jacket for the few remaining girls in the Su family who did not have uniforms.

Su and Zhao, who have been in the most recent contact, inquired about the fortune-tellers who were nearby to show their days, and they took a good look at the good days of the eighth day of November.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the fifth day, with the two small ones. The Su family all went to the shop to do the final preparations, but the shop of about 40 square meters was full of more than a dozen people standing in Dangdang. It was really a bit crowded.

On the shelf of custom-made snacks for young gold, a bamboo card with the name of the snack written by Yulan was hung in front of each grid. Yulan wrote a beautiful regular script, and Yujin looked very satisfied.

After several months of tossing and the decision of the Su family’s internal vote, there are eight kinds of snacks that can be put on the shelves of the Su family’s dim sum shop. , Sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake, bean paste pie and four-color slice cake.
