Rebirth at the starting point of happiness
Chapter 38 The Small-minded Second Cousin
"What's wrong?" Su Qiuyue continued with the work in her hands and asked Xu Hua without raising her head.
"Let Xinyue scold her, don't worry about it. My second sister deserves to be scolded." Xu Hua looked unhappy, and what she said seemed like she had a grudge against her second sister.
Seeing Su Qiuyue raised her eyebrows, she continued:
"My second sister is narrow-minded. Didn't you make a cotton waistcoat for my eldest sister before the Chinese New Year? It was one with small floral patterns.
There are a few girls in the team wearing floral clothes now.
She thought that you gave her the gift as a thank you because my eldest sister always came to visit. If she hadn't been at home looking after me and my younger siblings, she would have also had a floral waistcoat.
She was just unhappy because she didn't get what she wanted, and she was jealous of all of us.
Because of this, after the Chinese New Year, she said a lot of bad things to me in front of my eldest sister.
As a result, my elder sister no longer wears that cotton vest.
Later on, she often came to your house. The last time you went back to collect herbs, you asked my eldest sister to look after the house, and she became even more reluctant.
She thinks that it is wrong for you to look down on her for being so sincere and doing good to you.
She just wants a floral dress, who doesn't know that?
Anyway, what he said was rude, he deserved to be scolded." Xu Hua said unhappily.
In fact, what her second sister said was even more unpleasant. Her second sister was making a fire that day, and she heard her second sister mumbling there.
What this means is that the Su Qiuyue sisters are not even remotely related relatives, but they came to them for help, and they took such good care of them, so how dare they look down on her?
They lent money to her family, and they thought her family would take better care of them, right? Besides, they didn't refuse to pay it back.
Why do you look down on her?
Xu Hua didn't dare to say anything because she would be beaten by her second sister, but she knew that her second sister was mad because she didn't get the floral waistcoat she wanted.
Her second sister knew that she was crooked, and she would be beaten if she dared to speak out, so she dared to mutter it secretly.
But even if it's just whispering, it's annoying.
Today, I just couldn't help myself. I thought Xinyue was a child and easy to control. I gave her a cold shoulder and said some sour words. Now, I've hit a wall. I hope her father doesn't beat her.
Su Xinyue finally understood what was going on. No wonder she didn't see her second cousin when she came back. Before she left, she noticed that her second cousin seemed dissatisfied with something. She didn't take it to heart at the time, but she didn't expect that she would gossip in front of her cousin. She really thought she was someone who could be bullied.
Su Xinyue was so angry that there was no movement in the room. My cousin's grandmother wouldn't care, and my cousin and his family had gone to work.
My second cousin was cooking at home, and only Xiaoling and Xiaohui were at home.
But the neighbors who were at home heard it, and I guess my cousin will know when he comes back in the afternoon.
"Xinyue, you're back!" Su Qiuyue did not teach her sister a lesson, but just called her back. She let it go after scolding her. How could Xu Jing dare to scold back when she was in the wrong?
"Cousin, we don't think like her, so please don't be angry with me." Xu Hua remembered at this time that it was her sister who was scolded, and it was her cousin who was scolding others.
Quickly distance yourself from the matter and remove yourself from it.
"I'm not angry with you. Xiaohua is a good child." Su Qiuyue said with a smile and waved her hand to let her help with the work.
It really proves the saying that the one who owes money is the grandfather, and the one who borrows money is the grandson.
My second cousin is such a crooked person. She is very mean and picky, but she is really bad at doing things.
When she and her sister first arrived at the 17th Brigade and lived in her cousin's house, she never said a word.
She bought her own house and she never showed up to help clean it up. She could understand that there was need for cooking and housework at home.
But her aunt was the one who made the fire and cooked the meals. She had her own clothes, shoes and socks in her hands. She just looked at the child while her aunt was working.
When Xiaoling was sick, my aunt was worried and her health wasn't very good either.
My eldest cousin had to go to work, like a man. She was the one who carried firewood and put vegetables into the cellar.
Xiao Ling was frightened by Xu Hua that day, and it was also due to the inaction of her second cousin.
The adults were busy with their work, so they asked her to look after the house and cook.
She just ignored Xu Hua because she was annoyed, which led to Xiao Ling getting frightened.
Later, Xu Hua said that she had originally planned to wash her hair that day, but because her family was sick or busy, the cooking work fell on her and she couldn't wash her hair properly.
There was no shampoo at that time, so people used sauerkraut water to wash their hair in winter. It had a cleansing effect after fermentation.
When there is no sauerkraut, we use rice washing water. The rice washing water is collected and placed in the corner of the stove. It slowly ferments when heated during cooking. It can be used to wash hair and it is very clean, but it has a bad smell. However, the smell will be gone if you rinse it with clean water after washing your hair.
She was too lazy to do it herself, so her eldest cousin did it. There was only one wash left, so she wanted to wash her hair quickly, but now that she was asked to cook, she couldn't do it.
He only thought about his own unhappy things and didn't care about his two younger sisters.
He is so selfish. He does so many things one after another. He doesn't even know that he is disliked by others, but he still tries to pick on others.
What Su Qiuyue hated was that she jumped in front of her. Did she not eat the food she sent to her or was it useless? She ate it and started cursing behind her back before she could even defecate.
Normally, the two of them rarely interacted with each other. She could understand that people thought that they were two orphans who came to her house and didn't want to waste time and energy, so she felt it was normal that their relationship was not that strong.
However, thinking back on these few encounters, it was not unreasonable for her to feel awkward. She had a purpose in mind, so whatever she did was not from the heart.
No wonder people always feel something is weird, but because they are my uncle and my eldest cousin, we always feel like relatives, so we don’t think too much about it.
Su Qiuyue didn't want to be affected by her mood. If she disliked him, then she disliked him. She was not afraid of falling out. As she said, even if they were not related at all, they didn't have to be relatives.
At night, Su Qiuyue could hear her cousin cursing in the backyard at home.
Xinyue was a trustworthy person and ran to watch the fun.
When he came back, he brought Xu Hua and his cousin with him.
"Qiuyue, Xiaojing is an annoying person with a crooked mind. Don't take what she says to heart." The eldest cousin came up and apologized directly. After all, it was her younger sister who did something wrong, and it was normal for her to apologize as the eldest sister.
"Sister, what are you talking about? Besides, it has nothing to do with you, why are you apologizing?" Su Qiuyue said as she looked at her cousin's braid that just reached past her shoulders.
This cousin really looks like a big sister. When she first came, she had two big braids, which were thick and black. The braids were slightly above her waist. She walked fast, and the braids bounced behind her.
It always gives people a spirited feeling.
Every time my cousin swung her long braids back while working, she looked so beautiful that it was indescribable.
After my aunt was discharged from the hospital, my cousin focused on her work, thinking about the money she owed her.
In order to make it easier to manage, I cut my long braids into small braids that were longer than my shoulders.
Xu Hua said that the eldest cousin's long braids could be sold for a lot of money. Su Qiuyue asked the eldest cousin if she cried, saying that girls nowadays really take care of their hair.
Xu Hua said, no, my cousin didn’t shed a single tear.
He just took the hair and looked at it for a while and said, "You are the one who delayed my work."
Su Qiuyue couldn't tell what she felt. What girl doesn't love beauty? Her cousin just said no so casually.
Just like now, everything I do is open and aboveboard, without explanation or concealment.
Once I have made a decision, I never waste time agonizing over it. I am very free and easy about it.
It's true that ordinary men can't compare to such a lively cousin.
"Just sit still and relax. I'm not unreasonable. What does this have to do with you?
Everyone has their own fate, so let's just let it go as it is, and don't worry about it." Su Qiuyue pulled her eldest cousin over to sit down, not wanting the second cousin's affairs to affect their relationship.
My cousin paused and then sat down.
The two talked for a while, and then the cousin went back.
Now that she has started working, my cousin earns ten work points a day and doesn't have time for idle chatting.
The next day, Xu Hua came early and told her what happened yesterday.
Yesterday, when my cousin and his family came home, they heard Xinyue arguing with the children.
Xinyue's curse words were also learned by others. It sounded like a family member was talking badly to someone else's child.
When his cousin came home and asked about it, Xu Hua, the fool, told him directly what had happened and also told him what he had overheard his second sister mumbling that day.
This caused Xu Jing to rush out and want to hit Xu Hua. She muttered to herself that she was just talking for fun. In fact, she knew that what she said was unreasonable. She also knew that she was just itching and was upset that she couldn't get the floral dress.
Even her aunt, who was not a harsh person, said she was crooked, and her cousin beat her severely with a stove hook.
The eldest cousin came back and said that Su Qiuyue and her sister didn't take it to heart. Only then did my cousin sigh and say that the child was not well taught.
Originally Xu Jing was doing some light work at home, but now she is also required to go to the fields to earn work points.
The second cousin is the prettiest among the sisters, she is smart and good at making people happy. I always think it is good for a little girl like her to do some easy work. Gradually, she got used to it.
The eldest sister was caring for her younger siblings and didn't think there was anything wrong with her working at home, so she never forced her to work in the fields.
In addition, there are many children in the family and she is old, so gradually she started to have bad thoughts and started to calculate even the trivial matters.
This time, everyone in her family thought that she should be more tired as she was idle at home all day and had all kinds of bad thoughts.
In fact, apart from feeling a little uncomfortable at the beginning, Su Qiuyue didn't feel anything afterwards.
Knowing what she is like, she just keeps her distance. If other people feel the same way, or feel sorry for their sisters and are no longer close to her, she can accept it. After all, they are a family.
It was just awkward for a few days, and afterwards neither my eldest cousin nor my cousin mentioned the incident again, and everything was just the same as usual.
Su Qiuyue felt relieved in this way. After all, they would have to get along with each other in the future, and it would not be good for the relationship to be too stiff.
As for the younger one, he didn't understand what was going on at all. Xu Hua only recognized the principle but not the relationship. This is what she said herself.
Su Qiuyue's vegetable garden is now suitable for growing vegetables. Her eldest cousin was afraid that she had never grown vegetables before, so she came here with her cousin.
While teaching her, Su Qiuyue turned the land over for her, and planted the vegetable seeds that her aunt had given her before in pieces.
I specially planted a row of gourds in the corner of the wall.
"Why do you plant so many gourds? One or two are enough, and you can grow several more." Xu Feng asked with a frown when he saw that she had planted all the gourd seeds in her hand.
"I'll keep it for fine grains and medicine," said Su Qiuyue.
"How much money have you invested? Have you recovered the cost of the plaster? Are you still struggling? Do you have any money left?" Xu Feng always felt that she had given her all the money and was afraid that she would not have enough money when she needed it.
“It’s not much money. After the autumn harvest, when more people use the medicine, we can sell it back.
Besides, in the future I just need to put in some effort to collect herbs, and I won’t have to spend any money myself.
I still have money in my hand, don't worry about it. "Su Qiuyue knew what she was thinking about and said quickly.
"You have to pay for the herbs you collect yourself. It's just a waste of effort." Xu Feng rolled her eyes at her, thinking that this kid was a little silly.
"I know. I'm not that stupid." Su Qiuyue said quickly. This cousin is really caring.
After finishing her vegetable garden, Su Qiuyue made some Sanfu paste and went to collect herbs again.
Thinking of taking Su Xinyue with her, she went to school to ask for leave, but unexpectedly she met Song Xiaojuan on the way.
"Long time no see, Su Zhiqing." As soon as Song Xiaojuan saw her, she smiled and greeted her without saying anything.
"Yes, Song Zhiqing." It is said that you should not hit a smiling person, Su Qiuyue said politely.
"I heard that you went to Shanghe Village to collect herbs in the mountains. Did it go well?" Song Xiaojuan asked with a smile, as if she was really curious and wanted to chat.
"Yes, it's okay. I don't know much, and there are few that I can use. They are all plasters according to old recipes, which are for anti-inflammatory and analgesic purposes. I don't know anything else." Su Qiuyue said quickly. It was not her who prescribed the medicine, this was not a prescription.
“This is amazing, we don’t know how to do this.
By the way, which team are you in Shanghe Village?" Song Xiaojuan asked.
"Team six." Su Qiuyue's heart moved.
"Team Six, that's great. I'm going to Shanghe Village in a couple of days. We can go together then so you can have some company." Song Xiaojuan said.
"You want to go?" Su Qiuyue didn't understand what she could do to get the captain's approval to let her go.
"The educated youth who came here with me is getting married, so I'm going to go see her." Song Xiaojuan raised her hand and tidied the hair by her ear.
"Hey, don't forget to call me when the time comes, we'll go together." Song Xiaojuan didn't seem to want to say anything more, so she quickly ended the topic and then parted with Su Qiuyue with a smile.
Su Qiuyue really admired her. When she spoke, she always gave people the feeling that she had almost finished what she was saying, which made people want to continue talking.
Next time we meet, I will focus on what she says, which will give the next conversation a particularly reasonable feeling. This is something that not everyone can do.
Su Qiuyue didn't want to waste her energy on her. She would know when the time came. If she wanted to hit on her, Song Xiaojuan would definitely tell her if she didn't go.
The family entrusted the matter to her cousin, and this time Su Qiuyue not only brought her sister, but also Dahuang.
Dahuang is taken care of very well at home. He always wags his tail and acts coquettishly to please others.
Su Qiuyue wanted it to learn from the dogs of mountain hikers, to be more alert and powerful. Otherwise, how could it be relied on to guard the house?
This time when we go up the mountain, we can see small insects in the mountains.
It was Su Xinyue’s first time going up the mountain. She walked through the woods, hearing birds chirping and the occasional shouts of hikers coming from far and near.
Those mountain hikers always go up the mountain together in groups, as there is less danger when there are more people.
In order to avoid getting separated, a group of people will have an agreed-upon shouting call. Once they shout, everyone will know their location, and when needed, they just need to shout a few more times and someone will come over.
The shouts of Xu De and the others were “Yo~Hao~” like folk songs.
When one person shouted, the others would shout as well, making sure each other had not gone too far. Those who had gone too far would slowly walk back.
Others who noticed that there were fewer people could go and see if anything had happened.
Su Qiuyue also shouted along, and Xinyue also shouted because she thought it was fun.
As soon as Dahuang entered the woods, he ran like crazy, but he was still obedient and ran back when he ran too far.
Zhang Chunsheng also learned how to pick wild vegetables, so he had learned some skills. He picked a lot and brought home a lot of them, so that his family could have some fresh food and be fuller.
Some things began to bear seeds, and Su Qiuyue secretly put them into the space without anyone's knowledge.
She also discovered orchids. The orchids that would later be used to make her spend the rest of her life in prison are now just interesting little wild flowers in the mountains. Except for the little girl Xinyue who found them interesting and looked at them a few more times, no one went back to pick them.
Su Qiuyue didn't know what she was thinking and dug a lot in the space.
It was planted in a small plot of land next to the spring. It looked very beautiful.
