Chapter 4 4. Accident
Author: Yu Yu doesn’t eat fish
Su Yao returned home with high spirits. In the yard, Zhuang Xiaoli was still busy working.
Feeling a little sorry, Su Yao took the initiative and asked: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
When Zhuang Xiaoli heard this, she didn't say anything. Instead, she looked up at the sky. The sun had already risen to the top of her head. It was so bright that her eyes hurt. For a moment, she couldn't remember where the sun rose from.
Looking away, Zhuang Xiaoli shook off the water droplets on her hands, raised her head half-raised, and said in a charitable tone: "These are the potatoes, I'll wash them for you."
What Zhuang Xiaoli said is that a pot is full. Rural people do hard work and use more energy to eat more. This pot is only the amount of a meal.
Su Yao twitched the corner of his mouth, said nothing, and walked towards the house.
When Zhuang Xiaoli saw this, she said disdainfully: "Humph, I knew you were not made for work, and you scared me away after just one pot of potatoes. Fortunately, I have been busy with farming recently. If I had less time, the old witch at home would have to put her head on your head to treat you."
"We are the daughter-in-law of the same family, why am I so miserable? My mother-in-law doesn't know how to care about others. The man is a loser and a lazy member of the family. He treats me like a maid."
The more she talked, the angrier she became. Zhuang Xiaoli looked at Su Yao who stepped into the door, and couldn't help but vented: "I'm just a daughter-in-law who married into the house, so you're so delicate? I'll let you wash the potatoes once, and then I'll show off to you.
I cook for this big family every day, what did I say? Today this job is yours. If you can't finish washing, the whole family won't have food to eat at noon."
Su Yao paused before entering the door, turned to look at Zhuang Xiaoli, and replied expressionlessly: "I'm just going back to change into old clothes, what are you thinking!"
Zhuang Xiaoli's venting was like a fist hitting cotton, the anger was stuck in her throat, unable to come out or swallowed.
He could only continue to find fault and said: "Who is pretending to be clean? Who pays so much attention to cooking? If you are lazy and want to find excuses, you are the culprit."
Su Yao pretended not to hear and walked into the house.
When he came out again, he had put on a dark coat. He picked up the potatoes from Zhuang Xiaoli's side, changed positions and started working.
Su Yao was silent, leaving Zhuang Xiaoli nowhere to vent, so she cursed silently and entered the kitchen.
The potatoes in the pot were grown at home, but they were still caked with mud. After washing them, the mud sank in the water and became so turbid that you couldn't see the bottom of the pot. You had to change the water again.
Su Yao tried it, but the basin was too heavy to lift. He turned to Zhuang Xiaoli for help: "Sister-in-law, I've finished washing. Please lift the basin with me and pour out the dirty water."
Zhuang Xiaoli was also a calm person. She was just a wall away, so she didn't say a word. It wasn't until Su Yao took the swill bucket and poured out the dirty water in batches that she stood up and said, "As soon as I let you do the work."
It makes me uneasy. I have to ask someone to help me pour water. When I was alone, I had to do everything by myself, and I never asked for help."
This was the first time that Su Yao felt so aggrieved. He took the initiative to help and became very angry. He directly threw away the wooden spoon in his hand: "I call you sister-in-law because I respect you, not because I am afraid of you. I call you to help.
Did you help? If you didn’t help, where would you have the right to speak?”
"I saw that you were working too hard and my conscience couldn't bear it, so I offered to help you. I didn't ask you to work for me. Since you are making trouble like this, I won't do it today."
It was rare to have someone to help with the work. Zhuang Xiaoli had just been having a good rest in the kitchen. When she heard this, she became a little anxious: "If you dare to give up, everyone will have nothing to eat at noon today. I want to see your new wife."
How can I stand in this family in the future?"
Su Yao sneered: "Zhuang Xiaoli, who in this family doesn't know that my sister, Su Yaomei, is lazy. It's been three days since I came here, and have I ever done anything? I just haven't done anything today. What can they do to me? I'll take care of myself."
Eat, sleep and sleep, who will say anything?"
"It's up to you. Cooking is your job. If you can't cook the meal well, you have to figure out how to bear the anger of the whole family."
Don’t be afraid of wearing shoes if you are barefoot.
With Su Yaomei's character in front, no matter how much Su Yao did, the whole family would not take it seriously.
Zhuang Xiaoli had nothing to refute Su Yao's truth. She could only lower her attitude and give Su Yao a soft tone: "It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have picked on you. It's getting late today. I want to have a hot meal for my family."
, you'd better do something for me."
Su Yao couldn't help but look at Zhuang Xiaoli a few more times. She was so flexible and flexible, she could be considered a character.
Su Yao was silent, thinking deep down in his heart. He probably wouldn't be able to leave this home for a while. In order to have a full meal in the future, he couldn't sit around like the original person.
Zhuang Xiaoli had already set up the ladder, but Su Yao didn't feel discouraged and continued to wash the potatoes quietly.
In a quarter of an hour, Su Yao finished the work, carried the basin into the kitchen, and neatly cut it into hob pieces.
After finishing the work in hand, Su Yao looked at the kitchen and consciously put away the firewood.
Zhuang Xiaoli was not polite and handed over the task of lighting the fire to Su Yao.
The last time Su Yao watched making a fire was a plot in a TV series. Now he looked at a handful of hay, a few sticks and a small half box of matches at hand, and was stunned.
"You can't even make a fire, right?" Zhuang Xiaoli was busy adding water to the pot. When she raised her eyes, she saw Su Yao was stunned and couldn't help but say.
Su Yao, who has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running around, has always wanted to be strong. At this time, he was determined not to admit defeat. He said stubbornly: "Who can't do such a small thing?"
After opening the match, pull out a match, strike it from the side, wait until the fire starts, and throw it directly into the fire.
The weak flames disappeared in an instant, leaving Su Yao with a black line on his head.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Zhuang Xiaoli didn't pay attention to her movements. He breathed a sigh of relief and started his second attempt.
The half-box of matches was exhausted quickly after being used. Su Yao finally lit the fire after burning his hands many times. He operated as fiercely as a tiger, and the fire in the fire became more and more intense. Su Yao had a smile on his face.
meaning.
Su Yao, who kept fanning himself to help the fire, did not notice at all that an unburned piece of wood fell to the ground in the corner of the stove, and the scarlet flame ignited the dry grass below.
"It's on fire." Zhuang Xiaoli was just below, and out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of the sparks beside Su Yao's legs, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.
Su Yao was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Water, water." Su Yao panicked, turned around and looked around, found the location of the bucket, filled a ladle of cold water directly, and threw it towards the fire.
The fire was not very big, and it was still far away from other firewood. After three ladles of water fell to the ground, the fire was extinguished.
Su Yao relaxed and sat back on the bench and breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his head and saw that a big hole had been burned out of his trouser leg at some point. There was also a piece of skin burned inside, which was burning and painful.
His nose was sore and his eyes were red. Thinking of his current situation, Su Yao couldn't help but cry.
