Chapter 6: Su Family Courtyard
After staying in the city for a long time, Su He hasn't heard such sounds for a long time.
It was as if I was back in my childhood in the countryside with my grandparents, and my heart couldn't help but relax.
When Old Mrs. Su came out after finishing her work and saw her granddaughter in this state, she couldn't help but slow down her pace and strode into the house to do other chores.
Su He sat with his eyes closed for a long time, then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better.
When she opened her eyes, the dazzling sunlight made her subconsciously raise her hand to cover her eyes. After a few seconds, she slowly adapted and removed her hand. Su He blinked and looked around.
It has been quite some time since Su He came here, but only now did he have the chance to take a good look at the Su family's yard.
The Su family was a large family with several thatched houses and a meter-high wall made of earth.
Su He guessed that it should have been built when the Su family was still doing well. Although the mud didn't cost money, it required labor and time. Many families disliked the trouble and simply made a fence with wood.
But Yunli Village is at the foot of this mountain, surrounded by big mountains. Only the village has some people, and there are almost no people within dozens of miles around the village. If the wall is not well built, it would be terrible if wild beasts came down the mountain.
I have to say that Grandpa Su is very far-sighted. The wall and the gate cannot be neglected.
On one side of the house is a small, simply built kitchen. The yard is quite large and there is a well not far from the kitchen, which makes daily washing, laundry and cooking very convenient.
The yard was very clean, and you could tell at a glance that this family must be diligent in cleaning on a daily basis.
Under the eaves, there were neatly stacked chopped firewood that looked at least one person tall. Looking at the shabby thatched house in front of him, which had a full and warm atmosphere of home, Su He had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"Ah He, I'm going out to pick some wild vegetables. You should stay at home and don't go out."
Mrs. Su thought about it and was still worried about whether the wild vegetables Su He picked at noon were edible. What if they were not edible...
She should go out again and pick some familiar wild vegetables. If those she picked at noon were not edible, at least she would have some for dinner.
Su He was a little amused after hearing this. She also knew that her grandmother must have some doubts in her heart, worrying that the wild vegetables she picked at noon were not edible. But she was afraid of hurting her feelings if she said it directly, so she didn't say it directly.
"Grandma, we picked enough for lunch, and they are delicious. Don't worry, I will wash them and prepare dinner."
After saying that, Su He stood up and prepared to go into the kitchen to take out the water celery and wild mint that he picked today and wash them.
It’s getting late, and grandpa and the others should be back soon.
When she heard that Su He wanted to make dinner, Old Lady Su immediately forgot about the wild vegetables and quickly waved her hand to stop him:
"Don't...don't, I can do it. You are weak, so don't bother."
In recent years, Su He has been taking medicine every few days and has rarely even left the house. Today, he looks in good spirits and even follows her to the fields to deliver meals.
I must not work too hard right now. What if I get sick from overwork? There is not a penny left in the house.
If I get sick from overwork, it would be adding insult to injury. I really don’t know what to do then.
Su He turned around, smiled softly at Old Lady Su, and said comfortingly:
"Grandma, I'm really fine. I went for a walk with you today and I feel much more refreshed. Maybe I should have moved around a long time ago. Maybe I'll be better now."
Taking medicine all year round and not doing much exercise, it would be strange if this person could be energetic.
Moreover, Su He went out for a walk today and basked in the sun for a while, and now he really feels refreshed.
The most important thing is that she really doesn’t want to eat the food cooked by Grandma Su anymore. After eating it for so many days, she wants to eat something delicious.
The water celery and wild mint she picked today, although they are also wild vegetables, she used to cook them a lot when she was living in the countryside with her grandparents. They tasted so good that she had to eat them today no matter what.
Actually, it’s not that the dishes cooked by Old Lady Su are not delicious, it’s just that the Su family is poor, so when cooking, they simply boil the dishes in water. There are no other ingredients, and they are not even willing to add more oil. It would be strange if the dishes were delicious.
Seeing that Su He was so persistent, Old Mrs. Su didn't say anything more. She could only follow Su He and planned to wait until the food was washed and then cook it herself. As long as it was not poisonous, it should be edible.
Su He didn't think too much about it. His mind had already flown to how to cook these two dishes later.
Su He entered the kitchen, put the water celery and wild mint picked at noon into the vegetable basket, then took a basin of water and walked to the yard.
He squatted by the well, filled the basin with water, took a small stool, and began to wash the water celery.
When picking, Su He only chooses the tenderer parts at the top, so there is no need to pick them anymore. But this one grows in water, so it needs to be washed several times.
Seeing this, Old Lady Su also sat down opposite Su He, looked at Su He's appearance, and helped to clean up.
The two of them worked quickly and soon washed the water celery and wild mint. Su He stood up and planned to go into the kitchen to see what was there and see how to cook these two dishes tonight.
Just as the two stood up, the courtyard door creaked and was pushed open from the outside. Su He turned around to see who was coming.
I guess it’s Grandpa Su and the others who have returned. Judging from the time, they should be back soon.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a joyful cry: "Sister..."
It was Su Chi's voice.
After the gate was pushed open, along with Su Chi's shout, what came into view was Su Chi's bright smiling face.
Su Chi's sleeves and trouser legs were rolled up high, his face was covered with mud, and he was barefoot.
In one hand he was holding a cloth shoe, and in the other he was holding four or five palm-sized fish strung together with lemongrass.
Seeing Su He in the yard, the corners of her mouth widened immediately. She raised her hand holding the fish to Su He and shouted loudly: "Sister, look, fish!"
After saying that, he ran towards Su He. Su Chi liked Su He the most. Usually, he didn't like to play with the children in the village when he had free time.
Apart from helping with housework, he spent the rest of his time around Su He, telling her about what he saw every day.
So even if Su He didn't go out, he still knew a little about what happened in the village, all because of his little brother Su Chi.
Su Chi was even happier to see Su He able to go out today. When he heard his uncle say that he would pick some wild flowers for Su He and put them in the house after work, he was very supportive.
