So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day
Chapter 33 Confession
"This is the wall, this is the kitchen, this is the main room, this is the bedroom, oh yes, there are also the front yard and the back yard." Sui He curled up on the sofa, holding a drawing board, taking a break to draw, and drew the small yard of his dreams.
There was a plate of small tomatoes beside her, and Sui He would take one and put it in her mouth from time to time. After she came back from the homestead, she entered the space
After finishing the painting, I put the drawing board aside, opened the window, and looked at the full of vegetables and fruits in the yard. On the other side of the window, I heard a few chickens crowing, reminding the owner that it had laid eggs and needed nutrition.
Sui He took the basket, pulled a handful of vegetables, threw them into the chicken coop, picked up the still warm eggs, and put them into the bamboo basket beside him. The bamboo basket was almost full. These chickens were really good at laying eggs. A dozen chickens could lay seven or eight eggs every day.
During the trip, Sui He often brought eggs to Second Grandma and the others to nourish their bodies. When asked, he found out that they were bought in the city. He also gave some to Sister Liu, but they were not all consumed.
After thinking for a while, he took out a few more eggs and put them in his own small basket in the kitchen. In the small basket were some sweet potatoes, eggs and sweet potato tips.
Seeing that it was still early and grandpa and grandma had not come back yet, I started to cook lunch. Fortunately, I had cooked this kind of earthen stove before, so the fire started quickly.
I steamed some sweet potatoes, fried a plate of eggs and a plate of sweet potato tips. This was what they were going to eat for lunch. Just as they were done, they heard a noise at the door. It was my second grandmother and the others who had returned.
"Grandma, you're back. The meal is ready. Let's eat." Sui He put the scrambled eggs in his hand on the table in the main room.
Looking at the eggs in Sui He's hand, the two looked at each other, said nothing, and went to the kitchen to bring out the remaining things.
The three of them finished lunch quickly and cleared the table. Second Grandpa sat in his seat without moving. Sui He knew that Second Grandpa must have something to say, so he quickly cleared the table.
"Now that the homestead has been chosen, the next step is to build a house. I've asked the village chief, and we don't have any bricks for the house, so we can only borrow from other people and return them later, or we can buy it with our own money. As a family, we don't know when we can pay it back, so let's just buy it." The second grandfather tapped the table lightly and expressed his thoughts
"The homestead and the house will cost about five taels of silver. We have some savings, so we can start construction in a few days."
"Grandpa" Sui He listened for a while, frowned, and spoke carefully: "Since you want to build a house, why not build a good one, a bright and dignified blue brick and tile house, clean and looks impressive"
After hearing Sui He's words, the second grandfather thought for a while and said, "It would take about 40 to 50 taels of silver to build a big brick and tile house, including the bricks, tiles, and workers' wages. With our current savings, I'm afraid it's not enough."
Second Madam returned to her room and took out a cloth bag. She opened it in front of Sui He to reveal the small change inside, as well as some copper coins: "This is all our savings. We spent part of it on the journey, and we still have 24 taels of silver left."
"Grandpa, wait for me." Looking at the cloth bag in front of him, Sui He pulled away the bench and ran to his room. After a while, he took out a beautiful purse.
"Grandpa and grandma, look, I have some silver here." Sui He opened his purse and turned it upside down on the table. Several small silver ingots fell on the table. The most conspicuous one was the fifty-liang silver note.
Second Madam pulled the banknote over and exclaimed, "It's actually a fifty-liang banknote!"
After hearing the exclamation of the Second Grandma, Sui He finally realized that it was over. How could they have taken out all the money? She had to rack her brains to figure out where the money came from.
Fortunately, Second Grandpa and his friends did not ask Sui He where the money came from. Instead, they took the small silver ingots and roughly calculated that this pile plus their own money was about one hundred taels, which was enough for them to repair the house.
"Now it seems that we have enough silver. Since Sui He wants to live in a blue brick house, let's build a blue brick house." The second grandfather had an idea in mind. He took the fifty-liang silver note, put it in his purse, and handed it to Sui He: "You keep this. This silver is enough for us. You can keep the rest for yourself. It will be your dowry in the future."
Sui He took the purse with a confused look on his face. After watching Second Grandfather discussing the next matter with Second Grandma as usual, he became even more confused.
"Grandpa, grandma, aren't you curious about why I have so much silver?" After struggling for a long time, Sui He finally expressed his doubts. His hands on the bench unconsciously clenched and trembled a few times.
"Why are you curious? If you don't want to tell us, we won't ask. For some things, the fewer people know about them, the safer it is for you." The second grandfather looked at Sui He with a smile. Seeing Sui He drooping her head and trembling slightly, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He wanted to reach out and touch her head, but stopped in mid-air.
"Sui Sui, we are old, but we are not stupid. During this journey, we ate thirty-seven eggs, meat buns every now and then, and the bread and sweet potatoes in your backpack that have not been reduced for several months. Your small basket can't hold so many things." The second grandmother also spoke up.
"You guys?" Hearing these words, Sui He raised her head suddenly. She thought she was doing it very secretly, but she didn't expect that she had been exposed long ago. If you knew why didn't you ask her? Thinking of this, Sui He's eyes gradually became moist.
"Silly child, it's been so long, we have already treated you as our granddaughter. There are many people on this road, and there are some mysterious things that cannot be said or asked. If you are accidentally exposed, you will be in a dangerous state. How can we rest assured?"
Second Grandma walked up to her, hugged Sui He gently, and patted her back to comfort her.
"Grandma, me too. I have long regarded you as my own grandma. I must have saved the Milky Way in my previous life, so I can meet you in this life." Sui He hugged his second grandma and couldn't stop crying.
The Milky Way? Hearing this strange and strange word, the two old men looked at each other and saw puzzled looks in each other's eyes. What is that place?
"Okay, okay, don't cry, you will be our granddaughter in the future, and there is something I want to discuss with you." The second grandmother was afraid of patting Sui He
Sui He wiped her tears and came out of Second Grandma's arms embarrassedly. She was already in her thirties after two lifetimes. How could she be so embarrassed and cry? "Grandma, what's the matter?"
"I have discussed it with your grandfather. We will register you under our name in the household registration in a few days. Your parents abandoned you anyway, so it doesn't matter if they don't want you. You will live with us two old people from now on." At the suggestion of the second grandfather, I told Sui He about what they had discussed in the past two days. After all, Sui He was also a party to this matter, so I had to ask her opinion.
"Really? I do." Sui He, with tears in her eyes, immediately became happy.
She is willing
I've already agreed
