Chapter 27 The worries of the two elders
The sky was slightly bright, and fish belly was turning white on the horizon. Mrs. Su woke up and prepared to make breakfast for her family.
Wearing a black patched cotton coat, as usual, he went to the cellar to get food.
I was tired of eating steamed buns and sweet potato pancakes for days, so I planted onion seedlings two days ago.
Today you can make egg and scallion pancakes and some porridge with radish and pickles. It will be very delicious.
After eating eggs for two days in a row, the children at home are tired of eating them.
Now that the conditions at home are good, there is no reason for the children to continue to have to eat dross and pickles.
After frying two pots of green onion and egg pancakes, the old lady adjusted the chili peppers and walked into the house carrying the dustpan with the egg pancakes.
When I walked to the main room and half-stepped through the threshold, I saw the kapok tree growing in the house. It was just a young seedling last night.
At this moment, the trees were full of cotton fruits, which had exploded, and the ground was covered with cotton, all white.
Another surprising incident occurred. The old lady didn't care so much and called her two daughters-in-law up to pick them up together.
"Mom, I can't be in a dream, why am I so dizzy?"
"I'm not dreaming, no, just touch the porridge bowl, it's hot."
Chen Juhua also rubbed her eyes to avoid hallucinations. The cotton was light and warm in her hands.
"Mom, this time I believe your words.
God really gives us whatever we need. The saplings that were only a little tall yesterday have grown so big overnight. "
"Fortunately, the house was not damaged."
Mrs. Su clasped her hands together and said, "Thank God and all the immortals for blessing our family..."
The three of them knelt down in front of the kapok tree, and woke up directly to Su Hanlin.
She is now a mortal body, and a mortal would lose her life by kneeling down.
Fortunately, it only takes half a moment.
Mrs. Su told her two sisters-in-law to keep their mouths shut. Even the children at home could not let them know about this matter.
As long as they know.
This much cotton is enough to make New Year clothes for everyone in the family, and the extra can be used to make an extra pair of cotton shoes for the children.
After cleaning up, I was in a good mood and called my family for dinner.
"Mom, the third child didn't come back yesterday." After dinner, Boss Su mentioned.
I just said it after the meal because I didn’t want to upset everyone’s appetite.
"If you don't come back, you won't come back. If we lose one person to eat, we will have more food left." Old Man Su took a puff of cigarette calmly.
"You smoke less, it's not good for your health." Mrs. Su gave a lesson.
It came in a blink of an eye. The night before New Year's Eve, the old lady and her three wives drove out all the children's new clothes, including cotton-padded clothes, trousers and cotton-padded shoes. The children were very happy to get them.
Su Hanlin also has a new bedding, which Mrs. Su specially made for Su Hanlin.
Every time Mrs. Su sees her little granddaughter's eyes, she feels that this granddaughter is not simple...
How can a baby have such energetic eyes and smile at you?
Su Hanlin didn't admit it, she was just a baby.
I got up early in the morning and did a lot of cleaning. The adults cleaned the house and put up Spring Festival couplets, but nothing was left behind.
The children took a bath in the sun at half noon. There was no wind at noon and it was warm.
The house was kept spotless and everything was in its place.
The atmosphere of the New Year in the village is particularly strong, and Su Hanlin can also feel it.
At night, Mrs. Su was surrounded by children, but she still felt lonely.
The three sisters-in-law all knew that the old lady missed the fifth and sixth children.
The fifth child joined the army, and the sixth child joined the medical rescue team. Both of them contributed to the country, which made the old Su family very proud. However, Mrs. Su, a mother, always thought about the two people who were far away from home. child.
The children dispersed.
There were only adults left in the room, "The fifth and sixth children didn't send any letters to home. I'm afraid they won't come back this year, right?"
"I haven't been back for a year or two, and I'm afraid I won't be back this year." Mrs. Su sighed with a melancholy look on her face.
Old man Su banged his pipe and kept silent. The couple were thinking about them.
The old couple were a little silent, the atmosphere in the air was a little indifferent, and the remaining few people did not dare to speak.
"Old man, it seems that this fifth child hasn't been home for two years, right?"
"Well, the sixth child hasn't been back for more than two years. I haven't even sent a letter back since I left..."
It was Boss Su who said, "Mom, this doesn't mean there is no news, but it is the best news.
Lao Wu and Lao Liu may be busy now. I don’t have time to reply to you. Maybe I’ll come back with good news later. "
"Hey, I don't care about anything else. I just hope that your fifth brother and sixth sister can come back safely, and that's enough for me.
Old man, I'm still feeling uneasy, tell me, will they..." Mrs. Su hesitated.
After all, it's very chaotic outside now and it's not peaceful.
"It's okay, don't worry. The two children have their own destiny.
Didn’t the fortune teller also say that the two of them are destined to be rich and powerful, so it’s not that easy..."
But I really can’t explain this fate thing.
It's all decided by God.
When the time comes, you will know.
Forget the New Year, every few months, Lao Wu and Lao Liu would send letters back, along with allowances and green coats and kettles from their workplaces.
But starting from last year, the letters stopped, and suddenly there was no news. They sent letters but did not receive a reply.
They all know that it is not easy for the two children to work, and they do not want to cause trouble to them. They just think that the children are busy at work and have no time to go home.
Two years have passed in a blink of an eye. Mrs. Su held on and used reasons to fool herself so as not to think too much.
The fifth child is a boy. Ma Daha can understand it at all. Even the old lady is still worried...
But Sixth Brother, why didn’t I believe him anymore?
The old lady was so worried that the hair on her head turned a lot whiter.
Old man Su is also a person with a dull personality and doesn't like to express himself.
The matter of the two brothers and sisters was rarely mentioned in the Su family, for fear of hurting the two elders.
At this moment, Old Man Su lit his pipe and smoked one after another, and the room was filled with mist.
"Okay, let's not think so much and celebrate the New Year in peace and contentment.
As long as the child does not believe in one day, it means that he is safe outside. Stop thinking about it, it's getting late, you all should go back to sleep. "Old man Su was still the backbone and said something.
Mrs. Su seemed to have received a shot of cardiotonic, "Let's all go to sleep."
The old man Su Guolin, who was far away in the mountains, was crawling forward, chasing the escapees.
I don’t know why, but the other party chose to hide in the mountains and plunged into the Changbai Mountains.
It was freezing cold. He had been following her for half a year, and he was almost turning into a savage.
In order to spy on each other, they must spy on each other all the time.
The other party is very cunning. If he is not careful, he will disappear.
Never leave at all.
A group of five people took turns taking turns. They had not set foot on Changbai Mountain in the past six months.
I no longer knew it was the year of the monkey and the month of the horse outside.
Su Anxin's support for medical assistance has been unstable recently, and she often encounters people fighting.
There were many injured people. Those who wanted to go home, but suddenly there was a friction, so they could only stay in the local area and ask for help from the local old, weak, sick and disabled.
The transportation routes are unstable, and they change places from time to time. The contact with their families has been cut off for a long time, and they can't even send a letter to their families.
She just hopes that her family will be safe and healthy, and that her parents will be in good health.
