“Put the ginger on the kitchen table.” Qingyue went into the kitchen first, and Aunt Zhang put the ginger on the table, then handed her a cloth bag of flour.
Su Qingyue weighed it, “Aunt Zhang, it seems your flour is more than three jin,
I think it’s about three and a half.”
“Oh my, the wife of the Xiao Family, your eyesight is so accurate.” Aunt Zhang was surprised, “It is indeed three and a half jin. The extra half-jin is my gift to you.”
“Half a jin of flour is just three cents and a half, it’s not much. I know you have your pride, but just accept my little kindness.”
“It’s getting late, poor thing, you haven’t eaten dinner yet. Hurry up and cook.”
“You just came back from the field to bring me ginger, you must not have eaten either. Why don’t you stay and have dinner with us?”
“No, no.” Aunt Zhang knew the Xiao Family had sold all their belongings for money, and they hardly had enough to eat themselves, she couldn’t impose. Aunt Zhang waved her hand, picked up her empty basket and was about to leave when Su Qingyue remembered something, “Aunt Zhang, do you have a back basket at home? I want to borrow it tomorrow.”
“We do have two at home, and one of them can be spared. Come to my house tomorrow morning to pick it up.”
“You’re welcome.” Aunt Zhang headed to the yard, and Su Qingyue wanted to see her off, but she quickly said, “No need to see me off.” Then she waved goodbye to the Xiao Family’s brothers and left.
Su Qingyue went back to the kitchen, thinking of Aunt Zhang’s kindness, and her heart was filled with gratitude.
The second and third brothers had big appetites; the steamed buns sold in town were big and full, so one jin of flour could make about ten buns. They could be full with ten buns each, and she and Fourth Brother could share the half-jin.
She walked to the water jar to scoop out water, only to realize that the jar was nearly empty.
She had never worried about running out of water before, as her second or third brother would always fill the water jar early in the morning.
It was already nightfall, she was too lazy to go out and fetch water, she could barely make some dough, and would fetch more water tomorrow morning…
“Wife!” Xiao Yuchuan’s voice came out of the master bedroom, elongated and high-pitched.
“What’s the matter?” She also raised her voice to reply.
“Wife, save me!” Xiao Yuchuan’s voice was trembling with urgency.
She rushed over and saw that Xiao Yuchuan was sitting on the bed just fine, with his back against the wall, and the second brother was lying down with no problems. She angrily said, “You’re both fine, what saving do you need!” Xiao Yuchuan’s handsome face was flushed red, “Wife, that… that…
“Just say it if you have something to say!”
The stench spread, and Su Qingyue couldn’t help but cover her nose and furiously waved her hand, “You bastard, you really farted!”
“It’s not fair, it wasn’t me who farted, it was the second brother.” He looked wronged.
Su Qingyue looked over at Xiao Yishan on the bed, the room was very dark, but under the moonlight coming in from the window, she could barely see the embarrassed look on his face, “So it was the second brother who farted.” Xiao Yishan’s face turned beet red.
Su Oinzvue said understandinglv, “Second brother. vou iust let out a fart, there’s no need to feel embarrassed about it. Everyone needs to fart.”
“Wife, you’re biased. If Second Brother farts, it’s fine. But if I fart, I get scolded…” Xiao Yuchuan pouted.
“As long as you know.”
“You…” Xiao Yuchuan couldn’t even be angry, “Wife, please go to Fourth Brother’s room and bring me the toilet bucket, I need to take a dump…. I can’t hold it in any longer!”
