Chapter 4. Accidents
Su Yao returned home with high spirits. In the yard, Zhuang Xiaoli was still busy.

Feeling a little sorry, Su Yao took the initiative to ask: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Zhuang Xiaoli didn't speak when she heard the words, instead she looked up at the sky, the sun had already risen to the top of her head, it hurt her eyes from the dazzle, and she couldn't remember where the sun rose from for a moment.

Looking back, Zhuang Xiaoli flicked the water beads from her hands, raised her head halfway, and said in a charity tone, "I'll wash these potatoes for you."

What Zhuang Xiaoli said is that a pot is full. Rural people do hard work. They use a lot of energy and eat a lot. This pot is the amount of a meal.

Su Yao twitched the corners of her mouth, and walked into the room without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhuang Xiaoli said disdainfully: "Hmph, I knew you were not suitable for work, so I scared you away with just a pot of potatoes. Thanks to the busy farming season recently, if you have free time, the old hag at home will have to beat you by the head."

"They are all daughters-in-law of the family. Why do I have such a hard life? My mother-in-law doesn't know how to love others. The man is a wimp and a lazy man of the family. This is treating me like a maid."

The more she talked, the more angry Zhuang Xiaoli looked at Su Yao who stepped into the door, and couldn't help venting: "You are all daughters-in-law who marry in, so you are delicate? Let you wash the potatoes once, and I will show you face. I cook for this big family every day, did I say something? Today’s job is yours, if you can’t finish washing, the whole family will have nothing to eat at noon.”

Su Yao paused when she entered the door, turned her head to look at Zhuang Xiaoli, and replied blankly: "I just go back and change into old clothes, what are you thinking!"

Zhuang Xiaoli's venting was like punching cotton with a fist, her anger was blocked in her throat, unable to come out or swallow it down.

I can only continue to find fault: "Fake cleanliness, who cares so much about cooking, and wants to make excuses for being lazy, you are the one."

Su Yao pretended not to hear, and stepped into the room.

When he came out again, he had already put on a dark coat, picked potatoes from Zhuang Xiaoli's feet, and started working in another position.

Su Yao who didn't speak made Zhuang Xiaoli have nowhere to vent, cursed secretly, and went into the kitchen.

The potatoes in the basin were grown by myself, and there were still mud lumps on the door. After washing it once, the mud lumps sank in the water, and the bottom of the basin was so cloudy that I had to change the water and do it again.

Su Yao tried it, but the basin was so heavy that he couldn't even lift it up, so 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 calm, she was just a wall away, she didn't make a sound until Su Yao took the slop bucket and poured out the dirty water in batches, then she stood up and said, "I'll let you work I feel uneasy, and I have to ask someone to help me pour water. When I was alone, I had to do everything by myself, and I didn’t ask anyone to help me.”

It was the first time for Su Yao to be so aggrieved. He took the initiative to help out his anger, and threw away the wooden ladle in his hand: "Calling you sister-in-law is to respect you, not to be afraid of you. I call you for help. Did you help? If you didn’t help, where do you get the right to speak?”

"I see that you are working too hard and your conscience can't bear it, so you offered to help, not begging you to do work for me. Since you are so picky, I won't do it today."

It's rare for someone to help with the work. Zhuang Xiaoli was resting in the kitchen just now, and she was a little anxious when she heard this: "If you dare to pick someone up, everyone will have nothing to eat at noon today. I'd like to see, you new daughter-in-law How can I stand firm in this family in the future?"

Su Yao sneered: "Zhuang Xiaoli, who in this family doesn't know that I, Su Yaomei, are lazy, have been in the door for three days, have I touched once? If I don't do anything today, what can they do to me? Eat and sleep, who will say anything?"

"It's you. Cooking is your job. If you don't know how to cook this meal, you have to figure out how to bear the anger of the whole family."

Bare feet are not afraid to wear shoes.

With Su Yaomei's people in front, no matter how much Su Yao does, the whole family will not take it seriously.

Su Yao told the truth, Zhuang Xiaoli had no words to refute, so she could only lower her posture and give Su Yao a soft look: "I was wrong just now, I shouldn't pick on you, it's getting late today, I want to have a hot meal for my family , you should do something for me."

Su Yao couldn't help but look at Zhuang Xiaoli a few more times, she can be considered a character if she is so flexible.

Su Yao was silent, thinking in her heart.I probably won't be able to leave this house for a while, and in order to have a full meal in the future, I can no longer sit around like the original body.

Zhuang Xiaoli had already set up the ladder, Su Yao didn't hold back, and went back to clean the potatoes quietly.

In a quarter of an hour, Su Yao finished the work, took the basin into the kitchen, and cut it neatly into hob pieces.

After finishing the work in hand, Su Yao looked at the kitchen and consciously packed up the firewood.

Zhuang Xiaoli was not polite either, and handed over the work of lighting the fire to Su Yao.

The last time Su Yao watched making a fire was a scene from a TV series, now she looked at the handful of hay, a few sticks and a small half box of matches, and was stunned.

"You can't even start a fire, right?" Zhuang Xiaoli was busy adding water to the pot, and when she raised her eyes to see Su Yao in a daze, she couldn't help but said.

Su Yao, who has never eaten pork, has seen pigs run, and is determined to be strong all her life, will not let herself admit defeat at this time, and said stubbornly: "Who can't do this kind of trivial matter."

After opening the match, he took out a match, struck it from the side, and threw it directly into the fire when the fire was lit.

The faint flames were fleeting, making Su Yao's head black.

Glancing at it from the corner of the eye, seeing that Zhuang Xiaoli didn't pay attention to her movement, he breathed a sigh of relief and started the second attempt.

The half box of matches soon bottomed out after using it. Su Yao finally lit the fire after burning his hands for many times. The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the fire in the fire became more and more prosperous, and a smile appeared on Su Yao's face. meaning.

Su Yao, who kept fanning the fire, didn't notice at all that an unfinished piece of wood fell to the ground in the corner of the stove, and the scarlet fire head ignited the dry grass below.

"It's on fire", Zhuang Xiaoli was working hard, and she caught a glimpse of the sparks next to Su Yao's legs from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Su Yao froze for a moment before realizing it.

"Water, water", Su Yao panicked, turned her head to look around, found the bucket, filled a scoop of cold water directly, and rushed towards the fire.

The fire was not big at all, and there was still some distance from the other firewood. After three ladles of water were put into the ground, the fire was extinguished.

Su Yao was relieved, sat back on the bench and breathed a sigh of relief, looked down and saw a big hole in his trouser leg that was burned out at some point, and a piece of skin was burned inside, it was hot and painful.

With a sore nose and red eyes, Su Yao couldn't help crying when he thought of his current situation.
