Chapter 51
The house to be built by the Su family was designed by Su Yu to be small, similar to a courtyard house in Beijing. Su Yu felt that there were not many people in her family now. When the time came, her parents would live in the main house, and she and her eldest brother would live in the wing rooms on the left and right sides. The backyard would need to be bigger. It's best to build a few houses. At the rate her family is going, it won't be long before someone buys it. The house still needs to be prepared first. She can't have her family do everything. She has a lot of housework, which will be very tiring. , isn’t making money just for enjoyment?

Now that the New Year is getting closer and closer, the weather is getting colder and colder. Although it doesn't snow much in the winter in Xingyang Mansion, the wind blows on the face like a knife, causing pain.Su Yu was afraid of the cold, so now she tried not to go out as much as possible.In order to kill the boring time, I went to the town study to buy a few miscellaneous books. When I wanted to go out, I would go out to train Erhu. If I didn't want to go out, I would hide in my room and read.

When building the house, Su Yu persuaded Lian's family to do the cooking work directly on the grounds that she was busy at home, and Yang Ermei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law paid [-] Wen a day for each person, and Su's second son went to the town to buy the food. The family was already narrow, so the cooking was done directly at Yang Ermei's house, and Su Yu added another ten Wen, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could earn fifty Wen a day at Su's house, which was already a high salary in the village. The first one aroused the envy of many women in the village, who were annoyed why the Su family didn't build a house next to their own, so that their own could also enjoy some glory.

Su Yu is in a good mood today, remembering the ducks he promised Yu Zheng, and asked his father to kill four of them. The simple oven used to try roast ducks is still there, and he will roast the ducks when he is ready.Soon the smell of the duck wafted out, and the people who were working were not in the mood to do it after smelling the smell.

After the ducks were roasted, Su Yu took two and put them in a basket with oil paper, and asked Lian to take the remaining two to Yang Ermei's house to add vegetables to the villagers who were working.

"Yu'er, where are you going?"

Seeing that Su Yu was going out with two ducks, Lian asked curiously.My daughter didn't play well with anyone in the village, so where would I go out with two roasted ducks?

"Mom, I met someone a few days ago, the master-servant pair that our family met on the road. They are from Yujia Village. In order to thank them, I plan to roast two ducks and send them over to thank them."

"You kid, why didn't I hear you talk about such a big thing? He was a great benefactor to our family. If we hadn't met these two people on the road that time, we don't know what our family would be in now. With two ducks That’s enough, just wait, Mom will catch a chicken for you and bring it to you.”

If it weren't for the fear that her daughter wouldn't be able to carry it, Mrs. Lian would have wanted to take two more.

"Ask your father to accompany you."

Lian felt that although her daughter was capable, if a girl came to her house, it would make people look dishonest.

"Mother, he is not a few years older than me, and there is no one else in his house, just two masters and servants, I can go by myself."

"That's it, then you send the things back, don't wait too long."

Although he knew that he was a benefactor of his family, but he didn't know the character of that person at all, so it's better to have less contact with him.But with the cleverness of my daughter, if that person is wrong, she won't send the roasted duck to her now.

"I know mother."

Lian's was a little strange, and planned to ask Yang Ermei about it, why hadn't she heard of it, which one lived with only one person and a servant?
Previously, Su Yu knew about such a person from the children in the village, and she knew where his home was, so she went straight to the door.Seeing that the gate was closed outside the courtyard, Su Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door twice to open it from the inside.

Seeing a little girl standing at the door, Qinglin was taken aback, except for the village head, no one has come to the door for a long time.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Brother, I'm here to see your young master. I promised to give you two roast ducks. I specially roasted them for you today."

Why didn't he know when the young master asked someone to bring him roast duck?
"You wait, I'll go ask the young master first."

After a while, Qinglin turned back.

"My young master is inside, please, girl."

"Brother Lao, thanks to my help on the road last time, I haven't thanked my brother yet."

Qinglin now remembered who the little girl in front of her was.

"It's just a matter of fact, girl, you don't need to keep it in mind."

Su Yu is 11 years old, and only in front of her own family can she show the expression that a teenager should have. When facing outsiders, Su Yu's behavior is not like an 11-year-old child at all. People have a feeling of being young and mature.Qinglin felt that something was wrong, but couldn't remember it for a while.

Entering the yard, Su Yu found that the yard looked similar to most other houses in the village on the outside, but it was completely different on the inside. It’s not that it was very good, but it was much better than other houses in the village. Of course, it was different from those in the town. A big family is nothing compared to others.

Yu Zheng was still sitting under the grape trellis, but now it's winter, the grape vines are bare without even a single leaf.Su Yu looked at this scene, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in her heart.

Yu Zheng also looked at Su Yu now.

"This is the duck I promised to make for you. My mother caught the chicken specially for you. You keep the stew for drinking."

Seeing that his young master had no objection, Qinglin took the chicken and took it away.Su Yu took out the two roast ducks from the basket, and also brought a small plate of sweet noodle sauce and a small plate of shredded cucumbers and green onions. As for the noodles, I'm sorry, she didn't make them because she wasn't good at it.

Yu Zheng sat on the chair and just watched Su Yu busy. The little girl blushed so ugly that she felt a little disgusted.

Su Yu's skin is white with a sickly yellow, and her cheeks are flushed at the moment, which is really not good-looking, but the most attractive thing is her eyes.

"Ugly girl, it's been several days, why did you come here today?"

Su Yu didn't hear the following words, and focused all her attention on the words "ugly girl" in front, her eyes widened and she pointed at herself.

"You just said me??"

Yu Zheng looked to the left and right.

"There are others here."

Su Yu was so angry that she almost had a heart attack. Thinking that her family had indeed been favored by the person in front of her, she endured it and held back her anger.

Yu Zheng looked curiously, it was the first time he saw such colorful expressions on a person's face.

"Roast duck doesn't taste good when it's cold."

Su Yu was in a bad mood, and her words were stiff.

"How can I eat it? I'm just chewing it like this. Isn't the chef of Taihelou slicing the dough in front of me?"

Su Yu, I tolerate it.

"I didn't bring a knife when I came here."

"It's okay."

Yu Zheng took out a dagger from his boots and handed it over. Su Yu took it. It was a bit heavy in his hand. Looking at the cold light on it, he knew that the dagger was quite sharp.

In the future, it's better not to get involved with the person in front of her. To her, the person in front of her is a big trouble.

Su Yu was slicing the duck meat, thinking about leaving as soon as the slicing was finished.Yu Zheng was eating duck meat, thinking that this girl's cooking skills are really good, and the duck roasted in Taihelou is not as delicious as this girl's roasted duck.After eating, I ate a large plate of duck meat without realizing it, and my stomach was already full when I realized it.

Qinglin standing beside him was very relieved, he couldn't remember how long it had been since his master had a good meal.It seems that the master hasn't had a good meal since his wife passed away. Thinking of this, Qinglin's eyes dimmed.

"I delivered the duck, and the slices are ready, can I go now?"

"Well, don't come to my place if you have nothing to do in the future."

Su Yu had this plan in the first place, and it was just what she wanted to say. As for the reason behind it, she didn't want to delve into it, as it had nothing to do with her.
