Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 24

There were more than ten tables in the yard, and there were five or six tables in the house. Everyone had a lively housewarming meal, and it was not until mid-afternoon that they all left.Su Zhang's family followed Su Jingsen and sent the members of the Zhang family to the entrance of the village, and then reluctantly turned back.

Grandpa Su and Grandma Su have already gone back, leaving only Mrs. Su Li and Mrs. Su Song to help Mrs. Su clean up the yard and the cups and plates. Su Qinghe follows Mrs. Zhang, listening to Mrs. Su He said softly: "Fourth sibling, just now our mother told us to go to the old courtyard."

Mrs. Su Song also came over: "I see that something is wrong with our eldest sister today. When she first entered the door, her eye circles were still a little red. Also, the eldest sister didn't bring Lixia here today. Could it be Lixia?" What happened to Xia?"

Mrs. Su Zhang frowned, paused for a while and shook her head, and said, "I don't know. I'll find out later if I go over and have a look? By the way, did my mother let the men pass? Jingsen is still in the yard right now. clearing the table."

"Give it up, your elder brother and second elder brother have already passed." Su Li nodded and said, Su Zhang immediately turned her head and shouted outside, telling Su Jingsen to go directly to the old courtyard.Su Qinghe checked that there was no place for her to stand in the kitchen, and simply followed Su Jingsen.

When they arrived at the old courtyard, Su Qinghe immediately noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.The eldest uncle and the second uncle both looked angry, and the two cousins ​​and one cousin were also talking angrily.

When Su Jingsen approached, Grandma Su immediately stood up and said, "Xiaohe is here too? Your aunt brought you delicious food today, can you go and eat with your fourth sister? Candy pancakes, sweet and delicious It's delicious."

Su Qinghe knew that this was a common trick used by adults to coax children away, but she had no choice but to object, so she took the small paper bag that Grandma Su had stuffed in, and went out to look for Su Qinglan with a smile.

"Fourth sister, I heard from my aunt and aunt that there is something wrong with my aunt, do you know what it is?" Since Su Qinglan still lives in the old courtyard, she probably knew some gossip, so Su Qinghe whispered inquired.

Su Qinglan looked outside, pinched a sugar cake, took two bites before nodding and said: "Yes, our sister Lixia has gone somewhere, and she is nowhere to be seen."

"Sister Lixia is gone?" Su Qinghe was taken aback. Li Lixia was married a few years ago, and now she has a child. Although she is a girl, her husband's family values ​​her, and her daily life is pretty good. Yes, why did it disappear?
"Well, I heard grandma scold Brother Jianye." Su Qinglan said in a low voice, Jianye is Li Lixia's husband-in-law.

"Why? Did Brother Jianye and Sister Lixia quarrel?" Su Qinghe blinked her eyes innocently and asked suspiciously. Su Qinglan curled her lips and shook her head: "No, I heard from my aunt that it was Jianye Brother and a little widow from their village."

As she said that, Su Qinglan was a little puzzled: "However, I didn't hear my aunt say what happened to them. Xiaohe, tell me, did the two of them do something bad together, and then sister Lixia became very angry?"

Su Qinghe has opened her mouth wide and doesn't know what to say. She has seen that brother Jianye herself, and he looks upright, so why did she have sex with a little widow?The most important thing is that my sister, Lixia, is a well-known beauty in ten miles and eight villages.

I don't know whether it is Aunt Su's genes or Uncle Su's genes. The four daughters in their family are all beautiful.Among them, Sister Lixia is the most beautiful, tall and slender, with clear eyebrows, and she speaks and does things briskly, just like a red pepper.

In the farm family, such a daughter-in-law is very popular.

Moreover, Sister Lixia has already given birth to a daughter. It doesn't mean that she can't have a child. How could Brother Jianye cheat?

"No! If you don't beat him up, he will still think that our old Su family has no one left!" Su Qinghe was startled, when she heard an angry shout from the next room. It was the second uncle's voice, and then the eldest uncle was a little ambiguous. He said: "The lesson must be taught, but now we have to find Lixia, a young daughter-in-law, where can she go? Sister, have you looked for all the relatives in the Li family?"

Su Qinghe rolled her eyes, pulled Su Qinglan around the main room, went to the back of the room, and then leaned against the wall to listen carefully.There is a small transom on the back wall, so the sound is clearer from this side.

"I've looked for it, but I came back to tell you when I couldn't find it." Aunt Su said with a choked voice, and Grandma Su took Aunt Su's hand and scolded: "You guys are really serious, she doesn't want to go back, so don't let her go back, you have to let her go back." She's gone, it's good now, she's really gone!"

Uncle Su said angrily on the side: "Who would have thought that she would be so angry, the Wang family also came to apologize, and Jianye also said that it would be changed in the future, the child is not yet three years old, crying and calling mother, can we What's the matter? Let her reconcile?"

Grandpa Su frowned, and said firmly: "It's impossible to get along with Li. Now that Yan Yan is not married, she and Li can live in her mother's house. When Yan Yan gets married, can she still live in her mother's house forever? Yan Yan is willing, and neither is Yan Yan's daughter-in-law. .”

The eldest aunt of the Su family cried and said: "Father, I also said that it is the same reason. Brothers can't take care of her for the rest of her life. She will have to rely on children in the future. Besides, Niu Niu is only three years old, and she has to leave her mother. Don't you have to follow the mother?"

"Sister, don't cry, let's talk about Jianye and Lixia now, we have to find Lixia first. When did Lixia disappear?" Su Jingsen interjected and asked, Lixia is a young daughter-in-law , if it is true that he does not go home for a few days and nights, then there is no need to talk about reconciliation, the Wang family probably wants to send a letter of divorce.

When he said this, everyone also reflected it. Uncle Su quickly said: "I have searched at my house, but she hasn't been there, and now she is not with you, where else can she go?"

"Didn't Lixia work in an embroidery workshop? At that time, did she know a little girl and a daughter-in-law from a neighboring village?" Mrs. Su Li and the other three sisters-in-law just entered the door, and after listening to the back, they hurriedly said: " Eldest sister, do you know who she is close to?"

"Speaking of which, she had a good relationship with Chunni in our village back then. Chunni got married last year and moved to Stone Village. Will she go to Stone Village?" Aunt Su hurriedly said, and Uncle Su had already stood up. : "I'll go and see, I'll drive the ox cart, and I'll definitely be there before night."

"Brother-in-law, it's faster to go directly over the mountain without a bullock cart." Su Jingsen hurriedly stopped her, then turned to look at Aunt Su: "Sister, besides Chunni, is there anyone else?"

"Yes, yes, but some are in the town, and some are married elsewhere." Aunt Su said two names in succession. One married to Dali Village, the other married to Beiguo Village, and the town didn't know. For those who are married or not, a total of four locations are given.

Uncle Su calmly ordered: "Let's search separately. We must find Lixia before tomorrow morning. Father, you are old, so you can wait for the news at home. The eldest brother-in-law, Xiao Lizhuang, is next to Dalizhuang. You can go there." Feeling the way, the fourth brother went to Shitou village, I went to Beiguo village, the second brother went to the town, and went to the embroidery workshop to inquire about the news. Third brother, if you go to Wangzhuang to inquire, you must ask in private, but you can’t ask too much Obvious."

Su Jinglin was a little unhappy: "Brother, you and the fourth brother both have bullock carts, so why don't you want me and the second brother to walk there?"

Su Jingshu said: "I'll borrow an ox cart from someone else's house, third brother, you can go there with our father's ox cart."

Only then did Su Jinglin agree, followed Su Jingqing out, and went to pull the ox cart by herself.Aunt Su insisted on leaving with Uncle Su, but she couldn't find Li Lixia, she felt uneasy, so she followed, whether it was good or bad, she could know first, so she could plan something for her daughter.

Su Zhang and others stayed with Grandma Su, and Su Qinghe dragged Su Qinglan back from the backyard: "Fourth Sister, you can't tell anyone about what we eavesdropped on, otherwise, Grandpa and Grandma will get angry."

Su Qinglan was at least a few years older than Su Qinghe, so she knew it was not good to eavesdrop on such things, so she hurriedly nodded and said, "I won't tell, Xiaohe, tell me, where will Sister Lixia go?"

"I don't know. I'm sure we'll find Sister Lixia when Uncle and the others come back." Su Qinghe sighed. It would be fine if Sister Lixia had a place to go, but I'm afraid she might meet bad guys along the way, even though in this day and age The chances are small, but not impossible.

Especially for such a young and beautiful daughter-in-law, who looks like a bait to attract people's attention.Even in modern times, Su Qinghe heard a lot about someone's young daughter-in-law who was dragged into the cornfield when she passed by.

Although there is no corn at the moment, there are sorghums that are about as tall as corn stalks.If it was really dragged into the ground, it would be a terrible thing.

Su Zhiping and Su Zhian were looking for something, Su Qinghe was sitting on the threshold and sighing, Su Zhian pulled her pigtails: "Little sister, why are you so unhappy? Are you unhappy living in a new house?"

"No." Su Qinghe pouted, and told Su Zhiping and Su Zhian what she overheard just now. Of course, she still had to vaguely adapt what should be adapted: "I'm worried about Sister Lixia."

The three brothers and sisters were all a little melancholy, and after a moment of silence, Su Zhiping pulled Su Qinghe up: "Go home first, Mom and Dad are probably coming back later tonight, let's go back and practice calligraphy and read books."

Su Qinghe thought about it, and she really couldn't do anything, so she could only follow Su Zhiping and Su Zhian home.Not long after arriving home, I heard Yang Zi's voice outside the door: "Zhi An, are you at home?"

Su Zhian hurried out, and brought someone in after a while, Yang Zi rubbed Su Qinghe's head with a smile, and put down the book in his hand: "I told my parents to come to read books with you, Zhiping, you are now learning Where have you been?"

Su Qinghe glanced at the book Yang Zi brought, Analects of Confucius.Looking at the books of my two older brothers, the Three Character Classic, one is about to graduate from elementary school, and the other has just started elementary school. The gap is not so small.

"Xiao He, I brought you candy, do you want to eat it or not?" Su Qinghe was holding a branch and pulling it on the sand table, when she heard Yang Zi say, and then came to her eyes with two candies in one hand.Su Qinghe quickly took it over, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, brother Yang Zi."
