Chapter 33 Where are the children?
Su Li was a little surprised not to see He Qingyao and his brothers standing at the intersection waiting for her. In the past, whenever she went out, the two brothers would stand at the intersection waiting for her. Why didn't they come this time?
Su Li felt a little strange, but after thinking about it, she thought it might be the child's three-minute enthusiasm. She used to come to wait for her, but now she felt bored and went to play by herself.
Pushing open the courtyard door, Su Li yelled towards the house.
"Dangdang~Look what I brought back for you!"
The room was silent without any echo.
Su Li searched all over the house, but still didn't find any of them.
This is very wrong!
She still understands the characters of the He Qingyao brothers. Although they are young, they are still very principled. She told them not to run around before going out, so they will definitely not run around!
Chen Xiang came back from the outside with a **** on her shoulder. She saw that Su Li seemed to be looking for something, so she stepped forward to ask.
"Big girl, what are you looking for?"
Su Li said: "I couldn't find Qingyao and Qingmu brothers when I came back from the street just now, and I don't know where they went. Sister-in-law, have you seen them?"
Chen Xiang was a little puzzled and said, "Qing Yao, Qing Mu?"
Why do these two names sound so familiar, she seems to have never heard of them before!
It was only then that Su Li remembered that no one knew about the name change of the brothers, so she explained to Chen Xiang: "He Qingyao and He Qingmu are the new names of Dahu and Erhu. The previous name was not very pleasant, so I named them the book title. , I will use it for school in the future!"
Chen Xiang nodded and said, "The name you chose is really nice."
"Don't look here anymore, I saw your mother-in-law take them back to the old house when I was working in the field!"
Why did Wang Chunhua bring the child back to the old house?
In the past, she wanted to let their family disappear before her eyes, but this time she took the initiative to take the child home?
Su Li thanked Chen Xiang: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll look for the child first, and I'll look for you at your house in the evening."
Chen Xiang looked at Su Liyuan's back and smiled. It was her who should thank her. Last time she took the medicine Su Li gave her, her waist really got better. Now she can work in the field normally. It hurt her to death.
Su Li walked quickly towards the old house of the He family, she was afraid that He Qingyao and his brothers would be abused by that old witch Wang Chunhua.
According to the original owner's memory, Su Li came to the door of the old He's house, looking at the brick house in front of her, Su Li almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.
This brick and tile house is all thanks to He Yufeng. When the news came that He Yufeng died in battle, the imperial court made up a sum of money for the old He family, and that money went directly into Wang Chunhua's pocket. Feng came back alive, but Wang Chunhua didn't say a word about the money, and even built this brick house after the separation.
Speaking of the fact that He Yufeng went to the front to fight, it can be said to be a big gossip point in the village.
The front line is tight, and the court sent people down to recruit soldiers, but going to the front line is tantamount to death, and no one wants to send their children to death.
But the imperial court was not so easy to talk to. They issued an order that every household needs to produce a male who meets the age.
Fifty taels of silver is an astronomical figure for an ordinary family. They are reluctant to part with their children, but they also have no money. The atmosphere in various places is not right for a while, and they dare not even breathe hard.
There are four children in the family, and she has already made up her mind on who to send out. The children are growing up, eating well and having to marry a wife in the future. Sending them out now can save a lot of food. If they die, forget it. If they can make meritorious service on the battlefield Then their family can also enjoy happiness.
Although Wang Chunhua had already made a decision in her heart, she couldn't tell the matter directly. In order not to be poked in the back, she came up with a fair idea, which was to draw lots.
The four He family brothers had no objection to this time. In the end, He Yufeng went, because Wang Chunhua tampered with it, and all the papers had He Yufeng's name on it. If he didn't go, it would be a ghost .
Su Li pushed open the door of the old He's house, and the dog lying under the eaves bared its teeth at Su Li.
"Shut your mouth, or I'll take you to a hot pot tonight." The dog seemed to sense the terrifying aura on Su Li, and hid in the corner, not daring to make a sound.
Sister-in-law Zhao came out of the house with a bowl of pig food, and when she saw Su Li standing in the yard, she opened her mouth with a bit of acrimony.
"Oh, what a rare visitor! Why did the third sibling come here today?"
Su Li glanced at Mrs. Zhao: "Where's the child?"
Zhao's eyes flickered: "What child?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me, did you bring the child here today while we were not at home?"
Su Li also stopped talking nonsense with Mrs. Zhao, and started looking for the He Qingyao brothers at home, but she searched the house inside and out, but she still couldn't find them.
"Where's the person?" Su Li looked at Zhao Shi coldly and asked.
Zhao continued to pretend to be stupid: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
"Don't tell me, right?" Su Li squeezed Zhao Shi's chin, "Sister-in-law, you know that I've always been a bit rude, if I carefully remove your chin in one step, you should still be alive by then Bar?"
"Let go, let go!" Zhao Shi struggled hard, and even scratched Su Li's hand with his fingernails, but Su Li didn't care, and squeezed Zhao Shi's chin.
Su Li said coldly: "I'll ask you one last time, if you don't say it again, I'll just take your jaw off."
Mrs. Zhao was a little frightened when she saw Su Li's fierceness, and pointed in a direction casually.
"They are picking **** for mother!"
Picking shit? Since Wang Chunhua asked a three-year-old to pick **** for her!
Su Li snorted, and shook off Zhao Shi's chin.
"Oops, dying, dying!"
Su Li walked towards the place Mrs. Zhao pointed to. That place was the vegetable garden of the old He's family. It was located a certain distance from the old He's house. She didn't pass by there when she came here just now, so she didn't see the two children. .
The brothers He Qingyao and He Qingmu were walking towards the vegetable garden with difficulty, each carrying a bucket of feces.
Wang Chunhua originally planned to let them pick it, but found that they were not tall enough, so she changed it to a bucket. Although it was difficult for the brothers to carry a bucket of feces, what did it have to do with her? As long as it serves her purpose.
"Brother, I'm so tired!" He Qingmu put the bucket on the ground, and began to pant while standing.
He Qingyao said: "Let's rest for a while!"
Wang Chunhua saw them stop, and couldn't help cursing: "What did you stop for? Hurry up and take the excrement to the vegetable garden to fertilize. Do you want me to beat you?"
