Chapter 18: The Unfeeling Second Uncle

After eating and drinking enough, Su Yun thought of the two uncles and aunts who lent him food the other day. He took two of each of the big white flour steamed buns, sesame cakes, fried buns, meat boxes and dumplings and gave them to the old couple to taste.

Hou Xiangyu was ready to review the materials for the college entrance examination before leaving work.

Maybe it was because she was too full to eat and felt uncomfortable when she bent over, so she used the quilt as a backrest and lay on the bed to read.

Su Yun has no right to laugh at others. He also eats with his mouth full of oil. He has to hold his waist when walking. So he really eats too much.

When they came to the village head's house, they had just finished their meal, and the second aunt was collecting dishes and chopsticks.

Su Yun, with his mouth full of mutton soup, put the food on the table and said, "Uncle and Aunt, look what I can bring you!"

"I can see the delicious food, but I can smell the mutton soup in your mouth!"

"Why did you suddenly buy so many delicious food today?"

"I even drank mutton soup! I haven't drunk that for years!"

The village head was still unable to see Su Yunding, and he did not take any polite harsh criticism, as if he had made some mistakes.

"Don't you think Xiao Yun is doing well, old man?"

"Xiao Yun, although what your second uncle said is wrong, you can't spend so freely even if you have money! By the way, why are you suddenly rich again?"

Although Er Auntie said Er Uncle on the surface, the meaning in her words was the same as that of Er Uncle.

"My second sister remitted me a lot of money this time, so I went to the town to buy some delicious food."

"I don't want to think about the kindness of my uncle and aunt, so I will bring them to you to try something new."

"It's OK for Second Uncle to drink mutton soup. It's up to me."

After Su Yun explained the source of the money again, he started to take care of everything.

"It's better than what you've given me. Two dollars are going up in the sky!"

Hearing that Su Yun didn't steal or rob the money, his second sister remitted it to him. In addition, he also bought mutton soup. Even the village head, who has always kept a straight face, smiled and scolded.

"Don't listen to the old man. He is so old. It's a waste to give him mutton soup."

"Xiao Yun, we should praise when we are rich. You have just got married. Your daughter-in-law will be pregnant and have a baby later. There are still many places to spend money!"

The second aunt was in charge of the whole family's affairs. Of course, knowing how hard the couple lived, she couldn't help but persuade them.

"What are you talking about, old lady? I'm exhausted. It's a waste to drink mutton soup!"

Su Yun didn't say anything, but the village head quarreled first because of the mutton soup.

"I'm the one who takes care of the whole family all day long. I'm the one who works hard, ok? You are the one who acts domineering outside..."

Su Yun saw the old couple saying that there was a trend of escalation, so he quickly persuaded them.

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, I was wrong. I shouldn't invite Second Uncle to have mutton soup alone. I should also include Second Aunt who has worked hard and achieved great success."

"Xiao Yun, that's not what you mean. I'm used to bickering with your uncle, not because of your mutton soup."

A bowl of mutton soup can cost more than a few cents. Afraid of Su Yun's misunderstanding, the second aunt quickly explained.

"Auntie, you don't need to explain. Although I don't have much money, I can afford two bowls of mutton soup."

After another conversation, Su Yun left.

While sighing for her shrewdness and strength, she felt sorry for her uncle.

After returning home and having a rest, Hou Xiangyu and Su Yun went out of the house together when it was almost time to leave.

Su Yun is going to the village brigade office.

Hou Xiangyu went to the fields to do farm work.

In this 30 degree high temperature weather, even if you wear a straw hat to cover the hot sun above your head, you will inevitably sweat.

Su Yun felt distressed when he thought about Hou Xiangyu, a weak woman.

Even though she may be a fighter plane among weak women, the fact that she is a girl cannot be changed.

Thinking that he had already received the contribution fee and could not worry about eating later, Su Yun felt that it was time to ask Hou Xiangyu for leave.

Upon arriving at the yard where the village brigade office is located, Su Yun saw the village head squatting at the door of the office, smoking dry cigarettes with a pipe and pot.

"Second Uncle, why are you here so early today?"

"It's not because you're a wimp. Your aunt kicked me out of the meat box when she ate it carelessly."

"Ha ha! Second aunt is also true. I sent it to you just for you to eat!"

Su Yunxiao said insincerely.

"Boy, if you have any delicious food in the future, take it to the village brigade and give it to me. Do you know!"

"Mm-hmm."

Su Yun agreed happily, but he didn't think so.

I said to myself: You are the same old man today. I didn't see you start gently when you hit me before!

However, he will ask others for help later. Even if Su Yun will not do so in the future, he will not refute it to his face now.

"Second uncle, you see I'm not short of food and I have money now, so I want to ask you for help?"

"You just gave me a pile of food. You can't be waiting for me here!"

The old man took two puffs of dry tobacco. He felt that Su Yun must not hold his fart well, and his tone of voice became impolite.

"Second Uncle, who do you think I am?"

"In my most difficult time, it was you and my second aunt who lent me food to help me tide over the difficulties. Now that I have money, I can buy some delicious food to honor your two elders. That's my gratitude!"

"If you still think I am trying to figure something out for you, I will go to your house and get it back now."

Su Yun thought to himself: How can I get back what I have eaten? I can't spit it out!

The village head also obviously felt that his words were heavy.

"All right! I wronged you!"

"Come on, what can I do for you?"

"But let's first say that even if I accept your things, I can't do some things that should not be done!"

The village head has also experienced strong winds and waves. He was afraid that Su Yun would give something to say again, so he told Su Yun the scandal in advance.

Su Yun scolded an old man in his heart, then smiled and said:

"I am your nephew, and you are my second uncle. How can I embarrass you?"

"Don't get close, we are only distant relatives!"

"If you have something to say, I will go to the field for inspection later!"

Yes, I must be very happy when I ate the things he gave me. Now I turn around to ask him for help and look like we don't kiss each other. If it wasn't for this, he, the village head, would have nodded. Su Yun wanted to spit at him.

It took a change of breath to suppress the restlessness in his heart, which slowly revealed his ultimate goal.

"My daughter-in-law has one month and four days to go before the college entrance examination!"

"Now I work all day and have no time to review the college entrance examination materials. Anyway, my family is not short of food and money for the time being. I want to ask my daughter-in-law for more than a month's leave so that she can concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination at home."
