Doctor Guì Lady 039, Cherish Memories
Su Lian didn't recognize Su Feng's home, even though that courtyard should have held memories of her growing up.
The address was told by Da Hu, in a row of old houses, a particularly inconspicuous and even very dilapidated house, is the home of Su Jia Village's most "senior" old rascal - Su Feng.
Lianyi looked at this old house, but instead of feeling disgusted with Su Feng, the former hostility melted away bit by bit.
Thinking of my own newly built house and the complete household items, compared to this dilapidated house in front of me, I feel deeply moved.
The new house is naturally thanks to Su Hao's efforts, but as an older brother, he wouldn't directly take charge of the arrangements. It must have been Su Feng, being the father, who took care of all the troubles and details.
Everything is dedicated to his daughter, but his own home is shabby. Although Su Feng's character has problems, in treating his children, he is just an ordinary father.
The yard was not locked, and the crooked gate was pushed open. What came into view was a mess. To the right of the entrance was the usual kitchen, but that kitchen rarely had fires lit, the pot on the stove had rusted, and scattered on the ground were scattered firewood.
On the left side of the gate is a chicken coop, empty and idle, becoming an ornament.
The sun was high in the sky, and the two Su family members were still fast asleep. Lianyi called out softly a few times but received no response, so she pushed open the door and walked in.
At that moment, Su Lianwei had a feeling of entering her own home for the first time, and it was even worse than that! Because in this dark and humid room, there was not only the smell of garbage but also a strong smell of smoke. The windows were covered with a thick layer of dust, probably never opened for ventilation. Not to mention second-hand smoke, twenty hands of smoke would be more than enough.
The door was thrown wide open and the window was pushed open with force. When the light poured into the dark house, it was as if an ancient tomb had been opened.
Lianyi stood outside the door for a long time before she had the courage to enter. The room was dimly lit and no one noticed her at first, but now that there was light, she could see clearly. In the depths of the outer hall, there was an offering table with a spirit tablet standing on it - "The Spirit Tablet of My Beloved Wife Su Shi".
It was actually the memorial tablet of Ben Zun's mother.
A wave of sorrow and suffocation suddenly surged into her heart, as if the name on the tombstone was that of her own biological mother. Perhaps it was an instinctual reaction of this body that affected her emotions, her eyes reddened, and she couldn't shake off the sadness.
She took out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears. Since fate was like this, then she, Su Shi's mother, would also accept it.
When I was about to wipe the spirit tablet with a handkerchief, I suddenly discovered that although the house was dirty and messy, this offering table and plaque were spotless, with a faint scent of incense on the tip of my nose, it can be seen that someone often burns incense in memory. Who is it? Su Feng?
"Who's outside?" Su Bai's voice came from inside the house with a very heavy nasal tone, and it was clear that he had not yet gotten out of bed.
Wipe away the ripples of sadness, adjust your emotions. "Su Bai, look at what time it is now, still not getting out of bed, don't you know that a day's plan lies in the morning?" With a turn of her body, she had already transformed into a fierce tigress.
The sound in the west wing of the house paused, followed by a rolling and crawling sound. Su Bai, who was woken up by his own sister's shout, didn't dare to delay, jumped out of bed, picked up his clothes and started putting them on.
"Are you dressed?" Ripples followed the sound to the door of the west room.
"Not...not...wait a minute, sis." Su Bai quickened his pace of dressing, but with his plump body, how could he compare to a normal person? The more anxious he got, the slower he dressed.
Lianyi waited for a while, seeing that the person inside hadn't dressed yet. She kicked open the door with one foot. "Take your clothes and go outside to put them on. Just looking at this fat body of yours makes me annoyed." To Su Bai, she didn't have any good tone.
Su Bai cried with a sad face, barely put on her undergarment, and hugged the dirty outer garment in front of her chest. "Sister, you're not thin either."
Lianying gave him a sideways glance, "What makes you think I'm fat?"
Su Bai fixed her eyes and took a closer look, was the Su Lian Hui in front of her still the same as usual? Wearing a grass-green dress, although not considered slender but also proportionate, plus she originally had a tall and lean figure, at this moment absolutely did not have anything to do with the words "fat". "Sister, your illness is getting more and more severe." How did you become so thin?
I was so angry I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, I originally wanted to give him a kick, but then thought better of it, no time to bother with him. "Is this what you call normal body shape? You have obesity, not only does it look bad, but also affects your physical health... What are you staring at, hurry up and get out."
Su Bai didn't understand, but still hugged her clothes and obediently listened to her own sister's words and went out the door. "Sister, what are you doing in my room?"
"Clean up the pigpen." Lianyue didn't even turn her head back and started throwing the dirty clothes scattered on the ground out of the door.
"Pigpen?" Su Bai was taken aback, "Sister, we haven't raised pigs for many years."
Lianyi burst out laughing again, "That's right, since I've been raising you, I don't need to raise pigs anymore."
Su Bai suddenly realized, "Sister, are you scolding me as a pig?" He wasn't stupid, but he had never been on guard against his sister, and he hadn't even dreamed that she would scold him. Since childhood, he had grown up following his sister, admiring her just like a hero, and obeying her words.
"Consider yourself having self-awareness, move aside." Liang Liang hugged the quilt, waiting for Su Bai's chubby body to shift away. She went out of the house into the courtyard, picked up Su Bai's dirty clothes by hand, started wiping the clothesline, and hung the quilt on the line to sunbathe and kill bacteria.
"Su Bai, is there soap powder at home?" She wants to wash clothes.
Su Bai twisted and turned to put on her clothes. "No."
Lianyi pulled out dozens of copper coins from her bosom and handed them to Su Bai, "Go to the general store to buy some, get more, hurry up and come back quickly."
"Hey, sis, does the grocery store still take money? That shop owner Su Xiao Ba dares to accept our cash?" Su Bai had a smug look on her face, feeling pleased with herself.
Lianyi couldn't help but kick him hard, "That's someone else's business, you robbed the goods, do you want them to go bankrupt? Hurry up and pay for it, if you underpay by a single cent and I find out, just wait and see how I'll deal with you!"
"Alright, alright, I know, sis, I'm going... stop kicking." Su Bai grabbed the money and turned to run away, avoiding getting kicked.
After Su Bai left the yard, Liang Liang finally let out a long sigh of relief and continued to clean up. Before long, the dirty clothes in the yard were piled up like a small mountain. Not only that, but all the quilts were also taken apart, with the quilt covers ready to be washed and the cotton batting hung on the rope to dry in the sun.
When Su Bai brought back a large package of soap powder, Lian Yi was wiping the dust with a rag. The thick dust made Lian Yi wipe three times before the furniture regained its original color, and there was hardly any water left in the water tank.
Ripples took over the soap powder, pointing to the empty water bucket, "Go fetch water and fill up the bucket."
"What? Sister, I haven't even eaten breakfast yet and I have to work already?" Su Bai complained in a low voice.
Facing Su Bai, even Ai He Ping Li thought of beating him up, "What's with the 'early morning'? Look up and see what time it is now, still early? Don't complain, hurry up and go fetch water, just right to reduce some of that fat on you."
"Oh, I see." Su Bai reluctantly and listlessly shouldered his pole and left.
Lian Ying looked at Su Bai's plump back and smiled, shaking her head, thinking that Su Bai was not inherently bad and might still be salvageable.
Su Bai's room was tidy, next is Su Feng's room.
The room on the east side was Su Feng's, and she and Su Bai had made such a big noise in the yard that Su Feng hadn't woken up yet. Lingling was a bit worried. She gently pushed open the door, and was immediately hit with a strong smell of alcohol. No wonder Su Feng hadn't woken up, it turned out she was heavily drunk.
The air in the room was murky, but when the fresh air from outside came in, Su Feng was half asleep and half awake, "... Osmanthus... Osmanthus..." repeatedly shouting a name with desolation and loneliness.
Osmanthus fragrans, it was the name of Su Lian's mother, Lian suddenly realized and also guessed why Su Feng got drunk before going to bed.
According to Zhao, when Xu Guihua was alive, Su Feng restrained himself. The husband took charge of external matters and the wife took care of internal ones. The family lived in harmony. However, Xu Guihua's health was poor. After giving birth to Su Liuwei, she suffered a great loss of vitality. She passed away a few years after giving birth to Su Bai. Since then, Su Feng indulged in drinking every day and degenerated morally.
The ripples in his heart softened, Su Feng was also a man with feelings and righteousness, he reached out to gently push the man who was immersed in painful thoughts on the bed, "Dad, get up, dad, wake up." His voice was gentle.
Su Feng slowly opened his turbid eyes, and when he saw Su Liu Mei, his eyes lit up.
The woman in front of him, with her fair skin, tall stature, shiny black hair and beautiful eyebrows, was not his late wife he had been thinking about day and night, who else could she be? "Guifang... you're back? You... still look so young, how could you bear to leave me behind? Now that I've raised the child, take me with you."
Lianyi suddenly remembered the clean altar in the front hall and instantly knew who had been sweeping it every day.
There is no absolute in this world, only relative. In the eyes of Su's villagers, Su Feng is a heinous villain, but behind his back, he is a good husband and father.
Men appear strong, but are actually weak and immature inside; women appear weak, but are often strong and mature inside. So while it seems that women rely on men to live, the real spiritual pillar of the family is often the woman.
Su Lian suddenly remembered "Gone with the Wind", when Melanie Hamilton died, Ashley Wilkes also lost his charm.
"Father, wake up, it's me, Lianyi."
