Chapter Forty-Six: Encountering the Eldest Sister

Copied an egg fried rice, put some shredded cabbage and meat on it, Zhang Ruolin handed it to Zhao Jianguo, and put a bench in front of him, and then put a towel around his neck.

Picking up the basket hanging on the kitchen wall, Zhang Ruolin glanced at Zhao Jianguo, "I'm going to buy vegetables." ”

"You're not eating breakfast?"

"I'm not eating. ”

Watching Zhao Ruolin's figure disappear in front of the shadow wall, and then heard the sound of the side door being opened, Zhao Jianguo looked at the porcelain spoon in the bowl, and raised his eyebrows, this woman didn't give him a pair of chopsticks, how could she give him a spoon, and then breathed a sigh of relief, finally didn't drive him away, in fact, he was quite nervous in the past two days.

He didn't expect that because of such a trivial matter, this little woman's temper was really not small, and she didn't even pay attention to him these days, could it be that she looked down on herself so much? But according to the observation of the past few days, it doesn't look like a person who looks down on herself!

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Jianguo felt a little unlikely, how to say that he was also a talent, and he still had a salary of about 160 yuan a month, she also knew, and she also understood what more than 160 yuan a month represented, and four or five laborers in a household in the countryside could not save so much money in a year.

Think about it, Zhao Jianguo also has a headache, what is the reason? Could it be that he was "hurt" once, so he resisted marriage?

Zhao Jianguo knew that she was smart, and she must have seen it, and if he opened his mouth to explain it directly at this time, he was afraid to say it, and there would be no way to redeem it at that time.

Thinking of Zhang Ruolin's aggrieved face just now, Zhao Jianguo had a smile on his face, I'm afraid she didn't expect him to be so unkind in her dreams!

Picking up a spoon and digging a spoonful of egg fried rice into his mouth, Zhao Jianguo squinted his eyes slightly, his face was full of enjoyment, and at the same time his face was full of questions.

After a few days of getting along, I didn't find too much because I deliberately stayed away from him, but in terms of cooking, it was definitely not something that a woman in the countryside could do, it was even more exquisite and delicious than the chef in the restaurant.

According to her thin appearance, it is certain that the conditions of Zhao Erzhu's family are not enough to support her to learn cooking.

After eating a plate of egg fried rice in a few bites, Zhao Jianguo sent the bowl to the kitchen table, sat in the sun again, took out a small sewn crooked purse from his chest pocket, took out a pair of brand-new silver earrings from it, then put the earrings in, took out again, and took out a silver earring that had changed color.

Zhao Jianguo looked at the earrings in his hand, wiped them gently, put them in his ears and shook them lightly a few times, the small earrings bell, although so many years have passed, they can still make a crisp sound, but the sound is a little small, if you don't put it in your ears, you can't hear it at all.

Leaning on the bamboo chair, Zhao Jianguo closed his eyes while listening to the sound of "Ding Ding Ding", with a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, and his mind was full of memories of the past.

The market is bustling with shouting and bargaining, which is just a long alley, and I don't know how it has formed the only and largest farmers' market in the county.

Originally, the alley was quite spacious, but as soon as the stalls were set up on both sides, it suddenly became a little narrow.

In this kind of season, there are really not many vegetables that can be sold, buy a few green vegetables, the green vegetables in this season, are also left over in winter, and they have not been dug out in the field, and they must be old to eat, but the stalks are cut into shreds, and it is good to fry them fragrant and dry.

Bought two knives of meat, four catties out of the nod, a knife of meat is cut with a rib, two knives of meat is two ribs, the ribs are followed by the pork belly, now if the ribs are cut off and sold separately, it is basically difficult to sell, I am afraid that only people with good conditions in the family will buy ribs alone, fortunately, now there is no limit supply, really wait until the limited supply with the ticket, even if you have money, you are reluctant to buy meat with bones back.

Feeling that the basket in her hand was gently pulled, Zhang Ruolin turned her head to look at the woman with her head down, with a cloth towel wrapped around her head, there was a wooden bucket in front of her, and the milky white maltose was neatly placed in the barrel.

"Madame, would you like to buy some maltose for the children to take home? My maltose is sweet and non-sticky. A low, trembling voice rang out of the woman's mouth.

The woman always kept her head down, the black clothes were sewn and patched with several patches, and I don't know how many years this dress was, and the black clothes gradually faded their original color in some places, but it can be seen that this woman loves to be clean.

"How much is a pound?"

"Twenty for a dime, do you buy it? My maltose is sweet and not sticky. The woman said with her head down.

Zhang Ruolin squatted down with a smile, put the basket in front of her, and picked up the big enamel teacup inside, "You can't do this business, do you know what you want to shout?" You look at the people selling things around, and then look at you, look at your maltose should not have touched it since morning!"

The woman nodded slightly.

"Buy me five cents and put it in a cup. ”

The woman took the big enamel teacup, raised her head and glanced at Zhang Ruolin, then hurriedly lowered her head, picked up the clamp in the wooden barrel, and sandwiched it into the teacup piece by piece.

Zhang Ruolin's brows were tightly locked, how could she have a familiar feeling, lowered her head and tilted her head, glanced at the woman with a somewhat pale complexion, and the woman raised her head and showed a shy smile at Zhang Ruolin.

Zhang Ruolin remembered in her mind who this woman she was familiar with.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't remember how many pieces I counted, can I fall down and count again?"

Zhang Ruolin nodded, "If you count ten yuan and ten yuan, five times is equal to five cents." ”

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said in a low voice: "Thank you, why didn't I think of it?"

Watching the woman pour all the maltose in the cup into the wooden barrel, picking up the clips and putting them into the cup piece by piece, Zhang Ruolin exhaled slightly, "Why did you come to sell it today?

Sister Zhang said "ah", "Do you know my mother-in-law?"

Zhang Ruolin said "um".

"My mother-in-law is not in good health these days and is resting at home. ”

Zhang Ruolin let out an "oh", "Sick?"

Sister Zhang nodded, "It's an old problem, and my mother-in-law said that it would be fine after a few days of rest." ”
