Chapter 79: Going Out
|151Kanshu.com text|.| Zhang and Cheng Dalang had a falling out.Cheng Dalang naturally didn't come to stay at night.Wang was beaten by Mrs. Cheng during the day.His eyes were confused.He wasn't as excited as he was in the past.He kept his face calm and didn't speak.
Cheng Dalang held his breath in his heart, wanting to be cold to Zhang, let Zhang understand how sad it was to live without her husband's favor, but he forgot that he had never given anything to Zhang.
In the evening, Mrs. Cheng asked Wang to make a big pot of gnocchi soup with white flour, and put some bacon in it.
Seeing this, Wang thought it was because of the beating during the day.Mrs. Cheng felt guilty.Her heart increased a little bit of pride.The pimple soup in the big blue and white bowl.She ate three bowls before she dropped the chopsticks.
Mrs. Cheng was distressed, and in the end, her face was a little ugly.
Cheng Erlang was busy standing up after eating, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and when he came back in the evening, in the front yard house, the Wang family had to have another quarrel with him.
"Okay, what are you doing as a man?" Old Lady Cheng stopped Cheng Erlang and glanced at Wang, who had just stood up.
Cheng Erlang scratched his head in embarrassment.At this time, Wang took the chopsticks in his hand.When passing by him, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.I bumped into Cheng Erlang.The force was so great.Cheng Erlang almost fell.
Seeing Mrs. Cheng's glare, Wang asked reluctantly. It's all right."
Then without waiting for Cheng Erlang to say that it was okay, he complained. Standing here in the way, I don't know where to move."
Seeing that his mother was about to get angry again, Cheng Erlang hurriedly spoke. It's okay, it's okay."
Thinking of going to the name of the Wang family, the old lady Cheng scolded the words to her lips and swallowed again, glared at her son who was not angry, and simply didn't look at it, moved to the kang to make fun of her grandson.
Mrs. Cheng's sudden change still made Wang Shi look at it in surprise, and he was puzzled for a moment, so he didn't think much about it, he just thought it was because of the daytime.
Cheng Dalang had already eaten, took out the books he had read from the cabinet, took out a copy of the "Four Books and Five Classics" and read it.
At night, the small mountain village is quiet and serene, and the dim light from far and near gives the whole village a touch of soft color in this cold winter.
In the evening, Mrs. Cheng glanced at her son who was sleeping at the end of the kang, her face was a little bitter, her son was not young, but she didn't even have a son who would inherit the lineage.
Although she doesn't like the Zhang family, if she gives birth to a son, she will find the roots of the Cheng family, but it has been two days since her son came back.
Thinking of these, Mrs. Cheng complained about Zhang's again, and actually pushed the man out.
To say that this old lady Cheng is also a superb Ah Q thought.Whenever it doesn't go well.,Will find all kinds of reasons to make my heart happy.Otherwise, it's this age.Where is the ability to be angry.I've been angry and half dead.。
It's late at night.Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Laohan slept together.Cheng Dalang tossed and turned but couldn't sleep.I think he hadn't touched a woman for more than half a year.I couldn't stand it if I was a man.But Zhang's side just didn't bow his head.He couldn't fall down.Now he has a chance.
In his heart, he hated Zhang's ruthlessness a little more, vowed to get a name for himself, and looked at how dare she underestimate herself.
In the west room, Zhang had already gone to bed early with his two children, and at dawn the next day, Zhang got up, pasted sweet potatoes for the two children, and then simply changed his clothes.
Peach Blossom looked at the clothes that Zhang had changed, and it was no better than the one she took off, and there were a few patches on the cuffs of the clothes.
Zhang put his hair behind his head and simply took the blame, and there was no bronze mirror at home. Zhang finished combing his hair to the basin and turned around to explain to the two children.
"I'm going to the town to buy something to embroider purses, you two are good at home."
"Mother, I'll go too." Peach Blossom really wants to go.
She couldn't figure out what dynasty it was, at least she had to figure out the current dynasty and some of the situation before she could think about how to make money, otherwise she would be stuck in this house, and she was really not far from starvation.
"What should I do if it's freezing on a cold day? It's rare for Zhang to say such a thing.
Buns cost five cents a piece, you can buy a handful of face, where can the poor family afford to eat, but now the Zhang family doesn't want to wronged the child, calculate the family's money, the last time I sold frozen pears, there are more than 20 yuan, plus the three yuan for mending clothes, and the more than 20 yuan left over from selling bean sprouts a few days ago, together there are 50 yuan.
If it weren't for Carpenter Li giving him a basket of frozen pears, the money earned from selling bean sprouts would not be enough to buy seeds. Now he used the money from selling frozen pears to buy seeds, and he also had money in his hand.
In the rich man's house, these fifty wen is not enough to reward him, but in the poor man's house, he can't wait to break one penny into two pennies. Peach Blossom sat on the side and watched Zhang's count the money there. I couldn't help but take a piece of paper into my hand to read. It was written on the Great Zhou. I thought in my heart. I don't know if it was the Western Zhou or the Eastern Zhou. Although she didn't know much, she looked at the clothes she was wearing like the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing that the tiger girl also came over to see, Peach Blossom guessed her thoughts, and did not hide it, and took it for a while to let her see it clearly, and then put it back in Zhang's hand.
This penny is not much money in the eyes of others, but this is the first time that their peach blossoms have seen money." When you earn the money, my mother will give you the New Year's money."
Peach Blossom knows where Zhang's heart knot is." Mother, I don't want to press the New Year's money, you just let me go to town with you, I don't want buns, I just want to be with my mother."
Although I don't know how much the buns cost, but look at the price of the white noodles and Zhang's decision to buy the buns, I know that it must not be cheap.
Peach Blossom knew that Zhang's heart was soft, so she threw herself into Zhang's arms and begged. Mother, take me there, I'm wearing a thick quilt, and it's not cold when I put on a quilt."
Zhang sighed. Okay."
Peach Blossom jumped up happily.Zhang was afraid that she would fall.Hold her and put her on the ground.Seeing the envious tiger girl on the side.'s eyes paused." You're at home, if you take care of two, your aunt can't take care of it."
Tiger Niu nodded, and smiled. Auntie, I'm good, you and Sister Peach Blossom are going."
Zhang nodded, stretched out his hand to touch the tiger girl's head, and finally took it back.
This subtle change.Tiger girl is not a child.How could she not notice.With an innocent smile on her face.Secretly clenched her teeth.Sure enough, Zhang's looks gentle.It's also a bad one.
Peach Blossom saw Zhang's like this, and her heart became more and more satisfied. Some things are not just good if you are kind.
Zhang's hugged the quilt and led the peach blossom out of the house.
Mrs. Cheng glanced at Zhang's mother and daughter, walked out with the cloth bag on her arm, Cheng Dalang just sent his mother out, saw Zhang's appearance of going out, frowned, and didn't say anything, turned around and entered the house.
When they arrived at the head of the village, the ox cart of the Wang family was already waiting there, except for Mrs. Wang, who were the three members of the Cheng family.
Peach Blossom is making a fuss and has to let Zhang's hug.It's just that Zhang's can only wrap the quilt and hug Peach Blossom.Who knows that Peach Blossom is afraid that she will do this when she freezes.Sitting in Zhang's arms.Listening to Mrs. Wang keep praising that cheap father.Can't help but hook the corners of her lips.It seems that the people in the village know Mrs. Cheng very well.I don't know how to pick what she likes to hear.Anyone is happy.
It took nearly half an hour to see the town, half an hour in ancient times, an hour in modern times, and an hour to walk in a carriage.
The town is very big, a road leading to the town is lined with shops on both sides, the houses are all suites, the quaint atmosphere, and the peach blossoms are very like.
After getting out of the carriage, Mrs. Cheng went directly inside, Zhang folded the quilt and put it on the ox cart, and then pulled the peach blossoms to find the fabric shop.
After walking through a few alleys, Zhang took the peach blossom into a cloth village, the four words on the plaque, the peach blossom recognized 'Zhouzhuang cloth village', there were three or two women in the cloth village, a man in a green shirt introduced on the side, looked up to see people coming in, only glanced at it, and did not say hello.
Peach Blossom knows that this is a common problem ----- power eye.
Just look at Zhang's dress, and know that he is poor.
"Little second brother, is there cloth for sale here?" Zhang's got used to it.
"How much do you want to buy?" Xiao Er's face was really like this.
Peach Blossom actually doesn't care about being looked at like this.Who makes us poor?Her attention at this time is all on the fabric in the cloth house.It's mostly linen and cotton.There are very few pieces of silk and satin that are there.There is a faint dust on it.It can be seen that no one buys it.
