Chapter 56: Opinions
Zhang went to the old Wang's house at the head of the village to borrow half a basin of noodles and walked back, and saw Carpenter Li standing at the gate of his house from a distance.
Last time, because of the frozen pear, Zhang's had been avoiding Carpenter Li when he walked in the village, and he always felt very embarrassed, but this time Carpenter Li was waiting there, and Zhang knew that he couldn't avoid it.
Sure enough, when passing by the road in front of Carpenter Li's house, Carpenter Li called out to Zhang, "Sister-in-law, wait a minute." ”
Zhang lowered his head and steadied his steps, "Brother Li, what's the matter with you?"
Carpenter Li removed the door made of wood, holding a basket in his hand, "It's the New Year, you can take this thing back, I know that last time because of the frozen pear, my aunt didn't say much about you, we are not afraid of the shadow crooked, if you really always hide, let others think more." ”
Carpenter Li's temperament was upright, and he stuffed the basket into Zhang's hand without saying anything, and without waiting for Zhang's to speak, he turned around and entered the yard, the cold wind blew, and when he heard the sound of the door closing, Zhang raised his head and looked at where there was Carpenter Li's figure.
The basket was covered with a piece of green cloth, and he couldn't see what was inside, and Zhang was not in the mood to look through it here, thinking about the two small figures at home, he gritted his teeth and walked back with the basket.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it was another big family, and the village was unusually quiet, so that no one saw this scene.
When Zhang carried the basket into the house, Mrs. Cheng glanced at Zhang, saw that her eyes moved, snorted, and entered the house with a porridge basin, and Zhang walked into the house quickly.
Seeing that there was only Peach Blossom herself, she put the pot and basket on the kang, "Where is the tiger girl?"
"I went to play with Cheng Lin. Peach Blossom crawled over and removed the cloth from the basket.
A piece of pork with three layers, a frozen fish, and a cloth bag with white noodles on the outside, you don't need to open it to know that it's noodles, and these things are also worth a lot of money.
Even if the Wang family is pitiful to the Zhang family, they won't borrow these things, and the Zhang family won't open their mouths to borrow these, otherwise it must have been given by Carpenter Li.
With just one glance at Peach Blossom, I could guess where this thing came from.
"Mother, there are so many delicious foods, you have a lot of money, right?" I listened to the money that Zhang's came back from selling frozen pears to buy things, and I was looking at this small half bag of white noodles, where could I get half the money.
Carpenter Li is really generous, it seems that the conditions are also good, and he is really good at Zhang's heart, so it is a good choice.
It is rumored in the village that the cheap father is coming back, and Carpenter Li can still do this, which shows that he is also a good heart.
Although I didn't see it, looking at the current appearance of the Zhang family and the attitude of the Cheng family, I knew that the cheap father didn't like the Zhang family, and now that he was a showman, I was afraid that he looked down on the Zhang family even more.
There is also a widow by his side, and if the Zhang family wants to live in this family, life must be difficult, and if he can leave, it is also a good way to marry Li Carpenter.
What Peach Blossom has been struggling with at this time is how to go out with Zhang.
This kung fu, Zhang listened to Peach Blossom's words, and his face flushed slightly, "It's not." ”
With noodles, you can return the borrowed ones.
I can't eat enough now, and I can't take care of it so much, Zhang picked up the basin, "Peach Blossom, you are at home, and your mother will come back when she goes." ”
"Mother," Peach Blossom stopped Zhang's and saw Zhang's stop, before saying, "Let's wait until after lunch, and just send some wrapped dumplings to Uncle Li, last time he took me to his house, and he hasn't thanked them yet." ”
Seeing Zhang's hesitation, Peach Blossom lowered her voice, "Mother, you borrowed this noodle from Uncle Wang's house, right? ”
Peach Blossom has her own selfishness, and always lets Carpenter Li pay silently by herself, and the Zhang family always has to give some response, but you can't let Carpenter Li give up.
Zhang felt that what his daughter said was right, besides, she also knew how expensive this thing was, so she couldn't go away with eating it for nothing, Carpenter Li was single, and he wouldn't make dumplings if he wanted to.
"Mother, let's pack it now, I can't help but be hungry now. Peach Blossom walked over and grabbed Zhang's sleeve and begged.
Zhang put the basin in his hand on the kang and hugged his daughter into his arms, "Mother will do it now, we can also eat fish today." ”
When the tiger girl came back, she saw the mother and daughter hugging each other, jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she trotted to the side of the kang and raised her head, "Auntie." ”
Zhang let go of his daughter and touched the tiger girl's head, "Let's make dumplings now." ”
"I'll be full, too," Hu Niu said to the peach blossom on the side, "My sister can play, and my aunt and I will make dumplings for my sister." ”
Hearing her say this, the smile on Zhang's face deepened, and even praised the tiger girl for being sensible, and the peach blossom looked at the tiger girl's face full of smiles, and secretly laughed at it was just a jealousy between children, and it was really a child.
When Zhang's stomping on the meat, Westinghouse was also making dumpling fillings, and the meat cut in Wang's hand was bigger than Zhang's, but his mouth was unforgiving, "Sister-in-law has a lot of money for this piece of meat, right? Sister-in-law who sells bean sprouts also saves a lot, right?"
Zhang didn't look back, and his hands didn't stop, but he didn't hear Wang's words.
Wang was unwilling, "Ah, this money is a lot of money, right? My mother said that the family is tight this year, so I haven't bought any fish, sister-in-law, can you eat this fish?"
Peach Blossom couldn't stand it anymore, pushed open the door, and shouted crisply, "Mother, there are more people in our family for the New Year this year, is one fish enough to eat?
Zhang listened to his daughter's words, raised his head, and said with a smile, "This fish is given by someone, Peach Blossom is good, wait for my mother to have money, buy a big one for Peach Blossom." ”
Peach Blossom looked up at Wang's head and glared at her, she smiled and answered, turned around and entered the house, she didn't believe that it was given by others, and Westinghouse could still be cheeky and worried about this fish? Besides, she also got her mouth and came back, this was a debt caused by their son, so I didn't believe that they were not weak-hearted.
