Chapter 281: Incomprehensible Customs
Cai's mother got a few flower pots in the yard, planted a few cucumbers and loofahs, which grew quite luxuriantly, and covered the small yard densely, which was still quite shady in summer.
The room was arranged a long time ago, Qiao Jiayue and Cai Ping lived in one, and Qiao Hongzhi lived in one by himself.
Qiao Hongzhi turned around curiously, and found that he had to empty the toilet by himself.
And several alleys share a public toilet, and when he heard that sometimes he has to queue up when he goes late, he was so surprised that his eyes almost didn't fall out.
In the countryside, which family has not repaired the latrine, I didn't expect that life in the city is also inconvenient.
As the little master, Cai Ping took Qiao Hongzhi and Qiao Jiayue to visit all the rooms in the house and introduced all the things in the house.
After Cai Ming came back, he went out with a small pumpkin, and soon after, Xu Sunshine came back with a pot of gypsum in his hand.
"Come and try the gypsum, it's already iced. Xu Sunshine shouted at the three children with a smile.
It's hotter in the city than in the mountains, and it's already evening, and the sun is setting, so the temperature hasn't dropped much.
When the brother and sister first heard about the gypsum, they gathered around it curiously, and found that it was a pale yellow paste, which seemed to have just been taken out of the freezer, and it was still steaming.
Cai's mother took a few bowls and spoons, dug a little gypsum into a bowl and broke it, then added sugar water, and then it was ready to eat.
Qiao Hongzhi and Qiao Jiayue are both eating it for the first time, and the gypsum in the entrance is a bit Q-bomb, icy, sweet, and a bit like jelly.
"Delicious, right?" Cai's mother watched the three children eat and her eyes narrowed, and her eyes narrowed into a line with laughter.
"Delicious, delicious. Qiao Hong couldn't help nodding.
"I can only eat another bowl after eating, I can't eat more of this thing, or I shouldn't have diarrhea. Cai's mother made a bowl for Xu Sunshine and Cai Ming.
"If you can add some canned food, it tastes even better. Cai Ming said with emotion.
"If you want to eat, buy it yourself. Cai's mother glared at him, and she would talk about it.
"Okay, I'll bring a dozen bottles back from Haishi next time. ”
"You don't need to bring it from Haishi, you give me money, and I'll send it to you tomorrow. Xu Sunshine said with a smile on the side.
"Hey, I forgot Sunshine that you're already the manager. Cai Ming said exaggeratedly patting Xu Yangyang's shoulder.
Xu Sunshine glanced at him and ate the gypsum in the bowl in one go.
Cai Mule watched them bickering happily and didn't speak.
After eating gypsum, Cai's mother asked Qiao Jiayue and them to sit and listen to the radio, and she went to make dinner.
When it's hot, she plans to make pumpkin porridge with stir-fried greens and serve it with fried peanuts and pickles.
Tomorrow, she will go to the food store early to line up, buy some meat and fish, and come back to pack up a good meal.
After dinner, Cai's mother opened the door, moved a few stools behind the door, held a few pu fans, and sat there to enjoy the coolness.
At this time, in this alley, every household has also opened its door, many people have moved bamboo chairs outside the door, and children are running around in the alley, laughter and screams echoing in the alley.
Xu Jia has been paying attention to the situation of the Cai family, she knew that Cai Ming was back, but she didn't meet it.
Just now, she learned that Cai Ming took her niece to the countryside and brought back two children.
She hesitated at home for a long time and decided to come to Cai Ming and ask him what he thought.
Qiao Jiayue and Cai Ping were turning over the flower rope, and there was a person standing in front of Leng Buding, and when they looked up, they saw that it was a strange sister.
"Excuse me, is Cai Ming there?"
Cai's mother went to the house to bring water, and when she came out, she heard someone asking Cai Ming, so she replied, "No, he went to play, is there something wrong with the girl?"
After all, Cai's mother is from the past, and when she saw Xu Jia's situation, she knew her thoughts, and she couldn't help sighing in her heart, Cai Ming's marriage was also a big difficulty.
"Oh, it's okay, it's just that he asked me to help me in the first place, and I want to tell him. Xu Jia lowered her head, twisted her fingers like twists, and said a little nervously.
"Then sit down and wait, Cai Ming will be back in a while. Cai's mother moved a stool, asked Xu Jia to sit down, and then inquired about her situation without a trace.
Xu Jia was a little nervous, but answered honestly.
Cai's mother asked, eh, no, this girl's house is not far from her house, just separated by two alleys.
But the surname is Xu, which Xu family? She has to ask someone to inquire.
Cai Ming has been dragging out not to get married all these years, in short, Cai's mother will not agree to let another Bai family woman enter the door.
Look at the eldest daughter-in-law, who tossed her eldest son, and now she has abandoned her husband and daughter, but she is having a good time.
Xu Jia chatted with Cai's mother for a while, and wanted to please the old man, so she focused on Qiao Jiayue and Cai Ping.
Seeing that they were playing with the flower rope again, Xu Jia took the initiative to teach a few new patterns, but successfully brushed a sense of presence in front of the two children.
At this time, Cai Ming took Qiao Hongzhi to wander the streets outside, and there were many people like them on the road, three by two.
But Qiao Hongzhi's eyes were sharp, and he found that there were many people who still carried a bag or had bulging pockets in their hands.
So this evening walk is actually for other purposes?
He found out that he didn't squeak, so he silently observed, followed Cai Ming twice, and then they came back.
"Where have you been, nickname, someone is looking for you, see if you made people wait. As soon as Cai's mother saw Cai Ming, she first said with a slap in her face.
Cai Ming was stunned for a moment, and then when he saw the person sitting there, he couldn't help but smile: "Xu Jia, why are you here? I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you late?"
Xu Jia stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, what about you?"
"Let's talk. Cai Ming stretched out his hand to slap a dead mosquito and took Xu Jia in.
Cai's mother squinted, there was a play, so she was busy pouring water to entertain the guests.
Qiao Jiayue glanced at Qiao Hongzhi, "Where have you gone to play?"
"I didn't play, I just went for a walk and walked around twice. Qiao Hongzhi shook his head, seeing that the other houses in the alley had begun to close, he urged the two girls to enter the house as well.
Qiao Jiayue glanced at Qiao Hongzhi again, and was sure that he must have discovered something, but he didn't say it.
In the house, Xu Jia didn't ask what she said in her heart, she was awkward for a while, and continued to talk about the post office.
“…… I didn't find out that the letter was detained, and I haven't done it for so long, and I shouldn't be able to do it in the future. ”
"It's you, when you come back this time, have you been transferred to another position?"
Xu Jia hopes that Cai Ming still has the same office job as he did at the beginning, so that they don't have to travel frequently, and they can have more time to meet.
Cai Ming didn't hear what Xu Jia meant, he smiled and said, "I'm the train conductor now, or the train from Quanshi to Haishi." ”
When Xu Jia heard this, there was a trace of disappointment in her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head, "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow at noon. Cai Ming quickly replied, "By the way, I brought a lot of vegetables from the Alpine Brigade today, and I'll get you a handful of beans." ”
He said as he walked briskly to the kitchen, grabbed a handful of straw bundles of long beans and walked out, "Come, I'll send you back." ”
Xu Jia walked in front sullenly.
"Alright, let's go back. Cai Ming sent Xu Jia to her door, stuffed the long beans into her hand, and turned to leave.
Xu Jia looked at Cai Ming's back, her eyes were sour, and tears were rolling in it.
At this time, there was a scolding voice from the door, "Stinky girl, where have you gone?" I tell you, you will look at me obediently tomorrow. It was introduced by your aunt, young and promising, just like you......"
