Chapter 102: Aunt Li's Past (2)
The commissary was at the other end of the village, so Xiaxia walked a little longer, and when she arrived at the commissary, Xiaxia took out a dollar and put it on the counter.
"Boss, help me get a bottle of vinegar. Xiaxia said.
At that time, the commissary was a counter as soon as it entered the door, which was full of dazzling goods, what did you want to tell the boss, the boss gave it to you, and did not let others do it, at that time, the idea was more feudal, and this was also done to prevent others from stealing.
"Yo, Xiaxia is here, you want vinegar, right? Wait a minute, I'll get it for you!" The boss obviously knows Xiaxia, and it seems that Xiaxia is a frequent visitor here.
"Yes, good boss. Xiaxia replied, then turned to look at the snow outside the door.
Suddenly, a worn-out car passed by the doorway, passing by the entrance of the commissary.
Where Xia Xia lives here, there are very few people who come here all year round, let alone a car, which is a rarity.
The curious Xiaxia couldn't help but go out of the door and glanced at the back of the car that was getting farther and farther away.
A few minutes ago, in a dilapidated car, two greasy middle-aged men.
"Brother, do you think we can steal people from this poor ravine for the New Year?" said a young man with a sharp beak and cheeks, who looked to be about twenty or thirty years old, grinned.
Another person who was driving at this time, with a bearded face, eyes like poisonous snakes, and a clearly visible crack on his rough rhubarb face, scolded and said: "Damn, if it weren't for your sister-in-law who just gave birth to a big fat boy for me, and the family expenses are tight, do you think Lao Tzu is willing to come out for the New Year and continue to do his old job!"
"Hehe, too, I just came to this poor ravine today to do it once, earn some money and go back, so that I can wrap a big red envelope for my newborn nephew!" said the young man with a smile.
The man who was driving, when he heard the man say this, grinned, and also caused the scar on his face to wrinkle, like a centipede on his face.
"Hahaha, little Liuzi, a few of our brothers, you kid is the best at things, so ah, I want you to come with me this time, it just so happens that I have a customer who wants to find a child daughter-in-law, saying that it is for 2000 thousand yuan for a girl, this time it is over, we will not worry about eating and drinking this year!"
"That's, that's, follow the third brother, that's definitely eating meat. Xiao Liuzi licked with a smile on his face, and then saw the snowflakes floating outside the car window and said: "Third brother, it's snowing here, it is estimated that there will be no business today, why don't you find a place to rest first?"
The third brother shouted: "Damn, what do you want for this broken ravine, what is it, I can only spend the night in the car tonight." ”
As the snow became heavier and heavier, when the third brother was about to drive out of the village in his car, he suddenly thought that he had missed something, and he slapped his thigh: "Oh, I remember that there is a store in the place I just passed, take a walk, go back, and see if there is anything hot to eat, this ghost weather, it is really cold." ”
Xiao Liuzi was also a little shivering from the cold, and he sighed hot on his hands: "Mmmm, go, go back." ”
……
Xiaxia stood at the door and watched the back of the car getting farther and farther away, and when she was about to lose sight, the car suddenly turned around and drove towards her again.
With a sudden brake, the car stopped steadily in front of Xiaxia, and then two people got out of the car, fierce and vicious, with lit cigarettes in their mouths.
Xia Xia had never seen these two people, and looking at the clothes of these two people, Xia Xia instinctively retreated.
At this time, the owner of the shop also took a bottle of vinegar and patted Xiaxia on the shoulder: "Xiaxia, your vinegar." ”
Xia Xia was taken aback, her previous thoughts were on the two people at the door, and she was so slapped by the boss coldly, she was really unprepared.
"Ah, good!" Xia Xia took the vinegar bottle from the boss's hand in a little panic, and then went out with her head down.
The third brother didn't notice Xiaxia, he only felt the biting cold wind in the mountains, and went directly into the commissary and passed by Xiaxia.
Xiao Liuzi may not have a girlfriend, and suddenly saw a big girl in the mountains who was still a little beautiful, and couldn't help but look at the back of Xiaxia leaving.
"I didn't expect there to be such a posture in this ravine. Xiao Liuzi stuck out her tongue and licked her chapped lips.
……
in the commissary.
The third brother looked around, and said in a rough voice: "Boss, is there anything hot, our brothers are out of the house, and we haven't had a hot meal for two days." ”
The boss also looked at the third brother, and all the ruffians were exposed, but the people in the mountains were still relatively simple, and said: "I only have this small shop for home use, if you want to eat hot, you have to walk five kilometers forward, there is our town, if you are lucky, you meet a small restaurant that is not closed, you should still be able to eat some hot food." ”
The third brother thought about it in his heart, he hadn't eaten a hot meal for several days along the way, and he was in a panic that he missed it, and he could still wronged himself when he was out of the house.
"That's okay, boss, get me some peanuts or something first, and then bring me two bottles of Lao Baigan, drink some to warm up. ”
"Well, wait a minute, I'll get it for you!"
As he spoke, the boss took two bottles of Lao Baigan from the back shelf, and took out a large handful of fried peanuts from his snakeskin pocket.
"Boss, your things are ready, a total of five yuan!" the boss said after settling the account.
The third brother took out five yuan from his pocket and threw it on the table, turned around and left.
As soon as the third brother went out, he saw Xiao Liuzi standing at the door looking into the distance.
The third brother kicked Xiao Liuzi.
"What's the matter? Get in the car!"
Xiao Liuzi came back to his senses, consciously took the things in the third brother's hand, and then got into the car.
As soon as he got in the car, Xiao Liuzi said to the third brother shyly: "Third brother, I saw a girl just now, tsk, that's okay, or I'll keep an eye on it later?"
The third brother scolded: "No, Xiao Liuzi, I think you are complaining, you are still staring at other girls' girls on this snowy day, what's the matter, you are not afraid of freezing to death?"
Xiao Liuzi smiled: "Brother, you have a family and a room, I am alone, I haven't vented for more than a month, this is really a little panicked." ”
The third brother glanced at Xiao Liuzi, and was a little impatient: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the front town in a while, see if I can find any service, your sister-in-law is pregnant, look at me closely, Lao Tzu hasn't had that for several months." ”
Xiao Liuzi smirked.
……
Xiaxia had palpitations all the way, walking on the road always felt that someone was following her, Xiaxia couldn't help but bury her head deeper, and her steps were getting faster and faster, which may be the reason for the snow and slippery roads, Xiaxia had a few times and almost fell down without paying attention.
Along the way, Xiaxia did not stop and went straight home.
On this day, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and the goose-feather snow fell all night.
The next morning, when Xiaxia got up, Xiaxia's father went out early, and Xiaxia's mother was not at home.
But Xia Xia was used to it, and went to the kitchen to take out a bowl of porridge that was still steaming from the pot.
Xia Xia took a little pickle from the dining table into the bowl, then took the bowl, walked to the stone pier at the gate and sat down, watching a group of children at the door frolicking and having a snowball fight.
'Suck', Xiaxia drank the porridge in the bowl and ate the small pickles, with a sense of satisfaction.
"Xiaxia!Xiaxia!" A familiar voice came from a distance.
As soon as Xia Xia looked up, she saw her best friend Jiajia, wearing a big flower jacket, running towards her.
Xiaxia also stood up and beckoned to Jiajia: "Jiajia!"
Jiajia panted and ran to Xiaxia's side.
"Xiaxia... Let's go, let's go to town, let's ......," Jiajia said with a gasp.
Xia Xia asked with a confused look: "What are you doing, so in a hurry?"
Jiajia walked too quickly, her throat and eyes felt a little dry, she snatched the porridge in Xiaxia's bowl that she hadn't finished drinking, and threw it up.
"Slow down, hot!" Xiaxia said with concern, and carefully wiped the remaining porridge from the corner of Jiajia's mouth.
Jiajia took a big sip of satisfaction, and then said leisurely: "I just heard from the person who came back from the bazaar that there is a show in the bazaar today, and I heard that there is a lion dance, let's go and have a look!"
Xia Xia was a little embarrassed: "Jiajia, I may not go, my parents are not at home, I have to stay at home to watch the door." ”
"Oh, what kind of door do you see, lock the door, hide the key in the place where your family often hides the key, uncle and aunt are back, see the locked door, I will definitely look for the key, if you want to say that we will go to see it for a while and come back!"
Jiajia pulled Xiaxia's arm and dragged Xiaxia to leave.
"Well, wait a minute, I'll put the bowl down first. ”
"Okay, hurry up, I'll wait for you!"
After saying that, Xia Xia directly put the bowl on the table, went out with Jiajia, locked the door, and hid the key under the bricks next to the door.
The two girls held each other and walked on the thick snow, their shoes crunching and crunching on the snow.
"Hey, Xiaxia, I heard that the big cities outside are now developing well, some houses are several floors, and the roads are full of cars, even the Erniu in the village next door, that stupid, I heard that I went out to work last year, and I kept sending money home for a month. ”
Xia Xia looked at Jiajia's yearning eyes and quipped, "What's the matter? The village flower of our village has also begun to yearn for life outside the mountain?"
Jiajia glanced at Xiaxia with disgust, and said coquettishly: "Oh, people don't have very bad grades, how can they be like you, the first place in the class, your father is still a teacher in our school, if I am as interested in learning as you are, I will continue to study, but you say that I am almost 18 years old, my grades are so poor, it is not interesting to go to school again, my family also told me yesterday that they don't want me to go to school again next year, I think I won't go to school, I will go out to work, and by the way, look at the outside world." ”
