Chapter 157: Pei Shuo's Birthday (Part II)
Send away the honeysuckle, and when I go out, I see the mother-in-law with a broken mouth probing her brain.
The annoying people don't know it, not only gossip, but also keep poking people's hearts: "What is that little girl looking for you? The little girl's family has to be careful, everyone as big as you is about to talk about kissing, what if the man's family knows that no one wants to do it......?"
Her unfinished words were silenced under A-Yao's sharp eyes and the kitchen knife that showed out of the basket.
Ah Yao smiled and put the kitchen knife away. "Auntie is idle, just take care of your daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law's mother doesn't see you to care for her when she is in the field, but takes care of outsiders. As for the little guy, people invited me to come to the door to make a banquet for the owner, and my aunt asked if she wanted to pay me to make a banquet for your family?
"Crazy, two pieces of money, and you have to bring your own materials! Why don't you go and grab it!" The woman yelled, trying to attract the attention of the neighbors, Yu Niang and Aunt Wang saw that it was this troublemaker again, Yu Niang hesitated for a moment, Aunt Wang walked over leisurely, relieved, sighed and closed the door.
"Buy and sell at will, if you don't want to, I won't go to your door if you invite me in the future. Yao snorted.
In the past, she was very satisfied with this life, with four or five households on the first floor closing the door and not hearing gossip. After coming here, the people who live in the alley where Mochizuki's house is located have seen a lot of rewards transported to Mochizuki's house, although they are curious, but they will not run to the door of Mochizuki's house and point and say that your family is robbing money, you are a Mochizuki, Huanghua is not married yet, and there are no relatives to help it, it is too pitiful.
is so happy that A-Yao almost forgets that this world is still a bit broken-mouthed, and she is so idle that she has to point fingers at other people's family affairs.
"If you don't go up, you won't go up, who will scarce you. The woman took a sip.
"Wow!"
The geese nesting in the pond came running with their wings raised.
The big dog that had been lying down by the door stood up and barked at the woman and wanted to pounce, the thin dog was raised by A-Yao for a winter's fat, the coat was fine and black, the body was slender and full of muscles, and the forelimbs were vacated and vaguely had a standing posture, which was almost able to reach A-Yao's shoulders, and the dog's body grew to a certain extent, which could bring a threat to people.
The woman found a dog by the door, her scalp was numb, and she was so frightened that she took a few steps back.
Ah Yao untied the leash next to the door and held it in her hand, and said with a cold face: "Auntie had better do what she says, don't come to my house to probe her brain, otherwise it will not be good to be regarded as a gentleman by my dog and goose." ”
"I won't go to your house if I am killed!" the woman fled.
A-Yao lowered her head and stroked the thin dog, and put the leash back on the door, "Okay, I'll add chicken legs and meat bones to you later." ”
"Wang!" it seemed to understand, and replied to the door, its tail cocked upwards and wagged.
"Gah!" the little white goose raised its head, pecked the rope that tied the thin dog again, and looked at A-Yao with blank eyes.
"Cheng Cheng Cheng, you play, don't damage my field, destroy my field, I'll let you stew yourself in an iron pot. ”
"Gah!"
Ah Yao realized, just like explaining to the child, untied the rope and let a dog and a goose play with each other.
Aunt Wang looked at it for a while and came to the door: "You are not afraid of offending her." ”
"Aunt Wang, you heard it all. Ah Yao was stunned, but when it came to dealing with the mother-in-law, she was not embarrassed on her face, and she was very excited:
"I haven't done anything to be sorry for her. On the first day, she was over there to talk about the wind and cold, as the saying goes, eating people has a short mouth, and after eating my scallion pancakes, she didn't see her mouth constricting. Is it wrong for others to invite me to cook at the door? Today, when I see a little servant coming to the door, I can open the door and say openly and secretly that I have something to do, and when he is in time, will anyone come to the door to say that I am not innocent and unserious? I am a cook, not a secret prostitute! Seeing that there is no one in my house, my reputation is ruined, and if I reach the point where there is no banquet to receive and my life cannot be sustained, I will find a white silk to hang in front of the official mansion where her son is!
Ah Yao's eyes were faintly red, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became, her voice gradually increased, and her neighbors could hear her words about finding Bai Aya to go to his official office.
Aunt Wang was startled, but she didn't expect Ah Yao to look soft and strong inside, and she had no doubt that one day she would make an irreversible move, and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't think about it, Aunt Wang will never let her ruin your reputation if you look at her." ”
Ah Yao accepted her emotions and thanked Aunt Wang: "Thank you Aunt Wang for taking care of you, Ah Yao knows it." I made fried river shrimp with leek flowers, the river shrimp are the size of shrimp seedlings, the shell is thin and soft, fried in oil, crispy and delicious, you don't even need to spit out the shell, Aunt Wang, you take it back to taste. ”
Aunt Wang: "That's embarrassing." ”
She was a little moved, Shangfeng, who was concerned with her son, suddenly came to visit the house, the dishes were enough, but there was no appetizer, the daughter-in-law came back from drinking and said that she didn't buy braised beef, Shangfeng waved his hand and said that it was okay, and then he heard a noisy sound outside, but he didn't expect the problem of appetizers to be solved.
Did A-Yao do it on purpose?
Aunt Wang was thoughtful.
"Give. Ah Yao handed over the food box and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've done too much, and I can't finish it alone." On the way back, I met your daughter-in-law and went to the wine shop to drink, if you don't dislike it, you can accept the right to add a side dish. ”
Hi, how could it be. Aunt Wang overturned her own ideas.
Ah Yao closed the door, turned around and sat in a row with two dogs and one goose, she thought it was funny: "What are you doing, waiting to eat Guoguo? Chicken legs are indispensable to you." The small river shrimp is mine, and it has been given away, you eat vegetables. ”
"Gah!"
"Ga what, the opposition is invalid. Said that it was too good not to hit my field, and you trampled on my dish again, either you ate it or stewed yourself in an iron pot. ”
The white goose drooped his head, miserable, Ah Yao didn't care, and later he might grab food and fight with the dog.
Ah Yao hummed a little song and went back to the kitchen to fry her clams.
Aunt Wang said that she was afraid of offending the woman's son, and that he was an official.
Afraid, how not afraid.
She is helpless in Beijing, but his official position was bought, and he has no real power in his hands, which is true, and the petty official with real power in his hands is precisely the son of the aunt next door to her house.
Today's disturbance was unexpected, and it can be regarded as a rainy day. She can't do it for a long time in Sun Niang's foot shop, and when she is older, she will take orders when she is older, and there will be more people coming to her house in the future, and she can't ruin the business she sent to her door just because she has a mouth. With the intimidation and Aunt Wang's publicity, the aunt should not come to the door again in a short time, and it should be able to stop the gossip of a few people.
I think I'm in a better mood.
Garlic, ginger and shallots are stir-fried, and then leeks are added after the clams are fried, and finally salted, a plate of leeks and fried clams is done, which is super simple, that is, you have to let it spit out the sand in the early stage, otherwise the happiness of eating sand will be discounted. It's a pity that her fried river shrimp with leek flowers, the turquoise leek flowers and orange shrimp body look very attractive, the fried leek flowers with lard are crispy with a little sweetness, and a little meaty, although the river shrimp are small, they are very enjoyable to chew.
While eating fried clams with leeks, A-Yao missed the dish she sent out.
What about that dish, he successfully promoted the favor of the visit of Aunt Wang's house next door, he heard the complaint of the girl next door, and the next day the son of the aunt with a broken mouth was inexplicably beaten by "how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house", and almost sent home to think about it behind closed doors.
Pei Shuo thought about it all night, and even falling asleep was a dream of "inviting A-Yao to celebrate her birthday together a hundred times".
After waking up, he couldn't sleep anymore, got dressed and came to Ah Yao's house, sat under the banyan tree, and looked at the orange lamp on the door from afar.
At this time, before dawn, whose chickens crowed.
The tiles on the roof of Ah Yao's house cast a bright light, Pei Shuo stretched his neck, patted the banyan tree, stepped on the trunk of the tree with three or two feet, jumped on the branches, and saw her yard, the figure on the paper window walked back and forth, and not long after, Ah Yao walked out of the house, holding a lamp in one hand and a vegetable basket in her hand.
Pei Shuo hurriedly jumped off the tree, smoothed the wrinkles of his clothes, and paced under the banyan tree with a cough, looking for a place where A-Yao could notice him and recall the words he was ready.
The lantern illuminated the road ahead, and also made A-Yao find Pei Shuo standing on the side of the road under the tree, she exclaimed: "Pei Shuo, why are you here, it's so early, and you're not afraid of catching a cold?"
"When you see you off, it's still a snowy day, you're not afraid of the cold?" Pei Shuo's eyebrows were soft, and he spoke softly.
"That's the same, you're going to leave Nanxun at that time. I'm living in the capital for the time being, and I won't be leaving for a while, so you can come anytime. Approaching Pei Shuo and feeling the cold air on his body, A-Yao lost the idea of going to the fish market to buy river shrimp, took the person home first, probed left and right, quickly closed the door, entered the house, lit the fire and boiled the water, "In the future, you don't have to be afraid that others will see you coming over the wall, go to the gate normally, I will leave the door open, let's talk in the yard, and someone outside will not say anything when they see it." Are you in a hurry to come so early?"
"Nope. Pei Shuo shook his head, suddenly froze, his matter was urgent, and nodded again: "Yes, it's ......"
"Huh?"
The fire pit is burning, the pine branches make a crackling sound, occasionally sparks splash out, the orange-red fire reflects A-Yao's face, and the skin of the daughter's family is like a shelled egg, flawless and pink, and like an apple, red and want to take a bite......
The more I looked, the more I felt that my heart was beating like a war drum, and the sound was deafening, louder than a pine branch.
Pei Shuo didn't dare to look more, so he sat more and more upright, and moved his eyes away to Ah Yao's hand, her hand was completely away from the ten fingers of the onion root, and there were burn marks on the back of the hand, and she couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Pei Shuo, you've been here for a long time, what can I do to help?"
"That, on March 3, the Mingjin Pond, which is a royal garden, is open to the people, there are dragon boats and water swings, are you interested in going to see it together?"
Pei Shuo blurted out, as for the manuscript of the whole night, he forgot it completely.
Ah Yao was stunned, "Is this the case?"
"Yes. ”
She pretended to think, peeked at Pei Shuo, unexpectedly met his eyes, and turned her eyes away in shame, "Okay, let's go together that day." Anything else?"
“…… Without. ”
"Is there really none?" asked Ah Yao again.
"That day......" Pei Shuo didn't know how to speak, so he said it on that day, "It's nothing, let's make an appointment like this, and we will go to Mingjinchi together on March 3." ”
