Chapter 219: Gossip
When I arrived at the restaurant, before I entered the door, a middle-aged woman dressed as a salesman greeted them with a smile on her face and asked them what they wanted to eat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The children's eyes were green.
"Aunt Fang, this is good!" Li Cangzhu pulled the hem of Qingling's clothes.
"Sister Fangfang, can I ask for a bowl of laba porridge and a big meat bun?"
The other children also said that they didn't want peach blossom noodles anymore, and they asked for meat buns on top of Laba porridge.
Ying Fang knew that they wanted to save money for themselves, so she thought for a while and said, "That's it! One person has a bowl of laba porridge, a big meat bun, and two bowls of peach blossom noodles, let's share them." ”
"Good, good!"
"Two bowls of peach blossom noodles, ten bowls of laba porridge, ten large meat buns, a total of two pieces of two cents, and two taels of food stamps. The salesman crackled and dialed the abacus to quote the price.
Ying Fang paid the bill happily and asked casually: "Sister, has the restaurant diagonally opposite the supply and marketing cooperatives moved here?"
"Yes, the popularity over there is not as strong as here, and the store is not as spacious as here, so it needs to be repaired after a long time, so I just moved here. The salesman collected Yingfang's one catty, two taels of food stamps and two yuan and five cents, and after finding change, he led her to the two square tables by the window, "You ten, do you want to share the table?"
This service attitude is really much better than the fat woman in the old hotel.
"Why didn't that Wu Axiang in the old restaurant do it?" The customer sitting next door asked Ying Fang's doubts.
"She, she asked for leave for personal matters twice in three days, and the director wanted to fire her. The salesman glanced around, and saw that except for Yingfang and his party, the others were all regular customers, pretending to wipe the table, leaning on the square table and whispering gossip.
Ying Fang pricked up her ears to listen to them while eating. The gossip in the city, if you don't listen to it, you don't listen to it.
"I heard that her brother wants to marry an educated youth, isn't this a good thing, why doesn't she agree?
The salesman said with a mysterious expression of "you don't know this": "Of course it would be nice if it was really an ordinary educated youth, but you don't know, that educated youth, I heard that he made a big mistake, and now he is being criticized in the cowshed." Who would dare to ask such a daughter-in-law to enter the house. Partial to her stupid brother, not to say that he likes it, but also to go to the countryside to send food and clothing to the educated youth, Aunt Wu is old, she can't control him, so she looks for Sister Wu to come forward, Sister Wu is also afraid that her brother will ask such a woman to enter the door, which will affect her son's future affairs, isn't this a bar......"
Ying Fang and Feng Meiqin secretly looked at each other. The educated youth in these words, how familiar do they sound?
Then I heard another customer say: "How did I hear that the educated youth was introduced by the cadres of the Revolutionary Committee, and before the old restaurant was demolished, Wu Axiang told me very angrily that her brother was going to marry an educated youth from a big city.
"It's more real than real gold!" the salesman patted his chest and packed the ticket, "Sister Wu and her brother used the family's money to buy quilts and padded jackets for the female intellectual, and they were chased and scolded by Sister Wu, and everyone in the whole alley knows about this......"
"Shhhh ”
Wu Axiang had a gloomy face, stepped into the door of the hotel, crossed her waist with one hand, pointed at the salesman who took her place and scolded: "Don't be complacent......! Tell you, old lady, there are people in my Revolutionary Committee, and there are people in the government who know me, if I don't want to stay myself, this position will be your turn to be a poor three?"
The salesman was so angry that his face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to argue a few words, but was sprayed by Wu Axiang.
Ying Fang recognized this Wu Axiang as the salesman who used to work in a state-run hotel and looked at people with his nostrils at every turn. If the female intellectuals in their mouths are really Xu Dan, this is good, there is gossip every day.
"And you," she said, gesturing at the familiar customers, "don't think that the old lady doesn't know that you are talking about my brother, tell you! My brother will never marry that educated young man with a problematic style! The person who closes the cowshed still wants to enter my house?"
"Sister Wu, that's it. According to me, if your brother divorces and remarries, the girl should be content if he is willing to marry. Do you have to mess up your brother's marriage like you did last time, and you're not happy?" the salesman stabbed her with something to say.
She was not wrong, the reason why Wu Weimin's marriage came to the step of divorce last time was really inseparable from his eldest sister Wu Axiang. If it weren't for Wu Axiang to sow discord and Aunt Wu didn't like her daughter-in-law's horizontal and vertical looks, the two would not have quarreled for three days, and they would simply divorce after the quarrel.
This matter was counted by the nearby residents, but it was just in the face of the neighbors and did not say it explicitly. Now that the salesman who was half a round younger than her said, Wu Axiang seemed to have been stabbed in the heart, and she jumped to her feet angrily and scolded: "Roar! What does it mean to be content? The people who close the cowshed want to marry into my family, and they don't want me to say a few words? Do you want to beat gongs and drums to welcome her into the door?
"You're married...... " I don't know who at the bottom answered weakly.
"What's wrong with getting married? A daughter who gets married can't take care of her mother's family affairs? My father died early, my mother can't take care of it alone, and my brother was brought up by me with a handful of and urine, so why can't I meddle when he gets married? If the other party is really a knowledgeable person, can I not support it? If I am sent to the broken commune on the other side of the river, I can still make such and such ugly things, it can be seen that I am very good at doing things on weekdays, how can this kind of person enter my mother's house? My brother is the director of a food factory, how can he marry such a woman and enter the door......
"Isn't it the deputy director?"
"Oh, what are you doing so clearly! It's all the director anyway!"
“……”
At this time, Yingfang is 100% sure that the female intellectuals who Wu Axiang scolded must be Xu Dan who will not be wrong.
"Tsk! This world is so small! Eating a bowl of noodles can meet Xu Dan's future eldest sister. Feng Meiqin took a sip of peach noodle soup and slammed it.
"Sister Meiqin, who are you talking about?" Ergouzi put down his stomach with a bowl of laba porridge sprinkled with white sugar, stroked his little belly with satisfaction, and asked curiously with a wink.
"Eat yours! What are you doing listening to this? I want to learn from the third aunt and the sixth woman to chew the root of the tongue!" Feng Meiqin picked up the big meat bun that the second dog was reluctant to eat and wanted to take home, and gagged his mouth.
Seeing that the restaurant was getting more and more noisy, and there were even signs of fighting, Yingfang urged the children to eat quickly, wiped their mouths after eating, and quickly left this whirlpool of right and wrong.
Taking the ferry back to the other side of the river, the children who lived nearby said goodbye to Yingfang and Meiqin one after another. Carrying a chubby snakeskin bag on his shoulder, he can't have fun if he wants to, so he might as well go home first.
