89. Chapter 89
The old woman's surprised look made the people around her wonder.
The old grandmother was angry that he brought the living person to the house? This is Xiao He's idea.
"Mother-in-law knows these two skewer sellers?"
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Liang has always spoken directly, and he definitely doesn't waste brain cells if he can solve things face-to-face.
"This little ...... Oh no, he's the one who sells skewers? You're not mistaken?"
The man who pointed the old woman's finger was Ji Boming.
"Old grandmother, this man is indeed a small one, and if you don't want to see him, I'll let them pack up and go away at once. ”
This Xiao He's little heart was so frightened that it was beating wildly.
Who is the biggest in this family, over there is this old woman in front of her, the living king of Hades!
If she is angry, saying a word is worth a hundred words from the master, even the young master in front of her has to be polite to this old lady!
Ji Boming didn't know why, his quiet eyes were cold, and he looked directly at the old woman who had been looking at him intently.
I secretly wondered why the woman in front of me was looking at her like this, could it be that she knew herself, or who did she look too much like her......
Leng Xiaoxi had the same idea as Ji Boming, and she even thought about whether she was going to take out the silver ingot of fifty taels later, or how she would deal with it if she was kicked out of the house by such a family.
"Grandma, what the hell are you ......doing here" Xiao Liang walked in front of his grandmother, looked at her, turned around and looked at Ji Boming, who was also looking at his grandmother.
Do they know?
"Xiao Liang, you call this person over, I have a few words to ask him. ”
I see, it's just a matter of asking a few words from the lame man who sells meat skewers.
Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief, his expression recovered, and he pointed at Ji Boming and said, "Didn't you hear? The old woman has something to ask you, why don't you hurry over." ”
When Ji Boming heard this, his expression sank, as if he was reluctant.
"You boy, why are you like this, are you deaf, or are you dumb? You should be honored that the old woman can ask you a few words. Xiao He's face stammered and wagged his tail, which was disgusting.
Ji Boming glanced at Xiao He with disdain, and said coldly: "I came here to sell meat skewers, not to be asked, and you are not a lobby here, besides, I am a good citizen, and I didn't make a mistake." ”
Ji Boming's words that didn't go on were that even if you make a mistake, it won't be your turn to teach you a lesson.
Xiao He was sarcastically ridiculed by Ji Boming for no reason, his face turned white, and he was extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't find the words to play a round for himself for a while.
Where the old woman stood, looking at the awe-inspiring Bo Ming, nodded secretly, and muttered, "Like, like, his arrogance is getting more and more like." ”
"Grandma, what are you talking about? What does it look like, why can't I understand?" Xiao Liang frowned, his face suspicious.
"It's right that you kid doesn't understand, why don't you help me over. ”
Seeing his grandmother like this, Xiao Liang had to stretch out his hand and help the old woman to come to Ji Boming's face step by step.
"Little brother, this is my grandmother. ”
Ji Boming saw that the old woman's eyes were shining, and he looked at himself for a moment, there was no malice in his eyes, there was the kind of fiery that he saw his relatives, so he bent down at the old woman.
"Hello old woman, little Ji Boming has given the old woman a gift. ”
"Get up quickly, you may have tormented the old woman with such a courtesy. The old woman stepped forward tremblingly, helped Ji Boming up with her own hands, looked at the durian on his face, looked at it one by one, and said again and again in her mouth.
"Like, really like, this eyebrow, this eye, this nose, this mouth, this body is undoubtedly not ......"
The old woman trembled eagerly, and when she blurted out who she looked like, she suddenly stopped her speech.
"Grandma, what's the matter, one by one, like, like, who is this kid like, you say!"
The person who spoke was Xiao Yan, Xiao Liang's eldest sister.
"Shut up, I don't allow you to be so unreasonable, let alone call this man a boy. Fang Cai's eager face was as cold as ice for a moment, and even those eyes became sharp.
Xiao Yan was reprimanded by her grandmother in front of so many people, and her eyes were red with grievances.
You must know that no one in the family dares to speak to Xiao Yan, who is able to write and martial arts in the Xiao family, and Xiao Yan, who is familiar with poetry and books, when did Xiao Yan, who was spoiled since childhood, receive this.
"Mother......" Xiao Yan threw herself into her mother's arms and sobbed.
The whole family was stunned on the spot, and no one dared to say a word.
Whoever has the audacity to provoke an old woman to be angry and angry, isn't this looking for death, what is it......
"Old woman, you may have recognized the wrong person, sit down first, I heard that you like to eat our barbecued meat skewers the most, we will bake them for you, this freshly grilled hot meat skewer is more delicious." ”
Leng Xiaoxi came out smartly and played a round with a smile.
What are they here for, aren't they here to make money? To tell the truth, she doesn't want to spit out the money she has already received.
Who called her really poor now, besides, they rely on their crafts to eat, and earn hard-earned money, although this money is too easy to earn today.
Leng Xiaoxi even thought about returning the extra silver, leaving only the labor fees for their door-to-door visits.
When Leng Xiaoxi spoke, the old woman turned her face and looked straight at Leng Xiaoxi with profound eyes.
"Who are you?"
"I'm ......" Leng Xiaoxi glanced at Ji Boming, her face turned red first, and she plucked up her courage.
"I'm his daughter-in-law. ”
"......Daughter-in-law? He's married...... Married you ugly bastard. ”
The old woman's eyes were frightened, and her tone was sharp, what she said really didn't give Leng Xiaoxi face at all.
was called an ugly monster to her face, although Leng Xiaoxi knew that she was paralyzed and ugly, but when she was told on her face, she looked embarrassed and stood stiff.
"Old woman, although our daughter-in-law is not beautiful when we meet for the first time, I look pleasing to the eye and am satisfied, I ...... I won't let you say that about him. ”
Ji Boming's expression was awe-inspiring, his eyes were like torches, and he didn't give the old woman face at all.
The old woman's face turned red with a shocked look.
"Bold, I don't allow you to say that, old woman, who are you, this is the territory of the Xiao family, we won't buy your meat skewers, return the silver, take your things, and get out of here." ”
Xiao He was righteous and awe-inspiring, and said mightily.
"That's right, although your meat skewers are delicious, you can't be so unreasonable in this realm. "The person who spoke was Madame, Xiao Liang's mother-in-law.
"That's right, your meat skewers are just delicious, and now we won't eat them, so pack up your things and get out of here. ”
Just because Xiao Yan said such a sentence, he was reprimanded by his grandmother for no reason, and his heart was angry, and now he has found an outlet all of a sudden.
"Who told you to talk too much, dead girl, I don't allow you to treat him like this. ”
Although she was not sure of anything in her heart, the faint feeling in her heart made the old woman absolute, and she must not despise the person in front of her.
was scolded by his grandmother for the second time, Xiao Yanzai couldn't stand it, chopped his feet, covered his face, and ran to the backyard crying.
"Sister, what are you doing? Didn't you say that you like to eat this meat skewer the most?"
Although Xiao Ran was reluctant, she saw her sister crying like that, so she could only follow and shout and run back.
The old woman saw that the two girls had run away, and her face was full of apologies, and she said to Ji Boming.
"The tutoring is not strict, which makes you laugh. ”
"Where, where, I have no rules and no distance, seeing you say this, she is angry for a while, and she has no words, and I hope the old woman will forgive me. ”
When Ji Boming saw the old woman talking like this, his heart was dissipated, and he bent down slightly, and said to the old woman.
The old woman who had already sat down saw Ji Boming and hurriedly got up.
"Little official, don't do this quickly, don't mess with the rules and break the old woman. ”
After a period of inexplicable greetings, the old woman said that Ji Boming was not allowed to do anything, but insisted on Leng Xiaoxi grilling those meat skewers.
Leng Xiaoxi gritted her teeth in anger, but for the ingot of silver, she endured it.
The smell wafted through the courtyard, and the aroma of the meat skewers wafted over the high walls.
On this street, all the people who lived were prominent and wealthy, and some people smelled the aroma and came to ask what it tasted like, and the little man who guarded the door answered everyone.
"Ahem, wait for Ming'er, let's invite them home to roast too. ”
Ten catties of beef and mutton, but it was roasted in three or two hours, Leng Xiaoxi was busy and hot with sweating, Ji Boming wanted to come over to help several times, but was stopped by the old woman.
The old woman's interest was very high, and while eating, she chatted with Ji Boming about homely things.
After all, the old woman is a living person, and Ji Boming did not tell him that he was the adopted son of the You family in Xingshan Village, but only said that he went to the team at the age of twelve, and later was injured and lame.
"What? Your leg is lame. The old woman was shocked.
"Don't worry, I'll ask a doctor to come to your house to treat your leg in the next few days. The old woman said.
"How can this be, you and I are not related, I don't understand, why you are so good to me. Ji Boming told the truth.
At this question, the old woman's eyes were soft and long, and she looked at one place and was speechless for a long time.
"This is probably the so-called fate!"
All the meat skewers were grilled, and the old woman was talking and eating a lot, and she was in good spirits.
Leng Xiaoxi saw that the old woman's interest was very good, so he volunteered to take some meat skewers, went to the backyard, asked a few people, learned where the boudoir of the two young ladies was, knocked on the door and went in, and handed the meat skewers in his hand to the two young ladies who were still angry.
"The old man is old, don't be angry when we are young, you see she said that I am ugly, I don't take care of it, you are her granddaughter, what else can't be treated. ”
In a few words, the two girls unconsciously became filthy.
I didn't expect that a woman who sells meat skewers in the countryside has such a mind, and what else do they have to worry about as the granddaughter of an old woman.
The two of them ate fragrant meat skewers, and naturally, they had a good impression of Leng Xiaoxi.
Xu is because of age, Leng Xiaoxi also consciously talked with these two girls very happily, but after a while, everyone hated to get up late.
"Are you coming to town tomorrow?" Xiao Yan asked.
"This is nature, food and clothing are the foundation of human beings, we don't sell meat skewers to make a living. ”
Growing up in a honeypot, a girl from an official family, who knows the sufferings of others, but after listening to Leng Xiaoxi's words, the two of them seem to have an epiphany.
Seeing that the two girls were not angry, Leng Xiaoxi said goodbye to them and came out, Ji Boming had already packed his things, where are we waiting for her.
"Old woman, here is the silver given by the Kai family, our meat skewers are not worth so much money, you can take back the silver ingots, and exchange them for broken silver for us. Leng Xiaoxi put the ingot of silver on the table where the old woman was sitting.
When the old woman saw it, the look of appreciation immediately overflowed on her face.
"You deserve it, I don't think it's a lot of silver. She said, glancing at Qinglian, and said, "Go to my house and get another hundred taels." ”
It was too much, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this, Leng Xiaoxi was stunned on the spot.
After a while, Na Qinglian took out two ingots of silver and put them together with the ingots of silver.
The old woman took the three ingots and stood up.
"When we met for the first time, I felt that there was a fate, you should take these three ingots of silver, if you don't want to shirk it, it will be a slap in the face of my old woman. ”
"How can this be, we don't get it for nothing, and we don't have peace of mind. ”
Xiao Liang has been standing on the side, and when he saw that this side was pushing hard, he smiled and walked over.
"Don't push, this silver is grandma's mind, if you feel uneasy, why don't you come to the house a few times a month, bring meat skewers over, just to relieve our gluttony, so that you take the silver, we will have meat skewers in the future, isn't it the best of both worlds." ”
"It's still a great solution, stinky boy, you have a lot of eyes, ghosts. ”
The old woman was very happy to see Ji Boming more justifiably in the future.
Since Xiao Liang said this, the method is excellent, Leng Xiaoxi and Ji Boming have more ways to make money, and they are both happy, why not do it!
They said goodbye to the old woman's family, and when they came out of Xiao's house, it was already afternoon.
Leng Xiaoxi took the burden, Ji Boming followed, and the two of them came to the butcher shop.
"I heard that you went to Xiao's house?"
The town is not big, and the little things that are big are known to everyone, Leng Xiaoxi Ji Boming smiled.
"Yes, the skewers are gone. ”
"How much meat do you want today?" the shopkeeper naturally did not forget his duty.
"Today the same costs fifteen pounds. Leng Xiaoxi took a step ahead of Ji Boming.
When Ji Boming heard Leng Xiaoxi like this, his face was naturally happy, he had long thought about buying more beef and mutton and grilling skewers for the brothers today.
After cutting thirty catties of beef and mutton, Leng Xiaoxi wanted to pay for silver.
"You don't have much money for today. The fat shopkeeper smiled heartily.
"Give us silver?"
"You shouldn't have forgotten the wild boar thing, right?"
The fat shopkeeper said this, and the two of them suddenly cared about being happy today, and forgot the wild boar meat that was put on his bunk in the morning.
"The wild boar in the morning is two hundred and twenty-three pounds, I bought twenty yuan for one pound, which is four hundred and fifty-six dollars, the fifteen pounds of beef are three hundred and seventy-five dollars, and the fifteen pounds of mutton are four hundred and fifty dollars, you should pay me three hundred and sixty-nine dollars, and today you buy a lot, you just need to give me another three hundred and sixty dollars." ”
The account of this business person came quickly, Leng Xiaoxi took out the broken silver before, paid the bill, handed the little charcoal and stove left to the fat shopkeeper, and left with the meat.
When she came, the pork was already so tired that Leng Xiaoxi couldn't do it, and now she was cooking so many meat skewers at Xiao's house, and she was tired to the limit of what her body could bear.
Ji Boming felt sorry for Xiaoxi, took the meat, and the two of them went to the nearest money village, Leng Xiaoxi took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver and exchanged it for some broken silver.
They went to the rice shop and bought a bag of refined white rice, a bag of refined white noodles, and a bag of brown rice.
Then, Leng Xiaoxi went to the cloth village to buy a few pieces of blue cloth, a few colors of women's fabric, she and Ji Boming couldn't only wear those two sets of clothes every day, and those brothers from the house, she thought about changing their clothes twice.
They must not be allowed to wear the uniforms of the army every day, wandering around the village all day long, making people look cautious and panic.
Some pots and pots were all over the place, and vegetables, grains, and soybean oil were piled up in a pile, the meat, and the cloth.
The two of them looked at the things in this place and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Why don't we hire a carriage and go back. Ji Boming proposed.
"Why hire a carriage, why don't we buy one ourselves. Leng Xiaoxi's tone was still a little hesitant when she spoke, and in the end, her eyes lit up.
"Boming, the carriage is too expensive, why don't we buy a donkey first, and then a cart frame, so that it will be much more convenient for us to come to the town in the future. ”
"Why do you have to buy a donkey instead of a horse?" Ji Boming was puzzled.
"A horse eats a lot of forage, and a donkey is much easier to raise, and besides, we don't want to spend so much money on it at the moment, and a donkey cart is enough for us to go back and forth. ”
Leng Xiaoxi is right, a set of carriages costs about fifty taels of silver, and the price of a donkey cart is only one-third of the carriage, that is to say, they only need to spend a dozen taels of silver to buy a donkey cart back.
"That's a good idea, that's it. Ji Boming agreed with a smile.
"You wait here and watch things, I'll go to the donkey market and the car market to have a look, and I'll be back soon. ”
Looking at Ji Boming's excited face, Leng Xiaoxi smiled knowingly, only in the past few days, this big boy has matured a lot all of a sudden, and more importantly, he has become a lot more well-behaved and obedient.
After a while, Ji Boming happily drove a donkey cart back.
This is a beautiful little donkey with black hair, white beak and four hooves, behind the donkey, the cart pulled is obviously new, and the white wooden frame still has a wooden fragrance.
"Look at this donkey cart, you like it. Ji Boming asked her with bright eyes.
"Yes, yes, of course I like it, I will also have a car family in the future, and this donkey jeep is the starting point for a new life. ”
"Someone with a car?" is a new term, but what does that donkey jeep mean?
Ji Boming looked at his ugly daughter-in-law in a daze, fell into the clouds, and was confused again.
Leng Xiaoxi saw Ji Boming's blank face, smiled helplessly, facing an ancient, even if she explained clearly what a jeep was, how much could he understand, if this was the case, he must still be scared by himself.
