Chapter 69: Cousin of the Fu Family
The three of them discussed it and went to the Fu family rice shop first. Uncle Fu was sitting behind the counter to settle accounts, and when he heard someone shouting "uncle", he hurriedly raised his head and saw Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu. He put down the abacus in his hand, and while coming out of the counter, he asked, "Min Wen Min Wu, why are you two here? Is it that your father beat you two again?"
Wei Minwen hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, yes, it's our ......" He hesitated and looked at Wei Minwu.
Wei Minwu grinned, leaned next to Uncle Fu, and whispered, "Uncle, we came here today because we want to ask you for a favor." ”
Uncle Fu knew that his two nephews were extremely naughty, and when his sister-in-law was there, there was still a constraint, and after his sister-in-law went, his brother-in-law didn't have any time to take care of the children at all, but only hurriedly married the bride-in-law, which made the two children more and more lawless. He only has this one girl, so he has to worry about it for her. As soon as he heard Wei Minwu say that he had something to ask for, his intuition was by no means easy, and the two sheep's mustaches on his lips couldn't help but tremble. "What's the matter?"
Wei Minwu leaned close to Uncle Fu's ear and told Uncle Fu about the mushroom they were going to sell. When Uncle Fu heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted: "Selling mushrooms, Min Wen Min Wu, tell me, did your father let you two come over?"
Uncle Fu's heart was on fire, there was just such a street in Zhanghe Town, and Wei Yunhai sent mushrooms to the grocery store to sell, and he naturally heard about it. If Wei Yunhai was present, he would have scolded him for being a bloody dog! What is it! If he can't handle it himself, let the two children come out! Expect him to help speak for the sake of the children, he is so good. Why did he fall in love with such a person in the first place?
Wei Minwu smiled and stopped. said, "Uncle, my father still doesn't know what to do." Our brother and sister came out without him. ”
Uncle Fu heard Wei Minwu say the word brother and sister. Only then did I find that in addition to Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu, there was also a little girl in her teens standing in the rice shop. Although the clothes are not obvious, they are also clean and tidy, and they are also beautiful, and they carry a large backpack on their backs that do not match their bodies, and they are smiling, standing quietly by the door.
Uncle Fu was slightly stunned, although he had seen Zhang Xing a year ago, he only glanced at it in a hurry at that time, and he couldn't remember it clearly. I saw Zhang Xing now. felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that she was the daughter brought by Wei Yunhai's mother-in-law.
Uncle Fu's face couldn't help but turn a little colder, although he was a quick temper, he was also a little arrogant, and he couldn't do anything about being angry with the child. After glancing at Zhang Xing coldly, he put it aside, pulled Wei Minwu to the other side, and asked, "Min Wu." Didn't your dad tell you to come here?"
"Uncle, what am I lying to you about?" said Wei Minwu, "My father really doesn't know what happened to us, he works part-time at the docks these days." My uncle also knew about our family. To tell you the truth, our family can't open the pot now. If we weren't, we wouldn't be selling the mushrooms we picked. ”
Uncle Fu looked at Wei Minwen carefully. It doesn't feel like he's telling a lie. In fact, he also knows a little about the situation of the Wei family. is just that five acres of land, raising six people. Last year was another year of great disaster, and the family had no savings at all except for an empty house, and I heard that I still borrowed money for the New Year. If he didn't know this, he wouldn't have paid out of his own pocket for his two nephews to study.
Wei Minwen Wei Min Wu Zhilu Dao thought about his livelihood, Uncle Fu still felt very relieved in his heart, and felt that the two nephews had grown up a little after all. However, he is a businessman in the end, and he still knows a lot about the situation in Zhanghe Town. This Zhanghe town is just a small town, and one year the mushrooms ate the dead and the word was so good that the mushrooms, which were already unpopular, were regarded as flood beasts.
Uncle Fu shook his head, pointed to the basket on Zhang Xing's back, and said, "This can't be sold." You better go back, I'll let Chunlai drive you back in a while, and bring some food back by the way, after you two go back, remember to study hard!" After speaking, he had to call Hu Chun, a guy in the store, to load the rice and set the car.
"Uncle!" Wei Minwu hurriedly grabbed Uncle Fu, "We have eaten this mushroom several times, and it really doesn't matter, if you don't give it a try, how can you know that Lu Dao will not be able to sell it?" Uncle, can you do a favor? We can't always rely on you to help." ”
Uncle Fu was stunned, he was also a person who came from the south and north, he had seen people eating mushrooms outside, and he knew that some of these mushrooms could be eaten, but Zhanghe Town was a small place, and he had eaten people to death, and now no one dared to touch this thing. However, Wei Minwu is also telling the truth, he really can't afford to help the six members of the Wei family, of course, except for two nephews, he is not willing to help others at all.
Uncle Fu was hesitating whether to take the two nephews to his house, when the cotton curtain at the back door of the rice shop was lifted, and Uncle Fu pulled a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Xianglian and his father, I think Min Wu is right! If you don't give it a try, how do you know that things will not work out?"
Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu saw the comer, and called out separately, "Uncle, sister Xianglian." Wei Minwu turned to the other side of Aunt Fu, sat down with a smile, and squeezed his eyes at his cousin Fu Xianglian.
Fu Xianglian pursed her lips and smiled, revealing two pear vortices, ran over to pinch his father's shoulder, and also said: "Dad, didn't Zhu comprador from Juyuan Building still complain in our rice shop yesterday, saying that he couldn't buy good vegetables at this time? Let's send this mushroom over, maybe it just solves their problem!"
Uncle Fu was still hesitating, frowning, and replied to Fu Xianglian: "Adults talk, how can you interject?
Fu Xianglian's mouth couldn't help but deflat, and she gave Wei Minwu a look, signaling that she had opened her mouth to help, but the effect was not good, she didn't dare to say it anymore, and if she continued to talk about it, her father, an old-fashioned man, would not allow her to go out.
Wei Minwu understood, coughed lightly, rolled his eyes, glanced at the teapot on the table, immediately poured a cup, and brought it to Uncle Fu with a smile, "Uncle drink tea!"
Uncle Fu glanced at Wei Minwu with a smile, and said to Uncle Fu: "Okay, don't worry about it, anyway, if you want to deliver them today, let's take them over to try your luck." It's still an old saying, if you don't go, how do you know if others want it?"
A few people took turns to fight, so that Uncle Fu finally nodded, asked his partner Hu Chunlai to carry the rice, and led Wei Minwen and Wei Min Wuzhang Xing to the back door of Juyuan Building.
Fu Xianglian saw Zhang Xing for the first time, first Zhang Xing stood by the door without saying a word, she didn't pay attention, she just thought which one bought the rice, and now she saw Zhang Xing following closely behind her two cousins, as soon as she went out, Wei Minwen also took over Zhang Xing's back basket.
Fu Xianglian looked at Zhang Xing's distant back, and hurriedly called her mother over, pointed to Zhang Xing's back, and asked, "Mother, who is she?"
Aunt Fu saw Zhang Xing first, but Uncle Fu ignored her, so she didn't see it. Wei Yunhai married that mother-in-law, but she heard that she was not a virtuous lady. If you don't have a mother, this daughter is no better.
"Oh, she's the girl brought by your aunt's mother-in-law who came in the door. Aunt Fu looked at Zhang Xing's back and said.
Fu Xianglian looked at Zhang Xingyuan's back and blinked, and said, "Mother, she can go, and I want to see it too." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Aunt Fu to speak, and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Fu Xianglian ran to Wei Minwen's side and shouted with a smile: "Cousin." His eyes passed through Wei Minwen and looked at Zhang Xing.
Wei Minwen was stunned for a moment, "Xianglian, why are you here?" Wei Minwu heard the movement behind him, turned his head and saw Fu Xianglian, and his eyes widened. Fu Xianglian pointed at Uncle Fu and signaled him not to make a sound.
Uncle Fu concentrated on leading the way in front, and didn't realize that his daughter had followed. The group soon arrived at the back door of the Juyuan Building. Chunlai called the door, and the old man who opened the door knew the shopkeeper of the Fu family's rice shop, and knew that he was sending food. Lead them into the backyard.
"Yo, Shopkeeper Fu personally sent rice. He comprador of Juyuan Lou said with a smile.
Uncle Fu asked Chunlai to carry the rice to the kitchen, and he pulled the comprador He aside and whispered, "Lao He, I have something here, I don't know if you want it?"
"What is it?" asked the comprador with a smile.
Uncle Fu asked Wei Minwu to bring the back basket on his body, and when He comprador saw it, he immediately laughed, "Shopkeeper Fu, are you joking with me?
Uncle Fu's face was a little unbearable, but he still nodded. He comprador smiled and waved his hand, "Isn't the shopkeeper Fu ignorant of the situation in our town? No, shopkeeper Fu, it's useless for me to ask for this thing, I can't accept it. ”
Wei Minwu couldn't help it, and came out of the crowd, shouting: "Who said you can't eat this thing? I don't know how many times I've eaten it, and it's not good to eat it?"
He comprador turned his head to look at Uncle Fu and asked, "This is ......?"
Uncle Fu glared at Wei Minwu and said with a smile, "This is my nephew." Lao He, the friendship between you and me is not a day or two, we don't say dark words, you and I both know that this thing is rarely used in our Zhanghe Town, but it is used by many people outside, and only people who don't know the goods regard this thing as a poisonous thing. The goods in my nephew's basket, they have eaten too many times, and they are definitely edible. ”
He comprador glanced at the things in the back basket, and said with a smile: "Of course I believe what the shopkeeper Fu said." However, I still can't accept this thing, this is eaten outside, but it is not eaten in our Zhanghe Town, and it is useless for me to ask for it!"
Wei Minwu couldn't help it again, and shouted: "Uncle, who said that no one will eat this thing when it is made into a dish? That's what you can't do! I, my sister-in-law's rabbit meat and mushrooms are delicious, and everyone loves to eat ......them."
"Min Wu!" Uncle Fu's face sank, and Wei Minwu couldn't help but shrink his neck and retreated.
He comprador glanced at Wei Minwu with a smile, and was about to speak, when suddenly a voice interjected: "Rabbit meat and roasted mushrooms? This dish is the first time I've heard of it." Is it really that delicious? I'm going to try it. ”
Zhang Xing turned his head, and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy walking out from under the eaves with a smile on his face, and the early spring sun jumped on him all of a sudden, as if gilding him with a layer of golden luster, which contrasted with the warm smile on his handsome face, so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.
