Chapter 30: Ordinary and Impermanent

Carrying all the things he bought when he came, Yue Xi took out a few fresh pears from the basket and put them on the table: "I'll go out, wash and wash when you eat, don't be lazy." ”

"Yes." The little ledger quickly stood up and replied.

"Let's divide it." snatched the basket from Yue Xi's hand, Du Sanniang snatched an oiled paper bag tied with hemp rope from her hand and hooked it on her finger, took a new umbrella and followed Yue Xi out of the yard.

"Why is the dog so sick?" The rain kept falling, and the dirt road in Xixiang Village had been covered with mud, and it was slippery when walking on it. The two men walked side by side, both slowing down.

"I can't figure out what to say about her illness." Yue Xi shook her head, thinking of Ying Fei's words, her heart tightened.

"She has a body now...... Yuexi said.

"Really?" Du Sanniang was very happy, and her voice was especially loud: "Last time I went, she still liked the girl, and I want to add a sister to the dog in the future, now she is happy!" ”

Yue Xi grinned and smiled, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

She didn't tell Zheng Baocai about the Zheng family's lady, since it is already such a result, let this family live happily, why bother to tell the truth and make people block.

"Hey!" Du Sanniang turned her face to Yue Xi and asked, "These things are what we bought." ”

"No, I don't. Not much money. Yue Xi whispered to her.

"It's not about money!" Du Sanniang glared: "Since the two of us are going together, we have to spend money together!" If you don't give the dog a pear to eat later, you have to say, 'Dog, eat pears, this is what your uncle bought from your uncle!' ’…… How ugly do you say? ”

"There's a lot to do." Yue Xi shook his head and walked in front of her: "Let's go out of the village and call a carriage." ”

"What's the matter! It's a reason! Du Sanniang said stubbornly, and held the umbrella around her neck, and freed one hand to touch her sleeve...... After a while, she whispered, "I've forgotten to bring the silver......

"Haha!" Yue Xi turned back to her and smiled: "These things are all yours, right?" ”

……

After leaving Xixiang Village and going to the official road, Yuexi hired a donkey cart and went directly to Zheng Baocai's house.

knocked on the door, but it was Zheng Baocai's old father who opened the door.

As soon as Father Zheng saw Yue Xi, he turned around and said happily: "Hou Sheng, you are the great benefactor of our Zheng family!" ”

Yue Xi was stunned for a moment, looked sideways and saw the lady of the Zheng family with a scorched face sitting at the door of the bedroom and smiling at herself!

"Sister-in-law, can you get up here?" It seems that Yingfei's medical skills should not be underestimated!

"I took medicine last night, and I woke up in less than half an hour, and I lay down for many days, and my body hurt from lying down." The lady of the Zheng family leaned on the door frame and wanted to get up to salute Yue Xi and thank her, but was stopped by Zheng Baocai, who was squatting on the side: "You just sit down, your brother, it's not interesting to say that foreign way!" ”

"That's right." Yue Xi smiled and entered the yard, and saw Zheng Baocai squatting under the eaves to pluck chicken feathers, and the chicken he had just killed was scalded with boiling water and steaming, he was not too hot, holding two chicken paws in one hand and pulling chicken feathers down one by one, while his son was squatting in front of the wooden basin to watch the excitement, and he watched it quite seriously, and even the guests did not wait to look back when they entered the yard, but it made people see the little butt exposed in his open crotch pants at a glance!

"Yo, dog, look who's coming!" Seeing Du Sanniang following behind Yue Xi, the lady of the Zheng family struggled to get up again: "Sister, you haven't been to the house for a few days......

"You are ......" The sick and out of shape of the Zheng family, Du Sanniang didn't dare to admit it.

Hearing the other party's voice again, she was stunned in the courtyard.

"Son of a, why did you lose weight like this!" Carrying things up the steps in a few steps, first put down the umbrella, and then threw the things in his hand directly on the table in the room, Du Sanniang approached the lady of the Zheng family, first looked at her face for a while, and then stretched out her arms to hug her and cried: "I heard that the driver said that you are happy, you look at how thin you are, how smart we were in the past......

Zheng Baocai sighed, looked back and saw two old ladies hugging each other crying, feeling that the eaves were too narrow, and walked to the kitchen with a wooden basin.

The dog held a handful of long chicken feathers in his hand, and also got up and ran after his father to the kitchen: "Daddy...... Chicken ......**......"

Yue Xi hurriedly walked over and put the umbrella on top of the child's head, the little boy stopped, looked up at the tung oil umbrella and looked at Yue Xi, seemed to be entangled, raised his hand and handed her the chicken feathers: "Change it......"

"Good!" Yue Xi bent down and smiled at him and handed him the umbrella in his hand.

The tung oil umbrella is very heavy, the little boy can't hold it with one hand, he can't catch it after trying a few times, the little guy is anxious, the chicken feather in his right hand is thrown to the ground, and the two hands are holding the umbrella handle, Yue Xi let go of his hand, and saw that he could still stand firm on the ground and quickly walked into the kitchen.

There was no clean place in the kitchen, and Yue Xi felt a headache after just looking at it!

"Hehe, it's so dirty! Brother won't clean up ......" Zheng Baocai, who was squatting at the door and continued to clean up the chicken, smiled at Yue Xi and then said: "Last night, the prince of the county sent someone to deliver the medicine, just three pairs, your sister-in-law woke up after only taking one decoction of the medicine, it's really god!" ”

Yue Xi put all the things in his hand on the stove and said softly: "My sister-in-law has a body, give her whatever she wants to eat, don't save it." Is there enough silver? I've heard that it's quite expensive to buy ice. ”

"Enough!" Zheng Baocai nodded, got up, picked up the cleaned chicken in one hand, and poured the water in the courtyard with the other hand, which immediately attracted a panting scolding from the Zheng family's lady: "Slacker!" Look at the chicken feathers in this place, they are all pasted to the door, and how dirty it is for those who come out and go in to step on it! ”

"Look, it's okay, isn't it?" Zheng Baocai filled the cold water again to wash the chicken inside and out, he ignored the lady's scolding and whispered to Yue Xi: "She lay down for a few days and didn't say anything." Now my brother listens to your sister-in-law scolding

Now my brother is really comfortable listening to your sister-in-law's scolding......"

The lady of the Zheng family scolded a few words, and when she saw that Zheng Baocai completely ignored herself, she also shut up, and still chatted weakly with Du Sanniang, who was sitting next to her, and felt very happy: "Sister, this gown on your body is so beautiful!" Take advantage of your handsome appearance......"

"I bought this material in the city when I entered the summer, I fell in love with it at a glance, I bought a lot, and there was still a surplus at home, waiting for me to make it for you, and you look good in it! My sister has a body, so she takes care of it, and she leaves the needlework and everything to me, and I do it fast! ”

Du Sanniang's blistered eyes were swollen from crying, and she wiped her tears while talking to the Zheng family's lady.

"Look at you, the ...... with shallow eye sockets" The lady of the Zheng family took out a dirty handkerchief from her sleeve cage and wiped it on Du Sanniang's big face a few times, before she whispered: "Sister, I want to eat chicken, you cook deliciously, my dog father can't cook......"

"You wait, I'll do it!" Du Sanniang rubbed her hands on her face and immediately got up, and saw the dog in the yard walking crookedly like an umbrella and a big mushroom, she walked over and snatched the umbrella from the child's hand: "Go play with your mother, don't tread water!" Look at these wet shoes! ”

The good things that he just got in his hand were taken away, and the little thing pouted, only then did he open his mouth and howl, and was carried into the kitchen by Du Sanniang and handed it to Zheng Baocai: "You all go out, I'll cook." ”

"That'...... That's embarrassing...... As a result, Zheng Baocai, the son of the ghost crying wolf, raised his hand and slapped his buttocks, and then said politely to Du Sanniang, who was frowning and looking in the kitchen: "How can you say that you are also guests......"

"Get out of here!" The chaos in the kitchen has exceeded Du Sanniang's patience, and she rolled up her sleeves while impatiently bombarding people: "This is dirty...... Dirtier than a pigsty! ”

Zheng Baocai and Yue Xi went out of the kitchen together, put their son on the ground again, and the little thing immediately stopped crying and ran towards the two umbrellas placed under the eaves.

"Let's go into the house......" Zheng Baocai, who was a little embarrassed with an old face, wiped his hands on his clothes, and beckoned Yue Xi to sit in the main house: "Brother, the prince of the county said that he and you want the medical fee, so I won't say anything, but yesterday's three pairs of medicine money had to be paid by my brother, and then your silver brother felt that he couldn't get by." ”

"Yes, this money has to be given to others." Holding on to the door frame, the lady of the Zheng family echoed Xianggong's words and said.

"That'...... Wait until I ask the prince of the county...... "Ying Fei told her that these pairs of medicines are not something that ordinary pharmacies can catch, that is, there must be unusual medicinal materials in this medicine." Such medicinal materials are usually not affordable and available to ordinary people.

Although the Zheng family is more solid than ordinary people, I am afraid that they will not be able to afford this silver.

Besides, Yingfei didn't mention these things at all, and Yue Xi knew that people didn't take these three pairs of drugs seriously......

The lady of the Zheng family stood at the door and looked straight at the kitchen, and Zheng Baocai, who had just entered the house, walked over again, holding her with one hand and holding the umbrella under the eaves with the other hand and sent her daughter-in-law into the kitchen.

"Your sister-in-law loves to talk to Du Jiamei." Zheng Baocai smiled and said to Yue Xi: "How is the business of our carriage and horse shop?" In two or three days, when your sister-in-law slows down again, my brother will go over and star. ”

"It's fine." Leaning on the door frame and looking out, I saw the Zheng family lady sitting at the door of the kitchen and talking to Du Sanniang, and Du Sanniang's busy figure flashed by the door from time to time, Yue Xi sighed secretly: The world is impermanent, life is impermanent, and those who are still talking and laughing today, who knows how long they can stay together......

"I can't put down the few things I bought, so remember to eat them early." Yue Xi instructed Zheng Baocai a few words and hurriedly left the house: "Brother Zheng, I have some urgent things to do, wait for a car to send Sanniang back to our shop, she just joined today, just take care of the three meals of those people in our shop......"

"Hey, I haven't eaten yet......"

Zheng Baocai and Du Sanniang chased after each other, and the two of them crowded at the door, looking at Yue Xi, who was leaving quickly with an umbrella, and shouted.

"Another day......" Under the umbrella, Yue Xi waved his hand and left the Zheng family quickly.

When she saw Yingsu, she suddenly wanted to see him......

……

The drizzling rain seems to have no intention of stopping, and there are few stalls buying vegetables on the road.

Yue Xi bought a few corianders, some river shrimp and pork, and carried them back to Chu's house.

The sky was gloomy and a little cool, and he took off his robe that was splashed with mud, and Yue Xi took a shower first.

When Ying Su returned, he saw the same picture again: in the dim yellow light of the kitchen, a thin woman wearing only a lining, barefoot on clogs, with her wet hair scattered and skillfully wrapping wontons.

"I'm back......" He smiled involuntarily as he walked over and grabbed her from behind.
