Chapter 4: The Little Things of Life (1)
"Yaoyao, are you at home?"
Zhao Meng, as soon as this familiar voice sounded, this name appeared in Cheng Yao's mind. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's coming!" Cheng Yao hurriedly buried the soil and stomped on the ground with his feet. I fetched water and washed my hands before opening the door.
"Yaoyao, are you okay, I heard that your house was robbed? You're not hurt, are you? It's a pity that I didn't come back two days earlier, otherwise I would have let the thief see how good this girl is. "Zhao Meng is very much like Aunt Zhao, she is a hearty girl. When we meet, it's a string of words of concern. didn't wait for Cheng Yao to answer, so he lowered his voice and asked, "When you were stolen, was the next door silent?" I'm telling you, don't be fooled. Widow Zhang just looked soft-faced, but in fact, she didn't suffer at all. You have seen my mother's quarreling skills, she is called second, and no one dares to call her first. β
Cheng Yao has seen it once, and he is indeed strong in combat.
"Even so, my mother suffered a secret loss from Widow Zhang, causing my mother to be reprimanded by my father." Zhao Meng took the tea handed by Cheng Yao and took a sip. Her eyes rolled: "Of course, my mother just accidentally let her hold the handle." He gestured and stretched out a finger.
"All in all, the door of the Zhang family is not so easy to enter, don't be confused for a while, just listen to the coaxing of others." Zhao Meng snapped and put the cup heavily on the table: "I don't drink water, did you hear what I said." β
As soon as this girl entered the door, the conversation did not stop, Cheng Yao was really afraid that she would die of thirst, so she kept pouring water for her, put down the teapot and said: "Of course I heard it, but you can't stop talking, how can I answer you?" β
"Hee-hee, then now you say, listen to me."
"Then I'll answer you question by question, in the days when you are away, I am very good, and I don't miss you and can't eat." Cheng Yao winked at Zhao Meng, and the two frolicked again: "Our family was not robbed, my father is back!" β
"Ahh Negative man! β
Sure enough, it was the mother and daughter, and the reaction was exactly the same. Cheng Yao raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Meng.
"I won't interject anymore, you continue!" Zhao Meng blinked and looked at Cheng Yao: "Go on!" β
"It's gone! My house wasn't burglarized, so I wasn't hurt. Cheng Yao gave herself a cup of sleep and took a sip: "No, there is." β
"What else?"
"There are two more points, the first point is that Aunt Zhang is an elder, don't call people like widows and widows, beware of your father hearing and repairing you. The second point is that I don't blame you for not coming back early, after all, the future mother-in-law wants to keep you, and you can't shirk it, right? β
"Ahh Stinky Yaoyao, you dare to laugh at me, see that I don't teach you a lesson. The two of them got into a fight.
"Didn't you say that you want to bring me the osmanthus candy made by your future mother-in-law? What about sugar? β
"It's in my wine shop!" Zhao Meng stuck out his tongue: "Didn't I hear that there was a thief and was in a hurry to see you?" β
Cheng Yaowan'er, this is a guy who only listens to half of the words, and is anxious.
"Don't divert the subject, you know what I want to ask, although your mother meant it when she was alive. However, this is a lifetime event. What exactly do you think? Zhao Meng put away his joke and asked seriously.
"My thoughts are, my dad is back!"
"As for your bad father, you still expect him to make decisions for you?"
"I said, my dad is back." The words are the same, but the meaning is different, Cheng Yao watched Cheng Bai come in with a pile of books, crossed Zhao Meng, and stepped forward to take a hand.
"Buy so much again!" Cheng Yao was glad that she had just made the decision.
"Not much, not much, I didn't expect this ancient cultural industry to be so developed, three storefronts, two floors, that book, tsk!" Cheng Bai was fascinated.
Cheng Yao thought about it without moving, making sure that he had hidden the silver tightly enough, and then looked at his father, who looked like he was wandering outside, worried that he would say something inappropriate, and reminded: "This is Zhao Meng, the daughter of Uncle Zhao's family." β
"Hello, hello!"
"Uncle Cheng, you're back, hehe, hehe, what's that, my wine shop is busy, I'm going to help." The embarrassment of saying bad things about people behind his back and bumping into the parties involved, Zhao Meng hurriedly made an excuse to slip away.
"Okay, well, come home again when you have time!"
"Dad, where's Edamame?"
"I don't know! He was clearly following me just now! Cheng Bai looked dazed.
"Let's go out and find it!"
"Oh, what a handsome little brother. How did you get to my sister! A woman in a peach-colored silk dress, with her hair loosely tied with a headband, looked like she had just woken up, charming and lazy, holding the door frame with one hand and picking up the chin of edamame with the other.
Edamame was so frightened that he retreated again and again, his feet were mixed, he fell, and the books in his arms were scattered all over the ground.
"Hahaha!" The woman's laughter trembled. What a small thing, so unbearable to be teased. The woman bent down and picked up a book, patted the dust on the book with her delicate little hand, and said contemptuously: "Take it, the little fart with no hair, the old lady still can't look down on it." β
"Edamame, what are you doing here!" When the father and daughter of the Cheng family came to find it, they saw this situation.
"Why are all the books gone? Pick it up. β
"The master walked too fast, I lost it." Edamame is in shock.
Cheng Yao's cognition of the degree of edamame road obsession has risen to a new height, twenty meters ahead, turn left and go to the door of his house.
"The girl from the Cheng family next door. I've been a neighbor for so many years, but it's the first time I've talked to you. The woman lifted the falling hair behind her ears, and a simple action can be a little more charming than others: "I am Yun Niang, and everyone in this area knows me." β
"yes." Cheng Yao smiled and nodded.
In modern times, when Cheng Yao was undercover in order to investigate the case, he had close contact with these stumbling women. Compared with modern people who laugh at poverty and don't laugh at prostitutes, most of the people in ancient times who would fall into the dust were poor people.
Without the expected contempt or disgust, Yun Niang was a little surprised, and her body that was originally leaning on the door panel stood up slightly straighter.
"Oops, it's broken." There was a book that had been cut by a stone on the ground.
"Master, don't blame me for this!" Edamame whispered and glanced at Yun Niang.
"Don't look at me, the book is not broken, it is he who recognized the wrong door and quarreled with the old lady to rest." Yun Niang put her hands on her waist, and anyone who dared to slander her would quarrel with her.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I feel sorry for the book." Cheng Bai waved his hand at Yun Niang, and turned back to preach to Maodou.
Edamame was less than ten years old when he met Cheng Bai, thin and small. Cheng Bai is a bit of a scholar, worried about the country and the people, but there are many poor people in the world, how can he help. It was also Edamame and Cheng Bai who had a fate, but this master and servant met. Now that you have met it, you can't sit idly by. In the past, Cheng Bai was good to edamame.
The current Cheng Bai has been teaching and educating people for many years, and it is not so much that Edamame is a subordinate, but that Cheng Bai regards him as a student.
Edamame is also gracious, and Cheng Bai is seriously ill and only he is by his side.
"Things in the world have to be done according to your ability, you can't hold so many books, you shouldn't have stopped me just now, wouldn't it be easy to let the people from the bookstore send them back?"
"It's just a short stretch of money, and they charge ten cents, it's too expensive, can you buy two big meat buns?"
"Little slippery head, if you get lost, there will be no meat buns left!" Cheng Bai patted Edamame's head.
