Chapter 41: Porters
Jinxiu walked to the town market, visited a few shops and bought some small items by the way, and took out a few bundles of dried vegetables and a few catties of black grapes from the cave in a remote place and put them in a basket, covered them with a cloth bag, and then went out of the town market, ready to go to Liumu Village to find Jinyu and go home.
The road is narrow, and I met Zhang Ruiwen again.
This time he walked with a little girl about ten years old, the little girl combed two mustaches, wore a floral cotton jacket, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Zhang Ruiwen, which should be his sister.
Zhang Ruiwen also saw Jinxiu, first turned his face away with disdain, and later said something to the little girl who looked at the shop next to her, and the little girl immediately looked at Jinxiu, looking surprised and a little happy.
Soon, the little girl pulled Zhang Ruiwen to Jinxiu and said crisply:
"Sister Splendid Beauty! Is it really you? ”
Jinxiu couldn't snub the little girl, so she nodded and replied.
The little girl's eyes were red, and she pouted: "Sister Jinxiu, it's my brother who can't stand you, I haven't done anything, you can't ignore me!" ”
Splendid: "......"
Seeing that Jinxiu was silent and looked unreasonable, the little girl was even more aggrieved, Zhang Ruiwen glared at Jinxiu: "Ruiyun has liked you since she was a child, how can you treat her like this?" ”
Jinxiu glared at him back: "Zhang Ruiwen, I can do whatever I like, it's your business?" ”
Hearing Jinxiubiao's foul language, Zhang Ruiyun was so surprised that he forgot his sadness: "Sister Jinxiu, you, you, what you just said ......"
Zhang Ruiwen snorted and pulled Zhang Ruiyun over: "Let's go!" Such a vulgar woman, my sister still ignores her! ”
Zhang Ruiyun shook off Zhang Ruiwen, ran back to Jinxiu's side, and said, "Sister, go with me, my mother is sick, she remembers you!" ”
Jinxiu shook her head: "I still have something to do, so I won't go." ”
"Go!"
Zhang Ruiyun stretched out his hand to pull the splendid basket, and suddenly saw a bunch of black grapes exposed under the cloth bag, reached out and pulled one into his mouth, and shouted happily:
"Grapes! It's autumn grapes! It's so sweet! ”
Jinxiu was stunned for a moment: "How do you know that this is an autumn grape?" ”
Zhang Ruiyun smiled, and reached out to pull the second one: "Of course I know, my brother also met someone in the town market to sell autumn grapes, and he also bought two catties for Chunhong to eat, and Chunhong only gave me a small bunch of ...... However, the autumn grapes that my brother bought are so sour, and they are very small, and the ones my sister bought today are really good, sweet and big! ”
Zhang Ruiwen's face turned red and reprimanded: "What nonsense? Since my mother asked you to come to me, why don't you hurry home? ”
Zhang Ruiyun tightened the basket of Jinxiu like an octopus, and compared with Jinxiu, turning over the cloth bag covered by the basket, revealing everything inside.
"Ahh So many grapes! And refreshments...... Sister! Leave the dim sum for Jinyun to eat, I want to eat grapes! ”
Jinxiu was helpless against Ruiyun, so she had to glare at Zhang Ruiwen: Don't care about your sister? Highway robbery?
Zhang Ruiwen said: "Isn't she all what you're used to? Look what I do! ”
In the end, Jinxiu only scored five or six bunches of black grapes to Zhang Ruiyun, and advised: "You eat it yourself, and if you want to share it, you can only give it to your father and mother, and no one else is allowed to give it!" Especially Zhang Ruiwen and the person in his room, if you dare to share one of them, I won't know you again in the future! ”
Zhang Ruiyun nodded again and again, and swore a curse: "Chunhong is not a good person, she never wants to give me the snacks my brother bought!" The autumn grapes my sister gave me, I won't give them to her if I kill them! ”
"Well, that's how it should be!" Jinxiu said.
Zhang Ruiwen stood aside expressionlessly and remained silent.
Zhang Ruiyun used his clothes to pocket the autumn grapes, and begged with Jinxiu to sell well, and at the end, he had to inch in and snatch two handfuls of dried cabbage in the basket: "Sister, can you give this to my mother?" My mother loves to eat dried bamboo shoots sent by my sister, but there are no dried bamboo shoots today, and dried vegetables are fine! ”
Splendid: "......"
She swore in her heart that if she met Zhang Ruiyun again in the future, she would treat it as if she didn't know her, and she would definitely take a detour!
Parting ways with Zhang Ruiwen's brother and sister, Jinxiu hurriedly rushed to Liumu Village, but before he went far, he saw his aunt driving an ox cart to meet him, and Jinyu and his aunt were sitting on the ox cart.
A few people talked on the side of the road, Jinxiu took out the grapes in his basket for everyone to eat, saying that it was the autumn grapes bought on the street, because it was indeed very sweet and juicy, the aunt took some away, and left the rest to Tian and Jinyun, but refused to ask Jinxiu to "buy" the dried vegetables on the set, and said that Jinxiu spent money indiscriminately, and the aunt's family had dried vegetables, and wanted to eat it next time and let the aunt pull a basket over.
Jinxiu was silent, she couldn't say that Auntie, your dried vegetables can't be compared with mine, right?
The aunt carried the basket to the town market, Jinyu didn't want to go to the market, so the aunt drove the ox cart to send the sisters back to Dongshan Village, and then picked up the aunt when they returned.
On the way, Jinxiu handed over the drawings of the new house to the aunt, the sisters excitedly talked with the aunt about building a house, the aunt received the silver ticket from Jinyu in the morning, and he had already gone to the craftsmen to say hello and settle the matter with them, and then sent the sisters home to start buying bricks and tiles and various materials, and it is estimated that the construction of the new house can be started within three or five days!
Jinxiu and Jinyu returned to Feng's house, and saw Tian, Aunt Liu, and Huang Po sitting in the small fence yard basking in the sunshine, chatting while doing needlework, and Liu Sanniu and Jinyun sitting on the firewood chop and turning over the red rope to play.
There was also a group of women sitting in the main courtyard of the Feng family doing needlework, and from time to time they glanced contemptuously at the small fence courtyard, which were Feng Liang's mother and daughter.
Jinyun saw his two sisters walk into the courtyard gate, cheered and ran out to greet him, Jinxiu saw that his sister was followed by Liu Sanniu, so he handed the basket to Jinyun, and said with a smile:
"There's some snacks and candy in there, let's share them!"
Tiehua over there heard it, and immediately ran over: "I want to eat it too!" ”
Feng Yuzhen didn't get close immediately, but reached out and pushed Feng Liang's hand: "Milk, Sister Jinxiu has bought a snack, shouldn't you and your master be honored first?" ”
Feng Liang put down the jacket that was being sewn, clapped his hands and stood up, and shouted screaming:
"Jinyun girl, quickly bring the dim sum to the milk, and the milk will give you a share!"
As if he hadn't heard, Jinyun ran into the fence courtyard with a basket of smoke in his arms.
Feng Liang was willing to give up, scolded and chased towards the fence courtyard, Tian looked at the basket in Jinyun's hand, sighed and said: "There are two packs of dim sum here, just give them a pack, otherwise you will have trouble eating!" ”
Jin Yun reluctantly grabbed a bag of oil fruits wrapped in kraft paper and handed it to Tiehua: "Take it, go quickly!" ”
Tiehua took the avocal, but he didn't leave, looked at Jinyun's basket and looked up and shouted: "Grandma, there are autumn grapes!" She doesn't give me grapes! ”
Jinxiu smiled angrily: "I still have a life, do you want to give you half of my life, huh?" ”
Jinyu couldn't help but say, and directly picked up the iron flower and pushed her out of the fence yard.
This move naturally attracted a scolding from Feng Zaohua and Feng Liang.
Feng Liang took Feng Taohua and Feng Liuhua into the fence yard again to make noise, just because these two girls wanted to eat autumn grapes!
Jinyu insisted on refusing to give it, but Tian was dizzy by Feng Liang's quarrel, so in order to calm the matter, he took two large strings of Dongtian grapes that were as crystal clear as ink jade and sweet and handed them over!
Jinxiu was so angry that she died: what are the things in the Feng family, and they are also worthy of eating her Dongtian fruits!
Huang Po and Aunt Liu shook their heads from the side, and Aunt Liu said to Tian: "You mother and daughter really can't stay in this place, hurry up, move to my house, move away as soon as possible, and be comfortable!" ”
Tian asked Jinyun to give some snacks and grapes to Huang Po and Aunt Liu to eat, sighed and whispered: "The old man will regret not wanting the children to move, I can go, but I can't leave my children...... Our mother and daughter are also very annoyed, and they are thinking about it in the past two days! You have to come a few more times, help, take some things out slowly, and when we go out that day, we won't look back! ”
Huang Po and Aunt Liu nodded again and again, tasted two autumn grapes, only to feel refreshed, so sweet that their eyes were squinted, and they were reluctant to eat it, so they hid it in their sleeves, and sat down for a while before saying goodbye and going home.
When the two of them left, the baskets on their arms were heavy, and the sewn clothes were covered with them, and they could not see what was in them.
Jinxiu looked at the small movements of several women, and felt helpless and funny, she just casually gave Tian a trick, who knew that Tian was still serious, and specially found two porters to secretly move things.
In fact, according to Jinxiu's thoughts, there is nothing to pity about the tattered things in this room, just throw them down and leave, but Tian is reluctant to buy the pots and pans, as well as the clogs, even the basket she is used to, the bamboo leaf hat she is used to, and the flat scythe she is used to wearing, all of them are collected in the same way, and she plans to pick them up when the time comes!
When cooking dinner, Jinxiu stopped Tian and didn't let her cook the dishes sent by Aunt Liu, but fried a handful of dried vegetables that the town "bought" back, but the family ate again, Tian regretted: "Such delicious dried vegetables, the eldest sister only bought two handfuls, if only I could buy more!" ”
Jinyu said: "Mother, my aunt's family also has dried vegetables, and she also said that she would give us a basket of dried vegetables, and eat them as you like!" ”
Jinyun clapped his hands and smiled: "Great! My favorite is dried vegetables! ”
Tian also smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, this dish is really good, I love to eat it too!" As long as there are dried vegetables, I don't eat meat! ”
Splendid: "......"
Wait for a pot of ordinary dried vegetables from my aunt's house to be served on the table, see if you still love it?
