Chapter 53: First Encounter with the Eldest Lady
After dinner, Qiu Ning said that she was going to send snacks to Granny Ma, and the mung bean cake that was cold in the yard or something, so she let Sister Wang look at it carefully. Don't knock it over, and don't let cats and birds spoil it. Sister Wang felt even more distressed about these snacks, although it was less than half of the money she expected to spend before, but what? That's silver, too! What a good honey, I've never bought it at home. Sister Wang directly took a small bench and sat on the edge of the dustpan, looking like a serious guard.
Qiu Ning twisted the blue seeds, and there was a big blue snack in it, which was also made by Sister Wang's family, and Qiu Ning took some for Granny Ma to taste by the way. It was already dark, but I could still see the way through the moonlight. And there are quite a few people lighting lamps in the village along the way, so it is not difficult to find the way. Qiu Ning listened to the insects on the side of the road, and walked on the path with a comfortable face, it was really quiet here. Every time I pass by a house, I can hear the sound of the family talking, and I can also hear the cry of the little doll asking for milk. Qiuning feels that compared to the cold cement of a modern big city, it is more human and warm.
Qiu Ning habitually walked outside the back door, and there was an old woman guarding the door, seeing that it was Qiu Ning, she asked casually: "Why are you still coming here at this time?" ”
Qiu Ning smiled slightly, "I'm sorry to send something to Granny Ma, it's so noisy that you are resting." ”
The mother-in-law saw Qiu Ning's smiling face, and took the initiative to make amends, so she didn't say anything. Besides, she was already doing the work of guarding the door, and it was only this little girl herself who dared to say a few more words, how dare she ask one more word in front of her master. "Come on, let's go in! Remember to leave earlier, people who don't live in the house can't stay in the house for a long time. ”
Qiu Ning nodded again and again with a smile on his face, and then habitually picked the most secluded path towards the big kitchen, and there were a few small rooms next to the big kitchen, where some of the people in the house lived. Granny Ma also lives there, and Qiu Ning knows that Granny Ma's house is next to the kitchen. When I walked to the door and saw that there was still a light in the house, I guess Granny Ma hadn't slept yet? Qiu Ning whispered softly: "Mother-in-law Ma、、、、"
Then I heard movement in the house, and the door opened. Seeing that it was Qiu Ning coming, Granny Ma smiled happily on her wrinkled face, "But you're here to bring me a snack!" ”
Qiu Ning smiled and nodded, then raised the blue in his hand, "It's done, mother-in-law, come and taste it!" ”
Granny Ma pulled Qiu Ning into the house, and then closed the door, Qiu Ning entered Granny Ma's house, only to see that the room was very simple, a bed and a table, a half-old wooden cabinet, and several large wooden boxes. However, the simple house is very clean, which is in line with Granny Ma's personality of doing things quickly. Tyunine put Lanzi on the table, and then sat down on the edge of the table. "Granny Ma, I brought some mung bean cake and red bean cake, Sister Wang's family just made these two snacks, so I brought you some."
Granny Ma happily sat down at the table, opened the blue, and sure enough, she saw a small plate inside, on which were a plate of mung bean cake and red bean cake. It looks very delicious, and Granny Ma just picks it up and eats it. Immediately, I felt that my mouth was full of thick sweetness that could not be dissolved, and it was all a strong mung bean fragrance that could not be dissolved. It's soft and powdery, fragrant and sweet. "It's delicious, Qiu Ning, your hands are so skillful, mother-in-law is going to say a fair word, your craft is definitely better than the dim sum master in the city. Look at this mung bean cake that melts in your mouth, you can't feel a trace of dryness, a trace of greasy, moderate sweetness, and a mouthful of bean flavor. Mother-in-law has really earned it, and she is blessed. ”
Qiu Ning smiled, "Mother-in-law smiled, it seems that I want to go to the city to open a dim sum stall, there is no problem." I was so praised by my mother-in-law, and I was really more confident. Qiu Ning poured a bowl of water and put it in front of Granny Ma.
"Qiuning, do you really want to go to the city to do a dim sum business?" Granny Wang took the tea handed by Qiu Ning and took a sip, only feeling very comfortable.
"But no, I want to save enough money now, and then go to the city to start from a small stall, I believe that one day I can start to achieve results, even if I may not be able to do much in the future, how much money can I make. But Qiu Ning felt that at least it was something he liked, and it was something he worked hard for. Since you have this craft, if you don't make good use of it, you will be too disappointed by these hands. ”
"Mother-in-law supports you, you will definitely succeed. When the time comes, if you really go to the city to open a dim sum stall, your mother-in-law will definitely go to your field. Granny Ma continued to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth with satisfaction.
"By the way, the last time you asked me to tell the master, I found an opportunity to talk to the master in the morning. Now the eldest lady doesn't dare to sneak out of the back door secretly, and the eldest lady is really, born in the blessing and not knowing the blessing. I don't know how many people in this world can't even eat. Granny Ma sighed.
Qiu Ning smiled slightly, but no, but this is fate. In the eyes of the eldest lady, maybe freedom is what she wants most, but in the eyes of the poor, they can live a shirt to stretch their hands and eat to open their mouths is their pursuit. "Mother-in-law, it's not early, I'll go back first. By the way, eating more sweets at night is not good for your teeth, mother-in-law, you must remember to eat less. ”
Granny Ma put down the snacks in her hand and smiled: "I know, I won't eat it again." ”
Qiu Ning went out of the back door and walked in the long alley, thinking about what Granny Ma said about the eldest lady, and really felt that the eldest lady was also pitiful, and she was locked up in the house all day long, in fact, the more the lord was like this, the stronger the rebellious psychology in the eldest lady's heart. But this is not something I should worry about, I am just a little maid, but I haven't even seen the face of the young lady? Just thinking about it, suddenly Qiu Ning felt that a person jumped down from the courtyard wall on the side, Qiu Ning instinctively wanted to scream, but he heard a shout, "Be quiet!" ”
Only then did Qiu Ning see clearly that it turned out that the one who jumped from the courtyard wall was a girl's family. And judging from her dress, she doesn't look like a girl from a poor family at all, wearing a pale pink dress with a wide-sleeved blouse embroidered with plum blossoms. There is actually a golden hairpin on his head, and he has a complicated hairstyle, Qiu Shining dares to guarantee that this is the first time he has seen a golden hairpin since he crossed over, and he has seen the exquisite hairstyle of ancient times. Qiu Ning immediately thought that this wouldn't be the dishonest eldest lady in the house!
Wang Wenxiu smiled at Qiu Ning, "Thank you, don't tell anyone that you have seen me here, okay?" After speaking, he took out a small piece of silver from the purse hanging from his belt and handed it directly to Qiu Ning. It's hush money! ”
Qiu Ning smiled bitterly and accepted it generously, although he didn't want to take it, but he didn't want to take it for nothing, and he really needed silver. "Thank you, Miss!"
Wang Wenxiu's face was shocked, "You know who I am!" ”
Qiu Ning looked at Miss Wang's face that was not too beautiful, but it was very delicate after dressing up. Miss, it's too rare for the entire Wangjia Village to be dressed like you. ”
Wang Wenxiu glanced at her clothes in annoyance, and pouted: "It's really annoying, I already knew that I changed into the clothes of my subordinates." Why don't you change clothes with me, and I'll give you silver?" ”
