Chapter 21: No Hurry
Wang took advantage of the sun to sew clothes in the yard, brushed his sideburns with an embroidery needle, and glanced at his own daughter and the chicken bus idle in the yard from time to time.
The ugly orange sat beside Wang, twisting the thread in the sewing basket, and his subordinates were busy without raising their heads, not noticing Wang's eyes.
Since Ah Niu came over to repay the water money that day, the ugly orange said that he would take a break and not set up a stall the next day.
Wang also felt sorry for his daughter, thinking that from scooping water to setting up stalls, her daughter was busy working alone, and she was also tired, so she would rest for a day, but who knows, her girl will rest for two or three days.
After talking again, Wang pondered and cleared his throat, and Ugly Orange raised his head when he heard the sound and looked over, "What's wrong, mother, do you want to drink water?" ”
"Mother is not thirsty, what, Nier, don't keep guarding your mother, hurry up and go out of the stall, you have been resting for two days."
This day is one hundred and eighty yuan, and it will be a tael of silver in a few days, which is too distressing.
Ugly Orange laughed when she heard it, she was still wondering yesterday, she didn't come out of the stall, why didn't her mother ask.
"Mother, don't worry."
"Tsk, why don't you hurry, that day is ......"
Wang's voice was loud as soon as she was in a hurry, and she stopped in the middle of speaking, she turned her head to look outside the courtyard, leaned close to the ugly orange and whispered, "This day is more than a hundred children, two days are more than three hundred, you stay at home now, and those three hundred children will slip away from your hands in vain!" You had a day off yesterday, why are you lazy today......"
Ugly Tangerine had her own plans in her heart, but she couldn't tell Wang, so she had to say yes and say that she would go in the second half of the morning.
Wang slapped his thigh, "Ouch, it's still tomorrow, I'll go in the second half of the day!" ”
The ugly orange put down the twisted ball, got up and said, "Mother, don't worry." ”
"Why not rush...... Hey, what are you doing here! ”
Ugly Orange took out a basket from the stove and went out the door with a leisurely voice, "Go up the mountain." ”
Wang pouted, "Go up the mountain again......"
Because he couldn't resist the Wang family, the ugly orange was ready to set up a stall after lunch the next day.
Wang and Ugly Orange carried the two buckets of water into the car, and Ugly Orange took out the straw rope and tied it tightly, and went to carry the wooden basin and the bamboo basket with the wooden scoop.
Wang stood aside and watched, looked at the two wooden barrels, and muttered, "Nier, you said that you can get these two buckets of water in the river, but you have to get it...... What do you think you're doing all this effort? ”
Hearing Wang's dissatisfaction, the ugly orange only smiled at her, didn't say anything, and found another rope to tie the wooden basin with the bamboo basket.
After thinking about it, the ugly orange turned back to the stove and took out a large wooden gourd, this gourd was originally brought by Li Laifu to drink water when he was tending to the field, and it was the size of a wine jar.
This makes the wooden gourd scoop water to drink and there is an interesting mile, the village head of the tea loves to drink tea, the water for boiling tea is scooped from the spring on the mountain, but he doesn't have to go up the mountain himself, the people in the village will bring him some when they go up the mountain.
This Zhao Fuzi is a poor and exquisite old talent, if you take a wine jar to scoop water for him, I'm sorry, he will even smash the wine jar for you.
Only by scooping water with this wooden gourd for him, will he laugh, at least compared to the wine jar, so that the wooden gourd scooping water is more flavorful.
If there is a baby in the village who wants to be sent to Zhao Fuzi to learn calligraphy, the family will prepare this one, and her family is no exception, but Zhao Fuzi finally confiscated her into the school.
Scooped water from the jar and poured it into the wooden gourd, filled it and loaded it into the car, which was her shabu shabu "tea bowl" for a while.
When she was done, she said, "Mother, let's set up a stall with me today." ”
Wang saw that her daughter was taking gourds and scooping water, and she was not done with her work, so she had to set up a stall at this time.
"You Nizi is setting up a stage, why are you still coming out one after another, who will watch me when I go to the house with you?"
"Let Aunt Zhang help us take a look."
When Wang heard this, his head shook like a rattle, "Just the eyes of Aunt Zhang......"
"Oh mother, didn't Aunt Zhang come over yesterday......"
The aunt Zhang knew that she mistakenly used zucchini as a thorn melon that day, so that Wang couldn't believe it, these two days always looked for a few empty days, saying that the vegetable garden in her backyard planted a few rows of vegetables, and the original land where the thorn melon was planted let her son Zhang Chun move the nest, and she didn't pay attention to get the wrong one.
Although Aunt Zhang didn't say this stubble explicitly, this is the meaning between the words, and she always asked them if they wanted to go out, probably because they wanted to behave well in front of her mother.
Wang also thought that he was too obvious that day, and he put everything on his face, and felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had been neighbors with Aunt Zhang for more than ten years, don't be a pimple in your heart.
Looking at Wang's expression, the ugly orange guessed her thoughts, and after waiting for a while, Wang said, "That Nier, you go and talk to Aunt Zhang, just say that I asked you to go." ”
"Got it, mother." Ugly Orange smiled and went out.
In fact, she went to set up a stall by herself, not because she had to ask her mother to follow, but because her mother stayed at home all day and night, and she didn't go out for a walk, so she didn't get sick.
Wang thought about going out, so she went back to the house to clean up, and when she came out, the ugly orange came back, but when she saw the two loofahs in her daughter's hand, her face immediately sank.
The ugly orange looked at her mother staring at the loofah in her hand, this face changed when she said it, it was really faster than turning a book, she wanted to laugh but was not funny, and hurriedly said that it was taken by Aunt Zhang to fry and eat for the two of them at night.
Wang smiled when she heard this, and asked the ugly orange to push the car out, she put the fence on the fence, and Aunt Zhang was still greeting each other before leaving, and the two of them were talking and laughing.
The ugly orange sped up her pace with a weak heart, in fact, before she came back, Aunt Zhang went to the backyard to pick thorn melons for her again, but this time it was not zucchini but horn melons......
Wang walked on the road and took a look, it is strange to say, he has lived in Nanao Village for decades, why do he feel that he has not come out for a while, and the village has changed.
"Hey, Nier, you see, that family was originally my little sister's home, and we had the best relationship when we were girls, but we didn't talk about it when she got married, and look, her family has moved."
"Mother, the year before last, they expanded the house by a tile of land and fenced it out, but they didn't move it."
"Really...... Hey, Nier, that's your fourth uncle's house, and when you were a child, you used to play on the roof of his house, and you still ...... his house."
"Mother, that's my uncle's house, and the fourth uncle is next door."
“……”
"Mother, you should really come out and walk......"
Wang looked at the ugly orange, smashed it, smashed it, didn't say anything, she originally wanted to come, but if she came out, what would she do with the five taels of selfish things she hid in the corner of the wall.
Besides, even if she wants to come out, her stomach can't be full, her legs are weak and trembling, where can she walk......
The two of them came to the entrance of the village in such a chatter, and the ugly orange also came at this time earlier, set up a stall, and almost waited for half of the incense to come.
But at this time, there were already a lot of people gathered under the old tree, but not those handlebar styles, but those mothers-in-law and aunts in their village.
