Chapter 16 When I Say It Comes Out of My Own Mouth, It Tastes Like It Turns (Xiu
At noon the next day, Wang cleaned up and was ready to go to the stall with the ugly orange, and before leaving, he went to find Aunt Zhang with the ugly orange, saying that the two of them had something to go out and asked her to help take a look at her yard.
Aunt Zhang was full of response when she heard it, she had nothing to do all day long, she just sat in the yard with her happy son in her arms, and helped to take a look at it and said nothing.
Nanmian Village is a poor village, the people in the village do not have adobe yards, some are only half-human high fence walls, usually who wants to go out, and there is no one left at home, just take a look at the door, if the family comes to relatives, it is good to inform that it is not.
She also kindly went to the vegetable garden in her backyard to pick a few prickly melons and said that the ugly orange girls were thirsty to eat on the way. This prickly melon is a cucumber, because the melon has soft thorns on its body, and the people in the village call the cucumber a prickly melon.
Who knew that as soon as Wang saw the thorn melon in Aunt Zhang's hand, he immediately changed his mind and said that she would not go out today, and this melon was still kept by Aunt Zhang and eaten by herself.
After speaking, without waiting for Aunt Zhang's reaction, she took the ugly orange and went home, and then urged her to set up a stall, but she didn't follow and stayed in the yard to watch the house.
Ugly Orange thinks it's strange, which one is her mother singing?
Wang said bluntly, Aunt Zhang just regarded the zucchini as a prickly melon, so these two roots came out to let her mother and mother eat this zucchini when they were thirsty, just with this look, who would dare to call her to watch the door.
Well, Aunt Zhang's eyes are really bad.
The ugly orange couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, and pushed the car out by himself......
The sun was surprisingly heavy in mid-June, and at noon, there were more carts and horses resting at the entrance of the village, and the trade of ugly oranges became more and more good, sometimes selling two buckets of water in less than an afternoon.
Those who come to the ugly orange to scoop water are all people who are in a hurry, and they will sit together and chatter when they meet.
In the village, the elders often say that listening to the mother-in-law and aunt are idle and small-minded, and listening to the car man say that he is insightful.
This guy is a handlebar type, they are well-informed in riding horses and driving carts to the north and south, and they know more than those of them who have been staying at home all year round to guard their mother-in-law and aunt.
Otherwise, these people would go into the village to ask for water to drink, and the villagers would scoop them up without saying a word, and sometimes they would even scoop bowls of gruel and water, so that they could tell them something new from the outside.
These handlebars scoop water and drink here in the ugly oranges, eat some dry food by the way, and talk about where they have driven the car, what kind of customs are there, and these ugly oranges also love to listen to them.
But one thing surprised her, there is still a war going on outside, I heard that it has been fighting for seven or eight years?!
And there are doubts in the accident, to say that the war between these two countries is a big deal, especially for them ordinary people, it is they who caused the disaster and caused the pond fish, why has she never heard of it?
The others seemed to let the ugly orange ask, shook their heads, and didn't know how to explain, but spoke in the form of a handlebar on the other side of the old tree.
This person was originally a storyteller in the teahouse, and the teahouse at the back was changed to an inn, and the people who came were either sharpened or stayed in the hotel, no one listened to him, and other teahouses had storytellers, and he couldn't squeeze in, so he changed his line to do the handlebar style.
He usually can't stop talking to others, but he hasn't finished talking about it, there is always spit on the corners of his mouth, and others have given him a nickname called Tu Pao Chen.
But then he changed this nickname to Chen Tucang, saying that only the yellow-mouthed child spits bubbles in his mouth, and he is not a little doll!!
Chen Tucang took out the cigarette pouch and pot pinned to his waist, bit the cigarette holder and said slowly, ugly orange They are a small village, and they are sandwiched between the mountains, extremely remote and closed, and there are occasional outsiders, and there are only handlebars like them who pass by to ask for water to drink, and after drinking and thanking them, they hurriedly went away, who is still full of food and dragged the master's house to say that there is a war today, and there are dead people, isn't this annoying!
Besides, their village is nested in a ravine, small and poor, with little oil and water, or if the government had not collected grain from here, they would have been able to bear them for so many years.
Ugly Orange frowned slightly, she had never experienced a war, and she was a little jealous when she heard people talk about it. Although the current life is hard, it is still comfortable, and she doesn't want to live a life of dislocation because of the war.
To tell the truth, she knows in her heart how she came to be, although it is not a reading of the past and the present, but she is also very experienced, but if she really encounters the matter of war, what can her self-righteous little cleverness do, it is estimated that it will be difficult to even save her life at that time, let alone protect the family.
However, Chen Tupao finally said something to reassure the ugly orange, this battle has been fought for so many years, and the emperor's list was posted in the front battle, and the enemy army was defeated, so as to withdraw from the outside of the Saiwai, General Yuan, who commanded the border defense, was about to return to the court.
In the end, this Chen Tu cannon is a storyteller in the teahouse, and his mouth is neat, and he is really addicted to listening to it, and the handlebar style in the four places is shouting for him to listen to another book.
Chen Tupao was embarrassed now, pretending to light the smoke pot, drinking saliva to moisten his throat, and said that he would not talk about books today, if he wanted to say it, he would make up a paragraph for the big guys, didn't he talk about this General Yuan's retreat from the enemy army, he would give the big guys this paragraph at this time.
The handlebar style in the four places was applauding, and suddenly it was lively again, and the Chen Tu cannon smashed the bar and began to smash the mouth.
"It is said that there is a Lu'an Mansion in Xilang Province, there is a big mansion in Lu'an Mansion, there is a young man living in the house, the ancestors of the generations of military generals, loyal to the imperial court, the third in the family, known as Yuan Sanshao, since childhood martial arts, eighteen classes of weapons are exquisite, the early years of the enemy invasion / invasion, parents and brothers are killed on the battlefield, only sixteen years old Yuan Sanshao put on armor to lead the troops to kill the enemy, and the enemy launched a seven-year-long border war!"
"Good!!" A few people who often go to listen to books immediately applauded at this juncture.
The ugly orange is not good at this, but she also thinks it is good, and she thinks in her heart, when she opens a tea shop in the future, she will also hire a storyteller.
"Because the three young men are brave and good at fighting, and have made many military exploits, although he is still young, the emperor still made him a general, and led thousands of troops to kill the enemy immediately......"
“…… It will not be long before the day of returning to the dynasty, and then the marshal and knighthood will be just around the corner, and the future is immeasurable! ”
“…… However, at this moment, smack!! ”
When Chen Tupao said that he was up, he slapped his thigh as a pat on the awakening wood, which was originally a refreshment for the storyteller to listen to the book, but at this point it scared everyone, and they immediately complained.
"Ouch, Chen Tu Cannon, you want to scare people to death!!"
"I said why are your hands so bad, if you don't shoot, you'll die!!"
"That's it, listen to you and don't charge money for books, why do you come here......"
There was a bustle in front of the stall, and the ugly orange was fortunately not scared, so it happened that someone came to the stall, and she was about to greet the trade, but she looked up and saw a cow.
She was slightly stunned, and then said, "Brother Niu, it's you." ”
Ah Niu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that it was an ugly orange setting up a stall here, and asked with a strange expression when he saw her pestle in a bunch of big men.
"Girl, what are you doing here?"
Set up a stall!
The ugly orange pursed his lips, and didn't just come out like this, only saying that the family was idle and idle, and set up a tea stall to subsidize the family.
She looked at him and asked, "Brother Niu, why are you here?" ”
Ah Niu looked at the handlebars, and said that he was here to scoop some wooden gourds with Aunt Zhao at the entrance of the village, and he was going to the town
The ugly orange saw the bamboo basket he was carrying behind him, and he knew in his heart that yesterday an aunt came to her house to talk about it, and he went to the next village with a pull, saying that Ah Niu and his mother were preaching all over the village at this time, saying that Ah Niu had learned the craft of carving gourds, and was preparing to set up a stall in the town.
The mother-in-law may be red-eyed, and her mouth was full of sourness when she talked about it with her mother, thinking that it was not her mother who would also talk about Aunt Niu together.
But she is thinking badly, not to mention that her family has a good relationship with Ah Niu's family, just a few days ago, she also scooped two big baskets of gourds and scoops with Ah Niu, just rush this, her mother will not talk about Aunt Niu.
But her mother is also a little unaccustomed to Aunt Niu's approach, you say that your baby is out of breath, and you can't be guilty of publicizing it all over the village.
Ugly didn't want to ask him about it, but he didn't know what to say, so he asked him if he wanted to sit down and take a break and drink water.
Said that Ah Niu came from their village, and also stepped over a ridge, so a little road is not thirsty and tired, ugly orange is just a polite sentence, who knows that Ah Niu paused, and then answered, took off the bamboo basket and sat on a stone slab.
The ugly orange pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, making herself look like she was laughing, turned around and scooped water for Ah Niu, and scolded herself behind her back, she had nothing to do to provoke Ah Niu, if people want to leave, let him go, Bai She didn't say anything about a scoop of water, and called a seat!
Where did Ah Niu know what the ugly orange thought, took the water and drank it, it was strange to say, he was not thirsty at this time, why did he feel that this water was full of sweetness.
A man on the side glanced at it and said to the ugly orange with a smile, "Hey, girl, didn't you say that you would pay the money first and then scoop the water?" ”
"Yes." This was said at the beginning, or after a while, there would be more people, and she would remember who didn't pay and who drank how many miles of water.
The man glanced at Ah Niu and quipped, "Then why can this young man drink water first?" ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Ah Niu didn't expect this person to talk about him, so he choked coldly, and several handlebars on the side also laughed.
Ah Niu couldn't help the jokes of those people, coughed and put down the wooden scoop, said a word to the ugly orange, wiped his mouth and got up and hurried away.
"Ouch, Niu, you're here, you can tell me to wait!"
A woman in her fifties came out of the village, and met Ah Niu head-on, and the trustee of the old Niu family brought a message, saying that she wanted to scoop a basket of wooden gourds, and said that she would come to pick it up in the second half of the morning, so she left her home and waited for no one, so she came out to see.
When Ah Niu heard this, he felt that he had made Aunt Zhao wait for a long time, and he was a little sorry for others, so he said that he was thirsty, and he scooped water on the ugly orange girl's stall to drink, which was delayed.
"Tea stand? Li Laifu's ugly orange is setting up a stall? Which mile is it? ”
"It's under the old tree over there."
Aunt Zhao looked in the direction pointed by Ah Niu, and really saw the ugly orange, looking at the crowd of people on her side, the business was really good......
