Chapter 67: The same party
Wei Sanniang has a pungent temperament, but she is frank, she praised sincerely: "Sister-in-law, this wedding banquet is really decent." ”
Chen's eyebrows couldn't stop being proud.
The two were talking in the courtyard, and the fox fence jade who heard the movement in the inner room walked out with a stool: "Aunt Wutang, sit." ”
"Okay." Wei Sanniang glanced at her with a smile and took the stool.
Fox Liyu is twenty-five this year, and in ancient times she was a remarried woman, but in modern times she is an upright and young girl. She is good-looking, and she is a gentle character, not only can observe words and looks, but also behave, words and deeds are gentle and gentle, close to good things, and her face is like a morning glow, full of red light, and her complexion is full of energy.
Wei Sanniang couldn't help but praise: "I still think that Liyu is the best, not only good looking, but also good temperament." By the way, why haven't I seen you out and around these days? ”
Fox Liyu pursed her lips and smiled shallowly: "I'm too lazy to go out." Explained to Wei Sanniang: "I embroider wedding dresses at home every day, and I don't have time." ”
Over there, Chen had already poured water for Wei Sanniang, Wei Sanniang took the water, took a sip, counted as drinking, and then got up with a smile: "The child's father will come back later, I'll go back first, if you need anything, just come over and say." ”
"Ah, stay here for lunch, and call all of them over." Taking advantage of the stall to pour water, Chen had already quietly looked at the gift given by Wei Sanniang, and found that it was a pillow surface, very surprised, and very happy, and his attitude towards Wei Sanniang was naturally very enthusiastic at this time.
"No, no, no. In two days, sister-in-law, even if you don't speak, our whole family will come. Wei Sanniang politely refused.
"Coming, coming. You've got to come early. The corners of Chen's eyes smiled at the fold marks, and he sent her out affectionately, while admonishing: "...... When the time comes, I will have to come over earlier with Dayou, as well as the three sisters and brothers of Lixiang, they are all my own family, and I won't invite you then. ”
"Since sister-in-law you said so, then our family will come early in the morning. If you need help, you can say it. "Wei Sanniang was originally a cool character, and the Chen family generously invited them, and she naturally responded generously.
"Okay, okay! There's not much I can do about it, but. When the time comes, you come and see. When your family Fence Incense and Fence Crystal get married, you also have a charter in your heart......"
"That's a good dare!"
Wei Sanniang walked out of the courtyard of the fox family while talking to the Chen family, said goodbye to the Chen family, and went home.
When it was close to noon, Fox Dayou came back with the burden of Douhua, and Fox Xiaomei hurriedly ran over to take the burden. The bean curd in the bucket is sold clean. She grinned and said, "Dad." Since we started selling this bean curd, there hasn't been a day left for the bean curd to come back! ”
Fox Dayou touched her head and said with relief: "Yes." If only this business had been like this. ”
"You don't have to worry about this year, you don't have to worry about selling these things in the cold, besides, the New Year will be in a few months, and the business will be better when the time comes." It's just that business may be lighter in the summer. ”
It's a hot day, and there will definitely be fewer people eating these things.
Fox Dayou nodded, and then praised Fox Xiaomei: "It seems that my daughter knows a lot!" ”
Fox Xiaomei smiled proudly. Then I heard Fox Dayou say: "In order for our family to live a better life, I still work hard." An old bachelor can eat meat all at once, how can our family be compared to that man? ”
"Dad, do you mean Old Li?"
Fox Otomo nodded.
There is only one bachelor in Hujia Village, Lao Li Tou, he is the only one in the family, and the fifty-year-old person has not even married a daughter-in-law.
"Lao Li Tou is a well-known lazy man in our village, can he compare with our family?" Fox Xiaomei didn't believe it. Even if their family is poor, no matter what, Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang have always worked hard and worked hard to earn money, how can the old Li Tou who grows some rice in the field be sparse and waterlogged, how can he be richer than their family.
"Don't believe it, I've seen Lao Li Tou go to the market to buy meat in the past few days." In order to prove that what he said was true, Fox Dayou also clearly depicted how many pieces of meat Lao Li Tou bought one day. At that time, he saw Lao Li Tou carrying a large piece of meat, not to mention that it was not a taste, an old bachelor was better than his family, how could he be embarrassed?
Wei Sanniang, who was holding the green vegetable soup recently, said to Hu Xiaomei: "Don't listen to your father's bragging, before harvesting rice, I heard that Lao Li Tou borrowed rice from people everywhere!" ”
Hearing Wei Sanniang say this, Fox Dayou's heart suddenly brightened, and many people will take some to sell after receiving or selling grains, so that they can exchange for silver. happily beckoned his wife and children to start eating.
As soon as the family picked up the dishes and chopsticks, there was a sudden noise outside.
Then I heard a knock on the door.
When Hu Xiaomei opened the door, the door just opened, and she saw a gray corner at the door, Tang Daming was impatiently holding a cigarette stick on the wall, knocking on the cigarette ash while knocking on the door.
Seeing that the courtyard door finally opened a crack, he immediately came to his senses, and the voice of complaining reached the ears of Hu Xiaomei: "What are you still closing in the middle of the day!" It made me think there was no one at home. He stretched his neck and looked towards the courtyard, there were four people sitting neatly at the table in the hall, he pushed the door with his hand, and then gently patted Hu Xiaomei's shoulder: "It's still the second girl's hands and feet." ”
The words floated past Hu Xiaomei's ears, and the person had already entered the courtyard like a gust of wind, and raised his voice to Wei Sanniang and Hu Dayou and shouted: "I said what kind of famous hall are you two doing, and you closed the courtyard door after a noon, so I went to the field to find a big circle, if I hadn't met Wei Shiming by the river, who knew that your whole family was there!" …… Eh, isn't it that the two of them are discussing something good again......" Crackling Horn said a lot, just about to sit down, suddenly remembered something, slapped his hand on the head, and complained to the fox friend: "Look at all the good things you did, I almost forgot." ”
Before the words were finished, the soles of the feet were like stepping on the wind, and the people went out of the yard again, and the fox family looked at each other, and the fox fence, who had been immersed in eating, puffed out his cheeks and muttered: "What is the village chief crazy again?" ”
Wei Sanniang knocked chopsticks on his head, the fox fence almost squirted out the rice in his mouth, and looked at Wei Sanniang's angry eyes, stretched his neck to choke the words in his throat, and didn't dare to say more.
Tang Daming hurriedly walked out of the courtyard of Hu Xiaomei's house, and the time for the two meals returned, but there was still one person behind him, but he was a servant who had come to Hujia Village that day.
Fox Dayou and the others didn't dare to slack off, they got up one after another, let them sit, and politely invited the official to eat.
The official waved his hand, with a serious face, his eyes had seen the yard clearly from the moment he entered the door, three main rooms, a side house, a chicken shed next to it, the yard was cleaned cleanly, and the things were placed in a regular manner, he quickly retracted his eyes, and had a rough judgment on the life style of this big family, and looked at Hu Dayou and others: "I just came to see it according to the routine." But his ears were keenly pricked up, and he watched the situation in the room.
These words were vague, Hu Dayou and Wei Sanniang secretly pondered in their hearts, and still politely moved the stool and invited the official and Tang Daming to sit in the courtyard. The official waved his hand lukewarmly, he didn't mean to sit at all, he looked businesslike, Tang Daming naturally didn't sit well, and helped explain next to him: "...... Although it was not gold and silver bracelets, it was all food, chicken, duck and fish...... The adults came to remind us to pay more attention to the movement outside at night, and it happened that I heard that the Otomo brothers met thirteen in the market yesterday, and this adult wanted to come over and ask about the situation. ”
A room full of people were surprised, but Fox Dayou was surprised, he didn't say anything about it, how could the village chief and this official know? And Hu Xiaomei and the others were surprised that Fox Dayou actually met the thirteen who said goodbye in the bazaar, but they didn't even hear him mention it, and even Wei Sanniang didn't know.
"The identity of the thirteenth is unknown, suddenly appeared and suddenly left Hujia Village, and yesterday appeared in the town for no reason, and the village was stolen at night, this fact is a bit of a coincidence, if you know anything, you must be honest." The words were straightforward, and the tone was very serious, if it weren't in their own yard, Hu Xiaomei and the others would have a feeling that they were interrogating prisoners.
The last time the people from the county government came, Hu Dayou and Hu Xiaomei explained everything clearly, and there were witnesses from a village, who had no clear relationship with Thirteen. At this time, I don't know who said what I heard, but it was such an attitude.
There was some annoyance in the hearts of several people. But the other party was a servant, and he didn't dare to attack.
Fox Dayou breathed a sigh of relief, and honestly told the story of meeting Thirteen: "...... Suddenly, I saw him come out of the market carrying a rag bag, because he had said goodbye before, so I stopped him...... Seeing that he was very hungry, he scooped two bowls of bean curd for him, and kindly gave him a few copper plates, after all, he helped my daughter...... Because I didn't know where he came from, I always remembered the advice of the previous adults, so I kindly persuaded him to take the initiative to go to the Yamen...... Those who are clean are self-purifying, they have never done it, and they are afraid of something. He promised me at that time that he would go to the Yamen...... Why, didn't he go to the yamen to explain? The tone was not slow, not hurried, methodical, and spoke very smoothly.
The official frowned slightly, glanced at Fox Dayou, and said, "You didn't ask him where he went after leaving Hujia Village?" ”
Fox Dayou was stunned and said, "No." At that time, he was only concerned about persuading him to go to the yamen to report, but he forgot to ask this, and besides, when he saw people in the market, shouldn't he have stayed in the town?
"Do you know where he went?" Ya Gong said.
Fox Dayou shook his head, the place where he set up his stall was originally the most crowded place, Thirteen took a rag bag and wandered around the market, how did he know where he went in the end.
The official asked two more questions, then left, and before leaving, he instructed Hu Dayou: "If you meet Thirteen next time, you must notify us, or you can go to the mayor's mansion." Also, in the past few days, you should not go far away, we will summon you at any time if we have something. ”
This tone almost regarded him as a fellow party of the suspect!
Fox Dayou's face was ugly.
Wei Sanniang and the others all had stiff faces. (To be continued......)
