The firewood room of the Zhang family is used to pile up the furniture and other things that are used at home and are reluctant to throw away or are not used for extra purposes, but there are a lot of things in bits and pieces, so although the firewood room is still clean, it takes some effort to clean it up.

Du Qiyue had already drunk three or four cups of tea while sitting in the courtyard, and she couldn't help but be a little impatient. He thought that it would only take a while to clean up a firewood room, but who knew that more than half an hour had passed, and Zhang Renju had not yet cleaned up the firewood room. Seeing that the women and husbands sitting around were about to come over to talk, Du Qiyue regretted a little that he didn't let Wu Momo accompany him just now, at least Wu Momo didn't look like the kind of person who pestered others to ask for everything.

After drinking the last sip of tea in the cup, Du Qiyue was about to go to the back kitchen to have a look, and as soon as he stood up, he heard a young man next to him shouting to him: "Brother Qi Yue, do you still want to drink tea, the water in the teapot is cold, I'll help you go to the kitchen to add a pot!" ”

Du Qiyue turned his head to look, and saw that it was the brother who was staring at him just now, this brother Du Qiyue had never seen it before, and there was no such person in the memory of the original owner, and now this brother ran over and called him Brother Qi Yue, and there was a sense of familiarity in his words, which was strange.

"Which one are you, this brother, I remember we haven't seen each other before?" Du Qiyue asked.

"Brother Qi Yue, we've seen it, and we've seen it several times, but you don't remember it." It was Brother Yun who shouted to stop Du Qiyue, and when he saw Du Qiyue talking to him, he laughed and explained: "I am Brother Yun, and my aunt Zhang Guihua is your eldest aunt, I went to the full moon banquet of several cousins, but we didn't say anything, so my cousin is afraid that he is not very impressed." ”

Du Qiyue wrinkled his brows and thought about it, how could he not dig out the memories related to this Yun Ge'er in his mind. But think about it, among the three brothers of the Du family, Du Fugui and Du Fujin have the worst relationship, and the original owner of the full moon banquet of several cousins is all going to pay a gift money, and then have a meal and leave, and there will be no communication with Zhang Guihua's relatives at all. It is impossible for a person like the original owner to abide by etiquette to pay attention to the brother and girl in Zhang Guihua's relatives or something, and how can he remember an ordinary little brother.

However, with the relationship between him and Du Fujin and his wife, Zhang Guihua's relatives should hate him very much, this little brother specially came to climb the relationship with him, and after a while, Brother Qi Yue shouted for a while, calling one closer than the other, it was like a weasel giving a chicken a hundred years, making people feel that there were no ghosts in it.

According to Du Qiyue's personality, it is right to go away and ignore it, but as soon as this Yun Ge'er came over, the eyes of the women and husbands around him stared straight at them, if Du Qiyue turned around and left, it is estimated that if he couldn't wait for the banquet to start, these people would be able to give him a big hat that no one looked down on his relatives.

So Du Qiyue had no choice but to stand and say: "So that's the case, it's just that relatives don't move around often, and I forgot about it." I'm just going to go to the kitchen to have a look, so I don't have to bother Brother Yun to add tea, I'll just bring this teapot by the way. Saying that, Du Qiyue wanted to reach out and carry the teapot on the table.

Brother Yun would let go of the excuse of following Du Qiyue, quickly took away the teapot, hugged it in his arms and said, "It just so happens that I am also going to help in the kitchen, cousin, I will go with you!" ”

"Let's go together, then." Du Qiyue said with a dry smile, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Brother Yun hurriedly followed, and said to Du Qiyue as he walked: "Cousin, I heard a few very good sentences a few days ago, and I wanted to embroider them on my purse, but I didn't know a few words in the sentences, so I don't know if my cousin can sue me." ”

"What is the sentence?" Du Qiyue asked.

"Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo. There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. Nervous, embarrassed. There are bandits and gentlemen, and they must not be ridiculed. Yun Ge'er recited in a low voice, these sentences were specially learned when he was pestering the youngest son of the village chief's family before.

When Du Qiyue heard this, he paused. There is nothing wrong with these verses mainly praising the virtues of a gentleman, but the last sentence expresses the poet's unforgettable feelings of admiration for the gentleman. Since such a sentence is to be embroidered on the purse, then Brother Yun should know the meaning of this poem, and now read it to him and ask him how to write the words he doesn't know, then there is some meaning in it. Du Qiyue couldn't ask directly about such a thing, so he just pretended not to understand what Brother Yun meant, and continued to walk forward without looking back and said, "What words do you not know?" ”

"I don't know seven or eight of them." Brother Yun muttered, thinking that the more words he didn't know, the more Du Qiyue would be able to say a few more words to him.

"The characters here are all difficult to write, and it's not easy to recognize. I don't have pen and paper, so it's inconvenient to write to you, and I'm going to work now, and I don't have time to write to you, I think Brother Yun, you better ask others. I remember that the grandson of the old birthday boy here reads very well, you can go and ask him. Du Qiyue said, striding into the kitchen, not giving Yun Ge'er a chance to speak again.

"Du Langjun, the kitchen is dirty, why did you come in." Wu Momo was washing vegetables, and when he saw Du Qiyue walking in, he was busy wiping his hands on his apron and stood up.

"I'm sitting outside, so I might as well come in and see what vegetables are available, and then I can make the side dishes in the noodles later." Du Qiyue smiled, walked to the stove and looked at the pork in the big basin on the ground, this pig should have been killed in the morning, and the pork looked very fresh.

Wu Momo pointed to the various vegetables on the table and said: "Du Langjun just looks, the countrymen are making banquets, and there are not many dishes prepared, Du Langjun don't laugh." ”

"What did Zhang Jiafulang say, these dishes are a lot, and the banquet must be sumptuous." Du Qiyue said, this is the truth, the Zhang family has assets, all the fresh vegetables, chicken, duck, fish and all kinds of meat have been prepared, and there are a few plates of expensive fruit snacks on the table, even if it is a person in the town, they may not be able to prepare these things.

Brother Yun saw Du Qiyue patronizing and talking to Wu Momo, so he didn't pay attention to him at all, so he had to take the teapot to add tea hatefully, but his eyes did not leave Du Qiyue's body.

Yun Ge'er's sister-in-law is called Liu Xiaocao, who is also helping in this kitchen, she saw that Yun Ge'er's eyes were about to stick to Du Qiyue's body, so she walked over to block Yun Ge'er in displeasure, and said, "Brother Yun, the tea is about to overflow from the pot, why don't you take it out quickly." ”

"Sister-in-law, I'll help wash the vegetables." Brother Yun covered the lid of the teapot, lifted his sleeves and said.

"What kind of dishes to wash, be careful to stain your moon-white clothes, don't go out quickly, if my mother sees me letting you wash vegetables in the kitchen, it's not me who will be scolded when you turn around." Liu Xiaocao stuffed the teapot into Yun Ge'er's hand, pushed the person out of the kitchen.

Brother Yun had no choice but to walk out. Liu Xiaocao pouted at Brother Yun'er's back, and then went back to the kitchen. A young daughter-in-law who was good friends with Liu Xiaocao walked up to her and whispered, "Didn't that Yun Ge'er of your family look at this Langjun, right?" Didn't he have a crush on the village chief's youngest son? ”

"Isn't the village chief's youngest son married, of course he has to be watched by someone else. Come on, don't pay attention to him, he doesn't look much good, but his heart is higher than the sky, and he spends his days delusionally marrying a rich and handsome man, and he doesn't want to think about how much dowry he has. Liu Xiaocao snorted and said.

"Then why don't you talk about him, how ugly he is."

"What do I say about him, I can only be regarded as half a person in their family, my mother-in-law I don't care about it, she still dislikes every day, if I want to take care of her baby brother, I will definitely make it difficult for me again, I don't care."

"Then it's not good for you if his reputation is bad!"

"Even if he has a good reputation, marrying a rich man will not benefit me at all." Liu Xiaocao said, looking impatient.

It is said that Wei Lanzhi chased Brother Yun to Zhang's house, and met his own grandfather Zhang Daliang and eldest son Zhang Dazhu who rushed back to eat the banquet on the way. Seeing that his mother-in-law was in a hurry, Zhang Daliang grabbed Wei Lanzhi and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Didn't the fifty percent uncle's family invite the master who made longevity noodles today, it turned out to be the man left by your sister-in-law's second uncle's family, saying that it was necessary to pay three times for a trip, and our brother was interested when he heard it. Didn't he just run home and ask my man's name, saying that he wanted to be familiar with people, I was afraid that he would do something wrong again, and now I was about to stare at it. Wei Lanzhi gasped twice and said.

"What nonsense! The little brother's family knows that they are staring at other people's grandfathers all day long, and they have been following the village chief's youngest son's ass for so long, and they haven't seen him fart. Now again, I don't think he even wants face. Zhang Daliang said that the brother in the family was angry, and he didn't know how to develop a willful and reckless character, he didn't listen to it once as a father, and he didn't care about doing things.

Wei Lanzhi twisted Zhang Daliang's arm hard and said, "You dead old man, why are you scolding your brother so much!" If you are out of the ordinary, earn more dowry for your brother, he can worry about his own marriage, it's not that the family is poor, our brother is afraid of marrying a poor man, and he wants to fight for himself and find a better man! ”

"Okay, okay, you mother, just spoil him, when he loses face and can't find a good man, you will cry!" Zhang Daliang pulled Wei Lanzhi's arm and walked towards Zhang's house with a snort.

Zhang Dazhu didn't leave, but rolled his eyes and pulled Wei Lanzhi and asked, "Mother, is this man you said reliable?" ”

"Aren't I just going to see it, but you don't know how high our brother's vision is, and his appearance will definitely not be bad if he thinks about it. I just don't know what the character is. If the character looks good, then the matter is reliable. Wei Lanzhi said with an eyelid.

"Then the man can really make three times of money by making noodles once?" Zhang Dazhu asked again.

"That can be wrong, if you can't make money, how can our brother look at it." Wei Lanzhi said.

"I think we have to plan well about this, mother, you also know that the relationship between my aunt and her second uncle's family is not very good, I am afraid that when the time comes, Brother Yun will fall in love with others, but people will not look down on Brother Yun." Zhang Dazhu said.

"Dazhu, what do you mean?" Wei Lanzhi asked.

"I mean, if that guy is good, we'll take this opportunity today to settle the matter between him and Brother Yun!"
