Chapter 41: Dishonesty
After Xiangqin and Duan Wen walked away, Duan Qiuping got up from the side of the road, and at this time she was already blue and swollen, and her left eye couldn't open.
She limped barefoot and followed the two men from a distance.
The sky is blue, and the wind is cold.
Even when the sun is shining, parsley doesn't feel a trace of warmth.
Back in Duanjiazhuang, he went straight to the south courtyard, and Duan Yongyuan, who was grinding chili peppers in front of the stone mill, shouted to Xue Danfeng, who was cooking toon in the kitchen:
"Mother, the fire is small, don't stick to the pot!" Seeing Duan Wen coming back with Parsley, he asked, "Is my aunt okay?" ”
When Dou came to this courtyard this morning to call people, she said something strange and scary.
Duan Wen snorted angrily and mocked: "She can't die!" When he turned back, his face softened, and he said to Parsley, "Parsley, you go back to the courtyard and sleep first." ”
Parsley hadn't slept well for a day or two nights, and her eyes were bloodshot and her face was as white as paper.
Parsley nodded, but said, "I'll soak the soybeans first." ”
There was a set at the intersection yesterday, so there were more people than usual. Although the sales rate is not fast, the hot tofu is finally sold out.
Yesterday she used five kilograms of soybeans in parsley, but today she didn't dare to use so much, so she lost two kilograms.
Duan Wen still wanted to take the work from Xiangqin, but he didn't know how many soybeans to use, so he kept observing in front of her.
Seeing that Parsley weighed only three kilograms of soybeans with a weighing rod, Duan Wen interjected, "It's too little, right?" ”
Significantly much less than yesterday.
On the first day of opening a business, whether the business is good or bad, it is affected by many factors, and parsley is not sure.
"There was a market at the intersection yesterday, and there were many people, so there were many people who bought hot tofu." Xiangqin is also a layman in business, and she doesn't have an accurate idea of how much hot tofu to make, so she can only explore day by day, but this is the next day. "Let's get some of them first, it's better to get less than more."
Duan Wen pondered, as if he was measuring, "It depends on the situation, if there is too much less, it is a big deal, I will be busy for a while, and I will make some more on the same day." He took the parsley and the bucket of soybeans in front of him into his hand, "Leave the rest to me, you go back to sleep." ”
After speaking, Duan Wen carried the bucket to the well to roll water.
Xiangqin returned to the small courtyard, and Duan Qiuping, who had a blue nose and swollen face, had already rushed back before her!
Duan Qiuping's face was so frightened that Parsley stopped at the door.
To say that Duan Wen is also ruthless, even Li Laosan has never been so violent to Duan Qiuping.
Duan Qiuping clasped her hands, sat in front of the stove, and stared at the potato beef stew that Dou was making.
"Grandma, where did you get the beef?" This beef is more expensive than mutton, and Parsley didn't think Dou would be willing to buy it.
Dou replied with a smile: "Early in the morning, you sent it to your concubine." There's still a piece left, so I'll take it to the courtyard later. ”
Carsley took off her shoes and went on the bed.
As soon as her head was next to the pillow, her eyes seemed to be glued, and she couldn't open them.
After a while, someone seemed to shake her, and then Duan Qiuping's voice came: "Xiangqin, you haven't worked in that yard yet!" ”
Parsley's mind was groggy and she thought she was dreaming.
At this moment, Dou Shi was annoyed, and knocked on the edge of the pot with a spoon, "What are you arguing about her!" ”
"Don't you sell tofu today?" Duan Qiuping's hand was still pushing parsley.
Dou Shi was on fire, and pointed at her with a spoon, "Xiangqin was busy all day last night, and last night because you didn't sleep all night, I think you still want to find a fight!" ”
Duan Qiuping hurriedly retracted her hand, sitting on the edge of the bed and not daring to say anything.
However, Dou's anger became more and more turbulent like a violent wind and waves, "If you don't work in the future, you won't talk less!" She pushed the pot and said, "Better be dumb!" ”
After sitting quietly for a while, Duan Qiuping couldn't stay idle again.
She lifted the quilt, and when she saw that Parsley had not even taken off her clothes while she was sleeping, she lifted her hands on her.
But Duan Qiuping's hands were still in the pockets of parsley.
Dou's anger disappeared just now, and when he saw Duan Qiuping restless, his anger surged up again, "What are you touching in her pocket?" Does she have gold or silver in her pocket? ”
Duan Qiuping fumbled for a while, but didn't take out anything, and then re-covered the quilt on Parsley.
She was still disappointed and disappointed, "Where do you put the money from selling hot tofu?" ”
Dou Shi laughed angrily, "What's the matter, you still want a piece of the pie?" ”
"I can't take the money from Parsley!" Duan Qiuping is right.
Dou stood up suddenly, making Duan Qiuping's whole person tremble.
"If I hadn't given birth to you, if you hadn't given birth to parsley, you would have seen if we wanted to have anything to do with you! Eat and drink for nothing and ask for money with your face, I think your father beat you too lightly! ”
Duan Qiuping was silent, holding her hands and lowering her head, her body crooked to the meaning of hiding in the Dou clan. She was probably afraid that the spoon in Dou's hand would hit her.
Dou didn't understand, Duan Qiuping was beaten hard, and he hadn't learned to be honest yet. Call her stupid, she also knows to stare at the meat in the pot when it's time to eat. Let's say she's not stupid, why is she the number one again!
After the meal was cooked, Dou took the pot and sent it to the South Courtyard. When she came back, she couldn't find the large piece of raw beef in the basket she had put in before.
Duan Qiuping had been sitting in the room, and Dou asked her, "What about that piece of beef?" ”
Duan Qiuping rolled her eyes, quite gloating, "Just come over and take it away." ”
Dou's qi and blood surged, his eyes were black, and his legs were almost weak. She held the water tank down for a while before she slowly got better.
She shook her fingers, pointed at Duan Qiuping angrily, and said weakly: "In the future, you will eat!" ”
The most worrying person in this courtyard is not the people of their Duan family, and the Dou family is ridiculous when he thinks about it.
Can't let the beef into the stomachs of Feng Lanhua and Duan Erhua's thief couple, Dou knew that she was no more powerful than Feng Lanhua alone, so he went to the southern courtyard and called Duan Wen over.
Duan Wen couldn't knock on the door next door to the small courtyard, so he kicked it directly. He was so strong that he kicked the latch off.
Feng Lanhua was so frightened that she went into the hall and didn't dare to come out, Duan Erhua held the kitchen door, pitiful as if she hadn't eaten for several days, "Dad, mother-"
What's the use of how well he shouts, when the family was separated, I heard him and Feng Lanhua smiling secretly!
Duan Wen raised his hand and pointed at Duan Erhua's nose, glaring at him and warning, "Let me tell you, if you and your daughter-in-law go to my yard to get things again, you don't want to plant anything more in my few acres of land!" ”
Duan Wen took back the beef, and when he went to the small courtyard to serve rice, he saw Duan Qiuping sitting in the house, and he turned his anger to Dou Shi, "Who asked you to let her in!" ”
Dou was silent.
Xiangqin was sleeping in this house, so Duan Wen didn't say much.
Even when the pot and rice were served, he glared at Duan Qiuping, who didn't dare to look up at him, "Give Lao Tzu a little farther away!" ”
The noise around was restless, and Xiangqin slept unsteadily, always feeling like she was stuck in a quagmire, trying to struggle, but her hands and feet were imprisoned by something.
The body is getting heavier and heavier......
