Chapter Twenty-Four: Unmatched
Feng Lao Niang and Ping'an went out for most of the day before coming back, and Yunzhu went over to take a look.
The soup has been burned to the point where only half of it is left. Ping An took out a few pieces of paper and showed them to Yunzhu. Yun Zhu looked at it, and it was also like her, densely marking the word "positive".
"Although it was not a fair today, it sold very well. It's the money bag. You count the bowls first, and then count the money, and see if it's right. ”
Yunzhu smiled: "I don't even know who to believe in Huaishu Village, if you can't believe it." She only counted how many bowls she sold, not how much money she sold.
Today sold twenty-one more bowls than yesterday.
After Yunzhu finished counting, he asked with a smile, "Can you two be busy?" ”
Ping An said: "It's a little rushed. If only Sister-in-law Song was willing to go along. ”
Yunzhu smiled slightly, but her heart was bitter, she had a reason not to go.
Mrs. Feng asked Ping'an to clean the cauldron, poured out the soup in the bucket, and called Xiangmei again: "Just this soup, let's eat noodles tonight." You go and meet. On the other hand, he said to Yunzhu: "Song Niangzi, you will also call Tian Tian over." Let's eat it all in one place. ”
Yunzhu waved his hand and said, "No need, there is still leftover food at home, just heat it up and eat it." ”
"What's so delicious about leftovers, the taste under this soup is good. If you think about it, after cooking so many vegetables, the taste of the meat is in it. It's not new. Ping'an, their brother and sister ate very well last night. I said it would be nice to take it below. Are you still polite to our family? If it weren't for you, would we have such a way to make money? Don't see it soon. ”
Yunzhu said: "It's not that I'm hypocritical, it's really ...... The gossip is not good. If I can avoid it, I can avoid it. It's not good to mix it in one place. "Let Ping An calculate the money again.
Yun Zhu took her share of the money and left the Feng family.
In the house, Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Ping glanced at each other, Mrs. Feng had a calm face and said, "Is this good or bad?" ”
Peace and silence.
Xiangmei helped reconcile the noodles, and Mrs. Feng came to stretch the noodles.
Xiangmei said that she wanted to help Tian Tian make shoes, and Mrs. Feng sighed: "This is just right." If it weren't for the idea that Song Niangzi came up with, she would have the ability to match the base material. Where can we make money so easily. ”
Xiangmei also said that Qiaoyu and Peach Blossom went to visit Yunzhu, and Mrs. Feng said: "This daughter of the Liu stonemason family has a good personality, and she is also here." It seems that I haven't decided on a marriage yet, Meizi, you can help me to test the temptation. ”
Xiangmei immediately understood what her mother was thinking, and hurriedly said, "Does my mother want to tell her to my brother?" ”
Feng Lao Niang sneered: "I just think about it, if it can really be done, I will definitely like it." Thinking about giving your brother a serious family affair, it was good to block the mouth of that person. Mrs. Song doesn't have so many worries when dealing with our family. ”
Xiangmei thought to herself, Liu Stonemason's family was not bad, and I heard that Qiaoyu was also pampered at home. Although the family also has fields and land, they rarely let her work in the fields, and when the sun is big, she has to take a flower umbrella before going out, for fear of tanning. Pampered like a flower. Where would such a daughter look down on their family.
Xiangmei glanced at her mother lightly, and tried to speak: "I'm afraid that their Liu family will not look down on our family." Qiaoyu is also sixteen years old. I haven't said kiss, I must be looking for a better family. It certainly won't be someone like us. ”
Mrs. Feng was nagged by her daughter like this, and even her ears turned red. I feel that I can't live with a pair of children, if the family situation can be better, my son will not be delayed here.
Feng Ping'an heard these words outside, walked straight in, and said to her mother, "Mother, don't bother thinking in vain. I don't marry a girl from the Liu family. ”
Feng Lao Niang was a little surprised and said, "Why, you still don't look down on others?" ”
"It's not that I don't despise it, it's that I don't deserve it. What if you don't get married, I will give my mother a pension. ”
Ping'an's words made Feng Lao Niang half angry, and said: "You still say such things to anger me, do you sincerely want our Feng family to cut off their children and grandchildren?" ”
Ping'an said: "Where do I dare." ”
"Then don't say such things to me. If you give me a pension, who will give you a pension in the future? Although our Feng family is poor, I also have backbone, and I will never let the Feng family cut off the incense. Otherwise, when I die, I will see your father, your grandfather, and your grandfather, how can I explain to them? Mrs. Feng said, feeling aggrieved in her heart, thinking that after her husband's death, it was not easy over the years, and the tears rolled down.
Seeing his mother like this, where did he still have the heart to eat noodles, he stomped his feet, sighed, turned his head and left.
Xiangmei was originally helping to help, but her mother's brother was like this, she also blocked her heart and wiped her tears silently.
Old Lady Feng calmed down and thought for a while and said, "Hey, don't sigh like this. This day will also be lived. She stretched the noodles neatly, waiting until the noodles with uniform thickness appeared. The water and plum in the pot are also boiling.
Mrs. Feng boiled all the noodles in the pot, and the rest of the soup was also heated. Mrs. Feng boiled some leftover cabbage leaves. It's all in the broth. Sprinkle with the right amount of salt and chopped green onions. I dripped some sesame oil again, steaming hot, and fragrant.
Xiangmei looked at the tempting noodles and thought to herself that she could eat one bowl at a time.
Mrs. Feng took a bowl first, sandwiched half a bowl of noodles, and poured some soup. There was still some minced meat left at the bottom, and she had caught some of it too. After finishing it, he said to Xiangmei, "You send this to the next door." ”
Xiangmei understood and agreed coolly.
Feng Ping'an looked at the big bowl of steaming noodles in front of him, and he was in no mood at the moment. After taking two bites, he said, "I'm not hungry." ”
Feng Lao Niang said: "Aren't you ruining things? Are you still angry with me? ”
Ping An hurriedly said: "My son doesn't dare." ”
This dinner was extremely boring. Ping An went back to his room early. He was lying on a bamboo bed, and there was not a single light in the room. His eyes widened in the night, and his mind raced to think about something.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a male in this family, if his father hadn't left early, he would have joined the army in his teens. The friends in the village praised him for his good archery skills, and maybe he could even make a name for himself. When the time comes, he will be able to take his mother and sister out and enjoy the blessings. and will not be so destitute.
It's just that now he can't leave, and his sister is gradually reaching the age of saying goodbye, how can he leave his mother at home alone. After all, my mother is getting older, and her body is not as good as before. He is a filial son, and if he goes out and breaks through, he may not be able to succeed. He couldn't give up this home.
As for his family affairs, Feng Ping'an had to think about it a few years ago, but now he doesn't think much about it. Most of the girls in the village disliked their family. There are also matchmakers who introduce neighboring villages, but as long as they come to his house to see, they all dispel this idea one after another.
Ping An firmly believes that he will be able to live alone in the future.
