Hearing the eldest lady say this, Yun Fang felt her simplicity and kindness from the bottom of her heart, pressed the bowl into her hand again, and sincerely persuaded, "Auntie, you can keep it when you are old, we still have what is left here, just take it to this eldest brother later." ”

"This, this ,......" Yun Fang sent it so sincerely, the eldest lady was relieved, and said with a smile, "It seems that your brothers and sisters have all calculated it, so my wife will accept it with a cheeky face." Come, my veil has just been washed, and it is poured out of it. ”

"It's Auntie, you're too unrealistic," Yun Fang also said mischievously, "If you go over there in the afternoon, our brothers and sisters won't have to work so hard." ”

"You girl," the old lady said with a smile, "The little mouth is so powerful, no matter how you say it, it's an old woman's son." ”

"Hehe, your old man eats more salt than we eat, no matter how clever we are, we can't escape your eyes. Yun Fang smiled 'hehe' and joked with this strange and familiar old lady.

"I don't see it, you little girl, you are a big ghost, and the old woman can't see through you. The old lady looked at most of Yunfang's face covered by the big leather hat half-truthfully, and said with a smile.

"By the way, Auntie, after talking for a long time, we don't know how to call you yet, and we don't know how to say hello next time we meet. Yun Fang no longer dwelled on the topic of whether she was a small ghost or not, and naturally changed the topic.

"I, the people in the village call me Aunt Ju, and you should call me that," the old lady said kindly, and asked, "What about you, little girl?"

"I am the eldest of the Lan family, my big name is Yunfang, you old man can call me Fang'er or Lan Xiaoyi. Yun Fang thought for a moment and said generously.

Aunt Ju's expression changed, and she laughed again, "Okay, okay, the old woman remembers, and it will be strange to call you Lan Xiaoqi in the future, and it will be strange to stand up." ”

"Okay, okay, I also like this title, in the future, Aunt Ju will remember to come to Songpotun to see me when she has time." ”

Yun Fang didn't ignore the change in the look on Aunt Ju's face when she first learned that she was the eldest of the Lan family, but she was even more grateful for the smile she quickly raised, the smile was real, and it was not contrived mixed with other ingredients, Yun Fang thanked this old lady from the bottom of her heart for this, and thanked her for knowing that she had an ugly face or was willing to give her a smile without hesitation.

Yun Fang and the eldest lady were chatting energetically, Xiaoshi came over with a lantern, and interjected, "Why do you need to find a time, there are still a few days before our family will do a big thing, please invite Aunt Ju to come over and be lively together." ”

"Your family is also going to have a happy event?" the smile on Aunt Ju's face became even bigger, and she asked with joy.

"Yes, yes," Yun Fang said happily, "In a few days, it will be the big day for Brother Shi and my sister Yunhua to get engaged, please Aunt Ju must come to their engagement banquet." ”

"I'll pick you up then. Dashan is even more arrogant, and promises loudly.

"You children, it's so good, my wife hasn't been so happy for a long time," Aunt Ju said happily, "There must be a lot of chores that day, you don't have to pick me up, I know the way to Songpotun, can I still find your house if I find the village?" Okay, okay, it's not too early, if you don't go back, the family should be in a hurry, let's go." ”

Aunt Ju is empathetic, and when she heard about the happy event, she knew that there were a lot of things, and she agreed to find it by herself without twisting it at all. Yun Fang liked this Aunt Ju more and more, she reluctantly shook Aunt Ju's sleeve, and said crisply, "Auntie, you must come that day, I will wait for you." ”

Aunt Ju patted Yun Fang's shoulder affectionately, and urged with a smile, "Okay, I will definitely go if I say go, don't worry, don't worry about it, go home quickly." ”

Aunt Ju reluctantly arrived goodbye, and Yun Fang drove the carriage on the road again, this time with a big lock with a burden.

Xiaoshi was still sitting on the wheel in front of him to drive the carriage, and Dashan was worried that the horse would not be able to see the road under his feet in the dark, so he also moved to the wheel in front of him with a lantern, and Yun Fang and Shen were left with the big silent lock on the chariot.

Yun Fang remembered her promise to Aunt Ju, and after she stabilized herself on the car, she turned around and laboriously fished out a bowl of radish strips from the vegetable bowl.

Yun Fang turned around, sent the radish strips to the big lock, and said softly, "Brother lock, we have these dried radishes left, you can take them back to the quarry and eat them slowly." ”

"I, I, I don't have any money. The big lock held back for a long time, holding himself back with a big red face, before he stammered these words.

In fact, as early as when Yun Fang and the others went to Lizigou to change radish strips, they heard it from the big lock that happened to be returning home from the quarry. It's just that they have many brothers and sisters, and their parents are all honest, and there is no income all year round, and the radishes grown by their own hands are almost eaten by the children.

The only thing in the family is the hundreds of big money that the big lock exchanged for his life from the quarry, some of this money is used to buy some necessary daily necessities, and the rest is to be saved, the big lock is in his twenties, and he hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, so they have to save money to ask for a daughter-in-law for him.

Therefore, even if others say that the dried radish is delicious, the big lock family did not go out to see, they know their own situation, they are reluctant to buy any superfluous things, let alone a bowl of radish strips for two pennies, in the eyes of their family, it is a sky-high price.

Yun Fang listened to the big lock stammering, knew that he had misunderstood himself, and quickly explained, "Brother big lock, this is what we gave you, and you don't need to spend money." ”

"This is unacceptable," said the big lock with a red face as if shaking his head, "I know that your bowl of dried radishes can sell two big men, I, how can I take you for nothing." ”

"Actually, it can't be regarded as a free gift to you," Yun Fang's mind quickly turned a few times, and said with a smile, "We gave you this bowl of radish strips, we have something to ask you to help with." ”

"Yes, something, please, please let me help?" The big lock raised his head in disbelief, stared at Yun Fang's big leather hat, and asked, "I, I'm a quarry salesman, that is, I exchange my life for two hard-earned money, I, how can I help you?"

Yun Fang smiled lightly, sent the radish strips to the big lock, and said a little solemnly, "It is precisely because the big lock brother works in the quarry that I asked you to help." ”

The big lock held the bowl of radish strips in vain, a little at a loss. If he didn't accept it, he really couldn't stand the temptation of this delicacy, so he couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth, and stammered, "You, what do you say, how do you want me to help?"

"That's right," Yun Fang pushed the radish strips to the side of the big lock again, and said thoughtfully, "You can taste it first, don't you see if it's delicious?" ”

"Well," Da Suo swallowed and spat again, took the chopsticks handed over by Yun Fang, tentatively took a radish strip and put it in his mouth, as soon as the radish strip entered his mouth, he immediately put a satisfied smile on his face, and after eating one, he deliberately took another one, and ate it with his eyes glared.

Yun Fang looked at the happy look of the big lock eating, and her heart was also happy, after all, it was something that she pickled with her own hands, and she felt satisfied in her heart to get such recognition from others.

Coughing lightly, Yun Fang sorted out her thoughts again, and waited for the big lock to reluctantly put down her chopsticks, and then she asked softly, "I heard Aunt Ju say just now, you are all selling a lot of energy in the quarry, and you need to eat more salty things, so what do you usually eat?"

"We usually do it," Da Suo tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and said, "The quarry will provide some corn kernel rice, and if you pay for the vegetables, you will pay for it yourself, and if the conditions are good, you will eat better, and if the conditions are poor, you will eat more." ”
