155 Criticism
"Good, good, good," the smile on Aunt Ju's face was even brighter, and her eyes were shining, "With this blanket, my legs are warm, and my heart is warmer. ”
"She just did it, what is this, you deserve such a compliment," the mother said disapprerovantly, "Besides, this girl called you a godmother, isn't it right to be filial to you." ”
"It should, it should, it should," Aunt Ju smiled kindly and heartwarmingly, "I am the filial piety of the rare Fang'er girl." ”
As Aunt Ju spoke, her eyes were intentionally or unintentionally tied to her son Li Yong, who was driving the car in front. However, according to the eldest mother, she only glanced at it slightly, immediately closed her gaze, changed the topic in her mouth, and said to her mother, "In the past few days, I am still worried about the recent events in your family, and I am worried that my old sister Ni will not be able to take time, at most the younger generation will go shopping." ”
As soon as her mother's mind turned, she already knew that Aunt Ju had heard about Zhang Danian's visit that day. Zhang Danian came to the door with such fanfare, how much money in the surrounding villages has never seen such a big battle, and it is not strange that Aunt Ju can hear the wind.
"I was busy a few days ago," my mother nodded, and said in a slightly proud tone, "I guess my old sister has also heard about it, it's almost the New Year, and our family has taken over another business, and we want to pickle a batch of radish strips before the year." ”
"This is a good thing, a great good thing," Aunt Ju said with sincere joy on her face, and said with honor, "Over the years, our family in ten miles and eight villages, that is, our Li Zigou has a family doing business in the county, and the eyelids of Li Minghua's family are getting higher and higher, and no one is in her eyes, as if she is the most noble in the world." This time, you are also doing business with the big shops in the county, look at how crazy she will be in the future, her face is so angry that she is green all day long. ”
Aunt Ju said with a gloating face, and laughed happily 'hahaha', as if she remembered the angry appearance of Li Minghua's family, which made her happy.
Hearing Aunt Ju mention this Li Minghua's family, the mother's face also changed, and the old things came to mind at one time, Li Minghua was still a village in Li Zigou at that time, and the situation was more flexible, and his own head was also a temper, the two families often came and went, and their husband and wife were Li Jinrong's children, one year younger than Dashan, and they were calm and polite at a young age, whether it was with Yunhua or Yunfang sisters, it was appropriate.
At that time, the Li family and the Lan family were both Zhuang families with similar family backgrounds, and Li Minghua especially liked Yunfang like the pink carved jade masonry at that time, and the two families gradually had the meaning of marrying families. However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and the beautiful and lovely Yun Fang was bitten by a snake, although she saved her life, but she had a tumor on her face inexplicably.
Misfortune is not a one-way street, the sensible brother Dashan thought about cooking medicine for his sister, and broke his leg again. The two children of the Lan family suffered an accident, and the sky of the Lan family almost collapsed. Li Minghua and his wife looked at Yun Fang like that, and immediately dispelled the idea of getting married, and the two families gradually broke off contact.
Later, in order to see a doctor for the children, the Lan family's already not thick family foundation became thinner, and even borrowed some foreign debts, and Lan Qingsheng, who was in charge, gradually stopped thinking about other things, farming at home steadily, and helping people in the surrounding villages to build houses and panpankang in their spare time, subsidizing the family, thinking of pulling the children up safely.
However, Li Minghua, who is active-minded, has spent more than ten years of accumulation and hard work to open a shop in the county, make money and buy land at home, and also hire a maid and wife, as if he is the richest person in this side, and Li Minghua's family has also grown their eyes to the top of the brain.
After only more than ten years of hard work, the situation of the Lan and Li families is so different, and the mother thought with emotion, originally thought that after the two families broke off contact, there would be no intersection in the future. Unexpectedly, they just started selling radish strips, and they provoked the Li family again, first that Li Jinrong borrowed a lantern, and then he came to buy radish strips to peek at the secret recipe of the Lan family, and then he and Yun Fang grabbed safflower seeds, one by one, which made people angry.
Now I heard Aunt Ju mention Li Jinrong's mother-the Li Minghua family, the mother remembered the new hatred and old hatred, and couldn't help but straighten her back, snorted softly, and said disdainfully, "I have also heard of your Li Zigou, Li Minghua's family, and their family has only become rich in the past few years, so I don't look at the villagers in the neighborhood, I look at their shop, it must be a rabbit's tail that can't grow!"
Aunt Ju looked at the indignation on her mother's face, and listened to her tone of voice that was not good, but she didn't think much about it, thinking that it was because Li Jinrong frequently appeared in their Lan family's business during this time, and said complimentingly, "Yes, those who really do big business in the long run have to be like your Lan family, and they are kind, and everyone can follow the light, and the surrounding and harmonious people can grow far away." ”
Aunt Ju's words are not all compliments, she saw with her own eyes that the Lan family owes the big fat pig on credit, the price of fat pigs has been declining all the way in the past few days, and it is about to be lower than the price of fifty yuan per head, but the Lan family still gave a fixed amount of twenty yuan according to the promise, and then made up eighty yuan for each big fat pig at the end of the year.
And the safflower seeds on the hillside, which have been left to fend for generations and have not been cared for, and no one has ever thought that that thing can be exchanged for money. But it is such a thing, but it was taken by the Lan family, and it was even possible to exchange a basket for a bowl of radish strips, so that later the Li family kid didn't know what bad water he had, and he had to rob the Lan family, and bought the safflower seeds with a basket of three pennies, and the children around him got a few small bucks from it.
Aunt Ju thought of this, and her mother also thought of this, her smile became even brighter, and she said humbly, "The old sister praised, we are now doing some small business, and our ability is limited." However, we will never spare any effort when we can make it more convenient for the big guys. If you can do it for a long time, it will also rely on the help of the villagers. ”
"That's the principle, no matter how big or small the business is, the principle is the same. Aunt Ju echoed, "When we see that Li Minghua's family, I have to give her a good meal, and let her know that it is not her family who does business, but there is no semicolon like her!"
Yun Fang silently listened to Aunt Ju and her mother chatting back and forth, and imagined in her heart, if the Li family knew what kind of mentality they would have had if they had taken the line of Fuxiang's old shop through Zhang Danian, would they regret the shady ghost tricks they had done in order to get the secret recipe for pickling radish strips?
While everyone was talking, Li Yonglian had already driven the carriage to the Gegou Daji.
Because Li Yong drove the carriage around in a circle, he first rushed to Songpotun to pick up the Lan family, and then when he arrived at the market, he was already a little later than others, and the market was bustling with people.
There were too many people in the market, and the carriage couldn't catch up at all, so Li Yonglian and Dashan discussed how to store the carriage in the racecourse first, and then proposed that everyone act separately, and the two of them were responsible for buying firecrackers, and then they quietly swept everyone's expressions with their eyes.
Xiaoshi looked at Dashan and Li Yonglian, who were looking at each other, and then looked at Niang and Ju Damiang, who were a little spoiled and embarrassed, and chuckled and said that he could accompany the women to buy things, help carry things, and let Dashan and Li Yonglian go shopping to their heart's content, and gather at the horse farm at noon.
When the mother heard this, her eyes were full of relief when she looked at Xiao Shi again, and Aunt Ju stared at Li Yonglian's expression, but she grinded her teeth and hated that iron could not become steel, but because of the face of the Lan family, she didn't want to say anything, she just glanced at her son hatefully, and watched him and Dashan leave her sight one after another.
