Chapter Twenty-Five: The Little Patriarch of the "Gluttonous".
Leaving from the Zhou family's restaurant, Gui Chun let go of his biggest concern, his steps were a little brisk, and he fulfilled the preface with great interest, and took Gui Chongyang to eat cold noodles at the big gathering.
As Gui Chun said, on both sides of the road in the direction of the wharf, one stall after another, put out a long distance, and Gui Chongyang was dazzled.
There are those who sell ready-to-wear clothes, some sell groceries, some sell vegetables, chickens and ducks, and there is only half of the street that sells all kinds of snacks and food.
Gui Chongyang watched it in his eyes, listened to all kinds of cries in his ears, and had a plan in his heart.
At this time, Gui Chun had already found a place and pulled Gui Chongyang to a stall next to him and sat down. It is said to be a stall, but it is just a pick, with a board horizontally on it, and a snack table is made.
"How do you sell jelly?" Gui Chun asked.
"The old price, three pennies and one or two big bowls."
"A bowl of cold noodles without garlic." Gui Chun greeted the old man who sold cold powder.
The old man was in his fifties, his body was slumped, and his clothes were washed white, but they were clean.
The old man answered, bent down and opened the wooden barrel under the pick, and took out a bowl full of tadpole-like cold powder, and added the shredded carrots and cucumbers cut in the small basin next to him, and put soy sauce and balsamic vinegar on it and sent it to Gui Chun.
Gui Chun pushed it in front of Gui Chongyang: "Eat quickly, this cold powder stall has been on the table for more than ten years, and it is a delicious food that can be counted on the set." ”
Where can Gui Chongyang eat alone, took two pairs of chopsticks, and stuffed them into Gui Chun's hand,
"Let's eat together." Not long after eating cold noodles with sesame sauce just now, Gui Chongyang was still full, but he was still a little interested when he saw fresh food.
Gui Chun saw that this bowl of cold noodles was full of weight, so he also took the chopsticks.
The old man looked at it behind the stall, and handed over an empty bowl with a smile: "The next generation." ”
Gui Chun thanked him and took the empty bowl. Gui Chongyang dialed most of it before he buried his head in eating.
This first bite is amazing, just because this cold powder is cold, and it will iron a lot in one bite on this hot day. There is vinegar appetizing, shredded radish and shredded cucumber are refreshing, and you can't put it down after eating.
The two brothers buried their heads in hard work and ate the cold noodles cleanly.
Gui Chun took out the three-penny money that had been prepared and handed it to the old man.
Gui Chongyang pointed to the wooden barrel containing the cold powder, and said curiously: "Uncle, there are ice cubes in here?" ”
The old man saw that the young man in the long shirt was amiable, so he opened the barrel: "Yes, on this hot day, the cold powder is stored by this, and it is cool to eat it in the mouth." ”
Gui Chongyang looked at it, and the barrel was brushed with tung oil, and there were a few fist-sized ice cubes in it, and there was a muslin bag on it, which contained cold powder.
Leaving the cold noodle stall, Gui Chongyang was attracted by the shop selling iced sour plum soup, and his eyes stuck to the wooden barrel of sour plum soup and couldn't move.
Gui Chun hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to eat it next time." ”
Gui Chunyuan felt that this little cousin, this little adult, was a little childish when he saw it now. But today, I have already eaten sesame cold noodles and cold noodles, and if I eat delicious food, I will be banned. Even if you feel sorry for your little cousin, you won't be a loser like that.
Gui Chongyang nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, let's take a look at the next episode." ”
The two little brothers originally came to see Guiqiu, but now that the hidden danger has been successfully solved, in the afternoon, the two left the market and planned to return to Mujia Village.
In the afternoon, the sun is even sunnier, and when I come, I take a car, and there is no reason to go back against the sun.
Gui Chongyang didn't wait for Gui Chun to speak, so he took out the six-cent car fare and said, "Brother Chun is not allowed to rob me, the remaining dozens of dollars are saved by Second Brother Qiu, don't move casually." ”
Gui Chun hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm eating a little bit, why don't I go back?" ”
"Brother Chun, don't be long-winded, am I my younger brother, just watch you wander around and take the car back by yourself?" Gui Chongyang Road.
Gui Chun made up his mind at this time, but he still persuaded Gui Chongyang: "I will use the money of Xiao Er, and you should not move it because of the money given by your aunt." ”
Gui Chongyang was dissatisfied: "Brother Chun is not right, they are all blood relatives, how can they distinguish between far and near?" Why is the second brother's money so that the aunt's money can't be used? Isn't my aunt my own? ”
Gui Chongyang took the hundred articles given by Mei's family to heart, just because he really respected her as his aunt, so now he is holding the money in his purse.
Gui Chun waved his hand and said: "I didn't mean that, I was thinking that it was not easy for my cousin, I worked day and night in the first few years, and the money I earned had to support my grandmother, and I had to pull Cousin Mei, and I didn't care about myself at all." My cousin is not yet thirty, and it is not too late to get married. ”
Mei's is literate and has a female red, not yet thirty years old, as long as she wants to get married, she doesn't worry about getting married.
Gui Chongyang's little face became serious: "It's been delayed all these years, and it's not bad for a year and a half." Now that the family is in such a situation, they can't prepare a decent dowry for their aunt, what can they say about a good family? I can't say that the other party is the female celebrity who takes a fancy to my aunt, and she marries her back and makes a call. ”
Gui Chun thought about it a few years ago, when he asked the matchmaker to inquire about Mei's, it was indeed a poor family and hoped that Mei's would make money to supplement the family. Although the little cousin is small, this speech is in line with the world.
After talking, the two arrived at the edge of the town and waited for the bus under the big tree.
After only half a cup of tea, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove out of the town.
Gui Chun walked out from under the shade of the tree, and was just about to step forward to stop the carriage, when he was surprised: "Huh? Fifth uncle! ”
It turned out that there was a coachman sitting on one side of the wheel, and it was none other than Jiang Wuye sitting on the other side.
When Jiang Wuye saw the two nephews, he stopped the carriage, thinking that the two of them had come to the market, but they were empty-handed, so he guessed: "This is to see Xiao Er?" Your aunt is also here, come and see you. ”
Gui Chongyang followed Gui Chun forward, and saw the carriage curtain open, revealing a thin young woman.
Gui Chun had seen the Jiang family, and he was busy pulling Gui Chongyang to see the ceremony.
"Good boy, get up. I haven't seen you for some days, and I'm already an adult. Jiang said to Gui Chun with a smile, and looked at Gui Chongyang again: "This is the nephew of the fourth uncle's family?" What a handsome little offspring. ”
is also a soft-spoken and gentle temperament, but the Jiang family and the Mei family are different. Maybe it's because the family is wealthy and the reason why he lives a calm life, the years have treated the Jiang family very generously, and he can't see that he is four years older than Jiang Wuye, and he looks like he is in his twenties.
Gui Chongyang faced the jokes of his elders, his face was shy, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
No, this couple is a little weird, not like they are guests back to their hometown. Jiang's neck and hands showed an unhealthy sallowness, but his face was pink. The eyes are moist, but the corners of the eyes are red, and the eyes are foggy. Is this crying and powdering?
Jiang Wuye's gaze paused on his wife's face, and said softly: "Now that you have seen it, you will put down the curtain, the sun is poisoning." ”
Jiang nodded and looked at Gui Chongyang, who was thin and small: "The little nephew is still young, let him sit in the car with me." ”
Jiang Wuye naturally had no opinion, Gui Chongyang looked at the coachman in front of him, and knew that staying in the car was not the time to speak. He was full of curiosity, his eyes were dripping, he smiled shyly, and followed Jiang to the carriage.
