Chapter Twenty-One: When the Fierce Mother Meets Meng Po
It's 30 years since the Chinese New Year's Eve, and many shops have been closed for several days, but some shops are more prosperous than ever. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
These thriving shops, in addition to the hotel brothels and the Washer Golan, the hottest places are casinos and the other is the tea house.
Although the snow is sunny at the beginning of the day, although the weather is very cold, Meng Ji Tea Shop is full of customers, and it is in full swing. Drinking tea and chatting, listening to books and singing songs, it's not lively.
As if she knew that Zhao and Qi and others were coming, when she saw them coming in, Granny Meng personally greeted them, walked through the crowd, and took Zhao and them to the window seat upstairs.
There are so many people who come to drink tea, and there are still two empty tables in this place.
Chen's mother was very interested, and she had a homely routine with Granny Meng all the way, and heard that Chen Yang was back, and she also met the robbers, Granny Meng said apologetically: "It's all bad for the old man, your little brother has such a big thing, it's good to come back, and the old body will rest assured, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family sits down, today the old body is the east, and when your little brother comes, the old body apologizes to him in person." ”
"That's so embarrassing." Chen's mother couldn't close her mouth happily, "That stinky boy, you can trust him so much, but what about him, not only did he mess things up, but he also lost your money, and when he came in a while, I asked him to make amends to you in person." ”
"Giggle......, Chen family's daughter-in-law, don't be polite, it's okay to lose some money, if you hurt the child, it will be a big deal, they are all neighbors, and I want you to help in the future."
"Giggle......, Aunt Meng, don't be polite, the villagers, it's right to help each other, then we're welcome." Then he turned to Zhao and the others and said, "Miss Zhao, and Sun Yishi, you, don't be polite, sit down." ”
"Please take a seat, a few guests, and you will do it together." Granny Meng also smiled and danced, beckoning Chen's mother and Zhao Heqi and others to sit down.
Zhao Tieshi and other five people sat at a table, Zhao Heqi, Chen's mother, Ying'er and Xue'er sat at a table, and soon, tea and snacks were served.
Granny Meng shouted again: "He Wu, go to Lao Zheng's house to get twenty big buns and send them to Chen's mother." ”
"Okay, Mother Chen, wait a minute." A tea doctor agreed, put down what he was doing, and went out quickly. As soon as I went out, I happened to meet Chen Yang and hurriedly greeted him.
"Hey! Little brother of the Chen family, you are here, Mother Chen is upstairs, please sit upstairs. As he spoke, he led Chen Yang upstairs. After everything was arranged, I turned around and went downstairs and went out to buy steamed buns.
This He Wu is the same tea doctor that Chen Yang and Liang Yanei met when they came that day.
When Chen Yang arrived upstairs, he happened to see Zhao Heqi and others holding teacups, and he didn't know if he had drunk it, so he hurriedly ran over and shouted loudly: "Ah, don't drink it!" ”
As soon as the words came out, all four were shocked. The biggest reaction was not Mama Chen and others, but the guests in the tea shop. Suddenly, all the people in the teahouse focused on Chen Yang.
Even the storyteller and singer stopped talking for a while, and the lively tea shop was silent in an instant.
I rub! How did you forget that? Sensing the gaze of the people around him, Chen Yang scolded in his heart, eager to find a place to get in, this time, his face was embarrassed.
Chen's mother just picked up the teacup, heard the shout, looked up, and saw that it was her son, and couldn't help scolding: "You stinky boy, what are you yelling about, don't look at what kind of place this is, you think it's your own home?" It's reasonable for you to come late, you can't drink it yourself, you don't let others drink it first, and you don't let the old lady roll over. ”
As he spoke, he put down the teacup and stood up, waved his hand to the people around him and said, "My son, giggle......, he was talking to me just now, don't care, I'm sorry, I'll teach him a lesson in a while." ”
Hearing Chen's mother's words, everyone laughed, and they didn't know as much as a half-grown child, and they went to do their own things, the storyteller continued to tell the story, the singer continued to sing, and the whole teahouse became lively again.
When Chen Yang approached, Granny Meng looked at Chen Yang with a smile and asked, "Little Brother Chen is here, why can't you drink my tea soup?" ”
Chen's mother hurriedly played a round: "Aunt Meng, don't care, the stinky boy loves to be surprised." He said to Chen Yang again: "Stinky boy, don't apologize to Aunt Meng soon." ”
Chen Yang looked at Meng Po and said angrily: "Why can't you drink it!" My mother-in-law knows in her heart, do you want me to say everything? Good old woman, you hurt me so much. ”
Chen's mother glared, grabbed Chen Yang's arm, and drank: "Stinky boy, how can you talk?" I don't apologize to my mother-in-law yet. Looking at this posture, if Chen Yang does not apologize immediately, it will be when domestic violence is in progress.
Seeing this, Granny Meng hurriedly pulled away Chen's mother's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, there is indeed some misunderstanding between the old body and your little brother, and it will be fine to make it clear. ”
He said to Chen Yang again: "Little brother of the Chen family, I have harmed you like this, there is indeed something wrong with the old body, and the old body will not compensate you." ”
As he spoke, he really bowed to Chen Yang.
The legendary Meng Po actually bent down to apologize to herself, Chen Yang was dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his eyes, and his vanity was greatly satisfied. This kind of thing, if people know, is enough to brag about it for a few lifetimes.
Without waiting for Chen Yang to speak, Chen's mother stopped Meng Po first and scolded Chen Yang: "Stinky boy, my mother-in-law is so old, and she apologizes to you, how did your father teach you?" Don't hurry up and hold your mother-in-law and apologize to your mother-in-law. ”
Seeing Meng Po apologize, Chen Yang's anger disappeared by half, and he thought that so many people were here, and he couldn't make too much trouble, so he borrowed the donkey from the slope and bowed and said: "Mother-in-law, don't do this, what happened just now is indeed my fault, and the kid will not compensate you." ”
Meng Po apologized, saying that it was the past, and only Chen Yang could understand it. And Chen Yang apologized, saying all about the current situation. In the past, he asked himself that he was not at fault, just an innocent victim.
Seeing that both parties apologized to each other, Chen's mother smiled all over her face, pulled the two of them and said: "That's fine, don't fight and don't know each other, everyone is honest people, what do you have to say, sit down and say it well, make it clear, it's a good neighbor, giggle......"
Meng Po also smiled, helped Chen's mother sit back in her place, and said: "Giggle...... what the daughter-in-law of the Chen family said is right, what do you have to say, everyone sit down and say it well, little brother of the Chen family, don't stand, find a seat to sit down, it's the New Year, let's have a good chat." ”
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, looked at Meng Po, and said incredulously: "Just talk here?" ”
"Stinky boy, where are you if you're not here? This is a special seat for our mother-in-law, what are you not satisfied with? Seeing that Chen Yang didn't sit down for a long time, Chen's mother hurriedly scolded and urged him to sit down quickly.
Meng Po also nodded and said, "It's right here, everyone is here, it's good." ”
"......" Chen Yang was speechless for a while, everyone was there, what could they talk about? looked at Zhao Heqi, Sun Tieshi and others, and sat helplessly next to Chen's mother.
Dr. Cha was very nimble with his hands and feet, and served Chen Yang a bowl of tea.
After they all sat down, Chen's mother picked up the teacup and said to Zhao Heqi: "Miss Zhao, I was really sorry just now, Chen Yang, a stinky boy, has been very naughty since he was a child, but in normal times, he is still very honest, please bear with me, let's drink tea." ”
Chen Yang was embarrassed, and Meng Po laughed vigorously. The two glanced at each other and knew each other.
Zhao and his long-term residence in the palace, where have they seen such a tea house? Since I sat down, I kept turning my head to look around, and everything felt fresh, and I even forgot to drink tea.
The incident that Chen Yang made just now was just one more good show for her.
Hearing Chen's mother speak to her, Zhao Heqi was noncommittal, picked up a snack, and asked, "Do you usually eat this?" ”
Chen's mother didn't know what to mean, and said, "This dim sum, how can we afford it in normal times?" These are all good things, and only at the mother-in-law's place can you eat a few pieces. ”
Granny Meng said with a smile: "Giggles...... I have enough today, and there will be steamed buns in a while, I will treat you today, and you all let go of it." ”
Zhao Heqi took a small bite and chewed it slowly, although this pastry was not as fine as the palace made, it also had a unique flavor.
Zhao Heqi's eyebrows relaxed, his eyes lit up, he swallowed it in one gulp, and shouted happily: "It's delicious, I like it." As he spoke, he filled the remaining large piece of snack into his mouth and ate it as if no one was around.
This appearance made Chen's mother stunned, and Meng Po smiled even brighter.
Meng Po picked up the tea bowl and said to Chen's mother: "Chen's daughter-in-law, the tea leaves in this bowl have just been transported from Yuhang, and they are also the tea leaves that your little brother asked for help to get the day before yesterday, you can taste it." ”
He also said to Chen Yang, Zhao Heqi and others: "This is my mother-in-law, I personally selected, and it is the most suitable time to eat when it is lively." ”
Mother Chen smiled with a smile, picked up the tea bowl, and without waiting for Chen Yang to speak, she lowered her head and took a sip, the appearance of a cow chewing peonies made Chen Yang frown.
When the others heard that Yu Hang had brought it over, they couldn't help but taste a few bites. The only ones who didn't drink tea were Chen Yang and Zhao and the two of them.
Zhao Heqi didn't drink tea because his mouth was too full. After chewing for a while, my mouth was a little looser, and I was about to take a sip of tea to moisten my mouth, when I heard that it was a good tea, and I was about to bow my head and drink it. At this moment, I heard Chen's mother say: "Stinky boy, why don't you drink?" You taste it, it's fragrant, it's very good. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Heqi stopped talking and looked at Chen Yang suspiciously, not knowing what had happened.
Chen Yang stared at this cup of tea, whether to drink it or not, he couldn't pay attention to it.
If there is anything wrong with this tea, so many people have drunk it, and it is fine, it doesn't look like there is a problem. If you want to say that there is nothing wrong with this tea, this tea is Meng Po soup made by Meng Po herself, if there is no problem, who will believe it?
At this time, I heard Meng Po say: "Little brother of the Chen family, last time I was here, you also said that your mother said that you can't drink strangers' things, but today, we are not strangers, can I drink my tea?" ”
Chen Yang was speechless for a while, he was just fooling Meng Po for saying nonsense, but he didn't expect to be mentioned by Meng Po, and moreover, in front of Chen's mother.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Chen's mother said suspiciously: "Yes, when did I say it?" You stinky boy, Granny Meng gave you tea and soup to eat, you still pick and choose, drink it, my mother let you drink it, giggle......"
"Giggle...... "Mother Chen and Mother Meng looked at each other and smiled.
I rubbed it, these two people actually stood aside, but I didn't expect that a cup of tea could cause such trouble. If it drags on like this, it will seem that he has nothing to do, and it may lead to some unforeseen consequences.
However, thinking of what happened in the past, Chen Yang still didn't want to drink.
He thought for a while, and then he had an idea, covered his stomach and said, "Mother-in-law, when will the buns you said come up, I'm so hungry that my stomach hurts, how dare I drink tea?" ”
Before Meng Po could speak, Chen's mother spoke: "So that's the case, then I'll drink tea later, eat a snack first, and pad my stomach." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of dim sum and handed it to Chen Yang.
Chen's mother said to Zhao Heqi again: "Miss Zhao, don't drink tea first, eat something for a while, and drink it when your stomach has food, don't hurt your spleen and stomach." ”
Hearing Chen's mother say this, Zhao Heqi didn't want to drink it cheekily, and reluctantly put down the teacup.
Seeing this scene, Granny Meng looked at Chen Yang with a smile, a little crying and laughing.
Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Yang said to Chen's mother: "Mother, I haven't finished what I said just now, you continue, what did Granny Meng tell you, how could you misunderstand that I went to Zuichun Building?" ”
Chen's mother was stunned for a while, and was about to have a seizure, but she heard Meng Po speak.
"Oops! What's the matter with the old body, since it's all here, let's talk about it from the old body. ”
Chen Yang stared at Mrs. Meng, pricked up her ears, and listened to Granny Meng say: "Little brother of the Chen family, that day, Mother Chen came to the old body to look for you, saying that you went out early in the morning, and you haven't come back after more than two hours, and the old body sent He Wu to look for you over there." ”
"He Wu went out, searched for most of the day, and didn't look for you, on the way back, I happened to meet a Taoist priest, according to the Taoist priest, you stood under the Zuichun Building for a long time, no, the old body told Chen's mother so, I didn't expect that it would cause such a misunderstanding, it's all the old body, isn't it, giggles......"
After Granny Meng finished speaking, Mother Chen nodded and confirmed: "Yes, that's it, you stinky boy, I thought you went to the drunken spring building, and the old lady was worried for a night." ”
Chen Yang couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?" When I went out of the door that day, I didn't stop all the way, and I didn't even know where Zuichun Lou was, how could I stand downstairs? That stinky Taoist priest, who the hell is it, it's not black and white. ”
Speaking of this, his mind flashed, and then he remembered that in that Yuhe Street, there really seemed to be this building. But he hasn't made it there yet. Although, I thought about it like this, but it was only for thought, how could anyone know?
Next, Granny Meng's words completely broke off his doubts.
"Giggle...... listen to He Wu, that Taoist priest, the common family name is Wang, and the Taoist name is Chonghezi."
Oki Kazuko! Sun Tieshi on the side listened to it, and his heart couldn't help but move.
