Gu Huaisheng also carefully observed this village along the way, revealing poverty and backwardness everywhere.

Many thatched houses, tiled houses only a few have,

After Wei Wu and Shuang'er dismounted, Tang Yanning and Gu Huaisheng also followed.

Shuang'er stepped forward and slammed the door.

Wei Wu originally planned to go, but was stopped by Shuang'er, because Wei Wu spoke stiffly and felt a little fierce, so Shuang'er quickly asked him not to make a sound and said it himself.

The door was opened by an old woman in her sixties, wearing a muslin skirt, with a cloth towel wrapped around her head, and her eyes were a little cloudy after the vicissitudes of life.

He looked at them suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The voice was very hoarse, as if it had been damaged by smoke.

Shuang'er hurriedly let out a smile, explained the reason, and handed over ten taels of silver.

When the old woman saw ten taels of silver, a ray of light seemed to emerge in her cloudy eyes, she raised her eyes and looked them up and down, and then looked at Gu Huaisheng and Tang Yanning, who were standing a little distance outside the door, and agreed, opened the door and let them in.

Shuang'er thanked him sweetly.

Gu Huaisheng and Tang Yanning also stepped forward when they saw that they agreed, greeted politely a few words, and followed the old woman in.

The old woman didn't know if she was happy with the silver, and her attitude was much warmer than when she was at the door.

Talking that she has three sons, now go out to do farm work, look at the sky, it is estimated that she will come back in a while, tonight let the three sons squeeze in one room, and the empty two rooms will come out for distinguished guests.

Tang Yanning thanked him with a smile.

Although this room is a tiled house, the room is also very simple, with some simple furniture, a dining table, and four or five chairs.

However, it is still clean.

The old woman learned that their dinner was useless, and immediately went to Zhang Luo for dinner.

Tang Yanning and Shuang'er hurriedly stood up and said that they would get it themselves.

First, the old woman is old, and they are already bothering others, how can they still let the family serve them at a young age?

Second, you still need to be careful when you go out, and you should take care of your own food.

The old woman didn't refuse, and took them to the kitchen.

Wei Wu went out and led the horse to the donkey shed.

The carriage was pushed to a nearby shed where miscellaneous items were stacked.

There wasn't much to do in the kitchen, just some brown rice noodles and wild vegetables.

There were also pickles and, unexpectedly, a piece of bacon.

I guess the situation is good.

The old woman was happy when she got ten taels, so she generously took out the white noodles.

White noodles are very expensive in this poor countryside, and many families are nests of mixed noodles and vegetables, and they can't afford to eat white noodles.

Tang Yanning thanked the old woman, the old woman smiled and hurriedly said that it should be, about ten catties of flour, it seems to be a little heavy, the old woman is old, and when she put it down, her body staggered, Tang Yanning was busy and quickly supported the old man.

After the old woman stood firmly, she patted Tang Yanning's hand with her backhand, and said that it was okay, it was okay, she was old, and she was useless.

Tang Yanning saw that the old woman was fine, and after a few words of concern, he turned around and began to take noodles and roll noodles with noodles.

Shuang'er played on the sidelines.

Tang Yanning rolled the noodles very well, with more than enough toughness and uniform thickness, and the old woman on the side praised him again and again, a young man can also roll the noodles so well.

Tang Yanning and Shuang'er were still dressed up, smiled embarrassedly, and began to cook noodles.

The only material was salt, and there was nothing to put in it, so the old woman took a few eggs from the frame of the cupboard.

Make poached egg noodles.

Shuang'er went to the yard to pinch some small green vegetables, and after some cooking, a bowl of hot egg noodles came out of the pot.

Tang Yanning rolled a lot of noodles, because she heard the old woman say that her son would come back later, so she made noodles together.

The old woman didn't feel sorry for the white noodles anymore, ten taels of silver, how many bags of white noodles could be bought. extraordinary

Tang Yanning and Shuang'er had just brought the noodles to the table when there was a burst of thunder outside the house, and the torrential rain that had been brewing until now finally poured down.

The old doors and windows were crackled by the rain, and the rain was very heavy, mixed with the slanting wind, and even spread to the house.

Shuang'er hurriedly got up and went to close the doors and windows.

The door had just been closed, when someone suddenly pushed it open, and the wind poured in, blowing the candles in the room and extinguishing them.

Three big men burst in from outside the door at once.

"Damn, this rain will come as soon as it is said, and the harmful Lao Tzu will be drenched." The taller of the three grumbled.

"Who's to say it's not, sometimes it's cloudy and you don't see a drop of rain for a day, and this rain is really infamous." The other thinner man answered.

As soon as the old woman saw her son coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern: "Boss, why did you come back now, the second child is only coming back now, it is going to rain this day, why don't you know how to look at the situation, look, you are wet." ”

As soon as the man named the boss looked up and was about to explain, he saw four strangers sitting in the room.

All of them are cleanly dressed and have jade-like faces, and they know at a glance that they are from the city.

The second and third children also saw it, staring at the nearest Shuang'er, looking at them without any scruples.

The second child bowed his head and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The voice was unkind.

All of a sudden, the three men stood on her side, and her body felt a little thin, she hurriedly took a step back, opened the distance, and said, "We are staying overnight, it is raining tonight, so we will spend the night at your house." ”

Gu Huaisheng also got up, walked forward and nodded slightly, "Disturb for one night, and we'll leave when the rain stops tomorrow morning." ”

Shuang'er hurriedly retreated to the young lady's side.

The old woman hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "These people are going to visit relatives in Suihe City in front, passing by our small village, seeing that it is going to rain, so they will use our family for one night, and then turn back to the second and third children to squeeze in your house for a night." ”

The Boss raised his eyes and gave them a rough look, then nodded.

As soon as they rushed into the yard, they saw two horses in the donkey shed on the left.

And the good-looking carriage in the utility shed.

It looks like a rich family.

The old woman smiled and said: "Go back and clean up your house, the distinguished guests can give ten taels, you quickly clean up, so that the distinguished guests can live more comfortably." ”

"Ten taels?"

As soon as he heard ten taels, the second of the three looked thin and said in surprise, and his tone was full of surprise.

With ten taels, you can marry a daughter-in-law.

The old woman nodded and motioned for them to go out quickly, "Yes, so you hurry to the kitchen to eat, go back and clean up the house, don't leave here to scare the nobles." ”

The three big bosses stood in the room, and suddenly felt that the space in the room was a little narrower.

The eldest and second looked around the room, nodded at them, and talked casually, Yu Guang looked at the egg noodles in front of them and swallowed.

The old woman said with a smile that there were still egg noodles in the kitchen, and the three brothers hurriedly opened the door and rushed to the kitchen in the rain.

The clothes are wet anyway, it doesn't matter if you have an umbrella or not, it's better to change your clothes after eating.

The old woman turned around and covered the door with a smile: "My son didn't go to school, rude, I'll let them eat in the kitchen and won't disturb you." Noble people use slowly, use slowly. ”

Tang Yanning thanked him with a smile.

As soon as the three sons arrived in the kitchen, they looked at the fragrant noodles in the pot, and their hands were not washed, so they picked up the bowl and began to hula hula.

The three of them squatted and gobbled around the stove.

The third child sucked the noodles, poked the second child's arm and asked, "Have you paid attention to those nobles?" ”

The second child's mouth was stuffed with a large mouthful of noodles, his cheeks were bulging, and he said vaguely: "What do you pay attention to?" Are you handsome? ”

The boss took a bite of the poached egg, slipped a mouthful of noodle soup and said, "What's the use of Jun, it's not a woman." ”

What they lack now is a daughter-in-law.

The third child continued to pick up the noodles, "How do you know that they are not women?" ”
