Chapter 47: The defenders see the sister-in-law
Fortunately, Ye Shoujun had the same idea as Wormwood in this regard, and he didn't feel anything wrong at all, and said bluntly: "Actually, I don't know the specifics, it's just a feeling~uh~ How to say it?" I'll just say a few points! One, he often looked at me with an incomprehensible look - the kind that would make my pores stand up; Second, when I was usually invisible and didn't adopt me at all, the kind of ~uh~ that I showed~How do you say? I like itβI don't feel the liking in his heart for me at all; Third, if it was just a relationship between personalities, he would not think of acting - the person before the person is the same, and the person after the person is the same; Fourth, he also had reservations about the exercises and didn't teach me all of them - if he had a biological child, it would be forgivable to do this, but in fact he only had one relative, so it didn't make sense; Anyway, that's it, there's no evidence, these are just the feelings I felt since I was a child. β
"It's really weird to hear you say that!"
"yes, but I can't figure out why."
"Then let's pay more attention to it, anyway, it's not in a hurry, the coming day is long, and the fox's tail will always be exposed."
"So you have to be careful with him, he's a soldier, he's very sensitive, don't let him notice anything." Ye Shoujun repeatedly reminded Wormwood, don't be careless.
"Okay, I know~ It's here, I'll talk about it later." Wormwood saw the courtyard gate close at hand, and pushed the door open with a jump, "Dad, mother, we're back." β
Ye Shoujun followed into the door and shouted at the Ji family's father, "Uncle, aunt." β
"Sister-in-law, this is Ye Shoujun, do you look good?" Wormwood was not shy to show off there at all, and said to Ye Shoujun: "This is my only aunt, and Cousin Jiamin. β
"Sister-in-law~Sister Jiamin~" Ye Shoujun was used to Wormwood's remarks, so he didn't take it to heart at all, and greeted Aunt Ji calmly.
Aunt Ji and Jiamin looked at Ye Shoujun from head to toe, not to mention their appearance, in the face of wormwood's bold words, and the naked eyes of everyone, they still looked as steady as Mount Tai, which also made Aunt Ji and them look high.
"Your name is Ye Shoujun, right? How many people are in the family? β
"My dad and I are two."
"What should I do after graduating from high school?"
"Continue to go to college."
"What university are you going to go to?"
"I'm going to learn mechanics."
"What are your plans for the future? β¦β¦β
β¦β¦
Between Ji Xiaogu and Ye Shoujun, the question and answer made the atmosphere unexpectedly harmonious.
The next day, Liu Jiamin finally decided to practice martial arts - one more skill is one more guarantee, and her two younger brothers can practice martial arts with her immediately, and they don't need to wait until they come back from vacation to let Wormwood teach.
She took the martial arts cheats and traditional Chinese medicine textbooks prepared for her by wormwood, and with Aunt Ji, she brought the return gifts prepared for them by Ji Lao Niang - bacon, braised meat, dried shrimp, dried abalone, kelp, etc., and returned with a full load.
ββββββ
In the blink of an eye, it has entered the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which is considered to be the official New Year, and the supply and marketing cooperatives and other government agencies and units have returned to normal.
"Lao Wu is here? Come on in, it's on time today! Father Ji led Lao Wu into the door and joked.
"Haha, you are the first one in the New Year, what a good start!" Lao Wu looked at the courtyard where Ji Lao Niang and wormwood were boiling water, except for a few young people, it was estimated that they were Lao Ji's sons, there were no outsiders, "Huh? Why didn't anyone come? β
"I'm not going to make pig-killing dishes today, I don't need anyone, my own family is enough, kill the pigs, just wait for the secretary to bring someone over to buy meat at nine o'clock." He really didn't feel like there was a shortage of people.
"When killing pigs, pressing pigs is a hard work, can you do it?" Lao Wu looked at a room full of readers, and said very suspiciously.
"Don't worry! My eldest son had trained in the army, and this was a trivial matter. "His family is all martial artists, and he really doesn't worry about this trivial matter, but in order to keep a low profile, he only pulls the big tiger out as a support.
"Okay! If you know what to expect, let's go to the backyard and pull the pig out! β
β¦β¦
Lao Wu straightened his waist - he finally killed it, he had long heard that Lao Ji's meat this year was the top ingredient, and he couldn't help but be greedy when he looked at so much and such good pork, even if it didn't belong to him, it was good to touch it more, "It's done, Lao Ji, do you want me to help you sell it together?" β
"No, no, you're busy with you, I'm not a professional pork seller, people don't know how to pick bones in eggs, and besides, I have this group of boys here, I can't do this little thing, just go home and farm." A boy who is smoking, even if the four tigers are a little smaller, there are still four future sons-in-law of Jiaye Shoujun.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Since people have clearly stated that they don't need it, they can't leave it behind.
"Uh-huh, huh~ Take this, it's hard work!" Father Ji handed him a red envelope according to the old rules.
"Little four, bring it." He also called the four tigers to bring over the thank-you gifts that had been prepared a long time ago.
took the pig water and two catties of pork in the hands of the four tigers and handed them to Lao Wu.
"No, no, no, I just need the pig to go into the water, or I'll buy it from you." Although he knew that Lao Ji's pigs were delicious, he was still embarrassed to take advantage of this.
"Take it, take it back, my sister-in-law and children will also taste my pork, there is no such shop in this village!" If the grass is not planted outside, the meat will no longer flow out of the market.
"Then~ I'm not welcome, if you have something in the future, you will squeak, and I will be on call." Lao Ji is righteous enough.
"You're welcome, I'll send you out." There's no time to talk nonsense, he has to clean up quickly, the secretary and they are coming over soon.
"That sister-in-law, I'll go first!" Lao Wu was very embarrassed, and before leaving, he specially said hello to Ji Lao Niang, don't wait for him to leave, the couple quarreled because of his two catties of meat - this is not a light gift.
"Okay, I'll come over when I have time!" Ji Lao Niang didn't know that there would be so much drama in people, and she thought it was just a polite goodbye.
"Little sister, go and take out the scale first." His dad was going to need it when he came back.
"Where?"
"It's in the mother's house, hanging behind the door."
"Oh!" Wormwood walked into the house in three steps and took out the scale.
At this time, Father Ji also came back, and Mrs. Ji hurriedly asked him to ......
"Dad, before anyone comes, you can cut a few pieces of meat first and feel it."
"Feel what?" Daddy Ji didn't understand a little, what kind of play did his mother-in-law do?
"Stupid! You cut a few pieces first, let the little sister weigh it, and then you feel it, how much is a pound of meat, how much is two pounds of meat, and when they come to buy meat, how much do you want to cut, one knife and one piece, isn't it much more convenient? "Men are just sloppy.
"Is it too late to learn?" That's all the craftsmanship that people have been working as masters for a few years!
"Dad, you're not an ordinary person now, how can you say that you're also a martial artist, what you pay attention to is that you're quick with eyes and hands, how can you not do it?" His father still doesn't understand his new "identity" thoroughly.
"Look at it, you can't admit that you are stupid, and the little sister understands it, you can't react."
Father Ji didn't want to listen to his mother-in-law's rambling anymore, so he directly took a knife and tried it - unexpectedly, after only cutting two or three pieces, he felt that he had the right start.
"Big Tiger, you can try it too, let's wait and divide into two teams, hurry up." It's over early, and the family is going to have an early Lantern Festival at night, so there's a lot to do!
"Oh!" Dahu had no objection, and also picked up and cut a few pieces and tried the feeling.
After the father and son were already proficient, Father Ji immediately said: "It's almost time, move the tables and stools to the door, I cut with the big tiger, weigh the two tigers and the defenders, and collect the money from the child." "There is a lot of strength in numbers, and it will be properly arranged in a while, and it will definitely not be confused.
"Little sister, you go get another handful and weigh it out."
Hearing this, Wormwood thought about it for a while, and just said it behind the door! She looked at Ji Lao Niang suspiciously, and found that her mother was glaring at her?
At this time, she understood what Ji Lao Niang meant-tell her to buy another one and take it out.
"Oh~" Wormwood hurriedly ran into the house and bought a new scale with her back to them.
When Wormwood reached the door, the secretary and the village chief were already waiting there with a few people.
"Second brother, called." The scale just now was in the hands of the defenders, and Wormwood hurriedly handed the scale to the two tigers.
Then Wormwood stood next to her mother, standing guard for her, and by the way supervising her to see if she had made a mistake.
"Secretary, did you help me explain the price and rules?" Daddy Ji is used to being cautious, and he is used to making sure again, he doesn't want to wait to have a fight with this group of old ladies - ninety percent of those who come to buy meat are women.
"Having said that, each household only sells one catty of six cents, and the other is eight cents a catty." It's rare for Lao Ji to ask him to do things, and he must do it properly.
"Lao Ji~ We are all villagers, it's not appropriate to divide the price into two, right? What's more, you are a village cadre. A discordant voice rang out.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the person who spoke, the village chief, who was both surprised and not surprised, he was a good man if he said it sounded good, and he was a fool if he didn't hear it, and he didn't distinguish between right and wrong.
"Eighth child, I have explained the reason to you clearly, why do you still say such a thing?" Before Father Ji could speak, the secretary was unhappy, and listening to the confused tone, he knew that he couldn't turn the corner again.
"No......" The village chief wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by the secretary, "Don't be no, just say I'll give you eight cents a catty, can you help me buy meat as good as Lao Ji's family?" β
The village chief shook his head affirmatively, he was also there at the engagement banquet that day, and in retrospect, he could still feel the delicious taste in his mouth, and where did he get such good meat!
"Then let's take the first-class good rice in our village to sell, and people ask us to come at the price of fourth-class inferior rice, can you sell it?"
"That can't be ......," the village chief said without thinking.
