Chapter 66: Li Lan Goes to the Street (2)
"What do you care about what we say, who are you, you have to take care of what we talk about casually?!" Li Lan was angry, so she just scolded, but her sister-in-law was stunned and hurriedly grabbed her cuffs.
"Sister-in-law Cai? Which sister-in-law Cai?! ”
Oh my God! Li Lan's sister-in-law hurriedly turned her head and asked again: "Sister-in-law Cai, who sells steamed buns?!" ”
At this time, even Li Lan stopped and looked over with a puzzled face.
The man sneered: "Which sister-in-law Cai, isn't it just those two women who have been doing prosperous business on the street for half a month." ”
"A Yue lady, a sister-in-law Cai, the two of them have a good life, and they will make money, and Cai's sister-in-law is also considerate, can you two compare these blessings!"
Li Lan and her sister-in-law were silent in unison, you look at me, I look at you, and finally feel that something is wrong.
Li Lan's mouth was fast, but she couldn't hold her breath, and she opened her mouth to say: "She is a widow ......"
Before she finished speaking, her sister-in-law stretched out her hand and grabbed her, and she forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart: "This little brother, dare to ask this sister-in-law Cai's husband's surname, who is his name?" ”
The man glanced at her, as if he was startled by these words: "You are a married man to inquire about what you are doing!" ”
A few people eating wontons on the side laughed, obviously listening to the whole thing.
"I said two sisters-in-law, if you have this spare time, you might as well go home and discipline your husband, if you don't buy good things next time, you have to rely on him for useless."
asked about other people's husbands on the street, and these two sisters-in-law were not ashamed.
Everyone laughed again, and then the two of them also reacted, Li Lan's sister-in-law's face turned red suddenly, and she quickly pulled Li Lan out of the wonton stall.
From Buzhuang to this street, the two were frequently ridiculed, ashamed and angry, so they simply walked straight out of the town, it was better to go home.
didn't walk for a while, Li Lan's sister-in-law suddenly stopped her steps and stomped her feet, her face full of excitement.
"Almost scared the hell out of those people!" She grabbed Li Lan's sleeve with her backhand, and looked like she had a shocking secret:
"This Cai Zhen must be stealing a man!"
Li Lan was stimulated and ridiculed by the silver money of the spring return all the way, and her brain was already confused, and she was suddenly slammed by her sister-in-law, so frightened that she screamed: "Stealing a man?!" ”
After this call, everyone else looked over, and the two looked at everyone's strange eyes, and hurriedly found a corner to talk carefully.
Li Lan's sister-in-law said with her eyebrows fluttering: "A few years ago, her mother found a widower for her, and after a year, she said that Cai Zhen did not agree with it, and her mother was a daughter who wanted to keep the festival and not marry, so it was called a cheer, I thought she was really a chaste martyr, it turned out that she found a concubine!" ”
Since you have found a concubine, you should keep a low profile, but everyone in this town knows about it, it's stupid!
The two looked at each other, unable to hide their gloating appearance.
"Sister-in-law, who do you say that person is?" This is kind and considerate, and Li Lan can't find a figure in the entire Sweetwater Village.
Li Lan's sister-in-law also hollowed out her head and thought, and finally glanced at her: "She lives under your nose, you don't know, how can I know." ”
The two of them have their own calculations in their hearts, Li Lan is disgusted with Chungui and disgusted with people who befriend her, and Li Lan's sister-in-law is really not happy to see Cai's life well.
She is also surnamed Cai, called Cai Hongyun, and her mother's family is a relative of the Cai family, and they have a relationship with different branches of the same clan. Life is not as prosperous as Cai Zhen's family, she grows sugarcane and makes sugar, the only thing that can be compared is that she married a sound husband, but Cai Zhen was widowed early. Now that Cai Zhen is widowed, seeing that the days are getting more and more prosperous, Li Lan's sister-in-law is breathing a sigh of relief in her heart, but today is different.
If this is to poke out her stealing man, in this small place in the mountains, Cai Zhen is afraid that she will have no face to be a person!
Cai Hongyun immediately clapped his hands: "Go!" Let's check it out! ”
"Didn't that person say that Cai's husband is kind and considerate, and he receives and sends! I'd like to see what kind of man is so blind to a widow, don't be a man with a bad brain! ”
When Li Lan heard this, her heart suddenly flashed, and she thought of something, but she flashed by, and when she reacted again, she was already pulled forward by her sister-in-law.
The two of them walked to the center of the town, angry, annoyed and ashamed when they came, but this time they looked majestic and high-spirited.
When the stall was first set up, Cai's steamed buns sold quickly, and then they simply took the raw noodles and meat filling, and wrapped them in front of the stall, so that those who were lazy and unwilling to cook could take them home and eat them when they were steamed.
When Li Lan and the two arrived, she was preparing to make steamed buns, there were many people on the street, Cai Zhen's stall was hidden in it and did not fall behind, although there were desserts from the spring return to help drain the stream, but she was also a good craft, and there were many repeat customers.
The two of them found a place to sit down.
"Let's wait, don't we pick it up early and send it on the hour, and we'll know when she closes the stall!"
Cai Hongyun was gearing up, and the whole person was as excited as if she had stolen food, and Li Lan finally reacted......
Pick it up early and deliver it on time?
She clapped her hands violently: "Sister-in-law! I know! ”
She also told her family Cheng Tianbao two days ago that the boss of Daddy Li's family borrowed a donkey cart to rush to Chungui and Cai's two as cattle and horses, and got up early to send them to the street, and then sent them back at noon, and the rooster was not so diligent in reporting the dawn!
She only thought that Li Zhicun was praising the stinky feet that returned from the spring, but when she thought about it today, could it be that she hooked up with Cai Zhen? !
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and quickly told Cai Hongyun about it. Cai Hongyun immediately poked her sister-in-law's head: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier!" I said a few days ago that I would be able to tear Cai Zhen's face apart! ”
Li Lan said angrily: "How dare I think of such a big thing!" ”
"You don't dare to think about it, everyone dares to do it, it's done! Will he know it when he sees it! ”
Li Lan: "That's Li Zhicun!" Isn't being honest just stupid! It's Cai Zhen who he picked up again, and there is no stupider man in our village than him! "I haven't married in my twenties, and I can't beat half a fart with a stick all day. Women are not unusual!
Cai Hongyun had long been thinking about how to make a big deal about Cai Zhen's reputation for stealing a man's fornication, but Li Lan was planning to have something to do with Chungui.
The busy Cai didn't know it yet.
She thought about wrapping the buns quickly, and when Li Zhicun came to pick her up, she could go back to help a bunch of spring returns when the donkey cart went faster. Zhixing Qiyou finally took a vacation, and he couldn't be busy at a big table when he returned in spring.
Recently, she has also figured it out a little, since she is on good terms with Zhicun, she will always have to put it on the bright side one day, stretch out her head and shrink her head, and go back to discuss with her mother earlier, regardless of whether it should be or not, there should always be a charter. It is also the people around here who have already decided that she and Li Zhicun are a couple, and she is afraid that someone who knows her will come over and see her.
It was close to noon in a short time, and the people on the street returned home in twos and threes, and there were only a few young men left in the surrounding shops. Seeing that it was almost over, Cai put away the cage drawer, and put the barrels and dishes left behind by Chun Gui together, so he sat on the small stool on the side wholeheartedly, waiting for Li Zhicun to pick her up.
"Cai Niangzi is waiting for Li Xianggong again!" The little brother who sells gadgets always makes fun of her, and she is embarrassed once or twice, but she gets used to it later.
"What is unfair or unfair, he is a hard worker!"
The little brother laughed and said, "What's wrong with working hard, isn't it just your father-in-law!" ”
Cai's was helpless for a while, and the pungent energy that had been cultivated in the village for several years was thrown away here: "I don't dare to take it when it comes out of my little brother's mouth in the future." ”
A few vendors in the surrounding area also joined in, and after some jokes, a donkey cart in the distance finally came over.
In such a cool weather, Li Zhicun also sweated profusely, and when he got off the donkey cart, he collected all the dry things. Cai Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped his head familiarly.
A few vendors were busy joking again, and the two of them had long been used to it, and after saying goodbye with a smile, Cai got into the donkey cart with Li Zhicun's hand and walked all the way to the entrance of the town.
Such a non-avoidance of people, wiping sweat and holding hands, and the jokes of others, how could Li Lan and Cai Hongyun not know the relationship between the two.
The two of them couldn't hide their excitement: "What a Cai Zhen, I wanted the chastity archway when she was guarding her son for so many years, but I didn't expect to find even the concubine, and she was so unavoidable?!" Her old lady praises her daughter's observance of etiquette every day, and others have to be dismissed for saying a word, I see where her old face will be put aside this time! ”
Li Lan was even more happy in her heart, the two of them behaved like this, how could the girl who returned to Yue Chungui not know that everyone in the village was holding Chungui like something, if they knew that this girl was harboring Cai Zhen and Li Zhicun for fornication, it would be good-looking!
Today, I only went to the street to buy a fabric, but I didn't expect that there would be such a harvest!
The two of them each thought about their own things, each went back to their own home, and each had their own plans.
-
Chun Gui didn't know what was happening in the town, she got two good fabrics, and picked chickens, ducks, fish, meat, vegetables and vegetables, and planned to cook a good meal for Zhixing Qiyou, so she started to work as soon as she got home. As soon as the two entered the door, they saw that Chungui was busy with him, and there were a few bowls of double-skin milk smeared with plum sauce on the table, which were prepared for a few children in advance.
"I knew you'd be back early today."
Chun Gui hurriedly raised his eyes and said with a smile: "My aunt is here, eat a bowl quickly." ”
Zhimin trotted into the kitchen and immediately wanted to help her light the fire.
Chungui hurriedly pulled people over, and when the girl's family was growing and her appearance was good, she was reluctant to let Zhimin touch the firewood.
"This kid doesn't know what's going on, after he gets better, he is so sensible, the little one is in the kitchen and the vegetable field, and he can't stop it."
Lizheng's daughter-in-law looked at Zhimin with a loving face, the little girl's former liveliness gradually faded, and she was replaced with stability, remembering the ginger tea that several children cooked for Chungui that day, she sighed helplessly: "What else, you scared them last time." ”
Chungui touched Zhimin's hair, a little uncomfortable in her heart, thinking of the two pieces of cloth she bought today, she hurriedly said: "Minmin go and take a look at the cloth that my sister-in-law bought today, except for the blue one that makes clothes for you, the rest is for Minmin to learn to do needlework, Aunt Li will ask Sister Cai to teach you embroidery when she has almost learned it." ”
Follow the fingers of Chungui, the lake blue cloth is beautiful, the lines under it are shining, the little girl is the most enthusiastic time to learn needlework, seeing such a beautiful piece of cloth, the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are excited.
Lizheng's daughter-in-law looked at it and sighed again and again: "This cloth is not cheap, so you do everything for a few children, such a good cloth for the children to practice." ”
Chungui said with a smile: "Recently, the family has a lot of money, and it is good to spend money to make the children happy." ”
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law shook her head helplessly.
"Okay, okay, I don't need Minmin's help here, I happen to be empty, so let's hurry up and make the meal." Zhixing and Qi You ate a big pot of rice for a month, maybe it will be uncomfortable, you hurry up and make some home-cooked food to give them relief. ”
She smiled when she said this: "I'm also thinking about asking my aunt to help." ”
Zhimin was coaxed into the inner room, the two said to do it, chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits and vegetables are enough, and the egg shed is to take it, Lizheng's daughter-in-law has been cooking for more than 20 years, and she went into the kitchen to follow up at home, and the action is faster than the spring return, I don't know how much. When the spring returns, it will be divided into noodles and stuffed dumplings that Qi You loves to eat. The two worked together and soon made a big table.
And on the other side of the mountain road, Li Zhicun and Cai, who drove all the way to the donkey cart, happened to meet the three of Zhixing halfway.
Zhixing, Qi You, and Zhou Han who happily pulled Zhixing to ask here and there.
