Chapter 43: Riding in a car
The two sisters and brothers were walking on the trail, Liu Jixiang did not ask Liu Ruyi how far the road to the town was, the two walked silently, I don't know how far they walked, suddenly, an ox cart slowly came, and there were several women sitting on the car.
"Isn't that auspicious? You and your brother are going there!" Uncle Liu asked with concern.
Liu Jixiang didn't know how to deal with this old man, because she didn't know this old man, and she didn't know what to say, so she stopped there, but Liu Ruyi helped her solve the embarrassment, and said happily: "Uncle Liu, I want to go to the county seat with my sister!"
"Oh!" Uncle Liu nodded, "If you want to go to the county seat, why don't you wait in the village to be my ox cart!" “
Liu Ruyi lowered his head and said a little shyly: "Uncle Liu, my sister and I have no money······ So ......"
Uncle Liu laughed, "What kind of thing is this, we are still clansmen, forget about this money, you can come up and sit!"
A few aunts sitting in the car were unhappy, "Uncle Liu, this is not fair, we are also in the same clan, and I didn't see you don't want our fare!" ”
"Yes, it's not fair, otherwise I'll get the fare free this time!"
"Yes, yes, everyone is from the same village, you have to make a bowl of water even!"
Uncle Liu spat on the ground fiercely, "What are you old ladies talking about, I feel sorry for these two children and think they are pitiful, so help them, of course, if you want to be as pitiful as them, I can also be merciful and not charge you fare, but are you pitiful?" ”
One of the aunts was still cheeky, "I think I'm quite pitiful, so Uncle Liu, you can give me this fare for free!" ”
"Heh, I've never seen such a shameless woman, old man!" Uncle Liu said mockingly: "If your parents are dead, and your father-in-law dies, and everything in the family is occupied by others, I will definitely give you a waiver of this penny of fare!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the aunt didn't dare to say anything, after all, her father and her father-in-law were alive and well, and she wouldn't curse her father-in-law and her father-in-law to die because of a penny! Although I was embarrassed, Liu Jixiang really didn't want to leave, so he took Liu Ruyi to the ox cart!
The ox cart is shaking, although Liu Jixiang is uncomfortable, but it is much more comfortable than walking!
"Jixiang, it's been a while since you came back, didn't your uncle say anything?" An aunt suddenly asked.
Sure enough, where there are people, it won't stop, Liu Jixiang really doesn't want to pay attention to this woman, but she really doesn't know the look in her eyes, and she asks over there.
"Why don't you speak, someone said that you and your uncle had a fight, is this true?"
Liu Jixiang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "This is my family matter, I have nothing to say!"
The aunt was unhappy, "How do you talk about it, I care about you, I heard your relatives say that you don't know what to do the day before yesterday, I didn't believe it, I didn't think it was just true, you kid, we don't mean anything else, we just want to care about you!"
It's a concern and a desire to inquire about things, you know best in your own hearts, but I really don't want to play with you!
"Auntie, if you really want to know the situation of the matter, go and ask my uncle yourself, ask me what I do, do you think I'm so hot?" Liu Jixiang said unceremoniously.
"You ······" The aunt was so angry that she wanted to say something, but the ox cart stopped.
"The county seat has arrived, what are you going to do hurry up, my ox cart won't wait for anyone!" Uncle Liu said suddenly.
Even if the aunt was angry, she didn't want to waste time at this time, so she could only leave here angrily with the other aunts, and when she left, she muttered and scolded: "I really don't know what to do, no wonder Kefu!"
When those aunts left, Uncle Liu looked at Liu Jixiang and said bitterly: "Jixiang, be careful yourself, those mothers-in-law's mouths are very ugly, if you offend them, maybe what will you say!"
Liu Jixiang was stunned for a moment by Uncle Liu's concern, and then nodded, "I know, but the clear person is self-purifying, I just have a clear conscience!"
Uncle Liu sighed, "Alas, you child, you are not as good as before, you have no father, your husband is dead again, and no one can protect you, so you have to be careful yourself, as the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, in case there are some unpleasant words, I am afraid that it will affect your reputation!" “
Liu Jixiang nodded, but he didn't take it to heart, after all, reputation is a thing, and it doesn't affect his own food or drink, it really doesn't matter!
Liu Jixiang carried things on his back, took his brother's hand, and entered the city together, at the beginning, Liu Jixiang looked around like a dirt bun, the county is very big, people come and go, like the costume drama deduced, the surrounding houses are blue brick houses, and more importantly, there is a two-story small building here, my obedient, this is a building, in ancient times, it is really strange!
Of course, not everyone lives in such a good house, there are also some adobe houses, as for the clothes worn by the people around, most of them are some gray and cyan, and black and the like, and there are few brightly colored fabrics, which can be understood, the ancient textile industry was not developed, and pigments were also scarce, so there were very few brightly colored clothes here.
The clothes worn by the people on the street are definitely better than the clothes they wear, although there are patches, but they look extremely clean and tidy, and most of them have a little flesh on their faces, unlike those in the countryside, all of them are yellow and thin.
Liu Jixiang watched for a long time, and his heart also felt the silence that he had not seen for a long time, until he found out that it was not too early, so he hurriedly took Liu Ruyi's hand and asked passers-by about the person who sold things, but when he arrived at that place, he found that the good place had been occupied by others, alas, it was all her fault, and they came a little late......
But fortunately they don't need a big place, they just need to be able to put down a bamboo basket and look around, and really let them find a good place, around the corner, there are a lot of people selling things, all kinds of selling eggs, some selling radishes and cabbage, and some selling some wood and the like, the only thing that makes people feel new is that someone is selling fish, but the business is not very good, scattered ...... As for the clamour, there really isn't any, it should be that the weather is too cold, and everyone is too lazy to open their mouths.
