Chapter 24: The Plum Lady (3)

Li Shirong, who was upstairs, heard the movement and walked out of the house, and his lady followed him with an empty plate, and the two of them still went downstairs one after the other.

Li Shirong looked at the mess in the lobby, then looked at Mei Niangzi's flushed face, and smiled meaningfully at her: "I thought there was a lot of great things happening, isn't it just that this lady accidentally smashed the dishes and chopsticks with a big belly, and there is not much money. ”

Mei Niangzi was not happy to hear this: "They are making some filth in this black shop to fool people, this is a child who wants to hurt my stomach, what is it to smash a few bowls of them, they still have the face to tell me to lose money!" ”

Su Huagu didn't have a good tone: "This shrew is obviously intentionally smashed!" I just want to find a slander ......"

She has always had something to say, and she is never ambiguous, Liu Xing'er knew that she would not give up, so she secretly glanced at Su Zhengdi, and Su Zhengdi realized what she meant, so he pulled Su Huagu to the back kitchen.

Su Huagu wanted to say something, but Mrs. Su glanced at her, and she stopped talking.

Liu Xing'er looked at a few people in front of her, although she couldn't guess what Li Shirong went downstairs to say what she said for, when she saw someone in the audience, she took his words: "Mei Niangzi, if you are out of the house, let's make money in harmony, if you have something to say, the bowls and plates are not worth a few dollars, if you hurt someone and have a fetus, it will be difficult to say!" ”

Mei Niangzi also felt that it was unreasonable to smash the bowl, but she didn't refute it again.

Liu Xing'er saw that Mrs. Mei let go of her momentum, so she softened her voice and asked her politely: "Lady, saying that the dishes in our store are filthy goods, but it is not the appetite of the lady." ”

Mrs. Mei pouted and rolled her eyes: "You dried vegetables are sweet and greasy, is this something that people can eat?" ”

Liu Xing'er heard her say this, thinking that her anger was probably half gone, her eyes rolled slightly, and she said with a smile: "Mei Niangzi, I have just arrived, I don't know anything, our Stone Town has always been sweet, if you don't believe it, you can try our home-cooked food." ”

Mrs. Mei took a bite suspiciously, snorted a few times, and muttered a few words: "What kind of weird taste is this......

Liu Xing'er was happy: "Now the lady believes it!" It's the lady who can't get used to the food in our stone town, it's not that our Fulai Inn deliberately deceives the lady, in general, this is all a misunderstanding, we didn't take into account the lady's eating habits first, and our Fulai Inn is also at fault in this regard, so the few bowls smashed by the lady will not be compensated by the lady, and a few dishes will be fried for you to send up, do you think it will be successful? ”

Liu Xing'er said that Mei Niangzi was ashamed of herself, but she was unwilling to lower her posture and admit her mistakes, so she left a sentence: "Who are these people, the old lady is hungry and panicked, you fried the vegetables and quickly sent them to the old lady." ”

After speaking, he scolded and went upstairs.

In this commotion, the food on the table was almost cold, and everyone lost their appetite when they thought of the sweet and greasy taste, so they hurriedly put away the bowl and got busy.

Liu Xing'er glanced at Li Shirong seriously, and hesitated to thank him, but Liu Xing'er still spoke, but Li Shirong smiled at her, nodded inexplicably, and went upstairs.

Liu Xing'er felt a little in a trance, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Li Shirong's wife squatting on the ground to clean up those broken bowls and porcelain, she hurriedly walked over and waved her hand to stop it: "How can these things be done by our guests, it has been noisy for a while, you go upstairs and rest." ”

The woman just laughed, held her hand, and whispered, "Sister, you don't have to worry, I'm used to doing these things, I'm idle and idle, and I'll help a little when I see it." ”

Liu Xing'er disagreed, the two of them pushed and shoved, and the woman's sleeves were uncovered by Liu Xing'er, and she saw that the woman's black and thin wrists were full of scars, one after another was simply shocking, Liu Xing'er frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Lady, are you injured?" ”

The woman put down her sleeves in a panic: "When I do farm work on weekdays, there will always be some injuries, but it's nothing." ”

Saying that, she hurriedly cleaned up the ground and was about to go upstairs, Liu Xing'er looked at her with some concern, and couldn't help but call her: "I don't know what to call the lady?" ”

The woman stopped, didn't turn around, just looked sideways slightly: "My name is Chen Cuilan, you can call me Cuilan in the future." ”

Liu Xing'er thought "um" again.

Until dusk approached, a few customers came in the store one after another, all of them stayed overnight in a cheap room, and it was late at night when they were busy after dinner.

Waiting for the whole family to turn off the lights and fall asleep one by one, Liu Xing'er recalled last night's events, her heart was pounding, she sat in the lobby for a long time and didn't want to go back to the house, Su Zhengdi held the red candle, close to her ear and sighed: "Lady, what are you thinking?" ”

Liu Xing'er's face was hot-rolling-hot, and she shook her head vigorously: "I'm not quite sleepy yet, or ...... You go to sleep first. ”

Brother Su Zheng turned around and was about to leave, but he turned his head and stared at her with straight eyes: "Oh...... Then I'll go to sleep first. ”

Seeing that he was leaving, Liu Xing'er remembered the silver that Master Su and Su Erhua gave her, and hurriedly called out to him: "Hey! I still have some silver in my hand......"

Before Liu Xing'er finished speaking, Su Zhengdi's lips fell on her forehead, her eyes, the tip of her nose, and her lips.

He held the candlestick with one hand, and the other hand around her waist and wandered away, Liu Xing'er was a little caught off guard, her brain was excited, and she suddenly remembered that she was hazy and sleepy last night, and she clearly saw the piece of psychic red jade, and the rare horns on it were clearly visible.

She thought about it for a day but couldn't remember what she had forgotten, and the heart that had been depressed for a day was finally solved.

Her eyes lit up, and she reached out and pulled out the red jade around his neck, she was about to question him with her mouth half open, but if she looked closely, it was just an ordinary piece of red jade, there was nothing on it at all, and it was just some ordinary totems.

She rubbed her eyes vigorously, pinching the piece of ruby to see it more clearly.

Brother Su looked at her with interest: "What? Do you like it? I'll give it to you if you like it. ”

Liu Xing'er smiled a little embarrassed, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "Why is your red jade so similar to Brother Biao's, I thought it was ...... for a long time."

Brother Su Zheng bent over and leaned closer to her, his lips pressed to her ear: "Why do you think ...... What kind of person do you think your father-in-law can be? ”

Liu Xing'er felt itchy in her heart, and involuntarily turned her face away, and murmured: "I was so confused last night." ”

Brother Su Zhengdi picked her up, hugged her horizontally in his arms, and whispered, "Confused...... You're going to be confused, and tonight makes you even more confused. ”

Liu Xing'er leaned on his chest, her cheeks were red, Su Zhengdi chuckled, bent down and blew out the light on the table, hugged her tightly, and went back to her room.

After a night of lingering, the sky was hazy, Liu Xing'er felt pain all over her body, but she still got up with her body propped up, Su Zhengdi's sleepy eyes were hazy: "Why did you get up so early." ”

Liu Xing'er pinched her shoulders: "These days must be busy, but you can't be sloppy." ”

Su Zhengdi yawned, then got up, he leaned lazily behind her, put his hands on her shoulders and pinched him, the technique was light and soft.

He said, "Lady, there is still me in this shop, in fact, you don't have to worry about it so much." ”

Liu Xing'er raised her head and smiled while crossing her head: "I just did what I had to do, and I didn't feel too hard, yesterday - the two taels of silver that your father and your second sister handed over to me are now handed over to you." ”

Brother Su Zheng frowned: "Whose father do you say?" Whose second sister? ”

Liu Xing'er had a hippie smile, learning from Su Huagu's appearance: "It's my father, my second sister, and my Su Da shopkeeper, you are satisfied." ”

Brother Su Zhengdi was amused by Liu Xing'er, he bent his finger and gave her a brain jump: "It's your flamboyant tongue." ”

Liu Xing'er put down the wooden comb with a smile, took out a tael of silver and a bunch of money from her purse, and went out with her head up.

Su Zhengdi looked at her thin back, his heart was heavy, his fist tightened slightly, carefully closed the door, used a small sharp knife to remove a green brick on the wall, and put the piece of jade wrapped in oil paper in the drawer.

He leaned at the candlestick in his hand, watching the wax oil flow into the gap on the green bricks little by little, and the bright yellow candlelight swayed on his face.

In this way, taking advantage of the limelight of the reopening of the reopening, the store was lively for five days.

Sometimes, when Liu Xinger went upstairs with a plate, she would meet Chen Cuilan alone, she was wandering in the corridor with her heart full of worries, Liu Xinger remembered the injury on her hand, and looked at her always wanting to stop talking.

Sometimes, Liu Xinger would bump into Li Shirong and Mei Niangzi at the staircase and whisper something.

Liu Xinger didn't think much about it.

That Mei Niang has a big belly, Li Shirong and her have already met each other, and it is not a big deal to talk and chat when they meet in one place.

After all, male-female conversation is a common occurrence in the twenty-first century.

In this way, many people came and went in the store, but Mei Niangzi and Li Shirong lived in the store all the time, and they all renewed their rooms on the afternoon of the fifth day.

A family of four came to Liu Xing'er to settle the bill, and the woman in charge complained to her husband while lowering her head and counting the copper plates: "Look at other people's husbands, their own lady has a big belly, that's called a nervous, how can you be like you who have no conscience!" I'm really miserable! ”

In the upstairs guest room, only Mei Niangzi has a big belly, but ...... She's clearly alone! Where did the husband come out!?

Liu Xing'er couldn't help but say more: "Who is her husband?" ”
