Chapter 11: Dilemma
After that, Jing Xin said goodbye to Yan Qing and turned back into a little fox and returned to the grocery store.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a shrill voice talking: "Oops! Arou didn't go to worship the moon god yesterday? Why didn't you have a bloodletting? If the Moon God is to blame, you can't afford it! ”
Then Uncle Zhang said in a good voice: "Sister-in-law Li, it's not that my Arou Axue is unwilling, it's that they didn't want it, and it is impossible for my daughter to go up and let them bleed by herself, right?" Do you say? ”
Unexpectedly, in just one morning, the news of last night's blood sacrifice had spread throughout the town, and everyone was talking about it. These aunts and aunts have nothing else to do but work, and it is late autumn now, and there is not much farm work, and they are all walking the streets and alleys chattering about last night's events, and they don't know how to be tired.
What's going on? Jing Xin frowned, opened the door a crack, and quietly looked out from the inside.
In the small backyard of the grocery store, there was a short and fat aunt, who was twisting a handkerchief, pointing to Arou who was sitting next to her and had been talking something. Uncle Zhang stood aside and rubbed his hands, echoing her.
Ah Rou has been weaving the bamboo strips in her hand, without raising her head or speaking. Ah Xue was also by her side to help. Ah Rou must be angry, but because everyone is a neighbor, if they have a seizure, everyone will not look good.
Aunt Li continued: "Why are you two children so ignorant? We didn't go to worship the moon god lady on this whole street. ”
"These two children are still young, don't worry about them." Uncle Zhang felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not easy to say anything.
Aunt Li said: "It's not something I don't care about!" It's the moon god who doesn't blame her. He added, "If the moon god is to blame, this is the business of you girls who did not go to the blood sacrifice." ”
Uncle Zhang hurriedly changed the topic: "Oops! Sister-in-law Li, did your daughter go yesterday? "Sister-in-law Li's daughter just got married the year before last and is now pregnant.
Sister-in-law Li glared at him fiercely: "Ah! Zhang Hanzi! My daughter is having a big belly, how can I participate in that kind of thing, it is a big taboo for the pregnant person to see blood, what if the tire slips? Are you cursing my daughter? ”
Uncle Zhang took a deep breath, didn't want to talk to her anymore, and turned his back to look to the side.
"However, I see that your daughter is not too young," Sister-in-law Li was not satisfied, "There are still a few days before she turns fourteen, right?" Seeing that Uncle Zhang ignored her, he pushed Uncle Zhang again, "You speak!" ”
Uncle Zhang reluctantly said, "Well, there are five days to turn fourteen." ”
Aunt Li didn't mean to leave, so she came to Arou and took a closer look, and said, "This appearance is okay, why don't I be a matchmaker for you, how about the second son of the Liu family next to the Yongsheng Bridge by the river?" ”
That the second son of the Liu family is a fool! Uncle Zhang finally couldn't hold his breath and said, "If you like him, let your daughter remarry!" Don't come to harm my daughter. ”
Aunt Li looked at Uncle Zhang fiercely and said, "It's not enough to say two words?" Although the second young master of the Liu family is stupid, his family is rich. Marrying your Arou, the dowry alone can make you worry about food and clothing for more than ten years, and you can also open this little broken shop! After speaking, he spat on the ground, and then stepped forward and pushed Arou.
Arou was caught off guard and was pushed, she was originally angry in her heart, and she stood up and looked at Aunt Li after a few rubs.
Aunt Li glared at her and said, "You're still not happy?" Hum! Sure enough, there are things that are not taught by mothers! After saying this, he angrily twisted the handkerchief and walked out of the door.
It wasn't until Aunt Li walked out that Uncle Zhang came to comfort Arou: "Daughter, don't take it to heart, these aunts are such a temper, they are used to chewing their tongues on weekdays, and they are not a good thing." Ah Xue also pulled her sleeve on the side and told her not to be angry.
Arou calmed down, sat down again, and smiled: "How can I be angry?" Left and right are just unrelated people. But this was like a comfort to myself. "No Mother" was her biggest nightmare of all time.
Uncle Zhang thought she really didn't take it to heart, so he sighed and went out to take care of the shop.
Arou thought to herself, I wonder if she will be like this in many years? It's annoying to be like these aunts, who have nothing to do on weekdays, chewing people's tongues behind their backs and poking at other people's shortcomings.
For a while, my heart was gloomy, and I was silent.
Seeing that Uncle Zhang had left and there was no one else in the small courtyard, Jing Xin slammed open the door, came to Arou's side, jumped on her legs and lay down, put her head on her arm, and lied coquettishly.
Arou snorted and laughed, "How can I work like this, come down!" After saying that, seeing that it had no intention of coming down, he took it and put it on the ground.
Jing Xin saw that she was in a good mood, even if Ah Rou didn't allow him to sit on her lap, she didn't get angry, and turned her head to fight with Ah Xue.
Ah Rou watched this person have a good time, and finally laughed happily.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Ah Rou learned from her friend Lin Ling that most of the girls in the town who didn't have blood sacrifices were sneered at by the neighbors.
"How did you find out about this now?" Lin Ling saw Ah Xue on the side again and said, "Is this your cousin?" ”
Ah Rou said "um": "Her name is Ah Xue, cute!" He continued his work and said, "I'm not like your family who lives in the center of the town, and I can still hang around outside every day, and I still have to help my father do things." ”
"Oh, let's not talk about these things for now," Lin Ling said hello to Ah Xue, and saw Jing Xin sitting with Ah Xue on the side, "This dog is so cute, it's just, it looks a little strange, like, like ......"
"Like a fox?"
Lin Ling jumped up and said in surprise: "Ah! How did you know I wanted to say this? ”
"It's a fox." Ah Rou pretended to be very calm and said, watching Lin Ling's reaction.
"You're a fox!" Lin Ling exclaimed, "You are so powerful! ”
Ah Rou hurriedly snorted: "You are quieter, do you have to hear my father?" ”
Lin Ling immediately covered her mouth and looked outside, confirming that Uncle Zhang hadn't noticed this side before relieving herself. Said cautiously: "Do you really dare to raise a fox?" He walked up to Jing Xin and squatted down, stretched out his hand and touched it.
"What about nursing?" Arou looked up at her, "Just don't be found by my father." ”
Lin Ling saw that she had been doing things and was not enthusiastic, so she said, "Are you not tired of helping your father work here all day long?" Sometime to hang out with me. ”
Arou smiled: "Then you are not tired every day?" ”
"Not tired!" Lin Ling stood up and said with full of vitality, "Are you going to hang out with me?" ”
"Tomorrow, I'll take them with me." Arou pointed at Xue and Jingxin.
"It's a deal!"
