Chapter 121: Neighbors, It Turns Out to Be Acquaintances

Frankly. [No pop-ups. Autumn colors were asked so unceremoniously. I feel very uncomfortable. But if I quarrel with her rashly, I'm afraid it's not good. That. Is that all there is to it?

Autumn colors half-droop the eyelids. Then he said very guiltily: "I'm sorry." I'm causing you trouble. You can rest assured. When my father-in-law comes back, I will let him go out to find a house and move. ”

The young woman in blue was startled. A little uneasy, he glanced towards the main room. Then he angrily scolded Qiu Se and said, "You have something wrong." I'll just ask you what the men do in the yamen. Who told you to move. ”

"But didn't you say that your lord was unwilling to give up half of the yard?" Autumn looked up with an innocent face.

"I didn't say anything. I mean......" The young woman in blue panicked.

"White woman. Let you dry a quilt and still haven't finished drying. Out of the main room came an older middle-aged woman in a silk dress. Standing on the stairs, looking condescendingly over this direction.

White woman. Autumn colors almost burst out laughing. This woman must be about the same age as herself. was called a mother-in-law.

The young woman in blue, who was called the white woman, immediately looked like she had seen a cat. Take two steps back. Shrink your head and bend over. Respectfully shouted. "Big lady."

See her do this. The autumn colors suddenly felt familiar. Look at the big lady with a calm face and continue to reprimand the white woman. "You can't do it well for half a day. It's better to hire a helper. What use do you say I raise you. Tell you how many times. Now this yard is not our Fang family. Be careful not to embarrass our Fang family's face. ”

The eldest lady finished training the white woman. The polite morning autumn color bowed slightly. Autumn color also hurriedly returned a salute. smiled: "Good lady." ”

"You're welcome. You're Ai Zhutou's newly married lady, right? My husband's surname is Fang. You can just call my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law Fang said politely.

"Sister-in-law Fang. I'm in trouble with my father-in-law. Although Autumn Color was very reluctant to say this. But now she is a family with Ai Laohu. and borrowed to live in other people's yards. I should apologize first.

Sister-in-law Fang's face showed a sincere smile. "What trouble is not troublesome. Anyway, the courtyard here is also a yamen's. It's the same for everyone. Ai Niangzi, you should be busy first. I'm going to go into the house and make clothes for my son. ”

"That's good. You go busy. Qiu Se watched Sister-in-law Fang call the white woman into the house. Standing in the courtyard, I can occasionally hear the voice of Sister-in-law Fang's training.

Autumn Colors shook her head. What a strange person. Look at the yard. It's a small courtyard pattern. There are three main rooms. There are three rooms in the east and west wings. There are no happy words on the panes of the main room and the west wing. Only the window of the east wing has the word double happiness in red. Seemingly. Only these three rooms are my home. Autumn Colors slept in the South House last night. She went into the north room and flipped through it. Really. All of my chests are piled up here. Busy finding clothes. I want to get some hot water to wipe myself down. But she looked for a long time, don't talk about the pot. Even firewood and water tanks were not found.

No way. Autumn had to change out of the wedding dress first. He wore a dark red jacket and trousers.

Wait for Ai Laohu to come back with a food box. Autumn asked him about the pot and the water tank.

"Forgot. I don't cook. I don't even remember to prepare those things. Ai Laohu replied while pouring noodles into his mouth. Asked again about the autumn colors. "You still don't have to eat that noodle. If you don't eat it, I'll eat it. ”

Autumn looks at the large bowl of noodles in front of him. Look at Ai Laohu's bowl that has bottomed out. Sighing, he said, "I can't eat so much." Give you some. This noodle isn't as delicious as my dad's cooking. ”

Ai Laohu picked the noodles into his bowl. The mouth is not idle. "Didn't your father learn that from you? I heard that the bone soup noodles are selling quite well on the docks. ”

"He didn't have anything to do, so he gave him a random idea. I didn't expect it to sell so well. There used to be a noodle shop on the pier. Autumn color pushed the rest of the soup in front of Ai Laohu. I don't eat it. Let's go out and buy something in a while, and come back and make it ourselves. It's expensive and unpalatable. ”

"Okay. Your cooking is indeed better than the average cook. Ai Laohu readily agreed. Then there was another pause. "But we don't have a stove. It's hard to have one with Brother Fang's family. Don't build one yourself. ”

"Didn't there be two stoves for the fire when you entered the door?" Autumn Colors asked.

Ai Laohu took the autumn-colored bowl and drank the soup clean. "I don't know if the stove is good. It's fine. Try it first. No, let's get another one. ”

"Yes." Solve the problem of eating. Autumn colors are relaxing. asked about Fang Shu's house.

"Originally, I wanted to borrow a yard from the prefectural order. But there was only one set of yards left. The county order gave Mrs. Yanxia to live. I had no choice but to live with someone else. Brother Fang's family has a small population. That's why it's here. You can rest assured. At the end of the year. I'm sure you'll be able to live in your own house. Ai Laohu patted his chest and promised.

"Oh." Autumn color asked curiously, "Hey." He has a daughter in his family. It feels like I'm in my twenties. Why does Sister-in-law Fang call her Bai Pozi. ”

"That's just a concubine that Sister-in-law Fang bought to give birth to. Ignore her in the future. Ai Laohu finished. Looking at the autumn color, he frowned. "What kind of dress are you? Neither men nor women. Hurry up and go out. ”

Autumn colors choke. Why is she dressed as a man or a woman. This shape-fitting waist-pinching jacket is very beautiful with open-legged pants of the same color, okay. Seeing Ai Laohu's eyes staring at his upper body, he didn't move. I couldn't help but glare at him. "Color embryo." But when he arrived at the North House, he found a black smock and put it on.

The husband and wife went to the street for a sweep. Half a bag of white flour and half a bag of cornmeal. A bag of millet. There is also medium-sized rice from the south that weighs ten catties. Plus a variety of spices, cooking utensils, bowls and chopsticks. Vegetable pork. Thanks to Ai Laohu, the people are tall and powerful. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to hire a mule cart to pull it.

"What are you buying this stalk for? It's something that only southerners eat. It's also too expensive. A pound of rice is about to catch up with the money of a pound of meat. Ai Laohu looked at the half bag of terrier rice in his hand. I still feel a little distressed.

Autumn Colors couldn't stop being happy at the thought of being able to eat rice at night. I was not annoyed when I heard Ai Laohu's whining words. With a grin, he came over and took his hand. "Taste it. If this stuff tastes good. Let's plant it ourselves. Besides. My man is so generous. He was reluctant to eat two meals of rice for his woman. ”

Ai Laohu's hand was pulled by the autumn color, and his heart first softened by half. Hearing her say this again, she would have lost her temper a long time ago. just looked slightly uncomfortable and reprimanded: "You let go." Give people a look of what it looks like. ”

Autumn color hehe smiled. But he also let go of his hand. The two bought a lot of things and returned home. It's past noon.

Shook the flask. Autumn colors sigh. "You said you didn't even have a pot of water. What to do when you are thirsty. ”

Ai Laohu came over and directly picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth. After pouring it, he said, "I have always only drunk alcohol. After speaking, seeing Qiushi's eyes widening and looking at himself, he couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, don't worry." I'm going to see if the stove can be used. ”

Fortunately. The stoves on both sides are a little old. There is no problem with lighting a fire and cooking.

Ai Laohu washed his hands with cold water and said, "Let's use the firewood from Brother Fang's house today." Tomorrow I will buy an extra bundle and return it to him. I'm going to go out and get two water tanks right now. so that you can cook. ”

"There you go. I'll make braised pork first. Along the way, refine the pot. ”

Autumn colors smell the aroma of meat gradually overflowing from the pot. Two sticks of firewood were withdrawn. When I turned around, I was startled.

"It's you. Is there something wrong. Qiuse looked at the smiling white woman and secretly rolled her eyes and asked.

The white woman smiled flatteringly at the autumn color. Two eyes on her pot. whispered: "Ai Niangzi's stewed meat is really fragrant." Can you give me some to taste. In the morning, the eldest lady punished me. I haven't eaten yet. ”

Autumn colors originally thought that after a not too pleasant meeting in the morning. This white woman doesn't say that she hates herself, and she should stay away from herself. Unexpectedly, she didn't just take the initiative to greet her. And he opened his mouth to beg for meat. Is. I've seen the thick-skinned. I've never seen such a thick skin. But. Autumn colors are really embarrassed to say no. Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha. The concubine is also the concubine of the Renfang family.

"Hmm. It's delicious. Ai Niangzi's craftsmanship is really good. The white woman actually stood at the door of Qiuse's house and directly ate the meat that was not rotten with her hands. While eating, he praised inarticulately.

"What." Qiu Se couldn't help but be stunned as she watched the white woman send the bowl to her again. Subconsciously asked.

"Hey, hey." The white woman pulled the corners of her oil-stained twisted mouth with a flattering smile. The hand is still stretched forward.

Autumn colors are full of black lines. I still want it. I was hungry here, and I didn't even say I would eat a piece of meat. She's good here. I dare to reach out to myself.

deliberately pretended not to understand what she meant. Autumn colors did not go to pick up the bowl. "I don't have water in my house right now. Take this bowl back and wash it yourself. ”

When the white woman saw the autumn color, she no longer served meat to herself. He took back the bowl stupidly. But he didn't leave. Still standing in the doorway talking to Autumn Colors.

"If you become a parent, you don't have to sell watermelons anymore."

Autumn color stunned. How would she know she had sold watermelons?

The white woman smiled a little proudly when she saw the surprised look of the autumn color. "Ai Niangzi doesn't remember me? Last year in front of my house. I also bought your five-toothed watermelon. I've always had a good memory. The first time I saw you, it sounded familiar. Don't you remember me. ”

Five-toothed watermelon. Fang Shu office on the house. Concubine. Autumn colors suddenly remembered. When selling watermelons with Gazi last year. The first customers were two women. There was a young woman who wanted to bargain. Later, an old woman came out and bought a five-toothed watermelon in one go. Mo not. This is the family. It's really fateful.

"It's you. I remembered what you said. Autumn said with a smile.

"You're really lucky. used to run around the streets with other men, but now he can marry the head catcher in the yamen. That's right. Does your man know that you have sold watermelons before. The white woman raised her eyebrows and asked. No matter how you look at it, it's a bit threatening.
