Chapter 28: Provocation
"Aunt Zhu only came back from the town yesterday, and everyone came to pick up the work early this morning." Liu pulled An Xiao's sleeve and explained to her in a low voice: "After all, the number of embroidery jobs is limited, and if it's too late, this time the work will be dispatched, so we can only wait for the next time." ”
An Xiao answered and entered the door with Liu. She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at it, except for Aunt Zhu, who was sitting cross-legged on the big kang by the window, smiling and talking, there were also two old women wearing sauce-colored skirts sitting on the side, and there were three young daughters-in-law who were about the same age as Liu's standing around them.
"It's coming!" Seeing Liu enter the door, Aunt Zhu stopped talking and looked up at them with a smile: "I just said that you can do it, and this time the salary is the first one, so you came over." ”
"Then where is the credit of my own person, my mother and sister-in-law are the big ones, I just follow the fight to help, my aunt praises me so much, it's embarrassing." Liu Shi had already reached out and dragged An Xiao forward when he replied, and introduced with a smile: "Aunt Zhu, this is the new daughter-in-law of Xiao Dalang's family that I told you yesterday, and her maiden name is An." ”
"Ouch, this Xiao Dalang is really a blessing." Before Aunt Zhu could speak, a woman sitting next to her couldn't help but pinch her handkerchief and speak, her voice was a little sharp, and there was a little more yin and yang in her ears: "When Xiao Dalang spent that one hundred and fifty wen before, we all thought that the money was going to be wasted, who knew that now look at it, but we are worried in vain, such a handsome little lady only spent one hundred and fifty wen, such a good thing, who can meet it in ten miles and eight villages?" ”
The fact that An Xiao was bought back by Xiao Lingyue for one hundred and fifty Wen from the hands of the people, it can be said that there is nothing in the entire Beishan Village that does not know. But it's one thing to know, and it's not so acceptable to say it in such a tone now.
But this old woman looks like she is the same generation as Aunt Zhu, and she is also an elder, although the Liu family is used to being spicy in the village, but in the end, they are also facing the daughter-in-law of the same generation, and now it is not good to be too tough in the face of such elders; As for An Xiao, who appeared in front of people for the first time, he had no right to speak.
The woman's eyes raised slightly, and she wanted to stab twice, but was interrupted by Aunt Zhu on the side with a light cough. Compared with this one's bitterness, Aunt Zhu's attitude was much kinder, and she smiled at An Xiao: "What a blessed good boy, good looks and skillful hands." Yesterday, your sister-in-law came to me and said, just right, the old lady of the Song family in the city will celebrate her 60th birthday next month, the old lady likes all kinds of embroidery, if you can quickly drive out one or two embroideries suitable for birthday, regardless of size and complexity, as long as it is a finished product, the embroidery workshop will be willing to accept it. ”。
"Thank you, auntie, for mentioning it, I'll go and prepare it when I get back." An Xiao blessed Aunt Zhu's body, and it should be soft. At this time, the best way to deal with it is to respond to all kinds of changes, this is Aunt Zhu's home, if she has a conflict with this old woman here, for a bitter old woman who doesn't even know her name, and affects her first impression in the eyes of others, although it is said to be smooth, but in the end the gains outweigh the losses, not worth it.
