Chapter 22: Kindness Doesn't Change the River (2)
Soon the ox cart arrived at the door of Fusheng Hall, Liu Dahe and Xiao Qi carried the little master of the Wang family into the Fusheng Hall horizontally, and the face of the medicine boy in the hall was infinitely magnified in front of the young master of the Wang family, and the medicine boy: "Ah, isn't this the young master of the Wang family!" When the medicine boy spoke, his saliva sprayed the young master of the Wang family in the face.
The young master of the Wang family felt that his image had been completely ruined, he looked at Xiao Qi, and said in his heart, how could this unlucky kid have so much strength, the young master of the Wang family turned his face to Liu Dahe aggrievedly: "Big brother, I can walk in by myself,"
Liu Dahe: "Young Master Wang, you can see a doctor here with peace of mind, and I should also go and do my own business." ”
Liu Dahe turned around and left with Xiao Qi, and the young master of the Wang family shouted at their backs: "Big brother, come to the town to find me in the future, I am a person who will repay my kindness." ”
Liu Dahe drove the ox cart out of Fushengtang, and Ah Fu saw that his mother had been staring at the money bag in his hand, so he handed the money bag to his old lady Niu: "Mother, you are the person in charge of our family's money, and you should take this money." ”
Niu touched the hard silver in the money bag, and his face bloomed: "Dahe, go to the jar sticker, let's buy a few more baked cakes, so that the two children can eat enough." ”
Xiao Qi: "Okay, let's buy a few more, and bring two baked cakes to the beggar at the gate of the opera garden, last time the Zhao family wronged my father, thanks to him for helping to speak." ”
Liu Dahe: "What Xiao Qi said is that let's buy a few more baked cakes for Datou, and then give him some money." ”
Niu's didn't feel distressed when he heard it, anyway, he got ten taels of silver for nothing today.
The family was really hungry, and they gobbled up eight baked cakes.
Xiao Qi still wanted to eat the two baked cakes after eating, so he said to himself: "I can't eat any more, and the rest is left to the big head." ”
The family found the big head at the gate of the opera garden, Xiao Qi handed ten baked cakes to the big head, and the big head was very happy to receive ten baked cakes, thanked Xiao Qi again and again, and gave a few to the little beggar next to him.
Ah Fu took thirty yuan from Liu Dahe's hand and handed it to Datou, who shook his head and was reluctant to take it: "I just said a few words that should be said, it is not easy for you to live in the countryside, I won't accept the money." ”
Liu Dahe: "Take it, buy yourself something delicious during the New Year." ”
The big head blushed and counted out ten big coins and hid them in his arms, and returned the rest to Liu Dahe, and the big head stood straight: "Uncle, I borrowed these ten cents, and I will return them to you in the future." ”
After saying goodbye to the big head, Niu couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that there are beggars who don't want money." ”
Liu Dahe: "That's a sincere child. ”
Liu Dahe looked up and saw that it was still early, so he said to the two children: "I heard that there are monkey tricks in the town today, and my father will take you to see the monkeys." ”
The two children looked forward to it, Niu's face blushed when she heard it, she remembered that in the past, the day after she and Liu Dahe were engaged, Liu Dahe took her to the town to watch the little monkey performance, the two held hands for the first time, you are thick and I am thick, after watching the performance Liu Dahe bought new clothes for Niu's family, and also bought a very beautiful silver bracelet, but the bracelet is now worn on the hand of Niu's old lady Yu.
A family of four watched the monkey performance in the opera garden, and the monkeys were somersaulting on the stage, making fun of everyone and snatching food from everyone's hands, which made Xiao Qi and Ah Fu laugh non-stop. After the monkey performance, he held the tray and bowed to the crowd, Liu Dahe handed Ah Fu and Xiao Qiyi a big money, and the two children happily rewarded the monkey with the money.
After watching the monkey, the family began to go shopping for things, Liu Dahe bought a very beautiful cigarette holder on the street, he saw his father Liu Quan's eyes looking at the old patriarch's cigarette holder with hot eyes, Liu Dahe remembered it, picked it on the set for a long time, and bought a more beautiful cigarette holder for his father than the old patriarch.
Then they bought flour, fish, meat, etc., and the family spent a total of half a tael of silver to buy a large cart of New Year's goods back to Liujia Village.
Peach Blossom Niang was sitting under the bare willow tree at the entrance of the village listening to others chatting, and saw Liu Dahe's family driving the ox cart into the village, adults and children were smiling on their faces, and the ox cart was full of things, including fish and meat.
Peach Blossom's heart was as sour as if she had knocked over the vinegar jar: "Xiao Qi Niang, your family had an accident a few days ago, and today you are so happy and buy so many things, I remember that your family still owes a lot of silver to the Hua family, and it is not okay to owe debts." ”
Niu: "It's not your family's money owed, what are you bothering about?" Saying that, Niu wanted to jump out of the car and have a fight with Peach Blossom Niang, but was stopped by Liu Dahe, Liu Dahe persuaded Niu in a low voice: "People like Peach Blossom Niang, which woman in the village loves to take care of her, let's go home, go back and send the remaining silver to the Hua family first, the Hua family is kind enough to help us, we can't let the family chill." ”
When he returned home, Niu put the meat on salt and put it away, and now that the weather is cold, he is not afraid of spoilage.
At dinner, Niu Shi made a dish of braised carp with spicy seeds in it, which was fragrant and spicy and very delicious. The leftover fish soup quickly turned into fish jelly, and the two siblings, Ah Fu and Xiao Qi, liked to eat fish jelly very much.
Another carp was cut and washed by the Niu, and the belly of the fish was hung in the yard with small branches, and it was intended to be eaten when the Chinese New Year's Eve was in its thirties, and people with conditions in the Chinese New Year's Eve would generally burn a fish to eat, which meant a good omen for the surplus every year.
