Chapter 40: The Arrival of Aunt Cao
Due to Ali's return to his hometown, the rematch of the fall event was postponed by one day.
The villagers heard that a rare visitor had come from Zhongcheng and came to visit.
Alikon is powerful, has a hearty personality, and is not bad looking—his skin has taken on a healthy wheat color from the wind and sun—and he has come from Midtown.
In the eyes of the villagers, he almost radiated light.
All of a sudden, Ali became the most popular young man in the village.
Ali and his party had just finished cleaning up the house and were sitting down to eat, and a table full of food had been brought by the villagers when they came to see them.
The kitchen, which hadn't been refired, was also piled up with fresh fruit and vegetables, enough to sustain them until they left the place.
A woman walked into the courtyard with a "sigh".
"Oh, I'm eating!"
She walked into the courtyard with a kind of justifiable self-cooking and a strong warm wind, wrapped in raindrops.
Cao Li's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he stood up to greet her: "Aunt Cao!"
Aunt Cao smiled: "You were only ten years old when you left the village, I didn't expect you to remember me!"
Cao Li also smiled: "Father often mentions Aunt Cao."
In fact, Cao Qi did not often mention Aunt Cao in front of Cao Li. It's just that he has been away for ten years, and everything has long been wrong when he returns to his hometown.
Only people like Aunt Cao always maintain the enthusiasm for this kind of good thing, although the reputation is not good, but for him, who is already close to a foreign country, it is easier to get close.
"Aunt Cao sit down and eat together." Companion moves a position.
Aunt Cao put the two bamboo baskets in her hand on the ground, waved her hand and said, "I've eaten it, look at this!"
As she spoke, she lifted the cloth from the basket and took out three small jars of wine from it.
On each jar is a piece of paper with a large "Cao" character written on it.
"There's wine!" His partner's eyes lit up, and he immediately took it and paid for it.
"How?" Aunt Cao asked confidently.
The partner nodded again and again, and praised without hesitation: "It's better than the wine in the dart game!"
"These are all brewed by myself when I have nothing to do, there are three small altars, all here!"
Aunt Cao stopped them as she spoke, "Don't be busy drinking first, and then try my little dish!" ”
As she spoke, she brought out two more dishes from the other basket.
As soon as it was laid out, the aroma of the dish immediately aroused the cravings in their stomachs.
"It's not going to be just two sets, is it?" Partners asked.
Aunt Cao waved her hand and said: "This is a lot, if you like to eat, when you leave, I will pack some for you and eat on the way!"
The partners said movingly: "Aunt Cao, you are so good to us!"
Cao Li smiled: "Brothers, you are blessed, Aunt Cao is a well-known clever woman in our village."
Aunt Cao interrupted him and said, "Speaking of the word 'Qiao', who can compare to the brocade girl of the village chief's family?"
"The flowers she embroidered are better than the eldest lady of the county lord!"
"Do you remember the tapestry?"
Cao Li shook his head.
Aunt Cao patted her thigh hatefully and said, "Why don't you remember?" You used to play with mud together when you were kids! ”
His impression of Cao Zhijin was a vague shadow, a small person, no higher than the fence in front of the village courtyard.
Aunt Cao smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, I'll tell you!"
“……”
"When the brocade grows to the age of fifteen, it is very smart, and the hands and feet are also diligent, and what is even more rare is that the temper is very good, and he has never blushed with anyone, and the people in the village who come to the door to propose marriage are about to break the threshold of the village chief's house!"
"Who knew that one day, Chen Huaming, who never said a word in the village, suddenly came to the village chief's house to propose marriage for his son, but he didn't expect the village chief to respond in one bite!"
"Wait for Aunt Cao, before Ali said that except for the women who married in this Caojia Village, they are all surnamed Cao, why did a foreign surname suddenly pop up?" His partner interrupted.
Aunt Cao gritted her teeth and said, "You don't know, this person with a foreign surname is terrible!" Rumors in the village ......"
She lowered her voice and leaned in the middle of a few people and whispered, "Say he's a killer!"
"Killer? Hahaha! Several people, including Ali, laughed.
Aunt Cao rolled her eyes and snorted coldly: "Don't take my words seriously, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes!"
Seeing that she was angry, Cao Li immediately comforted: "Aunt Cao, don't be angry, the livelihood we make to lick blood with a knife head may be over at some point, so we are used to it casually outside, cry when you want, laugh when you want to laugh, not for what you just said!"
When he said this, Aunt Cao felt a little sorry for him, and held him in her arms and patted him like a child: "Poor child, where is the kind of person with a small belly and chicken intestines?"
"If you don't believe the words of the eldest lady, don't you even believe the village chief?"
"The village chief also said that Chen Huaming is a killer?" Cao Lihu asked suspiciously.
Chen Huaming had the impression that in his impression, it was a man who could hide in the house at the end of the village and never come out for the rest of his life.
Because he never saw him come out once.
For as long as he could remember, his father had warned him not to go near the room, and everyone was afraid to avoid everything that had anything to do with him.
He had never seen him before, and the more he grew up under the subtlety of the villagers, the more he felt that Chen Huaming was a monster with three heads and six arms and a green fang.
Maybe he was locked up in the house, trapped by something, and couldn't get out.
But the more this happened, the more he wanted to find out.
When he finally had the courage to find out, his father was asked by a friend to move to Midtown. Before he could complete the plan that had been brewing in his childhood for several years, he left Caojia Village with his father.
Aunt Cao deliberately sold a pass: "This matter has to start after the brocade gets married."
"Chen Fansheng, the son of the Chen family, do you have an impression?"
Cao Li shook his head.
He still vaguely remembers the name Chen Fansheng, he met him from afar when he was very young, and his memory is even more vague than the memory of Cao Zhijin.
"This Chen Fansheng looks like a talent, but in fact, he is useless, he can't do the work in the field, and when the field is dry and the land is barren, he will take his wife back to his mother's house to eat and drink!"
"There are still such people!" The partner shouted dissatisfiedly.
"There's something more excessive!" Aunt Cao's eyes widened, and her eyes were angry and incredible. "He was not satisfied with marrying such a caring lady of brocade, and he even snubbed brocade every day."
"Since the brocade got married, I have been listless day by day, and I finally went to the market to relax, and I was unlucky enough to call a carriage and hit it!"
"You said that your own lady died all her life, and finally turned around, it was time to wake up, so spoiled, this Chen Fan gave birth to him, I don't know what moth was born to make the brocade run away from home angrily!"
