Chapter 292: Little Greens
Mei Laosuo knew that his wife was in a difficult situation, so he couldn't help but sigh, looked at the direction next door, shook his head and said sadly, "Who called us poor!" This person, do you have to see who is rich? "At first, when they spent a lot of money to do happy things for Meiqu, the people who came to congratulate the banquet did not praise Meiqu from the hair to the heels, how auspicious and obedient can all be said, saying that Meiqu has a good life, has ability, said that the new daughter-in-law is beautiful and neat, the status is noble, and the Mao's flattery for a few days is all happy to close her mouth, but now, after eating their family's wine feast, they don't think about their family's good, and they go to Jiang's house with their eyes.
Qiao Xian hid in the house and didn't come out, and her heart was also very uneasy, she originally felt that she was a city lady, and she deigned to come to this country village, and she must be the first to throw off those rough women in the countryside for dozens of streets. Even if Sister Qiu is more beautiful than her, richer than her, and tasteful in what she wears, she insists that she is stronger than Sister Qiu, because Sister Qiu was born in the countryside, no matter how she dresses up on the phoenix, she is still a grass chicken in essence. But she didn't expect that in the next two days, the new daughter-in-law next door dumped her for dozens of streets, whether it was her family background or appearance, all of them turned her into scum in seconds.
"If you don't marry some people in Huyang City, you don't marry in this countryside...... Qiao Xian'er kicked the kang leg angrily and muttered viciously: "Don't you don't do something that you can't see in Huyang City, you have a bad reputation, so you can't marry so far...... Ironclad yes! "Otherwise, why would the well-born city lady marry the farmer?
Just as he was muttering, Mei Qu pushed the door and came in, and when she saw Qiao Xian sitting on the side of the kang and chirping crookedly, she felt a little angry in her heart, and said with a straight face: "What are you doing stupidly sitting in the daytime?" The face is also not washed or combed, what does it look like! ”
"What do you look like?" Qiao Xian asked angrily.
Mei Qu was cold, the anger in his heart became more and more vigorous, and he pointed at Qiao Xian and said, "Are you embarrassed to ask me what I look like?" Look in the mirror by yourself! Seeing the sky sitting at home and waiting to eat ready-made, eat ready-made, the oil bottle is poured and I don't even have a pair of shoes, what's the use of me marrying you? "Don't talk about making shoes, at the moment Mao is busy in the small kitchen, and neither of the two daughters-in-law has any intention of going over to help.
"Phew!" Qiao Xian was also not polite to Mei Qu, when he spit out, "Mei Laoqi, you are a turtle boy, what kind of uncle do you play in front of your aunt and grandma, what are you doing when your aunt doesn't know?" When my aunt rarely comes to your dirty and dilapidated countryside? Aren't you feeling uncomfortable when you see someone next door marrying a city lady with red eyes? If you have the ability, you can also marry a rich lady, and your aunt and grandmother are in a hurry to make room for people! ”
Mei Qu was speechless, although he was so-so in his reading, but he was a cultural person, and scolding people was far inferior to the experienced Qiao Xian.
Qiao Xian also added thoughtfully, "With my aunt's appearance and wrist, it's better if you don't be afraid that you won't be able to find it.
You hurry up to find a rich uncle and lady, don't delay your aunt's future! ”
Mei Qu'er fell back angrily, hated Qiao Xian, and finally gritted her teeth a few times, but still endured it, and walked away with a hideous and terrifying face. After Mei Qu left, Qiao Xian's heart was not very good, the couple fought after all, it was a lose-lose situation, although Mei Qu won on the mouth, but in fact, Qiao Xian couldn't do any good by herself, she was clear in her heart, leaving Mei Qu, leaving the countryside she hated, she had nothing else to do except the old business.
When Meiqu got out of the courtyard, the sneaky copper stock quietly slipped into Qiao Xian and Meiqu's house, and asked Qiao Xian, who was sitting on the edge of the kang with his head stewed: "Sister, it's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, are you still going to the town to catch the market?" ”
Qiao Xian thought about her thoughts, and suddenly heard the copper strand shout in her ear, and her soul was about to fly, and after relieving herself, the angry Qiao Xian stroked her heart and kicked over, "Stay away from me, scare to death, you don't know!" ”
Tong Gu smiled, salivated and asked, "What do you want, sister?" You don't know anything about me when I come in, tell me about it. ”
"Why do you care so much?" Qiao Xian frowned at the five big and three thick copper stocks, thinking about the quarrel with Mei Qu just now, and said to the copper stocks: "It's not a way for you to go on like this, let's follow them to the ground tomorrow, what's so difficult about the work in the ground, you will learn it, you are a smart person, this thing can't stop you." "A strong young man as big as Tonggu eats more than anyone else, but he doesn't work, and even the Mao family, who likes her the most, doesn't have a good face, if this matter is not dealt with, sooner or later it will be troublesome. When Tong Gu heard that he was going to work in the field, he was angry, jumped to his feet and said, "Bah! I came here with you to the countryside, but I have to be a dirt bun and a long-term worker who doesn't need money! Have you forgotten what you promised me? I haven't forgotten, do you want me to tell you again and give you a heads up? ”
Mei Qu is a scholar, although the name of the subject was not examined, there are quite a few people who break the rules and pay attention to it, like a male baby as big as copper stocks, in his opinion, even if he and Qiao Xian are sisters and brothers, the two of them also have to pay attention to the defense of men and women, and they must maintain a distance, especially between the sister and the brother-in-law, where can they go in casually, for this Mei Qu talked to Qiao Xian a few times.
Tong Gu muttered a few ugly words, but he didn't care much, he cared about other things, "Sister, you haven't been to the town to catch up with the market for a while, this is the Dragon Boat Festival immediately, don't you go?" ”
"I'll go tomorrow, and I'll go buy some needlework and come back." Qiao Xian preached uncaringly. "Then are you still going to the bean curd shop?" Copper asked. Qiao Xian was annoyed and shook his hand unhappily, "Don't go, don't go!" What are you doing with her! The dead girl who doesn't eat oil and salt, the good guy who doesn't know, sooner or later makes her regret! ”
"Why don't you go and take a look?" The copper stock is also unhappy, "Seeing the sky, I said that I can handle my wrists well, how good is it?" Where is there a day or two days to do it, it is because you don't go, people don't believe you! ”
Tong Gu wanted to follow Qiao Xian and take a look at the beautiful girl in the Douhuaer shop
Head plum autumn frost. A few days ago, Qiao Xian often went to the town to see Sister Qiu, so unfortunately he didn't bring him with him, but now it's good, so he simply doesn't go, this is very unhappy, he can't sleep at night, and his heart is itching.
Qiao Xian thought that his IQ and wrist were far higher than the copper shares and these Xu Zhuang households, and suddenly gave the copper shares a few words, and his heart was furious, and he said: "I use you to teach?" How good are you and how good are you? Until now, you still don't rely on your aunt to eat and eat? Believe it or not, my aunt and grandma are now telling them that you are not my aunt's little brother, and they will get rid of you immediately! Let me tell you, don't think that your aunt doesn't know what the hell you have in mind, she is also what you can think of......"
Speaking of this, Qiao Xian suddenly silenced his voice, looked at the copper strands for a long time, and suddenly a string in his head seemed to be connected, and he understood, and immediately the music bloomed, and he looked up and down happily on the copper strands, and felt that he was really stupid before!
Not long after Dayin got engaged, the Dragon Boat Festival was coming. This time, Dayin decided to stay at home for the Dragon Boat Festival and then organize a caravan to sell goods to the west, not because he wanted to accompany his parents more, but also because this time he planned to set up a few branches in the west, and the preparation time would be longer.
According to the practice of the past few years, Sister Qiu will go back to Xiaohe Town on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, first go to Meiliang's grave to burn paper, and then go to give gifts to Mei's family, and then have lunch at Jiang's house, and go back to the town in the afternoon to celebrate the festival with the Jia family.
On the day of the engagement from Dayin, after Mei Qu and Qiao Xian had a big quarrel, Mei Qu was angry, Qiao Xian was not a stupid person, she was very obedient, these days are not like the previous ten fingers do not stick to the spring water, fortunately to help Mao Shi in the small kitchen, help do some light work, Mei Qu's complexion is much better, but the dirty work like a pot is tiring, Qiao Xian is resolutely not to do it.
Mao's mood was not only a level in an instant, but also compared to the second aunt Mei who was lazy and a scoundrel, and suddenly felt that the old daughter-in-law was the most in line with her own mind, and even with the copper strands, the nose was not the nose, the eyes were not the eyes.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Qiao Xianjue was very weird, and said that the Dragon Boat Festival was a very important solar term, and she saw that every household in the village had bought things for the festival, but if it weren't for the fact that the poor people who couldn't eat were all wrapped in fragrant dumplings and boiled red eggs, but she didn't see any noise in the Mei family, and she didn't dare to ask.
In the morning, Mao pinched a large handful of small greens from the field and assigned Qiao Xian to choose vegetables.
Qiao Xian squatted by the door of the courtyard, and beat the small green vegetables in her hand on the stone slab by the door, which was taught to her by Mao, so that she could drop the insects and ants on the vegetable leaves, and eat half of the insects and ants when she ate vegetables.
At this time, a little daughter-in-law who was familiar with Qiao Xian passed by the door of Mei's house and greeted Qiao Xian: "Meiqu daughter-in-law, just now I saw Sister Qiu and Lin Laoxiu take things to the grave to burn paper for your boss, and I will definitely come to give her grandmother a gift in less than a moment, you tell your father and mother."
Cease. ”
"Huh!" Qiao Xian responded with a smile, and then asked casually, "How are your preparations for the festival?" ”
The little daughter-in-law smiled and said, "What is there to prepare, is to buy Jiang rice from the town and come back to wrap fragrant dumplings, and the red eggs are also boiled, so I will wait for the dishes to be ready." ”
Qiao Xian looked into the courtyard, lowered his voice and complained to his little daughter-in-law: "You see that you are all properly prepared, why didn't my father and mother make any noise at all?" I don't even boil a red egg, so I'm not allowed to prepare for the festival? Eh, it's not easy for a new daughter-in-law of mine to open this mouth. ”
