One of the men smiled and said, "Eh, your boss and mother are so happy, why don't you even post a happy word here?" It's not to say that we want to make something festive, and we want us to be sticky and happy! ”

"Yes, yes!" Several other men laughed, "Sister-in-law, go and talk to your boss and daughter-in-law, please let us eat a bowl of bean curd!" ”

Sister Qiu stood by the door and glanced at it a few times, this young man was a talkative and noisy young man, and he had a lively temper, but he didn't look malicious. Before Chunxiang's daughter-in-law opened her mouth, Sister Qiu entered the house and said with a smile to Chunxiang's daughter-in-law: "Our shop will be closed for one day tomorrow, and today we only need to say a few auspicious words to bless the boss's mother, and Douhuaer will buy a bowl and give a bowl!" ”

It's not that you can't afford to give it away, at most, it's just that you have earned a little less money today, if you want the big guys to be satisfied, Jia's festive.

Chunxiang's daughter-in-law was also happy for a while, and said loudly, the atmosphere in the store was more enthusiastic, and many people outside listened to this thing and came in, to eat and buy one get one free bean curd, very many people were not in good conditions at home, and they were not in the market to buy food outside, this time they also came in with a smile, and bought two bowls with a bowl of bean curd money, and a bowl of children outside the staff, all of them ate happily, and said a few words of joy and auspiciousness, what a match made in heaven, early birth of a child or something, congratulations to the boss and his mother.

Jia Shi listened in the back kitchen, blushing and smiling and shaking his head, "This kid is all nonsense!" "It is a child's filial piety, Jia's heart is as sweet as eating honey.

Sister Qiu stood by the door and looked at the room with a smile, the crowd was boiling, people were scrambling to speak auspicious words, at this moment, the voice of a woman behind her came, "Where is your boss and mother?" ”

The woman in front of her face is not yet 30 years old, wearing a very bright, emerald oil blue silk gown tightly wrapped around the delicate upper body, a lake oil blue silk skirt on the lower body, the sleeves on the raised palms and arms have slipped down a lot, showing a white greasy arm, with a gold bracelet on the arm, and a gold ring on the ear, and a gold chuan embedded with Hu beads on the left and right sides of the hair, the face is white, the cheekbones are a little high, the eyebrows are thin, and Sister Qiu walked a few steps closer, You can also smell a slight smell of fat powder on your body.

"I'm looking for your boss's mother-in-law! You go and call her out. The woman spoke again, fanning her hands in the wind, and her eyes were spinning around, and she looked at the shop, and pouted at the lively and festive appearance of the shop.

It was precisely because the woman took a few steps closer that Sister Qiu not only smelled a little strong smell of fat powder on her body, but also keenly saw that the sleeves of the woman's silk gown had been peeled off, and the silk clothes would only be sharpened and fluffed when they were worn for a long time.

Obviously, this woman doesn't look like a "good family woman", and she doesn't want to report herself, how can Sister Qiu ask Jia to come out to see her, so she smiled and said, "Our boss's son and mother are not here today." ”

The woman obviously didn't believe Sister Qiu's words, so she went straight to the store and said, "She's behind, I'll go."

Look for her! ”

"Huh! Hold it! Sister Qiu frowned and stopped the woman, and said, "I am the boss's mother-in-law, what do you have to tell me." ”

The woman covered her mouth and smiled, glanced at Sister Qiu up and down, and said with a smile: "Are you the boss's mother?" Xiao Nizi, it's not good to be blind! ”

Sister Qiu also smiled, "I'm not good, you go to someone's house without the permission of the master's family, is it even worse?" It's just, believe it or not, this store is really mine, you don't believe them. Sister Qiu pointed to the helper's Furong and made up her mind that if this woman broke in, she would ask someone to throw this woman out.

"Oh...... It's you! The woman looked suddenly thoughtful, nodded her head clearly, scanned Sister Qiu from top to bottom with sharp eyes, and said, "I know, you are the daughter of the boss's mother, what about your mother?" ”

"Tell me where you are, and if you don't, go back." Sister Qiu shook her head and said.

The woman laughed, looked at the direction of the courtyard, and said, "I am a good friend of your mother's idea, and you will know when you call your mother out, and you will know when you see me." ”

"Auntie, I told me that my mother is not here, it is useless for you to ask again, please ask your surname, when my mother comes back, I want my mother to look for you." Sister Qiu said with a smile.

The woman didn't pay attention to Sister Qiu, standing in the middle of the room and shaking the silk handkerchief to look left and right, and she was wearing a tight body with grease and powder, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a good woman, and all the farmers in the room squinted at her and looked at her, which made her very dissatisfied, and she couldn't see Jia's again, so she stomped her feet angrily and turned her head and twisted her waist and walked.

When the people left, Chunxiang's daughter-in-law came over and asked, "Lady, where is that woman?" Looks like a rich wife! ”

"Is there any money?" Sister Qiu laughed, it is indeed quite bluffing at first glance, the clothes are good, but it seems to have been worn for many years, and she has not been washed. And Sister Qiu, the person Jia knows, knows all in her heart, and this woman is definitely not in Jia's knowledge.

If you come to give a congratulatory gift...... It's not like that, the palms are empty, and the attitude is not like that.

When it was almost noon, there were fewer people in the store, and Sister Qiu went to the small kitchen to tell Jia about it, and Jia also felt weird, stood there and thought for a long time, shook his head, "I don't recognize it...... Where do I know anyone who can wear so much gold jewelry! ”

"If you want to say that when we were ladies, there were also a few good ......" Aunt Chunhua said with a smile while rubbing her face, "It's just that it's not them, the husband's and mother's families are all poor villagers, who wears so much gold jewelry!" ”

"Leave her alone." Sister Qiu said that tomorrow will be a good life for the Jia family, and she can't take care of an inexplicable woman, "If you really have something, you will definitely come again." ”

In the afternoon, Jia took Sister Qiu to Yan Yuanwai's house, and Yan Yuanwai happened to help the invited cook at home to make a rice stove with mud. Weddings in the countryside are all in their own homes, and there are chefs who specially cook wedding banquets for people, even bowls

All children's dishes can be provided, and you don't have to be the master of the family.

Yan Yuan's robe was rolled up and tucked into the belt, his sleeves were rolled up, and his palms were covered with wet yellow mud. When Jia Shi and Sister Qiu came in, Yan Yuanwai was squatting on the ground and pouting his cheeks to paste mud on the bricks that had already been built, and Xiao Xu was watching intently from the side.

"Eh, here?! It's almost ready. Yan Yuanwai saw Jia's family, stood up quite uneasily, stretched out his palm to wipe the sweat on his face, but forgot that there was still mud sticking to his palm, and he made a lot of it on his face.

Sister Qiu and Xiao Xu laughed in unison, and Yan Yuanwai looked at his own palms, and smiled embarrassedly. Jia Shi glanced at Sister Qiu and Xiao Xu, took out a piece of silk handkerchief from his arms and gave it to Yan Yuanwai, lowered his head and went to the side to watch the chef prepare the wedding banquet, Yan Yuanwai looked at the clean silk handkerchief in his hand, bent his lips and smiled, and wiped his face.

The rice stove for the wedding banquet was placed in the northeast corner of the courtyard, and a large steamer higher than Sister Zhiqiu was placed underground, and the noodles for making dry food were already alive, and they were placed in a large noodle urn, ready to be sent overnight, and the dry food for steamed noodles tomorrow was placed. The grass pork used for the wedding feast is cut from the freshly slaughtered grass pig, and is salted in a large wooden basin, and the chickens and river fish are also cleaned and put in the basin for later use.

After the stove was built, the cook and a few helpers set up a large iron pot, poured oil on it, and began to fry croquettes. The meatballs are mashed minced meat and noodles, and the aroma wafts far away. When the first pot of meatballs was fried, the chef fished them out with a big iron spoon, and Jia Shi went to the small kitchen to get the dishes, sandwiched a large porcelain bowl, handed it to Sister Qiu, and said with a smile: "You two taste it first." ”

Sister Qiu first put a ball into Xiao Xu's mouth, and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?" ”

The balls were still a little hot, Xiao Xu bit the balls with his teeth, kept fanning the wind in his mouth, and swallowed the balls in a few bites very quickly, and said with a smile: "It's delicious!" ”

Sister Qiu also put one in her mouth, the meatballs have good elasticity, and they are fried very hot, but they are a little salty, and they are estimated to be used to make meatball soup.

Xiao Xu couldn't stop pinching the balls and eating, raised his head and a small mouth was oily, and asked with a smile: "Sister, are we going to live together?" ”

Sister Qiu pinched his ears and said with a smile: "Yes, my pavilion is all cleaned up." Okay, don't eat it, you have to eat it all by yourself, can you still eat at night! "Where can a child eat so many fried meatballs, if they have a stomach, it will not be good.

Xiao Xu reluctantly put down a ball that was still holding in his hand, stretched out his palm and wiped his mouth, looked at Jia Shi and Yan Yuanwai who were discussing tomorrow's marriage in the distance, and whispered to Sister Qiu: "One of my classmates said that if you have a stepmother, you will have to live a hard life, and if you have a stepfather, you will also have a hard life. ”

Sister Qiu laughed and whispered: "Then you have a stepmother, and I also have a stepfather, we are both living a hard life, what can we do?" ”

"yes, how?" Xiao Xu said with a smile, Aunt Li is a good person, so she won't want him to live a hard life!

Sister Qiu took out the silk handkerchief and wiped the oil on Xiao Xu's mouth

, put Xiao Xu's head into his arms, and said with a smile: "Then our hard-working sisters and brothers can only rely on each other for their lives!" ”

In the distance, Jia stood two feet away from Yan Yuan, lowered his head and asked with a red face: "Have you tried on Xiao Xu's clothes, do they still fit?" If it doesn't fit, I'll change it again. ”

"It fits, the child's clothes are not so much, they are bigger, and they can be worn in a few years." Yan Yuanwai preached.

Jia Shi nodded and asked again, "Tomorrow...... Ready to go? ”

"It's ready, we don't invite many people, and there is nothing to prepare." Yan Yuanwai rubbed the mud on his palm, "You don't have to worry about anything, just wait for me to come and pick you up tomorrow." ”
