Sister Qiu smiled, and suddenly thought of the lame middle-aged man in Fangcai, and asked, "Is there a lame handyman in your academy?" ”

Zhang Ruoxu shook his head, smiled apologetically, and said, "I just came, and I only recognize the Ling Commander of our class." ”

"Oh." Sister Qiu nodded a little disappointed, and wanted to take care of her cousin more through this person!

After eating, Zhang Ruoxu went back to the academy to read the book. Zhang Yuxiu and Sister Qiu left the rest of the dishes to their aunt, and went to Jia's place, and met Anzi standing in front of the stall with a bowl and eating bean curd.

"Brother Cheng, you're here!" Sister Qiu shouted happily.

Anzi nodded, quickly pulled the bowl of bean curd clean, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "It's still delicious!" Aunt Xie left me two bowls, I'll go over there to patrol the streets first! After speaking, he gestured to Sister Qiu, took a bowl of bean curd, turned his head and left in a hurry.

Sister Qiu laughed, if you pour two cups of spicy red oil, it will be even more delicious. She really wants to use hibiscus powder to fry red oil, pouring it on the bean curd must be more popular, it is a pity that the hibiscus powder is too expensive, if it is used on this, I am afraid that the cost of the bean curd will be raised too much, so you can only do it, those Xu hibiscus powder can only be left to cook and eat.

"Anzi came in the morning, he was very busy, he didn't care about eating, he asked me to leave two bowls for him, and he didn't come over until noon, and that bowl was probably brought to Lord Yan." Jia Shi said with a smile, "We ordinary people all feel that being an official is idle, but I didn't expect that people are also very busy!" ”

"Lord Yan is a good official!" Mama Ning on the side preached interestingly, and took the opportunity to ask: "Why have you only been here for a few days, and you have become familiar with Brother Liang?" ”

This is a little sour, like a company's fellow thing, he joined the company before you, older than you, I feel that you are a newcomer who needs him to pick up and promote, but you suddenly realize that you are more happy than him...... In this kind of situation, it is difficult to think of not being sour.

Jia Shi smiled and sleekly back, "Brother Liang has eaten bean curd once, and he likes it, he is good, he doesn't put up a fight with our people, he will be familiar after coming and going, which is also the blessing of our mother." ”

Sister Qiu looked at it with a smile, Jia's growth was really fast, her speech was much neater than before, and she was also cool and generous, but her temper was still gentle and amiable, and she didn't rely on her idea to develop in a vulgar direction.

At the end of the stall at noon, Jia Shi first picked up the empty burden to Li Changjiao, it was close to the Dragon Boat Festival, and he wanted to buy things for the festival.

The people rushing to the market on the street have already left, and Jia Shi took Sister Qiu to find the grain store where she bought fine noodles before, this grain store Sister Qiu asked at first, it is not the Rong family's industry, so Sister Qiu can buy it at their house with peace of mind.

Jia's first asked for 50 catties of fine noodles, and then asked for 10 catties of worm rice, and the store also sold oily green dumpling leaves wrapped in fragrant dumplings, and Jia's also bought a bunch of them.

Out of the grain store, Jia Shi raised his forehead and said with a smile: "It's me who is confused, I should buy other things first." "It's quite heavy to carry 50 pounds of fine noodles.

"Might as well be a thing

。 Li Ailian said with a smile, "I just carry it, and it doesn't weigh much." ”

A few people were talking on the street, when they heard the voice of a man behind them, and asked hesitantly, "Are you ...... Sister-in-law Mei? ”

Jia Shi turned his face and looked at the fat black man wearing oil blue satin clothes behind him, and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't recognize where this person was, and only asked with a smile: "Are you ......" The man laughed, and the fat on his face was all piled together, "Sister-in-law Mei, it's me, Rong Deyi!" ”

Raising his palm and brushing his hair, Jia nodded and said, "It's Brother Shan." "Nothing else.

Sister Qiu was also observing Rong Deyi, Rong Deyi was not tall, only slightly taller than Jia's, round figure, big belly, the satin robe was tight, and the flesh on his face was squeezed together when he laughed, and the originally small eyes were squeezed even smaller, and three yellow rings were worn on his fat fingers, one of which was embedded with a large piece of oil green jade. Sister Qiu couldn't tell if it was gold, but with Rong Deyi's net worth, she would definitely not wear a fake ring.

Jia's attitude was cold, and Rong Deyi didn't care, he still had a smile on his face, glanced at Zhang Yuxiu and Sister Qiu, and his eyes locked on Sister Qiu.

Got on the right track from the business, and after having some spare money in his hand, Jia made a few clothes for Sister Qiu, how could he not want to compromise his daughter, although all of them were ordinary floral cotton cloth, but Sister Qiu's eyebrows were clean and thoughtful, and she was stable and tight, and the 10-year-old beautiful little lady stood there, and it was difficult for people not to pay attention to it.

"Yo, this is Sister Qiu's girl, right? Don't you remember? I'm your uncle, I hugged you when you were a child! Rong Deyi bent down affectionately, leaned over, and greeted Sister Qiu.

Sister Qiu took half a step back, simply ignored him, and pretended not to listen.

Rong Deyi laughed and said to Jia's family: "Look at this child, it hurts a lot!" Smack, the corners of those eyebrows are no different from my old Xiucai brother! Good for long! Eh, sister-in-law Mei, last time you took Sister Qiu to your home, it's really unfortunate, I and my children and his mother are not at home. Later, when I got home and heard about it, I scolded the person in charge, and sister-in-law Mei is also something they can neglect? Even if I'm outside, I'm in a hurry to find someone to call me back! ”

Jia Shi smiled lightly, the last time he went back to his house, they knew each other, Rong Deyi is a person who talks about people and talks nonsense, he is sleek and sophisticated, everything can be taken out and rounded up, but Jia is different, and then do a lifetime of trading, Jia can't change the essence of honesty and kindness.

Leaning on the situation, Rong Deyi said all this, and gave Jia Shi the step down, Jia Shi should also smile and say a few words that are not coincidental, even if this matter is over, it is only that Jia Shi really responded to Rong Deyi's previous attitude towards them, only smiled reluctantly, and said: "Grandpa Rong is a big deal, you are busy." ”

"What a big deal, you can barely support your family! I don't have a sister-in-law's Douhuaer to make money! Rong Deyi laughed, and when he saw the rice grain in the hands of several people, Rong Deyi patted his legs

The hand said: "We have rice and grain to sell in our own store, why does my sister-in-law go to the outsider's store to buy it?" Then he patted his chest and said, "If my sister-in-law wants to buy rice and noodles, go to my shop to get it!" Our own family doesn't take money. ”

Sister Qiu hid behind Jia's for a while, Rong Deyi had always looked at her, and her scrutinizing gaze made her very unhappy. This Rong Deyi is better than all the songs he sings, the previous life and this life are combined, she hates people like Rong Deyi, and she is intimate in person as if she is a brother, but in fact, it is very fake, compared to it, the Mao family who is all written on the face is much cuter.

"Mother, it's getting late." Sister Qiu tugged at Jia's shirt and said softly, "Uncle Dad is still waiting for us!" ”

Jia nodded hurriedly and said to Rong Deyi: "Grandpa Rong, we still have something to do, so let's go first." After speaking, he took a few people to lift their feet and left, without looking back.

Rong Deyi touched the short mustache trimmed on his chin, looked at the backs of the Jia family and the others, the smile on his fat face was withdrawn, and his eyeballs wandered for a long time, and it took a while to turn his head and walk slowly towards his own store.

Before the separation, Rong Deyi was almost her only expectation to save her daughter, but the cold reception and humiliation she received at Rong Deyi's house also reminded her that this person was not credible.

"That's ...... Is that Rong Deyi? Li Ailian asked.

Jia Shi nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "It's him, I haven't seen him in the past few years, and I can't recognize him at all!" ”

Li Ailian's face had a contemptuous look on her face, "Why are you embarrassed to come and speak!" No one paid attention to him, and he was quite happy to talk to himself! ”

Sister Qiu laughed and said intently: "Auntie, you don't understand this, Grandpa Rong is a big deal, if you are embarrassed, the deal will not be!" ”

Zhang Yuxiu couldn't bear it first, and laughed, Jia slapped Sister Qiu's palm, and said with a little stern: "On the street, what is the little lady's nonsense!" You learn from your sister Yuxiu, when people are all quiet and quiet, not like you are a crazy girl! ”

Li Ailian was not happy, hugged Sister Qiu and said with a smile: "Crazy Nizi is as good as Crazy Nizi, I think Sister Qiu is very good like this, and she is not oppressed by anyone wherever she goes!" I still think Yuxiu is not as active as Sister Qiu! ”

Zhang Yuxiu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Mother, you know Sister Painqiu!" Forget it, forget it, Sister Xianghou Qiu is your daughter, I think my aunt is my mother! ”

"Go ahead!" Li Ailian smiled and shook her hand.

Jia Shi pulled Yuxiu for a while, looked at Li Ailian, and said with a smile: "If you want to give up, you will change it!" ”

A group of people walked to Li Changjiao's shop while talking and laughing, and after arriving at Li Changjiao, they told Li Changjiao a few words about what had just happened, Li Ailian shook her head and said: "The little sister who lost is a good person, if the person next to him has to scold him for a dog blood spray." ”

"Stretch out your palms and don't hit smiling people." Jia sighed, "We don't have anything to do with him backwards, and we can't tear our faces." She also wanted to scold Rong Deyi for being ungrateful, wolf-hearted, and scolding

You can only have a good mouth, Rong Deyi is like that, is he afraid of being scolded? Besides, they are now separated from the Mei family, and they have a good life, a bright future, and they are very promising.

After leaving the rice and grain bought at Li Changjiao's house, Jia led Sister Qiu and them to the sewing shop, bought a few rolls of thin silk thread, and prepared to come back to wrap the colorful thread. I also went to the tailor shop to buy a few small pieces of red satin cloth, and bought herbs and spices at the pharmacy, and prepared to sew a few sachets.

"This is the first Dragon Boat Festival after our separation, and it is a good birth!" Jia Shi said with a smile, she had plenty of money, so she thought about giving birth, and she didn't plan to save this copper plate.

Sister Qiu is also quite happy, in Sister Mei Qiu's vague memories, the Mei family has never had a decent Dragon Boat Festival at all, after Mei Qu comes back, Mao's will make very few fragrant dumplings, cut meat and fry a few meat dishes, but it is a fragrant dumpling Sister Qiu can only share one with Jia's, and she doesn't have to think about all meat dishes.

The location of Huyang is northern, and it does not produce rice, and the japonica rice from the south is transported here, which is more expensive than the fine noodles, and ordinary people rarely eat japonica rice.

After buying things, it was already past the lunch meal, Li Changjiao said that he didn't want a few people to leave like this, and asked Tian to go to steam the fine noodles and pancakes, and heated the water tofu dishes left over from Sister Qiu's lunch, and a few people made do with a meal, and then hurriedly carried the burden back.

"Eat a few pancakes from her at noon, look at her like that, like ripping her flesh! My aunt divided half of the worm rice with her, which is enough for these fine noodles! She's still a loser! "On the other, Zhang Yuxiu bit her ears with Sister Qiu.

Sister Qiu listened with a smile and whispered, "You shouldn't look at the inconvenience!" It's not easy to want her to be unhappy, just eat two more pancakes! "Eh, my cousin is carrying it with my aunt.

Zhang Yuxiu covered her mouth and smiled, "I was full after eating a pancake, and I stuffed a pancake again." ”

Not long after a few people arrived home, Qiu Gui'er came to knock on the door, and the beans soaked in the middle of the night after coming.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Jia asked Qiu Gui'er, "How did you plan it?" ”

Qiu Gui'er lowered her head and pushed the grinding plate vigorously, and only after a long time did she speak: "If you don't go back, you will make such a fuss, and you will lose such a big person, my mother-in-law may not be angry with me in her heart, and she will not be able to go back." I married into his family for many years, the worst food, the worst clothes, the most work, I can't stand everyone is right about my husband's family. ”

"Then is there anyone from your mother's house, what do you say about this?" Jia asked.

Qiu Gui'er wiped her face and said, "My mother's family knows, and I came here once in the morning." My father and mother meant that the daughter who married out spilled the water, and did not return to her mother's house, and asked me to admit my mistake to my aunt and go back to live, my brother and sister-in-law were painful to me, saying that if my heart was not happy, I would go home to live for a few days, and scolded my father, I couldn't go back to my mother's house, and I didn't plan to go back, I didn't have the face to go back, and after grinding the beans, I went to build a shack in the field. ”

Jia Shi shook her head and sighed, she was really a stubborn little daughter-in-law, but she also vaguely admired Qiu Gui'er in her heart, if she had Qiu Gui'er's courage and heart, Sister Qiu would not have suffered such a big grievance.

"If you want me to say, you don't want to mention any shacks, if you don't hate it, for the time being, you can spread it in the sister-in-law's hall, and it's convenient to do work, and you can call the children over at any time if you want to see the two children." Jia preached.

Qiu Gui'er stood up and wanted to kowtow to Jia's with gratitude, but Jia quickly blocked it, looking at Qiu Gui'er's swollen eyes crying, Jia sighed: "We are all hard-working people, if we don't help each other, how can we live!" ”

After Qiu Gui'er finished grinding the beans, she said that she would go back and talk to Chunhua, she would live here tonight, and Sister Qiu went to open the door for her, and she saw a man squatting by their door, which scared Sister Qiu.

The man was startled by the sound of opening the door for Sister Qiu, raised his eyes and glanced at Sister Qiu, then caught a glimpse of Qiu Gui'er on the side, immediately stood up, and said to Qiu Gui'er: "Qiu Gui'er, don't be angry, it's me who kisses my mother, you ...... Can't you forgive me? Only then did Sister Qiu see that he was Qiu Gui'er's husband Jun Darong, standing by the door of his house at the moment, his face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was both guilty and painful.
