Chapter 82: Cheeky
The more Zhang Er's family gathered together, the more they thought about it, the more they felt breathless, their family had never suffered such a big loss in the village for many years.
Second Uncle Zhang gritted his back molars with hatred, and when he was searching his intestines and scraping his stomach and thinking of ideas, he heard someone shouting in the yard, "Everyone has something to say, Pucao, Pucao, where are you?" ”
It turned out that Chen Da and Chen Er, who had just been sent out to make money by the Chen family this morning, were in a good mood. Uncle Chen pulled his eldest grandson, who had just returned home, to turn over the planks and prepare to make a good climbing plow, while Aunt Chen and her eldest daughter-in-law cut new padded jackets together. The family was busy with joy, and suddenly heard Peach Blossom running for help, and after careful questioning, they learned that Uncle Zhang's family had come to make trouble again.
If the Chen family would never have been in this troubled water before, but now Pucao is as close to their family as their own daughter in their hearts, and whoever dares to touch her is like bullying their Chen family.
Aunt Chen pulled her eldest daughter-in-law and ran out, and Uncle Chen also threw the wooden board and chased after her angrily.
The family ran into the yard in a hurry, and just as they met Chunni, who had been delayed because of a fall, the two parties converged in one place, and before they could say a word, they pushed the door and broke in.
As a result, the situation in the house was much more than they expected. Zhang Er's family, who should have been arrogant and proud, were actually as well-behaved as newborn lambs, but Pucao sat on the main seat well.
They naturally didn't know that this was the result of Zhang Guier's rare madness, but they just felt that Pucao was not bullied. Pu Cao saw that the few of them looked relieved, her heart was moved and warm, and she got up with a smile and stepped forward, "Uncle and aunt and sister-in-law, why are you all here?" ”
Uncle Chen glanced at Zhang Er's family, his face was very bad, and he said in a deep voice, "I heard that someone came to the door to make trouble again, so I came over to see who took the words of the village elders and Li Zheng as a deaf ear." When the time comes, I'll find Li Zheng to call the shots, and I'll give you a testimony. ”
Aunt Chen also took Pu Cao's hand and carefully looked at her body, which did not look like an injury, and then she reassuredly agreed, "No, you girl is good-tempered!" It's important to take care of yourself more in the future, but don't care if the cats and dogs are relatives, some relatives are not as good as ordinary villagers. ”
"That's it, the door will be closed tightly in the future, and no one will open it, and you will be angry in vain." Sister-in-law Chen was also comforted.
Uncle Chen looked at Zhang Er's family with resentment and dissatisfaction on his face, thinking that they must have hated their own family together. The old man was rarely decisive, turned his head and shouted to the eldest grandson who followed, "Dali, go and invite Li Zheng and the elders to come over, and I said that someone didn't take their words seriously, and came to bully you Aunt Pucao again." ”
Dali's child has completely inherited his father's temper and is usually silent, but this does not mean that he is stupid and ungrateful.
A few days ago, he was pushing carts in and out of the kiln factory every day, loading and unloading pottery embryos, and almost all the skin and flesh of his body were roasted like cracked fields, so hard that he often secretly shed tears at night.
It was already a time of despair and numbness, and he felt that he had to stay up like this for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect the second uncle and aunt to suddenly pick him up and go home.
When I heard my mother talk about it, it was Aunt Pucao, who didn't talk much on weekdays, who helped him a lot, so that he didn't have to work hard, could spend the winter at home, and even had a good job to learn the craft, and he was so grateful that he couldn't kowtow and thank him.
Therefore, at this time, when I heard that my grandfather was going to invite Li Zheng to call the shots for my aunt, he was like having wings under his ribs, and he ran away without a shadow in a few steps.
Zhang Er was extremely scared of Li Zheng and the others, and opened his mouth to block loudly, "Come back!" Come back! You little rabbit, this is our Zhang family..."
When Uncle Chen heard that his favorite eldest grandson was scolded, he immediately glared at him and said angrily, "Second Zhang, who are you scolding for being a little rabbit cub?" ”
Zhang Lao Er was also anxious for a while, and he regretted scolding him out, seeing that the eyes of several people in the Chen family could tear a piece of meat off his body, he laughed twice and reluctantly said, "Slip of the tongue, what a slip of the tongue!" ”
Uncle Chen snorted, turned his head to see Pucao on the side, and whispered, "Girl, don't worry! It's good to let Li Zheng and the elders come to take a look, so that their family will always be entangled. ”
Pu Cao led the two of them to sit on the chair on the right-hand side, then turned around and swept to the fat shopkeeper three sitting opposite, and said with a smile, "I also want to invite the elders to come here, not to mention the second uncle, even the three guests should know about what the three guests did." ”
Everyone in the Chen family was puzzled when they heard this, and when they looked at her, they suddenly found that there were three living people in this room. Just now they just ran crazy to protect the grass, where did they think that there were outsiders, it was rude.
Uncle Chen couldn't help but complain, "You girl, why didn't you say it earlier if there were guests." The old man said that he was about to get up to salute, but he didn't want to be stopped by Pucao, and said with a smile, "Uncle just sit and drink tea, and I will greet the guests." ”
The fat shopkeeper's little abacus in his heart is also crackling at this time, he has been in the restaurant all the year round, and he has seen a lot of people of all kinds, and his natural vision is also extremely vicious.
Originally, he thought that this little daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was a poor worm who was bullied and oppressed by unscrupulous relatives, but he didn't expect that this ordinary-looking little woman would suppress Zhang Er's family as soon as she entered the door, and even provoked the uncle to rebel against the elders, which is enough to see that she is definitely not an ordinary peasant fool, and her mind may be three points better than that of men.
Today, it may be difficult for them to take advantage of the business when they come to talk about the deal, no, it should be said that they have fallen behind in the first place, because the person they have found is the biggest mistake.
Thinking like this, the fat shopkeeper's brows furrowed, and he glared fiercely at Yang Jiu, who was weak in his heart. But when he got up and looked at Pu Cao again, his face was full of smiles, and he bowed and said, "This is the sister-in-law of the Zhang family, and the old man is the shopkeeper of the rich restaurant in Cuiluan City." There are many disturbances when I take the liberty to come to the door today, and I hope that my sister-in-law will not be surprised. ”
Pu Cao has been dealing with Zhang Er's family for a while, but the corner of his eye has never left these three strangers. Needless to say, the arrogance and contempt on their faces at all times, just by looking at the clothes on their bodies, you can guess that they are from the city. And their Zhang family is poor, and they can attract such a character, except for the greens in the shed, they don't think about it.
Therefore, when she heard that the fat shopkeeper reported that she was a rich restaurant, she was not surprised, and got up and returned the salute. was just about to pour tea for the guests, but Chunni, who had been standing next to her, snatched the teapot in her hand and said with a smile, "Boss, you sit!" Such a small thing, I'll just come. ”
Pu Cao usually treats Chunni and his wife as the same family, but Chunni and Liu Housheng watched her grow from scratch and miraculously toss the Zhang family into prosperity, and the admiration in her heart is like a surging river and sea. When the couple got a huge "salary" every time they sold vegetables, they discussed treating her as the owner.
It's okay to get along with each other on weekdays, but with guests from the city present today, how could Chunni let Pucao do such a dishonorable thing as serving tea?
Of course, Pu Cao also guessed her intentions, and naturally disagreed with it in her heart, but it was not easy to talk about it in public, so she turned around and sat on the main seat.
She was just about to open her mouth to hear a few words, and Zhang Er's family, who didn't want to stand in the corner of the house, finally reacted at this time, there are still major events related to making a fortune today, why did they forget about it because of a momentary anger.
Second Uncle Zhang pinched the arm of the dog leftover, secretly annoyed by this unpromising son, if he hadn't been beaten and cried and ran back to complain, would he have annoyed Pucao again before he could do anything.
The dog's arm was pumped a few times by the grass before, although there was a cotton jacket to offset some of the strength, but it was also red, swollen and painful, so suddenly pinched by his father, where could he bear it, and he screamed out with a "whoop".
Everyone turned their heads to look at their family in fright, and Zhang Er took the opportunity to walk to the last seat and sit down with a face thicker than the city wall, and said with a smile, "Oh, you see my memory, I actually forgot this big happy event for a little thing!"
Pu Cao, no matter how you misunderstand the kindness of the second uncle on weekdays, you really want to thank the second uncle for this matter today. This shopkeeper Sun is the most famous shopkeeper of the big restaurant in the city, and I specially invited him to buy the vegetables you planted. The Fugui Restaurant is generous, and there must be more money to do business with them. ”
Shopkeeper Sun secretly scolded this Zhang Er in his heart for not being able to speak, what is called being generous, and he really thinks that their rich building is a fool who scatters gold all over the sky.
But he still smiled and nodded in response, "Second Uncle Zhang is right, our host is the most generous. In the past few days, I happened to hear that the sister-in-law of the Zhang family planted vegetables here, and our owner was very curious and sent an old man to visit. If the vegetables are really planted well, we are willing to buy them at a high price. I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will really have a lot of money in the future. ”
Zhang Ershu was afraid that the fat shopkeeper would forget his matchmaking credit, so he hurriedly answered, "No, I have also heard that the name of Fuguilou has been raised, so I immediately invited him to come over as soon as I saw the shopkeeper Sun." Pucao, you don't know what to do, it's hard to grow vegetables, and it's a good thing to have more inputs. ”
Pu Cao sneered in his heart, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then said lightly, "Thank you for the attention of Shopkeeper Sun and your family, we have indeed planted a shed of vegetables at home, and the growth is good, which is enough to supply the needs of a restaurant throughout the winter." ”
A flash of joy flashed in the eyes of the shopkeeper Sun, and his right hand unconsciously turned the golden hoop ring on his left hand, and praised him, "Little sister-in-law is really good!" I don't know if the sister-in-law can lead the old man to the vegetable shed to have a look, and the price is set for inspection, which is the rule. It's best to cut a few baskets to take back today, and our host will be happy to see it, and maybe there will be an extra reward. ”
When Gou Yu'er heard this, he didn't care about the severe pain in his body, and immediately rushed out and shouted, "I know where the greenhouse is, I'll lead the way for the shopkeeper!" ”
Shopkeeper Sun smiled proudly on his face, and secretly said in his heart, it is really something that no silver can do in the world, this little woman looks tough, isn't she still softened by the silver immediately?
He slowly straightened his sleeves and was about to get up, but he didn't want Pucao to slap a tea bowl on the table, and scolded in a deep voice, "What, are you born with a dog leftover?" Whose territory is this, and who is in charge? ”
Gou Yu'er was so frightened that she immediately took two steps back and whispered, "I'm also kind enough to run errands for my sister-in-law, why is my sister-in-law annoyed again?" ”
