Chapter 90: This Is Going Against the Heavens (Second Watch)
"Little girl, I said why are you so stubborn, aren't you just a cousin? It's not your man, why don't you let him have a meal with me?
I have money, if you are willing to let this fool have a meal with me, and if this fool has the money to marry his daughter-in-law, you don't have to sell frozen meat on this dock in the winter! ”
The woman did not give up, and looked like she had taken a fancy to Lu Jiu.
Xia Qiqi heard the woman shouting that Lu Jiu was a fool, she was angry, and when she opened her mouth, she said to the woman: "Get out, you are a fool, your whole family is a fool!" If you want to find someone to eat with you, go elsewhere, find an innocent man like my cousin, what does it mean? ”
Xia Qiqi's words made the woman angry.
"Stinky girl, don't be embarrassed, my mother has taken a fancy to your cousin, it is your cousin's blessing, if you dare to stop it, be careful that I beat you!" The woman scolded.
"You stinky old thing, your brain has been gnawed by zombies? Want to be a man and want to go crazy?
One more word, I will tell the whole town about the ugly thing you just said, I see if your mother-in-law will want you, an old and ugly ugly woman, to be your daughter-in-law after knowing your ugly thing! ”
Xia Qiqi is not a person who can bear things.
Lu Jiu is not stupid, she can say it, but others can't.
If anyone said it, who did she peel off!!!
"You ......" The woman didn't expect that Xia Qiqi would say those words like this, and her face changed color with anger for a while.
I also feel that I am a family woman, and on weekdays, no one pays attention, so I just look for a strong man in private.
If it is really discovered, I am afraid that the status of the family will not be able to be saved!
"You wait for me, sooner or later I will clean up your!"
"You old rascal, hurry up, don't get out, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xia Qiqi was completely fierce, and the other women who were watching the excitement on the side were startled.
They didn't dare to approach.
After just a while, Xia Qiqi's stove rose, and the fine sand in the iron pot gradually began to have temperature.
"Ah Jiu, pour sweet potatoes!"
Just like yesterday, Xia Qiqi instructed Lu Jiu to pour sweet potatoes into the iron pot.
No one needed to remind him, Lu Jiu squatted down, picked up eighteen sweet potatoes of different sizes in the basket, and threw them in.
Taking advantage of the time when the sweet potatoes were ripe, Xia Qiqi wanted to go to the town to buy some other things, such as flour, and then plum vegetables and meat.
Always making baked sweet potatoes is not a problem.
After all, it is easy for the people around you to learn if they have the heart to learn.
But if she makes prune vegetables and buckle meatloaf, if others want to learn, they must have that stove and that skill!
Xia Qiqi glanced at Lu Jiu, a little uneasy.
If he is left here alone, these women who are eyeing him may get some kind of moths.
But if she didn't prepare those things, she would earn money every day, and that's all.
When she was hesitating, Su Cuiniang came over.
She seemed to be looking for Xia Qiqi, and when she saw Xia Qiqi, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Qiqi, I can be regarded as finding you!"
"Sister Cui Niang, why are you here?" Xia Qiqi affectionately called Su Cuiniang's name, and asked, "Do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes?" ”
"I don't eat! I want to ask you if you want your cousin to go to the dock to move goods! I just heard a group of men say that this wharf can earn 20 yuan a day for moving goods, not to mention, but also for food!
Your cousin is working so hard, and the matter of moving goods is definitely not a problem! During the day, he moves goods, you do business, and the two of you earn two dollars, then your cousin's medical expenses will be saved up sooner! Su Cui Niang said.
After saying that, she looked around, "Hey, why didn't you see your cousin?" This is ......"
Su Cuiniang's gaze fell on Lu Jiu's face, and she almost couldn't take it off.
She looked at Lu Jiu blankly, and there was a touch of red on her face.
"This is my cousin!" Xia Qiqi Dao.
"Your cousin? Didn't you say he had a wound on his face and was ugly? This ......"
Su Cuiniang wanted to say, where is this ugly, it is clearly good-looking.
She'd never seen such a handsome man!
"Sister Cui Niang, you know chickenpox, right? My cousin was the one before, and it was just yesterday!
Lang Zhong didn't let the wind blow, and I wasn't embarrassed to let him uncover the face towel on his face, so I said that! Xia Qiqi explained.
Su Cuiniang expressed her understanding, "It's okay, I'm just here to ask, do you want your cousin to go to the dock to move goods!" As long as you are willing to work, you can eat better than anywhere else, two meals a day, and meat! ”
Speaking of eating, Xia Qiqi was a little moved.
With Lu Jiu's current amount of food, if there is a specific place that can relieve her pressure, she can save enough food before the snow to keep the whole family from going hungry.
It's just, is Lu Jiu willing?
Xia Qiqi glanced at Lu Jiu, he was not affected by these women who were watching because of his appearance, but maintained the same sitting posture as yesterday!
Maybe she could give it a try!
"Sister Cui Niang, let me ask my cousin! By the way, Sister Cui Niang, are you busy now? Xia Qiqi asked.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to go to town to buy something, and I don't feel like my cousin is here alone! Can you take him to your stall for a while, and I'll pick him up after I've bought something!" Xia Qiqi said.
Sweet potatoes won't be good for a while, there are so many people on the street, no one should steal her sweet potatoes.
Su Cuiniang just wanted to agree, but Lu Jiu rubbed and stood up.
He walked up to Xia Qiqi, and in a pair of beautiful eyes, two small flames rose.
looked at Xia Qiqi angrily.
"You don't want to?" Xia Qiqi asked.
Lu Jiu nodded heavily.
"But I'm not here, can you handle this, this, these ......?"
Xia Qiqi pointed to the women around him.
Lu Jiu nodded heavily.
These people, he can do it with one finger!
"That business is left to you? I'm going to do my thing? Xia Qiqi asked uneasily.
Lu Jiu still nodded!
Since this is the case, Xia Qiqi doesn't care.
"I'm leaving, you...... If the sweet potatoes are good and someone comes to buy and sell, you will sell them, and you won't forget it! Xia Qiqi said.
After saying that, she took a bamboo basket and went to the market to buy something.
As soon as Xia Qiqi left, the woman who had quarreled with Xia Qiqi before came up.
She thought that Lu Jiu was a fool, and he must be easy to coax.
"Little brother, do you want to make money?" The woman asked Lu Jiu.
The corners of Lu Jiu's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and in an instant, the woman's face suddenly turned crimson.
Lu Jiu nodded at the woman.
The woman was so excited that her heart was beating so hard that she almost jumped out of her throat.
"Good...... Good! You come with me, I ...... I'll take you! "The woman said.
Lu Jiu immediately shook his head, he pointed to the sweet potatoes in the big iron pot, and motioned for the women to buy them.
The woman hurriedly took the money from her sleeve pocket, and gave Lu Jiu a string of copper coins, and she said, "Is this enough?" ”
