Wei Chunhua is feeding the chickens in the yard. As soon as she looked up, she saw her daughter-in-law Lin Miaoxiang walking lazily into the yard, so she asked softly: "Xiaohun made a lot of trouble last night, don't you sleep more?" ”

"No, I just slept." As she spoke, Lin Miaoxiang couldn't help but yawn again. "By the way, Mom, Long Fei asked me to take Xiao Hun to Xiao Wangzhuang today, so that the 'little fairy' can take a look."

"Okay, I'll go with you later." As she spoke, Wei Chunhua put aside the basket in her hand, and reached out to wipe it on the placket.

"Good. Then I'll go to my sister-in-law's house to borrow a tricycle and come back. After speaking, Lin Miaoxiang walked out of the gate and walked straight to the east of the village.

The path in front of the house winds and turns, stretching from east to west, connecting hundreds of families in Zhangjiakeng Village. Villagers would carry a few trees in front of their homes, or mulberry trees, or elm trees, or plane trees, or willow trees. In this way, the sides of the path are lined with greenery, which is very pleasant.

There is only one exception to the door. There was nothing on the bare concrete floor, which was very eye-catching. This family is the home of Zhang Xinwei, the head of Zhangjiakeng Village. A few years ago, Zhang Xinwei's wife Jiang Chaomei had all the willow trees at the door cut down and made them into a hard cement floor. Jiang Chaomei said that her son Zhang Liuyang bought a car in Xi'an, and if he went home, there would be no place to park, so he cut down all the trees so that his son's car could be parked. But a few years have passed, but the villagers of Zhangjiakeng Village have not seen Zhang Liuyang and his car once. On the contrary, the bare concrete floor was puffed up with salt and alkali bags one after another, and gradually broke down.

Later, Jiang Chaomei gradually stopped mentioning her son. She renovated her front room a little and simply opened a small supermarket. Whenever the farm is slack, a large group of people will gather in Jiang Chaomei's supermarket to play cards and chat, noisy and shouting all day long. And Jiang Chaomei seems to like such a lively atmosphere and enjoys it.

Lin Miaoxiang could see the signboard of Jiang Chaomei's supermarket from a distance. The crooked words are very conspicuous: Damiko Supermarket. When Jiang Chaomei was born, it was a fashionable word at that time to catch up with the British Chaomei during the special period, and Jiang Chaomei's father simply used the name Chaomei, which happened to be a pair with her sister Jiang Chaoying. Jiang Chaomei also seems to be very satisfied with her name, and takes it for granted that the "beauty" in her name is not the "beauty" of the United States, but the "beauty" of beauty. The villagers also called her "Da Meizi", and Jiang Chaomei seemed to be very satisfied with this nickname, so she used her nickname to name the supermarket.

Jiang Chaomei was half-lying on the bamboo chair, her eyes slightly closed, and the fan was swaying gently, as if she was napping, as if she was thinking about something. Lin Miaoxiang stepped forward lightly and called her sister-in-law softly.

Jiang Chaomei opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw that it was Lin Miaoxiang coming, her face was immediately full of smiles. "Yo, Miaoxiang. There you are. Come, come, sit in the house. ”

The supermarket is full of dazzling small goods, and the ground has been cleaned by Jiang Chaomei, but the air is still mixed with some turbid smoke.

Lin Miaoxiang leaned over and sat down on the chair beside Jiang Chaomei. Before she could speak, Jiang Chaomei took the lead in chattering.

"Miaoxiang, you have just come out of confinement, why did you go out alone? What about your children? ”

"The child's grandmother is watching. I'm fine, I'm not that delicate. Lin Miaoxiang replied with a smile.

Jiang Chaomei shook the fan lightly, and said with an exaggerated expression: "I'll just say, Miaoxiang, you are really not simple." Really, I admire you. You said that you are so beautiful, and you married us from the county town, and you don't have Miss Jiao's temper at all. Really, I admire you. ”

Lin Miaoxiang saw Jiang Chaomei praising herself so bluntly, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She raised her hand and brushed the broken hair on her cheeks, and as soon as her heart was combined, she diverted the topic.

"That, isn't Brother Xinwei at home?"

"No. I've been there for a meeting in town, and I've been there for days. I heard him say that the county wants to carry out development in our village, and asked him to report on the situation in our village. ”

"Brother Xinwei is really busy."

"He's busy. It's been so many years, and I haven't seen him busy with gold and silver flowers. He doesn't make as much money as I make in a supermarket. ”

"That's sister-in-law, you're too powerful." Jiang Chaoying can't chat for a few words, and will inevitably mention money, Lin Miaoxiang is used to this.

Jiang Chaomei saw that Lin Miaoxiang was speaking in accordance with her own temperament, and she seemed to be interested. She sat up straight, looked at Lin Miaoxiang and said proudly: "I'll tell you, Miaoxiang, what about this person, if you want to be rich, you have to do business." Only by doing business can we make money alive and have money. ”

"Not everyone is as business-minded as you, sister-in-law." Lin Miaoxiang replied with a smile.

"Well, I can't. I'm making a little money. That's what my son calls to be business-minded. Between the words, Jiang Chaomei unconsciously pulled on his son's body.

Seeing that Jiang Chaomei was about to brag about his son again, Lin Miaoxiang hurriedly interrupted and said: "Your brother Yang is really good, I must let our family Xiaohun learn from him in the future and take him as an example." ”

Jiang Chaomei listened to it and was immediately overjoyed. She scrambled for a fan and chased away a fly. "That, Miaoxiang, how is your little Hun? How can I hear the fat man say that he has been crying in the middle of the night these days? ”

"Isn't it? Long Fei and I have been tossed by him enough in the past few days. If you cry in the middle of the night, you can't coax it? ”

"Boys, they're all like this, they all have tempers. My family Liuyang was like this when he was a child, he yelled at every turn, so that his father didn't have a temper at all. ”

"Your brother Yang has a personality, and our family is inexplicable. Yesterday I asked Long Fei to write a talisman and paste it at the entrance of the village, but it didn't work at all, and he still cried non-stop at night. ”

When Jiang Chaomei heard this, the pu fan in her hand stopped shaking. "Isn't this kid scared?"

"yes. Long Fei said the same. So I'm here to borrow your little three-wheeler from you, and I'll take Xiaohun to Xiaowangzhuang later. ”

Last year, Jiang Chaomei bought the only human-powered tricycle in Zhangjiakeng Village from the county seat. Compared with those two-wheeled bicycles, Jiang Chaomei's little three-wheeled bicycle is very stable to ride. When the people in the village have nothing to do, they will borrow her little tricycle to go out for a walk.

"Oh, you're here to borrow a little three-wheeler. Okay, the car is in the backyard, you can push it yourself. Jiang Chaomei readily agreed.

Lin Miaoxiang hurriedly thanked her and was about to get up to leave. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chaomei began to chatter again, and Lin Miaoxiang had no choice but to continue chatting with her.

"I said, Miaoxiang, your family Long Fei is really good. I know all day long that I am holding that broken book, and I don't know what to do when I flip through it. If you want me to say that you should put some pressure on him to go out and earn money. I'm telling you, this man, you can't do it if you don't put pressure on him. ”

Lin Miaoxiang smiled awkwardly. "Long Fei has been working on the construction site in the town recently, and it is quite hard. If you want to let him go into business and make money, he doesn't have that brain. ”

"You, you're still too partial to your family. If you do this, sooner or later you will spoil him. ”

Lin Miaoxiang smiled and didn't argue with her. She chatted with Jiang Chaomei for a few more words, and then reasoned that Zhang Xiaohun might be waking up at home, so she got up and pushed the red three-wheeler home.

Zhang Xiaohun had already woken up and was babbling in Wei Chunhua's arms. Wei Chunhua gently hugged him and sat on the cool bed under the old elm tree, looking blank and not saying a word.

As soon as Wei Chunhua saw Lin Miaoxiang coming over with a tricycle, she hurriedly stood up and greeted her tremblingly with a cane in one hand.

"Miaoxiang, I've got everything ready. Let's go now, don't look back and let the four girls see it, or she will be arguing to go with her. ”

Lin Miaoxiang saw Wei Chunhua holding a cane in her left hand and holding Zhang Xiaohun with her right hand, and she was about to fall out of her arms. Lin Miaoxiang hurriedly stopped the tricycle, walked a few steps to Wei Chunhua, and reached out to take Zhang Xiaohun from her arms.

Wei Chunhua originally wanted Lin Miaoxiang to sit on the tricycle with Zhang Xiaohun in her arms, and pushed the tricycle to Xiaowangzhuang by herself. Lin Miaoxiang didn't agree with anything, so she put Wei Chunhua on the tricycle, and stuffed Zhang Xiaohun into her arms and held her by her. Lin Miaoxiang knew that Wei Chunhua was kind-hearted and strict with herself. Although he is old and has difficulty moving, he is still unwilling to trouble others.

Not far from the west exit of the village, you will arrive at Liuzhuang. After about two miles of Liuzhuang, it is Xiaowangzhuang.

Xiao Wangzhuang lives up to its name, it is indeed quite small. It is the smallest of several villages at the foot of Mt. Rokuro, with only a dozen or so households in the village. But Xiaowangzhuang is the most famous one, and everyone knows it in the entire Nan'an County.

The reason why Xiaowangzhuang is famous far and wide is because of a "small" word. And this "small" is because of a person, and this person is a "little fairy".

The little fairy is not young, he is over 70 years old this year. But her face was quite small, as small as a slap's face. If you look closely, you will see that her face is very similar to that of a fox.

The little fairy's real name is Zhou Xiaocui, and when he was eighteen years old, he married Wang Chuanfu of Xiaowangzhuang from other provinces. Zhou Xiaocui was short in stature and industrious, but she gave birth to three sons for Wang Chuanfu in one go. Wang Chuanfu is wooden by nature, not good at management, and his family lives tightly. Wang Chuanfu's family's poor life finally changed when Zhou Xiaocui was fifty years old.

In the autumn of that year, Zhou Xiaocui went back to her parents' house alone. A few days later, Zhou Xiaocui returned to Xiaowangzhuang. It's just that on the night she just returned to Xiaowangzhuang, Zhou Xiaocui fell into a coma inexplicably. First, the palm-sized face became like a pig's liver, and then there was foaming at the mouth and a burst of gibberish. Where did the honest Wang Chuanfu see this formation, and he was so frightened that he sent Zhou Xiaocui to the village clinic overnight. Who knew that as soon as Zhou Xiaocui arrived at the health room, she immediately returned to normal, and it was the same as usual.

Wang Chuanfu had no choice but to carry Zhou Xiaocui back home. Who knows, as soon as Zhou Xiaocui entered the house, she shook her head and whispered again, as if she had fallen into an evil spirit. After tossing and turning like this several times, Wang Chuanfu sighed and could only go by her.
