Chapter 34 Chai Nineteen Gifts
Although Huang is nearly ninety years old, his teeth are good, so he tasted it, and the taste was fragrant, salty and moderate, and he liked it very much, and he was busy urging Zeng Budo and Liu Niang and Ba Niang to sit down: "Let's sit down and eat together." ”
Aunt Huang was waiting on the side, and the family ate a few bites, and Huang was full of praise for the Pingqiao tofu, which was fresh and tender, with coriander, and fragrant, which suited her appetite very much. After eating, Banniang took mouthwash, and while waiting for the old grandmother to rinse her mouth, she smiled and said: "These dishes are usually very good, and they are not difficult to make, and the food is usually cheap. ”
The old lady rinsed her mouth, because of the appetizing food, she was in a good mood, and only smiled: "You should learn, your sixth sister should also get married in the past two years, and she has good cooking skills when she looks back, even if she goes to her mother-in-law's house, she will not be underestimated. ”
Because of her own family affairs, Liuniang blushed and said angrily: "Grandmother praises the little eight, why bother to catch up with my granddaughter?" has served my grandmother for many years, but it is better for Xiaoba to have a good meal, and my grandmother is very eccentric. ”
On weekdays, the grandparents and grandchildren are actually quite lonely, Liuniang's personality is atmospheric, and she doesn't often do the posture of the little daughter, today because of a coquettish and foolish little eight, even Liuniang is selling Jiao, the old lady Huang is in a happy mood, and said with a smile: "Impartial, you few, grandmother likes it the same." ”
There was no doubt that a pair of daughters worked hard to make the old mother happy, so she naturally followed suit: "Mother, ask Xiaoba to rub your shoulders for a while, this child has gone to school from school, and he usually rubs his son every day, but it is very comfortable." ”
Banniang said: "Grandmother, you should be active after eating, you have eaten more today, if you don't move, it will be uncomfortable to accumulate food, but the sun is in full bloom outside, and it is inconvenient to go out, so let your granddaughter give you a soothing muscle, which is also good." ”
Someone served, the old lady Huang had no objection, he was happy to call Zeng Budo to help him on the couch, Zeng Budo while talking with him, Banniang rubbed her shoulders and pinched her back, but it was also very comfortable, from time to time Huang was sleepy, and slowly fell asleep, Zeng Budo went to the study and called Lao Huang over: "Huang An, you go and send these posts one by one." ”
Lao Huang used to follow Zeng Budoubt, and he also knew a few words, and after reading the cover, he knew who to send it to, so he should go down.
Banniang went back to Liuniang's house to see Liuniang doing needlework, embroidered with a beautiful purse: "Sixth sister, who is this purse for?" ”
Liuniang said with a smile: "The work in the embroidery shop I took a few days ago has not been finished yet, and the other people are in a hurry to ask for these days, you can read or sleep for a while, you don't have to accompany me." ”
The life of the ancients was boring, the Zeng family was a scholarly family, and there were books to read, those who didn't have books to read, how to pass the long days?
Banniang sighed, it was too late to get up in the morning, although it was only May at this time, I occasionally heard cicadas chirping, and there were unknown birds singing in a low voice on the eaves, which was very pleasant, where to sleep. So he gossiped with Liuniang, asked how long this purse Qiao embroidered, before it could be embroidered, and asked how much it could be sold, and then asked what the sixth sister usually does, there are a few interesting places in Linchuan City.
Liuniang didn't think she was deaf, and replied with a light smile: "This purse, the material and the embroidered color thread are all provided in the shop, I just spend a lot of work, so one is only fifty or sixty dollars, I do a lot of embroidery, and the needlework is fast, and I can embroider one or two a day." On weekdays, I accompany my grandmother, only nest at home, and occasionally go to the homes of acquaintances with my grandmother, but very rarely, my grandmother is old, although she looks quite energetic, but she doesn't dare to work more on her old man. As for the place to play, I really haven't been there, I heard that there are some, not far from our home Baolong Temple, incense is flourishing, if you are idle one day, I will take you around, as for the outside of the city, there is a mountain scenery not far from the south of the city, but it is much worse than the military mountain near our Nanfeng, if you want to go, the fourth brother and the fifth brother have to come back on leave, and ask them to take you to play. ”
Baolong Temple, Mrs. Song was on the boat that day, didn't she say that she lived in the east of Baolong Temple? No wonder I met Song Sanniang on the street this morning. Banniang thought of Song Sanniang, and thought of Chai Nineteen.
Chai Nineteen is really casual chatter, at dusk is, really sent the little guy to come, to the old lady sent some snacks to eat and some precious medicine, to Zeng Budo but it was a Duan inkstone, to Banniang sent a few idle books, but the old lady didn't know who Nineteen Lang was, because the medicine is precious, the end of the inkstone is also a tribute, so I looked at Zeng Budo, Zeng Budo also felt that this gift was heavy, but it was not good to return it, so he nodded to the old lady, the old lady accepted it, and let Liu Niang reward the little guy with a penny. The little guy generously accepted it, and replied to Zeng Budo with a few words, but it was time to resign, but the little guy stood still and didn't move, so Zeng Budo asked: "But what else do you have to say about your family?" ”
The little guy was a little embarrassed, and secretly complained in his heart that his master didn't rely on the common thing, and said with a smile: "Master Zeng has insight into Qiu Hao, and he is really my son-in-law...... I would like to ask the eighth lady of the house to make some cakes that I ate on the boat that day and bring some back to taste. ”
Not only was he stunned, but even Mrs. Huang was surprised and funny, looking at the gift given by the nineteen langs, she knew that her background was extraordinary, but the request made by this little guy was too unobtrusive, so she glanced at Banniang, who wanted to confess to her grandmother, I really had no secret relationship with that guy, but at this time I had to pretend to be stunned and look back at my grandmother very innocently.
Huang had to look at Zeng Budo again, Zeng Budo nodded, and asked Banniang when he could prepare to come out.
Banniang secretly slandered herself, and she didn't know what kind of wind Chai Nineteen was smoking, so she had to respond: "It's not a hassle to make scallion pancakes, it's good for about half an hour, I just bought fine noodles with my sixth sister early in the morning, and I thought I would make some at night and give my grandmother a taste, I'll go now." After saying that, he reluctantly went to the kitchen.
Huang saw the cleverness of the little guy, so he left him to speak, and asked about his son-in-law, and the little guy picked up what he could say, and listened to it without doubt, and there were some doubts in his heart, but Nineteen Lang's speech was not leaky, and when he came back, he saw his mother, and he forgot to ask Shiro Golang, and the two sons went to the state school early the next morning, and they didn't have time to ask clearly, so they asked the little guy: "I forgot to ask Nineteen Lang last time, it is said that there is Taixue in Beijing, and with Nineteen Lang's family background, it is not difficult to enter the country's prison, Why did your master and servant come to Chuan and enter the state school? ”
The little guy asked, half sitting on the stool, because Chai 19 had already instructed the little guy, and said with a smile: "Back to the words of the great master, my son-in-law heard that Jiangxi was flourishing, so he has been thinking about coming to see, and the grandfather's house is in Linchuan, the former son made some small mistakes, was punished by the master of the family, and sent to the grandfather's house in Linchuan, originally thought to ask the uncle to take care of some time, and then sent it back, but I didn't want the son to meet two friends here, because they are both talented students in the state school, the son simply discussed with his uncle, I wanted to go to the state to study for the New Year, and my uncle wrote to ask the master of the family, and the master thought it was also a good thing, so the son entered the state school. ”
This translation is also clear, but there is no word about Chai Nineteen's family history, and it is not doubtful that it is difficult to ask again. After a few words, Banniang had already made the green onion cake, packed it in a white porcelain plate, put it in the food box, and brought it over, smelling it from a distance. Huang smiled at the little guy and said, "Just smell this fragrance, it's also attractive, no wonder your son-in-law Baba came to beg." ”
The little guy saw that the old lady didn't feel that her son-in-law's convulsive behavior was rude, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Only the old lady is generous, so I don't think my son-in-law is rude, and the little one also persuades, how can there be a reason to go to other people's houses to ask for food, but the son said that he is friends with the two sons of the house, and he doesn't care about these false courtesies, because in front of the two fathers are brothers, and the young lady in the house is also a sister, please ask my sister to make some food, and the original is nothing, and the little one dares to come." ”
As soon as he said it, it was obvious that Shiro and Shiro regarded the people of Zengfu as his own family, because the old lady didn't know that Shiro and Goro and Chai Shijiu were actually just general friends, but they liked the words of the little girl, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that the child is also enthusiastic." I also told you to wait for so long, this food is only afraid that it will be cold and the taste will be broken, so go back quickly. ”
Banniang listened on the side, thinking of the evil ambiguity when Chai Nineteen spoke in her ear that day, and wanted to roll her eyes.
He gave the two food boxes to the little girl: "The larger food box is for your son-in-law, and the other food box is for my two brothers." And remember, don't mess around. ”
Because I wanted to do it for Chai Nineteen alone, I also did it, so I simply made some for my two brothers. Shiro and Gorou are only on the first day of the new year in January, and they have one day off on the tenth and twentieth days of the new year, and they can't go home these days.
The little guy complied, and left.
