Chapter 12: Ye's Door-to-door 1
Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door, Xiao Jingshu opened the door, saw that it was Ye's, and said with a smile: "It's just right to come, Wanqing just made corn branding, and I made a little too much, I'm worried that I can't finish it." ”
"That's a blessing for my mouth," Ye snorted, smelling the scent of corn in the courtyard, with a hint of sweetness.
The courtyard of the Xiao family is not big, the small garden that used to be planted with flowers and plants is planted with green vegetables, and there are a few melon and fruit shelves in the corner, and there are still some flowers and plants in the flower pots in the corner.
The two walked to the living room, where two bowls of white porridge and two side dishes were placed on the table.
Xiao Jingshu pulled Ye Shi to sit down, "Aunt Liu came early today, I'm afraid I haven't used it early, Wanqing's cooking skills are getting better and better, you just want to try it." ”
Wanqing happened to come in with a plate of corn at this time, and said with a smile: "That's all taught by the little lady." ”
"That's why you have a lot of tricks." Ye Shi pointed his finger at Xiao Jingshu and said with a smile: "I don't know what your brain is made of, you can figure out all kinds of strange ways to eat when you eat." ”
"I don't have nothing to do all day, so I can only toss some food." Xiao Jingshu smiled, and then said to Wanqing: "You go to the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes." ”
Wanqing nodded in response, knowing that they had something to say.
After Wanqing left, Ye Shi took a closer look at Xiao Jingshu, and saw that she was always with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, and the long hair of the black crow crow, Su Lege, was hanging down and her forehead was thick and long, covering most of her delicate facial features.
Xiao Jingshu has been born well since she was a child, but it is not a good thing that the daughter of an ordinary family is born well, not to mention that she has no elders and relatives to protect her, Ye couldn't help but take Xiao Jingshu's hand and put it in the palm of her hand and patted it gently, and said, "The thing you asked me to help before already has an eyebrow." ”
Xiao Jingshu was stunned for a moment and asked, "So fast?" I don't know which family it is? ”
"You should have heard of this person, this person has a butcher shop on Changning Street."
Xiao Jingshu thought about it, but really pulled out a vague impression from her memory. "Isn't it that the head of the family has been dead for less than half a year, and the lady left her children and took most of the family wealth to marry another family?"
At that time, her father had just died, and Wanqing was worried that she was bored, so she went outside to listen to the gossip and came back to say that she would listen to her, because her father died, so she was particularly impressed.
Ye Shi coughed lightly: "It's his family, although something happened in this Pei Dalang's family, but the person is good, dignified, eight feet tall, because he loved to dance knives and guns when he was young, and he still has some kung fu in his hands." ”
Xiao Jingshu's eyes lit up, she knows kung fu well, she likes kung fu, she reached out and took a piece of corn and chewed it, the fried skin of the newly grown tender corn was crispy, and the inside was soft and glutinous and sweet, she continued to listen to Ye's details while eating.
"This Pei Dalang is a native of this county, 20 years old this year, he is a righteous and trustworthy person, his family has a house and a shop, he makes a living by himself, and another 20 acres of land is handed over to tenants to cultivate, although he is not rich and expensive, he does not worry about food and clothing."
Xiao Jingshu was puzzled, "His family's conditions are not bad, why hasn't he married a wife for twenty miles?" ”
"There's another reason for that." Ye pursed his lips and said: "When Pei's father was here, he had ordered a family for Pei Dalang, after Pei's father went, Pei Dalang kept filial piety for three years, and when he came out of filial piety to propose marriage, the woman's family asked Pei Erlang to split up the family, and Dalang was unwilling, so he personally came to the door to return the marriage.
