Chapter 018: Another Accident
"Alright, let's put things here!"
Mama Zhao came back from the village market in a hurry, followed by two short-term workers carrying burdens, four of them in a thick basket, full of vegetables, fresh meat, eggs, wheat flour and some jars, several jars should be placed in oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
"Hey, thank you Grandma!"
After receiving more than a dozen literary and labor money, two strong men, happy and happy, thanked him. One of them was more clever, seeing that they picked up more things, and Mama Zhao might not be able to get it back by herself, so she said enthusiastically: "Or, the little one will help grandma transport it in?" ”
"No need, we have someone to move, put the things away, and you can go!"
Mama Zhao refused very simply, there were only her and Qi Niang in the small courtyard, and there were no other rough servants, Qi Niang was weak and noble, she definitely couldn't do rough work, and she was the only one who really transported things in.
Rao is like this, she will never let two vulgar country people into the inner courtyard, no one can bear to serve, the house is not a deep courtyard with three entrances, only maintaining Qi Niang's dignity is the last bottom line in her heart.
"Oh, good!"
Alas, I don't know what kind of family this family is, if they buy so many things at once, if there are often such things, they don't have to wait for odd jobs. The clever young man, who touched the cold nail and still didn't give up, first neatly unloaded the things to the steps at the door, and then pointed to the first-class thatched house on the west side of the farm, and said with a smile: "Grandma, the little Chen Ergou, is a farmer in Chenjiazhuang on the west side of Qingyuan Villa, often working part-time in the village market, and there are also a lot of grain and fresh vegetables at home. Or if you want to buy vegetables, fresh meat, you just need to shout at the door, and I will send it to you immediately! ”
"Chen Ergou? Well, yes, yes, see you're quite clever, and I'll give you ten dollars to drink! ”
Listening to Chen Ergou's enthusiastic solicitation, Mama Zhao was stunned at first, she didn't expect that there would be such a clever young man in this remote wilderness. En, it's barely a talent, feed some sweetness first, maybe it will be of great use in the future!
"Oops, thank you grandma!"
In the envious eyes of his companions, Chen Ergou happily accepted Mama Zhao's reward, and his attitude became more and more attentive, "If you have something to do, when you don't catch the market, I will do carpentry work at the entrance of the village." ”
"Okay, I've worked hard for you today, let's go!"
Out of the corner of Mama Zhao's eyes, she saw Feng Tiezhu walking over with two fishes, waving his hand, and sending the two porters away.
"Yo, Steward Feng, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have developed!"
Mama Zhao still remembered in her heart that the bastard in front of her refused to ask her girl for a doctor, and she spoke a little sharper.
"Mama Zhao, hello!"
Busy with spring plowing in the past two days, Feng Tiezhu came back late yesterday, and was kicked out by her before he had a deep talk with Mama Zhao. Speaking of this Mama Zhao, he has also heard people talk about being the most loyal person to the second grandmother. Although he didn't recognize the second young grandmother, he had seen the nurse Zhao next to the second young grandmother a few times from afar.
hated the two thieves who sent the second grandmother before, no matter what kind of ghost thoughts they had, they didn't tell the identity of the second grandmother, so they also held the principle that more is better than less, and they didn't fulfill their due responsibilities to the second grandmother.
Now, Mama Zhao has followed, even if the two of them don't fall into the well, just standing by and watching this, they will be hated by this old woman who protects the calf.
Alas, he thought that this time the second grandmother had little chance of turning over, he didn't expect the second grandmother's helper to come so quickly, so that the husband and wife didn't do anything bad, but they also became wicked people. Why bother?!
"Where is it, Mama Zhao, you are too small, what are you called a steward, you are still the same as the house, just call me Feng Da fool." Speaking of this, he lifted the fresh fish in his hand and said with a hint of apology: "When the second grandmother came, the two eldest aunts didn't tell us who it was...... Our Qingyuan Villa is far away from the county seat, and the only doctor is still in the town seventy or eighty miles away. When I go to ask for a doctor tomorrow, the doctor is still far away, there is no way, so I will let the family kill the hen that lays eggs first, and stew it for the second grandmother. Alas, thanks to God's protection, the second grandmother finally survived, otherwise we-"
As he spoke, Feng Tiezhu's face was full of sadness, coupled with his loyal face, which made people believe what he said when they looked at it.
Hey, wallgrass! Mama Zhao is not an ordinary person, she has lived in the Wang family's mansion for more than 20 years, and she has never seen any cunning and treacherous people. Feng Tiezhu's face may be able to bluff her Qiniang, but she wants to deceive her.
However, now is not the time to settle accounts with him, thinking of the situation in front of her, Mama Zhao suddenly smiled on her face, and unceremoniously reached out to take the two crucian carp, "Oh, so that's the case, I said that Feng Da Fool has always been a loyal person, how could he do such a bully?" It turned out that those two dead mothers-in-law were making trouble, look at me and the second young grandmother back in the house, how to clean up these two old goods! ”
"Perhaps, they have been confused for a long time, so they forgot to get down to business...... Then who is who, what are you doing standing up, and you don't carry things in for Mama Zhao! ”
Feng Tiezhu was a little embarrassed by Mama Zhao's words, and his eyes were even more daring to look around, and when he saw a few peasant women swaying under the locust tree in front of the door, he waved and greeted loudly.
For a while, several stout peasant women surrounded them, moving and carrying them, and in the blink of an eye, they transported the things purchased by Mama Zhao into the small courtyard.
Mama Zhao commanded the mothers-in-law to put things away, and sent Feng Tiezhu, who came with her, to Wang Qifang's bedroom.
Gently pushing open the door crack, I saw Wang Qifang holding a piece of fine silk cloth and lace in her hand, sewing stitch by stitch, looking at the calm and peaceful expression, it seemed that she had figured it out and made a decision.
"Mama, are you back?" Wang Qifang felt that someone was watching her, so she raised her eyes and looked out, and found that it was Mama Zhao with a loving face, her heart warmed, and she asked with a smile, "I heard Sister-in-law Feng say that you went to the market, is the market lively?" ”
"Hey, in a remote mountain village, what good goods can there be, it's just to buy something temporary." When Mama Zhao saw that Wang Qifang had found herself, she patted the dust on her body, pushed the door and walked in, first stretched out her hand to test Wang Qifang's forehead, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Well, fortunately, there is no fever, Qi Niang, tell Mama if you have anything on your mind in the future, don't carry it alone!" ”
"Yes, I see!" Wang Qifang thought about it all morning, and finally sorted it out, had a plan in her heart, and her mood was much more relaxed.
Then, Mama Zhao put away the things purchased one by one, cleaned up the long-abandoned kitchen, cleaned the pots, lit firewood, and started lunch.
At noon, Mama Zhao held a plate with four dishes, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of milky white crucian carp soup.
"Mama, you can eat too!"
Wang Qifang knew that in a large family, the nurse was higher than an ordinary servant, and she was also a servant, and she was not qualified to eat with her master at all. But the experience of her previous life and the residual memories of the deity, she couldn't bear to look at the loyal Mama Zhao in front of her.
"Don't worry, Qi Niang, you eat first!"
Mama Zhao knew Qifang's thoughts, smiled with satisfaction, and still stood aside and waited for Wang Qifang to eat, "Come, drink soup, nourish!" ”
"Oh, good!" Wang Qifang saw that the old lady was very persistent, and she couldn't be reluctant, so she obediently picked up the spoon and scooped half a spoonful of fish soup, "vomit~~" The fish soup hadn't touched her lips yet, but she vomited!
