Chapter 39: The wages must be doubled

Qu Xiaomo just shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent: "It's none of my business, but I advise you, there is no impermeable wall in the world, so you can do it yourself." ”

After speaking, she didn't care what kind of face Zhou Mei was, and went back to the house, she still had a lot of things to do, where did she have time to talk nonsense with this kind of white lotus.

Zhou Mei glanced at the courtyard where the two disappeared resentfully, and left without looking back.

I invited an old doctor to check the pulse again, and the prescription was changed again, Qu Xiaomo took the prescription of the letter and looked at it, and saw that it was a few medicinal materials, so he asked, "Doctor, when will this be good?" ”

"Don't worry, you will be able to live in a month, eat according to this prescription, still three times a day, and still avoid spicy food, and the rest can be arbitrary." The old doctor packed up the medicine box and said

Qu Xiaomo wrote them down one by one, and paid the consultation fee to send the old doctor to the entrance of the village to send the ox cart before returning, and on the way I happened to meet a few sisters-in-law from the village who got together to say this, and Sister-in-law Qi and Sister-in-law Zhang were also there, and they all waved at her and signaled to come over.

Qu Xiaomo walked over with a smile, and after greeting everyone, he asked, "What's the matter with my sister-in-law?" ”

Sister-in-law Qi took out a handful of pumpkin seeds from her arms and gave them to her, and then asked, "Why haven't you been buying chickens in the village lately?" ”

Qu Xiaomo took it and knocked it, and said: "The husband said that he was tired of eating, and after a while, I thought about whether to buy some game or fish or something, so I could change the taste, not to mention him, I am tired of eating it." ”

Sister-in-law Qi pointed to Sister-in-law Zhang next to her and said: "If you want to talk about fish, you can just tell Sister-in-law Zhang, to ensure that it is fresh every day, and her family is a good hand at catching fish." ”

Qu Xiaomo's eyes lit up: "Really? That's going to be a trouble for Sister-in-law Zhang. ”

"Hey! What's not troublesome, it's all the villagers. Sister-in-law Zhang responded with a smile

"That's the same price as the fish in the county, and I'm adding five cents as a hard fee for Brother Zhang." Qu Xiaomo said with a smile

A fish is only about ten yuan, plus five yuan, which makes Zhang's sister-in-law very happy, and even if she agrees, she will send it to Qu Xiaomo tomorrow.

A few people were talking, and they happened to see Zhou Mei coming in from the entrance of the village, wearing a new dress and carrying a basket, with a smile on her face, thinking that she was in a good mood, looking at her appearance, I am afraid that she has just returned from the county seat.

Zhou Mei, who entered the village, also saw a few of them, and the smile on her face instantly received a lot, and she didn't say hello to them loudly, just turned towards the path and went home.

Sister-in-law Qi looked at her back and snorted, "Little cheap hoof, I got married and went out to the county all day long." ”

"Speaking of which, I went to the county seat a few days ago and saw something." A somewhat chubby sister-in-law snorted in the direction of Zhou Mei with melon seeds, and said, "I saw that she was getting close to that Pei Gongzi." ”

"Shhhh Virtue, you don't know what kind of character she is, if you can't get close, I'll be surprised. Sister-in-law Qi said with a look of disgust

A few days later, on this day, Zhang's sister-in-law came to deliver the fish, and after receiving the money, she didn't leave, and pulled Qu Xiaomo and whispered: "Have you heard?" ”

"What did you hear?" Qu Xiaomo wiped his hands with a handkerchief and asked with a puzzled expression

"I heard that the man's family came to make trouble yesterday." Sister-in-law Zhang said

"What's going on?"

"It's not that the little hoof often goes to the county seat, and she was bumped into by the man's relatives and played with Pei Gongzi, and I heard that they all hugged her." Sister-in-law Zhang's face was excited

Qu Xiaomo smiled, these two people only hugged, they kissed, Pei Gongzi was about to kick the door, but this was bumped into by the man's people, but there was a good show to watch.

"What did the man say?" Qu Xiaomo asked

"What else can I say, the young man's father and mother brought someone to ask, I went to see it, and came back to tell me that Zhou Mei cried and cried and said that she was just an ordinary friend, that Pei Gongzi saw that she embroidered a handkerchief well, and bought it a few times before he knew, hugging and hugging that thing and not admitting it, and said that the relative slandered her, and the man's relative was so angry that he scolded him for his indiscretion, he was a slut, I was going to laugh to death when I heard it, this person is also a powerful person."

Qu Xiaomo didn't have a good impression of this Zhou Mei, so he smiled unceremoniously at this time, and said, "If you want me to say, she is not restrained, I'm afraid that she will really not be able to get married." ”

"Not really." Sister-in-law Zhang thought so

After chatting a few more words, he said goodbye to Qu Xiaomo and went to work, sent people away and returned to the house, Jin Yu came out of the room and asked, "What kind of fish are you eating today?" ”

"I'll go to Aunt Li's house in the village to buy some tofu in a while, and I'll make soup." Qu Xiaomo said

"What are you whispering just now?" Jin Zhen asked

Qu Xiaomo hooked his lips and glanced at him, this man is quite curious!

"It's just about talking about Zhou Mei, she and that Pei Gongzi's affairs seem to have been known by the man's family, and I told my sister-in-law Zhang that I brought someone to make trouble yesterday."

Jin Yu nodded: "Don't go to the county seat for the time being these days." ”

Qu Xiaomo, who was about to turn around to deal with the fish, frowned when he heard this, and turned around and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Jin Zhen glanced at him with disdain, and said, "You don't use your brains on weekdays?" Now that Zhou Mei is not dealing with us, she must be looking for someone to vent her anger, wouldn't you go to the town to give them a chance. ”

Qu Xiaomo Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just that you refused, you can't make trouble with me, your nominal wife, because of love and hatred." ”

"No, you better be careful when you go out in the future." Golden Sting

Qu Xiaomo glared at him, turned his head to deal with the fish, and said: "It's not the rotten peach blossoms you provoked, I, who are a little girl, not only have to serve you to eat, drink, and Lazar, but also have to block the peach blossoms for you, it's really... The wages must be doubled. ”

The corners of the golden sting's lips rose in an arc, looking at the person who was still chattering, and suddenly felt that it would be good if he lived such a life in the future, but the thought was dispelled by himself as soon as he started, and the hatred he was born and carried was destined to be impossible, and the arc of the hook was quietly put down.

Although Qu Xiaomo was complaining, he also felt in his heart that what Jin Yu said was reasonable, and it would be better to go less to this town in the future, and just ask someone to help if there is something less important.

On this day, Qu Xiaomo and Jin Yu were in the yard to enjoy the cool as usual, because the peanuts that Aunt Fang had taken back the day before yesterday had not been picked, so he took the frame and helped pick some of them.

Just started to start outside the courtyard there was a person, a young man in his early twenties, Qu Xiaomo looked up and looked at a face, thinking that he was not from the village, before she could ask, she heard the person outside stretching out his head inside, the two looked at each other, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then looked away a little shyly, and asked out loud: "Excuse me, is this Aunt Fang's house?" ”

Seeing that he was looking for Aunt Fang, Qu Xiaomo patted the mud on his hands, got up and said, "Yes!" Are you...?"

The young man blushed and said, "I am from Fangjia Village, a relative of Aunt Fang." ”

"Oh! Then the little brother will come and sit first, Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang will go to harvest peanuts, they should be back soon, come and sit in first. Qu Xiaomo invited people into the courtyard, took out a chair and poured a bowl of herbal tea for him.

The golden sting, who was reading the book, only looked up at him when he greeted him when he came in, answered the call, and then lowered his eyes to read the book again.

Qu Xiaomo sat back in place to pick peanuts, and he couldn't leave people dry after pouring tea, so he asked, "What is the name of the little brother?" ”

"My sister calls me Muzi." The young man took a sip of herbal tea

Qu Xiaomo shouted Brother Muzi with a smile, causing Jin Yu to raise his eyes and look at her, and Muzi's face turned red again when he was shouted, and he was embarrassed to hold a tea bowl and pretend to drink tea to block his face.

Qu Xiaomo looked at this shy young man with a smile, and said with a smile: "Brother Muzi is not in a hurry, right?" If I'm in a hurry, I'll call Aunt Fang back. ”

"What is Xiao Mo calling me for? Who's coming? As soon as the words fell, Aunt Fang's voice came from outside.

I saw him carrying a load of peanuts to push the courtyard door in, followed by Uncle Fang, Muzi hurriedly put down the bowl and got up to help unload the burden, both of them were slightly surprised when they saw him, and said, "Muzi? When did you come? Go sit and drink tea, this burden is light. ”

Mu Zi was reluctant to help the two of them get off the burden, so he patted the dust on his hands and smiled: "Just came." ”

It was windy outside, so a few people simply didn't go into the house to sit, Qu Xiaomo poured water for them and washed their hands, and then moved out two chairs from inside, and a few people made a bunch.

Uncle Fang wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and asked, "Muzi, why are you free to come over?" ”

"It was my aunt and grandmother who asked me to come and tell my aunt and uncle that Brother Tian Zi will marry in two days, so don't forget it."

"Remember, I can't forget." Aunt Fang took the tea poured by Qu Xiaomo and took a sip, and said to her and Jin Zhen: "I originally wanted to tell the two of you tonight, but we estimated that we would go for two days, and the family would be handed over to you." ”

Qu Xiaomo naturally responded, and at this time, Muzi on the side asked aloud: "Who is this girl...?" ”

"It's a distant cousin, out of five suits, you don't know." Aunt Fang said: "The family is doing business, so I came to borrow it when I passed by." ”

Saying that, he raised his head slightly and motioned to Jin Yu on the side, and said, "This is her husband, surnamed Jin." ”

Only then did Muzi understand why Aunt Fang had no children and no daughters, she only saw two elders last time, but this time there were two more sons and girls who looked so outstanding, it turned out to be cousins! Although he and Aunt Fang are relatives, they are also the same ancestor, there are more branches, and there are more girls who have married out, so it is also appropriate that they don't know each other.

Just when lunch was coming, a few people left Muzi to eat here, today there is the rabbit meat bought at Sister-in-law Li's house yesterday and the pork bought in the county seat, as well as the fish brought by Sister-in-law Zhang, Qu Xiaomo's stir-fry kung fu is also good, adding white rice without any miscellaneous grain rice bran, Muzi looked at the table of meat and was stunned.

Taking advantage of Qu Xiaomo's stir-frying and Jin Zhen helping to add firewood by the stove, Aunt Fang entered the house to change clothes, Muzi, who was sitting on the side talking to Uncle Fang, asked quietly: "Uncle, these two are really your cousins?" I look like a rich boy from some family. ”
