362 Far Cry (9)
After Lin Xiaoxiao and Shi Bin stepped on the land, they saw the vivid crowd, green plants, gray houses, red propaganda posters, everything made it so cute and fresh, and even the blue sky and white clouds that they were usually tired of seeing became more beautiful.
Shi Bin quietly observed his surroundings, this was the first time he came into contact with the noisy society since he came to this world. Lin Xiaoxiao only cares about freshness, and she sees many people in the bazaar taking out their home-made things to sell or exchange for money.
Lin Xiaoxiao likes a kind of printed and dyed homespun cloth, with large pieces of blue and geometric patterns, and she prefers this classic color and pattern that is not easy to go out of style than the traditional red peony pattern.
Lin Xiaoxiao pulled the corner of Shi Bin's clothes, and he stopped and waited first. She rubbed it down and touched the cloth, and she could clearly feel the roughness on her hands, which was not as soft as pure cotton, nor as good as the fashion of being really good.
"Auntie, how do you sell this cloth?" Lin Xiaoxiao was satisfied but her face did not change, and she asked the price with a little regret after speaking.
"Sister, my cloth is of good quality, and it won't rot if you keep it for the rest of your life, don't worry! Five cents a foot, how many feet do you want? "The cloth seller praised her own cloth for a while, and only said the price after boasting.
Lin Xiaoxiao actually didn't know whether the price was expensive or cheap, she pretended to be very knowledgeable and nodded.
"Auntie, I want all your cloth." Lin Xiaoxiao wants to buy all these cloths back, and she plans to use them to make beautiful long dresses.
"Okay, girl, you're so cheerful, I'll wrap it up for you!" The eldest lady glanced at Shi Bin standing on the side, and knew that the family conditions were good when she looked at the green military uniform.
Lin Xiaoxiao not only bought cloth, but also bought a lot of snacks, especially many traditional handmade snacks that will gradually disappear after industrialization.
Lin Xiaoxiao not only bought, but also ate while walking regardless of the image. She not only eats herself, but also likes to stuff it into Shi Bin's mouth. Although the two of them are just old clothes, they are clean and tidy, coupled with good appearance and superior height, they are already conspicuous when they walk on the road.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know anything about her own charm, and she fed Shi Bin snacks from time to time, which made the people around her angry. If it weren't for the invisible pressure from the tall and mighty Shi Bin, someone in the crowd would have stood up and accused Lin Xiaoxiao of being immoral.
There were many people in the bazaar, Lin Xiaoxiao stopped and stopped, and Shi Bin was careful to protect her from the people around her. People who wanted to accuse Lin Xiaoxiao, looking at Shi Bin's actions, couldn't help but weigh it in their hearts, and found that Shi Bin's danger was too dangerous, such a person was not worth offending, so he could only turn a blind eye and let the two of them pass by on the street.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Shi Bin returned to the village just in time for dinner, and white smoke began to rise from the roofs of every house.
The couple went home and worked separately, one cooked, the other cleaned, and when the food was served, the home was clean and tidy.
After the meal, the couple had to go to Shi's house first, no matter what happened inside, they must do enough to face the elders, and many of them only pursue this.
Lin Xiaoxiao packed up the gifts, it was not easy for them to come back, they couldn't take out too few things, and too many were afraid of attracting the greed of the Shi family.
Lin Xiaoxiao carefully selected, pulled Shi Bin for reference, and finally picked a suitable gift. She took the gift and asked Shi Bin to go ahead, and it was best to go to this point after dinner when everyone was at home.
The couple passed by more than a dozen villagers' homes, and after greeting many people, they finally walked to the old house of the Shi family.
Shi Bin pushed the door directly in, and the family was eating happily, it seemed that they had come at an inopportune time.
"Binzi, why are you back?" The stone mother who sat on the top was the first to find the younger son and his wife.
When the family heard Shi Mu's words, they all looked up at the door from their rice bowls.
Shi Bin walked into the house under the attention of the family, he swept the dishes on the table with the corner of his eye, and the day was also tight.
"Dad, mother, I just came back." Shi Bin asked Lin Xiaoxiao to hand over the things to Shi Mu.
"Well, you sit down first, and we'll talk a few words when we eat." Father Shi still has half a bowl of rice to eat.
Shi Mu couldn't take care of eating, so she had to put things into the house first, and she had to lock them up to rest assured.
The family crowded into a table to eat, but no one asked Shi Bin and Lin Xiaoxiao if they had eaten, not even anyone who told them to sit down.
Lin Xiaoxiao saw that Shi Bin was also treated like this when she went home, compared to the last time she came back, the treatment of her in-laws was always the same, and her psychology was balanced.
Shi Bin was not polite, no one entertained them, he found two chairs by himself, pulled Lin Xiaoxiao to sit down and watch everyone eat.
Shi Bin set his eyes on the vegetable bowl, wanting to study what kind of dishes the Shi family usually eats. But his eyes made everyone misunderstand, thinking that he hadn't eaten, so he kept staring at the food.
Shi's father and mother didn't feel anything, but Shi Bin's three brothers began to feel uncomfortable. They are not three-year-olds, and they understand human accidents, but their parents don't speak, and they can only pretend to be stupid.
The three concubines of the Shi family urged the children to eat quickly, and they didn't want to have two more pairs of chopsticks to fight for food.
Shi Bin has studied the food of the Shi family, not to mention the quality of the ingredients, this cooking skill is not as good as Lin Xiaoxiao. He was glad that he didn't have to grab food in the same pot with the Shi family, and looked at the dishes on the table, boiled sweet potatoes, moldy bean dregs, pickled cucumbers, and old-fashioned water spinach, fried leeks without eggs.
Not only is there no meat in the bowl, but there is not even oil, and there are no flowers in the vegetable soup, so it is more appropriate to say that it is a stir-fried dish than a boiled dish.
Shi Bin felt that the Shi family was having a hard time, but Shi Mu didn't think so, the family could have a full meal, and there were still meals on the table, and there were a few families in the village that could compare.
Father Shi shook the dishes and chopsticks after eating, wiped his mouth, and waited for the woman to clean up. After he finished eating, the other people at the table significantly sped up, and in less than three minutes, everyone had finished eating.
Shi's mother arranged for her daughter-in-law to clean up the table, there was no leftovers, and every bowl was eaten cleanly, not even the soup was left, but she didn't lick the bottom of the bowl.
Father Shi lit a cigarette and took a puff before speaking slowly: "Why did you come back?" ”
Shi Mu came out of the kitchen, and without waiting for Shi Bin to answer, she hurriedly spoke: "It's okay to come back, you two just gave this pension money." ”
The three brothers of the Shi family glanced at each other, bowed their heads and pretended not to hear Shi Mu's words.
Shi Bin frowned, Shi's father and mother were still healthy, and the work they earned in the village every year was still enough to support themselves. When the family was separated, it was right to say that they would give pension money, but they couldn't let him bear it alone.
It's just that the three elder brothers have not been separated from the family, and the economic power of the family has always been in the hands of Shi Mu, and he can't ask Shi Mu to find each son fairly for pension money.
"What, you're reluctant to give?" Shi Mu was very dissatisfied with Shi Bin's silent attitude.
