Chapter XXXVIII
Where to start!
Du Hepu pursed his lips and did not speak.
At this time, the Li family had already walked out of the East House.
"Yo, old sister-in-law, you're there!" At this time of year, the Li family also went to the town, and under normal circumstances, there was no one to see at all.
"Li Zheng is here to observe the people's feelings?" Li said as he sat down in the master's seat.
Really speaking, the original position of the three locks of the stone was given to him by Du's father! Although the Du family is an outsider, Du Ennian is an open-minded and upright person, and he has always been able to help outsiders when he asks for help, and he has no selfish thoughts, so he almost became Du's father.
But Du Ennian had no selfish intentions, so he gave up this position to Shi Sansuo. Facts have proved that Shi Sansuo's ability is not bad, and over the years, he has helped the people in the village to do practical things.
Du's father's vision is still very accurate.
Shi Sansuo hurriedly waved his hand, "Ouch, ouch, don't dare to say this." He waved his hand, and the cigarette pouch and pot in his hand also shook, "Old sister-in-law, you are burying me!" ”
Li didn't answer, and asked him instead: "Listen to what Li Zheng means, you are here today to ......" The latter words, Li Shi didn't say.
Shi Sansuo said immediately: "It's nothing, it's just that you haven't left yet, so come and take a look!" Isn't it long overdue to leave at this time of year? ”
Du Heqing didn't speak, in fact, why Shi Sansuo came, everyone in the family knew it.
Li Shi had a smile on her face, and she couldn't see her true thoughts at all, "Oh, there's no rush this year!" To tell you the truth, I'm going to rent out the shops in this town. ”
"Rent it out?" Shi Sansuo felt that there was something wrong here, no wonder the old woman had to urge him to come over.
Shi Sansuo's wife, Ma, didn't know why, she had to compare with the Du family.
From the time she first got married, she saw that Li's nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes. For the sake of the friendship between the two families, the Li family has never seen her in general, but the Ma family seems to be blinded by lard, and he has to be tall, short, fat and thin compared with the Du family.
For so many years, Mars has lost more and won less.
When she got married, Shi Sansuo had just become Lizheng, and the people in the village said that his position was given to him by Du Ennian. Ma was naturally not convinced when he heard this, and since then he has held a grudge against Li.
Maybe there are other reasons, but the Du family doesn't know! Anyway, the Du family's house is magnificent, there is a shop with a small courtyard in the town, life is prosperous, and there are dozens of acres of fertile land at home, Ma is quite unconvinced.
When Du Ennian had just passed away, Ma did gloat for a while.
The backbone of the Du family is gone, and she sees how long the Du family can prosper.
However, Ma didn't expect that the Li family with his two sons would live a prosperous life. The family's business was not thrown away, and the crops in the field were not delayed, which really made her angry.
However, Ma heard that the Du family seemed to be noisy on the first day of the new year, and the movement was not too big, and the neighbors on both sides didn't really hear it, so they didn't take it to heart.
But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention!
Ma Shi thinks that there is something very willing to do here! Maybe, the two sons of the Du family are making a fuss! When she heard that the Du family was not in a hurry to rush to the town this year, she was even more puzzled, saying that she had to let her man go to the Du family to inquire about what happened to the Du family.
Shi Sansuo couldn't stand his mother-in-law's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he came over.
The Li family knew it, but he didn't break the three locks of the stone, because he had a friendship with Du's father at the beginning.
But isn't there a time when this friendship will run out?
Shi Sansuo obviously didn't think of this.
"Yes! The old woman is old, and there are times when she can't do it. Besides, the girls in our family are all older, and it's not good to be in the shop all the time. ”
Shi Sansuo: "Oh, yes, yes, no, it's time for the children to say goodbye!" The second family's Anxing, is he still studying! Oh, I've heard that what kind of academy it is, it's precious. ”
Li smiled and said, "Reading, how can you read it in three or two years?" Lee neither answered his question head-on, nor did he avoid it.
Shi Sansuo didn't hear it, and couldn't stop nodding, "That's it, that's it, studying, it's hard!" He said as he stood up, "Old sister-in-law, you are busy, I'll go back!" ”
Li also got up and said, "Uncle Sansuo, aren't you waiting for a while?" Eat here at noon, and I'll let the two boys have a drink with you. ”
Shi Sansuo waved his hand, "Don't drink, don't drink, I'm leaving." "Although he is Lizheng, he is also a cheeky person, he and the two children of the Du family are different in generation, and the Li family is widowed, so you have to pay attention to everything.
"Okay, I won't send you. Boss, send you Uncle Sansuo. ”
"Ugh!" Du Heqing responded and sent Shi Sansuo out of Du's house.
Li turned around and entered the East House, and the expression on his face was a little unpleasant.
Du Yuniang knew about Ma's affairs, so she comforted her and said, "Grandmother, it's not the first day that she's like this, you can dissipate your anger." ”
Li Shi took off his shoes and said on the kang: "Hmph, I'm angry with her, I can't do it!" Ma Cuihua's thoughts, she knows it in her heart! Isn't it that she fell in love with the old man back then and wanted to marry into the Du family, but the old man didn't agree!
How old are they, and they still remember this, it's just not ashamed. Ma Cuihua can't swallow this breath, and she is disgusted with herself!
Du Yuniang smiled and helped Li Shi pull the pleats on the placket, and quietly changed the topic, "Grandmother, what do you want to eat at noon?" "The living conditions of the Du family are not bad, and they eat three meals a day, although they are not small grains, there are fish and meat, but they are enough to be enviable.
The New Year's chews prepared before the New Year have been almost consumed, and the harder ones have already begun to gnaw on the nest.
Life is not easy, and everyone should be diligent and thrifty.
Li asked Du Yuniang, "What does Yuniang want to eat?" ”
Yu Niang was pampered and raised by her, and whoever she wronged, the Li family was unwilling to wronged Du Yu Niang.
"Grandmother, I see that our cabbage is very good, and I eat Chinese cabbage stickers at noon! Grandmother's pasted cakes are the best. "The cornmeal stickers are mixed with the aroma of cabbage, and there is a layer of slightly hard gaba underneath, which tastes extraordinarily fragrant.
Cut another plate of small pickles, drizzle with chopped green onions and sesame oil, mix slightly, and you can eat.
Li smiled and touched Du Yuniang's head, looking at the little girl in front of him, in addition to excitement, there was also pride.
Her jade lady didn't raise crooked! More and more sensible.
"Yu Niang, grandmother will show you a hand at noon today, so that you can see your grandmother's skill in pasting big cakes!"
