Chapter 70: The round gossip aunt
Cheng Dafu looked at the young man who was sitting quietly beside Cheng Chen suspiciously, and asked Cheng Chen, "Who is this?" ”
Before Cheng Chen could speak, Cheng Dahua couldn't help but take the first step to speak, and responded with a smile, "Haha, you can't recognize it, right?" I didn't recognize him at first, he was the Xu Saburo who Xi Yatou married half a year ago. ”
Cheng Dafu listened to Cheng Dahua's words, and couldn't help but look at Xu Sanlang carefully, and the same was true for the Yu family, the two of them were a little surprised when they saw Xu Sanlang's changes, but they didn't expect that they only went to the county town for half a year, as if they had changed as if they had changed.
After looking at it, he couldn't help but nod his head and praise, "The young man is very good, much stronger than Xu Erlang's fat pig, and the girl Xi is still quite discerning." ”
Cheng Xi heard Cheng Dafu's description, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, Xu Erlang is a little fat, but he is not fat like a pig, but when it comes to Cheng Dafu's mouth, the tone seems to be that Xu Erlang is undoubtedly a fat pig.
As for Xu Sanlang's messy reputation, it is completely out of Cheng Dafu's consideration, if he cares about those messy reputations, it is estimated that he will not have been involved with a kiln sister for so many years.
Xu Sanlang was silent about Cheng Dafu's praise, but he still responded out of politeness, "Uncle Xie praises." ”
Thinking that it was not too early, Wu said hello to everyone, and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch, Ma Xiufen also got up and went to the kitchen to help, Yu saw that the two concubines had gone to the kitchen, of course, it was not good to continue to sit here.
It's just that as soon as Yu opened his mouth, he was stopped by Cheng Dafu, Mrs. Cheng was worried about Yu's stomach, and she also agreed with Cheng Dafu's approach, there were few people, and there were already two daughters-in-law who went to the kitchen to prepare, and there was no shortage of Yu.
Cheng Xi sat in the house and talked to everyone for a while, but because of the addition of Mrs. Cheng, the topic in the house gradually began to talk to the parents, whose baby married a new daughter-in-law, whose daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, Cheng Xi couldn't even tell who was in the village, of course he was not interested in these gossips, thinking that there was still half a bucket of loaches in the kitchen waiting for her to deal with, so he unconsciously got up and walked out of the hall.
This Xu Sanlang is also the same as Cheng Xi, he is neither interested in these gossips in the village, nor does he want to intervene, he just sits quietly on the side, and when he saw Cheng Xi go out, he also stood up and went out.
The rest of the people in the house are a little older, and they are still very interested in whose family gave birth to a boy and a girl, but they don't care much about the two of them going out suddenly.
Cheng Xi went to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife, and then carried the loaches in the kitchen barrel and planned to go to the edge of the vegetable garden behind to deal with it.
Cheng Cai has always stayed in the yard and not entered the house, this is also a habit that he has developed before, as long as other Cheng family members come, he usually stays silently alone, trying to reduce his sense of existence, even if Mrs. Cheng's attitude has changed today, Cheng Cai did not go to the rest of the Cheng family because of this.
And when Cheng Xi went to the kitchen to bring out the wooden barrel, Xu Sanlang just came out of the main house, and Cheng Cai from the courtyard also put down the work in his hand, and the two of them went to the kitchen together.
Of course, the two of them also discovered their respective purposes, and no one was far behind, but they all accelerated their pace, for fear that the barrel in Cheng Xi's hand would reach the other party's hands first, both of them were tall and big, and they were also in a hurry, Cheng Xi estimated that he only took two steps, and the two people in front of him were like two mountains covering his head.
Then the two hands coincidentally stretched out to the barrel in Cheng Xi's hand at the same time, and then Cheng Xi's hand was grasped in the middle of the barrel handle, and one hand on both sides, each side did not give way.
Cheng Xi only twitched out of the corner of his eyes, he didn't understand why the two of them came to grab their own barrels, so they simply let go and took a step back, still holding the small barrel by the two of them, holding their heads with their chests and saying with a smile, "What, you two have taken a fancy to this barrel?" ”
Cheng Cai's purpose was just to help Cheng Xi carry the bucket, and when he saw Xu Sanlang coming, he thought that Xu Sanlang was with him for a purpose, and Cheng Cai didn't know why he wanted to fight with Xu Sanlang, perhaps because he had long been accustomed to Xi'er having been relying on himself, and he was a little uncomfortable when he suddenly changed to relying on others, and Cheng Cai analyzed himself like this in his heart.
But Xu Sanlang knew what Cheng Xi wanted to do, and when Cheng Xi finished speaking, before Cheng Cai could react, Xu Sanlang opened his mouth and responded, "Aren't you going to boil them in a while?" I'm familiar with it, so I'll help you clean it up. ”
After speaking, Xu Sanlang used some force in his hands, wanting to take the barrel from Cheng Cai's hands.
Cheng Cai, who was still stunned, was pulled by Xu Sanlang like this, and said impatiently, "What are you doing?" ”
Xu Sanlang squeezed out a smile on his face and asked, "Fourth brother will deal with these loaches?" ”
Cheng Cai paid attention to what was in the bucket, looked at the loaches in the bucket, shook his head in a daze, and listened to Xu Sanlang continued, "Since the fourth brother can't, let me come." After speaking, he used a little more force in his hand to remind Cheng Cai to let go.
Although Cheng Cai was unwilling, he still obediently let go of his hand, he hadn't been in the kitchen a few times, and he estimated that he was still good at letting him make a fire, but if he wanted to deal with this slippery thing, he really didn't know where to start.
The smile on Xu Sanlang's face, who finally got his wish, seemed to be even better, and asked Cheng Xi on the side, "Where to deal with it?" ”
Seeing that the two of them were no longer grabbing the barrel, Cheng Xi didn't bother anymore why the two of them wanted to grab the barrel, so he stepped forward to lead the way, and said, "Go to the edge of the vegetable garden in the back, so as not to dirty the yard." ”
Cheng Cai looked at the backs of the two leaving, shook his head, snorted lightly at Xu Sanlang's back, and went over to continue repairing his bench.
Cheng Xi and Xu Sanlang went one after the other, and as soon as they went out, they were blocked by a middle-aged woman at the door.
The middle-aged woman had obviously been out for a long time, but she deliberately pretended to be a coincidence and greeted Cheng Xi and Xu Saburo, "Yo, what a coincidence, isn't this Xi Yatou and Xu Jia Saburo?" I heard that the two of them have changed a lot, this is really true, if I hadn't met at the door of Cheng's house, I wouldn't have dared to come forward to say hello casually. ”
Cheng Xi looked at the woman who blocked the way, her round face and round body, and when she laughed, there were basically only a few seams on her round face, Cheng Xi had some impressions of this appearance, as if it was not far away, so she was a neighbor, and with the intention of not making evil casually, Cheng Xi still greeted with a polite smile, "Hello aunt." ”
The next words and small actions of the woman made Cheng Xi frown slightly.
Cheng Xi's attitude made the middle-aged woman slightly stunned, and the smile on her face stiffened slightly for a second before returning to normal, and she responded, "Okay, good, it seems to be quite lively inside, there are guests at home today?" What's in this barrel? ”
The woman first probed her brain and looked in along the open courtyard door behind Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi simply moved her body, blocking the woman's view, and the woman probed her brain to Xu Sanlang's side, wanting to see what was in Xu Sanlang's barrel.
Xu Saburo was simply, seeing the woman leaning towards the barrel in his hand, he simply stretched out his hand and lifted the barrel in front of the woman, the woman only saw the black and slippery half bucket of slippery and greasy things swimming around in the barrel, and before she could see what it was, she staggered back in fright, and tried to stand firm before patting her chest and saying in horror, "Ouch, scared me to death, what are you doing, it seems to be a snake?" ”
Looking at the woman who was a little embarrassed because of her curiosity and gossip, Cheng Xi said funny, "Look at the aunt who scares her, just half a bucket of loaches, there is nothing fishy in this house, so I plan to get some of this thing to beat the tooth." ”
Hearing that it was a loach, and hearing Cheng Xi say that she was going to eat it, the woman pursed her mouth in disgust, "Ouch, how can this thing be eaten, you guys are busy, I'll go first." After saying that, she swayed her round body with a look of disgust, and left in a hurry.
After watching the woman leave, Cheng Xi said to Xu Sanlang on the side, "Let's go, this person is probing his brain, and he doesn't know what he wants to gossip." ”
Xu Sanlang followed behind Cheng Xi and responded, "She should have come to inquire about the news for your original aunt Zhang." ”
Cheng Xi tilted his head and looked at Xu Sanlang slightly, "How do you know?" ”
Xu Sanlang said, "She has a very good relationship with your eldest aunt Zhang, and I used to see her and Zhang's squeezing people together, and helping each other when they were arguing with people." ”
Cheng Xi smiled and said, "I don't see it, you actually like gossip too?" ”
Xu Saburo said with a serious face, "I don't like it, I just have a good memory, and I wrote it down when I saw it." ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Sanlang with a smile, "So you're usually pretending to be stupid?" ”
Xu Saburo hurriedly shook his head and denied, "No." But the skin was originally slightly fairer than before, and a trace of blush on his face was clearly seen by Cheng Xi.
Cheng Xi rarely saw Xu Sanlang's embarrassed appearance, so he couldn't help but continue with a bad taste, "I still said no, look at my face is red." ”
Xu Sanlang was also slightly embarrassed when he was teased by Cheng Xi, and his face was even more flushed, so he had to speed up his pace and change the topic, "These things are troublesome, let's go faster." ”
Cheng Xi quickly followed, hugged Xu Sanlang's other arm that did not carry a bucket, and said unrelentingly, "Answer me honestly, were you pretending to be stupid before, look at the people who can't lie, their faces are so red when they lie." ”
"Not really."
"It's no wonder that someone stopped us yesterday to ask questions, and you still pretend that you don't know others."
"I'm so troublesome, just say you don't know me, and you're not allowed to make fun of me again."
"Hehe, just laugh at you, your face has turned white, and you will blush, haha."
The two of them laughed and went to the back vegetable garden, but they forgot the little episode they had just met with the woman.
