Chapter 57: Into the Village

]

"Dad, didn't you promise the old house that we don't want anything to divide the family? The eldest brother was injured so badly this time, and the younger brother has been in poor health, and it was not caused by them, if we don't kill them today, Ming'er will definitely be arrested with their virtue. ”

Ye Jing didn't answer immediately, although what his daughter said was right, but he has always been a man of his word, and what he said yesterday as if he was said by so many people, he is about to regret it today, and he is still very awkward in his heart.

After a long time, Ye Shaoke still didn't wait for his father's answer. Just when he thought his father was going to turn around and leave, he saw him go to the cupboard, take out a kitchen knife, and start sharpening the knife on the whetstone.

Ye Shao was visible, and hurriedly ran to boil water.

Soon Ye Jing killed the chicken, but Ye Shao didn't let him deal with it, so he asked him to hurry over and clean it.

Ye Yintao saw that his eldest brother was asleep again, so he ran out of the house and squatted next to Ye Shaoke to watch her pluck chicken feathers.

Ye Shaoke saw the well-behaved and sensible little guy and smiled.

"Xiaotao, don't you usually have any playmates?" It's not that she wants to hit her little brother, but she thinks that the little guy is getting better and better now, and he should play carefree like other children, and if it's okay, he will dig out a bird's egg with the children in the village and go to the field to catch loaches, so that he will not be so lonely.

"Yes, I used to be in poor health, and no one played with me, only Brother Xiaohai and Brother Xiaoyang of the uncle's family and that little strong brother will play with me. But I still rarely go out, and they don't come to me. ”

Hearing the little guy's milky voice, Ye Shaoke's heart was about to melt.

In her previous life, she was almost thirty years old, and she had been in love twice, and finally broke up because of the other party's split. At that time, she almost lost trust in men, and when she saw that she was approaching thirty, she thought that she would also go to the orphanage to receive a child, and live her life like that.

Now when she sees her little brother, just like the child she fantasized about at that time, the mother's love at this time has also begun to overflow.

Ye Shaoke stopped what he was doing, looked up at the little guy, and smiled softly: "Our Xiaotao is also in good health now, and we will go to the village to play more when we have time in the future, as long as we don't go to those dangerous places by the river." You can also make more friends, then Xiaotao can share some things with your friends that you feel happy or unhappy with, and you won't be bored at home all day. ”

The little guy had a yearning expression on his face, and he looked at his sister expectantly and asked, "Sister, is there really anyone who will be good friends with me?" They won't bully me like Brother Xiaobao, right? ”

"No, Xiao Tao is a good child, you just don't play with those children who want to bully you."

Ye Yintao nodded as if he didn't understand: "Then I'll wait for my eldest brother's leg to heal, and then I'll go to the village to play." ”

Ye Shaoke smiled with satisfaction: "Our Xiaotao is really sensible, and we also know how to take care of the eldest brother, my sister will make you something to eat today, and your little brother Hai and Brother Xiaoyang and Brother Xiaozhuang will also come to our house for dinner, and you can play with them later." ”

Hearing this, the little guy's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Sister, really? Are they not afraid of this place? Usually there are no children in the village who come to the back mountain, and they are afraid of wild beasts. ”

"No, their father and mother are also eating at our house today, and if a wild beast comes, we will beat them away."

Ye Shaoke sped up the speed in his hand, and while coaxing his little brother, he had already begun to disembowel the chicken.

Seeing the bloody chicken belly being opened, Ye Shaoke felt a sense of nausea, she forcibly suppressed the disgusting, and Ma Xiao cleaned the chicken. Ye Yintao, who was next to him, saw that his sister was busy with work, and he didn't talk to her anymore, just squatting there like that, guarding beside her.

Soon the two chickens were dealt with, Ye Shaoke took out the newly bought big iron pot, put the hen in it, boiled it with boiling water, poured out the previous water, and then put it into the cauldron from the new, put ginger slices, added the space spirit spring, and began to pause.

Thinking that the water would not turn on for a while, Ye Shaoke told Xiao Tao to take care of the fire, and then burn the fire smaller, and pause slowly.

The little guy usually likes to watch the Lan family cook, and naturally he often helps with the fire, so he doesn't have to worry about him.

After Ye Shaoke instructed again, he took the silver, put a basket on his back and went to the village.

There are many things that are lacking at home, even the bowls for eating, there are only enough for one person at home, and there are still many gaps. There were many more, all of which were bought in town that day.

Ye Shaoke first went to the grocery store in the village, the shop was not big, only twenty or thirty square meters, and it was full of things. There are oil, salt, sauce, vinegar tea, some grains, rice and noodles, pots and pans, and even things that women need to use, needlework and thread can be bought here.

It's just that the variety is very single, and as her father said, the price is also a little more expensive than in the town.

Ye Shao couldn't help but sigh at this small sparrow, but the grocery store with all kinds of organs.

Walking to the door of the grocery store, Ye Shaoke looked inside, the business was very deserted, there was only one woman in the room, maybe it was the boss.

Ye Shaoke called softly: "Auntie, I'll buy something." ”

When she heard someone, she stopped what she was doing and looked at the door. A smile quickly appeared on his face, and he got up enthusiastically to greet Ye Shaoke.

"Yikes! It's Xiaoke, hurry up, come in and sit, what do you want to get for you. ”

Ye Shaoke searched in his memory, knowing that this was also a member of their Ye family, her husband died two years ago, she had two sons, and the younger son worked as a partner in a restaurant in the town. The eldest son runs a grocery store in the town, and then thinks that his wife is fine, so he also opened such a house in the village, anyway, the house is also his own, and the goods can be taken from the town, and the family's life in the village is also nourishing.

Retracting his thoughts, Ye Shaoke smiled: "Auntie, I'll buy some dishes and chopsticks." ”

Hearing that there was business, the woman smiled brightly between her eyebrows.

"Okay, come, what you want, you choose." The woman smiled and took Ye Shaoke to the place where the pots and pans were placed.

In the end, Ye Shaoke bought dozens of dishes. I bought another pair of chopsticks, I didn't need to buy chopsticks, and almost all of the people in the countryside used bamboo Xiao, but it was close to noon, and she didn't have so much time to get it.

After choosing these, Ye Shaoke spent a total of more than 70 yuan, mainly those dishes cost several yuan, Ye Shaoke looked at the hundred copper plates in his arms were only about 20, and sighed that the speed of making money was not spending.

The woman helped put the things she bought into the basket that Ye Shaoke carried, and Ye Shaoke thanked him and prepared to leave.

Under the windowsill, in a wooden basin, there was a square of tofu, Ye Shaoke walked over and looked at it, thinking that there was no food at home, just like the woman asked, "Auntie, this tofu is also yours?" ”

Woman, walked over to Ye Shaoke's side. "No, it's the widow Zhang in the village, who puts it here every day and asks me to help her sell it, it's not easy for her to be a widow, so I thought I had to guard the store anyway, so I helped her sell it."

Hearing that it was Widow Zhang, Ye Shaoke remembered the person who fought against Lao Fang twice, and she also helped her family say a lot of things.

"Then aunt, I will buy a piece, how much?" As he spoke, Ye Shaoke touched the copper plate in the pocket in his arms.

"Okay, I'll wrap it for you, this tofu is five pieces of tofu, the tofu made by Widow Zhang is still very delicious, and many families in the village often buy her."

As she spoke, the woman wrapped the tofu with canna leaves soaked in water in another basin.

Ye Shaoke took it and paid the money.

"Auntie, are there any vegetable sellers in our village?" Ye Shaoke thought that there was not a single vegetable at home, and he still had a headache.

"Yo, you want to buy vegetables, Widow Zhang's house has a lot of vegetables, and she and her son can't eat so much, you go to her house to have a look, she should be quite happy to sell it to you."

"Then there will be more aunts, then I'll go to her house to have a look."

Saying goodbye to the woman in the grocery store, Ye Shaoke went to Widow Zhang's house with his memory, on the way, when passing by Zhang's butcher's house, Ye Shaoke remembered that yesterday's pig killing tools had not been returned to others, and she knocked on the door when she thought of this.

It was Zhou, the daughter-in-law of Butcher Zhang, who opened the door, and when Zhou saw that it was Ye Shaoke, he thought that he was here to return her things, so he hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Ye Shaoke in.

Ye Shaoke entered the door a little, and without looking around, she spoke apologetically first.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm really embarrassed, so many things happened in my house yesterday, and for a while, I left the matter of borrowing your tools behind, and I just remembered when I passed by your house today, and I took the time to send it to you in the afternoon."

Hearing Ye Shaoke's words, Zhou's heart was a little unhappy, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Oh, well, you must remember to bring it to me in the afternoon, my family will use it early in the morning."

Ye Shao could see that Zhou's face had changed, and he hurriedly took out ten copper plates from his pocket. She took Zhou's hand, and Zhou was a little unhappy at first, but when she saw the ten copper plates in her hand, her eyes lit up.

"Yo, Xiao Ke, what are you doing here? Let's be a villager, borrow a tool, and use the money? After Zhou said this, he didn't mean to return the copper plate to Ye Shaoke, and Ye Shaoke didn't show his original strange look.

"There, as it should be, it should be a red envelope and a good fortune." Ye Shaoke said.

Originally, she felt that it was not good to borrow other people's eating tools, but after giving the money, she didn't have to owe people favors. Besides, at first glance, Zhou is a person who likes to be greedy and cheap, and after giving the money, she will not be criticized in the village in the future.

"Look at you, now you are getting more and more handsome, I heard that your beauty shop will open the day after tomorrow, and when the time comes, Aunt Zhang and I will go to give you a cheer, but you have to make me the same as that Ye Yang's?"

"Then Xiao Ke thank you Aunt Zhang, don't worry, as long as you come often in the future, can I help you become in your early twenties?"

Zhou's age is in her early thirties, about the same as Lan's, but she looks pretty good, maybe because she is too fat, she has a lot of collagen in her skin, which may have something to do with her family selling pork.

"Really! If so, I have to thank you! I think I was slim back then, and it looks like it is now! If I could lose weight, I would be willing to live ten years less! ”

In fact, Zhou's is still good, he speaks straightforwardly, and everything is written on his face. At least that's what Ye Shaoke thinks now.
