023 Chrysanthemum
Besides, Hua Ronghua, ran from the alley next to the West Street to the East Street in one breath, she was tired and panting, almost fell to the ground with weak legs, and leaned against the wall at the mouth of the alley for a while before panting.
It's really unlucky, I came out to buy dinner but I didn't expect to encounter such a neurotic, not only the eggs I bought, but even the seasonings were lost, and only the steamed buns hanging on the waist were left! Thanks to these steamed buns that were not put in the basket, otherwise they would have been lost.
Hua Ronghua wiped her eyes, and greeted the eighteenth generation of Gongxi Chu's ancestors in her heart, and when her mood calmed down, the sun was about to set, there was no way, Hua Ronghua had to go shopping for vegetables again, this time she went directly to the restaurant to pack two dishes.
"Lady, you're back." Aunt He was waiting at the gate, and when she saw that the person was back, she breathed a sigh of relief, and took the food box in Hua Ronghua's hand, "I'll take it, lady." ”
Mrs. Lu, who had been hungry for a long time, gave Hua Ronghua a blank look, "When you buy your vegetables, the daylilies are cold." ”
"If you don't like to wait, don't wait!" Hua Ronghua went out for a long run, and when he met a madman who lost something, not to mention, his twisted arm still hurts, and his breath is naturally not good.
"You ......" Mrs. Lu, who still wanted to teach people, saw the food that Aunt He took out of the food box, and her eyes lit up all of a sudden, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork belly stewed with tofu!
Lu Wenping's originally unhappy mood when he saw these two dishes also lightened a lot, he glanced at Hua Ronghua, whose face was a little pale, and said softly: "The lady is tired, right?" Sit down and eat! ”
This was the quietest meal the Lu family had ever had, and everyone was so busy putting vegetables in their mouths that they didn't have time to speak.
After eating, handing over the kitchen to Aunt He, Hua Ronghua went back to his house, and Lu Wenping also came in.
"Something?" Hua Ronghua asked in a stiff tone.
Lu Wenping's originally smiling face froze for a moment, and then he said a little uncomfortably: "I'll tell the lady something." Could it be that Hua Niang is still angry about her mother's words at dinner just now?
Hua Ronghua also felt that he had a bad attitude just now, so he turned his head to the side and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Uh, you didn't miss dinner today, did you? In the future, I will still cook it at home and eat it myself, which can save some. "Actually, Lu Wenping ate a lot tonight, but if he went to the street to buy every meal, I was afraid that his monthly salary of more than three taels would not be enough to fill the mouth of this family!
"I know, I'll start cooking tomorrow, and today I'm cleaning up the kitchen." Hua Ronghua nodded happily.
After the two of them had said what they should have said, the room fell into an unspeakable embarrassment, they should be the two closest people in the world, but now they have become the two strangest people because of a different soul.
"Well, it's late, you go to rest, I'll wash up and go to sleep in a while." Hua Ronghua opened his mouth first.
Lu Wenping was a little disappointed, the lady used to be so tightly entangled with herself, why is she like a stranger now? Is it because of the Jiang family? "Actually, it's my mother's meaning to buy Jiang's!"
"Huh?" Hua Ronghua was stunned for a moment before he realized that Lu Wenping was explaining to himself the matter between him and Jiang Lan, and he couldn't help but feel funny, buying a concubine is what Mrs. Lu meant, so Mrs. Lu picked up your pants and pushed you to bed?
I wanted to stab him twice, but after thinking about it, they were not familiar with each other, so they nodded perfunctorily, "Oh, I know." ”
Hua Ronghua's cold attitude made Lu Wenping a little unable to get off the stage, I have already spoken soft words to you, you are still making pettiness! Then he said angrily: "Then you rest, I'll go to Jiang's room!" ”
After waiting for a while, he didn't see Hua Ronghua staying or crying, Lu Wenping couldn't help but get more and more angry, and really went to Jiang's room.
Hua Ronghua felt that Lu Wenping was angry, but they didn't know each other in the first place, and Mrs. Lu often shouted that she wanted to take a break from herself, she felt that she couldn't coax people with a hot face and a cold ass, not to mention that she was bullied today and no one comforted herself!
At night, Hua Ronghua tied the door to wet a cotton handkerchief with hot water to wipe her body, only to find that her left arm that was grabbed by someone was also blue, and five blue-black fingerprints were clearly printed on the snow-white skin, which looked quite shocking!
"It seems to be all bruised, this bastard, curse you to choke to death when you drink water, choke to death when you eat, and suffocate to death with urine!" Hua Ronghua gave a warm compress to his arm and scolded the culprit again.
——
At this time, in the guest room behind the county office, Gongxi Chu sneezed three times in a row, bluffing Mo An, who had just entered the door, "Master, are you okay?" Does it hurt again? ”
"Someone must be talking about me." Gong Xichu rubbed his nose and asked, "How is it?" Did you find the woman? ”
Mo An shook his head, "Xiao Yi asked all the vendors and Xiao Er in the vicinity, and everyone said that it was the first time they had seen that woman, and they should not have walked on that street before." ”
"You're a piece of shit!" Gongxi Chu kicked Mo An with hatred and steel, but he didn't think about it, but he was injured, and he grinned in pain.
"Master, don't move." Mo An hurriedly comforted his master, "You have to take care of it, otherwise what if this thing can't be used in the future?" As soon as he finished speaking, Mo An hurriedly covered his mouth, why did he accidentally say what was in his heart?
Gong Xichu sneered and squinted at him, "Why don't you come and verify whether your master's object is still good or not?" ”
"No, no, no!" Mo An felt that his chrysanthemum was cold air, and immediately clamped his legs, his head shook like a rattle, "I'll go find someone for you, don't try me, if you want to try, try that woman!" ”
"You're still standing here!"
Mo An hurriedly answered and ran out, but collided with someone at the door, "Ouch, you don't have long eyes...... Huh, Mo Yan? You're back? ”
Mo Yan, who was holding a sword, glanced at Mo An without saying a word, bypassed him and entered the house, Mo An's eyes rolled and followed the house, as for looking for someone, didn't you see that it was dark, and I will look for it tomorrow.
"Lord, master, Li, Master Li, tomorrow will be here." In the room, Mo Yanzheng frowned slightly, and talked back to Gongxi Chu seriously.
"Okay, go back and ask Li Wenhao, where is the house he is looking for us, and then we will clean up and move in, and we won't stay in the county government to annoy people."
As soon as Gong Xichu's words fell, Mo Yan responded respectfully with his fists clasped in both hands.
Mo An looked at it and pouted secretly, isn't it in the army, as for being so serious?!
"Lord, master, what's wrong with you?" Mo Yan found that his master's posture sitting on the chair was a little weird, so he couldn't help but ask.
Gong Xichu's face darkened, "It's okay, let's go down." ”
Mo Yan didn't believe it, the master was obviously in trouble! I wanted to ask again but was dragged away by Mo An, forget it, it's the same to ask Mo An.
After the two little servants left the house, Gongxi Chu scolded in a low voice: "Dead woman, don't let me catch you!" ”
In the courtyard outside the house, Mo Yan listened to Mo An finish about what happened to his master in the afternoon, and suddenly became angry, pointing at Mo An, "You, you, you damn it......"
"Go, go, I feel bad when I listen to you, why should I die?" Mo An knocked away Mo Yan's hand pointing at him, looking unconvinced.
"You, you, you let your master get hurt!" Mo Yan, who was in a hurry, blushed in a hurry.
mentioned that Gongxi Chu was injured, Mo An was also a little weak-hearted, "How did I know that this woman in this small county town was so splashy!" It's really a poor mountain and a bad water! He hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, the master has already asked me to find someone, and it is not up to the master to decide what to do with the person when he is arrested, and he will definitely be able to get out of this evil breath when the time comes!" ”
"Go, go get someone!" Mo Yan pointed to the courtyard gate airway.
"Oh, how to find it when it's dark this day, wait for tomorrow, tomorrow I'll borrow a few catches from Master Li, and turn that street upside down, I don't believe I can't catch her!" Mo An is also angry, because such an irrelevant woman is scolded and almost lost her chrysanthemum! You can't spare her.
Not to mention that the three masters and servants here gritted their teeth at Hua Ronghua, just said that Hua Ronghua got up early the next morning and took Aunt He to the kitchen.
I steamed a pot of rice, then picked up a cabbage and stewed it with the leftover tofu soup from last night.
After breakfast, Hua Ronghua took Aunt He to the door to buy vegetables, this time she didn't dare to go to West Street, for fear of meeting the man from yesterday again.
I bought peanut oil, soy sauce and other seasonings again, Hua Ronghua went to the grain store again, and bought ten catties of rice, five catties of white flour, and five catties of bud grain noodles.
"Can you carry it?" Hua Ronghua looked at the bamboo basket behind Aunt He and sighed in her heart, Aunt He was still smiling secretly when she took this basket when she went out, thinking that she had no place to use it, but when she used it, she found that she was still thoughtful.
"I'll be able to carry another ten pounds!" Aunt He was beaming with joy and secretly happy in her heart: I can finally eat white rice!
"Okay, then let's go buy some food!" Hua Ronghua saw that Aunt He didn't mean to be reckless, so she didn't ask any more, and took her directly to the butcher shop.
I bought two big bones of a pound of pork belly in the butcher's shop, and then went to the grocery store to buy dried chilies, star anise, dried ginger, and sugar.
"Shopkeeper, do you sell vegetables here?" Hua Ronghua couldn't help but ask.
"Well, there are." The shopkeeper was stunned, the people who lived on East Street had a fixed person delivering food to the door, and it was the first time I saw someone buying vegetables in a grocery store! "This bag of potatoes was consigned by my fellow villagers, along with fungus, sweet potatoes, dried vegetables, and by the way, a jar of sauerkraut."
Hua Ronghua saw that the bag of potatoes was not very big, so he asked for it all in one go, and weighed five catties of sweet potatoes and one catty of fungus, so he finally spent two pennies to ask the shopkeeper to send these dishes to his home.
"What are you buying these potatoes for?" When Mrs. Lu saw the bag of potatoes, she immediately shouted.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly took his two pennies and ran away, for fear that Mrs. Lu would ask him to carry the potatoes back.
"It's greasy to eat cabbage all day long, so eat it differently." Hua Ronghua kindly explained.
