There are many damaged places on the street, the shops are not so spacious, and the clothes of the little two who welcome people at the door are also as bad as those on East Street, and there are more hawkers on the street than there, and the clothes are more shabby.

Where is this? Hua Ronghua's heart, which was immersed in cold water, flickered and lifted again.

She stood in place and looked around and didn't understand, and it happened that Xiao Er from a steamed bun shop next to her greeted her, "This lady comes into the store to eat two steamed buns, the steamed buns of our Wang Ji steamed bun shop are famous in the entire West Street." ”

West Street? Hua Ronghua seems to have heard Lu Wenping say that the West Street of the county is also near the county office, but the conditions are worse than that of the East Street, there are more middle and lower class people living there, and the tile market where the villagers come to sell things is also located on the West Street.

Thinking of this, Hua Ronghua deliberately smiled and asked, "It is famous in the entire West Street, but what about East Street?" ”

Xiao Er is honest, "To be honest, I'm new to the countryside, and I haven't eaten the buns on East Street yet!" However, our steamed buns are absolutely delicious, and if they are not delicious, you won't come next time! ”

Hua Ronghua laughed when she said this, this is really true, she didn't eat enough in the morning, and she was indeed a little hungry at this time, so she raised her feet and walked into the bun shop, "It's okay, bring me two meat, two vegetarian, and a bowl of porridge!" ”

"Okay!"

After a while, the buns and porridge were served.

Take a bite, the fragrant meat filling is dripping oil, it is really delicious, Hua Ronghua ate all the buns into his stomach in a few bites, and after drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, he began to eat vegetarian stuffing.

The vegetarian stuffing is cabbage, and it is also mixed with meat oil, although it is better than the fried cabbage of the Lu family, it is far worse than the meat bun.

In the end, Hua Ronghua ate two meat buns, a vegetarian bun and a bowl of porridge.

Before leaving, Hua Ronghua asked for four more meat buns to pack and leave.

After inquiring clearly, he was indeed standing on West Street, which was separated from East Street by the long alleys, and Hua Ronghua was not in a hurry, but walked around the street.

I have to say that the price on the West Street is generally cheaper than on the East Street, take pork as an example, a pound of pork belly on the East Street is 35 Wen, and the West Street is only 33 Wen, a whole two Wen cheaper, like other cloth, grain and oil are also cheaper than the East Street, of course, the quality is not as good as over there, this is the so-called penny you get what you want.

Especially the cabbage, radishes and eggs that the countrymen carry to sell are much cheaper!

Hua Ronghua walked around, the soles of the feet hurt when he shopped, and in the end he didn't buy anything, he walked back with the buns, and he blamed the shoes on his feet.

Because she couldn't find out which alley the Lu family was in, she just found an alley and got in. This alley is really not the alley where the Lu family is located, but fortunately, Hua Ronghua can find the right way on East Street.

But she was just about to turn around the alley of the Lu family, and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to buy salt again, and she was almost scolded by Mrs. Lu yesterday for not buying salt, and she didn't want to be scolded again today. Hua Wenhua dragged his sore legs and feet to the nearest salt shop and spent fifty yuan to buy a pound of salt, and then returned to Lu's house.

As soon as he approached the alley of the Lu family, Hua Ronghua saw another circle of people in front of the Lu family from a distance. How? Could it be that the merchant from yesterday is here again?

When I got closer, I found that it was not the merchant, but the people in the east courtyard of the Lu family, who were moving things in and out of the carriage, as if they were going to move, and the neighbors nearby were standing and watching the excitement.

"This Mrs. Chen is too picky, she didn't even drop the toilet!" It's a pity that it's Mrs. Sun who is amazed.

Zhao Niangzi was concerned about another matter, "I heard that this Chen scribe went with the previous county commander, you said that he was also promoted, right?" ”

"It is not necessary to be promoted or not, but it is better to stay in Jiangnan for a few years than to be a scribe in Anping County here for a lifetime!" It was a straight, white and chubby old woman who spoke with oil, her hair was oiled and neatly combed, and she was wearing a dark purple half-arm with a longevity pattern.

"Ah, Sister Zhou, are you back?" Mrs. Lu, who was originally standing at the door watching the excitement, immediately cried out in surprise when she saw the fat woman, walked quickly through the alley, and came to the fat woman, "When did you come back?" I miss my sister to death these days. ”

The fat woman is the mother of the scribe Zhou who lives diagonally opposite the door to the east of the Lu family, and it is said that she used to work in the prefect's house, and she is the old lady who has seen the most of the world in the neighborhood.

There are few old ladies living in this alley, and Mrs. Lu is from the countryside, and she highly respects some of the 'world' that Mrs. Zhou said, Mrs. Lu bought a concubine for her son, learned it from Mrs. Zhou, and found a female red master for her granddaughter to listen to Mrs. Zhou, so the two are old girlfriends who have a better relationship.

Mrs. Zhou patted Mrs. Lu and grabbed her hand excitedly, and said with a smile: "Last night, I didn't alarm you when I came back too late, I just went out to see my sister!" I haven't seen you in a few days, but you've lost a lot of weight! ”

"Are you skinny?" Mrs. Lu touched her face, "Then I have to make up for it." ”

"The lady is sick, and the old lady is worried about the affairs of the family these days, can she not lose weight?" Jiang Lan, who was standing behind Mrs. Lu, was unwilling to be lonely, "Mrs. Zhou, you have to persuade my old lady, but don't get tired!" ”

Jiang Lan, who thought she would be praised, was unexpectedly cold, Mrs. Zhou didn't look at her at all, and even Mrs. Lu frowned, as if she was extremely dissatisfied with her interjection.

Sun Niangzi, who was watching the excitement on the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Who should you not talk to Mrs. Zhou, you should talk to Yan Niang in the back!" ”

Zhao Niangzi also glanced at Jiang Lan with disdain, "Don't look at your identity?" Shame on yourself! ”

Jiang Lan's face turned red all of a sudden, tears rolled in her eyes, she bit her lip and twisted her head to the side, but she saw Hua Ronghua standing behind several people, and she didn't know how much she heard.

"Lady, Mrs. Zhou is talking to you!" Jiang Lan thought that these two old ladies couldn't look down on Hua Ronghua, and they couldn't make her feel better.

A few people who were talking in a bunch turned around and found Hua Ronghua who had come back from the west, and for a while everyone's eyes looked at her, wanting to see how this wife and concubine were going to fight.

Hua Ronghua has been coming over for a while, but everyone didn't notice her, and they also listened to what Jiang Lan and Mrs. Zhou said, so they were very disgusted by Jiang Lan's obviously provocative words at this time.

If she goes back directly according to her original temper, she will ignore it directly if she is gentle. But the key is that Jiang Lan pulled Mrs. Zhou in, and in full view of everyone, Hua Ronghua will give people the impression of not caring for the elderly and disrespecting her mother-in-law.
