Chapter 62: Petitioners in the Town

Chapter 62

Because he bought a lot, the shopkeeper of the grain store gave a small bag of bud rice noodles with a smile, and asked people to help load it up and put it on the trolley. [Full text reading. 】

Then I bought a lot of green onions, ginger, garlic and cinnamon, and the like, and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar did not fall, anyway, I bought it all in one go.

Lin Baozhu thought that his man didn't seem to have thin shirts and clothes, so he simply took him to the cloth village again. The navy blue cloth was torn more than a dozen feet from his body, and he bought some three-shuttle cloth to make the upper for him.

It's just over half an hour, and the trolleys that were just empty are full. Even the basket was filled with a lot of things, but there was no space at all.

After a big purchase, the sun will be at the top. Zhang Manchu felt that he was panicking when he walked back at this time, he didn't care about himself, but he couldn't help worrying about his daughter-in-law's small body.

After thinking about it, he simply took his daughter-in-law to buy two pots of wine, and then took his daughter-in-law all the way to the alley east of the town.

I heard that I was going to visit friends, but Lin Baozhu didn't think it was strange, after all, when a man's family was walking outside, how could he not have three or five brothers and friends who could talk about it? Thinking about the first shàng mén, she also asked the brother if there were any female dependents and children, and after knowing that there was a daughter-in-law and a half-grown daughter in the family, Lin Baozhu also specially bought some snacks to bring with them.

Zhang Manchu is just a grass man, in addition to being attentive to his daughter-in-law, he will be meticulous everywhere. For other people's daughters-in-law, but they have never taken it to heart, so even if they go many times, they just bring some wine and food, and they really haven't thought about buying anything for their younger siblings and children. Thinking of this, he felt more and more that it was really right to marry a daughter-in-law.

Lin Baozhu was stared at by the man's naked fiery gaze, and he was a little shy in his heart, but his face was just red, so he just glanced at the man with disgust, and then paid for the wrapped snacks by himself.

On the way, the two of them talked and walked. Xu Shi'er was really hot, but after such a short while, beads of sweat appeared on Zhang Manchu's face, and even the front and back of the clothes seemed to be soaked. However, compared to the cultivation of the land on the mountain, the 180 catties of objects on the car are not heavy, but they are not exposed.

Seeing his man's face unchanged but sweaty, Lin Baozhu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and took out a handkerchief from his arms to help him wipe the sweat on his forehead.

Speaking of which, when she first came to this world, there was no paper wipes, which she really felt very inconvenient. Later, I saw that Qian and Aunt Tian would bring a handkerchief to wipe their sweat and hands, so they cut a small piece of light cyan cloth and asked Aunt Tian to help sew it as a handkerchief.

It's great to use now.

Zhang Manchu was stunned by his daughter-in-law's actions, and immediately pursed his lips, as if he wanted to laugh. This warm and affectionate relationship, someone happened to come out of the dilapidated alley that was a little defeated and smelled musty, and he greeted Zhang Manchu and his family from afar.

"Brother Zhang, why are you here?" The man walked over quickly, saw Lin Baozhu, and asked again, "This is my brother and sister?" ”

Zhang Manchu looked at his daughter-in-law with a smile, and seemed to nod proudly, "Well, my daughter-in-law." ”

That look, alive and clear. It wasn't until the man called out to his sister-in-law a few times that the three of them entered the alley with a smile.

There are only two households in this alley, and one of them has a locked door all year round, and it seems that the yard is empty. The other family is Shi Dayong's family, who just greeted Zhang Manchu.

When a few people entered the courtyard, Shi Dayong shouted at the house: "Xiuniang, come out quickly, Brother Zhang and his younger siblings are here." ”

As soon as he had finished saying this, a woman with a blue headscarf wiped her hands with an apron wrapped in front of her. Seeing the person coming, the woman also had a smile on her face, and hurriedly asked Shi Dayong to move the table and bench.

And a half-grown girl behind her also looked at Lin Baozhu timidly, as if she was a little embarrassed.

"Zhao Di, what are you hiding, hurry up and call your aunt." Shi Dayong's daughter-in-law is named Zhang Xiuniang, who is the daughter of Zhang Laohan's family in the town, and she is very enthusiastic when she looks at her thin and weak. And not only is he capable, but he is also virtuous, and he keeps his home in order inside and out.

It is also because of this that Shi Dayong also values her, and has never treated his daughter-in-law harshly or beaten and bullied his daughter-in-law like other people's men. Even if his daughter-in-law has only added a daughter to him over the years, she has never had the intention of divulging his wife.

Zhang Manchu took advantage of the gap between a few people entering the house and explained to his daughter-in-law in a low voice, which made Lin Baozhu have a very good impression of Shi Dayong, who he had just met.

Now I see that Zhang Xiuniang is busy pouring water and cleaning up, she is quite enthusiastic, and her heart is no longer unnatural. Seeing the girl behind her, she was only seven or eight years old, but she was very well-behaved, and she naturally liked it.

Listening to the girl obediently call her aunt, and then followed behind Zhang Xiuniang like a little tail, Lin Baozhu couldn't help laughing.

After thinking about it, she lifted the package with snacks in her hand and said, "Zhao Di, let's see what delicious food my aunt has brought you." Seeing Zhao Di's curious probe, she consciously opened the paper bag with a smile, and there were really a lot of preserved fruits and sugar cubes in it.

"Come, my aunt will bring you candy cubes to eat."

Although she felt that Lin Baozhu was very kind, and she also wanted to eat candy, she still looked at her mother first, and did not run over to eat it like other leather children.

Zhang Xiuniang smiled at Lin Baozhu a little embarrassedly, and then said, "You can call a few more aunts." ”

These words allowed Zhao Di to take over the food in Lin Baozhu's hands, which made Lin Baozhu feel that Zhang Xiuniang was really virtuous for a while. Not only tidy up the yard house, but also very good at teaching children.

After a few people talked for a while, Zhang Xiuniang took Lin Baozhu to the back room, and by the way, she collected the tea on the small table and let the two gentlemen drink. waited until the two men had almost drunk before going to cook.

There is not much rice and noodles at home, but since there are distinguished guests, they can't save it. So Zhang Xiuniang ruthlessly dug out the last bit of white noodles and put it on, and then beat two eggs to make an egg soup.

Although Lin Baozhu came to be a guest, he was not embarrassed to stay alone in the back room, so when he saw that Zhang Xiuniang and Zhao Di were busy in the stove room, he hurriedly followed.

said that he was a handful, but he was just helping to light the fire and saying a few words along the way. When the two of them entered the house with food, they heard Shi Dayong drinking too much and talking about Zhang Erbao's son with a big tongue.

Zhang Manchu, who was still full of interest, looked up and saw his daughter-in-law coming, and quickly frowned and coughed a few times, seeing that Shi Dayong couldn't stop talking, and even said that he found someone to go to the two old wives in Shilipu Village who liked to see people's jokes and spread the words of Widow Du in the ears, but I really didn't expect that the mother-in-law really blocked people. His face sank directly, and he began to dodge his daughter-in-law's gaze again, for fear that his daughter-in-law would think that he was a cunning person and would be tired of himself.

Just thinking of his daughter-in-law's questioning eyes, Zhang Manchu felt uncomfortable, and immediately stretched out his foot and kicked Shi Dayong, who You said, proudly. Seeing that Shi Dayong was still not enlightened, he smiled and asked thoughtfully: "Brother Zhang, why did you drink too much?" I poured you three jars of sorghum wine last time, and I didn't see your legs weak."

Seeing that Shi Dayong said more and more, Zhang Manchu really felt that he couldn't look at it directly. At that moment, he just brought a big bowl full of wine to cover his face, and didn't let Shi Dayong lift himself anymore.

Zhang Xiuniang, who came in later, was a woman's family, and her mind would be more careful, and she saw Zhang Manchu's embarrassed demeanor and the appearance of his man drinking too much with his tongue. Looking at Lin Baozhu, who had just entered the door to deliver food, with a curious and puzzled expression, he was afraid that his man would make another old mistake, and he would be nonsense if he drank too much, so he immediately took two steps forward and talked to Lin Baozhu with a smile.

"Don't talk to him, you can't talk about it after a few drinks of cat urine." As he spoke, he went over and pushed Shi Dayong, and asked Zhao Di to help wash the cloth towel and wipe Shi Dayong's face.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law came to reprimand him, Shi Dayong just laughed at her, and then called Zhao Di to say good things about his daughter. In fact, Shi Dayong also has a hard life, he originally had a father, but his father and mother looked down on his daughter-in-law and couldn't give birth, and secondly, he always felt that he was a great thing to be an errand in the yamen, and he always looked for some trouble, and he was thinking about using filial piety to pressure him to marry a small good heirloom.

But how can he do such a conscience thing, his daughter-in-law didn't give birth to a son, but it was also because he hurt his body when he was recruiting for his own childbirth. What's more, since his daughter-in-law married him, he has been supporting the elderly, taking care of the family, managing all kinds of things in the family, and even swallowing his anger for himself, these are all things he owes to his daughter-in-law. If that's the case, he has to find another woman, then he really doesn't deserve to be a man.

Having said that, Shi Dayong personally begged his daughter-in-law to marry him, but he had to be a negative man for a few years, and he really couldn't do that kind of thing. He doesn't understand any big truth, but he also knows that a bad wife cannot be abandoned. No matter how bad his daughter-in-law is, he just doesn't have the throbbing of the year, and he also asked for it back, and there is no reason to abandon it.

It was also because of all the troubles inside that Shi Dayong resigned from the errand of the county government and went to Anping Town as a small patrolman. In this way, the family is dragged away, and it can be regarded as staying away from their own father and mother who love to take care of people and the brothers who are always not too big of a problem.

After eating, the sun was also in the west, and seeing that Shi Dayong was really drunk, Zhang Manchu and Lin Baozhu also said goodbye.

Xu was teasing Zhao Di before, which made the originally timid and cowardly little girl feel happy. Or maybe Lin Baozhu's dim sum snacks worked, and the girl who was still timid when they first met, at this time, she trotted all the way to the mouth of the alley, and blushed and whispered to ask Lin Baozhu if she would come back next.
