Volume 1 Chapter 29 Gift-giving
At noon on the second day, Bu leisurely came to Xiao Liu's noodle stall according to what the second aunt said.
There are big restaurants in the capital, and dignitaries like to ask for a private room over there to talk and chat, but for a small county like Dian County, the people can't afford to consume such a grade, so the noodle stalls and tea stalls have become a good place for friends to gather.
Walking leisurely as promised, Li Yan had been waiting here for a long time, and ordered two bowls of noodles for the two.
In modern times, Bu Youran has also been on a blind date, most of them are big hotels, high-end, high-consumption, high-grade, eat steak and drink a little red wine.
And now, Bu Youran is holding chopsticks and picking up noodles, and the two of them are looking at each other, staring at each other with big eyes, there is a kind of indescribable ...... Novelty!
Bu Youran wanted to laugh in her heart, but because of Li Yan's face, she endured it.
"Would you like another bowl?" Li Yan looked at the leisurely steps, and even finished eating and drinking the noodle soup, and couldn't help asking.
Bu leisurely waved his hand, Mom, this is already the third bowl!
Li Yan also put down his chopsticks, pursed his lips, and said shyly, "I...... I'm not very good at talking, I haven't read, I'm illiterate, I'm half a rough man," he touched the back of his head with his hand, "uh, would you like some water?" ”
Bu leisurely watched him rub his hands repeatedly, looking really nervous, according to this shape, I was afraid that the two of them would not get to the point if they drank ten bowls of water again.
"Li Yan, you are very good." Bu Youran decided to open the topic and gave him a preventive shot first.
"Thank you." Li Yan thought he was praising him, and lowered his head embarrassedly.
Bu Youran was embarrassed, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for going around in circles with such a simple person.
Before she could continue to explain, the crowd began to stir, surging towards the west in waves.
"What's wrong?" Bu leisurely looked at the owner of the noodle stall.
The boss wiped his hands with a scarf and said excitedly, "You two don't know? ”
Bu Youran and Li Yan looked at each other, saying that they didn't know.
"Today, a new family moved to our village, saying that he invited the villagers to his house to eat and drink, and invited them for three days in a row, without giving gifts." The boss was happy, "Are you two going to continue eating here?" Or is it ...... Where to use it? ”
"This ......" Li Yan looked embarrassed, after all, he hadn't heard of anyone going on a blind date at someone else's house.
If you really say it, it's really embarrassing.
The boss is an acquaintance, and he understands Li Yan's difficulties, so he generously said, "In this way, you two can stay as long as you want, just help me put this bowl of chopsticks back in the basin when you leave." ”
Li Yan agreed.
The surrounding people are going more and more, dragging their families and mouths, chattering, extremely lively, and they have long covered up the sound of Bu Youran and Li Yan's talking.
Li Yan looked at Bu Youran in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Bu Youran couldn't hear it at all, she vaguely guessed it from his mouth.
The two of them returned home with deep helplessness, one to the west and the other to the east.
Walking leisurely in the direction of the crowd, the closer to home, the more people, and when it was still ten meters away from the second uncle's house, the crowd was already surrounded by water.
Step leisurely squeezed and squeezed, squeezed so that the hair was already messy, but it was still stubbornly sandwiched in the middle, and it was impossible to enter or retreat.
After about half an hour, she went into the new mansion and sat down at the table.
Bu Youran originally had no appetite, but when she saw the 10 dishes on the table, she couldn't help but stimulate her taste buds and feasted on it.
As a result, it really verified the sentence "vertically in, horizontally out".
When Bu leisurely returned to the second uncle's house, it was already dark, the second aunt was not cooking, and the second uncle was sitting in the yard with a cigarette holder.
Bu Youran dragged his legs, which had been weighed down by his stomach, and shouted, "Second uncle." ”
The second uncle glanced up at her and snorted.
The second aunt heard Bu Youran's voice and ran out of the house, "What's the matter?" How is the blind date today? ”
Bu leisurely replied, "It's good." ”
The second aunt mistakenly thought that she was responding to this family, so she excitedly took Bu Youran's hand and entered the house, and forced her two clothes, saying that it was sent by Daddy Li today.
Bu Youran wanted to refuse, but the second aunt said that she couldn't refute the hospitality, and said that since she came to the village, her clothes have been back and forth, and they have long been wrinkled and shabby.
Bu Youran saw that it was not easy to push back, so he thought about accepting it first, and then turning around and giving the money to Li Yan, as if she had bought it.
Bu leisurely saw that the second uncle had not come in, as if he had something on his mind, so he asked, "What's wrong with the second uncle?" ”
"Not the neighbor yet?"
"New moves?"
The second aunt nodded, "Your second uncle is also okay to think about, I feel deliberately arrogant when I see other people's banquets for three days, I am not a good person, and I will give a special gift to our family today, I opened my eyes, my mother, any thing is something that I can't afford to save money in my life." ”
Bu leisurely said happily, "That's a good thing, you can take it for you." ”
"Your second uncle refuses, it's not that people have nothing to do." The second aunt glared at the second uncle who was squatting in the yard.
Bu Youran shook his head and smiled, "Second uncle, this is etiquette, and it is also like this in the capital." If you don't feel sure, I'll buy some eggs for them to take over tomorrow, although the price is not as good as what they give, but it is still a gift. ”
The second aunt nodded, but the second uncle still didn't squeak.
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Bu leisurely took leave, first went to the market to buy two catties of eggs, and then went back to change into new clothes.
The door of the newly moved house was closed, and there were two knocks on the step, but no one answered.
Could it be too early?
Step leisurely muttered mentally.
She was about to turn around with the egg in her hand when suddenly the door opened from the inside.
A woman in her thirties walked out, thinking that she was the owner of the house, and hurriedly said, "Madam, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
The woman looked at her steps and replied with a smile, "I'm not a lady. ”
Not Madame? Don't...... Is it a concubine?
The woman seemed to see what Bu Youran was thinking, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
Bu Youran thought of the egg, and hurriedly handed it over, "I am a neighbor who lives next to you, we are a small place, there are no valuable things, this egg is good, purely artificially raised, not fake, Huang Da." ”
The woman looked down at her words, then took it, thanked her, and closed the door.
Bu leisurely stunned outside the door.
That's it...... Done?
Why do you feel a little blocked in your heart?
……
Bu leisurely went back in a trance, and the second aunt saw her asking about the situation, and she described it roughly.
The second aunt frowned, "Do you dislike us for having too few gifts?" ”
Bu leisurely shook his head, "Not like that." ”
"I'll visit you in person tomorrow." The second aunt was a little worried, "It's really not good, just listen to your second uncle and return all the things they brought." ”
Step nodded leisurely.
After noon, I walked leisurely to Daddy Li's shop, which was also quite magical, because she wore a new goose yellow dress from Daddy Li's shop, the color was eye-catching, and the girls in the county chased the 'trend', so they competed to buy.
For the effect, he also wears a newly bloomed yellow wildflower behind his ear, which brings out a rustic atmosphere.
Daddy Li's shop became popular, and the reputation of Bu Youran and Li Yan also went out, but they were rumored to be 'husband and wife', and the more they talked about it, the more outrageous it became, saying that they had already been married, but it had not been made public.
Bu Youran knew that the people had no malicious intentions, but she was a little depressed when she said this, and she became a married woman inexplicably.
In the evening of this day, Bu leisurely returned home and couldn't help but be startled when he saw the gift boxes on the table.
"What is this?" She looked at the second aunt who came out of the back room and asked urgently.
The second aunt looked sad, "Isn't it the new one?" Do you want to talk about evil sects? Where is anyone so fond of gift-giving? I asked my neighbor who lived in another house, but they didn't take it and gave it to us. ”
Bu Youran first breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't Daddy Li's dowry. But soon he muttered again, could it be that there are really people in the world who hate a lot of money and be a 'wealth boy'?
At this time, the second uncle came back with his hands behind his back.
"You told the village chief about this?" The second aunt stepped forward.
The second uncle held an empty cigarette pouch in his hand and knocked on the wall, "The village chief said that it is not in the way, the person who lives there is a good family, let us accept it with confidence." ”
"What kind of family background can you say?" The second aunt then asked.
"The village chief won't let me ask so much." The second uncle was still worried, "In my opinion, it's not small, I saw four people carrying a sedan chair in last night." ”
