Chapter 23: What are you afraid of?
The Zhang family stayed until the evening, and Xu Guangshi and his wife left them for dinner, refusing to say anything.
Xu Rujuan sent people out of the gate with her parents, and Zhang Mingliang looked at her several times in a row.
"If you send it, let's go back." Mother Zhang smiled and waved at them, "Rujuan, don't run out all the time, wait for the New Year's Moon to pick you up!" ”
Xu Rujuan lowered her eyebrows and did not speak.
Back in the back room, Li Xiuqin opened the meal with dishes and chopsticks, asked them about their trip to the township today, and said a few words about the Zhang family, but Xu Rujuan didn't talk much during the whole process.
In the evening, Xu Rujiao pulled the eldest sister and whispered: "What's wrong eldest sister, you have been unhappy since you came back, it was that Zhang Mingliang who bullied you?" ”
The person next to him was silent for a moment in the dark: "No, go to sleep, I have to go to the countryside tomorrow." ”
Xu Rujiao opened her mouth and didn't ask again.
The next day, Xu Guangshi went to the township by himself, Zhang Dayong had already rubbed the sunflower plate, and the sunflower seeds in two large pockets were hung heavily on the back seat of the bicycle.
He paid the money, didn't dare to delay, and immediately rode his bicycle to his home, the first time he did this, Xu Guangshi was scared, just looking forward to getting home soon.
Seeing a familiar back halfway through, Xu Guangshi accelerated the frequency of pedaling the bicycle and wanted to get around quickly.
"Third brother-in-law?"
"Third brother-in-law!"
"Xu Guangshi!"
Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, Xu Guangshi wanted to pretend that he couldn't hear it, so he stopped the car helplessly and looked at the person who stopped him: "Red Army, what's the matter?" ”
- It is Li Xiulan's husband Ma Hongjun, his brother-in-law.
"Are you going to the countryside? What are you pulling such two big bags" Ma Hongjun looked back and forth curiously, and wanted to get started and turn it over.
"Nothing, buy some food." Xu Guangshi pretended to be calm, and when he saw that he was coming, he immediately kicked up his bicycle and ran, "I'll go first, I'm still waiting for the rice to go to the pot at home!" ”
"Huh! Third brother-in-law, wait, take me for a while......" Ma Hongjun shouted from behind.
Xu Guangshi has already ridden like the wind and disappeared.
"This Xu Guangshi!" Ma Hongjun snorted angrily, and when he got home, he was a little unhappy to talk to Li Xiulan about it, "I wanted to take a ride, but he ran away, as if a wolf was chasing him behind him." ”
Li Xiulan thought more: "You said he was pulling two big bags of things in the car? ”
"Yes, he said it's food", Ma Hongjun couldn't help but sourly, "You said that their family really raised a good girl, as soon as the Zhang family came yesterday, Xu Guangshi will have money to buy food today." ”
He glanced at his daughter again, holding a flower to her head, the flower is beautiful, but don't look awkward on her head, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but sigh: "Why aren't our peonies so good." ”
Ma Peony's appearance inherited ten percent of his appearance, black skin, small eyes, and thick lips, Li Xiulan glared at her husband: "It's not your own child, and you don't look in the mirror, just because you look so ugly, how can you compare with Xu Guangshi?" That's why I can live with you. ”
Ma Hongjun didn't like to hear this: "When I sent three bags of millet to your family back then, you didn't say that. What's the use of Xu Guangshiguang looking good, your third sister is not living a hard life with him. ”
Li Xiulan cut off, quarreled with him impatiently, and rolled her eyes to look at her husband: "You said that Xu Guangshi's bag is really grain?" ”
"What else could it be?"
"I don't think so, aren't their families running away these days? It was ...... years ago" Li Xiulan's eyes shot a shiny light, "No, I have to take a look." ”
On the other side, Xu Guangshi transported the sunflower seeds back and began to fry them, pot after pot, and the fried melon seeds were put in a dustpan, cooled and then put into the pocket.
was busy when suddenly the door was banged.
The Xu family was frightened, and they all stopped moving, and looked at the gate in unison.
"Third sister! Open the door! I'm Shirlan. Outside the door, Li Xiulan shouted while banging on the door, "I know there are people at home!" Open the door! ”
No one moved, and there was silence in the courtyard for a while, which made Li Xiulan's call to the door even more abrupt and loud.
"Third sister! Three brothers-in-law! What are you doing? Behind closed doors, is there anything unsightly? Li Xiulan was already sure that there must be a secret in the yard, and when she saw that no one had opened the door after shouting for so long, she said even louder, "If I don't open the door again, I'll find someone to climb over the wall and go in!" ”
Li Xiuqin was so anxious that her palms were sweating: "What should I do?" What to do? She can really do this, these melon seeds are going to let her see, maybe something will happen?! ”
It's not enough to denounce them, after all, they are all surnamed Li, and she will have to be implicated herself, but Li Xiulan will definitely take out this handle and blackmail them well, and all the hard work during this time will be in vain.
