"Here we are, wait." Wiped his hands on his apron and went to open the door.

It was Wang Xinfeng's old best friend, the aunt she went to exchange eggs.

Aunt Niu is also a fiery temper, cool temperament, warm-hearted, and Wang Xinfeng can chat very well, and over the years, she has become an old friend who talks about everything.

"Aunt Niu is here, sit in the house, my mother is feeding the pigs in the backyard, I'll call her."

Aunt Niu's real name is Wang Dahua, and Wang Xinfeng is still her own family, her man's surname is Niu, so everyone calls her Aunt Niu.

Wang Dahua heard Yuzhi calling Wang Xinfeng's mother, and she was a little disillusioned, Wang Xinfeng told her before that her daughter-in-law had changed, but she didn't believe it.

Now I still don't believe it, just shouting Mom, and her stupid old friend will be so happy as if she has picked up gold, and there is no interest.

glanced at the elm branch, didn't say anything, turned around and went straight to the backyard.

Yuzhi doesn't care either, Aunt Niu is a good person.

Wang Xinfeng's widow has a child, even if she is strong, she has had a hard time these years, and Aunt Niu has helped a lot.

Over the years, although Aunt Niu doesn't look down on her, she is also very protective of her because she loves the house and Wu.

She is good with Wang Xinfeng, and she feels sorry for Wang Xinfeng, so she will naturally be upset for Wang Xinfeng.

Yuzhi did his own sin, and he didn't dare to complain.

Closed the door and went to the stove again.

It didn't take long to hear two old girlfriends giggling out of the backyard and into the hall.

The hall has a kang, and there is still a fire in the kang, which is warm.

Aunt Niu sat on the kang and patted: "Yes, yes, I have already asked you to put the kang on the plate in the hall, so as not to let the father and son sleep in the firewood shed, and you will not feel distressed on a cold day." Why can't the hall be pan kang, it's just that your family is poor, and you are stupid to rely on her. ”

Wang Xinfeng was not happy to listen to Aunt Niu say that the elm branch was not good, and glared at her: "What does it have to do with my daughter-in-law, Sang Dazhuang's big physique, even if he can't freeze in the snow, Xiao Bao sleeps with him, and he doesn't suffer at all, how can he use the pankang, the house is already narrow, the pan is on the kang, and there is no place for the feet." ”

Aunt Niu's eyes were bigger than Wang Xinfeng: "Why is it on the plate now, isn't it narrow?" Just take care of it, see how long you can protect it. ”

"Okay, okay, you're here to raise the bar with me, aren't you, I'm too busy to listen to you."

Aunt Niu knew Wang Xinfeng's virtue, and she snorted twice: "You are idle when I am, and I am also busy, and his father has taken on a lot of work, and he has not stopped in winter." ”

Uncle Niu is a carpenter, and although he can't do business openly now, the people in the village, or acquaintances, will ask him for some useful furniture and materials, and he can also add income to the family.

Wang Xinfeng pouted: "You can pull it down, I don't know how happy I am, I am not happy to have work, you want to go to heaven." ”

Aunt Niu was really happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help rising: "Yes, yes, I'm here to tell you, the big set will start the day after tomorrow, do you want to go and see, my family said that they just made some gadgets, and when the time comes, they will be exchanged for some use." ”

Wang Xinfeng's eyes lit up: "Yo, it's time to open a big set." ”

The Grand Bazaar is the only place where you can trade freely today, and it is also the end of the year, and it is held from time to time, and each place is different, and the opening situation will be different.

They are here in the entire Mao'an Commune, and in previous years, it was almost the beginning of the lunar month, and it was held every ten to fifteen days, until the Lantern Festival.

If you have any idle food at home, you can take it to the collection to exchange.

In fact, most families deliberately save from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and get the exchange ticket on the set when the set opens.

Wang Xinfeng's family is not short of money, and some of the money tickets earned by Sang Dazhuang will be given to Wang Xinfeng as a family, but it is not easy to take it out and use it, and he can't find a place to use it.

The big set is just right, and there are a lot of things that don't need tickets, so you can go and see them.

"Go, I'm definitely going to go, I haven't been to my family yet, so I'm just going to take a look."

As soon as she heard the elm branch, Aunt Niu couldn't help but roll her eyes, who rarely let her go.

Just as he was about to say something, Elm Branch came in with a plate.

"Mom, Aunt Niu, this is the chestnut cake I just made, you can try it, and chrysanthemum tea, burn the kang in winter, it is very dry, and the chrysanthemum tea lowers the fire."

Wang Xinfeng hurriedly took it and took Yuzhi's hand to see: "Why is it on the stove, it's not hurt, right?" Tell your mother what you want to eat, and your mother will make it for you, why is this kid so disobedient. ”

Aunt Niu's eyes are about to turn to the sky, is this a daughter-in-law? This is the ancestor of the old Sang family, right?

Yu Zhi was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stuffed a chestnut cake for Wang Xinfeng: "Mom, try my craftsmanship, I will do the work on the stove, it's okay." ”

Wang Xinfeng smashed his mouth, and his eyes lit up: "Ouch, my family's branches and branches are really good, better than my mother, and they are so delicious." ”

Aunt Niu, blow, keep blowing, see if you can blow to the sky.

Yuzhi couldn't help but smile and bent her eyes: "Mom likes it, don't be polite, Aunt Niu, you and my mother sit and eat and chat, eat here at noon, I'll make it for you." ”

After saying that, he went out and didn't disturb the two of them chatting.

Wang Xinfeng felt that he had a lot of face, and raised his eyebrows at Aunt Niu: "See, how good my branches are, good growth, good craftsmanship, well-behaved, obedient and sensible, whose daughter-in-law can catch up, that is, my bastard boy stepped on shit, so he could pick up such a good daughter-in-law." ”

Aunt Niu listened to Wang Xinfeng with a wooden face, and she was numb to listening to it for so many years.

didn't praise it, Wang Xinfeng didn't care, and stuffed a quick pastry to Aunt Niu: "Let you eat, you can eat, taste my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship, lest you always say that I am blowing." ”

Although Aunt Niu doesn't look down on elm branches, she won't get along with food, and she eats the most expensive food this year.

I took a bite and my eyes lit up.

Fluffy and soft, not sweet, not sticky and dry, melts in the mouth, fragrant and soft, and is indeed delicious.

In the past, she said that Yuzhi was useless, and Aunt Niu was a little uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to show that it was delicious, so she finished the pastry with a wooden face and poured two sips of warm tea.

The taste is sweet, and the bitter chrysanthemum tea they brewed is not at all the same, tsk, I didn't expect this craftsmanship.

Wang Xinfeng smiled and watched Aunt Niu's face change, becoming more and more proud.

"Look, it's time to believe it, right? People, you can't just look at the surface, the quality of my family's branches, I, a person who gets along with her day and night, can I not know, you have to listen to those people outside chewing the root of their tongues, stupid. ”

Aunt Niu snorted twice: "I didn't hear anyone say it, I saw it myself, I know what she is like, I don't need you to defend herself." She is calling you mom now, and she will cook food for you, and a little favor will coax you around, who knows what the idea is. ”

Wang Xinfeng glanced at her: "What ideas can you have, my family has nothing, what is there to gain, you are prejudiced." ”

"Prejudice? She has a lot of pictures, she has been able to be a big lady at home safely and steadily over the years, isn't it your mother and son who are cattle and horses in exchange? Isn't that her? ”

"Now that the college entrance examination is resumed, she is going to take the exam and go back to the city, you didn't give Zhang Luo before and after, this is not what she wanted? After the exam, I'm afraid that you will detain her and won't let her go, but I can't coax you well, so as not to get in the way of her, isn't this what she wanted. ”

Wang Xinfeng was so angry that she patted Aunt Niu: "You are really, what words come to your mouth, I don't like it, my family is capable, how can she use us, she got it by herself." ”

"And, ah......" Wang Xinfeng looked outside the door and confirmed that Yuzhi was not there, so he lowered his voice and said: "Don't talk about the college entrance examination in front of Zhizhi, this kid didn't sleep all night to read books and do questions for the college entrance examination, and it took a lot of work, how could I want to be put on such a thing, it's okay to be admitted to the exam, I'm afraid that I won't be able to pass the exam, I don't know how sad it should be, we don't dare to mention this stubble, you must not say it." ”

Aunt Niu really served Wang Xinfeng, and she didn't protect the calves as tightly as her: "I see, she has a clear heart, I'm afraid that she knows that she can't pass the exam and has no way out, so she hurriedly coaxes you well, so as not to be kicked out, and next year I have to let you continue to be a cow and a horse for her to take the test." ”

Wang Xinfeng pulled his face suddenly: "The more you talk, the more ugly it becomes, Zhizhi is not that kind of person, besides, she didn't pass the exam, as long as she wants to take the exam, Sang Dazhuang and I will smash the pot and sell iron for her to continue the exam, so I will use her to do this." ”

Aunt Niu was also said to be angry: "I'm really blinded by, it's okay, it's over, I'm leaving, stay any longer, I'll die of anger at your house." ”

Wang Xinfeng ignored her, and she was angry, ten sentences, nine sentences said that she was not good, who would like to listen.

Aunt Niu was angry, got up and left.

Yu Zhi saw it in the stove room and chased it out: "Aunt Niu, why are you leaving, I said that I was ready to have lunch here." ”

Eat and eat, I am full of gas, what else to eat, ignore the elm branches, and walk faster.

Yuzhi glanced at Wang Xinfeng in the hall, one of them had bigger faces than the other, and his girlfriends quarreled.

turned around and went back to the stove room, wrapped a few chestnut cakes and chased them out: "Aunt Niu, wait, take this home for the children to sweet." ”

"Don't." Aunt Niu dodged and was about to leave.

Wang Xinfeng shouted in the house: "Wang Dahua, if you don't want it, don't enter the door of the old lady's house in the future." ”

Aunt Niu, who had gone away, walked back angrily, snatched the pastry in Yuzhi's hand, and left angrily.

Yuzhi looked at the two childish old sisters, crying and laughing.

turned around and went back to the house, tired of being by Wang Xinfeng's side, and coaxed for a long time before the old lady smiled.

Educated youth, Cui Xue was woken up by a sore face in the morning, and it hurt hotly.

I looked in the mirror and found that the medicine I applied yesterday not only did not reduce the swelling, but it was even worse, it was red and swollen, and some places seemed to have suppurated.

I was so shocked that I hurriedly rinsed it with cold water, took out the ointment and applied it again.

As soon as I applied it, the tingling sensation hit my whole body, and I almost fainted.

and hurriedly washed it up.

Looking at the face again, it is even more red and swollen.

Without saying a word, he took the money ticket and ran to the commune health center.

Seeing her tossing in the same dormitory all morning, the educated youth held her mouth and gloated.

"If you do too much for lacking morality, you will be punished."

"Do you think if her face is so rotten, will she die of crying?"

"Snort, what's the difference between her face and her rotten, it's always been ugly."

"There's still a difference, my face was a little annoying before, at least it wasn't disgusting, but now this face, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat lunch."

"I was proud when I came back yesterday, but today I am stupid, and the retribution is coming too quickly."

Cui Xue didn't know what others were saying, so she ran to the health center, ran to the entrance of the village, and met Deng Mazi again.

Deng Mazi saw Cui Xue's face, and squeaked vigorously: "Ouch, ouch, why is it like this, Cui Zhiqing, it can't be because of the, I heard that there is something in the, anyway, it is a very buried thing, and if it is stained with that thing, good people will get sick." ”

"Ouch, you won't go back without washing your face, will you? Or maybe it's not cleaned? Or is it too late? Deng Mazi suddenly slapped his thigh: "It must be late to wash, so much on your face, you slept for hours before you went to wash, but it's not too late, I would have washed you if I knew it." ”

"I'm used to doing good deeds, but unfortunately, I can't stay in your youth center, otherwise I will definitely wash you clean. Tsk, but it's okay, the face, if it's not rotten, you have to be old, you have to be ugly, it doesn't matter, you still have to be sincere, I have a lot of sincerity to Cui Zhiqing, and I don't dislike your face at all. ”

Cui Xue was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and at first she didn't understand why her face was getting worse and worse, and thought that there was a problem with the medicine she was prescribing.

There are so many bacteria in the feces, and then they were just washed with clean water without disinfection, which is not a bad thing.

Cui Xue almost regretted it to death, she was angry, and when she heard Deng Mazi's words of helping to wash her face and not disliking it, she really wanted to chop such a disgusting thing with a knife.

"Get out of here, Deng Mazi, don't go too far, do you really think I can't do anything about you? Provoked me, I risked my life to want you to look good. ”

Deng Mazi sighed twice: "Look at you, you get angry just after saying two words, you are angry, and your face is even more difficult." Okay, okay, kindness is not good to repay, you have to take it easy in the future. ”

He took a step back and made a please.

Cui Xue raised her head, didn't look at Deng Mazi squarely, and strode away.

Deng Mazi quenched at Cui Xue's back: "What the hell, I really treat myself as a commodity, if it weren't for ...... Lao Tzu bird, you hammer, cheap, there will always be a time for you to ask Lao Tzu. ”

When I arrived at the health center, the doctor guessed that it might be allergic to a certain medicine in the ointment, and there was no way to screen for any specific medicine, so I had to stop applying the medicine and let it heal slowly, which might take a little longer, at least not to suffer.

Cui Xue was angry and angry, but there was no way, in such a poor country, nothing could be done.

It's not that you can't do anything, but it's a lot of money.

Yesterday it cost ten yuan to take the medicine, but today I took a look, wiped it with cotton soaked in water, and spent five yuan, and then thought about the more than five hundred yuan taken away by the elm branch, my heart was dripping blood.

The more I thought about it, the more unwilling I became, and ran into the dilapidated alley again.

The man wrinkled his eyebrows fiercely when he saw Cui Xue: "Didn't you tell you not to come often?" "Especially with such a face, is this a deliberate attempt to kill him?

Cui Xue held back her anger and asked, "What about the news I asked you to pass on, has it been transmitted?" ”

"It's been passed on, what's the hurry, I'll have someone send it to you if there's news, your face is rotten like this, and you're still happy, you're really capable."

Speaking of face, Cui Xue was angry: "It's your business, just take care of yourself, you must send me the news as soon as you get it." With that, he left.

The man snorted twice, scolded and went back to the house, and died of coldness.

The old beggar in the corner turned over, as if he couldn't feel the biting chill at all, drinking wine and eating peanuts.
