Chapter 42: Chaos (4)
"Enough is enough, mother! How long are you going to make trouble? It's not enough that your eldest brother was in prison by you? ”
Liu Tieyang thought that his mother was addicted to acting, and now she still wanted to touch a little girl in porcelain, her heart was irritable, and the strength in her hand became neither light nor heavy.
Mrs. Liu was not pushed by Zhao Xiaowan, but was pushed by her son so that her forehead hit the carriage fiercely.
Zhao Xiaowan listened to the muffled sound of "bang", and couldn't help baring his teeth.
Secretly bit his ear with Zhao Daniu.
"Dad, didn't you say that Second Brother Liu is an honest man? Is this what you call an honest man? Zhao Xiaowan's eyes were full of suspicion.
"......" Zhao Daniu was speechless.
How can he explain that there is a class of honest people who appear to be honest on the surface, but in fact, when their interests are violated, this kind of people will immediately tear off the skin of camouflage.
Mrs. Liu was hit with gold stars, but she only thought that the second child was caring about his eldest brother, so she could only endure the dizziness in her brain and honestly climbed onto the board.
The carriage drove bumpily all the way to the county seat.
Until they entered the city, parked the carriage, and went straight to the county office.
On the way to the county office, Zhao Xiaowan looked at the people on the street in a hurry, and all the way over, the shouts of the vendors selling food on the street were much quieter, and they looked weak, and they couldn't help but be a little curious.
What's going on?
recalled the last time she came to the county seat, it was the Lantern Festival half a year ago, and she came to watch the lantern festival with her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
At that time, the county town was lively, the lights were staggered, the drums kept ringing until dawn, all kinds of snacks, lanterns and toys were placed on both sides of the street, and the voices of people were boiling, where was it so depressed now?
Zhao Xiaowan recalled the past, and always felt that the scene of the lantern festival was still fresh in his memory.
"Little bowl!"
Zhao Daniu looked back and didn't see his daughter, so frightened that his soul was about to fly.
hurriedly turned back to look for it, and found that his daughter was standing in front of the vendor selling sugar gourds with her head up, staring at the grass rake with the sugar gourds inserted in them.
Zhao Daniu wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead and strode to his daughter.
Zhao Xiaowan heard the voice and was about to turn away, but saw a dark palm stretching out from beside her, and two shiny copper plates were piled up in the calloused palm, and handed them to the vendor.
"Take a sugar gourd."
Her father's familiar loud voice sounded behind her.
Zhao Xiaowan turned around and saw that the lines in the corners of her eyes were squeezed together with her old man's smile.
"Gluttony, huh?" Zhao Daniu touched his daughter's head, "Dad bought it for you!" ”
For some reason, Zhao Xiaowan was suddenly a little embarrassed, and slapped the thick palm on the top of his head, "Dad, I'm not a child anymore, how can I still be hungry for sugar gourds?" ”
Over there, the vendor who has never had much business immediately took the money with a smile when he heard it, "Little girl, adults will also be greedy, and there is no shame in being greedy......
As he spoke, he smiled and took out a string of the most round sugar gourds from the grass rake and handed it to Zhao Xiaowan.
Then, boasting to himself: "My sugar gourd is the most fragrant and sweetest mile in Eighteen Miles, if it weren't for the fact that there has been no business recently, you can't hit me at this point, and it will be sold out early!" ”
Zhao Xiaowan was a little more curious, but seeing that the eldest brother was still waiting for them at the intersection in front of him, he could only put away his curiosity first, put it aside, and dragged the old man who was happy with others to the county office:
"Dad, the eldest brother is still waiting for us in front, don't let him wait......"
