16. Inquire less about the affairs of your sister-in-law's family
When the sister-in-law and sister-in-law went out, they planned to go to the entrance of the village to make an ox cart.
If you want to live in the village, you have to integrate into it, and the people in the village didn't know that Cheng Xi had brought back thousands of catties of grain, so they naturally thought that they didn't have much rice and noodles.
And she plans to buy some noodles today.
Cheng Xi's face was unfamiliar to Shen Family Village, and only the members of the Shen family cousins had seen her.
Fortunately, there was a sister-in-law who followed, and I met several aunts in just a few minutes while waiting for the bus.
"This is the creek, right? Sure enough, it's a city person, and its appearance is a sign! ”
"It's Aunt Wang, it's Uncle Wang's wife."
Shen Xingqi reminded her in a low voice that Cheng Xi had connected the woman in front of her with the mason who had made the kang for the Shen family.
It's quite husband and wife.
"It turned out to be the aunt of the Wang family, and you also went to the embroidery workshop?"
"Our women's family is also able to do needlework, and this is not the last time to embroider a few handkerchiefs for the shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop to be in charge."
Aunt Wang sat beside the two of them, and her voice was much lower than just now.
"By the way, buy some food. Thanks to Xingluo, my family went to work and earned a few silver dollars, otherwise I would have been sad this winter. ”
The Wang family is an outsider, and the family only has two acres of land, and they rely on Uncle Wang to earn money from private work on weekdays, which can be said to be very poor.
Cheng Xi smiled, "Uncle Wang's craftsmanship is good, who doesn't know about the entire Shenjia Village?" ”
"I heard that the thing on the plate is called kang?"
"Yes, it's used in Lingbei for the winter."
"Okay, isn't it? Can you really heat up with some firewood in winter? ”
"This ...... I don't know, my husband said it would work. ”
If it's really not hot, the black pot will definitely not be her back.
"It's really hot!"
Aunt Wang's attention was obviously in the second half of the sentence, and the whole person was excited when she heard it.
"Then I'll also ask Uncle Wang to make one at home, and use the mud from the wall!"
She heard her man say that the thing used in the other house is a good red brick, isn't this a fool?
How precious are red bricks!
Cheng Xi's eyes flashed, and he labeled the woman in front of him as "shrewd" in his heart.
This is not quite like the honest and honest mason.
"You are the Cheng Xi who took the favor to repay him?"
An arrogant female voice broke the conversation between the two, and Cheng Xi looked to the side and found that there was a young girl wearing a floral cotton jacket sitting on the ox cart at some point.
"What about you, isn't it?"
"I'm Cheng Xi, but what does the girl mean by coercion?"
"That's right, I heard that your father made a marriage contract with Brother Xingluo after saving the Shen family's uncle, isn't this a coercion to repay it?"
The little girl's voice was not small, not to mention that Cheng Xi's existence was originally eye-catching, and this time it successfully attracted the attention of the seven aunts and eight aunts.
The original chatter near the ox cart disappeared and turned into whispering.
Shen Xingqi beside him was already so angry that his small chest began to rise and fall, and the party became the most calm one.
Cheng Xi tilted his head and looked at her for a moment, and said slowly:
"There is a saying that 'a hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can be slept together', being able to become a husband and wife is a godsend, and others can't envy it, you know?"
"You ......"
Didn't you say that the bride that Brother Xingluo married was the daughter of a martial artist?
How can you still understand poetry!
"Also, the people who are favored are reluctant and have to agree to call it a coercion to repay the favor, like Shen Cheng's two peaceful discussions and finally reach an agreement, it is called a hit and wishful thinking, you know?"
"How can you say such a thing in public?"
The little girl was shocked, "Shameless! ”
"Didn't you mention it first?"
Cheng Xi blinked his eyes, and the pear vortices on both sides of his cheeks loomed.
"Since you call me husband and brother, then I am your sister-in-law. In the future, remember that you should inquire less about the affairs of your sister-in-law's family, otherwise you will not be able to get married in the future. ”
As soon as the words fell, the women who had been watching the excitement focused their eyes on the girl, with a little strangeness.
It's all up to other people's husbands and wives, and it's really a thousand and ten thousand inappropriate for an unmarried girl.
Isn't it......
"Wow-"
The little girl felt the suspicion in everyone's eyes and finally cried, jumped out of the ox cart and ran towards the village.
Cheng Xi: "......"
That's it?
She collapsed before she could exert herself.
Cheng Xi's fighting spirit that had just risen was forced to retract before he could exert his strength, and he suddenly felt bored.
Retracted his gaze regretfully, and looked at Shen Xingqi dumbfounded, with an expression of adoration in his eyes.
"Sister-in-law, you're amazing!"
"Generally, learn a little later."
"But which book is the sentence 'a hundred years of cultivation can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can be slept together', how come I have never read it?"
"Oh, that's the story of two snakes who forcibly made a cowardly man take Entu Bao and finally scared him to death."
“???”
***
The ox cart stopped at the gate of the city, and the women scattered when they entered the gate.
Cheng Xi and Shen Xingqi went to the pharmacy first, and took out the prescription for treating the trauma and gave Shen Xingluo medicine.
"Man, do you have any spices here?"
"It depends on what the girl needs, our Renxintang has the most complete herbs, if there are no here, then other pharmacies probably don't have them."
"Bay leaves, cinnamon, nutmeg, star anise, grass fruit, peppercorns, ......"
Cheng Xi reported more than a dozen big things in a row, and the guy who grabbed the medicine was confused.
"What, no?"
"Yes, there is, but what kind of disease is so many drugs put together to treat it? It's unheard of! ”
"If you have it, give me half a pound of everything."
"Girl, this herb is very expensive, are you sure it costs half a catty each?"
"Just catch it according to my requirements, and the money will be yours."
Cheng Xi took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and slapped them on the counter, revealing impatience.
Seeing this, the man pouted and stopped asking, and when a madman came, he turned around and went to grab the medicine.
Spices are generally sold after drying or baking and dehydration, and the unit price is really not cheap, plus the original trauma medicine costs 50 taels.
Cheng Xi took the packaged medicinal herbs and Shen Xingqi went out, and Dr. Wu, who was sitting in the hall, looked at the backs of the two and shook his head and sighed, causing the guys to wonder.
"Doctor Wu, do you think that girl is strange too?"
"Strange? The old man just felt pitiful. ”
Doctor Wu still remembers Cheng Xi, a few days ago, he gave Shen Jieyuan a prescription, but now he is grabbing all kinds of herbs, so Shen Jieyuan is afraid that he will not live long.
"You look at the pharmacy and let him wait if a patient comes."
"Doctor Wu, what about you?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't."
Dr. Wu got up and went to the backyard of the pharmacy, and after a short time, he turned into another alley.
Here, Cheng Xi, who had left the pharmacy, looked at the three words "Renxintang" thoughtfully, but turned around and became elated.
"Let's go, let's go to the pork stall next!"
With so many ingredients, she can go home and stew pig's trotters as much as she wants.
Today's braised pig's trotters will be braised tomorrow's braised pig's trotters and the day after tomorrow's spicy pig's trotters, without heavy samples at all!
The pig's trotters that Cheng Xi bought before were all put into the space, and the brother and sister only knew that the braised meat was nothing else, so when Shen Xingqi watched his sister-in-law pay to take away a basket, he fell into confusion again.
"Sister-in-law, this thing is not delicious."
"Huh?"
"It's really not delicious, and the stall owner can't usually sell it."
She nodded heavily to add credibility to her words.
Cheng Xi sighed, "Little Qiqi, you have to think more and think more with your brains when you get along with others in the future." ”
"Uh-huh, I remember."
"There's only one way to get along with me."
"What is it?"
"Don't think about anything, just look at it with an adoring expression."
“?”
