Chapter Eighty-Six: Flowers on the Head
This fresh and refined answer made Xiao Cheng stunned for 0.5 seconds, and then chuckled.
Turn around and go back to your room to change your clothes.
Bai Lu and Xiao Wei were also stunned for a second before they reacted, the crisis was lifted?
The crisis was resolved.
Xiao Wei sat back in front of the stove to light the fire, and asked casually, "Why do you have flowers on your head?"
The corners of Bai Lu's mouth twitched slightly: "Where are the flowers, I went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, the wind blew the chestnut tree and fell, and when I came back, I patted off the small bones on my shoulder, but I didn't expect one to fall on my head, and I didn't feel it at all."
"Then why doesn't it fall on my head?"
"Your head is small, and if you fall on it, you will fall off."
"Then why doesn't it fall on the big brother's head?"
"Your brother doesn't go to the backyard often, and it doesn't blow when he goes once in a while, so of course the flowers and bones can't fall on his head."
"Big brother often goes to the backyard."
"Why don't I know, what is he doing in the backyard?"
"Go and see Qiang ......" Xiao Wei saw a tall figure passing by outside the window, his tongue was twisted into a knot, and he made an emergency turn: "Go and see the vegetable garden."
Bai Lu didn't think much about it, and said with a smile while stir-frying: "Are you going to see if there are any newly unearthed greens in the vegetable garden?"
"You're both the same, just look at it, ask what you like to eat, say yes, anyway, you don't have any special favorite dishes? For example, choy sum, lettuce, broccoli, lettuce, pea tips? ”
Xiao Wei didn't hear the unpalatable dishes, and replied as usual: "It's all right."
Bai Lu decisively threw a bomb: "What about mustard greens?"
Xiao Wei shook his head vigorously.
"Don't like it? Mustard greens are very delicious, and there are many benefits, clear away heat and detoxify the stomach, benefit the lungs and phlegm and reduce fire, but also refresh the mind, put a little when cooking lean porridge, it is fragrant and crispy, and the taste is great. Why don't we make mustard greens and lean porridge for breakfast tomorrow? ”
Xiao Wei shook his head into a rattle.
Bai Lu agreed with him: "Then it's decided~ Your brother must also like to eat mustard greens."
"He doesn't like it."
Xiao Wei shook his head with an extremely serious and serious face: "I cooked it once last year, and my eldest brother didn't come home for five days."
Bai Lu smiled: "He's finished eating?"
Xiao Wei shook his head: "I didn't eat a bite."
"That's just the right time to give him a taste of something new, and he's going to love it." Bai Lu smiled softly.
Xiao Wei's hairs stood up all over his body, wanting to say that his eldest brother wouldn't like it, and wanted to shake his head and refuse.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
The sun is setting.
In this era of sunrise and sunset, every household is either cooking or eating.
Who's going to knock on the door?
After Wang Cuihua's business of selling sugar-fried chestnuts improved, she already had a fixed stall in Dashi Town three days ago, and now, like Wen Xiuyun and his wife, settle the account once every three days.
I only got married once yesterday, so it shouldn't be her.
Bai Lu had already fried the vegetables, took off her apron and went out.
Unexpectedly, the man who was blistering his clothes in the front yard had already taken a step ahead of her and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened.
A dark shadow swooped in.
As soon as Bai Lu walked over, before he could see clearly, he was taken a big step back by Xiao Cheng.
A large basket rolled to the ground.
The head of the basket hit the place where she was standing just now, and at the end of the basket, there was a man with a cloak on his stomach.
When he opened his mouth, he cried and shouted: "Bai Lu...... I stopped selling fried chestnuts with sugar, and someone smashed my stall and beat me, saying that if I dared to go to Dashizhen to sell fried chestnuts with sugar in the future, they would confiscate all the chestnuts and break my legs......"
"It's too difficult to sell sugar and fried chestnuts, and I make a lot of money, but where is the medical bill......
The ghost crying wolf howl was sandwiched with a less obvious cry, and the figure lying on the basket also trembled.
After saying that, the trembling hand lifted the messy hair that blocked his face, revealing a sad face.
And then...... He was stunned on the spot, and his face stiffened.
"Xiao, did Brother Xiao Cheng come back so early today?" Wang Cuihua quickly got up, patted off the dust on her body, and tied up a messy hair with a rubber band.
Bai Lu glanced at her dirty clothes and asked, "Someone is beating?"
Wang Cuihua didn't dare to lie in front of Xiao Cheng: "I didn't fight, I just set up a stall."
The clothes were an illusion that she was outside and deliberately fell down, and she wanted Bai Lu to pay for some medical expenses.
I didn't expect Brother Xiao Cheng to come back so early today, and he didn't get off work until dark a few days ago.
"Who set up the stall?" Xiao Cheng's voice was as cold as a pool, penetrating all his thoughts.
Wang Cuihua was frightened, and immediately told the whole thing: "I don't know, I haven't seen it, those five men have tattoos on their left arms, and as soon as they came up, they overturned my stall, saying that Dashizhen is their territory, and if they want to sell sugar and fried chestnuts in Dashizhen, they must pay 3,000 yuan first."
Hearing the five left-arm men, Xiao Cheng already roughly knew who it was, and looked sideways at Bai Lu.
Bai Lu had a question mark on her face, what are you doing with her?
She's not a flower-armed man.
But in an instant, he understood the message conveyed by those deep eyes, turned his head and asked Wang Cuihua: "If you can get those people, will you still go to Dashi Town to sell sugar and fried chestnuts?"
"Go!"
Wang Cuihua replied without hesitation: "I want to continue to go to Dashizhen to sell sugar and fried chestnuts."
If you can earn so much money every day, a fool won't go.
is such a trivial matter as being lifted to collect protection money, as long as Xiao Cheng goes to that station, he has to escape with his tail between his legs.
As soon as she entered the door just now, she cried miserably, just to let Bai Lu get a share, and by the way, she told Xiao Cheng about it.
Now that the plan has failed, I must save my job.
"Tomorrow, I'll let Zhang San and Li Si go and have a look."
Xiao Cheng's tone was light, and he ordered the expulsion.
Wang Cuihua smelled the fragrance of the food in the yard, her stomach was growling with hunger, and she wanted to stay and leave after eating.
But Xiao Cheng had already walked back with Bai Lu in his arms.
Xiao Wei took the basket in Wang Cuihua's hand, put it aside, and sent the guest: "Goodbye, sister-in-law."
Wang Cuihua stomped her foot hard, no one cared about her, so she could only turn around and leave.
The doors were closed.
At the dinner table, Bai Lu endured it, but still couldn't help asking: "Is there really someone named Zhang San and Li Si?"
Xiao Cheng glanced at her motionless chopsticks and the rice bowl that hadn't eaten three mouthfuls of rice, and grabbed a piece of meat.
"Eat first."
Bai Lu wiped out the meat in three or two clicks, and his movements were fast and elegant: "Is there really someone named Zhang San and Li Si?"
Xiao Cheng sandwiched two more pieces of meat for her, fat and thin back pot meat, and three braised pork ribs.
Xiao Wei also sandwiched two pieces of meat for her, fat and thin back to the pot meat, and three braised pork ribs.
Bai Lu: "......"
Until most of the rice in the bowl was wiped out, and the piles of sharp back pot meat and braised pork ribs were all wiped out.
The answer was released from the cage by the man: "Yes."
"Two brothers, from Dashi Town."
Bai Lu looked surprised and curious: "Why do the two brothers have one surname Zhang and the other surname Li?"
Xiao Cheng's expression was as usual: "Half-father."
Bai Lu understood.
Zhang San's mother married Zhang's father and gave birth to Zhang San, and then married Li's father and gave birth to Li Si.
It's really a good name for high-end atmosphere and grade!
