Chapter 44: Vinegar Meets a Widow
Ling Zongzhen tied a coat of sour dates together with a plastic bag of sour dates I was holding in the back car, and Furong asked him to ride first, but he refused, he wanted to walk with the two of us, talking on the way.
At this moment, it is almost six o'clock, and the movement of pulling fans to cook rice has sounded in the village, and there are obviously fewer people on the street.
Ling Zongzhen pushed the cart parallel to the two of us, and I still supported Furong, but I no longer had close contact, and I entered the village. Ling Zongzhen is very talkative today, and he basically let him say everything, and he said a lot of things in the clouds, most of which couldn't arouse the interest of the two of us, so we just listened to him, and nodded perfunctory regardless of whether we heard it or not.
As soon as I walked into the alley, I saw Furong and her mother walking from the gate with a bottle.
"Hey, Rong'er, why are you going?" Ling Zongzhen asked.
Fu Rong and her mother held up the bottle and said, "Go with vinegar." Then he asked, "Hey, why are you going together?" ”
Ling Zongzhen turned around and said, "I just happened to meet them by the river when I didn't come back, and I missed it one step later, the two of them were about to go to the grove to pick sour dates, so they went together, you see so many picks." He gestured to the back seat of the car.
"Mother, let me go and get vinegar!" Fu Rong walked forward quickly on crutches as she spoke, and I quickly supported her, and reached out to Fu Rong and her mother to take the vinegar bottle.
Fu Rong and her mother handed me the vinegar bottle, who expected, I just caught the bottle, Fu Rong's body suddenly crooked and did not stand firm, I hurriedly hugged her, but the vinegar bottle was dropped with a "snap".
I didn't know what to do for a while, but Fu Rong laughed, and Fu Rong's mother also smiled and said, It's okay, it's okay to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster; Ling Zongzhen said, the old one doesn't go, the new one doesn't come, this bottle has been used for several years, and it should have been replaced a long time ago, the inside is old and dirty, and it will attract maggots if it is used again. Apparently comforting me. Fu Rong and his mother immediately took out a gray-brown handkerchief from her arms, opened it three layers inside and three layers outside, counted out a few gross tickets and handed them to me to buy vinegar, I blocked it, and then left with Fu Rong. The old family usually eats bulk vinegar or soy sauce mixed with water, and will not buy bottles, which is too expensive, and the price of a bottle of vinegar is more expensive than several bottles of bulk vinegar.
The commissary is in the center of the village, next to the brigade headquarters, it is the only commissary in the village, and it is also the most popular and lively place in the village.
"Yo, big sister Furong is here! Rare guest, rare guest! "Before I got close to the commissary, I saw Widow Qin waving and shouting at the two of us, very enthusiastic.
This widow is just in her early thirties this year, pungent and coquettish, and has a lot of romantic affairs, but most of them are just chasing the wind and catching shadows, no wonder, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, she used to be the village flower of Qinzhuang in the former village, and she looks as smart as a green onion and white child, and has been in charge of the commissary since the man died in a car accident three years ago.
"Hehe, Sister Qin is good! I'm going to buy a bottle of vinegar. Fu Rong waved at her and smiled. I helped her to the counter.
"Buy a bottle of vinegar?!" Widow Qin immediately raised her willow eyebrows (don't say it, her curved eyebrows are indeed very pretty), a little surprised, and then leaned on the counter and smiled, "Hehe, big sister, I'm really embarrassed!" I don't have bottled vinegar here, I haven't bought it for a long time, and no one buys it. Hey, why don't you be jealous? As she spoke, she glanced at me, her eyes were very seductive, easy to make people think about it, I was flustered when I saw it, and quickly twisted my head to the side, feeling that she was like a goblin, and I didn't dare to look at her. We've met before, but haven't spoken, and she knows who I am.
"Hee-hee, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I just broke the vinegar bottle!" Fu Rong leaned her crutches on the counter and held the counter with both hands and smiled, saying that she had broken it. But I didn't correct it, for fear that talking too much would cause Widow Qin to laugh even more, so I still tried my best not to provoke her.
"Ahh Widow Qin screamed and laughed, continuing to glance at me.
"Well, then I'll have to go home and get the bottle." Fu Rong then said.
"Hey," Widow Qin patted Fu Rong's hand and said, "You don't need to go home to get it, it just so happens that there is an empty wine bottle in the pot house, which was only poured out last night, wait for me to go back to the house to get it." As he spoke, he turned and walked into the inner room.
I stared at Widow Qin's waist and hips, twisting and dragging like a water snake, and her eyes were straight.
"Hey, what are you looking at? So focused! Fu Rong raised her hand and slapped me on the arm and asked.
"Oh," I lied, "and I see a big mouse!" ”
"Hey!" Fu Rong shouted, "What's this, there are rats everywhere in the countryside!" It's not weird, it's not weird if there's no rats. ”
I couldn't laugh when I heard it, and then I saw Widow Qin shaking the bottle with one hand, and swinging it with the other hand like a beat, coming from it like twisting Yangge, her chest trembling so much, just like two fat rabbits hidden in her clothes, it made people dizzy to look at. I stopped smiling and my eyes straightened again.
"Hey," Fu Rong slapped me on the arm this time and asked, "Did you see a mouse again?!" ”
"Huh?" I immediately turned my head, looked at Fu Rong and hurriedly said, "Oh, yes, yes, it's bigger than the one just now, it's bigger, bigger, it's like a kitten." ”
"Hahaha......" Fu Rong leaned on the counter and laughed.
