Volume 1 Anecdotes of a Small Town Chapter 4 Fishing and Fish (1)
Time passed, and seven years passed in a hurry.
The city was as calm as ever, and the lives of the people had long since returned to their pre-war state, and they were even richer than they were then.
In this way, the new emperor is indeed a virtuous monarch.
The guard at the gate had been willing to spend money on a bamboo reclining chair in the early years, and now he slept on it all day long, regardless of the passers-by.
The private school in Laojie is running quite well, there are more and more children who are willing to come to study, and Mr. is also very familiar with the residents.
But the old Zhao family was not at peace because of the non-stop reading in the study, and the couple quarreled every now and then over this matter.
The old doctor of the medical hall really didn't die.
The baby, whose little hand was like a chili pepper, was also safe and sound, and grew up happily to the age of seven.
"If there is no elixir falling from the sky, it may be a different ending, so you have to be glad for your good luck, cherish this hard-won life, and live happily every day. ”
Early in the morning, the fisherman-like man stood outside the door, tightened his belt, and said, "Do you remember what I said?"
There were two little girls in the room, and they pouted, "Remember, remember, how many times have I said this." ”
The fisherman was the old beggar, and the little girl was naturally the baby.
The fisherman once told the little girl that because she stepped on the rain and wet one of her trouser legs when she went back that day, he named her Shui'er.
The reason is a bit far-fetched, and it didn't rain that day.
"Just remember, then I'm leaving. The fisherman was just about to leave, but he looked back at her and said, "Old Man Wu's house hasn't been to his house for a long time, right? ”
Then he took his hat and headed for the fish market.
Shui'er came out and grabbed the door frame, waved his hand, and shook his little mouth, revealing two rows of teeth with black holes.
Then she cleaned up the house and set off for Old Man Wu's house.
......
Wu Mansion is one of the few large families in the city.
When the pair of guards saw Shui'er coming, they should have notified Old Man Wu as soon as possible, but they were stunned at this moment.
When Shui'er walked by with somewhat tired steps, they looked at each other to make sure they weren't dazzled, and finally remembered to shout: "Shui'er is coming!"
When the maid in the house heard the sound, she hurried over with laughter.
They usually like to play with the water the most, and they are the happiest when the water comes, but now they all hide under the trees, and dare not come over and whisper something.
At this time, Old Man Wu walked out with a cane.
Almost scared back.
He hurriedly went to Shui'er's side and said, "What's the matter with your face, why do you have a lip print?"
"There are also faces here, or are there two, just printed?"
"Why are the sleeves torn again? I just bought them for you, and they're worth a lot of money." ”
"Shui'er, where did you go to one of your shoes, and besides, why do you have chopsticks in your hair?"
"It's the taste of green onion noodles, and you ate noodles when you came?"
Shui'er didn't speak, but raised her face and showed a smile like enlightenment, her eyes empty.
Old Man Wu was anxious, pointed to the maids, and said, "What are you doing there with the pestle?
......
Xiao Shui'er first contracted a strange disease, and after a few years of begging life, coupled with malnutrition, only girls of the same age were taller at the shoulders and thinner.
may be some kind of nature, she likes to go to other people's houses to play the most, and all the families in the noisy city are not spared.
At first, people would be a little disgusted with this dirty little beggar, but when Shui'er shrank back, clenched her little hands in front of her chest, and looked at each other pitifully with her big watery eyes...... There is no one who is not soft-hearted!
In the face of such a poor and lovely child, who will not like it, and who will not feel distressed.
She is everyone's little baby.
Now Shui'er is so popular that as long as she appears, it will attract a large number of onlookers.
Just like the sound of "the water is coming" this morning, in a moment, she was surrounded by both men and women.
The most excessive are those small traders, who don't even do business, and don't know that the money has been stolen, so they pinch Shui'er's face.
Shui'er hugged her thighs and kept crying about this.
Old Man Wu smiled comfortingly and said, "It's all because everyone likes water, you should feel happy." ”
Shui'er cried even harder.
How can there be such a liking, and it's not for watching monkeys!
Old Man Wu patted Shui'er on the shoulder and said, "Otherwise, I will only go to your house in the future, and you won't have to go out again, the best of both worlds." ”
Shui'er stopped crying, and shrank back, avoiding his hand.
Old Man Wu thought to himself, isn't it just a string of doors, as for such a big reaction.
Shui'er is thinking, you are not as good as those monkey watchers, even if your pine nut candy is delicious.
Old Man Wu smiled, picked up a pine nut candy, and shook it.
"Who is bullying my family? The old lady Sun in the north of the city walked into the lobby with the support of the maid.
She, like Old Man Wu, is a big family in the noisy city.
Unfortunately, their children all died during the war, and they had no other children under their knees, not even their grandchildren, and they lived alone in the mansion, only accompanied by their subordinates, and they were always too lonely.
On such a day, suddenly an innocent cutie broke in, like a small grass, and one day the wall collapsed, and I found that the garden was so close.
Shui'er is the garden of the second elder, and Shui'er will never be allowed to suffer the slightest grievance.
Old Man Wu straightened his face and said, "Shui'er is fine, why are you old woman here? ”
"I don't think he dare. Mrs. Sun snorted and said, "My family is here, of course I can come." ”
This seems to be said with a sense of reason.
Old Man Wu also learned to snort and said, "When did Shui'er become your family?"
Mrs. Sun said contemptuously: "Otherwise, it's your family?"
Old Man Wu straightened his chest and said, "Of course." ”
These two words are equally justified.
"Bah!" Mrs. Sun wiped her mouth and said, "You bad old man, you deserve it too?"
"It's not. Old Man Wu said angrily: "You old immortal, you came here with the intention of quarreling!"
Old Lady Sun walked past him and said with a chuckle: "They are all old immortals, who will die first?"
Old Man Wu pointed at her, speechless angrily.
Mrs. Sun picked up Shui'er, put her on a chair, took her hand, and said, "My Shui'er baby is here, and you want to kill me." ”
Old Man Wu poked the Wu character on the wall and said, "This is my home." ”
No one paid any attention to him.
Shui'er didn't dare to resist at this time, forced a smile, and thought that you were more than the old man, even if the spring rolls you made were delicious.
Mrs. Sun took out the spring rolls that she didn't know where to hide and waved them.
Shui'er took the spring roll, smiled innocently, took out one and put it in her mouth, making a humming sound, like happiness.
Old Man Wu inserted between the two and said, "Don't eat any spring rolls, try my pine nut candy." ”
There is food again, and the mouth of the water is open.
Mrs. Sun grabbed the old hand and said, "Shui'er is still changing her teeth, what kind of candy to eat." ”
Old Man Wu said: "What's the matter, Shui Er loves to eat one." ”
Mrs. Sun said: "No, it's not good, it's not good for children to always eat sugar." ”
Old Man Wu said, "Your spring rolls are so crispy, it's good for your teeth?"
Mrs. Sun said: "Spring rolls are not the same as sugar. ”
Old Man Wu said: "How is it different, it will only be crooked." ”
......
The old man Wu in Nancheng and the old lady Sun in Beicheng are all famous figures, and their words are very weighty, and the most famous thing is their strange temper.
In fact, the old man has a very gentle personality, and the old lady treats people very well, and the distance between the north and the south is very good, but they have to quarrel when they meet, and no one looks at anyone right.
It's not that the enemies don't meet, the enemies in the previous life, and the narrow road of the enemies are talking about their situation.
This situation was exacerbated after the appearance of the water, of course, because of the competition for water.
But the parties didn't notice this at all, and only thought that their relationship was very close.
She rolled her eyes and said, "You love each other, why don't you get married?"
