Chapter 139: She's a Strong Woman
When I came back with money saved from a rural cooperative, it was already dark.
Liu Xing saw that the streets of the market were empty and there were few people, so he immediately closed the door of the shoe store.
Seeing that the eldest sister and brother-in-law were planting rice and hadn't come back yet, they rolled up their sleeves and went into the kitchen to make a meal.
Xiao Budian, Lan Lan, and melon seeds, who were playing in the backyard, smelled the fragrance of the food, and hurriedly ran out one by one, blocking the door of the kitchen and stretching their necks to watch. I was very happy to see that there were ribs to eat at night.
Among them, Guazi saw that Liu Xing was busy alone, so he hurriedly moved a small bench and sat in front of the stove to help add firewood. But because the firewood was not dry enough, the smoke came out all at once.
Lan Lan, who was watching the play on the side, was accidentally choked, and while coughing, she hurriedly covered her tearful eyes and ran away.
Xiao Budian followed behind, and was about to shout melon seeds to run out together, but the smoke quickly disappeared.
It turned out that Liu Xing saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly took out the two wet firewood in the earthen stove.
But the melon seeds were not spared the influence of the smoke, and when they were carried out by Liu Xing, the whole person's little face turned black.
This made Lan Lan endure more than smile, and Xiao Budian couldn't help laughing.
Liu Xing also smiled: "Hurry up and wash your face in the backyard, I don't need your help to stir-fry." ”
"Uh-huh!" melon seeds nodded.
Taking advantage of Lan Lan's inattention, he smeared the pot ash on Lan Lan's face and ran to the backyard.
"Don't run!" Lan Lan saw that she had turned into a big flower face in an instant, and hurriedly chased after her, but she was not angry, but she had a sweet smile on her pretty face.
Seeing this, Xiao Budian also followed, and after a while, the three little ones were fighting in the backyard.
That happy laughter spread far and wide.
Even Zhao Dongkui, who was planting rice in the paddy field, heard it.
When he saw that it was dark, he even said to Liu Dongju, who was bending down behind him to concentrate on planting seedlings: "Daughter-in-law, go back to cooking!
"There's no need to rush to cook, he'll take care of it when my brother comes back. Liu Dongju stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead: "Don't forget, my family has been planting fields for the past two days, we are busy here, and we can go back to help when the time comes." ”
There is no way, Liu Xing has helped build even the blue brick flat-roofed house in her house these days.
If this rice planting doesn't go back to help, it will definitely be gossiped about by other villagers in saltpeter village.
So...... Even if you do more now, you have to go back and stop the gossip of the villagers.
Zhao Dongkui didn't know what Liu Dongju was thinking, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "You don't have to worry about your seedling field this time, didn't you see that the previous Director Li and Director Liu said that they were going to help plant seedlings? ”
"You believe their words. Liu Dongju glanced at Zhao Dongkui: "If you come, you will come, don't expect too much." ”
"Also, otherwise I wouldn't have cheated Liu Xing before. Zhao Dongkui nodded in agreement.
"Stop chattering, plant seedlings quickly. Liu Dongju saw that the moon in the sky had come out, so he hurriedly picked up the seedlings in the paddy field, and after shaking off the water, he untied the rice rope and inserted it attentively.
Zhao Dongkui saw that there were no seedlings behind him, and was about to go to the seedling field to pick some over, but the next second he was stunned.
It turned out that his father Zhao Geng took his younger brother Zhao Wuliang to roll up his pants and go to the paddy field at this time to help plant the seedlings.
Zhao Gou and Zhao Liang also came later, and without saying a word, they helped provoke the seedlings.
"Brother, I'm just here to eat at your house. Zhao Liang said with a smile.
"You kid. Zhao Dongkui laughed.
Liu Dongju was also a little happy when she heard this.
After all, in the past, it would have been impossible for her family to have so many people to help.
Seeing that her mother-in-law 'Li Qing' also went down to the paddy field, she had to climb up the ridge of the field in a daze: "Dongkui, I'll go back to cook, and when you come back, remember to call your parents and Wuliang to come to the house to eat together." ”
As for the names of Zhao Gou and Zhao Liang, she didn't mention it.
Of course, you don't need to, because you don't need to be polite to them.
"Ahh Zhao Dongkui even agreed.
Li Qing and Zhao Geng couldn't help but laugh when they saw that Liu Dongju was such a good person, and the speed of planting rice under their hands was a little faster.
But Zhao Wuliang was stunned, as soon as he heard that Liu Dongju was going back to cook, he immediately shouted: "Sister-in-law, I want to eat the braised pork you made, I don't know if there is one tonight?"
"Yes!" Liu Dongju said this with a smile, washed his hands and feet and left.
Zhao Wuliang was happy when he heard this.
But Li Qing was annoyed, and stepped forward to slap you: "When you were at home, was I hungry for you? As soon as I opened my mouth, I asked Dong Ju if I wanted braised pork to eat, do you want face?"
"Mom, you're not hungry for me, but the braised pork you make is not as delicious as your sister-in-law. Zhao Wuliang couldn't help but scold.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gou, who helped pick seedlings, as well as Zhao Liang and Zhao Geng, who planted seedlings, couldn't help laughing.
Li Qing wanted to scold with a dark face, but in the end he endured it.
Because she knew that what Zhao Wuliang said was true, her daughter-in-law's cooking skills were really much better than hers.
It's just that she doesn't understand why she always looked at Liu Dongju unpleasantly before.
Now that I think about it, she was really blinded by lard.
Zhao Geng saw Li Qing's thoughts, and after sighing lightly, he said: "Don't work in the fields, it's dark this day, hurry up and go to the kitchen to help stir-fry, otherwise when will there be food to eat!"
"Eat, eat, eat! know how to eat. Li Qing didn't want to go to the kitchen to be with Liu Dongju, so after scolding, he buried his head and planted the seedlings.
Zhao Geng looked at it and shook his head, but he didn't dare to say more.
......
Half an hour later.
Xiao Budian appeared on the ridge with his little short legs: "Grandpa, grandma! ”
"Silly girl, this seedling hasn't been planted yet!" Zhao Liang replied with a smile.
"Wo didn't call you just a meal. Xiao Budian tilted his little head and smiled.
"Hahaha...... That's it, it's me who shouts. Zhao Geng was happy when he saw Xiao Budian, so he washed his hands and feet and climbed up the ridge.
This embarrassed Zhao Liang, but he didn't say anything.
After all, he was eating in Zhao Dongkui, so he really didn't need to shout, anyway, he was an old fritter.
Li Qing also had this smile on her face when she looked at Xiao Bu's cute appearance: "You take grandpa to eat first, and grandma will go when she is done." ”
"You liar, every time you eat at Wo's house, you always sneak away. Xiao Budian squatted on the ridge: "Ma Ma said, if you don't go to Qiafan this time, you can't go back." ”
"You kid. Li Qing couldn't laugh or cry.
Seeing that Zhao Geng, Zhao Liang, Zhao Dongkui, Zhao Gou and others were waiting for him on the ridge, there was no way, so he also washed his hands and feet and climbed up the ridge.
"Grandma, hurry up. Xiao Budian took Li Qing's right hand and ran in the direction of the kitchen.
"Slow down!" Li Qing saw that Xiao Budian almost fell down several times, and hurriedly reached out to pick up Xiao Budian.
Only then did she know that in the past few days, this little guy has actually gained a lot of weight, and he feels so heavy and fleshy in his hand.
"Grandma, grandma, the Wojia family has ribs tonight, you go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to wait." Xiao Budian hugged Li Qing's neck and said in a milky voice.
"Okay! good!" Li Qing reached out and pinched the little little face, with a happy smile on his face.
Only then did she realize that the girl was not useless, at least she could be considerate.
is not like his youngest son Zhao Wuliang, who only knows how to ask her for money all day long, and does not do anything serious.
......
Shoe store entrance.
Liu Xing had already set the wooden table.
Lan Lan and melon seeds are helping to set the dishes and chopsticks, as well as moving stools.
In the kitchen, after Liu Dongju made the last dish, he brought a large pot of boiled fish to the wooden table.
As for the other dishes, she didn't need to greet them, Zhao Dongkui, Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou who came back were all brought up.
Li Qing saw that a large table of dishes was so sumptuous, and he didn't dare to sit down.
After all, I came to help when it got dark, and I deserved to eat so well!
Zhao Geng didn't care so much, took the little point and sat down: "Dongkui, where is your grain wine! ”
"Howler. When Zhao Dongkui heard this, he hurriedly ran to the backyard.
"Mom, you can sit too! The food is not well done, don't dislike it. ”
Liu Dongju pulled Li Qing and sat next to Zhao Geng.
Since my mother-in-law took the initiative to help plant rice today, the unpleasant things that separated the family before naturally have to be revealed and not mentioned more. After all, no matter what, Li Qing is her husband's mother-in-law, if she is right everywhere with a black face, then she will not be a person.
"This boiled fish, as well as this sweet and sour pork ribs, are made by Uncle Wo, who dares to say that it is not good?" Xiao Budian stood on the bench, grabbed a piece of pork ribs with his little hand and put it in Li Qing's mouth: "Grandma, hurry up, otherwise it will be gone later." ”
"Okay! Li Qing couldn't be moved, I don't know why, his eyes turned red at this time.
Because she really couldn't imagine that she treated Liu Dongju and Xiao Xiao like that when they broke up before, but now they not only don't dislike her, but also treat her so well, which is really unexpected.
"Huh, Dongju...... Your cooking skills have improved a lot recently?" Li Qing, who ate the ribs, suddenly asked in surprise.
"Mom, most of these dishes today are not made by me, but by my brother. Liu Dongju replied with a smile: "Didn't you listen to Xiao Budian?"
"Is his cooking skill so good?" Li Qing turned his head to look at Liu Xing, who was squatting aside and burying his head in eating, with shock in his eyes.
"These are all things that my sister taught me, and I don't have to worry about them. Liu Xing smiled and said perfunctorily.
Before getting married, Liu Dongju did teach Liu Xing to cook and stir-fry, so there is nothing wrong with this.
"Don't be modest. Li Qing laughed, I don't know why, the restraint in my heart disappeared at this time: "That's right! I heard Dongkui say that this market will be under your control in the future?"
"Yes!" Liu Xing nodded.
It is estimated that most of the villagers in Laowu Village know about this matter now, so there is no need to hide it.
"Then let me ask you something, my family wants to buy and sell loaches and yellow eels in the market, can this thing work?" Li Qing asked in a low voice, because he was afraid that Liu Xing would not agree, and after saying it, he showed a look of regret.
"Of course it works!" Liu Xing said the answer without thinking about it.
And in his opinion, in the 80s, as long as he was honest and willing to do something, he was afraid that he would make no less money than selling pork.
"If only it worked. Li Qing smiled, smiling very happily.
Liu Dongju, who was eating with dishes and chopsticks on the side, felt a little wrong when she saw this smile: "Mom, didn't Wuliang say before that he didn't like to do business?
"Yes, don't be deceived by him again, it's immeasurable for doing business. Zhao Dongkui followed.
In the past, Zhao Wuliang also thought about doing business in the bazaar to make money and marry a daughter-in-law, but in the end, he lost all his capital, and none of them could succeed, no! To be precise, none of them could last for a month.
This time, they said that they were doing loach and yellow eel business, and to be honest, they didn't believe it.
When Li Qing heard this, he naturally knew the meaning of Liu Dongju and Zhao Dongkui's words, and when he saw that there were no other outsiders around, he explained with a light cough and a smile: "You won't be lying to me this time, Yang Tangke, who is a matchmaker in the village, told Wuliang about a family matter three days ago, and the woman didn't make any excessive requests, just one thing, just do business with Wuliang in the market in the future to make money." ”
"Really?" Liu Dongju thought he had heard wrong.
Zhao Dongkui, Zhao Liang, and Zhao Gou, who were eating on the side, also looked disbelieving.
After all, in Laowu Village, no! In the entire Zhangmu Township, Zhao Wuliang's reputation for being lazy has spread, and no girl will be willing to marry him at all.
Now Li Qing said that there are girls who are willing to live with Zhao Wuliang, to be honest, this probability is really lower than the sun coming out of the west.
Li Qing looked at everyone's disbelieving eyes in his eyes, and he was not angry, but was a little happy: "Of course it's true, this girl is two years older than Zhao Wuliang, and there is a three-year-old baby by her side." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Dongkui, who was drinking soup, almost squirted out.
Liu Dongju was also a little reluctant when he heard this.
She said that it was impossible for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl to take a fancy to Zhao Wuliang, it turned out that she was taken by a woman who dragged her family.
But even if this is the case, it is also Zhao Wuliang's blessing.
Otherwise, with Zhao Wuliang's current appearance, I am afraid that no girl is willing to marry him at all.
Li Qing also meant exactly that, she saw that no one was making fun of Zhao Wuliang, and said with a light sigh: "Actually, this girl who is on a blind date with Wuliang is quite beautiful, very tall, and she has read a lot of books, according to herself, if it weren't for the lack of money in the family, going to college would be a very casual thing." ”
"Is this amazing?" Liu Dongju was a little surprised: "Then what is her name?
After all, in Zhangmu Township, there are not many people who can study in high school, and there are even fewer who are beautiful in high school.
Zhao Dongkui, Zhao Liang, and Zhao Gou also pricked up their ears and listened.
It's not that they want to inquire about the appearance of Zhao Wuliang's object, but they feel that this thing is too weird.
She is beautiful and reads a lot of books, so a girl with such conditions, even if she has a child, she is afraid that she will not worry about getting married!
Li Qing saw what was going on in everyone's hearts, smiled and said, "Dong Ju should know, he is the daughter of the Naidezhi family in Chaoyang Village!"
"It's her ???," Liu Dongju's eyes widened in shock.
"Isn't it, is it that the widow has taken a fancy to Immeasurable?" Zhao Dongkui was also a little afraid to trust his ears.
Zhao Liang was also a little confused and envious.
After all, this is the heart of the heart, no, the widow is too famous in Zhangmu Township.
is famous not for her beauty or her academic qualifications, but because on the night she got married, her husband suddenly died.
At that time, the matter was in an uproar, and her husband's parents had to be held criminally responsible.
But in the end, it was not resolved, saying that her husband died of natural causes.
Whether it was a natural death or not no one knows, but it is known that this widow is an ominous person.
Over the next few years, the subject was either hit by a car or became seriously ill.
Over time, her reputation as a widow spread in Zhangmu Township.
It's the people of HY City, I'm afraid that when I hear this nickname, I know a lot.
This time, I was willing to go on a blind date with Zhao Wuliang, and I agreed, but I am afraid that I am forced to have no choice but to feed the doll who follows me!
"What kind of expression are you guys?" Li Qing saw that everyone showed a look of disbelief, and couldn't help but say: "Actually, when Yang Tangke helped to be a matchmaker, I didn't believe it either, but in the end, I let Wuliang meet with the widow and know that it was true." ”
She doesn't want a bride price, and she doesn't need to drink when she gets married, but she just wants to do business in the market. Speaking of which, Li Qing looked at Liu Xing: "I didn't dare to pack a ticket for this matter, after all, no one knows what the above policy is, but the widow said that she wants me to find you, as long as you agree, then she is willing to marry Wuliang." ”
The implication is that Liu Xing is the person in charge of the bazaar, and she is a widow who wants to do business in the bazaar, which is not a matter of words.
But Liu Xing was vigilant when he heard it, and as soon as he heard the name of the widow, he set off a huge wave in his heart.
The reason for this reaction is because before her rebirth, the widow was a big entrepreneur in Shonan Province, and her net worth reached billions.
But he can't be sure now whether this widow is the famous widow he knew before his rebirth, after all, most of Chaoyang Village has the surname Nai, and there are several widows surnamed Nai in Zhangmu Township.
If it was really the widow he knew, then the relationship between Zhao Wuliang and her would only be yellow sooner or later.
Because if he remembers correctly, this is a widow but a strong woman, if it weren't for the current life compulsion, how could he have fallen in love with Zhao Wuliang, who is lazy and lazy.
But he can't tell Li Qing this, after all, it is the memory brought by rebirth, if there is no very reasonable explanation, I am afraid that no one will believe it at all, and it will bring very bad consequences.
Seeing that Li Qing was waiting for his reply, he was stunned and hurriedly came back to his senses: "Now the above policy has allowed all people to do business, as long as they don't buy and sell contraband, whether it's a bazaar or a city, it's okay, so ...... The widow told you what she wanted, but she didn't say anything. ”
"In other words, you agreed?" Li Qing asked excitedly.
"It's not a question of yes or no, it's about what was allowed. Liu Xing said with a smile.
Li Qing didn't think so, and after eating all the food in the bowl in three or two bites, he pulled Zhao Wuliang and walked to the street in the market: "Son, since Liu Xing agreed, then let's hurry up and find Yang Tangke and settle the relationship between you and the widow." ”
"Well, it's all up to the damn. Zhao Wuliang couldn't be happy.
Zhao Geng was a little annoyed: "Don't toss it so late, okay? Can't you go to Yang Tangke early tomorrow morning? Besides, the seedlings in the paddy fields of the Dongkui family have not been planted!"
"Isn't there still you?" After Li Qing said this, he ran away with Zhao Wuliang.
When Zhao Geng heard this, he was helpless.
Liu Dongju and Zhao Dongkui were not angry, but had a smile on their faces.
After all, the couple also looked forward to Zhao Wuliang getting married as soon as possible, but it was a matter of concern for their parents.
Liu Xing saw this scene in his eyes, and he didn't know why he couldn't laugh at all.
But he didn't want to meddle in his affairs, after all, people like Zhao Wuliang and Li Qing only knew that there was no free lunch in the world if they encountered more setbacks.
As for the widow coming to the bazaar to do business, he took it to heart.
I also believe that he, a reborn person, can face it calmly when facing a strong woman like a widow.
......
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, after Liu Xing got up to wash up and eat something, he opened the door of the shoe store and started business.
As for the matter of Liu Dongju's family planting rice, with the help of Zhao Gou, Zhao Liang, and Zhao Geng, there is no need for him to take action at all.
And because Lan Lan stayed by his side, he didn't need to worry about the errand of rearing black calves now.
It's just that the business of the shoe store is really bad because it is not a market day.
In the morning, when it was time to eat lunch, I had only done a total of less than 100 yuan in business.
Seeing that there were few pedestrians on the street, Liu Xing was about to close the door of the shoe store to eat, but suddenly he saw the four little guys of Gua Zi, Lan Lan, Xiao Budian, and Zhao Jing running back from the street of the market in a hurry.
Their little faces all had anxious looks, and Lan Lan's face was still a little pale.
"What's wrong with you?" Liu Xing asked with concern when he saw this.
"Bazaar...... There were fights in the bazaar. Lan Lan replied breathlessly.
"And the person who fought was the uncle. Xiao Budian followed up, with a worried look in his big eyes.
Guazi also wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liu Xing, he picked up Xiao Budian and asked, "Which uncle is it? ”
The reason why I say this is because many people surnamed Zhao in Zhaojia Village are uncles who are young, and if you count them carefully, there are twenty of them.
"It's Uncle Immeasurable. Xiao Budian replied.
"Oh yes, his head is swollen from being beaten, and his subject. Guazi finally found a chance to speak, and hurriedly explained.
"Huh?" Liu Xing was stunned when he heard this.
Zhao Wuliang's object, isn't that the widow?
Why was he beaten when he arrived at the market today?
This...... This shouldn't be!
Out of curiosity about things, Liu Xing put down the small dot in his hand, hurriedly walked into the kitchen and said to Liu Dongju, and then walked quickly towards the market.
"You wait for me. Liu Dongju was afraid that Liu Xing would also go to fight, so after asking Lan Lan to be optimistic about the melon seeds and Xiao Budian, she hurriedly chased after her.
