Chapter 008: A Suspicious Middle-Aged Woman
"Second Aunt Shi, my mother asked me to bring something to you, you must accept it." Yan Xiaocha put the basket on the stove and quickly looked around the Shi family's kitchen, it was indeed too small, and the few of them stood here, looking very crowded.
Gu Shi was stunned, and said generously: "Since it is the eldest sister-in-law's intention, I will naturally accept it." Let's go, go inside and drink some water, sit down and talk. β
"Okay."
A few people went directly to Anning's house, because the Shi family did not have a hall, and there were only two rooms in total.
An Le was still guarding the little wolf cub in the kitchen, and it seemed that she liked that little thing very much.
"Xiaocha, come, drink water." Gu Shi poured water and pushed it in front of Yan Xiaocha, "Auntie, there is nothing delicious to entertain you here, you have to forgive me." β
"Auntie, don't be busy, sit down. I'm not an outsider, I'm from the same village, so I don't have to be so polite. While speaking, Yan Xiaocha glanced at An Ning with a smile, "Besides, today I have become friends with Sister An Ning, in the future, I will often come to your house, auntie, don't bother me." β
"That's good, my family is peaceful but I don't have friends. With such a friend as Xiaocha taking care of each other, my aunt is much more relieved. Gu smiled so much that his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the pear vortex on his cheeks loomed, Yan Xiaocha was stunned for a moment, and Nana said, "Auntie, you are so beautiful." β
Gu covered his mouth, smiled lowly, and said angrily: "You kid, your little mouth is so sweet." β
"Nope! Auntie, what I said is true. β
In the past, Gu's was crazy and upside down, and she also thought it was good-looking, but now that she is sober, as if she has changed, there is an elegant charm in her gestures.
She heard from the adults that the Gu family was sold by Shi Dagui and did not know where it came from, and An Ning was brought from her stomach, and it was said that it was about to give birth at that time.
Now it seems that Gu's origin is not simple at all.
"Huh! Your mother must be soaked in a honey pot every day, with a girl with such a sweet mouth. Gu Shi smiled, "I'll cook first, you guys chat." Xiaocha, I'll eat it at my aunt's house tonight. β
Eat at her house?
Yan Xiaocha hurriedly waved her hand, "Auntie, you don't have to cook for me, I'll talk to Sister An Ning for a while and then go home to help my mother cook." β
Gu Shi nodded, and did not force her to stay.
An Ning went to fetch a bamboo sieve and scissors, and poured all the lion's mane mushrooms in the bamboo basket into it, "Xiaocha, do you want to come over and help?" Or come and see how I'll show you how to clean up these lion's mane mushrooms. "Teaching others by yourself not only leaves a good impression, but also allows people to accept their feelings.
Yan Xiaocha came for the lion's mane mushroom, and when she said this, she immediately went over and squatted in front of the bamboo sieve.
"We have to clean up the debris on this lion's mane mushroom first, as well as the wood chips on it, either with a knife or scissors, to remove it." An Ning cleaned up a few, raised his eyes to look at Yan Xiaocha, and said: "Actually, it's not difficult, it's just that it's very important when it's dry, if it's not dried in time, it will affect its taste and effect." β
"What if it's raining or cloudy?"
Yan Xiaocha is a studious, and obviously, she is very interested in lion's mane mushrooms.
An Ning pointed to the earthen kang in the house, "Heat the kang and spread it on top of it to bake." β
"Sister An Ning, you are so smart, you can think of this method." Yan Xiaocha looked at her with admiration.
"I'm not smart, it's forced out by reality." An Ning said while sorting out the lion's mane mushroom: "These are all taught to me by the shopkeeper of the medical hall, he looked at my family pitifully, and knew that my family was against the mountain, so he pointed out a clear way." He said that there are few of these things, and whether he can pick them up or not depends on my creation. β
An Ning pushed all the qiΔ onto the body of the shopkeeper of the medical hall.
She told Yan Xiaocha about this, and after Yan Xiaocha went home, she would definitely tell her mother that if someone used this to make waves in the future, she would not be afraid.
"Sister An Ning, let me follow you up the mountain in the future." Yan Xiaocha's face was slightly red when she said this.
An Ning smiled and said briskly: "Of course it's no problem, another day, I'll ask the shopkeeper to see if he can teach me to recognize medicinal materials." We are leaning against the mountain here, and there should be a lot of medicinal herbs. This lion's mane mushroom is not available all year round, and we usually pick herbs to sell them. β
Hearing this, Yan Xiaocha's eyes lit up and she nodded.
Go up the mountain to collect medicine, she can do this.
Suddenly, An Ning's words changed sharply, and Yan looked at Yan Xiaocha solemnly, "However, Xiaocha, we can't just talk to people outside." We don't steal or rob, and there's no need to tell others about everything. To put it mildly, don't think I'm a little belly, you and I are friends, I don't care about anything, but the rest of the people in the village, how they usually treat us as mothers, you also know this, so I can't be so generous. β
"Sister An Ning, I understand this, if you believe me, I will definitely not sue others."
"Well, I believe you."
Yan Xiaocha looked at the lion's mane mushroom full of bamboo sieves, and said, "I'll help too." β
"Give you these scissors, I'll go get the woodcutter and come in." An Ning was not polite to her, and directly handed her the scissors, "You just do what I just did." β
"Okay! I've just seen it clearly. β
Yan Xiaocha is a person with fast hands and feet, and with her help, she quickly cleaned up the lion's mane mushrooms that were picked back.
"Sister Anning, do you still go up the mountain to collect firewood in the afternoon?"
"I have to go again, I don't have much firewood at home, I have to take advantage of the weather to prepare more."
"Then I'll go too, I'll call you after dinner." After Yan Xiaocha finished speaking, he waved his hand, "I'll go home first." β
"Hmm."
An Ning dried the lion's mane mushroom to the backyard, and seeing that she didn't have to be busy in the kitchen, she went to see the three hens again. The three hens walked freely around the yard, picking here and pecking there, and seemed to have adapted to this place.
An Ning tilted her head and rubbed her chin, wondering what kind of chicken coop she would make.
What a chicken coop.
She looked around the courtyard and saw some stones in the corner, so she had an idea. Carrying the basket to the foot of the hill in the backyard to dig up the red mud, mentioning the front yard to put water and make sticky mud paddles, under the wall against the kitchen, she used the yellow mud paddles to build stones, ready to make a chicken coop with a small stone house.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
An Le came out with the little wolf cub in his arms.
"I want to make a sturdy coop."
"Then I'll help too." An Le hurriedly carried the little wolf cub back to the kitchen and rushed out, "Sister, I'll help move the stones." β
"Okay, but you have to be careful not to carry too much." An Ning whispered.
An Le nodded, "I know. β
One person moves stones, one person builds bases, and sure enough, the speed is fast. When I got to the back, An Ning's hands were also a lot sharper, with a small stone here and a mud paddle to paste there, which was also decent.
Gu Shi came out after cooking and saw that the two sisters had already built half of a chicken coop the size of a stove.
There were not enough stones in the yard, and the food was cooked, thinking that he would have to go up the mountain to collect firewood in the afternoon, An Ning decided to put it first.
"Anle, wash your hands and eat first, and I'll get this when I have time."
Gu had already fetched water in the basin, and the two sisters washed their hands and went to the kitchen for lunch together.
Not long after eating, Yan Xiaocha came with a firewood knife, and the three of them went up the mountain together.
In the evening, An Ning made braised pork with fresh lion's mane mushrooms and pork belly, and while it was hot, the two sisters went to Grandma Sun's house with torches.
"Who?" Grandma Sun closed the door early, and she coped with dinner casually, just freshened up, and was ready to go to bed, when she heard someone knocking on the door, she put on her clothes again and came out to stand behind the door to ask.
"It's me, Anle, mother-in-law open the door."
Crunch, Grandma Sun opened the door, looked at the two sisters, and asked in surprise, "It's dark this day, why are you here?" β
An Ning handed over the basket he was carrying, "Mother-in-law, we are here to return your basket, a few days ago, thank you ......"
"Come in and talk about it." Granny Sun interrupted An Ning's words, poked her head out and looked left and right, An Ning understood, and led An Le into Granny Sun's house.
The house is not big, but it is much better than the Shi family, at least she is a blue-tiled house, two on the left and right, and a hall house in the middle, and the courtyard outside is also quite spacious, and the walls are all mud walls. Grandma Sun's house is cleaned up, and she looks like a loving clean.
An Ning carried the basket into the hall and brought out a bowl of braised pork inside.
Grandma Sun was stunned when she smelled the fragrance, and when she saw a bowl full of braised pork, she was even more surprised, "An Ning, who are you?" β
Where did the Shi family get the meat?
As far as she knew, they couldn't even eat.
"Mother-in-law, I won't tell you, we have received help from noble people who have shown us a clear way. There is a kind of lion's mane mushroom in our mountain, we picked it and dried it and sent it to the town's medical center, and we also exchanged some money to buy rations and came back. We had nothing to repay our mother-in-law, so we brought her a bowl of meat. β
Grandma Sun was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and her eyes widened and looked at Anning.
"Girl Anning, are you okay?"
An Ning nodded, "Mother-in-law, An Ning will not die, and many things will be figured out." In the past, if I didn't say it, I was complaining and unjust in my heart, but now that I have died once, I understand that you can't give up on yourself when you are alive. β
Grandma Sun listened and nodded frequently.
"Anning, you can think so. You see that your mother-in-law is alone, doesn't she grit her teeth and live? In the future, live a good life, my mother-in-law is really happy for you. β
"Thank you mother-in-law for your assistance, otherwise, our mothers will starve to death." An Ning thanked from the bottom of her heart, "My mother-in-law is free, so go to our house to talk to my mother, she is quite bored at home alone." β
Grandma Sun hesitated for a while.
An Ning looked at it, understood her scruples in her heart, and said: "Mother-in-law doesn't have to go to heart, I know how inconvenient my mother-in-law is, just listen to this." β
When Grandma Sun heard this, she was even more embarrassed. She took An Ning's hand, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "An Ning, my mother-in-law looks at you and is also a reasonable person." It's not that my mother-in-law doesn't want to accompany your mother, but it's inconvenient. You also know that your father, your grandmother, and your aunt, alas, are all people you can't mess with. β
"Mother-in-law, I understand." An Ning clenched her hand with her backhand, "Mother-in-law, it's getting dark, let's go back first." β
"yes, okay." Grandma Sun smiled with relief.
Although she didn't help much, and An Ning didn't give them any big gifts, at least they remembered their good, and thinking that they didn't help the wrong person, Grandma Sun was still happy in her heart.
"Goodbye, mother-in-law."
"It's dark, you go slower."
"Well, I know, mother-in-law will go back."
β¦β¦
For a few days, the weather was fine.
This time, their lion's mane mushrooms could no longer be roasted on a kang bed, and dried up after three days in the sun.
On the fourth day, it was the polder day in the town again, and this time, Yan Xiaocha came with them. The three of them went directly to the [Yongkang Medical Center] with lion's mane mushrooms on their backs, and the shopkeeper asked an apprentice to go to the warehouse to count the number, and directly calculated all the prices according to the top grades.
In fact, although this time I didn't choose to pick, after drying, An Ning picked out the bad ones and left only the top grades.
In business, she shouldn't deliver bad things, and she won't ruin her goodwill in vain.
"Girls, please go to the backyard for tea." The shopkeeper arranged the things at hand, then led An Ning and a few people into the backyard, and instructed Yahuan to make tea and bring snacks, "Few, please!" β
Seeing that the shopkeeper was so polite, Yan Xiaocha couldn't help but be a little suspicious of what An Ning said.
She said that the shopkeeper was a nobleman, taught her to know lion's mane mushrooms, and pointed to one
and pointed out a way of wealth to her. But now looking at the shopkeeper's attitude towards Sister Anning, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he is flattering? What the hell is going on?
"Shopkeeper, you don't have to be so polite."
The shopkeeper smiled, "Girl, I was in a hurry last time, and I forgot to ask the girl for your surname." β
"Don't give your surname Shi."
"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Shi." The shopkeeper nodded, "Miss Shi doesn't have to be a shopkeeper at a time, if a few girls don't mind, just call me Fan Bo." β
"Yes, Vanber." An Ning followed the advice, "In this case, then Fan Bo will call me An Ning directly in the future, this is my sister An Le, and this is my good sister Yan Xiaocha." β
Luo Luo generously introduced the two people who came with him to him, without any twisting, which made people feel very atmospheric and comfortable.
Fan Bo smiled lightly.
An Le and Yan Xiaocha also then called: "Fan Bo." β
The maids came in with freshly brewed tea and snacks, and Fan Bo made a gesture and said, "You drink tea and eat some snacks, Niujiao Village is far away from the town, you must be hungry all the way, right?" Eat, you don't have to be so polite here in Fan Bo in the future. β
"Thank you, Vanber." A few people thanked them, but they only brought tea to drink, and did not eat snacks.
When Fan Bo saw it, he nodded secretly.
After a while, the apprentice came in with an empty bamboo basket, "If you go back to the shopkeeper, there will be a hundred in total." β
Fan Bo raised his hand, "Got it, you go down and get busy first." β
"Yes, shopkeeper."
Fan Bo looked at An Ning, "An Ning, this number is not wrong, right?" β
"That's right."
"Then do you want a silver ticket this time, or cash?"
"Cash, Uncle, this time I have to trouble you to divide it into two parts, one is twenty-six taels, two ten taels, and the other is broken silver; The other one is the same, seven taels of ten taels, and the rest is broken silver. An Ning remembered Yan Xiaocha's twenty-six lion's mane mushrooms very clearly, and if she wanted to divide the money here, it would be convenient for Yan Xiaocha to buy something on the street later.
Fan Bo nodded and got up, "Then you sit down for a while, and I'll go get the silver." β
After Fan Bo left, Yan Xiaocha was finally not calm, "Sister An Ning, a lion's mane mushroom is a tael of silver?" β
Oh my God, the price is staggering.
She thought it would be a shame if one could be sold for a few bucks.
"Xiaocha, you calm down." An Ning curled the corners of her mouth.
"Where can I be calm, one is only one or two silver. Oh my God, Sister An Ning, we're going to make a fortune. β
An Le looked at Yan Xiaocha's appearance, covered his mouth and smiled.
An Ning shook her head and smiled without saying a word.
That's where it goes. Besides, the number of this lion's mane mushroom is obviously not much, and if you pick it a few more times, it will be gone, and if you let the people in the village know, I am afraid that it will be directly extinct. It's a pity that she can't plant, if not, she has a steady stream of ways to make a fortune.
An Ning didn't plan to make a fortune with lion's mane mushrooms, and she was able to earn her first pot of gold, which was beyond her expectations.
It didn't take long for Fan Bo to come in with two money bags, "An Ning, you take an inventory." β
An Ning directly accepted it and handed the missing one to Yan Xiaocha, "Uncle Fan, how can I not trust you, let's go buy something on the street, this will not disturb Uncle Fan's busyness." β
Yan Xiaocha held the heavy money bag, and her heart was pounding.
It was the first time she had received so much silver, and it was still hers.
"That's fine! Go ahead. β
After An Ning and the others left, Fan Bo immediately went to Meng Chenxi's room, "Master, that girl's surname is Shi, and her name is An Ning." β
"I know that." Meng Chenxi flipped through the medical book, "How many lion's mane mushrooms did she send today?" β
"One hundred, but this time she brought a girl from the same village, and gave twenty-six taels to others, it seems that the hundred were not picked by Miss Shi alone." Fan Bo reported truthfully, and at this time, there was a commotion outside.
Fan Bo looked at Meng Chenxi cautiously.
Meng Chenxi didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "Get busy with your go." β
"Yes, sir."
At the door of the [Yongkang Medical Center], several family members blocked the way of An Ning and the three of them, "Miss Shi, my wife is invited, please go to Feng Mansion with us." β
Mrs. Feng Fu?
An Ning led An Le to the side, "I don't know!" Excuse me. β
The family hurriedly stopped again, "Miss Shi, you saved my eldest son here that day, and my wife wants to thank the girl in person." β
After he mentioned this, An Ning remembered the man in Chinese clothes who was crazy that day, and said with a faint expression: "No need to thank you, it's just a gesture." β
"Miss Shi, don't make it difficult for us to be subordinates."
An Ning frowned, faintly angry, where did she embarrass them? Nima, is this a rescue accident? She doesn't want other people's thanks?
"What's wrong?" Vanber walked out of it.
Those family members seemed to be very familiar with Fan Bo, bowed to him, and said, "Shopkeeper, here a few days ago, Miss Shi saved my eldest son." After going back, Mrs. learned that she asked the little ones to wait for Miss Shi here, wanting to thank her in person. β
"I said, no."
An Ning coldly repeated.
Fan Bo was stunned for a moment, and looked at An Ning inquiringly.
People asked to thank her, but why did she refuse?
Those family members seem to be gradually impatient, and disdain gradually appears in their eyes, didn't they just happen to save their son once? Now I invite her to thank her, she still puts such a big score, look at her shabby dress, she really thinks she is some kind of amazing character.
An Ning's sharp gaze took the disdain of those people into his eyes, slightly hooked his lips, holding An Le in one hand and Yan Xiaocha in the other, and the three of them bypassed the carriage and left.
A few family members were about to stop him, but Fan Bo hurriedly stopped him, "A few little brothers, since this girl said no, you."
No need, can't you go back to Mrs. Feng like this? Why chase after it so relentlessly? Whether to save or not, whether to thank or not, should be Miss Shi's freedom, right? β
When the family members heard this, they felt that it was the same thing, so they stopped chasing it.
They arched their hands at Fan Bo and said, "Shopkeeper, let's take our leave." β
[Yongkang Medical Center] can be said to be the head doctor of the Feng Mansion, especially since there is a crazy son in their family, and it is inevitable that he will come to the door for a follow-up diagnosis or something in three days. Over time, the people in the Feng Mansion were familiar with the people in the [Yongkang Medical Hall].
"A few people walk slowly." Fan Bo stood at the gate and watched from a distance as An Ning and the others entered the grain store.
This tranquility really made him curious.
What kind of girl is she?
An Ning and the three of them entered the grain shop, and the shopkeeper recognized An Ning and An Le at a glance, and greeted them with a smile, "Girl, what do you want today?" β
"The shopkeeper, press the last time, just fill my bamboo basket with half of rice and half of flour." As she spoke, she looked around and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have a lot of material here?" Or what other spices for cooking? β
"Yes, yes, what do you want?" The shopkeeper hurriedly responded.
"Star anise, fennel, peppercorns, fragrant fruit, bay leaves, cinnamon, dried chili peppers, three taels each." An Ning read a few spices that she was familiar with, and the shopkeeper over there looked at her stunned, and An Ning asked, "Aren't there any of these?" β
The shopkeeper replied and nodded, "Yes, yes, all of these." Girl, wait a minute, I'll weigh you all the same. β
"Okay."
Yan Xiaocha was confused when she heard this, and curiously leaned over to An Ning's side, and asked lightly: "Sister An Ning, what are the things you said that I only know about octagonal, and what are the others?" β
"It's like star anise, it's all fragrant." An Ning was succinct and appalling.
Her eyes were shining, and Yan Xiaocha looked at An Ning with adoring eyes, "Sister An Ning, how can you know so many things, I really admire you." β
"It's nothing, don't worship me." An Ning didn't want to keep the question on herself, so she asked, "Xiaocha, haven't you thought about buying something?" β
Speaking of this topic, Yan Xiaocha immediately came to her senses, "Yes, yes." I'm going to pull a piece of cloth for my mother, buy some osmanthus cake for my grandfather, buy a pound of beef with sauce for my father, buy a pair of beads for myself, and cut some meat to go back to make a tooth sacrifice for everyone. After thinking about it, she said again: "By the way, I still have to buy some paper and ink for Brother Feng Lin." β
Yan Fenglin is the pride of the Yan family, and it seems that the hope of all people to glorify their ancestors is pressed on him.
Speaking of Yan Fenglin, Yan Xiaocha cautiously glanced at An Ning, and seeing that her face was the same, she was a little relieved.
These days, she didn't dare to go to Yan Fenglin, and she didn't dare to convey An Ning's words to him.
She was very worried that Yan Fenglin would not be able to stand this blow.
The shopkeeper quickly weighed the things one by one, and helped An Ning put the things into her bamboo basket, "Girl, where do you live?" Next time, if you drop by, when I deliver the goods, I will simply carry some for you, so that you don't have to carry such heavy things. β
"Horn Village."
The shopkeeper was silent for a moment and nodded, "Girl, our goods are not delivered there, but sometimes they are sent to Dahe Village next door." The next delivery is five days later, if the girl needs it, I will let Xiao Er send it to you, okay? β
It's not easy for him to look at this girl's family.
"That's okay, if you can, the shopkeeper will send me a stone of rice, a stone of flour, and two pieces of silver, and I will let the little second brother bring it back." Is that okay? When An Ning heard this, he immediately agreed. Carrying it back so far can only be carried a little at a time, which is not only tiring, but also time-consuming.
Besides, she couldn't have come to town twice in three days.
"Naturally, I will give the silver two when the goods arrive, I don't know the girl's surname."
"Don't have your surname Shi, you can ask Xiao Er where Shi Anning's family is."
The shopkeeper nodded, "The old man remembers, the girl walks slowly." β
"Goodbye to the shopkeeper."
Out of the grain shop, Yan Xiaocha couldn't help but say: "Sister An Ning, how can you casually tell people their names?" β
"Isn't that what people call names? Besides, a village girl, there are not so many curves. An Ning looked indifferent, "Let's go, we have a lot of things to buy." β
"Okay."
When Yan Xiaocha went to pull the cloth, An Ning thought of the child in Gu's belly, and also pulled a muslin cloth, ready to take it back and let Gu make some children's clothes, shoes and socks and the like.
Everything was almost finished, and it was already noon.
"Let's go eat a bowl of noodles."
"Sister, don't you need it? Let's buy a few steamed buns and eat them on the road. "Anle is very frugal, and he is reluctant to spend money.
An Ning rubbed her head, "If you don't eat, you have the strength to hurry, go, eat noodles." β
The three of them went to a noodle restaurant next to a vegetable market.
"Boss, three bowls of shredded pork noodles."
When An Le heard this, he grabbed An Ning's hand again, "Sister, I'll just eat vegetarian noodles." β
"Now is the time for you to grow your body, and you have to keep up with the nutrition." An Ning didn't follow her, looking at them and waiting for them to give the letter, "Three bowls of shredded meat noodles." β
"Okay, three girls, wait a minute."
After a while, the boss brought three bowls of steaming shredded pork noodles over, "Three girls, please use it slowly." β
An Ning nodded, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched all the shredded meat in his bowl into An Le's bowl, "Eat, after eating, let's go to the vegetable market, and then go home." "This time, I don't have to wait for dark to enter the village, anyway, An Ning doesn't plan to hide the matter of lion's mane mushrooms anymore.
An Le handed over the shredded meat, and An Ning glanced at her, "You eat, don't clip it around." β
The little hand paused, then returned and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yan Xiaocha looked at their sisters, and was a little envious of An Le, it was really happy to have such a sister in pain
It's a blessing.
"You don't eat? If you don't eat it again, the noodles will be lumpy. An Ning drank a few sips of noodle soup, and when she saw Yan Xiaocha still looking at herself in a daze, she reminded her lightly.
"Oh, eat, I'll eat."
Yan Xiaocha's face was hot, feeling like she had done something bad and was caught red-handed. In the past few days, she always likes to look at An Ning from time to time, and the more she observes, the heavier the mystery in her heart becomes. Tranquility is like a fog of mystery, but this fog of mystery is bottomless.
"Boss, check out."
"It's thirty in total."
"Give."
"Girl, I'll come back later."
Out of the noodle shop, Yan Xiaocha counted ten cents from her purse, "Sister An Ning, this is my noodle money." β
An Ning glanced at Yan Xiaocha with a flaming gaze, and Yan Xiaocha became a little embarrassed.
"I can afford a bowl of noodles. Xiaocha, we are good sisters, and we will be together for a long time in the future, are you sure you want to count it clearly with me like this? An Ning said lightly: "Then should I give you a discount on the flour you brought to my house last time?" β
"No, no." Yan Xiaocha suddenly felt that the copper coin in his hand was very hot, and hurriedly put it in his purse, "Sister An Ning, I won't be like this in the future." β
"Well, I like to be straightforward and have no pressure to get along."
"yes, I see."
"Let's go! Let's go and see if the butcher shop doesn't have anything yet. An Ning is such a character, she will remember the good of others. Last time, the butcher shop owner and his wife left a good impression on her, so she also led Yan Xiaocha and went straight to that house.
"Girl, what do you want today? A little more meat today, and if you want bones or something, I've got it here. The proprietress recognized An Ning at a glance, and hurriedly brought the big bones and pig's trotters in the bamboo basket to the table.
An Ning smiled and nodded, and said to Yan Xiaocha on the side: "Xiaocha, this proprietress is very good, let's buy it here, right?" If you want anything, tell the proprietress sΓΉ, and she will definitely cut it for you. β
The smile on the proprietress became even stronger when she saw that she had brought the guests herself.
"Boss, give me the big bones and pig's trotters in the basket, as well as these net oils, and weigh four catties of meat." An Ning pointed to something on the countertop.
"Hey, you wait, it'll be right away." The proprietress responded crisply, cut the meat neatly, put it on the scale, and put it all in the bamboo basket.
An Ning looked at it, it was exactly four catties, and she couldn't help but admire the boss's knife skills.
"It's a total of 200 Wen, I'll pinch it for you, you can give 200 Wen."
"Thank you, hostess." An Ning paid the money happily.
Yan Xiaocha on the side was still hesitating about what meat to buy, and seeing that An Ning had already bought it, she pointed to the pork belly and said, "Boss, also weigh me four catties of pork belly." β
The proprietress nodded, and went down with a knife, four catties, just right.
looked at An Ning and was stunned.
That's accurate.
She doesn't even need a scale.
After paying, the three of them hurried back, and the proprietress shouted from behind: "Girl, come back next time." β
An Ning turned around and waved at her.
On the way, Yan Xiaocha was very excited, in comparison, An Le was a lot calmer this time.
"Sister An Ning, in the future, I will follow you."
"Silly, I'm not a man, you follow me, is your father willing?"
Yan Xiaocha was stunned, looking at the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, she realized that An Ning was joking with her. Grinning, she didn't care about taking An Ning's words, "If Daddy agrees, do you agree?" β
An Ning stopped, rubbing her chin and looking her up and down.
Yan Xiaocha was looked at by her like this, and she was like a morning glow, stomping her feet shyly, and her little daughter's twisting and delicate posture appeared, "Sister An Ning, why are you looking at people like this?" β
"Stains, under a closer look, is also a beautiful woman. I agreed. β
Belch?
What did she say?
Yan Xiaocha stood stunned.
An Le covered his mouth and smiled, "I don't want a sister-in-law, I want a brother-in-law." β
An Ning was scorched by her words, a little yellow-haired girl, she knows what a sister-in-law is and what a brother-in-law is?
"Comfort, shhhh
Yan Xiaocha looked at it and laughed.
"Beauty, don't laugh too loudly, this is not the laughter that a beautiful woman should have."
"Sister Anning."
"Look, this is what the little daughter's family should look like, how beautiful it is."
"Sister, then why don't you be the same as Sister Xiaocha?" An Le looked up at Xiao Ji and looked at An Ning with a puzzled expression.
An Ning's face remained unchanged, and she said seriously: "Xiaocha is a beautiful woman, I'm not, I'm a woman, so I don't have to be like her." β
"Female man?"
How fresh this word is, An Le and Yan Xiaocha looked at her in unison.
"Hurry up, don't talk about it." An Ning diverted the subject.
"You can also chat while you are in a hurry, and you can walk while chatting, so that you don't get tired." Yan Xiaocha said with a smile, "Sister An Ning, you haven't expressed your stance on what happened just now?" β
"Which thing?"
"Sister An Ning, I won't take you like this."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You really don't remember?"
An Ning patted her head suddenly, a little annoyed, "Look at my memory, you mean to follow my affairs, right?" β
Yan Xiaocha nodded.
At this time, An Le objected loudly, "I don't agree. She glared at Yan Xiaocha with some displeasure, and said righteously, "I don't want a sister-in-law." β
"Hahaha......"
Hearing this, An Ning and Yan Xiaocha laughed.
On this day, when they returned to the village, it was not yet dark, and the three of them were no longer taboo, ignoring the eyes of the villagers, and carried their things home.
"An Ning, go home and have a look." When Granny Sun saw An Ning and them coming back, she hurriedly greeted them, looking anxious.
Heart, with a chuckle, An Ning immediately thought of Shi Dagui, who had never taken a photo, but had been set as a scumbag in her heart. She left Anle behind, and ran to Shi's house.
Granny Sun shouted from behind, "You run slower." β
A woman surrounded her, looked at the things in the bamboo basket on An Le and Yan Xiaocha's backs, and secretly smashed her mouth, "An Le, how come your family has the money to buy these things?" Could it be that it was sent by the Feng family? β
What the Feng family?
An Le frowned, ignored the people, and trotted home.
"Phew, it's really shameless, in order to climb up to the Feng family, that Ning Ning actually didn't even want a woman's reputation, it was really a shame for our Niujiao Village." Someone snorted at An Le with a look of disdain.
Yan Xiaocha frowned and looked at the man unhappily, "Fourth sister-in-law, you can eat this meal indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." Sister An Ning is not that kind of person, don't say this behind your back about a girl who has not come out of the cabinet. You don't know anything, and it hurts to say that. β
The Li family and Yan Xiaocha are in the same room, and Yan Xiaocha has to call her the fourth sister-in-law when they line up.
Grandma Sun also agreed, "Yes, it's not easy for people to be peaceful, so you can keep some virtue." β
When Li Shi heard this, her heart was full of anger, but because Yan Xiaocha was Li Zheng's own granddaughter, she didn't dare to scold people directly, "Xiaocha, it's not that the fourth sister-in-law is troublesome, and the fourth sister-in-law is also good for you." There are so many girls your age in the village, why do you want to be with that crazy girl? Aren't you afraid that you will come to the door to say goodbye in the future, and hear that you have such a friend, and you will retreat? β
Yan Xiaocha listened, her face was like frost, she looked at Li coldly, and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about what kind of friends I make, besides, I am not a person who doesn't know right from wrong, who is good and who is bad, I know in my heart." You say that Sister An Ning is not good, but at least she will not say bad things about others behind her back, even if everyone has not treated her well. β
With that, she turned and went home.
She had to put her things down and let her grandfather go to Shi's house to see them.
If it was really Shi Dagui who went home to beat people and make trouble, his grandfather could stop him a little.
"Dad, mother, grandfather, where are you?" Yan Xiaocha shouted loudly when she entered the house.
"Why did you just come back, this kid, babbling? If there's anything that can't be done well, look at you like this, how can you look like a girl's family? Yu hurriedly came out of the hall and scolded Yan Xiaocha when he saw Yan Xiaocha's anxious face.
Father Yan and Old Man Yan also walked out.
"Xiaocha, what's wrong?"
Yan Xiaocha put down the bamboo basket, stepped forward and pulled Old Man Yan out, "Grandfather, then Shi Dagui went home to beat people and make trouble again, go and take a look." β
Old Man Yan stood still and looked at Yan Xiaocha strangely, "Xiaocha, you didn't care so much about the Shi family's affairs before?" β
"Grandfather, I'll tell you about this little by little, and now you go to the rescue first." Yan Xiaocha was so anxious, Yu listened to it, and also agreed, "Dad, you are the leader of the village, or go to the Shi family to have a look." β
Father Yan went to pull Yu's family, Yu turned his head and glared at him, and he swallowed everything he was going to say into his stomach.
Old Man Yan glanced at Yu and Yan Xiaocha lightly, and walked out, "Let's go, I'll take a look." β
Shi family.
An Ning ran home in one breath, and when she looked at the carriage parked at the gate of the courtyard, she stopped.
Patted his chest and adjusted his breathing.
There is a carriage parked, so it can't be Shi Dagui coming back, but, who will come to the door?
"Sister, sister, you wait for me." An Le chased after him, and when he saw the carriage at the door of his house, he was also stunned, and looked at An Ning suspiciously, "Sister, whose carriage is it?" How do you stop at our doorstep? β
An Ning frowned and shook her head.
She originally guessed that it was the Feng family, but after a closer look, it was not.
Who is coming?
"Let's go! Let's go in and have a look. β
"Mother, we're back." The two sisters shouted loudly as they entered the courtyard gate.
Gu Shi hurriedly walked out of the house, followed by a middle-aged woman wearing a red dress, a big red flower on her head, and a big makeup on her face. Her round white face and blood-red mouth frightened An Le into hiding behind An Ning.
This man is terrifying.
If it was a big night, she ran out so suddenly, she would have to scare people to death.
"Peace, peace, you are back. Quick, put things down and take a break. β
The middle-aged woman's eyes kept chasing An Ning, and the smile on the corner of her mouth grew.
"Oh." An Ning and An Le carried the bamboo basket to the kitchen, An Le tugged on An Ning's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, who is that?" It's scary. β
An Ning shook her head.
She wanted to know too.
The two sisters washed their hands and faces in the yard, took the cotton cloth handed by Gu, wiped off the water droplets on their faces, and then glanced at the middle-aged woman and asked lightly, "Mother, are there guests at home?" β
Gu's face changed slightly, and before he could speak, the woman behind him walked over with a smile and a handkerchief, looked An Ning up and down, and nodded frequently.
