Chapter 187: Flower cloth

"You come back to me, you little bastard, where are you going?"

Cui's eyes were quick and quick, he got up from the ground, grabbed Zhang Eryong, and said nothing to let him go.

How could she let him out? He is not in front of him, who else would she show to? Today she is what she wants to do. He will serve her softly, or he will go to someone else to be his son-in-law in the future. Isn't her son in vain?

Besides, the old man's face changed when he looked at him. If he turned his face to hit her for a while, this little calf was gone and no one was holding him. She didn't want to wait and be beaten.

Zhang Eryong walked out the door, and was pulled back by his old mother. He was too strong and didn't dare to shake her because he was afraid of hurting her.

Cui cried his son again, and started crying again, "My son, you are so confused, do you really like you when you are the old Shen cunt? She is because of the old money you earned. Now, if you don’t have money and didn’t buy her those good things, don’t you see if she will take a look at you..."

"Mother, Ruolan doesn't lack money, they are richer than me, and richer than me!" Zhang Eryong shouted, almost roaring.

"Bah! What money does she have for a little girl? Just listen to her fooling you, son, why are you so stupid, what people say you believe, let me tell you, there is no one up and down in old Shen's house. Fun things, all... Emma, ​​where do you get the money?"

Cui's cursing was so vigorous, suddenly seeing Zhang Eryong take out an ingot of thin silk foot prints, a large bald silver, and suddenly forgot everything, and stretched out his hand to grab the ingot.

"Bring it, you give it to me!"

Zhang Eryong lifted his hand and escaped her old mother's attack. "Mother, this silver is not ours, it belongs to Ruolan. She asked me to carry something for her when she went to Jizhou. Mother, Ruolan is richer than ours. My family is richer. If you don’t believe me, ask my father, she even spent thirty taels of silver today to sell four girls!"

"Huh? She bought someone? Really? You didn't lie to me?"

Cui opened his mouth and cast his gaze on the old man lying resting on the kang.

Zhang Xingwang turned his face aside in disgust as soon as he saw the greedy and stupid look of his old woman, and said with no anger: "If you have long hair and short insights, your son has a mother like you. It's really bad for you for eight lifetimes. Up!"

Cui is used to being scolded by the old man. He has long been accustomed to it, and he doesn't care about it. He eagerly said: "Old man, you hurry up and tell me, is the second one true? Is that little girl really so rich? Is the second child fooling me?"

Zhang Xingwang hummed, "What do you mean? When did Er Yong lie?"

Zhang Eryong is a sincere person, always one is one, two is two, what's going on is what's going on, never lie, he was naughty when he was a child, and he could avoid punishment by telling a little lie, but he would rather be beaten and not lie. , Never lie, never lie.

After being reminded by the old man, Cui was a little bit convinced. Er Yong was indeed not a liar, and it seemed that the little girl was indeed rich.

However, she still has some questions, "She is a little girl, and she has nothing to rely on. Where does the old money come from?"

Zhang Eryong said: "Ruolan knows how to cook, and she often goes to the restaurant in the city to sell recipes. Today we get back the pot of crystal jelly that she researched out. My second uncle Shen goes into the city every day to sell crystal jelly. It’s more profitable than selling spiced peanuts!"

When saying these words, Er Yong's tone was a little proud, quite a feeling of honor and pride, saying so much, half of it was to convince his old mother, and the other half, to make her promise their marriage!

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, his mother was completely convinced. She stared and made a fuss: "Emma, ​​since it's so good, why don't you two learn the crystal jelly method? If you learn it, Don’t our family make more?"

"Mother, Lanya came up with the method. Second Uncle Shen's family is still pointing to this method to make money. How can we brazenly want to learn it?" Zhang Eryong was thundered by his old mother's ideas, and he felt more and more that he would split his family in the future. That's correct. Just his mother's temper, if Ruolan married their house, the old lady would definitely not be able to toss her lightly.

"Fart, she's all from our family, why can't our family learn her method?"

At this moment, Cui happily admitted Shen Ruolan.

Zhang Xingwang watched the old lady Qiangqiang endlessly, and even said something she didn't know, she couldn't lie down anymore, suddenly sat up, and shouted, "Can you still have a face? The daughter-in-law hasn't gotten through yet, you Just start to count people, just like you, will your daughter-in-law be proud of you in the future?"

Cui's mouth curled indifferently, he folded his hips, and said confidently, "She dare not care about me? If she dares to yell at me, I will let my son beat her to death!"

"Beat someone to death? I want to beat you to death now!" Zhang Xingwang opened his eyes and raised his leg to go to the ground.

Seeing that things were not going well, Cui hurried out and shouted as he walked, "Boss wife, where are you dead? Come over and make dumplings."

"Huzi's shit, I'll be there when he finishes wiping the shit." Xijian heard the angry voice of Zhang Dayong's wife.

"Huh, where is there so much shit? Just hide when you work, and you are lazy..."

Cui cried and babbled. In fact, she didn't have to ask her daughter-in-law to come out to work, but was so noisy on purpose. Didn't the old man want to beat her up? She called the daughter-in-law over to see the old man as embarrassed Did you do it with her?

After scaring the old woman away, Zhang Xingwang lay down again and continued to rest. He didn't really want to beat her. In her fifteenth year, who wouldn't want to stop the festival? It's just that he has just walked five or six miles, his body is a little tired, and he just wants to lie down and rest for a while, but the dead old woman is talking non-stop in the ear of Balabala, and even talking about hating people, he is also helpless. I just tried to beat her and frightened her!

At that time, Zhang Jinfeng and Zhang Dayong were both in the house. After Cui's departure, Zhang Jinfeng asked Zhang Eryong and asked Zhang Eryong, "Second brother, are you really engaged to that Shen Lanya?"

"It's none of your business."

Zhang Eryong lowered his head sternly, picked up the silver ingot, and squeezed it to make sure that the silver and the drawing were intact before he was relieved.

"Well, it doesn't matter to me."

Zhang Jinfeng also admitted that he was in charge of too much, but he had no memory, and then asked again in the next second, "What did Shen Lan tell you to help her? Give you the old money?"

"That's your sister-in-law, don't take a bite of Shen Lanya Shen Lanya!" Zhang Eryong sternly corrected.

Zhang Jinfeng curled his lips to express his disdain, but he didn't take him seriously, and continued, "Second brother, if the money can't be spent, you can buy me a box of rouge. Look at my black face, with a black dog. It's like shit, Xiaocui and the others said that I actually look pretty good, but it's too dark to hide Jun's appearance, so you can buy me a box and let me wipe it!"

Zhang Eryong looked up and glanced at the sister, and found that her description was indeed quite appropriate, but he did not agree to her.

"The money belongs to your sister-in-law, so don't worry about it."

"Then you give me some money, and I can buy it in the town myself." Zhang Jinfeng said naturally.

Zhang Eryong said coolly, "Let my mother buy you what you want, and all the money our family earns is left with her."

Zhang Jinfeng curled his lips and said bitterly, "Mother won't buy it for me, don't you know her temperament? When the money is in her hands, who can extract a penny except Sanyong?"

"You die girl, you are thinking about spending money every day. Can you compare with your brother? Your brother will be the champion in the future, and will be able to honor his ancestors. What can you do in the future?" Cui who is hiding in the kitchen has pointed ears. , When she heard the girls volleyball greet her, she immediately scolded in a sharp voice.

Zhang Jinfeng narrowed his mouth in grievance, and said that I couldn’t do anything wronged. “I’m not doing anything outside of my house this day? Just knowing that I’m allowed to do the work and buying a box of rouge will not work. Did you pick it up..."

Zhang Xingwang watched the girl's grievances, and thought about leaving tomorrow, and it will take many months to come back, so he comforted him, "You work hard with your mother at home, take good care of your family, and wait for Dad to come back and buy you a box. ."

"What do you buy? If you have the money, it's better to buy some books for Sanyong."

Cui’s ears in the kitchen heard what the old man said to the little girl, and quickly grabbed the stubbornness. Although she also felt sorry for the little girl, but the family’s money was kept for the youngest son to study. Now the little girl wants to buy it. Rouge, isn't it tantamount to delaying the family and famine, and delaying the youngest son to get the top pick?

Zhang Jinfeng yelled angrily to the kitchen: "You are eccentric. I am so unlucky that I have such an eccentric mother."

"I'm eccentric. Isn't it for your good not to let you buy rouge? Do you think it’s good to look black with a layer of rouge? Tell you, the more you apply it, the uglier it gets, just like the fall of donkey dung eggs with frost. , It makes people laugh, it's better to just be so generous and black..."

"I haven't wiped it yet. How do you know that I wiped the frost like a donkey dung egg, and you said that you are reluctant to get the money. What use is it?"

The two of them were in the kitchen, and the other Qiangqiang in the main room. No one was willing to give up. They looked at them for a while and couldn't get a clue. Zhang Eryong didn't bother to listen to them, so he went back to his room. .

Get some water, wash your face, and pick yourself up briefly.

Second Uncle Shen said that he would go to town to see the lanterns tonight, and later he would go after dinner, so that he could see her again before leaving. If you are lucky, you might have a time alone. Too!

That's it, it's definitely worth his walk to town...

Kaoshantun, the old Shen's house

Shen Dejian took Shen Ruolan, Zhaodi, Lingdi and Taidi, busy all afternoon, making ten pots of jelly, enough to sell tomorrow.

Shen Ruolan saw that it was late, and suggested that everyone set off and waited until the town to eat.

The wound on the thin girl was bandaged, and I had another hot meal and slept all afternoon. After I got up, my whole body was refreshed. I heard that I was going to the town to see the lanterns, so I just said nothing. To the ground.

Shen Ruolan was afraid that her wound would be exposed to the wind, so she deliberately found the cotton hat she had made before and brought it to her. This led them to go out happily.

The sisters have never been to see the lanterns, and Lingdi and Taidi have never even been to the town. Today, I can go to the town in a donkey cart to see the lanterns and eat delicious food. They are so excited that they can’t shut their mouths. , Twittering along the way, talking and laughing, as if forgetting the past sufferings and sorrows.

Shen Dejian sat on the cowl and looked at the cheerful girls with a touch of sadness across his eyes.

If she were still there, they could have so many children now. If the family went to town like this, how happy they would be...

Hey!

**

Town

Today is the Lantern Festival. Many people from the countryside rushed to see the lanterns. The streets were bustling with people everywhere. The shops on both sides of the street were all lit up in order to attract business. Two red lanterns were hung to meet the scene, the stalls were next to each other, the shops were next to each other, and the whole street was illuminated by thousands of lanterns in the daytime. It was especially lively!

It was the first time that Shouya saw such a lively scene. Their eyes were not enough. They had to look at every stall for a while. Pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, needles and brains, and even the sellers of steamed buns. Don’t let it go, standing in front of the other’s stall, looking at the seven or eight steamers stacked with steamed buns and steamed buns, I was curious. Give them some steamed stuffed buns to make them all embarrassed.

"Root-moon, fragrant and soft Root-moon! Come and taste it when you pass by! We are a time-honored brand in Xichuan, and we are here especially to sell it in town today. You don’t have to travel far if you haven’t eaten it before. , You can eat it at home!"

There are many stalls selling all kinds of snacks on the side of the road, one after the other, there are people on the seats next to each, and many people take the bought snacks and eat all the way, Shen Ruolan's eyes are watching everywhere, excited It's very.

Roujiamo!

Hearing these words, Shen Ruolan's heart moved. Once in her previous life, she was on a business trip in Beijing. She lived in the Chang'an Grand Hotel near Panjiayuan. There was a Shaanxi meat dumpling next to it. It was so delicious. After eating, she kept thinking about it. , I don't know what the Roujiamo here is like, I can't catch up with the deliciousness of that one.

"Master, let's have a few meat dumplings. Let's come for one day. Next time you want to eat it, we will go to Xichuan. Why don't you buy some for your kids to try!"

The guy standing in front of the stall was winking. Seeing that Shen Dejian was well dressed, he knew that he was a rich man, so he tried his best to make a sale for him.

Shen Dejian looked back at Shen Ruolan and saw that she seemed to want to eat, so he no longer hesitated.

"Okay, let us have one!" He waved his hand and asked Shen Ruolan and Shouya to come and sit down.

Shouya and Zhaodi hesitated for a while, then said, "Second Uncle, we are not hungry, we just eat one."

Shen Ruolan grinned and said, "Don't you still say today that we let you do what you do? Now, my father and I let you each eat a steamed bun. If you can't eat it anymore, you have to give it to me."

The Shou Ya sisters wanted to save some money for Lan Ya, but Lan Ya didn't follow it. They looked at the fragrant, attractively colored pork buns, and finally had to compromise.

The stall was cleaned up, and the steamed buns came up soon. The steamed buns are mainly composed of meat and film. The meat is cured meat, and the buns are white buns. The white buns are thin and crispy. , The heart is soft, and the white surface is still roasted a few times. It is brown. It tastes **** the outside and soft on the inside. It is very interesting. When making bacon, wash the fresh pork, put it in the pot, and add Put water and unique ingredients, and boil it over high heat for half an hour, and the fragrant bacon meat will be made. Then cut the white chicken bun from the middle, don't cut it to the bottom, just put the cooked bacon meat directly It is sandwiched between the white chicken buns, plus coriander and wax sauce. If you like spicy food, you can also add chili. The color is delicious and the flavor is delicious.

"It's so delicious!"

The thin girls admired as they ate. They were very satisfied. They had never eaten such a delicious food in their entire lives, and they had never been so happy as they are now.

Shen Ruolan said, "It's really delicious, but there is still a lot of food ahead. Let's eat as a family. Don't let the family eat as much as you can, otherwise you won't be able to taste more."

Shen Dejian was also very happy to see his daughter in high spirits. After eating the pork bun, he led him and continued to walk forward.

"Fried cakes, hemp flowers, the hemp flowers just out of the pot are crispy and soft, warm!"

"Bingtang gourd, a bunch of two cents, a lot of sugar, big fruit, sweet and crunchy, delicious! Aunty, you see your grandson is greedy, buy a bunch for your child."

Shen Ruolan walked along with the flow of people. The people on the street were standing next to each other, looking around, searching for new and novel things. There were screams on both sides of the street. From time to time, some guys stood in front of the booths to attract customers. The air was filled with the fragrance of various snacks, which Shen Ruolan hadn't seen before. She looked around and didn't know what to eat.

"Dumpling dumplings selling glutinous rice balls, black sesame-filled glutinous rice **** are sweet and cheap--"

There was another shouting. Many people in front were attracted. Some of the stalls were selling hot and there were people standing in front of them waiting in line. After eating, the guy was busy washing the dishes and wiping the table. On such a cold day, the hands were frozen. His face was flushed, but his face was filled with a grin.

"Lanya, it's the fifteenth of the first lunar month. Let's eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls. We should be in a solar term." Shen Dejian stopped in front of the small glutinous rice **** stall.

Shen Ruolan smiled, "Sure, but I think this bowl is not small. If we eat a bowl of glutinous rice **** alone, I'm afraid we will be full."

Shen Dejian smiled and said, "It's okay if you're full. After a short stroll, you will be free. Let's continue eating."

So several people stopped in front of the stall selling glutinous rice balls, and each ate another bowl of glutinous rice balls.

After eating, Shouya touched her stomach and said, "Lanya, we are all full. Don't buy us food anymore. I can't afford to waste any money."

Shen Ruolan said, "Well, let's just stroll around and stop eating."

**

The moon is rising higher and higher, and the streets are getting more and more lively. There are crowds of people, and they can even wipe the sleeves of others when they walk around.

Seeing many people, Shen Dejian suggested that Shen Ruolan would be hit or lost, so he proposed to sit in the teahouse, fearing that Shen Ruolan would not agree, saying that he was tired and wanted to rest.

The old man said that he was tired, and of course Shen Ruolan, a girl, had to accompany him to rest, so the group of people walked to the teahouse mightily.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the tea house, the welcoming Xiao Er came over with a smile on his face to say hello, "Two guest officers, do you have tea? Please inside."

"Great!"

Shen Dejian replied a little unnaturally. He also knew that people could treat him so politely, mostly because of the blessing of this clothes, otherwise he was in his original body, the nose is not the nose and the face is not the face. The beggar drove out.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a loud shout from the door: "Where is the beggar? I dare to come here to make noise, and don't go away!"

When Sister Shen De and Shen Ruolan looked back, they saw that the thin girls were stopped by Xiao Er. They were not yelling.

It turned out that there were too many people on the street today. Xiao Er didn't realize that the Shou Ya sisters were with them, and she was here to beg for food, so she stopped them and hurried out.

"Little Er, we are together." Shen Ruolan called.

When Xiao Eryi heard it, he scratched his head embarrassedly, said a few words of apology, and put the thin sisters in.

After entering the door, Shouya looked at the elegant environment in the teahouse, and then at the gaze the tea drinkers gave them, and said a little bit cramped, "We shouldn't have been here, or we were waiting outside. Now, let's go together after you two have finished drinking."

Shen Ruolan didn't say anything to her, touched her chin, and said, "Well, like, too much!"

Shen Dejian said blankly, "Lanya, what does it look like? What does it look like?"

Shen Ruolan said: "I mean the thin girls and Zhaodi are really like beggars. No wonder they were misunderstood again and again today. Why don't you buy them decent clothes while you are free today? Call someone to be Huazi to scold again."

Shen Dejian said: "It's good if you call the shots."

Shouya said in a panic: "No need for Lanya, we are all used to jokes and bullies. They say what they love, we don't care. You don't want to put money on us anymore."

"How can you do it? You are with me now, and you will be embarrassed if you dress too badly." Shen Ruolan retorted, she said so deliberately, because she was afraid that they would have a psychological burden.

Hearing what Shen Ruolan said, the thin girls couldn't say anything. Although they couldn't bear to let Lanya spend money on them, they couldn't bear to shame Lanya!

"Well, just order it, let's go, buy clothes!" Shen Ruolan left Shen Dejian in the teahouse, and took the sisters to a nearby clothing store to buy clothes.

Shou Ya originally thought that Lan Ya would buy them coarse cloth clothes, but even coarse cloth, they also like it. How can girls dislike beauty and new clothes? Who wants to be yelled at, driven away, and despised as a beggar?

Even the coarse cloth clothes are new and unpatched, which is extremely rare for them.

Who knows, after entering the clothing store, Lan Ya went straight to the cotton clothes. After choosing among the colorful clothes for a long time, she chose a cotton jacket, a pair of cotton trousers and a pair for each of them. Cotton shoes made of cotton.

The thin girls couldn't believe their eyes anymore, and were shocked by the huge happiness that they were about to cry.

"Lanya... do you really want to buy us such good clothes? No, we don't deserve to wear such good clothes."

"Skinny girl, how can you say that?"

Shen Ruolan looked into her eyes seriously and said, "You can't be scornful of yourself. Even if the whole world despises you, you can't despise yourself. Believe in yourself, you are the best!"

A few short words deeply shocked the Shou Ya sisters. In their past lives, they had always lived very humble and always felt like they were inferior. Now, Lan Ya takes this seriously and encourages them. , They suddenly felt that they were not so bad. At least, there is still someone in this world who appreciates them and cares about them. For this rare gift of knowledge, they have the responsibility to make themselves better!

When they got the new clothes, the sisters cried and laughed with excitement, and they were incoherent. They were happier than they were when they were bought from home.

Shen Ruolan looked at them with excitement and couldn't help but sigh secretly, girls are really beautiful creatures by nature!

After buying the clothes, she thought that they hadn't had any clothes or trousers yet, so she picked two sets of clothes and trousers for each of them, and kept them for replacement.

These clothes and shoes cost her a full two and a half silver, but Shen Ruolan didn't feel distressed at all. It was worthwhile to take out some money to give these girls such a strong sense of happiness!

"Skinny girl, you will live in town tonight. I'll find you an inn in a moment, and I will order a few buckets of bath water for you, and then you guys will take a shower and make yourself clean. Tomorrow Put on the new clothes, go back to the village with great energy, and show your parents and your grandmother."

These older people can't live in the family. Tomorrow Shen Dejian will rent a house in the county town. Tonight, only a few of them can stay in the inn.

"Well, okay, we all listen to you!" A few thin girls said in unison.

I have new clothes. The sisters were no longer interested in shopping, and they all hugged their new clothes tightly and carefully walked through the crowd, lest one of them accidentally soiled or broke the new clothes.

Shen Ruolan also saw that they were not thinking about shopping, so she found a good inn, put them in, gave them more than a dozen yuan to save the car tomorrow, and ordered a few buckets of bath water with Xiao Er. They take a good bath.

If she guessed correctly, these girls who are so big must have never taken a bath. If they were washed, the rubbings would definitely not be less than the rubbings of his father!

She is obsessed with cleanliness, but she can't stand unsanitary living by her side.

After setting up the sisters, she went back to the teahouse to find his father. At the door of the teahouse, she unexpectedly met Zhang Eryong.

As soon as Zhang Eryong saw her, a soft expression appeared on his face. He stood in the dimly lit crowd, smiling at her silly, as if she was the only one left in this world!

"Who are you here with? Why did you come here?"

Shen Ruolan was also very happy to see him. Seeing him standing there stupidly, she took the initiative to walk over and greeted her with a smile.

Zhang Eryong touched his head and smiled shyly, "I came by myself, I came on foot."

"Puff, you are really an expert at walking!"

Shen Ruolan said jokingly: "Walking from Taohua Village to Kaoshantun'er, from Kaoshantun'er back to Taohua Village, and then from Taohua Village to the town, next are you going to walk from the town back to Taohua Village? "

Zhang Eryong gave an "um" and said: "It's okay, I'm not tired."

"You are not an iron fight. You might not be tired after walking so many roads. Just follow me in and have a rest. It just so happens that my father is inside." This silly boy walked out of his head and said that he was not tired. It.

Zhang Eryong watched Shen Ruolan turn to the teahouse, and hurriedly stopped her: "Hey, Ruolan, wait a minute!"

Shen Ruolan paused and turned around: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Eryong took out a paper bag from his arms a little shyly, and handed it to her: "Well, you can keep the clothes here."

Shen Ruolan took the paper bag, which was soft and quite big, and said strangely, "What is this?"

"Uh, a piece of floral cloth, I looked at it very nicely, but if you don't like it, just keep it as a curtain or something!"

When he said this, Zhang Eryong was very frustrated. He knew that this piece of floral cloth was not good-looking, so he wanted to buy another one for her, but he had no money. He could only wait until Jizhou to make money and then buy it for her. Up.

Ruolan took the paper bag and opened it. A red, red, green and green floral cloth appeared in front of her. She twitched the corner of her mouth. She was truly'amazing' by the floral cloth in front of her, and shocked by Zhang Eryong's aesthetics !

However, when she raised her head and met Zhang Eryong's expectant and cautious eyes, she immediately squeezed out a bright smile, "Thank you Eryong brother, this pattern is so beautiful, I love it!"
