Chapter 183 Silverfish
In the middle of June, it is the time when the heat makes people panic.

Zhang Xiaosan, who sells fresh goods, stood under the shade of willows at the back door of Zheng's house, hawking loudly and softly.

In the courtyard separated by a wall, two women, one washing rice and the other choosing vegetables.

Hearing the cries, the rice-washing woman snorted, and whispered to the vegetable-picking woman, "That Zhang Xiaosan yells at the back door every day, just like a cat walking like a dog walking around."

Chocai didn't lift his head and said, "He's a seductress! Just watch! The vixen will show his soul in a while."

Just as he was talking, a half-old woman came by over there.

He wears a blue cloth baotou on his head, embroidered with red and willow green flowers.

Dressed in a verdant green lake silk skirt and jacket, and wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes, she walked towards the back door wigglingly.

The rice-washing man pouted towards the vegetable-picker, both of them turned their faces sideways, greeted the woman with a smile, "Aunt Hu, didn't you go shopping today?"

The woman waved her handkerchief and said, "It's better to be at home if you're sweating all over in the heat of death."

As he spoke, he walked to the back door, opened the door and walked out.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaosan stopped yelling.

The two women exchanged glances, curled their lips, shook their heads, and laughed.

After about two cups of tea, Aunt Hu came back with a thick pink face, holding a paper bag in her hand, which should be something to eat.

Only when she had disappeared from sight, the two wives immediately pulled their tongues together again.

"This old fox must have used his pocket money to make up for the little boy again." The rice was already in the pot, and the rice-washing woman sharpened her knife.The knives in the kitchen have to be sharpened every few days, and compared to smoking in the fire room on a hot day, the work of sharpening knives is considered a good job.

"If you want me to say that Xiaosan Zhang is also boneless," the woman who picked vegetables was still choosing vegetables, "that Mrs. Hu is older than his mother, and he is willing to take care of her. She is young, and she can't support her with all her strength. people?"

"Ahem..." A hunched old man came over from the kitchen, spit thick phlegm on the ground, and reprimanded the two women in a bad tone: "If you don't work hard, why are you chewing behind your back?" Maggots? I’m afraid I ate too much dried radish, so I’m farting!”

"We have work on our hands, and no one is doing it." The two women refused to take his anger, "You are not the big housekeeper, take care of yourself! What does it matter to you whether we eat dried radishes or not?" Related? Haven't you had your fill of vinegar yet?"

This old man's nickname is Yu Da Xia, and he and Aunt Hu have never been clear about each other.

Later, Aunt Hu hooked up with the fresh goods seller out of nowhere, and threw him aside.

Yu Daxia was robbed of whiteness by these two women, so he coughed a lot in anger.

In the front yard, Aunt Hu put the crispy salted soybeans from Zhang Xiaosan into a white-glazed shallow dish, and said to the young woman sitting at the table: "Xiaosan said that the candlestick is not worth much with only a layer of gold leaf on it." money."

As she spoke, she took out a piece of broken silver from her trouser waist and placed it on the table.

"This ruined house is just an empty shelf, where can I find anything valuable?!" The young woman had a long face, and rolled her thin eyelids impatiently.

She is Zheng Wuji's concubine, Liu Xixi.

"The rotten boat still has three catties of nails, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, isn't it?" Aunt Hu was very contented, and softly persuaded Liu Xixi, "Don't worry about it, the old man in this family is heaven. People make things difficult for us.”

"Hmph!" Liu Xixi sneered, put away the small piece of silver, and said in a lazy and irritable tone, "This grandma is going to pass the door soon, I see, our good days are coming to an end. "

"Girl, don't say such frustrating words. So what if she comes? Although she is a wife and you are a concubine, you entered the house two years earlier than her!" Although Aunt Hu is old, her whole body is full of pain. There is no stable place, and when you speak, you will shake your head and body, "This is the capital, who doesn't know that the uncle took you in without an engagement? You are not a foreign house, but the old lady and the wife nodded.

His Xu family girl also knows, even if she can come in, it's best not to violate the river water, and we will be better off each other.If we really want to use grandma's money to control people, we are not soft persimmons. "

"Speaking of which, we still don't know what kind of temperament this Xu family has." Liu Xixi sighed slowly, raised her hand slowly, and propped her chin, "Men like the new and dislike the old, this newlywed Yaner's must be as gluey as paint, and I will become a summer stove and winter fan, let's go and cool off!"

"Depending on what kind of fairy she is, there are times when she gets bored." Aunt Hu shook her head and said, "Our uncle is a playful person, and we will get tired of her soon."

"That's all. I just thought that this grandma must be a housekeeper. The so-called three fires for a new official, don't set us on fire." Liu Xixi always had a smile on her face when she spoke. , like ridicule and trickery.

"She really wants to burn, but I'm afraid it won't work. Can we ask her to be cured by a little girl? As long as the girl blows the pillow wind for the uncle, no matter how much dowry she has, she will get it out for us to eat and drink."

"This idea is really good! It's still a few months before the rent is paid in the last autumn! It's really hard to live without money! Speaking of this, I really hope that grandma will come over soon!" Liu Xixi She squinted her eyes like a cat, and there was a hint of greed in her eyes.

"Hee hee... A biting dog doesn't show its teeth. Let's flatter her. Don't we worry about getting some sweetness? Among other things, she must want face and a reputation for being virtuous. If she wants to be seen by others If you are famous, you have to suffer behind your back. You deserve it if you suffer from being dumb!"

When the two exchanged a word, they talked like an opera.

"It's been hot for the past few days, and I can't eat anything, but now I suddenly have an appetite again. Go to the kitchen and ask them to make me a dish of fried gluten with ham, make a vegetarian soup, and cut a plate of melon." Liu Xixi looks fragile, but she spends a lot of time thinking about what to eat every day.

"My dear girl, you finally have something to eat! I'll go right away, girl, wait a moment." Aunt Hu twisted her waist and stood up.

"The uncle hasn't come back for two days, and he probably won't come back today, you and I can have dinner at the same table!" Liu Xixi said wearily, "Get a jug of wine, drink it so you can sleep."

Aunt Hu couldn't wait for the sound, the glutton almost crawled out of her mouth.

Liu Xixi also has maids to serve her here, but Aunt Hu stepped forward for all matters of food and drink.

Zheng Wuji has not returned home for two days, and his family has long been used to it.

He is like a wild horse, never willing to stop.
