Chapter 31 Lard Dregs

There was lard residue for dinner, so Zhou Huilan simply got lazy and made a pimple soup.

Just as the grandparents and grandchildren were about to eat, there was a knock on the door outside.

There was a narrow alley outside the small courtyard of the Duan family, and the knocking on the door could not be heard clearly even after a long distance, and the knocking on the door continued for a long time, and there were shouts from all the neighbors, Zhou Huilan realized that the knocking might be very loud It's my own door.

She put down the bowl and ran out quickly, but unexpectedly, it was Lu Fengxia knocking on the door outside, holding a piece of dried fish maw the size of a fist in her hand.

There were quite a few people standing at the door, all watching the excitement.

Zhou Huilan quickly let Aunt Lu in, and led her in as soon as the door was closed.

But Aunt Fengxia grabbed Zhou Huilan, "Don't, I still won't go in, even if there is something, it's quite embarrassing..."

"You take this first!" Lu Fengxia suddenly stuffed the maw into Zhou Huilan's hand.

Before Zhou Huilan's divorce, Wang Jianye used to make these weird things for Zhou Zhenhai, so he knew a little bit about it. This thing looks like the size of a fist, but a whole piece of dried fish glue should be worth a lot.

"Aunt Lu, you are..." Zhou Huilan didn't dare to accept that she was rewarded for nothing.

"Oh! I'm ashamed to tell you straight up. You boiled lard just now, and half the street smelled fragrant. I still couldn't drink the pimple soup I made. I just wanted to come to you for some lard residue Go back and feed him, it's not a problem if you can't eat anymore..."

This……

Zhou Huilan didn't understand.

But a bit of lard residue is not worth such a large piece of flower maw, so she simply stuffed the flower maw back into Lu Fengxia's hands, "What am I doing, auntie, wait, I'll go get the oil residue, this flower maw Take the glue back, or I won’t give you the oil residue.”

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, not to mention that Lu Fengxia is also a neat person, and Zhou Huilan also wanted to borrow someone's tricycle, so of course she would not be stingy with such a little lard residue.

It's just that she really doesn't understand Lu Changqing's anorexia. She has been eating Ma Ma Xiang since she was a child.

When Aunt Lu went out, everyone on the street saw the things in her hand, and some thick-skinned people came up to her with a smirk.

"Girl, we are all neighbors, so you can bring some of the leftover lard left over to my aunt!"

"Yes, yes, I live next door to yours, so get me some too!"

"And I!"

"..."

One is shameless, all of them are shameless, for fear that if they fall behind, they will not be able to take advantage of it.

When Aunt Lu saw this, she wanted to defend Zhou Huilan, but she was dragged by someone, she staggered from the middle to the outermost point, and almost fell to the ground with the bowl in her hand.

She turned around and was about to speak for Zhou Huilan, but she heard Zhou Huilan's soft but firm voice inside.

"Who are you? Do I know you? You ask me for things. If you are a beggar, go to the shelter. If you are a blind person, go to the police station. Don't come to me. I'm not a Bodhisattva!"

As Zhou Huilan said, she stretched out her arms and pushed the hard-pressed person back, and closed the door with a bang.

If you want to take advantage of her, think too much.

These people were deflated, and their faces changed immediately.

"Who is this!"

"I don't respect the old and love the young at all!"

"That's right, I don't have any education at all. I'm really a bad luck to that old woman!"

"Have you said enough? They are all neighbors, so don't be too ugly!" Lu Fengxia couldn't listen anymore, so she interjected.

Only then did the group of people react, and some of them immediately surrounded Lu Fengxia.

"Fengxia, how did you meet that fat man?"

"There are so many meat residues, tell me to have a bite..." Some shameless ones just reached out to Lu Fengxia's bowl.

"Snapped!"

Lu Fengxia didn't show any sympathy, and slapped the man, "This is from our doctor Lu, you deserve to taste it too?"

The man shrank his neck, and no one dared to stretch out his hand anymore.

"Hey, I can smell the fragrance as soon as the meal comes these two days, it's really fragrant!"

"Could it be that all the dishes are made by that fat man?"

"Then who knows, [-]% is..."

"Squeak—"

A group of people were chattering, but the door of Duan's house opened again.

Zhou Huilan poked out a big smiling face, "Just now you said I was immature, right?"

The aunts looked at each other, but they were all used to it because of their age.

Aunt Hao, who was closest to the door, even said a few words to Zhou Huilan, cleared her throat and picked up Joe, "Isn't disrespect for the elderly just uneducated... Ah!"

"Ahhh-"

A basin of cold water fell from the sky, and none of the aunts fell.

And Zhou Huilan had already closed the door, holding a bucket and shouting through the wall: "I'm just uneducated, you're really right!"

"Fatty!"

"Come out if you have the ability!"

The aunt who reacted rushed forward and smashed the door.

"The door of my house is a piece of wood handed down from the Qing Dynasty. It is very valuable. Whoever breaks it will have to pay me for it!"

As soon as these words came out, the several aunts looked at each other in blank dismay, but the strength under their hands was obviously weak.

We all know that this half of the street belonged to the Duan family before liberation, but the old woman is nothing to be afraid of being alone, but now that Zhou Huilan is so generous, she can pour water on people just by asking for a piece of meat. smashed her door...

But isn't this just a broken wooden door!

"Ah-"

It was still cold in April, and it was evening again. Aunt Hao sneezed out and beat the door a few times angrily, and the others were about to follow suit.

"This door is made of nanmu. If you smash a piece of it, you won't be able to pay for it. That girl is really not trying to scare people."

It was Mr. Lu who spoke, leaning on a cane and stroking his goatee. He was the most respected and richest person on Songbai Street.

"Whoever said we were going to smash it and there was water on the door, just help wipe it off."

The aunt smiled and rubbed her sleeve against the door, then lowered her head, raised her foot and ran away.

Mr. Lu helped to speak, but Zhou Huilan didn't hear him.

Granny Duan watched her come back with an empty bucket, and didn't ask anything, only beckoning her to eat quickly.

Zhou Huilan only drank half a bowl of pimple soup, holding back a mouthful without touching the meat residue.

While washing the dishes, she boiled water in a pot. The kitchen was tidy and the water in the pot was hot. She searched around but couldn't find the washbasin, so she took a vegetable dish and mixed it with warm water, and called Yaoyao to come over. shampoo.

"Mom, I don't want to sleep yet, I'll wash it later."

"After washing, mom will take you to meet someone, come quickly."

Yaoyao asked Granny Duan for help, but the old lady didn't protect her like Zhou Zhenhai did, but turned her head away as if she didn't see her.

"Zhou Jingyao, come here quickly!"

Zhou Huilan increased the volume, Yaoyao was angry but did not dare to refuse. Annoyed, she swung the small shovel in her hand and walked towards Zhou Huilan vigorously.

"Mom! I don't like washing my hair at all!" The little girl's eyes were red, and she was obviously holding back tears.
