37 Chrysanthemum residue

At dawn, Zisu opened her dazed eyes. She could hold on in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, at three or four o'clock, she couldn't stand it any longer. She threw herself into the bamboo basket containing pork, Fell asleep.

Feeling greasy on her face, she was about to raise her hand to wipe it off, but found that her hand was numb and couldn't lift it up, "Third brother, third brother..."

"Second Sister!" The third brother's voice rang in his ears, Zisu raised her head, and met the black eye circles of the third brother, "You haven't slept yet?"

The third brother smiled "hehe", stepped forward and said, "I'm not sleepy, what's the matter with you, Second Sister?"

"My hands and feet are numb, please help me stretch them."

"En," the third brother replied, and stepped forward to help Zisu pull his arms and pat his feet. The numbness felt like tens of thousands of needles pricked, and Zisu couldn't help grinning, which only made the third brother laugh. It didn't stop.

On this side, Aunt Tao, who also hadn't slept all night and just dozed off at dawn, came in from the kitchen room and said to Zisu, "There seems to be someone outside."

"Is there someone?" Zisu didn't care about the numbness of her hands and feet as she walked like stepping on cotton without any strength, and walked out in a sloppy manner. She was the only one who went out. Stand up and go out.

"Tao Chenghai!?"

Tao Chenghai's feet stiffened. At this time, some people who got up early had already started to smoke from their kitchens. He obviously didn't want people to misunderstand him. He rolled up the rotten cotton in his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't come out, let people See gossip."

After saying that, he walked towards his home without looking back, his steps were hurried and big, as if a dog was chasing him and biting him.

Zisu stood there, watching him return to her home, and heard Tao Bashui's high-pitched scolding, sighed, and said to Aunt Tao who was standing behind him: "Clean up, let's go to town quickly , I might have to go a few more places.”

"Hey."

Aunt Tao responded, and wanted to say a few more words, but after seeing the look on Zisu's face, she finally just sighed, without saying anything, turned around and went into the stove, and lit the fire to make breakfast.

After eating two mouthfuls indiscriminately, Zisu and Aunt Tao carried a bamboo basket to the town.

I went to Boss Chai first, because it was not a market day, Boss Chai liked it very much, but he didn't dare to buy too much, so he asked the proprietress to weigh ten catties, which is calculated according to twenty copper coins per catty , that is, two hundred copper plates.

After counting the money, Boss Chai looked at Zisu and said, "Little girl, if you have the bitter tofu from last time, bring me some more. There are many customers eating this one."

"Hey, Uncle, that one has to be picked from the mountains to make it, and it will have to wait until next year." Zisu said with great regret, and seeing the disappointment on Boss Chai's face, she quickly said: "I still have some dried tofu at home, look, If it’s okay, I’ll bring it out for you next time?”

"Okay, then bring it to me next time you come to town, I'll try." Boss Chai said quickly.

Zisu didn't mention it, and pointed to more than half of the meat left in the basket, "Uncle, are there any other shops around here that can buy it?"

Boss Chai paused, and said: "Because it's not a market, and besides, every family has gone to the market early in the morning to buy, I'm afraid it will be hard to sell for a while." Seeing Zisu's small face full of It was distressing, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Yiu Yuan's family, five miles away from here, is giving his grandson a week today. Why don't you go to their house and try?"

Zisu's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she said quickly, "Hey, thank you uncle."

Boss Chai smiled and said, "Go early, the chances are better."

Zisu hurriedly helped Aunt Tao to carry the basket, and she carried the bamboo basket herself, said goodbye to Boss Chai, and searched all the way to Yuan Qiu's house.

The couple had just left Boss Chai's shop, and were about to find a passerby to ask Qiu Yuan's family how to get there, when a slightly surprised cry sounded in their ears, "Auntie, Zisu?"

Aunt Tao and Zisu turned their heads together, and saw Chrysanthemum wearing a blue printed cotton gown, walking towards them with a basket on her shoulders.

"Chrysanthemum?" Aunt Tao looked at Chrysanthemum up and down for a while, seeing that her face was paler and fatter than last time, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said softly, "Why are you here?"

"I went to make soy sauce. I looked like Auntie and Zisu from a distance, so I tried to call out, and it was you." Chrysanthemum smiled at Zisu, looked at Aunt Tao and said, "Auntie, come and meet me." Is something going on in town?"

"Third brother and Zisu killed a little wild boar yesterday, and we plan to order it to exchange for some money."

"Hey, is it?" Chrysanthemum sighed and said happily, "Then it must be sold at a good price, right?"

Aunt Tao shook her head, and said softly: "It's not the day to go to the market, the boss only wants a little."

"Hey, that's true!" Chrysanthemum sighed, then raised her head and said to Aunt Tao and Zisu, "Then let's find someone else? Seeing that it's winter, I can exchange some money for my younger brothers and younger sisters." Put on two winter coats."

"That's right!" Mrs. Tao echoed, "Boss Chai pointed us to a family, that Qiu Yuanwai, Chrysanthemum, do you know where his family is?"

"I know!" Chrysanthemum nodded quickly and said, "Everyone in the town knows that Qiu Yuanwai will make birthday wine for his eldest grandson today, not to mention, maybe they will want your wild boar meat." He kept urging Aunt Tao and Zisu, "Then hurry up and don't delay."

Zisu was about to call Aunt Tao to leave, but she didn't want Chrysanthemum to ask, "Auntie, don't you know me?"

Aunt Tao nodded.

"Hey, how about this, I'll take you there." Chrysanthemum stepped forward and said, "It's very close, and it's only half a stick of incense."

"No need." Zisu stepped forward to give Aunt Tao a hand, and said to Chrysanthemum, "Go back, we can just ask."

Chrysanthemum looked at Zisu and said with a smile, "It's okay if I didn't meet her. Now that I do, of course I have to help lead the way. After all, I'm from the same village." Auntie, "Auntie, come with me."

Aunt Tao looked at Zisu hesitantly. She didn't feel it before, but now she feels it. Zisu doesn't seem to like dealing with chrysanthemums very much. Otherwise, Zisu, who always smiles when she sees people, won't have many smiles on chrysanthemums!Or is Zi Su still angry at Chrysanthemum's previous behavior?Perilla is not so stingy!

"Let's go, aunt." Chrysanthemum looked back at the mother and daughter who were stunned in place, her eyes turned and landed on Zisu's face, the smile on her face froze, and she said softly: "Zisu, are you Still mad at me?"

Zi Su shook her head.

"That's why?" Chrysanthemum looked at Zisu puzzled, "Since you're not angry with me, why don't you talk to me?"

Zisu was stunned by Chrysanthemum's question, she didn't want to talk to her anymore, she really felt that Chrysanthemum gave her a weird and uneasy feeling, and she didn't know why she felt this way.Ordinarily, Chrysanthemum is also a poor person, it is impossible for her to have such a feeling, but the fact is that when she sees Chrysanthemum, she feels her heart beating wildly, as if something is about to happen.

"Nonsense, why don't I want to talk to you anymore." Zisu smiled and said, "Even if you said you want to lead the way, hurry up, we have to go home."

"Hey!" Chrysanthemum didn't ask any more questions, and said to Aunt Tao, "Auntie, let's go."

A group of three walked towards Yuan Qiu's house. Along the way, Chrysanthemum and Aunt Tao didn't talk much. Occasionally, Aunt Tao asked about her affairs, but she just passed them on in a few words without going into details.

After about half a stick of incense, they arrived at Yuan Qiu's house.

Blue tiles and white walls, three-entry courtyard, colorful decorations, so festive.

"Aunt, this is Yuan Qiu's family." Chrysanthemum pointed to the majestic house and said to Aunt Tao and Zisu.

"Second sister, this..."

Before coming here, she was full of confidence, but when she suddenly met such an imposing family, Aunt Tao felt guilty and her feet softened. She looked at Zisu for help, and even Chrysanthemum also looked at Zisu, as if she was looking at her, what would she do? Sell ​​the meat to Qiu Yuanwai.

Zisu pursed her lips, took off the bamboo basket on her back, put it under a pomegranate tree by the roadside, and said to Aunt Tao, "You wait for me here."

"Hey."

Zisu looked at Chrysanthemum again, "Chrysanthemum, please help me take care of my mother, don't let her wander around."

"Don't worry, Miss Zisu."

"Hey, I won't walk around."

Only then did Zisu pat the clothes on her body, then raised her hand to smooth out the hair that was a little messed up due to the rush, looked left and right, and looked towards the one standing on the stone steps at the door to greet the guests, leaving a strand of goat under her chin. Hu's man walked over.

"Uncle."

Steward Qiu was instructing his servants to give gifts to the guests, when he suddenly heard a female voice, he thought it was a footman, and didn't expect that voice to ring in his ears again the next moment.

"Uncle."

Butler Qiu turned around, glanced at Zisu who was wearing pudding and pudding, waved his hand and said in disgust: "Where is the beggar, go, go, go."

Zi Su's face felt hot when she was told, but she had nothing to do now, all she had was a thick-skinned face.

"Uncle, I'm not begging for food." Before Steward Qiu could speak, she said anxiously: "I'm from Taojia Village, and my third brother and I killed a little wild boar. We know that Uncle is holding a wedding in your house, so I want to ask you about it." don't want."

"Wild boar?" Steward Qiu looked back at Zisu, frowned, and said with a "chi" smile: "You are not as tall as your chopsticks, so you beat a wild boar! Who knows where you got it, if you want to come to Qiu's mansion to cheat money, how dare you It’s really big enough.” Without any explanation, he said to the boy next to him: “Go, kick it out for me, let all the other cats and dogs in, and startle the young master, be careful with your skin.”

Then there was a young servant in Tsing Yi approaching ferociously, trying to drive away Zisu.

Zisu naturally knew that since Hades is easy to talk about, little ghosts are hard to deal with, but it was the first time in her life that she was treated as a liar, which really made her feel a little hard to calm down.

"I'm not a liar, it's really a wild boar we called."

It's just that the servant got Steward Qiu's order, so he wouldn't listen to her pleading. One of them pulled an arm, and rushed out: "Go, go, keep shouting, I'll give you a board."

"Brother, I'm really not a liar, I..."

With a strong hand, the servant threw Zisu down the steps, causing Zisu's buttocks to split into three pieces.She struggled to get up, but she didn't want to. When she moved her body, it was painful. She gasped and fell back to the original place.

"Are you OK?"

There was a gentle and soft voice in my ear.At the same time, a hand as white as jade stretched out in front of her eyes, with slender phalanges and manicured nails that were clean and refreshing.

Zisu raised her head and looked at the owner of that hand, but froze in place the next moment.

"Swallow Bamboo!"
