Xianggong farming

Chapter 33
After Qi Dalang drank the water in the glass, he looked at Ji Xinmiao anxiously and asked, "Can you accompany me?"

He was afraid that she would refuse.Because he has always found that she is very cold.

In fact, Ji Xinmiao didn't reject his idea. After all, the elders are optimistic about this kind of marriage, and she can't refuse, so it would be a bad thing to know more about her future husband.Moreover, she is not a real ancient person, this man is her fiancé now, and he also takes care of himself very neatly today, so he won't lose face if he takes him out, right?I have never had the opportunity to go shopping with my boyfriend in my previous life, so what does it matter if I accompany him for a while.So he raised his leg and went out the door and asked, "Where are you going?"

Qi Dalang didn't expect that Ji Xinmiao was really willing to accompany him to go shopping, so he followed her happily after hearing her question: "Go to the seed shop to see the wheat seeds."

Ji Xinmiao didn't say much but walked out little by little, and Qi Dalang hurriedly followed.

The two walked towards the East Street, Qi Dalang glanced at Ji Xinmiao secretly, and found that there was no expression on her face and went straight forward, he thought she was embarrassed, right?So I had nothing to say and asked, "Is this jujube cake made by you and grandma?"

Ji Xinmiao nodded: "Actually, I also came up with the idea of ​​this packaging. This cake is made by grandma. Her craftsmanship is very good. She is the first one in our village."

Qi Dalang put the jujube cake stuffed by Wang into his mouth and chewed it a few times before saying, "Well, it tastes really good, sweet and sour, women and children must love it."

Ji Xinmiao glanced at him and asked, "You mean you don't like to eat?"

"No, no, I also like to eat. It's just that I'm a man, so I always eat less of these snacks." Seeing that his future daughter-in-law seemed to be mistaken, Qi Dalang immediately explained in a hurry, and he found himself a little nervous.

Seeing his embarrassment, Ji Xinmiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. This man looks very mature, but his temperament is so simple and cute!

For a while, the two of them were speechless again.At this moment, a surprised voice came: "Da Lang, is that you?"

Qi Dalang looked up at the person in front of him and asked in surprise, "Sishan, why are you here?"

The man named Sishan hurriedly pointed to the shop beside him and said, "Dalang, come in and have a seat first, who is this?"

Seeing his brother asking about Ji Xinmiao, Qi Dalang introduced him a little embarrassedly: "This is my daughter-in-law who is going to come in soon."

Sishan hastily greeted him politely: "Hi sister-in-law, my name is Chen Sishan, and Dalang is brothers on the battlefield. This shop belongs to my wife, come in and have a seat."

Qi Dalang saw that Ji Xinmiao had no objection, so he asked for her opinion: "Can you go in and have a sit?"

Seeing that Ji Xinmiao was Qi Dalang's comrade-in-arms, and it might be the first time they met in this town, Ji Xinmiao gave them a faint smile to agree.

Entering the store, a woman around 22 came out. Chen Sishan hurriedly introduced: "Daughter-in-law, this is my brother Qi Dalang from Shangping Village. This is his wife who is about to enter the door, it is..."

Seeing the woman's friendly expression, Ji Xinmiao immediately introduced herself: "Hi sister-in-law, my name is Ji Xinmiao, I'm from Jijia Village, and Ji Lanlan on Qianjie is my second aunt."

When the woman heard this, she immediately groaned: "Oh, so it's the Zhu family's aunt. I heard that their nieces are all beautiful people. Only when I saw her today did I know that she was telling the truth."

He really deserves to be in business, but he can talk.Ji Xinmiao smiled faintly: "My sister-in-law praised me!"

After the three of them sat down, Chen Sishan's daughter-in-law made two bowls of tea and said with a smile, "Sit down, I'll prepare some pasta for the guests later."

Hearing this, Ji Xinmiao simply looked at the shop.It can be seen that this is a well-regarded noodle shop with a long history. The store is not big, and the decoration is also very ordinary, but fortunately, it is clean. It seems that Chen Sishan's daughter-in-law loves cleanliness.

Qi Dalang took a sip of water before asking: "Sishan, isn't your hometown in Qingzhou Prefecture? Didn't you say that there are many relatives in your family? Why did you come to our town? Are all relatives at home here, or are you and your wife bringing you?" Is the baby coming?"

Chen Sishan smiled wryly when he heard the words, and then slowly said: "Brother Dalang, it's hard to say!"

Qi Dalang looked at Chen Sishan's appearance very puzzled: "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Chen Sishan took a look at Ji Xinmiao and said slowly: "I made my younger siblings laugh. Brother Dalang, brother, I thought I could be rooted when I returned to my hometown that year. I took part of my money and was going to find a A good girl gets married, but who knows, alas!"

"How should I put it, it's really hard to tell. You know, I have many brothers, and I'm the fourth one. It's not about the elder or the younger, and I haven't been with my parents for many years. This kind of relationship can't compare with their filial piety all the year round. After I gave most of the money to my mother, I thought that my parents would look at me for the sake of being away from home for many years, and feel sorry for me to find a girl from a good family, but who would have thought..." Chen Sishan's The sound is getting smaller and smaller.

Qi Dalang didn't speak, he knew that his brother was also an honest man, he must have suffered a lot of grievances before he left his hometown and came here.

Sure enough, Chen Sishan spoke again: "After I returned home, because this leg was seriously injured, although I had no problem walking, I couldn't do heavy farm work. Maybe my parents thought I was useless? Soon, so my father and mother gave my money to my nephew without telling me about our marriage."

For a long time, the two did not speak.This kind of sad thing that is related to parents, the younger generation in ancient times took the word filial piety as their head, and they have no right to judge right and wrong.After listening to Chen Sishan's narration, Ji Xinmiao felt that she was so lucky to meet such a kind family in this different time and space.

"Then who is your wife?" Qi Dalang asked awkwardly.

"The morning after my eldest nephew's daughter-in-law came in at the end of last year, I kowtowed to my parents outside the window and left the house before dawn. I didn't have much money on me, so I wanted to find a place to stay. I heard that some brothers were in the house. I work in this yamen, so I wanted to find a job to do. Maybe it is really fate. One evening, my father-in-law went to collect mountain goods, and the defendant robbed him. I happened to save him, and he said it was this He is from Langguan Town, so I sent him back.

At that time, I had no place to go, and my father-in-law insisted on keeping me at their house.Later, it was just like that. My daughter-in-law was an honest woman. After she got married, she was always bullied by her mother-in-law and husband-in-law because her natal family was poor.Three years after marrying into her husband's house, she didn't give birth to a boy and a half girl, so she asked her mother-in-law to find an excuse to divorce her.

She is really an honest and good woman. She didn't look down on my half-disabled body, and treated me like a brother. Later, under my father-in-law's decision, we got married at the beginning of the year.Now, she has a belly of more than three months! "

No wonder Ji Xinmiao felt that the woman's waist seemed a little thicker, so she was pregnant.

Qi Dalang congratulated immediately after hearing this: "Congratulations Brother Sishan is going to be a father! Are you going to manage this noodle shop with your family now?"

Chen Sishan nodded immediately: "I originally went to the yamen to work for two months. Brother Zhang is a head catcher in the yamen. He really cares about our brothers. But not long ago, the waiter in the shop was going back to his hometown. I couldn't find a suitable person to help for a while. Thinking about my daughter-in-law who often helps in the store, it is not suitable to find other people, so I came back by myself. Brother Dalang, I will try yours here at noon today Sister-in-law's craftsmanship, although she can only eat noodles, her craftsmanship is pretty good."

When Qi Dalang heard this, he hurriedly declined: "I can't do it this time. Her second aunt's house is already cooking, so come next time. Since you are in this town, I often come to this town. There are many opportunities. Then you But don't worry, I'm always coming to the door without winking."

When Chen Sishan heard it, he immediately said seriously: "Brother Dalang, we are brothers who have passed our lives. Don't say that you often come to eat bowls of noodles. Even if you come every day, I won't be bothered."

Ji Xinmiao could tell that Chen Sishan was an honest man, otherwise he would have been abandoned by his parents for the money he bought with his life, and he would only be sad but not resentful, such a man is really an honest man.

So she smiled and asked: "Brother Sishan, what kind of noodles do you have in this shop?"

Chen Sishan was taken aback: "Do you want to try it? My daughter-in-law is really good at cooking, but there are not many kinds. There are clear soup noodles, egg noodles, and shredded pork noodles. Which one do you like? I will ask your sister-in-law to serve you a bowl Try it?"

Ji Xinmiao hurriedly waved her hands: "Brother Sishan, don't be too busy, I don't want to eat noodles, I just want to ask you what kind of noodles you have. I have been to Liucheng in the north before, and there are many noodles there, so I want to ask. "

When Chen Sishan heard it, he looked at Qi Dalang with admiration on his face: "Brother Dalang, my younger siblings are really discerning. She has been to Liucheng, which is a big place. Can you tell me what kind of things there are like?" Fresh pasta. No, brother and sister, wait, I will let my wife come and listen..."

When Ji Xinmiao talked about what he had eaten in the old Shaanxi noodle restaurant in his previous life: noodles with narrow sauce, noodles with oil, shredded pork with sauerkraut, noodles with whistle, noodles with tomato sauce, etc., Chen The couple were stunned in place.

Chen Sishan's daughter-in-law said excitedly: "Sister Ji, I have never heard of what you said, but after you describe it, I know that this noodle will definitely be delicious, and I can do it. Today you tell me these things, our couple has nothing to be grateful for, let me know what kind of noodles you like most, and I will make you a bowl to try."

Ji Xinmiao quickly refused again: "Next time, if you have the opportunity to come, you must try sister-in-law's craftsmanship."

When the two walked out of the Chen family's noodle shop, Chen Sishan's daughter-in-law was very grateful: "You two must remember to come when you get to the town. I'm still waiting for my sister to come and taste the noodles. Is it right? You must come."

Ji Xinmiao really smiled: "Certainly come, I will eat two bowls then!"

The two went to the seed shop and asked about the seeds. When they came back, Qi Dalang stopped in front of a dim sum shop: "Wait for me for a while?"

Ji Xinmiao thought that he must buy something and go home to pick up the children. He is the eldest at home, and the two younger brothers have been married for many years.So she nodded: "I'll wait for you."

Qi Dalang asked hesitantly: "Why don't you go in with me and help me choose?"

Ji Xinmiao felt that she was right, so she stepped into the dim sum shop.

There are quite a few types of dim sum in the shop, all of which are rice-based cakes.Ji Xinmiao helped choose red date cake and bean paste cake, each of which weighed a catty, and bought two servings.It seems that Qi Dalang is going to bring a gift to the second aunt's family.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the shop, Qi Dalang handed one of them to her: "If you are hungry at night, take a piece to eat, don't starve yourself."

This man!Treat her like a child again!Ji Xinmiao blushed and turned her head: "I'm not a child!"
