The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 20

Yunmo scooped the washing water out of the pot, poured it into the ditch, put down the broken gourd, wiped his hands, and looked at Qiuyue, "The recipe of this Guanyin tofu is simple. If you like to eat it, I will teach you how to make it another day."

When Qiuyue heard this, her beautiful face was excited, "Sister Mozi, you said this. When I am free some other day, I will come to learn from you."

"Okay, you can come anytime." Yun Mo smiled and nodded, after cleaning the pots and bowls, she took off her apron and dragged Qiuyue to talk in the hut.

After dinner, it was getting dark, and there was nothing to be busy at this time. Qiuyue returned the bamboo basket and was not in a hurry to go home.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly remembered about going to the market tomorrow, so they casually invited Yunmo, "Sister Mozi, there is a market in the city tomorrow, do you want to go?"

Qiuyue just invited her so casually, she didn't expect Yunmo to go to the market, as before, Yunmo rarely went to the city.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Yun Mo immediately took over and said with a smile: "Go, call me tomorrow morning when you leave."

The mink skin has been in the sun for a day, and it is almost dry. I will go to the market tomorrow in the city and just sell it. In addition, I made a lot of Guanyin tofu today, and I can’t finish it in one or two meals. Get it in the city to explore the market.

Qiuyue looked at Yunmo in surprise.

Since Yunmo came to Yangque Village, the number of times he went to the city was very few.

Yun Mo didn't pay much attention to Qiuyue's expression, turned her eyes to Yun Xiaotong who was practicing calligraphy in front of the door, pondered for a while, and said, "Sister Qiuyue, I have something to trouble you."

"What's the matter?" Qiuyue said bluntly: "Sister Mozi, we have such a good relationship, why are you still being polite to me? If there is anything, you can just say it."

Yunmo looked away from Yun Xiaotong, looked at Qiuyue, and said indifferently: "Sister Qiuyue, you go back and tell Aunt He that tomorrow, I have to trouble her to help me take care of Tongtong."

There is no car to go to the market, and it is a full five-mile journey from Yangque Village to Zigui County. Such a long journey, Xiaodouding's short legs, must not be able to bear it.

"Hi! I don't think it's a big deal." Qiuyue waved her hands and smiled, "Sure, let Tongtong come to my house tomorrow and let my mother take him with him. He is so cute and sensible, and my mother likes it."

Because she had to get up early the next day, Qiuyue stayed in the thatched cottage for a while before returning home.

After Qiuyue left, Yunmo also called Xiao Douding to rest early.

The next morning, the rooster crowed for the first time, and when there was a little light in the sky, Yunmo got out of bed.

Her husband boiled the washing water and heated up the breakfast. Then he wrapped the dried mink skin and cut the Guanyin tofu into cubes and put them in the wooden basin.

After everything is done, the rooster crows for the third time.

Yun Xiaotong heard the sound, got out of bed in a daze, followed the sound and walked to the kitchen: "Mother."

Yunmo was about to enter the room to wake him up for breakfast, when he heard a childish voice coming into his ears, he turned his head and saw the little guy wiping his eyes against the pillar, "Tongtong, hurry up and wash your face and have breakfast."

After the couple had breakfast, they heard Qiuyue's voice coming from the courtyard next door.

"Sister Mozi, have you had breakfast yet? When are we leaving?" The two families were so close together that Yunmo could hear Qiuyue shouting in her yard.

Hearing Qiuyue's shout, Yunmo quickly agreed, "Let's go right away." Then he put the wooden basin containing Guanyin tofu and the mink skin into a big bamboo basket, covered it with an old furoshiki, and carried the bamboo basket in one hand, Taking Yun Xiaotong with one hand, he quickly locked the hut and walked to Qiu's house.

In the small courtyard of Qiu's house, Qiuyue has already installed the straw sandals and straw mats made by her brother, and is waiting at the gate.

Afraid of delaying the time to go to the market, Yun Mo hurriedly handed Yun Xiaotong to He Jiuniang, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell her, "Tongtong, mother is going to the city to go to the market, and she will be back in the afternoon. You are at home, and you must obediently listen to Granny He's words." ,do you know?"

"Yeah." Yun Xiaotong glanced at her mother, without crying or fussing, and nodded very sensiblely, "Mother, don't worry, I will obediently listen to Grandma He."

He Jiuniang pulled Yun Xiaotong into her arms, and said to Yunmo, "Girl Yunmo, you can go to the market without worry, leave Tongtong to me, it's fine."

After exhorting Yun Xiaotong, Yunmo and Qiuyue went out with the things they wanted to sell.

In the countryside, you have to go to the market early in order to grab a good stall. It is five miles from Yangque Village to Zigui County, so they have to walk faster.

At daybreak, the two carried their things and walked quickly on the potholed yellow mud road. Because of their fast pace, they left the village not long after, and passed several women who were going to the market with their backs on their backs along the way.

Yun Mo was only thinking about Yun Xiaotong, and wanted to sell the things quickly so that she could come back as soon as possible, so she didn't even bother to pay attention to those women with baskets on their backs.

Seeing the two walking by quickly, one of the women in a flowered cloth skirt was a little unconvinced, sniffed at the back of the two, and said in a strange way: "Oh, isn't this the eldest lady of Changping Houfu? It's really strange, Miss Qianjin is also going to the market to sell things."

When Qiuyue heard the woman's sarcasm, she paused slightly, very dissatisfied, and wanted to turn her head back.

Yunmo gave her a hand, and said in a low voice: "Sister Qiuyue, don't be angry, let's just treat it like a wild dog howling on the road." Going to the market is important, and she doesn't want to delay the time because of a shrew.

After hearing Yunmo's words, Qiuyue pursed her lips and smiled, and spat: "Yes, it's a wild dog, let's ignore it." After speaking, the two continued on their way.

Seeing that the two men ignored her, the woman in the calico dress was so angry that her forehead shot up, she twisted the fat on her waist, and ran after her with her little feet.

"Unlucky bastard who kills a thousand swords, you still think of yourself as the eldest lady of Changping Houfu, ah bah!" While cursing, he spat heavily on the ground, "Shameless, stole a man, gave birth to a wild seed, She even thinks that she is a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold, to be so embarrassing, she deserves to be so tall."

The woman in the flowered sarong was cursing for a while, Yun Mo stopped, and suddenly turned around, two sharp gazes were directed at the woman's face, with a chill in her eyes.

bastard?Very good, this stinky woman dared to scold Tong Tong, scold her a few words, she can still treat this woman as a wild dog howling, scolding Xiao Douding, this has touched her bottom line, it is unforgivable, today, she If you don't teach this feces-spitting stinky bitch a lesson, this stinky bitch thinks her Yunmo's child can be scolded by others.

"Zhou Xiangju, did you swallow shit in the morning?"

Yun Mo narrowed her eyes, and the coldness in her eyes deepened. She recognized this stinky woman, the woman of Ma Liuzi in Yangque Village, and Zhou Xiangyu's sister.
