Doctor Xianggong, the goddess of poisonous belly

Chapter 67 You Are His Wife (5)
Dongnuan saw Xiaodouzi, a little doll who was busy cleaning the dishes, cleaning the table and sweeping the floor, as well as cleaning the stove. He scooped half a ladle of hot water from the pot and then scooped a ladle of cold water from the water tank next to the stove, and went out of the house with the wooden basin. She didn't want Xiaodou to make it, but no matter what he said, his sister-in-law He didn't even intend to put down the tub, so he could only think of finishing his work quickly and helping Auntie wash the dishes, so that Auntie would scold him when she came out.

When Dong Nuangu washed the bowls and chopsticks and returned to the low hut, Si Jixia happened to come out from the side room. The old woman naturally saw the wooden basin that Dong Nuangu was holding in her hand, so Xiaodouzi naturally Unavoidable scolding by the old woman.

Si Jixia didn't stay at the old lady's house for a long time, he just said a few words to Xiaodouzi after he came out from the side room, and then left. Douzi pulled his cloak reluctantly and said, "Brother Pingan is leaving now?"

"Yes, Little Douzi, Brother Pingan is leaving now." Si Jixia gently rubbed Little Douzi's head.

Xiaodouzi sniffed at this moment, and said in a crying voice: "Then when will Brother Ping An come again, next year?"

"Well, come next year." Si Jixia's voice was also gentle and gentle, "Xiaodouzi is good at learning from the master, and helps grandma do more work on weekdays."

"Yeah!" Xiaodouzi nodded vigorously, wiped his nose and laughed again, "Brother Pingan must remember to come next year!"

"Yes." Si Jixia smiled slightly.

Xiaodouzi turned his head to look at Dong Nuan Gu again, his eyes brightened and he said, "Then next year, sister-in-law will come with Big Brother Pingan?"

Xiaodouzi has a good impression of this beautiful sister-in-law who is willing to help him wash the dishes very much. Dong Nuangu smiled and nodded, and then Xiaodouzi pulled La Dongnuangu's sleeve, Dong Nuan knew that he wanted to whisper to her, so he bent down, and Xiao Douzi immediately leaned into her ear and whispered to her: "Sister-in-law, please be nice to Brother Pingan, Brother Pingan is very good, very good." Yes, Big Brother Pingan will definitely treat Auntie very well!"

Dong Nuan's smile became even wider, and he nodded to Xiaodouzi again, Xiaodouzi ran away with a smile, and the old woman urged them, "Hurry up, the road is dark after dark." Let's go, let's go back."

"En." Si Jixia replied, "Grandma Mo has gone back to the house too, don't send her off."

"Hey, I know you love my old cold legs. It's okay. I won't send them off. I'll just stay here to see you." The old woman's eyes were full of reluctance, but her voice was a little choked .

Si Jixia turned around under the old woman's reluctant gaze, and gradually walked away from her sight.

"Grandma Mo has no children, and Xiaodouzi is the grandson she picked up." After leaving the old woman's sight, Si Jixia said a few words to Dong Nuangu, "Grandma Mo took care of me for a long time. Every year, I will give her some money, which is barely enough for her and Xiaodouzi to live on, and I can't afford more."

When Si Jixia said this, he didn't continue to say anything. Every time he saw something or someone, he would explain a few words to Dong Nuan, but it was just a few words to let her know who it was, never Dongnuangu just listened to what she said in depth, and never asked.

The relationship between them seems to be like this, shallow, and there is no deeper level.

The sky will be dark, and the road can still be seen clearly. Pedestrians have all returned home, the shops on the street are closing, and the vendors on the roadside are packing up their stalls. Some vendors have packed up or pushed them with carts After my goods left, the not-so-wide street looked deserted and desolate.

At this time, the wind was stronger, rolling up the dust and mud on the road, and blowing people's hair flying.

Gradually, the stalls and shops on the side of the road were almost sold out, but there was an old woman who was still sitting under an old pimple tree and had no intention of closing the stall. Her stall was just a big bamboo basket, on which there was a She was holding a dustpan, and on the dustpan was spread a piece of dark blue square cotton cloth. On the cotton cloth was the hairpin jewelry of a girl and a woman, but her jewelry was very special, neither gold nor silver nor jade, no matter the bracelet Hairpins or earrings, all of which are carved from wood, although not expensive, are exquisite and beautiful, making Dong Nuangu's footsteps stop in front of this small bamboo basket stall.

Sitting under the pimple tree, the old woman wrapped her head in a cotton towel to keep out the cold and saw someone stop in front of the stall and hurriedly stood up. Seeing Dongnuan, she reached out and picked up a flower hairpin carved in the shape of winter tea plum, and explained with a smile: "Girl Like this tea plum flower hairpin? Hehe, this is carved by my own peach wood. He has been doing this for 30 years. If you like it, you might as well take one with you, instead of putting it on your hair, you can put it on the dressing table as a look."

The cold wind that rolled across the street was getting stronger and stronger, blowing half of the cotton towel wrapped around the old woman's head, and she hurriedly pulled the cotton towel back and wrapped it up again. The old face with creases has already had thick scars in the cold wind, and the backs of the withered old hands are also the same.

Dong Nuangu suddenly thought of Liu Niang, so he reached out and picked up another bracelet. The old woman was a little surprised when she saw her pick up the bracelet again, as if she didn't believe that such a girl who looked like a daughter would look at her more. She couldn't take a few glances at the things on the table, which made her a little nervous. Although she felt that her things were not worthy of this girl who was as beautiful as a fairy, she hoped that this girl would buy a hairpin or a bracelet Well, she's been sitting here since morning when it was still daylight, and she's been sitting here for three whole days without selling a single thing, and if this girl can buy one of those things, she and the crippled man at home I'll have something to eat tonight, otherwise...

The bracelet is also carved from peach wood, and the patterns on it are also winter sasana, but the sassafras on the hairpin is in full bloom, while the sassafras on the bracelet is just in bud. It feels like a good bracelet with some age without rubbing your hands. Even the carvings are fine and lifelike. It has not been painted in any color but maintains the color of peach wood itself. You can smell the smell of peach wood if you smell it slightly close to the tip of your nose. The special fragrance makes people like it at the first glance.

It seems... There is also a pair of earrings?
Dong Nuangu reached out for the third time and picked up a pair of earrings, which turned out to be Dongchamei. This pair of earrings is very special, the two sides are not the same, one side is a sassafras bud, and the other is a flower that has already bloomed Son, the craftsmanship is so exquisite that even the stamens and receptacles are carved out.

Seeing her pick up these three things, the old woman narrowed her eyes with a smile, and explained: "Young lady has a very good eye, and she fell in love with these three things at a glance. The things in my house are carved in sets. That's all there is to it, it's just that there are not many girls who like these things, so they have been sitting on the stall all the time, so they inevitably get a little dusty, girl... Do you want these three things? Or... just hairpins? "
