There are several big surnames in Xinzhuang Village, and Zhao is one of them, along with Li, Wang and Fang. Fang Hui’s wife is named Wu Mei. Wu Mei is not very young, but she is very gossipy. Zhang’s parents are Li

There is nothing about her family that she doesn't want to know. There are some innocuous things that you will know if you know them. However, she still insists on adding her own speculations and showing off to others as if she is getting candy. Some things are exaggerated by her.

It can directly become offensive. She also has a big problem, that is, she cannot see other people's families living better than her own. Whenever someone's family's life is better than her own, she will find someone to murmur and pick apart.

He works hard to find other people's faults and strives to achieve his own inner balance.

They are all from the same village. As time went by, the old neighbors gradually knew who her character was, so they gradually became unwilling to associate with her. Some people even gave her a nickname secretly behind her back.

Nicknamed "Little Trumpet", Wu Mei is not afraid of people. She is very thick-skinned. You ignore me? It doesn't matter, I will just ignore you.

These days, seeing the life of Zhao Liangsheng's family getting more and more prosperous, she felt uncomfortable. She had long heard that the Zhao family had a little girl. It would be normal for relatives to come and stay at their house for a few days. However, the little girl's name was Yan Siqin and his wife.

, she has seen her, she is a pretty girl, and she looks nothing like the Zhao family. She murmured in her heart: She is definitely not a child of the Zhao family. She has not seen the Zhao family have a daughter in so many years, not even mentioning it.

I have never heard of a daughter being born in their family.

Not knowing the specific situation, Wu Mei was very worried. She had long wanted to go to Zhao Liangsheng's house to inquire about it, mainly because she had been busy with farming a while ago. Their home was not close to the Zhao family, one village to the east and the other to the west.

Since they are far away from each other, the two families naturally don't have much contact with each other. They just bump into each other on the road, so long as they meet and talk, they can get along well.

Wu Mei has a daughter named Fang Xiaoyan. The little girl is 5 years old. She is about the same age as Shi Ke. She takes after her father in appearance. She has a chubby little face, not white, but dark, with small eyes and a narrow nose.

Not high either.

Nothing happened today. Wu Mei took good care of Xiaoyan and prepared to take her to Zhao's house for a visit.

Yan Siqin liked to dress up Shi Ke. His daughter was handsome, no matter how she dressed up, she looked good, but she didn't look like a brat. No matter how much she dressed up, she couldn't change her appearance.

Yan Siqin took a small wooden comb and braided two braids for Shi Ke on the top of his head. Then he tied them up and picked out a pair of pink flower strings from the hair flowers on the table.

On top of the bun and on the forehead, a thin layer of bangs rests just above the eyebrows, making the two big eyes even more charming and cute.

She raised Shi Ke's chin, looked around for a moment, then put down the comb with satisfaction, changed Shi Ke and Zhao Chen into clean clothes, then patted Zhao Chen's little butt: "Go, let's play with my sister.

"

Zhao Chen is younger than Shi Ke, but Zhao Chen insists on calling her sister Shi Ke. As time goes by, even Yan Siqin himself has the illusion that his daughter is the youngest child in the family, and his behavior unknowingly treats Zhao Chen as a child.

Treat him like an older brother.

He moved a small bench and sat by the well platform. Yan Siqin washed the family's clothes and watched the two children playing games at the side.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was a knock on the door! Before Yan Siqin could react and open the door, the door was pushed open from the outside, and then a loud voice came over: "Hey, they are doing the laundry, you are so diligent!"

There is a custom in the village that as long as there is someone at home, even if the door is closed, the door bolt will not be inserted inside. However, when neighbors visit each other, they usually knock on the door first and wait for the host to open the door before entering. Wu Mei

But regardless of this, she led Xiaoyan in with a carefree attitude, and exchanged pleasantries with Yan Siqin in a familiar manner.

How could it be her? Yan Siqin was surprised. Their family had never had any contact with the Fang family. According to Wu Mei's reputation in the village, Yan Siqin was unwilling to have too much contact with Wu Mei. What happened today?

Why do these two ladies want to come to their house?

There were guests as soon as they came in, and Yan Siqin didn't want to neglect the two women. She rinsed her hands in the basin, washed away the foam, stood up, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Fang, why are you coming to our house when you have time?"

"Look what you said, I can't come and play with you when I have nothing to do? You wash yours and don't worry about me." Wu Mei pulled a stool and placed it next to the wash basin, sat down and pushed Xiaoyan

arm: "Go and play with your brother."

"Oh." Xiaoyan raised her face and agreed, then turned around to find the two children.

Wu Mei had never been to Zhao's house. She looked around the courtyard first. She saw the chicken coop, jujube trees, small vegetable garden, the well-organized courtyard and the vibrant vegetables, which made her full of envy. The yard at her home was not small, but

It looked very messy. There were no chickens in the yard. She didn't want to worry about the trouble and effort. She told others that chickens were too dirty and the yard was full of feces. There were no vegetables. There was a garden allocated in the village, and the garden produced produce.

The vegetables are usually uneatable, so there is no need to plant them in the yard. The only thing the two families have in common is the same as other families in the village, that is, there is a barley straw stack in the yard, which is indispensable for cooking.

If there are too few, it won’t work if you don’t put them in the yard.

"Aunt Yan, don't you grow vegetables in your homeland? Why are you still growing vegetables in the yard?" Wu Mei asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"It's planted." Yan Siqin rubbed his clothes and kept saying: "The yard has a big space, so it would be a pity to leave it idle. It's also convenient to grow some vegetables and eat them yourself."

"Growing so many vegetables, can your family eat it?"

Yan Siqin straightened up, picked up soap and applied soap on the collar of Zhao Liangsheng's clothes. He looked up at Wu Mei and said, "I can't eat it. How much food can a person eat three times a day?"

"Then your family still grows so many cucumbers?" Wu Mei stood up and looked at the cucumbers in the fence. The greedy insect came up, and she didn't say hello to Yan Siqin. She opened the fence door and walked around in front of the cucumber stand, looking up and down for something to eat.

Then I picked one cucumber, without washing it, just took a bite, and continued to sit back on the bench and get close to Yan Siqin.

A cucumber is worthless, but Yan Siqin can't stand Wu Mei's behavior. How can this person come to other people's homes as casually as he does at his own? No wonder, no one in the village says good things about Wu Mei.

Yan Siqin's eyes dimmed and he forced a smile: "If you can't eat it, the father will take it to the city to sell it. If you can't sell it, just soak it in boiling water, dry it in the sun, and eat it in the winter."

"Oh." Wu Mei understood: "Your Zhao Liang still lives on the streets, unlike my Fang Hui, who only knows how to farm."

"Farming is good, it's safe." Yan Siqin felt a little annoyed with her, and his tone became perfunctory when he spoke.

"Wen Dang? Wen Dang, why don't your family just farm? Look at your big chicken coop, you raise a lot of chickens."

Yan Siqin was upset by Wu Mei's choking, and he cursed in his heart: "Am I familiar with you? This is your first time coming to my house, okay? Does it have anything to do with how many chickens I raise in my house?"

Wu Meiyou unconsciously turned the topic to Shi Ke: "Aunt Yan, who is this little girl who came to your house? She looks so handsome."

"My daughter." Yan Siqin said lightly. People like Wu Mei should not say anything to her.

Sure enough, Yan Siqin's answer was not satisfactory to Wu Mei at all. She persisted and continued to ask: "How come your daughter looks nothing like your family?"

Yan Siqin finally started to get angry. The smile on her face fell instantly, and her tone was a little stiff: "It doesn't look like what's wrong? Your daughter is nothing like you at all. Your daughter has a pimple on her lip and you don't have it yet.

"

The cheeky Wu Mei didn't care about what others thought. Instead, she was a little complacent and explained: "My daughter is following her aunt. Her scab is exactly the same as my sister's, and the length is the same. Have you never heard of the aunt's legend?"

Really? The aunt’s biography came from her aunt.”

How can genetics be explained in this way? Yan Siqin almost laughed out loud. Don’t look at me as uneducated, I also know what heredity is.

"Aunt Yan, I've never seen your daughter before, don't think your family bought her from outside." Wu Mei spoke without restraint, and continued to speculate half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Shut up!" Yan Siqin finally lost his patience and threw the clothes in his hand into the basin. Water splashed all over them: "Your daughter is the one I bought. I won't want to talk nonsense like this again."

You."

"Look, look, I'm just joking, why are you angry? Look, you're all wet with me." Wu Mei took a few steps back and swept the water stains on her trouser legs with her hands, looking dissatisfied.

Mumble.

"Are you kidding? We have to stop joking (the dialect means degree). I also joked that you bought your Xiaoyan, right?"

Wu Meihun smiled innocently: "Zhongzhongzhong, you can just say it. No one will believe you. Xiaoyan's face is exactly the same as his father's. Your daughter is similar to your family."

have to……"

"Wu Mei!" Why is this person so annoying? Yan Siqin stopped and started to chase people away: "It's getting late today. It's time to cook. Why don't you go home and cook for Xiaoyan's father?"

"What time is it already?" Wu Mei looked up at the sky. The sun had just reached the top of her head. Judging from the situation, it would be around ten o'clock at most. She waved her hand: "No rush, it's not too late to do it later."

, if you are in a hurry, I will help you pick vegetables first."

I made it so obvious to this person, but she couldn't hear it at all? Yan Siqin was really at his wits' end, so he just kept his head down and washed his clothes without saying anything, thinking to himself, I'll just ignore you.

"Where are your vegetables? Bring them here and I'll pick them first."

Yan Siqin put the clothes in the basin vigorously. The water made a splash and he pretended not to hear it.

Wu Mei searched around but couldn't find it. She looked at the vegetable garden and suddenly said: "You haven't picked it yet, right? Let alone, the garden is really not bad for growing vegetables. Whatever you want to eat, you can pick it right away."

You don’t have to go out, just tell me what vegetables you want to eat today, and I’ll pick them for you.” After saying that, he picked up the vegetable basket next to him and went to the ground to pick vegetables.
