Finally, just before arriving at Sanliang Store, Qin Xiaoniu worked hard to tie her brother Hengzi's shoelaces.
"call!"
After the car stopped in front of the shop, Chu Heng did not get out of the car in a hurry. Instead, he took out a cigarette and lit a cigarette. He took a strong puff and forced himself to recover from the abnormal state of emptiness before taking pictures with a smile.
Patting Qin Jingru's plump thighs, she said, "Let's go."
"Um."
The slightly panting girl looked at her lover with watery eyes, nodded her head obediently, wiped the corners of her mouth with her sleeves, then turned around and opened the door to get out of the car.
Because the end of the year is approaching, the entrance to Sanliangdian is very busy at the moment. Many residents on the street took out their fine grain stamps that they had saved for a year, and ran here to queue up, preparing to buy some white noodles to go home, so that the family would be full on the night of the 30th.
Have a full meal of dumplings.
Although people in Sijiucheng are not as fond of dumplings as they are in the Northeast, they almost regard them as the highest etiquette.
But during some major festivals, such as the Chinese New Year, Po Wu, Tou Fu, and Beginning of Winter, dumplings are an indispensable food on the table. Regardless of whether you have money or not, you basically have to have a meal.
"Good guy, it's quite lively!"
Looking at the long queue at the door, Chu Heng couldn't help but think of the glorious years when he worked here, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
"I said Aunt Qian, how old are you and still come to queue? Where are your son and daughter-in-law?"
"I'm off from work today, Brother Xu."
"Alas, I arrived home last night."
"Okay, you guys line up, I'm going to go in and see my wife for something."
He took Qin Jingru along the way to greet some familiar old neighbors in the team, and quickly squeezed into the shop.
The shop was even more lively at the moment, and it was crowded with people. You could hardly see where you stepped.
As soon as the two of them entered the house, they heard Aunt Sun's roar coming from the cabinet.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? If you dare to stretch out your paw and chop it up for you, do you believe it?"
You don't need to look at it to know that there must be chicken thieves who want to take advantage of the chaos and steal a few grains, but how can their little trick be hidden from Auntie Sun, who is the leader of the aunt?
Chu Heng happily stood on his tiptoes and looked inside. As soon as he glanced at Sun Mei, who was busy and sweating profusely, he quickly waved his hand: "Aunt Sun!"
"well!"
When Sun Mei heard the call, she quickly put down what she was doing and looked over. She smiled kindly, and then she saw her face turned cold. She raised her thick arm and gave the woman with a sinister look in front of her a slap in the face, and cursed loudly.
: "You little coquettish hooves, did you really take what I said as fart? Get out of here quickly, I won't betray you today!"
That woman was a well-known shrew in the neighborhood, and she was known for being unreasonable and argumentative. But after receiving this slap, she didn't even dare to fight back, and she covered her face in despair.
Push out the crowd.
This shows how strong Aunt Sun's deterrence is.
After driving away the dirty woman, Sun Mei looked up at Chu Heng again, waved and said, "Hengzi, I'm really busy today, so Aunt Sun won't greet you. Let's chat some other time."
"It's okay, you're busy!"
Chu Heng smiled at her, raised his hand and waved to the others, saying hello, and then took Qin Jingru to the small door and went to the office in the back room to find Ni Yinghong.
Unlike the front room, Xiao Ni and Aunt Han in the office were very leisurely at this time. They had settled some of the accounts they had paid a few days ago and were laughing and eating melon seeds and chatting.
Leisure chapter.
After Chu Heng came over, he talked with Aunt Han, whom he had not seen for a long time, and then came out of Sanliang Store with Xiao Ni, who had already packed up and was waiting for them, and prepared to go to Shazhu's.
When he got to the car, Chu Heng glanced at his wife, who was sitting naturally in the passenger seat, pointed at the packages she was carrying and asked, "What are they? Do you need to buy some more?"
"No need." Xiao Ni shook his head and said with a smile: "I bought snacks and some supplements to replenish my vitality at home. The badi cloth I brought back with you is enough."
"What about you?" He turned to look at Qin Jingru in the back seat.
"I don't need it, brother." The girl patted her shoulder bag and said with a smile, "The old lady brought me a ginseng root, and I bought a pound of brown sugar and two bottles of canned food."
"Then let's go."
When Chu Heng heard that everything was correct, he nodded, started the car, and drove towards the courtyard.
Within a few minutes, the three of them arrived at the place.
I haven't been here for three months, and the courtyard is still the same. There are privately built sheds everywhere, and it looks like a mess.
Because it was cold, there were no people in the courtyard, so it was a bit empty.
When Chu Heng and the other three came in carrying their things, they only saw Aunt Li, who happened to be carrying a basket and was about to go out.
"What are you going to do, Aunt Li?"
He greeted him with a smile, and Aunt Li immediately ran forward with a shout: "Oh, Hengzi is back? I heard that you were sent to Hong Kong Island on business, how about it? You have suffered a lot, right?
?”
For some reasons, in the current common understanding of some people, those places abroad are basically in dire straits and people are in dire straits. If you go there, you will either enjoy happiness or suffer.
"It's okay."
Chu Heng didn't do that with her. He chatted happily for a few words, then separated from her, and walked through the front yard to the middle yard with Xiao Ni and the others.
A few people had just arrived outside Shazhu's house when they heard the loud cry of a baby coming from inside.
More than a month ago, Ran Qiuye gave birth successfully. She was a fat boy weighing more than eight pounds. At that time, she almost lost her temper and gave out wedding candies to everyone she met.
"This boy of his cries quite vigorously! He's a bit like his father, he has a loud voice."
Listening to the cries, Chu Heng smiled and joked with the two girls beside him, then shouted loudly into the room: "Brother Zhuzhu!"
"Is it Tsuneko? Come in quickly, come in quickly, the door is unlocked."
Silly Zhu's panicked and surprised response immediately came from inside.
So he reached out and pushed open the door, leading the first and second bedrooms in.
The coal stove in the room was burning brightly and it was warm. Silly Zhu was sticking his butt out and busily changing his eldest son's diaper in front of the bed. He didn't even have time to greet Chu Heng and the others when they came in.
"When did you come back? Tsuneko."
Ran Qiuye, who had a plaster on his arm, came over with a smile on his face. When he saw Ni Yinghong and Ni Yinghong carrying something in their hands, he frowned and said reproachfully: "Oh, you said you are not outsiders, so you can just come here. Why?"
Are you still getting something?"
"Didn't I hear that you fell, so I came here to have a look."
"Oh, sister-in-law, please sit down quickly and stop stretching!"
Ni Yinghong and Ni Yinghong hurriedly stepped forward, pulled her to the side and sat down, caring about her, asking where she was hurt, how she was doing, and whether it hurt.
After Chu Heng said hello to Ran Qiuye, he went to the bedside, looked at the child who had just changed the diaper and had stopped crying, smiled and said to Silly Zhu, "This big fat boy!"
"How's it going? Okay?" Silly Zhu skillfully picked up his chubby son and showed off happily: "This kid is very worry-free. He sleeps when he's full and eats when he's full. Basically he doesn't cause trouble.
"
"That's quite worry-free, just like my Chu Zhecheng." Chu Heng reached out and poked the little guy's chubby face and asked, "What is it called?"
"He Miao, I asked someone to read the horoscope. He said that the five elements were short of water, so his mother gave him such a name." Silly Zhu glanced at the Eight Immortals table with admiration at Ran Qiuye, who was chatting animatedly with Xiao Ni and the others.
, said: "You also need to be educated, but I didn't even know the character Miao before!"
