"Talk about our family?" Aunt Gong Jian was deep in thought while unconsciously repeating her man's question. After a moment, she said hesitantly: "There are not many people in the village talking about our family.
Ah. At least I haven't heard of it. However, I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but these days I always feel that some people in the village look at me a little strangely."
At first, Aunt Gong Jian felt that she must have been overthinking, but when she heard a man suddenly ask about the villagers discussing their family affairs, she didn't think much about it and spoke out her feelings directly. But.
After saying that, she felt a little annoyed again. Wasn't she making a big deal out of a molehill? Would her man be angry again and scold her?
But what surprised Gong Jian was that he was not angry because of her suspicious thoughts. Instead, he nodded, and then asked more carefully: "You said those people have a certain vision."
Weird, then please describe it carefully, what’s weird about the way they look at you?”
She never thought that her man would ask such a strange question, but Gong Jian was just stunned for a moment and immediately started to say: "Why is it strange? I always feel that they have something to say, but when they see me they don't
Having said that, my eyes were full of doubt and dodge, that’s how I felt anyway.”
After hearing her answer, Uncle Gong Jian seemed to be deep in thought. Seeing that his man had stopped talking, Uncle Gong Jian became a little anxious, "Master, please tell me. Widow Liu outside is still waiting.
Waiting for me to answer. What should I say to her? Hey, I should have known
In this way, I should have said nothing at that time, just took the kitchen knife and left. It would have been better than what I am doing now, saying that Gong Jian and his family came to our house to borrow a kitchen knife and did not return it for several months, which is so unbelievable.
Now I guess if I say that again, Widow Liu will definitely not believe it."
Uncle Gong Jian over there seemed to have withdrawn his thoughts. He turned to look at the mother-in-law who was still asking for his help. He thought for a moment and then said: "Just answer her like this, and say that the kitchen knife at home is indeed
I lent it to Gong Jian's family a few months ago, but it's good
At home, because the old kitchen knife had become chipped, I originally planned to buy a new kitchen knife for use. At that time, I lent the old kitchen knife to Gong Jian and his family, so you asked your mother's brother and sister-in-law to
I brought a new kitchen knife back to town for you to use."
I didn’t expect that the problem that I had been struggling with for so long would be solved easily by my own man. Auntie Gong Jian patted her chest and said, “Yes, that’s what I said. She can’t go to the kitchen to look through how much money we have in our house.
Get the kitchen knife." After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the house.
Uncle Gong Jian, who stayed in the room, looked at his mother-in-law's back as she turned away, his eyes a little deep.
In any case, as soon as Uncle Gong Jian returned to the courtyard, she sat opposite Widow Liu again. But before she could speak, Widow Liu asked with concern: "Oh, I said the eldest sister is the head of the family, is it okay?
?Why, I haven’t seen you for several months, but I’m getting even sicker.”
You are seriously ill, and your whole family is seriously ill. Oh, by the way, you are the only one in your family. Although Aunt Gong Jian was not happy to hear it, Widow Liu said that her man was seriously ill again.
words, but on the surface she could only hold back her anger.
She then said: "Yeah, it's nothing. Your elder brother, he just sprained his ankle, and it's almost gone after a few days. Just now, it was just him choking on drinking water, it's nothing serious."
Son."
"Oh, it turns out I was just choking on drinking water. I heard the cough just now was very rapid, and I was a little worried at first. After hearing what you said, I felt relieved. Where did we talk just now? Oh,
By the way, you haven’t told me how your family cooks in the past few months? Whose family is going to live without a kitchen knife but can’t cook. Sister, you have to teach me.
How was it done?"
Seeing Widow Liu holding on to this question again, Aunt Gong Jian was no longer as anxious as before. She glanced at Widow Liu and then said calmly: "What's the point? I
Let me tell you, my old kitchen knife already had three holes in it and it was not easy to use. I had long wanted to replace it.
When the little girl Gongyue came to borrow it, I lent her the old kitchen knife. The next day I sent a message to my brother and sister-in-law, asking them to bring me a new kitchen knife. You also
You know, this family can't live without me, and every family is very busy during the Chinese New Year, so I asked my brother and sister-in-law from my mother's side to help me make this trip."
Widow Liu never thought that after spending a long time, the internal information she heard turned out to be such a simple explanation. After lending the kitchen knife, she bought a new one, so she naturally didn't have to worry about the past few months.
Regarding the issue of cooking. Thinking about it again, Aunt Gong Jian’s words are reasonable and well-founded. It’s not during the New Year. Her brother and sister-in-law came to his house several times.
Thinking about the rumors about this family in the village now, Widow Liu felt a little disappointed. She didn't expect that the news she heard was so simple and very reasonable. After hearing this kind of inside information, it was better to be like the villagers
Which one of those people's random rumors is more attractive? But no matter what, she can be regarded as agreeing with Gong Jian's answer.
After thinking about it, Widow Liu was a little happy. After all, Aunt Gong Jian and she had become sisters over the past few years, and their relationship was pretty good. She didn't want someone whose temper was so at odds with hers to do that kind of thing.
Okay, now she can relax and defend their family outside. After all, she has obtained first-hand information.
No longer entangled in this problem, Widow Liu immediately stood up and said goodbye in a hurry: "Okay, eldest sister, I see that you are quite busy at home, so I won't waste your time. Let's chat next time when we have time.
, you also come and sit at my place."
If there was nothing she could do, Widow Liu would not come to the house. She had been here for so long without even a glass of water, and just talking here would have made her very thirsty. She had better leave as soon as possible.
Auntie Gong Jian didn't really sincerely try to persuade Widow Liu to stay. She is still a little confused now. She didn't know that Widow Liu came to her door and kept pestering her to ask about the borrowed kitchen knife from Gong Jian's family. (To be completed.)
