On the morning of May 28, the sun was shining brightly.
Xu Hongping and the others had just put down their bowls and chopsticks.
Xu Hongping said: Shitou, you are a noble person in our family, I don’t know how to thank you!
Shitou replied: Aunt Tang, your family is the noble person of Shitou, if it weren't for you! The stone has been there for a long time!
"Stone, you can remember our previous kindness, which shows that you are a person who values love and justice..." Xu Hongping replied:
"Aunt Tang, Shitou is not as noble as you said. Shitou only knows how to do things according to his conscience. Aunt Tang's family has been kind to me..." Shitou continued:
"Okay, okay, we are like fish helping fish and water helping water. We are mutually beneficial." Xu Hongping said:
Shitou said: Aunt Tang, I like to hear "this sentence", what we are doing is mutual benefit.
Xu Hongping called out: Shitou, our business is gradually improving. If you hadn't persuaded us to sell silk scarves...
"Aunt Tang, the biggest contributor to the success of the business of selling silk scarves is Sister Erfeng..." Shitou interrupted:
"Shitou, my mother is talking to you, why do you involve me?" Erfeng whispered:
Shitou responded: I'm telling the truth.
Xu Hongping sighed: To be honest, I haven't been this happy for a long time.
"Shitou, you are really my god of luck." Xu Hongping continued:
Shitou said: Aunt Tang, you said this, Shitou was frightened and frightened.
Erfeng said in confusion: Shitou, why are you so scared!
Shitou argued: Shitou was born poor and humble, and has always been regarded as unlucky, with the same word as luck...
"Shitou, don't think about those unhappy things. You should live happily every day." Xu Hongping interrupted:
Erfeng then said: Yes!
Shitou thanked: Thank you Aunt Tang and Sister Erfeng for your enlightenment!
Xu Hongping advised: Shitou, those people who have cursed you are "blind to gold and jade" and misunderstood you as a villain. You can't use their prejudice against you to punish yourself.
Shitou called out: Aunt Tang, Shitou is filled with emotions at this moment!
Xu Hongping raised her feet and said: Keep your emotions in your heart, I'm going to feed the pigs.
Erfeng held the dishes and chopsticks in his hands and shouted: "After I wash the dishes and chopsticks, I have to sew a handkerchief."
"Sister Erfeng, please let me wash the dishes!" Shitou replied:
Erfeng said: You didn't do all this cleaning work!
Shitou then said: Then you say it! What kind of work do I do!
"You help us do business better than any other job!" Xu Hongping strode over with a bucket.
"Dong dong dong" Xu Hongping's door kept ringing.
Shitou took small steps and said, "I'm going to see who's coming."
"The door is open!" Xu Hongping said:
"Who are you?"
"Aunt, it's you!"
"Who are you? Are you the guy who helps me carry firewood?"
"You remembered."
"Sister Jue, rare guest, rare guest..." Xu Hongping picked up the bucket and called:
"What a rare guest! I'm not a guest." The aunt argued:
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Sister Ju, please sit in the back room.
The aunt said: Go feed the pigs first.
Xu Hongping put down the bucket and replied: I asked Erfeng to feed him.
Shitou replied: Aunt Tang, don't call Sister Erfeng! I'm going to feed the pigs.
Xu Hongping asked: Have you ever fed pigs?
"Feeding pigs is not difficult! Even if I have never fed pigs, I know how to do it." Shitou picked up the bucket and said:
Xu Hongping asked: Sister Ju, please come inside!
The aunt moved her body and asked: Ping'er, who are you that young man?
Xu Hongping replied: He is the worker I hired.
To be precise, he is not a worker, he is my son.
The aunt asked: Why can’t I understand?
Xu Hongping responded: It’s best not to understand, because I don’t understand either.
The aunt called out: "If you don't want to elaborate, I won't ask any more questions."
However, that young man is quite kind-hearted. When I chopped firewood last time, he helped me carry a section of it thanks to him.
Xu Hongping pulled up the stool and said: Sister Ju, sit down.
"Aunt Jue, you're here." Erfeng walked into the living room and said politely:
The aunt shouted: Erfeng, come here, come and sit with me.
Erfeng said: Aunt Jue, you and my mother are chatting here, while I have to go in and sew handkerchiefs.
The aunt shouted: Erfeng, I came here specifically for you today, and I helped you find a good family.
Erfeng asked: Mom, where did the stone go?
Xu Hongping replied: He went to feed the pigs.
"I'm going to take a look at the pigsty." Erfeng ran out.
"Erfeng, you have high vision, even ordinary people - you don't like it. Therefore, in the past two years, I have not come to disturb your peace. Today..." Aunt Ju shouted:
"Sister Ju, let me tell you, my Erfeng is too high-spirited..." Xu Hongping called:
"It's finally done." Shitou bent down and placed the ladle in the bucket.
He picked up the bucket and was about to turn around.
Suddenly, someone hugged him tightly from behind.
He struggled: Who!
The man replied: I am Erfeng.
Shitou put down his hand and said: Sister Erfeng, this is not good! You respect yourself!
Erfeng responded: I will hold you.
Shitou opened Erfeng's hand, turned around slowly, and called out: Sister Erfeng, what's wrong with you!
Erfeng immediately put his lips on Shi Shi's mouth.
Shitou pushed Erfeng away and asked: Sister Erfeng, what happened?
Erfeng took Shitou's hand and put it on his chest, saying: Don't you blush when you see my chest? Today I not only let you see it, I also let you touch it.
Shitou shrank his hands and said: Sister Erfeng, do you want me to leave this home?
Erfeng threw himself on the stone and cried: You can't leave. What will I do if you leave?
Shitou replied: Sister Erfeng, Shitou's shoulders are very weak and cannot support you...
Erfeng gently knocked on Shitou's back and cried: Aunt Jue is here to help me as a matchmaker. I only want Shitou, I only want Shitou to marry me, and I want to stay with Shitou forever.
Shitou breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: It turned out that he was a matchmaker.
"Sister Erfeng, you should be happy when that aunt comes to play matchmaker for you." Shitou continued:
Erfeng replied: I'm not happy.
Shitou responded: Sister Erfeng, Shitou will miss you in this life, but I hope you will in the next life!
Erfeng continued: The next life is too far away, what I want is this life.
Shitou said: Sister Erfeng, you are talking nonsense again! I told you, I have a wife, what can I not give you?
The two phoenixes let go of their hands one after another.
Shitou said: In fact, I envy Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang. They cherish each other and depend on each other. No matter how cruel the reality is, no matter how the years change, they are still "as always, respectful to each other as guests".
Erfeng choked and said: Me too, I envy them very much.
Shitou put his hands on Erfeng's shoulders and whispered: Sister Erfeng, you have to be happy, you have to be happy. Only when you live happily will they be happier and happier.
Erfeng wiped her tears and replied: Yes.
Shitou pushed Erfeng and shouted: Let's go, let's go home.
Erfeng took Shitou's hand and called out, "I can't go back, Aunt Jue is still at home."
Shitou comforted him and said: Sister Erfeng, aunt is here to help you with the matchmaking. If you agree, then agree. If you don't agree, then disagree. She won't do anything to you!
Erfeng put his hands on his chest and said hoarsely: I'm afraid!
"Sister Erfeng, my aunt and I are with you, what are you afraid of!" Shitou pushed Erfeng away.
"Mom, I'm back." Erfeng whispered:
Xu Hongping shouted: "Er Feng, come here. The person Sister Ju introduced to you is very good. You come here to give me advice."
Erfeng frowned and muttered: Mom, you!
"Erfeng, come here and let me take a look! We haven't seen each other for two years, and you are becoming more and more beautiful and lovely." The aunt said:
Erfeng walked to Xu Hongping and replied: "Aunt Jue is joking."
Shitou asked: Auntie, what is your name?
The aunt smiled and said: My name is Geng Yu.
Shitou hesitated and said: "Why did Sister Erfeng call you Aunt Jue?"
The aunt argued: I loved eating oranges when I was a child, so everyone called me - Orange.
Shitou responded: That's it!
The aunt asked: Is there something wrong with my name?
Shitou then said: No problem, it sounds familiar and cordial to me.
The aunt asked: What's so cordial about this? Could it be a stone?
Shitou said: My mother's name is Aiju. I am particularly sensitive to the word "chrysanthemum".
The aunt replied: Your mother's "chrysanthemum" character is definitely not my "orange" character.
"Yes, the chrysanthemum in my mother's name is the chrysanthemum of chrysanthemum." Shitou replied:
"Shitou, take a stool and sit down." Xu Hongping called:
Shitou pulled up the stool and called out: I'll still call you - Auntie, it won't be so difficult to pronounce.
The aunt smiled and said: It's just a title, you can call it whatever you want, your name is Shitou, right?
Shitou responded: My name is Li Shitou.
The aunt praised: Shitou, you are kind-hearted and down-to-earth, and the young man is also energetic. I really like you.
"Auntie, you're flattered." Shitou replied:
"You helped me carry firewood last time, and I haven't thanked you properly yet!" the aunt said:
Shitou said: Auntie, it’s just a small matter! Don't talk about it!
The aunt called out: Shitou, the more I see you, the more I like you. Come and sit at my house when you have time...
"Yes, yes, I will go when I have time." Shitou replied:
"When are you free?" the aunt asked:
"I can't say, it depends on Aunt Tang's house!" Shitou scratched his temples and replied:
The aunt shouted: Ping'er, can you let Shitou go to my house to play for two days?
Xu Hongping felt very uncomfortable and said: Wow! You ask Stone.
Shitou then said: Auntie, Shitou still needs work.
The aunt responded: Don't worry, Shitou. My home is in a village next to it, called Shiqiao Village. In a short while, you can take a walk in our village and come back.
Shitou said: Really!
"Look at my mouth! I'm talking nonsense. I'm just talking to Shitou. Since I've forgotten the real thing, Erfeng, don't be surprised!" The aunt clapped her thigh with one hand and shouted:
Erfeng replied: I'm not surprised, you guys can talk.
The aunt said: You are the protagonist today, Shitou and I will talk about it later.
"Erfeng, what do you think of your lifelong events?" Aunt asked:
"What can I think! If you should marry, marry." Erfeng replied:
"Then what do you want from your partner?" The aunt continued:
Erfeng responded: I have no request, I can marry a stone...
"Sister Erfeng is kidding! Sister Erfeng and I are siblings. I am a worker hired by Aunt Tang. Aunt Tang can testify (Shitou pointed at Xu Hongping)."
The aunt looked at Xu Hongping and called out: Ping'er, what's going on!
Xu Hongping replied: Shitou is right, he is the worker I hired.
The aunt took a breath and said: I thought...
"Shitou stays at our house to work, and the relationship between him and Erfeng is really a mess, just the two of them!" Xu Hongping shouted:
Shitou said: Aunt Tang, we don't have that kind of relationship.
Xu Hongping said: Just because you said no, it doesn't mean that others say no. You and Erfeng - get along day and night, you two are like dry wood and fire...
"Ping'er, Ping'er, why didn't you say this just now! Erfeng has someone in his heart, and I will never..." Aunt interrupted:
"How do you ask me to talk about this kind of thing!" Xu Hongping said:
"Aunt Tang, what are you doing!" Shitou blushed and muttered:
Xu Hongping shouted: Sister Ju, I'm really sorry for making you go to the hospital in vain again.
The aunt was silent for a moment, then replied: "Running away in vain" is not a waste. Not to mention getting to know Shitou, I met Ping'er today, so my trip was not in vain.
Xu Hongping responded: "Sister Ju said that, I feel even more sorry. Sister Ju has been in our house for so long, and we haven't even poured a glass of water to Sister Ju."
Erfeng called out: "I'm going to pour tea."
The aunt stood up and replied: No, no, I still have something to do at home.
Shitou grabbed Auntie's wrist with one hand and said: Auntie, it's rare for us to meet again! You have to sit with me for a while!
The aunt said: Another day! Let’s talk when we have time! The two of us have gotten to know each other, and sooner or later we will have the opportunity to meet again.
"It's still early today. I can still work when I get home." The aunt looked at the sky and continued:
Xu Hongping replied: Sister Ju, the work is endless.
"After you finish lunch and leave, you also want me to show my respect to the landlord." Xu Hongping shouted:
The aunt continued: Between us, what are you talking about?
"Aunt Jue, come over and drink tea." Erfeng held the teapot and shouted:
The aunt said: I said "no".
Xu Hongping responded: "Now that the child is here, you can have a cup of tea before leaving."
Erfeng handed over a cup of tea and called: "Aunt Jue, please continue."
The aunt took the tea and licked it with her tongue.
Erfeng said: Aunt Jue, the tea does not scald your mouth, the tea is made with warm water.
The aunt poured the whole cup of tea into her mouth and said, "You guys stay, I'm leaving."
Xu Hongping saw her aunt taking steps and shouted: Sister Ju, come over and play when you have time.
Shitou said: Auntie, walk slowly...
