Hearing Tan's inquiry, Old Yangtou also looked at Kang Xiaozi in surprise.
"Yes, today is the first day of the new year. There is a big market in town, so business must be good today. Why didn't you go?" the old man also asked.
Kang Xiaozi brought the egg drop noodles to Lao Yangtou and explained the reason why he stayed at home today.
Mainly because Liu Jinchuan's fetal appearance has been a bit bad these past two days, with waist aches, back pain, and a little redness.
The doctor said it was best to stay in bed for two days. After all, Liu Jinchuan had been soaked in the water of the village entrance pond for a long time when she was pregnant, and her body's vitality was damaged...
"Why are you so squeamish when you're pregnant! We were giving birth to babies for years, just like a hen laying eggs, but nothing like this!" Mrs. Tan muttered, obviously worried about her grandson's daughter-in-law staying in bed at home and delaying her grandson. There is quite a bit of criticism about opening a business to make money.
When Kang Xiaozi heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly, but he was not in a hurry to argue.
As the grandson of the old Yang family, he grew up in the west room in the backyard, and lived across the door from Tan, who lived in the east room.
Kang Xiaozi knew very well about Tan's temperament.
At this time, it is the wisest thing to pretend not to hear and ignore her, and don't defend Jin Chuan with a clear-cut stance to argue with the old lady, choosing to ignore her.
If you force it, not only will it fail to explain the success, but it will also anger the old lady, thinking that you are blindly loving your wife and that you are a slave to her.
On the contrary, it caused a wave of hatred for Jin Chuan, which was not worth it.
Kang Xiaozi was silent and gave the second bowl of egg drop noodles to Mrs. Tan, "Master, milk, you eat slowly, I will go over first and come back at noon!"
After saying these words, Kang Xiaozi fled the east room like a fly.
"What are you doing, kid, running so fast? I'm eating noodles, and I don't want to eat him, really!" Tan muttered, sat down, and picked up the chopsticks with an unhappy look on his face.
Lao Yangtou, who was sitting opposite her, had already picked up the noodles with chopsticks and was eating them while blowing them.
Hearing Tan's muttering, Old Yangtou just laughed.
"You have already begun to criticize your grandson's wife. How could your grandson be willing to sit down and listen to your nagging?" the old man said.
Mrs. Tan said unconvinced: "I did it for his own good. If I don't leave the stall for a day, I feel sorry for him trying to get money..."
Old Yangtou: "You mean well, I understand that, but your kind words may not make him happy to hear them."
"Good medicine is bitter to the mouth and good for the disease, and good advice is bad to the ears and good to the deeds. Why is he not willing to listen to my good words?" Ms. Tan asked, pointing to the door of the house with her chopsticks, "People outside offer money in exchange for what I say, but I don't even say it. Just because he is my eldest grandson, I’m just saying this!”
Lao Yang nodded, "Yes, yes, you are right, eat, eat!"
"It's noodles, not food!" Ms. Tan corrected forcefully.
Old Yang was stunned for a moment, and nodded again: "Yes, yes, it was a slip of the tongue. Eat noodles, eat noodles!"
Mrs. Tan then lowered her head and said nothing, and began to eat the noodles.
Old Yangtou also ate in silence.
In fact, there are some words that the old man keeps buried under his tongue.
For example, there is nothing wrong with Kang Xiaozi taking a day off at home today.
Business can be done every day, but Jin Chuan's fetal appearance cannot be careless, as it is related to a child's life.
It is related to the prosperity and prosperity of the people in the fourth room, and it is related to the energy and spirit of the fourth room and the luck of the first room.
…
During lunch, Mr. Liu stood at the door of the fourth room, waiting on tiptoes and looking in the direction from Qingshui Town.
Didn't the fourth brother say that the three Li brothers will definitely come back before noon, and they will also pass by here? It's almost time for dinner, why haven't they come back yet?
While Ms. Liu was waiting, a man wearing a straw hat with sun protection on his head came from a distance and walked up to Mr. Liu.
The man lifted the straw hat up, revealing the young, immature, even childish face under the straw hat.
"Fourth Aunt Yang, these are the two packets of rat poison that Uncle Yang brought this morning!"
Only then did Ms. Liu realize that the person standing in front of her was none other than Li Laosan.
Looking at the front and back of Li Laosan, there is no Li Laoshan and Li Laoer.
Weird, no wonder she didn't see Li Laosan coming just now. It turned out to be because she was focused on the figures of the three people walking together. Mrs. Liu didn't pay attention at all to the one or two figures passing by on the road. Go and take a look.
Even if her eyes glanced over the other person's body, she wouldn't be distracted and just glanced at him.
So when she saw Li Laosan standing in front of her unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu actually felt like she was being teased.
"Why are you the only one? Your eldest brother and your second brother?" Liu asked urgently, scanning the pedestrians on the road, trying to catch the other two fish that had slipped through the net.
However, after looking around for a while, I couldn't see the figures of Mr. Li and Mr. Li at all.
"Fourth aunt has been found, my eldest brother and second brother are still in the town and haven't come back yet!" Li Laosan saw through Liu's intention at a glance, suppressing a smile in his heart, but said calmly.
"What do you mean? Why don't they come back with you?" Ms. Liu asked.
The anger he had before has weakened a little now.
Because she heard that Li Laoer didn't slip away by another way on purpose, but because he didn't come back at all...
Li Laosan guessed that Mrs. Liu would inquire, so he told Mr. Liu the excuse the three brothers had discussed in advance.
The general idea is that the three brothers met a relative from my uncle's house when their mother was still alive. The relative's family moved to the town, and they happened to be looking for craftsmen outside to repair doors and windows.
The three Li brothers wanted to call their relative uncle, so they were taken to his house to help repair the doors and windows.
"How long will it take to repair it? Will I be given food? Will I be paid?" Ms. Liu asked again.
Li Laosan showed a confused expression, shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. My elder brother doesn't allow me to ask..."
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Laosan in front of her again. She was indeed a young man, no more than three or four years older than her granddaughter Chunxia...
Forget it, I didn’t know for sure even if I asked him. I guess both Li Lao and Li Lao Er regarded Li Lao San as their sons!
"Where's the rat medicine?" Ms. Liu asked again.
Li Laosan quickly handed it over.
Mrs. Liu took it and nodded towards Li Laosan, "Okay, thank you very much!"
"Fourth Aunt is welcome."
"By the way, why did you come back alone? Why don't you go over with your two brothers to help? Even if you don't get paid, can't you still get a meal?" Mrs. Liu blinked, her gossiping heart became vivid again. Woke up.
The previous morning's quarrel with a woman in the village because the big yellow dog had taken away the food box seemed to have happened a long time ago and had no impact on her mood at this moment.
