After coming out of the old house, Chu Heng and his wife chatted with the neighbors for a few more words before turning around and getting in the car.
"Tu tu tu tu!"
After starting the car, Chu Heng glanced at his wife, who was smiling and in a good mood, and asked, "Where are you going? Should I take you back to your work or go home directly?"
Ni Yinghong bit her rosy and sexy lips and said hesitantly: "Well... there's nothing to do today anyway. How about we go to the Xidan vegetable market? I won't go back to the work."
"Okay, I'm going to buy a chicken. Didn't you still want to eat chicken last night?" Chu Heng smiled strangely and stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped off.
"Are you speechless or what?"
The girl was immediately ashamed and annoyed, and she gave the guy a hard look. She was not relieved after thinking about it, and even stretched out her hand to twist his waist. The blush on her pretty face was like the sunset in the evening, indescribably charming and bright.
"Oh, don't make trouble. I was driving. I was wrong. It's okay if I was wrong." Chu Heng yelled and begged for mercy.
The couple laughed and made noise all the way, and soon arrived at the Xidan Vegetable Market.
There were as many people as ever in this place. In front of the market, crowds of people were rubbing shoulders, walking in and out one after another. Chu Heng protected the pregnant woman at home and walked around, bought some vegetables, and then some. After two pig trotters came out, I walked around the street again and bought pine nut tripe and croquettes. I also bought some snacks when passing by Dashunzhai. I continued shopping like this until about four o'clock. My feet were seriously swollen and I usually walked a lot. Xiao Ni, who complained that his feet hurt after just two steps, finally announced that he was going home.
"Oops, my feet hurt."
As soon as Fang returned to the car, Ni Yinghong was like an eggplant beaten by frost, groaning and leaning back on the chair, listless.
"Then I told you to leave and you won't leave? This guy's feet are like stepping on hot wheels. If you don't pay attention, he will disappear. If you don't know, you will think you are pregnant with Nezha!" Chu Heng was angry and funny. He scolded his wife, and then he felt distressed and handed her the bag of croquettes wrapped in brown paper. He first used delicious food to relieve his wife's pain, then quickly started the car, planning to squeeze her feet when he got back.
Her husband's folk remedy had an immediate effect. As soon as she took the croquettes, which were warm on the outside and tender on the inside, Ni Yinghong felt that her waist was no longer sore, her feet were no longer painful, and her whole body became in high spirits, as if she could still eat it. Just walk around for another hour or two.
The girl was eating the meatballs, looking sideways at her husband, and occasionally putting one in his mouth, her eyebrows were crescent, and her smile was sweet.
It didn't take long.
The young couple returned to Xiaolihua.
Chu Heng was walking slowly in the alley, carrying something in one hand and supporting his overstuffed wife with the other.
Ni Yinghong's self-control has been very weak since she got married, especially when it comes to food. Once she eats something delicious that she likes, she can't control her mouth.
Would you say it's annoying?
"Hey, Dashunzhai's dim sum, are you two going to Xidan?"
When they met Aunt Zhang next door, the old lady glanced at the snack boxes in their hands and couldn't help showing a look of envy on her face.
"Yeah, I don't have anything to do this afternoon, so I just went shopping." Xiao Ni nodded with a smile, generously took out the small half pack of candied dates that he had just finished in the car from his pocket, and took two inside He handed it to the Zhang family's grandson who was drooling at the net bag in Chu Heng's hand next to the old lady: "Here, take this and eat it."
The little guy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take the candied dates. He was afraid that his brothers and sisters would snatch them when he went back, so he stuffed them into his mouth, but he didn't eat them, but tasted a little bit.
However, Aunt Zhang raised her eyebrows and scolded with a loud glare: "You brat, how do you teach me? Why don't you thank you quickly, Aunt Chu? You really need to be dealt with. Let's see if I beat you when I get back!"
The little guy didn't seem to hear anything, and kept his head down as he ate by himself.
"Did you hear what I said?" The old lady felt a little embarrassed for a moment and raised her hand to strike.
Chu Heng hurriedly stopped him: "Don't worry, Aunt Zhang, what does a kid know?"
But the old lady didn't really want to hit her precious little grandson, she just wanted to scare her. After hearing this, she borrowed the donkey down the slope, scolded the little guy for a few words, and then said in a different tone: "Hey, by the way, that one of yours is called Yang Qing's relatives are here again, and this time they are bringing a girl with them, I think it is probably the match, she is quite handsome."
"Yeah, Yang Qing's partner is here, so we won't tell you for now." Ni Yinghong pulled Chu Heng back with a gossipy look on her face. She wanted to see what this younger sibling looked like earlier. Fast.
"Slow down, slow down, don't fall." Chu Heng stayed beside her, dumbfounded.
A few moments.
The two of them returned home. As soon as Fang entered the hospital, he heard conversations coming from the house. The easily identifiable honest laughter was that of Yang Qing.
"Go quickly, go quickly."
Xiao Ni hurriedly pulled her husband inside. After entering the main room, she saw Yang Guizhi and Yang Qing, siblings, sitting on the edge of the kang chatting. Ren Lingling, who had braided two braids, was next to Yang. Qing was sitting, and there was a big cloth bag on the Eight Immortals table. It was full of stuff, and he didn't know what was in it.
"Yang Qing is here."
Ni Yinghong said hello with a smile, and then looked at the beautiful Ren Lingling: "Is this your partner?"
"Brother, sister-in-law." Yang Qing stood up quickly and introduced the person next to her with a proud look on his face: "This is my partner Ren Lingling. We have both received the certificates. The wedding will be held on the 16th of this month."
Arriving in a strange place, at the home of her distant brother who was rumored to be the husband of a high official, the little girl felt a little embarrassed and pinched the corners of her patched dark floral coat, lowered her head shyly, and said : "Brother, sister-in-law."
"Hey, sit down quickly." Xiao Ni also saw her uneasiness, walked forward with a smile, and enthusiastically took her rough palms to sit on the kang, chatting with her in a soft voice about how old she was, and what Yang Qing said to her. How are you and so on?
Ren Lingling, who was busy at home, was unusually docile at this time. She squeezed her sister-in-law's soft and smooth palm, looked at her bright clothes, picturesque eyebrows, and then looked at her own rough palm. She was the best in the family, but The clothes that were still not on display made me feel a little ashamed for a moment.
This sister-in-law and brother Hengzi are really good match!
The little girl sighed.
After Chu Heng chatted with Yang Qing for a while, seeing that it was getting late, he hurriedly said to Yang Guizhi who was sorting out the things they brought back: "Sister Guizhi, don't do this now, it's better to do it quickly. Let's go have dinner. Stew the pig's trotters and cut the belly. After that, you can go to the grocery store to see if there is any more meat. Let's prepare some decent dishes. Yang Qing and I will have some drinks today."
"Hey, I'm going right now."
Yang Guizhi nodded with a smile and went to the house to get the money, tickets and food basket.
"Oh, brother, there's no need to go to such trouble, as long as you stutter." Yang Qing hurriedly tried to stop him.
"Stay there, do you think I made this dish for you? I told you that you are borrowing Lingling's money, do you know that?" Chu Heng pulled him back and went to the table to put the dish He brought over a box of snacks and a pack of candied fruits, placed them between Xiao Ni and Ren Lingling, and said with a smile: "Come on, Lingling, eat something to fill your stomach first, the meal will be ready later. Don't be polite when you get here, just follow It’s like home.”
Ren Lingling looked at the snacks she had never seen before and couldn't help but secretly swallowed. But she was too embarrassed to speak. She quickly waved her hands and said duplicity: "No, brother, I... I'm not hungry!"
"Oh, eat it quickly. I'm telling you, these Dashunzhai mahjong strips are so fragrant. Try them." Xiao Ni picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her hand without any explanation.
Ren Lingling glanced at Yang Qing, and after getting a look of approval from the other party, she carefully took a bite. In an instant, she was conquered by the fine and rustic taste surrounded by sesame paste and sesame seeds in her mouth.
"Delicious!"
She smiled happily and ate the pastry in her hand in small bites. At the end, she stuck out her tongue like a kitten and licked the pastry residue off her hand.
Chu Heng sat aside and chatted with her for a few words, and then he and Yang Qing went to the Eight Immortals Table to drink tea.
"Crash!"
After he gave Yang Qing tea, he picked up the contents of the cloth bag on the table and saw that they were all walnuts, chestnuts and the like. He was not afraid of bumping them, so he grabbed a handful and put them on the table, then picked up the cloth bag. Put it under the table, and at the same time asked the little brother: "Why are you in the city this time? To purchase goods?"
"Hey, I have three things to do when I come back!" Yang Qing rubbed his hands.
Um?
fair? fair? Is this really fair?
Chu Hengzi took a sip of tea and asked, "What's the matter?"
"One is to purchase goods, and the other is to treat you. On the day of my wedding, you must go and have a wedding drink. The third..." Yang Qing smiled a little embarrassedly: "I want to ask you to help me get a watch ticket. , but you have to collect money this time."
"What? Are you planning to buy it for your wife?" Chu Heng asked with a smile.
"Hehe, she is the captain's daughter and she has married into our family. We can't treat her badly." Yang Qing said with a wink.
"What are you talking about?" Ren Lingling on the side heard it clearly. She stared at her almond-shaped eyes in embarrassment, wanting to teach him a few words, but thinking that this was someone else's house, she suppressed her temper and waited for her partner to look at her again. , ready to go back and deal with him.
"I think Yang Qing is right. We, Lingling, are indeed getting married, so we can't treat her badly." Xiao Nijiao said with a smile.
"Oh, sister-in-law, aren't you ashamed of me?" Ren Lingling blushed immediately. She could still say her identity as the captain's daughter in the countryside, but she was too shy to say it in the imperial city. .
"Ha ha."
Several people in the room laughed and laughed for a while, and Chu Heng finally spoke and asked his wife: "Hey, Ni Yinghong, I remember that we have a watch ticket at home, right? Where did you put it?"
"What kind of memory do you have? Have you forgotten that you gave the vote to Guo Xia in the last paragraph? You also always said that I was stupid after getting pregnant. I don't think you are any smarter." Ni Yinghong looked at her husband sideways, with a little pride on her face. I always get criticized for making mistakes, but today I can make a comeback.
"Oh, look at my memory." Chu Heng suddenly remembered and slapped his forehead.
Seeing this, Ren Lingling showed a hint of disappointment. When Yang Qing said he wanted to buy her a watch, she had been happy for several days, but she didn't expect it to be over before it even started.
But she didn't blame Yang Qing, nor did she question whether Chu Heng and his wife were lying to her.
If you can't buy it, then you can't buy it. It's good to save money and do other things.
The little girl quickly broke away from the disappointment and smiled brightly and said: "It's okay, brother, forget it if you don't have it. I didn't want to buy a watch at first. It's too expensive and I don't think it's useful. That money would be better spent buying a few more pieces of furniture.”
"Hey, don't worry about it. This kid Yang Qing is much richer than you think. He doesn't need this little money." Chu Heng heard from one of Wan Xiaotian's subordinates who returned to the city to do business two days ago. Yang Qing recently got a lot of silver coins, and exchanged them for seven or eight hundred yuan at Wan Xiaotian's, so he asked the little brother carelessly: "Do you just want watches and tickets? Bicycles, radios, sewing machines, etc. ,Do you want?"
"This... I just thought about it." Yang Qing was a little moved, but then he said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that it won't be easy to explain when I go back, so much money."
"It's okay. I went out for a drink today. If you really want to buy it, just say I borrowed your money to buy it when you get back. Don't say it's new, just say it's second-hand." Chu Heng said in a generous tone.
Yang Qing's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then he pondered for a moment and said: "Your method is good, but it won't cause you any trouble, right? What if any relatives hear that you are so generous and come to fight with you? Especially Yang Laoxi, he is famous for being shameless."
"This is not something you should think about. You can just say whether you want it or not." Chu Heng smiled and looked at him. He was more pleased with this little brother. He didn't just ask for it, but he knew how to consider others. Not bad, not bad. He is a transparent person.
Seeing him like this, Yang Qing stopped worrying and said with a smile: "I want it, I want it, with you here to take care of it, what should I be afraid of? Sewing machine, bicycle, radio, watch, I want them all!"
Ren Lingling was dumbfounded. She was surprised when her partner asked him to buy a watch, but now he wants to buy such a big item. She quickly asked: "No, Yang Qing, where did you get so much money?"
"I'll tell you about this later." Yang Qing grinned at her, and then said to Chu Heng: "Brother, I didn't want to buy so many things when I came here. I didn't bring that much money with me. Please give it to me first. Do you want to put it in advance? I will give the money to Brother Oda later when I get home."
"Sure." Chu Heng nodded, then raised his finger and pointed outside, saying: "Well, you go out now and look for the people squatting there on the other side of the alley. They are all Du San brothers. You can Say it was me who said it, and ask them to send me the counting tickets immediately."
"Hey, I'll go right away." Yang Qing quickly stood up and ran out.
Ren Lingling frowned and looked at the back of her partner. She thought they already knew each other, but now she suddenly felt that she didn't know each other, and she felt uneasy for a while.
Ni Yinghong has rich experience in this. She only roughly knew some things about Chu Heng after she married him. It took her several days to adjust her mentality. So Xiao Ni took Ren Lingling's hand and bit it with a smile. Ear: "After thinking so much, isn't it for you that he buys these things? So you just need to know that this guy Yang Qing has no problem with his humanity and is sincerely good to you, right? As for where the money comes from, if he doesn't Say, when you go back to the wedding room, you won’t let him touch you, see if he says it or not!”
"I'm telling you, these men are easy to deal with. When they put on their clothes, they are smarter than anyone else, but if they take off their clothes, their brains are not as useful as those of my two dogs."
"I'll teach you a few tricks..."
Ren Lingling blushed upon hearing this, but kept her sister-in-law's words firmly in her heart.
Chu Heng looked at his wife with a strange look on his face, "Can you teach her a little bit?"
