After dressing as a widow

The next day, Brother Lin sent Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao to the town. With such a strong labor force, Lin Zhen and Lin Xiaoyao were much more relaxed than yesterday, and arrived earlier than yesterday.

As soon as the stall was opened and the charcoal fire was lit, the shopkeeper who was the first to buy yesterday hurriedly came up with a string of copper coins: "Give me ten skewers of chicken and ten skewers of pork, and dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms, fungus, and radishes are only ten skewers! "

"!!!" Brother Lin was stunned watching from the side, what a guy, what a guy, this is coming to the door with money.

On the way, he had already asked clearly. Vegetables cost a penny a string, and meat cost a string of three pennies. He thought he had heard it wrong. Three pennies can buy an egg, and a few pennies can buy a catty of meat. He saw it yesterday. Don't dream about your money.

But the scene in front of him told him that it was not a dream!

Lin Zhen quickly put the things ordered by the shopkeeper into the spicy soup, cooked them and put them in two large bamboo tubes before packing them up: "Thanks for your patronage, one hundred coins, because you bought a lot, I specially gave you three more skewers Chicken, welcome to come again next time.”

"Oh, grand boss," the shopkeeper felt that he had won three skewers of fresh and tender chicken, and hurriedly called Lin Zhen: "Add a little more soup, I don't know how you made it, it's so delicious, cook some noodles and put it on the table." Inside, absolutely~"

The shopkeeper who bought it back for the first time yesterday didn't even taste the taste, so he ate a bowl of noodles mixed with spicy soup, which also told him to eat deliciously, so he came early this morning.

Lin Zhen was also refreshed and scooped up two spoonfuls of soup for this big customer.

The shopkeeper Fa hadn’t left with the bamboo tube, but yesterday the chubby middle-aged man with a big bowl came. When he saw the shopkeeper Fa, his eyebrows were not eyebrows, and his eyes were not eyes. His eyes were squinted by the fat and squinted at the shopkeeper. Yes, ask Lin Zhen: "How much did he buy?"

"Ten skewers of pork, ten skewers of chicken, and ten skewers of other vegetables."

The middle-aged man waved his big fat hand: "Eleven skewers of everything."

"..."

The shopkeeper said to Lin Zhen: "Cook for him, cook for him, this old boy still regrets not having me to please girls in the past, virtue!"

The middle-aged man didn't refute, he just stretched out his hands behind his back and stretched out his round belly: "That's what I call generous, I don't care about you, only you take those things seriously."

"Yes, yes, I take it seriously, then I'll go first, see you later."

The middle-aged man's face became anxious all of a sudden, and he urged Lin Zhen: "Is it cooked? That old grandson is going to run away."

The corners of Lin Zhen's mouth twitched while he was fishing for something, what the hell, you still want to rush up and overwhelm Mount Tai.

He hurriedly packed the things, asked Lin Xiaoyao to collect the money, and then handed the things to the middle-aged man.

I saw the middle-aged man holding two large bamboo tubes, rushing to the back of the shopkeeper at a speed that was seriously out of shape, and bumped the shopkeeper hard with his stomach.

……

Lin Zhen covered his face.

Today is busier than yesterday, Brother Lin was also called to cook Malatang and put it in Malatang together. When the box containing copper coins was full, Lin Zhen directly vacated the basket containing charcoal, and threw it in after receiving it.

There are a little more customers today than yesterday, almost all repeat customers and those who came to join in the fun after seeing the excitement, but the materials brought today are similar to those of yesterday, so the work is done earlier than yesterday.

Lin Zhen pulled the apron off his body, held the basket and said to Big Brother Lin: "Xiaoyao and I are going to buy some meat for tomorrow. Brother, you go to Sancha Road and wait for us. We will find you after we buy something."

The wooden box under the trolley was filled with copper coins and some small amounts of broken silver, and the basket next to it was also filled with a layer. Brother Lin's heart was like being hugged by a rabbit, fluttering.

But before he could answer, Lin Zhen dragged Lin Xiaoyao away, and the slender figure quickly disappeared at the corner of the street.

He could only carefully push the small cart to Sanchakou, found a seat against the wall and stood there, not daring to take his eyes off the cart for a moment.

In fact, he didn't need to do this. After all, in the eyes of others, although this small cart was still a novelty, the clay pots on it were not at all eye-catching. It only made people think how much money they could make by selling food.

Otherwise, Lin Zhen wouldn't have left so reassuringly and simply.

With Lin Xiaoyao, Lin Zhen first went to the pastry shop and bought two catties of jujube cake, then went to the butcher shop to buy five catties of high-quality pork belly, a pig's head, and a pair of pig's offal, and then went to the spice shop to buy spicy soup. spices.

When passing by a small vendor, he noticed that Lin Xiaoyao's gaze swept over the vendor, followed his gaze, and saw some carved wooden hairpins or brightly colored hairbands on the vendor. It looks like something for little brothers or women.

He rubbed his nose and realized that he seemed to have almost forgotten that Xiao Yao is a brother, and it is normal to like these things.

He grabbed Lin Xiaoyao who was walking in front of him, pulled him to the front of the stall, and nodded his chin there: "Which one do you like, let's buy one."

Lin Xiaoyao shook her head: "No, we won't buy it."

Lin Zhen found out that Lin Xiaoyao is a typical inconsistency syndrome, if you say no, you will!

He scanned around, picked up a light blue headband embroidered with peach blossoms, and stuffed it into Lin Xiaoyao's hands: "I think this looks good, it looks energetic."

Then I picked another peach red, one pink, and one blue, which happened to be Chunxiang, Xingxiang, Huaixiang, and each of them. Don't use these things, and buy the right ones later.

The small vendor who was selling things did not expect this handsome guy who was dressed in ordinary clothes to be so generous. He wrapped his hair band in oiled paper and said, "Your vision is really good. You can buy the best hair from my stall." They were all picked away, a total of 36 essays."

As soon as Lin Xiaoyao heard the 36 articles, she wanted to take out her wages from yesterday.

"Okay, take the money." Lin Zhen directly gave the copper coins to the peddler, and stuffed the hairbands to Lin Xiaoyao, "You go back and give them hair, and then give them a good-looking hair."

Holding the hairband, Lin Xiaoyao pursed her lips: "Thank you brother."

"It's all brother, why don't you say thank you," Lin Zhen snorted his hair on his head, "Let's go, brother should be in a hurry."

His voice is a bit special, his tone is softer than most people's, and the end of his speech is raised. Once you hear it once, you will never forget it.

Gu Shuanzi, who was being pulled by his aunt, turned his head suddenly, and saw Lin Zhen touching the hair of a rather handsome black boy, and the two walked towards the street with a smile.

He gritted his teeth, and took a step over there.

Ma Shi immediately tightened his grip on his hand, and there was a little expression on his white painted face, and he looked down at Gu Shuanzi: "There are people coming and going in this town, you should be more careful, if you leave What if I lose it!"

While talking to Gu Shuanzi, the red lips that perfectly matched her thick face said to the shopkeeper, "Bring me that piece of blue cloth."

The shopkeeper took it off immediately, and said with a smile: "The cotton cloth is of the highest quality, and the color is also dyed well. Madam, if you can see it, you can bring one. It will definitely give you more face when you make clothes and wear them out."

These words touched Ma Shi's heart, and he bowed his head affectionately to Gu Shuanzi and said, "Just take one and make clothes for us Shuanzi."

Years later, the eight-year-old Gu Shuanzi, with dark eyes, looked at Ma Shi without saying a word.

Ma Shi held his hand more and more vigorously, the powder on his face seemed to have turned into a pale mask, because it was seriously inconsistent with the face underneath, and the powder dropped down.

She asked her husband to take the cloth, and took Gu Shuanzi back to the village in a carriage.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village and got off the carriage, the old uncles and aunts who were enjoying the shade under the big tree all rushed to greet her: "Zhou Tao, your family went shopping in the town again, let me see, the color is really good." cloth!"

Mrs. Ma embraced Gu Shuanzi: "I bought it for our Shuanzi, isn't it hot, it's just right to make clothes."

"It's still the two of you who are thoughtful, there is nothing more appropriate than this."

"Well, that's all we can do. If the child's parents are still there, it's definitely better than living with us." Mrs. Ma insisted on standing and chatting with them for a while before leaving. Gu Shuanzi was opened.

Gu Shuanzi, who got his own way, broke away from him fiercely, and was about to enter the house while running.

Mrs. Ma quickly called the two [-]- and [-]-year-old sons in the family: "Oh, stop someone, don't tell him to rush into the house!"

Zhou Tao is a big-boned person, and his two sons follow him. They are 1.6 meters tall at a young age, and they chased and blocked the eight-year-old Gu Shuanzi to the ground.

Zhou Tao looked at Gu Shuanzi who was pinned down firmly on the ground and wanted to say something, and Ma Shi said first: "You take care of your cousin, I went to the pharmacy just now, the doctor said that his madness seems to be getting worse, not only I won’t be able to speak in the future, and I may still beat people.”

The doctor in the pharmacy did say these words, and Zhou Tao was there when he said them.

It's just that he couldn't figure out why the good nephew couldn't speak when he got to his house, and he threw things and smashed things when he disagreed with him.

He sat on the chair with a dejected expression, looked at Gu Shuanzi who was tied up by his two sons and pushed him to the largest and best room, and sincerely said to his deceased sister, brother tried his best.

Gu Shuanzi, whose hands were tied and thrown on the bed casually, struggled like crazy, but no matter how he moved, his body, which had not eaten a grain of rice for two days, became weaker and weaker, and was useless at all.

His face was half buried in the quilt, with only one eye exposed that seemed to be soaked in bright red blood.

He thought of everything about coming here, and thought of Lin Zhen who he saw in the town today.

How quickly he changed to a husband who was younger than his father so quickly.

-

"Why are my ears so hot..." At the dinner table, Lin Zhen couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his earlobes.

Father Lin, who was sitting next to him, took a look, and he was really red like blood, he smiled and said: "Someone is thinking about you, and thinking about you very much."

"Everyone who can miss me is on this table. Could it be that Gu Da misses me?"

"You child, how can you say such horrible words!" Dad Lin was taken aback, but Lin Zhen's words reminded him of something, he guessed, and tentatively said, "Brother Zhen, you Do you have any plans to find someone to live with again?"

"Pfft—" The soup in his mouth spurted out, and Lin Zhen quickly wiped his mouth.

Father Lin said: "I met someone in the village during the day, and he mentioned to me that he has a cousin who lived far away. The year before last, when the daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, he had bad luck. Now I want to find someone who knows the cold and the hot Yes, have a good time."

"Father asked, that young man is nice, he looks upright, he can also be a carpenter, and he earns five or six taels of silver a year, and the two old people in the family are also kind, so he won't suffer if he gets married."

"My dear father, do you think such a person will take a fancy to me?"

It wasn't that Lin Zhen blamed himself, as a little brother, he was able to seduce Young Master Qian and enter the Qian family when he was at home, and he was kicked out by the Qian family because of the light pregnancy mole, and then he turned around and hooked up with Gu Da.

Although he didn't do it, but in this era, normal people would have already made a detour when they saw him, let alone such a bright and wealthy son-in-law came to the door, what a great thing this is.

Father Lin obviously also knew about his brother's situation, coughed and said: "...that kid didn't know where he saw you, so he just..."

Lin Zhen understood that his feelings were based on this face.
