Pan Jinlian's petty bourgeoisie life

Those who are round or not are just talking about it. When the time comes, it will be true to cook some delicious dishes, eat moon cakes and enjoy the moon. "

Pan Jinlian saw that she was not in high spirits, so she smiled and encouraged her. It is a good thing to celebrate the festival, but everyone should have fun.Sister-in-law Liu thought for a while, then nodded with a smile and agreed:

"Exactly. In the past, I was single, and now you are reunited with my sister. Why don't we count the bad luck after the Mid-Autumn Festival and cleanse you up?"

The two had made up their minds, and Pan Jinlian decided on the menu with great interest. Wang Po is also going out to buy daily necessities for the festival these few days, so she asked her to go out and bring some for herself.

After writing the standard configuration of four dishes and one soup with meat and vegetables, sister-in-law Liu also helped the staff. It has been so many years since there has been no excitement, and I still think about the carefree days when I was a girl.The two of them finished discussing with a list like children. Sister-in-law Liu couldn't read, so she couldn't read the authentic simple vernacular script written by Pan Jinlian, but thought hers was pretty good-looking.

It was getting dark, both of them were full, no one mentioned about dinner, but Pan Jinlian went to the kitchen to make two bowls of lotus seed soup for supper, and then they both rinsed their mouths with bamboo salt and went to bed.

Pan Jinlian looked at the bright moon in the sky, round like a moon cake, but couldn't think of a complete poem about the moon in her mind, and felt that it was normal for her not to meet any princes, nobles, emperors and generals, and she had no regrets .It's just that it's not very pleasant to be afraid of wolves and tigers all day long, and it's not easy to think about everything first, but compared to living with a full body, these seem to be nothing. Looking at a bright moon, Pan Jinlian found that I realized it myself.

So, I closed the window and continued to sleep.

18 Welcome

Moving is never done by humans. Pan Jinlian couldn't calm down for several days. She withered on the small bench and pretended to be a dog's tail flower, basking in the sun to replenish her strength.

The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, Wang Po has already started preparations, let Xing'er watch the tea house and carry a basket and go out several times a day to buy things, such as mooncakes filled with sweet-scented osmanthus bean paste, red and black grapes, and various seasonal fruits Vegetables, and finally came back with a chicken and a lot of seasonings—of course, I never forgot to bring some for Pan Jinlian every time, in case she would be overwhelmed and die—Wang Po thought that Pan Jinlian was sluggish now Depressed and miserable, I missed my husband.

Pan Jinlian settled the accounts for her, stretched her body and took a bunch of things back into the house. Sister-in-law Liu had eaten Pan Jinlian's dishes, and she thought they were not as delicious as hers, but her knife skills were much better than hers. So rushing to squat in the kitchen to clean up chicken, duck and fish.

There is a strong aroma everywhere in the small street. The aroma of the fried fish stew and the sweet and greasy skin of the moon cake mixed with the filling makes people feel lazy.Pan Jinlian was leaning on a chair with a half-worn table and a pot of chrysanthemum tea beside her. She drank tea and watched the passers-by on the side street at the entrance of the alley with a fan.

Before noon, the sun was still burning like a tiger in autumn, Wang Po was also stewing meat with spiced seeds on the tea stove, and a kitten was lying beside her, with its plump body curled up, staring at it, half asleep. The tea stove seems to be trying to find a gap to grab a piece of roast meat to eat.

Therefore, Pan Jinlian realized that she was being lazy, and as a result, a few gangsters entered the alley without noticing, and kept watching to see if the kitten could steal meat.

"Oh, isn't this the wife of Master Wu? No, she should be the little widow of Master Wu now."

It was Chen Jiu and the others, all wearing fake satin gowns, holding folding fans in their hands to pretend to be gentle, winking at Pan Jinlian and making fun of them at the entrance of Wang Po Teahouse.Pan Jinlian frowned, feeling that it would not be a good thing to confront them now, so she got up and took a step into the room, and was about to close the door, but Chen Jiu suddenly rushed forward, standing in the middle of the door, picked up The fan made a poke at Pan Jinlian's neckline, and she dodged it, but she was not annoyed, just said with a smile:

"Why, miss, did you forget about you, Chen Jiuye?"

"Of course I didn't go. It's just that Chen Jiuye probably forgot about my bastards and left. What's the matter, isn't it itchy anymore?"

Pan Jinlian stood at the door, took out a paper bag from her belt, and replied with a sneer:

"If Chen Jiuye forgets about me, I can still remind you of it."

Chen Jiu hurriedly took a few steps back, lowered his eyes and cursed:

"You little widow loses her star, Chen Jiuye, I have a crush on you, you don't know how to flatter!"

"Master Jiu, don't panic, this little widow also has some sorcery, don't say that Wu Da just married her and suffered disaster, even Wu Song, the tiger-fighting hero, is so strong that he didn't calm down, it's the official Ximen Didn't she die because of her? Let's be cautious, maybe she is really a loser, and whoever gets involved will suffer."

Taking advantage of Chen Jiu's scolding dry mouth, a person next to him who had suffered a lot hurriedly came up to persuade him, Chen Jiu then closed his mouth, but looked at Pan Jinlian with burning eyes, but the good fat couldn't reach his mouth, It just makes people itch.But there is something strange about this woman, could it be that she is really evil?

"Don't talk nonsense, don't you know about the lawsuit from the high official Ximen? Didn't you tell the high official that the young widow followed the little widow to her house? It's your kid who caused the death of the star."

The boy in black with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks scratched his head and laughed:

"Where is it me? In the final analysis, the high official of Ximen himself committed a demonic obstacle. He must have met a fragrant woman. Unfortunately, someone in the family has tuberculosis, so I insisted on taking a look, so I quietly followed her to the Wu family. I didn't know where the tuberculosis was, it was clearly the temptress who hurt us a few days ago, so I told the senior official Ximen all of this, thinking that the senior official Ximen would punish her, who knew the senior official He actually went to give Wuhan University a kick, that Wuhan University is also such a softie, he was kicked to death."

Pan Jinlian heard that it was these two people playing tricks, she couldn't help getting angry, wishing to kill the two of them directly, just as she was about to have the guts of a bird in her hand at any time, she directly rushed towards them along the direction of the wind, It all fell on the faces of Chen Jiu and the others.

"Oh, what!"

"Jiuye, my eyes are still burning, and that temptress is playing tricks again!"

Several people jumped and shouted, Chen Jiu stood at the front, covered his eyes and turned around a few times, sobbing and shouting:

"It really is a broom star, hurry up, and don't encounter this bad luck again! Oh, what, get out of here!"

While talking, he strode forward and ran out, but at the entrance of the alley, he met two beggars, one big and one small, who entered the alley. Chen Jiu kicked the grown man to the ground, and didn't care about doing it again. Embarrassed, he flew to find water.

*************************************************

Pan Jinlian looked at the one lying on the door panel and the one sitting on the stool, and sighed inwardly, thinking that she was a good person.

Chen Jiu is a bad guy, so if he did something bad, he can pat his ass and leave, but Pan Jinlian can't let herself watch the two die at the entrance of the alley against her will, not to mention that the accident of these two people has something to do with her relation.

Called Brother Yun to carry the unconscious beggar to the door of his house, Wang Po took two pills for refreshing the mind, crushed them and fed them with water, and finally rescued the beggar, then The person also slowly woke up, and after listening to Wang Po's story, he hurriedly dragged the little one to thank Pan Jinlian.

"You look old, but I can't bear it. You guys are hungry. I still have some leftover food here. If you don't mind, just eat some."

The old man's face was covered with dust and creases, his clothes were torn, and he was leaning on a wooden stick. The little girl next to him was also in a mess, her face was so dirty that she could see her original appearance.Pan Jinlian looked at them pitifully, and felt sore in her heart, but she didn't let them into the house, but went back to the kitchen by herself, took out the noodle soup left over from yesterday, and asked Xing'er to buy twenty more at the street corner. The big buns stuffed with fresh meat were always put in a small dustpan made of bamboo strips, put them on the ground, and said with a smile:

"Let's not talk about anything else. Eating, it's best to have a big meal. There's nothing to say when you're full."

The two of them hadn't eaten seriously for several days, and they didn't care about the mud and dust on their hands, so they grabbed the buns and stuffed them into their mouths, holding a bowl of noodle soup while eating.

"Don't worry, there will be more after eating, enough for you to eat."

Pan Jinlian felt a little panicked, fortunately she still had a place to stand, how would she live if she reached this point?Thinking about it, I felt a little rejoiced.

The old one and the other were full of snacks, wiped their mouths and thanked:

"Living Bodhisattva, we saved your life!"

As she said that, she fell to her knees and kowtowed three times to her.Pan Jinlian hastened to help people up, but it was just a few buns, not worthy of being trampled on like this.

"Don't thank me, everyone is human, and no one can feel at ease when they see people starving to death. But where did you come from, and how did you end up in such a state?"

"Hey, what should I say, there is a severe drought and flood in the south, and we can't survive, so we went out to flee the famine. As a result, this girl's parents fell ill and died on the road. We are fellow villagers, and we have distant relatives with us. Take her all the way to this place. It's just. Just... there is no shop that can take us to work. We haven't eaten for three days. I have a conscience and can't sell this girl to a kiln, but I can't let her Starved to death, only to eat what I think is a bad idea to deceive people."

Pan Jinlian saw that the old man's cloudy eyes seemed a little wet, and couldn't help but sighed repeatedly.
