Chapter 225 The Mysterious Woman

Dong Bao turned back with a smile, glanced at the woman, and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman in front of her is not yet 30 years old, she is very brightly dressed, the emerald green silk gown tightly wraps her exquisite upper body, her lower body is a lake green silk skirt, the sleeves on her raised arms have slipped a lot , showing a white and tender arm, with a gold bracelet on the arm, a gold ring on the ear, and a gold bracelet inlaid with pearls on the left and right sides of the hair bun, with a fair face and high cheekbones , eyebrows trimmed thinly, Zhao Dongbao took two steps closer, and could still smell a slightly strong smell of powder on his body.

"I'm looking for your proprietress! You go and call her out." The woman repeated, fanning her hands, her eyes roving non-stop, looking at the shop, seeing the lively and festive scene inside, He pursed his lips.

It was precisely because the woman took two steps closer that Dong Bao, in addition to smelling a strong smell of powder on her body, also keenly saw that the sleeves of the woman's silk gown had taken off silk, and the silk clothes were only for wearing When the number of times is too many, it will become fluffy and silky.

Obviously this woman doesn't look like a "good woman", and she refuses to report her family name. How could Dong Bao let Mrs. Li come out to meet her, so she smiled and said, "Our lady boss is not here today."

The woman obviously didn't believe Dong Bao's words, so she went straight to the shop and said, "She's in the back, I'll go find her!"

"Hey! Stop!" Dong Bao stopped the woman with a frown, and said, "I am the proprietress, tell me what you have to say."

The woman covered her mouth and giggled, looked Dong Bao up and down, and said with a smile, "You are the proprietress? Little girl, it's not good to lie!"

Dong Bao also smiled, "It's not good for me to lie. Wouldn't it be worse for you to break into someone's house without the owner's permission? But, believe it or not, this shop really belongs to me. If you don't believe me, ask them." Dong Bao pointed to the lotus of the helpers, and made up her mind that if the woman forced her way, she would ask someone to throw the woman out.

"Oh...it's you!" The woman looked like she suddenly remembered, she nodded knowingly, scanned Dongbao from top to bottom with sharp eyes, and said with a snort, "I see, you It's the boss's wife's daughter, where's your mother?"

"You tell who you are first, if you don't tell me, please go back." Dong Bao shook his head.

The woman laughed, staring at the direction of the yard and said: "I am your mother's business friend, you call your mother out, and I will know when I see you."

"Auntie, I told you that my mother is not here, so it's useless for you to ask again. May I ask your surname, when my mother comes back, I will ask my mother to find you." Dong Bao smiled.

The woman ignored Dong Bao, and stood in the room shaking her handkerchief and looked left and right, but she was wearing tight skinny clothes, she didn't look like a good woman at all, and all the peasant men in the room were squinting and secretly looking at her, which made her angry. She was very dissatisfied, and she couldn't see Mrs. Li, so she stomped her feet angrily, turned around and walked away with her waist twisted.

When the people left, Chunlei's wife came over and asked, "Girl, who is that girl? She looks like a rich wife!"

"Are you rich?" Dong Bao laughed, indeed at first glance it was quite bluffing, the clothes were of good material, but they looked like they had been worn for many years and hadn't been washed, besides, which noble lady wants to meet people is herself Baba ran over?Moreover, Dong Bao knows everyone Li Shi knows, and this woman is definitely not among Li Shi's acquaintances.

If it's someone who comes to give gifts...it's not like that, if you don't say anything with empty hands, your attitude is not the same.

When it was almost noon, the number of people in the store gradually decreased. Dongbao went to the kitchen and told Mrs. Li about it. Mrs. Li also felt strange, stood there thinking for a long time, then shook her head, "I don't know... How can I know anyone who can wear so much gold jewelry!"

"When we were girls, there were a few who were good at it..." Aunt Qiuxia smiled while kneading her face, "But I guess it's not them. My mother-in-law and my mother's family are all from poor villages. Who can afford to wear so many clothes?" Gold jewelry!"

"Leave her alone." Dong Bao said, tomorrow will be a good day for Mrs. Li, and she won't be able to care about an inexplicable woman. "If I really need you, I will definitely come again."

In the afternoon, Mrs. Li took Dong Bao to Mr. Yan's house, where Mr. Yan was helping the invited cook to build a mud stove together.When getting married in the country, they always entertain guests at their own home. There is a cook who prepares wedding banquets for people. Even the dishes and chopsticks can be provided, so there is no need for the host to worry about it.

Lord Yan's robe was rolled up and a corner was tucked into his belt, his sleeves were rolled up, and his hands were covered with wet yellow mud.When Mrs. Li and Dong Bao came in, Mr. Yan was squatting on the ground with his buttocks sticking out to paste mud on the already laid bricks, while Xiao Xu was watching intently beside him.

"Hey, it's coming?! It's almost ready." When Master Yan saw Li Shi, he stood up in embarrassment. face.

Dong Bao and Xiao Xu laughed in unison, Master Yan looked at his muddy hands, and smiled awkwardly.Mrs. Li glared at Dong Bao and Xiao Xu, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and stuffed it to Mr. Yan, she lowered her head to watch the cook prepare the wedding banquet, Mrs. Yan looked at the clean handkerchief in her hand, He curled his lips and smiled, wiping his face.

The stove for the wedding banquet was built in the northeast corner of the yard, and a big steamer taller than Dongbao was placed on the ground. The noodles for making steamed buns have already been cooked, and they are put in a big noodle jar, ready to send out overnight, tomorrow Steamed white flour buns.The pork used for the wedding banquet is cut from freshly slaughtered pigs and marinated with salt in a large wooden basin. The chicken and fish are also cleaned and placed in the basin for later use.

After the stove was built, the cook and a few helpers set up a large iron pan, poured oil on it, and started frying meatballs.The meatballs are pounded minced meat and noodles, and the aroma wafts far away.After the first pot of meatballs was fried, the cook took them out with a big iron spoon, and Mrs. Li went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks, took a large bowl, handed it to Dong Bao, and said with a smile, "Try it first, both of you. "

Dong Bao first took a ball and stuffed it into Xiao Xu's mouth, and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"

The meatball was still a bit hot to the mouth, Xiao Xu bit the meatball with his teeth, kept fanning the wind into his mouth, swallowed the meatball in a few bites, and said with a smile: "It's delicious!"

Dong Bao also put one in his mouth. The meatballs are quite elastic and fried enough, but they are a bit salty. They are probably used to make meatball soup.

Xiao Xu kept pinching the balls to eat, raised his head, his small mouth was full of oil, and asked with a smile: "Sister, will we live together in the future?"

Dong Bao pinched his ears, and said with a smile: "Yes, my room has been tidied up. Alright, don't eat, I'll let you eat it all by yourself, can you still have dinner tonight!" How could a child eat so many fried meatballs? It would be bad if he had a stomachache.

Xiaoxu reluctantly put down the ball that was still in his hand, wiped his mouth with his hand, looked at Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yan who were discussing tomorrow's marriage in the distance, and whispered to Dong Bao: "A classmate of mine said that if there is Stepmother will have a hard life, and if you have a stepfather, you will also have to live a hard life."

Dong Bao laughed and whispered, "Then you have a stepmother, and I have a stepfather. We both have to live a hard life, but what should we do?"

"Yes, what should I do?" Xiao Xu said with a smile, Aunt Li is a good person, so she won't let him live a hard life!
Dong Bao took out a handkerchief to wipe off the oil on Xiao Xu's mouth, hugged Xiao Xu's head into his arms, and said with a smile: "Then our poor siblings can only depend on each other!"

In the distance, Mrs. Li stood two feet away from Mr. Yan, lowered her head and blushed and asked, "Have you tried on Xiaoxu's clothes? Do they still fit? If they don't fit, I'll change them."

"Fit, children's clothes don't need to be so particular, if they are made bigger, they can be worn in two years." Lord Yan said.

Mrs. Li nodded, and asked again: "Tomorrow...are you ready?"

"Get ready, we don't have many people to invite, and there is nothing to prepare." Master Yan rubbed the mud on his hands, "You don't have to worry about anything, just wait for me to pick you up tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Shi nodded with a smile, with a blushing blushing on her face.

Master Yan looked at her with a slight smile, looked left and right, no one was paying attention here, the two children Dong Bao and Xiao Xu were eating meatballs around a bowl, and the helpers were busy with their own work, so they reached out and touched Li's cloth His blushing face was retracted as if he had been electrocuted, and his own face also turned red.

While Dongbao was eating meatballs, he accidentally raised his head and saw this scene. When he saw that the two people, who together were 60 years old, looked innocent and looked like middle school students, he almost burst out laughing at the meatballs in his mouth. Oh no, people Middle school students are no longer like this.

After a while, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yan finished talking, and came to lead Dong Bao back to Baoji shop.

Before going to bed at night, Li Hongqin took Li Shi to the yard and talked for a long time. Before Li Shi came back, Dong Bao fell asleep in a daze.Tomorrow is the day when Mrs. Li takes her to get married, and soon she will integrate into a new family. Dong Bao originally thought that he would be very excited, but he didn't expect that he would sleep until dawn.

When she woke up, Li Shi had already changed into her new pink dress. In addition to wearing gold earrings and golden hairpins, Li Shi had a red flower pinned to her smooth bun. Under the morning sun, Lin's face is extraordinarily shy and bright.

"Are you awake? Get up quickly." Li said with a smile, and handed the clothes on the bedside to Dong Bao.

Both Dong Bao and Xiao Xu's new clothes are bright red, while the official groom's clothes are blue, and the bride's clothes are pink. At first glance, the two children's clothes are more festive than the bride and groom.Dong Bao put on his clothes and went out. The shop and the courtyard had already posted big red happy characters. Zhang Xiuyu was holding a basket and filling the fruit plate with fried peanuts and melon seeds. When she saw Dong Bao, she couldn't help pinching Dong Bao's face and smiled. Said: "Just now I told my mother about you, it's really a big heart, today is such a big event, you can still sleep until this time!"
