farmhouse ditty

Chapter 180
Wang Er took down the wooden boards from the shop window one by one and put them inside the house. He looked outside after it had just rained.

He took a deep breath, went outside to take a look, stretched his waist, and shook his hands comfortably, "Oh-hey, it's finally cleared up today, it's been raining these two days, I'm in the house Everyone stays stupid."

The guy on the cabinet propped up the wooden boards in front of the shop, saw Wang Er standing outside, and said with a smile, "Hey, Wang Er, why did you come to the front desk today instead of making boards in the backyard?"

Wang Er looked back at him, smiled, and said, "Brother, you don't know about me. As long as it's raining, my legs won't work. No, tell the shopkeeper, and three I changed it, and I went to the cabinet to say hello for two days."

The guy took a look at his leg and shook his head, "Hey, your leg is also the root of the old disease that fell in the early years."

Wang Er smiled, walked over and said, "Yes, if the shopkeeper hadn't taken me to the shop to do some light woodwork, I'm the only one who can carry sacks in the rice noodle warehouse. People want it."

The guy just smiled when he heard what Wang Er said. Everyone is a hard-working person, so there is no need to say anything.

They chattered for a while, tidied up the pavement, and waited for the backyard to send out the dozen or so boards left earlier, and then they moved to place them on the counter.

The guy opened the wooden cabinet and said casually, "Hey, Wang Er, you used to be like Guixi, you used to go out to sell goods, tell me, how big is Honghe Town?"

Wang Er put a board away and looked at him, "What's wrong, why are you asking this?"

"Hey, that's not it. Old Li and Zhao, who came to our shop earlier, are from Honghe Town. Every time they ask for boards, they always ask for one or two hundred."

The guy said with a chuckle, "I just wonder how big Honghe Town is if those two people need so many boards."

Wang Er thought for a while, pursed his lips, and said, "Well, I've been to Honghe Town, and it's quite big."

The guy asked, "Hey, Wang Er, tell me, how big is Honghe Town?"

Wang Er looked at him, and frowned in embarrassment, "I said, brother, if you ask me how big this pumpkin is, then I can draw it for you, but this Honghe Town... Oh, yes, this Honghe Town Ah, it's four or five miles bigger than our town."

The guy was taken aback when he heard this, "Mother, it's so big, if you walk in it, you won't get lost."

Wang Er cursed with a smile, went outside with three boards in his arms, and placed them on the counter in front of the shop window.

"Fuck you, I'm not a baby boy, why would I get lost... Besides, Honghe Town isn't that big anymore, you remember that short and fat shopkeeper Chen?"

The guy thought about it for a while, then nodded, "Oh, it's the really solid one, I know that, he's our regular customer, and he has a lot of pullers..."

Wang Er went on to say, "Well, that's the guy. He does business in the city. The land is only as big as two Honghe towns."

The guy opened his eyes wide, came to the counter, looked at Wang Er outside, "Really, there is still such a big boundary!"

Wang Er twitched the corner of his mouth and swept his head, "Brother, Gai Minger, you really should go out for a run, look outside..."

"Hey, isn't that... Wang Er, look, isn't that Old Zhao?" The guy interrupted Wang Er when he saw a familiar figure appearing on the street ahead.

Hearing this, Wang Er turned around and looked over, he also saw the image, and took a few steps forward, intending to take a closer look.

"Old Zhao? Where is it..."

The guy also went out, craned his neck to watch, but at this time the guy had gone far away, he touched Wang Er, "Hey, is it Lao Zhao, did you come over to us?"

Wang Er kept looking ahead, "It seems to me that it is Old Zhao. He went to the back alley, but why did he bring two buddies with him?"

The guy glanced at him, and said disapprovingly, "He's a shopkeeper, what's wrong with bringing two guys out here?"

Wang Er waved his hand and said to him, "Hey, I didn't mean that. I just looked at those two guys, so they look familiar. I seem to see you in our back street..."

The guy frowned, and said, "Eh? Old Zhao is back in town, why don't you come to our shop? Last time he said, let's prepare a batch of boards."

Wang Er was interrupted by this guy, and he couldn't remember where the two guys were. He saw people coming to the shop, so he grabbed the guy, "Forget it, let's go back, maybe this old Zhao , it will come tomorrow..."

The guy pursed his lips, glanced ahead, turned around and went back to the shop with Wang Er...

A carriage passed through Xiayang Village and came to the slope at the east end of the village. Mrs. Liu was holding a bamboo basket and was about to feed the chickens in Xiuniang's yard. When she saw the carriage from a distance, she stood Go aside and give way.

But as soon as she got to the gate of Chu Ge's house, the carriage stopped, making her unable to get out or get in. After waiting for a while, she became angry and kicked the wheel of the carriage , "Hey, are you going or not!"

The coachman flicked his whip lightly, and the carriage moved forward for a short distance. Mrs. Liu snorted as she watched it, and pulled out the key on her belt to open the door.

"Sister-in-law Liu, it just rained a while ago, why are you so angry?"

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she paused, and looked over, only to see a pretty young daughter-in-law in her twenties getting out of the car, smiling at herself, showing her two dimples, she was very pretty.

She looked at it and blinked, and said to the little daughter-in-law, "Oh my mother, where did you get here?"

Xiu Niang looked at Mrs. Liu and smiled, "Sister-in-law Liu, what are you talking about? Of course I came from the town."

Mrs. Liu was also happy to see Xiu Niang. She held the bamboo basket, patted her with a small smile, opened the door of the yard, and wanted to let Xiu Niang come in, but she suddenly realized that this was someone else's house. , she changed her words again in a hurry.

"Hey, you girl, come on, girl, come in... Hey, girl, you'd better go to my room, you don't even have to drink your saliva, I'll just feed the chicken and go over there, your sixth brother It’s in the yard, just go in and it’s done.”

Xiu Niang responded with a smile, walked over, and first told Mu Zi on the carriage, and asked him to retreat the carriage to the wooden shed in front of Liu's gate, and she would come out later.

Muzi gave a "hey", got out of the car and pulled the reins, glanced ahead, pulled the horse and passed.

The gate of Liu's courtyard was open, and Xiu Niang stood and looked inside, and called out "Brother Six", Ji Lao Liu was repairing a hoe in the yard at the moment, he raised his leg to see Xiu Niang, and said with a smile let her in.

"Hey, sister, you're here, come, come, sit in the yard..." He said as he went to the main room and took out a chair.

Xiu Niang was not polite either, she went into the yard and chatted with Ji Lao Liu with a smile, and Liu Shi leaned against the wall to talk to the neighbor next door, and came over after a while.

Mrs. Liu took off her apron, straightened her clothes, and sat next to Xiuniang. Ji Laoliu looked at it, and went to the main room talking. After taking two fruits, she went out to chat with Muzi. Nagging, he is a big man, so he won't join in.

Mrs. Liu glanced at Ji Laoliu, and said to Xiuniang, "This old man can't stay idle, he's gone to chat with your buddy... Hey, sister, why are you here today, the shop is not busy Is it?"

Xiu Niang smiled and said, "I'm not too busy, it just rained two days ago, the road outside the town is not easy to walk, and those bulk buyers from other villages have to wait for two days to come here, so I will take advantage of it." With this space in mind, go back to the village."

Xiu Niang smiled, "Last time I left in a hurry, I didn't bring a lot of clothes, I came here today, one is to see you and Sixth Brother, and the other is to go home and get some long-sleeved clothes."

"Yo Yo Yo, that's nice to say, you still come to see me... Hey, sister, to be honest, what are you doing here today?"

"Sister-in-law Six, you still don't believe me when I say I came to see you and brother Six?"

"That's enough, sister, stop arguing with your sister-in-law six, sister-in-law six knows you, and your business is so good, why can't you go to the town to buy it, why do you go to the village to get some old clothes?"

Xiu Niang looked at Mrs. Liu and smiled, "Sister-in-law Liu, you are pretty good enough. In fact, I came back this time to see you and Brother Six..."

Mrs. Liu said "hmm" twice, and waited for her to continue, "I knew you, woman..."

Xiu Niang stopped joking, she looked at Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law Liu, I just came to ask, what happened to the thing I told you last time?"

Mrs. Liu said "Hi", and said heartily, "Hi, I thought it was something, sister, my brother's matter is easy to talk about, you don't need to ask, I will answer for him."

Xiu Niang listened and smiled, "Well, Sixth Sister-in-Law, this matter is settled, and I will send the money tomorrow, and you will give it to Second Brother Liu."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand with a smile, "Hey, let's talk about it after we're done. If you give up the woodland to my brother, he has to think about it..."

Xiuniang interrupted Mrs. Liu and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, I can't talk about this anymore. Didn't I sincerely want that piece of woodland at the beginning? Let's talk about that large piece of woodland. If Chu Ge and I It’s really sold out, and I really don’t know what to do with it.”

Mrs. Liu knew that Xiuniang said this to reassure her, so she didn't say much.

"Then sister, I won't say thank you...Hey, sister, why don't you go back today, and ask your buddy to talk to Chu Ge, so we sisters can have a good chat all night, How are you doing?"

Xiu Niang was a little embarrassed when she heard that, the rain stopped, and the business would be better. If she was in Xiayang Village, would Chu Ge be able to come here alone?

"Sister-in-law Liu, Chu Ge is the only one in the shop..."

"Hey, sister, if you stay in the village for half a day, what can you do? Hehehe, let's do it. I'll let that little guy go back and tell Chu Ge that you asked me to stay... ..."

As soon as Liu waved her hand, she walked towards Muzi with a smile.
