sweet wife little confused

Chapter 33
"It's still early, there's no hurry to go fishing, rest at home and then go." An Xiu'er asked to stay.

"It's okay, I'll go and come back early." Zhang Zhenan paused, but he didn't turn his head.

An Xiu'er watched him go away, she blamed herself a bit, she shouldn't have ordered him to chop firewood just now, she should have let him rest for a while.

Thinking of her husband's hard work, she felt ashamed to be lazy any longer, went back to the house and took out her needle and thread, and sat at the door of the room to embroider flowers again.

Now she embroiders during the day and ties at night. Embroidery is a delicate job, and she is very familiar with lacing. Even if the light is dim, she can still do it very well.

The next day, it was time to go to the market again. Both husband and wife got up very early. An Xiu'er combed her hair carefully, and picked up a set of better clothes for herself to put on. This is how the countryside is like this. It doesn't matter what you wear, when you go out, you should always dress decently.

This was the first time since she and Zhang Zhenan went to the town together, she was quite looking forward to it, and this time she didn't have to walk, she could take Zhang Zhenan's boat.

Stepped on the basket and prepared the things properly, Zhang Zhenan also put the fish caught during this period into the basket.

He has been very hardworking these past few days. Every time he goes to the market on weekdays, he has less than half of the basket of fish, but this time it is more than half, which can be regarded as a good harvest.

After moving the fish to the boat, An Xiu'er was also able to get on the boat. To be honest, she didn't take Zhang Zhenan's boat many times, and this was the second time. She was basically at home on weekdays, and rarely visited him. Coming from the boat, he thought his boat was clean the last time he came, but this time he smelled a fishy smell, but it was very faint and not unpleasant.

Zhang Zhenan put the fish basket into the fishing net and hung it on the stern of the boat, so that the fish would not be afraid that they would die along the way when they entered the water.

"Are you seated yet?" Zhang Zhenan picked up the anchor and planned to sail.

An Xiu'er nodded, but saw a woman from the village running towards this side, seeing Zhang Zhen'an about to sail, she quickly shouted: "Hey, blind Zhang, wait a minute, I'm going to town too."

Zhang Zhenan looked up at the woman on the shore. She was wearing a dress with big flowers, and she was plump and fat. She had bought fish at home before, but it was the first time that she wanted to take another boat.

"My ship doesn't carry passengers." Zhang Zhenan frowned slightly, not wanting her to board the ship.

"Hey, Blind Zhang, you're going to the town anyway, why don't you give me a ride along the way." The woman was about to step on Zhang Zhen'an's boat as she spoke.

Zhang Zhen'an frowned slightly, he was not able to tolerate everyone with a good temper, but when he saw An Xiu'er coming out of the cabin, thinking that she was a girl from this village, he stepped back and didn't care about it.

Just now in the cabin, An Xiu'er heard this woman's voice. She is a well-known woman in the village. Because of her broken mouth, she likes to take advantage of petty advantages. The villagers call her the trumpet. She wants to take her own boat, but she still speaks rudely to Zhang Zhen'an , this made An Xiuer very upset, at this moment she had a smile on her face, and said: "Aunt Laba, if you want to drop by, you can do it. Others charge two pennies, and I'll just charge one penny."

When the trumpet aunt heard An Xiuer say this, she frowned, and said shamelessly: "Xiuer, these are all from the folks in the village, why don't you talk about money or not?"

"Brother still knows how to settle accounts. We rely on this boat for a living. If we don't charge some money, how can we support our family?" An Xiu'er smiled coldly, "I think you understand this truth, Aunt Trumpet ,right?"

Aunt La Ba's face darkened completely, and she said in a contemptuous tone: "An Xiu'er, people used to say that you are so generous and kind, but I think you are nothing more than that."

An Xiu'er knew that Aunt La Ba was getting angry from embarrassment, and she didn't fall for her tricks, so she just said: "Auntie, you know that's just hearsay, since now that Auntie knows my true nature, if you want to take a boat, you can take money, if you don't have money , just walk obediently."

"Hmph, I don't want to take your boat even if I have money. Who do you think would take your boat? It smells like fish!" Aunt Trumpa snorted coldly, turned and left.

"Tch, some people say that the grapes are sour even if they can't eat them!" An Xiu'er also snorted coldly, turned and returned to the boat.

Zhang Zhen'an sailed the boat silently, and after waiting a while against the current, he entered the cabin and asked, "What's the matter, are you unhappy because of that woman just now?"

"No." An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "Go and sail the boat, it will be bad if you hit the shore later."

"Understood." Zhang Zhen'an nodded, and went out to steer the helm. He also saw that An Xiu'er was in a bad mood just now, so he wanted to come in to comfort her, since she didn't say anything.

An Xiu'er was not angry at all because of this, if the auntie Trump hadn't called Zhang Zhen'an indiscriminately just now, she might have let her sit on it, but An Xiu'er didn't like her being so arrogant.

No one in Aunt La Ba's village dare to provoke her because she has a bad mouth, and likes to spread bad things about others and arrange others indiscriminately, so everyone usually let her go, but An Xiu'er is not afraid, she can say whatever she wants It doesn't matter if you say she is stingy, anyway, she closes the door and lives her own life, it doesn't matter what others say.

The journey was peaceful, the mountains and rivers were long, and the breeze was blowing. An Xiu'er quickly forgot about that little bit of unpleasantness. When they reached the shore, Zhang Zhen'an parked the boat, and the two of them went ashore with their good things.

"Are you going to the restaurant to sell fish?" An Xiuer asked.

"En." Zhang Zhenan nodded.

An Xiu'er said: "Then you go sell fish, I'll find a place to sell my stuff?"

"Are you alone?" Zhang Zhenan was a little worried.

"It's okay. It's not like I haven't been to this town before. Just come to me sooner after you sell the fish." An Xiu'er said, waving at him, and said, "I'm going to occupy a place first, and I'll wait until next night." I can't find the ground again."

"That's fine." Hearing what An Xiu'er said, Zhang Zhen'an also agreed, thinking that he would have sold the fish to find her earlier and it would not be a problem.

An Xiu'er waved to him, and the two of them went in different directions. Today she came by boat, so the speed is considered fast, but even so, when they came to the street, there were still quite a few little people Vendors have already started setting up their stalls.

An Xiu'er found a place in the middle, put her things down, took out a piece of cloth, spread out a space, and laid out the contents of her basket neatly. It looks a lot better.

What's more, she hasn't been to the market for a long time. During this time, she has saved a lot of things. In addition to handkerchiefs and other things, there are also various things woven with silk threads, such as small fish, small butterflies, ingots, As for the little things inside the golden lock, An Xiuer ingeniously hung tassels on the bottom and put them out, the colorful ones are very attractive.

There are not many pedestrians in the market now, and some small vendors around are chattering. There is an old lady selling insoles next to An Xiuer. She was amazed at the things on An Xiuer's stall, and said: " Girl, did you make all these things yourself?"

"En." An Xiu'er smiled at the old aunt, and nodded shyly.

"Miss, your hands are really skillful." The old aunt saw those little things on An Xiu'er's booth, each one was exquisite and small, which was quite rare.

"What is this? Auntie, you are amazing. The insoles are sewn with dense stitches. I think your business will be very good after a while." An Xiu'er also replied.

After being praised by An Xiuer, the old aunt couldn't close her mouth, but she still waved her hands and said modestly: "What am I? Everyone can make these insoles. I'm just poor and have nothing to do. Just make a few pairs of insoles and subsidize the family.”

"Although everyone can make insoles, there are some good ones and bad ones. Like me, I can't do it as well as you do." An Xiu'er said.

The insoles made by this old lady are indeed very good. Not to mention the dense stitches on the edges, and the middle is reinforced with stitches, which looks very durable.

Moreover, she also sells many styles of insoles, with different colors, different fabrics, different patterns, all kinds of sizes, it is definitely not just idle as she said, she It should be a craftsman who specializes in selling insoles.

But people nowadays are modest, An Xiu'er didn't expose her, just chatted with her, and was about to take out the silk thread to weave some small things, the aunt who sold shoes next door chatted with her again.

The aunt who sells shoes has a round face and looks about forty years old. She is dressed plain and neatly and looks very kind. An Xiu'er also chatted with her a few more words. Put your eyes on her booth.

There were many embroidered shoes worn by girls on her booth, and the pairs were extremely delicate. An Xiu'er even looked a little shy when she saw it. shoes.

She felt that it was not impossible for her to make these shoes, but it was time-consuming, labor-intensive and material-consuming. She was a little reluctant. Anyway, she was at home, and she had to go to the field from time to time. It was a waste to wear such good shoes to work.

Thinking of this, An Xiu'er's expression calmed down. While chatting with the woman, she continued to look at the things on the woman's stall. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand and put the woman on the stall A pair of shoes shoes brought over.

These are a pair of tiger-toed shoes, small shoes with a tiger's head on the top, and even the body of the shoes is covered with tiger stripes, very cute.

"Why, girl, have you taken a fancy to these shoes?" The woman turned her head and said something to her.

"These shoes are so cute." An Xiu'er replied, and put the shoes back in their original place, saying, "Auntie, your hands are really ingenious. If there are children in my family, I will definitely buy them."
