Chapter 497
: Dog eyes look down on people
After finishing the wontons, Si Zhengping asked Si Qing to wait at the stall for a while while he went to store the ox cart.
Si Qing nodded in agreement.
After Si Zhengping left, Si Qing chatted with the old man making wontons.
Ask him if he hasn't been out for a while.
After hearing this, the old man sighed, with a hint of melancholy on his face: "Yes, my old lady is sick, and I have been taking care of her for the past few days."
"So is she feeling better now?" Si Qing asked.
The old man shook his head, his eyes slightly red: "She went to reunite with the children."
Si Qing heard that there was something in his words, and saw that he looked sad, so he guessed that his old wife had passed away, but why did he say she was reunited with her children?
Is it possible that the old man’s children have also passed away?
Si Qing couldn't help but ask more. The old man glanced at Si Qing in surprise: "You little girl is quite smart."
In the past, when he and others answered like this, no one understood what he meant. On the contrary, this little girl actually heard it.
The old man looked at Si Qing carefully and suddenly remembered that he had met her before: "Are you the young but senior aunt from before?"
Si Qing nodded and said in a sweet voice, "Yes."
The old man chuckled, and his slightly sad expression was slightly diluted.
The two chatted for a few more words, and it wasn't until Si Zhengping came back that Si Qing stood up and left, waving goodbye to the old man before leaving.
The old man looked at Si Qing with a smile. Looking at her retreating figure, his eyes became sour again for some reason.
"If my granddaughter had been rescued at that time, she would have been as old as her, right?"
The old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, lowered his head and continued to wrap the wontons.
Si Qing and Si Zhengping went to South Street together. It is said that there is a carpenter's shop on South Street that is quite famous in Yang County, called "Mengji Carpenter". The furniture made by this shop is very exquisite.
Si Qing has money in his hands, so he will not treat himself badly. Of course, the soft bed must be good.
So two people, one large and one small, went to South Street and went straight to the "Meng Ji Carpenter" shop.
Perhaps because of its great reputation and good business, this carpenter's shop is very easy to find. As soon as you enter South Street and go 500 meters, you will see the "Mengji Carpenter" shop.
The facade of this shop is very exquisite. Compared with several ordinary carpenter shops nearby, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground.
When a person visits these carpentry shops, he will subconsciously feel that the craftsmanship of "Meng Ji" must be the best.
Si Qing and Si Zhengping are naturally no exception.
The two of them entered "Meng Ji Carpenter" almost without stopping.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see several pieces of furniture placed in the shop. They are all made of fine mahogany, with very exquisite styles and exquisite patterns. You will fall in love with them at first sight.
However, there are no furniture such as soft couches inside. Most of them are light and common things such as Taishi chairs and wooden boxes.
Si Zhengping then stepped forward and asked the clerk in the shop: "Brother, does your shop have soft couches?"
The clerk was busy wiping the exquisite box in his hand. When he heard the question, he raised his head and glanced at Si Zhengping.
With just one glance, disdain instantly appeared on his face.
"Go, go, go, we only have expensive furniture here, can you, a country bumpkin, afford it? Do you know what a soft couch is? Just come up and ask? If you want to buy furniture, go somewhere else, don't lower the quality of our home.
!”
"Why do you speak so meanly? You are just a waiter, why are you driving away customers?"
Si Zhengping's face turned livid with anger. He knew that in this world, many merchants like to praise others and look down on ordinary farmers.
