Chapter 45 Aunt has a husband

"Sister, your rice rolls with spicy sauce are delicious and appetizing. They taste great!"

"That's right, I didn't feel like it was enough even if I ate two portions at once yesterday. Fortunately, the boss lady was very generous today and even gave me a bowl of white porridge. Now I feel strong enough to carry the goods!"

The two familiar men were laughing while eating, and the porridge was sizzling one after another.

Jiang Yan smiled and said: "Where do you guys work? Do you rest under this big tree every day?"

The fatter man said: "Just move the goods at the east gate. There are fewer trucks coming and going during this period. There is only work in the morning and noon. So after moving the goods every day, we have to move here."

Rest under the tree until noon so that you can continue working."

"Yes, if it weren't for my home being too far away, I wouldn't even be willing to spend money on meals in the town. Fortunately, my employer is kind and gave me more money for meals."

Jiang Yan kept smiling and greeted the customers who kept coming in, but she was wondering when she would go to the east gate.

The east gate is actually an open space, where many merchants and carriages stop, unload things or stop their carriages and horses. It is also a place with a large flow of people.

Most of the merchants who were tired from traveling would look for something to eat when they got off the bus. Jiang Yan thought about bringing cold tofu over to sell. Cold tofu is simple and has a cooling effect. Those merchants who have traveled hard on the road should like it very much.

The family was working together and working in an orderly manner, when suddenly a familiar bass sounded.

"Aunt Jiang, I finally waited until you set up a stall. I wanted to come over and have something to eat yesterday, but I never thought that you guys didn't come to set up a stall."

"That's right, my trip yesterday was in vain. Auntie has to come every day. Your rice rolls are so delicious!"

Jiang Yan looked up and saw that it was Shangguan Mingzhi and his silly son Shangguan Zixuan. They were dressed in fine clothes and sitting on the stall. They attracted the attention of passers-by on the road, which in turn made Jiang Yan's stall even more prosperous.

Jiang Yan asked Lin Xi to make two bowls of white porridge, and then ordered Lin Dong to make rice rolls. She smiled and said: "I thanked the shopkeeper Shangguan last time. I came here before I came to thank you. I don't have anything here, so I just want to treat you."

Let’s eat rice rolls and cold tofu with the young master.”

The boys from the Lin family quickly made the rice rolls. Lin Bei wiped the plate again and again, and only put the rice rolls on the plate after making sure it was clean. He knew that it was the distinguished guest in front of him who helped his mother find Xiao Wu, and he was very grateful. He just wanted to

Thank you very much.

"Then thank you Sister-in-law Jiang. You're welcome. I haven't done anything to help you."

Shangguan Mingzhi has a gentle smile, a mouthful of rice rolls and a mouthful of white porridge, and he looks like a scholar and gentleman.

The little fat man looked at Jiang Yan in surprise, and then at his father. Did he know that his aunt and father had known each other for a long time?

The fat face went from being confused to being unhappy to accepting it happily. He gritted his teeth and seemed to have done a lot of psychological construction before he said seriously: "I'm just telling you why you don't want to take a concubine or marry a wife!"

"So you like aunt like this! Forget it... Anyway, aunt is not bad looking, but she has many sons, is old, and is so poor... Hey, it's okay, aunt will make delicious food, don't talk about you

I like it, I like it too. As for my son, the more I have, the more I like it. Anyway... uh uh uh!"

Before the little fat man finished speaking, Shangguan Mingzhi stood up from the low stool like a carp, and tightly covered his silly son's big mouth that was talking nonsense. His old face turned red and white, then white and red again, and it took him a long time to say aggressively: "

You are full of lies! What the hell are you talking about! Neither Aunt Jiang nor I know each other!"

Seeing the surprised looks of the people around him looking back and forth at Jiang Yan and himself, Shangguan Mingzhi was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

He gave a forced smile: "Haha... You are a kid, you can't take what you say seriously! Don't worry about it, Aunt Jiang!"

Jiang Yan's face didn't change, and she calmly distributed rice rolls to other customers: "Shangguan shopkeeper doesn't need to explain, I already know that this kid got it wrong."

Your son's brain is lacking, I have already felt it.

As if Shangguan Zixuan didn't mind the matter, he opened his father's big hand and shouted: "How could it be! I can't be wrong! If you don't know me! Why does my father know that your name is Aunt Jiang?"

"Because I asked you before when you brought rice rolls home!"

"Then why do you keep concubines instead of wives?"

"I'm not trying to take care of you first!"

"Then I have grown up! You are so old. If you don't marry, will your body still be able to give birth to my younger brothers and sisters? I think Aunt Jiang is very good, she can cook, and she has so many sons. You

Marry her and you will have several sons at once! You don’t have to give birth to them yourself..."

The little fat man became more and more excited and happy as he talked. He looked at Jiang Yan and the young men of the Lin family with more and more eager eyes, as if these people were already his closest relatives.

Shangguan Mingzhi's face turned red. He was so angry at this stupid son that he slammed the table. Then he stood up, changed the table, and said to Jiang Yan, "I don't know this person! What he said is nonsense, Aunt Jiang."

Don’t pay attention to him either!”

…

Jiang Yan was speechless and choked.

She knocked the little fat man on the head: "Little Master, you'd better eat the rice rolls first. It won't taste good when it's cold. Don't blindly match up with mandarin ducks. I'm a peasant woman who has been married and given birth to children.

, your father is in his prime, he should find a well-matched family."

The little fat man nodded, as if he suddenly understood: "Yes! I forgot, aunt, you have a husband! Nao na na na!"

The fat little face looked reluctant, and he muttered the words "It's a pity" in his mouth.

The corner of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched, thinking that his father was her benefactor after all. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but give him a headache. She didn't bother to explain that she was a widow. Just misunderstood.

The onlookers watched the excitement and enjoyed their meal. This small episode actually attracted more business to Jiang Yan. The rice rolls that were supposed to be sold out at noon were also sold out in advance.

Instructing his sons to pack their things, he took Lin Bei and Lin Feng to go shopping, intending to get some cloth to make clothes for the children. When they were looking for Xiao Wu, the family went up and down the mountain to look for them, and the clothes were all scratched.

.

Last night, I saw two daughters-in-law mending clothes for the family. Most of the people in the village wore similar clothes. The better ones wore at most two unpatched linen clothes. The worse ones were patched one after another. Their family belonged to this.

Clothes with so many patches can hardly look like their original appearance.

"Mom, are we going to buy new clothes?"

Lin Bei pulled Jiang Yan, a little shy. Lin Feng beside him was even more nervous and speechless. He kept burying his little head and clutching Jiang Yan's hand tightly.

It was the first time for both of them to go shopping. Looking at the dazzling array of shops and stalls, they were both novel and excited.

Jiang Yan led the two of them and said softly: "Yes, my sisters-in-law can make clothes. Let's take back a few feet of coarse cloth and each of our family members will make a new suit."
