Chapter 20: Human or Ghost
Qi Lele wanted to tell Qi Da and Chen to leave first.
But Chen said, "Let's go, let's go back."
Qi Lele glanced at the remaining fish. Aren't there still six or seven fish that haven't been sold out?
Mrs. Chen was so disturbed by the gossip that she still had the thought to sell the fish: "I won't sell it anymore! I'll go back and cook the fish at night!"
After saying that, he saw Xie Zian and the others were there, and squeezed out a smile: "You guys should also stay for a casual meal tonight."
Xie Zian said: "Isn't this inconvenient?"
"What's the inconvenience? That's settled!"
Xie Zian was still about to refuse, but Xie Ziwen poked his head from behind him: "It's still early now, why don't we go pick some ground mushrooms and add some vegetables?"
Xie Ziyan nodded and said seriously: "The mushrooms need to be fried with meat to taste. Brother, let's buy some meat first. We can't be empty-handed when visiting, right?"
"Yes, yes! Second brother is right!"
Mrs. Chen really laughed at this moment, and these children were actually teasing: "Okay, okay, pick mushrooms, my aunt will cook them for you! You don't need to buy the meat, my aunt has it at home!"
Xie Zian showed a helpless smile: "Then I'll bother Auntie."
"Why are you so polite to Auntie!"
Qi Lele took the opportunity and said: "How about buying two more pieces of tofu? I want to eat tofu and fish soup."
"purchase!"
Speaking of food, everyone was obviously energetic. Qi Da went to find Xiao Jin and his brothers, Chen went to buy tofu, and Xie Zian went to buy two large pieces of meat.
Not long after, the two families left the gathering under the complicated and fearful eyes of everyone.
…
"Why do you think Mrs. Chen has such a generous heart? She can actually smile at Si Ya."
"I remember that Mrs. Chen has not been kind to Siya in the past two years. She even cursed her when asked about her at the last gathering!"
"It's not just bad! Si Ya has been sleeping in the woodshed for more than half a year!"
"Then why did you suddenly change your gender?"
"No, Mrs. Chen spent 650 cash to buy a piece of bright red material when she came here today, just to make Si Ya's wedding dress! She didn't even blink when she bought it!"
"Good boy! 650 Wen? This Chen is probably possessed by evil spirits, right?"
"It's hard to tell. I heard that some evil spirits are very clever! They can charm people's hearts!"
"Oh my God! This is too scary!"
"..."
Liu's eggs were not sold out and he did not go with Qi Da and the others. At this moment, listening to everyone's words, his heart was beating.
My younger siblings have been really harsh on Si Ya in the past two years, so why did they suddenly get better? Si Ya is indeed a little different from before, and it seems reasonable to say that she has changed the core!
When there was no one around, she couldn't help but come up to Qi Zhuang and ask in a low voice: "What do you think is going on with my brothers and sisters? Si Ya..."
Qi Zhuang came here today with the intention of finding a good craftsman and carpenter at the party so that he could tidy up the rooms in his house later. In the end, he found the person, but when he heard that Qi and everyone else was going to do the renovations together, he immediately waved his hands and refused.
Dry!
After asking several houses, it was like this, and Qi Zhuang was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Now I heard that my daughter-in-law was also talking nonsense, and I couldn't help but get angry: "If your daughter can also have so many betrothal gifts, why would you still be reluctant to part with a wedding dress?"
Mrs. Liu slapped her thigh, how could she have forgotten it! The Xie family gave me a full 30 taels of real money as a bride price! This does not include other betrothal gifts!
"Leave after the eggs are sold out. What are you talking about with those people?"
Mrs. Liu realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly ran to catch up with Qi Zhuang with the basket in hand: "I didn't just listen to what they said, I have a nose and an eye. I also have a little drum in my heart."
"What kind of drum are you playing? Outsiders can't tell the difference between a human and a ghost. How can they not tell the difference after watching her grow up?" Qi Zhuang said angrily: "If it was really an evil ghost, it would have been so many days.
, Aren’t those people who are gossiping have their hearts ripped out long ago?”
When Qi Zhuang said this, Mrs. Liu became clear-headed: "I know, I won't believe what others say in the future!"
Qi Zhuang couldn't help but sigh, what the hell is this!
…
The two families were walking on the road, but the atmosphere was far from what it was before. Qi Xiaocai was leading the carriage and was walking at the front. Mrs. Zhao sat next to Mrs. Chen and lowered her head in silence. From time to time, her eyes secretly glanced at Qi Lele, but she didn't say anything.
Dare to look at it openly!
Qi Xiaojin and Qi Xiaoyin were still by Xie Zian's side, but they were not as warm as before.
Obviously, the rumors that spread at the rally put a thorn in everyone's heart.
The atmosphere was tense when Mrs. Chen suddenly spoke: "Speaking of mushrooms, I remembered that one year, Si Ya suddenly wanted to eat them and insisted that I get them for her. But it was already the twelfth lunar month of winter, where could I give them to her?
Take it off?"
Qi Lele smiled and said, "Didn't Mom copy a plate for me in the end?"
"Thanks to your aunt's diligence, she dried it and kept some." Mrs. Chen said, "That's it. After it's fried, she still makes trouble with me!"
Xie Zian listened with great interest and asked, "What's the fuss about?"
Qi Xiaojin took over the conversation: "I hate my mother for not using bacon to stir-fry her. She said the vegetarian version is not delicious."
Listening to Xie Zian's chuckle, Qi Lele couldn't help but pick her palms. Although she was not talking about her, she still subconsciously wanted to respect her: "I was only six years old at that time, still young and ignorant."
"Well, I'm still young."
Can you put away the smile in your eyes and say this again?
Qi Lele turned her head away from him, but her ears gradually turned red.
Qi Xiaocai happened to turn around and saw this scene, his eyes gloomy.
Mrs. Chen seemed to have opened up her chat box, and by telling Xie Zian about it, she recounted all the old stories.
There are many children in the family, and there are always all kinds of funny things that are ridiculous. We talk and laugh, and the journey goes by like this.
When she returned to Shangxi Village, Mrs. Chen jumped out of the carriage and thought that those people were really idle and talking nonsense!
I remember everything so clearly from childhood to adulthood. How could Siya be possessed by an evil spirit?
If Si Ya like this was really an evil spirit, she would admit it!
…
Vegetables are everywhere, on the fields, on the banks, and under the shade of the trees at the foot of the mountain.
Qi Lele and the others went to the back mountain, and from a distance they could see the wild grass at the foot of the mountain swaying in the wind, full of vitality.
Ground mushrooms grow close to the ground, so you have to pull away the weeds to find them.
A small cluster is like a dark green flower. If you touch it with your hand, it will be as soft as a bag of water. When you pull it up gently, it will grow into a long piece.
Qi Lele used to go to the wild with her grandmother to pick vegetables. The ground vegetables are a popular dish in her grandmother's small restaurant every spring and autumn.
In addition to the mushrooms, around the Qingming Festival, there are also diced diced, Chinese toon, shepherd's purse, cress, Yu Qianer, etc., which are all completely different delicacies from garden vegetables!
In addition to these, there is also Ai Ci, a small green ball, sweet and glutinous, so delicious!
After a while, the Dragon Boat Festival came, and there was a new round of delicious food.
No, stop it!
"This mushroom is quite plump."
Qi Lele turned around and saw Xie Zian squatting not far away, looking seriously at the mushroom she held in her hand. She silently put the mushroom into the small basket: "I think it's quite big, so
I can’t help but take a second look.”
Xie Zian didn't expose it, just looked at her and smiled.
Qi Lele was the first to be defeated: "I was just in a daze for a while."
"Because of being slandered?"
"That's not true. I don't have time to think about them."
"Then what were you thinking about?"
Xie Zian was not considerate at all today. Qi Lele glanced at him: "I said I was thinking about all kinds of delicious food. Do you believe it?"
As expected, Xie Zian showed that beautiful smile again: "Believe it, I naturally believe what you said."
Qi Lele turned his head and continued to pull at the grass.
"You really don't care."
"What do you care about?" Qi Lele paused and said, "I used to care too much, so I couldn't think about it."
"You don't have to pay attention to the nonsense talk of irrelevant people."
Qi Lele nodded and asked, "Are you afraid?"
"What am I afraid of?"
"I'm afraid I'm possessed by an evil spirit. Isn't everyone spreading the word?"
"I thought you really didn't care." The smile on Xie Zian's lips became deeper and deeper: "If an evil ghost is like you, why does it matter if I marry him?"
