Chapter 10 Old Wang
People are in high spirits when happy events happen. In the past few days, Xinlan's joy was not expressed in words, but it was all over the face. Although Lu Dong and Liu Qin had just started dating, and he had never seen the girl's face, she still brought happiness to the family.
Quite a festive atmosphere.
The letter to her parents was written yesterday afternoon. In the letter, in addition to greeting her parents about their home situation, Xinlan specially introduced Lu Dong's work to her parents. The letter was put in Xinlan's pocket, waiting for the postman to come.
Wang came. Lao Wang came here every day at 10 o'clock in the morning, less than three to five minutes from left to right, almost unstoppable. Even if there were exceptions, it was accidental. People either heard the sound of the big motorcycle assigned to Lao Wang by the government, or heard the noise from the east.
When Lai Hai's dog rushes out of the yard and chases the barking of the motorcycle, it means that Lao Wang has arrived. Lao Wang and the dog have a tacit understanding. When they get here every day, Lao Wang will deliberately hit the accelerator a few times, and the dog will
Then he rushed out of the yard and followed Lao Wang's motorcycle, barking and chasing him away. Lao Wang used the specially equipped boots to kick as he walked. But when there was a message to be picked up here and the motorcycle stopped, the dog also lay down obediently.
Stand aside and wait for the motorcycle to start before chasing after it. For this reason, Lao Wang often calls Lai Hai's dog "old man". Lai Hai's house is in the middle of the cross street, north of East-West Road, directly opposite the square of the well. Naturally, people pick up and deliver letters.
So I came here and waited. If there was no letter, Lao Wang teasing the dog became a fun thing to talk and laugh about.
Xinlan was thinking about delivering the letter today, and was afraid that she would miss the time, so she walked out of the house early with the letter in her arms and the insoles she pressed, and came to the square to wait.
The sun is not poisonous. If the wind blows occasionally, the graceful shadows hanging from the curved willows will dance with the wind. There are not many people in the square. There are only a group of people playing cards sitting next to Qingjun's stall. Erkui and others
Dad Li was in the mood for playing, and there were a lot of candies piled on the table in front of him. Er Kuiniang was holding the shoe soles in her hands, but she couldn't care less about holding them down and directing them there. Xinlan didn't want to join in the fun in front of the card booth.
, he went over and pulled up a small chair and said to Er Kuiniang: "Auntie, let's go and sit over there and talk. This is a men's nest. Why are you joining in the fun here?"
Er Kuiniang loves to be lively. No one in the village knows much about big things or small things. As long as she sits in a crowd, she will shake off her mouth and speak eloquently. In addition, she has a loud voice, so she got the nickname "Bullspeaker".
.There were few people in the square today, most of them were men. Moreover, sitting next to Er Kui's father, he felt a little restrained. Now he heard Xinlan shouting, picked up a stool and followed him. The two found a place under the shade of a willow.
Before she could sit still, Er Kuiniang said, "Sister-in-law, Lu Dong has a date, shouldn't it be time for you to treat me?"
When Xinlan heard this, she was puzzled as to why this matter spread so quickly. Before she even saw the girl, others already knew that Lu Dongchu was dating her. So she asked Erkuiniang, "His aunt, who did you listen to?"
Is Lu Dongchu dating someone?"
Er Kuiniang said: "It goes without saying that without me asking, the 4 or 5-year-old kid at the door knows who Lu Dong is dating, and you can still hide it!"
Xin Lan said: "His aunt, it depends on what you said. This is not a secret. I haven't seen what the girl looks like until now. You already know that Lu Dongchu is dating. This is too fast!"
Er Kuiniang said: "Don't pretend! Xinlan. Yesterday afternoon Lu Dong came back from the west by bicycle. Some children at the door were yelling at him. You will know after listening to them."
When Xinlan heard what Er Kuiniang said, she stopped what she was doing, put her head closer and asked, "What are you shouting for?"
"Listen, ah! Let's see if it's about Lu Dong." As she spoke, Er Kuiniang put down her work, raised her hands to her chest, and continued speaking word by word in a controlled rhythm: "Yellow jersey, big collar."
, there is a group of people waiting by the kiln." After saying that, he looked at Xinlan and asked: "Listen to the children's jingle, is it about Lu Dong, right? I'm not talking nonsense!"
"I don't know whether you are talking about it or not. I really haven't seen what the girl looks like. Besides, I haven't even revealed my horoscope yet. How do you ask me to treat you? If it happens, I will definitely treat you! Zhongbu
?" Xinlan knew she was talking about Lu Dong, but was worried that she would publicize it everywhere, so she deliberately downplayed it.
"It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not, but it's a good thing and it's really successful. If it's not a good thing, it's on your mind. Isn't it?" Er Kuiniang said.
"Of course it is, I'd rather not." Xinlan continued.
The two of them were talking and doing their work slowly while Xinlan listened quietly from time to time to see if there was any sound of a motorcycle in the distance, lest Lao Wang rush over quickly. Er Kui Niang saw Xinlan's state of mind and said,
Asked: "What are you listening to? What's the matter?"
Xin Lan said: "I am writing a letter to my parents because I am afraid that the letter will not be delivered."
Er Kuiniang said: "Good morning, don't worry, I'll listen to you too." After saying that, she asked as if she suddenly remembered something: "I guess you wrote a letter specifically to tell your parents that Lu Dong is looking for a partner?
"
Xinlan couldn't help but admire Er Kuiniang's sense of smell. She completely believed that Er Kuiniang's nickname of Rouxiao was not for nothing. But because she had an appointment with Guizhi and didn't want to make it public, she had to say perfunctorily: "No, it's just the Chinese New Year.
I haven't written a letter yet, but I want to ask about my family situation."
When Er Kuiniang heard what Xinlan said, she said, "I thought she was telling them about Lu Dong's marriage. In fact, if Lu Dong's marriage was going to work out, she would have met in person earlier and had the marriage done. Otherwise, young people now,
You couldn't control it, so you installed the kiln on impulse. When the bricks were cooked, you didn't prepare anything, and you were caught off guard. Isn't it?"
When Xinlan heard that Er Kuiniang spoke so vulgarly, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Let's see how you say it as an aunt!"
While the two were talking, the faint roar of a motorcycle could be heard in the distance. After a sound of gas pedal, Lai Hai's dog had already rushed out barking. Seeing that Lao Wang was about to pass, Xinlan hurriedly held up the letter and shouted:
"Old Wang, deliver the message."
Lao Wang braked to a steady stop and took off his helmet. People on the side gathered around to watch the excitement. Lao Wang took the letter handed over by Xin Lan, checked it, and saw that it had been stamped, so he put it in the mail bag.
The letter was in her pocket. Just as she was about to put the car into gear and leave, Erkuiniang joked: "Old Wang, look at how affectionate Xinlan calls Lao Wang, take her away."
Lao Wang is actually not very old. He rides in the wind and rain all day, so he is a bit dark. In addition, he is a member of the public family, so people call him Lao Wang. In fact, it is just a respectful title.
Lao Wang walked around the streets all day long. Although he was not very old, he was not only very familiar with people, but also had a thick skin. He had heard too many jokes. Now he heard what Er Kui Niang said, so he said to Er Kui Niang:
"Sister-in-law Fusheng won't go, sister-in-law, why don't you go with me, I promise to make you happy all day long."
Er Kui's father was standing aside. Hearing what Lao Wang said, he took over the conversation and smiled at Er Kui's mother: "Follow me, Lao Wang will treat you as my mother, and I will also enjoy some blessings in the future."
Lao Wang looked at Er Kui's father, fearing that the joke would go too far, so he smiled and said: "Oh, we have met the real owner, we can't mess up anymore. It's time for me to go, old man." He nodded to Er Kui's father,
Then he got on his motorcycle and headed west in a hurry. The dog of Lai Hai's family stood up and barked after him for a short distance before stopping. Looking at Lao Wang going away, Qing Jun said: "Erkui's father is not an old man."
