The person standing in front is a middle-aged woman in her forties, with the same mushroom short hair of this era, wearing the most common dark blue stand-up collar cotton jacket of this era, her face is also the face of the most ordinary middle-aged woman, and she is carrying a
A mesh bag with two bottles of malted milk inside, as if visiting relatives.
Standing behind the middle-aged woman is a girl in her twenties. Her curly hair looks like she has just been permed. The curls are stiff and fluffy. With her round face, her head looks a bit big.
The girl was wearing a very new cotton-padded jacket with colorful butterflies printed on it. She poked her head out from behind the middle-aged woman to look at Ru Yue. Her face was red and her eyes were very uneasy, even a little panicked.
Ru Yue: "Who are you looking for?"
The middle-aged woman did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked Ru Yue up and down. After a while, she said, "Is it Zhong Chen's family? Is he there?"
"Yes, it's the Zhongchen family. He..." Ru Yue turned to look at Zhongchen's room: "He's not here."
She didn't see him when she came back today. He hasn't been at home at this time recently, so he must be away.
The middle-aged woman looked at Ru Yue again, with a reserved smile on her face: "When will he come back?"
"I don't know. Auntie, what can I do for you?"
"We...we have something very important to look for him, so let's go in and wait for him."
"……All right."
Ru Yue looked at the two women for a few times and thought about it. In this season, it is very cold outside, and the two women are not dangerous. Moreover, they looked like visiting relatives, and they also said that they had something very important.
, then people can only come in first.
But she was really busy, so she let the two women into the kitchen, poured them a glass of water, and Ru Yue just continued kneading the dough and making the balls.
The two women sat on opposite sides of the Eight Immortals table in the kitchen.
The young girl lowered her head most of the time, occasionally looking at Ru Yue.
Ru Yue can feel her gaze, but Ru Yue will not greet people warmly if she is not familiar with them.
The middle-aged woman was different. She kept looking at the house, and after sitting there for only five minutes, she started chatting with Ru Yue: "This house is really nice, does it have five rooms?"
Ru Yue: "Yeah."
Woman: "Oh, there's a TV set too! Who bought such a big TV set?"
Ru Yue wanted not to answer.
But the lesbian stood up, groped around, and asked: "Hey, comrade, who bought it? How much did it cost?"
Ru Yue couldn't figure out the relationship between these two people and Zhong Chen, and felt that it would be bad if they were too rude.
She simply replied: "I don't know. I didn't buy it."
The middle-aged woman chased and asked, "Who bought it?"
Ru Yue: "...Oh, Brother Chen bought it."
"Brother Chen? Did Zhong Chen buy it?"
"……Um."
"What's that?"
"Which one?"
"That's it."
From the corner of Ru Yue's eyes, she could feel that she didn't answer. The woman's hand kept pointing. She had to look up: "...Oh, the video recorder."
"Zhong Chen bought this too?"
"...Hmm." Ru Yue replied weakly.
It's really hard to meet people with this kind of social arrogance.
Ru Yue decided that if this woman asked again, she would always answer "yes".
Sure enough, after a while, the woman asked again: "Oh, is this a refrigerator? Oh, this is the first time I saw a refrigerator. Oh my God, it turns out that the refrigerator is like this. It is bigger than what I saw on TV! Oh, comrade
, Zhong Chen also bought this?"
Ru Yue: "..."
The middle-aged woman didn't give up until she heard the answer: "Hey, comrade, Zhong Chen bought this too?"
"……Um."
"That's great! Oh, so people who are capable are capable! Hey, this kind of pot that makes a 'whining' noise was also bought by Zhong Chen, right?"
"Um."
"Hey, do you all use this big stove with three briquettes?"
"Um."
"Hey, comrade, what about you? Are you Zhong Chen's sister?"
Ru Yue didn't even listen to what she said, and just said "Hmm."
The woman came closer to her and asked: "Oh, she is really a sister, no wonder she is so beautiful! Hey, my sister from the Zhong family, your brother said she is not married yet, so is there anyone for you?"
Only then did Ru Yue realize what she had just asked, but her patience and politeness had run out.
She made no more noise.
However, this woman seemed to be particularly enthusiastic about this. She looked at Ru Yue's balls for a while, and then immediately raised her arms: "Hey, sister Zhong, why are you making so many balls? Let me help you.
I'll wash my hands first, where is the water?"
Ru Yue quickly said, "No, no, no," but she couldn't stop her at all.
Not only did the woman go to the water tank to scoop out water and wash her hands, she also called to the girl sitting there: "Shuangshuang, come here too, wash your hands, and help sister Zhong make balls! Come on, don't be stunned!"
Ru Yue's hands were full of flour, but she couldn't push the two people, so she could only keep saying: "No need, I have to sell this for money, and there are hygiene requirements. I'm not familiar with you, I don't want it, I don't want it!"
"
The woman has washed her hands: "I'm very hygienic, and I'm also good at rolling balls. My Shuangshuang's hands and feet are also very nimble. Come on, let me rub them for you!"
As she spoke, she was about to put her hand into the flour.
Ru Yue used her body to protect the flour basin and got angry: "Hey, you! I don't know you. How do I know if you are healthy? If you have any problems, will I still sell these meatballs?
Okay, it’s your business to find Brother Chen, just go and wait outside, really!”
Unexpectedly, this woman didn't take her eviction order at all: "Oh, you are so particular about it. I am very healthy. I am a factory doctor. Don't worry, don't worry. My Shuangshuang is also healthy. Oh, you are so particular."
Be careful, your stuff must be very good, right?"
Ru Yue lowered her eyes and remained silent.
The woman finally felt a little embarrassed, rubbed her hands and said, "I saw you were busy alone, uh, I didn't know you were so particular, so I'll just stand and take a look, okay?"
Ru Yue is a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. Seeing the woman's low profile, she raised her head and gave her a half-smile: "It's mainly because we are not familiar with each other. Thank you for your kindness."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, um, you make so many meatballs and sell them...are you self-employed?"
"Um."
"Oh, how is business?"
"Um."
"Does your brother have no partner?"
"Hmm...huh?" Ru Yue responded habitually, but felt something was wrong.
What did you ask just now? It seems that he is always inquiring about Zhong Chen's personal affairs.
She raised her head and looked at the woman warily.
The woman was a little embarrassed by her gaze, and smiled and brushed her short hair: "Ha, I was just asking around. Haha, it's okay, you are busy, you are busy, you are the only one who is busy, I am really embarrassed.
"
Ru Yue stopped what she was doing, started rubbing the flour on her hands, and said with a serious face: "Then please go outside and wait. I see that you and Brother Chen are not very familiar with each other, so go out!"
