This time Aunt Wu did not come alone. She was accompanied by a young man. He looked tall and thin, but his hands and feet were a little thick, which were obviously traces of years of hard work.
After entering, he stood quietly behind Aunt Wu without saying a word.
Aunt Wu introduced to Sister Xiang, "This is my natal nephew. As I told you before, he used to help in that rice noodle shop, but the shop closed some time ago. I heard about Dali's mill two days ago.
Looks like they're hiring.
My nephew has nothing else to offer, he just has a lot of strength and is hard-working. In the rice noodle shop, the shopkeepers said that he was the most capable. If it weren't for the fact that his boss moved to the next county, he wouldn't be able to do much.
I want to take him with me if it’s convenient!”
Sister Xiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Where did you get this news? I haven't heard Dali talk about it yet, but since you said it, Sister Wu, I'll ask again when Dali comes back in the evening.
he?"
After saying that, he quickly called people to come in and sit down, "Look at me, what are you talking about at the door right now!"
Aunt Wu handed over a lotus leaf bag and walked down to the kitchen with a smile, "My nephew is very sincere. He knew that he wanted to use your strong words to ask for help, so he went to cut off half a piece of pork liver on the table.
, I’m glad I’ll add another dish for you too.”
Sister Xiang quickly refused, but Aunt Wu put down the things in the kitchen early, and then pushed Sister Xiang to the main room, "I heard that you picked the tea yourself this year, at least let me taste it."
One taste."
She was very strong and enthusiastic, and Sister Xiang had no choice but to be pushed forward by her.
After entering the main room, Aunt Wu looked around and said, "Why don't you see your sister? I just saw her yesterday. She really looks like a fairy daughter from the sky."
In fact, Qiao Yuyan taught Ping'er how to read in her own room.
In a place like this, few men are literate, not to mention that she is a woman. If someone sees her, it will be regarded as news.
Given the conditions of Sister Xiang's natal family, it was impossible for her daughter to go to school. She was afraid that she would be betrayed in just a few seconds, so when she saw someone knocking on the door, Qiao Yuyan took Ping'er into the house.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Wu would ask about herself.
Sister Xiang was also a little surprised. She was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile: "She's in the house! She never likes to go out."
Originally, she wanted to say that she was not feeling well, but when she thought of Aunt Wu's enthusiasm, she quickly changed her mind and simply called Qiao Yuyan out, "Xiaoyan, please help me pour two cups of tea."
Qiao Yuyan sighed helplessly inside, but she also knew that now that she was hiding her identity as Sister Xiang's cousin, the more natural she would be, the less suspicious she would be, so she adjusted her mentality and walked out as expected.
She knew Sister Xiang's tea, so she imitated the way Sister Xiang made tea for Dali on weekdays, and brought two tea bowls over.
Aunt Wu looked at her and smiled brightly, "You, a girl from my mother's family, have a temperament like that of a lady in the family. Your words and deeds really make people feel happy just looking at you."
"Oops!" Qiao Yuyan had just put another bowl of tea in front of the young disciple. Unexpectedly, the junior student suddenly stood up and bumped into the tea bowl, almost spilling it onto Qiao Yuyan.
Fortunately, Sister Xiang kept paying attention and pulled Qiao Yuyan away. After checking and seeing that she was not injured, she felt relieved.
"You kid, why are you so careless!" Aunt Wu also scolded and hurriedly came to see Qiao Yuyan's condition.
Qiao Yuyan waved her hands quickly, "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't get burned."
When she finished speaking, she looked up and found that Mrs. Wu's nephew was looking at her intently with his eyes, but his face was flushed with embarrassment.
Sister Xiang also discovered this and was shocked. She immediately smiled and said, "Go back! I'll do it!"
After Qiao Yuyan left, she poured another bowl of tea and said, "My sister is always in the countryside. She sees few strangers, so don't be surprised."
When she said this, she looked at the young man quietly, and sure enough, she saw that his eyes were still on the door of Qiao Yuyan's room.
However, Aunt Wu couldn't hold back the smile on her face, "What?
No, my nephew was too reckless, but it’s also my fault that your sister was born so well, I felt a little dizzy just looking at her that day!”
At this point, what else don’t you understand?
Aunt Wu brought her nephew here today to find out whether the work was fake, but whether it was true or not!
Therefore, I felt a little dissatisfied. Aunt Wu was a little too careless in her work. "Girls, it's better not to praise her like this! You don't have to embarrass her."
After saying that, he changed the subject and said, "We're going to have lunch soon. Why don't Sister Wu eat together here and then go over?"
Since he came here with the intention of getting married, how could the man have dinner at his house for the first time? Aunt Wu still knows this etiquette.
Anyway, my nephew had already seen the person, so he declined with a smile and turned back with the person.
After everyone left, Sister Xiang's face darkened. When she entered the room, she saw Qiao Yuyan looking at her.
"What should we do?!" Sister Xiang said distressedly, "There is actually a blind date drama."
"Sister, why don't you just say in a more subtle way that I'm engaged," Qiao Yuyan had just thought of this, "It's all lies, more or less doesn't make much difference."
After thinking about it for a long time, Sister Xiang seemed to have only this idea.
So the two of them made plans again and decided on a marriage for Qiao Yuyan. They had decided on it since they were young. Her husband's family lived in the next county and they were distant relatives.
The farther away you are from Nankang County, the harder it will be for people here to get to the bottom of it.
Only then was the total summed up, and someone came to the door again in the afternoon, but it was the middle-aged man who came with Aunt Wu last time.
He also brought someone with him this time, and that person was known to Sister Xiang, "Yang Captou, why are you coming here when you have time? Come inside and sit down!"
The expression on Mr. Yang's head was a little serious, with a straight face, and his smile did not change at all when facing Sister Xiang.
After hearing this, he just walked in with his hands behind his back, and then asked in a low voice: "I heard that there is a foreigner in your family?"
Sister Xiang became a little nervous, "Yes! It's my maternal cousin. A while ago, my Ping'er went to live at my grandma's house for a while. My cousin sent it back for me, so she plans to stay at my house for a while."
As she spoke, she hesitated to call Qiao Yuyan out, and then she heard Chief Yang say: "You should know what's going on in the county these days! The brothers in the Yamen are busy hunting down the bandits in Heifeng Village.
"
"Yes, yes, you know, the officials have been here twice. It's been several days, and it's really hard work."
As he spoke, he took out a few words from his waist and tried to put them into Capt. Yang's hand. Before he could put them in, the other party waved his hand, "No need, call your sister out and let me take a look."
