At noon, when Ou Xiuhua came back from the morning shift, Hou Changwei walked all the way to the gate of the community. Ou Xiuhua reluctantly said a few words and then sent Hou Changwei away.
After thinking about it, he did not enter the community. Instead, he turned around and headed south along the street, towards the farmer's market.
The reason why Hou Changwei was sent away was because he didn't want him to be too aggressive. If he knew that he still wanted to buy groceries, he might have to follow him all the way again.
Ou Xiuhua had noticed that the neighbors downstairs and the proprietress of the canteen at the entrance of the community would occasionally make fun of her about this matter.
Although this move was not malicious and was probably even a bit of good-natured ridicule, it actually made Ou Xiuhua a little uncomfortable.
To put it bluntly, she hasn't gotten over the hurdle in her heart yet.
·
I pinched a handful of leeks and cut two pounds of beef in the vegetable market. I was thinking about today’s dinner, a scrambled egg with leeks, and braised beef, both meat and vegetable. There are also two tomatoes in the refrigerator at home.
When the time comes, it will be enough to beat an egg and make tomato and egg soup.
After buying all the vegetables, I walked to a fruit shop at the entrance of the vegetable market and saw watermelons. It is now December. These are out-of-season fruits and they are not cheap...
But thinking that her daughter, Xiao Zizi, would happily take this bite, Ou Xiuhua planned to cut it in half and go back.
As soon as she walked into the fruit shop, Ou Xiuhua was suddenly stunned.
Frankly speaking, it was actually not the two people standing in front of her that caught Ou Xiuhua's attention at first sight.
But...
The cat on the ground.
The gray cat I raise at home is usually invisible, not even a few times a day. I just know that this beast likes to go to the rooftop to bask in the sun.
It's just that it's a bit weird to see my own cat at the farmer's market a few hundred meters away from home.
What's more, the cat is obviously my own cat, but at this moment, it is lying obediently at someone else's feet, looking lazy, and stretching its head enough to rub its neck against someone else's trouser legs.
Ou Xiuhua was stunned when she saw it.
Looking up, I saw clearly two people standing in the fruit shop. Well, to be precise, there were actually three.
Two big and one small.
A little girl with pink makeup stood there, and Ou Xiuhua recognized it at a glance. She was the girl from the house opposite hers. She had bumped into a little girl several times. She was young and was quite polite to others.
It's just that the adults in the family never show up. On weekdays, I just watch a little girl coming in and out.
It's a pity that a good child learned to dye his hair at a young age and ended up with white hair.
Beside the white-haired little loli, stood an older girl.
At one glance, Ou Xiuhua was stunned.
This woman, even from Ou Xiuhua's perspective, is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
Ou Xiuhua herself was a well-known beauty when she was young. In the factory compound, she has been chased by a group of young men since she came of age.
But even so, when she glanced at the person in front of her, Ou Xiuhua felt that even her young self was about to be compared.
This girl is so beautiful! And so seductive!
She has seaweed-like long hair, casually tied up, but she is wearing ordinary clothes, wide jeans, a large old jacket, and a pair of sneakers. It is obviously a completely grassroots outfit, but when it is put on this girl, it doesn't look good.
Another burst of charming energy.
Totally evil!
When she saw Ou Xiuhua, Yu Naitang was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes, took a step forward, and called out as if she had honey on her mouth: "Hello, aunt."
"Hmm, um, okay." Ou Xiuhua then looked back at the deer carefully in a daze.
Yu Naitang smiled and said: "This is my sister."
"Oh, sister, sister." Ou Xiuhua frowned.
Yu Naitang is also holding a baby in her arms. It is the kind of baby bag that has only become popular in the past two years, hanging on the little Lolita's chest.
In addition to holding the baby, Yu Naitang also held a bag in her hand. Ou Xiuhua, a woman who was familiar with housework, could recognize at a glance that it was the vegetables she had bought, including a handful of vegetables and a fish.
This... made Ou Xiuhua frown a little.
What is this called?
A big girl, with a cold face, stood there leisurely with her hands spread out, her hands empty.
But let your sister, a little one, hold a baby and fetch food?
Which adult taught this?
After thinking this, the feeling of amazement I had just felt towards the deer was immediately reduced.
Ou Xiuhua squinted her eyes and looked at Lu Xixi again, but found that Lu Xixi had no intention of coming up to say hello.
This girl was staring at the fruits on the shelves, looking at them one by one, as if she was completely unaware of the process of greeting the little girl and Ou Xiuhua.
It's just that he doesn't know how to be considerate to his younger sister. He doesn't seem to have any manners. This is Ou Xiuhua's impression in her heart.
However, Ou Xiuhua would not say much about other people's affairs, nor would she show it on her face. After nodding to Yu Naitang, she pointed at the gray cat on the ground: "This..."
That means: Why did my cat come to your place?
This is definitely something to ask.
If you live upstairs in your home, door to door, in a unit with balconies side by side, it's not surprising that animals like cats would crawl around and run into the neighbor's house.
But this is not the building at home, but a farmer's market a mile away.
If your own cat appears here, it must have been brought out by someone else.
To be fair, Ou Xiuhua is not stingy, but anyone else would feel a little uncomfortable.
My cat, you took it out to play all the way without even saying a word to the owner. You can't explain this to anyone, right?
Who is Yu Naitang? He is a little human spirit among the human spirits. He knew what Ou Xiuhua was thinking at a glance, so he quickly smiled and said: "Auntie, my sister and I were out shopping for groceries. We walked downstairs.
, your cat has been following you around. I probably fed it twice before, and it has become familiar with me, so it has been following you around. I saw that there was no one in your house during the day, so I thought I would hold him over here first, and wait until I finished shopping for groceries.
I'll take you back."
When Ou Xiuhua heard this, she felt at peace, nodded and said with a smile: "Oh, that's it, it's okay. You can hold it and play with it if you like, but be careful if the cat gets scratched."
In fact, Ou Xiuhua still likes this little girl. She is good-looking, has a sweet mouth, and has a clever look in her eyes. She is the kind of child that her elders like most.
Hey, it would be nice if I didn't like dyeing my hair.
After chatting for a while, Ou Xiuhua bought half a watermelon and paid for it. Then she watched Yu Naitang buy two pounds of apples and held them in her hands: "Auntie, let's go back together?"
"Yeah." Ou Xiuhua nodded and secretly glanced at the deer next to her.
But he found that this girl looked like an old lady, with both hands free, and had no intention of coming over to help her sister get anything.
I saw Yu Naitang carrying a baby in her arms, carrying vegetables in one hand and apples in the other. In fact, her small body looked a bit embarrassed like this.
Ou Xiuhua frowned and pretended to walk over to look at the child in Yu Naitang's arms. He also looked like a child with pink makeup and jade snow.
In fact, she had seen her once or twice before when she was walking up and down the stairs at home. Ou Xiuhua liked this little fur baby at first sight. It was pink and tender, and it was very cute when she neither cried nor fussed.
The most important thing is that between her eyebrows, there is always a feeling of intimacy that Ou Xiuhua herself cannot explain.
"You are such a good little sister. You don't cry or make trouble." Ou Xiuhua stretched out her hand and gently scratched the child's face, and then said to Yu Naitang seriously: "It's December, and the weather is starting to get cold.
, it is better to take your children out for walks less often. Children are small and prone to coughing due to the cold wind."
Yu Naitang smiled, said a few words casually, and went out with Ou Xiuhua.
Ou Xiuhua looked at Yu Naitang's eldest sister, following behind her with empty hands and a leisurely expression. She didn't call anyone or take care of her, so she just followed behind with a cold expression.
This is really a bit rude.
Ou Xiuhua frowned secretly, and what made her even more speechless was that the gray cat she raised at home also followed the girl obediently, following every step, like a follower, very honest!
This can't be tolerated!
This cat is usually not allowed to be held by himself at home, and it always refuses to get close to him. That is to say, Xiao Zizi can stroke it a few times when he is at home.
But I didn’t expect that I would be such a slave to outsiders outside!
He is a beast that eats everything inside and outside.
Although Ou Xiuhua felt uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't show it on her face and just walked quietly.
As soon as I walked to the roadside outside the vegetable market, the deer behind me suddenly stopped motionless.
Yu Naitang looked back at his teacher and cast a confused look.
Lu Xixian's face was cold, but he stretched out his hand and finally said two words: "That."
Ou Xiuhua listened and found that this girl's voice was quite pleasant, but her tone of voice was a bit cold and even a bit strange.
Following the direction of the deer's thin fingers, I saw a seller selling roasted sweet potatoes across the road, and the aroma wafted over.
Yu Naitang was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Lu Xixian looking at him with a serious expression on his face, he suddenly felt happy!
This is the first time the teacher has taken the initiative to make a request for food? The most important thing is that it is still cooked food!
Yu Naitang immediately smiled and said: "Roasted sweet potatoes? Just wait, I'll buy them."
Saying that, the little girl hurriedly ran across the road.
The deer lowered its hands and stared at it without moving.
Seeing this scene, Ou Xiuhua had the impression of a "bad sister who assigned her younger sister to do work" in her mind.
It's a pity that this girl is so good-looking, but not very kind-hearted.
But at this moment, Ou Xiuhua suddenly looked at the girl and turned to herself, her eyebrows raised on her pretty face.
Then, Ou Xiuhua saw this girl, suddenly stretched out her hand to her, and gently pulled her!
Ou Xiuhua was unprepared for this tug, and was immediately staggered. She couldn't stand still, and a confused thought came to her mind: Why... why did you suddenly attack me?
But when I looked again, I saw a young man running over to me at some point. He was wearing a hat crookedly, but the girl grabbed his wrist, threw it lightly, and then fell out and fell to the ground.
, and actually couldn't get up. A thin blade fell on the ground.
Ou Xiuhua reacted immediately after being stunned, and quickly touched her pocket. Fortunately, her wallet was still there.
No need to ask, this is a pickpocket!
This kind of wallet theft was quite common in 2002. Unlike twenty years later, when everyone paid with their mobile phones, no one took cash with them when they went out.
But in this day and age, apart from shopping malls where you can swipe cards, these places where small businesses and vendors still use cash.
Especially in farmers' markets, housewives or old men and women who go out to buy vegetables usually have a family's food money in their wallets, and they usually have at least two hundred or three hundred dollars in their pockets.
When she saw it was a thief, Ou Xiuhua immediately stood firm.
She was still kind-hearted, so she didn't think of anything else at the first moment, but went over to stop Lu Xixi, grabbed Lu Xixi, and wanted to drag her back.
Girl, please don't get hurt.
The thief on the ground didn't know how to smash it. He couldn't get up after sitting down, so he just lay there and groaned.
This kind of thief usually has an accomplice. Just now in the vegetable market, Ou Xiuhua was spotted when she was paying for groceries.
At this moment, when a thief was lying on the ground, another boy from a distance immediately ran over. When he got closer, he grabbed his accomplice on the ground, and at the same time shouted fiercely at Ou Xiuhua: "Stay away! Don't cause trouble for yourself.
!”
Ou Xiuhua saw clearly that this guy was holding a small knife in his hand. She was not a coward, but she was just a kind woman. She didn't want to cause trouble, so she pulled the deer back slowly.
But unexpectedly, when I pulled it, it didn't move at all.
Just in the blink of an eye, I noticed that the deer beside me was walking past!
Ou Xiuhua immediately became anxious: "Girl, don't..."
Before I could finish speaking, the second half of the sentence was swallowed back.
He watched the deer walk over slowly, stretched out his hand, and somehow used two fingers to pinch the tip of the knife in the hand of the man opposite.
Then, she seemed to shake her fingers slightly, and the man fell to his knees with a plop, his body trembling as if he had suddenly shaken, and he could only hum, not even a word.
I can't speak.
What kind of skills does this girl have?!
When Ou Xiuhua was dumbfounded, she saw Yu Naitang running back in full swing. She rushed forward and hugged the deer Xixian by the waist. She pulled hard and shouted hurriedly: "No, no, it's okay, it's okay."
!”
Then he glared at the two thieves on the ground: "Get out of here! Get out of here! Stay here and wait for us to call the police!!"
As he said that, the little girl went over and kicked each of them on the waist.
After being kicked, the two thieves who were unable to get up at first managed to struggle and roll up, with frightened faces on their faces, and then stumbled away while supporting each other.
The deer narrowed his eyes and glanced down at Yu Naitang. Yu Naitang's heart was pounding, but fortunately, after the deer took a closer look, he looked away and regained his calm expression.
Yu Naitang breathed a sigh of relief.
So suspenseful!
If she had been a little slower just now, and the teacher's mind has not yet recovered, if he flashed the knife in front of her, she would be automatically included in the category of "enemy". If he really took action, these two people would die on the street.
superior!
Two thieves were killed, and Yu Naitang didn't blink an eyelid.
But, cause trouble!
There was also the mother of a scumbag named Chen Yiyi standing next to her, where was her grandma Chen Yiyi!
After all, the teacher is still someone’s daughter-in-law!
How could a daughter-in-law kill her mother-in-law in the street in front of her mother-in-law for the first time?!
Ou Xiuhua looked at the little girl with a confused look on her face. Yu Naitang felt helpless, but managed a forced smile: "Auntie, don't panic, my sister... used to practice martial arts."
"Oh, I practice martial arts..."
·
After a small interlude, we walked all the way home.
Ou Xiuhua is a typical low-class person. In her mind, this kind of thing will be over in the past, and she doesn't even think about calling the police.
As for Yu Naitang, I won’t even mention this issue.
Returning to the community, she went upstairs all the way. When she reached the fifth floor, Ou Xiuhua, who had been silent all the way, said, "I just thanked you two, otherwise I would have lost my wallet. Well... I have to
If you don’t mind it, come to my place for dinner tonight.”
With that said, Ou Xiuhua took the key and opened the door, and said with a smile: "Besides, I see you bought vegetables. You are so young, you probably can't do it. Come here, auntie will cook it for you. If you can do it, you can
Take it back and put it in the refrigerator so you can eat it for one day tomorrow."
Yu Naitang hesitated for a moment, then squinted his eyes carefully and looked at the door Ou Xiuhua opened...
I don't know why, but a complex and doubtful look flashed in Lu's slender eyes. Suddenly, without saying a word, he walked over. Without saying anything to Ou Xiuhua, he walked past her and entered the Chen room.
The door of the home.
·
Lu walked through the door carefully, and a blank expression suddenly flashed across his cold and cold face. He stood in the corridor and looked at the living room furnishings inside...
Suddenly, there was something strange between the deer's eyebrows, and then he turned around silently...
Next, it was Ou Xiuhua's turn to stare!
She just looked at this girl, after entering her house...
Then, as if in an extremely natural gesture, he opened the door of the shoe cabinet on the wall.
Then, he accurately took off a pair of beige ladies slippers from the second floor of the shoe cabinet!!
Then, after changing into slippers, Lu Xixian walked in.
Ou Xiuhua...
She was dumbfounded!!
How does she know where my shoe cabinet is?
besides!
Those beige ladies slippers!
When I first moved in, I discovered that my son had a pair of women's slippers at home. At that time, I was curious and asked where the women's slippers came from.
At that time, my son also vaguely said that he bought it casually and kept it at home for guests to use.
Ou Xiuhua was stunned for a moment, and the person turned back to her, reached out and took the food in her hand, and then turned around and entered the kitchen in the house.
Ou Xiuhua was surprised and quickly followed her.
Then he found Lu Xixian in his kitchen. He took out the vegetable washing basin from the cupboard, threw the beef into the basin, and went to pick the kitchen knife hanging on the knife holder...
"Oh, girl! You are a guest, how can I let you..."
Ou Xiuhua hurried up to stop him. After stopping him twice, the deer's eyes widened and he looked at Ou Xiuhua curiously.
Suddenly, she spoke.
Although the voice was still a bit unclear, fortunately Ou Xiuhua understood it clearly.
What people say is: "You...won't you let me do it?"
"Huh?" Ou Xiuhua was stunned and said quickly: "No, no, no, girl, you have a rest, go and have a rest. There is no reason to let guests cook. Go, go and have a rest."
The deer frowned and seemed to be thinking seriously about something: "Have a rest?"
"That's right, go and have a rest!"
Lu nodded carefully, put down the dishes in his hands, then turned around and left the kitchen.
Ou Xiuhua felt strange, but she also changed her mind at this moment: This girl may not be who she thought before. She seemed to be quite enthusiastic, but maybe she was a little weird, and just now... Hey!! Hey?!!!
!
Ou Xiuhua was dumbfounded when she saw Lu Xixi actually turned around and entered the bedroom!!
Moreover, what he entered was his son Chen Nuo’s bedroom!!
How can you be a guest at someone's home and go straight into their bedroom without saying a word?!
Ou Xiuhua hurriedly chased her out, "No, girl, that's my son's room..."
She yelled and chased her all the way to the door of the bedroom. Before she could finish saying the word "Jian", Ou Xiuhua closed her mouth.
Lu Xixi opened the wardrobe in the bedroom and took out a set of home pajamas that Chen Nuo had put inside.
Then, he just took off his coat and put his pajamas on himself!!
Ou Xiuhua was really angry!
No matter how good-tempered she is, she can never see this!
An outsider came to the house as a guest, broke into his son's bedroom, went through other people's wardrobes, and put other people's clothes on himself?!
Nothing like this!!
"Girl! You...hey! Get up! Get up!"
Seeing Lu Xixi actually sat down on Chen Nuo's bed.
Ou Xiuhua hurried up, grabbed him, and said angrily: "What are you doing!"
Lu Xixian looked at Ou Xiuhua with wide eyes, frowned and said, "...rest, you let me...rest."
"No!! Then you can't run into the bedroom! There's no such thing!" Ou Xiuhua took a deep breath and her tone became colder: "Don't you think about it...whose house is this!!!"
"Whose family?"
Lu Xixian seemed to be talking to himself, tilting his head and thinking carefully, and then looked a little confused.
But, soon, something came out of her mouth.
"This is... my husband's house."
thump!
The things in Ou Xiuhua's hands fell to the ground.
Suddenly he turned his head and looked at Yu Naitang standing outside the door.
Yu Naitang looked embarrassed and covered his forehead with his hands.
Ou Xiuhua's heart was in a mess, but a few thoughts suddenly flashed across her mind!
slippers!
Familiar tricks in the kitchen!
Also, in Chen Nuo's bedroom closet, she casually found some pajamas!
besides……
wrong!!
It may have taken Ou Xiuhua decades of life, but at this moment, her IQ suddenly soared to its peak.
He turned around and rushed in front of Yu Naitang. His expression suddenly changed and he stared at Yu Naitang: "You... know my son!"
"Uh... we know each other."
Ou Xiuhua took a deep breath and suddenly looked at the little baby Chen Yiyi in Yu Naitang's arms: "..."
Then he turned to look at Lu Xixi, who was already leaning on the bed naturally: "She... also knows my son?"
"…………know."
"Who is the mother of the child!" Ou Xiuhua suddenly felt that her voice was a little dry.
"...My sister gave birth to her." Yu Naitang's eyes dodge.
"Your sister gave birth to the child! You said it was your sister?!"
"Uh... Actually, she is not my sister, but my teacher. So the child is my sister." Yu Naitang's voice became lower and lower.
A flash of light flashed in Ou Xiuhua's heart, and she turned to look at the deer on the bed, and then at the child in Yu Naitang's arms.
Finally, she endured the feeling of weakness in her legs and said in a trembling voice: "What's the child's last name?"
