: One thousand and fifty-five down the stove

After taking a nap for a while at noon, Shen Jiao was about to go to Xu's house. During lunch, she went out to have a look. Aunt Xu asked Xu Xiaoli to persuade her to go back.

Aunt Huang and Aunt Lu didn't go to work, but cooked glutinous rice at home. This is a custom in Kuaiji. If the family has bad luck, they will cook a big pot of glutinous rice and invite neighbors or passersby to eat it. , euphemistically called to go to bad luck.

The glutinous rice is still exchanged at the Shen family. No one can prepare too much glutinous rice at any time of year. Only a wealthy family like the Shen family will have glutinous rice for replacement. Therefore, Aunt Huang stands in the center of the alley again The Xu family scolded severely.

It's no wonder that Aunt Huang and Aunt Lu are so nervous. Xu Guifu's suicide, commonly known as "heavy death", is a bad thing in itself. Aunt Xu is still holding the ashes jar to block the door, isn't it bad luck!

Therefore, Shen Jiao was very straightforward when changing the glutinous rice. She exchanged three liters for them, one liter of glutinous rice for two liters of rice, and Shen Jiao could see Aunt Huang and Aunt Lu's hearts twisting like a knife through the rice bag.

Shen Jiao cut out a piece of white paper, pasted rice grains into a simple white bag, and wrapped it with five yuan. This is already a lot of money. Most people usually pay one or two yuan, and there are also five yuan!

"Grandpa, I'm going out."

Shen Jiao pushed out the bicycle and said hello to Shen Jiaxing. Yuan Yuan Zhuang Zhuang Zhuang ran over and kissed Shen Jiao on the face. Since Han Qixiu was away, the two little guys were very sticky with her.

"Goodbye Mom!"

Shen Jiao smiled and kissed her son on the face. When she was about to go out with the cart, Cuicui also ran over and whispered, "Goodbye, auntie."

"goodbye!"

Shen Jiao lowered her head and kissed the little **** the face. She had been raised in the Shen family for a few months. Today, the little girl is white and tender and very attractive. Cuicui's eyes flashed with joy, and her little face was flushed.

Zhuang Zhuang, who was next to him, didn't blink his eyes. His sister seemed to like kissing very much. He didn't even want to think about it.

Cuicui's little face turned even redder. Although the little girl didn't know that men and women were protected, she subconsciously felt that it was a shameful thing for brother Zhuang Zhuang to do this in person. Shen Jiao looked funny and tapped Zhuang Zhuang's head down.

"You can't kiss your sister casually!"

Shen Jiao didn't pay much attention to it, the main reason was that the two little guys were too young, just weaned little brats, what precautions should be taken between men and women?

In ancient times, it was still seven years old to be divided!

Zhuangzhuang answered Shen Jiao's words loudly, but after Shen Jiao left, he whispered in Cuicui's ear, "I secretly kiss my sister."

"Snapped"

Yuanyuan next to him slapped his face with a stern face, glared at his fascinated brother, and said solemnly, "If you don't listen to your mother, find a fight!"

Zhuangzhuang touched the back of his head slackly, and the little **** that had just sprung out immediately shrank back. He was 100% sure to escape from his mother's sight, but under his brother's eyelids, there was even a 1% chance. nothing.

Cuicui covered her small mouth and grinned, and thoughtfully peeled a pine nut and put it into brother Zhuangzhuang's mouth. The child was very easy to coax, and Zhuangzhuang's shoes soon smiled again, without a trace of depression.

She had just stepped into the gate of the courtyard where Xu's family lived, when she heard a quarrel coming from the second floor, mixed with Aunt Xu's voice, Shen Jiao couldn't help frowning, whether this Aunt Xu was really sad or fake, the man died only. Knowing that there are quarrels and troubles with others, I am not afraid that Xu Guifu will go unsteady.

Among the old ladies who quarreled with Aunt Xu, Aunt Xu scolded the old ladies to the point of having a brain hemorrhage.

As soon as Shen Jiao walked up the stairs, she understood why the old lady was cursing. This Aunt Xu placed incense candles in the corridor and stairs, and even saw a few ashes, flying around in the wind, like a crow's feather, looking very good. unlucky.

Dare, Aunt Xu used this large courtyard as a funeral home and started a ceremony of worship, so it's no wonder that the neighbors are not happy!

"Sister-in-law of the Xu family, are you being unreasonable? The corridors and stairs are owned by everyone, not your family's private property. If you play feudalism on public property like this, be careful of people writing big-character posters!"

"Ah yo, what time is it now? Big-character posters? You're old and your brains are not clear, don't you read if you can't stand it, my man just left, you all come to bully our orphans, widows and mothers, God You don't have long eyes, you should strike a thunderbolt to hit the wicked!"

Aunt Xu clapped her hands and beat her chest, making a high voice and a low voice, just like singing a play, Shen Jiaozhen frowned, if it wasn't for the sake of the neighbors, she really didn't want to come over to give money, it looked bad.

The three brothers Xu Guanghui were ashamed, but they didn't dare to step forward to persuade them. For the three brothers who grew up with Aunt Xu's scolding, they couldn't even imagine what would happen if they confronted Aunt Xu.

Still, Xu Guanghui couldn't stand it any longer, so he went up to talk to a few old ladies, "Aunt Huang, Aunt Li Aunt Zhang, I'm really sorry, I'll go and pack up in a while."

"What do you charge? I'll keep these incense candles for seven days, or your dad will find his way home and become a lonely ghost outside!" Aunt Xu cursed in a shrill voice.

The old ladies were all chilled after hearing this. Suddenly, a gust of wind came over, the flames of the candles kept jumping, and the ashes of paper money scattered on the ground also fluttered in the wind. Not to mention the old ladies, even Shen Jiao. They all felt a gust of wind blowing behind them.

Aunt Xu took advantage of this, beating her chest and stomping her feet: "Guifu, do you know that these wicked people are bullying our orphans and widowed mothers? How could you just leave our mothers like this? You can see who is bullying us. Go to her house at night to avenge us!"

Shen Jiao's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter, even though she knew that there would be no ghosts in the clear sky, but someone had just died here, and the yin qi was already heavy. If Aunt Xu was crying like this, Shen Jiao didn't even think about it for a second. stay.

The old ladies naturally thought the same way, they spat bitterly and scolded: "It's really bad luck to live with a sloppy family like you, and it's no wonder that good girls are unwilling to marry. Entering your house, with a wicked mother-in-law like you, the girl is blind to marry in and suffer!"

The faces of the three Xu Guanghui brothers changed drastically. It was their eternal pain in their hearts that they could not get a wife. Not to mention the local girls in Haishi, even the girls from other rural areas refused to marry them. A great girl.

After the three old ladies left in a hurry, Shen Jiao stepped forward and called out, and Xu Xiaoli, who had been silent for a while, greeted her in surprise: "Sister Shen!"

Shen Jiao smiled reluctantly, took out the white bag and handed it to Aunt Xu: "Auntie's condolences, this is a little thought."
